Actually, they do mention that, just before the start of Section 4.1 (I hadn't heard of this before, maybe why I noticed it.)
So citizens carrying guns doesn't stop, or even reduce, the level of crime. The only impact on society is gang warfare and more effective suicides. That sounds like good evidence to ban guns to me - the benefit (fewer deaths) would far outweigh the cost (freedom to own a gun that evidently doesn't protect you from crime).
I am as saddened as on Paris shootings and killing of innocents like I'm shooting and killing of thousands of Muslims in Syria, Palestine, Iraq and Kashmir.

I hope Western Society/Media or elsewhere will not bring faith factor in discussion just like they don't bring it up during US shootings or killing in Palestine or elsewhere.

I'd argue that the median price paid to a squatter is less than the present value of $100/year for the life of the domain ownership minus the present value of $10/year for the life of the domain ownership. So your proposal, while shutting out squatters, would cost typical legitimate domain owners more money.
To be fair, in the context of reddit where it became a thing, the ELI5 subreddit defines the term as meaning layperson-accessible explanations, not patronizing "treat the asker like a literal five-year-old child" explanations.
That's an appealing and intuitive idea to me too, yeah; but they have validated that it's actually the case on a large population of users. Their paper seems very methodologically careful/thorough. It's also interesting to me that they correlated this with the post-game player-feedback.

Its easy to say 'we knew that' post hoc, but they've done the science. (Also, hindsight bias is a real thing.)

This seems like the opening step in a line of research.
Its like in Feynman's 'cargo cult science' address about the (apocryphal?) experimenter 'Young': this is learning how to carefully do science in this domain. http://calteches.library.caltech.edu/51/2/CargoCult.htm
You won't find that many people raging at you these days, most of those are chat banned for life, more or less. If you want to hear 8-year-olds claiming to have done obscene things to your parents, CS:GO chat has you covered, though.

Small RP communities rarely survive contact with the outside world. Sad, but true, in my experience. I've yet to see one grow large, especially when mixed with other people who simply aren't interested in that. Lore in LOL is more of a long-running gag at this point, though there are a couple of interesting champion interactions in game (Khazix vs. Rengar, battles for the Frejliord). But most of it doesn't make sense, the entire summoner thing was retconned out of existence, and would you even guess that Janna and Singed are from Zaun?
Yes. Treat terror attacks as any other act of organized crime. It's stupid to do otherwise, given that the very point of terrorism is to make you do anything else.
Cool. I am glad there has been enough support and supporters over the years to push it to the finish. Compiled native executables, concurrency, async code blocks, and much more. I look forward to learning as soon as I get a chance. Hoping that companies adopt as well.

A Map in Your iPhone Is Tracking You. Here’s How to Zap It

This is awesome, thank you so much!

And bonus points to Dmitry of Coding Robots <https://www.codingrobots.com> for offering this, because this was partly my own fault. I'd moved and archived the app, but not actually deleted it, and this didn't clear the App Store install receipt from my computer. I had to actually move the app to the trash for OS X to remove the install receipt. Once I did, the App Store let me reinstall Mémoires again, now code signed until Feb 7 2023. But I'll now be using the non Mac App Store version Dmitry just sent me.

[No such luck with Byword though, as I still can't download the old Snow Leopard version of the app from the App Store.]
At least they speaks french according to witnesses
http://www.mediapart.fr/journal/france/131115/paris-frappe-p...
There were eyewitness reports that the gunmen were talking to each other in French. So, that's something. If they were recently-arrived refugees that probably wouldn't be the case, though it doesn't rule out long-term embedded groups.
> Remember how part of Stalin's price for peace with Japan was 300,000 Japanese slaves, none of whom ever returned to Japan after the war.

Most of those Japanese POWs who survived the winter of 1945 / 46 had been repatriated by 1956, with mediation by the Red Cross.

Furthermore:

In 2005, the Russian government provided the Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare microfilms of personal information of 40,940 Japanese POWs who had died during their detention.

Still horrific but less than 10% of the total number.

There is a fascinating history of those who returned to Japan but couldn't fit-in again due to Soviet indoctrination.
There's the things we all know, and there's things we all know because they have been scientifically studied and validated, and these two sets of things are not the same.

