I honestly don't know; it's interesting that in Europe, the same culture - certainly present in the nineteenth century - has atrophied very quickly after WWII.

I'm not sure how to explain that; urbanization? The expansion of the welfare state? Faith in the EU as the promise of enduring peace and prosperity? It happened in most of the Soviet Bloc countries, too, so perhaps the welfare state aspect is key.

In the US, my first guess is that it might have been kept alive, even in suburban and urban communities, because of the exposure to the Cold War paranoia, school drills, and so on. "The Russkies" and the specter of the nuclear apocalypse left an ominous mark on the American psyche.

But you are right, the desire to capitalize on the phenomenon might have played a role, too. On the flip side, Europe is not a very different market; the buyers are a bit more smug and you can't sell guns, but that's about it - so why aren't we seeing more of the "new" prepper culture cropping up on the other side of the pond?
Wow. That reads like some misguided cult text.
With the growing prevalence of things like GitLab, GoGs, and GitBucket I think that GitHub has to thing very long and hard before they make any official statements like this. All someone would need to do is make a central list where you could post a link to your git server and list what projects are on there to make it searchable. I that is done, I see no reason why anyone, with the needed hardware, would stick to github.

I think we are seeing the "end of days" for this open source power house.
>That being said, we're certainly the minority when it comes to users on the platform.

But you're the huge majority of people who give GitHub money. It makes sense not to prioritize the pain points of open-source projects when you lose money by hosting them.

> What I suspect is that over decades PR firms and major brands have executed a rebranding of the old ways, attempting to recast it as 'paranoia culture' or some form of political radicalism. Their campaign likely involves emphasizing the small paranoid faction of this much larger culture on their TV shows and pop media.

I think that the paranoid culture has evolved relatively organically.

As an avid sailor, I've been looking into breaking one of the long standing records of doing multiple circumnavigations back-to-back and food preservation is one area I've been looking into.

It's been extremely difficult to find content that isn't interspersed with articles on weapons (and other paranoid subjects) found in a lot of content online, when all I am looking for is food storage ideas.

I'm a bit flummuxed. Two things stick out. Firstly, PPM is widely used in these contexts. Its just not shouted about. Second, when PPM isn't used, its because its neither YCbCr nor YUV; I've found y2m an easy format. However, its not atypical to just use eat jpeg directly.

Collections are covered by copyright. So even though a recipe is not copyright-able, a book containing recipes is. One of the reasons you will see recipes filled with many paragraphs of filler is that it then becomes a literary work which is covered by copyright.

Having said that, I would be surprised if the majority of code in SO is generally copyright-able. If I ask a question, "How do I initialise an object in C++" and the answer is a few lines of code, I do not think that this is a copyright-able work. It is a technique. Even if the code is long enough to be copyright-able, I don't think using the technique would be considered a derived work.

Whatever the case, scraping portions of SO would be a copyright violation since it is a collection.
yeah, that was a bit strange. By choosing Little Endian, the author would achieve the ability to mmap an uncompressed image file to memory and then use it directly like an array in all contemporary hardware architectures. Not that it's a big deal, but I fail to see why would anyone choose Big Endian in 2016.
What I hate about FreeNAS is that it is not permissive of what kind of disks you put in. I bought a Drobo5N just because I was able to slap any drives I wanted, in any size or configuration and it would just work.

Interesting responses.

I hated work cubicles and office politics, so I started a successful freelancing career.

I dislike working from home because it is too quiet, my mind tends to wander, and I can easily switch to doing a non-work chores on my todo list. I dislike libraries because they are too quiet and "serious", and so my mind tends to wander and I become restless.

I signed up for a co-working space, which seemed a better environment, except I started to feel like I was back in a work cubicle.

So far the only place where I really feel productive is, surprisingly, coffee shops, with some background chatter, good wifi, great seats, maybe a fireplace, and of course, great coffee.

I am trying to start a business providing co-working environments in coffee shops for a small monthly fee split with the coffee shops
There's a difference between "what it does" and "what it can do" however. I mean, whatever well-defined interface is used, hardware design may leave other options open and unused.

Kind of like vmware provides nice interface for folder sharing, but in practice can just write directly to whatever files/memory they want.

Some "can't be handled".

