This reasoning is all based on valid, but technical issues for the hosting side.
A general rule for any customer-facing business is to put the customer first. I could list 200 different reasons why you should make the customer register an account with their email address before they can purchase something for you. However, if you put the customer first, in many cases it is easier for them if they don't have to do that. Having the www before the domain name adds unnecessary visual clutter and from the customers point of view, an unnecessary redirect before they can get to your site. A lot of sites use minimalist style everywhere, and it's great. Having the www there for technical reasons is putting the user second in those cases.
Right now, companies look at only your timely historical credit payments to determine credit risk

I have to disagree with the above quote. That is not only what they used. This should shed more light http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/218126 https://www.calcxml.com/do/article?id=751719129&cat=credit

Ironically, a watch is just fine for taking phone calls. The Apple Watch can do it; I've used it a couple times when my phone was in the other room or I was driving and it was a lifesaver. It's actually a fair bit more convenient than speaking into a phone since it's lighter. Only problem is it's always on speaker, but in many cases where you don't have a phone handy, that's what you'd use anyway.

The reason you still need a phone is because we now use a phone for lots of tasks that used to require a desktop computer.
And was there an extradition agreement (I mean the actual specific paperwork or court decision for Snowden's case, not just the abstract international agreement)? Shouldn't the U.S. get that in order before they send an actual plane? I am not U.S. taxpayer, but it's at least a waste of money otherwise..
I can't for the life of me figure out why web browsers don't yet do a query for an SRV record named _http._tcp.example.com when the user browses to example.com.
For competition, it makes sense not to allow motors. But why is this also somehow taboo for recreational cyclists? That's something I never understood. They pay thousands for carbon fiber bikes and special wheels all to make pedaling easier, but they could spend a fraction of that on electric assistance which could have the same effect - do less work to ride the same distance.
301 redirect the naked domain to the www and you can keep telling people the same thing - they will be redirected to the www version seamlessly.

Completely agree but still Apple has again some advantages since they own both hardware and software so this means in future once Apple get their design improved it might be better than Android Wear. But also i'm looking what traditional Watches Makers like Tag Heuer and Fossil will do with Android Wear.

The article says:

"Should I redirect no-www to www?

Yes.

Redirection ensures that visitors who type in your URL reach you regardless of which form they use, and also ensures that search engines index your canonical URLs properly."
Yes, but the submarine was once sci-fi too :)
APL for fun, not profit here.
Welp, stupidly I dropped the www with zero research because I saw others do it. Love the explanation of why keeping the www is useful.
The results seem lack luster.
This is one huge advantage to GMail for business. When I joined a group/company I could go and read the entire engineering@ or bd@ ML (called Google Groups, I believe) from start to finish. I don't know if other email systems do this but it's something I kinda can't live without anymore.

Doesn't help when people send to non-ML or individual emails, but it works wonders for ML and distribution lists.
Planes are fungible. Are we supposed to believe that the CIA has zero other reasons to want a plane in Europe? It's just about Snowden?

It's not FUD. It's a fact.
I despise group chat. In 2 years, I've gone from mostly enjoying doing remote consulting/freelancing, to mostly hating it, all because most clients now want/require me to participate in non-stop chat sessions on Hipchat, Slack, or their company's internal group chat.

There's very little productive going on in those group chats. Far more socializing than anything else. Memes in particular abound. And the interruptions are constant, driving my productivity to a fraction of what it should be otherwise.

Really, email was great, and 10 years of freelancing taught me to be a very good communicator on email (maybe even over communicating).

Now all that is ruined, and I'm trying (unsuccessfully so far) to bootstrap a software company so I'll no longer have to spend my days chatting about trivial matters on Slack when I have work to do.
I worked a lot on a legacy system developed in Progress ABL (formerly unknown as Progress 4GL).
I am still working on that system, but I am mostly an analyst now and don't really write code (only short scripts to extract data).

We still use it because a core application has been developed in it for the last 20 years, and replacing it with something else is currently unfeasible.

It's a sort of PL/SQL for a non-relational DBMS. It recently (last 5 years?) got OO extension - the product is still used/mantained/extended.

To be honest, I doubt that "we could learn" much from it. I mean "RDBMS were not just a fad, after all" is not something we need to learn, right? (and no, it's not part of the NOSQL family, it is just old and odd).
Some other lessons we don't really need to learn now are, off the top of my head:

- I think we don't really need foreign keys, folks

- What about something like a virtual table that only exists in memory but which allows you to optionally revert any changes on it by doing a rollback? (except that if you do that you also rollback any changes to the real tables, of course)

- Views are just a passing fad, also, foreign keys are for sissies - data integrity is done in your application.

- You know what? we could do query optimization at compile time instead of at runtime, it will be easier for us to write the query planner, even if this also mean that if you add an index later you have to recompile everything.

