Hi, I'm an Israeli Jew.

The entire latter half of your "evidence" video is completely mistranslated. I would have to say deliberately.

Shimon Peres is talking about how amazing it is that Israel has achieved developed-country status.

Pashut ein lanu maspik shuk mekomi gadol. That doesn't mean anything about our talents or dynamism. It literally reads: "We simply don't have enough of a large local market." He's talking about Israeli exports.

The sentence "Anachnu konim et Manhattan, et ...." (literally: We are buying Manhattan, ....) does occur early in the video, but without a whole lot of additional context it's meaningless. He's using a simple, conversational mode of Hebrew there, in which it could mean "We're conspiring to purchase all the buildings in these countries with our Joo Moniez", but it much more likely means, "Israelis can now buy apartments in these locations."

So basically, your far-right is playing the Jooz Card to pacify your proper rage against the consequences of neoliberal economic policies in Hungary.

I'm descended from a once-somewhat-prominent Hungarian Jewish family, but if you actually believe this kind of crap, the chance I'm visiting Budapest where my great-grandparents lived any time soon is basically null.
Search isn't a solution for discoverability though. A lot of people use those top lists to see "what are the new games that are out?"
WEP. Do you include it in "crypto" or "implementation" category?

What about not using authenticated encryption? Crypto or implementation?

Storing SHA512 of passwords? Using non-cryptographic random number generators?
> With container based virtualization we have to be put on different nodes.

That's only true when the OS's in question require different kernels. For OpenVz/Virtuozzo for example their RHEL based kernel has long been the preferred one for a lot of people for non-Redhat Linux versions too.

I agree with you there are still lots of reasons people will want VM's though.

We've picked containers at work, but only because while we host customer sites, we run and manage all of them, and so have a lot of flexibility a typical hosting provider doesn't have.
(I haven't played DotA 2 but I've played DotA and Heroes of Newerth

Almost all of those things are examples of a game (DotA 2) being hard in a bad way/for the wrong reasons. The hallmark of game design is that it should be easy to learn but hard to master, but DotA games are notoriously hard to get into because of the steep learning curve, mostly because of all the dozens (almost 100?) heroes', their abilities and all the items (some of which have active/spell abilities) that you have to learn. I was useless in all of the initial games that I played in HoN, even though I had friends to help me. I still get bitten in the ass by not knowing all the abilities of some hero, or the fact that he has some item that totally negates one of my heroes strengths.

Strategy games of any interesting complexity usually have a steep initial learning curve, where you'll fuck up everything in the beginning and/or get killed by overlooking one single aspect of your base management or army control. But DotA is astonishing in that it was created in a game where you have to control up to three heroes, an army and base management, simplified it down to controlling only one hero - and made the initial learning curve of the game harder than the original game (Warcraft 3)! And this custom game with the higher barrier to entry in the end eclipsed Warcraft 3 itself when it comes to popularity!
It doesn't matter what the brain is made of. Or would you say that if there are alien lifeforms, with their brains certainly made out of another matter than our brains, have no conscience?
Just came back from Buenos Aires... while some things improved, they're NOT adequate. The desperate economic measures will end up cratering the country again (I mean, they already have, only the effects will be felt in a few months or years).

Protect their savings? They can't even sell their property in a "hard" currency, and government is blatantly inflating away people's money. When the artificial dollar cracks, the facade will crumble and people WILL be hungry.
Seriously.... I think the Apple iOS7 designs have some weird points, but they're overall decent enough, and hardly deserving of the shrill reactions I've seen. None of this guy's "fixes" really seems very compelling, and I'm left wondering why he bothered to write an entire blog post about them...

[and I'm no Apple fanboy, I like Android...]
So here's a related question I've been wondering (IANAL - so hard).

A number foreign blogs/companies/people have displayed outrage that, given that they're not protected by the legal framework American citizens are, PRISM may give the NSA access to their data.

Irrespective of the truth associated with this, you've got to expect at least some percentage of paying customers will move business away from American companies. Considering this, is it conceivable that companies like Apple, Facebook, etc, could sue the government for lost earnings as a result of the fallout from this? Or are there a bunch of reasons why they wouldn't/couldn't (other than the obvious ones like, don't piss off the government).
Thanks for the link. I've been looking (for a while) for a deeper analysis of the regulation.
Simple: With respect and value them. Kinda like every one else.
Don't forget that one of the creators went to University of Zurich. (did he study with Wirth???)
That's the opium....

