Although from an outside perspective a military coup seems completely undemocratic the Turkish military has historically had the role of maintaining the principles Atatürk founded the Turkish Republic on. You can think of them as a built-in correction mechanism in case the government veers too far off course -- they remove the government, reset everything to start and then hand over control back to the people once the situation is stable again.

I strongly suggest reading the Wikipedia article on Kemalism (the principles of Atatürk for the Turkish Republic): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kemalism

Erdogan dreams of bringing Turkey back to its Ottoman glory and is willing to exploit religion (and abolish Laicism) to do so. I don't think he staged the failed coup himself but it is clear that he's benefited the most from it:

He told the Turkish people to go out and stop the coup, risking their lives and knowing full well that the soldiers wouldn't massacre the civilians but creating an opportunity to make his supporters seem like a peaceful opposition to the "violent" military.

He spread the narrative that the coup was staged not to defend Atatürk's principles but by a religious sect his ruling party fell out with. He used that narrative and the failed coup to get rid of thousands of educators, judges, officials and military officers (calling it a "purge" even).

He's basically doing what he did before: eliminating all opposition to ensure his rise to permanent and unlimited power. Except because of the clever PR move of risking his citizens' lives he now has public support for his autocratic ambitions.

Atatürk created a nation that should have been an inspiration to the entire Islamic world with a degree of secularism far outmatching that of many Christian nations. Instead Erdogan is heading full speed back into the dark ages of theocratic dictatorships. This is a political tragedy of disturbing proportions and a huge loss for Europe and the Middle East.
Ok fair, maybe "made back" wasn't the most precise wording. Unless you think these savings are ephemeral, these are recurring earnings growing at a similar rate to the company overall. As a GOOG shareholder, your stock is worth the same if the company has $600M in cash or if they use that cash to increase earnings $20M. In that sense "they've made it back".

I took a wilderness survival course in college that included multiple days in the wilderness for the final. In over 40 years there had only been two deaths. One was dehydration due to a stupid fad diet and the other was hantavirus. It looks like the flu until it's too late. So if you are around mice droppings and get flu like symptoms soon after, get to a doctor soon.
You are an optimist it seems! I give it a week before someone either does something incredibly annoying or stupid with them, the system gets hacked through a USB port (because this is MTA afterall so of course the USB's are connected to a vital central mainframe system with no security), or it's used by peddlers selling crap on that platforms. That or the mob finds a way to install Jimmy The Idiot to charge you a quarter to use it. This is New York. If it can go wrong you bet your last nickel that rolled off the roof it will happen.
Bitcoin might seem like it has a conservative culture, but the truth is that the Chinese government could fork bitcoin tomorrow. I find that worrisome. Those miners that hold more than 80% of the hash power operate at the pleasure of the CCP.
This is good, but the data structures - eg arrays of arrays - don't really match the underlying data. Imagine what 'ip addr' or 'ifconfig' would look like - they output paragraphs rather than lines, so scraping lines wouldn't produce good output.

It'd be better - and FAR more work - to make an object pipeline based powershell equivalent for Nix, based on JSON. You could write cmdlets in any language that outputs JSON and do better at this project's goal of avoiding scraping.

ps node | select pid

instead of:

ps().find(function(line){ return line[3] === 'node' })[0]

Since the fields have keys, you avoid magic numbers and the code's easier to read.

(you could of course alias those to make 'pidof node' like Linux distros do)

The end result would be much better than Powershell, since it would use JSON and not be tied to .net languages.

One (sharp) blade is better than three. I haven't shaved in years, but when I did, I gave up on the disposable multi-blade razors that cost far too much and degraded too rapidly, and got an old style Schick injector razor, along with about $20 worth of good-quality, German, replacement blades. I've still got quite a few left from that purchase - you could use one blade for a month of daily shaving with the slightest amount of care.

With curly hair, I find that my beard only itches when the hairs are long enough to curl in. For me, there's a stage about two weeks in and a stage about two months in where it itches terribly, but after that it's fine.

Neat hack! I like the idea. Initially when I read the title I thought it would be yet another 'make my shell behave more like my preferred language' type of project. Those while fun to code and play with aren't really useful in the long run. This though might just be useful.

For the most part, America had nothing to do with the coup attempt and had no idea that it was about to happen. Honestly, the majority of Americans couldn't find Turkey on a map even if you centered the map on Turkey. However, I certainly wouldn't be surprised if a few CIA types provided assistance like they've been known (or suspected) to do in South America and other parts of the world. The US government clearly benefits from Turkey having a more secular government and Erdogan is moving the government towards more Islamic rule.

