I don't disagree that Quicklisp needs a better distribution and security model. And maybe it was done by amateurs. But asdf is such a pig-brained overengineered impossible-to-debug, impossible-to-learn pile of impenetrable crap that Quicklisp seems downright elegant by comparison. ASDF is like git: It sucks and we are stuck with it. But FFS let's not talk about expanding its scope.

This sounds like a rehash of the 20th century phrase "why buy a cow when the milk is free". Pretty sure I first came across it in a Heinlein story, but can't remember which.

Quick search finds http://digitalcommons.acu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=10... from 1992 using it, as "An engagement is not a time for sexual experimentation. An old saying “why buy a cow, when the milk is free” is true."
It's ARM-based, so if it isn't using one of the big kahuna emulators (the RPi3 isn't powerful enough to do VICE full-spec), it's unlikely to run even existing C64 demos.

And since there's no mention of any expanded features of the C64-ness itself, there's no draw to do any development for this device in particular.

Maybe not quite what you had in mind but: https://www.thefuturewas8bit.com/index.php/c64p

How can you put the original hardware into a case that is half the size? There is no way that the bits inside the case of my recently revived C64 would ever fit into this thing. Even if they cram a "real" SID and VIC etc into it then at least the motherboard and rather a lot of other things have to be rather different.
That depends, really. Firefox usage is barely in the double digits and has been steadily declining for quite a while. If it becomes a hassle, then maybe. I'd expect them to boot Safari users first. We will have to see how it goes.

Hi Kenton - awesome new feature!

In the blog post you talk about the trade-offs of using JavaScript vs other options like containers. I thought you might be interested in this comparison of using JavaScript vs other sandboxing options.

> Hosts of V8 can multiplex applications by switching between contexts, just as conventional protection is implemented in the OS as process context switches… A V8 context switch is just 8.7% of the cost of a conventional process context switch… V8 will allow more tenants, and it will allow more of them to be active at a time at a lower cost.
>In any democracy you must govern by the law. The people chose the government and they make the laws. What is wrong with this?

you raise a good question and the answer is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyranny_of_the_majority . That's why in America even if the majority support a law limiting speech, the supreme court will still strike down such a law - the State can't cause the removal of things like this app in America, lawfully; even if it has people's support.

what is interesting is that I wouldn't have to explain this to someone else in America - it's part of what everyone already knows.
It was obvious enough to me when they said 'apps' are offering the same thing.

Which makes you question all of the engineers at LG that let this become a thing?

This reminds me of all of the times the marketing team tried to push me to add "Like" and "Tweet" buttons everywhere (when I was time constrained enough as it was building an new unproven product without customers). The pressure from the suits trying to increase sales at any cost can make the people who know better do anything.

The fact it went into production in South Korea may say a lot about their cultures willingness to appease authority, rather than some malintent to deceive customers.

...Although 'chinese medicine' is huge in Asia with little evidence... so there's always betting on the capacity for self-delusion.
It isn't just "widely believed", it is something he admitted to doing. I am not sure why you are being downvoted for saying it.

>For the first time, Snowden has admitted he sought a position at Booz Allen Hamilton so he could collect proof about the US National Security Agency's secret surveillance programmes ahead of planned leaks to the media.

>"My position with Booz Allen Hamilton granted me access to lists of machines all over the world the NSA hacked," he told the Post on June 12. "That is why I accepted that position about three months ago."

>...Asked if he specifically went to Booz Allen Hamilton to gather evidence of surveillance, he replied: "Correct on Booz."[1]

Coworkers started to become suspicious of his intentions years earlier when he was with the CIA.

>Just as Edward J. Snowden was preparing to leave Geneva and a job as a C.I.A. technician in 2009, his supervisor wrote a derogatory report in his personnel file, noting a distinct change in the young man’s behavior and work habits, as well as a troubling suspicion.

>The C.I.A. suspected that Mr. Snowden was trying to break into classified computer files to which he was not authorized to have access, and decided to send him home, according to two senior American officials. [2]

Publishers are already treating adblock (not tracking protection) users far more aggressively than they have in the past. I imagine if the number of users that are hampering advertiser value went up by an order of magnitude that these publishers may react in a far more aggressive way.
> there has been no evidence of collusion between trump and the kremlin. And unless they find hard evidence then he can't be impeached

Agreed, based on what's been made available to the public. But there does seem to be the possibility of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin.

