conflict one: economy was down the toilet, was attempt to fix it

conflict two: economy was bad, was attempt to fix that

My point was that conflicts happen (and grow) because the economy turns down, not because some people get demonized. That's a propaganda tool at best.

Why not disable images too? I'd suspect they add most weight to the average site and are likely just as superfluous as all the javascript.

>In seriousness, disabling javascript (and enabling it selectively when things inevitably break when I was using NoScript) grew too tedious for me after a while.

I'm sort of inclined to agree. I really want to like NoScript, but every now and then when I use NoScript for a couple of weeks I get frustrated with it and disable it. Sure, having it disabled is also frustrating, but it's a different kind of frustration and at least I can sort of use the site without having to put active effort into it. Now I just use uBlock Origin, it just works more or less.
Yes, neglected. They put resources for the js revamp. It was cute at the time, not anymore, Google surely knows it but doesn't want to invest anything here (for now). They just pushed a huge redesign of G+, supposed to be their flagship, vastly simpler and faster (to the point of making it even less relevant). Blogger gets the remains if anything ever drops.
Gzip encoding works great to shrink JS (and CSS and HTML). Obfuscation adds almost nothing on top of that.

Dead-code stripping is still useful but you can do that without obfuscating.

One of my first contract development jobs came in '96 when a research group in Norway was going to do a demo of their autonomous underwater mapping submersible for some US navy brass. Problem was the tiny tracking boat that was following the submersible on the surface to receive the data (via an accoustic link..) would not hold everyone who was going to be in attendance, so they needed a way to stream the data from the tracking boat to a US navy ship to display it on some Sun workstation there.

For some reason they'd decided the best option was GSM data. 9600bps should be fine - the mapping data feed was about 2400bps. Problem of course was both of these ships would be out in a fjord, far from any cells, and in motion.

So I ended up writing a little proxy that they'd connect to and feed data that'd do automatic redialling and then layered a variant of the zmodem protocol on top of that to handle re-sending of data, and tuned it for specifics of the app to minimize delays in catching up to the live feed.

I'd used zmodem a lot in my BBS days before, but that was the last time.

What I find interesting is that so many tech companies (maybe not just tech) seem to approach employing people from a negative standpoint. Everything is aimed at "weeding people out"...it's almost like the default assumption is that candidates won't be suitable for a position.

Markus Kayser made a "Solar Sinter" e.g. a sun-powered 3D printer.

Absolutely not.

France actually is the perfect example of mass surveillance not working at all. Since the Charlie Hebdo terror attack they've introduced particularly intrusive Internet surveillance measures. I suppose those didn't work too well, did they?

If all that money and energy that's wasted on pushing and implementing surveillance agendas was actually spent on hiring more police, investment in security forces equipment, training and just good old-fashioned police work terrorist would have a much harder time.

Surveillance agendas only serve the politicians and suppliers of surveillance equipment. They're not only proven to be ineffective time and time again they're downright counterproductive because they're designed to evoke a feeling of the safety in the population but don't actually improve safety. Just take airport security theatre for example. It's a flamboyant show that's supposed to give you the impression that authorities care about your safety while in many respects it's less secure than the pre-2001 system.

European police forces have been watching those groups for quite some time now but it's only in the light of recent events they've been cracking down on them. That's exactly what's necessary to deal with this threat, not more surveillance.

Why ? Those reasons aren't going to change, and the past is a very, very bad reason to fuck up the future. It's also merely an excuse: it's not a reason.

And frankly muslim violence happens because of their superiority complex. Those muslim ghettos in Europe, I drive through 2 of them daily. They are filled with people who will shout about their superiority, with -50 euros in their bank account and no job. When you see them shouting at other groups about who has banged whose mother recently and who has to die because of that at the station, it is not exactly a mystery why they don't have a job either ("problems with motivation" as it's generally put in HR documents).
Because there's no(t enough) profit in it? Markets don't always create the stuff we need, even if they're not full of safety regulations because stuff that's being made is dangerous.

Interesting. Over here, providers are offering VDSL2, advertised as 100/100Mbit. Given my experience with DSL, that probably means about half that for the average user who is 2-3km from the DSLAM box. That's still pretty respectable. Is noone offering modern DSL in the US?

