No, he's saying that it will be on by default- to "tick something off" is to add a tick against it in a list. As in, to check the box.
One thing I feel you miss out if you don't use GA is 'Google-juice'. Maybe it's just like blowing into a Super Nintendo cartridge, but I think using GA increases your SEO with Google.

Am I mistaken?
Selfish? I don't get it.

Wait... you're assuming the alternative to the practice suggested in the OP is spending a lot of time focusing on instruction? (Of _undergrads_?)

I think you are misunderstanding the 'typical' approach to tenure-track career. I can assure you that the majority of people doing the "80 hour" work weeks are not focusing on teaching.

While the OP didn't mention really mention teaching, I would honestly assume the the author spends as much or more time on instruction/teaching, and does as good or better by her students, than the 'typical' workaholic junior tenure track faculty. The workaholics are not spending spending 80 hours a week because they're spending a lot of time on teaching, I assure you.
Then either you only bought boxed software, or had lots of luck.

I don't know a single person that did not had an AV on those days. Of course in Portugal you could only buy "backups".
I think they [the author] are intentionally exploring it. In fact, a good portion of the article is on the definition of "depict"[1], which would probably include books by most people's understanding. The other point is being available online - which books are via kindle and other services.

> Also falling into firmly into this category is Burgess' "A Clockwork Orange". Once again, it's available for Kindle, it definitely depicts rape, and it's read world-wide by millions.

This is both a book and a film - extremely famous, and has a rape scene. Is it going to be illegal (once again)?

Earlier, in the same section he says:

> Given that many contemporary novels (and less-contemporary) novels do deal with sexual abuse and rape, some of which explore the idea of "rape fantasy" (Herein referred to by the more accepted name, "ravishment") between consenting partners means that a large portion of those with an interest in BDSM and kink will fall into this category.

So, whether novels will be included or not, there is definitely already media which is currently legal and consumed by law abiding citizens who have no predilections or desires to rape anyone that may suddenly become illegal. This is a problem, in my opinion.

I'm glad I have the first and second amendments... for now.

"why should people go to lengths hiding the money they and their companies earn from the government"

1) Because governments, particularly democratic ones, tend to spread themselves very thin, change direction often, and serve to many masters, and lack an entrepreneurial surge of passion, they are less capable of unique, inspired, risk/reward, value proposition changes like talked about here.

2) Several inspired people taking different radical approaches is more likely to happen upon one that works. In short, he and Bill Gates and Warren Buffet are hackers of super-scale.
This is just the upside of running your own business. Summer food trucks have been a fixture in my city for decades around the state capitol. Some folks make a great living doing it.

My favorite was an older couple operating a small hotdog stand... they made a ridiculously delicious meatsauce and basically worked a 35 hour week in the summer in the Northeast, and a similar schedule for a couple of months down South.

They owned a nice house in city, were active in the church and community, and were genuinely good people, who made a great living selling hotdogs, mostly to government and Verizon workers.

But... they faced all of the downside risks of small business owners. Rain == slow or no sales. Big vacation weeks for the workforce == slow sales. Get sick? No pay. That said, it's probably still a better gig than being a game programmer.
Can't help but wonder if this is one of those things that will go downhill towards the "dangerous, better not try" once a wider demographic than the early adopter tech crowd gets involved. Like hitch-hiking?
Another clueful UK-based ISP is http://www.goscomb.net/

Have been very happy with my 80/20 FTTC service. /48 Native IPv6 and /29 IPv4, 300GB transfer/month (with no relationship to times used) for £60/month.

I'm a big fan of AAISP as well (had a bonded ADSL setup with them a while back), but the time-of-day restriction on bandwidth used isn't so great if you've got non-technical torrent-happy housemates.

Interview with Dean Wampler author of Programming Scala
I dropped Google+ for this exact reason. I refuse to support a platform that I didn't use when the parent company shuts down the platforms I do. My next phone will likely be Firefox os. I've started using duck duck go. Funny how this obvious information gathering and shameless promotion of what they're clearly no good at has ccompletely soured me to their brand.
Why You Need Web Transaction Monitoring
The numbers in the article don't quite add up. Shao bing is cheap food... usually 1.5 or 2 renminbi, maybe 2.5.

