There aren't any. People use the words "biased" and "unbiased" mainly to express degrees of agreement.

Reducing interference is a fine theory, but who decides that one party's traffic is legitimate, and the other party's traffic is interference?

In most sane countries, there is a licensing authority to whom you pay licensing fees in exchange for exclusive use of spectrum, and the person who owns that license is the lawful spectrum user. And then you have deregulated bands that anyone can use without any license and it is on these bands that WiFi operates.

I think the outrage that people have about what is going on here is essentially Ofcom (UK's version of the FCC) is, for this event, regulating an "unlicensed" band that is supposed to be available for everyone's use.

And so not only are Ofcom granting a part of the spectrum to the IOC for free, they are also effectively withdrawing a "license" from the general public. And the people who make hardware and software are unwillingly subsidizing the IOC by creating and marketing and mass-producing cheap devices that utilize radio frequencies that they reasonably expected consumers to be able to control, not reserved for the use of a private entity.

If the IOC wants interference-free spectrum, it's easy enough to get. The outrage here is that they are exercising control over spectrum that is explicitly not to be controlled.

Confined Spaces Permit Services
If one wants to enter the hazardous area then quick confined spaces permit is required because these are the restricted areas, where entry and exit points are limited and accidents can occur any time can prove to be dangerous for life. In such situations, quick confined space services like first aid, high angle rescue service etc are given to the victim so that the life can be saved. So safety at workplaces is very important.

45 minutes of HFT fail brings Knight Capital to its knees
As a way to send information is email unsurpassed, however from the receivers perspective the signal to noise ratio quickly favors noise.. and by that time it is difficult to adjust.

The real failing is that the interaction paradigms for tuning the noise to signal ratio are extremely manual and difficult to verify if it has been adjusted or filtered properly once set.

I could be as easy as choosing who I care about, what I care about, and when I care about it.. but instead we are forced to set up smart filters, formulas etc and assume that we wont miss anything important.

Also, 5 clicks to unsubscribe is another kind of fail altogether that makes pruning the inbox time consuming and hardly worth the effort when compared to just letting the spam, coupon pepper your real communications. Wouldn't it be nice if email automatically park those offers on a side bar? ..along with the rest of the no-replies? Keeping the conversations and action items front and center.
Agreed. Get something like a 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo laptop and stick 8GB of RAM in it - RAM is dirt cheap these days.

Laptops like that are 3/4 years old and pretty cheap now.
Inside the Surprisingly Lucrative World of Cardboard Theft
> I see no benefit.

The first benefit is that it removes clutters from your $HOME.

The second benefit is that you can now manage and backup your settings in a sane way.

* ~/.config contains config files (should not be lost, but if lost you can recreate them);

* ~/.local contains user data files (save them often, never lose them for they are not replaceable);

* ~/.cache contains cached information (can be tmpfs mounted, you can delete it any time you want, no loss in functionality, you just lose some optimization);

* ~/.run is for temporary system files (must be tmpfs mounted or it must be cleaned during at shutdown or power on).

Luckily most of the apps used on Linux systems now use it, you are probably using Mac OS X.
They are separate in the PHP software that gets targeted by "the vast majority of hacks". Those hacks are against popular CMS packages that can be scanned for and exploited in an automated fashion. In a CMS, the software being exploited and the content are separate, in PHP as every other language.

The PHP files where the content and the system are one and the same (hand written pages not using a packaged CMS) aren't part of "the vast majority of hacks" category. Compared to exploiting a WordPress vulnerability in 50+ million installs, someone trying to mess with the black box that is someone's custom written page happens insignificantly rarely. Your retort doesn't hold water.
Possibly the difference between the amount of subbed and unsubbed loans that you can take out as a freshman verses a junior. One of my friends (this was a decade ago) got a great financial aid package her freshman year at a private college. Then each year, as new levels of Stafford loans unlocked, the university replaced "freshman" scholarships with loans.

Still, a $75k jump is unheard of unless you're doing some sort of hybrid undergrad/med school program.

Bear in mind that Left 4 Dead 2 is still using DirectX 9! The exact performance issues they are having problems with are fixed in later versions, as well as them adding speed improvements in many other areas too. If they spent as much time optimizing the DirectX renderer as they have done with the OpenGL one (which, bear in mind, is hardly work from scratch either as it's in use on the PS3 and OS X versions of their games already) then the DirectX renderer would probably be out in front.
I think you will find that the key is used for a VPN link to the RIM servers, which in turn push the email out to the telco over another encrypted link.

