What was not obvious to me, and took a lot of higher math to get to, was that in the grouping of N=>I=>Q=>R=>C, at each stage you're pulling in a more complete mathematical representation (counting, rings, fields) until you're algebraically closed, and while you could go higher, you start losing properties you like again, like commutability over multiplication.

Complex numbers are that nice saddle point, which is an interesting thing to ponder.

I wish there was more focus on these "why" aspects in at least the optional advanced math or physics you could get in HS. It helps put some things in perspective.
This. I know HSR is sexy, but for the money California should put in a conventional rail network first. People would take the train between San Francisco and LA, say, if speeds were comparable to driving.
and we could argue at length of whether it's truly free in the classical sense, or a mix of advice, persuasion, deliberation, and prohibition

No we couldn't because I don't entertain false choices. It's as deterministic as a game of billiards and you have no power to argue otherwise.
None, save for maybe dealing w money. But you don't have to learn a ton of calc before you will have the tools to really get that, like, everything is waves, man... and that's pretty rad
E-mount is significantly superior to A-mount for MILC cameras. The extremely short flange length means that it's compatible with pretty much any lens with a suitable adapter.

Your dad's old lens F-mount lens will work perfectly on an E-mount camera, with full AF and aperture control. So will any A-mount or EF-mount lens.

What you appear to be arguing is that developers shouldn't be compensated for their efforts unless they write custom software for commercial organizations as contractors or employees, and that if they develop novel software no one thinks to ask for, that should just be given away free for others to profit from.

> if they have permission and are doing the modifications themselves, why should they pay the original author?

They should have paid the author for the right to use the software. That would normally include the right to adapt the software for their own purposes.

The author has the right to decide on the terms of the licence under which software is released. Any user who doesn't agree to the terms shouldn't be allowed to use the software.
It would be pretty silly to ask whether people who don't exist are anything at all.

Would I be right in guessing that we're looking at a well-built security system responding to high page load?

Saying the page doesn't exist in these types of situations is interesting. Users consider 404s permanent, so some proportion is unlikely to come back. Furthermore, because each user is hitting the page individually, there's going to be very little out-of-band "no it doesn't work", so it won't reduce server load by much.

From a security standpoint, if high load like this is causing "lp0 on fire"-type issues, a generic 404 may be the correct answer, depending on the situation. A 404 is quite generic, but I'm sure it could still leak useful information depending on the scenario.

Whatever's going on, hearing what actually happened would be very cool (and educational, most people here are Web developers!).
I just had that idea this weekend - also like a github branch-diagram of math/physics history
> The private sector has been building 200,000 units a year [...] we used to build enough houses. The difference is that in addition to the 200,000 privately built housing units we used to have 200,000 units of government built housing a year.

Right, so government stopped building public housing, but didn't allow private sources to fill the gap. That seems clear enough.

> This report from local governments shows that around 50% of granted planning permissions are still waiting to be built.

That's not at all what that report says. Again, in the past 10 years permission has been granted to build over 2 million homes; the overwhelming majority have been built. Planning permissions are the most critical input in the house building process; of course builders keep an inventory on hand. That inventory ballooned a bit during the crisis; as your own link notes, it's now falling again, and only amounts to about a 12 month supply.

> Additionally it says that councils approve 9/10 planning permissions

The existing rules are pretty clear, and obviously people don't apply for permissions which they know will not be granted. I mean, this entire thread is on the context of loosening restrictions; you're surely not claiming that 90% of applications to build in the greenbelt would be granted?

What would be relevant - and what is crucially NOT in your link - is evidence that there are building sites for which planning permission would be granted, if anyone applied, but for which no one is applying. But what seems to be the current status (and which your link supports) is that the supply of building sites for which permission can be obtained is about 200k/year, of which the overwhelming majority are 1) applied for and 2) built upon.

That is quite correct. When we removed Piezo from the Mac App Store a year ago, we didn't send out a press release, nor seek publicity over this move in any way. We simply removed it and explained why on our blog (https://weblog.rogueamoeba.com/2016/02/12/piezo-1-5-arrives-...). That was it.

