Yea, we are smaller parts of a larger whole, but the nature of our interaction is completely different. We have replaced relationships with contracts, traditions with EULAs. And while individuals used to be relatively self-reliant in normal conditions, they had the backing of the community. There's no modern equivalent of barn-raising. This is the real problem: modern institutions don't give individuals any stability, but still demand compliance, if not loyalty.

It is me, or is Haswell taking a very long time to become available everywhere? The Haswell Mac Air came out 3 months ago, (June 10th), but you still can't get it in a MBP or a Thinkpad, and can only now get it in an iMac.
It may not be news, but it's a nice reminder of how much the purchasing power of the middle class has fallen. He was unable to both support his own retirement and support his children (i.e., pay for their college, help with initial house downpayments, etc.). Granted, times are a lot tougher for him since his wife died, but that really only strengthens the point: the middle class is becoming more and more reliant on dual incomes. That is a terrible eventuality, as it makes divorce or separation even more devastating to families and their children.

I suspect many posters are thinking, "well, he shouldn't have tried to help his kids so much." And that is also exactly part of the point: he shouldn't have to choose between his own retirement and his kids.
I thought I read that it shows up for a google app account that is also the domain administrator. But I'm not sure if this is true or not. I wouldn't say this is a "fix" as much as it's a work around for showing that other favicon.
The problem with that is that there's also this thing called "adolescence" where children have to actually learn how to be adults, and like almost everything else in life, the way you become good at being an adult is to be bad at being an adult and not letting that stop you.

Don't worry too much about kids taking over the country -- voter participation by people younger than 40 is so low that you could drop the voting age to zero and it wouldn't affect the results that much.

> old people are disproportionately overrepresented

How? For each one "old person", there is "one vote". That is the same proportional representation that every other adult gets.

> Another way would be to allow 16+ to vote and ensure that they are taken from school to the voting booth

How very democratic of you. These youngsters are old enough to decide what to vote, but not old enough if they care enough to actually vote?

> How do we solve that specific problem?

The specific problem being that the democratic process gets a result you don't agree with, and so your suggested solution is to change the democratic system to one more likely to return a result you agree with? Your strong commitment to democratic principles is showing.

The one part that's really tricky is color. I actually liked the colored version a bit better, even though it provided no extra information content.

MBTI is a commercial product based on old theories. It sells well because the results are usually presented as only positive and desirable traits (the archetypes).
For a more accurate representation of personality types, the Big Five has more or less the consensus nowadays. (it's more "scientific", as far as psychology can be "science")

Both are somehow correlated, but a well known failure of the MTBI model is the lack of distinction between introversion and neuroticism.

D-Wave takes quantum leap in Burnaby
"Systems are optimized for their own survival and preventing the system from doing evil may well require breaking with organizational niceties, protocols or laws. It requires stepping outside of one’s assigned organizational role. The chief executive is not in a better position to recognize systemic evil than is a middle level manager or, for that matter, an IT contractor. Recognizing systemic evil does not require rank or intelligence, just honesty of vision."

It is natural for ALL systems, whether a political organization, company, terrorist organization, and even biological entities, to fight change and keep the system in tact. We are now at a point where we can critically assess our social organizations from a humanistic perspective and ask if they are really adding value or not.

I know this is not a position people over here like to support, but..

But this technique, known as "scraping," is surprisingly common among
technologically sophisticated users and has a number of legitimate
applications.

To get a list of sex offenders, Poulsen wrote an automated program to search the
Department of Justice Web site for each zip code
in the United States and then save the name and
address of each registered sex offender in that
zip code to a file.

Really? Really? That's a 'legitimate application'? Nevermind that the pure existence of that registry is a slap in the face for people with my understanding of Freedom and Liberty (in caps), scraping _that list_ is why we want to protect scraping? I haven't felt that disconnected to content on this site for a long time.

Yet most people would agree that Poulsen's actions
were a legitimate journalistic project. So we might
want to be careful about subjecting this kind of
technique to criminal penalties.