I'm sure the research in this area will uncover more unintuitive things later!
It's basically impossible to review and touch the whole code base if it's 100MLOC.

Unless there is a very good reason that convinces the business sponsors that it's OK to spend a few man years on it. Switching to a shinier version of the programming language usually isn't.

It sounds like Otto isn't aimed at devops people at all. It's aimed at the poor (in the material sense) developers who have to churn out 10 Wordpress sites a year to make a living wage and don't want to spend half their time figuring out how the permission system works.

I believe it was a tweet https://twitter.com/patio11/status/664551822120476672 which was interpreted as chiding the victims for being thin-skinned in the attack upon them. (Secure systems thrive and survive only if they can take on all stressors and remain robust.)

While Patrick seemed to be focusing on the abstract notion of security mechanisms needing to welcome malicious scrutiny, the strong reaction against his tweet was based on the observation that Patrick failed to take into account the real, human cost of such an attack. This was further compounded by the fact that often, research requires IRB approval to determine whether the research is ethical, and the evidence is that CMU's actions weren't ethical. Yet Patrick felt it necessary to opine without understanding the ethical component of such an attack.
Somehow related, I've been looking to block certain websites on iOS for a while now and a free content blocker called "Refine" can do it easily.[1] You can enable just the custom list if you're already using a different content blocker.

This might be an idea to implement something like Stayfocusd, where you could define a list of sites to be blocked between a time period or certain days (if this is possible).

Please don't use Quay for official open source images if you care about international users, or at least offer a Docker Hub option as well. Quay is super slow compared to Docker Hub. When I contacted support back in July, they were very polite and professional, but in the end "everything is being served from AWS's US East region". Peak time performance is intolerable. It was so bad that our systemd units were timing out even with a massive 5min TimeoutStartSec.

To worsen the issue, Quay still doesn't seem to support parallel layer downloads, and Docker 1.9 even complains that "this image was pulled from a legacy registry. Important: This registry version will not be supported in future versions of docker."

I just ran a quick test (way off peak time) and Quay was 2.5x slower than Docker Hub for an image built from the same Dockerfile.

I'm looking forward to more usable international service at some point, but right now it just isn't really worth it.

How to Piss Off Your Investors
Sadly Visual Studio's compiler has no warning I'm aware of. Using /sdl will forcibly initialize all your members however - I guess Microsoft's approach to the problem is that fixing it for you is better than giving you ignore-able warnings.

There are third party tools - such as cppcheck - which should catch uninitialized members however.

I generally also compile with clang, which catches a lot of additional stuff for me.

And here's a random John Carmack link noting some of the static analysis tools out there:

http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/128836/InDepth_Static_Cod...

I've been playing around with clang's Address Sanitizer all day as well, catching buffer overflows and underflows left and right in a janky old codebase I was suddenly thrust into recently...
Just sad that Google has lumped the permissions into categories, and also put a bunch of them into "safe".

Yeah yeah, clueless aunt Tillie will flip something and complain that its broken. But persisting this way means that you (Google and anyone agreeing with their stance) are breeding whole generations of Tillies.

I know at least one group that has used mobile-phone ultrasonics for sonar imaging of breathing. http://apnea.cs.washington.edu/

In terms of entropy, breathing rate is a lot of information: several breaths per minute. So if something of that rate can be noncooperatively recovered, the claim in your comment about cooperative recovery is dubitable.
Won't help you at all against a bomb.

As 'NotHereNotThere said, terrorists attack in a way adequate to the conditions. They have time to prepare, so whatever means of defense you have, they'll strike in a way in which those means won't help you.
"Or allow people in rich neighborhoods to have guns but ban them from ghettos."

You have articulated the opposite of what self defense proponents want. Here in AZ proponents of humans being able to defend themselves got a recent (partial) win with United States v. Verdugo-Urquidez. Talking large groups of people hostage is logistically extremely difficult when even a few % are armed.

And to those who say "they will use bombs instead of attacking armed people"... Should bombs be banned too?
Terrorism doesn't need weaponry.

Indeed. Even if you deem well-coordinated attacks with just edged weapons (like the fictional ones in "The Following") unlikely, note that the Multiple-Victim public homicide with the most fatalities in US history used not a single firearm.