We can certainly debate how well-established or tech-savvy our users are (though I will note that Piezo is by far our simplest application, and used by the least technically savvy among our user base). But to say that we did this in a “public fashion” is just false.
There are a few others:

I hope they saved both.

It's very important to make a copy the original raw data and all the metadata to know how/when/where/under what condition/by whom/ ... take the raw data. Just in case it's necessary to analyze it again, verify the correction code, use better interpolation techniques, or whatever new analysis is deem necessary in the future.

And also it important to make a copy the processed data because it's necessary a lot of time and knowledge to process them correctly and sometimes it's enough to get the processed data make further analysis.

[For a totally no controversial topic, if someone decides to make a backup of the LHC data used to discover the Higgs boson, I hope that they also save both version of the data.]

Anyway, the title is misleading. They didn't rescue anything. The data were never lost or at an imminent risk. They are still in the original source. They only made a backup in case someone decides to erase them. (Can we classify this as a fake new?)
No, it's further separating people. As a conservative Trump supports in Los Angeles I'd hope they give this kind of marketing to meetups for Trump supporters.
Look at the actual wording:

Has the subject engaged in or discussed tradecraft to hide their online activities contextually different from previous activity?

The relevant part isn't the encryption, but the context. If you have two email accounts, one for general usage, unencrypted, and one encrypted that you rarely use, but suddenly see a spike in usage, that's a red flag.

It isn't if you use encryption, but how you use it.
No, you didn’t. I was trying to characterize the “poor attempts at abstraction” you mentioned.

1) I don't take the snowden leaks as gospel, sorry.
2) Even if i did, "most peoples adversary" is a meaningless phrase at this point, and also used quite often as a rhetorical feint to take down someones arg. And given the profound unification of the security state across seemingly all lines, its also dead wrong. Technically everyones adversary is the NSA, as long as data is shared surreptiously and , more and more, openly and legally between TLA's, state, and local LEAs.
3) GPG may be an excellent tool, the first time you use it, but if you transmit anything encrypted you are automatically targeted, another point directly from the snowden docs, no? And since virtually no one is going to use one time devices and farraday cages unless your model of communication is "I just have to get this one message out, then I'm good" its worse than useless, given that it will only make you more of a target.
I think this is a much more sensible and useful implementation, where the computation happens in a centralized location but the heat energy gets distributed. The linked solution requires CPUs to be distributed for the the heat energy to go with them. As many other commenters post, this creates many questions about data security.
I also find it peculiar. It is about as far away from my daily hard-headed software development experience as anything could be.
Like in math, answers are made by problems/questions. Literally cannot get a certain solution without correctly understanding the problem. So, the quality of answers depends on the quality of questions. The more accurately, precisely, and realistically you can point out what you want to know the more specifically an enlightened being would be able to answer you. Please note this is my answer to the specific question you asked. If you want to know the definition of justice, its function, how it can be practiced or generated, etc., I'll need to know what you have in mind.

No you don't. You leak AWSAccessKeyId which is not a secret. You use a signature to authorize the file upload.
A GUI that wraps some system calls is how you end up using "p" for all your passwords. One of the many symptoms of OpenPGP not getting the investment it deserves and sorely needs is that there is no production-quality library implementation going.

TOFU works within a number of contexts. Though not all.

Generally, out-of-band or reference-based (e.g., third-party vouching) of identity.

Web-of-trust is useful but IMO ultimately a tool of limited use, and presents numerous issues with data disclosure, as it is an independent and public validation of social networks. Often who knows who is more critical than who says what to whom.

PGP-over-email unfortunately leaks massive amounts of metadata.
Having a documented API is nice, but I still wouldn't call it "trivial" to migrate out of.

Besides, we don't know if this API is going to stay around forever or whether it will be discontinued. (Unlike, e.g., the git repository itself, which will always be self-contained so easy to migrate away if needed.)

Same. But just lately it seems like the push is toward normalization, and that complicates the matter considerably.
Yes.

In a billing sense, since you're not paying for a provisioned server. You only pay for the time your request is executing and your storage in S3.

