Thanks for giving an example. I'd say that you can definitely take advantage of the functionality provided by views without having accounts that are able create and modify them on your production site. In fact it's accepted as the right way to do things.

Without more serious examples I can't really agree with your conclusion that it's full of design decisions encouraging insecurity. When it comes to serious security issues that have needed patching I'd say Drupal has a fairly decent track record. It certainly has better defaults and less serious security issues compared to WordPress. I admit that is not saying much but WP has been becoming more and more popular as a CMS and that is what Drupal often gets compared to.

Hey, I am currently working with a group of folks over at /r/ethereum on a project relating to a crowdfunded real estate based crypto community. ( See: https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/4dorx0/lets_buy_a... )

If you'd consider using your land for a project like this, let me know and I can invite you to the slack channel we're brainstorming in.

Our website was down as well for 16 minutes. My guess is that it was a bad route that was pushed out simultaneously (probably was not the intention). It happened once before, sometimes last year, if I remember correctly. We'll have to wait and see what the definitive cause was though.
The purpose of the legal system is to enforce cultural expectations. There is no reason to let technology run ahead of cultural expectations.

Maybe one day running Tor will be routine and not a cause for suspicion. Until then, there is nothing wrong with investigating the origin of illegal activity, with appropriate measures, and requiring Tor to be raised and proven as an affirmative defense.

Just some anecdote on Kamprad: Switzerland was also the first country for IKEA to expand into and we now have some of the largest stores. I suspect it had to do with Kamprad's early interest in the country, and possibly because it was a good test market for them. Most Swiss have heard some of stories about him - e.g. him driving an old Volvo, using and washing up plastic dishes and also that he often visited the first Ikea in Switzerland (Spreitenbach) in order to see how things go and optimise the strategy.

For me it has always been impressive how streamlined an Ikea is towards maximising revenue. I'm one of these people who tends to analyse my surroundings constantly for possible optimizations - yet in Ikea I couldn't come up with even one improvement that would make it better for the company. This alone is actually rather refreshing for me, finally a place where I can switch off my brain and just indulge in a bit of consumption!
Information goods and markets are a poor match for numerous reasons. Paradoxically, it also seems to be the direction much of the advanced world is headed, in the sense both of goods which are nothing but information (data, print, audio, images, video), and those for which information content is a large component: high-tech manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and processes.

One of the problems is fairly well understood: the tendency for marginal costs to approach zero, or at least a small fraction of the fixed costs of production (look at the story over how Boeing accounts for the R&D of its 787 Dreamliner).

Another is more insidious: information isn't readily assimilarted. If you look at the advertiser's toolkit for message dissemination, what you see are all kinds of ways to drape the intended message over an assimilable one: sex, youth, beauty, fame, fear, greed, jealousy, envy, loss. Or repetition, music, disorientation, flashy elements.

Junk food (of the dietary or infotainment variety) has cognizability, a word I first ran across in William Stanley Jevons description of characteristics of money. You instantly recognise what these are. Complex truths are, well, more complicated. The geniuses who discover or explain them come up with useful metaphors or analogies: Newton, Darwin, Einstein, Feynman. Much of that is mapping a novel thought onto a familiar one.

We're not going to take that out of information, it's part and parcel of the bargain (a metaphor, incidentally, arguably a cliche). But we can try engineering systems for compensating and promoting information which don't flagrantly flog and feed junk. That's the feedback and control loops Williams talks of.

One approach is to treat information as a public good. It's what the UK does with the BBC, and it's the philosophy of a number of institutions, including CUNY's Graduate Center (who've adopted this as their motto), and Robert McChesney and John Nichols:

They clearly had more than just an IP address--they had an IP address and the identity of the user who was assigned the IP address at the time. If police found a post-it with a house address in a context where it was clear that it was connected to the perpetrator, that would easily be sufficient for a warrant. The bar is not supposed to be a high one.
> which is apparently to not exist as such.

