Sorry, when I mentioned "alone with yourself" I was referring as in general, not only on the Web. I agree with you that online and private don't mix. What I was trying to say is that it is like if you don't have your space anymore. Unless you turn off your WiFi, put away all your gadgets, there seems to be no space for your thoughts, for you to think by your own about your day-to-day problems and find some interesting conclusions and perhaps to establish a commitment on improving yourself. Wherever you go, sometimes even to the bathroom, people end up taking their phone. When alone in your bed, phone is again present. You're always being influenced by what you see, read and perhaps impulsively making decisions based on that without thinking by yourself first.

It's not that long since you could have made the same statement you just made about Microsoft, and that changed in just a few years.
You're making a good point. I've noticed myself that the only moments I do real thinking nowadays are shower, bed (when trying to fall asleep) and the rare occasions when I don't feel like reading on public transport. Otherwise, there's always something else available that's easier and more comfortable than running with your own thoughts.
This is really great. Did they fire that guy who came over from the IAB with it too? Hostile takeover, reversed for now.

It seems like the whole congestion problem could be greatly diminished if employers would take responsibility of the negative externality they are causing.

Let's say employer can dictate when you arrive at work. Then your employer has to pay you salary for the time you spend commuting. The result should be either flexible hours or employers finding arrival times that don't overlap too much.

It's overly simplistic idea, but you get the point?

So, Mozilla simply lied before. How should we trust them to not fuck us over again?

A seriously irritated yet still loyal user since Netscape 3.0.
Why do they have to make money? Mozilla is a not for profit, collect donations like most other OSS entities.

Its clear they have no idea how to monetise anything to support the not-for-profit, so why bother and go back to the tried and true donations model.
Is it correct to draw a comparison between these findings and those revealed by behavior economists such as Daniel Kahneman: blaming as part of system 1 thinking and praising drawn from system 2? It seems to fit nicely (and I like that). If it is acceptable, then perhaps it isn't correct to say that our brains are wired to blame rather than praise but instead that we blame quickly and praise slowly.

Here's the great thing. You create your own or use some one else's stateless implementation and you can just slam the interface with MBs upon MBs of syn packets to random ips.

Whenever you get to the next step from any of them you just advance. It's beautiful.
Ahh great. I still have the strong feeling he was an IAB mole/shill within Mozilla. Glad he's out.

It is a design goal of symmetric crypto algorithms to produce an output that is indistinguishable from random with any reasonable effort.

Thereby what you're asking for is a compression algorithm that is so good that you can use it to attack AES. As long as we consider AES as safe that won't happen. (And I don't expect that AES gets anywhere near being broken within decades to come.)

That's not true at all. Bookmarks are as far as I can tell separate from Pocket. Pocket is a read later extension.
Never knew invade-a-load was mainly a feature of UK games..

It mostly appeared in games sold in the United Kingdom, as, by the time it was written, the Commodore market in the United States had mostly switched to floppy disk media.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invade-a-Load

Loading games on the C64 was a nightmare.... At least with the 3 cassette loaders I owned. The first 1 broke, the second one was returned due to not loading some games and with the 3rd I experimented with adjusting the tape head alignment. Most games would load, but sometimes they would randomly fail. When loading took a up 30 mins (max capacity, most games much less), it would become infuriating! Much finger crossing was done during loading.

This was the tape loader...

It happened EU wide (actually EEA wide), as part of the EU telecoms deregulation.

While it is in general quite good, it suffers from limitations in how it is regulated that means that BT is milking Openreach for profits and upgrading the network very slowly. The whole thing could do with limits on how much Openreach is allowed to pay out in dividend based on how much they invest in infrastructure upgrades.

> Most developers and the community are great. But the management level incl. their new CEO and their UI designers have little clue about their products and what their community is all about. Mr Eich was part of Netscape and Mozilla from the very beginning and created the Javascript language in a few days - he understood the community definitely better.

Their new CEO Chris Beard has been with Mozilla for a long time as well, with a break. I also expect it was his decision to pull the plug on sponsored tiles in order to focus 100% on making content discovery awesome for users (maybe with monetization as an afterthought). Saying he has little clue about the community just when he made a decision I imagine the majority of the community supports seems a bit odd. One could argue he should have done this earlier, but don't forget that Mozilla needs revenue to survive, and 90+% of the revenue coming from a single partner is a risk that will bite Mozilla sooner or later. So in order to diversify revenue, this was a reasonable experiment.

Apologies I was only trying to give benefit of the doubt to pj_mukh's comment. Tho 100 years is a stretch, he does have a point about the past ~60. I believe we're saying the same thing aside from that distinction.

Also, I was generalizing from Iraq. We didn't do such a great job holding that.

