let me quote:
"judges aligned with the coup had begun calling on associates to adhere to the military’s demands."

"At 1am, officials say the police chief the city of Bursa arrested the local army commander, who possessed a 6-page list that included the names of designated judges and military officials who were to be appointed to various positions in the bureaucracy in the aftermath of the coup. Other pro-coup soldiers possessed lists of secure telephone lines to receive orders."

Please, please stop using the name "SSL" and use "TLS".

As others replied, x509 would be even more correct, but SSL is completely incorrect, because that protocol is insecure and shouldn't be used. Using SSL suggest that the software supports that protocol, although it doesn't (as it should)
And was those genuine changes of government, you think? Or just a new face on the same old one?

Anyway, that's one way Popper's definition is insufficient. Democracy is not just about whether a government can be replaced, but about how different the government we replace it with can actually be. Replacing a government isn't worth much if what you can replace it with is functionally identical in every way.
It might have to do with the amount of RAM on the computer? On a computer with 4GB of RAM, I've found FF crawls up to around 2GB; on a computer with 8, I've found it crawls up to around 4GB. Similar script blocking and host blocking setups on both, most recent versions of FF (though different versions of MacOS).

Similar horrendous effect on the performance of everything else on the computer til I restart the damn browser.
Not the OP, but I'm German and I didn't find the poem funny. That wasn't the point of the poem. The poem wasn't the comedy. The comedy was the presentation of the poem.

Saying Erdogan has sex with goats isn't funny. It's crude and it's even potentially racist (considering that sounds more like an ethnic slur than a personal insult). But that was the entire point. The poem actually went out of its way to be so appallingly insulting to drive this point home.

I don't think the performance was particularly good and I think the same point could have been made in a more tasteful way, but it should be protected as satire and I hope the German courts will rule accordingly (as many lawyers are predicting).

The entire point of the performance was a reaction to the ridiculous complaints about the earlier satirical song about Erdogan (which btw was almost entirely factual and only "insulting" because it presented Erdogan unfavourably and ridiculed his eccentricity and blatantly autocratic behaviour). It didn't set out to insult Erdogan, it was explicitly phrased as "That wasn't an insult that is illegal under German law. The following is what an insult that would be illegal under German law would look like".

Taking the poem in isolation is intellectually lazy and dishonest. It's like showcasing a replica of Michelangelo's David's penis and saying David is obscene because it's entirely about genitalia.
Dates are awful.

The Jekyll requirement of having filenames starting with dates is the main reason I don't blog.

It would be so much better if I could not put dates on files and just name them. If I wanted, I could put the date inside the file, either in free-text or in that crazy YAML metadata (which should be optional).

I think the author's point is that it WAS working, up until 1924 and the deposition of the Caliphate. Then in the modern era, it suddenly became hopelessly outdated - and unfortunately since, so-called "Islamists" have defined themselves on the opposition to other principles (secularism, nationalism and the like) instead of defining themselves in terms of their own ideas.
Cuteness is a look of a healthy (lack of abnormalities) child, and youth in general.

Beauty is youth + health (average face = lack of deformities) for all species - good genes, just reached reproductive age (with all necessary markers).

Sexual attractiveness is a bit more complicated - species specific markers of youth, health, good genes (parasite resistance, foraging, etc) and social status.

Nothing to see here. Humans aren't descendants of gods, they are still mere animals.

I think the CGI "standard" is to be blamed.

I think it is for the same reasons that Islam was such a tremendously empowering force for its followers prosperity in the Middle Ages.

But what about Avicenna and others who translated and propagated Aristotelian and other Greek ideas? This was done in a period before a religious consolidation of sorts, wherein these ideas faded in the Islamic world. (Incidentally, Avicenna's work was the route through which Thomas Aquinas was exposed to Aristotle, which set off a chain of philosophical progress that spanned several centuries, eventually culminating in the Enlightenment.)

I instantly have problem with anyone touting the opportunity costs related to an entirely made up number. 10 minutes off a fictional commute is not a convincing metric. How about instead we have say, line X needs $Y for modernizations after which line X will be Z minutes faster along its route. Or, which arterials will have new transit solutions.

I'm not arguing this is a bad spend of money (quite the opposite) but this article badly needs some real numbers to make its point.
First, this is not about doctors exchanging patients' medical histories, it's about two central government offices exchanging everybody's medical histories.

Second, the fact that security is (really!) hard is not a valid argument against doing it.

Third, there's a huge difference between the appropriate levels of security around individual patients' medical histories, a single doctors office worth of patients' data, and then the collective medical histories for every single patient in the nation.

