In India too, you need ID card to get sim card. And your sim card is activated after verification. In west you don't need to? How does Security agencies collect data? India is quite free albeit there's a recent surge of fascism.
As Austrian, i am really glad about outcome of yesterdays election - still it was a really close one. And you are right - freedom party is far right imho - but they down-play that them selfs and gain a lot votes from people who are upset about the fact that the two big center parties didn't get any shit done in the last few years. And they have gotten good in playing that - just look at trump - telling the rage people what they want to here - even if it sounds irrational or are plain lies - just seems to work.

The criteria for censorship at the 20 points level - could be debated as - quite healthy criteria.

Criteria such as the government controlling online harassment is classed, rightly, as censorship. Political anarchy would be the reflection of 0 point score.

Is 0, 10, 20, even 30 or 40 points the optimum score: thats debatable. At the 80+ level, its really not debatable.
I doesn't solve the problem flat out, but it does make it much easier for an honest person to figure out what to do next. Not everybody is comfortable opening up a strangers computer to poke around for contact info, especially if they're also worried that they might be in trouble for having the computer in the first place.

Even more so if it's handed in to lost and found. Those guys are definitely not going to do forensics. Come to think if it, there's a good chance that the laptop is in the lost and found of whatever airport that woman was flying to, logged in as "PC (Other)".

As a a simple example, here in the UK the current Labour leadership is a throw-back to hard-left Labour and UKIP continues to gather support on the right. The current center-right Tories have enough support to govern and it looks like it will be at least another election cycle before center-left Blairites are in a position to challenge. Like US politics, sometimes changes at the upper levels can simply be the avalanche effect from a few shifts at the edges of the electorate.

There's plenty of good reporting in the West. The way to get informed is to read many viewpoints and form your own opinion. Stopping all non-government press would be terrible for a country's education, economic development, and general happiness.
IoT: What is the Problem? Why IoT won't make the company rich [pdf]
"Far right" has become a synonym for racist/anti-immigration, but it's important to note that many of these parties aren't actually right wing parties in any other sense.

Parties like "Dansk Folkeparti" in Denmark is pretty much Social Democrats, except they are harder on immigration. Leaving out the anti-immigration part, I would say that most of these parties are still to the left of both the Republican and Democratic party in the US.
That's an entirely separate matter - and kind of off-topic, considering how this thread is about Internet censorship, not treatment of dissenters.

I have admittedly not investigated it very deeply but the Beagle Bone Black seems good enough with compromises. AFAIK it will boot without a blob but contains one for the GPU (PowerVR). The device will run non-OpenGL stuff fine and I believe there is some progress on reverse engineering an open driver. There's armv7 (am335x) from OpenBSD which is my base indicator that it's at least somehow usable without any blobs.

I'll yield to more informed people but searching a reasonably useful and completely open (I guess I can live without HDL for everything but it would be nice) machine has been a quest I go on every now and then. ARM seems to be the best (and most affordable) bet. I'll gladly take other suggestions as the whole ARM licensing model doesn't really sit well with me.
I don't think we have the same definition for freedom. Here's one freedom that we do have: I have the freedom to denounce China's attitude towards censorship and you're free to counteract with other arguments, leading us to dialog, on a public forum.

And on people dying, that's just another way of saying that great sacrifice has been made for us to enjoy the lifestyle and freedoms that we do have, so we can't trade those so easily, because then our children will have to repay that price.

On the other hand, in the French chart "DivD" is listed as far right when it's just a collection of non-affiliated right-wing candidates going from center-right to far-right.
It presents emotionally loaded imagery that is easily corroborated but has no relevance to the rest of the article. This is an attempt to look like journalism.

It then drops into a bunch of paranoid raving with nothing to back it up.

"How many people are aware that a world war has begun? At present, it is a war of propaganda, of lies and distraction, but this can change instantaneously with the first mistaken order, the first missile." So it hasn't begun? Does anyone find this platitude profound?

No idea why it's on the front page. Certainly not worthy of commentary.

Hmm, I wouldn't place Cameron as far-right. He's in charge of a right wing party with a large minority of far right members, but he's actually fighting his own party to stay in Europe. So Right, but not Far-Right.

The far-right in the UK is UKIP and a bunch of Conservatives who are basically UKIP, but don't want to risk losing their seat by jumping ship.

> You'll eventually sweep

That's the key here. Eventually. When it is convenient to do so. You have a very fine grained control over when sweeper process may do its dirty job.

It's far more complicated with RC to ensure that it only does a certain small amount of work once in a while.

