Honestly, you know what? This is fine.

The insistence of US media companies to continue geographically restricting content in an effort to make a few extra bucks has done more to kill US cultural imperialism than decades of "home grown" efforts. As a concrete example, in the past few years there has been an explosion of GoT-style dramas in Turkey (which they've even begun exporting to neighbors in the region).

Perhaps not surprisingly, this season GoT was available same-day on Turkish cable, with either dubbed or original voice tracks.
Indeed! I wasn't my intention to reduce it just that one freedom, I merely wanted to address that specific comment.

My current-favorite problem with modern web development is mobile-specific redirection.

e.g. you click a link in your email and it takes you to "www.foo.com/somethingWithParametersAndImportantStuff", foo.com detects you're on a phone and redirects you to their mobile homepage at "m.foo.com", blowing away your URL or even better not supporting your particular URL's page in the mobile site... where... your mobile browser could've just rendered the original site, albeit pinched.

It comes to mind because I'm currently dealing with this as an issue with UPS.com. We're halfway to 2017, people! How can we be having these problems.... :-)
So, with DST, the sunrise variance goes from 4 hours, to two hours, right? 5:30am in May, and 7:XX in January?
To me a "burner" is a phone you use and discard. I suppose by following these steps you could discard the phone without much concern for what could be retrieved but the same would be true of a phone you can choose to wipe before discarding.

I'm a little surprised using a VPN isn't on this list, in addition to, not instead of anything on the list. The list pretty much limits communication to encrypted channels but adding a VPN would conceal even which channels you use (not from shoulder surfing).
My friend's wife told him to order a cheap barbell from Amazon. I pointed out that reviews said it have broken in half during use. They bought it, and it broke in half on the first use.

Based on the kind of crazy dangerous shit that ends up on Amazon and stays on Amazon, I wonder what kinds of things they are catching and blocking from being sold?

The number of verticals of items I won't buy off Amazon has increased. Between spending a lot of time looking at the search results, ordering something that sucks, sometimes its easier, faster, and cheaper to go to Target.

The thing about politics and economics is that they build the effects of people breaking the rules right into their calculations. Econ has concepts like breakage, politics has straight-up watched thousands of political orders get upended by various people with various goals including "because fuck you, that's why". And they've quietly worked out ways to correct such perversions and keep everything reasonably smooth.

Nothing breaks the rules of either because failure is built right into the system, the stakes are too high to allow such systems to remain brittle. Capitalism is bigger than individuals, firms, collections of firms, entire industries, groups of industries trying to coerce the system. People once thought OPEC could bring down the global order. Never happened. People thought the very existence of nuclear weapons put humanity on a clear path to annihilation. Also didn't happen, but it was hairy for awhile.

This was a good step forward from last year, where they released the season pass episodes 2 weeks after the airing in the US
Linux letting go: 32-bit builds on the way out
If you decide to follow an entropy source and I see the same output as you I can predict your behavior. Free will must be unpredictable as it does not depend on the past state of the universe. (Unless you mean an entropy source outside of the 'universe' which is a rather strange a circular requirement for free will.)

Now, you can argue for a lesser form of free will which is influenced, but not dependent on the state of the universe. However, that's progress even if somewhat obvious.
Hmm, you're right, I'm not sure what will happen to the license itself. It's just what I do when I need to develop for systems that I won't use for other things.
Not a judgment as to whether it is too small or too large, but on Chrome on my laptop, the debug mode says it is using Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif, 10 pt.

If I open up a brand new Word file at 100% and take some identical text and set the format to Verdana 8 pt, in Word it still looks considerably larger. It appears to be actually showing up as 7 point, or close to it. Which is much smaller than I would normally use for just about anything -- editing text, viewing a PDF or technical manual, etc.

And this honestly seems to be common across much of Europe, as an American, why is this? I get it that America is not perfect (we're messed up in plenty of ways), but we do have a very entrepreneurial mindset as a society. Why is so much of Europe risk adverse?

It isn't that Europe doesn't have tech workers as good or better than the US, I work with a ton of brilliant Europeans . I just can't get why the Facebooks, the Googles, the Microsofts, the Apples, etc are so US centric. I'm clearly missing something obvious and am curious if you happen to understand why that is. Granted I've only been to maybe 6-7 countries in the EU and Berlin seemed to be the most startup friendly of the cities I've visited, but it still blows my mind why there aren't more successful startups from Europe.

