> I have the theory that if you give money to everybody, prices would go up because sellers will figure they can increase the price of everything without it negatively affecting sales, since every buyer simply has more money to spare, no excuses.

That's how monopoly markets work. But if you're a grocery store and you realize everybody now has $4 more in their pockets, you can't start charging $5 for an apple when the store across the street is still charging $1.
The government already issues this amount of money. It's just inefficiently distributed through individual and corporate welfare subsidies. A UBI would replace nearly all of that.
I picked "libel" because I consider it damaging to the reputation of the US to be painted as categorically racist/xenophobic.

For what it's worth, I wasn't in love with the word choice, but I've not had a recent exchange in which one side is shouting "racist" and something productive come about -- and I should be working :)
Yes, MODBUS is usually used between locally connected devices (but not always for status, often also to control motors and valves).

However, it's the thing everyone in industry knows how to use so it will likely be misused to send everything in plaintext over the Internet.
WTF, I used to be closer to a lot of the republican ideology, but their move over the last 10 years to be so anti-science, anti-fact, anti-thinking it is repulsive. They used to stand for letting people live and not be bothered by the government, now they try to control women's vaginas and so much other shit that bugs me.

That's their up to date position concerning Europe. They're calling for an end to the euro, a reintroduction of national currencies, and end to the Schengen zone (national sovereignty over borders), and article 50 of the Lisbon treaty is specifically mentioned...

You're right though, their page concerning a referendum to outright exit has been archived.
I think Norvig and the author are wrong about "parallelism" requirement. I mean it's good to know what's out there, but you can't really understand it if you try to learn it from a multithreading point of view. Fundamentals for it are part of distributed systems and this is where people should get into and learn things about ordering, consensus, asynchronous and synchronous systems, etc.
Putting polical corectness aside, it's important to have as a varied crowd as possible using your software, to figure out what's still missing, where you still fall short.

I saw that happening time and time again - something I didn't consider important at all, was essential for other folks.
One example - if no blind people use your software, you'll never know how hard or easy it is for them - hence you'll never get a blind person to be your contributor, since it's unusable to them.
That makes perfect sense. Apologies for spreading incorrect information, and thanks for correcting me.

I remember changing around my ssh config a while back and seeing lower speeds when rsync'ing from an older laptop. But that makes sense, I recall cranking up my DH group to 16, 4096-bit, and that was probably why it was struggling.

$50M for a marked improvement, independent of current spend. Buy houses, bottom floor public baths/shower and upper floors house 10-100x more people than low density housing. Keep at it and you'll see a difference. Was thinking ~3M for property and not sure what the construction crew wants, maybe $2-3M for 30 units (think dorm style, shared bathroom per floor housing)

Hotspots get 14 day max stay, inland you stay till u you find another place.

Would agree, a sister city with comparable warm weather and you might persuade people to live in other warm areas like Mississippi.

Phone makes elaborating challenging , sorry about any confusion.
One further thought: I was looking at https://fred.stlouisfed.org/release/tables?rid=50&eid=4786, and it seems that both the unemployment rate, and the U-{1,2,3,4,5,6} measures are approximately at their historical values right now. So it seems that when the unemployment rate shows unemployment at normal historical levels (5% is about the equilibrium rate), the other underemployment rates show the same thing, which makes using the unemployment rate okay. So I think there is quite some danger of looking at the data, seeing what it shows, and not believing it (thus "dismissing" it).
> The 'small wins' you get from just executing the loop over and over again build up a lot of momentum over time.

I've been building on the Web and Internet non-stop since the early 1990s, and that's the only method I've found that works consistently to stave off giving up when things inevitably get really hard. One of the fastest ways to giving up, is to fail to tackle one giant task, and have it grind you up and burn large amounts of time; when you spot that happening, it's critical to switch to smaller tasks / goals that you can knock out quickly, so as to get any modicum of progress going again.
These recommendations are off the top of my head, so take with a pinch of salt [1] or better, verify them by looking up the terms (which you should do anyway to get any value out of the recommendations).

