That's a really unhealthy mentality. There are aprox 3500 species of mosquitoes, out of which about 100 draw human blood. And first of all it's probably really hard to target just specific species. And if the solution is chemical or some sort of virus, then how do you know it won't spread to other insects?

Mosquitoes are pollinators, also being a food source for birds and fish. If mosquitoes vanish, you could end up with an ecological disaster, remember that we've been exterminating bees as well.

But OK, mother nature can still cope with a species vanishing, but this means another insect will probably fill the vacuum left by exterminating mosquitoes. How do you know that the insect taking the place of mosquitoes won't be much worse? You know, nature has a strange habit of fucking up our plans.

It's also important to remember that life on earth is 3.5 billion years old and we are fucking it up, destabilizing it in just a couple hundred. And "just fucking do it" is not science.
> probably the more likely scenario is that some insider leak some of the distributors private keys which would allow certain releases to be cracked - but would likely also trigger key roll over.

It could also be the case that someone leaked the plaintext symmetric key(s) for this specific movie's DCP. If someone gained access to private/secret keys on a compromised DCP player somewhere, it'd be smarter to leak symmetric keys for individual movies to avoid detection.
It happens in Belgium.

Someone I know was away from home for an evening, and found the police at her door when she came back. Turns out some junky decided to break into her gardening shed to find something to force entry to the main house. Was so high he accidentally slit his wrist on the glass window he broke to climb inside the shed. Neighbours heard him cry and called the police.

Police told her she was very lucky he didn't die, as she was responsible for his well-being while breaking in.

In a related note, if you have a dog, you need a sign to warn burglers about it , as you have to safeguard anyone in your house, including burglars. If the sign talks about a dangerous dog, it means you knew the dog was dangerous and have a higher responsibility for injuries.

As far as I understand it (IANAL), the legal theory is that breaking in and failing to safeguard the burglar are 2 unrelated crimes, which each deserve their own punishment/damages.
Like @awzurn already explained, in the absence cookies one would need to to pass token through the URL (Signed URL).

Ideally, that token would contain only permission to download that specific file for certain period of time. That said, one additional filter would have to be implemented to look for token in the URL.

I believe that Amazon S3 is doing the same with signing URL requests for file download (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/Developer... and http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/RESTAuthentic...)

LSD is also a good anti-serotonin drug. It is sometimes helpful to take non-hallucinogenic doses of this agent.

Pro-serotonin drugs (SSRIs) are known to help people "not care" about circumstances in their life [1], which is why there is a lot of dissatisfaction with them.

Come on, there were lots of cases in Eastern Europe where previous owners wanted compensation for property that was stolen by the communists. (This gets extra weight when demands come from inside the EU when the country wants to join the EU, of course.)

Not saying the official Swedish policies aren't disgusting in their shameless double standards, of course.

References to that bribe would be interesting for me, to put on FB for my Swedish friends? (I'm Swedish and have been quite a bit in Romania. This is the first time I hear about it. I don't doubt you, news like that don't really show up in Swedish media -- see previous paragraph.)

I should add -- if you want to talk compensation, talk about how the whole western Europe left the eastern Europe to rot as slaves for generations. :-(

Edit: After the 1980s, the US and Saddam weren't on the best of terms. :-)

Edit 2: lostlogin is correct. Forget previous Edit please, I read sloppily. The comment talks about after 2003, not after the 1980s.

Pretty much any digital cinema projection suite will be able to play your run of the mill quicktime/h264 file, so DCP is hardly a requirement to watch cat videos on a cinema screen.

DCP can be a pain in the ass for indie filmmakers, though. These days it's easy to generate a DCP from footage, but basically impossible to test it without actually putting it through a DCP projector in a cinema. This is crazy.
Empirical evidence is also on the side of not creating unemployment.
There is almost a controlled experiment here (similar data to many economics papers).

For each movie, copies are released over time and a correlation can be looked at between quality of rip, distribution by file sharing, and box office receipts.

Sure if you are an application developer (like an integrator, BI, ERP, etc). Make cooperatives. But they won't be flat. You still have a boss - your partner. Every partner is like a mini company and they share resources and partners vote on future direction. It's not that rare actually. The ad agency conglomerates operate similarly. So do management consulting firms which are increasingly getting into tech consulting. Don't know how Accenture operates, but I would think it would be very similar. Ditto for Capgemini, Infosys, Cognizant, the list goes on.
Some Microsoft stores have demos.
My company uses Quip and I'm very happy with it as well. Thinking of moving some of my personal notes and lists from Keep over to Quip. Although I'd give Keep the leg up for simple, quick notes on mobile (and their predictive entry for grocery lists is fantastic)
Part of the immature me wishes we don't invent new diesel trucks for developing countries, especially not with the goal of making it accessible to massive new markets. Doing so will extremely accelerate the global warming and local cancerigen pollution, both of which are there for the duration of the vehicle line (40 years?). I wish we'd start issuing electric models and portable ...nuclear plants? Solar systems? With wifi? This is childish, but the irresponsible pollution aspect of new diesel vehicles is worth pointing out.
It's crazy that devs would ever think sales is easy.