The content in question is new. Ethics definitely play a role. For the record, I tend to be on the side of "if you can't buy it legally, get it illegally", but if there is any ethical role for copyright it is visible here.

This is 'The Cathedral and the Bazaar'. I've often seen the phrase used to contrast Microsoft/Apple with 'open source in general', but it's this right here: a fully integrated and designed system contrasted with an organically created system. Which approach is better is up for discussion.

They don't need to. Look at the situation outside the EU. People move to work in many countries outside the EU without the same type of 'freedom of labour and movement' deals. If you think leaving the EU is going to stop people from getting a work visa I'd suggest you need to step back from the media spin and think about why countries would stop foreign workers from coming in when they have a skills shortage.

Clathrate Gun Hypothesis
So, these media companies would love nothing more than to provide (or enable someone else to provide) a Steam-like worldwide un-region-locked reasonably priced streaming service that supports all my devices, lets me pick and choose audio tracks/encodings and subtitles, not force me to go through a network of partners or worry about who has a distribution deal with who--a service that just lets me pick a show/movie and watch it. But, the only reason they can't do this is "contracts"? We're not talking about the speed of light or the limits of thermodynamics. Contracts are written by humans, signed by humans, and enforced by humans. Surely if the humans running these companies really wanted to provide such a customer-focused product, they could today stop signing these "old media" contracts and work together to quickly unwind what's preventing them from competing with piracy. I don't buy the "but our hands are tied" story.
Maybe I'm biased here by spending an awful lot of time in AutoCAD, but I'd tend toward the wireframe parts as being all you need for 3D. All this "shading," "hidden surface removal," and "triangles" shenanigans is just sugar on top.

Though I'm having second thoughts about calling perspective projection the most basic part, since most of my work happens from an orthographic camera. Let's call that a perspective projection from a camera at infinity and it all works out.

At any rate, mapping points in world space to points in screen space and then drawing lines between them is a pretty clever system, and the new software and hardware we've added since then is so incredible that it's hard to comprehend sometimes.

Kenya lies on the equator and does not extend 800km (450 miles) north or south of it.

The country has never needed and never had Daylight savings time. Day and night length are pretty much the same all year round with just a little variation.

Only countries at the extreme north and south edges of Africa would need daylight savings time.

Egypt, Morocco, Algeria, Libya, Tunisia and islands in the Mediterranean Sea in the north combined with Namibia, Botswana, South Africa in the South. Also need to count the two enclave nations in South Africa if we are being pedantic - so Swaziland and Lesotho join our list. These are countries where Daylight Savings Time makes sense.

In practice, of these, only about 5-6 countries actually have DST - Egypt, Morocco, Namibia and Tunisia and the islands in the Med. IIRC Egypt and Libya have an on-again off-again kind of deal going on with DST.
Browsers/webapps have only become this crazily successful because they allow seamless delivery of applications to run locally. I haven't seen anything to build "code-less" apps that can implement the complex features people want and isn't a complete nightmare to build and maintain. Until then everything you're talking about is just a pipe dream.

You can still make the apps you're talking about with html+css and enforce js=off in your user browsers, but there is a reason no one wants to do that these days.

And unless I'm not mistaken, there have been plenty of exploitable bugs in the core rendering engines that involve only html/css, so your utopian world STILL depends on a secure sandbox.

FWIW, typical raw fMRI data is mostly useless unless you know the design parameters of the study (stimulus timing, imaging onsets, etc.). Though there are some interesting data-driven analyses techniques, especially for resting-state data.

Many research studies in the U.S. are required to do "structural" scans (high-resolution T1 or T2) and send them to a safety read by a radiologist, for liability reasons. At very least, this scan should be available directly from the hospital imaging department. If you are lucky all the data will have been sent through the hospital PACS and the imaging department will indiscriminately dump everything. At a research-only center it might be more complicated because such images are likely sent off-site for the safety read.

> "Britain will not be a 'part of' Europe by law."

Europe is a continent. A continent that existed before the European Steel and Coal Community started in 1951. Britain is just as much a part of that continent as any other European country.

If this is for a public api i would simply enable gzip and call it a day.

if this is for internal use you have a few options. although there is automatic way of reusing or referencing objects within json you can construct your own model using references.

