It doesn't explain anything. In fact it is even broader than this whitepaper:

>the President is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate
force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned,
authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September
11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations,
organizations or persons

Hamlily v. Obama (2009) crystallizes the legal interpretation of the phrase a bit. Some key points:

>The key inquiry, then, is not necessarily whether one self-identifies as a member of the organization (although this could be relevant in some cases), but whether the individual functions or participates within or under the command structure of the organization

>The Court also concludes that the authority claimed by the government to detain those who were "part of ... Taliban or al Qaida forces" is consistent with the law of war

>the government has the authority to detain members of "associated forces" as long as those forces would be considered co-belligerents under the law of war

But note that Hamlily applies to detention and not execution. And in this execution whitepaper, it clearly states that the definition of associated forces "includes a group that would qualify as a co-belligerent under the laws of war". The phrase includes leaves a lot of room for the term "associated forces" to apply to other things.

But anyway, IANAL.

> Where is the "basis on sex" in this story

The type of attack (porn) seems gender-specific to me.

And it's plausible to me that the "same old face" critique is more prevalent with women speakers than with men. How many talks does a man have to give, on average, to get that response, vs. OP's total of three?
To be clear, you're arguing that [Apple doesn't show adequate concern] about (a theoretical) security (risk to a handset that was discontinued 2 years, 8 months ago)?

When you consider that humans have been on the earth some 150,000 - 200,000 years it's interesting that only in the last heartbeat of humanity's existence (4,000 or so) did we decide en masse to grant a monopoly on the use of deadly force to someone else, namely bureaucrats.
> I don't think this is true. For example, AngularJS, as far as I'm aware, does not offer a persistence story at all.

It does have angular-resources for restful interfaces. Which are straight forward and easy to use.

Well, the fact that you have to come on HN to refute these points means there's a problem. People aren't getting it. This could be a documentation issue, a complexity issue, or a marketing issue. But it's clear there's an issue. Just calling it FUD is disingenuous. It didn't sound like the OP was trying to smear ember.js at all, but instead give some reasons why they moved to angular. The OP doesn't write frameworks and doesn't know the intricacies of every framework that's out there. They presumably know as much as they need to to get shit done and for them angular.js was the more efficient path.
How does it not make sense? If more people can afford college, the price will increase because college is a finite resource. It's basic supply and demand.

The government subsidizing college educations causes the price of education to increase.

Whether you pay it back in 2 years or 20 years, the price is higher.

You also pay for it later, when you become a working taxpayer.
Maybe. This is federal actiom. Killing is deprivation of life. US citizens are generally construed to have due process rights anywhere in the world. So due process clause applies. The question, then, is what process is due? The clause means exactly what is said: people are entitled to due process, not more process than is due. Due process doesn't always mean a trial. It's a sliding scale. The more something looks like something that would require a trial, the more process is due.

What process is due when you go to Yemen and take up arms against the US? Should the government have to apprehend you abroad and bring you in for trial?

If it sounds fuzzy its because it is. The framers used a wiggle word like "due" to give interpretive leeway. If they had meant hard and fast judicial process they would have said so.
Frankly just something that is a democracy at all. An elite ruling class that votes on things doesn't cut it for me, maybe it does for you.
It still violates due process.
If you are truly interested in it... I'll just dump some things here. :)

"Female sexuality is framed as something which exists for the pleasure of men" is a true statement in general media.

So. [Most] Porn. Watch it. Who's orgasm is displayed? Who's orgasm is typically non-existent (to the point it is fetishized when it does occur?) Make a judgment. Why is this true? See my earlier post about "bisexual porn."

Ok. Advertising. "With 'female sexuality' I thought about what arouses women." Good. That's a part of what sexuality is but not what it is framed as in terms of its portrayal in media. "You want that car because supposedly it helps you get the woman, it seems to be more about pleasing women than men?" I kinda hope you don't mean that. :) How in the world does 'getting a woman' as a heterosexual man 'please women?' If you are thinking about answering that question... don't!

It would be pleasing to women if their needs (sexual needs in terms of porn, practical needs in terms of cars) were met in media. However, only the needs of men (getting women somehow in BOTH cases) are being portrayed. That's a problem to men because it reduces us to gullible sex drives, yet it is worse for women because it reduces them to objects of that drive... dismissing any quality that a woman can have as an individual.

