Just FYI, Youtube is heavilly sensored in the Czech Republic (we have very strong laws against political extremism, like jail time for extreme right wing speech..). But I don't know of any actual domains that are blocked. The government doesn't need a great firewall to censor. They can simply slap a 2 year jail sentence on anyone who shares a right wing video and that's enough to get youtube to censor itself.

Edit: I mean extreme right wing, like KKK, nazi stuf ect.
AFAIK, Tor is blockable because the list of relays is public, and accesses may invite scrutiny from the authorities. This is a dictator who's reportedly already imprisoned thousands of common people.

What I do is buy inexpensive server time from common providers in US or Europe, run a SOCKS tunnel over ssh to that server, and bypass blocks. It'll appear to be like any other SSH access.

If I need to post something to a website that should not be tracked back to my own address or my server address, I run tor daemon on the server and use it as a second SOCKS proxy to proxy the requests the server is forwarding.

I'm not in Turkey but I'm in a country that's taking an authoritarian turn and may become like Turkey in 5 to 10 years. Good idea to keep all the tools and know-how ready now, and start covering tracks early.

> If I ask you something involving “numbers from 1 to 100” you will have your own image of the series in your head, even without realizing it. For example, I imagine it as a line going from me with numbers from 1 to 20, then it turns 90 degrees to the right and continues to the 1000+.

Actually no, perhaps you're not aware of this, but you have a condition called spatial-sequence Synesthesia. It's a harmless and fascinating condition in which the senses have arbitrary connections to each other (numbers have colours, sounds have tastes). Many people are unaware of it. I've only heard of it because a friend at university (and also a Synesthete) researches it.

Misleading title. Buddhism, as any other religion, can't be violent. Only ignorant non-practicing people can be. Some rogue monks do not represent a religion, they're just another tool of the Thai junta, just like the Pakistan governement is instrumentalizing muslim leaders into terrorism for political motives.
We've been transmitting for less than 150 years, our species has been around for what is now believed to be 250k or so years, life on earth is about 4 bln years old.

Even if we continue to survive as a technological species for another 1000-5000 years and not push ourselves to extinction even if we go 10,000 years it's still a spec on the timeline of our galaxy not to mention our universe.

It's very likely that life is very common, technological species might also be common but this is on universal time scales it's also pretty likely that because species and entire planets go extinct all the time that the they simply do not overlap on universal time scales.

If cities decide that The Boring Company is the way forward and it turns out not to be, that's lost opportunity cost and likely decades of people suffering increasingly poor transport infrastructure leading to more wasted time and less time that people can spend doing important things, like spending time being a productive member of society (not necessarily working a job - things like spending time with family and friends, educating oneself, etc etc, come under this).

I think it's cyclical-- remember the original consumer internet was based on portals such as MiniTel, CompuServe, AOL, Prodigy, then the portal concept shifted to a search/Google based "portal" as people wanted content access outside of the curated portal content.

Walled garden devices are pretty irrelevant though because unless that wall blocks the internet, there is little effect. Current walled gardens are about application security and not about actual content-- the most locked down iPhone can still access the open internet -- so device walled gardening has nothing to do with information access generally.

Also the obsession with "stopping fake news" coming from the American left is what's causing Google and Facebook to respond -- they couldn't care less about fake news -- they are responding to market pressures. Google and Facebook aren't leading the charge against fake news in the US -- leftist activists are the ones screaming the loudest because they are still fuming about Trump.

In Europe, its governments that are pressuring companies to censor things -- for example the so-called right to be forgotten. Governments are the problem not the companies -- at least in Europe.

Why would Facebook or Google care about fake news? They don't -- until a major portion of their constituencies start howling about it. Fakebook and Google weren't unilaterally concerned about content veracity -- until a large segment of people started complaining about it.
In the past being honorable was important because of unwritten social rules. Today those rules have to be written down because there is no longer any consequence for exploiting people as long as you are within the letter (not the spirit) of the law.

I deeply empathize with people who've had their IP stolen by offshore entities.

But, especially with big manufacturers like Cisco (mentioned in the article), a lot of the problems are of their own doing. There is an ancient proverb: as you sow, so shall you reap.

So, what the fuck did those big companies think would happen to their designs once they shipped them off to China to manufacture? Or, even better, after they subcontracted the actual design of their products to offshore entities?

Surprise ... surprise ... surprise ... there are plenty of smart engineers and plenty of greedy capitalists to be found all over Asia. Why did you give them such a head start with your products? The stories are legion of factories making legitimate products during the day and counterfeits of those very same products at night.

