Well, this is a bad move because it is stupid. It could not potentially result in any change. Only way a rational person can help Russian people is to work on improving educational system to help them emigrate and settle in developed countries successfully.

Also, in Russian mentality, it is not important if you committed any crime or not, it is more important if you were smart enough to not get jailed or not. Because nearly everyone who is politically or economically active commits crimes (which carries no stigma and is part of the system), and nearly everyone can be jailed either having committed a crime or not. So nobody thinks of degree or existence of any crimes he might have committed. This is not a part of the question. It is about being stupid enough to raise too much government's anger, not not leaving country in time.

That's how Russia works (and Mr. Putin has nothing to do about this, that was the norm long before him and once the system might eat himself in exactly the same way). I doubt he even benefits from this much.
THIS. I mostly go to RT for actual news these days. The American media is propaganda and it's killing our country with DELIBERATE misinformation.
In this case that seems pretty fair. Although if it's only 25% and it's such a great project I wonder could our bounteous financial sector not cover it?

America in fact had a very modest military before the WW2 build-up, as others have noted.

Before it could afford that military might, it required a substantial economy to pay for it all.

Land, natural resources, enterprising & hard working immigrants, low regulation, the protections enshrined in the Constitution, ease of starting a business, labor mobility, strong judicial system, checks & balances restraining and slowing down government abuses - just a few of the actual reasons America became what it did.
ITT: wah, wah, StackOverflow doesn't work the way I want it to. I'm right and the mods are wrong.

If you don't like StackOverflow, go somewhere else. SO is successful because it has rules and boundaries. "Everything goes" just does not work well in online communities.
I'm counting my phone (4.25" diag) as a small tablet. I don't have a bigger one myself, but I see them, especially at parties, in the hands of children. Their ubiquity is growing.

I can see room for more devices, fitness bands, etc., but as sensors rather than media. I'm just not seeing them beat the form of the book, magazine, tablet.

I mean wrist-watches kind of overloaded their interface after time, date, and dive depth. It was technically possible to put a microfilm reader in a wrist watch, but a paper copy of National Geographic was just so much nicer.

I'd be willing to try a heads-up travel guide, but a cheap and light one in my pocket might be all I need.

"Most early-stage startup founders do a bad job of getting the company to focus on just two or three critical priorities—they chase whatever shiny new object appears that day."

This is true of everywhere. Companies like to call themselves agile and flexible, but when it's just the boss changing focus every few days, nothing gets done. This also highlights the importance of saying "No" to a lot of interesting and useful things.
That just means you can't post new answers to that particular question. You can still post new questions about security with sessions in PHP. There are over 1600 others there as evidence. QED.
I remember seeing a Dateline episode where they went around showing all the huge holes in airport security. One of them was were you could go to the top of a parking ramp which overlooked the tarmac. The "consultant" said it would be easy for any terrorist to lob grenades or launch an RPG at one or several planes parked on the tarmac.

My point here is most of these holes existed pre-9/11, but now trying to close these loopholes isn't so easy. I mean, how do you move an entire parking ramp? While I think the searching of vehicles is sketchy, I believe a lot of these places are doing their best to mitigate threats and close some of these huge security holes.
No court ever reviewed the government’s claims nor was any evidence of criminal wrongdoing ever presented to a court.

The Yemeni government began trying him in absentia in November 2010, for plotting to kill foreigners and being a member of al-Qaeda. A Yemeni judge ordered that he be captured "dead or alive.

While VMs like Sun's may be using techniques like escape analysis, I seriously doubt that Dalvik does (it seems like dx might, but that's going to be of limited value at compile time, and it isn't clear how it uses the information): a lot of people these days coding in Java are doing so for Android, where the garbage collector is a serious problem, sufficiently so that all garbage collections are logged to the system log (so as a developer you don't even need to go to much work to profile it as an issue: you just see the pain in your console and then likely seem out this article).
Please, NO SPOILERS! A lot of people haven't seen it yet :)
I think, as a general principle, this is dead wrong. One could think an injustice so egregious that righting it needs to be pursued both within and outside the system, for instance.

Very cool idea, trying it out right now. I have one caveat though...I get that there's a distinction of "public" and "private", with the latter being reserved for free accounts. But I don't know what "public" actually means...I'm assuming that at minimum, it means that anyone who guesses a URL of my workspace can join in on the fun. But how do other users discover new workspaces? Is there an "Explore" endpoint similar to Github's, where people can just see what others are doing in public?
The UI in the NCC-1701-D is basically thousands upon thousands of mounted iPads with a really, really advanced version Siri installed.

