Ads are just ads, I don't think it's fair to judge the site by them.

That said, I think fantasti.cc is a mixed bag. As a community driven site, there are users with excellent submissions and a lot of mainstream porn.
I just did picture murdering my family over dinner with a fork. I decided the idea holds no attraction to me, and is pretty stupid. I am not worried about deciding to do it in the foreseeable future. Feel free to explain how this situation is not ok.

So are you saying that no one is ever harmed physically or emotionally when kidde porn is made? The opposite is actually true.

I'm glad Falkvinge is addressing this issue. It had to be done, sooner or later. And he makes a powerful case--especially section 2

2. The laws brand a whole generation as sex offenders. His argument is that teenagers who have consensual sex sometimes record it and they will be arrested as sex offenders and prosecuted. If this is the case they why has there not ever been a single case of this happening? He is again trying to invent an imaginary problem as an argument for legalizing kidde porn.

That's the format I use in my custom blog engine, which parses markdown files into blog posts. As you mention, this results in blog posts that self-sort regardless of file manager, plus it's easier for me to parse. The down side is the fact that auto completion doesn't work as well on the command line (because all my blog posts start with 2012, so far).
As a long time SRS user, I couldn't understand the flow of the US capitals example at all. Using Chrome/Linux, I only had one answer to begin with, and that was really confusing. The gradual multiple choice didn't make much sense for me, and it won't make much sense for language. With language, I just want to click on it and see if I was correct with my verbal guess.

I don't like the waiting for ten seconds for a new flashcard at all. Why am I staring at your screen for ten seconds? or a minute! I'm just going to leave and not return.

I have a story about performance of two of these. I maintain a Drupal website which under MySQL. Single server system, not very high load. But recently, last Monday it was in news and load increased some 10 fold. People started complaining that it does not respond, or gives "offline" message. So I managed to login to server and it had load average 130 or so, mostly under MySQL. Drupal gives no mercy to DB for sure. It just so happened that I had a recent copy of the site with PostgreSQL, as I had planned to switchover to use PostGIS, but not everything was working there yet. But site was down anyway, so I saw good option to test it against high load, I reconfigured site and restarted Apache to direct traffic to the new database. After minute or two the load average was in the range 5-6. Not normal for 2-core server really, but significantly lower than before, and the site was saved, and I was not able to perform the load test with real users. PostgreSQL was not tuned at all, just plain yum installation of latest 9.1.4, how much MySQL tuning was done I do not now, it was set up before my time. But it smashed my basic belief that MySQL should work better for large number of simple transactions. Stupid thing is that now I know less than before: I don't know any case where MySQL could preferred.

The reason this guy thinks std::list is buggy is because he's using it incorrectly. There's not reason to write removal functions like delete_person when they already exist with list::remove, list::erase, find, search, etc. There's no reason to use std::list<foo*> either when std::list<foo> and std::list<std::unique_ptr<foo>> work just as well.

His example code is very dubious as it looks like C-with-classes rather than C++, mostly due to the lack of RAII.

Intrusive lists are still worth knowing and using, it's just that the author's reasoning was terrible. I found the Boost.Intrusive page to be much more knowledgeable:

To me, X-Art and similar producers always felt like the other opposite of fake porn. It's not harsh and violent like plenty of mainstream porn, but the participants are still very much acting for the camera.

I think the only website I know where, even tough they never try to disguise it as non-porn, the participants actually seem to enjoy themselves consistently is Abbywinters.
We also pioneered colonialisation, plundering and killing the natives. The US was a good student and has now become the master.
Another problem is the address format. US sites that ship internationally almost always require a state field - something that's not a part of the address here in Sweden. For sites with lots of international customers it might be better to let them format the address since there are a lot of different formats: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Address_(geography)

Galaxy formation is not part of the big bang theory.

"PostgreSQL 9.2 will ship with native JSON support, covering indexes, replication and performance improvements, and many more features.

Propaganda? I get quite the opposite feeling from the article, it seems to imply that it has gained popularity by shady and/or deceptive means.
What? You make no sense. In your original article you advocate going native for now and eschewing Web tech. Now you say that "you're golden" if you use Web tech? Then you top it off by saying bridging down to native is slow.....

Are you just talking out of your ass? Have you actually built an application using Ansca Corona, Ruby Motion, or Appcelerator Titanium? Have you built a published native and Phonegap app to the Android or iOS store? Well, I have done all of these - and I even speak about it at conferences[1][2]. I can safely say you have no idea what you're talking about or you are pushing a hidden agenda.