This thread is ultimately about military intervention in a place that could be charitably called a total f'n mess, in order to wipe out a terrorist group we helped create from the last total f'n mess we made in the region. Compounding that is the modern challenge of a highly connected world in which every intervention down to the smallest altercation can be caught on video and propagate, creating strife and leading to future acts. Whether or not the territory has been held in the past, the option is not realistically available to us now, nor do we wish to hold the territory, and nor is there a qualified group that could fill the power vacuum that would result if we intervened in a serious way.

I don't think Honey badger Putin (btw hilarious) can afford to commit necessary resources to secure Syria in any meaningful way either. Maybe if oil was trading in the $100s and he didn't have Ukraine to worry about, and it was far earlier in the conflict.

We obviously have to keep the problem contained with use of both military and non-military means (cut off ISIS $$ for one), but ultimately have to accept that getting mixed up in this is nuts.
I was hoping that I wasn't going to have to add the "of course, unless the thing that ultimately owned the software was based out of another country" qualifier to that statement.

As I read it, nothing in the quoted TPP section precludes software purchasers from making access to source code a requirement of purchase. It prohibits governments from blocking the sale of "foreign-produced" software in their country if the software owner refuses to make the source code available.

Walking Dead Road to Survival Cheat: Hack Coins
Telstra is the privatisation of the old government postmaster general (well after the split from mail post). The government department owned the copper, and telstra retained it as part of the privatisation.

As part of this agreement Telstra had to provide equal access to its network, and had to charge the same price for all users, so that the cost of calls was the same for people in regional areas (even though maintenance cost more).

Most of the issues relating to Austrlia's internet relate to the cost of overseas transit of information. There are only a few cables between Australia and the rest of the world, and that is the large driver of cost or at least it was in the early 00s
Nobody should be required to charge a true fair cost. Competition should exist that makes that the workable choice.
Which is not an issue, because I pass a grocery store every day, so I can buy every day only a few items, meaning I never have to carry much.

And if I want to buy furniture – these are a thing: https://yeswecandoalmostanythingbybike.files.wordpress.com/2... (Or I can just rent a car).

I’ve been doing this for over a year now, no issues.

On the uni campus is a small mall, too, or I can take 2 bus stations to the downtown area where I can literally buy anything, and it’s easy to transport, too.

Hell, I’ve seen 2 students who bought one of these https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/91/Handtruc... and transported 3 boxes of beer with them in the bus.

Lots of old people use normal hand trolleys for transporting groceries via transit or by foot.

There are trailers for bikes.

It’s really not an issue. (Also, while still living with my parents, we all buy our own stuff ourselves – even my 12yo sister does so. That reduces the amounts one person has to buy, too)
>People who judge other people more harshly for their actions generally judge themselves pretty harshly too.

That sounds like the Jungian or MBTI J/P divide. When such person has good self esteem, that same trait makes him/her decisive "natural" leader.

But that theory is not in fashion right now. So take everything I said as speculation.
> But it’s not that simple. The “cable” lane traffic (let’s call it Lane 1) includes not just traditional pay TV but also a host of data services — which today could be Stream and tomorrow could be telemedicine, business conference services, or anything else. And Lane 1 uses the internet protocol! This means that data packets are routed around independently, both upstream and downstream, and all that efficient internet magic is happening. From the user’s perspective, when he or she interacts with these things it will “feel” just like online, internet services are responding.

I think this definitely violates the spirit of net neutrality even in its current form. However, I don't see how they can move from streaming services which are sourced much further down the line than any internet traffic to dynamic traffic that needs total contact with the internet proper. From what I can tell, Comcast is arguing this service doesn't violate FCC regulations because it essentially works the same as on-demand cable. The media available for streaming is located close to the customer so it can be downloaded once from the internet proper and then streamed on demand without incurring any of the more valuable bandwidth further up the chain. I don't even think they need to prioritize the streaming traffic over regular traffic, since it is only eating into the much more plentiful local bandwidth.

If this distinction evaporates (as it would for telemedicine, business conference services, etc.), then they'd clearly violate the letter of FCC's net neutrality regulations. The fact that they used IP seems irrelevant; using anything but IP would require huge investment in custom hardware, so I don't see that as evidence of a future general internet services Master Plan (past the current streaming media Master Plan coming to fruition). To be honest, I'm somewhat on the fence about closing this loophole (though more towards the side of closing it) because it really is just like on-demand cable. It's clear that the data caps are being used in a predatory way, but I'm not sure that is the way to attack it.

I'm intrigued by the author's proposed solution, but it seems like something of a moonshot.

Self-driving cars can’t disrupt urban transport systems, because they don’t solve the issue.

