The telecoms already have that type of data that could be leaked to an extent. In 2013 British Telecom enabled porn filtering [1] that was on by default, so when setting up your account you'd have to opt out.

> On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

> Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

In particular, it ought to be intellectually interesting, not just emotionally compelling.

After looking at swagger (including openAPI in this), api-blueprint [1] and RAML, I've settled on api blueprint for writing documentation and even testing since it allows you to generate JSON schema from the structures you build up.

It does need a touch more work to allow re-usable fragments in get arguments and a couple of other areas, but it's certainly good enough for documenting and basic testing. There's still active development from apiary as far as I can tell and the MSOn syntax is really simple to become productive with.

I think any law is bound to be wrong in too many cases: If you lower the bar to 16 I'll certainly find a 17 year old that isn't ~stable~ enough for some content and the problem persists: Parents, individuals, have to protect their kids based on intimate knowledge about the persons, on a case to case basis.

About the clueless parents: I don't feel that there's a pressing need either. First: Lots of parents of small kids (a growing number, the majority soon if not already) probably already grew up with the internet. There's a gap, I agree that a generation of parents that didn't use the internet as a kid exists.

But I reason that protecting your kid is first and foremost media agnostic. You talk about stuff you might see on tv, you don't just give them the remote and hope that your receiver blocks content and asks for a pin whenever something scary comes up - or you're lazy. The same applies for the internet: You talk to your kids, about the very same things. Violence, sexuality, consensus, morality. And try to make them feel safe so that they'll talk with you about anything disturbing they encounter.

Parents don't need to understand the internet (but it might help). The internet has nothing new to offer - porn isn't a new thing. You didn't need to understand how your kid got access to these filthy VHS tapes 30 years ago and still were responsible for your child.

I feel that technology cannot be used as an excuse here, a la "I don't understand this newfangled gadget, someone else tell my kids how to live this life".

This is less of a problem if there are more than two established parties that can expect to get the vast majority of the votes. With multiple real choices, smaller parties don't have to be "fringe".
How is it inconvenient to get an ID?
>"Rigged" means a coordinated and malicious manipulation - this is something that before Trump no one had claimed (the GOP or otherwise).

There were (and still are) wide spread claims that Republicans outright stole the results of the 2004 election in Ohio, going all the way to John Kerry himself.

http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/12/21/negotiating-the...

Refusing to accept election losses has been a hallmark of Democrats in the last 20 years. They refuse to accept the 2000 election, said that Republicans stole the state of OH in 2004, and even now claim that the current Republican majorities in both the House and Senate are the result of "gerrymandering."
In Europe, the state _is_ responsible for their people; this is how it's been for a long while. Don't get me wrong, I'm seriously against regulation like this because the line of what counts as (porn|extreme|violent|whatever) is too blurry and is too easy to be used to censor whatever the state declares unhealthy, and this is not good.

/going rather offtopic afterwards

What's also not good is how ugly the internet became. Even in the 90s it was rather easy to stumble upon unexpected material; a prime example would be if you'd searched "Spice Girls" somewhere in ~1996 on Altavista - the results were definitely not showing the pop band.

I'm well aware how formerly extreme things, like in fashion or in porn is slowly merging into the mainstream, and so the dark pits of the internet are becoming more accepted. It's also true that bullying, tweet wars, doxing, etc, due to the lack of critical mass of internet users, were not present, and that they are actual, existing issues which should be addressed, but no one knows, how.

So no, I'm seriously against a porn database; it's not helping anything, not solving any real problems. The "protect the children" is bullshit; I'm guessing many who are supporting the idea would get a heart attack should they learn how aware "kids" are compared to them, and this is not just due to the internet. These people are the same by the way who grew up in the 70s...

Anyway, there are problems which needs attention and regulations, but that's not porn.

The problem isn't requiring an ID per se, but the requirements for obtaining such an ID: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_ID_laws_in_the_United_St...

For example:

It's interesting that viral/bacterial/fungal infections may be attributed to Alzheimer's - although undemocratically so, I still suspect prions as a culprit.

Whether such suspicions are valid or not, prions are very easy to be fascinated by, and it's a great lecture, IMO:

I read that Snopes article this morning, and the thing is, those criticisms don't apply to this new PVA video. Especially so in the second part that was released today, the clips are not at all edited together or taken out of context. Scott Foval essentially has an extended conversation with the undercover reporter in which he lays bare the criminal conspiracy that his organization is attempting to concoct.
Indeed.

