It isn't really the "Freedom Party" when they demand this: "For our rejection of authority and profit-seeking when it does not serve the common good of all people, we have been called 'pirates'."

How can I pursue my own interests—how can I have freedom—if I have to serve some nebulous "common good," just as if I lived in a communist state?

Being able to just take a screengrab and paste it in is really effective.

I certainly understand where you are coming from, I just think that the issue of having this data supplied to Google isn't really that important to warrant spending a tremendous amount of the budget to do an in house system.

The fact is that the web is not anonymous in its nature. If I browse to a random site I've never heard of, how do I know they aren't using a third party image? If they are, then my IP/Location will be broadcast to that third party.
While I think in numerous respects we do pay too little attention to the rights of people elsewhere, both in a moral and practical sense, there is a significant sense in which our surveillance capabilities turned inward is a bigger problem than them turned outward: the American people are fundamentally the biggest check on the further growth of the power of these individuals, and giving them further power over us diminishes that.

The word "no" is a powerful thing. It's probably the first word that as infants we discover has the power to alter our environment. But when we move out of the nursery, it's a word, a tool, and a habit with profoundly negative impact to the wielder.

You can say "yes". That doesn't mean that you drop everything and do exactly what is asked, either. Try it sometime, it's a transformative thing.

Academia is really pushing the boundaries of neural networks and getting machines to perceive visual and auditory input. Great to see commercial ventures step in to create value from those advances. Google is hiring in that field because [0] voice and sight would seem to be the two most natural inputs (vs typing and clicking).

Interesting that Grok is not trying to push the boundaries of neural network size in the same way that new Google employee Geoffrey Hinton has stated as his goal. Grok's approach would likely create huge value to the Honeywell's and GE's of the world. There are lots of turbines, thermostats, generators, and robots to improve.

Will the day ever come that your coffee maker has a Nest-like capability to determine when you're up, a Google Now-like function laity to know if you have time for coffee, and a Grok-like capability to know when to have your coffee ready?

I don't see where you fetch your claims from. "hard real time operation", for instance, is the responsability of the operating system. If Forth is also the OS, nothing prevents anyone from implementing real time features like in any other operating systems. "Small teams" is common practice since Brooks, even in "big projects", where the workload is split among small internal teams. "Scale": that word means nothing without a dimension. Learning Forth takes a few days, but writing one rather takes a few weeks the first time, in particular if you want to go beyond the trivial "Forth in language X" stuff that doesn't learn you a lot about how KISS operates in Forth.

But the problem is procedural so I don't think this will help at all. The issue is that doctors proscribe antibiotics at the drop of the hat. As soon as hypochondriacs start complaining of their phantom symptoms and the strongest antibiotics aren't working they'll just get the new "super" drugs and become resistant to those too.

The only solution is to get the medical profession to stop shotgunning antibiotics at every problem.

This ethical question is particularly interesting. Just to play Devil's Advocate, let's assume that Big Pharma is not involved. Rather, the people who are doing the research are honest researchers who gain utility through the act of research and finding breakthroughs.

If phrased this way, the incidents may suddenly now be sympathized as being yet another statistic - after all, sacrifices must be made in the name of scientific progress. The matter of coercion becomes trivial in the sense of The Greater Good (of course, not all research will yield positive results, and that's the whole point of research).

Now, if one were to have this sort of view going into doing medical trials, who's to say that one's wrong? Why is it still evil, if the net result are better drugs to control one's moods?

> "What exactly happened recently"

The existing outrageous actions of the government were finally given attention by the media, a large slice of the populace finally seems to have noticed and the government has been compelled to actually admit and address the issue. [1]

We should be upset that these outrageous policies ever existed. We should be upset that it took this damn long for the media to treat the issue with the gravity it deserves.

And we should be happy as hell it actually 'took' as a news story this time, let alone managed to stay in the news for weeks.

To the privacy conscious, it's irrelevant whether Snowden told us anything "new". What's relevant is that (for whatever reason) this long-festering problem was finally brought to the forefront in a way that has demanded attention.

I suppose if you didn't mind any of the "old news" that the government was abusing the constitution, or had made your peace with it, this might seem a pointless story.

[1] Though that's a long way from a fix, it's significantly better than the dismissive "with us or against us" defenses of the past.
Changing an async slave of a PXC cluster to a new Master
Well-curated, semantic information is the opposite of a threat. It will make the results better, making the service provided by the provider of the results of higher quality.

A threat can only come if the searching audience moves elsewhere to search for [something]; and if [something] is very popular among the searching audience; and if [something] is also very important to individual searcher.

Because the reason for moving away can only be if [something] is not available from Google there aren't that many threats. I think last time there was a glimpse of such thing happening was in the summer of 2006, but there are other opinions.

