Don't be so quick. Don't just consider single link transfers, remember that wireless is always shared bandwidth. If you have a terabit for everyone that means you can have hundreds of megabits for tens of thousands of folks in a small area all connected to one access point / cell tower.

A List of Bad Words from Disqus
We actually talked to a few insurance people and the consensus was that insurance company didn't want something like it. It's not in their interest for you to make claims. Our response from users was basically that it was valuable whenever they needed to make claims or inventory to buy insurance but otherwise wouldn't use it often. That was key for us. As a free service, we didn't see a way to monetize if users didn't come back.

Wayland/Weston already is better. That's the infuriating thing. If you watch the video from one of the main Wayland devs, he calls out the absurd crap that gets posted on reddit and LWN and months later, the same ludicrous crap is being posted.
Yeah, some other day this other guy wanted to build an "Amazon.com like app". I think it's becoming a trend in oDesk.
Man, this reminds me of a relatively unknown movie 'pushpak' - a silent Indian movie. The lead actor's house would be next to a movie theater but he will be forced to move out. He moves to a quieter place but can't sleep in the quiet zone. So he goes back, records all that movie theater noise and manages to get a good night's sleep listening to that recorded noise :).
I feel like, the whole idea of the military structure is to discourage critical thinking (this is of-course a generalization). It is supposed to make people further down the chain of command pseudo-robots to the people above them. As the people below become more robotic the chain of responsibility shifts UPWARD. So by following orders you push off responsibility to the people above. It's a system in which the more punctual and accurate you are the better. The less thinking you do, the more you will be rewarded. In fact, thinking is dangerous because if you screw up you're on your own.
$.ajax({url:"http://freegeoip.net/json", dataType:"json"})

freegeoip.net seems to send the "Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *" header which allows the cross-domain ajax call.

Picking a city ~800km from where you are is an exercise left for the reader.

I think a macro recording tool would be very useful (maybe something like Selenium).
If we had an estimate of the number of in-links and out-links in the inbox, we would have a more accurate sense of the number of people whose communications were actually swept up under this surveillance. The number might be more accurately portrayed as "greater than 49,950 and less than 100,000 people" assuming the typical mailbox contains traffic from 50 people. Not all would be Google's customers, but it would portray the scope more clearly.

Java, or rather Dalvik, has absolutely nothing to do with the kernel or graphics stack in Android.
The scary part about surveillance is that we built it, the government didn't.

Instead of the government mandating some Orwellian telescreen that nefariously records everything you write, or a national registry that lists who your friends are, where you went to school, and where you log in from, we built schemes that would record everything anyway for other purposes, like facebook and gmail, and then handed the keys over. Evgeny Morozov pointed this out when he mentioned that the KGB used to torture people for this information. But we've voluntarily built and submitted to it!

I don't dispute the need for surveillance, so what can be done? The best I can think of is a throwback to Bill Gates' emphasis on measurement. Transparency is important precisely because if you can't observe something, you don't have any clue what it is.

I know this sounds too political, but the very systems we're worried about are ones that several people who frequent this place helped build, for different purposes. There's no way to know exactly how something you build will be used, but there is a way to monitor it, and that requires transparency almost by definition.

This is just untrue. When presented with a hugely precise and successful theory that has never been demonstrated wrong in even the slightest degree, that is certainly evidence (not proof, but evidence) towards whatever claims that theory makes. If you don't understand this, then you don't know what the word "evidence" means.

Well, that probably depends on whose locks you're trying to get around. igrigorik noted that the proxy does pass along the user's IP address in the X-Forward-For header, which could be used to preserve a country lock.

