Quoting a bit:

> All treaties are generally negotiated in secret, not just trade treaties, because draft documents do not actually represent what any country is actually seeking but rather a position they are taking to secure the terms they want. Countries will always overreach during negotiations by asking for insane/unrealistic things to be included such that the other countries involved are more willing to settle on a moderate position. Its precisely the same reason business deals, employment contracts and generally any other adversarial situation wont have working documents released publicly; it weakens the negotiation position for all sides to have a perfect understanding of the goals of the other side(s).
Building on that, here's an article from 1997 about the collision of professional gambling and civil forfeiture - http://www.blackjackforumonline.com/content/launder.htm :

> I had approximately $30K on me, but luckily I was wearing it.

> The airline x-ray detected approximately 100,000 dollars in cash and casino chips.

and a 2014 article titled "Poker Players Get Robbed Under Guise of Civil Asset Forfeiture" - http://www.cardplayer.com/poker-news/17922-lawyer-for-poker-... :

> The fancy legal term may be ‘civil asset forfeiture,’ but for a couple of poker players who saw Iowa police take $100,000 of their money it is just straight up robbery.

> In April of last year, poker players William “Bart” Davis and John Newmer­zhycky were driving west through Iowa with out-of-state plates after a poker road trip. In their car was a lot of cash,

... There's zero evidence that consciousness exists outside of the physical world. There's plenty of evidence that it does exist as something brains create. There's plenty of evidence that poking it chemically or otherwise causes changes in consciousness. In some cases, scientists have some ideas about how that might sorta happen (like the release of dopamine or serotonin). No one seems to disagree that taking, say, Xanax, does something to brain chemistry and causes e.g. less anxiety.

LSD is certainly a physical chemical that goes into physical brains. Yet all of a sudden folks want to introduce a separate magisterium and insist that despite having every appearance of acting on the brain somehow, LSD is special and really does something more. And not because of any extraordinary evidence, but because, while they were tripping, they thought up some cool neato thought like, I dunno, all people are one. A thought they can't verify at all, but makes sense while tripping. And because of that, not only is their neato thought true, but LSD itself must be something paranormal because other drugs don't let them think nonsense is true.

That's essentially all of what Leary and others come down to, despite hiding it in a lot more verbiage and nicer sounding ideas.

Just because the understanding of consciousness is rather much in its infancy doesn't give people blank checks to make shit up. LSD-fueled and valid-only-with-acid ideas on consciousness should be given as much weight as LSD-fueled pictures of Pluto.
Because of that feedback, you get to use your load as the lower half of the divider, so the total current drawn from the source is the load current plus a few microamps for the regulator's internals.

In the passive voltage divider circuit, if the load varies its current draw, you have to have a resistor in parallel with the load so that the total current through both the load and the resistor doesn't vary significantly (where "significant" is derived from your tolerance for voltage variation).
> By your logic if I see the word "latte" and I pronounce it "lat" because there is no "eh" sound at the end of words in English then that's perfectly fine and people should just deal with it.

You are just a single person, so it probably wouldn't be seen as correct. However, if a large number of people within some geographical area did the same thing, then it'd be a (correct) feature of that dialect.

I never said that any feature of any person's ideolect is always considered "correct". I said that features in the English spoken by "a large enough portion of English speakers" are.

Languages aren't ideal systems that native speakers attempt to conform to, languages are simply what is actually spoken.(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idiolect#Idiolect_and_language)

No, I'm arguing that correcting people when they're not wrong has no place.

I've never been unduly bothered by ads directly on Google's properties. Text search ads are almost quaint today.
Internet.org runs on top of existing ISPs. Anywhere it's accessible, other ISPs are available in the same region too.
"No internet" vs "Internet.org" as the only two options, is not a choice anywhere at all.

Those ISPs have bought public spectrum to provide telecom and internet services. Public spectrum being used to make services of foreign companies free, while making other traffic expensive, is something a democratic population should be concerned about.
I don't understand the argument here.

The TPP is not itself a law. It's a meta-law, which commits its signatories to enact actual enforceable laws based on the framework established in the treaty.

No device can be destroyed "under the TPP". The TPP instead demands that its signatories enact laws so that they have a judicial process whose remedies can potentially include the destruction of devices. The TPP hasn't even been ratified yet, let alone enabled by law.

This seems like hair-splitting, but I don't think it is. I think the question of what impact TPP will have on security research depends entirely on what the enabling laws for the TPP look like in each country. In the US, our laws already cordon off security and interoperability research from anti-circumvention enforcement.