Not exactly. Google has never advocated these kinds of questions, but they also allowed engineers to ask whatever they wanted (within certain parameters).

I know of one guy who did get a "cannibals and nuns crossing a river" question, and others who got some complicated thing about how much to bet on the outcome of drawing black or white stones from a sack.

But the majority of a Google interview has always been (to my knowledge) more practical.
So Mozilla now believes other browser makers can and will optimize "generic" javascript well enough to match the performance of their own specialized engine, without implementing any specializations: "To say that asm.js code will be "unusably slow" on browsers other than Firefox implies that those other VM devs can't match a level of performance that was shown to be possible by their peers. That is a ridiculous thing to say given how talented those devs are, which has been proven countless times."

But two years ago Mozilla's position was "A Dart to JS compiler will never be "decent" compared to having the Dart VM in the browser."

So what's changed?
I spent last summer travelling in SEA, funded entirely by freelance. Well thats a lie I came back to the UK for one week inbetween (it was a good party, worth two 13 hour flights).

I had a very good client for whom it didn't matter where I was, I worked on the relationship with the travel in mind and noted from day one. This ment I was about £300 a day less than my normal London day rate for two months for them. However, even down by three hundread I was travelling like a king, well king of economy travellers.

It worked well, but I had one massive disadvantage, I had to ensure good wifi whereever I moved. SEA is mostly 6 hours ahead of London, so keeping London time isn't hard, 11pm is the latest your expected to be online.

The main problem I had was due to a staff change at the clients end. The people I had been dealing with before quit on mass over a pay dispute. The placements, they were a little bit bottom draw (think where is the defintion of this 'web service', I don't want a WSDL, this is a web service, this isn't good enough types).

That is where we come to the crunch. Would I do it again? No.

It was a bit of a pain really, my friends I'd met up with along the way were off having fun, but I was stuck still chained to a laptop. Given that I'd taken a substaintial rate cut, I would have been better off just working full time as normal for half a year, saving, and taking time of normally.

The digital nomad traveller isn't all its cracked up to be. However working remotely from a fairly fixed base is great. It's very easy to get a 6 month tourist VISA to say Thailand, which has great food, and a great countryside. Rent a place for duration, make sure it has reliable good internet, and working remotely isn't such an issue when your not moving around. Now I type this I realise it was the moving around that was the issue. If working say 40hours, you either move round at a snails pace, or miss really interesting things.

I am actually looking to buy a condo in the mountains of Thailand as a bolt hole, my girlfriend and I could just run and hide there for a month or two, still work if need be, but have a change of scenary, weather and society.

Sounds like a job for Dexter.
Instead of the requirement for the owners to return & pick up their battery, why not charge $750 yearly for the privilege of swap and forget? If you swap, it's the luck of the draw whether you get a brand-new battery or a used one. But Tesla could use that money to cycle in new batteries to the pool, so your chances of getting a brand-new battery remain decent.

Some of Valve's games will download the engine/binaries first then the levels after in order so you can start to play the game while it is still downloading. I have personally experienced this.

>>Apparently some of Valve's singleplayer games let you do so.

I live in a predominately Persian neighbourhood in Toronto (Canada) and I'm always told to visit Iran. It's apparently remarkably cheap & the people are very, very friendly.

> the bit about GHB being a powerful CNS depressant is just as true about alcohol

In the US, a "standard drink" is 14 grams of pure alcohol. It's the equivalent of a typical can of beer.

3.5 grams of GHB can trigger unconsciousness, and 7 grams is potentially lethal.

If this is "just as true", I think our definitions of truth are wildly different.

EDIT: If you feel the need to reply to this comment, please read the entire thread first and realize there's nothing "between the lines" of the comment. I have no agenda here. I'm not making a policy argument. I'm not advocating for or against GHB or any other substance. You don't need to tell me what the LD50 is for any particular substance (chances are I already know).
It may differ for you, as an experienced traveler. For someone who hasn't gotten out of the country, ever, it could be a highly instructive experience. Both in terms of mutual understanding with the wider world, and in terms of independence and experience. Traveling by oneself forces one to become more independent, more confident in navigating difficulties without a large support network. I think it's an extremely beneficial experience.
A loose federation would make it harder at the Europe-level, I would think. Don't national laws, or at least allegiance to laws at the national level, trump EU laws?

Can the EU issue the equivalent of national security letters? In the US, it seems like the exploitation of obedience to authority (1963) and the fear of federal prison helped keep PRISM secret. I can't imagine the same thing happening in the EU.

At the state level, I reckon it is possible that things are happening, but even in that case, how hard is it for an EU citizen to move across their nearest border and set up life their in order to whistleblow against their home country? Does the EU have whistle-blower protection laws where I could work in country away, move across the border to country B, blow the whistle on country A, and not fear extradition to country A since I'm protected under whistle blower laws?
