Your last paragraph is a Godwin point. The first thing that would avoid a war between EU and UK would be tolerance for their point of view with a discussion about immigration without everyone throwing arms in the air and saying "they're all fascists" (which I have heard this week with a lot of anti-british hate).

Yes, immigrants who have been accepted are all UK nationals and they belong there now. Now have we asked the country side UK people whether they want to distribute more visas in 2017 to non-EU, highly skilled, foreign workers, followed by a passport in 10 years? I'm being specific here because liberals tend to conflate xenomurderers with people who want a honest discussion about visa quantities.

Same thing in France. We are still allocating tens of thousands of visas to non-skilled non-refugee immigrants: "Family" visas - aka get your brother in, and all your family can immigrate. We also have the free hospital policy and we've made mistakes with massively accepting people for medical tourism. I have nothing against existing French nationals and I have been the first one to protest aside them against police/administration racism. But we haven't succeeded the battle of the ideas and, as you mention, we have created terrorists out of native French citizen who were exposed to racism. Whether it's the school which isn't free enough, or there university which isn't free enough, or the taxes for the poor which aren't low enough, or specific language/culture classes which don't transmit or values, there is a failure in our integration process. And until we guarantee that we integrate newcomers with our values, I want to postpone non-mandatory immigration as long as there's not enough budget for their teachers.

One of our values is that you, as a French person of 2nd generation, teach your kids to not burn the flag of the country you're in. Another is that we've fought for a century so our women are free, so there will be no sign of submission in women (and the church needs to align too). Another one is, if you're in, don't swap your PhD for smuggling 10k€ of illegal goods after 3 years (which I've seen). Another one is that school is free, so your son better work hard before you complain about racism.

Oh and before you complain more about racism, if I invite you home for programming lessons, don't touch my 8-year old niece (which I've seen). The guy didn't even go to jail, he was merely told off in a police interview with his parents (he's 16). I didn't want to say there's an anti-white movement, but when that happened, in 2015 and together with the two Paris attacks, I started wondering. And it's time we reset equal rules for everyone.

So there is a political question to answer, in every country, about how many visas we issue in each category, how we proceed to integrate everyone, and still make it fair for countryside people. And as long as the liberal answer is "Welcome everyone, all criticizers are racists!", then the answer will be... racism.

I'm comparing to other fitness activities. Sure, you can have going to the gym as a hobby, but it's generally harder than biking, swimming, climbing, martial arts, team sports or other things that offer additional value of more visible progression, social interaction, making friends, traveling to new places etc.
This is one of my pet peeves, calling it felony is utterly stupid and childish. Encryption and the use of encryption are serious matters and their PR should be handled with the utmost seriousness.

You may have to go to a more urban area, but look for local techie Meetups or a local makerspace / hackerspace. Or reach out to some remote ones where you know people. We have dozens of laptops sitting at our local hackerspace. Get to know them, help out with a project, etc. and there's plenty of gear to be had.

Radio stations can pay royalties to a middleman (SoundExchange) for "ephemeral" rights, but since the mechanism of podcasting requires on-demand playback and downloading to the device, acquiring ephemeral rights is not sufficient.

I think streams where you don't pick the song that comes up next can also be licensed more similarly to radio broadcasts.

The law itself isn't really the question here; it's more the economic entities and standard agreements built to sustain broadcast use of music can't be adapted to podcast use in a cost-effective way.

This is also why we don't have the Massive Attack song as the intro to "House, M.D." on streaming services any more.
Thanks for this! Youtube is terribly slow on my computer but this loads instantly.

It's built on Electron, React and Redux. There is no security as it is a fundamentally insecure environment.
I'm writing this comment in English. My native language is different and the vast majority of spoken interactions in my private life isn't in English. English isn't even an official language in my country.

Your argument is crass, but I think you're being needlessly romantic. Unlike skin colour, you can "wear" more than one language and switch between them as appropriate.

In fact, if you spend any time studying linguistics you will quickly learn that even "monolingual" speakers speak different languages depending on the context. We classify these as different registers or sociolects but ultimately the effect is the same:

The language we speak heavily depends on who we are speaking to, not only on who we are.

Whether we can preserve languages that are effectively running out of contexts to be useful in is another question. But that is basically an argument about controlling natural evolution. And that's actually a solved problem: just look at how we preserve other cultural artefacts like art and crafts.

Also, just because a culture is disappearing doesn't mean no new cultures will be created. I'm sure the Romans never worried about their language going away yet the modern "lingua franca" is ultimately a descendent of a bunch of regional varieties of a language closely related to Old Norse. A thousand years from now the worry about the future of AAVE will seem as quaint as the worry about the future of Kentish Old English would seem now (if anyone worried at the time at all).

Heck, the situation of AAVE is actually infinitely better than that of Kentish Old English: there is a wealth of contemporary study into AAVE and thanks to modern technology it is trivial to archive speech samples, even including the spoken word and interviews with native speakers.

