The fact that humans pare down their choices through decision-making and convention is not the same as saying the choice does not exist. Your considerations to "My air conditioner was not working correctly last week" could also include: run through the streets naked, kill your wife, fill your bathtub with jello, buy a fan, etc. You eliminate most of these options out of hand because you know they won't be useful, as a result of an entire lifetime's worth of training; an AI has to be brought to this point. At any point on the AI's decision tree, a priori, is "kill all humans", just as it is on yours - it has to be taught that most of the time this choice doesn't make sense.

A speaker invited to that conference has posted racist and bigoted statements on his blog. Lambdaconf is (currently anyway) deciding to invite him to speak anyway, causing all kinds of chaos.

That same person was once invited at another conference (QCon I think?) but was then uninvited after the organizers of that conference were made aware of that person's posts.
People in places like Wyoming pretty regularly vote for less government interference and regulation of that kind of industry, so I guess they get what they're voting for.

Also related, looks like China's finally cutting itself off the rest of the internet in the world....switching from blacklisting to whitelisting.

"The proposed rules would prohibit the country’s Internet-service providers from allowing connections to websites with domains, or Web addresses, registered outside China. Violators would face fines of up to 30,000 yuan ($4,621) and public notices exposing their failure to obey."

It's clear that whether you invite or don't invite someone to a conference, you are making a stand.

What the organizers of that conference fail to see is that inviting someone with such a toxic and racist personality will only encourage that person to keep posting their hateful comments.
A 1992 email from Richard Stallman about libreadline's license is, oddly enough, relevant here:

"The issue first arose when NeXT proposed to distribute a modified GCC in two parts and let the user link them. Jobs asked me whether this was lawful. It seemed to me at the time that it was, following reasoning like what you are using; but since the result was very undesirable for free software, I said I would have to ask the lawyer.

"What the lawyer said surprised me; he said that judges would consider such schemes to be 'subterfuges' and would be very harsh toward them. He said a judge would ask whether it is 'really' one program, rather than how it is labeled.

"So I went back to Jobs and said we believed his plan was not allowed by the GPL."

Judges are not computers, and are generally capable of seeing through your clever plans.
I prefer the idea of a nationalized provider of last resort. If the market is so efficient, why does it fear competition from a government entity?

I'm not sure that infrastructure projects need to be bridges to nowhere or housing in dead cities to be useful. There are plenty of infrastructure projects to be done in vibrant, growing cities/regions. Overdue road repair/maintenance, water and sewage modernization, park updates, library modernization and so on could do a lot with long-term benefits. Fiber as infrastructure has some promising potential (that is the city or county or whatnot installs and owns last mile fiber, with connection to one of several competitors for internet service).
Lexical means "as it appears 'written' on the 'page' of code". So lexical scope allows you to look and see what the binding is. Contrasted to dynamic scope where you must run the program to find the binding.

If you will, syntax is the vocabulary of the language. Also called "lexicon" and the syntactical tokens are sometimes called "lexemes". It's all about the text. Syntax is text. Or more technically, syntax is the format of the input.

Syntax trees are data structures that represent syntax, but they are not syntax. There are different types of syntax trees, too. The trees are built by the compiler, and never written by hand unless for exercise.

Syntax trees have already passed semantic analysis and contain context. They are much more than just syntax.
No sudo by default! I forgot that was even a difference between Debian and Raspbian.

I'm probably just not the beginner I used to be anymore, I can look at a Pacman package name and figure out if it's going to work for Apt, and I'm used to my GUI breaking every few months because I like to run proprietary Nvidia drivers.
I think that's a fine opinion. It's an active choice to not get involved, and I think dynamic partitioning is a good way to handle things (dissent and go one's own way).

It's a bit ironic, since I hadn't really known about the conference, and it sounds really cool. After all, I can just not go to that speaker - whoever he is (the controversy really doesn't interest me) - and see some of the other neat talks. I think as far as conference prices go, it's not too bad, but I wasn't planning on it (and there's always the ever-larger cost of travel/lodging), so I suspect I won't see it =/

> I find it troubling what people get upset about these days. But it seems entirely their right to be upset about whatever they feel like. And others' right to mock them for it.

