If she was doing it in an open office for everyone to see? Probably, yeah.

I wouldn't say anything, obviously, but I definitely wouldn't be as comfortable with it as I would, say, a sneeze.

I'm sure my female coworkers wouldn't mind vigorous nutsack scratching out in the open for all to see would they? It also is a perfectly natural activity and often necessary.

But hey, I also get annoyed at people who chew loudly.

The dilemma boils down to: people often find people's bodily functions discomforting. Where is the line for propriety? We somewhat allow nose picking. We don't like butt scratching. Occasional burps are fine, loud farts are wrong. Pooping anywhere but the toilet is gross, peeing on the side of the road is sometimes okay. Eating in publi is fine, chewing with your mouth open is not. Somewhere on this spectrum is breast feeding and breast pumps.
That doesn't work for me. I can do `!syear` or `!gyear` to filter on Google or Start Page, but not with DDG results.
> followed by the incoherent position that foreign spying is only acceptable when the citizenry of the foreign target agrees with it.

Foreign spying on citizens of another country is not ok, period.

Domestic wiretaps/monitoring and so on are acceptable if and only if a judge signs off on it.

Governments spying on each other is acceptable as long as it does not devolve into spying on the rest of the citizens of that country wholesale.

In other words: ordinary citizens should be left alone, if you decide to join the government you're raising the stakes and you should be aware that you will become a 'person of interest' for many other parties.

I hope this clear up my position in a way that there is no room for mis-interpretation.

I'm sure EU governments spy on each other and I'm also sure that EU government officials are aware of this particular fact if only because they themselves are also engaging in it, so nothing of value was communicated with that particular example.
It's 9:58am PST in California and Twitter is still down.
It's complex... Belgium is divided into two major regions: Flandern and Wallonia. Flandern speaks Dutch and Wallonia speaks French. Initially, Wallonia didn't want to share its riches with the poor Flemish, wich meant a strong separation between them, but now it's the other way around. Basically, Belgium is two countries pretending to be one. It's one of many ways in which Belgium is messed up politically.

Fun (sad) fact: Belgium has the most national politicians per capita in the world.

Fun (sad) fact 2: Belgium holds the record for longest period without a government, with Iraq in second place. 589 days. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010%E2%80%9311_Belgian_govern...)

If you read the report linked from the bugzilla, you will read:

One of the methods that Comodo uses to validate that a certificate applicant
owns or controls a domain to be included in the subjectAlternativeName of a
server authentication certificate is set out in the CA/B Forum's Baseline
Requirements document [2] at section 3.2.2.4.2.

That method may be summarized as the sending of an email to an email address
(and obtaining a confirming response) where the email is identified as
belonging to the Domain Name Registrant, technical contact, or
administrative contract as listed in the WHOIS record of the domain.

So the Browser (Google Mozilla Microsoft) and the CA (Comodo Symantec LE) industry working group agreed that was acceptable.
It is because people feel close of these kind of news because it can happen to them.

The change in JS isn't "out with the old, in with the new"...it's just "in with the new". There are more choices than ever before, because you can build about 100x the kinds of apps that you could have before with JavaScript. Prior to 2009, JavaScript was pretty much only good for web applications. Now, you can build servers, embedded devices, native applications for every platform imaginable, you name it. Pretty much anything that can be built, can be built with JavaScript.
That's a whole nother topic. CICO isn't as important as where you get those calories from. If a majority are from sugar, you are getting way too much insulin which then creates fat in the body. If you get fibrous and fatty calories, it takes more energy to break them down and store them thus leading to healthier fat/muscle.

Better yet, have one day a year that is "Red Team Day" where people hunt for vulnerabilities so that assessments can be done, and companies can later fix any issues noted. Like how earlier this week there was a statewide earthquake drill in California, local emergency sirens were sounded, schoolkids practiced hiding under desks, etc. The Internet needs periodic tests like that too.

Windows 10 has been the worst desktop experience I have ever encountered. From day 1 I have had driver issues, forced updates, no matter how I configure the time zone resets to GMT (which is great because it uses 3am as a time to restart and force installing updates). To say nothing if the awful UI. I had none of these issues with Ubuntu and I paid Microsoft for this headache so I could play games. I can't wait for more AAA Linux support, please take it home Valve.

Yeah, ProtonMail was the other one I considered, but the price for storage wasn't nearly as compelling, and both had reasonably strong privacy stories. And now that I'm in FastMail, I'm really amazed at the flexibility and control it gives you, especially with connecting your own domain and stuff.

Back in the day, Gmail's driving appeal was it's pro features, and I'd argue that FastMail makes Gmail look basic. Also, I've opened two support tickets this week to ask questions and got responses within an hour or two.
I disagree that anything is better. They're incrementally keeping up with technology. In fact, from my perspective, it feels like they hold us all back by leveraging their hold on offices.

