While the problems you mention are serious, the law doesn't seem to do anything to address them. It just tries to prevent the only good thing that happened here: addressing the actual abuses that happened.

Of course if a dairymen are worried about abuses coming to light and hurting their reputation, the right response would be for them to prevent those abuses in the first place, to bring them to light themselves, and to report employees who violate the rules. Nobody has access to the facility like the owner. If an undercover investigator can do it, then so can the dairyman.

Claiming to care about the animals doesn't mean much when the animals you claim to care about are being mistreated. Plenty of people who work with animals mistreat them, and that's something that needs to stop.

Any changes in employee treatment at Netflix regarding that infamous "the culture of fear"? Do you still have a very high turnover?
Long article but really a good one.
We use Perforce (since before DVCSs came along) and follow the monolithic approach with 100s of projects. We use git and mercurial when interfacing to clients' repositories and for small, local temporary repos to structure work that shouldn't clutter our main repository.

The monolithic approach works so smoothly because Perforce makes it trivial to only check out the directories we're working on. It has huge advantages when we're working on interdependent projects.

Perforce does have some historical oddities (top level directories are called "depots" and are slightly different than normal directories), but the ability to branch, merge, and check out using normal filesystem concepts is a huge usability boon.
Why Internet Explorer Won't Allow Cookies on (sub)domains with Underscores
The idea of a federal court striking down a law duly enacted by a state legislature (by more than 2/3 of each house) on the basis of the federal constitution, as happened here, would have been very disquieting to the framers.

I very much doubt that's the case: if so, they were fairly stupid. Giving federal courts the ability to strike down state laws is necessary when we have the Commerce Clause. It's about balance: kill the Commerce Clause, and you can let the states sort it out (e.g. California could say, "ok, Idaho, you want to pass a law that unjustly jails people for reporting on agricultural criminal activity... fine, go for it, but we're going to ban imports of all your goods into our state"). Keep the Clause, and you need something to check potentially-abusive state power.

Really nice project, and there's a lot to learn from it.

But I think if your choice is ruby then you are putting clean code above micro optimizations. And it often pays off.
What you're describing now is how php was in the early years. I started using it with 2.0, just after it upgraded from perl scripts. It's pretty different ~15yr later (I think it's going on 20 now). Give node some time to mature.

There's a lot more to node than express; that's like the jquery of node.js.... every one uses it, and usually not very well.

I gotta be honest, I was super stoked to see this, and was immediately thinking "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY".

But after watching the two "free" videos... I'm actually less inclined than I was before. Watched both and there's actually no "free" lesson at all. Just two infomercials about why I should learn all the beginner lessons that you're now doubt about to hook me in to. That leaves me feeling like you're being disingenuous and has me reconsider.

This is compounded by the unfortunate lack of content. I give you $9, watch the 12 videos...and then what? 1 or 2 new videos a week? This is netflix pricing for a few 5-10 minute videos each month. And when will that go up to $19? All of this adds up to make me super wary. Sorry if I sound very negative... I just went from very excited to very disappointed in a very short period of time :)

EDIT: btw... have bookmarked and will check it out again when there's more content.

You can oppose it all you like, but the people behind the project won't care one bit. The end game is a united states of Europe, with a single army, single parliament, abolition of individual state parliaments etc etc

Then when people have forgotten they'll just rename it United states of Germany. You can understand why those who don't win from a United states of Europe (Everyone apart from Germany), would associate it with Nazis.

> How long before it's impossible to work for a decent salary (which are already not that decent in France).

So, it is already impossible for the person in Ukraine to work for what you consider a decent salary.

The people above you on this scale are using politics to make sure your salary and opportunities stay low as well. You get a monopoly type of advantage here, but you can't compete fairly in other countries and in other situations, when you are a consumer.

This is a power structure that should not be something you seek to maintain. I doubt closed borders benefit you, except on a very short-term scale.
In the article only the negative effects of Neanderthal genes are discussed. Is this because genetic datasets are mostly about gene/diseases correlations, or is it because the researchers did not analyze any gene/benefits datasets?
The third option (all Neanderthal genes are bad) does not seem reasonable.
The 900MHz band is great if you can use it, since for the same power 900MHz goes substantially farther than 2.4 or worse 5GHz.

The old inverse square law is 'in a vacuum' Once you your signal is going through air, drywall, masonry, or my favorite steel re-enforced concrete, you're looking at exponents of 2.5 (just air) to 3.5 or worse. This only get more sad the high frequency you go.

> The people creating laws are still unelected.

