I don't follow the point you're trying to make. What I'm referring to is how JavaScript's object orientedness, which relies heavily on references, doesn't play very well with immutable values.

The only way to really eschew mutability is to ditch the concept of objects representing a state and a set of methods that mutate its state (which maintain encapsulation and enforce separation of concerns). Unless you decide to make all your prototype methods return new instances of the constructor upon mutation, which would be both inefficient and prone to error.
It sounds too good to me. How will they make money in the Ethernet switching sector?
The reason people perceive diesels to be better is that they have much flatter torque vs RPM curves, so any schmuck can make them accelerate without shifting to the correct gear. If diesel engines gave better performance at the same amount of horsepowers, and used less fuel, why don't we see diesel engines used in horsepower-limited racing car classes? Why has Ferrari and Lamborghini not ever offered a single diesel engine?
Too late. This would fracture Android's identity. As the networks currently pay a subsidy they're effectively Android's customers, at least in part. They like the bloatware.

The device manufacturers are able to embed their brand's identity into the device. They're members of OHA and they like "needless recreated basic features."
Hey-o just signed up thanks for the advice.

No, because a large percentage of people are jerks.
Obviously we need to jail all of the people who fraudulently accepted loans they knew they couldn't pay back. Obviously.
I would prefer to be able to explicitly set a pseudoynmous profile (name, profile picture, etc) in groups that we join (e.g., gaming groups, where FB is Super Awesome for out-of-game collaboration, but where not everyone needs to be able to see my profile picture or name).

On the one hand, one might say that this is using FB counter to its intentions ... but on the other, it seems clear that the ubiquity of FB chat, the excellence of many other things (shared discussion, etc), and the general stickiness that the platform has indicate that they want you to use it for as much as possible.

I'd love it if people who feel they are in danger can join communities, or even comment on things freely. I'd probably be happy even if such pseudonymous accounts were flagged visibly. As it is, many of my real-life friends in the SCA or in gaming groups __already__ create dual FB accounts (one for Real Them, one for their SCA or gaming persona), and it doesn't really inhibit trusted interactions with them. I'm fortunate not to feel I __need__ one, but I'd love to have my comments on some things (gaming forums, etc) be more in-character and less tied to my public persona.

At the same time, having real names hasn't seemed to reduce the abusive behavior that one sees (e.g. any political post, or Youtube comments) noticeably, because strangers are effectively anonymous.
As mentioned above, this case involves ignorance of the action, not ignorance of the law.
What I don't get is why Facebook's users don't just disengage. Instead, Facebook is treated as some basic human right. Here, with some vague "responsibilities akin to a utility, but not quite that far". I mean, that really sounds kind of, well, made up. Who's defining these responsibilities?

In fact, Facebook is not a public utility, but a private company. And, unlike with a public utility, the public to which they are supposedly responsible aren't even their customers, but are their product.

This is not to defend them, and I'm not a Facebook fan. In fact, quite the contrary. I believe Facebook's entire model is based on the routine abuse of its users. That's all the more reason I can't understand why people who are uncomfortable don't just...stop.
That conclusion is not justified. Advertisers continue to pay a lot more for print. Nobody is willing to spend much for online advertising. So profits can still be higher for the print version. Indeed, that is the whole problem that the newspaper/magazine industry is facing.
> I know several people online by pseudonyms only.

Facebook is explicitly designed to primarily be a platform for "real world" relationships, not digital connections with strangers. There are plenty of other places on the web to talk to strangers.

> I know another Richard that goes by Greg.

Then that's the name he can and should use on Facebook. Facebook's policy is not that you have to use your legal name. It's that you should use the name you go by in everyday life, not a pseudonym you invented for online publishing.
>There are plenty of ways that upper management can stay in the dark. In the case of Deepwater Horizon, BP didn't make the decisions that lead to the blowout, but created excessive pressure for cost-cutting. In the case of Barings Bank, the managers were genuinely unaware of the rogue trader's fraud, but allowed him to bypass internal controls.

I read this as an exec saying: "Just get it done. I don't care how it's done, and I don't want to know how it's done, just do it."

May have watched too many movies, but whatever is more plausible is usually correct.
Do you trust facebook to respect all those settings in the future, or are they likely to implement a change to the system that defaults everything open? What about selling it to advertisers and other organisations?

