iCloud is impressive and is easily on a scale that most companies will never reach. But Google and Facebook are on an entirely different level. The comparison isn't even close. iCloud isn't a rival. It's more of a distant cousin.

They definitely deserve credit for making it work because even at their scale it's an amazing feat. But there's no comparison to Google or Facebook's scale.
Remember that Roosevelt's famous "four freedoms" included two "freedom of" and two "freedom from".

The "freedom from" elements have been de-emphasised lately as they're extremely unpopular with the right-wing:

"The third is freedom from want—which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants—everywhere in the world.

The fourth is freedom from fear—which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor—anywhere in the world."
The media, especially in the UK, also hound victims' families for profit. In the past with the infamous phone-hacking scandal, and this week chasing families of the missing (in this sad case later confirmed fatality).

I can avoid reading such journalism but the vast population is attracted to car crashes and will look.

There is no 'real ISIS'. There's only people closer and further from the center who share the same ideals. That's the point: the media connects them.

No, certain things are done by people who identify themselves as ISIS symathisers

I will refrain from answering to such attacks. As you seem to know better, I'm waiting for your patches.
I agree, but let's say why we are doing it; we want to look better than the rest.

There's nothing wrong with it. These days it just might backfire though. "Hay--what's fancy boy trying to hide? Ability?"

I got used to dressing for work, and occasions. I still tuck my shirts in. I would never wear a hoodie to work, or even cringe saying hoodie.

I always refused to wear the noose for men--the Tie.

I wish that adornment was relegated to The Smithsonian.

Never saw the need. It was always in my way. Never liked the feeling of them around my neck. Plus--I'm color blind, so matching always enticed small talk, "That's a in--teresting
Tie?"

I am so glad the younger generation toned down the business garb. I got to hand it to Zuckerburg. Keep those tees, and jeans. I hope he's 80, and still dressing down.

I'm at the point now, where I question the ability of the fashion plate at work. And that goes for both genders.

Let's play, "why isn't my use case the only use case."
Start a revolution. I'm only half joking.

I think we can't solve these problems within the current political and economical and system. We have to found a new radical political movement.

A lot of the problems we face: the crisis of representational democracy, populism, unemployment, xenophobia, the surveillance state, terrorism, ... cannot be solved individually, but I believe must be fixed simultaneously.

We got to get over the fear of the last 40 years against dreaming up Utopias. We should look at the past, at western democracy, socialism, meritocracy, communism, and see what worked and what didn't, and come up with an alternative. It will be as big a break as hundreds of years ago when people came up with the idea of a republic in absolutist times.

And here's why I believe the movement will grow: we can make the same promises Trump made, about prosperity, keeping one's identity, leading a meaningful life again... But as opposed to him, we can actually fulfill these promises.

And then we become really powerful, create parallel structures, and question the power of governments head on. It worked several times in history.

I'm intentionally leaving the deals vague, since I can't speak for everybody. But I believe core values will be tolerance, individual rights, decentralism, and openness to learn from mistakes and change.

I know it sounds crazy, but I think we won't get more freedom without a major rewrite or at least refactoring of society...
>I turn it off and go home.

Define 'bad'. Or indeed 'ethical'. There's an awful lot of abstracted money around that sees (to the extent abstractions can see anything) Uber and its boss as the best thing ever, specifically because all the behavior is designed to increase money.

If all that energy was put towards a goal of tormenting red-headed pipe-fitters and their families, there's no way things would have gone on this long. But it's to increase money, so by definition UNTIL it fails and all the money is lost, it's not simply okay but admirable and to be emulated.

If the money buys immunity from any such accountability…
Suppressing when attackers are muslim does not equal equating all muslims with terrorists. Wtf. Lets not censor our news for any reason, nor sensationalize it.
Missing in media reports about these things is the connection between action (our foreign military mis-adventures) and reaction (terrorist attacks).

About a month ago we celebrated the mother of all bombs that flattened what amounted to a small village in Afghanistan. We were told that it killed ONLY 90 terrorists, assuming the vast area it affected was inhabited only by the killed terrorists. Not a single civilian was killed, we were told.

The pilot and his crew are our heroes.

Somewhere there's an Afghan from that flattened area. Even if he doesn't subscribe to ISIS/Taliban ideology, he can't be too happy.

Most people in his position would feel that they have a score to settle. And when he has the opportunity, we don't make the connection.

He's a terrorist, but we have our heroes.

Sometimes I feel like crying, not for the dead (that won't help them), but for the rest of us still alive.

This is pretty much the very same problem the German BND has right now, I'd guess pretty much any intelligence service which conducts mass surveillance has this problem of "surveil everything, except stuff from your domestic population".

How to find out if your target belongs to the domestic population without looking into any content of that target? German BND supposedly does some of the filtering by country domain extension i.e. users with a "@xyz.de" mail address are supposedly exempted from BND scrutiny.

Which is of course yet another flawed approach because not every German has a .de mail address. Case in point, I have an account with German mail provider GMX that ends on .net. That method would also make it stupidly easy to evade any scrutiny by the BND.

Imho this is a problem that doesn't have a good solution or any solution at all, for this to actually work in reality security services would need to be clairvoyant.
That's funny, the last time I worked for a Fortune 500 company, I received major accolades for the cost savings and SLA improvement I achieved thanks to--get this--my knowledge of data structures an algorithms.