I happen to have on my shelves Jon Bentley's More Programming Pearls. In the chapter "Bumper Sticker Computer Science" is the passage

You mean, if I believe my own eyes and ears rather than someone insulting me on the internet? You're funny.

If someone can't be bothered to obtain an ID to vote, possibly they shouldn't be voting at all. Civic responsibility is not an inconvenience, it's what keeps civilization running. Taking a few moments out of your daily routine to be informed and choose your government is the least one should expect.
I'm reading this on Wikipedia:

> Several plants contain serotonin [...] These compounds do reach the brain, although some portion of them are metabolized by monoamine oxidase enzymes (mainly MAO-A) in the liver.

This makes me wonder: will people with a homozygous defect in the MAO-A gene (quite a large percentage of the population) end up with the problem that lots of endogenous serotonin may reach the brain?
He is obviously pro-Trump (me too btw), but there seem to be proven links between some of the people shown in the videos and HRC's campaign.

Notably Zulema Rodriguez who bragged that she took part in inciting the Chicago protest has received payments from the Clinton campaign a few days before the protests (listed on the FEC website - link: https://beta.fec.gov/data/disbursements/?two_year_transactio... )

What's also interesting is that most people shown in the videos are contributors to Huffington Post and some of them switch between sometimes being a contributor and sometimes being mentioned as "activist" with a fake name. Aaron Black wrote one article as a Catholic priest and another one as a gay man suffering from AIDS. (I get the impression that Huffington Post and really most of the media just makes up stories or that they are being played)

Getting an ID takes time and money. To get such an ID, you have to go through institutions like the DMV which do not have convenient opening hours or are in inconvenient locations.
Many people, especially poor people, cannot afford to take the time to jump through the hoops to get an ID - and this is explicitly intended by those who write such voter ID laws. There have been several instances where conversations were leaked that revealed the purpose behind voter ID laws being not fraud prevention (which is overkill anyway) but keeping Democrat-leaning groups from voting.

Then again, your main source is Project Veritas, which despite the name is spearheaded by convicted fraudster James O'Keefe. His MO is to lie and deceive to advance his ultra-conservative cause, so anything that comes from him is to be taken with a HUGE grain of salt.
Of course, even he might stumble upon something real, but so far his videos have always been edited to show what he wants, instead of reality.

We are targeting existing chat bots. The idea is for these bots to be able to capture feedback from their users without having to build the whole backend to track, analyze and understand the feedback that they are getting.
I agree. I had a conversation last night trying to remember if any other time in recent history was this bad. GWB was compared to Hitler quite a lot on the fringe and MSNBC, and Obama had the whole muslim/birther thing on the other fringe and FOX, but on whole most people were pretty level headed.

I wonder if social media, where you gain followers with extreme comments, has led to this? My FB feed is story after story of either Trump will launch nukes his first day in office or the terrorist will take out the US on Clintons first day. The hyperbole just drowns out any rational argument.
The feasibility of voter fraud is not a potential flaw in an election?
Okay, so... your first mistake was watching the Project Veritas videos, and your second mistake was believing them.

In the US, there is no federally-issued photo ID. The most common ID is a state-issued driver's license, but not everyone is licensed to drive. States can issue photo ID cards which can be used in voting, but not everyone has one, they cost money, and can be difficult to obtain.

I live in North Carolina. Our voter ID law was recently struck down by a federal court as being clearly intended to disenfranchise minority voters. Here's an explanation:

There does not have to be truth for people to decide to fall upon their swords to avoid any suggestion of a scandal. Given how apparently gullible people are the simple fact is that whether it is true or not does not matter, nor does the actual context in which the conversations occurred. If you worked for a campaign and I had a bar conversation with you about how voting fraud might happen and then only saved/broadcasted the part after your initial "we do everything we can to prevent it, but if you were to ask me how it could happen given existing safeguards then..." bit of the conversation then I would expect to read about you getting fired or quitting the next day as well.

To examine the validity of the video we would actually need all of it, but that is not the point for O'Keefe. His goal is to maintain his street cred with the trumpistas and ratfucking part of the community that might keep paying him after having fallen so far with his last few failed attempts. Given the source and this source's history of manipulating videotaped conversations on multiple occasions to create a narrative that does not match what actually happened, it is smarter to start assuming the videos are a lie and asking for proof that this is not another case of misleading edits. Show me the whole tape or I will assume O'Keefe is telling lies again.