- You keep harping on this concept of foreign keys. Listen, just use a strict name convention for fields and things will sort fall in piec... I mean in place by themselves.

- Function/Procedure signatures are not really hard enforced so... if you have a function with 23 parameters and you call it with 22 (or 24) it will bomb at runtime because the compiler will not warn you.

- Speaking of signatures... we all know that dates are really an epoch plus a real, no? So I think it's sorta ok if you pass a number to a procedure that has a date as input parameter...

Some of the points mentioned above might have been mitigated in the more current version (or will be in the next one) except for the foreign indexes because those will stay like that forever (officially declared in their roadmap 2 months ago).
Unless they did something else and used Snowden as a distraction.
The US operates 5,638 military aircraft, including 222 C-17A Globemasters, 261 C-130H Hercules planes, and 104 C-130Js.

The Strategic Airlift Capability has 3 C-17s.

The SAC is, frankly, a symbolic gesture to say, "Yes, we're going to include everyone." The bulk of the heavy lifting is done by standard USAF planes.

Yes. I do this currently, and it works great. But not everyone does, so the security team has to keep abi compatibility.

Head scratching That was...kind of my whole point. Anyway, openssl is planned to become private, so I just need to wait a bit (maybe Allan will get it into FreeBSD-11? see[1]).

> All of that came from governments, though. I'm not sure what the actual people think.

I think it is important not to say "Most of Europe would not be ok with that" when what one means is "European governments would publicly object to that". The US government, for instance, does many things that the public at large disapproves of, and public governmental statements are not necessarily representative of what the government is actually advocating behind closed doors.

In otherwords, without public opinion polls, we are at least two levels removed from knowing whether "Most of Europe would not be ok with that."
If you on Windows phone then yeah, most of them are probably shallow, slow, and badly integrated. iOS might not be a great platform on its own but its got some of highest quality applications of any platform. As for badly integrated -- they're all more integrated than web sites.

Given there are literally millions of applications I'm pretty sure you've only tried literally 0.01% of all of them. Not exactly the best way to judge an entire platform.
Official and robust threaded message support would go a long way towards making Slack better.

There's a very good chance the DK<->US extradition treaty could block the extradition of Edward Snowden.

>6. In respect of a military offense.
Agreed. What watch don't you have to take off daily and put it back on your wrist the very next day? I personally have no issues with the charging aspect. I mainly use mine for notifications and the occasion siri for timers / reminders.

Developing a linear narrative is a good part of why revision control systems and issue trackers exist. You use them to explain the evolution of the code base.
Sure, for instance ULA has plans to mine the moon for propellant. Here's the short version but you can google "Cislunar 1000" for more.

The documents released were in response to Peter Kofod's request for information about the airplane itself.

"Justitsministeriet kan ikke oplyse, hvorvidt ministeriet er i besiddelse af materiale omfattet af den del af din anmodning om aktindsigt, der angår korrespondance mellem danske og amerikanske myndigheder vedrørende Edward Snowden."

Translated: "The Department of Justice can not say whether the Ministry is in possession of material of your request for access to documents relating to correspondence between Danish and US authorities regarding Edward Snowden."

Well no it does not unexec on other platforms. And the figures in the article suggest it is annoyingly slow to start on other platforms. This is all about making the Gnu editor work well on the Gnu OS. It builds and runs elsewhere but startup is slow.
I love how Sophos quotes a source that has the wrong bill number, proving that neither Sophos nor AP fact-checked it at all.
There are old open bugs for this against most major browsers. See e.g. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14328

For me, this would allow me to have domain names that point to various HTTP/HTTPS based services behind my single outward-facing IPv4 address. As-is, I have to memorize what non-standard ports they're on.
Thank you kindly. I knew about the mythical month, but the others are completely new to me.
Less on the "impossible" aspect, more on the "really bad things happen when justice is treated as black and white."

> You would have to gut social programs to pay for it

Probably not that much. We need defense force, we don't need to "police" the world (which really means imperialism). We don't need nuclear capabilities.

Also, the relation between defense and social spending is tenuous at best. Both scale linearly with the size of the economy. Defense spending can actually be beneficial in creating jobs and improving technology.
CIA wouldn't be doing their job if they didn't have plans. I'm sure they have plans for plenty events more unlikely than the president asking them to go get Snowden.
Or VB.NET, which is also a very nice language.
I think a lot of the unreal quality of lunar photos is the lack of atmosphere removing many of the cues our visual system uses to perceive a scene, particularly depth perception. The clarity of these new, HD pictures only exacerbates that.
Note that there isn't something especially mystic or technologically important about old Hasselblad cameras.

It's just that they are medium format cameras, and used larger size film, which gives more resolution.