I'm quite comfortable with the pseudonyms of my friends. Some of them are known by pseudonyms IRL, and one or two have names that don't match their ID but are the name they use in life and at work. More women than men; pseudonymity is a useful defence against ubiquitous harrasment.
Ok, then I was misinformed on Ross's case, if he was convicted for the murder conspiracy. I don't know first-hand what happened in his case. I do know first-hand what happened in my case (and in many of cases of friends) where the US Attorney (the prosecutor) misled the court or outright lied, or had a witness lie, to get the defendant a higher sentence. They do it so routinely that it casts doubt on all cases now (for me, at least).
This is how I also use the control key, using the bone in my hand right where the pinky attaches to the hand. When ctrl is in the very corner, it's easy to press. When it's to the right of the fn (like on the apple keyboard I am currently using), it is significantly harder.
The poster said he supports a culture of personal abuse to produce positive outcomes. Downvotes should be least he gets.
I really liked Alan Kay's talk from 2015: The Power of Simplicity https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdSD07U5uBs
A big missing piece in this conversation is the fact that there's essentially two ways to save on a national multi-decade scale: either you have easy to exploit oil reserves that you save for later, or you convince the next generation to build stuff for you later in exchange for things now.

That's the fundamental driving force behind a lot of insane pro-debt policies, especially student loans and mortgages. If you want the college situation to get better, attacking the idea of retirement is the way to go. That, and suing places like fire departments that require a college degree for no relevant reason.
You ask the right questions. The documentary "Why We Fight"[1] attempts to answer them. It's a fascinating look into the military–industrial complex and its 50-year involvement with US wars.

You misunderstand me. My apologies for not explaining properly. I'm not saying people are entitled to Facebook; I'm saying if users use Facebook, regulations should be in place to dictate to Facebook how those users should be treated.

Corporations will take as much as they can, which is why regulations exist.
From the linked documents, straight from the judge as sentencing adjustments:

Ulbricht's directed violence here is and
relates to the murders for hire which he is alleged to
have commissioned and paid for. The Court must
determine whether these allegations have been
demonstrated by a preponderance of the evidence and I
find that there is ample and unambiguous evidence that
Ulbricht commissioned five murders as part of his
efforts to protect his criminal enterprise and that he paid
for these murders. There is no evidence that he was
role-playing.

The Court finds that the evidence is clear and
unambiguous and it far exceeds the necessary
preponderance findings, that Ulbricht believed he was
paying for murders of those he wanted eliminated, and
that he believed they had in fact been murdered.

Yes I tend to avoid "fascist", even when it is technically appropriate, because people tune out.

I assume this TV caricature you referenced is seen as annoying and is generally ignored, rather than someone who is getting in physical fights all the time for offending people? To me that sounds hyper-benign, not inflammatory.
It's just like the usual IOS or JunOS. It's just open source, thats the only new thing I suppose. This has nothing to do with SDN.
> I'm not sure I fully understand your proposal, but it actually sounds a lot like my opinion. It's not that I think Facebook profiles should be required to use their official legal name, just that they should use the name they use offline. Is that what you meant by verification?

Yes.

Senior network/routing/noc staff at the top 5-10 backbones mostly. They move most/all bits at some points. For 2014 that was Level 3, Telia Sonera, Cogent, GTT, Tata, Verizon, Sprint and a few others.

One or more of these networks likely provides transit to the errand AS or the errand AS' upstream and they can lean on them pretty hard. Doing so will be in full compliance to whatever transit agreement exists between them as well. No need to be big brother about it, it's plain self-interest. They have SLAs to meet.
It's more about tenancy from what I understand. You can give unlimited people access to their own private, encrypted virtual 10.0.0.0/8 block all in the same data center and SDN makes that possible by encapsulating packets in another layer.

One area where a lot of smarts are needed needed, for example, is making sure that you're intelligently routing encrypted packets to the right machines without reverting to a broadcast to every router, switch, and machine in the DC.

I've also heard a lot about people running brand new untested protocols (like TCP replacements) right alongside traditional protocols through SDN.

I'm probably going to do a much worse job of explaining things than the guys who presented at the Open Networking Summit [1]. I highly recommend giving the keynotes a listen.

Edit: I do think this relates to SDN more than a traditional router/switch OS, based on the comments about "traditional and programmatic, declarative control plane." Either way, though, the link above is definitely good stuff.

Out of curiosity, why does PHP use backslashes in throwable names?
I just don't get why, of all the OO systems out there to inspire an engineer, the PHP people picked Java.
I think both of you deserve upvotes for presenting arguments from two sides in a civil manner.

