Android devices already provide with drivers capable of real time zoom effects or any other capability of the device, measured in OpenGL extensions support.

They are not that well documented, but they work ok, because if not, the manufacturer does not sell the device.

Mir inherits Android graphic system on purpose.

In wayland you need Open drivers, like Nouveau which are very slow as the power management is not complete, or they are not sure enough to activate it(it could toast thousands of cards):

I have been somewhat of a Google fanboy (alright, too strong-a-term, but you get the idea).
I encourage people to leave Google - because you know what? If enough people leave, Google will fight EVEN harder to stop blanket monitoring. When I hear Google scream from the top of their lungs "innocent until proven guilty" and "burden of proof required" then I will believe they are doing enough. Maybe Google should change it's background color to black?
Until then, I fully support anyone who looks for alternatives.

It's much easier to scan and correlate email data on a massive scale if it is all centralized in the one place (GMail servers).

I'm not saying that is what's happening, just saying it makes it easier.
Not to come across as too much of a Haskell fanboy, but this is almost the exact sweet spot for Haskell: Typesafe operations over recursive structures. I'd say C# and F# would also be good choices. I completely understand and agree with your concerns about microsoft, but there always mono :-)

On a separate note: sqlalchemy is one of the best pieces of software I've ever used in any language!

I've not found any Pages or Communities that were worth the effort. And however fast you page, you still end up viewing close to one item per page, which is ridiculous.

Traditionally yes, and oatcakes are pretty common here as well. Bulk produced oatcakes are sometimes sweetened and rather compressed, proper oatcakes aren't sweetened and have a much rougher texture.
If there is an transaction between the user and the company, i.e. data in exchange for service, I do find it a bit strange that the tax office has not started to extract sales tax on it.

Might be a bit evil/selfish, but I somewhat hope that services that user need to pay for with personal data gets taxed, just so that truly "free" services can get an competitive edge on the market.

Rick, one of the biggest costs I hear about in the field is the cost of pre-allocating funds to upcoming trials without knowing how much to pre-allocate. The other is knowing how to profile clinicians and help them to raise their ability to recruit patients. Do you manage to address either of these points?

Oh I realise, but the title suggested otherwise (and not everyone RTFA, though I did).

I was actually replying to others in this discussion who advocated "move your email too".

I originally composed the above as a reply to one of those, realised I was replying to several (4 at this point) other replies, and figured I'd make the point more generally that moving email provider achieves little.
The part where even if that is true, there are other, cheaper staples. This should be a classic self-correcting problem. The world as a whole has gotten by on staples other than quinoa. Now that the market price of this particular local staple has skyrocketed, it can be sold in exchange for greater quantities of less-expensive staples used elsewhere.

If there is in fact a problem (and I do question its existence), I believe lukasb is looking for it in the wrong place.

If GMail kills email marketing, I will walk all the way around the world to Palo Alto and personally shake Larry & Sergey by the hand. Nobody likes email marketing, not even the people building their livelihoods on top of it.

If Google managed to snuff out such a widely reviled marketing channel, it would be an enormously disruptive force in the tech industry. And disruptive forces aren't hurtful for the startup community at all. Disruption makes room for innovation.

Sure, it'd be bad news for SendGrid, but it'd be awesome news for some lucky group of people in the 2015 YC batch.

It is dangerous to assume causality from any data alone. (Data and statistics are over-rated nowadays). You need to do the harder work of discovering the proper mathematical model (equation) relating explicitly the dependent (caused) variables to the independent (causing) variables. In the absence of such a verified and proven model, you just can not take a shortcut of pulling causality out of statistics, like a rabbit out of a hat.
Incidentally, the "Simpson's paradox" to which so much attention is given here, is a trivial illustration of the fact that you can not meaningfully add percentages from differing amounts. Something every school kid ought to learn.
It's mainly for the depression - - but I've found since starting the medication that I've been able to focus far better than before. There are some studies around where they tested this drug for ADHD with kids.

I've tried a few other drugs for both ADHD and depression / anxiety over the years, but this one seems to be the sweet spot between helping with everything. Hardly scientific, but it's my experience.

I should note that at lower doses mirtazapine (remeron) helps with insomnia. For me, I'm on a higher dose (45mg) where this isn't the case.

> "It goes over the internet in plain text..."

Yes, but only because setting up proper encryption in email is a pain (but it isn't impossible). Email makes the most sense to move off centralised services if privacy/security of your data is one of your aims.

Edit: Though to be fair to the OP, that's not the threat model he's tackling. It's more the potential for service shutdown or lockout (which I think is low risk in the case of Gmail).

It's a service called everything.me - it provides search for the apps on the phone itself and also indexes a bunch of web pages already wrapped as lightweight "apps" that work on the phone with no install needed, see http://everything.me/ and https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2012/11/28/mozilla-invests-in-...

Firefox OS has an "add to home screen" feature in the browser that creates very similar app icons (there's a very similar iPhone feature - this was the original supported way to provide apps on that platform in fact, before people started demanding an SDK to make apps more like Apple's). It is very similar to a bookmark, in fact it's right under "Bookmark" when the press the star in the browser.

Both of the above types of "apps" just launch a lightweight chromeless browser (there's a little arrow on the bottom of the screen you can hit to get a little toolbar with back/forward/reload buttons).