> If you want to drive across the border to buy butter and bring it back, be prepared to answer a lot of questions to the CBSA, and possibly pay more tariffs, making it prohibitively expensive.

My father does a lot of cross-border shopping at an American Costco (BC -> Washington). Among other groceries, he always buys butter, cheese, milk, and often brings back various second-hand/electronic goods shipped to a US PO box.

Canadian border guards almost never ask him stupid questions - and I don't believe he's ever been interrogated about dairy products in particular.

It might help that he:

1. Has his role in typical and atypical border-control conversations memorized.

2. Looks like a cave man who hasn't shaved in a decade.

No the problem is that we centralized trust instead of designing a distributed trust model. I suspect we centralized trust at the encouragement of folks like the NSA and similar ilk.

If you enjoyed Black Mirror you have to watch Utopia by Channel 4 in the UK. It's remarkable. Don't search for a synopsis online. It's a sci-fi conspiracy thriller like none you'll have ever seen before.

This is an imdb review that echoed my sentiments:

"First of, I made an account at IMDb solely so that I could submit this review.

Utopia is exceptional. It is a masterpiece. It gets 10\10 from me.

I won't explain what Utopia is about because I don't want to give any possible hint of what is to come, so I'll describe it by comparing it to other things.

Buy the DVD or download the show and your life will get.... stranger. Its rather unsettling how Utopia gets under your skin.

There are a few television shows that share some similarity to Utopia.

For example, if you enjoyed Fringe, the X-Files, then you'll be quite at home with Utopia's paranoid wanderings.

So then you cross the weirdness of Fringe and the paranoia of the X-Files with the violence of Kill Bill and the action\suspense of the Jason Bourne series.

Now cross that already bizarre hybrid with a series of scientific TED Talks given by Joesph Mengale, yes, the Nazi who chopped countless pairs of twins to pieces for the greater good.

I'm not sure which is more bizarre. That description or that incredibly, it works.

However Utopia is much, much darker than any of those. It is the darkest TV series I have ever seen. It also as others have said, feels very real.

A note of warning. When I said Utopia was dark, I was not joking. If you suffer from excessive anxiety or you're squeamish, then do not watch Utopia. Because this TV show is nothing like you've ever seen before, it will affect you. You will be thinking about the themes in it long after you've watched it.

The violence in Utopia isn't actually that strong at all, most of it occurs off the screen. But the intense atmosphere of paranoia which accompanies it makes it brutally real.

On the other hand since the governments of the world have apparently taken a leaf out of Utopia's manuscript lately with regard to surveillance, Utopia could well seem prophetic in a few years time. This really is a TV series for 21st century of flying killer robots and universal surveillance.

The Sopranos changed the way I thought about television. I thought television was for lightweights until I watched The Sopranos. It was like thinking books were mostly about erotica and then coming across Shakespeare and entering a world full of subtle complexities on a bunch of levels.

Utopia is nothing like The Sopranos. But the way it'll change how you view television is very similar.

Just one last thing. There is an American show called "Person of Interest" or something like that which has similar themes. Watch this instead.

In a word: this is intense. "

It also has one of the strangest soundtracks you'll ever hear. Listen to this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2f6MfEzhvo

Warning: Do not watch if you are especially prone to paranoia, depression or anxiety.
Yeah, totally. There are some good Canadian cheeses but for the most part the local dairies seem focused on producing large quantities of cheddar. I'd love to be able to buy more European cheeses at a decent price.
All will break the moment that one of the websites that you access makes a server-side request to another website ( think about logging-services, server-clusters, database servers, etc - they all either have IPs or most-likely some domains. )
Assuming you're referring specifically to targeting media companies reporting on the results and not the electric grid like someone else mentioned, wouldn't they have to DDoS Google itself for that to work? I don't really see a DDoS of Google being effective.
Good! (You should be, esp. if you are the hardware side! I had two unbreakable ones that didn't drive me crazy like my Macbook pro. My comments below are supposed to be read with that in mind. :-)

A little feedback if you want:

Speaking of hardware my two last have been remarkably good (lasting 5+ years). Fan was loud though.

Software has partially been a mess. Esp. the power management driver on my 2012 elite book who could block the entire system for up to a 100ms meaning once every 30 seconds. (Yes, disabled service by service until I found the culprit, then checked and double checked and then made some colleagues happy by uninstalling for them as well.)

>The shares surged as much as 5.6 percent to a record $60.45. The last time Microsoft was trading near that level was in 1999.

Using share price is suboptimal because the number of shares outstanding has decreased significantly since 1999. Better to use market cap (which is share price times the number of shares outstanding).

(According to wikipedia) Microsoft reached a market cap of $618.9 billion in December 1999, which is $879 billion in 2015 dollars. In contrast, Microsoft's market cap today is significantly less, namely, $447.5 billion.

