Wikileaks has been having DDoS issues for quite a few days now[1], and wikileaks.org (88.80.2.33) is not available with my ISP in Sweden.

I had a good friend whose first taste was uncut or nearly uncut China white while he was in Viet Nam. He kicked when he got back stateside in 1970, then used again for a time in the late '70s. He drank a lot and used cocaine at different times, too. He died of liver failure this spring at the ripe age of 62. I tend to believe the alcohol did most of the damage, but he thought the powders contributed a lot to it too. Hard to say without some kind of controlled study on a large population, I suppose. My scientific curiosity doesn't extend far enough to make such a study worth it.
That's interesting. I can't reach wikileaks.ch from my home connection, or from one linode instance, but it is available through a second linode instance (in Dallas):

https://www.refheap.com/paste/4309

These are the servers that are failing to relay packets, all of which respond to ping:

po-10.sto1.se.portlane.net (80.67.4.128)
te-4-4-gblx.sto1.se.portlane.net (209.130.172.178)
149.11.24.18 (149.11.24.18)

Notice these are all Swedish IPs.

The admins of these servers may be working with Wikileaks to stop the deluge of packets from the IP blocks with the most attackers, or they are simply dropping the packets to conserve resources.
Why would it be available so consistently in the Tor browser though?

The point is that doing things unusual to you is making you more clever, more open-minded, more interesting.

This is common sense. No need to expand too much on this, but there is a flipside on the experiences that Derek Sivers did not talk about. When you do unusual things, when you go deep enough into another culture, you will be changed. You must leave a part of your (cultural) luggage at the door.

For instance, for any Westerner, going into China for some time will change you own vision of the world, and sometime not only in a superficial way. Your political beliefs will probably be shaken (in China left is right, and right is left, compared to France). Your values will be questioned (confort, friendship, professionalism are different).

What is interesting is that there will still be some invariants. Even after many years in China, I am still French. My political beliefs have changed. My values have changed. What have not changed is probably what defines me the best.

That's a fallacy. "Free food" does not create more starving children. Whilst some famines are caused by over-population, it is far more likely that they are caused by other factors such as genocide campaigns, civil wars, refugee flows and episodes of extreme violence and state collapse.

Of course, if your solution to the "starving children" problem is to let them die of starvation, then you indeed have a final solution. And what a solution!

I am interested in where you are coming from. Personally, I would hate to look a starving child in the eye and deny them food to keep them alive. I would hate to look their parents in the eye and tell them that because they have four children that they aren't worthwhile keeping alive and they should drop dead from malnutrition.

So I do get it. My question remains the same - what would you say to a starving child? Or their parents as the child lay dying?
Not for the common definition of "system programming language", as e.g. offered by John Ousterhout, author of the aforementioned Tcl (http://www.tcl.tk/doc/scripting.html)

(Never mind that "web language" ain't exactly a great term, either. I'd apply that to some integrated language like Opa, but most languages commonly used for web programming aren't restricted to that and do enjoy some common use outside of that area.)
No, Debian is not going to use "Xfce by default". There is a ongoing discussion on debian-devel about what to put on CD1 (for people who install with CDs and no network), as Gnome and KDE do not fit anymore. Putting Xfce by default solves this issue, so does using xz compression for .debs. But no consensus has been reached : this has been committed in git, but no package has been released yet.

And as others have said, defaults are mostly irrelevant (or most people would use Vim in Vi-compatible mode). Debian is a software distribution, which is only a way to deliver software to your computer. You can install whatever DE or WM you wish :)

As far as I can tell, the plan isn't to create a standardised document but rather to provide greater transparency over existing TOS.

In terms of court testing, one example is the OFT in the UK requesting that Apple make changes to its terms which were considered to be in breach of UK legislation.

http://www.oft.gov.uk/news-and-updates/press/2009/136-09

I don't think the objective is to create incomprehensible terms. In fact I am confident that if most people had the time/inclination to read the TOS, they would understand them. The problem is that their length obviously puts people off, which is where the project comes in.

It's my impression that the discussion about ports, "full range of bits", "assurance that it works" vs. "decentralized" misrepresents Linux distros, or at least Debian - apt provides the full range of dependency tracking, package configuration, etc., and Debian maintains a centralized repository, often with local patches (just like ports), where things are guaranteed to work. The only real difference is the emphasis on source vs binary, which is important but not as fundamental as the article suggests.