But that's not unique to Hasselblad -- lots of companies had (and some still have) medium format analog cameras at the time.
Has something like nix been considered for alpine? I think it would be really great for use in containers since it has the built in ability to garbage collect unused dependencies.
I can't help feeling that the Apple Watch is more or less a prototype. It reminds me of the first generation iPod, which also did not sell terribly well. That first iPod looked like a high school shop project, basically a laptop hard drive with a piece of Lucite screwed on top. But it had the clickwheel, which was genuinely innovative, and at the time iTunes was a competitive option for managing a music collection. You could see the potential in the platform. It may not be as easy to see where the Apple Watch is going, but I think the difference between the next-gen and this first model will be as great as the difference between the original iPod and the later iPod Touch.
And before email, people expected you to be available between 9am and 5pm via phone. I think you just have to clearly communicate that the group chat, in your case, doesn't benefit the working relationship. So it has nothing to do with group chat per se, but more with how you communicate to your freelancing clients, no?
First driverless buses travel public roads in the Netherlands
Furthermore, this is not even to that point. The article only claims that they PLANNED such a rendition. Government agencies have plans for thousands of scenarios! I can only imagine how people would feel if they knew the details of the likely hundreds of contingency plans in place to handle a wide variety of natural disasters and exchanges of nuclear weapons, among others.

The real question is what was the likelihood that this plan would be executed, and who makes that call (Obama I'd assume?). The CIA probably had 3 flavors of extradition on Obama's desk as soon as they had any idea where he was - that's their job.
This came up again during http2. The browser vendors just aren't willing to take on the extra latency at the start of the request.
I'm not sure that papers being theoretical means that they're less rigorous. You could argue the opposite as well; they're more rigorous if you prove strict upper bounds whereas practical papers just require you to implement something and measure it.

I don't think either one is better or worse than the other; they all have their place and are just different.

I'm transferring to a UC in computer science soon. This is the last year in which computer science will not be considered an "impacted major" at my school. A sign of the times. Recently everyone's been talking about making CS mandatory in high school. And looking around on the web I see that some of the resources for learning computer science are very nice indeed. Is it petty to be worried that there will soon be so many computer science people in the world that I wont be able to make a living in computer science? I feel like a hypocrite for being an advocate for single payer healthcare, which is a step forward but might destroy a lot of jobs in the insurance business, and simultaneously hoping that computer science remains somewhat exclusive.

We also strongly discourage users from using naked domains, unless they have a DNS host that supports ALIAS records or CNAME flattening.

Due process in regard to which laws. I presumably would be a violation of Danish law, but under American law it isn't. It's more of an insult to Denmark than anything else. Which is why it's not typically done.

But if the CIA just dragged him back to America and turned him over to the US Marshals it wouldn't impact his charges.

There is no recognized right to be a fugitive.
> it's like it never happened, no-one even mentions it anymore in the mainstream.

IIRC, the whole idea of gradually releasing documents instead of dumping them all at once was to avoid this. Although, I haven't seen any new documents in quite a while. I wonder what happened. Are the rest of them not as important as the ones already released?

Criminal complaint against Snowden is from political crime.

Political crimes against one country are not automatically crimes in other countries. EU countries don't send Chechen fighters to Russia when Russia charges them. US is not going to send head of the CIA's Germany station back to Germany to be charged for spying.

ps. EU parliament passed a resolution (mostly symbolical) that called on European Union member states to “drop any criminal charges against Edward Snowden, grant him protection and consequently prevent extradition or rendition by third parties, in recognition of his status as whistle-blower and international human rights defender”.
Group chat also suffers from the same spam issues as email (well, not phishing, but unsolicited). It's particularly bad in Slack, because every message consumes tons of space, even in compact modes (which most people don't use)

them: put notification X in channel!
me: okay, but let's keep it targetted and filter for important issues only
them: you worry too much
them: since we're doing X notifications, let's do Y! People need to know Y.
me: okay, it's getting spammy now, need to rein this in
them: yeah, you're right
them: so, we're putting Z notifications in now, and expanding X and Y
me: please, the horror. everyone will move to another channel
them: but people need to know these things!
me: does EVERYONE need to know that dev Foo changed status on jira ticket Bar?
them: you're missing the point
them: let's add more projects, and we tick this 'send notifications' box, right?
me: no
them: sure we do, that's what we do for other projects
et al.

In short order, a new channel is made for chat to avoid the spam, and the old channel become an unvisited dumping-ground for notifications. Then someone starts 'perhaps if we also put just the important notifications in the new channel'...

I wouldn't say that we exaggerate, we give recognizable symbols. For example, in many cartoons, female cartoon characters have eyelashes drawn on their eyes to distinguish them as females, children and adults alike. Now this actually makes no sense because men naturally have thicker eyelashes, and what those eyes were originally supposed to represent were mascara, but then it caught on as a recognizable symbol for being female, despite having no basis in reality. And it's crazy how effective it none the less is.
