I don't measure latency as including rendering time. Maybe I'm not "rendering" anything except pure html.

I measure HTTP latency as the time it takes to retrive the resources.

Whatever happens after that is up to the user. Maybe she wants to just read plain text (think text-only Google cache). Maybe she wants to view images. Maybe she wants to view video. Maybe she only wants resources from one host. Maybe she does not want resources from ad servers. We just do not know. Today's webpages are so often collections of resources from a variety of hosts. We can't presume that the user will be interested in each and every resource.

Of course those doing web development like to make lots of presumptions about how users will view a webpage. Still, these developers must tolerate that the speed of users' connections vary, the computers they use vary, and the browsers they use vary, and some routinely violate "standards". Heck, some users might even clear their browser cache now and again.

But HTTP is not web development. It's just a way to request and submit resources. Nothing more, and nothing less.
Building your own is great, but all I really want is a small package that I can drop on my ARM NAS that will keep a copy of my Dropbox data. Dropbox themselves have been dragging their feet on this for some unexplained reason.
Is this based on actual court proceedings you've encountered, or the "OMG saying 'hi' will be treated as a sexual advance!" boogyman?

Honestly the only way this will happen is as long as there is a Democrat in the White House. No, not because Democrats are better on privacy, but because the only thing Republicans love more than voting in draconian policies to fight "terror" is voting on anything that makes Obama look bad.

I'll believe it when I see it. Oh wait, its top secret. I guess I'll never believe it or even trust the government on this matter.
I think these agreements are in place so that if a malicious employee is hired and he accesses your data without authorization, they can fire the employee and be done. If their privacy policy said they wouldn't share the data, then they'd have to pay you damages. Since users aren't demanding actual privacy but do demand damages when they technically can, one would expect every company to write this sort of policy.
Well done. It's amazing how micro improvements to a logo can make it stand out more, be more memorable, and more readable by getting rid of imperfections and distractions like misalignments. Oddly enough the same can be said for plastic surgery, less is often more. As others pointed out, the only little issue is that for some the logo now reads "Mail Chinys" or "Mail Chimys". A slight alteration to the curvature of the "p" can fix this. Basically by making it rounder and less like a cursive "s".
One interesting thing is that the mechanism of SVMs is formally identical to that of either deep or shallow neural network. The main thing that different is the learning mechanism. I believe Neural Networks inherently take more time to learn than SVMs but for all I know networks could learn a set "better".

I believe NNs and SVMs involve tweaks and judgement to perfect
There was an article on the BBC site recently about a spy program during WW2 that consisted of pampering high-ranking German POW's in a mansion while British agents listened in through bugging devices.

Apparently, the program worked wonderfully, and they got a lot of useful intelligence out of it. However, word somehow got out that German prisoners there were being treated like royalty while the British public starved. There was outrage in Parliament, and Churchill ordered the program shut down.

British intelligence pretended to follow Churchill's orders, but actually continued the program in secret. The information they were getting was just too useful. They just stopped telling Churchill about it.

I expect something similar might happen here. To the public's knowledge, to most of Congress, and maybe even to Obama, the program might appear to be shut down. But it'll either continue wholesale or morph in to something else that's effectively the same (or even worse).

Unfortunately, there really is no way to verify the words of these spy agencies. Virtually no one has the clearance to go inside their datacenters and check. Now they'll probably just be a lot more careful about keeping what they do secret.

Remember that the NSA is far from the only secret agency in the US. For a long time its very existence was denied. The running joke in Washington was that "NSA" stood for "No Such Agency". Eventually, its existence was confirmed. But there are probably dozens if not hundreds of other secret agencies that operate under the so-called "black budget" that Congress authorizes. Who knows what they do? Something like PRISM could easily migrate to one or more of them.
> Being a women of breading age, she was specifically asked if she intended to have children in the next 5 years which was a non-starter. These were small firms that couldn't afford to have a junior partner off for maternity leave

That's sexism, plain and simple. Who are they to assume she's going to take extended maternity leave and be the primary care giver? They would never ask that of a man (most male law partners are married and have kids), because they would as assume that his wife would take care of the kids. That's sexism.

>This is true, but it should be noted that gender discrimination is fundamentally related to patriarchy and misogyny.

I don't agree with your definition.

>I'm from the US, so I can't speak for every place, but that is most certainly not true here. Women and trans* folks are far more likely to experience sexual assault and violence compared to men and generally women face systemic issues revolving around family and work that men do not.

I disagree, even with US. Men face more violence than women, for example.

>In the US lack of "father's rights" is a red herring. Men have a high success rate in getting custody in family court when they pursue custody, however men do not pursue custody nearly as often. Also, any kind of bias or discrimination in favor of women in family court is rooted in misogyny in the first place.

Ah, so discrimination against men is actually discrimination against women? I disagree with your invented definition.
I'm already out of law school so unless you have a time machine, it's not something I will probably get into great depth with myself but I'm always glad to see more stuff like it pop up.