If they're selling 100 a day, every day, at 2.5元/each, that would be 250元/day and ~7500元/month.

7500元 is only about $1220.

So even if the article is only assuming revenue per month (and not profit), they still have to increase their price or sales (or some combination) by 267% to hit the $3,259/month mentioned.

If you're talking actual profit, which would be a more adequate comparison to his previous salary, then it's probably closer to a factor of 5.

There is no evidence of harm to children from light drinking during pregnancy.

What's the limit of "light drinking"? Nobody knows for sure. If the woman were making a decision about her own risk, that's one thing; but she's making a decision about the risk to her child. That makes a big difference; when you're imposing a risk on someone else, the standard should not be "is there evidence of harm", but "is the risk avoidable". The risk of drinking is avoidable, so it should be avoided.

So you really have to question the motives of a policy that dictates women to engage in a behavior that excludes them socially for an imagined benefit to children.

I question the motives of people who claim drinking is so socially necessary that it's OK to socially exclude people who don't drink, and OK to exert social pressure on women to drink while pregnant even if it might harm their child.

But that's really a red herring, because you're misrepresenting the policy--at least, the policy I've been advocating in this thread. I'm not saying anyone should force women to not drink during pregnancy; I'm just saying that, IMO, whatever imagined benefits there are to drinking are not worth the risk to the child.

There are plenty of criticisms of this law that are perfectly factual, like "Cameron doesn't have a God damn idea how the Internet works," or "No censorship scheme on the Internet has ever remained effective against the dedicated for more than a few minutes," or "Cameron has entirely failed to describe what he means by 'violent pornography' in a way that is specific enough to be legally actionable or differentiable from pornography/the Web in general." Not including any such facts in the main article is dishonest.

Newsflash: Early Mormon leaders practiced plural marriage!

Seriously, this is such a huge part of Latter-day Saint history that I am astounded that any member of the Church could not know it- unless they have their head in the sand. Maybe it isn't as well known in foreign countries that don't study American history so much. But it is hardly a fact that is hidden from anyone who cares to study LDS history. (Nor are any of the other questions mentioned in the article.)

After attempting the distribution of a command line application via Rubygems I came to the following conclusion: Any application not intended exculsively for Rubyists should not be distributed via Rubygems.

Another option could also be to convert gems (and dependency gems) to deb or rpm packages https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm/wiki/ConvertingGems

Of course the book will not be banned, this is an absurd link baity claim. The post is based on the ridiculous misconception that the wording BBC News are using will be anything like the actual text of the bill. Stories like these are given to the press to portray a flavor of what a policy will be - reading anything more into it would likely prove unwise.

You may not like LabVIEW, but it is extremely useful in some areas. For lab scientists who need to iterate quickly between taking useful data and running the experiment, it's nice to just copy and paste instead of naming new variables, etc.

Currently other solutions are either Matlab (which sounds soul-destroying) or Python (which is still nontrivial).
Log4j 2 using LMAX Disruptor, achieves 18 million logs/sec
I have recently cancelled my Google+ account, not only because of similar spam from Google, but also due to the lack of engagement on Google+. A little over half of my Facebook friends have a Google+ profile as well, but my Google+ feed has about 1 new post per week, while my Facebook feed has about 1 new post per 20 minutes. People I know don't like using Google+. I don't like using Facebook or Google+, but if I'm forced (social pressure) to use one of them, it will be Facebook, not Google's me-too platform.

To continue my rant, I also appreciate Facebook's fight to profitability, regardless of whether that means I see crappy ads or sponsored posts. This is because Facebook arose out of user engagement, not a desire to gather more users for ad views. Nonetheless, the end is as such, but the origins of such a platform mean something to me. It's a bit like Walmart opening a Whole Foods type of market, or something.

There is quite a huge deal of controversy around the heritability of IQ.

