First, it is misinterpretation to say "personality cult thing". Xi does has much stronger support than Hu Jintao and Jiang Zemin. There have been endless mockeries towards Hu and Jiang in the Internet. You won't find many towards Xi. People may disagree with Xi and voice their opposition. But they won't mock him. That is a big difference.

Xi get more accepted and supported largely because he is open to new ideas. As mentioned in the article, Xi doesn't believe in implementing democracy in China in present days. His stance is not because he was told so, but from his studying and understanding of democracy and China. One might disagree with him, but one might have to admit he does have some valid points.

Second, it is very easy to bypass GFW in China. There are many tools available in the Internet. It requires only basic knowledge on Internet. The young generations have no problem in browsing websites in western countries if they really want to.
Those buttons could do with a 'position: relative; z-index: 1' so they are still easy to click when the table is rotated and overlaps them.

The Constitution protects your right to free speech. Do you really understand what is being protected?

The Constitution protects your freedom of religion. Do you really understand how it is protected?

The Constitution says, "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union..."
Then in the Bill of Rights (the first 10 amendments) the freedoms of the people are listed. Another way to look at it is the "Limitations of the Government" are listed.

Therefore, the 1st amendment protects your right to religious freedom, by saying "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;".
If you read it carefully, you will see that the intention was to prohibit the government from making any law for or against religion. Even a law protecting you against someone elses religion would be illegal. However, it does not protect you from the Jehovah's Witness trying to give you that Watchtower, nor does it protect that JW from getting yelled at by me to get the fuck off my porch. It does however, protect the JW from having a cop arrest them for giving out the Watchtower.

Get it, it protects you from the Government not from other people.

The same amendment goes on to add "or abridging the freedom of speech". If you fix it, it would read "Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech". Again NO LAW shall be made. In other words, I can tell you to shut up, but the government cannot.

These statements are pretty straightforward and absolute. The quicker we all get this the better off we will be.

So your statement is true for corporations and individuals. So you could opt out too. Like it or not this is how the founders wanted it to be. And I am glad for that. Now lets make sure the government knows that these are limits on them not us!

The quote in that article is fairly accurate, I don't see why you dismiss it. It's congressional testimony so you can get it from the source: http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CHRG-111shrg54048/pdf/CHRG-111s...

"...Ticketmaster’s service charge is, you know, Ticketmaster was set up as a system where they took the heat for everybody. Ticketmaster frequently gets a minority percentage of that service charge. In that service charge are the credit card fees, the rebates to the buildings, rebates sometimes to artists, some- times rebates to promoters. So Ticketmaster has been the—we are like the IRS. We deliver bad news."

I have Crohn's disease, have therefore been exposed to numerous doubtful stories about 'boosting the immune' system. With my illness, a 'boost' would actually make me sicker, whereas I find that fasting for a couple of days results in improvement of symptoms for me. Why? Obviously because my digestive system becomes empty, and there is less irritation of damaged intestinal lining. Going by this study, an increased production of white blood cells should make me sicker. My anecdotal evidence does not support their findings.

Long story short - if their claims are true they will be able to be reproduced by other researchers. Until then, colour me sceptical.
My first commercial 8-bit games (Sinclair Spectrum and Amstrad CPC) were developed entirely with border color as the only debugging tool. Figuring out a particular stack corruption bug was a miracle, and there was at least another bug that went unfixed (just changed the level map and it stopped happening). Those were the days ahem.
I don't understand what problem(s) the "anonymity" solves within the context setting by this app?

I think it certainly improves user experience by removing the boring registration process (if it's the definition of the anonymity), but it's hardly a selling point, or core of a product.
According to Alan Kay:

OOP to me means only messaging, local retention and protection and
hiding of state-process, and extreme late-binding of all things. It
can be done in Smalltalk and in LISP. There are possibly other
systems in which this is possible, but I'm not aware of them.