I'm nitpicking here, but I thought that Microsoft was based in Redmond, WA.

(from the article)
how Microsoft worked hand-in-hand with the Federal Bureau of Investigation in order to ensure that law enforcement could bypass encryption mechanisms and easily listen-in and watch conversations conducted over Silicon Valley giant’s Outlook.com chat portal and Skype messaging platform.

I'm not from California (been there twice,) and I've lived in Washington state, but is Microsoft considered to be a "Silicon Valley giant?"
Holy s. That is 100% not what the headline says.
Huh, I thought that word auto-killed comments. I am so sick of seeing it.
>That's something I've always wondered about. It seems like at some point it became trendy to hate on Bose - hence almost every online discussion about them having a dozen people show up to say they're overpriced and sound like crap, yet I don't think I've ever seen one of those threads where someone actually names speakers that are better AND cheaper.

In my experience every thread which criticizes Bose offers better alternatives. This is true at least for reddit's r/audiophile.
Maybe explain why it's a better choice than Bootstrap? It's certainly visually different, but still awfully similar to most end users.

Do you also have Dropbox installed on a desktop at your place?

Maybe you could co-monitor your desktop Dropbox folder using this: http://sparkleshare.org/

It appears to be a Mono/.NET based project, but apparently there's Mono for ARM.

There's probably other options as well - just a thought :)

No source code, but the tool uses a number of different APIs, some paid, some free. The Moz API, which has a free tier has a good repo for getting started here: https://github.com/seomoz/SEOmozAPISamples
Nobody in audio respects Bose products, though. They're overpriced and low-quality.
Oh my god. I'd seriously write fuck you letters in 72pt bold comic sans ms to all other companies, explaining what dicks they were. Seriously, 4 months of nothing (must have been lots of applications), and then the word "Mr" changes it all? Incredible.
I don't know of any, but I imagine there are a bunch on YouTube and so forth. I will say that of the two, Charles is the easier to use and I don't think too hard to figure out without any docs.
I agree... I seem to recall a time when "yellow journalism" was frowned upon, yet recently it's about all we've seen from the mainstream media.
Did a quick browse through the code. A couple of things jumped out:

1. A number of CSS classes have 'furatto' as a prefix ex. '.furrato-block'. This seems a bit counter-productive as the word itself does not add any value to meaning of the class names.

2. I notice that for the responsive design the class is '.row-fluid', but since responsive is now a norm it may make sense to have '.row' be fluid/default and have a '.row-fixed' class for the few that may want a fixed only.

3. I like the font, it works well, but for the navbar links its a little tough to read. Also the '.motto' class is almost impossible to read, though changing the font color for the class should suffice.

4. I really like the circular images and the inclusion of date picker and toolbars js.

I will definitely try it out and watch it on github.

p.s. you may want to look into the double right scrollbar that is on the github.io pages.
Thanks for that link, even though I think your quote is a bit out of context. I read it to say that in 2010 governments were a lot better than the 'bad old days' but still had a ways to go. What was your take on it?

One of five possible definitions includes losing weight in no universe means that diet means "lose weight" -- you don't get to choose what Diet means on a can of soda.

Diet is nothing more than the things you eat, and a "diet" can be to lose, gain, maintain weight, or simply to pay attention to what you eat for the purposes of healthy eating. A diet soda is a soda modified to reduce/eliminate sugar, which again is in no way manifestly correlated with losing weight.
Its a niche product. No one wants MRAM right now, so the people who produce it can sell it for however much they want to.

Its not necessarily better than DDR3 RAM as RAM, and its significantly less dense than Flash RAM. The practical applications of MRAM are not quite as popular as once thought...

So... it remains a niche product, with a niche price.
If you're buying from the App Store, this is probably a terrible idea. Other software distributors (like Steam, for example) have been known to disable people's accounts when they do a chargeback.

Chargebacks aren't just "I want my money back". They're meant to fight against fraud, and there's an implicit indication that you won't be doing business with that vendor any more because of this.

Prosecution would merely serve to force someone to choose a scapegoat. We need to ensure that Congress is meaningfully providing oversight of the executive branch.
Sure he is. After all this negative publicity, how could he not be saying that? Even seriously considering it or just doing it, even if it were just to save his own ass. It doesn't matter what impact on security it has really. Either surveillance is not important for national security, or it's beneficial for himself to stop it. It might be either of the two, we don't know.
Good observation, I did not notice that. I'll create the issue at github, thanks a lot I really appreciate it!.
Virtual tables are not quite the same thing.

You can grep for every instantiation of the struct in the code-base.

