That's propaganda. I mean, it's probably true, in itself, but it's the 'small potatoes'. Why? Because, regardless of individual information requests, they funnel a copy of _everything_ to the NSA. All of it. Of course, regular government agencies have to go through semi-civilized procedures of spying on individuals, so they issue individual requests.

You need a licence if you watch live TV as it's broadcast, or if you watch BBC iPlayer catchup content.

You need a licence for any device that you watch live tv as it's broadcast. You need a licence to watch live tv, no matter where it's broadcast from.

The wording of the law says "installed or used to receive", so in theory you need a licence if you have eg a tv plugged into an aerial. They don't prosecute those cases any more.

You don't need a licence if you're not watching live tv. So you can watch all the ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5 catchup as much as you like. Or netflix, amazon, HBO, etc services.

People pay for it because the BBC is generally pretty good. It's stuck in a weird political landscape where some MPs want the BBC to be independent and not be funded by a licence fee, but those same MPs refuse to allow the BBC to operate commercially.

A longer term plan for the BBC would be welcome, and that's probably going to be a subscription service at some point.
Theoretically they could properly detect a crappy replacement too by doing some basic math to determine approximate capacity. I'm not sure of the situation on iOS but on Android tools like Accubattery do a decent job of this. As such, even requiring an Apple original battery would be poor practice in my opinion.
It can also happen you don’t care about the data you are sharing. Why not using an online then?

Just one question. In a city with high rents and salaries which never go above 80k how are these people so full of themselves ? Low wages is a German problem but at least cost of living is under control in several places.

> I don't think you understand what an open border means, and if you're getting hung up on the "legality" of it, an open border would literally make immigration legal.

You're conflating the societal value of legal immigrants, which is itself questionable at times (H1-B abuse) with those of illegal immigrants which further depress wages.

> "Americans are more deserving humans to non-Americans" and that is xenophobic

I never made a statement of who is deserving of anything. I've pointed out that nation-state exists to serve its present-day citizens, not hypothetical future citizens as you are saying.

> It's funny to me that you think the Wikipedia article titled, "The Economic Impact of Illegal Immigration" is about legal immigrants.

How could I forget the one article in your deluge.

It's a great article:

>> Immigrants, legal and illegal, are more likely to pay taxes than they are to use public services. Illegal immigrants are not eligible for most public services and live in fear of revealing themselves to government authorities. Households headed by illegal immigrants use less than half the amount of federal services that households headed by documented immigrants or citizens make use of.

Illegal immigrants are a benefit because they cannot access services that they pay for. They're a net benefit because we allow their exploitation.

> but our lower rungs already do fend for themselves.

Exactly, so let's make it worse for them by further depressing wages! They're already suffering, what's a little more?
Don't worry too much about a career. Worry about being happy. Life isn't supposed to be about work. We work so we have money to live. Our identity should not be defined by how we earn income. I know that's easier said than done but we are more than what we do. I agree with heyoni, chill out awhile. Your overall well-being should be your top priority whenever feeling down. There isn't anything you HAVE to do.
1. Yes, it is possible to create a separate email address for all of your different purposes (work, personal, etc). However, for the average user that is not a very efficient workflow or desirable end result.

2. Yes, as you're describing there are various hypothetical ways to link an email with a pull request or vice versa. But how do you propose the average user implement this? At the end of the day, they'd end up building a subset of the underlying functionality that Monolist provides.

3. Yes, it is "possible" for email clients to support additional features, and many of them do. However, we believe email requires a fundamental rethinking to be valuable again in the workplace.

Thank you for recommending it! I really hope it's helping.

Re:pushed-to-be-general -->

1000%, this is definitely a concern. We're definitely new to this world, so we're talking a lot with more experienced founders who understand how to navigate it better than we do. We also do a lot to setup systems that align the incentives of the business with the incentives of the user; for example being open source is one strong system.
Does the battery work perfectly fine? At that point, the battery status page is broken, so it's hard to say.
It's only for OTA programming or to watch BBC online streaming services. You don't need one for eg watching Netflix or playing games.
It seems like there's probably a mathematical law that one could state about the probability of a substantive discussion occuring, where the result is dominated by the likelihood of a random, uninformed stranger crashing into the thread.