This is an example of the objectification you see discussed here. Women are the object, men are the subject, we see this in porn, advertisement, and even employment posters (gee, we wonder why 52% of women drop out of the programming field after college.) It's kinda gross and defeating when you take the "red pill" and start to see it everywhere. Even more daunting when you go against the grain of prevailing thought and start talking about this being an actual problem. It just seems like everybody else took the "blue pill" and just don't want to see it. But it does have a negative effect that has been thoroughly studied.

If we accept these tenets as true, and I do and will strongly suggest that you do as well, then we have to see the attack here as sexist. The attack serves to objectify in the same manner as media: by removing individuality, quality, and self from the person. It uses the sexualized images of women just as media uses for this purpose. It is done against a woman, who as I've discussed are oppressed as opposed to men who are simply (at most) discriminated against. It was done so in an obviously malicious manner (that is, beyond parody) in order to hurt their reputation by targeting the fact that they are female (given the nature of their attack,) not by aspects of their character or refuting the merit of their knowledge. That serves to oppress via discrimination determined by their gender: sexist.
The downer of having only one Earth to work with is that you have only one Earth to work with.

Models, measurements, their comparisons to expected outcomes are all that we've got in this particular scientific department. The "experiment" is comparing your best model with what happened before and what happens next, not with running the same thing a thousand times.
In particular, this part is interesting on page 10:

"Finally, the department notes that under the circumstances described in this paper, there exists no appropriate judicial forum to evaluate these constitutional considerations. It is well established that "matters intimately related to foreign policy and national security are rarely proper subjects for judicial intervention" because such matters "frequently turn on standards that defy judicial application," or, "involve the exercise of a discretion demonstrably committed to the executive or legislature" Were a court to intervene here, it might be required to inappropriately to issue an ex ante command to the President and the officials responsible for operations with respect to their specific tactical judgment to mount a potential lethal operation against a senior operational leader of al-Qa'ida or its associated forces. And judicial enforcement of such orders would require the Court to supervise inherently predictive judgments by the President and his national security advisors as to when and how to use force against a member of an enemy force against which Congress has authorized the use of force [emphasis mine]

edit: The entire foundation for Document this is based on the following from page 14:

"The United States is currently in the midst of a congressionally authorized armed conflict with al-Qa'ida and associated forces, and may act in national self defense to protect U.S. persons and interests who are under continual threat of violent attack by certain al-Q'aida operatives planning operations against them."
Hold on guys! Before you believe anything you read on there I've uncovered an interesting article on the dark truth behind verifiedfacts.org! http://www.verifiedfacts.org/i/verifiedfacts-org/MTg5OTQ
I defer to Jameel Jaffer's concerns about target location: http://www.aclu.org/blog/national-security/justice-departmen...

I am well aware of Yamamoto's killing. Allow me to refer you to the killing of Herberts Cukurs.
This is what I was looking for. I gather the framework is allergic to conditionals.
I don't get these kinds posts really maybe because I use Ember (most of the time) but I also use Batman and Sencha Touch... I like that there is so much going on with so many projects in this area of development because it's what interests me...

And while I do feel some of your points aren't very accurate they are after all your feelings and observations and I'm not 100% of the time in love with the state of things either... and then I realize--

Ember is in its infancy and because I have faith in Tom and Yahuda, based on their pre-Ember work and the way they go about moving Ember forward now, I just know in my heart that I'm not wasting my time investing in Ember now and for the future.

Thats a far different feeling from what I get when I use Angular.
hmm... so tab cycles only one way, or is there a shift tab to move the other way in selections?
Riiiiggght.

Because the military and law enforcement obey rules and don't break them all the time with ZERO punishment for doing so, or if it's bad enough they find one scapegoat for the whole chain of command like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynndie_England

We enable pretty freaking horrible things all the time but the worst is that we justify it.

How about the kid in Gitmo who killed himself after being found innocent TWICE but they still refused to release him?
Linux and Android. Mostly. I have a Hackintoshed netbook, and a Windows 7 laptop that dual boots to Fedora. But, anything I care about (work, activism) happens on Linux. Windows is for games.
As I mentioned in another post, a "model" only works within its known limits. If the Earth is getting warmer outside of the limits of the established model, your model is not valid anymore. You know the xkcd joke about extrapolation, I guess?