The TPP itself also acknowledges non-infringing use. First, note that the Vice article selectively quotes the leaked TPP text, which does not demand destruction of "anti-circumvention devices", but rather of devices engaged in prohibited activity. The TPP does not demand a prohibition on security research. Further, the TPP earlier (QQ.G.17) binds each party to balance IP law with fair use for criticism, comment, and research.

I'm not arguing that the TPP IP law is going to be a good thing for security research. It probably won't be (at least, not outside the US). But it's too early to know what it's impact is going to be, and certainly to early to say that it's going to result in the confiscation of security researcher laptops.

I know a lot fewer people who have started taking SSRIs and then started taking SSRIs every weekend and got involved in cults centered around taking SSRIs and experiencing enlightenment and then ended up broken shells of people.

SSRIs have a very specific method of action, and it's drastically more limited in scope than these recreational drugs.

Alas, Java advocates always fail to entertain.

HotSpot was a Smalltalk VM that was bought by Sun and adapted to Java.

Automatic refactorings were first implemented in Smalltalk IDEs, and all major Smalltalk dialects have them today. Java's IDE's are direct descendants of Smalltalk IDEs. For example, Eclipse was a Java port of VisualAge Java, which had an IDE that could refactor Java even though it was implemented in Smalltalk. That in turn was based on VisualAge Smalltalk, which also had automatic refactoring.

I think advocacy is silly, but if you're going to do it, get your facts straight.
Rick Doblin at MAPS has said he's funding the medical research of psychedelics and MDMA partly to change their public perception. It's a good strategy. "Medicinal alcohol" during Prohibition and medicinal cannabis during Prohibition 2.0 both helped sway a skeptical public.

Strategic concerns aside, psychedelics clearly are powerful medicines and can yield profound insights, and their relative safety makes their Schedule 1 status morally repellent.
It's too late to edit, but I should add that really, what we want here is the per capita rate of factory workers locked inside factories so they can't leave. You know, because of the contract they entered into as rational economic agents without any coercion.

Still waiting on what the per capita rate of that for the US is.

It's so refreshing to see a critical take on psychedelics. While psychedelics can make you feel like some insight or thought is incredibly profound, often times it turns out to be incredibly banal when revisited with a sober mind. Don't get me wrong - I've some incredible trips on mushrooms and acid, some of which completely shattered my ego and made me see the world from in a totally different light. But when the afterglow wore off, my "insights" turned out to be really dumb. As in, "the whole world is connected" type of stuff... pretty bland.

About 5 years ago my friend tried acid for the first time and enjoyed the "profound insights" a little too much. I know this isn't common but he ended up getting addicted to acid, and proceeded to go on a 10 day long acid fueled frenzy. At the peak of his trip he believed that he was Jesus and that he was here to save mankind. Being the good modern Jesus he thought was, he proceeded to spread his Gospel by trying to friend EVERY SINGLE PERSON ON FACEBOOK. He at one point even posted his credentials online so that anyone and everyone could use his account to add more friends. His behavior was absolutely insane but the acid made him feel like it was "profound".

The point I'm trying to make is that while psychedelics can make you feel extraordinary feelings, there's no evidence that the insights gained from tripping have any use in reality.

This thread is interesting, finally people have started to complain that they are only against the name instead of saying that internet.org will skew the market (which it might).

The Mozilla Foundation has come out against ad blocking:

"Content blocking software should focus on addressing potential user needs (such as on performance, security, and privacy) instead of blocking specific types of content (such as advertising)."[1]

This is sad. Their slogan used to be "Work for mankind, not for the man". But the Mozilla Foundation is ad-funded. They currently have a deal with Yahoo to make Yahoo Search their preferred search engine. Before that, it was Google. Those deals bring in hundreds of millions of dollars a year. So they can't afford to bite the hand that feeds them.

This places them in conflict with Apple. Apple makes their money selling stuff to end users at a high markup. They can be very anti-advertiser if they choose. Apple could block all ads on their devices and market that as a feature.

"the purpose of news is to objectively inform you of facts"

Which news source does that? Fox News? the NYT? Al Jazeera? the WSJ? Democracy Now? the Washington Post? RT? The Guardian? Der Spiegel? No matter which one you pick, others will point out failures.

No news source can give you all the news. As commenters have long noted, the selection of facts to present is itself subject to bias.

For example, during a contract negotiation between a company and a union, does the news source report the facts as management sees it? Or as the union sees it? If it presents both sides, but one side is likely lying, does the news source report the lie, or let the reader decide, or interview a third party to have that third party point out the lie?
Ethical ad blockers should let the web page know that they are blocking ads so that the web page can chose to not display the content, or offer a paid option.
It will avoid a stupid arm race between the two parties, and it's transparent.
"The exciting thing isn't just that these drugs work for something that we already have treatment for. It's that they're getting big effects on disorders for which we have very poor treatment."