I feel like at less than ~ 3:1 "citizens":stranger ratios, any conversation spirals down. Because someone inevitably takes the bait, responds to stupidity, and there goes the thread.
I worked in a coffeeshop. The maximum we were allowed to have was higher than 5 grams. I'm not sure how high it exactly was. The maximum we were allowed to sell a person was 5 gram.

We had odd ways to go around the police. Once in a year they'd show up, in numbers. Some kind of yearly ritual. Our main trick was to accidentally throw down a trash bin in such a case so that the "refiller" (trusted middle man with social skills who sat between the growers and me) would know that he shouldn't show up. All the stash was stored just 2 floors above the shop in a civilian apartment floor. He'd hear the noise through the heating pipe.

I'm glad I quit because, quite frankly, I didn't have the social skills for this job (autism, lack of balls for the semi criminal cirtcuit, street slang, etc). I felt my co-employees and boss were more focused on sales than on proper guidance of tourists. I've refused to sell people (especially spacecake) based on maturity/knowledge signals I picked up. Though that wasn't the main reason why I quit I'm glad I don't have to feel guilty for that anymore (because there's always a losing party to such decision).
Very, very stupid people.
OS X has the Perl-based `json_pp` built in too.
The design in your blog is beautiful. Well done
Whenever these articles write 'planet', it's obvious that the connotation is Biosphere, aka living creatures.

Sometimes it also means civilization, which encompasses a broad spectrum of things, but mostly a standard of living above subsistence farming/hunting/gathering, and being able to organize in groups larger than small tribes.

> Worst case scenario, humans go extinct

Sure, might take a while. I think the bigger immediate problem is that to survive in a global warming environment, traits will be selected for that aren't necessarily conducive to preservation of civilization (which is our main achievement as a species)
Agreed this is less of a concern for python and Java. Still there, though. Especially with the new streams API and general lambdas. Or python three versus two.

Is it less if a change? I guess. I do know it is a source of some bugs we've seen. Not to mention just the churn of folks not using the general style of the existing code. New or old.
> A developer tossed out an idea at a con.

Uh... calling him "a developer" is like just calling Ruth Bader Ginsburg "a judge". Matthew Flatt is the #1 contributor to Racket in terms of any quantifiable metric, and he was also one of the original researchers on the project (next to Findler and Krishnamurthi, under Felleisen).

I totally agree with you that any syntax change in Racket2 will not be so big a deal as many are making it out to be, but I think it's a bit disingenuous to understate Matthew's involvement with the community to such an extent.
So you are arguing that no one "would say re-writing the same app 5 times and maintaining 5 codebases is a bad idea."?

That was my statement. You are saying it's not true. All the upvotes suggest some would say that. Therefore my statement is true.

I'm not sure why you're so confused here. This isn't at all applicable to what you are saying. You are talking about writing an app once and having one code base, which is exactly the opposite of what I was talking about. You have constructed a straw man and called it not true.
That’s pretty huge. I wonder if it’s possible to have the results committed to the repository. To be able to display a badge in the readme. Like 87% test passing.
You could say the same thing about being a software developer.

That could be backend development, but even then there's different languages and tools: MongoDB, MSSQL, Oracle. Even the server languages can differ vastly: Java, .NET Core, Python, Ruby, that list goes on.

Add "full stack" to that list and now it could include desktop software (Windows forms, WPF, etc), javascript frameworks, or mobile platforms (which can include swift, C, java, or some of the cross platform frameworks).

Sure, all these skills are in demand, but good companies will explain what their interpretation of "Software developer" means in the job description.

Then you, an expert in a few of those languages, will pick and choose what jobs to apply for. I don't see why the security field has to be any different.
Argentina strikes me as a strong combination of "desirable" and "open". Virtually anyone can become a citizen, and it's a prosperous enough country, currency decline notwithstanding.
I would think the stray light from a CRT strobing at 50Hz could be picked up by a photodiode and some amplification.

