I think an important point which is related is that these companies control information. DMCA requests and the companies issuing them have become much more sophisticated. The joke is that Bing is much better for porn. However, I personally have noticed many files, images and other media have completely disappeared from google results.

The amount of information on the internet is of course staggering, but no one seems concerned that it is accessed through a very tightly controlled pipeline.

edit: not sure how anyone could disagree that the english speaking internet is almost exclusively controlled by google and (to a lesser extent Microsoft). Chrome and Edge/Explorer have ~67% of browser market share and google has ~75% SE market share while bing has ~7%. 2 companies collectively control the environment and on ramp to the english speaking internet. Facebook (and now microsoft with the purchase of linkedin) as well as google control the bulk of people's online identitites.

Iterators are monadic (since they have a flat_map method), Option and Result have the and_then method. Both of these are equivalent to >>=/bind.

The fact that they don't implement pure/return doesn't change the fact that they have monadic interfaces because that would only be useful once it was generalized to its own trait, and such a function would be trivially implemented for any of these types. For example, Some(x) works as the return/pure function for Option and the fact that the name differs for each type is not an issue because there's no way to make code generic over all monads as it is. It would be like having a unique trait for each type where there's `bind_option` and `bind_result`, etc.
> For issues that matter to a smaller number of people a political union can help as there is a bigger and more diverse voice for that particular issue

This reminds me of the old joke about regular expressions, which I'll paraphrase thus: Someone has a problem, and they say, hey, I'll just get the government to fix it! Now they have two problems.

The only reason why small groups of people with a common issue have to have a political voice is that big governments give out special privileges to people, so every interest group has to lobby to get the privileges given to them instead of someone else. But if governments couldn't give special privileges to anyone, then nobody would have to lobby for them.
Does anyone actually refer to a "cheatsheet" when they are hacking? Or do they just use Google? It makes me laugh to think someone has some of this stuff printed by their desk for an emergency. For example, "gcc -o exploit exploit.c".

Also, this looks like a ripoff of http://www.amazon.com/Rtfm-Red-Team-Field-Manual/dp/14942955....
I think it's being used to mean a sort of playing around.
Message passing (and by extension Smalltalk/Squeak) suffers from LISP disease, the notion that because the system makes no constraints on program structure, it can do anything, and therefore is maximally powerful. But "can do anything" is different from "does anything". In real programs you have to solve performance, security, evolving product features needs, a growing team of contributors , static analysis tools to make global changes to the axioms of the system, all those details that matter when software leaves the lab and enters industry.
I think companies are free to do what people are willing to subject themselves too, but I also think that people are also free to subvert/undermine/exploit such. From some ip addr locations, their TOS are toothless (as well as the legal repercussions of ignoring such).
If it's that company's site then I don't see who else has any business getting involved. Do you want someone telling you what (legal) content you can or can't show? Why?
Why is an aging population a problem? Older people are more experienced, wiser, and less likely to be violent.

If a young population was such a great thing, why are Chad, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Mozambique, South Sudan, Zambiam Malawi, Mali, Uganda, Niger all such basket cases?

The only real problem with an aging population is the pension system. This problem can easily be solved by raising the age of retirement.
It is the distinction between pictures and photographs: they definitively are pictures of atoms, but they aren't nor could ever be photographs.

Ultrasounds also are pictures, but not photographs.
That's a pretty terrible adage when it's different people. Unless you're applying that rule to all program downloads across the web.
Well Tizen's openness is a lie too, at least in wearables. Both Gear S & Gear 2 are already depreciated by Samsung, and the wearable image you can build yourself from source is missing most key components you would use on a watch (for example, you won't have S Health is closed source, Nokia maps -included in Gear S- is closed source too), and even the sensor framework is unusable in an opensource form, since half of the apis are closed and undocumented (you can check all this by taking a look at the srpms from build.tizen.org)

Even if you could overcome that, you would still need to make your own companion app for the phone and framework, since all that is Samsung proprietary too.

That's exactly why I'm the sole mantainer of Gear 2 & Gear S Android Wear ports...

