Interesting implication from the title of the article: that it would be 'right' to waterboard some other men. Who are they, and what justifies their torture? And before someone says it, I don't think "gathering intelligence" is a sufficiently moral or practical justification. People being tortured don't tell you valuable information; they tell you whatever they think will make the torture stop.

The CIA is a sickening and surprisingly amateurish organisation. Their actions over the past decades have ruined the United States' international moral authority. It's laughable whenever some US politician goes on TV and proclaims that America is some magical paragon of liberal democratic virtue. It's a sick joke.
All software has bugs. Of course, you can certainly decide the severity of each bug for your use-case, but you can find stuff that's just as nasty on any compiler's issue tracker.

Good riddance. Just because a job exists doesn't mean it's a fair contract or even beneficial to the employee. If you drive cross-country and break down your hourly rate according to how many hours you spend tied to your load, it only comes out to be slightly more than minimum wage, if even that. I know a guy who has spent an entire week, 24/7, stranded across the country and he only received $200 for it from his company. That's less than $2 / hr. A pizza delivery guy can make more than that just in tips. I'm not crying for the trucking industry.
>It just means, for example, that it probably would have been even harder if you were an Eastern European woman who grew up in a poor family.

Women here get hired easier (because US companies have the same policy for quotas, Intel is notorious for this), I know women who got an internship purely because they were women, there are free bootcamps and classes targeting women... not to mention all these special programs EU has for women who want to start their own company (and yes, these programs are for women exclusively). I have yet to see a program or class targeted specifically for men.

So exactly what disadvantages are you talking about?
Would it still be an advanced net if you had humans in the trucks as a 'backup', with the autonomous driving doing 90% of the 'boring' driving down the highways? Humans would still drive the last mile (ha!).

Would that be significant safer and more efficient to make it worthwhile?

If you limit autonomous driving to the main freight routes on the highway, I can see self driving vehicles happening a lot sooner than I previously expected. Like 20 years sooner.

With what's going on in America right now, restricting peoples abilities to protest is a blessing. So many people protesting against things they don't understand, people becoming violent. Blah. I love Singapore.

"different filesystems": maybe not. This new Dropbox thing is a network filesystem so it could just use normal syscalls to read and write files on any filesystem the ~/Dropbox directory and be (local) filesystem agnostic.

After all you can bypass the problem by running a Windows VM in VirtualBox with guest additions and a shared filesystem. Is another way to map the Windows Dropbox's network filesystem to the Linux one, whatever it is.

Still, very cumbersome and probably slow. I remember not stellar performances with sharing files between host and guest OSes in that way.

Hopefully Dropbox will release the API and somebody will write a user mode filesystem to interface this new service.
BBC is hardly objective. Like all other news agencies in the world, they too, have an agenda.

And that doesn't compare to what Jews went through 50 years ago. What's your point? There's always a bigger sob story around the corner. You deal with it and move on. The moving on part is important.

> whereas prejudice against "people of color" is still very much alive.

And that prejudice will amplify if you continue treating people of color differently. By providing special privileges to make up for the sins of the past, you are fomenting racism today. Every white guy who didn't get a job because of the color of his skin is now a newly minted racist. And while he really should direct his ire toward misguided leftists, in the end, he'll blame the person of color instead ... which is sad.

Further fuel efficiencies will be had as the self-driving fleets adopt platooning technologies, like those from Peloton Technology, allowing trucks to draft behind one another in highway trains.

Great. Now imagine trying to merge onto a highway, only to be cutoff by a long train of trucks blindly following each other, inches apart.

What do you mean "pretending"?

I unfollow or block assholes, but there is a whole world of folks I keep up with ranging from distant relatives to musicians I played a one off gig with.

These folks are about as good friends as the people at local businesses I know well enough to say "hi, how's your daughter" or whatever.

I don't have to be radically intimate with people in order to count them among my friends. It's a scale, and it comes and goes based on how we interact. But it's not pretense.

Well you lose marks (metaphorically, I don't mean downvotes) for talking about copying another site and doing it better, and then not naming your own site, perhaps because you don't want someone to copy it and do it better. (Unless it's just so Adsense violating that you can't say what it is.)

I think a better article might be one which went through the process and lessons learned in creating and building up your Adsense site. Even if you weren't following your own guide posted here, and it was about how you weren't 100% sure what you were doing, but you learned that this thing worked, and this thing didn't.

I suspect that's going to be more interesting to people than an article giving advice and suggestions that there's no real evidence you've actually (successfully) employed yourself.

Anyway, you win points (a literal upvote) for being good enough to tolerate and respond to criticism here.
Designers: Don’t make it too easy to mess up
Steam has figured it out because they're the rake; it's like being the house at a casino where you let people gamble against each other at poker. You don't care who wins or who loses, because you're taking a cut of everything. Meanwhile, the user experience on Steam is getting worse all the time, and developers aren't really happy with them either.