The point of the 'detection' was to just see if a TV was in operation and not to see what was being watched.
I'm definitely happy to be corrected, but I am curious how you arrived at that conclusion based on the article.

There is a long term upward trend in the ECS upper bound, there is model convergence towards that new upper bound figure, and it agrees with recent satellite observations from CERES. I think this constitutes a fair amount of support that warrants my concern.
I am totally blown away how the left has developed a "Moral Majority" complex.
So computer science is about computation as an abstract idea - the study of computation, which in its basis is discrete math (with formal models like state machines, etc) and complexity theory.

So expect to understand discrete math and its manifestation in practice - compilers, programming languages, databases. You would also learn about algorithms, their properties, and what cannot be computed.

The goal of SE degree is how to introduce computer systems into the real world. where the real world is composed of both humans and machines.

So expect to learn about software project management, software process, estimation, requirement gathering, design.

At the end of the day, CS degree is more fundamental and has better long term value. However, most of programming in practice today is using existing tools and composing existing software system, so either one is good.
Apple simply doesn't respect their customers.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and suggest that maybe the people who originally built Racket 20+ years ago and have spent their entire careers doing research related to it know what they're doing when they say they're considering changing the syntax. I dunno, maybe that's just crazy talk...

I took an iPhone SE to an Apple Store for a battery replacement program last year. Spent 4+ hours waiting with minimal status updates until the genius finally came back out to say that the battery was replaced but TouchID was now broken, they didn't have any replacement parts and it would take a week for a refurbished unit to arrive. Had to pay to take the broken phone away with no other recourse. Six months later, the battery is bad again...
This is interesting to people viewing the events in isolation.

These happen routinely on a daily basis. And being in a strategically foundational position makes such moves straightforward.

In the developer tooling market, GitHub is foundational, obviously. So it naturally will expand, and can also easily do so.

And it was these moments I lament Google's inability to buy GitHub. All these stuff are just repeating Google has had for a decade, they would have been the perfect marriage but Google refuses to pay big money...

The thing is (and this relates to issue of racket changing surface syntax) - s-expressions are not just about the editing experience. They are about the reading/mental parsing experience. The less time I have to wonder about operator associativity rules (let alone magical language keywords/formats) the more time I can think about the actual semantics of the program being expressed. It always amuses me when using a mixfix language that the first thing to do when debugging a tricky math expression is to get hella parenthetical to make sure things are working the way you intend.
I hear you. I thought about it and I think you need to reframe the problem. If a change in the application breaks your CI, it means you need to adjust the CI so it doesn't break when such changes are introduced. In my experience, these kinds of things happen very rarely.
Great, leave the device unplugged for a few weeks and any residual charge will drop off enough to invalidate your battery keys. That'd be a shit show.
Search for "Corporate Controller". They typically report directly to the CFO and oversee a lot of other financial roles. Every company has one, and they usually only step out of their office to hit someone with a club or something.

A lot of their job is protecting the company from lawsuits, usually because someone somewhere did something dumb.

Source: worked closely with a corporate controller for many years.
Cool idea, but what advantage does open sourcing the app give you?
If anything, most non-tech people will find it 'juicy'. Someone will read it and say something akin to "good lord!" and then email the article to their friend about the "inhumane" forum they read about.

This is very cool.

I've taken an interest in cytotoxins and cytotoxic therapies lately, and there seems to be a use here to help identify and measure impact of various treatments on the cell lifecycle.

One example is the following which shows the difference in cell lifecycle between untreated cancer cells and those being treated with a 200KHz electromagnetic field ('TTFields'): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voVa7Pj2xUg

Presently videos like the above are manually reviewed. However, the timescales and noise of some of these observations seem to stretch human attention quite a bit. The unblinking eye of a neural network might help inform the process, if for no other reason than to help direct human attention to anomalous behavior.

For example, in the above video 'blebbing' is seen as an indicator that the cell has started apoptosis and will subsequently die. This is supported by the overall lack of growth in the culture and the mechanism of action is attributed to tubulin disruption.

However, later analysis shows that the cells actually recover from this state but tend to have corrupted mitosis in the future. This in turn indicated that the mechanism of action may be something else.
"Google Takes on ---===[ Rare Fight ]===--- Against National Security Letters

Google has filed a rare petition to challenge a... national security letter... extraordinary petition... etc. etc."

