Hi guys I need of your tips and opinion because I need help.My groom is syrian,he now finished with university in Jordan and he come back now to Turkey because now this is our basic country.I have EU citizenship,and we wish live in EU because in Turkey we didnt find any job to him but we are afraid because he is syrian citizenship.How can I help him?I want to help with my EU citizenship,can he get blue card?Can he find any job in EU and can we live in EU?He has degree and valid passport and if we marry after that I hope that we can live in EU.What we can do now at this situation?Thanks for answers

A couple of points.

Boy band (and girl band) often seem to conflate the word 'band' with an entity that produces / creates / makes their own music ... with a group of people that can sing or mime to a song someone else made, without needing to play any instruments.

In 2002 there was a story about Carly Hennessy[1] (who later made at least one somewhat contentious 'comeback' on a pop TV show in the US) who'd basically been financially destroyed by a wager the music industry had placed on her at our (and her) expense.

We don't seem to be making much progress on this front.

Which is my option (1), free parking subsidized by the city.

If we wanted that now, we could nationalize all of the commercial parking systems. We instead often see the desire to find more revenue sources.

BTW, it won't be as simple as having a sign. Some areas already are free parking between given times, except during a declared snow emergency, or during hurricane evacuation. I'm not saying it can't be solved, only that it's not simple.
This was one of the best things I have read in a while. Thank you OP.
World Population comes to mind. Will it solve itself? It might but in countries where it doesnt the consequences will be devestating and flow over to other parts of the world for sure.
Four Ways to Value Your Startup
Not even that -- there are tech firms that have teams that span multiple geographic boundaries and spoken languages, and they have varying degrees of opsec (from none to excellent, with your typical bellcurve).

These firms receive contracts from Fortune 500 companies that have no interest in hiring/maintaining technical staff but have a need for apps that reach their userbase (of which numbers from hundreds of thousands to several millions across various jurisdictions).

The world of software development is growing and there are cracks appearing everywhere, a malicious individual should have no trouble accruing a healthy collection of exploitable code across various tech stacks (be it Android, iOS, server-side, or otherwise).

Proper opsec is expensive and many companies don't even bother (or are completely unaware that they could be in trouble), and that's not even touching on designing secure systems. A malicious individual could hold code for several months before deploying an exploit that reaches end-users.

Hunting sysadmins is most definitely a serious problem, but so is outsourcing.

My local town is in the process of sticking 'roundabouts' everywhere. Mayor visited someplace and liked them; he's pushing them on us now. Sometimes its just a dumb island in the middle of an intersection; you have to crank around it at microscopic speed which benefits no one.

The worst one has two lanes halfway around; one lane the rest of the way. From the south you can take the right lane and exit north without turning (much). But nobody understands the point; everybody stops and creeps around. So they put up a map(!) so you can figure it out. And 13 arrows and warning signs. All in the interest of 'efficiency'
Problem is that what you can create from scratch isn't what the companies often need. Instead they need experience in working with something already created which is quite a different monster IMO.

I'm not sure if this will be relevant or useful information, but I understand that a GSoC project added Lua to SYSLINUX. I'm not sure what the specifics of the memory access/stack structure is; the idea is to let you run Lua scripts directly in your bootloader, and it can also open an interactive REPL.

Strangely, the effort was made to get Lua functioning, but not much has been practically done with it. Stuff like VESA support was even thrown around, but the whole thing was eventually abandoned(?!).

I see so many possibilities for something like this, generally speaking... and FYI, the code does apparently work.
I was curious about whether these were local Scottish salmon on imported salmon - traditionally there was a fair amount of salmon caught at sea near to the mouths of rivers in Scotland but that has mostly stopped - partially, as far as I know, from pressure from the landowners who own fishing rights to rivers & lochs. Fishing in Scotland can be extremely expensive.

NB I am in Scotland and eat a fair bit of salmon and I wasn't aware of the "line caught" label.

Edit: And by "extremely expensive" I mean up to £10,000 a fish.

A preauth on a card reserves the credit without actually completing the transaction. The credit is still there but not available for use.

You can complete the transaction by sending a 'completion' request, at which point the credit is gone.

The preauth also has an expiry. If the preauth expires, the funds are released with no transaction taking place.

So when a user signs up, take a preauth. If you have any reporting on your sales, like this guy, you can check for any anomalies before fulfilling orders. Anything that looks odd, don't complete the order.
I am curious if this is hurt by people denying[1] the pain a solution would cause. A massive shift away from petrocarbon exploration would cause a great deal of unemployment (and consequently suicide, domestic violence, etc) in areas like Houston.

Indeed, people like me were cheering Microsoft back in that period.

