> Also, every year, the zoo staff try to weigh the birds by baiting a weighing scale with fruit—and the crows would often foil them by just raking the fruit off with a stick.

This sounds like evidence of a playful sense of humor, unless there was a different reason the crows didn't want to get on the scale!

They say tool use is a sign of intelligence, but it is probably more accurate (and intriguing) to say it is a sign of a higher level of consciousness. Using a tool means you are not just running on pure instinct, reacting to the environment. The crows see those inaccessible grubs and think "Cant get that food. But I can use this stick to poke them!"

I am fascinated by crows and have begun carrying a ziploc bag of peanuts around in my car in case I stumble across any. They are extremely wary birds (unlike seagulls), so you have to be very subtle in how you feed them. At first I would just throw the peanuts in their direction, which scared them. This can be really bad if you do it with crows near your house because they remember faces and share that knowledge with others, so one incident can make you a "bad person" for a long time!
My first exposure to Banks was The Wasp Factory, which remains one of the only books that has ever literally nauseated me. It was excellent, but it's been hard for me to pick up another book of his since.

Oh, actually I did read The Business, which introduced me to the delightful question "how do you count to 1000 on your fingers?" (without using 'intermediate storage' like keeping track of 10's in your head). I still use that when teaching elementary number theory.

DJANGO, OS X AND FIREWALL EXCEPTIONS
I used to work for the UK National Council for Civil Liberties - the UK ACLU if you like. (I was trying to prevent legislation removing right to silence in UK).

The organisation was well respected and had before I got there forced Britain's Security Services to admit and release to holding files on all the workers there - people who later became cabinet ministers under Blair / brown.

I have always assumed I also have a very thin file.

I am not ashamed of having that file or have having taken democratic action to change my society. What I am ashamed of is having done it so badly - the campaign did not really use web or email (This was the when of Internet cafes), I had no suit when I went to the Lords and got flustered on radio interviews.

the press release is terrible. the paper is fine. this is really interesting work. of course the paper gives a much more nuanced view of the performance benefits.

this is effectively scheduling to hide memory latency (ala SMT) except done entirely dynamically, with batching to support locality.

the most impressive part of the paper isn't just the speedup, but the speedup in the presence of the substantial overhead involved in capturing, scheduling, and restoring the closures.

it would be nice if the super-fine-grained threading model made more than the occasional appearance. it opens up a lot of potential for hiding all kinds of latencies. if a runtime can reap substantial benefits, imagine what an architecture could do (i.e. SMT)

Salaries are not exorbitant.

Given that this is a global audience, and that even within the US the salary disparity across regions and industries is tremendous, could you be more specific than "not exorbitant"? My guess, from having a parent who taught at a likely even lower paying institution in rural Wisconsin, is that real numbers would make your case better than a euphemism to which people will attach their own expectations.
If I recall correctly, Snowden didn't even have concrete plans to escape from Hong Kong after revealing his identity. Wikileaks sent someone to get him to Russia. He just assumed he'd get caught.

If this is true, I find your theory implausible.

Also, from hearing him talk, I'm quite convinced he thought long and hard about the moral implications of what he's doing. To the point where it would surprise me very much if "the greater good" weren't his primary motivation.
Paranoid? Naah. I'm working on the assumption this site (pardonsnowden.org) is run by the CIA, or one of it's proxies, whatever, to gather the names of Snowden sympathisers.

The external examiner should allow that to happen, if they're doing their job. The whole point of the external examiner is so professors can't just collude to pass people.

I've seen a number of things happen during a defence, but not this. The worst was seeing two professors (one of whom was the candidate's supervisor) on the committee argue with each other while the candidate just had to watch. It took a lot of work for the chair to reign them in. I think it was difficult for the chair because they were arguing in German and the chair didn't speak it since he wasn't from the German department (my friend was getting her Ph.D. in German literature).
Yes, it's possible. Bear in mind that not just clicks count though. July managed a peak APM of 818 in Stracraft: Brood War in an official game. The average APM of a match is usually between 300 and 500, also depending on the race that is played.
The fundamental problem with basket based inflation measures is if gas prices go up or down it's generally an identical good. If t-shirts quality declines the price may drop, but you may need to spend more money on t-shirts.