[1] Why I say "take with a pinch of salt" is because this is based on what I learned a while ago about Unix file systems (and some of the terms are also related to DOS and Windows), and some enhanced file systems have come out after that, so some of the terms I mention may be out of date (but likely not, or not many).

Look up these words and terms (not given in any logical order):

(Unix) inode, directory entry, file system, disk partition, physical partition, logical partition, fdisk, cfdisk, boot sector, boot record, master boot record, GRUB, LILO, boot loader, ext2, ext3, ext4, file system types, journaling file system, fsck, fsdb, superblocks, disk 'cylinders, heads, tracks and sectors', disk block size, buffer cache, logical volumes, disk spanning, disk striping, RAID, disk formatting, block device, character device, device file, device driver, ...

You will get many of those terms explained in the resources that others in this thread have mentioned. But this can be a fast way of getting an overview of many of these terms via Wikipedia articles or other pages about them, which may even motivate you to read the longer explanations.

If you are a programmer and know some C, you can also look up functions / system calls / man pages like stat, dirent, opendir, readdir, etc., and have some fun getting (and for some things, setting) the contents of directories programmatically, getting file metadata like file size, type, times (access, modification, etc., owner and group, permissions for owner, group, other, etc.)

Edited to add a few more terms.

I'm lucky to have a good view northwards off the northern coast of Scotland with very little light pollution. Occasionally an AuroraWatch UK alert will come through when conditions are right - little or no moonlight and clear skies. I have some nice lenses (EF 35mm f1.4, Tokina 11-16mm f2.8) and a trusty Canon 7D. I think I still have quite some time before feeling confident taking photos of the aurora. In real life it's moving quite subtly. The camera settings used to capture the aurora (and minimise noise from high ISO) result in the movement being captured as motion blur. Hoping to find the sweet spot soon.
Humans are herd animals. They tend to look at what other people like them are doing, and do likewise.

It's unfortunate that people look at trivia like gender and ethnicity in such circumstances; but it's a fact of human behaviour. If potential contributors look at a project and don't see anyone who "looks like them", they're unlikely to contribute; so projects which want to maximize contributions are well advised to seek ways to "look inclusive".

(And this goes beyond open source software, of course. My university's computer science program has seen a significant uptick in applications from females after going out of their way to select photos of female students for recruiting material.)

In short, it's a matter of overcoming cognitive biases.
Excellent. Wish I could have read this article before I started learning about reverse engineering.

I think it's notable how he ended up with a better product: one simple DRM-free file viewable by applications and devices of his choosing. I don't really understand why the company even bothered with all these protection measures. Did they actually believe it would work?
What do taxes have to do with it? What I'm saying in my blog post is if you want to do something about your personal CO2 emissions and you live in the US, you could donate $15/year to sequester all of them (if you don't live in the US, you would probably need to donate less than $15 to sequester all your CO2 for that year, but you would have to do the calculation yourself).
Slavery involves no pay and being unable to leave under threat of violence. Undocumented workers are paid and are free to leave. Indeed, many people are actively asking them to leave.

I take your point, but it's not slavery. A basic income isn't meant to preclude anyone from working. If it existed and undocumented workers were removed, those jobs would have to pay a wage sufficient to entice someone who doesn't need them for survival, or we'd have to go without those services.
I don't cross often, but I know a few people who do often. I've heard both complaints.

I think it depends heavily on the crossing and the specific staffing there. You have two jurisdictions sort of working side by side, so there's lots of fodder for tit-for-tat bullshit.
Note: not all of the terms above will necessarily result in good hits, but many or most should. As usual, caveat lector.
The premise of the quedtion is wrong--they do make these cars. See the Scion FRS. Also Subaru has a car that looks just like it, but I cannot remember the name.

Also I would argue the Mazda Miata targets this style, and I have seen a Honda car that looks quite similar to the Miata as well.
If it were possible to draw a clear line between "primitive human" and "non-primitive human", I might agree. But it's not. Perhaps one day it will be, but that day has yet to come, and the smartest, cleverest, most capable Mark One plains ape is a Mark One plains ape nonetheless. Imagining oneself otherwise seems like a sure path to regret.