Cloning electronics is hard compared to consumer goods. Why is it that a Coach handbag can be purchased so cheaply in China? Maybe because Coach does their manufacturing in Asia? Maybe because if a handbag can be made in Asia for $50, there are plenty of people who would be happy to purchase it for $100 instead of the $1000 that Coach is selling it for?

> I don't want to force cars on anyone - it should be an individual choice of course.

Ah, and this is where we come to the root of the discussion. Because ultimately the question isn't "Why would ANYONE want to drive cars" (though I confess it was originally presented to you as such), but rather "Why should society and governments INCENTIVIZE continued use of cars."

The Boring Company's proposal here directly benefits people like you (and by the way me - I also love my car), those who can afford that privilege.

But our tax dollars and policies should be going towards systems that benefit the most people, and that will only happen in North America if we fall out of love with the "freedom" promised by our cars and realize that waiting 2-5 minutes at two different transfers, with a total trip length of 15-25% longer (optimistic, but that is realistic in cities with good public transport) is a worthwhile tradeoff for the greater good.
My point was more in response to the OP's comment about contradictory ideas and circular logic.
interesting view regarding the effects on media.

concerning the educational aspect, i'm not sure what exactly you mean. while today e.g. software engineering knowledge is all out there, back then there was no github and stackoverflow and i had to learn a lot from books (basic, c, assembler). the freely available resources were lower quality, that is tutorials by crackers or demo scene coders.

i completely lost interest in pirated media these days as they provides minimal value to me. the few albums/movies/games which are relevant to me, i'm easily able to buy. the only exception might indeed be textbooks on specialized technical topics, which often aren't of interest for the warez scene audience.
How to Get Mapped with GPS Tracking Application ?
I was in your shoes about 10 years ago. Teaching myself to code by building an app I wanted for myself.

My first app, I had a vision for, I knew exactly how I wanted it to work and look. It came out just as I had hoped.

My second app was much more popular, but looked TERRIBLE, a few blogs wrote reviews of my app and everybody commented about how awesome it was and how horrible it looked.

Things were going well enough that I hired a designer, and WOW what a difference. It wasn't just the visual design, but the actual flow of how things worked, a miracle worker. Such an improvement.

As I've continued, sometimes I have a vision of what I want, and I just build to that, and then go from user feedback, other times I get completely stuck on what I want the app to look like, and I'll find a designer to help.

So, I've done both, and it depends. Some developers are great at design, I'm not one of those, but what I'd suggest is that, though design is important, I think some apps can get a following without great design. Once you see a bit of traction, then you can think about what needs to happen design wise.

Another thing I've learned, from a design perspective, is that white-space is your friend. Find a consistent layout, I've found users flexbox to be very helpful in making css layout very easy.

I love EFI! No more bootloaders!!!! Just rename your bzimage bzimage.efi, put it on a FAT fs, and select it with the firmware!
What i found out is that i rarely take the time to lern something in depth because i mostly learn stuff to use it and tutorials seem to move at a way to slow pace, so i mostly skip them... i started out with C/C++ development but am unable to keep up with the new standards. I see people write really nice code but whenever i sit down i just keep reusing what i know.

Is this such a bad thing? Maybe I'm just trying to justify my own lack of motivation, but I've never been able to learn anything related to programming, or computers in general, unless I had a reason to. The times that I've learned something have been when there was a tangible goal, or I was working on some personal project that I was interested in.

So I guess if you want that boiled down into a (highly inelegant) technique, it would be: have some personal project that you want to do and stumble through it; by the end you'll have learned a bunch of new stuff. Note: I wouldn't recommend doing this in a professional or safety-critical context...
Next post: "Good idea, okay throwaway account but me here, result is ..."
This slide show is a follow-up to [0]. I'd argue the context is more interesting than the content. The original article is a kind of counterweight to survivorship bias. What happens when an artist in his early twenties gets some glimmers of potential success as a professional artist, and then goes down the rabbit hole for about a decade only to find that their work is seen as mediocre?

From the article:

Soon, I went to get Roberta. I told her the news [about rediscovering his art] and asked her to come see. She came into my office and started looking. For a long time. Longer than I had. One by one. Studying, not saying a word. After a while she turned to me and said, “They’re okay.” Stricken, I said, “Okay?! What do you mean ‘okay’? I think they’re beautiful. Aren’t they great?” She turned back to the drawings, looked a little longer, and finally said, “They’re generic. And impersonal. No one would know what these are about. And what’s with the triangles? Are they supposed to be women?” I shot back, “No! They’re Hell!” She talked about how many artists “never get better than their first work.” And just like that, I was right back to where I was when I quit: crushed, in crisis, frozen, panicky.