I think over the years OO just ended up meaning "whatever C++, Java and C#" implemented. But you are right, if you go back to its original design Erlang is probably more OO than any of those languages. I believe this was Joe Armstrong's tongue-in-cheek observation a while back as well.
"A team of researchers at the New York State Psychiatric Institute surveyed 43,000 Americans and found that, by some wide margin, the rich were more likely to shoplift than the poor." In college I worked as a security guard, and was astonished to see to amount of seemingly wealthy people shop
lifting. It didn't make any sense, other than the thrill? Minorities, and seemingly low income people were watched the
minute they walked on the door. If they did steal they were
always arrested. The wealthy shop lifters were allowed to steal if they were good customers(spent a lot). Not one was
ever arrested. While I was there a doctor's wife would steal
weekly--she was given a stern warning. I'm tempted to name the store. On another note; employee theft was usually higher than customer theft. I though that store was an anomaly, but that's not the case; security professionals try
to keep the real truth a secret.
Not a summary, the whole legally binding thing. But I'd allow 280 characters.

It would be good to define some phrases in the law that then have unambiguous legal meaning so that privacy policies don't have to spend time defining things in full.
I love everything about this. Good job so far!
I think an important detail that's needed here is how long the traffic back up issue has been a problem and when amazon requested it be change. If this has been an issue for years and amazon only recently requested the change, that's pretty scummy.
Us knowing about their existence can hardly be of any disadvantage?
Some people transfer coins out, but that’s definitely not what the average person is doing with ever-increasing Bitcoin transaction fees.
It does, but Nginx normalization is a bit dummy. It doesn't take into account the reserved chars for example.
I'm still waiting on the crisis to materialize. Florida was suppose to be under water 10 years ago and 50 years ago we were suppose to be in a second Ice Age. Oh and the Ozone was suppose to be gone by now.
> If COVID has shown us anything, the answer to the last question is unequivocally no. COVID has been a very obvious salient problem and most nations failed the test. If we can't beat COVID, we will not beat climate change. No technology can change human nature.

I think COVID actually teaches a different lesson. Our experience with COVID teaches that it has to be technology that addresses climate change, not political or sociological solutions. Lockdowns ultimately failed in even the most socially disciplined countries like Germany. But we got a vaccine developed in record time.

Similarly for climate change, solutions that require "everyone to cooperate and do their part" won't work. It just won't. Even if the USA and Europe went to zero emissions tomorrow, growing CO2 emissions in industrializing China, India, and Africa are going to keep increasing global CO2 emissions. It's rational for them. Bangladesh is going to be one of the hardest-hit countries from climate change--an estimated 30-50% hit to GDP by 2100. But investing in rapid growth and industrialization, even at the cost of climate, still makes sense for Bangladesh. One, because of game theory--Bangladesh cannot by itself avoid climate change, due to emissions by other countries. Two, because of math--a 30-50% hit to what Bangladesh's economy could be in 80 years with strong growth would still leave it better of on net than risking doing anything to compromise the 5-7% annual GDP growth it has now and stagnating for that time.

To mitigate climate change, the developed world needs moonshot technologies. We need to not only be investing in renewable energy--although that's necessary, going to zero emissions will still not be enough. We need to be investing massive amounts of money into carbon sequestration technology.
It’s not a trope. It’s being realistic about the problems and advantages of crypto. Problem: Counterparty risk from crypto exchanges is much, much higher than that of traditional banking. Advantage: Self-custody of crypto is much more secure than stuffing stock certificates under your mattress. Solution: Exchange crypto on crypto exchanges. But, don’t rely on them for custody any longer than necessary.
This reminds me a lot of [EWD539], which was originally written as a parody about how ridiculous it would be if mathematical proofs were developed with the same kind of processes that were used for software development. At the time, the message is that programs should be developed more like mathematics, but now it seems like the actual vision Dijkstra described is more or less coming to pass.

It already does. Central heating and cooling.
The article discusses the current trend but you hint at the possibility of a trend reversal. The CPUs are more and more multicore with wider SIMD. Many now have dynamic clock rates or low clock rates. The GPUs which use to actually have fixed functions now more and more are just GPGPUs. This to me is a convergence.
It looks like an XT to me. The PC/XT looked identical to the original PC, except that the XT had one of the two floppy drives replaced with a 10mb hard drive. You can see that in the video at about 0:38: the floppy is on the left, the hard drive is on the right, with a light flashing on it as the data loads. (The next model, the PC/AT, looked different from the original PC.)
You must not have heard of node.js :)
which version of jruby? is 2gb per process an issue if you can run it multithreaded?
Basically, the gov't is arguing "this guy is likely a recruiter for al-queada <or however it's spelled>, we should be allowed to kill this terrorist, even though he has US citizenship."

