Note, this is something I've been part of the fight against since the early '70s.

To my knowledge, they scavenged flash powder etc. from fireworks, although of course they could have bought smokeless powder. Although that would very likely have looked a lot more suspicious or left a clear trail to them if by mail order, not that they were at all good at OPSEC.

Ah, no other country in the world has a gun culture quite like ours, I suspect our hobby of reloading is unique. So I'll bet the on-line recipes for these pressure cooker bombs depend on fireworks, which are a nearly universal thing, and the brothers didn't think of/wanted to take a chance on substituting a smokeless powder.

Not that it matters for a POS like Lautenberg, but it's also the case that anyone thinking such an event would result in real action against reloaders---almost certainly a minority of gun owners---is not well connected to reality.

Not that this government didn't attempt a deadly conspiracy with this aim like Fast and Furious, or hasn't in the past with a much higher body count, Waco, but this doesn't seem to be one. If it was, why not e.g. have someone use an "assault weapon" against a crowd attending an event in a stadium (which is the beginning plot of a novel I've heard about).
Yes, bitswap is the same basic idea as bittorrent.

Clearly humanity benefits much more from SpaceX than from the 26 local residents. And yet it is their right to live there without restrictions and control. Why was SpaceX allowed to introduce dangerous elements( rockets that explode, chemicals ) to the vicinity of a residential area, especially since the area was there first? It doesn't seem moral and I wonder how many laws were broken( read: circumvented and bought ) in the process.

If I remember correctly, SpaceX lobbied for a law that would allow a temporary closure of the Boca Chica beach, and got it.

Configuring redundancy with GLBP
Downside of pass is that the filenames are in the open. Thus, metadata (which sites you have account on) is not secured. Linked one seems to store everything in a single encrypted file.

Upside is that it has ton of implementations readily available - browser integration, mobile apps, etc. Linked one (passbox) is just a bash script at the moment, if one wants to use it across multiple devices and platforms, the experience may be quite rough.

Another upside is that with a single file model you have to invent your own conflict resolution scheme. For pass, git just does the trick. And this one doesn't seem to have anything in this regard.
The whole last part (the tree) was great.

I had a play with 'pass' before but i wasn't keen on the way it splits the entries up into separate files which was one of the drivers for putting passbox together.

Part of school is to orient our youth to society. You start school early in the day and later in life the young adults will be able to show up for the start of work easier.

While 11am seems extreme I think having the start like 9 or so might be better, but, then again we have the coordination of getting kids to school and you to work in the same time frame then.
While I agree with your general point, it's nature as well as nurture.

My first child who was (and is) a natural-born monkey whose idea of a good time at 18 months was leaping off a high platform to shimmy down a fireman's pole. Then we had our second child, who if anything had more freedom, more exposure to age-inappropriate toys/environments, and less supervision than our first (can't watch two kids as closely as one!)... and he'll fall off anything he tries to climb. And no, it's not a medical issue or anything, they're just not wired the same way.
This sounded like many of the bitcoin projects, specially filecoin and upon reading further I came to know it is by the same guys.

Similar projects have been in development for past few years such as https://github.com/feross/webtorrent and zeronet

This has same problems as the bitcoin infrastructure though:

1. It is unscalable. A page built on IPFS receiving huge inflow of comments would generate many diffs quickly and as soon as they spread in the network they get outdated, thereby clogging space on people's disks but more importantly clogging the bandwidth where nodes compete to download the quickly changing diffs.

2. This is not completely decentralised because it uses bittorrent trackers to identify the nodes in the network. Taking down the the trackers would take down the system as well.

Webtorrent is an already working, fast, alternative to IPFS but still centralised. Think of it this way, can you do a pure peer-to-peer webrtc site without needing a ICE/TURN/STUN server? Peer discovery is the centralised part of the problem.
I love IPFS, the team has done an amazing job with the implementation. As much as i love it though, i can't help but feel https://morph.is/ 's technology of a Targetted Block is required for the web. I know that is outside of IPFS' specific scope, but is that something any of the IPFS/IPNS/IPN developers are thinking of?

Being able to push data to a target seems to be a tool that will empower real change - not just solve a technical problem (HTTP failings).

