I'm all for tightly coupled display-logic and its markup; I just don't think it should reside in a JS(X) file unless it's generating a single tag.

While I agree that other MVC frameworks are not great (I've seen many of Angular's pains & weaknesses), I think this was a step in the wrong direction.

I'm in the Netherlands and it says the same thing for me. It makes absolutely no sense.

Not that I'd want to install this keyboard, as my phone has CyanogenMod on it, which comes with the thing in the first place. (And that makes it even weirder; the keyboard works like a charm.)
I think it would make a good discussion topic as well - Would you? If yes, why? If no, why not?
It's not necessarily your own. 2.4GHz goes through walls.
You're right, you can buy the one-time cards and they won't be able to track you. But for regular travellers like myself those one-time cards are much more expensive than the ones linked to your bank account. Not to mention the hassle of having to buy a new card every day...
I don't think there is one action that will accomplish that, it has to be prolonged, consistent and proactive action.
Do a quick scan of the post you're replying to for the words "agree", "disagree", "contrary". You'll notice that the content of the discussion is never mentioned.

It's all about tone. Disagreement is central to conversation. Sadly, it's also central to being a dick, so you have to take care with how you come across. If you think of yourself standing with a beer in your hand looking a group of people in the eye, you'll probably do a lot better here than if you imagine you're on the Official Internet Review Board for Startup Execution pronouncing your verdict.

Well, about the OVkart. I assume you were writing about this one. I visited Amsterdam and bought one with cash. Then I loaded it at Zuid also paying with cash. No paper trail. And I only did that because it was nearly impossible to pay with my Visa Electron. But that's another issue.
People are saying that no one can stop Congress or big companies, yadda yadda.

Maybe the solution is to find people who are doing the actual "dirty work" (govt employees, or telco employees), and apply pressure there, making it an undesirable life choice to choose treason as a career. Many people in the USA go to work every day with an explicit task of harming Americans. Make them prefer to get a new job or file for unemplyment insurance.
That's still possible, maybe not everywhere. At least this past Tuesday it still worked :-)

To whoever manages this page: please rethink the way you're introducing the library. I read the first three paragraphs and still had no idea what was going on. All I learned was that Stylus was involved. Then the next section talks about when and where to use mixins, and the logic for when to use the "native form" vs. the "mixin form" seemed weirdly rigid, so I left.

If you want people to use your library, they need to understand it. And if you want them to understand it, you need to be more compelling. Only after going back to make sure I'm critiquing you right did I realize this was part of a bigger toolkit at all.

Another "Dutchie" here! :)
The scariest thing about the anti-pedo craze is that it is incredibly easy to get falsely convicted. If you don't like someone, you can download some child porn on their computer, call the cops on them, and there is absolutely no way for them to prove themselves innocent (which they shouldn't have to do, but in our system this is the case.) Yes there are measures you can take against this, but if the person knows what they are doing and has physical access to your work place or computer, then all but the most paranoid of individuals is vulnerable. I remember reading a case where a sociopath did this just to get rid of an employee whose parking place she wanted (who knows how many others have done the same and gotten away with it.)

It's also easy to accidentally download or access a site with it, or have a suggestive picture or drawing, etc. Not to mention teens "sexting" and stuff like that.

Years ago many people were falsely convicted of child molestation by unreliable child witnesses who were basically told what to say.

Many of the people who did get falsely convicted were heavily abused in prison by guards and other inmates because of the stigma associated with pedophiles. If you ever get out, being a registered sex offender can destroy your life. Even if you aren't convicted, just the accusation can destroy families and reputations.

And yet on the other hand child abuse is absolutely terrible and I want to do everything possible to stop it. But way too many innocents are sacrificed for it.
This is not evidence for anything - the theory kind of checks out but it can be argued that there are other confound variables and that the direction of causality is not as simple as they make it out to be. Also just because IQ can be (slightly) trained it does not mean that it does not measure 'intelligence' - what is the problem with intelligence being trainable (not that IQ is perfect or anything)? And lastly - yay for meta.
There's nothing you can do about this. You're the governments bitch. You are a slave of the system... Sad but true ;)

Thank you. I think some people's concerns are valid. There's a quote that I really like: "The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference." - Eli Wiesel

SAP just bought one of the leading ecommerce platform vendors
Yesterday, hybris announced that they were being bought out by SAP.