We don't know if the requests are good or bad. We have no way of reasoning about the approval rate other than looking to other courts, which suggest that it's impossibly high. We simply don't know but we wish.

Alternatively, if you were the judge and presented with something, perhaps something you might think about rejecting and they say there is a pending threat and they think this guy might blow something up what would you do then? Knowing your decision likely would never be made public...

At the very least they could make these decisions all go public after five years or something. The other counter argument here is that if everybody involved really takes it seriously, they are really looking out for our safety and really trying hard, shouldn't somewhat zealous agents try to overreach? Never a single case simply based upon religion or someone's nation of origin? Unless they just listen in anyways... In which case FISA is even more of a sham.

This happens in other market and is not an issue. e.g.: 80% McDonald's are franchises [1], they tend to operate directly in area where higher profit is available (city centers, denser population).

This ignores the (likely) huge cost of personnel and software required to manage it all.
I bought one, never got around to using it, and sold it a few years later. Like a lot of cool technology, it will go underused due to difficulty of use / lack of good, easy-to-use applications. And for all the things I want to do, it's easier to just write software.
You're missing the point TOR isn't about encryption, it's about anonymity.

If you're in a situation which can threaten your life, the latter is clearly more important.
Well, at the minimum, I guess businesses will think twice about using Skype or Google voice
either I'm wrong

TLDR: you're wrong.

C/C, C/SW, C/S, [opponent takes C], C/SE, NE/SW, NE/S...

after C/SE, your opponent has control and can go anywhere that is available in the center board they've already won, so you can't assume you're next play will be NE.

More importantly after you've sent them to the SW board with NE/SW they can go anywhere except the middle and so they then have the initiative.

Hmm, It looks like you switched notation halfway through? I was assuming board/position and only showing player 1 moves but that doesn't after losing the center board

Regardless you lose the initiative after 5 moves.
But isn't that declaration merely policy? I get the impression that Snowden is referring to "technical protection" as in the software/hardware systems, for instance ones that would prevent any analyst from issuing any query they like.

Does anyone else play the 'infinite board' tic-tac-toe which requires you to get five in a row? It's what I used to play as a student, and it's pretty well-known at least where I live. Nobody bothers with the 3x3 version, but the five in a row version is pretty exciting and requires plenty of strategy and thinking ahead.
Dribble user mantia's take on iOS icons from last year
Yes, and out of 272pb, storage failures will be frequent. At what looked to be $100/tb, I have to imaging this is not accounted for.
Though to the point, the IPs of all exit nodes are publicly available and presented by the Tor project itself.
Is thunderbolt fast enough to drive a high end GPU?
I expected the cost to be so much higher. How would they record the calls though?
Containers certainly have their uses, but what I think will happen is hardware will become better and better at virtualisation just as the (K)VM software will become better.

LXC is good for stuff like OpenShift (PAAS), but for "VPS" offerings the VM will continue to reign supreme.
I think that's a problem that's rather unique to our field. Most people I know who have MacBooks don't have them in a "docked" configuration ever. It sits on their desk where the most that comes out of them is the power adapter and a USB cable.

I hear ya though, my Macbook Pro doubles as my home development machine, so when I'm "docked" it's just a morass of cables. It really would be nice if Apple lived up to the "Pro" moniker and gave us a reasonable dock.

I did order a Henge dock a while back, maybe I should actually unpack it and set it up...
According to the courts, ignorance of the law is no excuse.

Hence the importance of keeping major legal issues as simple as the Founding Fathers instantiated them in the Constitution and Bill Of Rights: the common man is presumably incapable[1] of keeping up with voluminous manifestations of nuances of legislative and case law. If the police aren't expected to keep up with it all, in no way should prospective detainees (i.e.: all of us) be as well.

But, alas, the legal system being what it is, that's why those of us smart enough to try to keep up with such matters must do so: protect, at least, our own skins.

[1] - Not in an insulting way; there's a reason we pay lawyers big bucks to know such things.
This jibes with what I've seen. I didn't think phones could generate content, but it was just long text that they struggled with. I don't like typing on a tablet, but my laptop gets smaller and smaller. Good user experience people will find ways to get tools on these devices, with desktops relegated to very heavy lifting. (Anything requiring big screens)

Umm ...
While waiting for Genius appointments and friends to get something done in Apple stores, I've seen salespeople talk customers out of higher priced items more than once. And they do it the right way: asking what you want to do with the computer and then finding the right level of machine for those needs.