The thing is, any individual actor doing these things is fine, and can look at their own actions and feel that they are acting ethically. But when that gets scaled up to the entire society, especially with outrage culture and mass coordination via instant worldwide communication it doesn't work. I don't know, it's like some weird variation on the prisoner's dilemma or something.
Partly because citizens expect the representatives to make the effort to ask them of their opinions. It's like software: most people won't file a bug report if it's broken, they'll just look for some other program that works properly.
It would help if it was proved right at least once :P

Sure. But the parent seems to be asking for a general example of what would happen in such a dispute; unlike the rules for unpublish, they require human judgment, and so you can't actually give a single answer here.
Nanoprobes do not require an SEM to function, the SEM is only used to setup the probes initially.
SEM probing is different SEM probing works because when the circuit is active the electrons emitted from the SEM will pile on the gates to balance out the charge.
Noneporbes hookup wires directly to the components and can measure voltage and capacitance to gain the exact state, this is effectively hooking up an oscilloscope on transistor/logic gate level.
These probes are constantly used in the industry during development and can read anything in the silicon, and it doesn't matter if you store the secrets in NAND or any type of NVRAM or build some unique deterministic array for each chip (which Apple obviously won't do since int will require a unique stencil for each processor which will make a single A7 chip cost as much as a jet).
If you have access to the silicon there is nothing anyone can do, taking out the private key from a FIPS certified hardware token that isn't vulnerably to side channel attacks can cost as little as 10,000 dollars depending on the ASIC in question.
Infact to some extent the secure enclave can make physical attacks easier since you know what to focus on and you do not have to reverse engineer the entire SOC but rather a single component.

Today pretty much anyone can buy a probing station[0] these range from several 1000's of dollars for very basic IC's (such as ones used on cheap smart cards) to 100,000's or millions of dollars for something that can probe say any modern CPU/SOC.

Probing stations are used by chip manufacturers and designers and quite often they are also used in the post production QA process where completed packages will be depackaged and inspected using probes. This isn't "rocket science" there are plenty of people trained to operate such devices and the NSA is more than capable of hiring engineers from the semi-conductor industry and contracting the most advanced probes out there to look into any chip they want.
Heck the NSA could easily afford cryonic probes which allow you to cool down the IC to very low temperatures this isn't only required to fully probe certain IC's that could easily be fried without sufficient cooling but also to execute cryonic attacks in which you cool down specific parts of your IC to a very specific temperature one for example that could allow the IC to read from it's memory but write operations would fail in this case for example it might enable a party to attack the secure enclave which will generate keys but will be unable to store the failed attempts counter in it's own private memory.

Apple isn't magic, I know you like to think it is, but you really don't seem to grasp just how many types of physical attacks are there on IC's.

As pointed out elsewhere, npm also already supports scoped namespaces: https://docs.npmjs.com/misc/scope

...and has for almost a year:

> (As of 2015-04-19, the public npm registry does support scoped packages)

The right path forward probably involves encouraging major packages (e.g. https://www.npmjs.com/browse/depended) to move toward scoped package names, and then eventually deprecate non-scoped names.

Right, though "paying" for access wasn't an official option, where paywalls are an official option; comparable to paying for VPNs to get around official Internet blocks would be more like paying for access to a file sharing site to download pirates content. There less and less "pay" options because China is getting better and better at blocking the Internet. Happy to clarify anything or try to answer any additional questions you might have.
Good to see the follow up on this. And for what it's worth, I think Terence has handled this well and is being overly harsh on himself. The original comment was just a throwaway aside and not even an accusation. I don't think he should hold himself responsible for how others took the comment & inflated it.

As the owner of a BMW, he's entitled to ask BMW for a copy of the LGPL source used. Job well done.
A network, not a platform. Being platform agnostic makes a difference.