Just because Google or Honda's implementation (based on a camera) is geared toward a specific implementation, doesn't make it the best. Cruise Automation has the right idea with sensor arrays that make fog and rain a non-issue. There are lots of options.
From the USA Today article above, along with this story here, it would seem that government bailed out AIG, which benefited Goldman and a lot of financial institutions that really should have been in a position to "know better", and be prepared to take the loss themselves, while Goldman will happily make sure small home-owners go bankrupt. Or put another way, government pays Goldman 12 Billion for not knowing their business, and Goldman grudgingly passes on 2 billion in consumer relief.

That's a pretty sweet deal for Goldman?

I would assume what's interesting about companies like Amazon and Walmart is that by being more vertically integrated, they can use the cost savings from their retail businesses to subsidize developing and expanding new infrastructure. The same can't be said for companies like Fedex and UPS.
I had the opposite experience. I am on the free student plan for private repos. It has to be renewed annually. It wasn't clear to my how to do so. I asked, and Scott from Github support contacted me in under a minute and sorted it out. I was very impressed.

My guess is that it's a collective name for all the retail systems Amazon are running to manage logistics, inventory, and everything else that makes an e-commerce business tick. A lot of that may well be running on AWS, although whenever that comes up you always hear people mentioning quite a few of their core systems have yet to be migrated.
The remarkable thing is that people still do business with Goldman. Why didn't the CDO debacle undermine people's trust in that firm? Isn't this a complete failure of the market?

That was sort of the idea of BTC, that a decentralized currency would mitigate this. Nakomoto's original paper actually devotes some attention to this, discussing why they don't want to rely on a centralized authority, and in the introduction he writes:

> What is needed is an electronic payment system based on cryptographic proof instead of trust, allowing any two willing parties to transact directly with each other without the need for a trusted third party.

The thing that jumps out to me the most at this point is that Nakomoto also wrote:

> The system is secure as long as honest nodes collectively control more CPU power than any cooperating group of attacker nodes.

And with Heard's article, presuming that the facts are true, which seems to very much be the case, this seems to me the most serious risk to the system.
Or you can just grow a pair.
I would guess that private repos have a much smaller user base, in that that they work for companies where they are trained in specific policies to submit issues and work with the repos. With public repos you're at the mercy of widely differing levels of user experience.

thing is, bzip2 is widespread, unlike lzma not everybody has.

on a technical side, lzma is a better choice. I might add a lzma recommendation, however, in soma cases lzma performs worse than bzip2.

Can you expand on the significance of this difference? I guess you're asserting that the "correct price" is the one that someone will pay for it, and that something is only "incorrectly priced" if no one will buy it. But the point is precisely that no one would have bought these goods for the indicated price had GS not obfuscated what they were selling in the first place. It seems to me that you're really splitting hairs.

"I have back-salary that's overdue. I asked for a timeline. I got no timeline. I said I would sue in a month."

Of course cancer is a result of genetics gone amok, but that's about as useful as saying that death is caused by hypoxia... of course it is, all death is the result of lack of oxygen to the brain.

> velocity is not conserved, energy is conserved. There's no conservation of velocity law

But there is, it's called Conservation of Momentum. It's velocity times mass. Go look it up - it will take just a few seconds on google. I'll wait.

> you would drop a lump of clay, watch it abruptly stop at the floor as it efficiently converts velocity into heat

No, it transferred its velocity to the entire planet.

> Or two billiard balls on a collision course

One has positive velocity, the other negative. They cancel out.

But go try making two billiard balls stop when they are both going the same way (as in your example about particles near the event horizon). You can't. Try it - maybe it will help. You have to transfer the velocity to something else.

I would imagine the key to solving this problem effectively is less about parsing DOM and more about recognizing what content on a page is valuable and relevant.

I could see an algorithm merely trying to find the longest prose on a page, then analyzing it for content and then trying to find other content within other elements that are likely relevant. Armed with this and multiple articles from the same source, you should be able to correlate the two to get a smarter parser that can adapt to changing DOM on each site.
Thinking of it from Apple's perspective what do they gain from opening up these private APIs? They now have a new set of APIs that they have to maintain, document, and support.

Partly because this wasn't Goldman specific behaviour. Those participating were systemically important financial institutions.

If I'm understanding this correctly, it doesn't provide any kind of protection against a compromised operating system. How could it? The encryption is transparent to applications, so the OS could just lie and say that encryption is enabled.

What it does provide is protection against hardware attacks like memory bus snooping, or chilling and extracting DRAM modules.
