All of those services would do just fine charging for their service if they had to. Especially if their competition started doing it too.

I was referring to all the shit that wouldn't survive, like blog spam, scam/malware parked domains, etc. That crap makes up a huge part of the Internet, and nobody will miss it.

Web advertising is on the same level as spam as far as I'm concerned. They both depend on gullible and ignorant people who don't know any better clicking through. Just look at Google search result ads today vs 5 or 10 years ago. It's harder and harder to tell the difference between ads and results because they need to trick people.
So the county and the FBI are blaming each other?

Or is this the FBI carefully parsing words by saying the owner of the phone (i.e. the attacker's employer) tried to reset the password, without mentioning that said reset was done at the FBI's request?
If it is malice - the order for Apple to help should be reversed. If it is incompetence then that bolsters the argument that any backdoor will lead to leaks and unauthorized access to the backdoor, causing more harm to everyone.
Yea I got jobs because people at the other companies said "hey that guy knows a lot about this area you should interview him", and when I interviewed everybody I talked to gave their approval to hire me based upon a technical interview, so in my area it was not possible to get a job based upon simply telling somebody you are good, you actually have to do well in the technical interview. I was a principal level hardware engineer, so not too low level. Maybe some people are getting jobs based upon just a simple recommendation, but I thought based upon the OP's data science area its more applicable to discuss the typical situation where the recommendation is followed by a technical interview. I don't know of a situation where anybody I worked with who got interviewed because their friend recommended them that the friend left then the other guy lost his job after that. But maybe that could happen if that person was really not interviewed well and the hiring manager was kinda clueless as to how bad the guy was..
Uh, no. Neither Ireland nor the UK is in the Schengen. The UK didn't want to be, and Ireland opted out because of the UK. From the BBC[1]:

"The UK and Republic of Ireland have opted out. The UK wants to maintain its own borders, and Dublin prefers to preserve its free movement arrangement with the UK - called the Common Travel Area - rather than join Schengen."

I'm curious what Apple would charge for this "service". If I were CEO, I'd request ten billion dollars. A million or so for the time and manhours, and $9.999 billion for the damage to the company's reputation, stock price, etc., that this will cause -- breaking of a promise that "even Apple can't retrieve your data". Suppose Samsung, a non-American company, jumps on this and says, their phones are truly non-crackable and Samsung would not be able to do it, even if they installed a hacked OS to work around the login failure limit. Boom. Apple has just lost millions of sales. Our heavy handed government hard at work, damaging America's best companies.

The big benefit isn't learning a specific writing style, it's building the eye-hand motor control skills needed to form letters the way your eye intends. Take a glance at the 2nd practice exercise on the OP (two continuous rows of interlocked O's with a vertical zig-zag between them) - very few people have the eye-hand coordination to make those shapes nicely without practice (let alone make them quickly). If you do nothing but practice that one exercise, you'll get 90% of the benefit of the Palmer method and your handwriting will improve noticeably, regardless of what style of handwriting you prefer [0]

[0] yes, this is a semi-anecdotal study, but I go through the drill every five or ten years and each time my handwriting radically improves, and I've watched multiple co-workers go through the same experience (each time after admitting they envy'd my handwriting because they were too embarrassed to write on whiteboards because of their own illegible scrawls)

Shocked I wasn't aware of that! I still think it'll be pretty bad from a business perspective with Northern Ireland losing companies to the Republic and more difficult trading between the two.
The dissonance is accepted in this case because of the repulsive nature of the crimes, as determined by our current social consensus.

The UK most likely will still remain within the EEA even if they'll leave the EU, as resident holders within Iceland, Norway and Switzerland can move around and work within any country within the EEA/EU even without being EU members.

Not to mention that even a vote to exit will take years and there will be provisions to maintain current status it's highly unlikely that the UK will kick out millions of residents not to mention have to take in millions of UK nationals that are living in other EEA countries (which on it's own could cost the UK economy much more in the short term, as when people are forcibly kicked out of their country are quite often not in the best financial position to make that move).

While it's true that the UK takes in a large amount of EU nationals they export almost as many there is a slight difference that the ones that leave the UK often posses high paying jobs in the first place while many individuals that come in come in often as a qualified job seeker meaning that they might receive more benefits at least initially than paying out as far as taxes go.

This situation is also quite common among immigrants from lower income EU countries like Poland and Romania which also historically exported allot of their income back home, it wasn't that uncommon for them to immigrate to the UK for 3-5 years just to make enough money to buy a house in their home country and then return there which is some what of an issue on it's own also.

