So, there is really no objective justification for the existence of US government, because its supposed purpose it to protect 'basic rights', such as life, liberty and pursuit of haaapineeess(i.e. ensure that subset of homo sapiens species can release endorphins, dopamine, anandamide...). Since rights don't exist, there is nothing to protect. It's kinda like paying security staff to protect non-existing house. BTW, contingent rights flow from natural rights and if those are illusory, then all rights and laws are not justifiable.
Ah, as we like to say, the marathon is two halves, but the second half doesn't begin till mile 20. It is a distance that demands respect. You are right, it is a completely different beast than the half-marathon.

About your two friends: I'm at the point, fortunately, where I can complete a marathon at will. But racing it is a different thing altogether. I'm going to guess that, given you say they are very athletic, they had set a time goal for themselves. That's usually a mistake for the first marathon, and regardless of their fitness, it's a distance where if you push too hard, you will be punished.

Gosh I love marathons. Except when I hate them. :-)
Damn straight. Eventually, I was running 3 miles every other day. I never experienced the runners high either. Running never got easier. As I got better, I was simply able to prolong the amount of torture before succumbing...

My friends say things like "I run to clear my head" or "I run to relax". My runs are dreaded, tedious nightmares and the only positive aspect is that eventually the run will end.

Fuck running. :)
The web as envisioned early on by Netscape was supposed to have apps much sooner than it did. Once Microsoft swept aside Netscape by killing their business it basically froze development on IE.

They made one mistake: XMLHttpRequest (probably the last big feature added to IE before the freeze) and we got lucky with Firefox.
I did repairs at an authorized store for about 5 years. It's unlikely that her customer both knew the repair history of that iPad and reported it truthfully. It's also extremely unlikely they they knew and reported truthfully whether the iPad had every been exposed to liquid while in their possession. People just usually aren't honest about these things (and who can blame them when it means the difference between a free iPad replacement and a repair that costs almost as much as buying a new one?).

And no matter how clear we tried to be at my shop, we could not seem to convince customers that we were not owned and run by Apple. I can't even get my friends and co-workers to stop saying that I worked for Apple, so the fact that her customer reported to her that this iPad was replaced by a corporate Apple Store means just about nothing. Funnily enough, if her shop was an authorized repair center, it would have been trivial for her to verify the repair/purchase history.

It's also really frustrating that the video is blurry when she's trying to point out the water damage. All I could make out of flux from the solder job. I also suspect, but can't say authoritatively, that the "heat damage" she pointed out was just an artifact of after-factor solder work on the board, not from the board shorting or overheating. Unless a chip is visibly burned or blown out, you really need to test it to know whether it's been damaged.
Yes its called GGC.
https://peering.google.com/#/

We got ours delivered about 6 months ago. It usually works fine but once in a while google services will act up, but most of the time the issue is at ISP end because even the GGC nodes needs BW to pull non-cached content, but if your ISP is overselling BW it will really hamper the performance on the GGC nodes. The GGC nodes themselves have capacity limitation, our 3 nodes has a total capacity of 19gbps, I am guessing if we were to saturate that throughput then the services will be affected.
Did it help? How often did you end up repeating the same task?

(Personally, I have this feeling that my tasks tend to be varied enough that 'number of times done' would almost always == 1, however, I don't have any actual data to back that assertion up. (And maybe you used this to hone in on the "true hour cost of a 2 story point task"???)
Urban Center for Computation and Data | Chicago | Systems Engineer | ONSITE | Full Time

About us: We are a research group at the University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory that develops tools to better understand cities. http://www.urbanccd.org/

The project: The Array of Things (http://arrayofthings.us) is an urban sensing project involving the installation of at least 500 multi-sensor devices in the City of Chicago. The project relies on an open source platform, Waggle (http://wa8.gl), developed by Argonne National Laboratory.

Your role: As we deploy Array of Things (AoT) nodes, we need to ensure that the data we are collecting will be available to the public in the form most useful to them. For scientists, we need to develop APIs that enable analytics workflows. For developers, we need to minimize latency to allow near-real-time applications. For policy analysts without advanced data munging skills, we need to present interfaces that make the data easy to discover and use.

Technologies: You'll mostly be programming in Python. (The AoT storage system - https://github.com/waggle-sensor/beehive-server - and our open data hub - https://github.com/UrbanCCD-UChicago/plenario are both written in Python.) For storage we use Cassandra and PostgreSQL + PostGIS.

Location: We require you to be onsite most days, but we're flexible about which of our sites you want to work at: Downtown Chicago, University of Chicago campus, or Argonne National Laboratory.
Perks: Everything we do is open source. Great university benefits.