If anything, macros are more problematic:

#define VTABLE_INIT(prefix) \
(struct vtable){ .add = &prefix##_add, .sub = &prefix##_sub, and so forth }
Targeting users is pointless. No consumer is going to call up their senator and demand reforms to patent law. They just don't care. The thing to understand is that patent trolls did not create the existing regime. They're opportunists, but they have no money or lobbying power behind them. It was the IBMs of the world that brought software patents to the fore. It's companies like that that perpetuate the regime. Imagine you're a senator: you see Apple and Samsung spend millions litigating over some patents. What is your takeaway, as a non-technical person? It must be really important...

It's the tech giants that must be persuaded to lobby hard for patent reform. These are the people who can fix the regime: http://techpost.bsa.org/2013/02/22/clear-thinking-on-softwar..., because these are the people who Congressmen consider to be the "experts" on the tech sector whose opinion they value.

I used to think this too.
Haha, no. I was just curious about the feasibility these days of FreeBSD on a laptop.
Just like he promised in his 2008 campaign.
I would pay for someone to take care of this for me. I presently run a GH Pages static blog but would like complete control of the build. I want to upload a .zip somewhere and have things just work.
Counterpoint: Macros. Though you could preprocess the code and grep that, it wouldn't work too well. Eclipse-et-al can give you a sort-of-works-most-of-the-time navigation features that work with the preprocessed code, which can overcome the macro problem, mostly.
In a proper system, the electorate has the power to remove and empower officials, who therefore do not have independent power. And, the electorate is "generous" (rational) enough to concede to invididual rights. The latter is actually the problem in the USA. Unlike in 1776, the intellectual leaders of the country (and therefore the populace) are anti-individual rights.
If the only thing you're doing is rerouting I'm sure Apache can handle pretty sick traffic as well.

Very good point - but at least it won't be as easy for them to do it. These NSA activities require the co-operation and silence of a lot of different entities - and that would be much harder to obtain if they don't have legal standing.

Plus - if you get caught going against the executive and the congress - you'll eventually lose your funding.

Having said that - I tend to agree with the comments above suggesting that the executive will just rename it all and try and make the story go away while actually ramping up the program.
The only thing that was defunded was any program called "TIA." The behavior has continued apace under other names just fine. Thus it was always so, and this is just another "if you can't change the product, change the packaging" non-change from Obama. He's just trying to trick you, because they're going to keep on doing whatever they want to do until people start getting voted out of office in favor of people who won't fund the behavior.
On the other hand, the developers built the game with the assumption that you'd be playing on the basis of a standard set of software. If you change that software, the assumption is broken.

I wonder if the TOS says anything about agreeing to not play on jail-broken devices...
Doesn't CL also fail the grep test? You can generate function names on-the-fly, can't you?
You should make another "fake" account (this time, with a feminine name, but with the same wealth of information as the macho-fake one) and see which of the two fake ones gets more (professional) attention and compare them with each other, not your real account.
I feel like Congress must have known what was going on. Washington is all about using secrets as political currency. I find it hard to believe that so many politicians had no idea. Most likely trying to deflect negative public reaction.
The only way to be sure is for Congress to cut the funding for the NSA to zero. Of course, others would spring up, but they would think twice, knowing that getting busted gets you the boot.

Putting the director of the NSA behind bars for 25 years would also act as a deterrent for future would-be spy-on-americans-is-ok directors of whatever agencies.
The Wikipedia page on Chromium[0] gives some differences, though my remark was admittedly mostly based on the description of the chromium package in Debian[1], which at least claims ‘usage tracking’ (and the generally useless and backdoor-like auto-updater).

Going to shamelessly plug the show I host, Techendo (http://techendo.co) -- I'm building the Audio RSS feed tonight.
Their reputation in the US, as far as I've observed, is that they produce the best designed (in the UX sense) and highest quality (in terms of sound) audio equipment in the consumer price range, albeit at the high end of that price range.

As others in this thread have stated, their reputation online seems to be much less positive. There seem to be two main groups of people who contribute to that less positive reputation: (1) those with expertise in audio equipment who state things like Bose doesn't have nearly as good range of sound as professional equipment and (2) those who don't provide an explanation beyond "Bose sucks" (analogous to the anti-Mac vitriol that was widely seen until the late 2000s).

stonemetal presumably labeled the latter group as "audiophile hipsters" because their behavior appears to be the result of thinking it's cool to criticize products that are popular among mainstream consumers but which they believe to be deemed inferior by experts.
If you really believe this, why would would you agree with something like "Republicans just want to tax the poor"?

I didn't take potshots at Democrats, I just pointed out that taking potshots at Republicans wasn't furthering the discussion.
Obama considered closing Guantanamo, too.

That ending surveillance requires consideration indicates the probable outcome at the end of that consideration. The historic precedent for an agency unfettered with regard to building dossiers on citizens is Hoover's FBI. His files included elected politicians. I suspect it is naive to suppose that there is not a big file on each member of the executive branch.
If he wasn't responding to my comment then a general comment about the court system is off topic. I didn't bring up the court system. It would be strange for me to assume he is veering off topic rather than commenting on the situation I described.