Sales is usually a lot harder than development.

It's why they get paid so much.

I was the first to upgrade from Ubuntu 15.10 to 16.04 in the office. I left my computer unlocked with a wallpaper slideshow on the desktop and when I returned everyone asked where I got my wallpapers from.

Shouldn't you already have the source videos for you channel?
I think the problem here might be that, if you're skimming the text of these "slides" and not looking at the illustrations, you can actually read faster than it's possible to scroll on most computers, and thus "stall your [visual] pipeline." Normally, with scrolling, I can still read while I'm scrolling. In this case, I have to read-THEN-scroll-THEN-read-THEN-scroll, etc.
I've made this comment before, but people don't seem to understand how used one can get to a specific setup.

I've spent for example 20 years working with MY Visual Studio setup, with a normal desktop keyboard and mouse. Then I get handed that crappy flaptop that no one wants to use.

You do what you can, but still your effectiveness basically drops by 40%.

A few additions:

KHTML was originally forked from QHtml (part of Qt) I believe (or they shared the same origin?).

Webkit later became a Qt component, the circle of life.

I would argue chromes biggest innovation was the UI, putting the address bar as part of the tab where it belongs (cue holy war) and better tabbing in general.

Mozilla was also the first to integrate the search and address fields, which they unfortunately stripped out of firefox (and many people think chrome introduced it).
> And most of all, despite its strength, the OX has an extraordinary weight-to-payload ratio. It weighs just over 1,700kg ready to roll, but can carry another 1,800kg. Most pickups weigh much more yet will shoulder much less. A standard Ford F150 or Toyota Hilux takes barely 1,000kg.

> And because the OX is much cheaper, a buyer could have a bigger fleet. “There is just no competition, anywhere,” says Murray. “OXen would have a five times ratio of carrying capacity to cost versus Hiluxes.”
Backing it up from Youtube is likely a better solution since he doesn't have to upload everything twice on a (probably) slow uplink ADSL line.
I would not say a brute force copy must be necessarily lossy by default.

In theory, if the picture is revealed on a display, upon which the full pixel raster can be distinguished for every frame (in real time or slower), an optical capture may be performed, which preserves the original fidelity of the image, and one need not recompress as lossy for peers who have the capacity to receive the full duplicate.

All images are eventually revealed optically somehow. Such images may be captured directly, and corrected and restored according to original quality, if you have good video equipment.

Only one good copy needs to make it into the open, and then the cat's out of the bag.

The Bootstrap maintainers decided to perform that service, defined the terms of the service was, encouraged people to use that service, and now appear to be withdrawing that service at no notice.

IMO, the "not your vendor" line is perfectly reasonable when we are talking about code that was just made available by posting it in a GitHub repo or a blog. Once the members of a project actively promote their product to other people, and happily witness very large numbers of people take the advice and use the product for years in their own projects, I think that it's rather a breach of trust to suddenly change their minds.

The minimum that could have done is given notice that they were struggling for resources and given people in the community an opportunity to help, and perhaps even request that someone from the community step up and become Bootstrap 3 maintainer to handle any necessary bugfixes until users could transition to Bootstrap 4.

Perhaps. Intentionally bad engineering is still bad engineering for the user.
I don't even qualify as a novice, but it seems f(the first iteration) would need start with 0.

With this sequence of numbers 1,1,2,3,5,8
it seems to be calculating

f=0 as 2 * 0+1=1 ;
f=1 as 2 * 1+1=3 ;
f=2 as 2 * 2+1=5 ;
f=3 as 2 * 3+2=8 ;

then f=4 should be 2*5+3=13

I'm not sure how 2 is calculated unless i=0, but this is why I'm not even a novice.
Not much information on the diesel engine used.

Is it a Common Rail, computer-controlled diesel?

I'm in West Africa now, and the diesel quality down here means you really want an all-mechanical injection pump, not a CRD.

Cool idea, but he's got to remember that virtually no body down here (save the UN and big NGOs) buys new vehicles. They're all clapped-out things shipped in from Europe - even the land cruisers have 400,000+ kms on them when they get here.
The extra chips are not free. What we are seeing is bringing up the latest low power tech into the phones for now. Except RAM has hit maximum densities per chip already or is very close.

Remember that RAM has to be powered on for every refresh cycle...

It is "nothing" compared to screen or radios, but it is there. So you won't be seeing more than one Dram chip in there, footprint notwithstanding.

