Germany does not intend to silence anti-refugee posts. Germany wants to stop illegal incitement of hatred. Such as promoting or even threatening to burn down asylum centers, to hurt or even kill refugees and those that help them.

Those are not just words, asylum centers are being burned to the ground, refugees are attacked, just recently some were killed on the border the EU, just yesterday someone tried and almost suceeded in killing a politician who helped refugees.

You have to be insane to support this as free speech unless you support these nazis.

That's why I wrote that it must be at least orchestrated, in a way that a radio orchestrates the sound by tuning in on correct frequency, amplifying and decoding (digital) or doing FM->AM conversion. I'm not saying that the original comment is for sure 100% wrong.

> Seems like we have only a very feeble understanding of the brain.

Yes and no. Our understanding is very selective; we definitely lack the details on everything, but we know the general picture and details of some parts - which lets us have some confidence about how the thing works. We know for instance that if brain is in fact just an antenna, it's not for anything that goes over EM spectrum, and most likely neither by any particle known to us. Otherwise we'd have figured it out already by accident - people would drop dead underground or close to (shielded) nuclear reactors. On the other hand, we can pull things that look like intermediate computation results out of brains via fMRI.

This does not discard original comment's hypothesis, but lets us classify it as "extremely, extremely unlikely".

Expressing a dissenting opinion against the mainstream shouldn't have to the extent of threatening ones livelihood because it suppresses honest discussion. That is the point 0x49 is trying to make. You are inferring with your comment that dissenting from mainstream opinion should be allowed to have the equivalent social consequences of e.g. advocating genocide. But with that line of reasoning you are allowing people with unpopular opinions to argued by the character of the people making them.
Online harassment is almost always a reaction to speech. If ten thousand people send hateful messages to someone because they tweeted something they found offensive, is that harassment or social consequence?

How about some concrete examples: did Justine Sacco suffer social consequences for speech, or was she harassed by an online mob? How about Anita Sarkeesian?

I'm not sure it's that they're looking to change it, vs. take advantage of something for their own political ends that already exists (and has for a long time). The traditional "rule" in the US is that you can do whatever you want on your own time, unless it's something that your employer finds out about, and finds sufficiently offensive, embarrassing, or inconvenient. Then, since employment is at-will, they can fire you for it, as long as it isn't from a specific list of things that would constitute unlawful termination. The main change, as I see it, is that using it as an organized tactic (compiling lists, contacting employers, etc.) has mainly been done by conservatives in the past, directed at communists, the LGBT movement, flag-burners, etc. Those more on the left using it (or at least, using it with any success) is a somewhat newer development in the US.

To me the fundamental place to tackle this would be at the mechanism: the problem is that employers can and do fire people who have opinions they either dislike or find embarrassing. That will continue to be true, unless labor laws are changed to make it more difficult.

Everything is debatable of course, but pretty much on page 1 of Google's privacy page, I see:

We collect information to provide better services to all of our users – from figuring out basic stuff like which language you speak, to more complex things like which ads you’ll find most useful

I object to "ads you'll find most useful" being ok under the category "provide better services to our users". If you accept the premise that better ads are useful, then pretty much everything Google does is for your own good.
Ruby provides object_id for the same purpose. Comparing those for equality provides the "is_" semantics.
Even with the subtitle, the comment still holds true. The article makes the bird out to be very rare so that we'll be upset about it when it's killed. And then much later in the article the writer reveals that it's not actually certain how rare this bird is. In fact, apparently it's seen all the time by the locals. So now that we emotionally invested in this bird on false pretenses, we are now supposed to decide whether or not we care that it was murdered.
A "drone region lockout" bypass (using spoofed GPS signals) was showcased by a team at Def Con this year. They showed video of their drone taking off inside restricted airspace in Beijing. In other words, if someone wants to deliberately break the rules, they're going to find a way. I guess it would still prevent accidental airspace violation.

My main concern is that the definition of "restricted airspace" is likely to increase if this becomes a standard. E.g. the National Park Service would probably lobby to have all of their airspace included, even though it's a nuisance to some people in national parks instead of a safety concern.
This makes sense. If they were #2, then there's always the possibility another position could open up, and who wants to be the HR guy who told the applicant "no" when you need somebody new next week?

