Thank you for saying this. I'm not Greek. I'm a typical U.S. mutt with somewhat unknown origins.

I'd like to add that the distinction we use now to indicate differences between Eastern and Western culture/art/and music are largely artifacts of how things evolved after a key point in time.

I know the most about Music, so I'll speak to that. What we speak of now as "Western Music" is largely tonal or functional harmony, and it has its origins in ancient Greece around the time of Pythagoras. But it was a mixture of the Eastern chant tradition with the applied Mathematical and logical rigor of Hellenistic Greeks that provided the foundation for what would eventually evolve to what we now know it as.

For about 1000 years, the early Christians mostly followed in the tradition of Eastern chant traditions with some additional codification and structure in what we now call Gregorian Chant. A guy named Boethius described texts by Pythagoras, Aristoxenus, and Plato, and was reprinted in Renaissance Italy and got some attention there.

And--just as that several generations tried to do by superimposing Greek Philosophy onto the Church doctrine of the time--misinterpreted/mistranslated those pieces of information onto what was at the time a developing, but still fairly primitive version of polyphony.

What happened from there happened pretty quickly and is well known. [1]Zarlino, Palestrina, Bach, Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, Mahler, Schoenberg, etc. Pop music took over the mantle of tonal music right about the time that "classical" composers were getting funky and atonal in the mid-20th century, and has largely stuck with it.

Everything you hear on the radio that is popular is directly traceable to Bach (and unfortunately much less interesting). The work of Bach himself was the almost-inevitable evolution of what happened when Greek thought met Eastern chant.

[1] Before the Boethius reprint in Italy in the late 15th century, the chant style that originated in the Church was, in fact, evolving to certain types of polyphony . . . some of it quite beautiful, and instrumental music was also becoming its own separate thing rather than just an accompaniment to a singer. There was a weird time when a lot of mathematics were applied to the generation of music in the 14th century, and you can find examples of music from this period that are so odd, you could mistake them for mid-20th century art music. But this is a) mostly happening in France and the Netherlands, and b) well before Greek philosophical thought really took fire and spread across a more modern Europe.

Also, this is really broad, and I'm leaving a lot out. Bottom line is that we call it Western Music Theory or Wester Music because the mixture of central Asian and Greek traditions evolved in the way that it did and continues to be separate from purely Eastern musical traditions where Greek philosophy did not take a strong hold.

It's a label of convenience to describe the result of a long process; it's not intended to reflect some kind of a pure origin.
"that's exactly how the non-western major world civilisations are called. "

Everyone called everyone else 'Barbarian' - that does not mean they were.

The Germanic tribes at the time were objectively, probably 'Barbarians' ... that's roughly objective.

Hardware design on this feels entirely uninspired, Chinese knockoff of last years iPhone and Samsung devices.

If they truly started from scratch and ended up here then this hardware initiative is going to fall flat. But I'm gonna guess they didn't start from scratch and this is just a rebadged device as people suspect.

Why on earth would you launch such a cheap plasticky looking device in such a similar form than your competitors device last year when their update was moving that device into more premium materials (iPhone 6 looks positively cheapo next to the 7) and making it seamless.
It's entirely likely they didn't know that - apparently none of the people working on it were told how much it sold and the company tried to stop outsiders estimating its sales figures through services like SteamSpy.
Thank you for saying this. I wrote something similar to my state reps when the law for private sales passed here. It is onerous on those of us live rural where guns are needed but are considerably far from a licensed dealer.
> Unless you had some kind of legal guarantee to park in front of your own home, you never should have counted on being able to do so. If you feel bad when you can't do it anymore, it's because you had unrealistic expectations from the beginning. You just happened to be lucky that nobody else parked there.

That's not how most humans think - and if logic disagrees with people's moral intuitions, so much the worse for logic.
I sense the response was somewhat less receptive for subjective reasons.

For example, his tone is too formal and sounds bureaucratic. He refuses to state his actual request until the end of a long winded description of his clout and authority.

I think people did listen but were turned off before he even got to the point.

Digital advertising agencies are special in a sense that game dev isn't really other domain for those. If you do your tech inhouse, its likely you'll have people capable of gamedev, be it iOS/Unity/Unreal/Defold/HTML5 or (much less these days) Flash.
To be fair the iPhone build quality and hardware design look like a premium product. This looks like a chinese knockoff

Before owning an iPhone, I was very happy with an (at the time) expensive Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

But then... Google dropped updates for this phone after just 18 months and the microUSB crappy plastic connector started to fall apart and don't charge.
It seems that now Google is selling premium hardware (finally), but what about software updates? I get about 4 years of updates on an iPhone now, who knows what are the plans for this Pixel.