In the monitoring sense, since Amazon is responsible for monitoring the servers and infrastructure that your application runs on.

In a security sense, since Amazon is responsible for installing security updates, using the appropriate SSL cipher suite and sandboxing your code so that a vulnerability turn the server into a part of a botnet.

In a scaling sense, since you're not responsible for provisioning more servers should you get the hug of death from having your site posted here.

A server is more than just a computer hooked up to the internet. It's a set of responsibilities, limitations and costs that you have to stay on top of. A "serverless" application has far fewer responsibilities and limitations and a completely different cost structure. It's not right for everyone, but it is a fundamentally different way of architecting your application.
If/when they do this, I'm gone from OSX.

But digital services do actively censor posts, even if your post is perfectly legal. Postal services do not destroy letters with pictures of nipples in it, just try to post an image of a female breast on Facebook. If they can censor nipples, they can actively filter hate speech or abusive posts just fine. Claimining it's too difficult to monitor posts pro–actively was probably true in 2005, but not anymore. Right now, platforms like Facebook are eating cake and having it too.

Agreed, but it still comes down to demanding more from law enforcement agencies in multiple jurisdictions.

Laying this at the feet of the contractor is not going far enough.

You seriously try defending reading bomb-making books? Yes, because freedom to seek and impart information is a human right. More practically, if you start down this path of forbidden knowledge then you wind up at a point where learning or teaching at all is a banned, inherently political act. What about reading about physics or chemistry on Wikipedia? An interest in metalwork, sculpture, jewellery or pottery? Being observed working on "unknown" metal projects at a makerspace, keeping to yourself, and paying in cash? People deserve to be judged for their actions alone and not obtuse, politicized potential interpretations of their interests or past behavior generated by the secret machinations of the state, perversely nominally on their behalf and in the name of 'freedom'.

I don't think this is the same as a subsidy. It's about immunity from legal consequence.

If a website can curate what is said so that it is visibly filled with defamatory material about a specific target, the organization curating the material maintains complete immunity from what would otherwise destroy a newspaper or any other organization that is actually liable for what is printed in it.

I don't think this should be possible for any organization, regardless of who they are. This immunity should require an extreme impartiality on behalf of the website. It's meant to protect organizations from speech they don't control -- when they assert any control over that speech, it's now their speech.
If you've ever used iTunes to manage a large collection of music, then you've probably watched iTunes get progressively worse at managing that collection of music, while becoming progressively more bloated and full of cruft.

I thought about starting this project way back when Apple got rid of the album artwork view while in the songs view of your library. To me, that change was such an obvious mistake that demonstrated that Apple didn't really understand how people used iTunes. The Artist and Album Views that Apple provided to supplant the songs view were half-functional and incredibly buggy with large libraries, and often just played tracks and albums completely out of order.

Other examples include taking away the user's focus when skipping songs, not preserving selection when you leave and return to a playlist view, the track queue in general...I could go on. jmc tries to provide a smoother experience in all these areas. I would try it out!

But basically, continued fundamental missteps in iTunes' application design and engineering spurred me to write my own application to fix some of these glaring problems with the UI. I also wanted to fix problems that occur when you migrate your library to a new hard drive and provide better location management for media stored externally in general.

Even more broadly, I want to provide a fully featured hackable media manager along the lines of foobar2000, but for macOS, because macOS really doesn't have anything that's very good. jmc aims to do that, without the cruft and BS that iTunes is currently stuffed with. While it's not all the way there yet, it will be!

It looks like he promoted use of the phrase "climate change" during the GWB administration but that's not when the phrase was coined:

https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=climate+change...

The term "climate change" appeared in research literature long before (resistance to acknowledging) anthropogenic climate change became a significant political issue.

See for example this short 1970 communication in PNAS "Carbon Dioxide and its Role in Climate Change"

http://www.pnas.org/content/67/2/898.short

I think that the term "climate change" is better than "global warming" since it also encompasses localized cooling events that might be caused by anthropogenic emissions, e.g. the hypothesized collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation that could lead to colder winters in Western Europe.