There probably should be a better process to ensure that there isn't considerable wealth drain on the stronger economies due to economic immigration but more importantly that there isn't a brain and skill drain on the poorer EU members, pretty much any one I've spoken too from Bulgaria and Romania curses the EU more than your average UKIP voter mostly because it seems that joining the EU caused a massive exodus of anyone who could leave for greener fields which often are the most educated and better off people in the first place, those who can actually drive the country forward.
I've been working with (not for) the local police for the last year. Anecdotally, it depends on the cop. The badge and gun carry power, and power attracts the corrupted and corruptible. No one doubts that there are asshole cops.

Most of the officers I talk to are motivated by a strong sense of right and wrong. Some are just happy to be helpful. I talked to one guy who honestly enjoyed answering people's questions about renewing tags and getting a handgun permit.

There are plenty of calm, humble, balanced police officers. What I worry about is a culture of law enforcement that trains them to react with force, disproportionately target minorities and close ranks to any criticism, no matter how valid.
I rather believe that OP is attempting to exclude Ubuntu by mimicking the same knee-jerk reactions they have. I see this totally positively, since Ubuntu's behavior prevents the easy reuse of the OSS they write. Next step is to make upstream difficult to merge with Ubuntu ;)

So plug it back in...?
Indeed it is happening because the political system is broken, but in the exact opposite way from how you have described.

"A small anti-EU, right wing party" - UKIP got nearly 13% of the vote and would probably be part of a coalition government with the Conservative party if we had a proportional representation system. Instead they have 1 MP. The SNP got only 8.6% of the vote and they have 56 MPs.

The referendum is happening because finally the grassroots of the Conservative party prevailed on the parliamentary Conservative party that we had to have one. Polling has historically shown that at least 40% of the country want to leave the EU. All of the traditional parties support the EU membership.

The UK joined an economic community that has somehow transformed into a superstate. You need to have democratic process if you want to make a change that big.
The Council of Europe[2] isn't same as the EU. The countries below [1] have ratified the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.

PNAELV – What is that?
Yea if your job is pretty technical, then being somebody that people "know as the guy/girl that really knows their shit and gets their shit done" is a good place to start. It also helps to ask people about their areas or if you hear somebody is struggling on something help them out from time to time. It goes a long way. For example, there were many times when I would be in a hardware lab and hear that somebody is struggling to properly capture some data on something, so I'd be like "hey I can write you a little script to help out with that.. just gimme 10 mins.." then I'd give it to them and they were happy to have the help, and later others would hear that I could help on that kinda stuff so people start to learn who you are and stuff like that so you build up a positive reputation in the company.
More concerning will be the future of the Good Friday Agreement and the peace in the area.
Fair? Is the truth uncomfortable? Yes. Deal with it. And this company was never fair, at any time, to anyone. With Steve's stint as CEO after a few years he got softer and that was the best era of the company and for everyone else. But the current CEO [edited] turned the ship to be pretty end-user hostile (forced monthly updates on recent products, spying on user), the crude bribing of enterprise CTOs and their products are buggier and less documented then ever before. Devs run away, mobile market share is <1%. The trust is gone.
I really want to believe you're being sarcastic...

In any case, neither the aid nor the 'consequence' you list above would be fixed by magic-ing the EU away.

> pitting Sears company managers against each other in a kind of Lord of the Flies death match

From what I've heard, Google had similar battles between senior leaders and they've been wildly successful. While these policies probably didn't help the situation at Sears, I'd be very hesitant to say they were the cause of the decline.

I think Salon was looking at the situation without enough objectivity in an attempt to discredit a philosophy they find distasteful. And I think people like you who are laying the blame on the implementation may also be attributing too much of the outcome to how the company was run. Sometimes a company is just destined to fail by circumstance. It's very hard for an established company to constantly maintain the fresh perspective necessary to get out in front of the game-changing trends and not be reactive. If it weren't, startups disrupting existing businesses would not be so successful. That Sears stayed at the top for 100 years seems more of an anomaly rather than their failure in the past 30 or so.

Sears isn't the only company of its sort to have problems...just look at JC Penny. I'd be more willing to chalk Sears failure up to Walmart, Target, Amazon, Best Buy and the rest of the newer companies that ate their market by using newer technologies, better managing the supply chain and otherwise adapting to the changing world. Sears got big by changing the game and dominating mail order and it adapted well to the retail department store/mall eras. But they weren't able to transition to the internet, aren't able to compete on price with the lower-margin retailers and aren't considered premium enough to go up-market. There's very little they can offer right now that others can't do better and that would likely be the case no matter which principles they'd used to run their business.