(and I'm not talking about 9/11, although it could count as such as well)
Hard to believe an "abusive stepfather" could be called a "safe space".
Not long ago French journalists did a 'weird' documentary about smuggling military weapon from eastern Europe. They managed to pass a whole bag of them, neutralized before their trip home obviously and destroyed as soon as they crossed the border. Still, far too easy for two peaceful, networkless persons.
Bingo, if you want cache aware programs C++ is really the only language widely used(although I'd love to see Rust supplant it).
Thats a perfectly reasonable thing to mention.
To nit-pick: Anything under 20kHZ isn't ultrasonic. :) (Not that either you or the blog author called this high-frequency signalling "ultrasound", but it does appear to be what people are calling it. :/ )

Even if there's no existing game engine, it's almost certainly written in C++.

Frankly many "dumbphones" could rival iPhone when it launched, yet the press went gaga about smartphone for the masses (because Apple made it, natch).

The basic problem was that USA was lagging the mobile world severely, so when the likes of iPhone shipped over there it seemed like a revolution for that insular market. I just wish the wider (tech) press didn't so much unquestionably parrot the US press.
> Please explain how targeting innocent civilians for their ethnicity or beliefs is equal to military vs. military operations.

It's not. I'm sure the terrorists would actually prefer to be shooting soldiers and high-ranking politicians instead of innocent civilians. But since those targets are too well protected, in their minds the only thing they can do to retaliate against their enemies is to commit terrorist attacks against civilians in their enemies' homeland.

If the roles were reversed and ISIS were the world superpower launching cruise missiles against Houston (some) Americans would surely sign up to do similar things to get back at them. The only reason we don't is because we're rich and powerful and don't have to stoop to that level, not because we're incapable of it or somehow more morally enlightened.

Edit: see the firebombings and nuclear attacks on Japan in WWII for what the US is capable of when they don't have an overwhelming military superiority.
42% in a western non-islamic country is huge. My conclusion is that Islam is not compatible with the western cultures, with things like freedom of speech, freedom of religion, personal freedoms, and it's a huge mistake for Europe to allow so many of them in. You don't have to believe me, listen to the muslims themselves talk about it:

Plenty of attacks by Hindus in Sri Lanka, too.

Religion - any particular one, or at all - is neither necessary nor sufficient for brutal violence or its prevention.
I think this quote is exactly backwards wrt. terrorism. There are times when the right move is to not do anything, and terror attacks are such a case. We should focus on police work to determine and bring to justice the entire chain of command, just like every other organized crime group. Just this. The whole point of a terror attack is to make the victim do something more.
Could have had the best of both worlds by giving the print function a different name from the print statement (e.g. printf for the function). Then the print statement could have been deprecated gracefully. (And then the print function could have been renamed print if anyone really cared at that point.)
Historically? Perhaps batch processing.

It simply isn't possible for a bank for example, to press a button and see where the money is. It takes several days of operations to get anything near accurate and meaningful.

This sounds like a joke, but it most seriously isn't. (this is before the qualitative nature of valuing stuff, this is simply the question 'where is the money?')
Bah! Cargo cult is a much more nuanced concept. That primitive peoples would blindly imitate in pantomime, the behaviors of an industrialized society, disembodied from the original roots of said behaviors is a deeply shocking outcome. There are so many perverse implications to that, that one almost hates to admit it happened, and still continues to this day.

This on the other hand is like profiling someone's personality based on their choice of ringtone, t-shirts or bumper stickers. It's not very interesting to learn that such choices map well with demographics.
And today will silently redirect messaging onto their own system, that will swallow any incoming messages if you ever dear leave their ecosystem. I really really wish they had never gotten into the phone business.
Killing innocent, helpless people IS irrational. Period
Every app store purchase is a subscription. If it were a purchase, you could resell. As you can't, it's clearly a rental model with payment up-front. Apple decides when they pull the plug on your 'purchase'. The same thing applies to google play, windows store, steam, etc... The era of buying software is drawing to a close. From here on out it's rental only, unless you follow the advice of rms and use libre software exclusively.
Microphone access, especially if it's always-on to listen for the cue, is going to end up recording conversations, and those conversations will almost certainly involve people who are not the phone's owner and so could not have consented to having that phone record them.