IMHO it would be easier to clean up AOSP and make an open variant of Android Wear, rather than reimplement it all from scratch, but who doesn't like a challenge! At least they can use some parts of Nemo/Sailfish OS
One-instruction computers intrigue me because of the possibility of making the processor out of a ridiculously low number of transistors. To that effect, I've always wanted to implement one that doesn't require a hardware adder for the instruction pointer. It seems like it should be possible. For example, each clock cycle the CPU would take the NAND of the bit pointed to by the IP and the bit adjacent to it (via flipping the LSB of the IP) and use the result to determine a new value of the IP using very simple logic (E.g. IP = IP<<1 | NAND(mem[IP], mem[IP ^ 1]) ). But surprisingly, I've never seen this done and the last time I approached it I didn't have the knowledge needed to choose an appropriate scheme and prove its usability.
Given that the "Establishment" is seen as a very London thing and very pro EU (see the results for London) I'm not sure that hangs together. Nobody was rebelling by voting Remain!
He was front and center in russian media when he spoke about US — but without even checking, I can guarantee you that this will not appear on a single TV channel and will be downplayed in any media that decides to run the story.
They can do whatever they want but we can comment on whether they're accomplishing what they think they are or if they're creating a culture of closed dialog. When multiple major companies start taking similar policies for manipulating content we can and should call out the trend if for no other reason than to discuss its pros and cons.
Both Tumblr and Facebook do indeed replace off-page content in the DOM with placeholders. A chrome extension I am making that makes an offline copy of a page will make a snapshot of the page content with the hidden DOM elements in place, as can be seen here: http://i.imgur.com/bwGA0tp.jpg. Also - previously I worked at Tumblr, so familiar with the code base driving the dashboard.

While this technique does save on immediate memory consumption, I am sure that maintaining the stack still causes eventual slow downs.
Or as US Supreme Court Justice Stewart said:

"I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description, and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it, and the motion picture involved in this case is not that."

Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_know_it_when_I_see_it

That was in reference to identifying "hardcore pornography" but seems appropriate in talking about hate speech, threats, bullying, and a variety of other issues.
It won't cost him anything because nobody in Russia will care much about it: those few who will hear about already made their mind about it, one way or another.
There has to be more to this story.. can't be that simple can it? ?
An astute observation.

Additionally, consider how Cruz and Rubio pretended to have some meaningful difference in their stance on the gang of eight immigration reform bill. There was no real substantive debate about immigration in general - the focus was on drawing a contrast for voters.
Your comments comes across as if this was a change in his behavior. But his criticism of Russia is not new, so "now he's learning Realpolitik" makes no sense.

For example, a headline from Sept 2015 - "Snowden criticises Russia for approach to internet and homosexuality" - https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/sep/05/snowden-crit...
They need broad rules because whatever rule you come up with, some clown is going to try and get around it. Or just post something obviously against the spirit of the rules then argue about it. Users don't have a stake in Facebook, YouTube etc, but the companies running them do. They'd probably all prefer to just have "don't be a dick" but we live in a world full of pedants and lawyers and professional irritants so by having something a little more concrete it preempts a lot of rather tedious complaints.

If you're a rebel prophet with something exciting to say then no-ones stopping you paying a small amount of money for a domain name and hosting and away you go. If you can't do that then I'd agree there's censorship and there's a problem. Other than that, you should have absolutely no expectation that other people are going to do the heavy lifting for you, whether that's paying for your hosting/bandwidth, or taking the heat when users, advertisers etc complain about your content.
I think his theory is inconsistent with the pro-brexit group being older, and the anti being younger.. But I think both the brexit group and Trump express the right wing disillusionment, which seem to be older people that thought they were in the political/economic in group and ended up marginalized with nothing relevant to the globally connected youth. I'm not sure older Scotts would have believed they were in the in-group in terms of UK power or economy.
Step 1. Begin writing a parser.

Step 2. Notice that writing functions parsing "expressions," "expressions without equals signs," "expressions without equals signs or plus/minus signs," ... is very repetitive.

Step 3. Being a competent programmer, find a way to solve that problem. (Instead of N functions, make one function that takes a parameter specifying the precedence level. Edit: Durr, I'm a moron, this doesn't really describe how to solve the problem of making N recursive calls. But still, you just figure it out, see my other post for how I actually tend to do it. Edit: Or judofyr's post describes it too.)
As recently as a few years ago I had a VI cheatsheet taped to my cubicle. For quick go-to commands when you're forgetful, things like this can be handy.
Rather amusing that you are citing the Daily Mail there - it's a ghastly mix of fear mongering and fashion.
bbcbasic was incomplete. He was bound for Ecuador, which had offered asylum. His planned to go through Moscow then Havana, but Cuba was not his final destination.

He was unable to carry out his plan because the US canceled his passport when he was in Moscow.
It's a good question, but many of these rural southern towns are very poor, and governed by conservative ideologues that have privatized all non-mandatory services.

