European companies considering hosting personal data on American servers need to consult the so called Safe Harbour List, which is a list maintained by the American Department of Commerce:
http://safeharbor.export.gov/list.aspx

Now, what it means when a company is on the safe harbour list, is that the company has declared that it adheres to a privacy policy that complies with the U.S.- EU Safe Harbor agreements:
http://export.gov/safeharbor/eu/eg_main_018493.asp

As the OP shows, this is by no means adequate protection against American government surveillance. But then again, many European governments also have surveillance laws in place that allow certain government agencies access to hosted data, emails etc. with or without warrants. Often, the scrutiny of your local government is just as relevant a concern as that of being watched by the US government.
What Games Are: Games Need Their Nielsens
Hi guys, I'm the autor of the answers.

Thanks for the feedback. Because of comments like these, I decided to spend more time at training people for a living, and I'm loving it.

So don't underestimate the power of web comments, it can literally change the way people live.

How to Browse Reddit at Work and Not Get Caught
One of the great benefits of Love, in my opinion, and something that sets it apart from a lot of comparable game frameworks, is the open source and free nature. It really encourages sharing and open (not obfuscated) code by having the default packaging for your games just a zip file of the source and assets.

Moai, compared, is probably a richer framework but seems fairly closed. I'm also slightly confused by the paid for cloud component. Is this necessary for making games? What part, or how much of Moai is free or open?
This is backfiring the US.

Any Asian-European company that I had worked with forbids the management of any critical information by any American company, not just cloud, for this simple reason.
QUnit evolving JavaScript testing
I think at present that citizens interacting with government services online is still relatively new, and they obviously havn't fully thought through the potential national security implications of using things such as Google Analytics and outsourced helpdesks.
Isn't the first C# example (the class) a pessimization? Why not e.g.

public class CircleMeasurement
{
public double Diameter { get; private set }
public double Area { get; private set }
public double Circumference { get; private set }
public CircleMeasurement(double diameter, double area, double circumference)
{
Diameter = diameter;
Area = area;
Circumference = circumference;
}
}

Arguably there's still a fair bit of repetition due to the constructor, compared to the F# code (and I'm not sure object initializers can be used with private-set properties), but a third of the repetitions have been skipped through implicit backing fields.

I think it's easier to go from nothing to absurdly successful in the US than almost anywhere else. It's probably harder to go from nothing to the middle class in the US than it is in Europe or other developed countries. It's also getting harder to remain in the middle class in the US than in e.g. Germany. It may be easier to go from middle class to 300-500k/yr in the US than in most other places, too (still difficult, but easier here).

The big area where the US is failing people is at the low end. Multi-generational poverty, as well as people who had 1-2 generations of moderate success dropping back to poverty.

You seem to be missing the point of the scenario they're testing.

Lots of idle connections (doing overlapping long polling) is exactly how many COMET servers work.

We send ~60 "events" via our COMET server (APE from www.ape-project.org) in a typical 2 hour period.

The server side work to decide when/what to send the clients is easy because it's the same information that gets sent whether there is 1 connection or 1,000,000.

The fact they're from just 31 different IP addresses isn't relevant. They're still individual connections from clients to the end server.
I agree with you. When ever someone argues that we know a lot about the world and how it works, the following quote comes to my mind:

"The universe is not only stranger than we imagine, it is stranger than we can imagine"

I don't know whether existing open bugs were moved over at the time though.
They're valuable if the server is used to implement a COMET server.

We maintain a large number of connections (doing overlapping long polling) and we send the same information to each connection (about 30 times an hour at peak). Even if the query to produce that data was poorly optimised it's only being performed once and then the results pushed out to every connection.

Another area where Lua excels is interacting with C code. It's very easy to bind, and it runs really fast to boot, making it perfect for a scripting language in an engine that uses C for the heavy lifting.
> The GPL is not "viral", unless you consider every copyright license to be. Would you say the BSD or X11 licenses are "viral"?

