"Laurence Fish was recruited by MI5 to design hidden booby trap bombs during the war"

So Fish designed them but they are "Germans' World War Two boobytrap bombs"?

The rhetoric that I have read on the opinions is that the workers should still be paid for 40 hours. It is debatable if the loss of productivity is that pronounced, but in overall this scheme would be more expensive to all parties.

I am quite surprised someone with real skills and tendency to call bullshit what is such as Linus uses LinkedIn, it's the pits of impostors and people taking larger slices of credit than they could ever truely justify, non-sincere feedback (because who really wants to tell Bill he was useless when he asks for a LinkedIn review, especially if you need him to reciprocate), impossible to unsubscribe emails (because X email is actual different from a Y notification), and slimey recruiters/networkers that want to reach out.

Maybe, but who protects us from the consequences of the poor choices of the governments?
Just a side remark, I always wonder when reading about Taleb whether he was truly the first to discover the balance between fragility and robustness or anti-fragility. I remember some really inspiring work by John Doyle [1] at Caltech in the early 2000s on the concept of Highly Optimized Tolerance [2] and complexity and robustness [3], stating that natural and engineered networks exhibit a high tolerance towards common perturbations, yet can show catastrophic failures when encountering extremely rare events (as described by power law distributions). Never read much about Nassim Taleb's hypotheses, yet sounds similar at first. Has Taleb popularized a concept that got stuck in the unpopulated wasteland between theoretical physics and control theory?

My Lawn (2014)
Perhaps it's irrelevant, but I wonder what effects the single child policy will have in the next few decades to Chinas ascendancy. The ratio of adult males to females is going to be very lopsided. Will the excess males join the military to make up for the family life they cannot have? Will there be vast emigration to search for wives?

It's impossible to say in my opinion, but it's interesting to think about.
This isn't a new phenomenon; the Cold War was full of similar things.
One thing I think might be interesting is how the history of economic thought affects the war/peace calculus.

For much of history, people thought of wealth as a sort of zero-sum (or near) game. If one country gets richer, another will get poorer. If Athens get rich, Sparta gets poor. If Britain has colonies, France and Germany need colonies. Everyone wants to be an exporter and hoard gold.

The economic thought about this started to change around the time of David Ricardo (comparative advantage overturning mercantilism), but I would not be surprised if mainstream politicians took some time to understand this idea.

These days it's pretty clear the US and China benefit from mutual trade, and anything upsetting that would require quite some compensation.

Aside from economics, there's also the fact that we've seen massive global wars already, and we have weapons that could make the world unliveable for generations. Particularly if you look at Chinese history, there's an enormous amount of bloodshed. The party leadership will understand this.
Yep: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8g3HU3qENs&feature=youtu.be
Exactly. After the 2ndWW the system had a chance to reboot and the previous governments have turned the rudder to more equality for all people -- thus we had two or three decades of wealth. But than the problems came and the politicians turned to the same old solutions and to the big money for advice.

Today, the money has the power and the politicians are mere puppets of the money. And we are all busy to survive ourselves and don't see how humanity and the whole planet is killed by greed.

I think you're right. Keep a text file of your current schema in a vcs. This may be generated from a modelling tool, but you need a text file you can diff and log within the vcs.

SQL isn't difficult to read, modify, test. Ensure you have dev and test servers. You must have someone in your team who is conversant with the db server(s) you target, preferably not an application programmer but someone focused on the database.

There are many schemes to manage changes, but just store a alter and backout script of each change once in production works for me, give them a number and an order to apply.

I'm managing schema for our product set of maybe 1000 db objects as well as doing some reporting, BI and some app dev and scripting. Just ensure that the team use the correct db and can rebuild easily to the trunk or release tag required and you should be fine.

Thanks to everyone for their excellent suggestions.

One of my reservations about going to an automated testing and grading approach is that the course evaluations consistently say that the personalized feedback is an important reason that they took the course. But the fact is that line by line analysis of every submission does not scale, and teaching X times as many sections means that compromises will have to be made.