I think the campaign staff colluded (or tried to), but I also think the people involved probably covered their tracks well enough that they'll avoid indictment.

> This wasn't an attempt to elect one candidate or another it was an attempt to divide

Given only the Facebook ads, this might be true -- I haven't researched the content of the ads. However, there are many other sources (including things not made public, but referenced by the CIA and FBI) that confirm that Putin wanted Trump to win and the Kremlin was proud of Trump's victory.

Dividing the US is much less of a victory (in both moral and practical terms) than actually impacting the outcome of the election, especially when the victor would be much more pro-Putin than Clinton ever was.

> James comey leaked classified material to appoint a special prosecutor as he self admitted. He also perjured himself by lying to congress about deciding not to prosecute Hillary Clinton months before she was even interviewed. Congress now has two witnesses coming forward to prove this

This is basically "whataboutism". It doesn't really matter what Comey did, whether it was illegal, etc. What matters is whether Trump fired Comey to kill the Russia investigation. Trump himself said that he did. Trump is his own worst enemy -- he probably could have escaped any obstruction charges just by keeping his mouth shut or allowing his staff to tell him what to say about firing Comey.

If Mueller can turn that into an obstruction charge, Trump will be impeached (especially if Congress becomes more Democratic before then).
Interesting! But this seems to be a run down of low level socket details rather than a lay of the networking land I am looking for. Thanks for the suggestion though!

The left and the libertarians have always been divided, they've never been a coalition, why would they start now? I mean I agree Russia fucked with the election, but I wouldn't group Snowden with Assange, Greenwalk, and Manning. Assange in particular is out to bring down the U.S. empire, his motives are always in question even if the information he chooses to release is real. Snowden is the only one in that list that deserves any respect.
Off topic: I don't know if it's Firefox, GTK or some other component at fault but all tooltips in the browser last for an unreasonably short amount of time and it's really hard to read something more than a couple of words. I have to either view the page source or freeze the process.

I wonder why a tooltip is supposed to disappear in the first place.
Cool result! I've done similar things in the past with previous company's units[1] using Mellanox cards. We worked quite a bit with Chelsio as well, and have shown nice results there. I am surprised on the spinning disk front though, as I was showing off about 5.5-6GB/s for previous company's 60 drive bay units 3 years ago[2]. This was a single PCIe gen3 x8 NIC, we were bounded by the IB network (56Gb) performance, and had about 2GB/s extra headroom on the pure spinning disk systems.

Most if not all western democracies give the Government the power to pardon convicts. It's one of the checks the three branches have against each other. I, along with the vast majority of Spaniards, agree that it's been abused and should be restricted.

But if your argument is that the courts in all these countries are puppets of their governments based on the fact that they have the power to pardon later on, I don't think it's a strong argument.
There's no federal government, it's not a federation.

Historically the central government has extracted money and resources from Catalonia. Catalonia was one of the first regions in Spain to develop its industry and definitely the strongest on that: https://es.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolución_industrial_en_Esp...

These days it is widely accepted that the Catalan people send 16 billion per year to Spain that are never returned. That wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't because our infrastructures are underfunded and only around 35% of the budgeted investments were actually executed: http://www.elnacional.cat/es/politica/estado-ejecucion-infra...

But this is not just an economic grievance. The issue is way more complex and includes (but not restricted to) language, cultural and respect issues.

Valencia was one of the places I was hinting at (although I suppose they removed the river that originally made it a convenient place for a port).

Anyway, I wasn't completely aware of that part of the history, thanks.