Who will actually do that? I can only speculate. I'd expect Google video sites to pay attention (they tend to be pretty technically savvy in implementing their country blocks). On the other hand, I suspect most non-Google sites to not pay attention unless the proxy usage becomes large enough to notice (or unless they're already triggering off of X-Forward-For for other proxies and the like).
None. Transmissions in the terahertz range are currently not part of any FCC allocation (which maxes out at 300 GHz).
If you don't have any of those, then I don't see how the developer tools can figure out what the original source is. You need some way of mapping points in the minified file to lines in the original file. Ask your favorite CDN to also host a source map. Otherwise the best the developer tools can do is prettify the minified file, something both Chrome and IE do (I don't recall if Firefox Nightly does).
Here's my challenge, echoing a comment further down: If you want to convert folks to Haskell, write something useful in it. Then people might actually be interested in learning more about it. That's the only way you'll get converts, not writing boring, condescending lectures. My programming language prof tried to use the entire course to indoctrinate students in Haskell. He failed. None of his ramblings about how "pure" Mondads or such and such was or any of his homework assignments ever convinced us that Haskell was a better way. I don't expect you to get much further. For me, the rub was that he never showed a real world application. I took that as proof that the whole language is asinine, and that the claim that it gets rid of the dreaded "state" was bs. Another thing that always irked me: pretending that mathematics has nothing to say about "state". That's pretty funny coming from Haskell fans, who like to fancy themselves mathematicians.
This reminds me of why I am glad I have plain-text mode enabled in Thunderbird. I do not want my emails to be webpages, and I do not want email senders using clever tricks to determine how I see my emails, and how my recipients see them.

This is neither new to me or out of ordinary. I've been using elance.com for a while and the bogus things I see amaze me to the point where I can't figure out whether the project posts are true or a joke.

What is Conception? I searched for “conception text editor” and didn’t find anything.

In the late 90's, I began selling several command-line programs for Windows using the shareware model. I sold a command-line SMTP mailer (MailSend), a command-line POP3 reader (MailGrab), a command-line scheduler (TSched), and a command-line Dial-up-networking disconnect utility (HangUp).

Total income over several years was in the low five-figures when bundling deals were included ( some people wanted to include these programs as part of bigger systems that they sold ). I created a successor to MailSend called MailWrench that provided better support for Microsoft Exchange Server and SMTPS (SMTP over SSL), but the market just didn't seem to be there for command-line mailers any longer.

These programs are now free-to-run software with source ( with the exception of MailGrab).
I'm surprised there are no bids yet. There's always someone willing to take these things on, impossible as they obviously are.

I have been here for 6 months, tried really hard to find local tech community, sadly without any luck.
What...is...this? Is there any organization of these datapoints? All I see on the front page is links to single datapoints, such as this:

http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q50000

Which corresponds to "victory", defined as "term that applies to success" , and also known as "win" and "success".

Sorry, but what's the need here? This just seems to dilute whatever's going on at Wikipedia.

But in your game, not everyone wins when the equilibrium is held intact. It keeps journalism expensive which is bad for publishers and readers. All things considered the pros might outweigh the cons, but you're suggesting it's a lose-lose game which it is most certainly not. Instead it's classic supply/demand: the only reason the equilibrium crumbles so easily is because there's too much people wanting to be journalists in the first place.

For the second part, your plugin is written in Python, so you could use Python instead of Lua.
Interestingly, interwiki links sometimes have some semantic drifting effect.

from Omnipedia http://brenthecht.com/papers/bhecht_CHI2012_omnipedia.pdf [pdf]:

"""
One major source of ambiguities in the ILL graph is conceptual drift
across language editions. Conceptual drift stems from the well-known
finding in cognitive science that the boundaries of concepts vary
across language-defined communities [13]. For instance, the English
articles “High school” and “Secondary school” are grouped into a
single connected concept. While placing these two articles in the
same multilingual article may be reasonable given their overlapping
definitions around the world, excessive conceptual drift can result
in a semantic equivalent of what happens in the children’s game
known as “telephone”. For instance, chains of conceptual drift
expand the aforementioned connected concept to include the English
articles “Primary school”, “Etiquette”, “Manners”, and even
“Protocol (diplomacy)”. Omnipedia users would be confused to see
“Kyoto Protocol” as a linked topic when they looked up “High
school”. A similar situation occurs in the large connected concept
that spans the semantic range from “River” to “Canal” to “Trench
warfare”, and in another which contains “Woman” and “Marriage”
(although, interestingly, not “Man”).

If you read the whole article closely you'll find this:

Google noted that the FBI may “obtain ‘the name, address, length of service, and local and long distance toll billing records’ of a subscriber to a wire or electronic communications service. The FBI can’t use NSLs to obtain anything else from Google, such as Gmail content, search queries, YouTube videos or user IP addresses.”