I suspected that this was part of the training programme, precisely because it creates happier customers with a good story to share.
It was just a simplistic example. The point remains the same; there are use cases where people want an OS image that has a different kernel.
When I worked for Netscape.com (the social news site) and later Propeller.com, we made a conscious decision NOT to ban known TOR IP addresses, even though a metric shit-ton of spammers used it.
And from then on, are we going to keep people from having children or are we going to let massive overpopulation happen?
Where to recover the stored minds to?

That said, in my oppinion a big part of what makes life worthwhile IS that it is finite.

[I am working with the assumption that by "backup and recovery plan for people" essentially you are talking about making people immortal by backing up their mind before the body dies and somehow keeping it working, e.g. recovering it to a different body.]
If you're interested in a non-proprietary toolflow, you can try taking a look at VPR (http://www.eecg.toronto.edu/vpr/). It's an academic place and route tool out of the University of Toronto. You may still need to use some parts of the proprietary toolflow. I've never used it to actually run on an FPGA, but it's a popular tool for academic research in FPGA design and EDA algorithms.

In an immediate sense, no, it doesn't matter why.

But in a broader sense, it does. If it's a temporary automatic block, that has different implications for who you protest against than if it is a manual block put in at the behest of the House of Saud, say, or at the request of America's NSA.
As a side point, those RME audio interfaces mentioned in the article are utterly fantastic. I've recently acquired an older firewire one, and it makes everything else in its pricerange look like a bad joke.

They are the only people developing custom USB/firewire controllers, everyone else just sticks a TI chipset in there, wraps the OEM drivers and goes to lunch. Not the plucky germans at RME.

If you need to get audio in or out of your computer, you should settle for nothing less.
I am also descended partly from a Hungarian Jewish family.

I think Shimon Peres is not talking about "Israelis can now buy apartments in these locations" scenario, Jewish people can do that for like decades, that would have no frigging information content. So why should I believe that?
The answer is obvious: the next player must play the corresponding board UNLESS it is already won. Thne they can choose which board to go to randomly.
There is a notification and you can opt-out.
Really? Sounds like about 20 seconds to throw a database query together to generate the list. Cache it until the user makes a purchase or we redo the statistics. If you consider the work involved in generating the top 10 list a per user filter is next to nothing in added computation time. Especially since it is just a marketing tool not something that needs to be updated in real time.
An Intelligent Approach to Image Classification By Color
You might as well throw out any number.

The base here is developed from the author's "family average". That doesn't, in any way, reflect "all US phonecalls". Consider business users. There are a substantial number of business users who talk on the phone for >1,000 minutes per month. "Family" averages are only going to reflect personal phone calls, which are a fraction of the phone calls made.

We also cannot assume equivalency between what the Internet Archive pays per petabyte and what the NSA pays per petabyte. When dealing with government projects, you have all manner of requirements that have no parallel in the rest of the business world.

That $27.2 million number might as well be $50 million, or $100 million. It all depends on your input variables. This is napkin math at its worst.

The problem with eval boards is the tendency to explode price upward by sticking peripherals on the board. Sure, a 10/100 ethernet intf sounds cool and it'll only add $5... times 50 other devices and next thing you know you have one of those cool, but expensive Digilent boards that has more I/O options than you could ever use, but costs $200.

If you just want a nearly bare FPGA google for "micronova fpga mercury" and for $60 you get a DIP-64 circuit board with quite a few I/O and that's about it. No on board graphic LCD. No on board VGA output jack and D/A interface. Think, the basic stamp from 20 years ago, now a FPGA dev tool. I have one sitting on my desk waiting to fool around with it (I have a lot on my desk...)

Also all the software is free now. Maybe limited such that you need a license to synthesize for a $2000 chip, which doesn't matter. Pretty much if your average garage hacker can afford the dev board, the limits on the software don't matter. Closed source, but available for linux and windows and free.

Brazilian here, fortunate enough to have walked alongside the protesters yesterday in Rio de Janeiro (while it was still peaceful).

It does seem like a massive flashmob, but my guess is that it comes from all the time we've been numb and asleep and removed from all the crap that's been happening. I know that, in order to get objective results, we need to have objective... well, objectives. :) But if a giant "occupy Brazil"-style flashmob is what it takes for us to understand what's going on and the power we have, then I'm all for it.
Why should a party be anti-semitic? Do I sleep better if the guys in Israel have a bad time? No. I wish them the best. On the other hand, if a country (be it Israel or any other) threatens my country why can't I speak up?

