The first step of problem solving is acknowledging that a problem exists.

This example demonstrates (yet again) that political correctness is a colossal waste of human effort.

This colossal waste of human effort will persists until, in the very least, people like you recognize the problem that it is.

What you described as "whining" is in fact an attempt to call attention to the problem.

What's to stop them? Can't they take a life boat, head for shore, get arrested for illegal entry and get deported home?

Obviously not ideal, but at least you get fed and eventually get back home.

SO, is your issue with a decent windows manager? I work on RHEL systems daily, and under the hood (sysd arguments not withstanding) its no more or less clunky than any other 'distro' out there. I guess I'm just trying to figure out what exactly you're looking to buy?

That comment would only start to make sense if you assume that a project employs slaves.

Otherwise, it's a colossal waste of human effort, and a very silly one at that.
It is also common practice for news pages and blogs to leave some form of indication that the content has been edited.

Youtube did not do that in this case. I would not have had any issues with this if they had indicated that the content had been altered.

There's some implication of a relationship between genius, mystique, and abuse, that seems to let it slide somehow. "Rationalized".

I wonder, if we were talking about Miles Davis being a particularly gifted accountant, would the same behaviour be written off so poetically?

I listen to Miles Davis a lot but was not aware of that part of his history. Should it change anything? I'm not sure.

Indeed. That alone, makes me not want to even take a look at the text and dismiss it right away as negative for the vast amounts of the population.
For me, personally, it doesn't take anything away from the music, but it certainly takes plenty from the man. And if we're going to discuss the history, it's just as important as any other trivia that colors the story.

FWIW, the group TTIP was mostly going to "remove protectionist measures from" was consumers.
Because you want to test what is possible or what is on the table. It's difficult to do this in public.

For example imagine asking for some kind of legal jurisdiction on cigarettes and plain packaging, in being able to sue the government. Very unpopular, but it represents lots of jobs. Not that I like this. But its worth asking, just it wouldn't be very publicly promising. Though imagine foreign countries blocking American ones with simple plain packaging..

It's just good to scope what can be put on the table. But its a bit silly when it comes out that such a thing was asked for, even though its likely to be thrown off the table.

Something weird happened last year where I understood it a bit more on why these negotiations happen in private. There was a proposal over a treaty in banning ivory trade - this is great! Then looking over the clauses it meant the government had to enforce confiscating ivory from everyone's households, however old it is - and that's a bit weird. So they didn't adopt lots of provisions of the treaty. Initially it looked really strange on why the EU rejected an outright ivory ban.

You're a towel!
By the time elected representatives get to vote on the deal, the decision boils down to "completely reject it" or "accept it as-is and hope that maybe some of the concerns will be noticed and adjustments will be made". And considering how politics work there's a huge incentive not to make the entire deal fail that far into the process.

i din't say that i don't look at source code, but not intuitively.
I look at it when the method is very confusing, or i have to optimise one path, it is undocumented and important etc. What i wanted to say is that types give you a pretty good first intuition to what the method does and how (including exceptions).

Nothing you have presented here is rationale for denying the public insight into the process.

If there is something "meta" about a specific deal, the public can and will acknowledge that.

The implication you're making is that the general populace is too stupid to understand complex issues and should mindlessly accept the decisions of their politicians without any insight at all(let alone input).
You first paragraph sounds like something out of Dave Eggers' The Circle.

yes, I have red and I don't agree.
I do not like such a generalization.

a summary of the entire article is:

"a programer does not primarily write code; rather, he primarily writes to another programer about his problem solution."

I agree with one:
there are good programers and there are bad programers.
I don't agree, that bad programers die young ;)
Today there are more bad than good programmers.
So various governments calling up Google to stealthily edit out video content they don't agree with or might be harmful to them, doesn't concern you?

Well that's fine, but please don't pretend this is a practice other people shouldn't be concerned about.
That would be because your representative is not a negotiator. They get to approve or reject the deal once it is done, but "people" do not get involved in the negotiation because "people" have a lot of parochial interests and are, as history has taught us, quite ignorant. Sorry if this bothers you, but it is how trade deals have always been done and is how they will always be conducted going forward.
genuine question: do you have evidence for that? This interests me

I am barely able to get a 20mb ADSL2 connection here in Australia, let alone 100mb. I know I won't live to see even a 1gb connection speed becoming available in Australia in my lifetime. Lab conditions and real world conditions are two different things. You can have a fast connection, but if the bandwidth isn't there to meet the demand, then you just end up with a fast link to the exchange and then from there, it's plain old slow internet.
>"The Bogdanoffs' work is significantly more incoherent than just about anything else being published. But the increasingly low standard of coherence in the whole field is what allowed them to think they were doing something sensible and publish it."

There's a certain beauty in an entire field losing coherency.

I feel like this quote could be about javascript libraries too. For instance http://vanilla-js.com/ has all the right jargon and could be mistaken for a serious project.
Fantastic, legendary musician, but a monster as a person; a man who turned some of his female fans into prostitutes and beat them when they didn't make enough money to sustain his heroin habit.

This is common with a lot of figures from the past, of course, from Picasso the wifebeater to Wagner the antisemite, Washington the slave owner, to Gary Glitter the child abuser.
> So it's a murky situation from the beginning. I think the TTIP is an attempt to have a common ground to end up with something instead of nothing.

That's the standard rationalization we've been fed form EU comission as well. But when that "something" means that we give up on our EU consumer protection laws to benefit american corporate profits it's actively harmful and against the values of people actually living in EU.
I'm addition to thermal issues others have noted...

