If they "need" the highly-skilled people in the US, who cost 5-6x the ones in India, then there's something clearly lacking with the people in India. Otherwise, why not just dump the US workers altogether and move all new operations to India? They can even move their American workers there and offer them a salary that's 1.5x-2x the standard salary in India and still save a bundle over Silicon Valley salary levels.

Seriously: these companies keep threatening this, I wish they'd just do it and see how it works out for them. It just sounds like an idle threat to me to try to get their way in the US. I'm really sick and tired of their threats.

Well as the paper notes, we don't quite have their browsing history, just the domains (since HTTPS encrypts the paths). But yes, the domains you visit make you unique and therefore identifiable.
"installed software" is a bit of a misnomer - its a feature baked into the firmware, when you first setup the TV it asks you for permission to do enhanced content recognition. If you say yes, it will enable the system - if you say no, the TV will never send data of fingerprints on the screen.

"Clinton supporters have convinced me – and here I am being 100% serious – that my safety is at risk if I am seen as supportive of Trump. So I’m taking the safe way out and endorsing Hillary Clinton for president." -Scott Adams

Did you [citation needed] his claims that twitter regularly censors political speech? Because there really is no evidence of that.

My guess is methane as well, Mars still "breathes" out methane occasionally[1]. Given that chunks of Mars have been kicked off the planet and landed on Earth, I wonder if you modeled a chunk of Titan's methane ice being kicked off Titan and hitting Mars would have the effect of filling out enough of Mars' atmosphere to warm it.

I admit that I love C++. Of the time I spent learning programming, C++ took the lion's share. I think the language is making amazing progress since C++11. So, I started to make even more efforts to learn all the changes the language was getting.

Then, I saw rust. I fell in love with it. It is indeed what I see as the future for one who isn't tied to using C++ or C from legacy, programmer-knowledge or programmer-availability constraints. I, decided that I will place my bets on rust and am willingly giving up all the investment I made in C++. If I am their target audience, then they've definitely reached me!

McKay did foundational research in machine learning; was a chief scientific advisor to the UK government's department for climate change; created eye tracking user interface software for paralysed people; and wrote an excellent text book on information theory. I.e. a proper Olympian. So when you read a statement like that, you should take it seriously and possibly realign your world-view.
That's a very different claim than "Clinton will have me killed". It also isn't entirely inconceivable or wrong, as it's actually happened [0]. Maybe after seeing enough videos of physical violence being inflicted against Trump supporters he decided it was best if he wasn't seen as pro-Trump for his own safety?

Why is that funny? Adams is making an entirely unsubstantiated, and again self-centered, claim: These sorts of things always get flagged. He's done this time and time again -- if an error (which Twitter has many of, and I respect as a consequence of the scale) happens to him, it's a conspiracy. If he isn't at the top of people's feeds, it's a conspiracy.

Didn't the people like Adams all claim they were going to go to some alternative Twitter? Why haven't they just done that by now?

We seem to be fast approaching a time where people realize they want their privacy.

Saying you don't care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is like saying do you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say.
This is the same text that is in the traditional GPL, and nobody has tried to claim that it requires additional libraries or programs like database drivers talking to a GPL'ed database must be GPL. This would immediately prevent anyone from using MariaDB, since it is GPL licensed.

Literally the only delta between the GPL and AGPL is the Remote Network Interaction section, it doesn't extend the reach of the GPL license in regards to database drivers, etc.
It's the type of attack where you'd never even be able to track down the perpetrator. They should at least add a chime when it is activated so that the users can take note and chug some gatorade or something.

I'd suggest supplementing Russell's History. Russell is an engaging writer but he does have some pretty strong biases. Understand that Russell's history was written when he was short of time and money, having just been banned from lecturing at the City College of New York (on the grounds of morality).

Anthony Kenny's four volume history of philosophy is broader, though not without fault. The most authoritative history of Western philosophy is Frederick Copleston's nine volume series, but that might be a bit too much of a good thing for most people.