If you don't know math, you can't argue you don't need it. You obviously never learned to use the tools available to you, so you don't know what you're missing out on.
Well, I have a few problems with that:

Firstly, they don't clearly explain that the figures aren't inflation-adjusted. You have to surmise that. And we're talking about line graphs. I think you are seriously overestimating the number of people who will think to do the conversion and follow through, rather than just looking at the general direction of the chart and a few figures.

I am not sure what you mean when you say that "sometimes deceptive conversions are the problem," but in my view there isn't much reason to produce a line graph for something like average salary over time or average social spending over time as a line graph without inflation-adjusted figures unless you either are ignorant of the issues with such data or intend to mislead people (and indeed such graphs are quite misleading since the numbers go up but not apace with inflation). I can't see much legitimate interest in such a graph.
Mentions edlin on DOS as well. I remember having to use that now and again.
Haha, I don't know why you are writing about Trump but no: I don't trust him or anybody else but I think that's because I'm a very skeptical person.

I think the problem with long waiting queues at cash-registers isn't the amount of different coins but the people that
1) do not calculate what the need to pay
2) want to speak with the sellers because they have nobody else they can speak to

But that's all a thing of personal attitude: Do we always have to be fast at everything what we do? Do we always need to optimize everything and use every free minute? In my opinion the laxness comes with age and who knows if we will do the same things in some years that we are hating others for today?

2. Stop patronizing companies that help the government spy.

4. Contribute to open source projects that protect privacy.

Good. It's probably better that a young curmudgeonly asshole like myself that has zero respect for unquestioned authority go through the years long process of bringing a clear case of 4th and 5th amendment violations through to the supreme court.

I personally would rather rot in jail in contempt if it meant that these questions of personal property, privacy and self-incrimination were discussed and settled legally. It's a question of civic duty at that point.

Can anyone recommend a video player written in a memory-safe language for OSX that handles MKV files? Or is the simple truth that the problem lies in the parsers, which are shipped as a library written in C, because no sane developer wants to rewrite parsers for 25 different subtitle formats when writing a video player?
The absolute first step is to take control of your devices. LineageOS or Replicant phone. GNU+Linux on computer, openwrt or similar on router/switches, ipfire similar on firewall.

Growing up in Texas it seemed like most C-level people had at least one tattoo. A lot of them were vets so they would typically be eagles or flags.

I have a theory that the mainstreaming of tattoos comes from the greatest generation. They were the generation who fought the Nazis and came back with markings showing their loyalty to their country and the people they served with.

I am the same age as you. I don't remember any boomer parents with tattoos. I wonder if our kids and grandkids will keep getting tattoos or if it will fall out of fashion
In 1972 there were over 1,900 acts of domestic terrorism bombing, and more than 2,500 such bombings in the US in an 18 month period in the early 1970's[0][1]. The bombings were so common that reporters didn't even bother to cover all of them, and yet the bombings continued until very gradually the number of people who felt setting off a bomb in a building was a productive way to end racism gradually declined towards zero (the 1970's are remembered as the anti-war era but that wasn't actually the cause that drove most of the bombers, as recounted into the linked histories).

> Then, however, some dipshit decides to extend the format by adding tags for things like bold, italics, underline etc. This is completely unnecessary for subtitles because the emphasis can be inferred from the dialogue.

Emphasis of an entire line can be inferred, but how can emphasis within a line be inferred when you don't know which utterances within the line correspond to which words in the subtitles (which, if you need subtitles because you don't know the language being spoken, you won't)?

While uncommon, I've occasionally seen font variants used for emphasis on professional subtitles for that reason.

For all practical reasons, web apps cannot bend the rules of same origin policy. As a result of this the browser extension is required to fill the gap. The extension itself is idle unless used so there is no performance hit whatsoever. In terms of privacy, the extension only hooks itself in our own web pages and nowhere else so in theory it is less invasive then adblock plus or pretty much any other standard browser extension these days.

So while this is annoying we have to either use this or package the whole app with Electron or something which I believe will be less useful for the majority of people.

As a side note, future version can be backed by our own proxy so that you don't have to install any browser extension but unfortunately you will loose some of the flexibility such as testing local web apps.

Anything that is Turing-complete cannot be implemented in Ld (by definition). Off the top of my head, this includes: Recurrent Neural Networks, CSS, Minecraft, TrueType fonts, x86 emulators (MOV is Turing-complete) and Conways' Game of Life.

Of course you can argue that lots of things can be implemented in an Ld language. Sure, I have nothing against it, but it's not like desiring Turing-completeness is an absurd requirement.

> Any algorithm that is known to work is necessarily in Ld

No, most algorithms are known to work correctly for the common cases that are tested for + all the edges cases the developers can think of or encounter in real life. For non-trivial software, this is a minuscule subset of the possible states. Lots of things are surprisingly Turing-complete, and it is not trivial to prevent this for a sufficiently complex system.

Yes, looking at the other end of a laser fiber is stupid, particularly when your eye can't see the wavelength. If you're working with 1550nm light and single-mode fibers you should know that, and if you don't you should've received better laser safety training.

As to class mobility: if the kind of people who get promoted in your workplace are the ones that, for example, have mutual friends from the same circles (and maybe the same college) as the boss, then wearing a suit isn't going help your career.

Same thing happened to me (white Macbook, cracks on the keyboard). AFAIK it is a known defect from this series and Apple accredited repair shops were instructed to replace the keyboard for free no matter if the warranty was still valid or not.

It's still a good thing though, I know no other brand that would do that for free 4 years after the warranty expired (in my case).
