It's much, much more than that. Every single billboard and half the TV ads before referendum were ads telling people to vote "yes".

People didn't even know what they were voting for.

The censorship is a fact, only its justification is in dispute.
Some funny gems:

> You will remain a replaceable silhouette with no discernible identity.

> This isn't C or C++, where you just include files like a caveman.

>The upside is, you will curse it at compile-time instead of at runtime. The downside is, "exploratory programming" means exploring how to convince the compiler to let you try an idea.

After that it gets a bit more serious, but still a very good Saturday afternoon read.
We do not ask you to declare war, but politically censuring (not censoring) people who abuse their power would have a great effect.

Even if you don't do that, just don't support them: For example, it'd be great if trump didn't call erdogan after referendum to congratulate him.
The parent post also defends your right of moving away from a border, you know.
As someone living in Cyprus an island who has serious issues with Turkey, overthrowing Erdogan scares me more than Erdogan being a dictator.

At this point at least we know Erdogan's issues stay inside Turkey. If someone unsuccessfully tries to overthrow him no one can predict what his reaction will be. From invading Greece to a civil war that will end with hundreds of thousands dead.

If he is successfully overthrown, we'll have a new Iraq for a decade before the area stabilizes. Either way there's no clean solution.
So what was that you were saying about "trying to fix governments being pointless"? Or is this proposal not "a government" in your eyes.

This is sounding pretty much like a parliamentary or congressional system. (yes, congresses do exist that differ from the US')

Let's count the signs.

Applying to emotion ("the blood, the pictures of bodies torn by bullets").

Showing only one side of the story (ignoring all the people who were able to defend themselves with a gun). "Rafi Colon was shot once in the abdomen with a 9 mm handgun during a home invasion in September 2005." Did Rafi have a gun in the house? Did he fight back? If no, why? Did Lamont Randell have a gun to defend himself from robbers? If no, why not?

Using non-neutral language ("gun violence" makes as much sense as "asphalt violence").

Knowing little about guns (AK-47s are pretty rare in the US because of the NFA).

Concentrating on the symptom rather than the cause. Addressing gang violence or rethinking war on drugs is not as easy as saying "guns are bad, amirite?"

The BMW i3 is a really nice car to drive around London for short trips. There's a pretty good charging infrastructure through ChargeNow and the car is nippy. It takes a short while to get used to the regenerative braking system and I particularly like the rear mounted camera for parking.
Censorship is the suppression of undesirable information. Data on climate change is now being suppressed because it is undesirable to the POTUS.

The US Gov. has many branches and is not one consistent entity. The administration choosing the censor other branches is censorship.

Reposting my comment from another place here, as it kinda applies to this too, especially the second sentence:

> Every single billboard and half the TV ads before referendum were ads telling people to vote "yes".

> People didn't even know what they were voting for.
I saved this comment from jlcfly from an AskHN that was answered a long time ago.

"Teach them to be better than you. That may seem counterproductive. I have a type A personality, and I have decent coding skills. I've been in your situation a number of times. I also know there's these mythical expert developers out there that I can't seem to find (or afford). So, what to do? A few years ago I realized that if I continue down this path, I'll end up with some serious health issues due to the stresses that come along with having a reputation for being a really good developer.
So, I decided that instead of searching for developers better than me, I would teach developers I work with how to BE better. It's taken a lot of patience. And it's taken me quite a bit to LET GO of my way of doing things. I had to take my ego out of the picture. (VERY hard to do.)
Nowadays, I realize that developers don't have to BE better than me. I simply have to ALLOW them to do what they do without being so obsessive about it. Turns out, even junior developers really CAN do good work. They just need a little guidance that only comes with experience, and then they need me to get out of their way."

When I lived in Germany a lot of the Turks I knew were very right wing. They were against asylum seekers and would have kicked out foreigners if they could have. The people in the US who are against big government while receiving government pensions remind me a little of that mindset.
Haha, doubly amazing comment. That's indeed a very very possible reason. Same thing happened in France, people not impacted by a new airport all voted for it, people near the landing lanes voted against.

Also, there was an article about learned helplessness, how to craft depression into animals by confusing their brain when searching for way to stop suffering. Very similar root cause.
Turkey has a very harsh rural/cosmopolitan split, just like the US has.

On top of that, the last election (the turn the President into Sultan) had massive fraud and any critical media has been jailed.

As a Turk, I'm actually happy that we were told that we can't join at all due to the referendum results. Not for me, I see myself similar to the friend you talked about, with a western culture, wanting to get off but failing, but for Europe. Allowing the 51% to roam around Europe would seriously damage the level of culture and freedom you have reached.
The spirit of the desire for a robust yet useable module system i believe is at odds between Oracle and the community. A middle approach while seemingly sensible is less attractive to the community. What works for core modules may not work for the (regardless of what some may call design flaws) more complex and more important community modules.

The community made Java what it is today. This system is supposed to support the community more so. You could say that the problems were created.