And with a loop detection, you have to do everything at once.

Also, with mark&sweep you can keep your tags somewhere else altogether and avoid touching (and invalidating) the actual data at all, at no additional cost.
What seems to be happening in the background is an increasing divide between rural and urban areas, where the rural areas vote for populist right-wing politicians (Trump, FPÖ, AfD, Front National) while the urban areas vote for left wing (in the European sense) or liberal (in the US sense) parties. Most illustrative for this are the results of sunday's Austrian presidential elections, where the voters had to choose between a right-wing, populist candidate (in blue) and a left-wing, liberal candidate (in green):
http://derstandard.at/2000037433421/Ab-1700-Hochrechnungen-u...

Overlay it with a map of Austria and the rural areas voted very strongly for the right-wing candidate while the larger cities (Vienna, Innsbruck, Graz,...) voted for the green candidate. I'd really like to find the chance to overlay the last elections results for UKIP, Sweden Democrats, Trump, AfD etc. with population density maps.
Here is what I do:

1) Enable disk encryption (System Preferences -> Security and Privacy -> FileVault)

2) Regular backups with TimeMachine to a USB drive. It your machine is lost you can use this to restore everything back to how it was pretty quickly. By default TimeMachine backups aren't encrypted, so make sure you check the "Encrypt backups" option when enabling it.

3) As well as using "Find my iPhone" (which requires the device to be connected to a network), I have a message with my contact details on the Lock and Login screens (System Preferences -> Security and Privacy -> General -> Show a message when the screen is locked).

4) Even if the disk is encrypted it can still be wiped, reinstalled and sold on to unsuspecting buyers. You can set a firmware password which will prevent that: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204455

(I had a Mac stolen a couple of years ago and as soon as I got a new device and got home I was back up and running as if nothing had happened. A few months later I even recovered the device - the police carried out a raid and found a number of devices, and contacted Apple for the owners based upon the serial numbers)
Interesting you made this?
It's a question whether many of them are actually racist too. People use 'racist' to marginalize discussion of cultural preferences.
Yeah, it would have been interesting to see how many parties were on hard left too - not that I'm equating the two things morally.

In the UK there is a lot of rhetoric that Europe is moving toward the far right rapidly. But if you look at the big players, in Germany, Italy and Spain the far right wing plays almost no role, in France it does but that has not changed appreciably over time.

Meanwhile, in the UK I think story of UKIP is complicated because, while it is clearly appealing to far right themes, essentially it's a single issue party about EU membership.

What UKIP would do if the UK decides to remain (or leave?) the EU is quite hard to foresee.

I'd suggest the picture is messy enough that you can read whatever your pet theory is into it. If there is another deep recession then anything could happen, but you can always say that.
FYI in Ireland where I live GM foods are present in animal feed (or at least they are in the layers pellets I feed my chickens, so I'd guess they're in pretty much all commercially-reared animal products), and therefore there is GM material in the human food chain. It's the same in the UK http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3461226/Most-superma... Maybe there's so much less as to make the US/UK comparison valid, but it's not true to say GM foods are "virtually unknown" in the UK

> How exactly?

Heap fills up, you need a full collection. During that collection your program is running and allocating, but runs out of space, so it grinds to a halt.

Look, there is a reason why Rust is a thing, why realtime collectors are only used in niche cases, why there are people whose sole job is to fix GC issues, why there are people programming in Java/C# very carefully to ensure that a full heap collection never happens, etc. GC isn't a magic bullet.

By the standards of some European countries, Obama is far-right, but Obama becoming president was certainly not a sign of a shift to the right in American politics.

What matters here is where parties and politicians lie compared to the historical norms of their country, and Cameron is far closer to that then, say, Thatcher.

That's true. And in the OOP case you usually have exception handling (i.e. try/catch blocks) as well, instead of "goto error" style error handling which is common in C.
I wish people would realize they're just some of the different tools in the memory/resource management toolbox.

Neither is the best option in every case.

At which point you start making RC behave more like tracing collectors, so why not start with them in first place?

Also there are generational tracing compacting collectors with (almost) no pauses, so I doubt such approach wins over them when measuring performance and fragmentation across application usages.
You mean 50,3% to 49,7% ;)
How far do we have to go before abolishing the 'right/left' distinction? It's very complicated nowadays. The US by european standards only has "conservative right" and progressive right". The far right in europe is actually national socialism. The far left (e.g. syriza in greece, maybe podemos in the future) caves in to market forces because it needs the market more than they need them. Centre-right germany is socialist according to americans. Communist china is way more capitalist than socialist sweden.

