Firstly, 15% supporting ISIS is a huge amount of people.
Secondly, there are lots of anecdotes about Islamic refugees throwing Christian ones overboard, or maltreating them at refugee centers and so forth too.
Thirdly, you don't mention what solution you are thinking of that you claim we are all for or against, and that we all need to work together for, so I cannot really be for or against it.

Polls and anecdotes are not as good as internet discussion fora for getting to grips with how a particular culture actually thinks.
What makes you think I need to shame you into this?

You're there trying to imply that the paris attacks are a result of immigration (which they were not), as if you knew anything about my country. Exactly the same thing you do to muslims, you do it to me.

I've lived in romania, so I definitely recognize your mentality there. Looking at your comment history, you seem to almost exclusively attack other people, and most of them are on matters of ethnicity. I don't need any further proof that you are not, overall, a good person in terms of culture and acceptance.

If after all this -- all those comments, those attacks, those outrageous claims... if after all this you still yourself think you're in the right? There's nothing I can do to convince you you're not.
Most laptops I use move transparently between sleep and hibernation when the laptop is closed. No use intervention required.
It's treated the same as any other Windows VM (and thus depends on the product/edition and what channel you acquired the license from).

In practical terms, the proper license would usually be a MSDN subscription; they're intended for development and testing, which is what Vagrant is mostly used for.

(As an aside, the Technet ISOs have been discontinued for a while now; time-limited evaluation licenses are available instead.)
In Windows 10 you can snap between 2 and 4 windows in custom sizes and if you snap two you can drag the separator and adjust both of their sizes at the same time. It's one of those great little features that doesn't get advertised enough in my opinion.
Since the amount of Bitcoins introduced into world daily is near constant (except for the scheduled halving of the rewards every few years), SOMEBODY is selling most of the freshly mined coins without disrupting the market.

It doesn't really matter how high the difficulty is or who the miner is the coins are mined and most of them sold.

There might be a small fraction of coins which are still mined in pools using outdated miners and those people don't bother selling them coins(fractions of coins that is).

It has been accepted wisdom that most mining operations sell most/all of their mined coins.
your link works fine, the one above had a bad double quote at the end
>No one is afraid of the ecological cost of crypto currencies ?

I am. But this is a drop in the bucket compared to financial sectors that deal with "real" money. Really, isn't nearly all modern money "virtual"? Nevermind the fact that a lot of money only exists electronically, modern money doesn't actually physically represent anything. Therefore: virtual.
I wasn't trying to attack the OP. I was offering my interpretation of his comment along with the opinion that maybe being chivalrous doesn't make him a bad person. It might just be that he was brought up to believe that it's socially unacceptable not to be chivalrous.
Alibaba’s biggest investments of 2015
The other odd thing I find odd about these cases is the curious absence of genuine offense. I remember watching the Justine Sacco thing unfold and noticing that nobody really seemed particularly upset - to the contrary, people seemed positively giddy about the whole thing. Very little "how dare she say that?" and quite a lot of "haha she's toast, isn't this terrific?".

In a way, I guess dogpiling on someone like that is probably a lot easier when you know nothing about them except the thing you're reacting to.
They demonstrate MS Office in the slideshow.
It reminds me of FVWM, but I'm not sure. Last time I used that was 10 years ago in a (back then) 10 year old computer which barely had any RAM.

Edit: with a bit of research, I found it could be Mwm (or a derivative/predecessor?). In the Wikipedia article what struck me the most was the "Compliance" section: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motif_Window_Manager#Complianc...
A gold standard makes debt deflation routine whereas fiat money systems make it much easier to adjust to systemic capital flows.

In essence the problems faced by Greece are due to a reinvention of the gold standard despite there not being gold involved this time around.

Point being that Gold only "worked" for a small elite and it was largely devastating to the rest.
The subscore at the bottom of the article for "ecosystem" was given a rating of 6 (out of 10). To me, a "6" would mean "above-average".

