Oh yes, the good old "my argument is based entirely on facts, while yours is based entirely on nonsense, so they are not comparable."

Except I don't see a single fact in your original comment.

Sorry, but we're both in the same boat here. We're both making political comments while bringing in our own biases based on a lot of assumptions about how things went down. The difference is, I admit it.

I was primarily commenting on the perception that parents are having a gay old time playing hooky when they have to take time with parenting issues. Of course all people should have reasonable accommodations allowed to them whether they have kids or not.

But you have to be careful of judging "reasonable" through the eyes of single twenty-something (or any single opinionated person for that matter). In the end you may restrict yourself to young unencumbered people who can afford to live their life according to a universal office schedule. But this can be harmful when you lose out on different experience and abilities. It's not necessarily true that the person working 12 hours every day is outperforming the 8 hour a day clock puncher. If you optimize for butt-in-seat time rather than overall productivity don't be surprised when you have substandard results.
btw, I am glad it works well for you under openSUSE. You have made a excellent example for others to start using it, w/o waiting for a build for a specific platform. We will get there. We are working a build for Windows version.
"What are you doing out?"

"Walking," said Leonard Mead.

"Walking!"

"Just walking," he said simply, but his face felt cold.

"Walking, just walking, walking?"

"Yes, sir."

"Walking where? For what?"

"Walking for air. Walking to see."

"Your address!"

"Eleven South Saint James Street."

"And there is air in your house, you have an air conditioner, Mr. Mead?"

"Yes."

"And you have a viewing screen in your house to see with?"

"No."

"No?" There was a crackling quiet that in itself was an accusation.

"Are you married, Mr. Mead?"

"No."

"Not married," said the police voice behind the fiery beam, The moon was high and clear among the stars and the houses were gray and silent.

"Nobody wanted me," said Leonard Mead
with a smile.

"Don't speak unless you're spoken to!"

Leonard Mead waited in the cold night.

"Just walking, Mr. Mead?"

"Yes."

"But you haven't explained for what purpose."

Comparing "Google" to Windows isn't really a fair comparison. I'm sure all of the code that represents products that Microsoft has in the wild far exceeds 2B lines.
I think there is a lot of value from being able to link tables together in the cloud rather than offline in csv or Excel format. Maintaining data integrity, avoiding duplicate lines and join errors are the obvious potential flaws, but Zenit has been working to overcome these hurdles so the cross platform query would be very a useful time saver and malleable enough to adjust based on the specific insight you're looking for. Automatically detecting 'like' parameters such as 'time_date' and 'date' across two tables and merging them automatically (or after user verification) is one example. Then getting real time visualization of that data in an email is what Zenit is working on. For example, a super simple query such as: SELECT event, distinct_id FROM zenit_mixpanel WHERE mp_country_code = 'UK' AND platform = 'android'ORDER BY created_at could be merged with SELECT from total_logins....just one example of a merged table. Looking forward to feedback.
> You pulled a fast one there by linking to student body data and claiming admin and teachers are non-white.

What I'm claiming is it's unlikely to be blatant white on brown racism when 9 out of 10 students are non-white and 50% of the school admin panel is non-white.

The media is making this out to be some type of a racial profiling case... Where a lone brown student in a class of all whites is singled-out due to his skin color and name.
Yes, but they have introduced new practical rules for simplified user registration.

And anyway they're not as restrictive as the Germans.

Racism is the unequal distribution of privilege, and goods dependent on race. It does not deal with race distribution in a population. However seeing racism should even be more apparent when the race with power is in the minority population. A good example would be South Africa in apartheid; or the south during segregation.

But basically if this kid was white, and was named Chris(the christian equivalent of Mohamed).. He would not have been subjugated to any of this. That is privilege that is racism.
Yes, that is called a false flag. It happens and might be a lot more common than you think. Released documents even state that this is something they plan to use (at least in the digital realm) to support their agenda.

I wonder at what point everyone will finally call bullshit on all of this. The attitudes developed by their propaganda has only generated more and more animosity and hate between people. If the objective was really to protect public safety, they should just put themselves in jail and throw away the keys.