Bottom line the handset has to be able to decript it, so between the telco and the handset there is a common key at work.

Still if you don't trust your own goverment then why would they trust you.

Let me share with you an example. I have lots of friends using iphone and lots of friends using android phones. One thing is common for iphone users is that they really don't care about spending $1.99/$2.99 for a small application which they might not use in 1 month. But for android phone users it's a different story. Then i can easily understand the sense that iOS is targeted first when building application. :o)

You can turn it off, but then you can't see who viewed things. (Similar to how LinkedIn and OkCupid work with anonymous browsing.) And if you really want to see I'm sure you can do so via another account. (I think it is possible because okc and linkedin hide private data but quora hides public data.)

I've learned to go with the flow and trust them when they make changes like this. My first impression is usually to want the 'old Quora' back but once I get used to them, the changes do nearly always improve the experience. I would imagine this will be the same.

They are very skilled at interpreting needs and desires we didn't know we had and quickly correcting themselves the times they do make mistakes (like the recent notification spam issues).

edit: lol @ downvotes. Unacceptable to not be a Quora hater I guess...

Chips and French fries aren't quite the same - it's a dolphins and porpoises thing. French fries would commonly be regarded as chips, but chips aren't necessarily fries.

Broadly speaking when we say chips we're referring to any hot bits of fried potato (so not cold fried potatoes referred to as chips in the US which we call crisps). Traditionally they'd be larger than French fries (maybe 1cm square and about the same length) but usually not as crispy. That's the way they're normally still served if you buy fish and chips. Sometimes they're even made from cutting up potatoes (rather than mashing and extruding them).

With the growth in popularity of McDonalds and the like in the 80s, French fries caught on. Most people would still call these chips but they're obviously different so if you want to be precise you'd use fries.

There are also larger chips (the traditional size or larger) that are fried until crispy confusing the whole matter further. These might (or might not) be referred to as chunky chips depending on where you are.
Quora is in the same boat as FB (and to a certain extent, Twitter)

I will delete me Quora account. So far I have gotten little value from it. Time for it to have no data on me.

Deactivated!

Edit:

I followed up with an email to FEEDBACK@QUORA.COM asking them to delete my account and data.. will see what happens. I dont like the idea of a limbo account that can be reactivated/mined.

I'd prefer to have it deleted.
I don't think it will spread too much.

When you go into an ER for an infection you know it's going to be expensive so you wait until the infection has advanced pretty far. Now it's far from 1 hour and may require many days of 24 hour monitoring. While the hospital might be expensive what are you paying for? 24 hour availability, rapid response, and knowledgable staff. Something that most GPs don't provide.

The Suspension of 8 Badminton Players and What we can learn as Managers
You all are familiar with the recent suspension of the 8 badminton players, including the top seeds as well in the ongoing London Olympics. Here is my take on it, and what I feel we can learn as managers.

The Point made in favor of the players : " They were playing according to the rules, don't punish them, change the rules." (the robin round system)

The Point made in favor of the decision to suspend them: The players were suspended as they were "Not giving one's best effort" despite warning from the referee in at least one case.

Though I partially agree with both of the points, I feel, that though the decision was right, but the logic behind it wasn't!

My logic: There is a thin line between "strategy" and "abuse of rules", in this case, it was clearly the later one, because it was morally and sportingly incorrect to use the rules in such a abusive manner.

(mind that, I don't usually make decision based on morals, but this time, my heart (morals) and my brain (logic) are pointing in the same direction. )

In simple words, not giving your best against (lets say) your friend at the local court, would make him angry, since it is morally as well sportingly invalid to do so.

Now what I'm trying to point is this:

Was their decision right: YES

Was their logic (official reason) right: NO

So by giving this example, I want to share one of my personal sayings:

" Your decision does matters, but what matters more is how you get to that decision. "

In layman language, if your way of thinking is correct, your decision will be correct and justified, though the reverse of this wont always be possible.

Why can't I reply to some comments? That comment about the new sandboxed folder structure made me realize he's right. What's going on with all those symlinks inside the container directory?

