The option is still there on a chat-per-chat basis but they removed the "Turn history off by default" setting.

Edit: Actually, I don't know that "turn history off" does the same thing as that option, they just seem the same.
This is far fetched. The threat scenario that page contemplates is "what happens if you're trying to safely run untrusted Golang code, as if it was content-controlled Javascript and you were a browser". It's not the case that Golang in its natural environment gives attackers the ability to paint the heap with malicious addresses and then provide themselves with a statistically significant shot at corrupting memory to exploit those addresses.

Your point is a reason that Golang couldn't be dropped in as a browser Javascript replacement. But nobody has ever suggested that it could be; it can't, just like Java (which was designed for the purpose but failed at it) and Erlang (which wasn't) can't.
Do you have any sources for experiments ruling out our universe being deterministic? I'm not questioning you. I honestly have always been intrigued with the idea. Thanks.
If Apple were selling a truck, do you think they would tell you its weight and horsepower?
You are playing with the definition of either "allocate" or "when" in that sentence, or ignoring what I wrote. :)
Use the same form and provide some additional context in the comment field.
I think you nailed it right there. Corporate R&D can be the best of the best, but there's no default mechanism to turn that brillance into money.
That's just turning off chat history, which is confusingly also referred to as "off the record". Usually when people talk about OTR for chat, they mean client-to-client encryption, so not even the chat provider knows what the content of the chats were, analogous to using something like PGP for email.
In medieval times what you produced had intrinsic value. If you work in a corporation it's impossible to isolate the value you are creating from the company itself. Maybe they take 80% of your value, or maybe you are extracting a paycheck and providing negative value. In any case though, I find it disingenuous to seriously compare this to being essentially enslaved by a feudal lord.

Bernanke: There's No Housing Bubble to Go Bust (2005)
To expand on others' answers: In Clojure, \a is a Java character, :a is a Clojure keyword, and "a" is a Java string.

user=> (type \a)
java.lang.Character
user=> (type :a)
clojure.lang.Keyword
user=> (type "a")
java.lang.String

The only unusual thing is the keyword. Fogus and Houser say this: "Because keywords are self-evaluating and provide fast equality checks, they're almost always used in the context of map keys." But here you're back to checking equality of strings. Not sure if the same is true for ClojureScript.

You can also use them as functions to look up values in maps. For example:

user=> (:my-key {:other-key 1, :my-key 2})
2

There are other places they're used--for example, list comprehensions with `for`:

(for [x (range 10)
y (range 10)
:when (= x y)]
[x y])
=> ([0 0] [1 1] [2 2] [3 3] [4 4] [5 5] [6 6] [7 7] [8 8] [9 9])

In Clojure keywords are nice to have.

I grew up in a country (Canada) where healthcare was free, but you still paid for emergency services. The two are not the same, and there is a real benefit to discouraging the unnecessary use of ambulances.

Go's goroutines are superior to threads in C#.

C++ is harder and there's no garbage collection.

I now have to yet again close my apps and restart my computer for an IT-forced Java runtime update, for some app I rarely use. For that reason alone I'd not consider Java.

Eh, that's more like angel level stuff. Wikipedia's history is lacking in details, but says "Jobs eventually met Mike Markkula who co-signed a bank loan for US$250,000, and the three formed Apple Computer on April 1, 1976." That's a million in 2013 dollars.

But I know they got VC funding later (and I seem to remember they weren't given the third degree in getting it) and Wikipedia acknowledges that saying "On December 12, 1980, Apple launched the Initial Public Offering of its stock to the investing public. When Apple went public, it generated more capital than any IPO since Ford Motor Company in 1956 and instantly created more millionaires (about 300) than any company in history. Several venture capitalists cashed out, reaping billions in long-term capital gains."

I guess i'd hold up the culture series, and the diamond age as my vision of futurism. Those are both decades old though.

Any suggestions for something written after, say, 2005?
OTR is important, but I don't think you really want your chat provider also providing the OTR implementation. Better to use a third-party client. Preferably open source.

Doing it browser-based also seems problematic, for all the usual javascript/encryption reasons. I've never heard of people using it in regular Gtalk, though. How does that work? Browser extension?

