The problem is very simple: cultural incompatibility.

I would normally be one of the least likely persons to point this out but: "believing in Islam" (i.e. identifying as Muslim) is not the same as believing that violence in the name of Islam is justified or justifiable.

There are myriads of sects of Islam (just like Christianity) and the particular group everyone is talking about these days (i.e. ISIS) actually most closely resembles a modern revisionist unorthodox theology that has little to do with garden variety fundamentalist Islam.

In a nutshell: most Islamic sects build upon centuries of theological texts and interpretations of the original scripture. This can still yield dangerous conclusions (cf. the various fatwas inciting violence against individuals or groups) but ISIS throws this body of opinion out and substitutes a radical "unfiltered" return to the original scripture itself.

While there are Syrian refugees who hold dehumanizing religious opinions combing them all over the same brush is akin to saying all Christians support the bombings of abortion clinics because there are interpretations of Christian scripture which would find it justified.

The situation is incredibly messy and this is indeed not the best place to discuss it in detail but overgeneralizations like "Muslim == supports Islamist violence" help no-one and only serve to incite tensions (which is exactly what attacks like those in Paris and Brussels are intended to do).
In all seriousness, the UK media have been reporting for years about a lack of young people being interested in science based degrees and this is an opportunity to get not only children but people of all ages interested in what this boat actually does.

Knowing how Belgium handles their minorities in Brussels, it's not a big surprise.

The fact that this happens now is neither a surprise. Salah Abdeslam has been caught, and there were messages that he wanted to cooperate with the Belgium police. Whether it's true or not, if they were planning something, and he knew about it, waiting was not a real option.
Religion is the way the leaders of these groups convince their followers to blow themselves up. Without religion it would be completely against their self interest to do so.

Why stop there, though? Why not college, and a PhD? I mean, we mandate that everyone in the US buy health insurance because if you're not paying into the system you're part of the problem. What limit is there to this power?

Can we force women to be on birth control until they're married and/or have "enough" money and/or fulfill some other arbitrary criteria for having kids? Society -- statistically speaking -- has to pick up the tab for kids born to lower income single moms through WIC, food stamps, etc. That's clearly something that society has an interest in and thus a right to control/regulate right?

If you disagree with the above statement please address it as a matter of far-reaching prinicple rather than as a matter of pragmatics. Our society is ostensibly, largely built on principle; it's illegal to murder because nobody wants to be murdered. This is very straightforward. If we concede that society has an interest in how people interact, truly what is off limits?

perhaps the fact that they are "weak" or "minorities" is the cause and not the consequence of the attacks... I mean, in a complex society causality goes in any direction.

Get dogs trained to detect explosives patrolling all areas of the airport and I'm not sure what they're called, but they have these sniffer devices at the CN tower where they basically make you walk through a large hairdryer and it sniffs the residue blown off you for chemical signatures. It's not perfect, but a combination of those two things any place where you have large volumes of people congregating would surely yield an above average result. The dogs alone I would wager would be an efficient response - they're portable, don't take up much room and can clamber over all kinds of obstacles.
Not yet, but it will be!
> - we need more police and higher spending

Belgium certainly does. Its failures in counter terrorism have lead to the Paris attacks and now these attacks. At least that is the understanding I have gleaned from twitter conversations of CT experts
Indeed, the explosions were in the checkin area. I was there last week and there's a couple of armed soldiers in the area, but you can walk right in without any security screening.
Missing cache of emails that is. Just search "missing cache" and you'll see even more of her.
The parent's point is valid – although religion is the most obvious expression of social division, the roots are deeper. People don't erupt in open warfare due to differences in religion unless there are other issues – such as social injustice, or economic differentials, or so on.
If they're born in the country and lived there their whole life, they're local by any non-racist definition.
Many commonplace chemicals, such as hand sanitizer, confound the explosives detectors used at airports. Dogs can only work a very limited time before their sense of smell gets fatigued.

Moreover, the bomb was set off outside the secure area. It is VERY likely that existing security measures got more people killed because there are dense crowds waiting to clear security. This exact type of attack, outside the secure area, was predicted long ago. And there you have it.
Surveillance only works when people believe their communications are private and secure.