BTW, in Feb 2015, Apple reached a market cap of $775 billion. Since the computing industry's share of the economy was significantly lower in 1999 than it was in 2015, the data on market caps suggests that the 1999 version of Microsoft was significantly more dominant over the industry than the 2015 version of Apple was.

They and their associates' work covers verified runtimes, HOL, extraction mechanisms, etc.

https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mom22/research.html

Just port Milawa to run on multiple architectures with separate CPU's or implementations from multiple vendors. Include verified, VAMP processor on two FPGA's. Check Milawa itself then check the software in FOL until HOL is done. I have a paper somewhere on HOL-to-FOL converter, too. :)

Note: I've seen a bunch of things implemented in Prolog. I figure it could be modified to execute the program and produce an execution trace of its logic that could be run through Milawa. Not specialist enough to say. A prior, certified compiler for Pascal-like language was specified in Z shown equivalent to Prolog functions. So, there's potential here.

Long running projects in JavaScript may not be that long really. If you leave any codebase for a couple years, things would have changed so drastically, new devs may not even recognize the code. An year old JS project may be using React, a 2-year-old project could be using Angular, a 4-year old project might be using Backbone, a 6-year-old could have $("#el").bind() all over while 8 year-old project could have been in Prototype.js.

> For example angular 2 is not compatible with angular 1, so before you even learn a framework its API is different and when you finally learn it, probably is considered outdated

Angular 1 has been released in 2010 and Angular 2 in 2016. Obviously, if you started to learn Angular 1 last year it can be frustrating (specially with Angular, it's not the easiest framework to learn out there [1] [2] ). But I would say the majority of Angular developers has used it for 3 or 4 years now and most of them probably enjoy to have the chance to learn a new modern framework that fixes the design issues of the first version.

To generalize: The front-end world is surely overwhelming for the new comers (but is it not the same in all the other fields of programming?). However, after some years into it, you realize that you have mostly sticked to the same tools for years. [3]

In business school (I know, shudder, I went to biz school), there's a pretty textbook formula of "[Product/Service] does [what's unique about the product/service] to [competitive advantage/how it's solving the problem]." It's simple, but it's actually much harder to do than you'd think. When you nail it, it's incredibly compelling.

After you build a draft, you have to ask, "Is anyone out there already saying this? Do they have our [what's unique] or [how it's problem solving]? If so, you need to either keep workshopping and thinking about what's truly unique to your product, and if the problem you're trying to solve is 1) actually a problem or 2) a thought-out solution.

If you're really struggling to answer those questions or come up with a unique statement, it's a good indicator that your product/concept may not be viable.

No new breakthroughs in formal proofs or deriving programs, just incremental progress. The cost of formal methods stays high. The high cost means that it does not work well with iterative programming, or changes in specs.

So far only some military and safety critical applications and parts of Intel's silicon have been worth of the cost.

I took my first course in formal methods using the book Programming: The Derivation of Algorithms by A. Kaldewaij. It would be perfectly reasonable to implement something similar to Kaldewaij's guarded programming language today over some other programming language and use it to derive formally proven programs if someone really values the correctness. It would be also cool and fun but not for everyone.

We _just_ started using React, primarily for it's server side rendering support in .NET with Reactjs.net. Works really well and the React mindset feels great.

Coming from Angular 1 though, Vue has a lot of appeal. Is there any support for SSR in .Net, or anything in the pipeline? I've not been able to find anything.
Yeah, as if a "spare DNS" has anything to do with solving the problem. You could get into your own infrastructure, but your customers are still screwed.
I had no idea that I would see this parallel as well when I started reading this article.

I'm in a similar situation at my current job, we've got a few guys that want to go really crazy with OOP concepts (design patterns, going overboard with new technologies) from the first sign of a new issue/feature.

It really causes a lot of problems though, when your business requirements change (or you encounter an edge case) and you need to redesign the entire codebase to account for it. They are literally grinding everything to a halt with this stuff, and I think their issues arise from a need to categorize everything in the codebase prematurely, before the solution has "evolved".

Thoughts?

Swizec, you're disappointing me with these comments. It's maybe related to how your culture views these things but women breastfeeding in public is (and should be) perfectly normal anywhere and if it makes you feel uncomfortable then I suggest the problem is on your end.

As for you scratching yourself: that is not something for which there are no alternative options, however, breastfeeding a newborn happens frequently and has to happen when it does and no amount of discomfort on your end will change the fact that it is as normal as you eating a sandwich or drinking a glass of milk.

If a woman is doing it 'in an open office for everyone to see' it may mean that your society is more accepting than you think, or that no more suitable alternative was available. If the lady is comfortable with it and you're not you could simply ignore them?