I remember Al Gore showing the level of CO2 increase by jumping on an elevator and saying "imagine how much this increase will bring the temperature up!". But truth is, we don't know, nobody knows how much it will increase. There is no model data for that.
This is solvable in 3 minutes with no programming knowledge for probably less than you'd pay to host it yourself: http://www.backblaze.com/ for $4/month you don't even have to think about it.
Shift-tab cycles the other way. Both the tab and the shift-tab mappings are configurable.

Note that shift-tab won't work in the console because the console won't pass that key combo to vim. Again, this can be remapped.
Would you mind explicitly stating the flaw in my argument instead of directing me to some website? I can (and often do) read articles of this nature but with a title of "Pro Gun Myths" I'd rather cut out any potential bias and hear your direct argument.

It might, but it doesn't clearly do so. Due process does not mean a trial. It means what is reasonable under the circumstances. The length of the paper tries to show that there are no reasonable alternatives in the case capture is not feasible. It's a non trivial argument.
Evasi0n Jailbreak's Userland Component
It works flawlessly on Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, etc. I have tried in all these distros myself.
Actually, it comes back to the user, not so much the coder. After I left a job a while back they hired some random as a replacement. The replacement had no Linux experience, so the next best thing for them was to tell the owner to move all software to a shared host (which they had had experience with before).

Everything was written below a public root, but the shared host didn't allow this, so the next thing you saw was: domain.com/publicroot/index.php^ when the new developer took over. The funniest thing was that they had internal subdomains which ended up public as well, one with full customer listings.

> and the trees kill quite a lot of people

Er, the trees aren't "killing people," the trees are just sitting there. The drivers are driving dangerously and killing themselves (and their passengers, and pedestrians, and bicyclists, and other drivers, and occasionally a tree or two)...

If there's any action that needs to be taken it's to make people drive more safely. [Part of this, incidentally, is to make roads narrower and less open, e.g., by adding trees, to reduce the impression that a road is "fast".]
I can't speak for the parent comment, but the article specifically limits lethal action to overseas use, where capture is infeasible and where that judgment concerning capture is re-evaluated periodically.

Also, the U.S. military and the CIA are severely restricted from acting inside U.S. borders.
It doesn't have fullscreen.
UW-Stevens Point, where I graduated last year, has 16-week semesters.
Sales is probably the longest running remote working occupation in the world, so yes, it works. I know a number of people in sales that are remote almost all of the time.

Sales is much easier than tech/web development to do remotely because you can use commission and/or sales targets to quantify how well the remote salespeople are doing. Don't use a single salesperson as a "test" though; abilities vary so much, you'd have to have a larger sample to determines how well remote will work for your company specifically. Also, internet connections can go down at home, so if you have limited sales staff and depend on them to be selling everyday constantly, you might invest in a secondary method to connect to the internet or make sure they have a backup plan like working from a cafe.
At the very bottom, its my tribe versus your tribe. What makes this more disconcerting is that it is intratribal killing.

Moreover, the US has always killed foreigners. That presents no problem to our Constitutional framework and is a basic right of any state. Killing of Americans without judicial oversight, however, does pose Constitutional challanges.
I think you've mistaken a factual nitpick for a bigger argument.
Yes it does, because the protections provided by the constitution allow for the deprivation of life, liberty, property, etc. in accordance with the "due process of law."

There is no law here. Only an arbitrary, internal memo.

Very cool, for me the simple fact that this is searching for a subsequence rather than a prefix makes this awesome.

I am too used to IDEs only using prefix, which is often useless to me (I remember the 2nd word but that is it, time to google).

EDIT: I find the idea of a helper window really neat (display documentation, argument names and types, etc.), too bad the vim API isn't there yet.

The parent's point is that she is a target because she is a woman, and society gives such people more tools to abuse women than to abuse men. This makes it a sexist act.

There are significantly more males in this industry with significantly more popularity. Yet no evidence is presented that these figures also have received this level of harassment.

