No, I think it is completely silly to count coal deaths against nuclear power deaths. It's a strawman argument.
Gsr.ubigmail.com - Search-results Web Search
I don't think it's covered in that demo. At 10 Sv/h the effects are so immediately obvious that you don't really need to subtract the actual image.
Showing one single plant without failures doesn't prove anything, sorry. And the comparison with coal is completely besides the point.

Edit: OK, only now read the Wikipedia link. So your point is that Fukushima was not operated properly? Well that is exactly my point. Even if in theory you could design a secure system, it won't work out in reality. "The system" is not only one reactor, it is the whole system of society that operates it.

Just look at the way the US handles airport security after 9/11 and after the shoe bomber and underwear bomber (naked body scanners). The same way they will handle nuclear power plant security. If there is a problem, they will fix that particular problem and totally miss the big picture. (And every country also, just mentioning the US because their airport failure is so well known these days).

And another Edit: if they knew Fukushima was not safe before the accident, why did they not shut it down? Think about it, and then extrapolate to other nuclear plants.

And how did they sell Fukushima to the public when it was built? I am sure they claimed it was safe at least back then.
Of course it was about the cost. The article doesn't mention any reasons why they would have to cut costs, though.
In the UK, they already claim the power to jail you if you don't hand over the password: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/10/06/jail_password_ripa/
They adhere to the DMCA and safeharbor laws..?

Simple as that.
As with coal, it is completely silly to compare the number of deaths with the number of deaths from the earthquake.

I take it you wouldn't mind moving into those evacuated areas around Fukushima. Housing is probably really cheap there right now.

Yes. Near the French / Italian border there are targeted controls for counterfeited products. Common sense should tell you you can't get a Gucci bag for 200$, or anywhere outside of a luxury shop ;) And yes, you are also liable if you were unaware - but most people are actually aware.
Could it not have been just simple phishing? The low number of compromised passwords (20k according to the article) would make me think so at least.

Six creative professionals and their workspaces
Narrative is not a game mechanic
This is a pretty optimistic view.
Kinect is great. Granted. Windows 7 is great. Granted.
Windows Phone 7 is great. I haven't one, but I'll just say Granted.
But from there, to say it will erase all traces of Android’s inconsequential existence on this plane. Whoaa!! That's a LOT. Manufacturers choose Android, because they can personalize it and differentiate from the competition. Carriers privilege android, because they want to control what's done with the devices, and ask for changes to the manufacturers. They don't want to change that for now, even if they still have to pay Microsoft for Android's patents.

That's something that Microsoft still has to solve.

And of course, Windows 8... that OS may define Microsoft's future entirely. Will it be a success? I don't know. I hope so, but we'll have to wait. If they manage to impose it as THE real alternative to Apple's tablets (displacing Android from this position at least in this form factor), Microsoft will really show its back on track.

And of course, while the article presents Google as a hyperactive fat kid in a pastry shop who simply doesn’t know what to focus on, Microsoft is struggling in the same way:
Remember Bing, they are still trying to figure out how to make people use it. Buying Skype (let's hope they can figure out how to use it better than Ebay). Partnering with Nokia, because the other manufacturers practically ignored them.

I repeat, I REALLY hope that Microsoft gets back on track. It would be great for everyone of us! More competition, more advances! But we have to wait a few key months before we can say something like this.
Have a second laptop you use for travelling and treat it as unsecure. Any time a laptop is out of your control, especially when it's held by (any)government, you might as well assume it has had spyware installed on it. Plus you're at a much higher risk of theft while travelling abroad so you definitely should avoid having confidential business documents, etc. on it.

I use a netbook for travelling which gets a blanket format & reinstall before and after it goes travelling. Even then there's a risk that it might have had a hardware keylogger installed on it (this has happened to business people travelling to China in the past).

No. Not seriously. You missed the point of her article. The point is she got screwed over by Google. What she was promised she didn't receive.
Sorry - I was going more for the meta-discussion about the seemingly identical responses seen whenever Google is accused of "do evil" rather than passing any judgement on this specific case.

I do note with interest though that you seem to have now changed the discussion framing from "It wasn't Google - it was a person (who did thing under discussion)" to "How is (thing under discussion) evil?"

And, FWIW, I'd consider a recruiter using "perks" as a salary lever, when said perks are out of both the recruiter's and the job applicant's control, and at the whim of "the food team" or "corporate finance", I'd call that at least "sleazy", though probably falling short of "evil".

Having said that, I'm sure the intended public understanding of the "Do no evil" catchphrase _isn't_ "Do anything and everything that's profitable - up to, but falling just short of a legal definition of 'evil' that we might be held accountable for."
The problem is still the huge percentage of American traffic on the web. E.g. on Iconfinder.com about 50% are US users, so blocking them would hurt ad income by about the same amount.

You wouldn't normally wear a compression shirt on its own if you were training outside. It's all about the layering - so you have a compression shirt that would wick moisture away, a mid-layer of variable material depending upon the temperature, and a 'shell' outer layer (also breathable). The outer-layer helps prevent wind-chill and water getting in, the mid-layer insulates you, and the inner compression layer wicks the moisture away and keeps you comfortable.

Of course, different strokes for different folks, and some people feel the cold more than others!
Any suggestions are invaluable.

That's why nobody wants to come to USA any more.
I have to respectfully disagree. The amount of people (mainly Europeans) I meet who tell me they want to move to the US is still very substantial. In my experience, the perception of the American dream is still very real in a large portion of the world's eyes.