And yes, Valve profits off you. But if you were the only game consumer there was, Steam would cease to exist.
Have you actually lived in Singapore? I don't know where you're from. I'm from the USA. And while I don't like everything SG does, having lived there I see trade offs.

In the USA I get freedom of speech (+). In exchange I get mugged on the streets, cars stolen, cars broken into, poverty all over, always having to be on my guard.

Then I go live in Singapore where I hate that the internet is filtered, there's no porn, but in exchange I always feel safe. Safe to walk pretty much anywhere at any time day or night. It's a nice feeling. For many people who experience it for a few years it's hard to go back to a place where you always have to look over your shoulder like SF, LA, NYC.
Yeah, only if customers pay that for me and as long as they pay. I don't have that many files on my own.
I disagree. While it is true that it is more expensive per GB, Dropbox has a lot of features that make it more fit for heavy lifting, such as:

* Chunked uploads. Try to modify a 1GB file in OneDrive. The complete file will be resynchronized. Dropbox just uploads the chunks that have changed.

* LAN sync. If you are sharing files with family/colleagues that are on the same network, Dropbox shares file chunks peer to peer. This usually results in much faster synchronisation than downloading from the cloud.

* Dropbox has file requests. People can upload files to your Dropbox, but what others upload is not visible.

* In my experience, the Dropbox client is a lot more stable than the OneDrive client on OS X. OneDrive crashes or sometimes cannot sync certain files.

To me the speediness, file requests, and more reliability is well worth whatever the price delta is.

(Note: I have both, but I only use OneDrive as an endpoint for Arq backups.)

QUEL's problem was not that it was for the elite but that Relational Technology (later named Ingres) did not have any sense on how to market and sell Ingres RDBMS and promote QUEL. Oracle's strength has always been marketing and sales and they started to take over the market quickly from Ingres in the first few years of commercial RDBMS.

Yes there were other players in the market at the time but in the very early days it really was Ingres versus Oracle.

For those of us that are older we know that Ingres was a result of Dr. Michael Stonebraker's work at Berkeley. There was at the time a university project known as Ingres and a commercial product known as Ingres. Yes postgres is what happened at Berkeley after Ingres.

I always loved QUEL and was downright pissed when it was ignored over the inferior SQL.
I grow weary of hearing about "white privilege". I likewise grow weary of any of today's politically correct messages: women in combat, bathroom bills, work quotas, transvestite rights. It's all BS.

I grew up a military brat. We didn't have a lot of money. I wore hand-me-downs, had iron-on patches on my knees. My family could not afford to send me to college, so I served in the military to get the GI Bill and worked my own way through college.

I'm over 40, in IT and no one ever gave me hand out in relation to any job or education.

Like an earlier poster said, I'm under no obligation to do anything. I believe in hard work. No one should be given a free ride because they are black, homosexual, female, whatever. Work your ass off to get where you want to be. Full stop. No one is under a moral or other obligation to get you in the door or ensure fair play. I'm not an asshole to people, but everyone has the same opportunities. I realize the military is not for everyone, but young men especially can really benefit. You can do a four-year hitch and have your college paid for. If you like it, you could re-up as an officer and the sky is the limit.

The problem with people today is they have a sense of entitlement that is misplaced. No one owes anyone anything other than moral decency: please, thank you, that kind of thing. Work hard, play hard. Life is better without handouts. You have a sense of fulfillment when you pull yourself up by your bootstraps.

More than speed, it's easier working with the Uint8ClampedArray since the values correlate to RGB values (0-255). If it was a matter of speed only, the author would have used Uint32Array, which gets the speed benefit of typed arrays but allows for larger values (meaning smaller overall array size, but it's more complex to work with).

If you hop down to the annotated source, you can see Uint32Array used here:

Dust.js is still awesome
Agreed. The term is just too loaded, designed to irritate. For instance the 'privilege' part. A word loaded to mean 'undeserved advantage'. The advantages are supposed to accrue to everyone; being white means being a whole person. Being black means having less than that. But the differences aren't undeserved; they are owed to everybody.

So the term seems to call out white people for stealing stuff they aren't entitled to. Instead of just having what everybody should have.

I detest the term; I bridle every time I hear it. And annoying the hell out of the people apparently in power, people able to do something about the problem, is a very crappy start to a conversation about race.

I'm a newsblur user but it is in no way a placement for reader. For one newsblur will only track the last 30 days of posts (or is it 30 news posts).

So for example in reader I might add site like Unity's blog. Reader would show the entire history as unread. I could then slowly go through all the old tutorials since they're all there. Newsblur I can't do that. It won't pull in stuff past a certain date/count.