When the OP says that "[women in technology] are scared" it is because they feel that they are in an environment that targets them for harassment and abuse. At this point, we hear arguments like "this could have happened to a guy just as easily" but the fact is that it doesn't. In a world where such events happen with equal frequency across genders then yes, this might be a silly discussion, but we do not live in such a world.

Engineers tend to find it disconcerting that an action's goodness or badness depends on its context. After all, shouldn't we be able to tell just by looking at the inherent properties of the action? What if we can't read the context correctly? Well, the answer is that we frequently do, and the result is these inane argument over whether posting fake porn pictures of a woman is a sexist act.

The fact of the matter is that women in tech are targeted because they are women. They are overwhelmingly more frequently attacked than their male counterparts, and if you think this is silly, then I suggest you go make friends with some women in tech. This attack is another outgrowth of that pervasive sexism, and the fact that it uses a medium that is traditionally associated with denigrating women [1] just makes it even more sexist.

[1] Yes, there is some non-misogynistic porn out there, but it is the exception rather than the rule.

I'm the guy who made this presentation. I see a lot of complaints about the two-dimensional layout of slides, so let me say that this was made for a talk, and I put it online so that my audience could play with it when I gave my talk. Also, during my talk, I did lots of real-time demos on that empty playground page and highlighted a bunch of technical details that are not on the slides. Therefore I agree with those who find it confusing that this is definitely not the best reading material for learning d3, but like @bengillies said, it served my purpose as the presenter.

If you are interested in learning d3, there are a bunch of tutorials on the GitHub wiki: https://github.com/mbostock/d3/wiki/Tutorials, and I like this one in particular: http://mbostock.github.com/d3/tutorial/circle.html. Not comprehensive, but very clear on what it covers.

Let me also recommend this talk for d3 starters: http://vimeo.com/35005701. It starts with very basic stuffs (JSON), and has lots of live demos. I kinda learned from it when making this presentation.
If the GP is advocating that ideas and their expressions shouldn't be 'private' if expressed publicly, then comparing it to stealing is incorrect.

> Just because it's possible to steal something, you/society should allow it to happen?

A closer comparison would be: you heard me tell a story. You don't think society should allow you to tell it to someone else because I 'own' it, and to tell someone else is to 'steal' from me.
This is unique, usually GoDaddy by default makes the payment recurring without your permission. I was forced to stay another year just because at the time of registering one of the domains with them, they had made it as a recurring payment in my PayPal.

Ofcourse, I learned my lesson the 2nd year when everything got auto renewed ( with the unwanted extra perks ) so as soon as that happened I removed GoDaddy from my PayPal Subscriptions list. And tried to move out quickly from there.

But generally even after expiry you have the 30 days of grace period and during that period its still is yours. Happened to one of my domains at namecheap, I missed the renewal date and it went into the grace period but I was able to renew it in that grace period without any difficulty.

I hope you get your issue resolved efficiently.
"I can’t show a box with help text related to the function right next to the completion menu in Vim"

Unless I am doing code review, I don't read code with the intent to find latent bugs or insecure idioms. I assume the programmer who wrote the code was competent, and wrote a correctly functioning program. (If I cannot assume this, then why am I using the code at all?)

If I am doing code review, then I have the man pages open anyways. If I am trying to write bug-free code myself, then I have the man pages open anyways. In these cases it doesn't much matter what form of flag I use. But the most common case of reading code is a brief scan trying to grok what the code does, which shouldn't require frequent reference to man-pages in much the same way that reading a novel shouldn't require frequent reference to a dictionary.

I understand your concerns about false sense of security and unexpected behavior in corner cases. I've browsed the IOCCC, I've browsed the CVE database, I know how easy it is to hide nasty behavior in unexpected corner case interactions, and that the only defense against them is vigilant attention to documented behavior.

To my mind the most common interactions with code, in decreasing order, are as follows:

1. Executing it. (Flag agnostic, portability issues aside.)

2. Reading it. (Descriptive flags >>> Cryptic flags.)

3. Maintaining it. (Standard flags >> Obscure flags.)

4. Writing it. (Short flags > Verbose flags.)

So I would say the most important thing is that flags are descriptive of their behavior. The second most important thing is that they are common and standardized, but this isn't as important as descriptiveness -- a less common flag that describes its operation better wins. The least important thing is brevity, it only matters once.