Most people?? In what world?

I'm sorry for the detour, but the whole article is trying to defend weev while linking to atrocious actions of that guy in the past and coming up with the most despicable (Thanks Hollywood, learned a new term) reason for scraping _ever_. Disgusting.
It's nice to see discussion in mainstream media applying Arendt to the policies and practices of the United States. I've been talking about this for some time now.

Spreading awareness of how institutional behavior can lead to evil actions is extremely important. We have learned a lot about power, evil, oppression, etc since the structure of the modern democratic state was created. We can and need to do much better.
It was called the magna carta.
I don't want to get into linguistics wankery about when a definition counts, but I really don't think it's as absolute as you're portraying it. Certainly not if have to point me to wikipedia to refute the way it is often used in by people who don't know nor care about the canned/audience distinction.

On top of that, you seem to be banking on the idea I won't actually click your link, from the first paragraph:

In some productions the laughter is a live audience response;
in the U.S., the term usually implies artificial laughter (canned
laughter or fake laughter) made to be inserted into the show.

That's an awful lot of ambiguity for such a "black-is-white abuse of the term"
A better way to say it is that math is a formal system - It is a set of symbols and rules for transforming those symbols. It is often mistakenly believed that it is the one and only universal system. But not long ago we used Roman numerals and did not even have calculus. (How Archimedes did his work I can't imagine.) What we consider modern formal mathematics is only one possible system and there is no reason to think that a completely different one would not do the same job just as well.

You use the terms "verification" and validity." These terms are used in symbolic systems to describe formulas that are well-formed (follow all the rules of their formal system) or equivalent to another formula (derivation) or a legitimate combination of multiple formulas (proofs.) Unfortunately, no matter how much you "prove" a pure mathematical theorem, it will never mean a darn thing about our observable universe. That is a job only science can do.

> I'm still not wrong. :)

Yes, you are.

> So essentially - unless you want to start building packages and maintaining repos - pkgng is at this moment _useless_.

Well since that is the point of pkgng I'm not sure what you're griping about. The effort of it? poudriere allows pretty trivial building and automated repo generation. Is it a little more effort than typing apt-get update? Yup. But you aren't at the whim of repo maintainers on getting new packages in(like most stale Linux distros), or with ideal compile time options, or trying to find a repo that has the packages you're seeking.

> [1] - providing many packages and updates like in the linux distros world, not just "set it and leave it" as they do with the current repos.

With pkgng, you control when the repo is updated and what is updated. It's negligible effort to do so since it's a product of the ports system. I'm not sure what distro you've been using that leaves you with such pie in the sky attitude but it isn't one I'm familiar with. The enterprise distro are all horribly out of date, the bleeding edge are inappropriate for production use, and the in-betweens give you problems from both ends.

As an aside, I went phone shopping recently. I had a old iPhone 3gs, which was unlocked and jailbroken. And it was getting a bit old. The home key was dying, but that's a fairly simple fix.

In the end, I wanted an Android. It's a much friendlier platform, and I can develop for it. But... which one? I knew I wanted a phablet-esque phone like a Note 2 (but not the $800 unlocked price... yeouch!). So, what was there? I wanted a high quality display, a good amount of ram, preferred a S-pen stylus.

I hopped on the Chinese sites to see which phones would work, and the prices associated. I narrowed down and finally ordered one from this seller:

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/new-arrival-in-may-6-Haipai-N...

I got it 7 days later, and it frankly kicks ass. It's one of the nicest Androids I've ever used. And I used probably 2000 of them at my previous cell phone recovery plant job. My only thing I didn't get was S-pen support. That was a bummer, but I think only the Samsung's support the S-Pen screen.

And it really is a monster size of a phone. The N7889 is sold as a Note 2 clone, but in reality nakes the Note 2 look small. It really matches the profile of a Galaxy Mega, with the exception that the flash is to the right of the camera. The real Mega's flash is below the camera.

