This just shows the direction in which they aim.

It doesn't directly concern me (after Snowden's revelations and the fact that even more surveillance is being pushed down our throats, I have decided not to return to the US anymore), but we know that all the big (US) web/tech companies are part of Prism, which means the Customs will have some sort of access to our social media activity anyway (if not now already, then soon).

> You have no obligation to use social media

Here's what worries me: let's say they set up some kind of scoring system. If you don't use social media, there's no info on you there so your score is 0. If you have an account with anti-government propaganda, that lowers your score obviously.

Now at some point, anyone with a score less than strictly positive will be subject to extra background screening / denied entry. You still have no obligation to use a social media account in a way that nets you a positive score, but they have no obligation to let you in either.

Someone, somewhere might have looked at China's "citizen score" system and thought it was a good idea. You have no obligation to support the Party on social media but it can be taken into account in job applications.

Commonwealth and Irish citizens resident in UK could vote, whereas resident EU citizens could not.

A democracy is about people whose lives will be significantly affected by a decision having a right to take part in the decision-making.

Why this logic was applied to resident Commonwealth and Irish citizens differently from residents from EU?
As a librarian using my summer weeding, I can tell you that that is not the case. Having a large, irrelevant, unruly collection is a great way to make a library useless for the users.
A library is not an archive. Other collections take care of long term storage. Primarily national libraries through legal deposits.

Edit: Worldcat shows 570 libraries have the magazine in their collection, and every library worth its salt can get it from them by inter library loan. So its not hard to get your hands on by a long shot.

I'm with you. As far I'm concerned, Answer Puritans are more harmful than Help Vampires.

Just as you mention, for most questions on StackOverflow, there is at least one "Never Do That!" answer. Nobody seems to be aware that users seldom care enough about the sites the visit to "Read the FAQ" and no matter how many of them you hunt down and guilt, you will never find them all. The site has so much moral righteousness, it's kind of like the "Stanford Prison Experiment" of help sites.

While StackOverflow has many good qualities, it makes the mistake of "blaming the customer." It's an illusion to think you can improve a site by making people feel bad. The energy they spend on hunting witches, would be better spent on ways to fix the quality problem that focus on carrots only.

The problem with addressing question quality by making people feel bad, is that you're setting yourself up to be (ugh) "disrupted." As soon as someone finds a way to get the same quality of results without all the pithiness, and finger pointing, you're at a big disadvantage.
I suppose the NSA would penetrate that in a heart beat.

So you would just brand yourself as proven liar - and end up having an even higher risk of being rejected at the border.

You see where this is going. If you use social media, you will have to state the truth. And you know where that leads to.
I think when people talk about using an ORM or not they're mostly talking about using a LINQ-like wrapper or not. There's maybe a conversation to be had about some kind of fancier features on top of your ORM and whether they're worth it, but I don't think those kind of features are what people usually mean when they talk about ORMs (whether they're technically what the acronym "should" mean or not).

I could never quite understand the divide between Bayesian statistics and frequentist statistics. Both seem to be ultimately about counting the frequency by which something occurs and normalizing this frequency with respect to the number of all possible outcomes. Bayesian statistics essentially is concerned with the application of the Bayesian updating technique by which one can iteratively improve a distribution over the values a parameter toward the true distribution using Bayes' rule. One can prove that given sufficiently many updates, the initial distribution does not matter as long it is non-zero for all possible values.

What I am not quite seeing is how this has philosophical implications which divide the field into Frequentists and Bayesians. It rather seems that Bayesian statistics is just a frequentist method that is helpful for dealing with noisy measurements as one can always recover from a bad distributions using more updates.
Average distance from points in a unit circle to center is 2/3; average distance from points in a unit sphere to center is 3/4. Or if you prefer squares and cubes, you are essentially replacing a sqrt(2) diagonal with a sqrt(3) triagonal.

Even worse, surface area available for heat dissipation grows quadratically, while volume and therefore heat generated grows cubically. That's why 3D memory is a thing (most memory cells are not active at any given time), but seriously 3D processors (trigate notwithstanding) are not.

I was describing a syntax I'd like starting from the idea that the compiler should bend to developers and not viceversa.

Let's see if we can make it work.

func (n)to(m)do(blk) could be syntactic sugar for to:do: funci (n, m, blk). I saw funci in the examples, I didn't investigate if there are other type of function definitions. However, if the definition starts with (arg) it should be easy to map it into a funci. This either solves the problem of name clashes with other libraries, or the problem is unsolved right now.

The block passing is more serious. Maybe we could mark blk in such a way we know it's a block. Ruby uses & as in

func (n)to(m)do(&blk)

Maybe Spry uses & in an incompatible way and I don't like it much anyway. It's developers bending to the compiler, but let's be realistic: we don't want slow compilers.

What Ruby also does is having a yield keyword that calls an anonymous block passed at the invocation point of the function (a method in Ruby's world). The block is not declared as argument of the function/method. Maybe:

func (n)to(m)do() { # an empty arg is a block
x = n
...
do x
...
}

1 to 5 do { echo x }

But I think this is getting far away from the way of Spry.
Until article 50 is invoked we're not out. And until that happens why should I accept it?
The EU is no less democratic than the UK itself, and talk of "taking back democratic control of my country" is xenophobic even if you don't intend it to be. the EU is not the "other", they don't impose on us because we are part of it.
Plenty, such works are hard work with limited openings, an apprentice might have to go through this for years with very low wages since they are getting free training and yet have no prospects for work until the master retires. What young person wants that or has the patience for that today? Trying to train someone last minute is with risks since such candidates might drop out. The ideal thing to do would be to hire multiple candidates, pay them really well and pick the best or two 2 at the very end.