So I'm just guessing that in a few weeks a classified document will be leaked that some portion of the US government was involved in the coup attempt and American citizens will all be embarrassed that we can't let other sovereign nations deal with their own business.

I hope that it doesn't hurt our relations so much that it hurts any innocent civilians or that we restrict travel. I hear Turkey has some cool castles and is a very interesting place to visit. It's relatively inexpensive and I'd like to go there one day.

There publicly holding hands, and then there is accusing the US of plotting a coup. Between these two extremes is a vast middle ground they could occupy.

If anything the government are fanning the flames, not the other way around.

Shoot down a Russian plane and then months later accuse the USA of a plot while arresting thousands of judges ... I worry that this is all the start of something really, really terrible.
And, we know these guys' operation isn't a honeypot since NSA has trouble hacking certain more privacy-conscious individuals or organizations... how exactly?

I mean, people, let's be real here. Unless you're a hardcore mathematician with programming background in devising crypto algorithms AND you have strong knowledge in signal processing on top of that, how do you know that anything you download/buy in terms of "more private" hardware/software, is actually indeed "more private"?

We're at the mercy of people who keep saying "we care about your privacy and security". Everybody is screaming "we are better than the rest!" and all of us are simply left scratching our heads.

For all we know, even GNU's guidelines on which crypto algorithms to use might be flawed due to an ingenious and impossible to spot subtle mathematical flaw in the said algorithms.

What actual hope do we have?
That is a strange statement. From my perspective, America hasn't been either (if anything, the opposite)!

Tor can and should circumvent any firewall using obfuscation proxies that use AWS, GCS, Azure, etc. You'd need to block most of the internet to kill Tor.

That's exactly the way to do it. Returning the HTTP status code in the body of the message is just wrong.
Ethereum is also an open source project. Arguably it's less centralized in this respect than Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is defined by a reference client, which is managed by developers who are mostly employed by a for-profit company. Anyone wanting to do another implementation has to comb through a lot of hairy C++ and match it bug for bug.

Ethereum is defined by a 32-page spec, produced by a nonprofit corporation. At this point there are eight implementations, each in a different language, mostly by entities other than the nonprofit.
I don't have a link though, it's just something that was been repeated at length by the Natural Reserve agents and the ecobiologists to the personnel and visitors while I was on Kerguelen island (precisely about apple cores and egg shells - most of the vegetation is actually in the same Rosaceae family as apple trees, and there are many local bird species).

It makes sense to me, seeing how a single disease like chestnut blight or phylloxera can be very devastating to a population on a whole continent, it could be both as bad but also less noticeable in a natural park.

You seem to be painting with a very broad brush, friend. Perhaps you don't know as much about conservatives as you think. Just because some conservatives hold antiquated views doesn't mean it's true of all (or even the majority) of conservatives.

Depends on the company.

At smaller companies they might not have dedicated HR gate keepers or the person reading resumes might have a combined business/HR role. And at all companies being able to state your accomplishments in terms of business value helps a gate keeper understand your resume better and shows your ability to communicate effectively.
It's posturing. The US is an easy target because there's no chance in hell the US and Turkey will go to war and Turkey is irrelevant enough to the US (and important enough as an ally to NATO and Europe) that Erdogan can be sure there will be no consequences. Meanwhile the US's apathy can be exploited for publicity by Erdogan and he can put Europe in a tough spot.

The coup wasn't a big threat. Only a fraction of the military was mobilised, all important government officials were able to flee and he was able to turn the entire population against the military because both mosques and TV channels spread his propaganda.

The military couldn't have followed through without creating a bloodbath that would have turned the populace even more against them. The coup had already failed the second Erdogan was able to escape.
Actually banana peels and orange peels don't biodegrade that fast in a north American forest.

Apple cores I think might not be too bad to toss, ants can eat that up in a day or two.

I pack out the peels of any tropical fruit.
I think so. Or to put it in another perspective: Nations often (if not mostly or everytime) came into being by an outside threat.

USA = the British
England = The French/Catholic Church
Germany = France
Poland = Germany and Russia

and so on. Threats make possible that people see an "us". I very much like the term "imagined communities" (Benedict Anderson) in this regard.

The question is, will America turn against Turkey, too, or are the threats to exclude them out of NATO just empty ones?

It will also be interesting to see if the EU will condemn this "democratic regime" they were so quick to defend after the coup.

> A pizza in a restaurant, a pizza in a supermarket and a pizza delivery are all pizzas, but they're not the same product

If the product is "pizza", then of course they are the same product.