I started programming in 1978, on IBM systems, and they were indeed "a brutal monopolist", probably feared more than Microsoft has ever been.

Sure, during the early-mid '90s Microsoft had sharp elbows and was looking out for its own interests, but those also just happened to coincide with ours. IBM was big, stupid and much more dangerous, UNIX(TM) was horribly fragmented (one of the core competencies I developed in the early '80s was porting software between different versions of it, and see The Unix Haters Handbook publishing in 1994: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Unix-Haters_Handbook (disclaimer, Simson is a friend)).

GNU/the FSF was doing worthwhile stuff, but was and still is hanging fire on a kernel, the BSD porting efforts had been crippled by the '92-3 AT&T lawsuit, Linux was started from scratch in 1991 and immature, while NT was developed by well funded top notch experienced people (at least back then it was very rare if not unheard of for someone to develop more than one operating system, the process was so onerous) and was a great hope for a lot of us. In the mid '90s I developed or took part in developing several very solid systems using it, and I believe it's TCO and maintainability exceeded UNIX(TM) during that period.

Unfortunately, Microsoft started fumbling the ball about 3-4 years after NT's release (on or after the first Service Pack of NT 3.5 or more likely 3.51 as I recall), NT 4 was conceptually hopeless by moving graphics into the kernel, "and the rest is history".
The problem isn't the ads themselves. It's what they do to the experience of browsing. Increase loading times, reduce responsiveness, use up metered data (important on mobile), spy on you, install malware.

There are too many bad actors out there using ads Networks for malicious things or just don't care to pay attention to the user experience. So it just makes good sense to by default turn off the features that are being misused rather than give everyone the benefit of the doubt.

The solution of using micro transactions doesn't address the issue of bad actors ruining the system for everyone else. So I think it might be killed faster than ads.

Not by a large margin.

First of all, it's not the platform. There wasn't some vulnerability found in iOS that made this possible.

It's caused by pirated infected third party XCode downloads. If you use third party Visual Studio or Eclipse/Idea for Android development, you can get the same exact issues.

Second, apps run in a sandbox in iOS anyway, so those infected apps can't do much besides giving you ads and data about their usage.

Thirds, that's like 100 apps in the list, mostly all made in China, and all by people with infected, non-official XCode.

well using this plugin there will be no ads served. So dont you think this will solve problems a lot?
For me, the problem isn't directly the ads. I started tuning them out long ago, well before the time of ad blockers. I really don't care what the ads look like.

The problems are:
- Some ads are very intrusive
- Some ads are malicious

Those are problems because the content owners are usually hands-off when it comes to displaying ads. They say things like "I can plug in this javascript from site x and I'll get paid!" Sure, you can, but if you're not curating the ads in the same way you're curating your content, something isn't going to align.

People will view content (and advertising) if it's valuable to them. Interesting, engaging, technically relevant, etc. That should apply to everything on your page, including ads.
Rihanna is an interesting one though; yes she's a mass-produced pop star, but she also has a really interesting reputation and is considered "real". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejRwLJcXjGQ -- unless you're aware of who "Charlamagne Tha God" is, the video might be a bit lost on the viewer, but it's worth watching. I find it fascinating when some of the pop stars apparently are living the lives they sing about.
Nassim Taleb’s False Dichotomy with Respect to GMOs
Exactly. I hear Latin is pretty stable these days.
Thanks for the very detailed response - very informative. The core of my argument is that we really need more of this:

> Now there are other attempts to explain some of these effects e.g. the gravitational waves from super massive black holes [...]

We just need to be looking at other options. It seems as though we are spending a lot of thinking time on one solution and it's frustration with that which likely leads me to words such as "hacks."

> Mercury

I wasn't suggesting it was the same thing, merely making an analogy: a somewhat similar type of mistake we made in the past. WIMPs could be real but they could just be the modern day Vulcan: I watched a great talk by Prof. Terry Rudolph[1] and he points out that our monkey brains have problems visualizing things smaller than "banana." Possibly our brains have problem visualizing forces bigger than "moon" and therefore we create these physical phenomena (Vulcan/WIMP) in a desperate attempt to conceptualize them.

While WIMPs may very well be the correct solution, I'd just like to see a little more energy spent exploring other solutions. Science is very much about being correct nowadays: getting published, getting the Nobel Prize, etc. I think it's far more rewarding to be wrong and science needs to briefly contemplate the philosophical roots that it was born of.

MOND is quite interesting indeed (been to a couple of Mordechai lectures about this subject), the only problem is that it can't be used to construct a functional universe under TeVeS stable stars couldn't form.

> The OPs clearly don't apply to the UK at all.

Bingo.