Perhaps one day, too, there will exist a human or posthuman being of sufficient perceptive, cognitive, and mnemonic capacity to understand how our species and our societies work in sufficient detail and completeness to usefully contemplate its directed modification. That day also has yet to come, and judging by the results of those attempts at social engineering our histories document, I'd have to say that to suggest any such course of action is, in the most charitable interpretation, an expression of optimism very far beyond the possible.

Until such a day arrives - and I suspect we'll know it when it does - I might make so bold as to opine that a much more productive avenue for our efforts would instead be to perceive and understand how our species and our societies actually do work, with an eye toward optimizing our own behavior toward whatever goal we find best suits us, while not making ourselves so intolerable to our fellows that opprobrium becomes condign.

Granted, this requires not only humility but the total abandonment of faith in human perfectibility and all other such nonsense beliefs - neither of which changes is terribly palatable at first blush. I have, though, in my experiments thus far toward modeling my own behavior after this apparently heterodox ideal, observed the results to be quite strongly beneficial in my own case, and to the limit of my perceptual ability, in the cases of those who regularly interact with me as well. Perhaps others might observe a similar result.
It should just label HTTP pages as "not secure", full stop. Because they aren't secure. Or at least, any page with a form. Never mind if it's a password field or not.
Addons get the necessary information. They can distinguish top level navigation from frames. And they could easily impose rules that keep google on the same container when needed.

That's the point of having an addon API instead of fixed behavior, to implement logic around such complications.
What about Scion FRS?
Negative. Theft is a crime. Crime is defined by the criminal law. If you choose to have your own personal criminal law, so that you can call whatever you like theft, that's up to you, but if you're going to do that with language, you can claim anything is anything.
1. The bank was fined 1.9 billion dollars for that

2. The bank did not intentionally violate any laws, they just didn't properly monitor their wire transfers. . . That is very different from the intentional tax evasion being alleged in this article
This has been suggested before. Scale is still hard. I read an article in the UC Davis algae magazine (http://www.algaeindustrymagazine.com/department/education/we...) a while ago that talked about flooding a fairly large acre (hectare) parcel with water, growing a layer of algae on it, then burying the algae. (process flood, algae mat grows, drain/evaporate, and plow it all under, then repeat.) The algae decomposition process releases methane (worse than CO2).
Mods, can we please get the "?m=1" part of the url removed? I think the current link is for mobile.

Exactly correct. There are basic philosophical underpinnings to the GNU/FSF approach to open source and as such the FSF's entire purpose is advancing those principles, not just some general sense of "open source".

I personally don't hold their vision and I find their philosophical position flawed. I see tactical use in their licenses when I want to limit certain developer freedoms without having a fully closed source license, but will generally license MIT if creating a genuinely open source piece work.
That might be the reason but likely not the justification. The justification is the thing they tell the public in order to get something passed.
I haven't heard that these have led people to add more capacity to the Tor network (although that's definitely plausible). Is there a public source for this connection?
In summary, it supports a number of block ciphers (many of which are obsolete and insecure), uses the CTR mode of operation, PBKDF2, and no authentication.

Edit:

Also, I don't think it destroys the password from the memory after deriving the key, or the encryption key after closing the stream, neither does it try to lock the memory (where the sensitive data is located) from being swapped out.

I disagree and it's a complaint I have heard a lot and simply can't understand. I have worked with a lot of coders and it was always a "joined venture". We worked on the game for the same reasons - if it was for fun only, we both knew it was for free and if the game turned profitable, it was to be shared.

A lot of artists do provide free art (e.g. kenney or the huge community at opengameart or myself with the tutorials and the freeart (http://2dgameartforfree.blogspot.de/).
It's a debt that's generally paid forward, not back. You still have a shot.
Yes! My university CS program focused on teaching you to think about computation, with the particular language you'd express your thoughts in as an interchangeable detail.

Scheme for beginners, Python for web scraping and data munging, C for concurrent network and systems programming, and some small exposure to Java, Haskell, Standard ML, awk, yacc/lex, C++, and your mobile environment of choice depending on which classes you took.