You presume the referendum will be based on sound analysis. If there's one thing the EUref has shown it's that you don't need sound analysis. It also depends heavily on how the UK does in the coming year. The UK needs to be economically and politically powerful enough that it's not worth giving up for self determination. It doesn't need to be a better deal, it has to be better enough to defeat romantic notions of independence.

Disney also has special flight restrictions, which Congress, not the FAA, mandated. Nominally described as an anti-terrorist measure, I agree with the many who say it was to prevent aerial advertising and sightseeing helicopters.

In Florida they have their own special tax district, the Reedy Creek Improvement District. It is "exempt from all county and most state regulations, such as development-impact fees or costly and time-consuming regional-impact studies. The district is regulated by building codes drafted with the developer`s help. Waterways, utilities and sewer systems are built to suit the developer`s needs. The district is governed by a ruling body that is handpicked by the developer." http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1987-02-23/business/8701120...

All fine points, but generally in democracy, the time to educate the voting public and raise issues like disenfranchisement is before the vote, not after.

Obviously, the losing side of any politcal battle will always want a redo. And obviously the winners will always prefer to keep the results as they are. Letting the losers try again until they win is like a DOS attack.

Btw, I totally agree though that leaving something like succession up to a simple majority is crazy. Seems 2/3 is more appropriate for big things like this, going to war, and what not.

At entry, Israeli border police check the online presence of a few people. This includes people, both Muslims and non-Muslims, identified as possibly being anti-Israel activists.

There were dreadful lies on both sides.

Mould is not like dirt that can just be rubbed off the product. If a package of strawberries has some mouldy berries in it, then that mould has already spread to its neighbours without being visible. All they're doing is repackaging the berries that don't have any visible mould on them, and that mould will grow very quickly.

If you buy a supposedly "mould-free" bundle that was repackaged from a mouldy bundle, the entire batch is likely to rot within a day or two of purchase.

While I found ng1 useful, I'll never touch this one. I can see now how dependency injection can be both a blessing and also a curse in some contexts. I also can see how Typescript features can shape a codebase and ultimately make it look like Enterprise Java, instead of making it easy to use and to learn.

I also just don't like the over use of non standard features like decorators. There is a chance they don't make it to the spec, what then ?
Y Combinator’s Xerox Alto: restoring the legendary 1970s GUI computer
I've been in China for 5years now. Wechat payment is awesome and made my life way easier! I pay my rent/taxi/friends/errands/restaurants with wechat. It's faster to pay with it than cash or credit card. Almost every shop accept it.

It also change my life when dealing money with people. Everyone can transfer money to each other, and people assume that everyone has it (what is 95% true in my social circle). I don't need to have cash, credit card, and don't have to deal with change/money issues anymore with them. You do not need to see people physically, or ask any bank information.

There is also pretty fun to I see in many group I am in (from 2 to 500 people). You can send "Red envelopes". You set the amount of it, to how many winner you want, and if the ammount is random across people winning or not). The others don't know the amount of money in it. The X first(s) to open the red envelope get the money. I believe this increase the stickiness of the group you're in. I know some group sending many red envelops a day (for any kind of reasons). I also believe the number of red envelops sent increased a lot during the Chinese new year (It's a tradition to give red envelope during CNY).

For the fee: After 20k RMB , you'll have to pay a 0.1% fee on on every transfer. The limit is reset every month. You can also put back the money in your bank. The limit is 1K rmb/week, if that exceeded, you pay some fee (can't remember how much).

We've known about COTRAVELER[1] for several years.

The basic idea of correlating arbitrary data (with timestamps) to estimate associations can easily be extended to other types of data. This is why almost any kind of data can potentially be "personally identifying". On it's own a random piece of analytics or "anonymized" data doesn't reveal much, but when you correlate many of those data points together you get a very nice fingerprint.

And that's just a a few SQL JOINs. I'm sure a lot more is possible with modern analysis techniques.

These lists in no way take account of ad revenue. For the average indie game ad revenue now makes up at least 50% of the gross daily revenue or if well integrated can make up 70 or even 90% if the game is an advergame like the Ketchapps one finger frustration games.

There is still quite a lot of revenue in the market place, just like there is on web. You need to be shrewd and think more about business than just creating and releasing a fun game.
After spending 34 years without any photographs of myself landing on social media, my grandmother put up a photo of me on Facebook. I felt bad scolding her, because she really doesn't know any better. ...which is odd, because she was alive for the years when certain governments were identifying their homosexual and ethnic citizens and sending them off to gas chambers and/or internment camps.

I worry that Facebook and its ilk will be a lot more effective than IBM's punchcard system for locating, identifying, and classifying their society's undesirables.
The thing is that Smalltalk do not have language constructs like loops or conditionals ifs/switch. Smalltalk also do not have functions only methods. There are only objects and messages.

I'm sure that there are lines somewhere between 'taking things seriously', 'overreacting' and 'making examples of people'. Ask a stupid question, expect a stupid answer. It's a stupid question because nobody in their right mind would answer 'yes' to the question which just leaves people with a language barrier (which have a high incidence rate at borders), people that are nervous and/or tired (ditto, probably including some of the guards) and people that are trying to relieve the situation by attempting to be funny (stupid, but understandable since humor has been since time immemorial a natural release for tension).
