The guy says

> I have over 100.000+ users details and Apple is informed
about this. I didn't attempt to get the datas first and
report then, instead I have reported first.

Hmm. He states he has the personal data of 100,000+ users. He then proceeds says he obtained this data after he reported to Apple. So why did he download the (presumably secret) user details of 100,000+ users?

Smells like an illegal black hat computer intrusion to me.
while they claim that such data is used for "fighting terrorism", i really doubt that's actually the case - its more data retention, and availability when required for intelligence operations against targets that benefit the administration. So such polluting wouldn't really help imho.
How many architectures are officially supported by Go?
> Who is intentionally exploring it?

The person you assigned the identifier "someone whose passion for free speech led them to wildly jump to unfounded conclusions" which is far too long of an identifier, if you ask me, but that's not really the point either.

> What makes you think this?

The fact that I read the article makes me think that the person who wrote the article is exploring said concept.

> 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?

Can you provide the quoted text from the article we are discussing which makes this exact claim? I never said it did, I said it was exploring the possibility, and to back that up I included relevant passages and information.

Furthermore, I made the point, which you ignored, that whether or not books are included, there is currently media that is being consumed and possessed by people in the UK which will certainly be considered illegal very soon. Can you tell me your stance on how good or bad that is?
Indeed. How about just making sure that the drugs people take are safe, of a high quality and available without feeding a criminal underbelly? Nah, that'd just be silly.
Cameron was looking good until recently with his crackdown (however slight) on our disgraceful benefit system. And now he looks to censor the population under the guise of protecting children (teaching them how to protect themselves is probably a better option). This country is rapidly going downhill as our freedoms are slowly reduced.

That said, an opt-in porn filter for parents is always going to be a good/useful thing. But we all know any determined individual (and I'd suspect many young-ish people) will bypass these blockades in no time at all, just as we have with Kickass/TPB.
I don't understand how this could possibly be an invasion of privacy. By that logic my locked door is an invasion of your privacy.
Interestingly, I hope we'll be able to see the actual numbers via a Freedom of Information Act request.
Wow, what a nanny state.
They define terrorist pretty loosely anyway, so it'd be hard for all "terrorists" to be totally unaffected by the leaks, thus making their statement "true" or, rather, least untrue.
Since PCs are falling out of favor, you can bet that all locked-down non-PC devices will be gradually implementing "lawful and compliant" restrictions on user activity, and hefty surveillance "just in case."

Android devices will be no exception, and families/businesses will be encouraged to install "lawful and compliant" software on all new computers. Any vendors looking to get a foothold in the UK will be jumping on this bandwagon, and I wouldn't be surprised if Canonical tries to get in on the action too.

> It's an inevitability that it will be used for nefarious purposes

Is it? There's a system in place already for child porn images and while they've made some mistakes, they have yet to block anything political as far as I am aware.

Can you prove this is inevitable?
I have never worked on a large Web app that required an unmanageably large JavaScript code base. They were simply built with one due to 1. too much structural code, 2. cramming too much in one page, or 3. cramming too much in one site. All of these are mistakes of poor design and architecture and using require.js won't solve that problem.

My current project uses require and after several months of working with the legacy code, I have not been convinced that it has improved maintainability. I would not use it again if given the choice.
It is now possible to statically compile+link C libraries into your Go binary. The sqlite3 package (http://godoc.org/code.google.com/p/go-sqlite/go1/sqlite3) is a good example of this.
I was aware of it, having spent far too much time discussing this and other movies and the rights related to them.

I think this is a great point, though, and I can only excuse myself for lack of sleep for not at least mentioning it. Thanks for adding it!

Back to my point, which stems from the allegations, and the fact that now the movie has been legal again for some time and yet we are not overrun with copycats, though it continues to be a popular movie.
Unexpected health issues? That's a little more tricky.
None of that addresses the complaints raised in the article.
Getting things done in a timely manner and under budget is an even bigger part of it. Having to learn "new" things (this is distinct from "different" things and "better" things) leaves significantly less time to achieve productivity.

In terms of developer time, 2 days is rather expensive.