Agreed regarding AWS being a non-factor. If any tech service gets credit here it's YouTube. They also leveraged ad-tech for precise targeting, re-targeting that was not possible in a pre-Internet era. Once they were doing very well online they were able to jump in with the big boys like P&G doing traditional media buys in TV, radio, etc.

I think that is the key here, Internet media helped them disseminate their message very rapidly.

I would also argue, easy access to capital was very important. Once that original video went viral, they had to really pour on the online ad-spend to acquire customers. Seeing as how their customer acquisition costs are high, the more customers they got, the more money they lost every month! Capital is key!

They were wildly successful before they were on AWS. I believe they started off on magento, then drupal before writing their own software (once they were having a lot of success).

They don't use Amazon for fulfillment. They used some other 3PL's and are now leasing and running their own distribution centers. In the beginning, Dubin was packing those razors up in his living room!

I'm not an American. My opinion would be no different if it were any other religion. Islam just happens to be the religion shared by a part of the world that is currently in a huge mess. I don't even see what Turkey has to do with US politics.

To be frank, prior to Erdogan I didn't even consider Turkey an "Islamic nation". It was just a Western nation with a Muslim majority -- which was the entire point of Atatürk's republic.
Not sure about that elephant. Anyone using Skype still assuming their conversation is secure and private, is exceedingly naive.

Those who really need security and privacy, know not to use Skype.
>> If someone developed a decent documents management company, based in the cloud, and integrated it with some nice mobile solutions, they would take a HUGE chunk of the market.

Not necessarily. Convincing people to fit their workflow into your new software, effectively running their companies around it, is not as easy as it sounds. Coding it is not the hard part.
That depends: do you use JS frameworks that require a compilation step? If yes, then adding a step in there to compile your SASS or LESS code is easy and has big advantages.

If you're using PHP or Python and don't use a JS framework that requires compilation, then adding in tooling just for a css preprocessor might be more work than it's worth. In that case, it might be more advantageous to use whatever language you're using to generate css the same way you use it to generate html.
I suppose I don't know for sure how JS runtimes implement them, but closures ought to be very cheap. They just need a reference to a static block of code and to any variables declared or referenced within. The most expensive part of using a closure is a heap allocation, and one extra allocation while creating an object in javascript is almost always negligible.
It may not be democratic, but it certainly not the opposite of democratic.

Let's put it this way, let's say 60% of people vote to kill the other 40%. And then a third party enters and stops such madness. You know who is more democratic of them all? The third party, for allowing the existence of more than one party. A coup can be more democratic than any election. It's all about context.
"Undemocratic" isn't a bad thing. Democracy is nothing more than two wolves and a sheep deciding what to eat for dinner.

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

Mostly empty, USA (and the EU) needs Turkey for various reasons. Turkey could unleash floods of refugees into the EU if pissed off and USA needs its bases in Turkey. That's effective power. Erdogan can basically do whatever he wants right now.

"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 know if this is true, it may as well be that he caters to the majority in current Turkey.

Things are a mess in Turkey, but I'm not sure that is Erdogans fault. He's got ISIS, Russia and an aggressive West to deal with, along with a divided nation.

I'm all for an open democracy, but I don't think that would work in Turkey in this horrible situation. A measure of safety does come before democracy, a reality we are quick to forget in the more peaceful parts of the world.

IIRC, his political opponents had their chance and blew it in a spectacular manner, so that even more people voted for Erdogan. What good is a military coup, if the current government is the least of the possible evils?

I don't know much about Turkey, but I feel we may be guilty of judging Erdogan out of true context.

Could you elaborate on why you suggest an MS Word document? Every suggestion I've seen from recruiters and job placement officers (my experience is limited to applying to entry level and junior positions) is that it should always, absolutely be a PDF.

Is this because MS Word documents are easier to parse (by SnapHop, not humans)?

That is fascinating. But notice that the researcher makes an elementary mistake: he failed to screen himself from the bird's sight.
I think to an extent it depends where you are. While I'm far from BT's biggest fan, the actual internet connection they provide is pretty reliable here.

The piece of crap router on the other hand needs rebooting to bring the wireless networking back up every few days, and has absolutely no logging to diagnose why that's the case.
And the line between "device" and "PC" is blurring more and more, as well as the line between "thin" and "fat" clients. When I'm using an app on my phone, I have no idea if any of the workload is being done on my phone or in the cloud. With services like iCloud, I start something on my phone and finish it seamlessly on my Mac, then display it on my iPad without doing a single thing to make this happen. It just happens. When I take a picture on my iPhone, it's on OneDrive within minutes. When I need to write something in Word, I go to word.office.com and it downloads the Word application and runs it in my browser, deleting it as soon as I close the page.