This is going to have wide-reaching consequences no matter what way it goes. Off the top of my head, potential issues include:

* Combined with the sovereign debt crisis and the migrant crisis, this could be the end of the EU (perhaps unlikely, but)

* The UK leaving the EU with the Republic of Ireland staying in (there's little support for RoI leaving) could create problems in Northern Ireland

* The UK voting to leave the EU, with Scotland having voted to stay, could lead to another Scottish independence referendum

* The UK voting to stay in the EU, with England having voted to leave, might (though I don't know how likely it is) upset people in England

* Whatever way the result goes, it might bring down the current UK Government and force elections

* If the UK leaves, other countries might consider it as well

* If the UK stays, other countries might want to renegotiate their terms as well

* This will bring up the European Convention on/Court of Human Rights, and Human Rights Act, issue again - what happens if the UK actually does leave the ECHR or repeal the HRA? Especially in Northern Ireland, where the HRA is part of the Good Friday Agreement, and in Scotland, where laws must comply with the ECHR

I'm not an expert on any of this. It'll be interesting to see what happens, certainly.
Agreed. I think you should be able to live and work in another EU country for a maximum of five years. After which time you should apply for citizenship. That way, member states can control migration levels and in exchange, those who have moved and settled in another country get full citizenship status including the right to fully partake in the voting process.

Using Support Vector Machines for Digit Recognition

Context: I'm a big proponent of the basic income.

That said, it seems too much to say "Unemployment is good." It's hard to disentangle the effects of poverty versus unemployment, but there are pretty strong hints that having a (good) job is good for health--prolonged unemployment from solidly middle class jobs leads to depression, and people die at higher rates after retiring.

People need a purpose and outlet for their creativity, and a sense of order and direction for their lives: sitting at home all day playing video games would be disastrous, and encouraging automation (which a basic income will do) will make it even harder to get entry level positions. We've got to enable some kind of meaningful labor (market-compensated or not) that people still can engage in after the basic income is implemented.
Yes, one can make that argument. Is there ever a situation in which it is immoral to visit a country and help its regime by spending money there? For me I think North Korea qualifies.
I read this almost as a form of 'suicide by cop' in the workplace.

To me it reads as though the author is unhappy with the job they signed up for, but instead of exerting the mental fortitude to resign, is instead throwing a public tantrum lashing out at the CEO in public.

What was the imagined outcome? All that will come of tarnishing the employers brand and degrading yourself like this will be an immediate dismissal and a social 'blacklisting' preventing future job opportunities.

Is that the desired outcome? I feel like this discussion thread is going to outlive the authors career.
Yes, CL does have its share of historical baggage and warts. Despite those, I think it's still the best dynamically typed language. The rich number types, with arbitrary-precision integers by default, single- and double-floats, ratios, and complex numbers all built in; macros; and multimethods -- CL still has major features that the other dynamic languages, rather inexplicably to my mind, have yet to embrace. It's also much faster than Python or (especially) Ruby, and would be much faster than JavaScript but for the massive amount of effort that's gone into JIT compilation of this now-ubiquitous language.

If you're coming from a Haskell, F#, or even Scala or Ruby background, you might appreciate my functional collections library for CL [0]. It expands the range of code that can easily be written functionally.

Even if you don't have that experience, you might find FSet interesting, but it will take a little longer to wrap your head around.

It's more an issue of who the media covers. One tweet from snowden generates an article on a dozen news websites instantly.
Maybe we will have to get visas to visit the EU. If the EU want to make it harder for us to visit, then that is their choice and they have every right to do so. I don't see why we should expect others to just let us into their country if they'd rather we weren't there.
> The UK joined an economic community that has somehow transformed into a superstate

I've seen some variant of this claimed time and time again, but I don't really get it. The EU has always been supranational, always been pro-harmonisation and -integration. The scope of what it covers may have expanded somewhat over time (and that's been actively participated in by the UK anyway), but is it really a fundamentally different institution in 2016 from what there was in 1975? The main thing it did in 1975 and does in 2016 is set common rules for trade. Okay, it has nominal leaders now and some semblance of democratic process, but that's a feature of the UN, too, and nobody describes it as a superstate.
Unemployment isn't good. I get your point, and agree. But basic income is not about unemployment = good but more about giving you the time to transform to do what you really want to do in life.

Doing nothing in your life sucks hard. Everyone gets depressed and suicidal in the long term.