If this is your own pet project, then by all means spend the time necessary to learn it. Or if you intend to "Move Fast and Break Things", then spending time to learn things is also good. But if you're running a business with "x" which has worked efficiently for years and isn't broken, "y" is not necessary.
I'd have thought you could just statically link with the C and C++ libraries, creating a static binary?

Rather that than some utter disgrace like Peter Mandelson standing for UK President.
In my company I started to issue smart cards instead of simple magnetic cards, because the tech is so hard to implement I started to question if this was a mild case of security through obscurity. I really hope this isn't the case, many banks store passwords in those cards, including us. This password cannot be easily transported back to our servers.

Anyway, there is something missing, as a security measure SIM cards should burn out if you keep calling it.
Visual C++ Team Blog: C99 library support in Visual Studio 2013
A realistic fact based estimate is around one hundred, around 1 or 2 orders of magnitude lower.

http://www-nrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/Pubs/811753.pdf

Around page 6, a little under 10K fatalities in 2011 somehow involved speeding. (about 1/3)

Around page 7, 87% of fatalities involving speeding were not on interstate highways. So about 10% of about 10K is about 1K people died from driving "too fast" on the highway.

Around page 7, around half of drivers who killed someone while speeding were drunk. so about 500 people were killed by sober drivers who were going over the current speed limit. Drunks are going to kill someone anyway, no matter what the law is. You can consider this a fixed constant death rate regardless of speed laws.

In other words, if you raised the speed limit such that no one ever got cited for speeding during a fatal crash, aka we go total full motion autobahn, about 500 people would die legally instead of illegally.

Of course a lot of this involves police high speed chases, driving too fast for conditions, suicide by car, road rage, mental illness, stuff like that. I feel confident that out of a total sample of about 500, a realistic change in speed limit up to perhaps 75 would probably kill at most 100 people. I think this is a overestimate, but feel confident it would not actually turn out to be 10x higher.

This analysis pays no attention to the death toll from increased car exhaust fumes due to reduced mileage, or increased soldier death rates in the middle east due to needing to burn more oil, or any of the other secondary effects, which may very well be greater than the primary death toll, I really can't estimate those very well. For example, if you raised the death toll in Iraq by 20% on both sides to get 20% more oil, that would swamp the relatively minor increase in death toll on the interstates back home.

This helps you identify political axes to grind... someone claiming "10" or "zero" is obviously distorting reality in one direction, and "100s" is obviously equally distorted in the other.

Frankly I wouldn't be concerned. The odds of death by lightning are about 1 or 2 orders of magnitude higher. The odds of death by poor diet are around 5 orders higher. Death by poor exercise habits, probably the same around 5 orders higher. Higher highway speeds are not a very serious threat in the big picture of risks. I'd worry a lot more about "not talking a walk after dinner" or "drinking too much corn syrup"
It's amusing (and sad) that while the NSA monitors all emails and every single phone calls of all Americans, but still fails to detect and prevent a computer intrusion of this magnitude into Americas largest company.
I honestly have no problems wit this as long as the default is unfiltered, and any blocks and filters are opt in

But we already have that in the form of installable software that blocks online smut. It baffles me that the government thinks they have a place to get involved here.
"The biggest asset any businessman can have is a hungry crowd."

A rare example of an adage which still works when applied literally.
I wish I could read the article though. Can't get past the paywall.
> Cowardly. No sense tiptoeing around it.

Couldn't agree more. Far too many chickenhawks.

Paradoxically, I think it's because we are so comparitively safe. The slightest threat to that safety (real or otherwise) bursts the bubble, and is a shock to our veil of normalcy, as opposed to the "shit happens" outlook in parts of the world where danger is more frequent. (I wonder if those who live in the worst inner cities, surrounded by gang warfare, waste any time worrying about terrorism?)

But in fairness, those flames have been pro-actively fanned for decades by government and business alike. It's near-impossible to realize how pervasive the propaganda machine is here unless you go out of your way to detach yourself from it.

You and I may have different views of what "anywhere near as good" means, so it's hard for me to accept your judgement at face value.
> I like my internet uncapped and unthrottled.

