There's a thing called "chilling effects". People stop talking about "risky" subjects because they know they can get prosecuted arbitrarily for it.

The gameplan is simple:

* Someone says something the government doesn't like.

* A plan is devised to get this person in jail and/or to discredit them and/or to ruin their careers.

* In the case of jail, evidence for a crime is collected (from SIGINT) extralegally, and is used to innocuously find, or let someone else find, admissible evidence for the crime. This is called parallel construction and it is very real.

* Maybe they're only sued with the purpose of discrediting them via the press, while making them unable to keep their jobs. Maybe they're actually put in a cage.

It's not out in the open, but it has similar effects to totalitarianism, especially on the part of the population that is more observant and able to affect policy change.

It's not the same, but lets not pretend the US is a lighting beacon of freedom and democracy. Maybe compared to China, but definitely not when compared to e.g. the Netherlands. (I'm biased though.)
but is the internal tension in the head not partially a result of the combination of rapid cooling and rapid deceleration from water resistance? Dousing a molten glass bead in space would only produce one of these two effects.
No different than any other prevention, or rule. Why shouldn't they be able to? If you moving to my community and doing whatever causes damage to the value of my property that's no different than doing damage to anything else.

It's their community they set the rules. Why have communities or governments, or even countries for that matter? Fundamentally they do the same things.

Why should I not be able to just come live in your house or just build a house in your backyard? Oh you have a great view? Let me just build a huge nonsense wall here and live in a small shack or something. Why not?
Regardless, this shouldn't be possible.

Chrome is supposed to tie them with the single instance you're running. You can't just copy the Chrome folder and transfer it to another location. You'd have to use Chrome's Sync for that. I'm assuming Chrome has been opened at the same time by the OP, allowing Opera to snatch the passwords and other shit, making an intrusion into Chrome's data.

But, on the other hand, I was able to copy the data from a Chrome extension after a system crash on one machine and extract the data to a new machine just fine by reinstalling the extension and then pasting the extension's folder to the same location where it was on the previous machine.

Since that extension was Mailvelope, I would essentially lose a private key in this case if that wasn't possible, since I didn't have the backup of it. Not sure if I would call that bug or a feature.
This is a very cool development. Has anyone written a pytorch or Keras version of the architecture?
Property taxes pay to run the schools, barely. The obvious problem with paying for building new schools from property taxes is that it gives every single existing resident a financial incentive to block new development: they have to pay for all the supporting infrastructure, whilst all of the financial benefits go to the property developers. If there's no provision that says otherwise, they'd probably even have to pay to buy the land for the schools off the property developers.

AFAIK the fappening happened through a security flaw in apple icloud API that allowed for infinite password retries without rate limiting and failure to notice and notify repeated failed attempts.

Yes it still is open source software, but that itself does not mean that it puts user interest before its main income source interest, the point here was that mozilla has a strong stance for refusing to include tracking prevention and ad blocking while marketing itself as privacy minded and user centric software. Says one thing and does another.

What other browsers do or do not is irrelevant to the criticism and trustworthiness of mozilla, but for the record AFAIK there's no telemetry in otter or arora or rekonq or konqueror or pale moon or waterfox or iron or qupzilla or uzbl. Point is free software usually comes without spying mechanisms.
Besides telemetry is only one spying thing among many others that have come and gone or are still in firefox (hello, pocket, automatic geolocation, etc.) and at times disabling them does not actually prevent the behaviour from happening. have a look at the privacy patches for firefox[1] for some examples.

You seem to have missed the point about the objective or market domination, it predates IE but the point was that the vision and priorities are wrong.

That's being said, we hold similar stances here. No trust at all for chrome and opera. A bit of non blind trust for mozilla for lack of a better alternative.

We not only have zones, but we layer on historic districts, parking minimums, setbacks, etc., going further than just not mixing commercial and residential. We mandate certain lifestyles in a pretty big way. A big shock vs. living in Japan where one can choose very different lifestyles.