Sure computers may 'get better', but it's software we care about. If Word 2050 needs a X$ laptop then it does not matter how fast that laptop is it's still the same quality as the laptop running Word 2040.

Net result all inflation measures are off which is one reason so many things keep growing faster 'than inflation'.
What I mean is the buildings themselves achieve higher density not through height but through aggressively crowding mid-rise buildings together. It also has a fairly uniform density compared to New York where you have skyscrapers in some parts and detached family homes in others. Staten Island pulls down the density average in a huge way.

The result is it doesn't feel nearly as dense as it actually is.

This is in contrast to Hong Kong, São Paulo, and other cities that achieve density through high-rise buildings. You're intimately aware you're in a big city when you're in the built-up cores of these.

It's github enterprise: https://enterprise.github.com/features#pricing
I'm evaluating GitLab at work currently - primarily for its code review features and really like it. Read a lot about Phabricator yesterday as a possible alternative, and am considering testing it.

I wonder how it compares to GitLab. Is it possible to set up protected branches, where I can say, only users X and Y are allowed to push to the master branch? Can I do a code review and then finalize it when I'm finished and does the author get notified with a summary like the new GitHub code review feature? Because currently in GitLab the author does get a notification email for every line comment I make, which is also not really the perfect way of doing it.

I already know that Phabricator squashes the changes into one commit, I think I can live with that. (because it promotes small code reviews) Does Phabricator have any problems with git rebase, where I'm refreshing a feature branch with the most recent master state? What I really like about the merge/pull request workflow of GitLab is, that multiple developers can work together on one feature branch while a merge request is open and can be used as a discussion platform for the changes - is this possible with Phabricator?

Also I'm wondering how solid the issue tracking is, and if the project workboards can compete with Trello. Can it be used by non-developers without giving them access to the code?

Looking forward to test Phabricator tomorrow.

I find it odd that they did not include Rust in their list of preferred languages. Rust is safer than C++ and Go.
Also reminds me of CMIP and GDMO in old ITU network management standards in the mid 90s. They were RESTful, object-oriented, and you could make some pretty expressive queries with them. The standards failed probably because they were way ahead of their times: too many new concepts, too complicated compared to SNMP, and the documents were a very boring read.

I too have had a California landlord have "the temerity to withhold my entire security deposit and ask me for more to pay for expenses that are explicitly the landlord's under California law" and started the process to take him to small claims court.

I started legal proceedings too. I went to a "traditional" school, so I think you are perhaps reading too much into things.

As an aside, I recommend asking for receipts for all of the expenses they are claiming and keeping track of the deadlines for the provision of paperwork. In my case, the landlord had 21 days to provide receipts or they were liable for the FULL deposit. They failed to provide receipts, admitted so in writing and then stopped talking to me entirely for a bit until I pointed out that CA law allows for automatic triple damages for landlords witholding security deposits and that they had already missed their deadline to return the required paperwork to me.

> I would also say he did not go through internal channels.

I have no opinion on the "district heads" thing. I've never worked in the non-private intel world. Most of what I know on the topic is here:

https://news.vice.com/article/edward-snowden-leaks-tried-to-...

This has been spun exceptionally hard in multiple versions of their story, and as best I can tell, "proper channels" as used by NSA flacks at this point means "people who could shut him up." This is based on the FIOA'd discussions found in the above-linked documents. Snowden's account hasn't changed and has matched details the NSA story only included in later versions (apparently because there were releases they didn't expect with contrary facts after their first version). Everyone, of course, will form their own opinions about this.

But let's say that Snowden never attempted to tell anyone inside, at all. Do you think the general population of the U.S. would have learned what is being done in their name? Do you think a single program would have changed, even the cosmetic renaming and budget-shuffling that allows spokesmuppets tell highly deceptive technical-truths in congressional hearings?

>> If it is that he fled, then it doesn't matter to where.
>Why does it not?

You misread. I am not arguing that it doesn't matter; I'm parsing the GP's argument.