Which, for an ISP aiming at a market segment of people like you/us, is a fine way to lose all your lucrative business contracts because it's almost impossible to predict capacity & maintain your quoted contention rates under those conditions. Certainly few home users can afford/justify a totally unmetered uncontended connection at the sorts of speeds[1] we're used to seeing on ISP adverts. The credits/carry over monthly unused capacity[2] is a reasonable middle ground I suppose, although ideally it'd be finer granularity, but then again, would mess with capacity planning, and maybe expose users to serious overage charges without realising.

Whilst it doesn't directly affect your main point, it looks like they only count downstream data, so backups (in the general, non-restore case) wouldn't affect it much.

[Not a customer, although I'd be tempted to if I could afford it (I just checked, and probably can't)]

[1] Maximum speed may be less than quoted depending on your location. Fair Use Policies (We cap/throttle/terminate your account anyway, we just don't tell you about it up-front), Terms of Service (often including not running internet visible servers, and certainly not 25/tcp or maybe 80/tcp even then).

[2] Albeit with "within reason" weasel-words
> 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.

This is true as you say for a wide of variety of topics, but criminalizing those kinds of echo chambers is absolutely useless. Giving a person or agency the ability to criminalize those echo chambers in general creates a method of censorship backed by the law for any group of people.

> 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.

This flies in the face of all statistical evidence we have. Violent crime rates are generally lowering even as violent media, including rape porn, is more accessible.

> 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.

I don't disagree. The media we watch and consume affects us as a society, but banning media because of the fact that it does so isn't a solution. Stopping rape won't happen just because you banned legal depictions of it.
I will eventually blog in detail about this, coming from doing AI work and having a child I think it puts a new perspective into the subject that you would not be able to really understand until you go through the phases of that part of life. You also need the convergence of alot of smaller parts, computation, neuroscience, physics, and some psychology to reach these points. I still think the robotics part is only nearly 25% of the entire puzzle, but what some the pioneers in the field are starting to realize and have the ability to do in the next 10 years will be pretty amazing.

Not only that but to have a politician lecture others on morality and duty. Such a hypocrit.
Look at the OpenPGP card. You can get a smartcard reader with a PIN-entry pad for like $50, and boom, you have a secure certificate store with GPG.

GPG isn't pretty, and support lags with OS X releases but you can do alot with it.

I've been using this methodology for securing cloud backups for several years. Using tools like Duplicity, you can safely encrypt data on potentially untrusted devices or networks using a public key, and keep the private key safely stored somewhere on the smartcard.

The downsides to these sorts of approaches is that encrypting data is easy, key management for decrypting it is a pain.
Normal weather you can plan for, but there are outlier events that can still wipe you out that's basically impossible to predict or prepare for.

Sandy in NYC flooded a great deal of infrastructure and left buildings without power or communications for a long time. Large parts of downtown were completely depopulated for weeks on end - that sort of event takes out independent business owners, and you can't effectively plan for it.

For the most part food vending isn't so profitable that you can build up a thick cushion for longer-term outages.
Nice fearmongering:

"The reason we use secrecy is not to hide it from the american people, not to hide it from you, but to hide it from those who walk among you who are trying to kill you."

... well in that case, please take my rights and the rights of my neighbors if it gives me a little temporary security.
For the iOS gmail app you can choose to be notified for all new mail or "primary" only. I'm not sure about using a built-in client like the Mail app though.
The whole point of the law is to criminalize the material, so a distinction between who made it or where they view it is not relevant.
Stunning.

I'd love to be able to say that we'd never see this in the U.S., but there are certain former presidential candidates (mostly Republican) who I can easily imagine trying to implement something similar.
Whoops!

This does beg a question... Does science deserve a higher standard of opacity for publicly funded research than our government overall? My sense is "let the process work to separate the signal from the noise" but I'd like to hear what others say.