So many 'wasted years' that resulted in a wonderful career and field of study. I emailed John a few times throughout the years. He was the most courteous and honest person I have ever met.

Google Analytics: Exclude Your IP Address
Many developers (most? I suppose there are more developers on Linux than OSX) would find that "configuration hassle" a feature.
Manipulative. For instance:

* The article's entire coverage of Manning revolves around a single incident involving the detention of 15 Iraqis. But that's not all Manning did, despite the wording of the article. Manning fell afoul of the law by haphazardly collecting and releasing to a stranger on the Internet far more documents than any person could possibly have reviewed, many of which had no public interest implications.

* The article cites the case of Jeremy Hammond, convicted for hacking and dumping Stratfor. Ludlow famously supports Hammond's actions. But Hammond didn't leak secrets he knew were in the public interest. He picked an organization whose politics he disagreed with, attacked them, and helped circulate the credit card numbers of its subscribers to the Internet. The clear message being sent by Hammond's inclusion in the article is that he is of a kind with Manning, Snowden, and Swartz. The only thing his case has in common with the others is that they they share some of the same political motivations.

* The article does the same thing with John Kiriakou, asserting as axiomatic the idea that Kiriakou was motivated by the public interest. But Kiriakou didn't become a "whistleblower" until that label became convenient to his defense, after it became apparent that his conversations with journalists, which related to a book he was selling, had outed an agent who had been in deep cover for over 20 years.

I'm left with a disquieting conclusions about the way proponents of Ludlow think: so long as the accused share your politics, it's more important for society to empathize with their motivations than with their decisions and actions. That's what people who blow up abortion clinics think.

I'm also a little worried about the phenomenon of generating public support for any mass leak by working with the media to promote those leaked documents that are most interesting/entertaining/important, while working to thwart any effort to evaluate the impact of the leak as a whole. Call it "Greenwaldism", which feeds a careful drip of calculated outrage and then harnesses it to attack anyone who points out any accompanying documents that might have caused harm by their disclosure.

Jack Welch - How I Hire
Your writing style is kind of grandiose and off-putting, and detracts from the point you are trying to make. And your point is also a bit historically melodramatic. The French and American revolutions were both much more socially disruptive than current events, as were the 1930s and the 1960s/70s. This is not close to the "the first time in human history" that social change on the order your are predicting has occurred.
From people who bought the airplanes...
It's very strange given how necessary air travel is. It still surprises me how need and margins are inversely related (luxury goods have high margins, commodities low), but it makes sense. It's the price. The price of travel is so high for most consumers that they're going to optimize on price at the sacrifice of everything else.

The cost of flying and operating an airline is so expensive that airlines also optimize on costs and prices.

Virgin stands out as trying to change, that, but otherwise for everything economy class it's a race to the bottom.

Looking at prices you'd think we value things we need lower than things we want.
This is why we have checks and balances between three branches of government -- to make sure no one branch gets too much leeway to get disconnected from what everyone else thinks is ok.

Similarly, people set up governments for societies but they also have a culture, and an idea of what is "beyond the pale". An insular culture can slowly become disconnected from the rest of the people, even in government which gets feedback through voting and other limited means. Thus, individuals possessing a "moral sense" who are hired to work in the government may in fact engage in whistleblowing. Governments recognize this and many offer limited protections to this activity. Of course, if they are too far gone in how much they disconnect from the people's preferences, then they might seek to screen heavily when hiring new people, to make sure they don't have this "liability". And thus make themselves even more insular.

At the end of the day, SECRECY is the source of many of the problems. Secret laws and secret courts like FISA which sometimes complain that they are being lied to by the executive branch -- but only during fortuitous court case does it even come to light. Or this: http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2011/10/the-secr... ... nothing changed in the last two years. I am a liberal and I really liked Obama, but I despise his administration's stance on secrecy, and foreign policy, because it sets a terrible precedent.