If you ignore the politicisation of this issue (because all "race" issues are political in the US, even when they're supposedly about language) the decline of AAVE is no more tragic than the decline of any other regional or social language.

Preserving languages is a solved problem. There is no reason to worry about AAVE beyond ensuring its preservation except for race politics.

There are lots of great answers to this.

1. Working towards greater productivity. (In case this seems pointless or otherwise unworthy, remember that greater productivity leads to, e.g., people living longer lives).

2. Workings towards more great artistic achievements.

3. Working towards greater scientific achievements, which will bring the above, + more free time, + reaching other planters, + immortality.

You might not agree with all the above options, but if we, as a civilization, want to optimize towards something, there are plenty of great "somethings" to choose from. (and that are better than what most of humanity spends its time on, IMO).

Wow, they made that a lot worse in the dub. Or maybe it was always that bad and I couldn't tell because of Japanese politeness in the original script.

Damn.
Let me get this straight. Government contractors are concerned about the lack of transparency of 18F/USDS and also that they're developing capabilities that the incumbents cannot possibly offer and are asking for more regulation? Funny considering how byzantine and convoluted myself and others have found it to start contracting for the government despite the best of our intentions that would require incredible amounts of overhead compared to even an enterprise software vendor relationship contract when you're a 2-person company (you typically wind up sub-contracted under a massive prime contractor anyway, and that removes a lot of your political weight immediately while favoring the big one). Isn't one of the best things you can do for the federal government is to be accommodating and flexible to their needs in their best interest as a guiding principle? There's some pretty serious cognitive dissonance happening.

There's also a false dichotomy that people get the impression that government contractors have traditionally gotten a cushy job - this is not the full story. Smaller contractors constantly are folding or being forced to sell due to how difficult the market is to negotiate now as a small company, particularly for defense (I am shocked that the article only cites $80 Bn for government contractors pretending that defense contractors don't exist - just add up Lockheed and SAIC alone and you'd get far, far beyond that). One of the top reasons for companies folding is simply loss of budget into exploratory programs that can justify more "cutting edge" technology such as Hadoop-based or Spark-based analytics stacks and HTML5 instead of ColdFusion based user facing applications. After having worked for and alongside some great smaller contractors that just couldn't hack it, I'm pretty much done with government at this point though and would rather let the next generation of engineers that are more hopeful and nowhere near as disenchanted as myself show up.

I think 18F / USDS limiting the service times is a Good Idea though because it can limit the amount of negativity that can accumulate from just a few engineers having poor experiences. Furthermore, this kind of "term limit" is a great way to prevent entrenchment by any entity working with the government. Unfortunately, many key initiatives are simply too important not to get the government entrenched and a long-term relationship to exist (granted, I'd also argue that the government should simply own these outright instead of attempting to half-ass privatize, which leads to political models closer to Mussolini's ideas of fascism).

> 30% in Scotland according to Wikipedia

Actually, you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who doesn't use Scots to some degree. I realise the 30% figure came from census data, but most people here use Scots without recognising it themselves as a distinct 'Scots' language. It's a tricky thing to word in a census to get real numbers.

> However it's insane to think that this means speaking Scots is sufficient if you want a good job

Absolutely true. Myself and everyone I know use Scots in daily life, both at work and at home. But most recognise that (rightly or wrongly) it's not socially acceptable to use it in formal situations, such as during a job interview, talking to clients etc.
Get rid of switch/case/if
I want something like this on the youtube dashboard. I want to see at a glance the trends + subscriptions (and the subscriptions that are gaining momentum/are popular). I don't want "recommendations" from youtube mixed in with my regular feed. I cross them out and tell youtube that I'm not interested in them and it just ignores that and shows them up again anyway. Subscription list tends to "fade away". Older subscriptions are forgotten and don't show up and only the new ones do.

Better organization of the playlists and a feature to search across my account for playlist and the videos in them would be another amazingly important feature that I want.

Went on a rant there. But I love youtube, except the interface is such a huge turn off that it's quite annoying. I've been meaning to make an alternative UI for it. It's been on the back-burner in my ideas.txt for quite a while. So I just brain-dumped the most immediate complaints I had.

> there are sports which will cripple your health in long run, almost guaranteed. many contact sports, it football comes to mind.

Did you play football? The danger of permanent crippling injury has been blown way out of proportion by helicopter parents and the news. Of all the kids I played with and all the kids I coached (volunteer), only one of them ever wound up partially crippled. That kid in particular would routinely do daredevil stunts in his spare time. By the time he injured his knee, he was missing teeth, had blown his eyebrows off three times, and messed up that knee at least twice before stepping foot on the field.

Football is a safe sport, considerably safer than not playing. I hear on the news about concussions and crippling injuries, but I never see it in real life. Those things are pretty rare, especially when compared to vehicle accidents. I've seen far more lifetime permanent injuries come out of the soccer camp, to be honest.

