You may be correct on 1), but take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandenburg_v._Ohio There are a few tests that have to be met. The key piece is "The Court held that government cannot punish inflammatory speech unless that speech is directed to inciting, and is likely to incite, imminent lawless action."

On point 2), I still think there is a clear difference in kind between government and private entity bans. The government can enforce their bans with legal threat of violence (i.e. You can go to prison). Another point of distinction is that within private spaces there may be implicit endorsement by the private space owner. For instance you have the public right to promote a political candidate, but if you do it by planting a sign on my lawn, it is implied that I endorse that candidate. I may not want to make that endorsement and restrict you from posting your sign, but that is not nearly the same as the government saying "No one may publish endorsements for Communist Party members".
The fact that the court is "secret" has never meant that it's membership was secret, just that it's output is.

Marissa Mayer just offered $9 million for this -- and they are holding out for more.
So many of the comments here are trying to justify this project's content by saying this are things to do when you are with something you've already been dating/wooing. I just want to say that the majority of sexual assaults are perpetrated by someone the victim knows and that ANY kind of intimate contact does not justify further contact that someone has not consented to. Saying otherwise is an attempt to justify rape.
I've noticed a particularly troubling trend among my friends who are rabidly partisan. Now that some of these privacy issues are out in the open, there's a desperation to pin it on the other party.

Just to be clear: as another commenter said, I don't give a rat's ass if the court consists of the greatest figures in western science. We don't do secret courts.

It's a serious mistake trying to turn this into the usual one party versus the other thing. The U.S. got here because of systemic problems; the system itself has been set up in a bad way. The qualities of the people involved -- their party affiliation, their tax return status, whether they like cats or not -- that's all bullshit. And we should call bullshit on folks who try to change the subject in this manner.

I'll go even farther. I like the NSA. I think they do a great job, I think they have some of the smartest people working in government right now, and I think the country owes a humongous amount of gratitude towards them. If anything, these guys are my heroes.

But that doesn't make the NSA spying right. If you tell the NSA to do fucked up stuff, and you set up a system where they are encouraged and promoted for doing fucked up stuff, you're going to have an agency full of awesome people working as hard as they can to do fucked up stuff. They're not supposed to guide national intelligence gathering -- the policy, structure, and ethics are created by congress and the president -- they're the ones executing it.

If we want to fix what's wrong, we're going to need to get our head out of our asses in regards to which team is better than the other and start talking about structural changes that can bring intelligence gathering back in line to where it's supposed to be.
Any major media outlet in the country right now could 1.5-3x its pageviews or audience share by going wall-to-wall on the revelation that NSA spied on Barack Obama before he was a candidate. None of them have. Why is that?

Tangentially, are there any open source alternatives that mimic the "Save for web" functionality of the Adobe products?

I feel like this black box functionality has made Adobe products almost mandatory for web designers and I'd like to see innovation in this area.

I'd love to see a tool that better takes into account color space issues with varying monitors (PC vs Mac) right from the start.

Aside from king_jester's good point, he doesn't even follow that CYA in the guide. The other (more offensive, IMO) passage that people are in an uproar about is when he talks about how even when she rejects your touching or rubbing her when you first meet, she's actually secretly getting turned on, and that you should continue.
While I agree with the gist of the post, I disagree with this part:-

"If women are loudly saying "This is assault.", you need to take them at their word, because it is their judgment, it is their consent that matters. Not yours."

We live in a world where not everyone is resonable. Anyone suggesting you forcibly put someones hand on your penis as a courting move is not resonable. However there are also many woman who are also not resonable and you shouldn't simply back them up just because they're woman.

You're right - I'm making assumptions when imagining the situations described in my head and jumping to unfair conclusions about your point.

When I imagine a person in the water trying to help it seems obvious that if you're next to them in the water they will clamber on to you and do whatever they can to keep their mouth out of the water to breathe.

When I image holding some object out for them to grab it seems the greater chance is that they wont be aware of the object, or unable to reach the object.

However a rescuer with actual knowledge would be aware of the situation and would ensure they physically touch them with the object so they have to be aware of it.
Creating a site for geeks. I can use some feedback please.
I'm working on a small project for a site called Geekerbox.com which is basically like pinterest, but for people that like to get their geek on. I know I'm not reinventing the wheel here or anything, I just want to create a different community for geeks to share and discover the things us geeks love such as new gadgets, games, comics, cool products and so on. I like the idea of visual bookmarking and that's why I thought a pinboard setup would be good for this.
I was hoping to get your feedback because even though I might think it's a good idea, the rest of the world most likely don't. Can you please critique it or tell me the things you like or would like to see? What basic categories do you think I should add or remove? Any feedback will be much appreciated. (Note that the sites design is far from finished so don't mind the messy pages)
I put a testing site up to play with as I work on the UI and such and it will eventually become the final project once I move it to a new server so disregard the foward to the subdomain it's located at.
I plan on adding facebook and twitter login/share buttons, and a mobile friendly version of the site soon this week and a few other small tweaks. The idea of this site came from wanting to create a site similar to ThisIsWhyImBroke.com, thinkgeek.com, and ShutUpAndTakeMyMoney.com. Eventually I like to give product owners an option to sell their cool geeky products through Geekerbox, but that depends on if the site proves to gain interest or not.