You say this as if there isn't a widespread base of consumers who don't want to tinker, don't want to upgrade and don't want to assemble and the only problem is manufacturers don't want to make modular phones.

Frankly a modular phone sounds godawful. I work all week and build stuff in my spare time, I don't want yet another thing I need to maintain and that's why I have an iPhone.

There's no reason we can't have proper disposal methods and environmentally sound manufacturing -AND- have single-piece prebuilt devices. I'd argue that making stuff modular wouldn't even solve that problem in the first place, you'd just have piles and piles of PIECES of phones instead of piles and piles of phones.
> of the 60-odd percent of people who had to change their vote between two rounds, only 1% decided to go full-fascist

Nearsighted statement that completely occult the massive fear-mongering political and media propaganda that happened during the two election rounds.

> The only reason the National Front is ahead today is because of a massive, 10 year "de-demonization" process, that went up to full exclusion of the former parter leader.

Another sign of nearsightedness. The reasons the FN is so popular nowadays have a lot more to do with the Calais jungle, the recent murder of a priest, the beheading of a business man, the recent vote on life insurance and CODEVIs barring owners to cash their policies/accounts "if the circumstances permit it" (Sapin 2 law), the other vote setting a limit on how much people can expect to be saved in the event of a bank crash (EUR 100,000, cumulative over several accounts), the constant deployment of military in the country, the numerous wars (Libya, Mali, Syria, ...), the fact that migrants are given priority over French citizen for social housing, ... I could go on all day.

It's such a fallacy to call for the devil while shunning from public discussion all the problems that lower and middle class citizens are living every day. The same thing happened during the Brexit votation. The same thing is happening in the US with Trump. It's probably a sign of our time where so-called "liberal intellectuals" would resort to fear-mongering rather than address actual issues and risk jeopardizing their own social situations.

PS: In a famous interview, former socialist prime minister Lionel Jospin clearly stated that there never was a fascist menace in France and that "demonizing" the FN was a ploy from President Mitterrand to divert the attention of the people from the waves of privatizations that the socialist government undertook in the mid-80s.

But do they have a record of the reason you disabled it or did they just change a flag and lump you in with everyone else?

A bit more paranoid. If they do this tracking for porn, maybe in the future they add other types of content they want to track. I know it sounds silly but it's not like the data is going to go away and likely will only ever increase the amount of tracking. Sadly I know many people who see no issue with this.

In this case, every site they can identify.

Broadly, UK law is restricted to UK companies for material which is illegal to post. So libelous sites hosted outside the country aren't censored, because the libel isn't 'located' in the UK (yes, this is a tortured analysis).

But the UK has more recently established a China-style firewall that restricts access to sites hosted anywhere, based on where you view from. Originally, it was implemented to block access to torrent sites. And of course, at the time everyone swore "it's just the torrent sites, there will never be a slippery slope!"

But now it would age-gate pornography viewed from any UK IP address. Well, the content they can find anyway - they'll have to either run a blacklist (catching only large, paid sites) or a blocking filter with a whitelist (blocking all kinds of legitimate content - usually this ends up blocking sexual health sites). And yes, Tumblr is hopeless, there's really no way to know what a given page will have on it.

So it's the authoritarian, cut-off-access bit, but it still won't work.
The clips are edited together, though. That was my first thought when watching the video. There are a lot of cuts. I get that it might just be for time, to show only the most relevant stuff. But it may also be to make it look worse than it is. Without the full conversation, we can't know.
It's the illusion of choice: Choice where it doesn't matter, no choice where it does.
That isn't a problem; the impact of your vote is inherent in the ranking, so lower preferences are automatically "worth less" than higher ones. I don't see a particular pattern that would allow for manipulation. AFAIK it's fairly resistant to tactical voting and manipulation by withdrawal.

Yeah, CSLA is:

1) Designed for big projects
2) Easy to screw up without lots of experience

The fact that big projects require many developers means those developers rarely have the experience necessary (with CSLA - even an experienced .NET developer is at a disadvantage) to architect it properly, and so it becomes a maintenance nightmare.

It's instructive (for business app developers, anyway) to read Rocky Lhotka's book in order to understand what problems he was trying to solve with CSLA, but it's not really worth using the framework...
I don't disagree, but it's not a double standard to be more irritated by apps that get in your face and drain additional resources.