That said I don't quite agree that Catalonia wasn't oppressed. I'm not qualified to say which regions were oppressed the most, but economic prosperity isn't the opposite of oppression. If anything the real dark truth is that oppressive authoritarian dictatorships can be quite effective, and even prosperous.
There are some exceptions and many different divorce laws, but the example obviously should be taken in a spanish context, and not trying to suggest that Catalonia (typically represented as the wife) was cheating to its partner Spain (typically represented as man and violent abuser) so she "has the right to go". Would be against their own discourse.

http://www.vozbcn.com/figura/2009/11/20091127nou.jpg

"Shouldn't your wife be allowed to divorce from you if she wants" with an implicit (because you abused it) would be, on the other hand, an extremely rude example. I don't think that this passive-agressive possibility was even in the mind of the people posting it.

Since you had to make a throwaway for that comment, I'm not convinced it's a concern you really had nor that you work at a place that can't even give you the modest amount of doubt-benefit to click the URL before calling you into the office for a chat.

To use PG's method: in 200 years, do you think that we will have 100M parallel, entry level discussions about the merits of abortion (or the political issue du jour)? No, obviously our discussion experience will be augmented such that we are easily led to the forefront of the debate and build on top of the pertinent points and progress being made. How do we invent that future?

Isn't it the same thing in San Francisco? Most of the homeless services in the Tenderloin are funded by people who don't live in the area...

Same thing with section 8 vouchers--almost always grouped in one area. By grouping the poor and homeless in one area, it actually keeps them from ever recovering. If you spread them out, they are far more likely to succeed.
I got the beta two days ago and oh my God this thing is super fast. I used to dread opening web pages, now it's my favorite thing! I am extremely impressed with the work they did.
> The Spanish have the assurance, from our Constitution, that the Government won't interfere with concentrations claiming independence, or whatever else. Thus, by your own definition (and mine) we have the right to free speech.

Which section(s) are you referring to? I couldn't find anything about interfering in concentrations claiming independence or free speech? I did find Section 71 stating that members of Congress have free speech in order to do their functions, but that implies normal people do not.
No, it doesn’t. It refers to the executive. Whenever we complain about the poor quality of government, (the VA, DMV,) we’re complaining about an organ of the executive (be it federal, state or municipal).

In fact the word govern implies executive.

His motives? He worked happily for the CIA from 2007 - 2009. Then he worked for Booz Allen Hamilton/NSA from 2009 to 2013. That's seven years of employment in the security-industrial complex. Was he playing the long game then?

>"Its impossible to care about security as NSA employee?"

I don't think the question is security but privacy and no, it's hard to imagine sincerely caring about other's privacy and working for an organization that regularly disrespects it as a matter of course.

The beta seems pretty good, but after noticing some bugs im reminded again of one of the reasons I quit using Firefox in the first place: Tabs look fucked up on MacOS and some Linux themes, a fix exists, but it's been pushed back to version 58 even though 57 is still in beta. If you don't prioritize user experience in a web browser, then what's the point?
That's why I've kept using it despite the slowness, but it's certainly great that now the lag is 0.9x that of Chrome!
In the US, "the government" refers to all three branches. When we complain about the poor quality of government, we're frequently talking about Congress, too.
Not true at all. You are either misinformed or malicious.

Private organisations websites like assemblea.cat have been banned.

Lots of signs drawn, designed, printed by people have been seized by police. Including signs that only said "democracy".

Private citizens have been arrested for mirroring the websites with their own resources. That's political prosecution, stop hiding behind the law.

I assume this is much tongue in cheek, but permit me to take it literally, just for fun. While there have been some public cases of the bar raising, there is no computer or AI yet than can tell you that you asked the wrong question. There's no real evidence that the bar was ever in the right place. We can't worry about the goal posts moving, when we have no idea where the goal posts are supposed to go -- impoverished may be an understatement. The article is correct that "Neural nets are just thoughtless fuzzy pattern recognizers". While everyone's excited that they started to work well on huge data sets, they are simple classifiers that can identify objects for which they've seen many examples. They are demonstrably deficient at extrapolating. Backprop and deep networks were a step forward, but it's just obvious there's a long way to go, regardless of politics.

I don't think legitimate creators need to be concerned. From the article, the minimum requirement to be a partner is 10K public views. That's a relatively low bar, and you shouldn't be trying to be monetize when you have that low of a view count anyway.
I was basing it on what the parent commenter said. I can't really tell if he's in the wrong or you are because, as you said, I haven't looked it up myself.