Or another position may not pop up.

Next time, if you feel like you had a super killer interview, after a week or so reach out to the technical folks you interviewed with. Might have to google around to find them. Thank them for such an awesome chance to interview and ask them when you might be hearing something. That'll get the ball rolling. (But the answer is still probably no -- if you're the one sending the email, odds are they went with somebody else or the position evaporated)

You obviously don't even understand what writing is, on the internet or anywhere else. Writing is done as a service to the reader. If you can't be bothered to do an edit and correct obvious spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors, you're telling your readers that what you've written isn't very important, interesting, or worth reading.

I just graduated college and what seems to be the problem among my peers wasn't that they were coddled too much but that they were facing the prospect of spending years of their life and tens of thousands of dollars and still not getting a job. If hard work guaranteed a job after college there wouldn't be this wave of anxiety. I know some people who worked super hard on college but still don't have a job after they graduate and if the older generations had to meet strict metrics or be unemployed they would've been stressed, too.

I'm pointing out that "Google" and "Google Analytics" are separate and that when your data is collected "Google" gets it, processes it and then pushes the refined data to "Google Analytics". The raw data is used in the "internal API" (Which is different than the public APIs that you are familiar with). Both your source and OPs are referring to "Google Analytics" (which is the public part that webmasters see).

I fail to see what your point is. I believe there does exist an appropriate perspective for questions such as these. Are you arguing that it doesn't exist, that the one I suggested isn't the appropriate one, or that we can just ignore the problem? This is basically about framing issues, something which is generally recognized as a crucial factor in debate.
This is not misleading in any way, your only disagreement with it is on principle.

It increases the effort required; if you can make the binary line up with 99% of the source code, the remaining 1% is where the back door is.

It's unlikely to have entirely reproducible builds, but simply making the callgraphs line up will give you a lot of information.

Debugging Ruby, in general, is often a pain in the ass. It stems from an awful combination of terseness and metaprogramming. The terseness comes from using an identifier to both represent variable reference and method invocation. Contrast this to Lisp-like langauges, where function (or macro) invocation only happens in the first position of an S-expression. In Lisp, it's clear that an identifier is either a variable or a function depending on where it's located.

In Ruby, no visual indication exists. Worse, things like attr_reader blend instance variables with local variables and method identifiers. Throw in a method_missing and inheritance, and you can easily lose weeks just tracking down where an identifier is even coming from. Throw in a gem or two, and all hope is lost.
Programmer destroys unique software configuration

On Tuesday in Redomond, VA, a programmer uncovered a unique software configuration that was being activated under very specific circumstances. This specific software configuration had never been seen before. The programmer then proceeded to simply erase the unique configuration from existence, removing any trace of it from the master codebase.

Locals in Redmond say that such configurations are rather common and call them "bugs".

How is that terrible? (this is not their business model in reality) Do you not agree that by using these features you deprive sites of revenue? Adblock believe that unintrusive ads should be permitted to allow free sites to remain free.

This is a perfectly reasonable position to take and it is unfair of you to attack them.

How would you even reliably audit something as big and complex as the Windows source code?
That's not the point. With the built-in encoder, people create movies which they make money from. Now, Youtube recodes those when you upload them, however, the "original" movie was created on a Mac. And apparently the license states you can't profit from making H264 videos on OS X.

Whether this is something people could actually get sued for is doubtful. On the other hand, I wouldn't be surprised if some shady company who is nominally a member of the consortium chose to go after the more successful Youtubers. At the very least it's something a consortium company could use to take down videos they don't like.
You're right, I missed it. Nice catch :)
> It would be nice to know if this is something that compounds over time or if it is just the high concentration of the chemical that is affecting the people being reported on.

I think the science is not settled yet, which is why they are having a hard time making an exposure rule, but:

"NIOSH noted that five of six current employees who worked in the quality control room popping nearly 100 bags of product in microwave ovens per shift suffered airway obstruction despite relatively low full shift exposure to butter flavoring vapors."

http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2009-01-21/pdf/E9-1125.pdf

From what I read about it seems like a cumulative hazard with no known safe level, every exposure does some damage. So I would install ventilation, or just buy a gas mask (they are not expensive, you can get them at a hardware store, probably cheaper than a ventilation system).