So inboxes are not being opened up for the FBI as part of these requests.
Not a new trend. At least 5 years ago, people were asking for full functioning clones of X where X is myspace, paypal, ebay, whatever.

Here's one for $200 the user wants a full-functioning subscription sports betting site: https://www.odesk.com/o/jobs/job/_~013f05764dbe28e7e8/

I wonder if any of these requests find a) any bidders b) get a functioning site at the end...
You could very easily get a paypal app built with a $300 budget. Of course, it wouldn't have any features, would be insecure, have a terrible design, etc.
Making an app that opens the PayPal.com or Dwolla.com homepage shouldn't be that hard. /s
That applies more to the general search warrants they disclose than NSLs.

"Under the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) 18 U.S.C. section 2709, the FBI can seek “the name, address, length of service, and local and long distance toll billing records” of a subscriber to a wire or electronic communications service. The FBI can’t use NSLs to obtain anything else from Google, such as Gmail content, search queries, YouTube videos or user IP addresses."

While the sentence is technically ambiguous, we say ambiguous things all the time and still manage to understand one another. This is the domain of the study of Pragmatics.

In natural communication, we START by assuming that the speaker had a meaningful intention, and then attempt to infer that meaning from context and assumptions about shared knowledge. I can easily think of contexts in which your "French citizens" sentence make sense.

Simple: these are functions that a field army must perform during a major combat operation. (examples: Battle of the Bulge, 2003 Invasion of Iraq, Desert Storm, etc.).

You can't use civilian contractors to fix vehicles alongside of the road under enemy fire. This dangerous work has to be done by Soldiers. These Soldiers need to be trained in their jobs to perform well in combat and these peacetime functions are the best training we can provide here at home.
It's (currently, at least) opt-in.

Lisp isn't a language, it is a whole bunch of languages. Lumping half a dozen languages together obviously moves it up the list. Being old is working in its favour, not against it. Older languages have more written about them purely because of the time they've existed. Pick a specific lisp and try your comparison again.

The new Simcity seems to be immensely detailed and specific, every action has a reaction and so on. Could this be used for city planning, I wonder just how specific you can get to a real life environment based on land mass, population, placement, climate, etc? I can't wait to play it, but am definitely not a fan of the always on DRM that ships with the game as it just deters and annoys actual purchasers of the game.

This didn't feel like a game review, rather just an excited guy gushing over the nostalgia of the original games but it was still an entertaining read and got me excited for the game even if details about DRM and features weren't mentioned.

So many great games coming out this year, games are getting extremely intelligent and advanced. Watch Dogs (the open world hacking game coming at the end of 2013) looks great as does GTA 5 and of course Starcraft 2: Heart of The Swarm.
Languages don't have bijective mappings of concepts, so this is a hard problem. Do you have an ontology you'd like to propose?

It's a triple store (sort of) "things" and verbs associated. Right now every article in every language has a data point, ie: population on San Francisco, and every article must be maintained individually, in the future you'll be able to reference a data point and it will be updated in every article.
Sounds a lot like a graphical version of Dwarf Fortress, without a lot of the complexity.
Algebras? I learned some basic Haskell: the type system and algebraic data types.

When I went to study group theory, I found it came easily. Now I'm working my way towards lie algebra. The cool thing about Haskell is for any particular algebra, there's often a good tutorial or literate Haskell implementation. Picking the right algebra for the problem domain can save you a lot of computation, but once you understand how it works you're always free to drop back to an imperative language to do the computation. Haskell makes it easy to play around and discover deep relationships, but it does require being an a mind-expanding mood to get to a comfortable place.

I kind of disagree with you here, but you are close. The US military encourages critical thinking in all its ranks (something many other nations do not do), but it has to do so while discouraging risky behavior. This is what is so difficult, because unnecessary risks can literally get you and your friends killed. Because of this the US military teaches their officers and soldiers to follow orders but to give it some thought about how it's done. The only career field (that I can think of) where orders are supposed to be followed 'robotically' is the maintenance career field in the Air Force where the Technical Orders (instructions for fixing jets) are the word of God. Most of the time there will be quite a bit of flexibility in an order to encourage critical thinking but discourage risk.