As someone else who also uses ^M for line return here's my reason.

I have the Caps key mapped to control, so ^M is 2 small finger movements as opposed to reaching for the return key which means either moving my (weak in my case) right wrist or moving my whole right forearm. It's a small movement to the return key but I find eliminating it really helps to reduce strain related pain when typing.

I also use ^H for backspace and ^I for tab for similar reasons. This also keeps my fingers on the home row.

Upvoted. I don't hate JavaScript but there is no need for JavaScript on a site like that. I suggest NoScript as a way to turn on or off JS per site.

Partially offtopic. The very page at http://home.gmane.org/2016/08/29/next-steps-gmane/ is much better with JS turned off: JS loads the Raleway font which at the given size and color (#666) is too thin and not contrasted enough to be readable. I have to zoom in many times before it gets OK. The default Arial is much easier on the eyes. Raleway is not that bad on my tablet, maybe because of a higher DPI (8.4" at about 2500x1600 vs 15" at 1920x1080) or because it's AMOLED. Not bad but not good enough. Arial wins even there. With a color of #222 or darker Raleway starts the be readable, but still worse than Arial.
Haskell is absolutely capable of mutation, it's just controlled and tracked. IMHO, immutability is simply a saner default for a high-level language. I think languages "win" due to socio-economic reasons, not technical ones.

> "What, don't you have a sufficiently complex password?"

<anecdote>
I actually had a sufficiently complex password, but this one time I was in a massive hurry to demo something to my teammates, I made a mistake somewhere near the end of it, quickly typed ^U, fed it all over again, made another mistake near the end, another quick ^U, and third time was the charm.

They didn't notice that I reset the password field twice, to them it was just a mega-super-duper-long password (the actual password is 20+ characters), and one of them burst out saying, "Woah! He just wrote a short story!"

Montreal universities land historic $213M investment for computer/brain research
I'm really skeptical about justifying such price. It is literally 10 times more expensive, and I'm curious if the phone is really 10 times better, or if there are power users who really get something out of paying that much more.

I mean the technologies inside it are the same, the specs are higher, sure, but I don't think it's worth that much. That goes for the price of the latest, top notch CPU or GPUs. 1 year or 2 years later, the price has dropped significantly. So either it's cutting edge patents, or that there are many people ready to pay for a phone that won't the latest one in 6 months.

The point I'm trying to make? Like for everything, top of the line products exist, and just like you said, those are not shielded from defects, despite their price. Price is not synonym of quality, performance of durability. 90% of the stuff you find in an expensive phone are the same.

My point is that despite the price of the iPhone, it's not really worth its price.
Thing is, I'm poor, and it was roughly 3x the cost of the discounted ticket I usually use.

Math is so huge......I've taken several math classes beyond calculus. Most people I know struggled with algebra, and are confounded and confused by my math skill. My math skill is so far advanced from zero that the average person cannot even conceive what such things mean.....even famous science writers don't understand eigenvalues, but I do.

Despite all that, I consider myself horrible at math. I am aware that I know only a small portion, and even that portion, poorly.

So maybe Hardy spent more time focusing on what he didn't know, and measured his achievements based on that rather than on what he did know.
You miss a very key point. What percentage of sock sellers buy socks if they can't steal them? The number of people who pirate digital content that they would otherwise have bought is a lot lower than 100%. Another point. And some of the Pirates already own what they are pirating. I've pirated content that I own as I'm not allowed to stream from a DVD drive in a computer I own to a tv I own for some reason. Piracy is also quicker than ripping old DVDs to a format that is actually useful so I'm happy to acknowledge what I get up to.
A better example would be someone copying the sock exactly and using this copied sock. Yes, this violates rights of the original sock designer and manufacturer, but it doesn't actually take their sock.
>“There is just no competition, anywhere,” says Murray.

How about a jeepney then? Perhaps the Ox has an advantage for extremely rugged terrain, but it's hardly cheap. In the Philippines for example, a brand new 20 passenger jeepney costs GBP 8k:

"For the record, a fully-appointed 20-passenger jeepney--with an "Isuzu 4BC1 engine, 75-percent stainless-steel body, stereo system, stickers, halogen lights, side aluminum jalousies"--is priced at P510,000 if you buy it in cash" [1]

If anyone is interested in this course but would prefer to read a book instead, most of this class draws from "Micromotives and Macrobehaviors" by Nobel economist Thomas Schelling. The book basically serves as a compendium of different classes of models, and explores how counterintuitive behavior of the collective can arrive from perfectly reasonable and rational individual strategies of the actors.

It kind of reminds me of the explanation of how the crowd at the Hajj crush (on the front page earlier today) behaved more like a fluid than crowd of communicating agents because the human density was so high.
