He's making a claim that various countries claim to be untrue (they say his plane wasn't denied). So reminding people that Morales is no stranger to making false claims is relevant IMO. That being said, those other countries could be the ones lying too for all I know. No need to get rude though.
Right. I get a call, I need to leave for a meeting in 5 minutes. This is exactly the time when I want to cut branch commits, push branches, pull branches, commit and rebase. Even rsync is better than that.

Put it another way, I don't understand why you'd use Dropbox at all, after all you could easily version all your files in git, using push/pull/branch/commit/rebase to get your data to your different machines. Git handles this problem very well, after all.
So it is, my mistake. I got it from a bad source[1]. I think the point still stands though; period dramas are relatively inexpensive to make.

Sparks didn't have RSS... did it?
It's tempting to think of this as UK-specific issue, but countries like the UK serve as role models.

It might be prudent to start campaigning against the most egregious provisions of RIPA.

Hey! I am also in this position, where I am eagerly doing so much marketing everyday hoping for a hockey stick growth.

I've always thought startups has to have this hockey stick growth, because if we're going to fail, it's better to fail fast than spend another year not growing rapidly.

But where would you draw the line? Would having a growth that generates enough revenue to cover operation cost enough?
Let's imagine that the US collapses tomorrow, Soviet Union style. Do you think the world will be a better place? I think it will be much worse, as someone will take its place and its either Russia or China.

I am really, really hoping that the US citizens will eventually be able to fix the government.

I've said it since early in Correa's campaign, and I'll say it again: that guy is a really special politician. He's his country's Bismark, but he's done it all democratically. I've been living down here 9 months per year for the last 7 years and it's been an interesting time.

Check out his Enlace Ciudadanos on their youtube channel. http://www.youtube.com/user/PresidenciaEc and you'll see how he goes way beyond the stump speech. He's spending 2 or 3 hours every week personally articulating the government's policy at the town-hall level.

Yeah, like every politician everywhere who wants to consolidate support, he uses the US as a punching bag. And the one genuinely messed-up thing he's done are his media laws, which make it hard for any large independent media companies to flourish. But he's no Hugo Chavez. He's too smart, and too good of a politician, to need to be.
She means that Evo is acting much more civilized than she we would have in the same situation. He asks her how she is doing before she does, so she thinks that he is acting very calm about the whole thing.
I don't get it. Even if all of us RSS reading dinosaurs were to be forced into the information age, we'd probably go to Twitter / Facebook and not G+.

So why exactly is the death of RSS in Google's best interest unless they're actively trying to send users away to their competition ?
thanks for sharing. :)

"Quelques grammes de finesse dans un monde de brutes"
Totally agree, it's sad to see how companies tend to want to grow (alienating employees in the process), never let go of any client (giving them features beyond scope) and top executives wanting always bigger salaries (what do you really want with all that money anyway?)

Refusing to provide encryption keys is the same thing. There might be illegal data, there might not be. It's the duty of the police to prove it, not the accused.

I rather think that's where this comes in:

When I was asked to make this address I wondered what I had to say to you boys who are graduating. And I think I have one thing to say. If you wish to be useful, never take a course that will silence you. Refuse to learn anything that implies collusion, whether it be a clerkship or a curacy, a legal fee or a post in a university. Retain the power of speech no matter what other power you may lose. If you can take this course, and in so far as you take it, you will bless this country. In so far as you depart from this course, you become dampers, mutes, and hooded executioners. -- John J. Chapman

Retroshare is nice, but can't be used to talk in public as a member of the public with other members of the public. I mean, a few friends talking freely behind closed doors? Even dictatorships have that.

Don't take this wrong, I know you meant to point out a cool program, and I'm not having a go at you or anyone seeking technical solutions for this.. but I think this is a social/political problem, and ultimately needs to be deal with as such, if we're ever to achieve anything real.

If talking freely is risky, because we're still in the stone age in so many ways, then I want the risks, not to shut up.
That's funny because, what, all US politicians use cocaine?
It has been officially confirmed that Spain and France did not refuse airspace. It seems that the airspace restrictions announcement (by unknown source) was made to disrupt the flight, and create a halo of sovereign support towards limiting Snowden's freedom of movement.

Modules.zendframework.com : A open source real webapp in ZF2
At present people are harassed or turned away at the border for their published views, that policy could get worse in time, and information online lives forever (esp. if it is intercepted and stored). So it might be prudent to limit your statements online, or just accept you're not going to visit the US any more.

Laura Poitras for example is routinely questioned for hours on entering or leaving the US, just because she made a film about Iraq. She is no danger to the US, she is not a terrorist or associated with them any more than another journalist, and yet she is harassed for her views, even before she interviewed Snowden. I believe Jacob Appelbaum is another example.

She's quite high profile, but I personally know of at least one other case of someone being detained every time they crossed the border - an ordinary apolitical person living in the US, stopped every time for hours simply because of where they were born or their name, they were never sure which. It was so frequent that they gave up living/working there.
They are a farce, but they shouldn't be. A common defense policy would be so much more effective AND efficient. The real problem is that we would need a common foreign policy too...
The Commercialization of Analytics: A Vital Thread in the Internet of Things
Google is successful if it has free access to web content. Unfortunately Facebook locks out Google (and pretty much everyone else in a non-consumer role), and so someone at Google felt the need to do something about that.

In short the US has no clue where Snowden is.
With all their PRISM tech the US cannot find Snowden which is clear from the Bolivian incident.

The reason I use Firefox is because it has a set of extensions I find useful, and because I like Firefox Sync (end-to-end encryption of bookmarks/history etc.).

Whether the browsers shave a few microseconds off JavaScript performance is neither here nor there for me: but perhaps I'm a weirdo.