Edit: And later on...

The individual releases of a given distribution are much more independent of each other, so it's harder to turn your RedHat 7.3 system into a RedHat 8 system. [...] With a Linux system, however, you tend to find yourself trying to keep a handful of obvious things upgraded, while others get further and further behind, until eventually you just reinstall with the latest version to bring it up to date.

That may be true for RedHat (which I've never used), but Debian has always had good old apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade to bring everything up to date.

Another Times article has some more info on the Q (it is being made somewhere in San Jose), but the exact location is being kept secret. Would it be surprising if they outsourced the 7 to the same manufacturer?

"Google uses a contract manufacturer to make the Q. Last week it was being assembled in a large factory 15 minutes from Google headquarters. The company declined to say how many people were employed at the plant, which can run as many as three shifts each day. However, during a brief tour, made with the understanding that the exact location would not be disclosed, it was clear that hundreds of workers were involved in making the Q."

I think the real question you should be asking yourself is:
If I I get hired on to a start-up that fails (as most start-ups do) where is my CS degree, 1 year professional experience at name brand company, and x years experience at no name/failed company going to leave me?

If you think you are going to be sitting pretty after the worst case scenario (which also happens to be the most likely scenario btw), then you should consider working at a start-up. I think some other commenters have touched on this topic as well.
Interestingly, his conclusion about why he uses BSD matches exactly with why I use Linux. Personally I haven't used BSD very often or much. In the same way the OP says he's picked the right OS for him, I've picked the right one for myself and could underline my choice just as strongly.

There just is no one true answer to this debate. Each to his own liking.
Legalisation and state provision of drugs would minimise harm both to drug users and to society.

I used to work with someone who was a responsible, successful business man who nobody suspected might use heroin until a substantial change in heroin prices left him in panic chasing money to pay for his addiction. Had the drastic price change at the time not happened, chances are nobody would have found out. In other words:

You see the ones that ends up fucking up for one reason or another. You don't see the ones that manage, so you don't know whether nobody manages to deal with it, or if lots of people do.

(the other aspect of this is that his personal ruin, while facilitated by a heroin addiction, was triggered by the legal regime surrounding heroin that made it impossible for him to get at a low, predictable price; I've gradually come to believe that outlawing most drugs is ethically indefensible)
Isn't Intel using a modified EDG front-end? Or has Intel completely customized EDG to the point that they are maintaining their own branch?
I did the same - I'd been clinging onto the outdated 10.04 LTS for some time, because I didn't want to move to either Unity or Gnome 3 (tried both for a fortnight each, in daily use, and just couldn't be as productive on either).

Eventually, after having a go with Xfce and finding it reasonably good, I tried the latest Kubuntu (12.04, KDE 4.8) and really love it. Every time I come across an annoyance[1], there's a checkbox somewhere to turn it off, or change it to work how I want.

Right. Which is why Debian has a package management system. Most people never have to compile any of the software they use.
It's rather unclear what Dalton means here. The interpretation that seems likeliest to me is that Dalton can easily provide independent evidence to a professional auditor (i.e., someone who can be given trusted access to sensitive data, and someone who isn't easily induced to lie on a client's behalf) that the tally is correct.

Unless it becomes routine to actually employ these auditors, that doesn't really answer jtokoph's worry.

Postscript - Indeed, that's what he meant: on http://daltoncaldwell.com/we-did-it he says "In the very near future I will ask an impartial 3rd party take a look at our data (while preserving all privacy of our backers) and publicly verify that the join.app.net was operated in an honest manner."

I prefer the new name in any event but that doesn't take into account the goodwill you have built up with the old name. The problem is the lack of certainty over the outcome of litigation. Clearly iZettle have at least an arguable case that there is a risk of consumer confusion but obviously it requires a court's determination to provide certainty.

The problem is that the larger entity is more likely to have the resources to engage in litigation which in itself means smaller entities are less likely to fight back.

Trade mark litigation is often costly due to the need for survey evidence to show confusion amongst consumers. One benefit of going via OHIM (rather than the courts) is that costs are limited in this regard and you can get an early determination from OHIM as to whether there is a likelihood of confusion between the marks.