If anything, the story in this article shows that IQ is much more influenced by the environment than genetics.
Stop pitching long tail business models
Thanks! And I updated the post with your steps. I hope you don't mind that I changed "third party connections" to "third degree connections."
In the US, we had six party systems since the revolution. Each time we translation, we get two mostly new political parties which sometimes reuse the names of the defunct parties. Wikipedia has a good description: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Party_system#United_States
> Agree completely, this jumped out and slapped me in the face. Even images of actual rape should not be illegal. For one thing, that would mean that, for instance, documenting a rape-in-progress that you are unable to stop would be a crime.

Oh come on. Punching someone in the face is also a crime but I can happily punch a rapist committing the act. The law is not black and white and this sort of thinking only damages discourse.
"Statistics don't matter, even if one innocent person is saved it's worth it. "

You realise you could use the same statement to defend the death penalty? There are dozens of people in the UK who have been killed by people on life sentences that have been released but in earlier times would have face the death penalty.

I'm not pro-death penalty. I don't trust governments enough. I'd be happy with whole of natural life (i.e. no release ever) sentences.
I don't mean to troll, but isn't exploration and figuring things out a huge part of creating software. There are require.js examples apps on github , Q and As on Stackoverflow, and open source code that's available for digging deep. It only took me ~2 Days to get the gist of require.

Is it no longer good enough that the open source community builds great free things for us to use? Do they now have to upload the know how of these tools to the users brains in a Matrix like fashion?
> A criminal offence. Stop making up thought crimes, you authoritarian zealots!

So there is no difference between a murder and a manslaughter in your eyes?
Does anyone have the text of the law? Will it, for instance, be illegal for BDSM practitioners to tape their own sex acts for "private use" after this? This often involves simulated rape, albeit mutually consentual.
Who is intentionally exploring it? What makes you think this? Can you provide credible news sources to back up this claim that Cameron's intended anti porn measures (which have already seen conflicting pieces on opt-out vs opt-in) will be applied to books?

Other than a sensationalist blog post by someone whose passion for free speech led them to wildly jump to unfounded conclusions, which doesn't help the legitimate discussion around this topic at all?
This post doesn't contain an argument so much against require.js as against module systems as a whole. I think that is short-sighted for any project where performance is important because the fact is, most projects of that kind are still using Closure Compiler which in spite of being slow, produces much smaller, more efficient code than does Uglify. Particularly, the project will be compiled with ADVANCED_OPTIMIZATIONS which can break code that will work when uncompressed (when literal property names are not written as strings or externs are not defined properly, mainly). I think any compiler with really high quality output will probably be somewhat finicky with its inputs, so Closure Compiler is not unique in that regard.

But if you don't buy into compilation as a step in your frontend development cycle, I'm not sure there's much point in using require.js, goog.provide/require, or any other module system.
It's a shame stories like this fall off the front page so quickly. I particularly liked this part:

Two of the beat down stories involve competitors looking less strong over time. This “put yourself out of business” impulse is strong. I can’t stress this enough. If you insist on competing then use the “don’t go out of business” tactic. This tactic has a 99% effectiveness rating.
Wow - this guy is my new role model.
I'm not so much into chemistry, but shouldn't the number of production-viable cannabinoids with psychotropic effects be quite limited? Can the producers just run out of possible drugs? Or is that limit too high?

On the other hand, I don't think that this finding will change drug policy. Too much has been invested in the war on drugs, there is not going to be a 180° turn anytime soon. Especially not when the upturn in designer drugs does not come with an increased mortality...
> Is it going to be illegal (once again)?

It wasn't really clear in your comment so I figured it would be good to chime in and mention that the movie wasn't actually banned by any government but rather Kubrick had it pulled:

"Kubrick asked Warner Brothers to withdraw the film from British distribution, disliking the allegation that the film was responsible for copycat violence in real life"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Clockwork_Orange_(film)#Briti...