Performance is nice, but not enough of a reason for me to switch browser.

Except it makes sense if you realize that designations are for changing existing terrain and the language reflects that, so using it to "carve [a] staircase" out of thin air doesn't really make sense. Building one from the buildings menu in a space that has been mined out does.

I admit there are problems with the dwarf fortress interface, major ones, like job management. However this is not one of those problems.
There's more to come. And Obama wants to make sure Snowden's the last one to ever try it. So it's about a lot more than trying to stop or get one single man.

We don't have anti-incrimination laws. If you go in front of a judge, the judge has the right to all relevant information with which to make a decision. What happened here is that the judge asked for the keys and was refused them. Plain and simple. If you don't trust your judicial system to (eventually) get to the right answer, you've got bigger problems.
Yes, it's unprecedented to stop and frisk a world leader on suspicion of someone on board.
I applaud that attitude - we definitely need more Edward Snowdens!

No, Morales landed in the (Spanish-controlled) Canary Islands to refuel after he was denied access to France, et al.

The quote from Morales in this article may be part of the source for the confusion, but as you say the Spanish press reports there was some delay, and I imagine Morales was pretty upset already. His quote seems to be lumping Spain in with the others.

What's your source for the Spanish press, if I may ask?

I realize that I'm not citing any great sources for what happened in Spain, I'm working on it...

Here's one that lists France, Portugal, and Italy as nations denying Morales access to their airspace: http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/07/03/us-usa-security-sn...
To be more accurate, the general brought down himself: McCrystal had developed an extremely inflated sense of self and irreplaceability, and was openly dismissive of civilian oversight (which is kind of worrisome coming from a man who directs weapons). The reporter simply reported how McCrystal was openly acting around him, leading to the administration taking action.

I only say this because people often talk about that as if the reporter had done deep black ops to gain covert information, thus making enemies throughout the establishment, when in reality he simply reported quotes directly fed to him, and in some ways acting on behalf of the establishment.

This is apparently the subject of some debate.

More specifically to me, it depends on what branch I'm on. If I'm on dev, I have no problem with big commits. (For features I'll often set a bookmark [hg]- maybe even clone and work from the clone if it's risky).

But if I'm on test or hotfixing on stable, I use very small commits so that I can easily graft (backport) back to dev.

But at the very least I have more than one commit message like -FIX blah blah commit so can get from <name of other machine>

My entire work folder is inside my Dropbox. Most of those projects are under Git version control, other temporary folders, toy projects and bits and bobs are not. This way my work folder is nominally backed up and synced across my machines. I wouldn't advocate using Dropbox as the only/primary backup and version control for important projects, but its totally legitimate to have code inside of a Dropbox.

This is... interesting.

You mean like the official statements on how the US aren't listening to its citizen's phone calls? I don't think an 'official statement' holds any weight after what we've seen in the past few weeks.
Yesterday evening, at 9:24 PM GMT, the portuguese public TV station showed a news piece (http://www.rtp.pt/noticias/index.php?article=663664&tm=7&lay...) saying that Edward Snowden had already left Moscow on the Bolivian presidential aircraft. According to the report, the fact Snowden was on the plane was the reason invoked by the portuguese government to deny landing.

There's no indication of source for this report, neither a search on the internet on the following hour revealed anything similar.

So I'm guessing now that this was probably planted to make sure the portuguese government had something to corroborate their decision.

Really shameful...
I respect those who believe, for example, that the earth was created in 7*24 = 168 hours.

Logging is a powerful tool to debug a problem, but it comes with a cost, a high penalty in performance. So debugging should be flexible enough to have different levels (info, debug, warning, error/fatal) and of course have lots more logging when debugging but eliminate all logging except for errors or exceptions when on a production environment. Writing a log to a disk is a blocking IO operation, and thus terribly slow.

The question is whose data is it? Padmapper just scraped whole site for apartment listings. This is an action by the user to take their post, which they wrote, and redisplay it somewhere else.

If I write an ad for a chair I want to sell, I should be able to post it to Craigslist and any other site I want to. The Krrb button is no different than the user manually copying and pasting her own content into Krrb's posting form.
Finding out who is calling my code in Java dynamically
Well, I guess, the source code sooner or later is accessible to _somebody_ at _some_ development stage or in _some_ version.

But can we really trust companies that work with the NSA to sell us the version compiled _without_ the backdoors?

Plus, always keep in mind that these companies have lied to us about PRISM - with straight faces.
I don't think you'll find many people disagreeing with you. It's a decision they've made. What else is there to say about it?

Bitcoin London Conference Recap
My guess is that these unnamed officials in Spain and France are playing games with terminology, to confuse matters. Like they didn't "refuse airspace", they just refused to give the plane a flight plan through the airspace.
This is the UK not the US. They don't have a 5th amendment.

In the US courts are split on the issue. Some say giving an encryption key is testifying, an act of the mind, and you can't force someone to testify against themselves under the 5th. Others say its like handing over a regular key, which you can be forced to do, because the 5th covers testimony, not everything incriminating. It was intended to prevent forced confessions.

Once you're in front of a court you don't get to keep secrets, with the exception of some narrow protections. This has always been the case in the Anglo-American system.

He's not saying it's impossible to crash a car using a telematics exploit. He's saying that's a uniquely stupid way to have someone killed. 40-60mph collisions between trees and modern cars aren't uniformly fatal; instead of killing Hastings, the attack was equally likely to have left a witness talking about how all the sudden his car started driving itself.

This guy's car crashed into a tree. He was doing national security reporting. That's all the factual information you have right now. But peoples' cars crash into trees all the time. Contrary to message board opinion, many of those cars do indeed catch fire. Weigh against that the silliness of this particular means of assassinating someone. Occam's Razor kicks in.
