There are many far more productive things they could be doing, but in the meantime they're not doing any of those, are they? Also, how do you know their (hypothetically) productive investments would pay off more than those made by shareholders who received the cash as a dividend and invested it elsewhere? Are you really arguing that Apple has the highest imaginable ROI of all available options?

Content creators (and their publishers) should have the right to specify licenses for their content.

That is an entirely different thing from requiring (or even expecting) third parties to reduce the functionality of their product to help enforce that license.

This is not a WWII era plane. It's first flight was in 1999. That's far from the 1940s.
It occurred before WalMart.

The biggest problem was that areas switched from growth to contraction. Once that happened, everybody tightened their belts and customer service along with inventory are the first to go.

It would be cool to somehow be able to send a feedback to the previous user who shared the link. I can see a few things being derivative from this idea. Nice idea, but yeah, horrifying when it comes to security. We really have to trust the previous user or simply leave the website. It would be great if you could perform some scan to check for pornographic content, scripts (js) in the page, malware and so on. That's a nice page to exploit CSRF as you don't need to persuade the user to click in a link, you just redirect him.
Is there an extension that brings this button back?

I know publishers hate this, but publishers don't exactly have a good track record of treating their user well. Non-copyable text, hijacking right click. Regardless of how they feel it's all workaroundable (inspect) but still a hostile user experience.
That is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for that, I know what I'll be using the next time I need to use HTML (I'm terrible with JS/CSS - I usually spend 15+ minutes trying to center something).

I was an EFnet server admin at Texas.Net up until '98 or so when the smurf attacks became too much and we pulled the plug on that server. Not too long after that a few friends and I started a tiny network of our own that still runs to this day.

I can credit SA and MetaFilter (what a combo, eh?) for keeping me sane after I got laid off in '02. Nowdays Reddit has pretty much replaced SA for me, and I don't participate on MeFi as much as I used to... but the folks there kept me from killing myself after my wife died suddenly in '09.

Totally agree. In fact having a sense of security can help him and his people have a better life and help American taxpayers avoid another needless war.

I am not saying USA is at fault here but I think actually trying to increase trade with NK and letter NK be involved in world affairs littler more might help Kim actually do something better for his people. If USA polish bottoms of Saudi Arabia it can probably be little more nice to North Korea too. It might actually help the world peace.

I think China will use NK as a borrowed knife eventually or USA might attack its own soil and blame it on NK to start a war.
Is it though? DVD players conform to region code requirements.

Edit to add: I think people like me, who aren't content creators (not to any degree that anyone should care about), need to be careful about telling people who are content creators what they should and shouldn't be allowed to do to protect their content.
The parent you're replying to did not draw conclusions, merely talked about patterns. Kinda like I see a pattern in you, within 48 hours, defending climate change denial, religious oppression and now Trump.

Humans do that - they look at the world and see patterns all the time. Some people are worse at it than others.

I knew a guy who worked at one of the national labs that had its own Cray supercomputer, in a computer room with a big observation window that visitors could admire it through.

Just before a tour group came by, he hid inside the Cray, and waited for them to arrive. Then he casually strolled out from the Cray, pulling up the zipper of his jeans, with a relieved expression on his face.
Good for him. I had a similar experience. Had to slog it out at low wages long enough to have a real work history with recognizable clients.

He seems a little more bitter about it than I was. Trust is part of the game, and people just naturally, and subconsciously look for signals that you're the real deal.
There is standard Cyrillic of today.

Earlier versions had a few more characters, and Old Slavonic / Church Slavonic has different vocabulary and verb forms vs. today's Russian. Similar to the differences between Olde English and today's English.
Well, that could happen on any website that you visit. IMO it does not make a difference whether you know the link before you click it or not, because you still don't know what you will get. But I am thinking about implementing some sort of virus/malware scanning.

It honestly pains me to hear that. It's like someone saying "I saw $100 on the street but didn't feel that its value outweighed having to lean over."

Frequent flier miles are super simple (just put your number when booking the ticket) and very rewarding. It's idiotic to not collect them.
If you don't want people without money getting hurt, you may want to consider finding an alternative to capitalism.
Lots. In fact, probably more of them than not, considering national consciousness tied statehood that does not always fall along prior ethnic or cultural lines is something all sovereign states try to cultivate to stay together, and define the ingroup and outgroup. It's also used to set ideological lines, and to purge perceived connections to an earlier, now-undesirable administration.