I also miss the freedom Japanese architects seemed to have, where a building shaped like a treehouse would be just one of several interesting buildings.

For me it's not snoozing, it's auto-snoozing. Who the hell had the idea that an alarm clock should _stop_ after a minute or so? I want an app that does not turn off alarm "due to inactivity", I want it blasting away until I wake up (or my neighbours wake me up by knocking to the doors).
Why would the standard of evidence for US totalitarianism be higher than for Chinese totalitarianism?

Doesn't sound like that's the property owner's problem. They didn't ask for the city to be built around them.
I'm not going to disagree with your point in principle, but pragmatically that is how a lot of people are already using messenger apps. Whether it's having Facebook open in the browser and using FB Messenger, or Electron apps like Slack that have a full instance of Chrome running just for a messenger app.

There's an Australian company that's trying to build a plastics-to-diesel plant in my city, but is facing a lot of local opposition due to pollution and safety concerns - a government health review panel has basically suspended the project until they can provide more evidence of safety.

I'm a native anglophone living in the UK. I abbreviate "something" as "sthg" sometimes. I wouldn't do it in a function/variable/method/class/... name, but then I don't think I'd use "something" as part of such a name in the first place in anything I wasn't very confident would only ever be throwaway code.
My intention was not to compare music notation and dvorak, but write about human behavior in similar situation against the "inertia" you cited.

But then you're asserting that those who live in Palo Alto don't have the right to govern their community. They aren't keeping out newcomers at all, in fact, there are houses for sale in Palo Alto. For some reason people think that living in that area should be affordable. It shouldn't be. Live somewhere else.
I agree with you in principle. Specifically, having the "coastal elites" spread out a bit could also serve to close the political chasm that is threatening to swallow the US.

But, thinking of counterarguments, it appears there is a network effect going on here, i. e. the value (an attractiveness) of a tech hub is proportional to something larger than the sum of its components.
A lot of us come back though. Five years ago I loaded up a truck and moved from Seattle to Toronto.

My wife and I didn't want to settle down in America, even if the money would have been that much better. Seattle is a great city, but it's still very American and that overall American culture never felt like home to us.
Pretty much my approach. When there's a big spike, I just sell it and buy after the crash. Sucks timing t, but when you feel its gone too far I just sell and buy back when it's lower. I'll bite one eventually, I think, but for now, I'm pretty on top.

You've also got to account for the incredible variance in what a hedge fund constitutes when dealing with terminology. Reinsurance, Property, Bonds, Options, FX etc etc

> Both teams played by the same rules and then time ran out and the other team won and it doesn't matter how they won. Future predictions should be based on the win.

> You were late to the job interview because you're a person that screws times up. That's much more useful information than anything you could have contributed at the interview.

I simply don't agree with either conclusion.

If you want to assess the likelihood of a team winning future games based on them winning a particular past game, it absolutely matters how they won that particular past game. If they won through superior skill, strategy and athleticism, one would reach different conclusions than if they won because the opposing team all had food poisoning the night before and only got a few hours sleep, or the opposing team captain broke her leg in the first minute.

I agree that people are not good at assessing the degree to which particular events are due to intrinsic factors vs. random or external factors, and that people are biased to believe events that they believe are undesirable are caused more by random factors and events they believe are desirable are caused more by intrinsic factors. But that doesn't mean that it's impossible to make such determinations with some degree of accuracy and impartiality.

If "the A train had a malfunction" has a reasonable likelihood of occurring (e.g. it breaks down once a month), then perhaps it's reasonable to conclude that someone who is late to an important event because the A train broke down didn't plan their time in an optimal way. But if "the A train had a malfunction" means "the A train broke down while I was riding it to an important interview, and there was no way for me to disembark, and I was trapped for eight hours", that doesn't mean the person who got trapped is bad at planning their time. It means that person was unlucky, and a chaotic, unpredictable event had a negative impact on them.