Yes, misfolded prion proteins(PrPsc) can 'infect' other correctly folded prion proteins(PrPc). Prions are glycoproteins found on the surface of cells, and they affect cell signaling from the exterior of a cell to the interior.

Insulin, on the other hand, is a free floating small molecule not anchored to a cell. Misfolded insulin is not 'infectious' like PrPsc.

The biological role of prions is still not well known, but one reason prion diseases are such a big deal is that prions are resistant to normal biological protein degredation. They are hard buggers to get rid of. Unlike insulin, which has a specific protease enzyme which breaks it down.

It's good clickbait, but why's that a good management strategy? What does it even mean? Who was it a secret from, the other employees? If the productivity gain of dropping some team members is not canceled by the losses of setting up a temporary office in a hotel room, maybe you were doing something wrong at your real office. Or you're exaggering about the cloistered nature of this "secret hotel room" for the press.

It's quite easy to make this particular *.exe path return an "Internal Error" by fuzzing the GET parameters, which may or may not be due to someone having written something that parses user-supplied data in C that then segfaults :)
I don’t quite see the issue here. Elsevier’s terms of service for subscriptions very likely explicitly ban bulk downloading. As such, they have every right to expect subscribers not to bulk download and further every right to ban specific subscribers (i.e. university libraries) if they violate those ToS. Nothing new, nothing exciting.

If you want to be able to freely access and bulk download the papers published by your peers, maybe you should make sure that those peers publish in journals that allow such downloads. Maybe you yourself should also only publish in journals that allow these downloads. Possibly, you could even run your own preprint server where everyone can submit their texts and which then can be made available in bulk to interested parties.

Breaking contracts you (or a person acting on your behalf) agreed to doesn’t help at all in the long run – boycotting those who only offer contracts you don’t like until they either change or go away is a much more viable, ethically acceptable and generally more enjoyable alternative.

And hey, if your method to detect fraud is successful, market pressure alone might be enough: after all, who wants to submit to a shady journal which doesn’t have its articles automatically checked for large-scale fraud regularly? Surely, only fraudsters…

On the other hand, while your VPN or VPS provider may be no more trustworthy than your local ISP, it's _much_ easier to switch VPN providers - and you can arrange to have them in a different jurisdiction as well - If my net connection is through a proxy server in the Netherlands run by a company from Germany in a datacentre owned by a Japanese firm and I'm in Australia browsing websites in the US - there's a lot of legal hoopjumping needed to get to me.

It doesn't. Sampling is technically illegal. However the bootleg market is often too small to go noticed and larger artists get authorisation before sampling (or at the very least - releasing).

You do often see some artists turn a blind eye to sampling though. Particularly dance artists because many of them know their entire genre exists of the back of sampling. So it would be counterproductive / hypocritical for them to chase after royalties

Ah. So no use in real-time if there is an unplanned delay as the map will show that the train just went past you when in fact it didn't. Shame.
Timetables can change, 'live' data does not. But, if it's 'calculated' then you're right, and it's pretty much a visual timetable.

Am I missing something, or these updates are just estimates? I could see any periodical http requests, long running call or web sockets open.
It most likely means that there is no exact GPS data, but the company knows when trains arrive at a certain station and can calculate when the trains arrive at the next station (thus, they show us if a train or bus is late in minute-resolution). So it's easy to tell when a train is just departing, or when a train should be approximately 100 meters from the last station away, etc.
My best coding sprees were done by retiring to my place and stop communicating with the rest of the company.

I mean, if you have a crystal clear set goal, and a very very tight deadline, you don't need to be in anyway, all you'll get is distraction, unwanted interest and questions, 'status reports' that only waste time and so on.

Much better to isolate yourself and crack on with it...

> "writing can be very weird"

Absolutely! I think there's a lot of baggage in computing because it happened to emerge in places where language could mostly be written in simple characters with surprisingly simple rules. When exported internationally suddenly you deal with "oddities" that are really rather the norm in other languages.

In French for example is customary NOT to put accents on capital letters, even though it's possible. But then again sometime people do it anyway - it's not a hard rule. So often converting to lowercase may require contextual understanding because some words are written the same but with different accents, and would capitalize to the same string. Which word was meant would only be evident from the context of the sentence.

I suspect that if computing had rather developed somewhere where these things were commonplace we would have much better handling of it today.