That also means I can't just put some feeds on "low burn" mode where I keep them but only check them very seldom because the unread stuff will slide off of newsblur's limited post queue

Not disagreeing, but it still seems odd as the Netflix Original Content is the big carrot to get people hooked into their ecosystem.
I believe that if you are tagged in the photo (which resolves to a link to your account) then it is possible for that photo to show up in any of your Facebook friends' feeds (if your sharing permissions are too broad). However, once you delete your account I'm not sure if Facebook scrubs all those linkages.
I've been rather stunned at how no one has come up with a strong workaround to this yet. It's really quite simple, we just need slick, easy-to-use software for it.

Make software that both turns your home computer into a single-user VPN server, that lets you set the maximum upload bandwidth to ~5mbit/s or so, and lets you only pass through Netflix content; and also gives you a VPN client that lets you connect to another's computer and only uses the VPN for Netflix content, allowing your web browser and everything else to continue working through your regular ISP. The whitelisting eliminates the traditional concern of someone using your connection for torrents or worse illegal content. The bandwidth limiting ensures smooth QoS for your own network. Latency here is not a concern at all ... it's streaming video.

Once you have this software, it's simply a matter of setting up a message forum somewhere where people say, "I am from 'country X' and want to watch content from 'country Y'", and waiting for someone in the reverse situation to come along. As long as your connections are always-on, this works perfectly.

As an alternative to the fact that more people will want US Netflix than any other region, people could also offer server-only access for nominal Paypal fees. Eg lease out a 5mbit/s link for $10/mo. The price would naturally follow supply and demand.

I can change my IP any time, and there is no possible way Netflix can ban my hostmask as a VPN (all of Time Warner Cable in Columbus, Ohio.)

And if this forces Netflix to start charging by billing region ... good!! Now we can offer services that let people pay for the regions they want to access! Or if they try and block that too, then perhaps people sharing VPNs can share their account logins next.

Either way, this is a cat-and-mouse game with a very clear end-game. Why the hell is no one working on this problem? There are millions of people affected by this VPN block nonsense.

On that note, I have a US 300/20 connection I'd be happy to share, and I can do the software the hard way with BSD/pf. Is there anyone with an always-on JP connection that would like to trade with me? I would also be willing to pay someone for a residential ISP VPN connection in Japan, which I would use exclusively for Netflix only. I'd really love to be able to use Netflix Japan again; it's helped a lot with my listening comprehension in studying the language.

(Side note: this proxy software wouldn't have to be just Netflix. It could be a wonderful anti-geolocking system. The major VPN and VPS models are clearly detectable and blockable. This could allow fine-grained whitelisting or blacklisting and decentralization of VPN services.)

The deals they've signed with companies allow them to distribute shows X, Y, & Z in say the US other companies have the rights to that same show in Canada or the UK. Netflix can't just distribute the copyrighted content wherever they want and keep the media creating companies they rely on for content coming back to renew deals.
The only feature I want in addition to what Dropbox already gives me is a little box I can check that says "Never Delete Anything."

That's it.

Just never give me the option of permanently erasing an entire folder of photos from every machine I've ever owned just because I mess up your wacky Selective Sync workflow.

I understand that there exist people who actually want all their machines to sync destructive changes, but I've never met one of them. More often, I see people lamenting that they deleted something important a year ago, thinking it was still backed up, but now it's gone.

So yeah, you're not a backup service, you're just sync. I get that. But please please be a little less syncy and a little more backupy and you'll fit the worldview of a lot more people.

It sounds like this is a step towards this (and four thousand steps past it), so at least we're getting close.
Yes, I'd like to see OwnCloud develop something like this. At least that way, I'd be able to use it on my system; even if OwnCloud themselves don't build it for Linux, I'd be able to make my own on contribute it, unlike with Dropbox.
How to Monitor Mobile App Traffic with Sniffers
A lot of preferences don't differ; no one likes to be discriminated against, harassed, intimidated, made to feel stupid, etc.

Yet we know from data and endless personal stories that many women start out performing well and enjoying math and science in school, but then leave computing fields for cultural reasons--they feel uncomfortable or like there is a hard glass ceiling.

That is the problem--not the raw participation numbers, but the reasons behind the numbers.

If there was some natural preference of women away from computing, then the percentage of women in programming would be relatively fixed over time. What the data shows is that women have left computing fields in dramatic number over the last 30 years. Every study into why has shown that, to some extent, they have been driven out.
I work at a manufacturing company.

The carts are like little flat bed trucks, and they do one thing: move empty and full bins from station to station, and the warehouse. They have rollers on the flatbed part, that push bins over to the hole in the wall at a station. The hole in the wall has similar rollers. They follow a set route along the wall of a hallway that's used by people and the carts.