As long as America continues to present it's theater politics through it's media outlets, people won't know what actually happens.
It's also their fault. They made an offer they weren't planning on keeping. And they lose the most - an irate employee is a dead loss to an organization, but still gets a paycheck (until they more on or get fired, which takes a long time).
The article isn't about why Google cut costs like free cafeteria food. It's about an employee agreeing to work somewhere that is reputed to be "world class" because they were promised a benefit and then that benefit was taken away.
I quite like Hollywood. Some of the best entertainment has and will come from their studios. It is the old guard that don't get that Piracy has had very little impact on their industry and would be a waste of tax payers money to legislate against it:

I don't think we need to do too much here as I think the suits will get rid of themselves by repeatedly showing how inept they are by not understanding the digital world. But if you do want to put pressure on the old boys I would suggest:

1. Don't buy Popcorn and Cola at the cinema. The ridiculous margins on these goods are the 'cream' that makes the movie houses their money. Literally your popcorn and coke'sie cash is what lines the studio's pockets and allows Brangelina to live lavishly. Hollywood == Popcorn + Coke sales

2. Support awesome UGC like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=7...

On one hand, it conjures up pictures of a real slimeball, the typical "snake oil salesman".

Don't search engines already penalize duplicate content?
Maybe it would suffice to 'just' put all papers online, convert all references to hyperlinks, and let Google sort out what is important and what not.
Actually, (at least in computer science) I don't think that stretching one's research across several publications is being done widely - at least when looking at 'top' conferences.
I work for a carrier. People simultaneously depend on our services and actively hope for our demise. So I hope you understand the context when I say you need to thicken your skin.

The motivation for an attack is irrelevant. Threats are things that need to be planned for appropriately in a business plan. Pretending the entertainment industry is not as ridiculously overpowered relative to the revenue it generates only works with the hyperbole you have injected. Well done, but I am not falling for it.

I doubt your friends are as naive as you. So if it is any solace, you should find great comfort in the fact that the industry is sophisticated enough to survive for a few more paltry tablescraps for the next 20 years or so.
Thanks for spreading the Quora link.
I can't imagine them defining "Work" so vaguely if they were trying to write a clear contract. More likely Apple wants to wait and let the courts decide how much they can get away with. God knows how that will turn out. I guess either the license will be ruled invalid or some ludicrous precedent will be set.

I can't think of any sensible way to decide whether or not data was "generated by" a piece of software. If you export your book to plain text, is that not "generated by" the app? Why not? It's the app's output. But it's also your own copyrighted work in a more or less rudimentary form.

Imagine you first write your book in Apple's app and save it to an iBook file that falls under Apple's restrictions. Then you retype your entire book in a 3rd party app that can export iBooks perfectly. The 3rd party generated iBook is bit-for-bit identical to Apple's. Now you have "two" files that are subject to different licenses, except of course they are the same file.

That's already absurd. But what if instead of retyping your book, you just import it into the 3rd party app from the Apple generated iBook file. You should be able to do that, right? Surely the legal status of the data can't depend on whether or not you typed it by hand. But again, this is absurd because you are importing and exporting to the same format. It optimizes to a file copy.

And this isn't a reductionist argument. The above is an entirely realistic scenario that will inevitably come up whenever an iBook author wants to sell their book outside of Apple's store.

No, it's not "of course it's because of the cost" because it could have been for another reason, and (thank God) the article wasn't about why Google would cut back on a perk. If it was, I wouldn't have read it.
I just hope it doesn't get interpreted in media as "hackers destroy government property using pirated software - that's what ACTA is supposed to stop". I wouldn't be surprised at all if that happened.

Ok. This means that even more authors might republish the same research in different venues - just in order to avoid their research being ignored because of their choice of journal. Seems like another danger of an Elsevier boycot to me.
But if US users can't access the site then the US has no forum to precede with legal action, and then they can't call for extradition either. In the end they would need to prosecute in the target jurisdiction via the Berne Treaty.

The situation with Goedel sentence (let's call it G) is actually not very different. As neither G nor negation of G is provable, you could also say that it contains extra information, and add negation of G as a new axiom to PA, just like you could add CH to ZF.

If you do that, you could wonder what your new arithmetic looks like. This is actually very interesting question. Since "not G" says basically "it's not true that there's no proof of me", or, more specifically, "it's not true that there's no number that represents the proof of me", it's clear that "not G" asserts the existence of a certain "natural" number being the proof of G, which is not one of the natural numbers we know (since no "regular" natural number represents the proof of G). In our new universe there are "natural" numbers that you cannot reach by counting. Because of that, one can construct many different nonequivalent "implementations" (models) of PA + not G, which are necessarily different than the standard implementation of artihmetic we know (1, 2 = S(1), 3 = S(S(1)), ..., n = S(S(...S(1)...)), with + and *).

What is interesting about incompleteness theorem is that no matter if we add arbitrarily large number of axioms to PA, or even infinite number of axioms generated by computer program we write, the resulting system will still be incomplete, and each will have its own (many of them, actually) Goedel sentence.
I'll be honest, I don't understand this uproar. Apple isn't marketing iBooks Author as a general-purpose eBook publishing tool, they're providing it for free for the express purpose of publishing to their platform. This is how they describe it on their website:

"iBooks Author is an amazing new app that allows anyone to create beautiful Multi-Touch textbooks — and just about any other kind of book — for iPad."

That's why every comparison between iBooks Author and Office or Photoshop or 3DS Max or any other creative application rings so disingenuous in my mind. They're not even restricting distribution outside of their platform, they just don't want you making money from it. What evilness am I missing?
I am already using Sencha Touch so I believe Ext JS would do the job but then their commercial license would need to be bought. MIT license is great.