In case anyone doesn't know, Erdogan is enriching himself and his family by having Daesh/ISIS/Islamic state deliver oil to him at bargain prices and selling it, mostly within Turkey:

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/wikileak...

(and Google for it, there is a lot of proof of this)

So let's stop pretending that this is done due to justice or even legal "right". This is being done to hide the crimes of the people in power. In this case, yes, crimes, specifically the government selectively applying the laws, corruption, and the like.

It is not being done for justice, to protect anyone's reputation from falsehoods, or ... it's just being done to hide crimes by the government.
It is a very human trait to stick with a choice once made, even if the information that led to that decision turns out to be faulty and the decision itself no longer makes sense. Loss of face, stubbornness, a refusal (subconscious or not) to admit our own fallibility, for any one person there can be plenty of reasons to stick with a faulty decision.

But what always puzzles me in these horrific accounts of abuse by a system is how all the people that are part of it somehow allow for this human trait to seep into the system itself. What goes on in their minds? Is it something to do with a fear of unjustly triggering a series of (costly) events that might exonerate an innocent man? A fear of personal consequences in case they proved guilty after all? Or is it simply always someone else's problem — even if you were the governor himself?

They know their email and ID - so it's targeted. Without this information it is generic and easily spotted. Quoting your repository is a lot more personal and believable.

Additionally you can use the previous warning emails to really target somebody as one of the few that need "further recovery/security" steps. This is a security issue.
Let me see if I can follow the logic.

There are people in turkey that are more western.

These people would leave turkey if possible, but they can't.

This is making turkey less western?

Wouldn't that have the opposite effect? The west is generally responsible for the brain drain in less successful countries. Throwing borders up will keep those people who share our views in those countries. It's a fair bet that those people will be the force for good change in their governments more likely within their country than outside it.

That is quite theoretical. The issue is that the GUI libraries are in one huge module with everything from JavaBeans to sound. It is quite likely that you have an indirect dependency to JavaBeans so you'll likely end up having to deploy AWT, Swing, PLAF, sound and what not even if your application is headless.

The two magic protons used to conduct surveillance anywhere on Earth from a far off planet, and even change happenings on Earth to a degree, is an idea many Chinese people would instantly recognize through first-hand experience. There's the connection for the original intended readers of the book. Only a few Western readers of the translated book would be able to identify closely with the concept of always being watched, and perhaps that idea wouldn't come across as speaking personally to them.

The AI doesn't "See the opponent" as humans do, like if there is a enemy transport incoming, a human opponent would prioritize it, micro around to destroy it, evac/spread out worker units before it lands(e.g. defending against reaver drops) and prevent/stop it from leaving(removing future threat).

An AI would react to the transport as some data item in its to-do list and not recognize the threat of drop UNTIL it landed, just following the script and being purely reactive.
A human player is proactive, he doesn't follow 'the script' and adapts to real-time events, even changing build orders to adapt to enemy army. These bots micro is geared to just win local battles(mini-scripts), not to read-ahead and prepare.

In tactics and micro, despite having higher-APM and reaction speed, humans have more nuanced understanding of tactics depending on terrain/unit positioning, while bots rely on brute-force and simple repeatable actions, limited by their programming.
Unlike complete information on the board, RTS forces these "rapid plan changes" where things occur 'out of the script' and AI has no idea how to fight it, making mistakes and losing resources. AI is blind to future threats and implications of build orders, while humans always send spies and try to predict enemy future plans.
Knowing that enemy has 3 expansions instead of 2 means alot to human player, while AI wouldn't see when it loses attack opportunity window against weaker expansions(due less army units).
Good article. He missed out the main pro though (and literally the only reason I ever use any Lisp): hot swapping. The ability to change code on the fly as the program is running. For this to actually work you need 2 things:

1. No explicit types: Everything in Clojure is just a list or hash map, so I can add extra members to anything at runtime no problem. The amount of static checks Rust does at compile time makes this non viable.

2. Fully immutable data structures: If my changes cause exceptions, then the program can just rewind and throw away the new state it was building, let me fix the error I made, and then continue on as if I never committed the broken code. In Rust an exception would mean I've potentially mutated state in a bunch of places, and now can't get back to the previous working state at all.