Yet, the review actually says:

"What’s not encouraging is the state of apps for the Lumia 950 XL. I wanted to switch back to using this as my daily device over the past two weeks, but I simply couldn’t hack it. It stayed in my pocket while I used my iPhone 6S Plus, simply because so many apps are still missing or inadequate on Windows Phone. I’ve been to a lot of events recently and need Periscope to stream from the Verge account, or to use Snapchat. I simply can’t do this with the Lumia 950 XL, and I can’t even access our Trello work app. If I can’t get my work done on the move, it’s really difficult to switch back to a Windows phone.

Microsoft’s original plan was to support Android apps on Windows 10 Mobile, but that seems very unlikely now. Most of the third-party apps are just poor ports from iOS and Android, and lack key new features. The Twitter and Instagram apps are still depressing examples of the state of Windows, and I don’t feel like much has changed over the past year. Microsoft’s mobile store needs some serious love, but it’s running out of time."

Seems like the "ecosystem" score should actually have been a "2" or "3".

Followup clarification to the replies: For those who think a score of 2 or 3 is wrong, The Verge's own explanation for the scoring [1] says...

...
2: Slightly better than garbage, but still incredibly bad.
3: Not a complete disaster, but not something we’d recommend.
...
6: Good. There are issues, but also redeeming qualities.
...

Granted, those score explanations are for the "final score" instead of subscores but it seems reasonable to assume the subscores follow a similar internal rationale. In the two paragraphs about the app ecosystem, the writer didn't mention any "redeeming qualities". Therefore a score of 6 is inconsistent.

Blackberry's CEO has already indicated that the company is willing and able to defeat device encryption for law enforcement:

"At BlackBerry, we understand, arguably more than any other large tech company, the importance of our privacy commitment to product success and brand value: privacy and security form the crux of everything we do. However, our privacy commitment does not extend to criminals,"

http://blogs.blackberry.com/2015/12/the-encryption-debate-a-...

In the same blog he says the company doesn't put backdoors in, but how do they plan in defeating Android's hardware encryption if there isn't one?

MVC !=== separation of concerns. Separation of concerns is something else. If "MVC is just exactly the same as separation of concerns", then, again, we don't need "MVC" as a concept. We already have "separation of concerns".

Again, this is why I find the term loathsome as it is actually used. Not only do people not think about it, they, like, actively won't think about it. Anyone who actually tries to nail down "what exactly is MVC" will find themselves coming up empty. It is an undefined term, and should be discarded for pretty much everybody who isn't writing a CAD/CAM app, not used as some sort of vague template for "all good design".

You've progressively shrunk the goalposts in every post in this series until you can't help but hit MVC. That's not useful.
> The website publishes an average of 1,200 pieces of content a day with increasing amounts geared toward social media. Recent examples include “15 awkward photos of world leaders that explain 2015” and a spoof video called “The Galactic Civil War” that tells the story of Star Wars as if it had been directed by documentarian Ken Burns.

> Analytics dashboards will soon be added to reporters’ computers, and traffic figures will eventually be looked at as part of performance reviews, Mr. Baron said.

Having traffic figures as a goalpost in journalist's performance reviews is worrying. Especially when the company is churning out 1200 pieces a day. Sounds like Bezos is pivoting the Washington Post from news to entertainment. Hard to tell the difference these days.

> How would bitcoin's power consumption stack up if it were tasked with servicing tens of millions of transactions per second?

There is no way to do this calculation. At the moment Bitcoin mining uses, let's say 150MW and can do around 4 transactions per second. If you gave the network a 1000 times more hashing power, you'd be using 150GW, and could handle... around 4 transactions per second.
Seems a bit inefficient to scan through all files all the time, doesn't it? I suppose with SSD:s and enough RAM it won't do terrible things to the usability of the computer while doing a scan, but still. If I did something like this I'd probably pair it with a database of received_at + path mappings that's populated when mail is received.
Well, I seriously use my hellokitty.com email address.
Agreed, I've always thought of Winter as December, January, February. In fact I can't think I've ever had a discussion with anybody who seriously considered 21st as start of Winter, or late June as beginning of Summer. Seems like common sense.