Turning up eight hours early to every single important event to avoid the tiny chance of a random eight-hour delay spoiling things is, over the course of a lifetime, a worse strategy than turning up one hour early to important events and accepting the slim chance that you might occasionally miss an important event.

> This insistence (I am, myself, guilty) to look for exceptionalism in results rather than accept the obvious data that are being shown to us is something we need to become aware of - and avoid.

But equally, the natural human tendency to believe "everything happens for a reason", and to downplay the (huge) role of randomness on the outcome of all human affairs, is also something to be aware of and avoid.

If I can have it as a sidebar to the web browser, this actually solves multiple problems, biggest of which is screens themselves.

Someone, somewhen, had that bright idea of popularizing 16:9 and 16:10 screens, which are now de-facto standard, and that leads to huge amounts of screen estate being wasted. Most of the users (i.e. those not using tiling window managers on Linux systems) don't have proper tools to manage screen space, and especially web browsers when maximized waste most of it.

So TLDR; yeah, I could use a messenger tab side by side with rest of the browser tabs, because I have a shit ton of useless screen space with a maximized browser window.
I think a more accurate version of Betteridge's law says: when a headline asks a question, the answer is always the less surprising answer. It just happens that usually the more attention-grabbing way to write the headline is the one that makes "no" the less surprising answer.

The Betteridge-compliant version of this article would have been titled "Can we do without the C++ preprocessor?".

> It's not out in the open, but it has similar effects to totalitarianism

It's a very different thing, simply because it cannot be deployed on a large scale. It's equivalent to old-school spycraft of honey-trapping and blackmailing. You can apply this process to a few individuals, but not to everyone without massive effort - the framing and follow-up takes too much manpower - and without risking reputation damage from repeated abuses.

On the other hand, detecting you really broke an openly-accepted law, triggering police intervention and letting the system work as it should, is trivial in the extreme.

Sorry, I'm not a fan of the US system but China is still a step below IMHO.
Maybe. AT&T started deploying FTTN to major cities like Houston and Chicago in 2005-2006 (four years before Fiber). Their gigabit buildout was based on that original plan (which dates to SBC). Comcast has been on the DOCSIS upgrade treadmill for years. In the 7 years before Fiber they went from 8 to 100 upgrading to DOCSIS 2.0 then DOCSIS 3.0. Gigabit is another 10x jump over a similar time frame, based on DOCSIS 3.1.

I think part of it is business constraints. This designer respected Apple's aesthetic but didn't have some manager telling them to make 'Connect' happen.
I'm not from the US and the discussion was mostly about regulations from the states but what I got from it was:
- foreign skilled workforce is from their perspective still to hard to employ (and the Muslim Ban could be an good example for that)
- think about the massive amount of money that Apple has offshore because it's to expensive to bring it back to the US! Put that investment into R&D and the effect would be tremendous.
- I don't know how high the cost for using the public infrastructure is in the US but building it from ground up and managing it by yourself might be cheaper (I assume thats what the Toronto project is all about).
- do some research on costs for positions like "Governmental Relations Manager". google made some bad experiences in China with that
> Or, since we all have widescreen monitors (and often multiple monitors) you could just have your messengers in a window next to the browser instead of a sidebar within the browser.

Except that - unless you're on a tiling WM on Linux - your window manager sucks, and solution like this is barely usable (hard to keep the windows properly aligned, hard to have them simultaneously on the foreground when other windows come into the mix, etc. etd.).

I agree that solutions like that shouldn't be in browsers. But it's cheaper this way for the app vendors...
I opened the second link for the funny title, and its a worthy read.

>Jigsaw has had a multi-year development and feedback period in which the views of other module system creators have been led to substantial design changes again and again. Feedback has been taken from anyone who turned up, even Java nobodies like myself. So given how often Red Hat’s feedback has affected the design of Jigsaw, it seems both petty and wrong to describe it as “cleanroom”, implying it was developed in isolation from the outside world.