If you use their "Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel", it's actually a totally different (and much newer) kernel version than the one that ships with the equivalent RHEL release. Interestingly, they also provide it across OEL versions, so you can use the more modern kernel with the horribly outdated RHEL userland of your choice.

For instance, UEK R4 is based on the 4.1.12 Linux kernel. RHEL 7 ships with 3.10.0.

It still makes me nauseous to deal with Oracle, but providing support for a relatively modern kernel release is a step in the right direction. Now if they could shorten RHEL's time between major releases and get them out on a consistent timeframe, that would be another big step in the right direction. Of course then you're practically shipping Ubuntu.
Zoning by use (residential, commercial, industrial, etc.) is just one of many land use tools. There are tons of rules in Houston about how much land you need for a building and what you can actually build, as well as restrictive covenants in individual deeds that limit what can be built.

We don't need to eliminate zoning, but density-based zoning is guaranteed to cause economic segregation. That's what it's for. We should eliminate it in our central cities and employment centers.

> You know, there is a reason people went to the press -- it's because when they followed the official route they were ignored, threatened and had the full force of the US government turned against them.

They were not ignored; their concerns were founded in an incorrect understanding of the Constitution and the law. They didn't follow the official route, which is to file a complaint with an inspector complaint. The government did nothing to them until they broke their oaths and the law.

There's a better quote in there:

> "Snowden could've come to me," says George Ellard, the NSA's inspector general. "In fact, he would have been given some protections."

It applies equally to Drake & Binney. Anyone has the ability to go to an inspector general and raise issues of misconduct. What folks don't have the right to do is invent their own Constitution and laws. Another good quote is:

> "Perhaps it's the case that we could've shown, we could've explained to Mr. Snowden his misperceptions, his lack of understanding of what we do," Ellard said.

But we're already far off the topic; this isn't the thread to discuss how Binney, Drake & Snowden shared a fatally flawed misunderstanding of what is & is not licit under the prevailing interpretation of the Constitution.

I'm just honestly glad that this young man actually fulfilled his oath. That really shouldn't be remarkable, but these days it is.
Not with that attitude‡. A normal toaster uses about 1,000W, and a normal USB port is capable of 2.5W, which is 400 times less than the need.

First we make it a one-slice toaster, which cuts the requirement to 500W. We then apply advanced design and engineering principles to make the toaster more efficient. This may include an enclosure that better traps heat (but allows moisture to be drawn away from the bread). Or more carful placement of the heat elements to ensure that no heat is being wasted out the slot. Parabolic reflectors behind the heating elements can focus more heat energy directly to the bread slice. Lasers may even be involved.

All of these tweaks will drops the requirement to, say, 250W.

Still a ways to go, we decide to accept a longer toasting time in exchange for lower power requirements. Instead of heating elements covering both surfaces of the bread slice, we decide to have a single element on a track, moved by a stepper motor. This will toast the bread in sections instead of all at once. Think of the difference between a traditional camera and a flatbed scanner. This allows us to use a fraction of the power. Call it 50W. The toasting time will increase to 12 minutes, but if people like crock pots, then they'll love this.

Add 10% for the rest of the device and we'll need 55W.

So now we're at about 20x our ability. But wait! USB3 is common enough, that we can require it. USB3 can supply 4.5W, making our gap now 12x. There isn't any more power savings I can think of, so now we'll cheat by placing an onboard battery in the toaster/keyboard. The battery only needs to output 55W, so a single 20A lithium-ion cell will work. If we're estimating a 12-minute toast time, that's 11 watt-hours. An 18650 battery cell can provide roughly 11 watt-hours.

For only $129.99, you can have a keyboard with all the convenience of your kitchen. (Cherry switches are extra.)

‡ Yes, you're still right, it can't carry the power to toast bread. But the energy is there :)

Why aren't they going straight to orbital rockets? I mean, I guess you could offset some of the engineering costs and gain experience by working on an easier problem, but I can't imagine tourism will be that lucrative, and all the real money is in orbital flight anyway. Are my assumptions all wrong?
> I thought/think that people supporting capital markets view them as a method for companies to raise capital

You are correct, people supporting capital markets do view/promote them as a method for companies to raise capital. If you look at the data though, this turns out to be misleading. The amount of money companies raise in initial or subsequent stock offerings through the public capital markets are a fraction of what they raise through other methods. Less than 7% of corporate investment capital is raised through stock offerings. Also, this is not just the case nowadays, it has been like this since the 1940s, and even before that.
Indeed he may be, but the case of Herrera v. Collins is pretty clear - laws are about procedures, not facts. If someone has been found guilty in a trial, and there were no flaws in the prodecures followed, then it is not unconstitutional to follow through with the punishment, even if later evidence shows the person is innocent.

