Let me clarify your position: because a. it is not a subject you care about b. it "happens quite a bit" c. in this case it helps your position which is "good" (the ivory ban) you "don't care" that the rule of law is breached?

I outright disagree with this position, which has been quite common in the US recently ("well, those CIA prisons have been happening quite a bit, and it helps the fight against terrorism anyway, plus, those are terrorists, they don't have any rights anymore. Not going to affect me anyway, I'm American, and I'm on the good side."). And you can go back to the lynch mobs of the Wild West for a more visual version.

Not wishing to be overdramatic, I did not bring up Niemoller until now, but his point stands. And of course there is the issue of flavours of patriotism (or loyalty to a cause) which is split into "my country right or wrong" vs "do the right thing no matter what". Aside from moral considerations, being in the "right or wrong" camp often backfires by providing the opposition with intellectual ammo to slow it down with.

To answer your question I care not one bit about what gets confiscated so long as it gets confiscated legally. It is good that you are fighting for the African elephants and I admire you for it. But I disagree that one has to behave above the law because of it.

It did. It's called culture. You just didn't realize all the ways it programmed your biases and perceptions.

Why?

Because it was so successful.

1. A per-website privacy mode. I don't want fb tracking me across all my private-mode tabs.

2. A separated out password store where the store prompts me for each password request and I have to allow it. The store would work with more than just browser passwords.

Hi, I must admit, that I am not totally up-to-date when it comes to C++, since I am not hopping on the newest standards as soon as they are there. And I am not actively programming in C++ currently.

But I don't think, that "auto" was specified to reduce typing. I see it more as a possibility to follow the "DRY" principle (don't repeat yourself).

There might be cases, where for example the return types of functions might change and you don't want to change every caller.

Templates are of course an other example, because the return types of templates oftentimes are depending of the input types. You of course can use those template declaration stuff, but it is very ugly and oftentimes clumsy.

I also found a nice example, where it really can help to make things more easy to read, here:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/252671/auto-c-c/12573433#...

I think, the real usages are rare, that is also the reason, it was specified rather late.

Licensing isn't designed to spur innovation, is it?
Searle pushes the implication of "Strong AI" that intelligence is independent of any particular type hardware (such as the human brain) if we have the right algorithm and implementation...e.g. that a mechanism of strings, beer cans and windmills can have the same sorts of beliefs that humans have given the right sort of "program" relative to mechanisms of strings, beer cans, and windmills.

Searle describes a mechanism, the Chinese Room, with external behaivor that we are inclined to say amounts to human thought. Yet the core operations are dependent on a human in a role analogous to a CPU, and when we look at that human, we are inclined to say that the human does not have the "right kind of thoughts" to justify our belief that the entire mechanism amounts to human thought.

In context it is a rebuttal of radical materialism (e.g. John McCarthy's argument that thermostats have beliefs) as a solution to the mind-body problem.

It's called a zIIP engine (http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/hardware/features/ziip/) and it utilizes the IFL also (http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/linux/solutions/ifl.html). We use the zIIP on our z13 basically to offload any work that takes a ton of I/O (DB2 data serves, dataset scans for performance monitoring, RMF and CICS reporting). It ends up saving a lot of money monthly because we are charged by maximum number of MSU's during any four-hour window of the month. The zIIP reduces the number of MSU's needed at any given time. In our case, 5-10.

Back in 2005, I installed SuSe on an s/390 box. If you could throw a lot of memory at it or MIPs, then it would run pretty well, and could be used as a file or email server. But anything that crunched data was horribly slow. Can't say that it's any better now, but if it's utilizing the zIIP, I'm sure it's miles above where it was 10 years ago.

Still, pretty high cost of ownership on the mainframe to get this. I can't imagine many people buying a million dollar mainframe just to run Linux. Seems like those who have a mainframe already would have been like us: let's partition out a Linux instance and try it out.
Don't store sensitive data in git, or don't store sensitive data on public github repos?
That leaves me more curious now. It contains the following:

> "Even if this is what you intend, if you publish your source code in a public repository on GitHub, you have accepted the Terms of Service which do allow other GitHub users some rights. Specifically, you allow others to view and fork your repository."

