Well, from an American perspective, a "well-cultured society" does not invade another's embassy and take hostages. No matter how adversarial a relationship becomes, diplomats and embassy/consulate staffers have always been considered off limits, as long as they depart promptly and peaceably if diplomatic relations are severed (or individuals if declared persona non grata). Even in the darkest days of the Cold War, safety of diplomatic personnel was respected between adversaries

This is a bit dated now (but I imagine that most of the travel barriers into Iran for Americans still apply), but the film "In the Footsteps of Marco Polo"[0] has an interesting firsthand account of two Americans seeking to retrace Marco Polo's route (including Iranian territory) by ground and sea travel alone. Their added adventure in seeking visas from IRI consulates makes for an interesting story in itself (to say any more would be a spoiler). It's well worth watching. For Americans: it often pops up on local PBS affiliates.

In general, those Americans who have toured Iran by whatever mechanism seem to report nothing but positive experiences with the Iranian people. (Rick Steves had a few segments on travel in Iran, for example). And again, see the Marco Polo film before I babble more and spoil it.
The update for Noscript last week fixed this issue.
I haven't experienced that effect myself, but i don't have a rig. I can't help but think of waking up from really intense dreams. Perhaps like those fever dreams when a little bit sick. My mind accepts the reality it's making up, and it's very intense. Perhaps fun, perhaps frightening as the generation drifts over to nightmare territory.

I understand what others are saying about books, but really vivid dreams seem like a closer match. You can't control a book, in a dream there's still some agency, some action that can change everything.

Step 3: did I mention be attractive yet?
Step 4: and I suppose being altruistic can help you have many sexual partners. As long as you've followed steps 1 to 3.

Thanks for such a helpful and detailed response; I really appreciate it and I bet I'm not the only one.
Hah, I just finished House of Leaves based on a recommendation from a friend, and I totally understand. I didn't really enjoy the book, but it was so pervasively creepy I had a hard time reading it, and often felt extremely uncomfortable at home alone after a reading session.

IRC is not a messenger-type thing; it's not a local client, it never had a system-wide single handle - you had to register on each network, if it was possible at all.

The typing and receiving may be similar, but the approach is different.

Ok, seriously, give me a break with this "Trump won, the sky is falling". There may well be a lot of things that Trump would be worse than Hillary might have been on (maybe...), but for crying out loud, she would have been just as bad, if not worse, on a surveillance state.
Bitter Harvest: Cassava and Konzo, the Crippling Disease
Telemetry was aadded to Windows 7 around Aug 2015, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10110155. With a bit of effort, most of the update KBs can be identified and manually removed. It's still a pain though, because there are many sites with conflicting claims about which updates can be removed safely. I also found at least one update that reinstalls itself after removal.

Since then, Microsoft has moved to monthly updates which combine security fixes + functional changes. If you want only security fixes, you need to disable automatic updates and download a separate security-only monthly rollup.

It's a shame, but we're approaching the point where we will need to whitelist all outbound traffic using a firewall that is external to the operating system. Anything that isn't whitelisted should be blocked, logged and audited. Someone should start a VPN service that blocks Microsoft, Google and Apple telemetry. If we had regulators, telemetry could be forced to use stable domain names to enable network filtering, and telemetry traffic would be unbundled from application traffic.

would be interesting to develop a gluing agent to convert local gravel into a concrete like material that could be formed like Hescos but in thinner, taller L shapes for the purpose of erecting barriers as in the article.

I agree, indeed we choose our own sources. However, the sentiment of my statement was to point out that it is peculiar that an empire as vast and influential as the Persian Empire is not treated like the Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians in mainstream history education.
That isn't very surprising you win a war by controlling territory which is why boots on the ground are always needed to win an actual war, to control a territory you need fortifications.

A properly fortified base can take pretty much any conventional artillery fire for weeks without taking any real damage and unless there is an all out assault you can hold out as long as you have food and water, ammo might not even be that important as long as the enemy doesn't know that and or is incapable of scaling the fortifications.

Even when we'll be fighting on Mars and the jovian moons you'll still will have grunts digging trenches unless for some reason the war is going to transform to purely strategic weapons in which case it's usually the side that either has more or strikes first who would win.
Brilliant. I'd love to see a way to embed the timers on a webpage.
I'll probably skip on UiKit. In a cursory, five-minute tryout of various components I found three errors (using latest Chrome on OSX, version 54.0.2840.98).

