Sony is losing a lot in the TV market, same as Panasonic. I am not sure you can "fix" the TV market, since the TV's role is still changing, and hardware innovations become less and less important, so there's no way to go back to the boom of early LCD. I personally would like to have a "dumb" instead of a "Smart" TV, basically just a huge display to which I can hook my PC or whatever box I want. But it'll take some years in which the big guys will desperately try to keep the old ways alive.

e: previous version of this comment said Sony's Imaging division was quite healthy, while they are losing money too. But as mirrorless is a new market, I guess it's worth to lose money to establish a good market position.
Absolutely. Strong agree!
She is my childhood sweetheart and we have been through an awful lot together. She has stood by me in times when I didn't even care or stand by myself, when I felt disgusting and unloved (I suffer from a mood disorder which produced psychotic symptoms at its peak). She was there when even some family refused to be there.

To be poetic, my love for her transcends that of anything I'be ever known or witnessed. It seems we are stronger than my parents and her parents and they have been together for around 20 - 25 years each. We are 100% dedicated to each other and the thought if not being with her makes me physically sick.
No, he's got some decent concepts, but the way he uses them comes off as inauthentic. He really doesn't have the full picture of human relationships here. Though it may very well work for him—and more power to him if it does—what these kind persons have pointed out is that it is not generalizable advice, since it alienates a good portion of people from making contact in the first place. I tend to agree.

However, he makes some excellent points about keeping the hiring process honest and genuine, and I think you could use that advice generally and apply it to your own personality with ease.

I think Nokia would like to spin off NSN while their brand of IMS technology is still in fashion.

The big networking vendors used to compete generationally like companies in other fields (think GE and Lockheed with Jet Engines). This is still the case and two of the dominant vendors, NSN and Ericsson, have great current generation products.

The question is: will the next be the same as the last one, or will the next network be different?

From my knowledge of the industry, I can tell you that the client demands are changing and now would be the best time to unload NSN, at the height of their value cycle.

If you're pessimistic about NSN's long-term network strategy, sell. If You believe they've got it figured out, why would you sell your cash cow?

It's not really what you described, but this is quite jolly: https://howsecureismypassword.net.
>It's also theoretically impure in any case, as you've done nothing but add an additional peripheral to the computer. You're seeking obfuscation, not real cryptographic integrity.

It's not obfuscation. The peripheral has a far smaller attack surface than a server. This is real security, even if it comes at a cost of reliability (though one can envision ways of fixing this, too).
Example.com is the third party. (Example.org and a human user being the first two parties.)

I disagree. When you click a link on a page that you retrieved from example.org, one that leads to example.com, there is no communication between you and example.org, nor between example.com and example.org. The communication that takes place is between you (party 1, the initiator of the conversation) and example.com (party 2, the target). The HTTP request mentions example.org, but being a third party, it does not participate in it directly.

The only conversation in which example.org was a party was the one in which you requested the page that contained a link to example.com, which has already finished.

In that light, it seems strange to me that under HTML5 (assuming I understand the article correctly), example.org is given a mechanism to dictate how much information you give to example.com. Should that not be your choice, as the sender of said information?
It's an amazing age too - they're doing new, great stuff all the time.

I say great, it's great if they're your children. If they're someone else's it's obviously dull as dishwater.
He had two obligations, his moral obligations to his students and his obligation as a school system employee, which were in conflict. He choose his moral obligation to his students, but in doing so violated his obligation as a school system employee. The school system did not ask him to perform anything illegal or definitively immoral. It is therefore correct for the school system to punish him for this violation.

It's been a while since I read the book, but I thought the modulation scheme was a form of QAM, which was new at the time. The book certainly emphasizes that it took the interceptors quite some time to realise what they were seeing. Still, my memory of the details is a bit fuzzy, and I know that you have researched this area quite extensively, so I defer to greater knowledge ;)
I found this quite interesting. Seems to be a sort of TV series/novel/visual novel... I wonder what was used to generate the scrolling text. It could be faster, but I guess you can always use Youtube's "2.0x" speed setting.

Not very bandwidth efficient though :)

Does anyone else see the irony of Silicon Valley? We have hoards of people who worship at the idol of mobile technology, all crowded together living in each other's backyard when a system is in place that presently allows any sort of communication with anyone, anywhere in real time. The only reason to live in and around Silicon Valley is to live in and around Silicon Valley. If you think you can't make a lot of money unless you live in Silicon Valley or Austin, Texas, then you might want to remember Id Software, Sierra, Valve, and the list just isn't limited to gaming. If you want to play the game of "please give me money so I can make money", then it probably helps to live near the investors you need to brown nose, but if you want to build your own company like John Carmack did, then live whereever the hell you want and use the technology you insist is changing the world to change the world. I'm moving to the moon.
Looks like a bird over Europe
Two things -

First: Where on Facebook is this style? In my current layout (which is the current "stable" layout - pre-graph-search), I don't see this anywhere. Not on my feed, not on my timeline. It looks like a timeline post (feed posts don't have a border around them like this does).