These towns are required by federal law to provide school service to children within them, however, anything else like police, fire, and ambulance services are not required.

I think it's truly a shame that this has led to predatory practices by private companies who charge "fire insurance" rates of $500 a year, and charge exorbitant rates to people who might innocently dial 911 while their house is burning and don't have insurance.

For what it's worth, this is not normal practice in most civilized parts of the US (pretty much anywhere on the east and west coasts), but if you get far enough into the poor rural southern states, it really is like a 3rd world country.
unless they're the ones being bourgeoisie... hence the term "Limousine Liberal"....

I don't see folks like Michael Moore lining up to help these people with all of his money....
> I don't think anyone would tolerate even 5 whole minutes

And we don't. Still, it's called "mass media" for a reason. If you don't watch TV, you read the same on the internet, billboards, in the movies, video games, from your friends and family, co-workers, people calling your home at the dinner time etc. etc.

This is a well reported story. Federal law only requires towns to provide a basic education to K-12 students. Anything beyond that like police, fire, and ambulance service, is not mandatory.

If you choose to live in such a place, be prepared to be completely self sufficient.

If by "extremist content" you mean religious fanatics beheading people, or calling people to arms, or giving tips on producing bombs or whatever, then you are entitled to treat this as "unpopular ideas" which "need defending in a free society" or whatever, but don't be surprised if sane, rational people take a somewhat different view and decide they don't want to spread hatred, nor leave themselves open to lawsuits for the honour of hosting this content for free. All companies like to talk about fostering freedom or whatever, but as organisations which exist to make profit it's partly because censorship costs them money, and also the more content they have, the more of a surface they have to make money from. They don't really give a shit about you or your freedom, and there's precious little internal conflict about whether to host this months crop of terrorist atrocities.
Why do people confuse legality with morality? I can't legally stop Youtube from censoring videos. But I can criticize the practice, think it's unethical, or be concerned about the consequences.
Went through a similar situation recently and completely understand it can be tough. I had started building a product was releasing often and starting to build momentum and enough revenue to pay expenses, then I brought in a partner who was scared to sell a product that wasn't "perfect". Development all but stopped as we went in a circle of new feature, fix bugs, etc..

In the end I made the break, but wish I had done it sooner. I lost a significant amount of development headway and revenue opportunities by telling myself to just give it more time. I'm back to being a solo founder, rebuilding lost momentum, and generating a little revenue again. My motivation tripled after I made the break.

I know this isn't the exact situation and it wasn't your product to start, but my point is that the mental fight impacts you in the end and that part isn't worth the frustration in my opinion.

Good luck!
"Scotland and London are the only two regions that pay their own way. The rest live off subsidies from the UK and Europe. The ironies and cognitive dissonance of little Englanders never ceases."

I assume you don't live in England, or if you do you live in one of those two areas. It's not true at all. A lot of people travel daily to larger cities to work, making them look better than they are.

"What isn't mentioned is that the UK as a whole runs a deficit."

It's more about them running at more of a deficit. If you don't believe me, believe the Scottish [1].

"But Leave voters have shown themselves to be very susceptible to propaganda as long as it talks down "the other"."

I'm not a leave voter, if you're trying to use that against me.

Yes, it is hand-written. The parser is MUCH easier to build than the interesting/new parts of the compiler are. Lexing is the absolute easiest thing, then parsing is 2nd place.
`Option` et al may have vaguely monadic interfaces, but don't you need `return` in order to satisfy the monad laws?

Regardless of what we determine there, I don't think that matters in the broader context of this thread, which concerns the notions that Rust has the potential to scare people away by including unfamiliar "functional stuff". But seeing an `.and_then` method doesn't scream "functional programming"; method chaining has been long popularized in Javascript, Ruby, etc. Furthermore, AFAIK there's nothing about Rust's pseudo-monadic interfaces on iterators that hasn't already been popularized by LINQ in C#.
He was basically suing a widow because of a remark her husband made in a book (husband's version of a story). In other words, the person who he had a problem with was killed. He then continued to sue the estate (widow).

"Would it be different if it was a widower?"

I would still have a problem with continuing a lawsuit because of something a man's wife said.

"Or is that acceptable because men can deliver with things like that whereas women can barely cope with the grief of losing a man let alone all the legal stuff that is probably way over their head."

sigh... Its lines like this that make me think the divide is too great and our better angels are long gone. Sadly, I'm reluctant to give up my seat on buses or hold the door open these days because I don't know if I'll offend. Its so much easier to just ignore others and tune it all out and make like I'm oblivious.
I voted remain also, it's just tough luck.