The actual article is about a UK agency making a statement about terrorism, and the parent commenter, danlindley, quoted a statistic implying police killings are what MI5 should be talking about instead of cyberterrorism.

You could argue that he wasn't implying MI5 should talk about police killings... but that would remove the last fragile connection between his comment and the actual topic: MI5 & terrorism.

I replied to him to point out why a UK intelligence agency would not be interested in making a statement about the topic he implied they should... that the UK has negligible incidence of police killing civilians and that even if we did MI5 would have no incentive to discuss it.

You can argue my statistics aren't perfect if you like, but to do that would be missing the point.
Everything is a Remix [Remastered]
I think it has more to do with lack of competition in the ISP market. In most places, there's only one fixed line broadband provider, so there's incentive to increase speeds (as people will pay to get better quality streaming video on multiple devices) but none to improve peering with overseas networks.
The FBI Says Retweets Are Endorsements
> Websites are able to detect most ad-blockers these days. If they like, they're welcome to deny me access to their content if they see I've blocked the ads.

The better option is to ask the user to turn off their adblocker and explain why (and say that the adverts are vetted for malware properly).
Exactly @vanderZwan, clearing the mind of garbage ads and click bait is likely as beneficial as meditating. I don't pay for content to be ad-free aside from Netflix and PandoraOne. Maybe that is due to the lack of a consistent platform across all websites. I would pay a subscription fee to have my top 20 visited websites ad-free.
>A function can obviously be defined, so what's the objection?

Ok, so list its definition in a programming language of your choice.

Utility theory applies when we define "utility" as a linear function of some number of real-valued variables inside a model of the world. For instance, if we say "utility world = sumOfMoney world", then we've defined a VNM utility function.

This doesn't mean that total hedonic utilitarianism possesses any such function, or that we've neatly uncovered any such function which accurately describes the desires of real people. It just means someone wrote down a bit of math that works well for trivial cases.

3 Ways Bad Roommates Can Ruin Your Credit
His view on advances in Computer Science in the future...

> we make a lot of progress, we are able to undertake bigger projects, we can build things which are much more interesting and sophisticated than what we could do 10 years ago. [...] But the amount of messy, intricate, awful code that doesn't work very well and that's underneath all of that has also increased enormously. In some sense I guess we'll continue to make progress, but it'll always be kind-of grimy and not-really-done yet. Because people always take on more than they can reasonably handle, they're always overreaching, and they seem never to go back and clean up the stuff that they did before.

The developers were bullied out of the team by Billy. He neglected to talk to the team (on slack and Facebook). When he finally did talk he took leadership and assumed CEO roles without the team agreeing. If there could be any fair way of doing this it would involve votes by the team (which is what Bobby basically was pushing for, albeit in an opinionated way).

The 0.4% didn't imply anyone else owned the remaining percent. It implied that if a company were agreed upon and formed by members of the team, everyone would get at least 0.4%.

I've found (prior to knowing the words found in his book) that if you ask the question: "What is your passion?", you will get a different answer (A) than if you discuss what the person thinks their top contribution could/should be (B).

That said, people do seem to become quite passionate about following their contribution, once an A/B list is put in front of them.

So, I guess I'm saying that: 1) I agree they can be quite well aligned, but 2) People sometimes need help getting there because the framing is different enough that it doesn't occur to them to think it through this way.
No mention of the Brill Building [1]? Pop music has always been factory-produced.

Your question completely avoids the points I mentioned. If bitcoin is a currency, then it is a currency. If it is something else, then it is that thing. Every part of the executive branch wants a piece of the action, so they all claim that it is something different even though these definitions clash. The power to say what and how to regulate rests solely with congress.

The passing of such a law requires justification and consensus. Nobody can agree on what bitcoin is and it is even more difficult to justify the regulation of bitcoin with anything other than "because we can".

(sidebar) If you are interested in the authority to regulate commerce, then I suggest you google something to the effect of "commerce clause abuse" and realize that the federal government uses a broad interpretation of "commerce" and "regulate" to reach the conclusion that almost everything may be regulated by them instead of individual states.

If I'm willing to pay for content, why wouldn't I just pay the content owner directly? I already pay for WSJ, NYTimes and others.

There could be an opportunity to enable content owners to more easily accept payments, but is the opportunity large enough (and the costs to the content owner low enough) to justify it?

What's the model look like for that? Are there enough content owners/creators that would pay (or revenue share) someone else to monitize their content in a more meaningful way for users? Let's say "Blogger XYZ" decides to charge $1USD per article (likely a VERY high number). Is he/she going to give up 30% to someone else to handle the payment/settlement?

Don't companies like Wordpress already have plug-ins for PayPal or Stripe to accept payments too?