I've only ever seen things like using Pidgin with OTR, which should still work as long as you have a Google account (aka you don't need XMPP federation to talk to people on google's network).
This would be accurate if time were going backwards. The world it describes is how things were in the 90s.

For the last two decades, at least, the power of hackers/makers relative to MBAs/smooth talkers has consistently increased, and that trend shows no sign of slowing down.
I think we can see where the future is going well enough to know what it's going to look a lot less like the Enterprise and a lot more like the Borg.

It just doesn't make for good cinema.
Yeah, I've meant entangling 2 & 3 pair and measuring 1 & 4. But my concern is if we can still use this trick after measuring 1 & 4?
I am not clear why EFF is lobbying on behalf of the XMPP standards foundation here. The entire computing industry is cluttered with opportunities for interoperable standards, some of which haven't been tried, some of which worked out, and some of which were attempted but (often correctly) jettisoned in favor of progress.

Standardization is a good thing, but not the only good thing, and it always worries me when people make arguments that effectively demand that new offerings justify themselves (either with time or money) to existing standards groups.
I don't dispute that segfault almost always means exploitability (I've seen friends write amazing exploits using only the slightest restricted memory corruptions).

But the data races don't bother me at all, first of all you won't encounter them if you embrace a program design facilitating goroutines and channels (the often quoted "don't communicate by sharing, share by communicating"), and second because we now have the tools to detect data races.
I mention this alot to friends as well. We need new sci-fi concepts just like we need new super hero concepts.

FWIW, USCIS insists on all of its forms that you must tell them if you've ever been charged or convicted of a crime, even if your record was sealed or you were pardoned.
Spoiler Alert, HCI elements will plateau at voice control and touch displays. Why? Because the human body is what it is. It isn't going any further than that until it jumps to something matrix style, but that movie has already been made. Alien Computer Interaction however could offer some interesting opportunities.

Forget hoverboards and dick tracy watches, Star Trek still has plenty of imaginitive technologies that don't yet exist. Between cold fusion, warp drive, teleporters, transcoders, etc... there is still plenty of good tech to make an entertaining movie with.
Google Talk for Developers - Open Communications (2005-ish)
Thanks, I'll take a look.

I think the best way to explain it, is there's part of my mind, perhaps the really creative bit that needs to be distracted in order to actually get anything done. As in, if I've got a problem I need to solve and actually it's just a case of iterating/implementing to get it done, if that bit of my mind isn't being occupied by something I'll immediately try to "think the problem to death" which ends in procrastination and getting nothing done.

But If I have some kind of conversation going on in the background then that part of my brain is occupied and I seem quite capable of getting on with things.

I wish I could describe it better but it has really made a noticeable difference in the past few weeks.
Why does subject appear before body in email compose?
The latest Star Trek movie was meant as a prequel, so if the movie showcased advanced tech that's not in the original, it would look weird to the Trekkie purists.
This article brought up a good point. But while Star Trek is a vision of the future from the past, there is plenty of SciFi out there from very talented people with extremely fertile imaginations that is just waiting for some young filmmaker to take a chance on and deliver us a new Star Wars or Star Trek type franchise. The books I have run across in that have been published in more recent years cover everything from hard scifi that could be a reality today with a ton of money and the will to engineer it into existence, to the really fun theoretical stuff out there on what could be...

I myself have a preference/hope to live in the universe that Peter Hamilton conjures up in Pandora's Star. Its everything that got me into Star Trek as a kid and so much more. That is just one of many books that give me hope for our near and distant future and what could be...even if a bunch of it seems as far from reality for us as iPhones were in 1969.
Segfaults do not almost always mean exploitability. In fact, the largest class of segfaults (un-offsetted NULL pointer dereferences) are rarely exploitable. The argument that says "look at that program, it segfaulted, it is probably exploitable" is not really valid.
What if you're faculty and want to use them for research projects (which may/may not eventually get open sourced)?
In short. They didn't. It wasn't about IE not making a secure browser, none of them were secure in that regard. In 1995, almost all of the browsers were based on the original NCSA Mosaic source code (even IE). Once security started to become a concern and SSL was introduced, browsers immediately started implementing the protocol.

At that time the issue of security revolved around the retailer keeping your personal information secure.
I would argue that that's actually what the directors want, though. They want you to feel like the technology is something you can relate to. It makes you way more immersed in the film when you can relate to the emotions of the characters and their surroundings. If everything is too far futuristic, I think it doesn't allow you to focus on the movie's plot, but makes you over think small things. Things the director doesn't want you to spend time thinking about.