Without the community Oracle would not have the resources to sustain Java.
The Buddhist Pali canon is filled with remarks of non-violence and non-killing by the Buddha at every turn. One cannot claim that Buddhism is a violent religion based on this. Monks in the Theravada tradition are disallowed from eating meat given to them if they know or suspect it had been killed for their puspose, for example.

Caffeine is an ubiquitous substance - so I wonder if these performance tests were done on people who had never used caffeine before, or at least use caffeine only rarely.

I'd assume the study would have told these people not to consume caffeine until they arrived at the study. If these people were regular caffeine users the positive effects could just be that the caffeine they were given alleviated the withdrawl symptoms of going without caffeine all day until the study.

To provide you refuge from the inevitable deluge of sarcastic comments in this comment section, here is a genuine/sincere comment: I like cats.

They literally just searched out "/s". Clever. Though I'm guessing the "independently verified" entailed reading a lot of those comments.

Did they also read through the nonlabelled comments to catch any unlabelled sarcasm? (Guessing not since the pitch is of "self labelled sarcasm") wonder if that'll trip any usage up.

Edmund -- that would be a "climate change denier" position.

Since climate is always changing, the effect of climate change cannot be, and will never be, fully realized.

The question then becomes "when will that retro-active action be allowed"? What triggers that certainty?
Pulled up by the Bitfinex price being included - but the purported "price" in Bitfinex isn't realisable, because you can't get any hard currency (not just USD) out of Bitfinex!

Remember that the recent flash crash on GDAX ($1184 -> 6 cents) was courtesy just 100BTC of trades. I question the degree to which Bitcoin can be said to have a realisable "price".
Well, it pretty much is. Everyone's concerned with how many eggs they're dealing with. But the basket's falling apart. It's not like we haven't already had situations where banks have found themselves completely unable to process payments for weeks at a time. And it's only going to get worse.

If gameplay mapped well onto OOP then the big game companies would use it, and not data-driven programming (specifically, entity-component systems). I think that there are a couple things that require OOP-style dynamic dispatch, but they don't need to be pervasive, even a function pointer stored as a struct member is more than enough to provide all the benefits of OOP without having to take on all the drawbacks.
I must confess that I too watch RT sometimes. I was initially drawn to them by the total openness of their broadcasting — I could go to their website and either watch RT America live or watch recordings of any of their major programs. I have never seen other networks do so (perhaps with the exception of Bloomberg) — and I looked at CNN, Fox, and BBC at least. So at least for this RT deserves some credit.

Now, having watched RT from time to time over a certain period, I learned to distinguish between the shows that blatantly push the Kremlin agenda, and others that do not necessarily do so and are more interested in being a non-mainstream platform of inquiry into the world affairs, and of criticism of the world policies rather than being a carrier of the Russian point of view.

Also, I couldn't help wondering about what it is that ostensibly makes RT so different from other media networks. It seems to me that if RT is propaganda (which it very well may be) then so is CNN, or MSNBC, or Fox, or even BBC. I don’t know. Perhaps, despite all my attempts to resist, I am infected by the Russian propaganda beyond cure.
That's not how it would work. Trump doesn't change his mind, he merely progresses to a point where he pretends that something he said in the past doesn't actually exist and the fact that people talk about it is a liberal media lie and fake news.

That sounds susceptible to a lot of "tragedy of the commons" problems. It's hard enough to make the top-10 nations collaborate against climate change - good luck with hundreds or thousands of small communities.

Similarly, this looks like a world in which few rights or standards could be taken for granted, because everything is decided in local committees or "multilateral" deals between some groups of communities: Whether you'll be allowed to trade with or travel into another community will depend on the specific rules and agreements your and the other community decided to take part in.

In those negotiations, communities with natural advantages will likely be able to make better deals and increase their advantage, which may lead to a growing inequality between communities.

Finally, who is going to run large-scale infrastructure like roads, water, the electric grid, the internet, etc? If history is any indication, some gib private actors or a small number of powerful communities. Other communities will have to negotiate with them to be allowed access to the infrastructure - which is great for the private actors because this means there is absolutely no one who has any leverage over them...
(see below for update about Android 6.0+)

Depends on the phone and if they use passive or active probing [1]. I also do not see a way to disable it globally yet as it's currently in the Google Issue Tracker [2]. Some say it's meant to be passive by default however Android documentation doesn't specifically state this [3].

"The existence of an hidden function to start an active scan (reported here) suggests that the normal scanning function is indeed passive. This is to be taken with a grain of salt, though, as the Android documentation doesn't explicitly tell if the function WifiManager.startScan() is passive or not." [3]

Looks like iOS randomizes the MAC address while scanning for WiFI networks since iOS 8 (should be noted that it says "may not always be the device's real (universal) address" [4].

[4] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7864813

edit2
After some more reading supposed Android 6.0 solves this issue by randomizing the mac address as well, however the user in this blog tested it and was able to still get the original MAC address [5].