Just considering common names, here's a few:

Burma -> Myanmar

Belgian Congo -> Congo -> ??? -> Zaire -> DRC

Persia -> Iran

South Rhodesia -> Rhodesia -> Zimbabwe

Upper Volta -> Burkina Faso

Another year of record corporate cash piles, another year of the same old tired rationalizations for a policy that doesn't make good economic sense but seems tied to the future of the gravy train.

I know all the technical and philosophical arguments in favor of doing this, but most people neither know nor care, and their anger is reaching boiling point. Apple won't be the first target, but when enough people are angry enough to take action that's not going to be any comfort. My advise is use it or lose it, because angry people don't make good listeners.
The US has a very active role in sabotaging the North Korean nuclear and missile programs. It just hasn't been publicized to the same degree as Stuxnet was with the Iranians.

Do foreign investors pay any tax on profits that turn into dividends if the corporate tax rate goes to 0%?

What about on the capital gains that results if the money is used on stock buybacks instead?

If the corporate rate goes to 0%, capital gains and dividends should be taxed as ordinary income, and the top income tax brackets should be pushed up to their historic 1950's levels, and the profits going out to foreign investors needs to be taxed somehow. Trickle down clearly doesn't work, and we need to start fixing this situation.
I know more than a few people whose first introduction to a command line was youtube-dl
That's simply untrue. Did you actually read that somewhere? Because the actual tax makes no such distinctions.

Blast radius + fallout radius. Either you want it as a terror weapon, and pinpoint accuracy isn't needed. Or you want it as a mutually assured destruction deterrent, and you only need so much accuracy to be credible.

Fallout radius for a 15 megaton blast, superimposed on the north eastern US. Anything with numbers (roentgens) above ~500 is fatal, though less than that isn't harmless either: http://nikealaska.org/nuke/CasBravM.gif Much, much bigger than what the DPRK has tested, but the principal is the same. Low tech SCUD level accuracy is fine.

The Nagasaki bomb missed by 3km. It was similar in size to what the DPRK has tested.

And quantity makes up for quality.
They can do anything they like to protect their content, at their own expense.

Again, that's an entirely different thing from trying to force a third party (who is receiving neither money nor the benefit of viewing the content) from going out of their way to enforce those protections (especially if it reduces the usefulness of their own product).
It sounds like it might be a tooling issue. I probably couldn't do this with someone over the phone, but I do this kind of thing all the time with remote colleagues using a screen share.
Yes, but they are no longer distributed to users. I thought that was the original question. I'm keeping them in the database to check for SPAM/multiple submissions mainly.
This is from February. While it's a great idea to tax externalities and let the market determine the optimal solution, the GOP has already once again scuttled the idea.

Yeah, a lot of what Galois does is funded by government grants of one sort or another. While my general opinion of the NSA is not favorable, I think that funding basic research in computer security is a legitimate part of their mission. Since Galois is blogging about it, I presume that the NSA isn't hoarding the technology for themselves. So, I see no immediate issue with them accepting money from the NSA.

Well, "just the paper" isn't really all of it. Since I've started going back to school and learning the fundamental maths and science that I missed out on, I've come to understand how ignorant I am to practically everything. If I had just kept going the path I was on as a web developer, I feel like I would have ended up with a career as a specialized technician, which is something I really don't want. Learning just calculus and basic physics is really blowing my mind and opening me up to completely new ways of thinking.

Yes, everybody noticed. Let us praise NSA for this virtuous act of trying to make the computing more secure.
Yes, or something like it. It wasn't deliberate enough to suggest "branding" to me, per se, but it did mark a change in self-perception, and a change in how Ukrainians wanted to be perceived by the rest of the world.

Slavic languages lack articles, so in Russian and Ukrainian the linguistic phenomenon SerLava describes manifests only as a choice between using the preposition на versus в (which roughly correspond to the English prepostions in and on) to say "in [the] Ukraine". Using на was standard until after Ukrainian independence, but because на connotes being in an open space or in an indeterminate area (as on sometimes does in English , e.g., on Trafalgar square, on the border) whereas в is the usual preposition signifying being inside a definite space, including being inside a country's borders, Ukrainians reacted against the usage of на, feeling it emphasized the "on the borderlands" understanding of what [the] Ukraine was.