If the base cost is $27M, accounting for storage failures is cheap (in government/intelligence budget terms). A SWAG of 10x price for dual RAID-5 storage brings it to just $270M. That's peanuts for NSA types.
Something Apple could do to let users optionally markedly improve quality of the gaming category "top lists" would be a preference setting to exclude apps with In App Purchases.
The way to solve that is "just" to increase the skill ceiling in some other dimension. Warcraft 3 has easier macro mechanics than SC2 - five workers per gold mine, less expands, less unit-producing buildings, wood as a resource is often a non-issue - but makes up for it by having a higher skill-ceiling when it comes to micro mechanics.

You could for example make larvae inject optionally auto-cast, as long you add some other mechanic that the zerg have to (or should) worry about (like more complicated creep spreading, for instance).
New Book: "Tame the Flow, Hyper-Productive Knowledge-Work Management"
Can people really not tell the difference between 'my data is being sold' and 'an aggregate based on my data plus data from a million others is being sold'?

A company that only collects data when the user opts-in and sells innocuous products like market-share information and tracking tag audits for individual sites hardly deserves the ire. It's not like it's the federal government.
Nowadays we have this thing called "buying online and having it delivered".
There is another great variant of Tic Tac Toe you can play on a Torus (a donut shape): http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/17/Torus.png

The way to play is to "warp" each side of the board to the side opposite of it. For instance, playing on a 6x6 board with a win condition of length 5:

.|X|.|.|.|.
X|.|.|.|.|.
.|O|.|.|.|.
.|O|.|.|X|.
.|.|O|X|.|.
.|.|X|O|.|.

is a win for X, because the upper and lower ends of the board are synonymous.

I can't find any material about this on the net, I just played it in school on boring lessons (but more commonly we played for 5 in a row on an infinite board, I personally prefer the Torus)
'Officially, there is a road there. We raised the money and the local authorities built it. It just never appeared.'

I am a huge fan of Brazilian culture, but what you described is why so many aid programs fail. People know that more money should go to educated, but they have no way to ensure it doesn't get diverted.
Don't think so..

Now that the law has passed, potential targets of surveillance must sign a “consent” form. If the targets have spouses, the spouses must sign consent forms, too. And if the targets or their spouses don’t consent to this surveillance, the targets lose their jobs. In short, this “consent” is not optional and the whole family is fair game for surveillance.

Suspicion Confirmed: Google Has It Out for Small Businesses
12 months ago I would have strongly disagreed with your first sentence, but after a load of reading on Physics, Philosophy, and Neuroscience, my views have changed.

I am still unable to reconcile my "internal" conscious experience with our current understanding of Physics. I'm a materialist, however I'm trending towards the believe that consciousness is an emergent physical property of massively interconnected systems; that is, our "internal" conscious experience is part of the "fabric of reality" and simply comes into being once matter is of a certain level of interconnectedness.

In essence, all matter has some degree of internal conscious experience. However, only groupings of matter that have massive interconnectedness (i.e. animal brains) experience what we would typically describe as consciousness. Perhaps, at a global scale, the internet is weakly "conscious". Perhaps, once we forge ahead with bio-mimetic arrays of neural networks, we'll start to induce artificial conscious experience in "dumb" matter.

Christof Koch has an excellent book "Consciousness: Confessions of a Romantic Reductionist" along these lines.
It's interesting that they seem to be suggesting they will build out an office suite imagined from the beginning for mobile. I had thought of Paper as being for artists but perhaps they aim to go more general purpose.
> Hungarians have the fewest rights in this country. They intentionally positively discriminate the Roma population to spark a civil war. Divide and conquer.

So, government is positively discriminating Roma population now just to try to fix the problem that Roma population was systematically discriminated for decades (centuries), and they can't possibly go out of mud on their own. It's sad that some Hungarians see that as a problem.

> There is also an ongoing international propaganda about how "antisemitic" are we. Nothing is further than the truth, there are 0 jewish people beaten per year. But this will be a good excuse to further decrease our liberty.

No Jews, no racism, isn't it? Maybe there are 0 beaten Jewish people per year now, but only because there were 0 Jewish people left in Hungary after the WW2, where democratically elected Hungarian government got rid of them.

I don't say that your government isn't corrupt, but whenever I hear talks about "preserving the nation", "Roma and Jews has more right in my country than me" and similar claims, my nazi detector starts to alert.