Do read Russell, but remember he has a whole sack of biases.

Berlin provides an excellent review of Russell's History: https://culturalapparatus.wordpress.com/a-history-of-western...
Desalination is definitely a big one, innovation here may be needed to head off major ecological/humanitarian catastrophes.

Desalination itself isn't hard, keeping it affordable is.

Between ill-advised agricultural ventures in the past few decades and clumsy regulation here in the GCC, groundwater deposits are draining frighteningly fast. Desalination is just too expensive as it is since it's directly linked to hydrocarbon prices and deposits.
Direct democracy could help here. Ask people whether they want to decriminalize corruption and even those who voted for populists are going to say no.
So, for one of the implementations, yes, we implemented Curve25519 inside of the Kernel. Basically, every node was pushed into a map with the association of IP/Port to key data.

At the reception of a packet, if we didn't have a key, we'd punt the packet to userspace, asking it to do an exchange.

For some reason -- That I forget, we ended up putting the entire key into each packet. I think that when the "exchange" happened in userspace, we didn't actually store the entire box and key, instead we just generated an association specific key, and we wanted to be able to rotate this quickly. I think we just came up with the fact that doing the derivation was cheap enough that it'd be better to do it on every message.

What would then happen is that if we didn't have a box cached, we would calculate it, and this code was implemented as a helper function outside of the BPF itself. Then we did Poly1305 + XSalsa20 with a random nonce.

Why? Because IPSec is fucking complicated, and because I can?

Fair point, but it seems like you'd be using the wrong filter ahead of time.
I've not been diagnosed with ADD, though I show signs of it and mild dyslexia. Sitting in a quiet library with kids shuffling papers? That's a horrible environment.

So the first things first: Figure out how to deal with the environment. I prefer either to be in a silent house, alone, but that isn't doable often, so I tend to like music or something like NPR, BBC News, and so on because that minimizes the effect. Sometimes headphones are a bonus.

Classrooms are different altogether. Granted, I recently completed 2 years of language classes (Norwegian, because I moved here). The first year was difficult. Class moved slowly, and I'd get bored. I doodled in class to help me focus, and always took notes. Anything physical to keep me in-tune with the words. The second year was much better, as I was learning health-care stuff along with the language. I stopped doodling because the pace of class was on-target. In addition, we'd change activities often.

Studying on my own has proven more difficult, as I procrastinate. I'm going to need to start being more interactive. My solution is more a work-around: I'm gonna volunteer, probably to talk to someone elderly that requested some company. I'm more motivated to broaden my language skills this way. And I try to do this sort of thing as much as possible.

Frequent breaks are another solution, if you can. It isn't so bad to commit to 15-30 minutes to study something... Kinda like the advice they give to people starting to meditate.

And that's all I have for now. Much luck to you, your struggle is real.
There could be so many reasons for tweets becoming unavailable, not related to The World Hates Scott Adams(tm). It appears to happen when you quote someone, then block them, for example. It could also just be a bug. I've seen the "this tweet is unavailable" message tons of times, but never noticed a pattern.

If it's true that this is throttling, a tool used to suppress and censor "any content that disagrees with [Twitter's] political views" then that would be interesting but there's nothing in this post that supports this except a strange video.

The "great video" makes a lot of claims without any proof. It's mostly a long, super aggressive, homophobic[0], rant.

Could it just be selection bias. If you mostly follow aholes on Twitter, and some tweets become unavailable because the quote feature is broken (or something), then it seems like your ahole opinion is being censored?

Mozilla are even going to ship this strategy in Firefox soon[1].

Each context will have its own local state which is separated from the state of other contexts

The folks who built it couldn't make it stable, and they can't be made to work overtime or be on call. So the website just doesn't work off hours.

No. Absolutely NOT! You are not helping them, they are helping themselves to your generous demeanour at your expense. You need to learn how to negotiate better, which is merely a learned skill, not something you are born with.