>I think we have to cut the Oracle team some slack. They’re attempting to build a module system for the masses, which may entail not supporting out of the box every possible use case that has been put into OSGi or JBoss Modules over the years.
Even if you don't have :80 open, that doesn't mean there isn't a MITM that would accept the connection instead of you.
It really depends on the budget/time that you have. Are you more comfortable with Android or Full-Stack Web? If web, I would say of course build out a web solution and make it mobile friendly (MEAN: MySQL, Loopback, Ng2, Node). If you are comfortable with Android, use Loopback to build a web-app, and mainly focus on building out the APIs that you need, while knocking out the mobile side. It gives you an awesome interface for testing your APIs. Overtime, you can build out the client side of the web-app (I use Ng2) to handle the data management that you will need. Note, this is a lot of customization, so just make sure you have a clear direction before starting, especially with an e-commerce app that could get more complex then initially thought.

Renoise: incredibly accurate timing. Yes demoscene music makers, but it's also exceptional at producing anything that's got to have incredibly tight timing. It even excels at sending MIDI data without jitter.

Also, as the heir apparent of the tracker movement (its audio can be a heck of a lot better than the early generations of trackers, and it's happy to work with multichannel DACs for outboard analog mixing) it offers a distinct way of thinking about sound-making: that old 'tracker' way of composing. Since it's based on audio samples of arbitrary fidelity, it's not restricted to 'demo-y' sounds: you can just as well use huge 24-bit high sample rate sounds, or use it as a way of layering audio tracks as one might in a DAW.

I'm not involved with Renoise as a company, BTW, but I AM completely charmed by it and own both it and Redux (the DAW plugin version).

I used Python to generate C++ with a utility I wrote called "PythonPP":
http://matracas.org/utiles/index.html.en

One of the things it did was to generate the function prototypes so that a typical .h file would look like this:

#!from base_cc import *
#""// Clase: ${project_part_name}
#""// Proyecto: ${project_name}
#!import time
#""// Fecha: ${time.strftime("%A, %d de %B de %Y, %H:%M:%S %Z", time.localtime(time.time()))}
#""${cc_copyright_notice("GPL", "2001, 2002, 2003, 2007, 2010")}

#""#ifndef _H_${project_part_name}
#""#define _H_${project_part_name}

#""${cc_function_includes_for_class()}
#""${cc_variable_global_declarations_for_class()}

#""class ${project_part_name}
{
#""${cc_variable_declarations_for_class()}
#""${cc_function_protos_for_class()}
};

#""${cc_operator_protos_for_class()}

#endif

The .cc file was similar, calling Python functions to get the function definitions from separate files: I built one directory for each class, where I would put each big function or several related small functions in its own file, and they would be found and combined automatically.

For each class, there was a vars.cc file which contained member variables, with their declaration line, initialization and destruction in consecutive lines: the declaration went to the .h file, the initialization to the constructor, and the destruction to the destructor. This way I avoided forgetting to release something and had a good overview of all variables and their life cycles.

Here is an example of generating constant names from a Python list:

#!for token_id in lexer_table:
#" " case TOKEN_ID_${token_id[1]}:
#' ' cerr << "\n --- [" << index_of_current_character
#" " << "] TOKEN_ID_${token_id[1]} '" << buffer << "'"
#' ' << endl << flush;
#' ' break;

The same idea was also used in the Bison/Yacc grammar file:

#!%token <markup> T_QMATH_DIRECTIVE
%token <markup> T_DIRECTIVE_DEFINITION
%token <markup> T_DIRECTIVE_CONTEXT
for d in qmath_directives:
#" "%token <markup> T_DIRECTIVE_${d.upper()}

I've used it also for other languages like Java where it cuts down the boilerplate. For instance, the package names are automatically generated from the file path.