It sounds to me like it may imply that much of what we call "mental health" disorders are really somatopsychic conditions.
Yeah, good catch - just pushed a fix for that :)
This is about not deceiving users and attempting to usurp the definition of the word "Internet". It'd be fine if they called it Facebook Net or whatever.
They are if you can write about anything in fewer lines of code and that code is more comprehensible. That means the language is efficient at expressing programmer's ideas.
I don't see how the people who don't have internet, are making choices in any way at all?

They have no way to make an informed choice, or even to make a choice, and there is no media who speaks out for them. There is no wallet for them to vote from, and no competition to choose from.

Instead the whole move is designed to prevent them from making choices, in the future, choices that are contrary to Facebook's market domination.

I agree, but this implies that these reporters would need to write articles that are useful or interesting enough for someone to want to pay money for. And writing like that takes real work and talent to produce, very different from churning out 50 click-bait articles per day. Lots of writers and sites that survive on the ad-based model would probably die off if they had to switch to a pay-for-service model.
On the other hand, having a line out the door seems to sometimes be good marketing.
Which is anything but safe.
We do in a staging environment, but usually only with releases where we think something we changed will cause a major difference in how the app behaves under heavy load. It's not cheap to keep a full staging environment around, but when you're playing around with CDN optimizations it's a lifesaver.
Massive drug use is usually a symptom of unsatisfying social conditions. Personally, I would find it less than satisfying if civilaztions culmination was drug induced contentednes to poor living conditions instead of actually fixing those conditions to be humanly satisfying. Instead of recreational tripping because everyday life is so mentally stunting I would dream of a world where everyday life is personally satisfying to most.

That said, I have nothing against medicational nor recreational tripping - but I would be aware that those are not necessarily fixing the conditions but only changing the perception of them. And sometimes it indeed is only our perception that needs fixing. But in some cases it would be good to fix the source of angst as well.
Very interesting.

In a continuous delivery environment like this, you generally want to test and validate any change you make. Do any DBs support the idea of turning off an index (but keep updating it). That way you could disable it, keep going for a while, and then delete it once you're sure it's unused?
Shouldn't there be an "s" on the end of "Jorge Luis Borge[s]"?
I think what you're not understanding is that computers are literal extensions of brains and minds. We have outsourced our memories and our thought to these devices, and we must have the same assurances over them as we would over ourselves. This will become only more clear as the line between a biological memory storage device and a digital memory storage device blurs into nonexistence.

And that is also a conversation we've had before. There is no warrant you can get to force a suspect to testify against himself.

Though, it's cute that you think these "conversations" are meaningful. If the American government thinks you're too interesting to not know more about, they'll black-bag you and ship you off to a secret CIA dungeon where you'll be tortured for the rest of your life. Even if you end up being held without charge in a cushy place like Guantanamo, you'll never be released because you were held without charge and that makes you a terrorist.

I find it hilarious how surveillance advocates manage to forget that your government does not respect rule of law, it rules by law. It is the law.
This line of thinking is dangerous too, since Facebook has already changed the name. It's now called Free Basics by Facebook.

However, it is still a limited internet because it runs on top of IP networks provided by existing ISPs, who are using public spectrum. This public spectrum was auctioned for telecom and Internet services, the public and regulators still need to look at how this will skew the market and competition.
Re "divine process". Please refer to demonstration made by Ram Daas's guru in regards to artificial means of touching God.
Right, mobile networks are unusual. My point about "common internet-facing appliances" is that most systems maintain cwnd values of at least 10 segments, or else people notice and complain about poor performance.
Facebook is what people want to sue because many (maybe most) had no idea that you could hang out with friends online in a big broadcasty way until it came around. Will that be true when they realize they can make their own website or blog with their own style to share with friends and family, download torrents, edit Wikipedia, chat or IRC, or use Twitter and HN?

I don't really know, but I hope they would go for the bazar over the cathedral. I don't see why Facebook should get a first shot at hiding the reality of the system from them.

As far as I can see there's no categorization. The only way to find the list of actual static site generators is to read through the description of each of them. And since some don't have descriptions, the only way to know for sure is to visit their website and try to read through the docs to figure out.

That said it's a great list of tools around static web-tech - just not super useful if you're strictly looking for static site generators.

What fraction of the market will use over 64GB? I'm guessing it is only a tiny fraction.

Ignoring that, let's assume there is a significant market there. What fraction of that market would be able to move their data from their old phone to their new phone? Again, I would guess a tiny fraction. Syncing 512GB in a reasonable time frame would likely require a direct computer connection at USB 3 speed or thereabouts.

So, your best bet likely is a phone that allows plugging in a 512 GB flash module.