That is, by the way, true everywhere. In Western democracies, laws are typically initiated by a government who is not elected directly but formed by the parliament, based on who has a majority or who can come up with a working coalition. The the actual text of law is created, written, by civil servants who work for the government. It is reviewed by a number of unelected parties who propose changes. Then it is approved, or not, by the parliament. You cannot really say that you'd have "elected people creating the laws".

There are exceptions, of course; most notably the process in Switzerland where direct polls actually sometimes create laws and can even change the constitution. Elsewhere, this is uncommon.
Google do business in France, and are thus subject to French laws when doing so - especially with regard to how it interacts with French citizens. Do you not think that as a state, France has some jurisdiction over how this occurs?

I absolutely agree with this, and I'm not looking forward to the near future of the internet, but it's inevitable. We will hit AOL 2.0, well a few of them. We'll have the Apple internet, the Facebook internet, the Google internet, etc. but it won't last.

The rein of aol was killed by stagnation and outside innovation, people seeing that there's more and better outside of aol, and the second round will probably die a similar death. People will start to see cool new things happening outside their silo, or get fed up with them and the silos will eventually fall. These trends seem cyclical, we go from mainframes and silos to personal computers and an open network, then back to the same mainframes, this time called the cloud, and the same silos. It's not gonna be a fun time for those of us who don't like the confines of the new internet, but the handful of us who care won't stop the inevitable.

Me, I still run an irc server because I can, because there's a million clients to choose from, and everyone can have their own interface, and the protocol is so simple a decent programmer can hash out their own in a day. Nothing has come close to it yet (xmpp was great in theory but too complex for its own good). If you want a pretty ui and emojis and images, well there's a client that can do it, if you just want text, plenty of those too.

I'll be over here riding out the inevitable with my own file sync, git server, chat server, web server, and making my internet how I want it to be, hoping that in time people will notice that you don't have to just accept your preferred silos interpretation of it.

LibreOffice under the hood: progress to 5.0
The two features of interest are "shallow clone" and "partial checkout".

Both of these features are already part of git.

A current experiment is an untracked files cache, which speeds up stuff on large repos considerably. This stuff is actively being worked on -- the git project has always valued performance.
Curse of Dimensionality refers to non-intuitive properties of data observed when working in high-dimensional space, specifically related to usability and interpretation of distances and volumes.

The "Nazi" label has been used by the communists, being their common and invisible enemy, the modern equivalent being "terrorism". For example all political opposition that they arrested, executed or deported during communism were labeled with Nazi, or the local variant. Labeling Ukraine's government as being a "puppet Nazi government" shows a clear bias to Russia, as that's were this nonsense came from.

ObjC is far from dead for me. And it will take Swift a long time (if ever) to deliver what ObjC can do.

Swift is not completely bad per se, but it's far from being as approachable as C. In C, you only need to read all the header files, then you “know everything”. In Swift, there aren't even any files with declarations you _could_ read. But then, a completely obscure language seems like a perfect fit for a walled garden.

It's interesting how we normal people discuss and debate the merits and justifications for various policies that we have no say in.

We automatically assume that our Dear Leaders are doing the same, weighing the pros and cons of whatever decisions they're making, and trying to choose wisely.

But in reality, they're just pursuing their personal gain at our expense.

For example, a free trade agreement is really simple: just "agree" to let people trade freely. Can you guess if people would like that? But politicians want their bribes and various business conglomerates want obstacles to competing with them.

Lots of people are happy with Uber's service, and lots of other ordinary people are happy to drive for them. Who benefits from Uber being banned?

Lots of people are happy using AirBnB's, and others are happy renting their apartments for extra income. Who benefits from AirBnB being banned?

See how this works? Does it look like our hallowed leaders are working in our interest?

Do you think they have a reason to? I mean, if they just get out of the way and let people produce wealth and trade freely, what's in it for them?

Links between the Italian military and secret services, Nato and far-right extremists are there. In particular, look at the spontaneous and legally-irrelevant declarations Vinciguerra made. I mean, the Italian ruling party was directly financed by Americans, who had even fixed the first round of elections (this has been historically accepted); it makes sense that they would help them stay in power in whichever means was necessary. Losing one of the most strategic countries in the Mediterranean to Moscow was simply unacceptable.

And of course, there is Ustica -- the fact that it was a NATO job is now historically accepted beyond any reasonable doubt. That's a direct killing of 81 people.

ISTM this is just the end-to-end principle taken one step farther. Instead of intelligence residing in the endpoint node, now it resides in an app running on the endpoint node.