I wonder what it means, from the standpoint of using or modifying code within the copyright framework, to have this right to "fork your repository?"

This simply is not conducive to a modern team. There are better ways to ensure security while still allowing some ease of use.

Not saying that you should store private keys in not-so-private places, but if you need to access any non-critical accounts as a team, what you propose is simply not reasonable.
I don't think this is a good idea, even if the database is just listening to localhost.

Why people think computers can't (1982)
I think many equally easy avenues exist for swatting. Swatting will always happen, so the safeguards need to be in the legal system.
Great question.

- No tabs, that's the job of the window manager. I get that most window managers are too underpowered to replicate browser tabs. Stop using those window managers I guess. Note that this gets you tab isolation for free, since every "tab" is just a completely different browser process. It hardly wastes any memory, too, because of dynamic linking.

- No features. I want to be able to set the url, search, have back/forward buttons, zoom the text. That's it.

- Extensible in a Unixy way. Press a key and execute a program with some hooks to modify the browser.

So far suckless's surf browser fits the bill. I currently use surf with a patch that lats me search duckduckgo from the dmenu url field.

- Support for privacy enhancing extensions. NoScript, µBlock, PrivacyBadger, HTTPS Everywhere, etc. I'm trying to see how these could work as a component separate the browser and I'm coming up blank on how to present the UI nicely. Currently I use privoxy for this, but it's subadequate.
High-bandwidth communication channels are more effective for building relationships. It is much more difficult to build relationships when you don't have face-to-face interaction. Lack of good relationships with the people you work with will put you at risk when the team or your manager are under stress.

Something like daily phone calls will help you build those relationships. It's not as good as face time, but it's a lot better than text.
Most mashups I hear make heavy use of their component tracks, and I'm not even sure you could reasonably claim it as "sampling", much less fair use.

> I don't know Ruby or Lisp, but Python, at least, doesn't like it if you call methods on nil.

That's false. Python likes it every bit as much as if you call methods on any other object: it works fine if you wall a method which exists on the object, raises an AttributeError if you try to access an attribute which does not exist and raises a TypeError if you try to call an attribute which isn't callable.

> Smalltalk let you do that (they do nothing and return nil).

That is also false. While UndefinedObject responds to a fair number of messages (compared to NoneType anyway), sending an "unknown" message to `nil` will signal an exception as it would just about anywhere else (because it'll defer to the standard Object implementation of #doesNotUnderstand). You can redefine `UndefinedObject doesNotUnderstand` so that it does something (or does nothing and return `nil`), but that definitely isn't the default behaviour, and it isn't generally considered a good idea.

localhost in the case of Wordpress just means the database is running on the same machine as the web server. Practically every WP instance is set up that way.
Do they want these activities to stop, though, or do they just want them to be done better in some way?

Questions about privacy are tricky, because what exactly do people mean? You and I probably think that "privacy" means the government doesn't collect our info. But I've seen a lot of people defend the NSA on the basis that their strict controls mean their surveillance isn't a privacy breach in the first place.

I also don't think the question about approval of the NSA's activities is all that useful here. When people disapprove, do they disapprove because they think it shouldn't be done at all, or because they think the NSA isn't doing it properly in some way?

I think there are a lot of people who believe that broad surveillance to combat terrorism are a good thing, that if done properly would not harm privacy or civil liberties, and that the NSA's current approach is in some way less than perfect. (Note that I don't agree with any of this.)

Now, I realize I have no actual data to back this up. And while I don't trust polls to be accurate (they can be reasonably accurate about the question they're asking, but the exact wording of the question is hugely important and trying to extrapolate beyond precisely what is said is tough), I have to admit that this poll does suggest I'm wrong. But I don't think it disproves my idea.

But they want to make deals with the majors, and they already have one with Warner. Which is fine, of course, but it no longer interests me personally.

Besides, I don't think their funding will be enough to compete in that area...