However they don't have the same access to APIs that a packaged Open Web App (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Apps and https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebAPI) that you'd install from e.g. the Firefox Marketplace could have, since they need to be reviewed and versioned (they are actually downloaded and installed on the phone - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox_OS/...)

That's what he did - he threatened to kill. I'm not familiar with US law so maybe there is something more appropriate he could be charged with.

I think it's a time of opportunity now. Someone could become the provider of private internet experience to uproot Google, Apple, MS and the rest.

We need a single, all in one solution for all the basic things: email, search, video, photos, social networking, calendar, sync and maps. Have I forgotten anything? Another essential app is a Tor-like browser with strong privacy support.

All of this needs to be bundled in a private cloud app capable of handling from one person to a group with thousands of people, like, for example, a university.

We need to be able to own our own data, to have access to our logs and to be the only party who has access to our logs. This whole thing needs to be open source and thoroughly tested.
It would "just" require a manufacturer to offer a sufficiently good partnership to a handful of the largest supermarket chains. The large ones like Walmart, Carrefour, Tesco etc. have more than enough market power to simply tell their suppliers they'll suffer from marketing favouring their competitors if they don't add labelling following a certain standard.

Having discussed such issues with people internationally for 15 years, my experience paints a different picture. This is becoming an issue within many societies around the world, from China to north Africa to Europe to the Americas. While youth are certainly more aware of the challenges, the issues cross a generation gap and I have seen evidence of significant growth in concern even in the older parts of populations. Years ago, the number of people I could have a discussion with on these matters with was miniscule, these days absolute strangers broach the subject themselves.
Do you remember the blue ribbon internet campaign back in the late 90s? At the time, I went into Australian #irc channels raising awareness. I was assuming that most Australians on the Internet (back then) were technically literate and would care.
I had quite a few people who said "go fuck yourself" in different forums when I raised the issue. I hate to say it, but I do consider many of my Australian bretheren to be "redneck" like, but not quite like the "stereotype" you see in the movies.
Hoping for the average Australian to "give a fuck" is not going to happen.

Yeah that makes sense. But then he uses the model wrongly, since he puts "hidden factor" "smoking" "lung cancer" in the vertices, and not "hidden factor (t=0)", "smoking(t=1)" and "lung cancer(t=2)". Further if used like that, then a possible hidden factor could actually be "lung cancer(t=0)", since it could (conceivably) cause both "smoking(t=1)" and "lung cancer(t=2)".

Chesterton's Fence!

"In the matter of reforming things, as distinct from deforming them, there is one plain and simple principle; a principle which will probably be called a paradox. There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say, for the sake of simplicity, a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, “I don’t see the use of this; let us clear it away.” To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: “If you don’t see the use of it, I certainly won’t let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it."

All modern IQ tests that I am aware of have normal distributions (ie, the mean, median, and mode are all the same) by design.

> a hint, you cannot disregard something merely because it's implausible

Coming back to Bayesian statistics, the word for this is prior, and its not that you disregard evidence, its that you can quantify both your existing beliefs about reality and the change in your beliefs according to the evidence you see.

Firstly, our hint: we have a prior assumption of the probability that the popularity of Facebook is driving up Greek debt (call it P(Fg)). Then, we observe a correlation between these two things. For the sake of argument, I'm going to make this 0.001 (I'd probably estimate less).

Now, once we see this correlation, we now need to calculate two things: 1. The probability of observing that correlation (call that P(C)). Note that the more extraordinary the correlation, the less probable it is, and the smaller this term would be. In this case, the graph matches vaguely, I'm going to give it a probability of 0.1.

2. Given a world where there is a causation, what is the probability we'd see this correlation (Q: I'm not 100% on this part). Now, Greek debt could plausibly be driven by other things, which would mask the Facebook effect, so there's no guarantee there would be a correlation. This term is called P(C | Fg), and I have no idea what value to give it. Let's try 0.5.

What we want to know is: P(Fg | C), that is, the probability of a connection given we have observed a correlation.

Boom! P(Fg | C) = P(C | Fg) x P(Fg) / P(C)

So our posterior probability (after observing this correlation) changes from 0.001 to 0.001 x 0.5 / 0.1 = 0.005
I did a little assembler in a course at university. When you write instructions that tell a CPU where to go next, it all becomes fairly visible.

Even C blurs the model (which itself is a lie these days, but no matter). It didn't matter so much when C was created, because early C programmers were also assembler programmers. These days that's no longer true.

Isn't the point of client certs that the private key should never leave the machine? I.e. when you want to get access from a Smartphone you just initiate a new certification process, some admin ticks off a new public key and you're set? For consumer faced apps I could see some initial authentication process where for every new public key the user gets an E-Mail in order to activate it. Using it this way I think there is also no reason to use the browser UI for importing / exporting certificates, at least not for the users themselves. Still, the question remains why no-one is using it.

So he should be punished because firstly people couldn't infer that he was joking and secondly still couldn't infer that he was joking after he clarified that he was joking? 'jk' is really not that hard to figure out given the context.

Regardless of whether people know what he means, his intent is very clear. He shouldn't be punished because some people are too stupid to interpret what he's saying or deliberately misinterpret what he's saying to get him in to trouble.