You're once again mischaracterizing the actual claim, and in a way that suggests you not only disagree with it, but feel a need to mock it. Please don't do that.
I suspect LSD and meditation might approach the same thing from different angles. LSD itself can force you to deal with thoughts in your brain you can normally filter or suppress—potentially similar to how meditation can reveal unconscious biases, fears, desires, etc.

I don't think that meditation is CONTRARY to drugs.

Ecstasy is pretty stupid as far as mind-drugs go. You experience intense happiness, pleasure, indeed ecstasy for no reason. LSD is far more substantial: if you're laughing, you're laughing for a reason. If you're happy, something is making you happy. If you're scared, it's because of something already in your brain (or I guess some immediate danger like normal).

Nasty sounding condition. Here's a link[1] and a summary,

> ...a mental disorder in which the people have persistent or recurrent feelings of depersonalization and/or derealization... Depersonalization is described as feeling disconnected or estranged from one's body, thoughts, or emotions. Individuals experiencing depersonalization may report feeling as if they are in a dream or are watching themselves in a movie... derealization is described as detachment from one's surroundings. Individuals experiencing derealization may report perceiving the world around them as foggy, dreamlike/surreal, or visually distorted... the inner turmoil created by the disorder can result in depression, self-harm, low self-esteem, anxiety attacks, panic attacks, phobias, etc.

Rights apply to government interactions with its subjects. Lambdaconf isn't a government, none of us are. And really? Being disinvited is the same as secret police renditions?

But let's take your absurd comparison in good faith: I don't care whether they have the "right" or not, I would oppose retaliation by a state on the merits of the situation. Again I will repeat my exasperation at the idea that one must have a rule that applies to all conflicts of speech uniformly without consideration of context or details of the conflict. No one here wants to grapple with the effects of hate speech on others, they simply want to ignore them, and that is completely irrational. Free speech absolutism is irrational and behaves like dogmatic religion.

I don't get that such a thing is even possible. Those workers were offered compensation, including future compensation, in trade for work now.

Why does the state get to annul the future compensation once the work is done ?

Even weirder: why do libertarians here seem to be in favor of the state doing so ? You'd think breaking contracts would be a huge no-no for them.

What other experiences?

So you're saying the parent commenter was made aware of the Tao? Or that it was a religious experience? I don't follow.

That's bogus. You're likening abstinence from LSD to a disability.

> Unless your brain has time travel capabilities, your experience of the past is just replaying memories and the future is just simulations of potential paths.

I didn't say anything about time travel. My point was it's a bit concerning that somebody would refer to their past and future as "trivial and not important." You mentioned using knowledge of the past to plan the future. That suggests you agree that the past and future are connected and important.

>Even when I go to concerts, it's generally (shock) to listen to music, and I try my best to tune out the existence of the crowd.

Haha, this reminds me of a concert I went to in Manhattan a couple of years ago, for a German metal band from the 80s. It was a pretty small venue, the total crowd was less than 500 (I think the fire marshall's sign said max capacity of 450), and as you might expect for a German metal band, the crowd was overwhelmingly male. So I stood near the back (since I like to do that, I'm not into mosh pits) and saw two women come in together. Unlike the men who were obviously all there to actually see the band, and who were using their phones to take pictures of... the band, these two women took selfies of themselves with the band in the background, then promptly went over to the bar to troll for men. None of the men seemed too interested in them...

The endorsement is implicit, not explicit.

Conf: "We're giving person A a presentation slot because they have a compelling presentation on topic W."

Possible Attendee: "Are you aware that person A has said things X, Y, and Z, which taken together can make people reluctant to associate with them?"

Conf: "We are aware of that but do not wish to make our conference about anything X, Y, or Z. The presentation is topical."

PA: "If you feature this speaker, you will cause some people to be reluctant to associate with your conference as well."

Conf: "We understand that, but speaker A is discussing topic W, not topics X, Y, or Z. We choose to feature the speaker because of their presentation on W."