The issue is that everyone wants their own, big, car, and everyone wants to use them at the same time.

During the morning commute you have over a hundred times more cars on the road than in the late evening, at 10pm, for example.

The only solution that allows the streets not to be completely overwhelmed by cars is to put the cars underground, or on elevated roads, or use more efficient systems.

40 cars vs. one bus. Self-Driving cars don’t help in urban environments at all.

Many cities already suggest to just use P+R instead of using cars downtown.
I think that's a more legitimate use case than this one.
Absolutely - strict adherence to any ideology assumes that that ideology is correct in all cases. I've always considered politics to be like an inverted pendulum with "we the people" as the balance controller. Forces are always present that create instability, so we need to continually make corrections by pushing back in the right direction. Tipping to far towards any ideology can cause catastrophic failure.

Also, there is another reason to keep a diversity of ideologies: they serve as a check on each other. For example, allowing either capital or labor to gain too much power tends to cause problems. It is the competition between them that keeps power from consolidating on one ideology.

(for a better description of that idea, see http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/dec/08/david-simon-cap... )

Sold out how? They tried but at some point it was a lost cause with every other relevant browser and the content industry pushing for DRM. Within a few years, users would have been unable to access services like Netflix in Firefox and switched to other browsers. How would that have helped save the web?

With double the market share, maybe Mozilla could have pushed back longer and harder, but unfortunately that's not the reality we live in anymore.
Javascript is a fun language, but its laissez-faire nature and occasionally weird semantics lend themselves easily to the development of poor practices. Fortunately, there are several linting tools, such as jshint, which analyze code and complain about such things; I'd suggest taking a look at jshint's documentation, which is a veritable catalog of things it's easy to get wrong in JS and have come back later to bite you. I'd suggest even more strongly installing jshint and using it on your code; it's easy (just "npm install -g jshint" and you're off and running) and highly beneficial.

I'd also suggest that it's worth your while to take advantage of the JS dev community's excellent culture around automated testing; while that's a slightly more complicated topic, it is only slightly so, and I've found that a solid test suite, plus a coverage tool to ensure it doesn't leave anything out, is even better for improving and maintaining code quality than just a linter by itself -- jshint can catch stylistic and structural errors, but only unit tests will catch logic errors and regressions introduced by a new change. If you're (understandably) bewildered by the variety of testing tools available -- it seems like somebody comes out with a nifty new one every week or so -- then I'd suggest you can hardly go wrong with these:

* jshint, as already described

* Mocha, a flexible and reliable test framework

* Istanbul, a coverage report generator

* Grunt, a build tool whose plugin architecture simplifies integrating them

For an example of how they work together, you might take a look at https://github.com/aaron-em/same-encoder, where I use them all in support of a library providing functionality which I think is neat and probably no one else cares about. No doubt there are much better examples, but none come to mind quite so readily, and this codebase being as small as it is, it should be able to serve as a decent overview without being so big you'll get bogged down in it. In particular, /Gruntfile.js demonstrates how to tie all these disparate tools together for quick invocation with a single command like 'grunt validate', which I find makes it a lot more likely I will actually remember to run them; also take a look in /test/unit for an example of how Mocha tests are actually written.

Oh, the irony! Malcolm Turnbull paid Telstra for the copper networks so that the government could own them again. He did this so that nobody else could get fibre to the home.

I feel a bit sorry for him. He was forced into this by Tony "Shirt-front" Abbott, who knew nothing about technology (or how to run a country, for that matter). Now he's stuck with it - a millstone around our new Prime Minister's neck.

I guess the intense destabilization and white-anting now going on in the LNP will distract from this.

Well, putting code in the root of your file is generally the problem to such things, I would argue. Granted, I don't know about how that is necessary when it comes to "register maps" and "wrapped c++ libraries". But I'd imagine you should be encapsulating them away anyways and that would include fixing large startup time by design.

LE has been covered for months now in all major (online) trade magazines and web sites, like Heise's c't and iX, Golem, Chip etc.

Additionally, .de is the most popular CCTLD, second only to .com, according to Wikipedia (I'm not sure what that is based off, new registrations or total registrations, though).
Revenue sharing arrangement doesn't mean Mozilla included Pocket for money. Does Pocket even make money at a scale that could be remotely interesting to Mozilla? I very much doubt it.

I also doubt that Telefonica makes significant money with Hello. I can't even imagine a business model around this feature.

I suspect Mozilla was just opportunistic here and made those arrangements in case these features happen to generate revenue some day somehow.
I installed on even older MacBook Debian Unstable (with part from experimental), Plasma 5 environment (gnome doesn't work because old Intel card supports only to OpenGL 2.1) without any problems and even full fledged KWin.