Unfortunately, there is no economic incentive for them to stop violence. The more violence that happens (even if it is an indirect byproduct of their backwards policies) only generates more fear in congress to throw more money and power in their direction. Additionally, they do not hesitate in any way to lie and misrepresent information in a way that benefits them and there is little repercussion for not doing their jobs to the utmost standard. The too big to jail mentality is more dangerous to our country than anything. Clearly this hasn't been effective and a more effective way to solve the problem would be to restrict their funding more and more for their mistakes.

This is a good thing for the survival of the company. I worked at HP and let me tell you, from what I saw, HP was the most bloated company I have ever seen. The horrible work ethic by the full time employees wasn't the exception but more the rule. I saw jsut about every employee take half day lunch breaks, and they'd hire contractors to do their work. I found it so disgusting that I exited the company. The full time employees I saw did NOTHING all day. They were basically all 25 year career employees that sat around doing NO actual work and they could get away with it because their manager and their managers manager was doing the same thing. HP is a horribly run company. Just about everyone there at least in the division I worked at was dead weight just showing up to collect a huge paycheck.
I am so happy to be in Germany. A teacher once asked me to give her my phone (we were forbidden to use phones in school), so I put it in my bag and closed it.

She instantly went to the director, who then started to discuss it with me (after 45 minutes of him shouting at me in a hallway, which had become a public attraction, he gave up), but at no point did anyone try to access my bag.

The fact that my parents studied law might have something to do with it, though, so I’m not sure if other people would have been treated the same.

The thought of an eternal life obviously raises questions about the meaning of (eternal or not) life. Nobody has the right answer to those questions. That's why I think there will always be different (but equally valid) opinions about eternal (or very long) life.

I, for one, think that immortal humans will be less like elves and more like Gollum.

As the article points out this is easy to do. I've had a virtual machine image for browsing for a while. Copy the image over the virtual disk, start it up, browse around, then exit. Next day do the same thing. Each time you copy the image is resets everything in the virtual machine and on a flash drive its pretty quick (actual disk image data is about 8GB).

I actually wasn't previously familiar with Leaflet, but when I look at it's demo's now, I generally find it's UI not quite as good as OpenSeadragon's. Another commenter below agrees with me.

It also looks like Leaflet may be focused on geographic data? OSD is not, it has no special geo features (which would be a problem if you need them), but is focused on _images_, which may end up giving it the sort of features (back-end and UI) and API suitable for people concered with high-res images as images, rather than maps. (Does Leaflet actually have facility
for dealing with multi-resolution-level tiling? I would assume so, but it's not clear from a quick skim of the docs...)

Or it could just be that there are multiple products with overlapping feature sets. I don't think OpenSeadragon is neccesarily _newer_ than Leaflet, as I think you imply.

Looks like the first commit in Leaflet repo is Aug 2010; the first commit in OpenSeadragon is Nov 2011. I imagine both took a while to reach maturity. It's also worth pointing out that OpenSeadragon is the open source continutation of an originally proprietary Microsoft product. I'd say they were both developed relatively simulataneously, neither one was developed after a mature competitor already existed.

It does seem from this thread that OpenSeadragon was news to many people who already knew about Leaflet, so I guess Leaflet is better known? A year ago when I was looking for an open JS tiling image viewer, I found OpenSeadragon, and somehow didn't even come accross leaflet!

"The two internet giants (Google and Facebook) are working on an open source version control system that anyone can use to juggle code on a massive scale. It’s based on an existing system called Mercurial. “We’re attempting to see if we can scale Mercurial to the size of the Google repository,” Potvin says, indicating that Google is working hand-in-hand with programming guru Bryan O’Sullivan and others who help oversee coding work at Facebook."

Why Mercurial instead of Git?
The code answering to your questions is mostly here https://github.com/dyne/JaroMail/tree/master/src/zlibs and here https://github.com/dyne/JaroMail/tree/master/src

Ok, it's been fun flagging your comments, but now I'm going to make a plea:

1) Please, stop posting to this thread. Surely you've noticed the color of all of your comments by now. You're not being flagged because people disagree with you; you're being flagged because of your creepy, racist, broken thought process, and your earnest attempts to talk us all through your, ummn, 'unique point of view'.

2) dang, please do something if he doesn't.

Listen, HN, you can't deny "blatant overreach of white, privileged americans in their attempts to dehumanize anyone they perceive as other, from Ferguson to Brooklyn" isn't a thing these days. No point of covering your ears and insisting everyone wants to get along.