I voted against it when we were deciding to make this video. I just feel that they're not engaging enough, and everyone is already doing them. If you want to stand out, make a real video, put some real effort into it.
I think for your disaster scenario to be taken seriously there would need to be major cultural works--peers of Harry Potter, Huck Finn, and NIN--that were products of the Kickstarter process. Using examples that predate crowdfunding to discuss the negative repercussions of not having crowdfunding is a little ridiculous. The avenues that produced HP, HF and NIN still exist.

>If he worded what he wanted to say correctly and with the proper context, why remove them?

Why refuse to speak to the police without an attorney present if you have nothing to hide? Your question is no more fair than that one. If I were stirring up a "shit storm" by offending people about a hot-button topic I would certainly start deleting everything I could. Seriously, the guy got a measly $16,000 for this and people were threatening to ruin his life over it.

Regardless of whether what I did was wrong or not I would've deleted it all, refunded the $16,000 and disappeared for a while.
>You boys need a lesson in basic empathy.

Don't talk down to me.

>Now, don't skip that scenario: I want you to stop and think about it in detail. How would it make you feel? Do you feel turned on? Do you feel violated?

I take control of the situation by removing myself from the situation or making a scene. And I get over it.

Look, I'm queer and I'm actually pretty sympathetic to the anti-seddit et al crowd.

But the notion that I'm supposed to care about every person's feelings around me is nonsensical. It's exactly the kind of sentiment that you're violating by lecturing your audience. You're _deliberately_ provoking an uncomfortable reaction and prioritizing your own emotions above those of others.

And I'm going to tell you to shove off, and get over it.

This isn't about rape, the violent action and definable crime. It's about communication in a social space. And you can't communicate if you can't aggress, as you have _just demonstrated_.
Actually he had. Those passages were not there and clicking on your link led to those passages having been removed at one point at the height of the shit storm.
What's the insinuation here?
I think people now like documentation in lots of different forms - manpages, HTML, pdf, or introspectable docs like Python docstrings. IPython, for example, has all four of those.

There are systems like Sphinx that let you share content between different formats, but they're not magic bullets. For instance, if I write docs relying on inline links because I'm used to viewing them in HTML, the result won't be great for manpage readers.
>You've been tricked by marketing, and you're eating it up.

Um, no... I've seen the actuarial tables, understand them and program systems to support them for the industry. Unless you are in exceptional health and remain so, group insurance is by far the better deal in most cases. That's why employers offer it!

Please just concede this point until you actually understand how actuarial science works. There are indeed some bad deals out there (looking at you flex plans), but group vs. individual insurance isn't one of them.

> it's coming out of your salary, and the choices are being made for you.

No, not really. This may be true of your specific plan but many plans are 100% employer paid. Employers offer benefit plans in lieu of salary because there are different tax breaks and such associated with not paying salary directly - ei and cpp contributions, for instance. If an employer pays you $300 a month in benefits it does NOT mean that they could pay you $300 more in salary and it would be a wash.

>"Employees in Australia are treated much better than Employees in Canada.

That may be, and I'm sure it varies greatly by industry and other variables... but that isn't at all what we are discussing here, is it?
> I don't know about you, but I would prefer if things happened "naturally", without talking about it explicitly. Us sitting closer, slowly drawing our heads closer, lips touch, mouths open, kiss.

I used to think that, too, as a teenager. Then I had sex with a bunch of people and realized, who gives a fuck? Sex is fun. It's fun when it happens spontaneously, with mutual passion. It's fun when it's discussed and scheduled ahead of time. It's just fun!

As long as both people want to. Then I thought about some of those times things just happened "naturally", and I realized, I'm not really sure if she did want to. That's not fun.

So now, if there's any doubt in my mind whatsoever, I just ask. I'm in a committed, long-term relationship now, and I still ask her regularly if I'm not sure if she wants to. Because I'm even less interested in pressuring someone I really care about into something she doesn't want. And she will do the same for me.

Guess what? Still fun.

> Btw, you realize, right, that with your comment you're promoting rape (according to your definition)? After all, a woman taking "explicit proactive action" without your explicit verbal consent is, the same as a man would if the situation was reversed, raping him.

Yes. It goes both ways, regardless of gender. Did you expect me to disagree with this?
Are you actually arguing that if a woman has touched a penis in her life before, she is consenting to touching all future penises?