Here's a description of the problems I found: http://imgur.com/a/XSo5T

The point here isn't to nitpick. But I've found three problems after the most basic review. That doesn't give me much confidence in quality of the codebase. If I commit to using this in a large project, spending 40+ hours with UiKit, how many more problems will I find? (And, ultimately have to fix).

It's true that LG Korea is a big part of it, the same way Toyota was a big part of the Prism, but on the other hand this is par for the course of how cars are made these days. The engineers at GM work closely with engineers at their suppliers to develop a system. They likely share a lot of trade secrets. They generally do not try to eat each other's lunch after collaborating on a platform.
No worries, I thought the double meaning was at least somewhat amusing :)

that's a good chip and with a decent cooler you can get some good (and free) speed ups with overclocking. The chip also has TSX which could be fun to experiment with when doing multithreaded programming.

How to Live (Comfortably) on $36 a Month for Food
Which reminds me - another thing we learned is that too much chaos can be easier on a distributed system than less chaos.

One of the robustness suites tries as hard as it can to permanently destroy a Neo4j cluster, looking for things like distributed deadlocks, faults in the leader election, data inconsistencies between replicas and so on.

It does that by applying a randomized load of all operations the system supports; reads, writes and schema changes. That's then combined with induced hardware faults and "regular" operational restarts and cluster configuration changes.

The problem was that, early on, the test would actually create unresponsive clusters, but then the "chaos" would continue, stirring up enough dust to get the cluster going again before the "unresponsive" timeouts triggered, causing false green tests.

Hence: Today this suite plays out a "chaos" scenario, but then it heals network partitions, turns unpowered instances back on and so forth, and sits back and waits for the cluster to recover "on its own".

What do you mean by significant? 1-2% of articles had misinformation, of that percentage a fraction (unknown, reportedly small) were politically related. How do we go from "there were articles containing misinformation" to those articles contributed to the outcome of the election? We simply dont know. We know both sides enjoyed having articles denouncing the other side, but we don't know if they had any effect.

In terms of persuasion, friends family likely had more influence than this small percentage of made up news articles, should we get the pitchforks for misinformed friends too?
I think you're missing the point.

The negative adjustments of past temperatures are neither the work of one scientist, nor even one scientific organization. Let's say for simplicity that they're the result of ten entirely separate confirmed hypotheses about systematic errors in old data.

Each of these was produced by an honest researcher who followed the scientific method: formulate a hypothesis, test it, etc. Let's say their technical work is perfect. All the hypotheses are correct.

But all ten researchers, faced with the choice of what hypothesis to formulate and/or investigate, naturally chose high-impact hypotheses -- ones that, if confirmed, adjust past temperatures downward.

We would naturally expect historical errors in temperature measurements to be evenly distributed. Like errors in cheap thermometers. If they are evenly distributed, we would expect there to be ten other such hypotheses, involving upward corrections in past measurements, which were not studied because of their low impact if confirmed.

This hypothesis explains the data that we ourselves see: that past temperatures are continuously being lowered as the data evolves. And it requires no one to be a bad, incompetent, or dishonest researcher.

These very specific kinds of concrete barriers are specific to the issue, and thus I don't think it's 'semantic' at all.

It was an informative article, oddly an issue never covered in the mainstream press.
Wait. An article about altruism was paywalled?

Words fail me...
One of the ways they did what you describe is by placing these concrete walls around troubled enclaves. They weren't restricting food but munitions had to now be taken through checkpoints.

What shitty vendor is this? Our VAR handles all of that for us. 48 Dimms, 16 SAS drives, P420e, and loads of nics. And they did the firmware updates and checked for defects.

You can get it back! I was in the same spot.

Contact ICQ support and tell them that you no longer have access to that email. You'll confirm your UIN and a few names from your user list. It took about a day to get mine back.
Neat! IFTTT also does this - you can create whatever events and add and output to a daily/weekly digest email, which is sent at a configurable time, if it has any content.
>At the end of the survey, each participant was entered onto a draw for $100, and was given the choice to keep their winnings or to donate it to a charity. Participants again reported on their sexual histories, completed a personality measure, as well as a scale to capture socially-desirable responding and a measure of narcissism. Results showed that, even when controlling for these variables, those who donated reported having more lifetime sex partners, more casual sex partners, and more sex partners over the past year

Apparently they haven't controlled for the obvious variable - money. Wealthier people will care less about a chance to win $100 while having more choice in sexual partners. Also people might feel more generous after being reminded of a good love life (and vice-versa), so the choice to donate should have been at the beginning. This study doesn't really do much to prove that altruism leads to sex.