Lay out a salami pizza from a restaurant, supermarket and delivery next to each other on plates and they will (mainly) differ only in quality and price.
What coup? This is looking more like the entire event was staged as a pretext for a complete takeover, similar to the Reichstag fire of 1930s Germany.

This. To me (1) are (3) are amazingly, agonizingly ironic given the context of the situation, even if the outcome is not entirely surprising knowing how the voting is done and how centralized mining pools make things (as well as point (2)). The hypocrisy of the whole thing is astonishing to me.

To make it more decenteralised. Cryptocurrency without enough participents actively voting with their computational power is not a cryptocurrency and will have none of the improvements over fiat currency.

Bitcoin might have 51% dishonest problem but it can be made honest again by increasing total computation. Whether 51% are honest or not is function of total computation power [TCP]. Probablity of 51% being honest goes to 1 as TCP goes to infinity.
There's a truckload of feedback already so I'll keep it short.

You're complaining about them using words like "revenue" and "income" in the way they're meant to be used in accounting? That's...puzzling. Even surname (which you seem to dislike) is a pretty common word.

Not everything has to be immediately accessible; every field has terminology we have to be aware of when entering it - and that's not a bad thing.
The vote wasn't official, it was just an indicator of community sentiment. The fork is happening because, in addition to carbonvote, the miners are voting 80% in favor of forking, the exchanges are ok with it, and all the major implementations built the code for it. Any cryptocurrency can pull off a hard fork if 80% of its community wants to do it.

The president of the European Parliament followed up his "we support the democratically elected government" tweet with another tweet condemning that same government's actions following the failed coup, so that already happened.

I'm also not sure how realistic losing Turkey as a NATO member is. They are in a strategic position that makes it worth to put up with most of their nonsense.
Civic: An ambitous new identity fraud protection service
We've been in the middle of something really, really terrible, for rather a few decades, and are not really coherently dealing with it - in the 'royal we', as I personally can state my bit of it - very well.

There is a big rush to try to get the world to peacefully co-exist, and technology is doing that. Seriously.

At the head of all of the chaos of military action, is a technological breakthrough that cannot be weaponized. We're all still looking for it, because its in the mix, somewhere, but in the meantime: technology of death and warfare is way, way ahead of us.

Quick, invent something socially amazing, that cannot be weaponized, and will get everyone - of any nation state and language and cultural background - working and playing and co-existing, together. Its really the only thing we can do while this crazy stuff goes down.

Perhaps there is a new rule to be tested, which goes thus: "no two nations which had a functional Pokemon Go community ever went to war with each other" ...
While your suggestion appears meaningful, I argue it is not; it's just hindsight. Very often a seasoned developer has a multitude of skills; if I need to be specific, I cannot list them all. Unless I use tens of pages - then the CV is too long. The most important bits may be very different for different companies and positions - but it's not easy to tell from the outside, especially from a job application form which may be very vague and indeed just list a number of technologies.

Also: it's very hard for people to compress their lives in a CV.

Recently, when writing a job ad, I usually ask something like:

"send us your CV, or a link to your blog, or write something about you, what you like to do and what you do well, tell us something great you did in your career, or just send us anything you think it's relevant for us to understand your value".

If you just ask a CV, you just get a CV.
CODE IS LAW, but when in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

Code is law, but there is no law which we can't abolish, especially when the law stops serving the purpose for which the law was established.

Single page is JavaScript so try to focus on that and not backend frameworks.

Easiest way to start an app is to fake the hard parts first. Use dummy JSON data in JavaScript directly. Or if you know how, you can spin up a very simple REST API using the framework you know and again, output static JSON (no database). Node/Express or Python/Flask can be very very quick and easy for this. Now that you have sample data in a JSON structure, emulating the backend, what do you plan to do with it?

Enter front-end. Start with something like React for the UI parts. Start small. You'll learn JSX, ES6 and webpack likely. Eventually when you have a few components, learn about state and properties and you'll want to call your data from the backend API.

This is ridiculous. It's not just Danish personal identification numbers, but ID numbers and health records for everyone who have lived in Denmark from 2010 through 2012.

Quick recap since it's in Danish: A danish health authority, SSI, accidentally mailed two CDs containing unencrypted CPR-numbers and health records for 5.28m residents to the Chinese Visa Application Office.

The Chinese delivered the letter to the intended recipient, Statistics Denmark, another danish government authority.

The bubble cushioned mailer containing the CDs had been opened, but regardless the issue of course is the extremely reckless handling of very sensitive information.