> if you emigrate, it is YOUR responsibility to integrate.

It's both parties' responsibility. Don't get me wrong; it's mostly your job... but the government also has to step in and make the same efforts they make towards their own citizens. Anyway, those seem to be details; I think we agree on this point more or less.

> People aren't worried about Shintoist terrorism for some reason.

And in some unnamed country, a majority of people are not worried about gun violence despite it taking far more lives than muslim terrorism. It's all a blame game on video games, mental health, etc...

The majority of people are worried about what their media makes them worried about. I'm no different - I nearly exclusively worry about what I read about. I can't worry about things I don't know about. My only choice there is to seek as much information as possible, to avoid merely mirroring the opinion of whoever wrote the piece I read.

The summer solstice marks the beginning of summer astronomically just as the winter solstice marks the beginning of astronomical winter.

Midsummer is celebrated on the longest day in some cultures, on the solstice in others, but does not denote the middle of astronomical summer.

Meteorologic summer and winter currently begin weeks before the solstice. https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/news/meteorological-versus-astrono... has a discussion on the difference.
Entrepreneurship 101: How to Say Goodbye to Your Boss and Start Your Business
I became fluent in Russian after 2-3 months of living in Moldova. I had a crash course in Russian beforehand, but couldn't say a whole lot more than basic phrases before I got to Moldova and couldn't understand much either. Obviously you need to study (grab a good grammar book). But I ended up studying less than an hour a day when I was there. What I did do was speak Russian as much as possible. You have to force yourself to use the language. What set me apart from the people I was working with (in terms of using the language) was that I was not afraid to fail. I just continued on and tried my best. I gave myself no chance to fail. If you aren't living in country that speaks the desired foreign language it is a lot harder. I took French in school for over 10 years and another two years in university and I still can't speak it. My grammar is very good in French and I can read it fairly well, but can't speak much.

It is all over the place. Cars play the phone musics, and answer the phone - the two useful actions for it, they could also sync GPS targets, but that requires cooperation with Google/Apple.

I downvoted you because your comment adds nothing of value and is simply a long-winded "I didn't like your comment because reasons."

I would downvote my own comment if I could.
It's dumbfounding to me that we can continue to have this conversation and not touch at all on the continuous reduction in the taxes that have historically funded state schools. Easy access to capital and increased demand resulting from the competitive job market are certainly major factors, but to absolve the boomer generation of their hand in causing the problem (or go so far as to demand the universities shoulder the costs over taxpayers as in the 1987 article, talk about pot calling the kettle black in terms of the greed department) is absurd. As far as I can tell in a casual search, state funding for higher education has been nearly monotonically decreasing since the 80s (source for numbers on cuts in the last decade http://www.cbpp.org/research/states-are-still-funding-higher...). Breaking the "I've got mine, time to cut taxes" culture will go much farther in addressing the issue of education costs than demanding less students have access to financial assistance.
Aw, and here I was hoping for clips from SquareOne TV...
That's kind of a ridiculous quote. Aren't most people "just doing their jobs" every day?

Hmmm. You know how people claim that anonymity is the reason people act shitty on the internet? It seems to me what they fail to mention is "If they weren't anonymous, we would be free to attack them - that would shut them up".

I'm not so sure everyone would shut up. Some people are bold wrt their opinions. We might even create more such people..

Then people would eventually ignore the mere threat of repercussions. Now, we'd actually have to attack them, to make the repercussions real - and this is where it starts...
Why does it need to be jammed into that size of paper? Making it bigger would relax the most significant design constraint. Maybe it is this size for some reason; maybe not.
I restart every now and again just to make sure it still works, and that everything I expect to get loaded, gets loaded. Nothing worse than being obliged to do it for whatever reason and finding out the hard way (while you're in the middle of something else...) that something's gone wrong.