For example, if you applied for the 'Settle' mark at OHIM, and iZettle challenged, you would have limited costs exposure to the other side if you lost (although on the flipside, limited recovery if you won). Somewhat besides the point in the current case but I thought it an interesting point to include in my comment.

At least the existing trade marks incorporating 'Droplet' are in much more dissimilar areas so you are less likely to face issues with the incumbents.

>My response is challenging the implicit assumption in the article (and in your reply) that the moderate use of heroin is worthwhile in light of the real risks that are entailed in that use.

Oh I don't think that moderate use of heroin is worthwhile--I simply think it is possible.

I don't disagree that for most people the inherent risks of using heroin outweigh the benefits, but that doesn't preclude from believing that the risks of using heroin are still exaggerated.

For instance, I believe that it would be optimal if the majority of 10th graders didn't have sex, but I don't believe we should tell them sex will likely result in death.

Present the actual risks, not exaggerated propaganda.

I'm not sure if you're from the US, but here we have an anti drug program called D.A.R.E where police officers talk to young kids about the dangers of drugs.

The dangers presented are so ridiculously exaggerated, that when kids inevitably learn that smoking marijuana doesn't necessarily lead to death and destruction--they begin to question everything else they learned from the program. Lying in order to persuade children is almost never a good option.
I majored in electrical engineering. This image was a core part of my curriculum. lol
Yeah, these comparisons suffer from the fact Linux really is just a kernel: There's no single Linux community, no single Linux technical standard, etc. Instead, we have Debian, Red Hat, Slackware, Ubuntu, SuSE, etc., all sharing software but not necessarily sharing culture or methodology.

(And on the Linux side, we have people who apparently believe that the distro you choose determines what desktop environment you have to run. If I hear about one more person dropping Ubuntu because of Unity ... I'll get more confused, I suppose, and wonder why they don't just install Window Maker or Xfce or something else from the package repos and use that, instead.)

It would be more enlightening to pick a specific distro to do your comparing to, as a specific version of a BSD project (OpenBSD, say) is more comparable to a whole Linux distribution than to a specific version of the Linux kernel.

Tenure track profs work 80 hours per week? Really? They work from 8AM to 8PM, 7 days per week (taking only a 15 minute break each day to eat)???

This doesn't seem likely, since they would be completely burned out after only a few months, and you would have diminishing returns after the first week. If you are really working 80 hour weeks then you are being incredibly foolish and wasting a lot of time being completely unproductive due to exhaustion.

But, of course, you don't really mean 80 hours, you were just exaggerating a bit to make your point. Fair enough, lets say profs are putting in (I'm assuming a proper research university where tenure track professors teach 3-4 classes at most) 12 hours lecturing each week, for 30 weeks per year. That's (at most) 360 hours of teaching, per year.

Lets say you spend 2 hours per week preparing for lectures (you should know this stuff already, but lets say you just need time to get organized). That's 60 hours, yearly.

Now, lets say you spend 4 hours every day working on research. Everybody probably would like to spend more, but some days you have to see friends or your wife/husband or kids or get your car fixed or whatever. That's 4 * 365, which is probably a huge overestimate for most people, but that's 1460 hours per year.

Now, as for writing grant proposals, or mentoring students, or whatever else, nobody believes you are spending any serious time (more than 5 hours a week) on that. I don't know how long you really spend on it, but I'm going to assume that you aren't writing more than 1 grant proposal per month, so I'm going to just say that I gave very optimistic and too-high estimates for everything else, so this will get rolled in as overhead.

So you're doing (drumroll) 360 + 60 + 1460 = 1880 hours of work per year, all but 420 of which is just thinking about the problems that interest you most.

If you work in industry, you are spending 220 * 9 = 1980 hours per year working on stuff that are not the things that most interest you, and almost none of it is blue-sky thinking of any kind.

Want fries with that?

Edit: With my really crazy overestimates on how tenure track profs spend time, averaged over a regular work schedule it is 42.72 hours per week, of which 9.5 is anything at all besides pure 'research'. Odd that, it's within .5 hours per week of my original guess, and I swear I didn't cook the numbers to come to that.
In my opinion the funny thing is that when it comes to drugs libertarians are trying to promote some kind of reasonable fact-based regulatory approach rather than the current moralist view which pretty much is all about punishing people just for punishment's sake. Too bad they can't apply it on other issues as well.