One technique i have used in the past for a smaller memory footprint is to have an data array and then reference index positions within it.

e.g.

{
"items": [
{
"foo": 0,
"bar": {
"desc": 1,
"other": 2
}
},
{
"foo": 3,
"bar": {
"desc": 1,
"other": 2
}
},
"data": [
"foo bar",
"some really long data",
"lots more data",
"not foobar",
]
}

If you are free to use alternative serialisation methods i would recommend you look at protocol buffers.

Even 'catharsis' as a Western idea isn't actually that helpful in practice. For example, taking out your anger and feeling 'cathartic' is known to make your emotional problems worse, not better, because you've given it a physical outlet that affects everyone around you.

This is totally a cult-worshipping style setup where the name of the game isn't employee health but ever increasing amounts of company loyalty. Notice how one of the participants was quoted as wanting to "bring more passion" to their work. People who need this treatment need a bigger life change than some theatrics plus some what is most likely unenthusiastic if not totally coerced admission that the bullshit helped.

Finally, don't bring "eastern asian background" into this. You should be able to argue for or against something without using your background to appeal to idiots and racists.
>> Your right to vote is the mechanism by which your right to participate is ensured.

> It's a shallow form of participation.

It's not a form of participation at all.

>Being educated, informed, and being part of the decision process - drafting bills, finding alternatives - forming political parties, being part of committees , being available for election, all the work that is done before a vote his held is arguably more important.

You are arguing about how the right to vote is exercised. With the right to vote as a given, I would agree with you on all of the above.

However, none of the above is relevant without the right to vote (and other rights), hence why I'm arguing that the right is more important.
Eh, OK, I'll be the contrarian here and side with the article. The headline is definitely clickbaity however the article, while devoid of strong evidence is basically true.

Nexus phones are supposed to be the gold standard of android, and yet, I've never been satisfied with any Nexus device (I've had 3x HTC G1s, 1x Nexus one, 2x Nexus S, 2x Galaxy Nexus, 4x Nexus 4, 4x Nexus 5, 2x Nexus 6, and no 6P so far) due to battery life issues, camera issues, operating system issues (most Android versions have felt like a beta usually right up until the next version is released) compatibility issues with carrier (things like - no visual voicemail, no VoLTE) issues with accessories (my August smart lock & Kinsa thermometer barely work on android for example, but work perfectly on iPhone), performance issues (the nexus 6 is slowest phone I've ever used, with a custom kernel and encryption turned off) with all that said, they're still better than any of the non nexus phones I've used.

I believe that OEM are simply not incentivized to build good devices. The OS is "free" the hardware is made for rock bottom prices in China, few want to spend $600+ on a device with few benefits over a $200 device - how can anyone expect OEMs to put time and effort into a device with razor thin margins in a market that's already saturated?

Yeah, I think it's a lot easier to fix shitty JS than it is to fix shitty CSS. Every job I've had, I've fixed more than I build. If it's a 5 person startup, I'm iteratively fixing my own shit as the product pivots. If it's 30 people, I'm fixing code from that one idiot that interviewed well and turned out to be impressively terrible. If it's a 10,000 person company, I'm fixing shit from that entire division that wasn't properly managed.
Not strictly true. There are a number of ad network competitors with similar data on users that we've never heard of. Conversant is one of the largest, with sizable inventory on the web and in apps.
I like DST. I do not like the DST switch. If I had my way, we'd just keep DST year-round.

May be you will pay for it maybe some other will pay for it but it does not necessarily mean everyone or even most of them who want to watch will pay for it.

Of course media companies should improve their platform but that is a different issue.
I stopped using both Netflix and Amazon Prime here in Germany because of the messed up subtitles. I do not speak German so I used to opt for the OV versions but whenever there were non-English dialogues in the video (Spanish in Mad Men, Morzart in the jungle, better call Saul... Etc) the subtitles would be in German, which for me meant not understanding anything that was being said!

It's frustrating. Here I am willing to actually give them money so that I get essentially what I could with popcorn time!
Free Basics is back, now through the backdoor
Yeah, we should just get rid of non-DST.
This sort of very loosely reminds me of boom [1] which I used briefly before writing my own piece of bash shell script garbage. For some reason a majority of my note taking revolves around links.

To be honest I still haven't found the right tool for managing bookmarks and have just resorted to text files in emacs/vim and pbcopy/pbpaste.