Second: What bugs me way more about the screenshots posted is that the left side of all the info doesn't line up. The large profile picture and the body text are (!) 3px more padded than the action bar, the "Like" list and the comment area. But! It should be noted that, again, I don't see this anywhere on FB, just the screens that Garry posted.
Talk to him a lot and ask questions with follow up why, where, when, etc. Also the more you expose him to, the more he learns, take him yo see a real train, a real truck, etc and explain what it is. Most importantly show love and give them fun. I love playing sports with my boys or just wrestling around. Every sat and sun we go for a 1 - 2 hr trip on a red wagon in the park, they throw sticks, rocks, etc. KISS

The problem with being the good guys is that it's hard to win against guerilla warfare on foreign soil without being evil.

The Malay insurgence seemed to be beaten fairly well.

Why didn't the Allied occupation of Europe in WWI and WWII suffer from guerilla warfare?

Which Allied occupation of Europe would that have been? In WW2, everyone wanted the Nazi's out, plus there was the immediate threat of Russian invasion in most areas.

In WW1 the allies didn't deploy major forces in Axis countries for any significant period of time.

Additionally there were pretty significant numbers of fighting-age men killed prior to the end of WW1 & WW2. That left less potential guerilla fighters.

Is the culture of Europe such that Europeans don't do guerilla war?

One of the first large scale examples of semi-organised guerilla war was the Peninsular War, where Spain and Portugal (and later the British) forced Napoleon's French forces out of the Iberian Peninsula.

The name "guerilla war" comes from the Spainish use of it during that war.

Also, see guerilla resistance movements in France, Poland and the Balkans during WW2.

I'm assuming the occupation of Japan went well because of the shock of being nuked and the surrender of the Emporer

That, and the lack of potential fighters, and the fact the Allies pretty much kept the Japanese power structures as they were during the war (they were too worried about the Russians to change anything). The Japanese didn't have anything to rebel against.
Here's my question… If it's basically just a reskinned Chromium, why even bother with it?

>By the way, Nokia is going down for the same reason.

Given that Nokia was able to adapt enough to come up with Nokia Maps [1] (Decent mapping app with free offline maps), Nokia Music, Intuitive camera apps; I must disagree with that statement.

Yes, exactly. I would be much happier if Sony, Samsung et al focused on making screens with low-latency, better sound, better image treatment etc instead of trying to hook me up to YouTube with a poorly designed widget that I would never touch in a million years.

Latency on screens today is high enough, even in gaming mode, that even the slightest extra latency can kill some applications. I'm working on a karaoke game at the moment, and that latency is absolutely killing me.
This provides some good parameters around whether you should continue working at the job you currently have. Specifically:

we can figure out if this job gets you closer."

This makes me think twice about my present work.

Welcome to UK customer service. You got one of the good ones - there are many much much worse.

There is a convenient river boat you could have taken from the center of London but don't expect anyone to tell you.

Screw you customer service is one of the worst things about living in the UK - especially if you're used to North America. I constantly dream of the days I can move back to my lovely house in Canada and put all this behind me.
AIBO was a big missed opportunity. The unit cost was too high, and the software not advanced enough. But those things can't have been having a huge effect on their R&D budget. They could have kept the same mechanical design, but increased CPU/memory each year, with corresponding work on the AI for minimal pain, reducing the price and improving the utility each year. If that work had continued constantly, we would have some truly remarkable AI pets available by now, which would make the ultimate toy for young children that live in apartments. That same technology could then have been applied to home automation robots. Instead we have Roomba.
The idea of waiting until you're 30 to have kids is a common one but is less simple than most people think.

If you're with someone in your 20s and you both agree to it then it's great, but if you aren't then the whole timing thing is a long way from simple. You're talking about finding someone, checking they're the right someone, settling down, marriage, kids etc. is a pretty long and complex chain to just assume will happen, and you're up against either your or your partners ticking biological clock (fertility decreasing as you get older and dropping off pretty sharply in your 30s).

It's all doable but I would say if your plan is to be having kids in your early 30s, that's a plan that you need to start acting on in your mid 20s rather than finding yourself single at the age of 30 and having to start there.
Whole heartedly agree. The list of successful tech companies from places like Sequine, Texas is very long. The difference I see is that the list of get rich quick with ideas is huge in SV and other "start up hubs" but statistically speaking, you have about as much luck doing that as moving to Hollywood and taking up acting. Build your future with your own power, not with a brown nose and someone else's money.

If Debian manages to actually use systemd by default, that may have interesting implications for Ubuntu which I think is the only major distro using upstart. All depends on how deeply would systemd be integrated of course, since Ubuntu already rewrites most of the system startup scripts for use with upstart anyway. I'd like to see some comment from Canonical people about how that would affect them.