It is a rolling release, that means each time a new version of a package is available they will try and incorporate it. Apparently the difference they have to gentoo, arch et al is that they have a large CI that actually inspects screen shots to verify that the new package didn't break anything.

I run antergos (arch based) at home, having the bleeding edge is nice, but the AUR is really what seals the deal for me. That being said I have been cut by the bleeding edge at least twice, once so badly that it booted up without the eth0 interface. Maybe tumbleweed wouldn't have this problem as often.

That doesn't sound very different from Debian Sid: new and updated packages are rolled in as they come through. This means fairly frequent breakages, especially for complex stacks.

A lot of Debian-based distributions (including the first Ubuntu releases) are basically Sid snapshots at some point in time. It's been like that for a long time.
Before they introduced compulsory voting in Australia voter turn out had fallen below 60%. So with compulsory voting the "true vote" if you like is total votes minus informal votes minus donkey votes. Voter turn out for Australian elections these days is greater than 94%. If 5% of those votes are informal or donkey votes then that's still 89% of voters completing "true votes". A 30% non-vote has a far greater influence over an election than a 2% donkey vote.

The Australian Electoral Commission has a page about it: http://www.aec.gov.au/About_AEC/Publications/voting/index.ht...

> The question would be whether this is an "ordinary carpool on a cost sharing basis." Lawyers are paid to argue about these things.

I imagine the intent of this is to cover 'informal' car sharing - e.g. you have a roadtrip with a friend and both pay for petrol, or you drive to work with your neighbour and share costs.

Not sure how it would apply to Lyft Carpool - I think initially your insurance company would push back on it.

I think the tinder that fuels China "bears" is the pretty obvious capital flight from China to basically any hard asset. In the backwater city where I live, Chinese investment funds are buying mid rise, 80% vacant mid-rise office towers with cash in small cities.

Why isn't there the same kind of backlash and scrutiny on bogus allergy tests like ALCAT?
Yep. You could classify trip requests for delivering people, goods, alcohol, medical, or perishable goods. A multitude of apps for people with cars could push or pull from the network, so at any time a driver (with a compatible app) could see nearby deliveries and their bids. Business services and apps users could post bids for delivery real time.

I mean, drivers already run Lyft and Uber simultaneously, and are now used to the idea of ridesharing.

Without our recommendations those "weird" emails are what everyone would see. There is a lot of noise in contacts. We have a pretty good blacklist, and it's getting better all the time. We'll soon have enough data to make the blacklist more automated -- essentially classifying patterns of email automatically. Right now, it's a whack-a-mole. This is a big focus of ours.

The ranking for this demo example is only pretty good because not many people have used this flow. We just launched today. Normally we have a lot more data to train the ranking.

We do extract patterns across thousands of users. For example, do people tend to invite those with the same last name? To enable this learning, we do keep the data around, but we don't share contact data across apps. We aren't a data broker. The basic model is that we won't send more contact data than a user already shared with you. But we do try to find more signal to help with the ranking, and that can include, for example, counting mutual contacts that we learn from any source. Again, this data isn't shared back, it only informs our ranking.

As far as pricing, it's based on the number of address books -- not your user count. So the free tier actually covers a social graph with around 1M edges -- which is a huge value.

No, the service doesn't automatically shut off or anything like that. If the pricing doesn't fit your app (e.g. you're very high scale and a free app), just email me: ivan@yesgraph.com

We already priced things to match a high scale B2C app, so this pricing is a steal for most users.

Ember CLI does file generation and a whole lot more. I'm not saying it shouldn't -- but that shouldn't be the easiest most approachable way to start with Ember.

Why should someone have to learn all the following things:

- transpiling

- nodejs

- npm & packaging

- bower

- broccoli/task runners

- livereload

... just to START with a web framework?

Maybe don't market Ember to beginners? Again, I like Ember, I think it's the most viable large framework out there right now -- but this is certainly an issue

It's probably worth mentioning that the openSUSE Build Service pretty much fills the same role as AUR