> I'm not sure I would consider that vetting.

Many people have differences of opinion. Unfortunately, I have yet to hear of a vetting scheme that would both satisfy critics and have informed the general public to the same degree.

My personal belief is that the damage done by an out-of-control intelligence regime is far greater than burning necessarily transient sources and methods. Even if it weren't, I'd grade the disclosure on a curve, because the spin coming out of any intelligence agency about this sort of thing is inherently untrustworthy, and intelligence has to be kept on a short leash. Add to that the incredible scale of the NSA/Five Eyes networks and the fact that the NSA is demonstrably harming (at least) civilian security by emphasizing offense over defense, and we have something incredibly frightening with intrusive capabilities the Stasi could only have dreamed of. You can have that, or you can have democracy, but I don't believe you can have both. And that's only looking at "official" uses; we know NSA employees also have used the data for, ah, call it personal reasons. Both anti-democratic uses are inevitable.

> I wouldn't be so quick so side with every single thing Snowden did to avoid being cast as a zealot.

You're clearly not. Oh, you're trying to politely advise me? I don't side with Snowden (or Greenwald, or Wheeler, or...) on everything (or even "a lot"), but I probably am a zealot by your definition, because I believe the "moderate" approach here is a vastly (as in arguing over orders of magnitude) scaled-back, retooled NSA/FBI/CIA.

"The areas of Philadelphia that are built in this style can hardly be called a 'safe environment', unfortunately"

Center city is pretty safe. So is South Street. Old City. Plenty of other neighborhoods too numerous to mention with this style of buildings. Yes, crime is relatively high in the city, but it's concentrated in certain areas (see: http://www.trulia.com/real_estate/Philadelphia-Pennsylvania/...). There's a reason the Badlands is called the Badlands and Center City isn't. Judging the whole city to be unsafe by its overall crime stats is ridiculous, unfair, and misleading.

> That "grit" is entirely within an academic context and does not necessarily translate outside of that context

Do you have any particular reason for stating this? Having been in both environments, I actually think that academic grit translates outside of academia more fluidly than the other way around.

Conjectured reason: most academic projects have a horizon of 5-20 years to market and require large amounts of very mundane and uninspiring work. There are infinite distractions within academia. A successful academic project isn't going to make anyone rich, and even if it does, that person probably won't be you. Also, the pay is terrible.

Startup and even corporate life are very different in almost all of those dimensions. Projects succeed or fail fast. There are few distractions, especially for individual contributors. There's still routine work, but usually routine in the sure-to-succeed way rather than the sure-to-fail-and-be-repeated-10x-times way. A successful project can easily make you a valuable person -- either on the job market or in terms of actual net worth. And even if everything hits the fan, you're receiving a reasonable salary and building your career.

That is certainly true.
In American schools violence is often institutionalized. Teacher beat children, children get used to violence.

Has this been permitted within the last 50 years? It definitely happened in the 1960s and earlier, but corporal punishment has not been a thing in American schools for a long time.
Unfortunately, just because you know something is a lie, doesn't mean that that kills its power, especially if it was a very convincing, detailed, life-like lie. Our wetware isn't so advanced (simple?) as that; the consequences of sensory input on the subconscious are varied and complex.
I see the point, did think the same when reaching "npm install" it's like gcc -o a.out something.html

But there are teams dedicated to the "image" of opensource projects, and people that needs to collaborate that ways, creating wordings... like:

Of developers.

We as developers, at the end of the day, are humans.

And image branding, helps to projects adoption. Not always and not only. But it helps.

By other comments, that ".html" sounds like those ".io" or ".me" domains... a way of bring an ip response to you in 2016.

It could have been worse... usually we need a .html to load many .js (and moar stufz)... hey, it's related.

Ask HN: Making closed-source software that handles personal data illegal?
Basically, if someone is handling your personal data, you need to be able to know exactly what they're doing with it.

Of course they'll always have other ways to access that data but it would be a good start.

That would also mean that the server would have to be as secure as possible because the code would be open to the public.

What do you guys think?
Nope. We have lots of custom needs.