One reason is to keep the pipes as short as possible.

Another reason is for internal volume efficiency. You could put the helium tank and other support equipment outside the LOX tank. However, there will naturally be some void spaces around all this stuff. This results in the second stage being larger and heavier. Putting it all inside the tank means that all the nooks and crannies can be filled with LOX.
I think if a video was edited there should be some indication when it happened, only because if feels like the right thing to do.

But because the tools to edit aren't available to everyone, they probably don't want to make this become an issue so tried to do it stealthily.

At least they didn't remove a few of the dislikes in the process (although I have no evidence they didn't).

As for the Heroes scheme itself, I don't get it. I don't know what the motivation to put all that work in is, as there is no money in it and the rewards seem to only serve the tool, but not the individual putting the time in.

Well I'll be completely straight and say this isn't anything new. (You've been able to buy similar video glasses from china for about 5 years now) but if it can properly integrate with the app, and slim down a LOT more. To the point the camera is unnoticeable - they could finally start making some money. Well, until the Chinese knockoffs start rolling in
How do we switch it off on Chrome (Windows)?
Possibly. An equally likely situation is that US leadership can see that the EU is falling apart. The UK is already headed out the door, the failure of EU banking and financial institutions given the current massive debt problems, and a collective that seems to only be able to solve their bleak demographic future by pulling in eastern European basket-cases that no one really wants to have in the union makes an EU trade deal less important. Why waste time dickering with a declining EU when you can get a better return on your efforts by improving trade with Asia and Africa?
And when US ended civil liberties around the world (with the mislead subject of "terrorism"), it triggered some wars too.
This perspective fits into the top-down evolution narrative: Write highly specialised solutions in the most general way in software until essential, generic parts are discovered and stable enough to be translated into transistor logic. Repeat.

Or like the Bitcoin "evolution": CPU -> GPU -> FPGA -> ASIC (this is a very simple, single purpose optimisation, but it can illustrate part of picture)

Only optimising transistor speed, their size or the whole CPU/GPU package has obviously limitations and may be a dead end.
Nope, but google is trying. See google contributor and youtube red. Start there.
Yes, the life of the politicians are easier if they don't have to be accountable for the stances they take in the negotiations. It seems to me that if the politicians want to get anything done, they'd have to convince their electorate that what they are doing is a good thing. If they have trouble justifying that, then they shouldn't do it in the first place.

The problem is that minority can organize a street protest to protect its interest at the cost of interest of general public who is not that motivated to take it to the street on what is one of many (and often not in the category of the most important ones) issues for them.

One example is Uber. Everyone I know who uses it loves it, it's cheaper, more reliable, the service is better as well. Despite all of it there are protests because it hurts one group (taxi drivers) a lot. It really is a problem when special interest group can force their way at the cost of the public just because they are louder and organized enough to take the matter to the streets.
The change wasn't made in BIOS update, only newer physical models had this change applied and they shipped right away being blocked.

Aside of that, this couldn't even be a change made in BIOS update, because every OS installed earlier, including preinstalled Windows, would stop booting without being provided with Intel driver.
Ok this is interesting tech and I like the light being shined on the remnants of Nokia occasionally, but the headline is misleading clickbait. They compare the new speed against today's fast consumer fiber, even though they say in the article that this is a new tech for backbones.

I live in Thailand and having occasional locals who literally eye-ball fuck you without blinking because it's so novel for them to see a foreigner, I can tell you that someone just staring at you is creepy, regardless of their age.
One way to solve that would be to have a period in which politicians had to justify their plans, including the kinds of trade deals they would negotiate, to the electorate. Then we could all vote for the politician we preferred. We could call it an "election campaign".

Every strong engineering team needs someone with real security chops.. not just someone who can fix SQLi after it's been pointed out, but someone who gets security at the infrastructure level. Someone who gets the why, not just the how. Not every team has that person or that person can't devote the time to play that role.

With a few good references and strong VC/Accelerator connections, this boutique consulting business should do fine. The question for me is how much pain is there on the board/founder (the key influencers/buyers of the service) compared to the cost of the services... or the risk of doing nothing.
The orientation of the deal comes from the governments of the memeber states. There is a clear place to fix it and it's in your state if you dislike how it goes so far.
Popular culture sidenote : in France, the Bogdanov's brothers are now the standard butt of jokes related to:

- aesthetic surgery (in a close race with actresses Emanuelle Beart and Angelina Jolie)

- aliens (or people looking like, claiming to have met, or communicate with aliens)

- chins (a rather popular comedian has based about 12% of all his jokes about silly puns with Bogdanov's brothers and the word 'menton')

- lots of other stufff

- mad scientists

- and, I suppose, cosmologists (although it is probably a challenge to make a cosmologist joke in front of a regular audience.)

For whatever it's worth, next time you have to make a standup routine in France.

That's the big problem with TTIP: those who negotiated it (on the EU side at least) weren't elected representatives. In fact, elected representatives only very recently received very limited access to the negotiation documents themselves. In Germany, access was granted to members of parliament only January this year. Even so, they weren't even allowed to carry electronic devices or pen-and-paper notebooks.

This is why TTIP, no matter the content, is undemocratic. As is CETA.

Intel seems to be captured in its own x86 world. There were no big changes to the instruction set for ages, even the x64 extensions were designed by AMD. So while Intel still excels at manufacturing, the few projects for breaking out of their box failed (Ithanium, Larrabee). And also: why are there no Intel chips yet who include all the nice things USB-C can offer to the market? E.g. Thunderbolt, newest DisplayPort.