The 3rd party was probably NSA and they did not intervene up until because it would reveal the existence of a cracking technique.

What changed is that weighed against a possible court verdict that would tell every terrorist that no U.S. made device or encryption could possibly be secure, (causing targets to avoid using broken crypto) revealing the existence of a possible forensic technique was low risk.

The belief that it is possible to communicate securely is the most important thing for spies to maintain. The FBI wants to discourage people from believing it because they think it will make people less likely to commit crimes. The spies want to encourage the belief because it ensures they can collect the intelligence they need to maintain the status quo.

I wish there was a job and kids version of the Fellowship.
Make it 12-16 weeks, and allow founders to keep their day jobs. I am in Georgia Tech OMSCS right now and people put 30-40 hours a week into that and keep their day job.

It would be very encouraging to be able to test out one of my ideas for a semester but the work load these guys talk about in the article is pretty crazy. Is the expectation of the Fellowship that the founders are putting in 12+ hour days for 8 straight weeks?

Assuming all Muslims are ideologically the same, and that Muslims monolithically defend this sort of behavior is an asinine assumption.

No they haven't. The recent attacks in Europe have not been caused by 'recent migrants'. That's just a bald-faced lie.
Not getting laid for too long.
> It's like a 99.999% chance it's not ISIS [...] it shows just how vastly uneducated most people are about the issues that lead to attacks like this.

The article you're linking to was written before the November attacks which certainly was by ISIS.
We had something similar to that in America at weird times of day or night with televangelist evangelical christian dramatizations. I remember one particular episode, I'm sleepless with a fever from a cold and mindlessly changing channels and there's some kids playing around farm equipment that would give OSHA a fit (but this was a long time ago, back when OSHA was new...) and naturally one of the kids VERY dramatically loses a leg, and then it cuts to the evangelical preaching part of the sermon along the lines of god loves you so be chill when bad things happen, based on a true story! However effective at converting adults, I will say it was almost subversively ineffective at converting me as a little kid... all I got out of it personally was don't play around farms, and the preacher's god is a complete jerk to rip the legs off a little kid.
Sure, there are loads of problems due to ghettoisation or whatever.

Something about this bothers me too. I am trying to formulate a way to look at this that gives Facebook the benefit of the doubt, like "anyone you can help is good, even if you can't help them all"... but there's a pessimism in me that says Facebook is being opportunist.
Assad was one of the few that survived the Arab Spring. The Saudi's was another, and a US ally. It is interesting to note that one of the most regressive regimes in the world, Saudi Arabia is one of America's strongest allies in the middle east. But that's none of my business.

Many believe that getting rid of Assad will end the Syrian refugee crisis. Others observe that when the Saddam and Gaddafi heads were cut off the snake grew ISIS.

And so it goes.

> There should be no moderation in freedom (outside of the absolutes of killing another or dispossessing them of their property).

Why the focus on property rights? Much libertarian thought is expended on equating freedom to how you/others interact with property. It hardly gives credence to other man made rights that should be equally, if not more, recognized.

When you look at the group of people it dogmatically and absolutely resolves, and who funds think-tanks promoting the ideology, it is the well-propertied.

I find it hard to believe that all other freedom can be derived from and ensured by deifying property rights.
They don't fail to integrate, they don't want to. Big difference. I believe there will be a time in Europe, when people will have enough and will demand deportation of every muslim. So 99 good muslims will be deported for every 1 bad muslim. I'm not saying I want this time to come, but what else can happen ? Drastic times == drastic measures.
This is exactly where biases creep in to evaluation. It's really, really hard to assess these signals objectively, and not use them to justify your snap judgements or prejudices. So maybe when the guy with a college sports background and a military-style buzz cut talks about how 'the team' did stuff, you mark it down as a sign of being a great team player and sharing credit. But when a guy with long hair does it, you assume he didn't make any individual contribution. And if a young woman talks about 'I' did stuff, you interpret it as confidence and evidence of personal contribution, but an older lady with kids does it and you dig in hard for evidence she's taking credit for others' work. Not personally accusing you of these specific biases here - just trying to show how these vague 'personality' judgement signals can be unconsciously misjudged by an interviewer, without them even knowing that's what they did.
> For anyone doing highly theoretical work we can be over ambitious.