The gov't is getting sued by the ACLU and the CCR because the ACLU and the CCR saw "kill" and "he has US citizenship." and are asking for a standard upon which the gov't tests to see if they should kill you.

My opinion: I'm not with the gov't on this. The guy needs to be tried and found guilty. THEN, the gov't may kill him.
For the Rb = (Tv / Te) equation, since Tv = visits to one page, shouldn't Te = Total entries to site?

Also, It's worth adding (to me, at least) that a Flash site will have a skewed (higher) bounce rate because most/all of the content is in the .swf in a single .html page. We often have customer freak out over their 95% bounce rate.
LuaJIT has a memory limit of 4gb. When it is compiled for x64, it has a limit of 1gb. You cannot use Lua lanes to bypass this, the Lua states must be in different processes.

The lack of try/catch is also a nuisance.
Removing code that does nothing. For example: "true;"
Dead code is a segment, that is not reachable during execution or does not add anything to the result. If you find such code, you can spare CPU cycles and get a better benchmark result.

Wordpress won because, reason 0, it actually worked and didn't break all the fucking time. Particularly for enduser software, people severely underrate code that isn't brittle shit that breaks if you look at it cross eyed.
Finding code which is executed (so its not unreachable) but whose results are not used. Its a kind of optimization to speed up program execution by not doing unnecessary work.

"... Definitely put up a non-flash version of your promo video on your website ..."

Agree I can't read it, pretty simple request.
Yes, computing resources, including computing power, memory usage and storage are limiting factors and they do increase cost. One instance - who cares. 1000 instances and you might care. Something you ship for other people to run? End users might care.

Give me ssh, and I can deploy my app to default installation setup in a second, like CentOS 6. That includes binary transfer, installation and startup.

Hot deploy is nice. Sadly Golang is one of the only language environments where you just can't do it. Do watch out, the issues you'll encounter may be rather unique. Especially when applied in production...
And HTTP2 is essentially just a multiplexed wrapper around HTTP1-like semantics, AFAICS.

I'm not an HTTP2 expert, but I would bet that WireShark can make an HTTP2 session look basically the same as a bunch of HTTP1 requests. It's the same "wrapper" concept except it adds multiplexing.
Why does every conversations about smartphones end up with an argument between Apple and Android? A) There are more than two options (you can't predict the future) B) That's completely unrelated to the article. Yes he mentioned an android phone as an example, but this kind of growth will be universal. People have learned that fighting over vi and emacs is pointless, please learn the same lesson here, your opinion doesn't please everybody.

FYI: The json that powers the ajaxy interface includes pretty much their entire users table, including email address. When they first launched the hashed password was also in there, but at least they fixed that.

So their claim: "your email address is not even available to be scrapped up by a bot when the web page loads" may be true only in the sense you don't even need a bot to scrape the emails.
Ruby really has had a great year. All us fanboys can now say "I told you so".

Ruby 1.9.2 and Rails 3.0 were great milestones.

Also the community has flourished. We lost _why (sniff) and Zed (don't let the door hit you...) but some great folk really came out of the woodwork to make Rails 3.0 awesome:

Aaron Patterson

Jose Valim

some Carlhuda guy

And a hundred others. I used to enjoy watching the Rails/Merb catfights, but this strong community is so much better to have.
It's interesting how kids are so honest about their feelings. He didn't learn this from his wife, and if you think about it it's highly likely it's affecting their relationship as well. People should be more open with their feelings.
If a user logs in, and their work factor is the low one, authenticate them, and then calculate the new hash with the higher work factor, and save the new hash and work factor.

Why is the post dumb? If not health, what would be the most hard pressing problem our species has? And if you can answer that question, why are you not trying to solve it and are being a troll on the internet instead? I know this post itself reads like a flame, but honestly, I worry whenever I see people whose main purpose here is to dampen the ideas (or opinions) of others.
Back in the old days of web development in 1999 there was a great app called Adobe Pagemill for making changes across thousands of HTML pages. It was great.

These days you can do the same thing with about 5 lines of Python.
At least they acknowledged that exploiting this requires physical access to the key, expensive equipment, etc. and on balance is not so realistic for most people that they should stop using the key.
I didn't realize that this would end up the single most cited comment (measured on a pretty small scale) of my career when I wrote it.