More importantly, it would be procedurally problematic if convicted criminals could appeal on the basis of a claim of innocence, even if it's due to new evidence. Following procedures is more important than getting at the truth. (I conjecture it's because getting at the truth is unreasonably difficult. For example, there's no guarantee that a subsequent trial will be more reliable than the original.)
If you have access to cheap traffic that's not complete garbage, giving it to Amazon is one of the dumbest things you can do.

I really tried AA on a few of my sites, and eventually gave up and switched back to Adsense. I even created a custom ad system which tried different Amazon products, tracked impressions and clicks, which gave me the data on which ads were more likely to be clicked on. I went up from the initial 0.5% CTR to 5% CTR, which I felt really proud of. But then you have to realize that once these people land on Amazon, they have to convert again in order for you to get paid, and the conversion rate is like 1-2%.

So you end up with shit like this: 250 clicks, 4 items ordered, $2.40 earned (straight from the earning report).

Now think how much Adsense would pay you for 250 clicks. I average $0.432 per click (just checked). So $108 is what I'd expect to earn with Google. That's 45 times more than Amazon.
You usually can't ssh into docker container because:

1) it usually doesn't have sshd

2) you change would be thrown away at nearest container restart or migration.

The only way for it to persist is to do the right thing, i.e. apply the change where you should and have the container rebuilt.
a responsible author would at least have mentioned that it's a safety issue as well as an aesthetic one.

Not only will I second this, I'll add that it's also an athletic issue. I used to run with headphones. But I don't anymore, because I realized I wanted all my senses, not just to be aware of my surroundings, but to be aware of myself. I literally listen to my body when I run, because it's a cue for me that I'm running correctly. I know it's not for everyone.
I sometimes tried that (and used screen for some time), but it never clicked. AFAIK the only advantage to a scriptable tiling WM is the persistence thing, but I never had a use-case for that.
>limited IDE and runtime support

Key word: limited

I don't believe MS will ever fully support Linux 100%. They will always make their software tooling more compatible with their OS even though they have the ability to create software for Linux that is on par with the Windows counterparts.

Microsoft purposely leaves their "cross-platform" software gimped out so that anyone who does decide to take up .NET on Linux will eventually want to switch to Windows because Microsofts support for Linux is half assed.

Hopefully most people can see through the obvious MS shilling that's been going on lately.

Some people seem to believe the "new bash" coming to windows is somehow a game changer and that this means they no longer need Linux. Please. Setting up any serious development process in this Frankenstein OS is going to be a nightmare and it's going to break every tool chain conceivable.
> regularly sends updates back to Facebook’s servers.

That IS evidence of something shady going on. A display device does not need to send data over the network. This is already spyware.

And no, the endermen in Minecraft do not send data back to Mojang when they detect you looking at them. That was obviously a an example of how someone could exploit head tracking data; it would still require exchanging data with Facebook... which the article claims OVRServer_x64.exe does.
Why? Because it is "legal". Do you base your morality on what is legal and what is illegal?

There are victims and families of victims who do not support the death penalty. A documentary aired in the UK a few years ago that spoke with the family of a prison officer (Daniel Nagle) who was murdered, the perpetrator (Robert Pruett) had been sentenced to the death penalty and the Nagle family were against the sentence -- even though they believe him to be guilty of the murder.

If you're in the UK you can watch that here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b03zndw4/life-and-death...

I'm not quite sure if I'm interpreting your comment correctly, apologies if I've misunderstood the point you're making.
Newer systems using 3GPP-type authentication (LTE, and I think UMTS) require mutual authentication between the SIM and the network (details in [1] section 6.3). If the network doesn't provide a satisfactory AUTN, the mobile can't proceed with connecting to the network because later steps in the connection procedure need some keys derived from the authentication procedure.

I think in older GSM-derived systems, the SIM just computed an authenticator based on a nonce provided by the network.

I know for sure that CDMA (IS-95 and 2000) and later AMPS systems supported one-way authentication or not, as selected by the network.

I've heard rumors that attackers have to force a protocol downgrade to something without mutual authentication by jamming the legitimate signal. The other options for the attack would seem to include

- obtaining the secret key value (or a set of authentication vectors) from the legitimate network.
Either of these seems more difficult to obtain than the actual locations that the attackers claim to want.

- obtaining K from SIM manufacturers, which has happened [2].

- exploiting implementation defects in SIMs or mobiles.

In theory there is an arbitrage opportunity here, given that with enough users on the service Jare could be paying for most of the bandwidth at higher tiers ($0.06 - $0.02) and solo the users would likely be in the lower tiers ($0.085 - $0.08).
