Very rarely did I see anything marked confidential. The assumption was that all work related documents and information was to be protected. As far as I was concerned, removing any work related data, email, or other information from the site was grounds for immediate termination and likely charges being brought.

I don't know the practices at the state department, but for my section, the guideline was, "Just assume everything is sensitive, protect it, and you won't have any problems."

Compiling a list of networked computers by IP and OS, that data would be considered sensitive, and obviously not to be removed off site, but would not be marked in any way.

From a practical perspective, the "not marked as classified" doesn't really make sense to me, it may have some legal merit, but I couldn't speak to that.

Show HN: Enterprise Collaboration re-imagined – The Houuse
I wonder how many people complaining about Crockford have posted or support the statement "If you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best." Nodevember doesn't deserve Douglas Crockford. And Lipscomb, where the event is being held, is a religiously oppressive institution where "All full-time, undergraduate students are required to take Bible classes and attend chapel twice a week. [1]" Sounds like Nodevember is a lose-lose situation for all involved.

Interesting experiment, I'm always curious about data-class-dependent filters that affect compression.

In this case, I must say that it's not really exciting to see that, after all this work, zstd level 20 is comparable. If I were to choose, I wouldn't add a complex filter (which might even bring bugs) for a 1% final gain, but YMMV.
Same here, and as long as you understand how mysql replication works it's not too much effort to deal with. Performing the initial sync without downtime is a bit tricky, but can be done with a well-designed database and some thought. Basically you need to at least temporarily make the bulk of your data read-only, so that you can do most of the data transfer while things are running, and then only briefly lock tables on the source server for long enough to copy the stuff that has changed since the dump, and grab the binlog position. Then you copy that stuff over to the slave as well, update the slave to the correct position, and then start the slave.

That's master/slave, but to get master/master, all you need to do is start a slave on the original master and point it at the current master position on the original slave (which should be static since it isn't yet accepting any queries directly). These posts may be helpful:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-...
http://plusbryan.com/mysql-replication-without-downtime

Once it's running, as long as you're not running autoincrement queries or other things that can conflict on both servers at the same time, without taking appropriate precautions, it should chug away without any intervention.

If something does go wrong, you can often figure it out by looking at the slave status, fixing the inconsistency manually, skipping the bad query, and then starting the slave. If not though, you can always just re-synchronize from scratch. Or even better, run your databases off of an LVM volume, then take regular snapshots. (IE snapshot, make a tarball of the snapshot of the mysql directory, then remove the snapshot.) That will give you a consistent backup, even with the server running. On an SSD, the temporary added latency probably won't be noticed, especially if done off-peak. Then if anything goes wrong, you can restore from the snapshot, and it should catch back up to the master from the snapshot's position automatically (as long as your expire_logs_days setting in my.cnf is longer than the duration since the snapshot was taken).
also, this indirectly reminded me of what I thought to be one of DC's greatest talks: Monads and Gonads (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0EF0VTs9Dc)
People at University are grown ups, not school children. If they decide to ignore the lectures and still pass the exams, fine. If they fail, it's their own problem. I also think, attendance should never be mandatory. You should learn to reach your goals in a way that's best for you, not obediently sitting in classrooms. Of course, this is difficult for the ego of the lecturers who could often just be replaced by recordings, because they repeat their monologue word by word year after year, including the jokes.
Recordings actually have big advantages anyway: you can pause them if you require time to think about something, you can play them faster for endless statements of obvious stuff and you can take a break when your brain needs it.

I loved university back then, but the learning could have certainly been much more efficient (e.g. some lectures are fine, lectures for 6 hours straight are not). Same with exercises - some have a clear teaching goal and you can really benefit from them, others are a completely useless waste of time. Obviously it's not easy for a new student to differentiate between them, but I think figuring out how to best reach your learning goals by yourself is an important part of studying. Not all people are equal, but the teaching is usually done as if they were, so you have to give people the freedom to adapt the learning experience for themselves.
Even if that means watching hockey games in class and reading the book during the night. It's a strategy. If it fails - you can learn from it.
Wow, because I really want to have my computer listening in on everything I say and snitching (with context) to an unknown listener if I say a bad word.

Only "on" in French is specifically for persons whereas "it" is for things and not persons. It is properly considered derogatory to refer to a person as a thing - hardly a quirk.
"On" is also non-specific and can't stand in for he or her.
The advantage or quirk in French is the singular possessive pronouns follow the gender of the thing possessed not the possessor.
Edit: to clarify, my objection is that "on" is not an example of a gender-neutral all-purpose or sentience-neutral pronoun. Not having one of these is hardly a quirk (just a pita).
I tried booting to this with QEMU 2.6.1 with `qemu-system-x86_64 -sdl -fda nasa-spoc.img`.

It does boot but it uses some graphics mode that isn't properly emulated with QEMU, and only about half of the screen contents get displayed in the window.

edit: I got virtualbox to boot it but it's slow as molasses. Perhaps I don't have the right virtualization enabled. And I can't get the ALT (or CODE) key to work, so I can't get past the first screen.
Yes. A fully automated business for 3D prints of ultrasound scans in glass cubes. The USP is that you upload a low res scan (most doctors don't want to give you access to the full 3d data) whereupon it does image processing to create a 3d point cloud which it puts into a reverse engineered laser engraving format. If payment is processed on the bundled website it then sends the engraving file and delivery sheet to a sub contractor. Profit. Everything ready to run. Wasn't so very happy with the point cloud quality though, but it's probably good enough. Ran out of interest just before the marketing phase. Hackers eh.
So what? 木 means wood now. (Well, no it doesn't. 木头 means wood now. 木 is not a word in modern Chinese.) It meant tree, which is relevant to the construction of 森, 本, 休, 树, etc.

