> We are not giving up the right to violence,

You are. You're agreeing to act "civilized" instead of all the other things you can do in the state of nature. Animals are not obligated to respect each others' "rights." We collectively give up our natural ability to do that, in the hopes that "civilization" is better for us than a free for all.

I'm not arguing that bigger governments or smaller governments are better. I'm talking about the process by which we choose a government to govern us. My point is that a government that is small, where people can't vote to make it bigger, is immoral. If people collectively give up their natural ability to use violence on other people, they should get to collectively determine what system they want to put in place to replace the state of nature. Self determination, that's the most fundamental thing, and it's not worth compromising self determination to guarantee limited government.

In this hypothetical scenario, you're not trying to fix a bug for a user, he already left for (what he considers) better horizons. If the FF team wants to win me back they can try, but I'm not asking them anything.

So yes, I'm hand waving a comparison between two pieces of software who have great technical features but feel painful to use, because this is a comment on a benchmark post and not me doing a bug report.

I got this problem in elementary, still got almost the highest possible mark on our CITO test (which is an indication of your education level here in the Netherlands), went to one of the best Gymnasiums, and essentially got kicked out of 80% of all my classes because of my ADD disorder, and refusal of treatment (i.e. not wanting to take Ritalin). It also ended up me being easier to calm the class by making an example out of me.
I had to drop out of this school to a lower grade, which I passed without pretty much doing fuck all, cause it was too easy.

People should learn that distracted kids crave stimulation, and the stuff you teach them is probably not stimulating (i.e. boring, easy)

Ask HN: Who's Hiring for Activists/Non-Profits?
I am having trouble finding people who want to collaborate on a non-paid activism project I'm working on. I've tried meeting people at local conferences and meetings, but that hasn't worked. Basically I'm looking for someone very specific who shares the passion I have to tackle certain sociologically sensitive issues. Maybe there are others out there in the same boat? Maybe we could benefit from a "Who's Hiring" type monthly post, so we could try to connect with like-minded individuals? Just a thought.
I absolutely agree, most of the time ads don't help consumers make better market decisions.

Concurrency in JavaScript
"If he's willing to give away state secrets (I know we have objections to their content sometimes, but they are state secrets), he should also be willing to face trial in the U.S. in civilian court."

No person acting in their own interest would willingly face trial in a US court, unless they had millions of dollars to spend on lawyers. The way our courts work, acquittals are expensive and actively discouraged, and there is almost no chance of jury nullification. The best bet any defendant has in a US court is for the police to make a procedural error, though even then you better be ready to pay a good lawyer to spot it. There is almost no chance of Snowden getting off on a procedural error, though -- for someone that high profile, a lot of care will be taken to ensure that everything is done by the book.

The government also has a lot of power to keep arresting a person and keep putting them back in a court room. If Snowden were not convicted for espionage, he would be arrested for hacking and tried separately for that. If that failed, it would be for tax evasion, illegal orchids, or some other obscure crime. If that failed, he would just be followed by the police day in and day out until he ate ice cream on a Tuesday afternoon in some county in Georgia. Even if the cases are all thrown out, he could be waiting for years to go to trial, and the judge may not be willing to grant someone with his international connections bail.

"Running across the ocean is possibly the most cowardly thing"

There is nothing cowardly about retreating from and avoiding an adversary that has vastly more resources and capabilities than you. Snowden's adversary is the world's most powerful government. It would be stupid not to run.

In other words, what you are advocating is stupidity, and what you call cowardice is what most people would call intelligence.
Android's rise was predicted 10 years ago
I think one angle here though is the court of public opinion. In initial poles, most viewed what Snowden had done as breaking the law but didn't think of him as a traitor. He was a very popular figure and it would have been very problematic to put him on trial in the US. However, after getting associated with the Chinese, then Russians all on his way to try and get to somewhere like Ecuador or Cuba he's shifted the broader public opinion against him. Once he released it he should have best managed what his US based trial would look like - knowing that it was inevitable. The only way to avoid it forever was to become a pawn for some regime more despicable than the one he rebelled against.
Syntax is syntax, whether it's Lisp or C. What I mean is I hardly think that a new language is what GPU programming needs to break into the mainstream.

What I believe GPU programming needs is tools that people can easily add to their current environments or that they can easily extend their current algorithms with. NumbaPro, OpenACC, and Thrust allow that.