But frankly, I wouldn't trade it for "You are not expected to understand this".
Those sites can be worthwhile and there's nothing necessarily scammy about the UI/UX IMHO.

The scammy part is where they push you into a nearly impossible to cancel subscription with promotional pricing as a way of "saving" vs an expensive one-time payment for one report.

The loading bar UI/UX correctly gives the impression that the report will be thorough. In my experience, they are quite good. So that's just fine.
I want to build a simple blog with HTML + CSS, but I also need to have reader comments any suggestions?
Oh, I know what to do ! Let's add an XSL that would just applies those changes without modifying the original HTML ! We can even version those XSL to reflect change history ! eg. update.01.xsl, update.02.xsl, etc.
Engineers tend to look at technical, rather than business, considerations first.

Psychology is really interesting. "half a decade away" sounds like a really long time, but "5 years away" sounds much shorter.

That is what I took from their blog as well. For some reason I thought the original intent of ESNI was to do some type of opportunistic or self signed handshake for the (E)SNI portion to hide the requested name, then validate the actual site certificate. They must have run into a problem.
May be the way mathematicians notate is frankly ambiguous and confusing, and recent decades of programming experience have given good insight into more expressive methods of notation.
I was just trying to say that it need not say much about the newspaper when some articles are good and some are bad, because they employ many writers (anonymously, of course).

So perhaps saying that there is a decline in quality is over-analyzing it...
I think it depends on the kind of lightbulb, but I would be especially careful with eco(?) energy saving light bulbs

From http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-506347/An-ene...

Energy-saving light bulbs are so dangerous that everyone must leave the room for at least 15 minutes if one falls to the floor and breaks, a Government department warned yesterday.
The startling alert came as health experts also warned that toxic
mercury inside the bulbs can aggravate a range of problems including migraines and dizziness.
And a leading dermatologist said tens of thousands of people with skin complaints will find it hard to tolerate being near the bulbs as they cause
conditions such as eczema to flare up.
The Department for Environment warned shards of glass from broken bulbs should not be vacuumed up but instead swept away by someone wearing rubber gloves to protect them from the bulb's mercury content.
In addition, it said care should be taken not to inhale any dust and the broken pieces should be put in a sealed plastic bag for disposal at a council dump – not a normal household bin.
None of this advice, however, is printed on the packaging the new-style bulbs are sold in. There are also worries over how the bulbs will be disposed of.
> There are several politicians and media outlets who are truthful and backing their claims with evidence (and retracting statements found to be untrue)

I feel like retracting untrue statements, while good, isn't as effective of a reconciliation process as it used to be. As an example, I remember early days of the Trump presidency, the Washington Post ran an article about Russia having hacked the US Electrical grid in Vermont. It turns out later that the story was totally overblown, and basically there was one compromised computer that wasn't connected to the grid. In the old days of newspaper, my parents would sit around reading every page, and if there was a retraction or alteration, it would be published in and seen. However that isn't how it works anymore. People don't sit around leafing through the Washington Post website anymore (and even if they did I have no idea if they publicize modifications to old articles), they get them sprayed via the firehose of social media. The only reason my parents know the Vermont Electrical Grid wasn't compromised by Russia is because we read two different versions of the same article and discussed it at the dinner table, having a rather noisy argument about what the article said.

I really don't know what the answer is, but I don't find plain retraction sufficient anymore, unless they're really, really publicizing them, which no one does.
*The narrative around bitcoin has always been "It is digital currency. It works like gold".*

I don't think we need to get into whether or not gold is a currency or a commodity but you are fooling yourself if you think that the price of gold is driven by jewelers and PCB fabs.
It's quite a leap unless you have worked extensively with doctors before and seen the behavior first hand too many times to count.

I get why it happens: they have to deal directly with patients who 99% of the time are not research capable and if they claim to be research capable what they really mean is that they've been sharing conspiracy theories on facebook. Doctors build defense mechanisms against the nonsense (authoritative tone, dismissive attitude) that grate on academic sensibilities. They can be slow to come around but eventually they usually do.
You have repeatedly made this claim and have yet to provide even the thinnest shred of evidence. Please supply some or stop making these unfounded assertions.
