You monitor people who download certain material. You then see if they apply for passports or buy tickets to Syria (or the gateway countries to Syria). You then monitor them to see if they buy knives, guns, fertiliser / etc. You also monitor them to see if they're talking about their plan to kill people (because so far most of these attacks seem to have had some planning in semi-public fora.)

To me this list is scary, and we should resist governments that ask for these powers. But currently this is at the mild end of what UK gov is asking for (and doing). They'd go much further in their human rights violations.

As an example of some intrusive monitoring, and other measures, that were aimed at stopping radicalisation of a family, and preventing a child from flying to Syria: https://www.judiciary.gov.uk/judgments/london-borough-tower-...

This case in interesting because they could have used "joint enterprise" to convict the family, but chose not to. (A good thing, joint enterprise is linked to many miscarriages of justice).
Yes, that's why most economists I've read seem to agree that carbon tax is better than co2 credit cap-and-trade systems - simpler and harder to game, flawed only because it includes the word "tax" which is unpalatable to the public.

I fell for the romantics of the revolutionary underdog early on in my life. By now i know, they will be corrupt and evil if they get to power- they just cant be it - yet.

The Kurd's will build another formidable dictatorship once there first state is really officially established, and the outside pressure is gone. There are power hungry psychopaths in every society, and not having plans for institutions that keep those at bay and busy will allow them to gain control.

Not really that funny since the vast majority of Asians marry other Asians (72%)[1] so it would seem that the Asian women that are complaining are not the sames ones that use American dating sites.

So those sites have those results mainly as a selection bias.

Because if you use Asian dating sites like BeeTalk, Jiayuan, Baihe and the like, the women there almost exclusively want men that are the same ethnicity (i.e. not just Asians in general but Chinese, Koreans, Vietnamese, etc..)

I would also say this matches what I see among friends as well. I'm a mixed race (Asian/white) guy that basically passes for white and I'm fluent in Chinese. And what I see is that the majority of my Chinese-speaking friends don't use American/English-language sites to find dates. They basically screen out white guys (or just non-Chinese guys) by using Chinese-language sites.

And I see the same behavior with my Korean friends as well.

(The article also states that 2nd and 3rd generation Asians are increasingly marrying other Asians as well, rather than just those Asians that are the same ethnicity.)

Both function pointers and "first class functions" refer to function indirection.

In its treatment of expressions, C doesn't draw the distinction between function and pointer to function. When you call printf("foo\n"), the printf part is a primary expression which designates a function, and evaluates to a function pointer. That pointer is then dereferenced by the postfix ().

The main difference between a "first class" function and a function pointer is that a first class function carries an environment, which allows the body of the function to make references to lexically scoped names outside of the function. A function pointer carries a reference to the code only.

What do you mean by "gone as far as to cover up their tracks"? That's attributing motivation, which is the entire discussion at hand; what action are you referring to?

If you mean that she used a private email server, remember that Hillary Clinton was the first secretary of state to live in the era where real-time email was a thing the average (American, at least) person had. iPhone and Android both came out in 2007; Hillary became Secretary of State in 2009. We have no information was to whether Condoleezza Rice would have wanted to, say, use the Dropbox mobile app had her job continued past 2009; that app didn't exist during her tenure. No one in the history of the US government had gone as far as to use reliable email on their mobile device to get their job done, but that's because Hillary happened to be Secretary of State during the years when real-time email in your pocket became practical.
Did his algorithm include the helper concept that makes this wait-free, or are you just talking about the fetch-and-add queue part?

I think of these programming constructs as Monoids rather than semigroups. A monoid is just a semigroup with an identity element:

http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Monoid.html

Most of his examples have an identity, giving a monoid.

* (string, concat): identity ''
* numbers with addition/multiplication: identity 0/1
* numbers with min/max: Numbers in computers are
finite, so this is quite useful. stdint.h defines
INT32_MAX, INT32_MIN, etc.
* booleans with && / || : true / false
* function composition: identity function f(x) = x
* frequency map: {} or {A: 0, B:0, ...} depending on
how you define it

Comparators: Is this a bug in the post? It doesn't seem to follow the pattern because the arity of the functions is different. In a semigroup or monoid all the elements are supposed to be drawn from the same set.

Other examples I can think of:

* Python's dict with respect to member .update()
(if you think of it as an operator rather than
mutating member). Identity is {}
* Unix Pipes: identity 'cat' (note that the shell
supports point-free programming)
Make sure you check out Appendix A at the end of the paper (Asymptotic Worst-Case Time Complexity), in case you imagined the name "stack" implies constant-time push/pop performance. This data structure is only a "stack" in the sense that it provides last-in-first-out access.
No RFC rule prevents that, and as far as I know no RFCs even try to define what constitutes a true or false association between a personal name and an email address. But RFC 6409 gives site policy unrestricted permission to allow or deny that.

(Well, almost unrestricted. The results have to be syntactically valid.)

They need to define "terrorist plot".

Does a 15 year old child travelling to Syria count as a terrorist plot? Because some of those people have been stopped. (although plenty of others haven't).

Does it count as a terrorist plot if there's almost no chance of it being successful? Grooming someone with a learning disability to kill someone seems unlikely to actually be successful. Here's one such plot that got stopped: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2015/may/30/eight-years-...

It would be good if UK Gov released some better information. That's unlikely to happen.

That’s one of the reasons why I prefer desktop-based e-mail clients.