Also, I could easily see the opposite of this article being written if the movie was indeed doing what you asked for, from the technology and futurism standpoint. For example, if everyone just teleported everywhere (or something crazy like that), people would just call it ridiculous and fake. They would just complain that the movie doesn't relate to a realistic future.

I, personally, loved the new Star Trek, and thought it was incredible. I think they hit a great balance of innovation and futurism, but also still made it relevant to things we see everyday (iPhones, minimalistic designs, etc).
+1

Bitbucket has unlimited free private repos anyways. Adding your .edu just gives you the ability to have unlimited collaborators.
W and S in Opera select paragraphs (if you enable advanced shortcuts like I did).
In Firefox I'm able to drag and select whole canvas (entire screen flashes light blue).
I had this very thought while in the movie theater. However, I chalked it up to being a re-launch of a franchise with a very established lore and universe.

This isn't just a "movie about the future". It's Star Trek. With legacy comes baggage. I'm sure there's a small encyclopedia detailing the available technology at the time the movie takes place, as well as potentially canonical books, stories, graphic novels, etc. In this context, the writers have limited wiggle room in which to dream up "tomorrow's technology".

On the flipside, it's also a bit inspiring to see that some of that which was considered sci-fi less than a generation ago is now hum-drum reality.
OK?

I was glad to see the to-scale comparison. It helped me to see just how similar the two would have looked, had Microsoft drawn them to scale.
Funny. I used to work with the guy featured in this story. He always tends towards the extremes of technology.

About 5 years ago he was using a medical grade, high DPI display on his Linux desktop machine that required 4 separate video cards to work. He'd seriously have to hold his face 6 inches from the screen to work on it, but he claimed to love it.

Shine on you crazy diamond.
I think Star Trek is a bad example, as it's seen as such a prime example of 'good' that it's hard for modern directors/producers to deviate too much from the original feel of the material (beyond modern cinematic tropes).

Prior to seeing Star Trek, I watched Oblivion, which seemed to me full of futurism -- it had a ship that had a novel (to modern cinema) ship design, 'drone' design, antagonist design. I think we live in a world that is quickly gaining the capability of creating our ideas, so those things that were fantastical in the 70s but trope today are not as easy to devine today.

I was just thinking the other day that I sincerely enjoy how Scifi is quickly becoming a mainstay of modern film, because it means more scifi films to invent some novel idea of the future. You really should not be basing your assumptions of modern cinema off of a remake.
Here's an interesting summary of the US Federal Trade Commission "Picture Tube Rule" (from 1966) on display size measurements, including discussion of the merits of horizontal vs. diagonal measurements. http://www.ftc.gov/os/2006/06/P9242414PictureTubeRuleConfirm...

Suffice it to say, the discussion of how screen size is to be measured is as old as television itself. It does not imply one is crazy.
OP is not alone. I saw the trailer for elysium and immediately thought, Rendezvous with Rama ( 50 yrs old ). For me, part of the problem with envisioning a future that is so much 'more' than what we have today, on the order of how Star Trek was in the 60s, is a consequence of how much our scientists understand 'limits' today than they did then. Elevated freeways, and floating cars, simply aren't practical given our understanding of physics and energy. The most practical 'sf' that we've seen lately is about human simulation, and as far as the big screen goes, that's pretty boring. Also correct me if I'm wrong, but since the transistor, we've seen three waves of digitization, digitization of tools ( calculator ), digitization of human society/social interaction ( message-boards -> facebook ), and finally we are beginning the third and final stage, digitization of ourselves ( quantified self, implantable bio-tech ). This 'second renaissance' if you will seems to end with human virtualization ( after which no reasonable extrapolation seems plausible ).

From a SF big-picture sort of movie archetype, this stuff seems pretty tired, thin and boring. I think we are only beginning to understand the societal implications of the first two waves of digitization, and even the most hardcore dystopia hasn't yet captured all the avenues of the third. Seems to me, Hollywood can only make blockbusters profitable, and the type of SF that we are envisioning now is a lot more subtle.
just use bitbucket for private repos.
I really don't understand why this is crazy at all. Clock speeds haven't been useful for years in determining your overall system preformance (have they ever, really? There are so many numbers involved in getting a meaningful picture of performance for almost any computing device that putting that information out there would confuse most people.