I would say that this danger applies more to those doing practical (applied) work. A practically oriented program will often have a clear goal, and preset goals are often unattainable in research. By contrast, a student doing theoretical work can always bend their goals when necessary.
If you only have a 3G device, or a 4G device that doesn't support the available FDD-LTE bands, you might be better off getting a China Unicom HK card instead. They have HSPA+ on 2100 MHz. Google services work fine on them.

The cards are hard or impossible to find within the HKIA transit area, so you will want to either pick it from a street retailer in HK, or order from their English webstore - http://www.cugstore.com/hk_en/. Street prices are usually cheaper.

Indeed. It seems to be the prevalent opinion among European counter-terrorism experts that the most effective policies are:

- Bringing more eyes and ears in the form of social workers and community policemen in problematic neighborhoods.

- Provide better education/work opportunities for immigrants.

- Better cooperation between municipalities and Muslim organisations/mosques.

- Deradicalization programs.

Of course, implementing such policies takes time and it's much more popular to present the 'easy solutions' (more surveillance, closing borders, etc.).

France has been doing pretty much the opposite, investing money in surveillance and special forces instead. Belgium has kind of ignored problems.
It's less religion and more economic disparity. That's why you have beheadings in Mexico as well.

The media certainly doesn't want to discuss the real issues in regards to terrorist attacks and why they may exist. I don't think it's as simple as "they hate our way our life" as the governments around the world try to portray it and the media seems to go along with it without questions that logic.
Perhaps, but then bombs could just be detonated in open public squares, playgrounds, etc - it's actually surprising they're not.
Political correctness supports terrorism? I bet you are as anti-terrorism as they get.
>but how is that fair?

Having no monetary help from a family making 100K a year is still different from having no monetary help from a family making 20K. If we want fair, how is growing up in a family with poor parents fair compared to growing up in a family with rich parents? While you might be able to blame the parent for their own financial situation, you cannot blame the child.

>it was pretty upsetting to see kids who were ostensibly poorer than I was get a substantially easier start in life.

Considering that they already had an ~18 year start of life where they likely weren't having it easier...

There are many of us Westerners that have some anti-west tendencies - like anti-surveillance, anti-government-sticking-its-nose-in-where-it-shouldn't-be, anti-corruption-caused-by-lobbyists-and-big-business-running-our-government, etc. etc.

But we're not completely anti-west, we enjoy the freedoms and religious autonomy we're granted and we enjoy the cultural mix that "the West" affords us.

It also doesn't mean we wish to maim and murder the innocent (on either side of the argument!) in order to make our point. I think 99% of us can agree that groups (like ISIS) who think it's acceptable and act to torture and kill the innocent to make their political point need to die in a hell-fire and be damned to all eternity. Or maybe that's just me.

I agree that you want to do some thinking before launching an external API. A nice intermediate low risk step would be to launch the API internally and see how useful it is for folks in the organization. I did that a few years ago and it turned out to be very useful.

Plus it gives you a safe space to learn about the intricacies of running an API before you charge for it.

Also, as a developer if I heard "we are exposing an internal API and charging for it" I'd be confident that the API would be around.
Why not? If it gets the job done (probably faster too). I would even suggest that be realistic and allow copy/paste during interviews too!
It looks like both Dplython and pandas-ply are missing one of (what I think is) the core value propositions of dplyr: the ability to use the same abstractions on local data and on remote data, with execution against the remote source happening lazily such that the entire table doesn't need to be downloaded in order to run a filter locally.

(Of course, I may be biased in that I work on a commercial product which also has this characteristic.)

But they did see it coming. From what I gathered from the response of many Brussels residents and airport personnel, the question was "when", more than "if".
There's simply no way that even if we wanted to, restoring Assad in Syria will ever work again. Too many (basically, everyone whose not an Alawite or Christian) people will never acquiesce to living under his rule.
I'm sure people like you would like to continue and strengthen domestic and foreign policies that would just lead to further violence. Western governments and their right wing supporters in the populace love bashing heads, and when that leads to disenfranchised people with no future who feel utter hostility towards them, they blame everyone but their own actions and bash even harder.