I imagine he actually meant that Firefox/Chrome/etc are prioritizing a different demographic of users now than they used to. Both are becoming more of an OS in which you run web "apps" rather than just a browser to display and read webpages. Web apps need a consistent base set of features that may not exist on all OS platforms. By providing it internally they signal who and what the browsers are designed for. Other people might consider these features bloat.

To answer his legitimate question: try Pale Moon. It's a browser that respects your freedom and does not include bloat.

The Volt has a planetary gear system that is engaged at highway speeds when the gas engine is being used anyway. At certain speeds, it uses less gas to maintain speed that way instead of generating electricity and using it. When it is more efficient for the engine to supply electricity only, that is how it is done. I don't view this as a compromise at all. It wouldn't make sense to chose a less efficient path just to maintain some sort of purity.
Well I have rebuked the core two tenets of your argument several times in this thread, i.e. the cherry picking in your 'first world countries', and the 'gun deaths are different from other deaths' part, and all you can come back with is 'there is no point arguing' (uh?), 'you can go look it up' (I did, and showed you where, and you just ignore it) and 'I can't help you'. It seems to me you're the one who's too caught up in their identity politics to entertain the facts.

Altruism is about to get a new meaning. Thanks, science!!
From dictionary.com: Altruism is defined as "the principle or practice of unselfish concern for or devotion to the welfare of others (opposed to egoism )."

So, yes, it does have something to do with whether or not you're a jerk.
The phrase "all else being equal" does not mean what you are presenting it as. It's only used to introduce a thought experiment where someone is trying to understand the effect of one variable independently of all the other forces at work, and that person is warning the listener/reader that they are intentionally glossing over lots of other meaningful factors so that they can focus on the one factor they wish to understand.

It is not a statement by the speaker that all other things actually are equal, in fact it's usually an acknowledgement that they're not. If all else really was equal, nobody would ever start a sentence with that phrase.
One mission in my service was going to Korea and blowing up concrete walls. Back in 2008 the Korean government acquired new concrete barrier designs meant to re-enforce strategic locations.

Wanting to see real life usage of these barriers, a contingency of Marine combat engineers working with the ROK Marines got tasked to breaching them.

From that I learned two interesting things of note. Concrete serves two means: it's actual use as a barrier and the other being a manifestation.

In combat zones, Hesco containers prevail. Rapid deployment and durability makes them a much better fit. But imposing concrete blocks represent the continuity of the state.

Heavier and harder, with more logistics required, building out concrete walls is meant as a way for the state to declare they are here to stay, not retreat. So actually it's wielding a supply chain effectively that is the most effective weapon on the battlefield.

That said though, we made short work of the concrete.
The oddest part is, IIRC, it wasn't even Zimmerman's address, but some uninvolved person.

After test driving both, as well as the C-Max, the Volt felt much snappier and suits our lifestyle better. We don't need 5 seats but we like the layout of the cargo space. The overall ride of the Volt is very smooth. In 2.5 years we haven't needed an oil change. My one complaint is that it doesn't corner as well as my 1999 Corolla did.

Sounds like you found a better war than I did, or at least a fancier one. Bare concrete was definitely the norm for our concrete fortifications.

You need to remember that the concern is less about bullets and more about mortars/rockets/VBEDs, which I can assure you, both types of barriers did a reasonably decent job of stopping.
What about urbanisation? Near where I live 20 years ago there was huge green space. Now it's all concrete, buildings and roads. Urbanised area is much more warm. Aren't those stations getting closer (without moving) to urban areas over time - just because urban areas tend to expand? What about new stations? Are they being setup in remote areas only?

I don't know, getting that as a final joke from the right friend or younger family member might be my favorite way to be informed, and then I'd go walk their dog. I'd still be sad, of course, but there's really no good way to be informed of this. In all likely hood, I'd already be informed, and then I'd get this half-assed reminder and be all "oh my god, it's so like them!"

Actually when considering likelihood, they're probably on vacation and forgot to pause the program. A better message might be along the lines of: "Hi this is Sean's personal assistant script: I can't confirm that his puppy has been getting walked would you check into that for me? Spare key is..."

There are standards and, like networking standards, they improve over time. Tesla has a nonstandard approach mostly because they are offering free electricity. There's no real reason why an L3 charging station couldn't offer both connections if Tesla would permit it.

To be somewhat similarly OCD, if your software is controlling storage to each of those drives, then there are many shared LOC involved; indeed, this is the reason why async replication into separate clusters is always recommended for data which can't be lost.