Thoughts?
More than 100 airlines worldwide are using Amadeus (amadeus.com) today. There are different components to it such as Amadeus altea inventory (for managing their flight inventory, prices etc), altea reservation and altea DCS (for check-in and boarding). Additionally there are products to manage their websites (such as the e-commerce solution of Amadeus), revenue management systems etc.
The main competitors are sabre (as mentioned) but also HP, Accenture, SITA and others are providing solutions in the same field.

It's a pretty mature industry and btw one of the first ones to move to the cloud.

Microsoft deserves most of the criticism it has received over the years, but in this case it deserves a pat on the back.

It is not easy to stand up to the US government. Many smaller firms do not have the clout nor the funds to do so.

In making this stand, it will hopefully set a legal precedent, to make sure that the USG abide by the rules of international law.

Yes - the R GC manages R objects allocated by the R interpreter, and conversely the Haskell GC manages Haskell objects allocated by the Haskell runtime.
The C64 wasn't the best platform for running a GUI, and GEOS required a great deal of patience. I eventually went back to non-GEOS tools for most things (Word Writer 4, yay). GEOS was nonetheless an impressive technical accomplishment. It was amazing to see the sophistication delta between software from the early days of C64 (e.g., those educational programs ported from PET) to what was available towards the end on the exact same hardware.
I've been teaching myself Template Haskell recently, and found https://ocharles.org.uk/blog/guest-posts/2014-12-22-template... to be a really understandable explanation. It specifically doesn't cover quasiquotation, but it has many links to things which do.

Scientists who see a connection between faith and science will see that as science

Only if such a connection is documentable, predictable, hypothesizable, and reproduceable. Calling anything else "science" is diluting the word.

You should give Haskell another shot. Since last you tried, this happened: https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack. In fact using stack is the recommended installation method for HaskellR, rather than using the cabal-install command.
Yeah correct - flight planning, crew is managed by Sabre FPM and Crew Manager (afaik). ACARS are managed through FPM , HERMES and some strange interface for the old mainframes (the rest of the comm is going through this). The rest is mostly SAAS, but in the RDP sense. I can assure you, its definitely not "Cloud", but Remote Desktop Computing. SAS also has multiple small airlines (local) attached to it, some of them are using their own stuff, but most of it is central.

This is by far one of the most stale industries as yarper mentioned. Really long sales cycles heavily relying on connections and also large implementation/customization fees are part of it. Esp. in flight planning - where 0.1% fuel savings are important, things haven't moved anywhere.
Science only has bearing on testable, repeatable hypotheses. History, for example, isn't science even though it tries to deal in objective truth. "Testable predictions" aren't everything.

To understand Apple today you have to look to the past. Apple ended up being stuck with Motorola's inablity to deliver faster PowerPC chips. Whole product lines were delayed, or not possible. Effectively they gave control on when they could ship new product to a third party.

10 years later they are now in the same position with Intel. If Intel delays the next version of its product line by six months then Apple has to put things on hold. This is bad for a company like Apple as it could cause them to miss out on potentially lucrative periods (back to School, the Holiday season etc).

Ultimately I suspect in the very near term we will see Apple move off Intel, first for the laptops. LLVM IR would fit this strategy better than fat binaries as Apple would not have to wait until developers recompile. They can have the entire App Store available on day 1 of a product release.
I couldn't spare time to learn some basics of machine learning. This is awesome to understand general idea.
Not particlarly; in fact, apple has basically done this exact thing twice in the past (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_68k_emulator), (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosetta_(software).

But I believe we're (hypothetically) talking about ARM, not x86, code.
Scientists still talk about food, art, ethics, and so on. They just avoid talking about religion.
I suspect that for organisations like Microsoft and Apple it's about profitability. If they can't protect their non-US clients' data they stand to lose those clients. That loss must surely be greater than the legal cost of "standing up to the US government".

If you trust the box.

That said, if you have a secure trusted machine with FDE that you don't let strangers touch, and where every piece of software is well-isolated (for example, web browser is sandboxed and can't access the ~/.password-store/), then yeah, filesystem permissions will do the trick.

But, for example, if you sync using git repo hosted on some third-party VPS then directory permissions won't protect you from that host owner or whoever gains superuser access to the filesystem.

That's all you can do; the rest is up to everyone else, but you can't just read the front page and complain that the stuff you want to read isn't there without spending time up-voting new submissions.
Either something's missing from the report of Vogl's argument, or she's trying to do something purely destructive in shutting down the startup offices. This seems to be the entirety of her case:

- They think we're poor.