This just shows to me what a bad idea sandboxing is for those kind of apps that are supposed to interoperate with the whole system. Is there even a security benefit vs. pure unix permissions if you sandbox the filesystem but then you link in tons of crap that could be potentially attacked?

That coupled with this passive browsing would be a step too far.

Not quite sure what they're suggesting. A wishlist system, whereby I have a bunch of products in which I've expressed an interest? Some kind of digital gifting system where people pay money to buy virtual "presents"?

In the case of the former, we already have Amazon wishlists, or I suppose someone could go through my Pinterest and see what I like. In the case of the latter, if anyone actually bought me a digital gift then they'd probably get unfriended.

If Facebook can come up with a wishlist system to rival Amazon's then people will absolutely flock to it.
I'd be curious to know what/how you use Quora. I've had an account on there forever, but it just doesn't quite seem to hit the right level of utility for me to go back to it.
From my understanding of the NGS buyout (which preceded the great NGS exodus) it was on different terms to the SecureTest buyout.

Also SecureTest and NGS were very different creatures. The phrase 'herding cats' was never so much an understatement as it was from what I've been told about life at NGS.

It's also a bit more difficult to bring that level of control into a company outside of the UK. I'm sure there'll be an eventual absorption into the NCC cube (more likely co-absorption of iSEC and Matasano into one entity if previous activities are considered) but I imagine there'll be a fair level of autonomy as long as the founders stick around.

Also I still chuckle about the SAP implementation. We offered to test it years back but for some reason NCC weren't up for it.
This is a move made from weakness. The reason our company saddles middle managers with Blackberrys is the no-brain encryption. Some of us travel to India. There goes more market share for RIM.

This is how major sporting events work. It's pretty disturbing.

I don't know about the IOC, but I sincerely hope there's a backlash building against FIFA, and that maybe in a decade or so we'll have a World Cup that doesn't involve governments rewriting laws and such overzealous "protection" of corporate sponsors.

The Olympics is an incredibly complex event, but staging a bunch of football matches across a country is pretty simple, so there's little reason besides political convenience to allow such a corrupt organization to keep running the sport.

What can't go on, won't. There's no reason a college needs to charge $40k to an undergraduate. What's changed in the US over the last few decades is the ratio of administrators to students. I don't remember the exact numbers, but it went from something like 1 in 9 to 1 in 3. Colleges will simply have to make due without the third assistant to the vice dean in charge of diversity and lower the tuition they charge to new students.

Fewer people will get degrees, of course. Some courses of study are investment, and some courses of study are consumption. You'll see a drop in the consumption degrees, since those people could only get jobs by continuing on to get a law degree. There aren't any jobs for newly minted lawyers right now.

I would like to see the law changed so colleges can't ask about your family's finances. The kind of perfect price discrimination they practice would be flatly illegal in any other industry. Imagine going to a car dealer and having him tell you "Well, the list price for a new car is $100k. But if you turn over all your financial information, you know, how much your family's house is worth and how much your parents make, we'll adjust the price of the car so you can just barely afford it."
Why in the world would you go to a college that costs that much if you weren't rich?
I wouldn't say that NGS were the most highly regarded by anyone but themselves. They had a lot of technical expertise in various areas but terrible account and product lifecycle management. Still, there were some extremely smart people there (and I'm sure there still are, you just don't hear from them as NGS).
Um, CNN is dead last in the ratings. The vast majority of the rest of the world is paying attention to something else.
Quora has gone the way of expert-sexchange, showing up in Google search results for interesting questions, but then overlaying/replacing most answers with blur and "sign up to read".

Borderline SERP cloaking, to say the least.
What people you are following have viewed now shows up in your feed. This will presumably improve discovery, as your feed is the primary way to find interesting content on Quora.
...VC bubble.

Ok, so I don't actually think it's a sector-wide bubble but I do think near-zero real interest rates and excess capital looking for a return can explain some of the excessive funding rounds and valuations that have at least temporarily prevailed in the last year.

That quote is based on the (false) premise that privacy is there to conceal illegal/shady activities. It puts you in one of two groups; You're either guilty of something and have a reason to hide it, or you're not guilty and have no reason to hide anything. It doesn't include the possibility that you might not be guilty of something but may still want to keep something hidden. I'll give you an example. You might NOT want to give your phone number when you register on some social website because you don't want that data used for marketting purposes.