Well, intuitively, I'd say you could divide the graph in two parts (along a cut). Then compute the CH-extended graph for both of the parts. And then combine those two graphs into the CH-extended graph for the whole graph. And you do this recursively, alternating the direction of the cut. This way, it is also easy to parallelize.
Surely in this context a minute is used as an angular measurment. I am not sure that km is directly comparable as it implies assumptions about projection.

Well, the decimal calendar had 12 months of 30 days each, with either 5 or 6 extra days depending on leap years.

Months had three ten-day "weeks".

As you see, nobody is trying to fight physical reality, since day and year are hard lengths that you can't redefine.

But decimal time, decimal calendar and more generally decimal units are all about trying to eliminate as much as possible the historical peculiarities that are not grounded in physical reality:

The irregular length of months, the weird 24 hours in a day, and the base 60 which has been obsolete for millennia now. All of these do not give any advantage to the users of these units today.

Divisibility by 3, 6 or 12 are useless today because we now master decimal numbers easily. I know Imperial units users still often use fractions, but metric units users don't, and it just works. Not once in my life have I been thinking "oh, how I wish I could express 0.41 centimeters in fractions". In the same way, your now 1-hour task would take you something like half a decimal hour instead, or 50 decimal minutes, and you wouldn't even think about it.
This is a very naive statement. Sure there are a handful of good companies that enable every single compiler warning, and fix those warnings, and then run the code through Coverity, and fix all those problems too. Almost no one else does. The amount of terrible C in the real world is enormous.

'We are Sthlm' was not judged newsworthy until the Cologne stuff. Now every potential groping at every festival is newsworthy, to the point where it's getting ridiculous.

And are you telling me the police literally has a code that singles out EVERY migrant related incident in their system? And that this would supposedly hide it from someone? Obviously that has worked out swimmingly and they really thought it would be 'secret'. Heck, coverup central DN has the very story being quoted on the Norwegian wiki article for Kode 291. Reading your replies in this thread I can understand why they'd want to keep stuff back at least until the situation settles.

Code 291, the fighting at asylum seeker housing, migrants raping migrants, the high costs of taking care of the migrants and so on... all of it has been reported on extensively in the mainstream media, heck, it's even been reported on extensively by SVT and SR.

You can literally live in the SVT/SR media bubble and know about all this.
>> You can't just take Aristotle and Euclid and claim that they offer all of the keys to our modern civilization. Some - definetly.

I won't really contest this. Yes, Greece is today and has been for the last few hundreds of years an intellectual backwater. That's the course of history, right? We've had our five thousand ish years of dominance. Who can ask for more?

I also agree that many other cultures laid the ground for the Greek civilisation- the ancient Greeks themselves liked to say their civilisation came from Egypt.

I say in another post that we should be really speaking of a human civilisation (and thank whatever deities, or blind luck, that we have it). Civilisation does not stop at national borders, fortunately.

Also: big pinch of salt; I did say that at the very beginning.

Still, I'd like it to be remembered that one particular people was very influential and went down in history not because they slaughtered thousands or millions, but because they produced a lot of knowledge.

I'm proud of this as a Greek but we should all be, it's our shared heritage and we must remember that we are at our best when we build, not when we destroy.
The Greeks call Romans 'barbarians' because they are culturally bereft.

It's the same reason Liberals might call Conservatives 'barbarians' or France might call Germany 'barbarians'.

I.E. The Greeks saw themselves as superior, culturally.

But the Romans were not actually barbarians.

The Germans were actually barbarians.

Given the low employment and high dependence on government subsidies it is hardly surprising that the majority of votes in these areas goes to those parties which are least likely to reduce those subsidies. In that respect these areas do not differ from other areas with low employment, even though some of those who traditionally would have voted for S (social democratic party) now vote for SD (Sweden democrats). Even that is not really surprising, given that the party program for SD is in many ways comparable to that of the social democratic party in the '50s and '60s, including the rhetoric about the virtues of a homogeneous society.

"It always works as you expect? Really?"

Well, it works as defined in standards. It's just not every programmer knows what to expect. C is simple, yet powerful language and with powers comes responsibility. It's not like you can throw some libraries/modules/objects (or whatever it is in other, safe languages) together, upload to server and call it a day -- static testing, debugging, unit testing is a vital part of any semi serious C project.
It seems to be possible:

I played around with getting a Rust kernel module to work before. And I eventually got a "hello world" in my dmesg. But what I realized in so doing was that seemingly 90% of the higher level features of Rust were lost to my module -- essentially I got the language memory security features (borrowing and ownership) but with very little standard library help, which made the whole endeavour seem much less practical still than just using C and libc (because I would have to reimplement a lot of that functionality in Rust -- Kernel Rust, if you will).