BSD is not viral. If you incorporate BSD code in your code, then you're free to licence the result under any license you choose. However, if you include GPL code in your code, the result must be under GPL or any other license that is compatible (AGPL for example). In that sense, the GPL is viral - it does not only cover the code that's licensed, but also "infects" other code.
Is Facebook Locking Down Its Social Graph Data?
That law does seem like it would be effective, but it also seems hugely broad. Just reading it it seems like you can accuse anyone of "stalking" even after contacting you a couple of times...

I'm not saying such laws aren't good, I'm just saying that the way that particular one is written means that it couple potentially overly criminalise a lot of situations.

> That's how screwed Europe is right now.

Referring to Europe like one entity is like me saying "Look at how corrupt Cuba is, that's how screwed up North America is right now"
For large number (1M+) of connections (doing websockets or long polling) to replicate the functionality of a COMET server I've been playing with rolling my own TCP handling via libnetfilter_queue as I simple don't need the ~10kB of r/w buffers on each socket.

Linux (as far as I'm aware) doesn't allow tuning of r/w buffer sizes on a per interface basis otherwise I'd have one interface for the COMET server with drastically reduced r/w buffer sizes and the remaining interfaces with 'normal' TCP r/w buffer sizes to ensure the other things running on that host run without problem.
>I do not believe JFK was killed by Oswald, for example, and I believe there are ample doubts about the official story of what happened in Dallas. And archives being locked until sometimes in the future, who knows when we will finally know about the truth.

For most of my life I believed Oswald wasn't the killer. Then I found a web site that was pointing out all the problems with the Oliver Stone film and it completely convinced me that Oswald killed the president and acted completely alone (I'm not going to look for it, but this should be enough info to go on).

There are problems with the official story and their are things that were locked up in the archives. But all those problems come from the Kennedys not anywhere else. The reason was that the Kennedys were trying to hide JFK's numerous medical problems (e.g. his horrible case of gonorrhea that a doctor had been unsuccessfully treating for years). Some of which he had openly lied about during his campaign and that info coming out could have wrecked Robert's political future as well. So the family took steps to limit the effectiveness of the autopsy (it was clear how he died anyway, right?) opening the door for all the crazy conspiracy theories surrounding the assassination.

I saw that elsewhere you mentioned the "back and to the left" thing. This is explained on the site as well. If you watch closely you can see that his wife is holding his suit jacket and his head does jerk forward initially but after hitting resistance (her hand holding his suit) it goes back the other way.

I can vouch for this. Best thing to do before a test is sleep! If you're too nervous, go to bed early at least so you can try to get some hours in before the morning.

China Accused Of Java, IE Zero Day Attacks
What You Should Know About Java's Security Issues
There are countless stories of people getting caught “redditing” while at work, with some even losing their jobs!

IMO we need to be fixing this instead of finding ways to slack off at work without rising the ire (or eyebrow) of our supervisors. I keep seeing seminar after seminar, book after book, blog after blog about 1-on-1s with employees. One company I worked for even required us to read a book on identifying strengths; this was not as exciting as it sounds. I saw corp speak like never before in this book and in the end felt like a hyper-campy orientation to the life of college designed at Freshman, except in the context of the cubicle farm.

This needs to seriously change, and I'm almost willing to try tackling it myself. i.e., pay more attention. Is there a tech on your support staff who's closing more sprocket tickets than cog tickets? Give him more sprocket tickets and occasionally throw a cog at him. Maybe it's just me projecting, but as an employee if you want me to stay off reddit, make my time on the job interesting; challenge me beyond just meeting the service level quotas for the week.

>A post-Kantian point of view is that these models of how the universe works are our reality.

Personally, I hate this view. There are actual facts, how things work, and there are our best educated guesses about what we're observing. One of these things is what I would call a scientific fact, the other is our best educated guess (and I don't mean that as negative as it sounds; we can do no better and may never be able to).

I'm fine with saying "this is the best we can do so we have to go with it". I'm not fine with saying "this is the best we can do so this is simply the fact itself" as this leads to ridiculous situations like saying "X is a fact" when in reality there are more questions than answers about X.