Go listen to the first 1/3rd of Roger Dawson's classic series: http://www.audible.com/pd/Business/The-Secrets-of-Power-Nego...

From his material:

There are three simple rules to follow when striving for Win-Win negotiations:

• Do you narrow negotiations down to one issue? When you do, there can only be a winner
and a loser. Broaden the scope of negotiations. Take into account all the elements and piece
together those elements like a jigsaw puzzle until both sides are satisfied and can win.

• Never assume you know what the other party wants. Get to know the person, rather than
the business or the prospective deal.

• Understand that people are different and have different perspectives on the negotiations.
Never assume that money is the bottom line.

You keep insisting on a literal interpretation when it is just as likely its metaphorical. (i.e. That your deeds echo through history eternally after you ... which is basically true with recorded history which existed at that time in history. )

Just because you feel other people are "bat-shit crazy" for not sharing your belief system doesn't change the fact the beliefs are based on a valid life lesson.

I'm curious, do you believe everything you read is literally the complete truth without some interpretation being required? Do you believe everything a politician tells you as the literal truth?

You're just being pedantic here.

There's a big difference between countries that above the US (top 18) on that list where there is a 10x to 100x difference. 1x (US) to 4x (China) does not a magnitude make.

Even given that I would concede that the U.S is a lot less populous country than China. Additionally, there's a lot of places where comparisons of stats are invalid because of that difference.
even more interesting case:

Recent case law has mostly struck down the CFAA criminal penalties for violating TOS. But case law generally imposes a higher obligation on employees to comply with authorized use agreements that they've signed.

If you concretely enumerate the authorized uses of employee access and leave out subpoenas, the first time you're served with a FISA letter you can keep the court busy for weeks pending a ruling on the CFAA consequences.

This will never work long term and it will certainly piss off some judges & FBI agents, but at least it can further defang the overzealous authorized use language in the CFAA.

The fact that the FBI (or whoever drafted the natl security letter) is inducing you to commit a felony may also trump the gag order. But YMMV with that argument. Even if you win that one on appeal you'll spend some time in jail in the interim.

I'm with you on the books. I tried to learn Perl 5 from online resources, couldn't. Once I had books in hand, no problem.

The good news for Perl 6 is that books are incoming. O'Reilly has taken on both Learning Perl 6 (by the formidable teacher brian d foy) for a summer 2017 release, and Think Perl 6 (a translation of Think Python by Laurent Rosenfeld and Allen B. Downey; unedited draft available now). Moritz Lenz is developing his manuscript of Perl 6 by Example publicly on his blog (perlgeek.de), and Ken Youens-Clark has released an e-book on doing metagenomics in Perl 6, which includes a substantial Perl 6 tutorial.

As to CPAN, with Inline::Perl5 the entire Perl 5 CPAN is available to Perl 6 -- and if you call now, we'll throw in Inline::Python for no additional cost!

"Most H1-B holders are from pretty desperate circumstances and put up with just about anything, at least until they obtain their GCs."

I agree.

So give all legal temp workers GC.
Then no desparate circumstance for them to work in.
Which means they'll not say yes to jobs that pay peanuts.

With the same number of people in the country, this will lead to an increase in salaries offered because new GC holders can demand more.

Also, companies have more money to hire others instead of wasting it on filling H1b or go through a long winded GC process.

#Winning for all no? :)

It's also an effect of a badly written software, not something that is constantly present in the CPU execution. You based the claim to which I've replied on "sharing is illusory", "if two threads" and "the CPU deals with it" like it's necessary to happen all the time in the CPU as soon as the threads exist and they access the same data.

> when you go to scale of several thousands cores in a geographically distributed system.

There you are not describing "a CPU" (as in, the thing that's in the CPU slot of the motherboard) which is all I discussed, and I'm not interested in changing the topic.