Using в quickly became standard in Ukraine, and the choice of в versus на became a sort of liguistic tell to a Russian-speaker's political and cultural tendencies. The distinction between using or not using the definite article in English and other languages followed. Interestingly, I always say Ukraine rather than the Ukraine in English, but I tend to use на in Russian.

So are you recommending that a foreign company should only pay taxes on what they earn in the US, but a US company should pay taxes on everything it earns everywhere? (i.e. the US government should get 36% of the profits even if something is built/sold in another country, just because the company has its headquarters in the US?) You do realize this would put US corporations at a huge disadvantage to corporations in any other country, right? You can imagine some of the unintended consequences.

I think only Eritrea and the US taxes corporations when brining back money into the country. For obvious reasons other countries realized this was not a good approach and don't do that.
Content creators should feel free to do as they please with their content. I, however, as a technologist am saying I will not do anything to help them build software that limits others freedoms, will encourage others not to do so as well, and to whatever degree possible, boycott them and those who help them.

I do believe in licensing though, so your comment motivated me to add a (permissive) license to my website. That's the only good use for it.
Whether anybody parsed it that way is irrelevant; the point is that a lot of the inherent sloppiness came from the SGML roots.
Did you not know one of the NSA mandates is to improve security? It's a dual personality organization to say the least.

They suggested a change to a crypto algorithm to protect it from differential cryptanalysis before that was a public attack. This resulted in a weird dilemma of decided which arm of the NSA was 'helping' because the purpose wasn't public. It wasn't until much later that it turned out to be good.

Is it though? DVD players conform to region code requirements.

And at the time DVDs were launched, many in hacker/geek/whatever circles were pretty horrified by this development. To me, it's more than a little alarming how rapidly we've normalised the idea that end users' devices should be obeying the wishes of content publishers rather than their owners.
*catastrophic climate change. Not that its not changing, since that is literally always true. But that the fear mongers making outlandish predictions haven't been accurate.

The article you cite says that it's about what a corporation "ought" to do. It's not currently part of the corporate charter in the US, and unless explicitly called out, a company is ultimately only responsible for shareholder value. If that means tossing money at the local community so they can continue to do business there, they will do that.
Phonetic spelling is not a property of alphabets, eg, both German and Turkish (appropriately) are phonetically spelled.

Most professional workstations will have at least two ethernet ports. Heck, I've got mITX machines with two ethernet ports.

The other thing I've seen ethernet repurposed for is transmitting HDMI or USB between special transceivers so you can have your PC widely separated from I/O devices. It was a standard approach before Steam Link became a thing.

One of the nice things is that you can get comparatively long runs of ethernet cable without any special equipment. There's absolutely no problem doing 100ft+ runs of CAT5.
> He educated me on the meaning of "Ukraine" being essentially "borderland."

He's probably a speaker of Russian, so he assumes the Russian meaning of the word to be canonical. Which is rather ignorant, because the word has a different meaning in Ukrainian - it literally means 'country'. It is similar in Polish ('country' vs 'edge'/'border'/'region' in Russian) and probably other Slavonic languages.
Learning the Latin script isn't particularly hard nor is the script itself that useful in understanding languages like English. Learning scripts, especially the roman script which only has 26 letters takes about a day. Learning a language takes a lifetime. My experience is with rural India, where even barely literate people know the english letters thanks to road names, bus numbers, government forms and the like. (Roads named the IV-A cross or buses numbered 215C are a dime a dozen Bangalore.)

I believe the Turkic languages are somewhat similar, so this move will immediately give Kazakhs a route into Turkish media and literature. This is probably a good thing given the decline of Russia and Russian.

> Requiring one for many jobs is much more about ensuring applicants belong to the class the employer prefers than any specific education the job requires.

I'm not sure this is the case. A lot of employers probably just require a degree because they get so many applicants and it serves as a lazy filter.

On a practical level it also shows that a given applicant has the tenacity to power through a long term plan and come out successful.

Supposedly a degree is also signal of critical thinking, but this has not been my experience with people at all.