> The crux of the debate is how much an "american citizen" can claim the protection of that citizenship while waging war against the U.S. and evading attempts to bring him to justice for a decade.

This applies to Anwar Al-Awlaki himself, and even then the constitutionality of the killing seems highly suspect to me. But his son (the author's granson), Abdulrahman Al-Awlaki, was also killed by a drone strike in Yemen. Nobody has publicly stated a justification for Abdulrahman's death. He was simply an American citizen traveling in the country his family came from, as far as we know.
He has another term left.
> we lost the desire to be helpful and ended up with the desire to be "correct".

But that's the whole point of StackOverflow. Right on the about page is their mission statement:

Ask questions, get answers, no distractions

This site is all about getting answers.
It's not a discussion forum.
There's no chit-chat.

And while yes, it may be interesting for you to know what the "latest and greatest" of the Javascript frameworks is, that's really not the point of the site.

Why? Because the answer is inherently subjective. It's open to interpretation and flame wars. In a year, it will also be obsolete.

Compare that to a trivial question, like:
How do you create a while loop in C++03?

Which is incredibly basic, yet will always have 1 correct answer that will then be added to SO's vast knowledge base.

There's also the great side effect of StackOverflow then becoming a place for real-world problems for actual practicing programmers rather than a debate forum. The "best Javascript framework" might sound like a great topic for you, but it's also indicative that you haven't actually started any work on a project, compared to, say a person trying to figure out how to do two-way binding in Knockout.js. I'd much rather have a site full of real-world issues that are getting solved than a site dedicated to theory-based bickering.

> You can sleep outside on the ground in a big group any time you want. Most cities have hundreds of people who do that every day. I think any one of them would gladly trade it for an air conditioned room with a bed.

Most parks I know have rules against entering past dusk, enforced with ticketing. In NYC there are closed gates which would physically prevent you from entering many parks.
That's not at all what the author of the blog has written previously.

The FDA began to ramp up GMP rules and regulations under the new commissioner in 2010 and 2011 (see figure at left (N.B. this includes all warning letters not just GMP so it is just illustrative, AT added). In fact, the report indicates that FDA threats shut down some 30% of the manufacturing capacity at the big producers of generic injectables. The safety of these lines was not a large problem and could have been handled with a targeted approach but instead the FDA launched a sweep against all the major manufacturers at the same time. These problem have been exacerbated by a change in Medicare reimbursement rules and by the rise of GPOs (buying groups) which reduced the prices of generics. Thus, in response to the cut in capacity, firms have shifted production from less profitable generics to more profitable branded drugs, so we get shortages of generics rather than of branded drugs. - See more at: http://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2012/06/dru...
You should have a broad range, so you can fix css issues, javascript frontend issues as well as build a new feature that integrates with a database.

As shown above, but basically you can code a web app from start to finish (e.g. backend code/framework like ruby on rails, frontend like css/html/etc and integrate some time of database (e.g. MySQL or Mongo).
Drones will get cheaper to manufacture and then America will have a problem again. As they had with the nuclear arms race.

They could send drones to a foreign country but that would just make that country send their drones to America.

Until that happens America has got the upper hand but boy will any one appreciate the irony when Americans get killed by foreign drones.

Don't make everybody out to look like a terrorist and expect them to not get pissed off and become what you made them look like.

Hell this guy might not have been a terrorist before but now that he lost his entire family terrorism might not sound that bad.

I'm waiting for the day they mess with the wrong family.

Yes, I did read the whole thing. He asked, tell me what library to use. That was the whole question. It was very much a 'do my research for me' question.

"I want to do this. Tell me what library to use."

"What is better ..." questions are closed on SO for the same reason.
> FISA made legal foreign intelligence surveillance on US soil

No, it didn't.

Warrantless foreign intelligence surveillance was already legal on US soil; at least, that was the conclusion of the two federal appeals courts which ruled on the issue. And, were it an issue where the Fourth Amendment required a warrant, it would take a Constitutional amendment, not a statute, to change it.

> Some people would argue the US Constitution's fourth amendment applies to all men and women, even those that are the subject of foreign intelligence surveillance.