Since most countries have become two-party systems, what does right/left dictate? social progress vs traditionalism? centralization vs the opposite? equal opportunity vs equal outcome? It sure as hell is not about the economic policies anymore.
> The actual garbage collection in all collectors is proportional to the amount of data that needs to be deleted.

This is false, copying GC is a simple counterexample
And _in principle_ I'd say that's a good thing. If all we have is a bunch of parties crowded around the center, there isn't anything left for voters to choose.

Two questions:

1. what percentage of the population turns out to vote in Austria?

2. what level of education is most common in Austria?

I have a hard time believing well educated people turn out in droves to vote for the hard right - I mean sure, there is always a percentage and many fiscally conservative people come from money so they tend to be educated, but as I understand it, that's not what they were voting for in Austria, they were basically voting for social conservatism which is anti-immigration, etc.

Then again that percentage is pretty much what the US faces in every Red vs Blue presidential election in the past half-century.
>if advertisers establish metrics that are more closely aligned with their objectives then we'd all be better off

Disagree. Thats a personal value judgment and an ethical perspective viewing efficient corporations as utilitarian bodies fulfilling the greater good.
The "moving to the right" analysis is wrong both in Europa and in the US where claims of Fascism seems to be the primary analysis of Trump.

What we are seeing is an increasing number of people seeing no fundamental benefit of globalization or technology who are simply using their democratic voice to say "hey what about us?"

These are voters who have been completely ignored by the politicians both in the US and in Europe who have been more busy with pushing technology, globalization, outsourcing and insourcing cheap labour.

To confuse this with what we normally consider right-wing is not only getting the analysis wrong but also show why Trump so repeatedly have been underestimated.

In Europe the "right wing" parties have repeatedly been doing better than any poll predicted I expect the same thing will happen in the US with Trump.

They are not racist or facists. They are just afraid of the change that is hitting them and have no other way of expressing this fear. In Europe and in the US.
It started a conversation, didn't it?

This is an American news outlet. In the US the republicans ("right") are usually depicted in red, and democrats (slightly less "right") in blue.

> The number of live objects is proportional to the amount of total memory allocated.

No, that's not right. The number (or ratio) of live objects depends on application behavior. According to the weak generational hypothesis, most objects die young, so a garbage collector that only touches live objects (e.g. tracing) does no work at all for the most objects.

The actual survival rate is complex and depends on application behavior, but typical well-tuned GC systems often see survival rates from young generation collections around 10%--that means that only 10% of objects ever occur any GC overhead. Those 90% of quickly dying objects do, however, take up memory and cache space until they are reclaimed. IMO that is only remaining situation where manual memory management can outperform GC by wide margins: when a program can carefully reuse recently allocated memory to keep reusing the same cache lines.
Two sided sword. If the person that took the laptop is actually a thief he/she conveniently knows you're currently not at home upon boot.
Since this theft requires at least some criminal energy (I guess there's an outside shot of just being a grab and run) I wouldn't put it past the thief to immediately loot your home or have an accomplice do so.

Utter lack of accountability for government officials, no matter how badly or systemically you screw up you'll never face any consequences for it.

Actually, the justice system even actively rewards law enforcement for abusing their powers in a blatantly illegal manner. In this country we don't have the concept of "fruit of the poisonous tree", which in combination with police writing their own search "warrants" results in a perverse system where they can just march into anyones home. seize whatever they want and no matter what that'll be admissible in court.

Now, it might actually be possible for this system to actually work if there was some level of accountability here. But no, if a police officer straight up falsifies the reasoning behind a search warrant, they will not face any kind of repercussions for that. Why would they? It's a win for them. Only thing you'll get from suing them is a symbolic piece of paper that says that the police acted wrong, and maybe a few hundred euros in compensation.

Unsurprisingly, Finland has repeatedly lost cases relating to such searches in the ECHR. Very little has resulted from those losses.

I wouldn't say it's globalism per se. More that in a recession everyone looks for someone to blame. It's far easier to blame "those dirty foreigners" than it is to accept the vagaries of economics. Or that maybe the blame is almost entirely on ourselves.

It's a kind of fundamental attribution error [1]. People are very quick to blame others for their personal characteristics ie. lazy foreigners (personal), no good scroungers of welfare (personal), instead of the situational context of recession/war/etc. Whereas when it comes to talking about themselves, they're hard working people who just can't get a break (situational), the recession is at fault (situational), no education because my teachers were bad and the school was crap (situational), the foreigners took our jobs (situational)...