Furthermore, you can't just run almost any OS on the iPad anyway (like, say, you can with a Mac) so it's not directly relevant as say, on a PC.
The worst part I imagine would be hitting shift. Maybe onscreen keyboard or remap certain keys for special characters.
Or you as the customer can get ripped off with no recourse, especially as less scrupulous types cotton on to the fact that once they have your money there's nothing much you can do about it.
It's hard to make out exactly what your point is but you're correct if you're trying to say that the price here is not simply about supply and demand. The costs of ambulances are subsidized in many ways (but they're never "free") and you're also dealing with people who generally don't have the ability to shop around. It's not a "market" item, really, on either side of the transaction.

Regarding rural areas and small towns: they often keep costs down by having crappy medical services in general, and slower response times specifically. It's not always that bad, though. If a town isn't sprawled out response times shouldn't suffer so much.
> It's not the case that Golang in its natural environment gives attackers the ability to paint the heap with malicious addresses and then provide themselves with a statistically significant shot at corrupting memory to exploit those addresses.

What if a Go program allowed Go objects to be scripted by untrusted user code written in JavaScript? In browsers it is very possible to corrupt the Frame (Gecko)/RenderObject (WebKit) tree, which is in a C++ heap that is separate from the JavaScript heap.

The memory safety issues in C++ are a problem not because they mean that untrusted code written in C++ can't safely be executed (although it does mean that). It also means that safe languages become easily weaponizable. JavaScript (or Lua, or whatever) embedded in a Go program could paint the heap with malicious addresses.
Companies are built on employees creating more value than they are paid. That's obvious. The fact that its harder to measure who produces how much doesn't change the dynamic, it just means you have to do the analysis statistically instead of individually.
> It's inevitable people will reverse engineer the client, as was done with MSN, Y! Messenger, and AOL.

I hope you're right, but to my knowledge, this has never been done with Skype, and to this day you can only call a Skype-using friend/colleague if you use the official, closed-source Skype client. So let's not be sanguine.
From what I can tell Go's goroutines are pretty similar to C#'s await functionality.

But I don't want you to use C#/C++/Java, I want you to use Nimrod.
If you want async, you could really just keep consuming from the channel with goroutines until your hardware catches on fire. There's nothing in Go that is limiting this behavior.
Er, so isn't that the exact same situation as Google? You can still connect with any XMPP client, but XMPP support is now just a proxy into the world of Hangouts.

However, high margins are less safe than they look. The article omits the fact that a high-margin competitor in mobile devices can retreat from market share only so far before it becomes impossible to maintain a viable ecosystem behind their product.

Maybe it wouldn't handle crazy situations out of the box, but WP is already in that situation anyway.
You went to a recycled franchise expecting something mind-blowingly new?

It's an action-oriented big-budget Star Trek blockbuster - you go to see spaceships crashing into each other. Intelligent sci-fi rarely sells enough tickets to justify a budget in the hundreds of millions.

I don't really like the reboot either (wrong tone entirely if you ask me) but you can't say you could expect much after the first, right?

Looks like they changed the ad. Hardly seems malicious.
I tend to have an opposite reaction -- I get annoyed with futurism that is unrealistic compared to how far in the future the story takes place.

Even Star Trek is completely unrealistic - it takes place less than 25 decades from now. There's no way we have space vehicles so advanced so soon.

(edit: even ignoring 'warp speed')
That's about equivalent to saying that I did something first because I did it at 7:00 AM Pacific Time and you did it at 9:00 AM Eastern Time. I mean, clock time _is_ how we measure time, right? And 7 is clearly less than 9. Diagonal measures are a useful shorthand for size when aspect is the same, but they are deceptive when comparing two screens with different aspects.
My understanding of lightning rods is that they help more in that they help dissipate charges from the surrounding air, preventing a strike, rather than actually taking the strike, in most cases.

Your understanding is incorrect. See, for example http://www.srh.noaa.gov/jetstream/lightning/lightning_faq.ht..., for evidence that lightning rods increase the odds of being struck by lightning and decrease the damage if you are.