Maybe that's because it stands for Local Area Network?

WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) are not long distance networks so it's a correct term.

A WiFi network is a WLAN but not all WLANs are WiFi networks.

WiFi is a trademark used for certified devices that adhere to the rules defined by the WiFi-Alliance consortium.

Um that's like saying the founders of Intel were a great fit for Fairchild Semiconductor because they all met there. Just because their schools created an extremely fortuitous environment for meeting cofounders does not mean that that's the reason the schools admitted them, and to suggest such is absurd. Jobs wasn't even enrolled at Reed when he took those classes, as has been well-documented.

The software runs on lowest priority. So when people are using the computer the software just sits there, not doing much. After a few minutes of inactivity the seti software (which sometimes was a screensaver) would kick in. Rather than sleeping or idling the computer would be doing computationally intensive work. Some distributed stuff (especially Prime95) is used specifically because it makes the computer work hard - it's a reliable stress test. This causes extra power to be used for the processor and the fans.

This explains quite some things.

Still, this is not a very forward-thinking solution. Building and combining microservices – effectively UNIX philosophy applied to the web – is the most effective way to make progress.

EDIT: Seems like I misunderstood the article – from the way I read it, it sounded like Google has a monolithic codebase, with heavily dependent products, deployed monolithically. As zaphar mentioned, it turns out this is just bad phrasing in the article and me misunderstanding that phrasing.

I take everything back I said and claim the opposite.

This bill is actually heavily criticized in germany, for example by the Freifunk initiative: http://freifunkstattangst.de/2015/06/16/neuer-tmg-entwurf-zu... (german)

The bill requires network operators to make "reasonable effort to secure the network against unauthorized access" and to "allow access only to users that have agreed not to violate the law during their use" of the network.

The bill also takes service providers into liability if they offer "gefahrgeeignete Dienste" (I have no idea how that accurately translates to english).

> What is this primitive thing at the end of the chain? Energy and material.

With nuclear fission power, we have a very large amount of energy available for the future. With nuclear fusion, potentially much more. As for materials, we can recycle most of them. And who's to say in the future we won't be mining asteroids?

I'm well aware that economics, in the end, is about raw materials, manpower, etc... After all, the first economic 'transactions' involved people cooperatively gathering food, building shelter, etc... (ie. you build a shelter and make a fire while I find us a rabbit to roast)

However there's nothing to say the future won't consist of a world powered by nuclear fusion (or some yet-to-be discovered method of energy production), where all labour is done by robots, where we're all given Star Trek-style 'credits' with which we pay each other to recite bad poetry.

Also keep in mind that economics didn't start with Keynes or Smith, or even Ibn Khaldun. The ancient Mesopotamians kept exhaustive records, had commodity-backed banknotes/tokens, units of precious metals (shekels), rules governing finance, and debt, etc... Modern economics isn't any different (fundamentally), we just now have more things to measure, and more abstractions to make sense of the endless complexity of a modern, global economy that has 7+ billion actors in it...

Ahmed will "get away with it in the long term" as well. He will probably be even better off after this episode. He is going to have the attention of all sorts of great people including the president.

But of course that isn't particularly the problem here. When something like this comes up and catches our attention, there is outrage until that specific situation is fixed. We all pat ourselves on the back for helping this one person and move on forgetting that nothing that allowed this situation to happen in the first place has been changed.

People want to see the problems their preferred media has taught them to be enraged about (or, has taught them is a problem the other team is irrationally concerned about).

Sometimes it's wanting to find the racial injustice that increases the sensitivity to other injustices.

While the student's race might have played a role in the punishment, I'm at least as suspicious that it has played a role in increasing media coverage of it. Of course both assessments are non-falsifiable when limited to this one specific case.

No big brand really focuses on the increasingly authortarian nature of American society, especially not in the treatment of minors. Although they'll pay lip service to it every now and again when it's useful fodder for other topics.

Radicalization of young Muslims is among the reasons why acts based on bias against young Muslims by authority figures in society is especially problematic, as those acts contribute rather directly to such radicalization, and directly serve the propaganda interests of those actively seeking such radicalization.

This would be problematic if radicalization of young Muslims wasn't a particular concern, but it doesn't become less problematic because such radicalization is a real thing, it becomes more.