I am not worried about the top and middle thirds of the students, they largely sail through on their own with pretty minimal guidance from me (it is an intro course and many of them have strong backgrounds). The bottom third of the class is new to programming though, so hopefully they will take more advantage of lab and office hour time to solicit help.

How socially sustaining is the whole idea of IoT?
Your answer may look unscientific (hand-wavy, with the word "meaningless" being too strong, that's how I explain the downvotes), but I guess if eating is (partially) feeding gut bacteria, then the micro structure of the food could well matter a lot with regards of which kinds of bacteria it promotes and which it weakens, and hence change the composition of the biome.

Then lets steelman this point of critique: Why doesn't Apple keep their OSes in beta for a couple of months more to release something that is really stable? Is the sample size of beta testers really too small? I doubt 6 months or so later would be a big disadvantage to the competition, quite the contrary, I think releasing more stable 1.0s could be a considerable advantage.
I don't know if "wildcard" is the right word. Nuclear weapons were developed with the explicit purpose of preventing wars as terrible as the World Wars. With the help of economic sanctions, they've succeeded so far.

> The original surveillance law included limits on data retention when spying on French nationals (30 days for the content of communications, four years for metadata, six years for encrypted data). The new international limits are much longer—one year, six years, and eight years respectively.

I can't imagine any of that will be allowed by the EU Justice Court. Now who's going to sue the French government?

The EUCJ is also going to rule on Europe vs Facebook case next week, which will affect the EU-US Safe Harbor agreement as well, and possibly some of these new spying laws in the EU. I can't wait (I think it will be a positive ruling).
If you include commuters, London's population is much larger than 12.5%: approximately 14 million people live in the "commuter belt" [1], which would put it at 21% (and a lot more people commute from even further, myself included).

Still, London has nothing on Seoul, whose metro area encompasses 49% of South Korea's population.

I think it's pretty safe to presume that all countries are doing it already, within their technical capabilities.

> Users should have full control over their own machines.

Agreed.

> System Integrity Protection is obnoxious paternalism at best

Couldn't disagree more. The user maintains full control: you can disable it at will, temporarily or permanently. Protections like this are becoming essential as a result of current malware threats. Thanks to System Integrity Protection, we're now much more protected against rootkits and similar attacks. This is a good thing.

I feel like I have to keep defending it because it's perceived as this removal of user freedoms, when it's factually just not the case–you can still do everything you could do before, you just have to restart into recovery mode to do so (to be able to do this without the restart into recovery mode would undermine the security this technology provides). System Integrity Protection is closer in spirit to something like SELinux than anything.

"Facebook has committed not to inspect the traffic passing through its proxy server while it’s temporarily decrypted, and to log only data that could be seen even if the traffic truly were end-to-end encrypted: namely the domain (but not the rest of the URL) and the amount of data transferred."

Committed in what way? To who? And for how long?

I really don't trust such blanket statements. It's basically a TOS that says "Go on, trust me."

Encryption is meant to provide some level of assurance that I don't need to trust you.

Having a point in the communication chain where things aren't encrypted is the definition of a weak link. This is completely ignoring things such as National Security Letters.

tl;dr: We may never know as the article doesn't address the question, choosing instead to list the author's favourite reasons why London is so awesome. I beg to differ, personally. Poor air quality, overcrowding and hopeless mobile infrastructure put it low on my list of desirable places. If your idea of 'culture' is state subsidised opera and looting then maybe London is for you, but there are superior and more diverse cultural offers around the UK. YMMV.

Anyhoo, a more cogent statement of the question the article poses might be 'London has recently greatly benefited from globalisation in ways the rest of the U.K. has yet to duplicate, why ?

Of course not but if we stick to the maximum we still can use this value to calculate our intake when we try to lose weight. If the body extracts fewer calories, even better for the weight loss.
I'm not talking about people who need to optimize a few % body-fat; I'm talking about BMI > 30.

Nobody should be allowed to export personal data from such jurisdictions except for the owners of that data themselves. A U.S.-ian should be allowed to decide to trust their personal data to a company inside E.U. jurisdiction but that company shouldn't be allowed to trade that data anywhere else (especially, back to the U.S.).