Hybris are one of the leading ecommerce platform vendors (along with IBM and Oracle) that are ranked in the top three according to recent Gartner reports.

If you shop online, it's likely that you've interacted with hybris.

I'm not sure what this will mean in the long term for hybris developers, but knowing SAP I imagine hybris will be removed as a cheap (cheaper than Oracle and IBM) option for mid size retailers.

I think it's nice to see stories like this as it shows that you can spend many years building a very profitable company that adds real value rather than trying to build something at the speed of light in an attempt to sell out as quickly as possible.

If I say apples are fruit, you don't "fix" that by mentioning that other things are fruit, too, as if I had claimed otherwise. You're just being a needy doofus.

Also, pffff. Senseless religion hate? I came to my conclusions as a believer, and I read the Quran with anticipation and hope, actually. Those were sorely disappointed, to put it mildly. My stance now is "if that's from God, God sucks and we're all fucked. If it's not, I can't wait until it goes the way of the dinosaurs." That's not hate, that's just paying attention. Not being American I don't particularly care about Christian fundamentalists. In Europe, there is ONE active religion and ONE that matters, and that's Islam.

Make yourself familiar with intellectual honesty and OT, NT and Quran, and then tell me they're not documents of fascism. Whatever any person does, if God says it's evil, it's evil; whatever thing God does, no matter how much more selfish and brutal in nature, is good.

It's very fucking easy to be "tolerant" about things you hardly know, or don't take seriously at all. I don't senselessly hate, I have reasons for my dislike. Are you, however, senselessly sucking up?

I love thought and logic; those religions hate them. Put differently, I didn't start this; I'm just not rolling over. If you don't want beef with me, don't put a pistol to my head, and don't call me wrecking that pistol an attack. For me that's real basic, but if you only deal in feel-good slogans, it's obviously going to confuse you. Well, good riddance.
I think the article hit the nail on the head: data phobia.

It is a very tough sell to tell people that their intuitions are wrong, especially when certain practices and beliefs are long entrenched.

It is hard for me to describe to anyone the resistance to anything you present if you haven't been there. The expectations for accuracy are far beyond what can be realistically accomplished. It is humiliating and frustrating to see people who have no business analyzing your work comb over every last number and if ONE number is wrong, the whole plan tumbles.

In my experience, the communication issue is teaching sales, management, etc, that the point is not to play whack-a-mole and "fix" everything, and that the data is not meant to be used as a hammer (IMO), but that it is simply there to point the company in a direction, or at least, show where things could be improved and encourage good directions that already exist.

I believe that the expectations do not align with reality at this point. Everyone is looking for some mythical Fountain of XYZ, and it simply does not exist.

"Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics" is so ingrained in our conscience that the expected reaction to Big Data is a knee-jerk mistrust to whatever is presented. It is a serious issue, and we that have to analyze data have to be cognizant of the fact that we are pushing back against a century (centuries?) of idiots who have used statistics to lie, justify false information, and push agendas.

There is no such thing as a prototype, just code that hasn't been released yet.

Flippant, but I've been burned several times before - think of dirty hacks in prototypes as a low rate introductory offer on the credit card of technical debt.

Indeed, the Constitution and Bill of Rights were meant to act as a straight-jacket on the government.

The commerce clause, and numerous laws leading up to it, were the major opening. It made the lobbying boom possible by giving the government direct control over the economy (and therefore lobbyists acquired reason to lobby, and reason to buy politicians).

All powers not expressly granted to the government were to be outside their province. They switched that, such that any powers not expressly denied the government were to be assumed to be in their province.

We were pretty successfully rather quickly, and the attendees quickly grew past most local company's ability to host our meetings. Costs in Norway for rooms/food & drink is higher than normal; plus, we tried to bring in a lot of external speakers. So, all in all, we were pretty dependent upon a decent amount of funding.