I don't think that should be illegal. The reason its illegal is stupid "think of the children" / "why are our kids having sex?" / 'sex is bad' voters.

However real child porn should be illegal.
“I don’t care if they bought these patents to sue you or not,” Pender told McKeon. “They are a property right.”

Surely he should care if people are purchasing patents purely for litigation. There are not many other items that you can legally purchase for the sole purpose of using the courts to stop someone from doing something that would otherwise be perfectly legal.
Wait I don't understand, are we assuming that the lottery ticket has a 100% chance of being worth $20 billion? Are we ignoring the fact that there's a sizeable chance that it is worth $0?
We've got a coffee maker from Jura (www.jura.com) at the office, which works pretty well. Just make sure it's full of beans and water and press the magic button. Basically all the advantages of the Nespresso minus the costly and wasteful pods. The only con is that it isn't really super fast and if everybody wants coffee at the same time a line tends to form.
Her view is that many people do use porn as a model for their sex life, and that mainstream hardcore porn - which she things has a limited world-view - should not be the de-facto source of sex education.

All that is in her TED presentation. Perhaps watching that video would give you a different sense of the person than that NYT article about the person?

I think you are right to argue that she's advocating for more of the variant of reality pornography which is a higher quality of amateur pornography, or for more erotica. However, I think her real goal is that pornography is not where people should be learning about sex, and she's using this as a way to advocate that goal.

Framed your way, she thinks porn's impact on cultural practice is too constricting, and detrimental to the type of society she wants there to be.
Sorry but the pro arguments are rather silly and far fetched.
The last time I checked witnessing a crime is not a crime.
Child Porn is just wrong. There is no legitimate reason for it to exist. It is taboo for a number of reasons, not the least of which is is perpetrated against defenseless children.

Because IT JUST WORKS. Dropbox is multiplatform, fast, almost zero-hassle to install and maintain and free (up to a size limit). What more could you ask?

I often work on my Macbook on the train, then when I get to the office I switch to a Win7 PC and continue working on those same files. There is zero hassle and I can hardly imagine a better solution. ()

As a bonus I get access to all my files from my smartphone and ipad. And with the ipad being such a pain in the ass to synchronize, you really need some kind of dropbox-like solution.

But the sex itself, is it that much different than "real" sex? Are there really that many people having boring sex to make the amount of people coming close to and/or surpassing porn a statistical anomaly?

It's different from real sex because many of the things done in porn are done more because they look good on camera than because they actually feel good. Traditional and boring as it might be, missionary feels nice. It's uncommon in porn because you can't see the girl.

It's a lot like the relationship between stage fighting and real combat. A spinning jump kick to the face looks really cool, but a rabbit punch is far more likely to end a fight.

> Why are these US only? It’s a conundrum which we probably don’t regularly need to worry about, but it’s unusual all the same (I’d love to hear insight on why there’s no .us on these).

History of the internet: it was invented as a US department of defense research project, and grew into the beast it is today. You could buy a .com address years before the internet existed outside the US. Note that .uk exists for the same reason -- it should be .gb, which is the country code, but the UK had already been naming everything with "uk" internally.

So the .edu, .mil, .gov, and .uk got grandfathered in. Others disappeared: ARPA, NATO, Czechoslovakia. People can still register .su domains, if they like -- that's the country code for the Soviet Union.

Once a TLD sees enough use, there's no real way to get rid of it.

Back in the deep, dark days of the internet, when Napster was new, I believe this was one of the arguments that Def Leppard used against file-sharing.

Oh, and no Hollywood cliches. To this very day, this is the most authentic hacker movie in existence. Nothing else even comes close. And this movie is about 20 years old now!

I am actually pretty excited about the native JSON support, and overall I am a huge fan of Postgres, but this is the most press-release-y press release ever* . By that I mean that the quotes are way too "perfect", the kind you only see in press releases. Some PR or marketing guy wrote them then showed them to the person to whom they'd be attributed to get their ok. Nothing inherently wrong with it, just struck me as funny.

> I am actually pretty excited about the native JSON support

There really isn't much to it yet, it's basically a varchar field with JSON validation, it's not like you can query or index it.

I actually find the `row_to_json` and `array_to_json` functions more interesting for now (though strangely enough there's no `hstore_to_json`)
But to them they're not abusing it, they're just interpreting the rules very literally and strictly.

The problem is that any gameified system, like a karma or reputation system, attracts people good at interpreting rules strictly and finding efficient ways to exploit them. So you're actually selecting for literalist rules lawyers.