Technically it was illegal to distribute the movie in Britain for 27 years, but it was purely a copyright / distribution rights issue. You may have known that but it's such a huge myth that it was actually banned for content that I wanted to fill in some gaps.
Designer drugs show why a proper system of regulation is needed to replace the irresponsible "war" on drugs.

But it's dangerous to think that the law cannot attempt to make whole classes of chemicals illegal and so we don't need to worry about the war on drugs any more. The law can do that, and cause even more massive damage when it does so. Designer drugs are also likely to kill a whole lot of people, bolstering politicians who want to keep the status quo.

SIM cards don't know anything about the network they are running on, this all happens inside your terminal. They hold an IMSI (=contract #), a set of private keys, and some utility applets. SIM cards don't even know their own phone number.

As for running a known-secure firmware: in the end a SIM card only authenticate you against a Mobile Operator with a pre-shared key. If you believe your SIM is running a non-secure firmware, how can you trust your Mobile Network Operator not to do fancy stuff on their network behind your back?
I'd like to see said studies compare the damage done by exposure to porn to the damage done by exposure to sex-shaming religions. Such as the official state religion of the UK, Christianity.

If porn has to be banned because it damages kids, why does religion get a free pass?

Not rape, but sexual assault. It becomes consensual, but it doesn't really start that way.
Getting Traction for your Open Source Project
The harm is in convincing people that this is normal or reasonable. It's extremely easy online to find an echo chamber where virtually every post will agree with you. These exist for mens rights groups, anorexics, conspiracy theorists, practically every topic.

Rape porn is one of those areas where the lines between reality and fiction are blurred. It's highly unlikely someone accessing rape porn is doing it because they are aroused by the idea of simulated rape. By providing or permitting a similar echo chamber it is much easier for people to convince themselves their actions are perfectly acceptable.

That is the danger of almost any media that depicts this sort of behaviour. It's not exclusive to the Internet, but it's the diversity and complete freedom on the Internet which permits these echo chambers to form.
Our Glorious Leader Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) is trying to keep us safe from consuming these drugs through the Protecting Our Youth from Dangerous Synthetic Drugs Act (http://www.feinstein.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/press-relea...). I'd say something about voting her out of office in 2016 (for this and for running intelligence committees which rubber-stamp NSA spying, among many other things), but she's already said she won't run again.
"Literary merit aside, 50 Shades of Grey was a massive hit, and also pornographic, meaning that lots and lots of people read it,"

Which is probably something that the UK government does not want happening again.

"and lots and lots of people are now "criminals"."

No they're not, unless they decide to share copies of the novel online. I must have really missed it if there was something about retroactively enforcing laws.

There are legit concerns here, but fsog isn't one.
I'm not sure I followed you on the last one. Why would a group posting go away if you flag it as a job?

Also, would you mind if I add these to the post? If not, is there a link I can provide to credit you? The first one has bugged me a lot. I just forgot about it. It's insulting to get emails from LinkedIn telling me they found me a job. I don't want one. It's like your mother or best friend telling you she found a really nice man for you to meet ...
How much of this is the old political trick of creating a law that is overly broad and nuanced only to come back and refine it to something slightly more specific later? Perhaps the plan all along has been to create something that will cause outrage so that people don't complain when the next version comes around that's only slightly better, but still worse off than before.
There is no step 2 either, since they made no such claim. It's an inevitability that it will be used for nefarious purposes, so we can also expect Tor to receive quite a bit of attention since VPN services have lately been on the receiving end of unpleasant attention.
I also think it's a bit weird to flip direction of composition, but there are a couple of advantages --

1. It keeps the "imperative" feel, so that you can write

person.address.zipCode

rather than

zipCode.address.person

2. There's an argument that mathematical functions are "back to front" and that it would be more natural to write functions left to right, i.e. (x)f rather than f(x), so that the function composition f.g is "apply f then apply g" rather than "apply g then apply f" which is where we are at the moment.
I am also not happy with the contrast of the text vs code. Rather than waiting more and more, I just released. MVP :)))

Index is a really good idea, I'm thinking to implement something like a floating left menu.. what do you think ?

Thanks for the advice, I appreciate a lot!