I have literally just encountered this using free hospital WiFi. Ports 80 and 443 open but ssh, SMTP and IMAP are all silently dropped.

Hardware that can't run it, yet for some reason passes the minimum requirements function.

Fear of new, or having to learn new. Some people may have only just adapted to Metro.

For others, justifiable privacy concerns; having to run third party scripts and manually vet and select updates to avoid telemetry while keeping security is just not feasible.
...And I never grew to like Haskell. The syntax makes all of your programs look very elegant, but there are no clear delimiters. The syntax for how functions are delimited isn't clearly explained by most sources. And I don't want to type my code and just hope that the magical compiler fairies deduce my meaning. That kind of programming attracts bugs like a man covered in honey.

I'm going to put this as bluntly as possible so there is no chance of a miscommunication.

Europeans don't want blacks and arabs in their countries. Nobody cares about being called a racist anymore. They want the blacks and arabs out.

In England and France there is a real threat of civil unrest if it continues. People have had it with their children being bullied in schools and the constant stories, real and unreal, of rapes and murders.

You have to ask yourself what a typical young European thinks of Anders Brevik. The ones I know think he was right on the money. As you probably know he wrote a manifesto which is a sort of prognosis/prediction rant. Since he disseminated that and killed the children on the island he has become very popular on the radical European right, a sort of terrorist version of Nostradamus.

To spell it out: it means they won't primarily be attacking blacks and arabs, they'll be attacking leftists open borders supporters and their fellow travelers. They don't hate the blacks and arabs per se, not in comparison to the contempt they have for the portion of the left which they see as traitorous and treasonous.

Attacking people for being different is a side effect in comparison to the urge to destroy your real competitors, people like you but competing for the same resources.
The flip side of this is that much of the reason the internet is a dangerous place is because MS didn't force or even acknowledge the vast number of illegally obtained installs of older, unmaintained OSs.

Owning a network connected computer is something more than a consequence-free. Like car ownership, it affects the world around the owner in many ways.

As much as I find the approach crass and poorly explained, the world of allowing users to pass on updates for network security has to come to an end or the internet will continue to be an economic resource for criminals on a grand scale.

As frustrating as that is for your relative and as typical as it is that it passed the minimum resource check, I can't help but maintain two minds on the subject. Emissions laws are a good analogue. They do disproportionately affect the poor and are often poorly enforced on the rich, but maintaining and strengthening them is essential. I wish we had similar laws for network connected computers running commodity os's.
Most are focused on the name, which is terrible, while only one other (so far) noticed the big problem: Electron, React, and Redux. A secure messenger needs to have strong endpoint security. Easiest way to do that is using safe, system languages with simple implementation, as few dependencies as possible, and isolation of app from rest of the system. That's one of safe C's, restricted C++, SafeD, Ada/SPARK, Component Pascal, Rust... any of those with portable code for main library plus modules for OS-specific stuff (esp GUI & filesystem). That would have a chance of surviving hackers, esp good ones.

I know almost nothing of the above frameworks. However, Google gave me front pages for each that look more complex in implementation and dependencies than a C, Ada, or Rust app. Unnecessarily so. Secure applications should follow Lean and KISS principles every chance.

Note to author: All that said, if you're just doing it for fun or learning, then that's cool. Also a good area to learn about. :) The above applies to implementations meant to be used in field.
Really? My iPhone bothers me every single day about upgrading the iOS version. I should've never upgraded any major version since it is now quite unusable (iPhone 4S). But I get an intrusive and annoying popup every day when new upgrade comes. And it is the same thing: install now? no! schedule an upgrade maybe? no! stfu apple!
There Is No Scientific Method
They do not get those quick, extensive numbers on their desktop OS.

In no small part because Apple's median user age is so much lower than MS and their higher price point selects for more educated consumers. That, and the Win10 forced upgrades are mostly for managing and trying to convert unpaid copies.
Author states that it is < 2.0.6.
It shouldn't be an issue - the API currently sits on Google's Cloud Platform which provides the infrastructure and tools to scale the service. IMO Snapchat's usage of the platform really speaks to the stability and capability of it.

> - Carolyn Maloney of NY-12, Brooklyn Heights, Williamsburg and the east side of Manhattan

Sorry but I live in Congresswoman Maloney's district and this is not an accurate description of her district [0].

In Brooklyn, NY-12 includes Greenpoint and only a sliver of Williamsburg. Brooklyn Heights and most of Williamsburg falls in NY-7 (Nydia Velazquez).

In Queens, which you left out entirely, NY-12 includes Long Island City, Astoria (minus Ditmars/Steinway) and parts of Woodside.

In Manhattan, NY-12 extends to areas that are decidedly not "east side," namely Midtown and half of Chelsea. Oh, and it also includes Roosevelt Island, but everybody forgets about Roosevelt Island.

Getting these things right is hard, especially with redistricting every 10 years, so I recommend linking to a congresscritter lookup page instead [1]. Certainly better than bungling the very first entry in a big list of representatives and their districts.