What's really happening is terms like "device" and "PC" or "thin client" vs "fat client" are becoming useless as technology converges more and more, as computers become "fast enough" that we don't need more and more computing power every day. Devices have become powerful enough that they can take their place along side PCs, rather than replacing them.

The TV didn't replace the radio. The computer didn't replace the TV. TVs just got smarter, and radio found its specialty and they enjoy a life side by side with the more advanced technologies.
>Peer-to-peer connectivity also has some privacy issues; the exposure of IP addresses to peers was abused to perform denial of service attacks against victims, a problem that became distressingly common in the world of e-sports.

My brother who is a streamer, was DOSed because his IP was leaked via skype. This can be a huge pain to anyone with a public image and they have to use security by obscurity to maintain the integrity of their IP addresses. That and VPN/VPS etc. Which honestly my brother has no clue how to set up or use.

I'm not saying that you should use Skype, far from it. But at least they will be closing some of their attack vectors based on this and individuals won't be DOSed because they used skype and some script kiddy found a way to get their IP (which is super easy fyi).

Can the title be changed to indicate that this is only for userscripts and/or browser add-ons/extensions?
It’s clear that existing hate speech laws are inadequate for the social media era. And if we decide, as we perhaps might, that a lifetime ban on the internet is unworkable and disproportionately punitive, given the centrality of the internet to our professional and personal lives these days, what on earth are we to do? No one has yet offered a convincing answer. In the meantime, we are all, bit by bit, growing ever more fearful of the next wave of molestation.

Together with other commentators, I have in the past argued for verified identities on social networks, so those responsible for abuse and persecution of public figures and the vulnerable might be held accountable for their actions. That seems redundant when trolls are now so brazen they don’t care about disapproving words from their loved ones back inside Facebook when they leave furious missives using that social network’s commenting system elsewhere on the internet.

So perhaps what’s needed now is a bolder form of censure after all, because the internet is not a universal human right. If people cannot be trusted to treat one another with respect, dignity and consideration, perhaps they deserve to have their online freedoms curtailed. For sure, the best we could ever hope for is a smattering of unpopular show trials. But if the internet, ubiquitous as it now is, proves too dangerous in the hands of the psychologically fragile, perhaps access to it ought to be restricted. We ban drunks from driving because they’re a danger to others. Isn’t it time we did the same to trolls?

Since September 2009, I have maintained a Google sheet outlining my net worth. Twice a month, I add a new column then list the balances of my bank accounts and credit cards and brokerages. Very easy to maintain and useful. I can see changes in my net worth at a glance over the last seven years.
The issue there is standards. How do your program talk to the kernel and hardware such that all this gets drawn? Especially in a modern multitasking environment, where no single binary, outside of the kernel, has complete control of the hardware.
You vastly overestimate the importance of Turkey to the US.

Also, there are easier targets to invade than a NATO member that is an ally against Russia.
I thought the industry was desperate for talent. This doesn't sound like the kind of mechanism you would use in such a situation.
Exactly.

In the US, the word "Islamism" comes with a payload that is a gift-wrapped propaganda message:

- Islamism will trend toward and harbor fundamentalist "strains".

- Islamism cannot be pluralistic or largely secular due to structural reasons or ideological invariants.

- An Islamist political system is permanently at odds with the sort of Enlightenment values that guide the West.

I've read a lot of very serious arguments that claim that Western pluralism and democracy were largely germinated by doctrinal aspects of Christianity.

Quotes like the "Render unto Caesar" passage are hailed as the cornerstone of the separation of church and state, and Islam, lacking the equivalent, is deemed to devalue such separation... Even things like the Schism of 1054 are hailed as helping to usher in the values of representative democracy.
The hourly rate is to make an apples-to-apples comparison to someone whose full-time job is to do that kind of security work, either salaried or contracted.

Would it make sense to award bonuses to every in-house security researcher based on an estimated, hypothetical worst-case cost? It doesn't take much imagination to see how that reasoning applies to other positions. Do accountants get big bonuses for avoiding multi-million-dollar errors? Lawyers for avoiding costly lawsuits? Operations (IT and otherwise) for keeping infrastructure running? Customer service for assuaging disastrous public interactions? Stretched to absurdity, would you pay for a taxi based on how badly you need to get to point B?

I believe saying "preventing these kinds of problems (doing this work) is what we pay you for" is a reasonable conclusion and paying a market rate for that general value makes more sense versus calculating a kind of commission per individual contribution. That does have a certain appeal (and I wouldn't mind seeing a discussion about it) but I haven't gotten the impression that's the perspective of those who think all* bug bounties should be higher.

*: Added caveat as I'd bet every researcher can name companies that pay poorly