Just like there are regularly reported "MDMA deaths" in the mainstream media despite MDMA never having been reasonably blamed for any death (beyond crazy "took 50x recommended dosage" or disingenuous "took something they thought was MDMA but was actually ketamine" cases).
Or perhaps the marginalization is felt now, but certainly once wasn't - it's an artificial, unnecessary and divisive perpective. But I can imagine that just like misheard song-lyrics it's something that people pick up on, and won't let go.

It's aggrevating, but it's a battle that may already have been lost.

My words are true. Our (russians) colloquial lexicon have tremendous amount of words from thieves jargon. Constitution in Russia have less meaning than thieves' laws. Our users, even programmers/hackers are trying to get free any software - it's kind of snobbery to use paid software in Russia. Maybe it's something wild for you, but it's reality in Russia.
Maybe that's so he's not preaching to the converted? I'd imagine that most non-tech people wouldn't have any idea about the multiple layers of problems that online ad platforms can generate.

I'd think the vast majority of people have no idea any this is even happening, let alone the downsides.

> But the way that sentence would normally be said where I'm from (Australia) would be "as long as they give a good talk"

Yes, language evolves. Currently, this is almost certainly grammatically incorrect, "they" being the third person plural and (not shown here, but assumed) the speaker being singular.

"They" is being pressed into service as the non-derogatory, gender-neutral third person singular that's missing in english. So "they" has started to mean both third person plural and unspecified third person singular. The previous solution was that "he" meant both "male" and "unspecified". So previously women got their own pronoun, men didn't, now we have a harder time telling whether there's a single person or a group.

Both solutions have their quirks, both work at some level.
While it's good to question the highly dubious criteria to separate legal from non-legal drugs, I think all these studies showing alcohol as the worst drug fail to account for the fact that if used in a responsible way, the harm caused is practically zero.

A person who likes to drink a cup of wine or a beer two or three times a week, and doesn't do so when driving, receives and causes no harm in practice (I know, there are studies about increasing cancer risks due to alcohol, but no more than with meat and other non-drug products). This is not true of cocaine, heroin or even tobacco, where there is no such thing as a harmless dose, and it is controversial in the case of cannabis.
Do you think it's okay to run a private email server as your primary conduit for work communication, if nothing "marked as classified" is ever sent to you as Secretary of State?

I'm not sure why it doesn't make sense.

Removing any information, classified or not, off site is a huge no no. The fact that it was confidential information, that was later marked as such does not change the nature of the information.

So your parents payed more than they had to by not gaming the system as much as they could have, because they are good people, and maybe apple would also 'play nice' if the coroprate tax rate wasn't that high. I believe that in reality if you're an individual you should pay your taxes where you live, to the gouvernment that provides its services to you, and if you don't like their deal you should try to emigrate. Similarly as a business you should be properly taxed in each market that you're operating in. All of this shouldn't depend on bargining and good will. There's no use in talking about tax rates as long as we only pay them out of the kindness of our hearts and they don't apply to all the big fish anyways.

I don't think so -- Python has been around a long time and really grew up with the web during the 2.x series, thus, libraries have been slow to move to 3.x and adoption of 3.x has been slow because of that. Also, 3.x didn't really add any new killer features either -- I think maybe that is starting to change however with some cool new stuff only landing in 3.x (asyncio, type annotations are coming, etc).

This depends on flexbox. As per CanIUse flexBox is fully supported only on Android 4.4 and above.

However as per:

https://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/index.html

More than 20% "active" Android devices out there still don't support flexbox. So unless you are targeting websites only for high end device owners, flexbox only is still not an option.

Edit: Posted it too fast! On CanIUse I checked support for Android Browser. However Google Chrome for Android is supported on 4.1 and above. So most likely many Android users running Android 4.1 to 4.3 may be using Google Chrome. However it's hard to know how many.

I have no evidence to support this theory, but I believe that Linode is not an outlier with regards to frequent DDOS attacks. What makes this company special seems to be with how it communicates to its customers when it's under attack.

I personally block adds, not because of annoyance, but because of tracking. I find private collection of information a bigger threat than I do government tracking. I like neither, but given the option, I would rather be tracked by the government.

That may be an issue with the particular model?

In all the "automatics" I drove, American as well as Japanese models (the latter only several Hondas), I had no problem to know and control very precisely when the shift up or down would occur. I would drive up a hill and I knew exactly if I pressed down just a millimeter more the care would shift, which I delayed from happening until the ascend got less steep. That level of control was easy to get with only a little bit of experience with the specific car/transmission.

In Denmark, Ikea has "furniture taxis" so you can take what you've bought home with you.

I've not seen the same service arranged by other stores, but the taxi companies can be called. (Ikea doesn't run the taxis, it's a local company.)

Or you can ask for a normal delivery, but of course you'd need to be at home.

Furniture and many large appliances don't fit in typical cars anyway.