If you can convince your provider that the calls were not legitimate or the premium number provider did not disclose fees, etc. your provider will probably tell the premium number's provider to pound sand. Or convince them it was your kid. At least in the US, people under 18 cannot make these calls and so don't have to pay.

That's similar to lots of the terrorists who've been caught. They tend to be converts to Islam, or previously not particularly observant before being radicalised.

Well, given that the buyers bought just the numbers and not did not go to the authorities immediately it would seem that everybody in the deal was happy except for the EPA.

If you make it so that a number is assigned to something liquid that is as fungible as can be then you really can't claim surprise if someone then decides to short-circuit the whole thing and bypass the manufacturing step.

Think of it as an optimization. After all it seems the numbers where the valuable bit, the fuel was worthless in comparison.
Sounds like weird ideological nonsense. The metaphor doesn't work. In democracies people do routinely choose to proscribe certain behaviors, the ethical problem is when a minority is disproportionally impacted, or a when new class of discrimination is created. And neither if those things are the case here. The reality is the free market alone has not innovated the necessary incentive to reduce this kind of waste. Doing so at the source appears much more effective than crediting the customer a dime per bag reused, or even charging $1 per plastic bag used.

Assuming this ever worked, and produced good results, what happens when ten or fifteen years later, the corrupt local dictator takes over, all of the administrators flee before the mobs take their lives or nationalize all of their property, and all of the expertise and institutions that kept things going evaporate.

Use an enum.
This could be true. If so, their secondary metrics (e.g. # of near misses, avg distance to other cars, etc) should rise as Tesla use expands out of CA.

Again, please note that all I'm saying is that the secondary metrics are the primary predictor here since they are statistically significsnf. The primary metric is just an order of magnitude check since we don't have enough data (note the width of my posterior) to do more than reject the secondary metrics if they are crazily off.

3/5 compromise was intended to weaken the institution of slavery. The south would have been happy to count slaves as 2x human.
Well, it sort of works: massively increasing the wealth of any third world country will shift it from "if you're poor then you starve and die" to "if you're poor then you are begging on the street and sometimes working a lousy job for little money".

It's not much of an aspiration, but it is, strictly speaking, an improvement. It's also not a hypothetical: supply-side economic demonstrably works, to some extent. It just doesn't work very well, and we should be able to do better.

Yes, when you publish an NPM package it grabs anything not ignored by .npmignore or .gitignore, which can include css, a dist folder, etc., quite useful!
The motivation behind the "three-fifths" compromise is frequently misunderstood. Counting slaves as something "less than a full person" was actually a win for the abolitionists. Anti-slavery delegates were pushing for slaves to not be counted at all, while politicians from slaveholding states wanted them to count as a full citizen — thus amplifying the voting power of white southerners.

> Not to mention that the standard OO cult of unit test / mock everything and make everything "reusable" leads to such shitty designs that almost fall out naturally from the language/paradigm.

Not sure I'd call it a cult. From an F# perspective I do it this way:

* REPL-driven work to get it up and running

* Unit tests to protect what needs to be correct against change

* Mock the service boundaries

* Expose object-oriented layer to C#/VB consumers

Unit tests, mocking, and reusability are good things. Overuse (e.g., mocking to make sure that X calls Y in some business logic engine) is just what it is - overuse. Users of functional languages have their own problems, like suffering from code golf and over-using partial application. I wouldn't call one any worse than the other, it's just the functional crowd is smaller so you see it less.
I think your best bet is to have one git repo for the Enterprise edition and then have some script that produces the subset versions.
For relative scale - Food Wasted In America Can End Extreme Poverty Globally -

I don't how it is much different to other European countries but many people of my entourage went abroad. Some ex co-workers went to USA & Canada, some cousins to Scotland, Singapore and Ireland. And they have no intention to come back. That's the difference with 15 years ago, expats used to come back. Also some young co-workers also are searching jobs out of France, even co-workers of Arabic origins want to leave (1 is in the process of being recruited for a Dubai job).

That's not a coincidence.

The main reason used to be of the French gloomy economy, especially for the new comers on the job market, it is very hard even with qualifications to find a job. And there's no perspective on improvement on that side since the mentalities are very conservative (to stay polite). People think they cannot be successful in France and can be in the countries mentioned above.

Now since 5 years ago, I think you can add the feeling of France not being safe. Many jews left France being fed-up of being targeted by the muslim community and the lack of reaction from "traditional" French. The influx of people from troubled areas is not going to help. I expect the number of French leaving the country to boom.
I remember few car parks that were accepting this payment method. I think it is the most illustrative legitimate use case of premium numbers or the pay-by-call method.
The idea that "our world [is] parsed and circumscribed as it is by the limits of our vocabulary" is nuts. Just because there's not a one-to-one correspondence between a word in a language and a word in another, does not mean you can't express the same content through a combination of words and sentences.

The fact that the author was able to write this article and convey these concepts in English shows that the idea that vocabulary limits our experience is incoherent.

It's pretty hard for a high-level employee to force change in a bureaucracy the size of the federal government. Remember healthcare.gov - if the CEO launches the project that will define his legacy, and the infrastructure melts down on the first day, you think some other executive can get the email systems fixed?

And in any case, fixing the email systems for an organization this big is a messy project. There are countless employees who have the existing system set up and have workflows depending on it. There's special handling of classified information, records-keeping, and so forth. All of this will break, somehow, when you try to migrate it. I'm sure Hillary could have chosen to be the meddling exec who demands an IT overhaul to suit her needs if she really wanted to prioritize that, but it does not actually seem like that would have been better for America. (Or for her public perception, for that matter.)