- They commute to work instead of living in the office.

- They're untrustworthy because they're outsiders.

People forget though, web designers didn't start using Flash to replace the web for kicks - HTML sucked pretty hard as a visual medium in those days. Just getting a page to lay out similarly across NS/IE/mac/PC was a serious challenge, let alone getting the text to show up at the same size or in the same font, or scripts to run the same way, or having any kind of interactivity.

Obviously HTML has always been the best medium for marked-up text, but for pages whose value came from interactivity or design, Flash was simply a better medium for a long time - its entire heyday plus 1-2 years beyond, IMO.
If new construction is allowed though, the people parking money will encourage more development. You can always add another 5 floors to the top of the building which nobody lives in like they do in NYC.
The Time of Kings – Explained
All corporations have a primary responsibility to benefit their shareholders. That they can combine it with a noble cause is an added bonus.

Quite honestly, I don't think they would lose that many clients. The USG has been trampling over the rights of non-US citizens for years. Snowden's leaks showed just how bad that is. The truth is that the vast majority of those people don't care enough to do anything about it.

Even people who do care (and are technologically minded) still have their Gmail, Yahoo and Hotmail email accounts and online file storage. The effort required to change is greater than the threat to their privacy.

That will not change until the loss of their privacy actually has a visible and impactful effect upon those people. I.e. people start being persecuted by the government for their beliefs or actions in private.

Modern western government's are too smart for that though. Those kind of non-subtle sledgehammer tactics don't work in a society where bad publicity can't be controlled. As an example, see the UK government's U-turn on immigration policy after the public's reaction to a photo of a two year old drowned immigrants's child on a Greek beach laying face down in the waves.
Often what is slow in an R program is not the core analysis function you want to call, but everything you have to do before and after you call that function, IE turning your raw data into a data structure containing the relevant data to feed into the function and taking the output of the function and munging it into whatever output format you actually need. This should help speed up those bits quite a lot.
> I have found Haskell very difficult to use with Cabal and its package management. The reason I went to Haskell was to teach myself functional programming. After struggling and going through 2 books I still felt like I hated Haskell due to making the environment just work. I work in three different locations and to get all 5 computers to work in Haskell was a serious pain.

Package management is certainly the worst thing about Haskell at the moment. Just yesterday I had to fight with cabal, and sit through hours of compilation, to build my application with profiling enabled :(

There's recently been a surge of activity in this area though, which seems to have been driven by FPComplete and consulting with industry:

- First there's "Stackage", which is basically a curated version of the package repository Hackage. Anyone can upload a new package to Hackage, and package authors can make breaking changes whenever they like. Stackage takes consistent snapshots of Hackage, where the package versions are known to work together.

- Next there's "Stack", which is an alternative UI for Cabal (ie. it replaces the commandline tools, but uses the same libraries and infrastructure). Nice features of stack are that it can fetch/install GHC (so "bootstrapping" is much easier), and it doesn't use a global package database (cabal has this feature with "sandboxes", but they're opt-in).

- Personally, I use Nix for managing Haskell packages. It's a bit like stack or cabal sandboxes taken to the extreme, although its Windows support is still pretty experimental. It will fetch pre-built packages from a cache, rather than building stuff locally (as long as you're using the defaults, at least).

Take a look at https://www.fpcomplete.com/blog/2015/06/stack-0-1-release for more info.

> This lead me to see what else is out there. It lead me to https://www.coursera.org/course/proglang which introduced me to Racket and I loved it and felt that Racket was the perfect fit for me.

Racket (and Scheme in general) is also an excellent functional programming language. Having dynamic types and macros makes it a very different beast to Haskell, so it's definitely worth learning both :)

I concur.

On principle, they could let the centralized server propagate the information that the file was updated. They could convert IPFS to a mere cache sharing system between browsers that are close by.

Hmm, I saw the "LLVM owned since ~2005". What exactly does the article mean by "owned"?

Perhaps, Apple owns it in the same way that all of us do, or perhaps the article just needs a little more work.
You might also want to take note of the browser addons for firefox[1] and chrome[2].

Those redirect requests to public gateways (http://(gateway.)ipfs.ip/ipfs/$path) to the http server of the local ipfs daemon. It fetches the content using bitswap protocol and makes it in turn available to other nodes, helping with the distribution.