Many were upset by this "very theoretical" approach, as they'd prefer to have immediately employable skills in JS-framework-of-the-week. Instead they were taught how to think independently of a particular language, and to get comfortable with learning new ones.

From a programming craft perspective, it was a little disappointing that we were never focused on advanced language features or idiomatic code, but I felt I had a solid enough base to self-teach that sort of thing.

My wife and I decided to move from SF to Walnut Creek some months before she gave birth. We're paying slightly more for rent, but instead of a 1-bedroom, we now live in a townhouse.
Aside from more space, this has other perks: we don't have to deal with loud neighbors, crappy Victorian radiators, communal appliances, and playing garage Tetris. The commute sucks, but the benefits outweigh this drawback.
This demonstrates a setup that runs easily on rpi -- not a huge surprise as rpi is pretty powerful nowadays, but still a useful data point.
The (Many) Realities of Java Performance Profiling
Not necessarily minorities in the US(in fact a lot of US minorities are overrepresented in tech), but if you could make say, a few Spanish speaking people in poorer parts of Brazil contribute, they could spread whatever knowledge they gained with their broader community and encourage more people to participate who might have otherwise viewed these things as stuff "genius hackers with degrees" do.

That would be my reasoning. We need to get people who would never see themselves as being able to develop software because they never went to university or don't have the 'brains' to get into it. There's a lot of wasted brainpower because of the false impression that coding is something for an elite few.
Your mistake is assuming that Republicans are libertarians. They are not, and never have been. They can do a moderately convincing impression of one when an election is close enough that they need votes from actual libertarians, but the façade is always dropped when it's time to actually sit down and govern.
Have you ever seen a Dodge Viper?
It's all a matter of priorities. When my wife and I got married we knew that she wanted to stay home with the kids when we had them. To avoid becoming comfortable with two incomes and have to back down later, we made the choice to live on only my salary and put hers in the bank. We never got used two incomes, so it was pretty easy for her to leave her job when the time came.

There's all sorts of caveats with this, of course, and not every family can make it happen. We definitely don't regret the choice, and I'm certain our kids are better for it.
> The Cloward–Piven strategy is a political strategy outlined in 1966 by American sociologists and political activists Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven that called for overloading the U.S. public welfare system in order to precipitate a crisis that would lead to a replacement of the welfare system with a national system of "a guaranteed annual income and thus an end to poverty".

and what about all the better jobs that will get freed?

And, anyway, would the situation be any different for them, than it is now, in case they'll keep doing the low wage jobs?

Why don't you switch your job with one of them? Aren't you taking advantage of their low wage labor right now?
The user you're responding to was trying to articulate that whether or not people submit code is often silently affected by intangibles, like whether or not they think they'll be welcomed into the community and treated with respect and as an equal.

Even if you want to argue that the reasons people have for deciding not to get involved in open source are wrong or that those intangibles shouldn't affect open source projects for some other reason, the fact is that the pattern will nevertheless self-reinforce and affect open source by deterring more hands from coming on deck.

If x% of the white male population is developing on open source, but only x% * y% of the non-white-male population is, and getting people interested in open source isn't a zero-sum game, then making y as close to 100 as possible can only be a good thing. Making a concerted effort to recruit diversely, it is hoped, will have accelerating returns as intentional involvement of diverse contributors will lead to more and more organic involvement of diverse contributors.

> I hope for an educated electorate in the future.

It's not about the electorate being educated/not educated. Part of the problem is that the uneducated working class hasn't benefited as much as the educated/elites in society.

Part of why globalism was pushed, is the idea that by outsourcing/eliminated manufacturing and other blue collar work, our society could become more educated, and focus on an 'information' based economy. What wasn't anticipated is just how many people would be left behind, due to many factors including inequality, rising education costs, and then the fact that not all blue collar workers are cut out for university/office jobs.

Anyhow, both globalism and protectionism are valid economic policies, depending on what you want the outcome to be. My personal opinion - both are highly flawed, but no one is ready for anything more progressive.