By taking this position, the conference associates itself with the speaker. Possible attendees will see this association and draw the conclusion that the conference endorses the speaker, even if that endorsement is only about non-controversial things that are within the topic of the conference.

Dryly stating that there is no endorsement of any off-topic position does not remove that association and the implicit endorsement.

Implicit endorsement by association is a real effect. Go talk to any major politician about how they can't be seen talking to anyone remotely controversial, because of how associating with that person might be seen as endorsement.
I'm thinking of starting a keto diet, but my only issue is that I'm northern Chinese. I feel like I'll be throwing away my culture, or what little I have from my parents (I'm Asian-american). Many of the dishes are designed with either noodles or steamed buns in mind. E.g. mopping up sauces or vinegars, dumplings, baozi, all the many kinds of noodle. How would you recommend eating asian and also keto? It seems really awkward to swear away dumplings for example, when dumpling making was an activity that brought my whole family together both in China and in America.

I think the big elephant in the room is stress. Stress is a proven killer and most would agree that working causes stress. White women have for a long time been an extremely privileged class not needing to work in general since the expectation for women was to get married and have somebody provide for you. Now women have equal rights with all the downsides it entails including stress.
> So you're saying the parent commenter was made aware of the Tao?

No, he's saying, "Some things are ineffable." — in exactly so many words.

There are experiences we can have that simply can not be articulated in something as clumsy and imprecise as language. The same word can mean subtly different things to the parties of a single conversation, and this kind of thing is pretty much all subtlety.

The experiences you can have working with psychedelics are among the most, "You really had to be there," things possible, for values of "there" that generally taken to mean, "inside the same skull".

I've had a portable Bluetooth speaker blow up in my bedroom a couple of years ago while charging. Something malfunctioned in the battery section.

The only reason that didn't set the building on fire was that I was right next to the speaker when it burst into flames. My immediate reaction was to assume my SO playing a really unfortunate firecracker prank on me, but half a second later it was obvious it was the speaker's fault. Turns out batteries can make pretty flames and a lot of fairly unpleasant smoke. To this day, still can't believe how lucky I was to be right next to it with a pillow as it blew up.

The company was kind enough to send us their top of the line product for the incident, in exchange for the faulty unit (for them to study) and a written agreement to not take em to court.

Still pretty uncomfortable around charging devices with batteries to this day, but the reality is that it's unavoidable and there's no point in developing a phobia about it.

A guaranteed income solves the income problem -- but that shouldn't be conflated with the causes of that problem that it solves. The massive income inequality, which is arguably an underlying cause of the problem, requires different solutions. Ironically, by correctly solving income inequality it may obviate the need for a guaranteed income - since other solutions may have that as a side effect.
Do you honestly think employers care? They provide jobs and expect results. That's it. If you're not happy with your job, go work somewhere else but don't post online how "surprised" you were about it.

ODROID-XU4 uses Samsung Exynos5422 (8-core big.LITTLE) for ~80 USD - http://ameridroid.com/products/odroid-xu4

I'm happy with mine.

Ridiculous core counts typically find workloads that saturate the memory controller or I/O, which is why so few are made. They typically bring with them a non-uniform memory space, cache-incoherent/rings, etc. All of that makes software teams groan and decide to spend a few thousand USD on a multi-socket Xeon or a GPU.

If AAPL didn't block third-party app stores on their devices, there would be a whole 'safe for kids' app store.

Not clear whether censorship (even well-meaning) produces healthier kids, but it won't be long before it produces an unhealthy software ecosystem. There are too many different users & use-cases for apps to be accessed usefully through a single storefront.

Even with recommendation engine magic, I'm not seeing what I should be seeing.

The worst outcome of bad app-store management is the decline of paid apps. This is terrible for developers but isn't even good for apple (who gets a cut of the pie). Seems clear they have no idea what they're doing vs, for example, steam -- valve has done a great job of cultivating non-free software.