That isn't to say that the "aol2" phenomenon doesn't pose the risks to users described in TFA. I only observe that the same factors that encourage end-to-end (flexibility, reliability, loose coupling, etc.) probably encourage "aol2" as well.
I'm not sure if it would be enough heat to keep it completely dry but from my experience running motion on a Pi B, the CPU can get up to 70degC on a 30degC day and I haven't seen it below 33degC which occurred on a -5degC night.
This is with a standard ebay Pi case, however.
Slightly offtopic: the regime in Spain was taken into discussion during the Potsdam conference with the outcome of not intervening after II WW, being the main expressed motive that Spain was neutral on the war (which is true but biased, since Franco was clearly not neutral to the Third Reich, fascism or sending prisoners to execution camps).

Stalin was pro-intervention, at least symbolically, but had cards on the issue having Franco sent volunteers to participate on the Eastern Front with the German army, Truman did not want more war on Europe and Churchill didn't want to hurt the commercial relations with Spain (to say, oranges and wine).

My gut feeling says, though, the decision was more on the line of "better an irrelevant regime in Spain that a communist ally on the west".

And http is not a plumbing protocol nowadays?

Or maybe you expect twitter to write a rfc about its api, which for obvious economic and strategic reasons they don't want to open? WhatsApp maybe? How would benefit them to have 3rd party clients they wouldn't be able to control? Or having to justify or change their protocol decisions with an rfc?

I don't understand, I'm genuinely confused, this article sounds very naïve, very delusional, so probably I am just misunderstanding it.

Studies show that increased immigration is actually good for the economy. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/aug/03/bernie-... has a bunch of sources for that.

Besides, if extremely large numbers of immigrants would be harmful, you can open up borders gradually.
It is over 40 years since I left school. The most striking thing about the programme is that that some of the children have learning difficulties. No, they're not ESN, but lack manners, so they eat / drink / chatter / giggle in class, and are astonished that this behaviour is regarded as unacceptable. Tell them the rules, and if they unable to comply, exclude them so that they don't distract others (teachers and pupils).

Still unclear: Is the guy working 8 hour days or not?

And now extra unclarity: If you are flexible and have no expectations for how many hours comprise a day, how is it possible that one could "leave early?"

If you've handwaved like this to the employee, it shouldn't come as a surprise that his definition of "no norms, flexible" might differ to yours. Give him an expectation, and maybe he'll meet it.
It may be naive, but the reality is that it wasn't that uncommon. Before WhatsApp, GTalk did support a standard protocol. Mail providers all use standard protocols. RSS used to be "the future".

On the one hand, I support open borders and immigration, but on the other hand, it's human nature to go where it's easier to live instead of trying to better your current place of residence.

Without borders, people will just flock from one place to another, destabilizing and draining the cities of resources until other places become more desirable, and when that happens, they'll just move to other, better places.

It's very much like all the nomadic tribes of old (incl. North American Indians), and the gypsies today, only the world is overcrowded and we can't maintain a progressing, stable civilization with that kind of lifestyle.

I believe education plays a key factor, people need to change their worldviews and culture to live together on Earth, and that's not gonna happen anytime soon.

Maybe if the rich would invest in infrastructure all over the world, to better everyone at the same time.

Too many times I've seen millionaires living in huge mansions while the neighborhoods around them crumble. But they won't invest in their local community because there's no ROI (They really need $24 million in their bank accounts, 1 million less would be catastrophic, right? /s), and they can always move somewhere better. This mentality is destructive...

So since some of the Greek fighters - meaning those who allied with the British against the Nazis, had communist ideals you assume that all they wanted was a violent take over and establishing communism. And based on that assumption you justify the British for (a) arming Nazi collaborators and (b) opening fire against civilians in a peaceful demonstration.

Remember twitter and the discussions when they nuked third-party clients?

And yes, messengers not working with other clients is one of the most user-unfriendly things they do and something many users consider a bug. And really only has taken off with the start of mobile messengers, before that most could be interfaced from different clients.
It might look so, but that is a wrong interpretation. There might be some friction between different parties, but all in all, the system "Merkel" is unbelievable stable, since it is carried by the blind masses, that just don't want any change and are ready for that to swallow nearly anything, this system is throwing at them.

On the other hand, it is a very bad sign for the democratic system of the this country, when now even a warning from the OSZE has arrived in this topic. I remember years, when only third- and fourth-world or Eastern Bloc countries got such warnings and in the German tv it was shown, so we Germans could smile and say, that we are better than "those".