That's a bit extreme. If anything it will force a lot of introspection among the string pullers and any illusions people still have about privacy in the cloud (without encryption) will hopefully be shaken. When you affect those with capacity, you make things better for the less capable or incapable... All this is noise, and noise is good.

After all that's what cleaned up business practices significantly at the start of the industrial revolution.

In fact, this is just another growing pain in a new industry.

I've been using UK government services online for several years now. I'm not sure if it's always been the way it is now, I never bothered to look at the loaded artifacts and page source for the older sites, but I get the impression that it wasn't like this before.

There was a big fanfare a few months back about how gov.uk was modern, useful, using industry best practices, open source tech and was just generally awesome and cool. I think what's happened is that they've either outsourced to or hired in a bunch of hip, trendy web developers s who had no real comprehension of data protection.

As someone with an interest in computer security, and who has in the past lived with data protection consultants, this disturbs me.

Anyone know which minister or ministry in the UK government is ultimately responsible for the UK government electronic data presence? Or who I might approach about these Data Protection concerns?
There will be no introspection amongst the string-pullers. Have you seen the state of things since the cold war?
>Trust in a US justice system where my data might be? Well, we've seen that plays out. The US justice system scares the hell out of me. So much so that I personally avoid everything I can that might bring me with in the orbit of the US justice system.

And you think this kind of polical anti-US-justice-system rants help you in this? You are already on the top list of potential targets, if not for anything else, just for the above comment.

Kidding aside, it's not about the cloud. The cloud is a detail in this discourse. If you cannot trust the justice system or the government you fight, vote, motivate people, organize etc to change them and how they work.

Just avoiding this or that (in this case, the cloud) means nothing in the grand scheme of things. They'll get you in another way.
This is an insightful point. I tend to regard this scanning behaviour as a "quirk" rather than something fitting in more with some deeper Python philosophy.

A specific syntax for generators would in my view be generally superior, containing the same number of new keywords (generator now replacing yield) and providing enhanced clarity.

generator hello(n):
for i in range(n):
return i

I am generally neutral about variable scope being determined by the assignment of a statement in a function - in 99.99% of cases the intuitive thing happens.

The only thing I could think of was to have some kind of browser extension, that works something like this:

1. Start the extension scan

2. Scan all external CSS currently in use (page load)

3. Scan all inline CSS currently in use (page load)

4. Monitor (this is the missing piece of the puzzle): Developer uses the app and extension monitors new AJAX or JavaScript added CSS rules

5. Developer clicks a Finish and Report button:

a) Warning for inline CSS that could be moved externally

b) Warning for external CSS that is never used

c) Export (per CSS file, or combined and minified) CSS files, with unused CSS removed.

Okay, so there's more openness and transparency within that walled garden, and that's why it's not doublethink, gotcha.

$300 is kind of in the valley between "trivial for an individual to pay" (which I think tops out at $150-200) and "still trivial for a business". (under $1k for a single day).

Unless they were trying to capacity control, I think having dual types of tickets (some kind of $100-200 ticket with no receipt and thus no expenseability, and a $600-1000 ticket with expense reporting) would make sense, sort of like what HAL and CCC do.

I think you're slightly missing the point. It's not the use of recursive functions or data structures that is interesting. It's that, in Go, you can add a new type which covers externally defined types, and those types are now instances of the new type automatically. In other languages, to unify two types like this with a common interface, you would probably have to define a wrapper class which proxies the calls to the real objects. Even though the methods for the two classes have matching type signatures and do the same thing already.
To prevent cheating, test administration should be handled by someone other than teachers.

The fact that the current system has a bunch of cheaters is not an argument against more carefully and objectively measuring the current system. What next - bankers sometimes engage in rogue trading, so we should reduce monitoring of their behavior?

Another way to manipulate the test results is to manipulate which students are in your class or your school.

This is very difficult with VAM, since the goal is to increase (actual score - statistically predicted score). You need to reliably identify students who will do better than their statistical predictor.

I.e., you need to discover students who will improve drastically this year and then pack your student body with them.