I wasn't suggesting that companies we were working with would stop people coming; but at least when we were starting, getting people to actually attend was a struggle. Building the community can require a bigger outlay that people assume - it's not just "meet up and they will come". So, I'm just saying that some communities might want to think twice about this.
You sir are thinking exactly the same thing as I am.
I was present at the interview, so - as far as my memory allows - I /do/ have the context: he was very much speaking specifically about his own situation. He was responding to the question "What's it like to be Stephen Fry" in a forthright and incredibly moving way. There were audible gasps from the audience at some of what he was saying, but it never came across as self-important, etc. merely a very honest, painful, and genuine recollection of a specific event that occurred and its meaning in the wider context of his life.
Same here, and it confuses the hell out of me. Everytime i tell someone about yet-another-privacy-issue, and each time they answer "well, i have nothing to hide".
That's the problem with reported conversation - I suspect there was a smile on his face as he was saying that, and I for one was expecting an "(audience laughter)" at the end of the sentence.
Well the article claims IQ measures the capacity for abstraction, which isn't necessarily the same as intelligence: the best programmer isn't the one who always starts with a UML diagram.
> Our government listens in on more calls every year than in the whole of the US combined.

Are you saying your country talks on the phone more than the USA? Every one of our phone calls gets recorded. Check out "Mark Klein", he's a whistleblower, formerly of AT&T.
* made America America

The Constitution is arguably no longer the governing law for the US Federal Government. Their behavior indicates it's optional as to whether they follow it (and there haven't exactly been big consequences to not following it, we keep giving them more money to spend to expand the abuse).
It's nice to see a company that spent along time building a solid product that has added value to many business around the world.

A nice change from the stories we hear about startups racing to release something of little real value and trying to sell themselves as quickly as possible.
It is grammatically correct, since nouns can be verbed -- chicken can be a noun, verb and even adjective, even though its verb form doesn't have a defined meaning -- it's just meaningless. Think of it like this:

struct chicken chicken(struct chicken chicken) {
return chicken.chicken;
}

This will parse, it just won't compile, since we're missing the definition of struct chicken.

Contrast with "chicken go fly", which is grammatically incorrect, but meaningful.
Wasn't there a story recently about how they record (the content of) every phone call? This seems to be a subset of that, so how is this news?
It can't really be opt-in using the cookie, as nobody should be touching any cookies in the process of a DNS lookup. Otherwise I agree completely; the carrier obviously knows that this is my phone or they couldn't tell me how much data I'm using.
@adventured Maybe you haven't travelled outside America enough to notice?

You make the mistake of correlating wealth with the intelligence of the average person. The average person did not build the businesses that made America. And capital is a powerful tool, properly managed it grows exponentially.

By the way the average Chinese person is starter than the average American. Intelligence is not the same as education. Nor does having running water make you any smarter than someone who does not.

Am I the only one asking the right question? This video is not a just-for-fun video. It is a cry from the animators of this world that they want better tools. We, as tool builders, programmers, need to listen to this. There is a problem here that can be addressed. There is a market here that can be capitalized.We are all a bunch of hackers here. What is it that is preventing us from creating tools that make creating animations even easier?

I guess. It looks like I need to jailbreak my phone to change the DNS server, so if I get around to it I can opt out. It will work as long as the DNS hijacking just returns incorrect results from T-Mobile's DNS server, rather than replacing any NXDOMAIN response from any DNS server.
Orin Kerr explains: http://www.volokh.com/posts/1211991760.shtml

His argument is that: it would be inconvenient to follow the 4th amendment in the 21st century, because computers give people the technical power to have conversations in private that would be otherwise need to be public, so government should ignore the 4th amendment.

In short, there is no such interpretation, but government lackeys and show-off contrarians make up sophistic excuses for the governments illegal actions.

Just to clarify; the study doesn't say that intelligence is completely environmental, but the reporter draws the conclusion that IQ test results are 'mostly environment and experience', which I'll agree is a reach.

But I'd welcome the study itself, further distancing us from the consensus, among what could well be the majority, that intelligence is innate and that IQ tests measure this quality.

But you're not hiding anything--you're exposing that information to AT&T.

I probably have a more "original intent" view of privacy than most people. I think privacy is about government intrusion on the sanctity of your home and your person. I struggle to understand how privacy comes into play for things that you don't even attempt to keep private (by virtue of sharing it with a "big evil corporation" like AT&T or Verizon).
Why is this a problem even? Why can't IQ be the result of both genes and the right environment and upbringing? Why is it any less valuable as a measure if it's affected by environment?

Sure, there's more to "that person is clever" than just your raw computing power, but it's a pretty damn big factor.

The American Revolution would not have been successfully fought without tons of gunpowder, a couple dozen ships of the line, tens of thousands of muskets, hundreds (thousands?) of cannon, and over $1 billion livres from the French. It was a proxy war.

The other problem with this revolution idea is that no one wants to be the first to die for their beliefs.