Some people did argue that in the US federal courts before FISA, and they lost, at least insofar as those courts found that however the Fourth Amendment might apply to them, it didn't require warrants for that kind of surveillance. (Note that the Fourth Amendment doesn't require warrants for all searches and seizures, it requires them to be reasonable, and sets a standard for warrants when they are issued; it has been held by the courts that warrants are generally required for reasonableness, but that there are a wide array of circumstances for which reasonableness does not include a warrant requirement.)
Also there are automated credit card update services, so if you get a card reissued then vendors can get their card on record updated.

Hey, this is pretty interesting. One feature request: Do you think you could add Mozilla Persona for authentication? I don't like yet another u/p, and that Github permissions screen left me a bit uneasy (although I didn't see anything untoward).
> "The American citizenry tends to be OK with this kind of thing as long as it happens far away from us."

The LAPD destroyed a home and burned a suspect alive, while having no good reason to suspect he was even alone. And not only was there very little outrage, but many were actually cheering this on.

And this, after the LAPD had multiply-revealed their snap-judgment to be dangerously-poor and restraint to be non-existent, having opened fire on innocent citizens in two separate instances, unprovoked, despite none of the citizens nor vehicles remotely matching the suspects description.

Do you really expect the reaction to have been much different, if that cabin was destroyed by hellfire missile, rather than the reckless-to-intentional over-application of tear-gas?

The citizenry is, to an appalling degree, OK with this sort of thing so long as the government can convince them that only "very bad people" are being targeted. (cf Ruby Ridge, Waco)

Sadly, I don't see them having too much additional trouble doing that, should they start using armed drones instead of SWAT teams.

Well that's just opinion. The text editor seems pretty important to me. Syntax coloring? Makefile?

My experience on friends of friends is it's a 2 way validation - it validate the hire, and it validates the firm. In lieu of this, headhunters expensively fill the function. I've found employee referral programs to be highly efficient as a result. The downside is you can close yourself off to entire schools of thought.
From what I gather the general workflow is similar, but there were apparently specific customizations needed to deal with the fact that Tesla body panels aren't magnetic; apparently most car assembly lines use magnetic arms to move panels from one part of the line to another, because most car bodies are made of steel. I think Tesla uses a mix of suction and clamps instead, depending on the part.
when I can write the software for the tablet on it, and get one with a beefy processor (which only fires up to max when on AC power), I might think about it. Right now, I need an ultrabook to do that.

For extra context, the company that poached a developer was Google:

And it was a "whim" and his idea was to write a journal (which presumably gets page views) and so he gets one, and now he's publicly returning it, and getting lots of page views and his money back. All in all, the cynic in me thinks things are going as planned. He is effectively out no money, and yet he's picked up a bunch of traffic. Internet win.
I wrote out something long and convoluted for this but I'll simplify it: Either wiping the 16 year old off the face of the earth without due process was justified or it wasn't.

Justification could be (for the sake of argument): serious threat to national security / several lives at stake / not feasible to apprehend physically (jurisdiction, unfriendly government etc etc.)

If upon scrutiny the reasoning behind his demise were not justified:

proper adjustments must be made and compensation and punishment doled out.

While $20/month for health care is ludicrous, the writer's $215 claim is also at the high end for individual coverage. Most privately carried health care plans easily available to individuals cost between $70 and $140 dollars for one person. The bigger issue is that copays and deductibles will quickly escalate to the point of no being affordable should anything significant actually go wrong - private insurance at the moment (probably until Obamacare kicks in) is really only an effective coverage if you can afford to pay thousands of dollars a year worst case scenario.

Anyway, the main point of the bit still stands. Just the difference between premiums and what it would cost to actually get care was a little off.

I'm with you. I thank every recruiter who calls, and actively look for 1 or 2 leads that may help them.

Yes, there are awful recruiters out there, but there are plenty of good ones just working hard for a living. What goes around comes around, and helping them will increase the chance of getting that incoming call when you need it most.

The last point is when I need to sell something, I'd much rather hear, "Thanks, I'm not interested, but X or Y may be" than get hung up on, or disrespected.

I'm singling out conservatives because they're hypocrites.

Liberals don't trust police/military, and are ok with the welfare state. They're generally pretty consistent on this, Obama's signed off on this program, but it's been opposed by many more liberals than conservatives.

Conservatives are the opposite, as evidenced by the reaction to this. When you combine their rhetoric about "Obama's Tyranny" when it comes to marginal tax rates or healthcare reform with their complete silence about things that are actually threatening, it's pathetic.

You're even doing it yourself. 'Bloating the spectrum of government power' is obfuscatory BS. Social workers and teachers don't carry guns or listen to phone calls, yet you're trying to conflate them with the security state.