I think if the Rust communtiy wants to make it somehow to the Linux (or other UNIX or windows) Kernel space, there needs to be an effort to build Kernel Rust, if there isn't one already..
That's the whole point of forward secrecy. For the one session you use a temporary key which can't be recovered later. You can only decrypt the stream if you store that key.

Wow, I thought Amsterdam's new metro line (Noord/Zuidlijn) was extremely expensive because it's way over budget, Amsterdam was built in a swamp and there was damage to rows of houses etc.

But it's 9.7km, originally planned at 680 million euro, now estimated at 3.1 billion euro (project started in 2009, currently expected to be completed in 2018). That works out to $360m/km or so, not that bad compared to the worldwide average.
"(So space is measured by time.)"

Using the SI units of metres and seconds applies a coordinate system on spacetime. One can take a coordinate interval using that, but careful observation shows that the coordinate system cannot be applied at all scales or agreed upon by all users.

In SI terms, the rate of the cycles of hyperfine structure transition frequency of Cs-133 atoms is strictly local to the atoms themselves, and non-local observers will see that rate only if their local Lorentz frame has the same velocity as the atom's, and they are on the same gravitational potential.

As we are not massless inhabitants of a Minkowski vacuum, errors accumulate with coordinate distance from the atom used as a source of frequency, and are observable with laboratory equipment at ranges of metres, and are already wholly non-negligible for practical applications (e.g. GNSS) at ranges comparable to the radius of the Earth and velocities comparable to the speed of sound at STP.

Sadly, SI predates modern conceptions of 3+1 spacetime and has not really adapted to what we know of our physical spacetime's properties.

I think that's more parochial than the base ten issue, personally. :-)

I match your iPhone 3GS and raise an 3G. That thing had last iOS release 4.x, which made it unusable and I was scrambling to return it to 3.x. It wasn't capable to download anything from Apple Store for years. It still works as a phone though, also most of the built-in apps work, (except for syncing with Google account, since Google disabled ActiveSync support).

What a difference one year of device age can make.

To repeat what Eric said, I'm not "going after" anybody, particularly not the employees. They didn't like their working conditions, so they quit. Absolutely nothing wrong with what they did. My original post was mainly driven by confusion: many commenters talked about their yearly salary as though it is abnormally low. Hence my confusion about why these programmers would accept a job with an abnormally low salary.

Regarding immoral behavior on the part of the employer: I still don't buy that either. Someone can be a bad employer (ie, one that i would never want to work for), and still be perfectly morally upstanding. If someone, in a competitive labor marketplace, takes on a job which has low pay, I don't think they can accuse their employer of immoral behavior because of low pay. Such accusations should be saved for those scums that pull a bait-and-switch and refuse to honor their promises.

If they just store traffic and can decrypt it afterwards with the private key that they likely already protect with very high security, I think that's better than having to log traffic and all the session keys which need to be protected in the same manner as the private key...

I agree that his message was a rational argument. The dismissive response was disappointing, however.

Ultimately, the conflict of interest here is created by the fact that not everyone wants the same set of security properties. (Rhetorical question: does everyone want DRM? It's "more secure"!) The important thing to keep in mind whenever reading about security is what it secures against. It is not unreasonable that banks want to audit the data that flows through their network, in the same way that I should also have a right to inspect the data my devices are communicating on my network. The example I like to remember is the smart TV that phones home with viewing info --- discovered because it was doing it in plaintext.

Rationale: We're trying to build a more secure internet.

Phrases like this rather bother me because it assumes everyone wants the same security properties, which is clearly not the case given this example. "more secure" against what? "secure everything against everything else" seems like a popular attitude recently, and I think it does more harm than good.

Relatedly, it's already hard enough with many "smart devices" that aren't full PCs to add your own CA and do MITM; I can't imagine logging session keys to be any easier if even feasible.

I'm with the banks on this one.

Thanks for this- I'm not very well aware of the history of music. I was aware of the work of the Pythagoreans on music, but didn't realise it actually influenced anything.

Also, it's funny because what we consider "Greek" music nowadays is in the Eastern canon, influenced by the music of the Ottomans and the Near East in general (For example, see [1], a traditional Turkish song given Greek verse and performed in Greece since the 1930s at least). I myself play the Ney [2] and the toubeleki (darbuka [3]), and consider them both "traditional" or "folk", like most of my friends.