I can't feel too bad for Apple. They use WW/Struts but when was the last time they contributed to the project? They never have. Open source volunteers do their best but unless big corporations want to spend their own money, and do their own security assessments, and contribute back anything they find, what do you expect? It's great when you get things for free, but when you're sitting on billions, send some back to the community you're using code from.
It's the Big Lie phenomenon at work. Someone revealing a specific embarassing private email between two law-abiding citizens? That would be a story. But reading and processing every email is just too big to contemplate, and to those who don't know how databases work, I'm sure that it seems impossible. Surely no one could or would do that, right?

I'll tell you what, though: young people are absolutely paying attention.
I don't think the parties have changed much. The same moralist convictions that caused Republicans to be anti-slavery in the past are the same ones that make them anti-abortion today, for example.
How old are you? I'm 29, and also recall that when I was in my teenage years we all saw various bits of pornography- magazines, a few extremely slow loading web pages, but nothing like what is available today.

As nemof described, a lot of porn today is much more extreme than that, and could give teenagers a very skewed sense of "normal" sex. I'm not advocating filtering internet content, but I think it's at least worth discussing what effect this might be having on teenagers today, and not just dismissing it with "my [entirely different] situation was fine".
This also makes go applications trivial to deploy. What used to be a massive amount of plumbing and bootstrapping for a ruby environment with multiple app server instances behind a reverse proxy with all the associated configuration and dependencies can now be little more than pushing a binary to a (nearly) stock machine instance. It really simplifies ops.
No form of literature should ever be made illegal. Holocaust denial, Creationism, Scientology, etc. No matter how absurd or factually incorrect it is, should never be censored in any way or form. Absolute freedom of press without limitation. Incitement to hatred, racism, etc. The usual arguments against this come from people who are offended. People who argue that they are offended do so under the assumption that they have a right not to be offended. This is a false assumption.
Because the "metal must be moved" number is way too low.

Imagine that your boss set metrics for you that you could knock out in 30 minutes, but the boss is paying you to be there for a full 8 hours. And imagine that if you worked harder than that, your reward was actually less pay. Also imagine no room for advancement. Someone from outside your company might say that situation is effed up. But to you working for just those 30 minutes and nothing more would be completely logical.

That's the situation facing these metal warehouses. Being efficient and shipping metal faster than absolutely required gets them no short term benefits and does them short term harm: reduced rents.

The problem isn't necessarily the "metal must be moved" rule it's the quantity in the "metal must be moved" rule. So some people say "fix the rule" and others say "abolish the rule" because of substantially different world views. Some people like maintaining and fixing code; others like organizing differently to reduce the amount of code necessary.
This will surely be unpopular here but...

So enthusiastic consent doesn't work for you?

I'd agree the initial contact could be considered sexual assault, if it resulted in her feeling that way. Instead she enjoyed it and wanted it to continue, and continue they did. He wanted to stop because he felt like he was crossing a line and she wanted to keep going. That's about as enthusiastic as it can get without being explicit.
Because it's kinda pointless. The thing that makes Ruby (very) slow isn't the runtime (there might be at most a 1.5x - 2x speedup there), it's the language design. All that dynamism and runtime reflection is really a performance killer.
The MVP is meant to be a wet thumb in the air: is the wind really blowing north, the way we think it might be?
To answer your question, the limit is just too high.

There is actually quite a lot of "flexibility" in terms of chemical structure for most drugs. You can replace a methyl with an ethyl, propyl, i-propyl and the activity is usually comparable. Aromatic rings can be replaced with other variants. There are probably several thousand different structures that would acceptable psychotropic effects, if not tens of thousands.

>> I'm not so much into chemistry, but shouldn't the number of production-viable cannabinoids with psychotropic effects be quite limited?

I've been following this lately but not from the beginning. AFAICT the number of cannabinoids that were created in labs, tested in-vitro and documented in research papers is in the hundreds. Most/all of these are now illegal in places like the UK where they ban chemicals, and may already be illegal in the US due to analog laws.

In response to this the cannabinoid producers have now gone totally off the map and are creating previously unknown variants of these. It's hard to say if these are more dangerous than previously studied chemicals because we've been in the realm of "somebody once made this and looked at what it did to some animal neurons" for a couple of years now.

>> Can the producers just run out of possible drugs? Or is that limit too high?

It's really, really hard to know. But there always seems to be a new one on the horizon.