In addition, the reason it's hard to express structured data and nonuniform computation is because those aren't things GPU architecture excels at. It excels at doing uniform operations over large chunks of memory. I'm sure that Harlan is pushing the boundary of what you can do on a GPU, but it's not going to exceed the limitations imposed by the hardware.
Ditto for RequestPolicy and/or Noscript.
It sounds like Russian intelligence services have finished rifling Snowden for classified information. They don't want Snowden leaking to anyone else what they've rightfully pilfered.

It's not bizarre at all. You give up part of your position by simply conceding that there can be a debate about the subject.

The thing is, your point is valid, too. The whole purity thing itself is not a binary thing, but rather fuzzy.

I think what's needed is both. We need credible, respected leaders who absolutely refuse any kind of blanket, surveillance-by-default architecture. We also need credible, respected leaders who say the other thing - though of course not too publicly. And those two groups had better not fight each other, but unite against the common enemy.

Conservatives tend to be very good at this sort of thing, probably because conservatism is really tribalism at its core, and so conservatives understand instinctively that they should not attack each other. Defenders of civil rights are all about the individual, so unfortunately they are more prone to in-fighting, as this thread demonstrates ;)
I don't know about schools, but the kindergarten that I went to was a "nature"-kindergarten, where we were out in the forest 80% of the day, no matter if it rained or snowed.

I must have catched a whole forest of insects, and investigated them.

It is very popular in Denmark, and I love the forest and the outdoor because of it, especially the different seasons and their impact on nature.

Thanks for the really useful tip to look into Chrome's debug log.

First of all we see that this so called phishing detection filter's code is found at
http://src.chromium.org/svn/trunk/src/chrome/renderer/safe_b...

Second, this code and the logic it employs is really bull.

The world wide web is not a kiddie playground especially for a browser, and especially for a plugin whose's job is to detect phishing.
The way Chrome's anti-phishing works is to use several foolish measures that mean nothing in the real world and then 'punish' and push websites into oblivion when someone crosses these arbitrary sets of rules.

The way the plugin appears to work is to look at various things
* The type of URL (IP vs domainname, number of subdomains, size of the subdomain names, the strings in the Path URL)
* Whether the page contains form data
* Whether the page contains password input box
* Whether the page contains checkboxes/radio boxes
* Whether the page text contains some terms (in this case 'connexion')
* Whether page has links/images to other domains

and so on.

None of these are ANY indication of phishing behavior and if this set of quackery based logic is what we see from Google Chrome, where else can we go to really feel safe and protected?
If you're on a limited memory machine, like my 2GB netbook, Firefox is the best choice. Chrome is a pig in both the real world and these tests with 768 vs 1521 MB used.

Congratulations to the memshrink team for fixing all the memory leaks in FF 4. Now if they could only do something about the UI responsiveness when multiple intensive tabs are open, I might consider switching back from Chrome on my desktop.
@alternize

That, precisely is the issue. We can only speculate as to what might be good or bad. There is no way to really know is correct (and infact why is it even the business of a browser to determine that). In a lot of situation, it is not something the product gets to decide. For example, this got triggered when a customer added translations to the application (which changes that button).

I recently bought a house that was gutted and had no mailbox when I moved in. I went for as long as possible without adding one. (It's 99% junk mail that I just recycle immediately.)

Well, you can't actually get away with this for one reason: the government. Specifically, the IRS, but probably the census too. (And they only allow you to use a PO Box if you certify that you cannot physically accept mail at your residence.) If they send you an important document, there better be a box for the USPS to put it in, or you could end up in hot water.

I wish the USPS & IRS & Census would allow addresses to opt-out of mail entirely. It's time to let people and companies go 100% paperless without paying for scanning services.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montessori_education

The Montessori approach has some similarities to what you propose, and is probably about as close as you can get in current American education. Not outdoors or all-boys, but otherwise it's structured largely as you propose, with time divided between direct instruction in academic subjects and free-form exploration. Kids are free to roam the classroom and pick up whatever educational materials catch their curiosity: maps, books, geometric and mathematical materials, puzzles, and lots of other good stuff.

I attended a Montessori preschool and kindergarten, in the early 1980s. I'd wholeheartedly recommend it. (There's no formal definition or central authority, so schools and approaches will vary, but mine was excellent.) The open environment of creativity really helped my early intellectual development. I was reading everything, had most of the countries on the globe memorized, and knew squares and cubes up to 10 all by about age five, all thanks to the ready accessibility of all that stuff according to my own interests rather than being forced and tested all the time.