Either you mean that or your writing is appalling.
There's a big difference between "resistive force" and saying no. Anyone can say no, at least in situations in which both partners are of equal power. In situations where one partner has greater power than the other, it's usually illegal for them to be intimate anyways (teacher/student, employer/employee). Also, if you, say, kiss someone without their explicit consent, I think it's pretty obvious when they are not kissing you back/want to stop (actually, I hope - never been in that situation, really, but at least I have lots of passionate kisses as a benchmark).
this reminds me GeoCities :')
Well only if you have a fancy and shiny product / device to show it :)
I founded a vampire themed energy drink, which used honey as its main ingredient. To fill orders I contracted a local honey bottler in Homestead, FL (Bee Natural Honey). For what its worth I talked to the bottlers about the health of bees, and they felt Dade-County was a great place to study this because after the "real estate bubble", Dade-County cut funding for Summer time spraying of mosquitoes - in the opinion of my private honey bottlers during this period bees were healthier, and they had the benefit of experiencing Dade-County reallocating a mosquito spraying budget to experience the reintroduction of the same variable.

Clearly this is second hand info and not backed by any data I have seen, so it should be taken with a grain of salt, and I do not even know if what Dade-County uses to spray for mosquitoes is related to neonicotinoids, but I thought you may find their take interesting.
It seems like Snowden is purposefully leaking documents a little at a time in order to keep the story in the press. He may be trying to combat the short term memory of popular stories. It may be a viable strategy for getting enough attention to achieve real progress. I wonder if news will simply stop covering it as front page material as audiences get bored with it. Maybe leaking the least interesting stuff earlier, and ratcheting up interest by saving the best for last may aid such an effort.
If the password hashing APIs asks developers to generate a salt on their own it's neither easy nor safe.

I've worked on password hashing recently, and I think the best interfaces should take only a password, and return a hash. Modern password hashing algorithms, e.g., bcrypt, scrypt, etc., usually also need a set of local parameters. The API should hide them as well, and expose only a set of interfaces with safe and sound preconfigured parameters, which in turn determine how much CPU time and memory space will be used. One disadvantage of this approach is that it exposes the local parameters, hence make it a little bit easier for attackers.

This is exactly how crypto primitives have been designed. If the designers of AES ever let people choose the key size, sooner or later some people would shoot themselves in the foot, and set the key size to 1-bit. If you think this is an extreme example, it actually has happened, not in some obscure API that nobody uses, but in the very XMLDsig standard published by W3C [1].

Regarding password hashing standards, I found many misuses of libscrypt that would make it extremely easy to recover passwords. But I'll save the details for another blog post or something.

Well if we assume you only do battery swaps then the cost of your "old" battery would be almost the cost of a new battery so that case you would be paying only small amount for each battery swap.

The reason they do this would be because otherwise someone with a 3 year old battery that needs replacement would be able to get a new battery effectively for free.
I learned to program 6502 on the BBC Micro. It had a built-in assembler as part of its BASIC. Very useful! Assembly language instructions got written to memory according to the value of a specific variable, and there was a somewhat neat mechanism for doing 2 passes (to fix up forward references). It was quite flexible, and gave you all the power of the inbuilt BASIC - which was of course awful, though excellent by the standards of the day - for writing macros.

More programming languages should have included something like this, I think. Maybe by now we'd have runtime code generation as a common primitive, something like LuaJIT's dynasm (http://luajit.org/dynasm.html), only with GC, so you could generate custom little routines at runtime.

(As it is, what do we get? gcc-style inline assembly language. Progress? My arse.)
At least in the case of Home Alone, actors show signs of pain and even injury. From there it's a matter of magnitude.

This analysis is interesting, however I have to comments on the methodology:

* Same measure

Comparing USD/INDEX with BIT/USD is a little bit like comparing apples and oranges, as the underlying measure for each of the time-series is different.

Multiplying BIT/USD with USD/INDEX gives us a time-series that is BIT/INDEX. Subsequently USD/INDEX can be compared with the new BIT/INDEX to get the correlation between USD and BIT with the INDEX basket as a measure.

* Correlation is only relevant for non-integrated series

It's well known that correlation for any unrelated random walks can easily be very high (positive or negative) in a spurious and random manner. The solution here might be to take the take first-difference (geometrical) of both series (de-integrating) and then check the resulting differences for correlations.
A video would be helpful. I'm not confident I could recognize all those signs from the descriptions.

I would say 1) this revelation is too shocking to be parroted without smoking gun evidence to support it (eg copies of the top secret documents themselves) and 2) journalists these days are too much in bed with the establishment to stir the waters that much and ask these kinds of hard questions posed by "fringe elements".

> I'd bet that most Tesla drivers will never have to stop to recharge, mostly because they will use their Tesla around town, and will take long trips in another car or fly, because Tesla owners are wealthy.

That's probably true, but much of the recent marketing around battery swaps and transcontinental charging networks is aimed specifically at road trips. I suppose one would argue that they're working on this infrastructure now for the future when much more affordable EVs are available.