(also there's the general problem of devices "helpfully" listening all the time for magic phrases like "Hey Siri" or "OK Google")
It's opt-in.
It seems to me that Amazon or any large e-commerce company could duplicate every aspect of Wish's business for a tiny fraction of the $10 billion they offered.

I have no personal knowledge, but I'm going to offer 3 theories on what's really going on:

(a) Perhaps Wish is undergoing exponential growth and there's no way Amazon can catch up if they did it themselves. This is why Microsoft paid a fortune to acquire Hotmail rather than just creating their own free email service. (The $400 million that Microsoft paid seemed absurdly crazy at the time. That's million, not billion. How quaint the web was.)

(b) Not all decisions are driven by hard reasoning about money and numbers. Executives enjoy schmoozing, hobnobbing, and doing "big deals". Would you rather be the worker-bee executive who spends the next 2 years and $30 million creating a division that duplicates Wish's business model or be the bigwig who orchestrated a ten billion dollar deal in 3 months? It's not your money after all.

(c) Accounting rules vastly favor investing in other companies rather than spending it internally. This is nicely explained in an old article by John Walker, founder of Autodesk:

"Many people think that because Autodesk has $140 million squirreled away,
we can use that money free of constraints. But that isn't how it works.
Regardless of how prudent you've been piling up money over the years, the
moment you spend any of it in your business, it's just as if you increased
your day to day operating budget. That means rising expenses without an
increase in sales, and that translates into . . . falling margins.

About the only thing you can do with the money that doesn't cause margins
to fall, other than giving it back in dividends, is investing it in other
companies. When you make an investment, that's carried on the books as
capital. As long as you don't have to write the investment off, it doesn't
affect your operating results."

Or maybe some combination of (a), (b), and (c) above.
My Huawei P6 (yep, a Chinese company providing user selectable privacy options) shipped with some variant of this, and i have yet to see anything break when using it.
There's no question that the ideology of islam - or at least the ideology of several of its sects is a critical element in these attacks. Claiming otherwise is leftist PC nonsense.

Sure there are many good muslims, most of whom you will find adhere to a secular ideology and western value system despite labelling themselves "muslim".
Even if we don't count the side-effects of this. I don't think armed citizens stand a chance against highly trained militants with heavy weaponry.
So the real question is, if you think the market is gunna go down in flames soon, how do you short... everything?
Does Apple deliberately slow its old iPhones before a new release?
Patents Awarded to Formerly Secret Inventions
Apple started adding location services permissions 5 years ago. Android 6.0 has only just been released.

Whichever way you look at it it's pretty unacceptable that it's taken so long for Android to implement this.
Really sad. It's also depressing to see the response from politics. Border controls and more police presence. How likely is that to solve the underlying problems?
Are those projects likely to switch to c++11 or c++14 which dint have breaking changes? It seems unlikely. In which case why not break things?
Rational.. irrational.. I hope you can see that it's a pointless argument. The word "rational" is highly subjective so we shouldn't pretend there's some objective measure of rationality.

* Kill an innocent civilian
* Have or perform an abortion
* Eat meat
* Fight in a war
* Drop an atomic bomb on a city
* Commit suicide

That's all shit that some people call rational and others call irrational. The truth is that "rational" is a word we choose because it sounds objective and authoritative, but it really means: "something that makes sense to me"
Let me add in autocomplete and, if applicable, import management.

> Higher order functions ... no mainstream languages that don’t do this.

Go doesn't, vehemently so. A higher order function, such as map, must be generic, and Go simply doesn't see the need for that. Write more for loops :(
Wow, the entire Perl community is there.
But it seems to fall into the range used by those "mosquito" devices. Meaning it is on the edge of what most humans can hear at young age, and lost with age.
I do appreciate your point and the quote shows its not just yourself arguing the other side of the case. But every act of violence or intimidation is not "an act of terrorism". For god's sake what would you call the USA police vs Black Unarmed people? I mean if that is not worse and more akin instilling intimidation into people I don't know what is.

Since Google's own "Google App" listens in the background without a clear indication, I doubt Android will be fixed on that point.
Unfortunately, the reality of the world is that many people do not adhere to this. Thus the need for strong leadership to bring those who will not co-operate kicking and screaming to the discussion table (or to eradicate them if no such discussion is possible).

My first thought about Paris is not to pray for it. It is to bring harm to those who brought the attack on the Parisians.