Personally, I'm ambivalent towards the issue - on the one hand I really like the idea behind Facebook reflecting your real-life social graph, and I do fancy the ability to find someone by their real name. On the other hand, I had a fake account created for my IRC bot with personality that I meant to use both for fun and to optimize communication for a community, and I got really sad when that account got killed over Real Name Policy.
Read the docket (posted up thread), but generally shareholders are debtors-in-possesion meaning they are "owed" a fraction of the company if they sold their shares. Everyone who has a share of American Apparel is listed on that docket as a creditor.

As for board seats, I can't say. I've watched a couple of large companies restructure fairly closely but don't recall board seats being offered as part of that. Certainly at the point of being in Chapter 11 bankruptcy you're no longer the company you once were, one option is always to liquidate and move to Chapter 7 to disperse the assets. We had a customer company do that (one of the baby telephone companies) in the dot com bust when I was at Tut/FreeGate. As I recall from that transaction we got a check for around $3,000 for what had been something like $1.2M worth of networking gear they had deployed and not yet paid for.
> Bitcoin solves none of this, btw - you still want to make sure whatever micropayment scheme you use doesn't hand over your Bitcoin to a fraudster.

Such scheme being HTTPS? Unless you are speaking about "stolen content" which basically boils down to the fact that copy costs nothing and nothing in the world will solve this.
I think the judges point was that someone responsible would not recommend MDMA in these circumstances, rather than tell the other party to try and juggle their prescription medication and drug usage.
Yep, I have it, thanks.
> What I don't get is why Facebook's customers don't just disengage.

Convincing all your friends and family to switch sites is not easy. Social networks provide quite a lot of lock-in. And while alternatives exist, they don't have the momentum, the audience, or the lack of friction.

Replacing Facebook is not primarily a technical challenge.
The little trailer park for employees sounds like it would make a great set for a TV sitcom. Instead of meeting up at Central Perk they can sit on their individual tiny house porches and talk to each other.

These scapegoats are old dudes; they might really be the right scapegoats (as opposed to the a couple of junior or mid-level coders, one might expect).
An actual doctor would say: "Dont do MDMA. Don't get off your anti-depressants."
I use Spotfire regularly, and it's a pretty good tool. I highly suggest getting professional training, though, because our team didn't and it just took FOREVER for everyone to get in the swing of things.

It's really good for allowing your end users to explore data - it just requires a lot of development time to make really usable (ie: to make it more than "just a dashboard").

It has been built with R in mind from day 1. They have their own "Tibco Enterprise Runtime for R (TERR)" which I don't get to play around with much, but it's an obvious place to start for advanced predictive stuff, machine learning, and general data manipulation. Using the "RinR" package, you can pretty much do anything that R can.

My only absolute HATE with it is the LACK OF FREE SUPPORT/Community. Even though they have a nice "tibbr" (Facebook for businesses, basically) especially for Spotfire support, it's all behind a login wall, so it's not indexed by Google at all and it's not very searchable in my experience. In my opinion, this is a fatal mistake with their entire solution. Forums are amazing. Forum posts stay around forever. Very rarely do you want "the newest" forum post. You usually want a SPECIFIC forum post - making tibbr an awful user experience for support.

Additionally, their OLD forum/community IS indexed by Google, so you'll end up at dead-ends (404s with the exact information you want, conveniently highlighted in Google just before the answer is presented). Only a few people have blogged about it in the past, and even those are usually old versions. Also, basically no one talks about it on StackExchange. So, I just find it really hard to find answers to specific questions - like you might naturally do when programming to get a problem fixed quickly.

That said, it's super flexible and might be worth a look. I have very limited experience with Tableau and Power BI, but those lacked some of the convenience features I was used to when I used them. Personally, I wish I were forced to just program all my data visualizations in R or Python, haha.
I can't possibly blame you. You were also sentenced during a period of hysteria about computer crime. It must have sucked a lot.

I might be biased, since ToneLoc is what got me started programming.
OpenVSwitch is a component in OpenSwitch. E.g. OpenSwitch uses OVSDB as its pub/sub configuration store, and also for other state. Other free software / open-source network projects like Quagga have been modified to take their config from that, and store their state to it. Tools like the CLI, the WebUI and REST API then can build on that OVSDB store.

Essentially, one of the aims of OpenSwitch is to build a cohesive API around a wide set of Linux networking tools and daemons, and build a broad community to make it happen.
FYI, to get to the System UI Tuner section mentioned:

- if you have animations disabled in Developer Settings, re-enable them

- Reboot

- Pull down the quick settings toggles, long-press the gear/settings icon at top right. It should spin and then tell you UI Tuner is enabled

- You can then find it in Settings, and can re-disable animations

I had animations disabled and it took me forever to figure out why I couldn't get it to work.
Don't be naive. If you circumvent DRM or protection, i.e jailbreak your phone. Then you share it with the world on your website, because you believe in user's freedom.