I'd be mildly interested in seeing a slightly different kind of tool: generating color schemes for sci-fi illustrations. Bear with me here:

If you look at this gallery, for example: http://www.thomlab.com/gallery.htm , you'll see that many of the paintings follow the same way of picking emotionally appealing colors. Firstly, there's a really dark foreground color used for some objects that are extremely close by, at the edges of the frame, like a "door jamb" to guide the viewer inside. Then there's a lighter color for the midground (is that a word?) and a still lighter one for the distant background, like the sky, to hint that the pictured world is huge. Can we get a tool that generates triples of colors suitable for this?
Unfortunately most of the issues come from WordPress being written for a web that existed 10 years ago. Static pages with little dynamic content.

This doesn't really work on a more "modern" style of site, where the content is more dynamic and changeable.

Again, a lot of these issues only really arise when your product moves past being a blogging-style platform (such as happened to us), but this is something that either WP, or the WP community, seems to be striving for more and more.

Oh, absolutely! I loved their ingenuity, it's just too bad it's spent on scamming. I don't think I ever implied they shouldn't have internet access, just that the locals are hesitant about adopting it, so I'm not sure where you got that from. My question is how these guys can be guided away from the scamming and towards more productive business practices.

And I don't think you can't really blame them in their position: the scams work, and from their point of view probably feel victimless: it's white collar crime since nobody gets physically beaten up, and all white people are rich so they can miss the money.
Are you seriously implying that the 1953 coup wasn't orchestrated by Western powers? I've never heard anyone seriously argue that it wasn't.

the purported event is separated from the Iranian revolution by several decades (53 to 79)

I think the parent was implying that the '53 coup was what the Western powers wanted, but the '79 revolution destroyed that plan.

You are repeating a standard, oversimplified revisionist history which makes the US singlehandedly responsible for Iran's entire fate for all time, blatantly ignoring any other historical, regional or Iranian factor.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think you are misreading what people are saying here (it isn't exactly clear what they are saying, so I might be wrong too).

I think they are saying that the '79 revolution was an Iranian action, which happened in direct opposition to what the Western powers wanted.

In either case, I agree with you about the '79 revolution - that was completely Iranian doing.
It's operational/system security. That's not the same thing as cryptographic security.

Stop trying to patch a hole that isn't there. Salt is not secret data. If you want to protect the hash with secret data, take A1kmm's advice and use the smart card to encrypt it. But don't call that a salt, because it fundamentally is not one.
Well, I appreciate a good John Brunner callback.
1) User's browser requests page from Site A

2) Page from Site A suggests what should be sent in the referrer via the meta referrer

3) User clicks on link from Site A to Site B

4) User's browser requests page from Site B (referrer is set by either user's overriding option or the meta referrer from Site A)

So indeed, at no point does Site A speak to Site B directly. The meta referrer simply asks the user to either send or not send the referrer. If the meta referrer is not present or not supported, it falls back to default HTTP Referrer behaviour.

As the user, you can override this behaviour and force the referrer to do whatever you'd like. This includes refusing to send it, always sending it, or spoofing it. Firefox for example allows you to set network.http.sendRefererHeader and there are various browser extensions for any popular browser that will allow for finer grained referrer control.

Most of these are mainline stations, not tube stations. Would be interesting to see a ratio of price and zone to figure out where the cheapest, central area to rent is.
Honestly, this is awesome. As someone who once wrote MT-19937 in Windows batch files (and started a bignum lib in those too) I love seeing tools applied to problems that seem totally wrong for it.
Sounds great.. i'm using Debian on my Desktop and i would welcome such a move! Let the good old sys-v init system die, it has served long enough. I understand that most old init scripts would even work in systemd, so i imagine the migration not being as painful as it may seem..

Imho the issue is not about sexism (women make jokes about sex too). I think this is about treating people unequal.

Men looking down on women, managers looking down on developers, white looking down on black, black looking down on white, men only seeing women as object, whatever...

As long as you treat people unequal they will never feel safe and home.
Well, i hope this way Canonical learns the difference between open source community projects and going your own lonely path.

High level items:

- Resiliency of all hardware, software, interconnects i.e. no single points of failure;

- Isolation of the various routes, such that you can pull any plug in the system and there is always a route through;

- An application architecture that supports horizontal scaling, clustering, load balancing, error conditions, enough asynchronicity;

- Enough capacity such that if things start failing, the rest of the system can handle the load;

- Tooling and environments that support stuff such as intraday deploys and rollbacks, including database migrations;

- QA and testing processes to ensure catastrocphic bugs do not slip through!

These are all achievable, but it's when problems start interacting that stuff slips through the cracks.
> I prefer my professional relationships to at least

Interestingly, if you dig into what he means by "good" I think that he's also looking for more professionalism. His point:

> "Nice people care if you like them; good people care
> about you."

Reminds me of this saying:

"I'm not your friend, I'm your doctor."

For example, if I were overweight, I would expect my doctor to tell me to loose weight, every time I went for a visit. I would not expect him to stop raising the issue because I was sensitive about my weight, and it upset me to talk about it. My doctor must advocate for my own best interests, even if it makes him uncomfortable to do so.