Bebo’s Founder Says He’s Bought It Back For $1M, Plans To ‘Reinvent’ It
According to this[1], the classifier is intentionally obfuscated to prevent reverse engineering, so I don't know how far you're going to get with the log beyond just knowing your score (and the score can change if they change the model, which may explain why some people aren't seeing a problem (I see no phishing warning in Chrome dev channel, for instance)).

Since it looks like it's a model trained offline on known phishing sites, unfortunately I think your best bet is tweaking until you fall under the threshold and (if you're feeling magnanimous) filing a bug on Chrome with an example of how the current model is flawed (though if the page is working in dev channel, something may already have been fixed).

That sucks, sorry :(

H+FJ doesn't serve the kind of user who feels that "buying individual fonts feels outdated", or who does price competition in the two digit range between different foundries. Instead, they sell to people for whom any price they could reasonably come up with for this service would be a rounding error.

Prior to launching Cloud Typography, H+FJ didn't sell web fonts at all. Things seemed to have been going pretty well for them.
What problems? If it's Frank's head then after the operation you still have Frank.

Worry about identity when someone invents a partial brain transplant or something crazy like that.
Or perhaps the best move is to hide. With such a large range of time, almost any species you encounter will be either incredibly primitive (thus not so interesting, and not receptive to your signals), or tremendously advanced, and a serious existential threat. Faced with this choice, it's quite rational to avoid looking for the neighbors.

This doesn't really apply to the self-replication wave, but it is an argument against active SETI.
I don't think there is a price for "serving it yourself on the web"; outside of a small number of early beta users, the professional websites you saw using H+FJ fonts were probably using image replacement.

But you have to implement this "extra functionality" already. Or, how are you dealing with situations where your JavaScript fails to reach your user's browser? How are you dealing with situations where the JavaScript arrives in the browser but doesn't execute?

I went to elementary and high school in rural Minnesota and I only remember having to sit down about 2-3 hours a day. We did a lot of outdoor science-y stuff like your classify the wildflowers example, sports, PE, art class, orchestra and band, two recesses per day, etc. In high school, we had electives like small engine repair, CAD and in one course could even build an entire house. That said, the actual "academic" courses like math and history were heinously boring and poorly taught and felt like they lasted 8 hours each.

Are you creeped out by the idea of an arm transplant?
Chrome devs got the `snap` right. It is 99% instantaneous, it's beating any of my extremist~ expectations impressively. Sometimes, though, it gets stuck in async hell. And with lots of tabs it loses some responsiveness (on my old core duo). Firefox is slower but regular, I'm abusing it with dozens of tabs and it stays stable.

All in all, I can't applaud Mozilla enough for pulling prolongated and difficult efforts (the new 3-layered releases process, memory compaction, js jit) with only a tiny percent of Chrome's ressources. This is really impressive.
I find that hard to believe because I can't imagine teaching EE beyond the first year without running face first into impedance. I mean, any time you touch on RF (which is the really interesting part of analog anyway) you have to somehow talk about the difference between DC and AC, unless you talk about it in an exclusively academic way as if it's some EE relic that you'll never use. It might come down to the fact that everyone is taught Ohm's Law first, which for me seems a terrible way to teach EE because it forces an immutable, instantaneous relationship for your circuit (aka spooky action at a distance) whereas impedance has a meaning grounded in how the electrons interact with matter. I threw away everything I learned in EE/ohm's law when my mentor taught me impedance because the mathematics, units, and physical intuition finally fell into place.

The benefit of an apprenticeship is that you are usually taught in a project setting with tools that have this knowledge largely built in. All you have to know is the theoretical implications of each of your use cases (and there aren't many in say, consumer smartphone design, except for the antenna) and what the jargon is for your software. Altium has "matched lengths," "interactive differential pair routing," "impedance matching," etc. which you can use with specific engineering calculators ( http://www.mantaro.com/resources/impedance_calculator.htm is my favorite) and the software will do the rest. Literally, point, click, and drag.

Maybe the USA is "successfully pressuring" Russia, but that thought inspires despair. Of all the things to pressure Russia about (e.g. their own civil liberties violations, the even-worse civil liberties violations in the former Soviet "republics", their support for Assad in Syria, nuclear proliferation, nuclear disarmament, organized crime, environmental degradation, their undermining of former Soviet-bloc nations, etc.), this is the choice of the Nobel Peace Prize Winner? Some fop who embarrassed General Surveillance and didn't actually threaten anyone's actual security?