Well, you're screwed if you have ads on your site. Imagine, your site get's popular. You make lots of money from google ads. Ooops, you did it for financial gain. Try proving you didn't.
> I'm saying if users use Facebook, regulations should be in place to dictate to Facebook how those users should be treated.

As much as I hate what Facebook is doing, I don't think this is anywhere near the right answer. Besides, do you really think governments want to see less information collected, when having that information makes it so convenient for them to obtain?
Most people work for companies for reasons which have nothing to do with "social solidarity", so no, it's not true of any organization.
I should start keeping track of the services for developers I hear about for the first time when they declare the end.

It's now easier than ever for the political party in power to spy on the opposition. Imagine what Nixon would do if he had the NSA surveillance powers that are available to the current President.

You can look at other fields like classical music to predict what will happen. They have very high quality content, but the public isn't interested in it. As such, many orchestras are going bankrupt and closing down. It's unfortunate for those of us who like listening to or playing classical music, but that's just life.

There are other high quality music outlets for people to choose and they are choosing them instead. C'est la vie. The same could happen to writing on the web, or something else could happen. You don't know until you run the experiment. But it is possible that people will not be interested enough to either put up with ads or pay per view (in whatever form) for readable content on the web.
> Then that's the name he can and should use on Facebook. Facebook's policy is not that you have to use your legal name. It's that you should use the name you go by in everyday life, not a pseudonym you invented for online publishing.

Your statement contradicts Facebook's actual policies in practice, which in many cases attempt to mandate the use of a name backed by government-issued ID.
"The web is not 'one and done.' "

You misunderstand what was written. ChuckMcM was suggesting that most people only read an article once. Even if they frequently go back to the same website, they don't re-read articles that they've read from 5 years ago. That makes the economics different than buying a book or a magazine. People do save magazines. My dad saved all issues of Scientific American from 1949 to 2009, and when I was a kid I would read through old issues to get a sense of how science developed during the decades before I was born. Nobody does that with web articles. So the economics are different. You can become the owner of a magazine, but trying to claim ownership of a digital article is a subject of endless debates regarding copyright law.

As ChuckMcM said, the web is 99.999% "one and done". People read articles once and never go back. They don't want to pay for things, the way they might pay for things where they are actually gaining something on a permanent basis.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Taylor_(Liberian_polit...

"After the official end of the civil war in 1996, Taylor ran for president in the 1997 general election. He famously campaigned on the slogan "He killed my ma, he killed my pa, but I will vote for him."[22] The elections were overseen by the United Nations' peacekeeping mission, United Nations Observer Mission in Liberia, along with a contingent from the Economic Community of West African States.[23] Taylor won the election in a landslide, garnering 75 percent of the vote. Although the election was widely reckoned as free and fair by international observers, Taylor had a huge advantage going into the election. He'd already taken over the former state radio station, which referred to him as "His Excellency." Additionally, there was widespread fear that Taylor would resume the war if he lost."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pablo_Escobar#La_Catedral_pris...

"Escobar was allegedly responsible for the 1989 murder of Colombian presidential candidate Luis Carlos Galán, one of three assassinated candidates who were all competing in the same election, as well as the bombing of Avianca Flight 203 and the DAS Building bombing in Bogotá in 1989. "

...

"After declaring an end to a series of previous violent acts meant to pressure authorities and public opinion, Escobar surrendered to Colombian authorities in 1991. He was confined in what became his own luxurious private prison, La Catedral. Before Escobar gave himself up, the extradition of Colombian citizens had been prohibited by the newly approved Colombian Constitution of 1991. That was controversial, as it was suspected that Escobar or other drug lords had influenced members of the Constituent Assembly."
That's an interesting idea. You have a good point: Facebook has developed a really powerful and sticky social platform. While they explicitly want the primary experience on that platform to be around real world communications, there's no fundamental reason that the technology couldn't simultaneously be used for digital communities.

I feel strongly that the communities shouldn't overlap (I do not want to see pseudonyms in my comment threads), but the idea of a parallel Facebook where alternative profiles can interact with alternative profiles is interesting.
Yes, I should just get a job – but that is long-term more work, and still does not fix the issue of wanting to run FLOSS.