What will be interesting now is whether Scotland really has the economy to survive on their own in the EU. Other smaller Countries have not yet been successful.

I'm really impressed by how easy it is to get NISTP256 key from the enclave. I think Intel got a lot of things right and then completely failed on the signing and attestation process. Hopefully we can see a future iteration of SGX that builds on this early promise.
Privatization sounds great when you can afford your own private services. Otherwise, tough luck, pull on those bootstraps harder.
Every single area of Scotland voted to stay in the EU - not sure if the detail in the results is clear enough to show deprived areas:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-3659...

The only place in Scotland that came close to not voting to remain was Moray, which is quite rural and not really that deprived.
No-one's saying you can't discuss it. But where's the discussion?

I just don't see how you one can say "company A has no right to decide what appears on company A's servers" without following up with some watertight legal or moral reason why this should not be the case. Of course they should be able to.
> this is not normal practice in most civilized parts of the US (pretty much anywhere on the east and west coasts)

Much of the interior of the US could be described as civilized...
Because we can?
The problem is that current social media software just makes it too easy for extremist bubbles to form. There is no feedback, no discussion, no diffusion, no guiding culture and plenty of false information spread by people who would be unable to publish anything to larger audiences if it wasn't practically for free. To a certain extent, economic systems do filter out people who are challenged at seeking truth. Internet technology has weakened this filter and here we are witnessing attempts at fixing this problem.
FRAYOKIT NEWS: NO FEWER THAN 14 KILLED BY UNKNOWN GUNMEN IN SOMALI HOTEL ATTACK
He did exfiltrate more than the specific programs he had issue with and trusted Greenwald et al to differentiate between public interest or not, which I've heard as a pragmatism issue (filtering in situ exceeding risk tolerance). I have yet to see any evidence that he has turned any data over to Russia beyond what has been published for all. I'm sure Russia would prefer he did, but that doesn't mean he did (or for that matter, that he didn't).

Just pissing off the USG is sufficiently explanatory for his being allowed to stay in Moscow, so I generally weakly hold the belief that he has not made extraordinary disclosures to Russia regarding things not published for public consumption.
As someone with Monetarist leanings ( which arguably makes me more "data driven" than the other branches, ironically ), I relate all this back to the Bank of England, that solemn engine of colonial oppression, being used as the template for all banking. The Fed balance sheet is being used as a prop in an economic horror movie.

It is indeed econometric myopia. We set 2% inflation targets and then fail to meet them. But production is inherently extrinsic to central banks. With a populace that thinks more and more like retired people, it's harder to get the fire lit.

I don't think it is. It's basically a covered up government imposed censorship.
This is the downside of IoT.

Give me devices and frameworks I can run myself. I don't want to be dependent on a third party for my god damn thermostat. (Which I now am. Going to look into it soon. Hoping it runs Linux so we can demand the source.)

It's not just about privacy, which is a huge and serious concern; but it's also about control. What happens when we lose control of our houses? Are we setting ourselves up for attacks by black hats or nation-state actors? I would hazard yes.

Are you ready for the IoT revolution? Because it's coming, and I think we're not ready.
I mentioned a few studies, but worded them poorly, but I wonder what you think about the fact that there's no significant correlation in personality traits between foster parents and their adopted children (fascinating, no?), and that these children have the same correlation with their biological parents regardless if they are raised in the same household or with foster parents.

Shouldn't the unique experience of an entirely different household have some effect on personality?
I recall a lecture that proposed the home/fire insurance companies own the fire departments and your policy includes fire department services. In theory it should ensure incentives are aligned but then there is the issue of logistics and scale.
This is a brilliant angle on an defining movie, the fairly flippant (and genuinely amusing) tone of the article belying very serious and in depth research. Indeed as a hobbyist font nut, I'm inspired to whip out Illustrator to try and recreate some of the designs so well detailed here. The self-destruct keyboard alone is a gem, the graphics on which are a perfect example of the transition period from 70s to 80s design themes. Bravo for bringing a 37-year old movie so effectively back to life from such an original perspective. Wish I had seen this in 2014.
Free market enterprise requires, AFAIK, 'creative destruction' (business failure, freeing resources for new enterprises) and distribution of goods to those who can pay more.

Therefore, I don't think it's a good solution when the specifications are that the institution cannot fail (e.g., you can't have the police department go out of business or otherwise fail to provide services), and when its good should be distributed regardless of ability to pay (e.g., voting, fire protection, etc.).