[5] https://urbanjack.wordpress.com/2016/03/04/game-over-for-wif...

edit3
After even more reading it's kind of hard to tell what devices are affected and who isn't (Some say Google phones aren't affected and it's just OEM phones, however others claim that some Google phones are still affected by this issue). The only way to get this fixed globally is to have a security push to all supported versions that by default disables it globally then a user can enable it by choice. Considering the spaghetti mess of who is using it by default and who is not.

edit4
I agree with many on that the MAC randomization isn't really a good idea because some networks assign IPs based on the MAC address and to address that issue only the probing/scanning packets have the spoofed MAC address. All a hacker would have to do is create a network with the spoofed SSID and get the user to connect with the real MAC address thereby circumventing the randomization technique.
The majority of rural voters anyway. In the latest voting he had low support in major centres. His control of the media is key to controlling the public vote, especially in rural areas. So supporting the free press, and anti-censorship technology, is a great way to support democracy in Turkey.
Does Haskell/GHC do this in practice, either when using the techniques in the article, or a library like `vector-sized`?
The i3s that I see in London don't appear to be plugged in, they seem owned by people who don't have that at home. I presume they plug in at work but without knowing that there is no way for knowing for sure.

Are people buying these things, doing a small amount of miles with them and powering them from the petrol engine on-board rather than plugging in? In that way getting preferential parking spaces at airports and in the city centre, no congestion charge needed? I am fine with people using them in 'Prius mode' if it does mean people that did rule out electric due to not having home infrastructure can actually go 'electric lite', running off petrol and opportunistic charging.
Jimmy Wales facts (2010)
I think you are conflating issues here.

Obviously virtualbox users do not need data center level security and should not have to deal with that complexity, and naturally choose not to, and use virtualbox.

You have turned a simple observation about the complexity of libvirt's configuration and the resulting traction of virtualbox on Linux into a discussion on data centers, 1000's of VMs, and security. This seem to be talking around the issue so this discussion is moot.

Are you saying selinux, apparmor and seccomp cannot be used on qemu processes without libvirt?
Blaming misguided voters only has merit when freedom of the press is available and people have access to news that does not have significant pro-government bias. Turkey was ranked #155 out of #180 evaluated countries on this year's RSF list [1]. If the government controls the information that the people have access to, it is a little difficult to expect a legitimate democracy, which requires more than simply valid elections.

Just want to point out that majority of Turks in Germany(and some other EU states) are labourer immigrants that went there during 1960-1980. If you take United States instead where the Turks living there belong to a more elite class, you will see significantly more no vote. It seems expats are divided in terms of world view according to where they live.
Totally agree. Have a look at some controversial pages if you've never encountered one, like this one:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_assignment

I'm triggered so here's my soapbox:

Wikipedia currently undermines the idea that human beings have a sex that is grounded in biological reality, and pushes the notion of "sex assigned at birth", the unreality of biological sex and the reality of transgenderism as non-mental-illness while it is a debilitating condition that often results in suicide, along with ideas like that gender reassignment surgery is not mutilation while it does for instance include (in the case of MTF surgeries) full castration and results in infertility.
I would like to believe this, but this feels like one of those conclusions that flip 180 degrees every few years, depending on who you ask. I have very little trust in nutritional science for these kinds of things.

I think it would be best considered as having limited utility, but folks who need a quick sugar boost like diabetics and endurance athletes can take advantage of sugar's characteristics.
Ok. I genuinely don't understand what you were trying to say about DamonHD's credibility. Would you explain?

In your first post, you describe John Taylor as a shill. Then you segue that into a discussion of DamonHD's hardware project and posting history. The implication is clearly that you think he is a shill too.

But they voted him many times before, it was apparent where he was heading.
You don't need dynamic types to allow hot reloading, as long as a function has the same absolute path and type signature it can be done. I'm pretty sure miri[0] plus some compiler hooks would allow this, although it would need to reach nearly speed-parity with debug code if not release code. Hot reloading and/or repl-driven development is my number one programming desire right now, and Rust is my most-used language, so this would be life-changing for me.

Also, Scheme and CL allow free reign on data mutation and RDD/HS work fantastically in them

Judging from the website that looks like buzzword trash and the worst blog spam ("21 pet death which makes you love", "These 17 twins have dating problems ... here is why")
maybe it isn't an issue anymore, but i meant education in a broader sense, not just software engineering.

i grew up in a remote village and the library was 45 minutes away on the bus. (also, thank god for child fares.) i loved that place. but it wasn't an english speaking country, so apart from badly translated novels and technical books that were 20 years out of date, the only good thing they had were CDs of classical music.

my exposure to technical and academic topics (anything outside the basic stuff they teach at school: philosophy, economics, psychology, "modern" physics, computer science, etc) as well as english/american language and culture is pretty much all down to the internet - and pirating.

and it isn't like i had a hard life. this was in a first-world country, so the education system was okay and i was completely healthy.

i agree that today, pirating might not be necessary - except if you're interested in music (jazz, blues, etc) or modern-ish films. the courses that american universities put out for free are absolutely fantastic. in fact, most of my bona fide CS knowledge comes from MIT CS courses which i worked through years later. because when you learn something yourself, it usually involves more experimentation and doing, and less formal theory.