It also puts the computer back into a known state, and gives you smaller PIDs/thread IDs/etc. again...
New synthesizer music on Edison wax cylinder
Yes, except in this case it appears that the defendant was using PGP on the device, and BB was not involved in the decryption effort at all. So either nation-state compromise of PGP itself (unlikely), or key compromise (more likely).

Edit: I wouldn't dismiss compromise of PGP out of hand entirely, even though it sounds crazy. Both the judge and NFI denied the defense the ability to audit the NFI's methods. I can't imagine hamstringing the defense like this if it was a simple case of "your dumbass client left his key in plaintext on the device". So there is a very slight fishy smell, here.
It's a stretch:

> Smugglers want to get drugs to the lucrative American market.
> Border Patrol are told to stop them cause drugs are bad.
>Politicians enact more border patrol regulations to counteract our strict drug policy.

I'm inferring that OP wants border patrol to be political activists and fight for better drug laws instead of just "doing their jobs".

Of course, if the proponents of astrology choose to present it in a non-falsifiable way, then it is not science from the get-go.

When astrology was conceived, it was actually respectable science, if that concept had existed then, and it led to the development of astronomy. If you can predict the flooding of the Nile by the rising of Sirius, what else might the heavens show you?

At least I feel like. 8 brought some really needed upgrades (for example we have a new form of multiple inheritance). It is not perfect but I think with the Stream api and the lambdas they simplified things enough for people to at least give it a try.
I guess, but CBP does more than just deal with just the smuggling of drugs so it's hardly clear that's the point.

Yes the concept was popularized by UNIX, but anyone that spends time doing computer archeology will find similar patterns in other OSes, like the ones I listed.

Don't forget that back then computing was developed in silos, with knowledge only shared at conferences or when researchers switched universities/companies.

So it was quite common that researchers across the globe would come up with similar discoveries.
Concern over privacy, which has been severely compromised by the confiscation of ~65k users' data (including stored email) in an investigation into the actions of one, seems not particularly on offer in this case, where the only significant departure from the norm is that the service is named after a shameless dick joke.
It's pretty common in that part of the world, unfortunately.

I made no such claim: you claimed that integration had failed, and I asked if you had any solutions, while pointing out how why previous methods of integration of foreign populations might no longer work.

So I guess it comes down to a question of which came first - the islamophobia or the violence justified by Islam, and you're claiming it's the islamophobia?

Mathematicians Are Stunned by This Chicago Professor’s New Proof
I understand where parents of victim are coming from adn most probably take the same stance of more harsh paunishment for these crimes. But entirely reducing the age for juvenile some how does not sound right. The reasons are
1. While the kids are more clever now a days I see not much done to to improve morality in education -- Not even as much as physical education periods
2. Internet in hand means lots of wrong things show as right, i personally know adults who beleive the news or forwarded news like items in WhatsApp is right (99% of them are wrong) and actual news website/new watching is redcuing close to zero with youngsters
3. No vent out for youngsters i.e. not enough parks, parents pushing youngsters to money - no matter what. i.e. If you tell your kid it is ok to cheat govt or give bribe now-a-days and say that eve teasing is bad then they take either both bad (if they are intelligent) or both ok.
4. There is a serious need for parent to know and teach kids about internet - about 60% parents know kids can watch nasty stuff on internet but they just dont know how bad it is and how to educate kid on what is right and what is wrong, i would even encourage indian telecom providers take ownership of teaching this to parents and kids
How does that work where you're located? At least here (Finland) it wouldn't matter what the odds are when you place the bet, since the payout is based on the odds at the moment the race starts (that is, if you bet 1 € when the odds are 14:1 and then the odds go down to 9:1 you win 9 €). Of course here the state has monopoly on gambling, so it might work very differently.