I don't think they could emphasize rare and extraordinary more than that. Also, like I said above - they're still complying with funnelling _all_ data to the NSA, a practice which dwarfs the exercise of opposing some NSLs.

Finally - there's the fact that they don't leak all those NSLs. Why don't they? Those NSLs belong on WikiLeaks, for sure.

No, a tv isn't that much different from a large monitor.

In the past when we had CRTs and poor EMF shielding TV detector vans claimed to use "van eck phreaking" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Eck_phreaking.

They had a couple of actual working vans, but these were purely for technical demonstrations.

The rest of the vans were labelled up and they'd drive around to places that didn't have a licence (For a while TV Licencing had the largest civilian database in the UK) and knock on doors.

Some of the "inspectors" used, and still use, pretty unpleasant techniques.

I'm generally in favour of the licence. I don't need one right now, and I've found it easy to get the letters to stop (I fill out an online form), but some friends get letters almost fortnightly. They have mental ill-health, and they find the letters distressing. It's annoying to me that TVL / Capita aren't better at supressing those letters.
Thank you! Please let us know how it goes for you. It definitely takes a bit of practice; it took me a bit to get it at least.

Our biggest challenge at the moment is helping folks through that "initial" barrier.
The Utopian Promise of Adorno’s ‘Open Thinking,’ Fifty Years On
So a conclusion would be to use numpy instead of for loops for number crunching.

But behold! This does not scale as one could expect.

Turning a little more complex elementwise computation into vectorized numpy calls produces a lot of memory overhead. For each vectorized numpy call, which does a basic computation (like adding two operands, or negating, or sinus of, ...), you allocate a whole new array. The calls _can_ leverage parallel computation but you run into cache issues because of the massive memory overhead.

A simple C-loop computing each element completely can be much more memory local and cache friendly. Turning it into a simple chain of numpy operations can destroy that.

I think using Numba to compile ufunc for numpy can be a better approach to that problem.
It's not a video camera in the conventional sense, necessarily.

You could also collect unfocused light emissions, such at those reflecting from walls and ceiling, and correlate their luminance and chroma fluctuations over time with those of live TV. This would not intelligibly perceive non TV light signals, and so be less of a privacy concern. Additionally this would work if the TV's image is not visible.

Agreed. Disney is notorious for using its leverage to extract high % gross from theaters big and small, owing to its relatively unbroken streak of successful movies the past few years. There's no way they would have agreed to this without some sort of back-end make-good, especially when Disney's Marvel films draw a higher percent of high-value ticket sales (3D/IMAX/PLF, etc.) that are easily 2-3x the price that AMC says it will pay studios for each Stubs viewing.
My point is that it is completely unreasonable to expect a single entity to even approach the optimum for the majority of people, unless this entity is god-like. The numerous smaller entities simply have a lot more manageable task ahead of them.

By distributing power into a large number of entities, there is no power consolidation and hence no single point of failure. With such a power structure, it is much harder for a sociopath to replace the benevolent dictator and take control of the whole. Furthermore, if any of the smaller entities go awry, an individual can much more easily migrate to another one.
That's another way to put it, of course :)

The law specified dried mushrooms specifically as the stance skirted complexities regarding the picking or possession of native wildlife samples (psilocybe semilanceata predominently).

With kits offering the ability to grow easier-to-grow strains from elsewhere in the world (Central and South America principally) we sought clarification from the Home Office on whether it was actually illegal to possess and sell fresh magic mushrooms. Turns out, there wasn't anything illegal in that. Made for an interesting few years.

We assumed a change or clarification in the law at some point, so prepared for a time when sale of fresh mushrooms per se would be outlawed. We never expected them to come down as hard as they did though, so the survival/back up plan of forming a small laboratory to grow mycelium and take spore prints and cater to an enthusiast market was all for naught.

Strange to think at the time that we thought we were on the verge of the UK being at the front of the line for a change in stance on cannabis and drugs generally, but Mr. Brown took us down a different path.