> At this point you might as well do `m1 == m2.convert_to(m1.currency)`, because "HaveSameWorth" might mean many different things too.

I personally hate that last style because it's obvious that the "HaveSameWorth" relation is intended to be symmetric, and by writing it like m1 == m2.convert(...) you're prefering one side over the other. It looks bad for me :).

Also, in case of real-life objects it makes sense to spell out what do you mean by 'equality' (or 'equivalency'), and leave the default implementation to represent the philosophical concepts of "the same" and "equivalent to".
I think this whole thing is kind of ironic, e.g. consider John James Audubon:

"He shot and killed every bird he painted. Audubon was a noted hunter and taxidermist, and much of the money he made during his lifetime was from selling animal skins, a practice that in part helped to fund the printing of "Birds of America." But don't assume that he took pleasure from killing the birds he painted: "The moment a bird was dead," he said, "no matter how beautiful it had been in life, the pleasure of possession became blunted for me."

Kill one bird, get targeted by the internet rage mob - kill a few thousand and you get a Google Doodle.
I meant me :-)

You just arent thinking long-term. It starts with things like fat-shaming.

Its also not just being treated like an 'asshole'. Its a complete destruction of ones personal life, abusive behavior such as harassment, and many times the mob moves to the persons place of employment and the business doesnt want the negative publicity, and fires the employee.

Does a person deserve this sort of treatment? Arent we trying to stop online bullying?

Mobs are fickle. While today, you are on the side of the mob...tomorrow the mob might be against you. At that point, it will be too late to protest because it is already an acceptable practice in our society.

The government doesnt even really need to pass laws to control the people. The mobs will take care of it for them.

I had a go at climbing from Tibet a few years ago - got to 8100 meters but my O2 packed up. I think mountaineers are a bit conflicted - on the one hand it's messy having the place covered with tourists / so so climbers but on the other it's nice to be free to climb mountains and not have it restricted to the anointed few. Stopping the use of O2 would probably cause a lot of deaths - bodies tend to pack up at that altitude without it. I'm not sure stopping guiding would make much difference. I went 'unguided'. You still plod up the thing. If you had to carry all your own kit rather than getting Sherpas to lug the ropes and tents it would make it much harder.
However, it has a different problem. It says he was searching the bird for two decades. I doubt one could get a bird to hold still for that long to be searched.

It should, of course, read "A scientist's decision to kill a bird he'd been searching for for two decades". (I see the problem is in the original.) Alternatively, one could say "... seeking for two decades".

Adblock is unfair because the "unintrusive ads" aren't that - they are just "companies who have paid more to have their ads shown - ads". I would say that's both unfair and terrible because a) it disavantages smaller players in the ad market (decrease in choice is bad). b) Who determines which ads are "unintrusive"? - that's a qualitative property. But then again it has become a product that does not do that - it's not actually blocking ads now.

That's a copyright license, though, which is different from a Terms of Service, which is what the OS X thing is.

A copyright license gives positive rights. It gives you permission to do something that would otherwise be illegal. If you're not big on copyright, it's easy enough to write a very short license that boils down to "I give you ALL the permission."

A ToS takes rights. It's a contract to agree not to do something that would otherwise be legal, in exchange for permission to use the software or whatever.

That's why a copyright license boils down to "You can do A, B, C" while a ToS boils down to "You can't do A, B, C".

You need to agree to a ToS before using software for it to be valid, since it governs usage, and it can't take away rights unless you agree to it.

On the other hand, you don't need to agree to a copyright license, since it only governs copying, and it only grants rights. You only need to read it if you need the rights it grants.
That is completely false. That is not what the linked article says.

I was excited about the online masters program offered by Georgia Institute of Technology (mentioned in the article) in August 2014, but got rejected. I know my application was not as good as those that were accepted.

But why create an online course and prevent people from paying you? I thought one of the major purposes of online courses was inclusion and fighting elitism.

Anyway, I created my own curriculum and it is more rigorous than the one offered on Udacity for free. But I do miss interacting with other students.
