WTF Nigerian Student Chibuihem Amalaha 'Science ProveS Gay Marriage Is Wrong'
Wow, I've always fully trusted gtalk. Even sent over my SSN and credit card details. Never again.
Did you bother to read the wikipedia link I was commenting on? I've pasted the relevant part below.

According to Webb, the CIA was aware of the cocaine transactions and the large shipments of drugs into the U.S. by Contra personnel. Webb charged that the Reagan administration shielded inner-city drug dealers from prosecution in order to raise money for the Contras, especially after Congress passed the Boland Amendment, which prohibited direct Contra funding.
Webb's reporting generated fierce controversy, and the San Jose Mercury News backed away from the story, effectively ending Webb's career as a mainstream media journalist. In 2004, Webb was found dead from two gunshot wounds to the head, which the coroner's office judged a suicide. Though he was criticized and outcast from the mainstream journalism community, his reportage was eventually vindicated as many of his findings have since been validated: since Webb's death, both the Los Angeles Times and the Chicago Tribune have defended his "Dark Alliance" series. Journalist George Sanchez states that "the CIA's internal investigation by Inspector General Frederick Hitz vindicated much of Gary's reporting and observes that despite the campaign against Webb, "the government eventually admitted to more than Gary had initially reported" over the years.[1][better source needed]
Aha, but they haven't found any fossils that bridge the missing link between this new Placoderm and the ones we already knew about. If evolution were true, we'd have found those fossils as well! All science can do is continually and conclusively prove that science doesn't have all the answers.

My holy book has the correct answers, I know because the book tells me it does. Therefore it trumps science.

Sadly, there will be millions of people who will think exactly this.
What I'd like to see is mobile displays that actually look good in sunlight. I think that could be the next major area of display progress.
I'll skip another 'Welcome to journalism' comment, and instead observe that an Australian scientist may actually be surprising news under the new government there!

Indeed it should. In this case, he was selling a LOT of drugs. But I seem to remember a story (maybe someone can get the link as I can't think of it right now) where they sent an undercover woman cop into a school.

A boy ended up falling in love with her and she persuaded him to get her marijuana. When he did, he was arrested. The kid didn't even smoke it himself, he was just hopelessly in love with her.

For console games C++ is unlikely to be replaced in the near future, although an ever increasing portion of the game code is likely to be written in a scripting engine on top of and underlying C++ base. Of course, the main reason that the engines are written in C++ is that that's what the toolchain provided by Microsoft/Sony/Nintendo supports, so there aren't really any other options unless you want to write your own compiler. There are however a few good reasons to use C++ for console games.

Console games have some fairly unique restrictions which are difficult to meet in other languages. The most major one being that they usually have predefined memory usage maps, and often disallow allocation/deallocation for large parts of their runtime. This means that garbage collected languages aren't really an option unless you have tight control over the collection itself. Also to squeeze as much data into as little memory as possible games often use custom allocators which can take advantage of the fact that the memory layout is mostly known ahead of time and is mostly static.

The other bonus of C++ is that you can drop down into assembler, either to speed up a certain portion of code, or to work around a bug in the compiler chain. Because the toolchains tend to be targeting fairly unique systems, they tend not to be as mature as toolchains for the PC so both of these situations can, and do, occur.

With the ever increasing amount of memory available in consoles it's possible that they'll reach a point where they won't have to have as tight a control over the memory, but mostly when extra memory is available it's quickly filled with larger textures, more detailed models, higher fidelity physics maps, or more AI agents.

That's still not quite true -- subject alternative names allow you to put multiple domains on a single certificate. That does raise trust issues if you're doing shared hosting, but it should be fine if you run all of the sites and don't mind them being obviously linked.
No, what he did would today be called 'microfinance', the organizing of which is a favorite pastime of today's royals and philanthropists.

Very true and insightful. The OP writes as if it's a big loss for the world that he tweets instead of blogging, and that Twitter is to blame for this loss.

But

2/ he's the only one to blame.
Scandal for collection data you explicitly have opted in? Really?
You are wrong. Attacks against sites with self-signed certificates are trivial to execute (you just need to download the tools and learn how to run them) and can be fully automated. Obtaining fraudulent certificates is occasionally possible (getting more difficult every day), but it generally needs to be done one site at a time, and requires a _lot_ of resources.

That said, there are many ways in which browsers could improve the handling of self-signed certificates. For example, having a Convergence-like system to fall back to seems useful. Another possibility would be to use opportunistic encryption, where all access is encrypted even without a certificate. (This would defend only against passive attackers, but it's better than no encryption.)

There are a number of rumours of Apple trialling a 12 or 13" iPad going round at the moment [1].

To my mind, that would be Apple cannibalising Mac sales - an iPad that big would be aiming squarely at Macbook Air territory (especially coupled with the A7 and future processors).

But if they did release one, they really should give it a decent digitiser - that, plus the bigger surface (sheesh) area, would be perfect for drawing on.

I'd like to see some facts to back that up: I suspect it is bunk, another problem somewhere that has been mistakenly attributed to the certificate type (perhaps they altered other SSL options on their web server at the same time as changing the cert, or the non-EV cert uses smaller keys so takes less CPU time to process).

The EV certs contain extra information so are likely to be a little larger, but we are talking at most a couple of hundred bytes here so the extra download time getting the cert and CPU time verifying things are not going to be significant.

People do tend to have larger key sizes on EV certs (2048 or 4096 bit rather than 1024 or 2048 (though 1024 bit keys are increasingly rare even for "standard" certificates)) which might impose a measurable latency difference on a mobile (or other low-power) device due to the math involved in verifying the site against the certificate, but nothing like the order of magnitude that link mentions.

Portugal just opened the largest EU datacenter. Connectivity infrastructure is really good in the country (heh, international debt had to go somewhere...). The government couldn't care less about snooping, although they are US-friendly to a fault. However, court approval is required for snooping and courts are slow moving and processes are open: Service providers may inform the customer about the snooping order and may withhold data if the customer challenges the court order.

Plus, it's sunny!
Why not with a Browser plugin?
Pidgin already Supports OTR via gtalk. And on Android you can use Gitterbot.

No, trust has been broken.

Here's something I did that I highly recommend: build your own Linux distribution via the Linux from Scratch (LFS) project (Google it).

I took an old laptop and installed Slackware with an LFS partition. Then I downloaded all the packages and followed the directions from the LFS book.

It took a while, but by the time I had finished I had learned three key things: (1) a lot about how Linux works, (2) how to find information (about Linux and for solving problems with Linux), and (3) a lot about BASH.

Seriously, although it sounds daunting, it is doable and you will learn more than you ever imagined.
I had one of IBM-s P70 bought second hand in 2001. It was amazing - it had 1600x1200 on 60Hz refresh and it was able to push gaming resolutions (1024x768) at 120Hz horizontal refresh . I still cannot find as smooth gaming experience.

We have regressed indeed.
The moment these middle eastern countries (Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Yemen) are not useful to Western foreign policy anymore and therefore lose our support, they will probably disintegrate.

You've got citizens that are a minority in their own country, and that are largely incompetent and incapable of running anything, because they never had to do any work.

And then you have a majority of foreign workers that are largely treated like slaves, and probably not happy with that situation.

I can't see who would support those regimes if they get into troubles

Europe certainly wouldn't, politicians here already call those countries dictatorships (publicly) and noone want's to have any affiliation with them.

Russia and China both already had their experiences with terrorism sponsored by those regimes, so I wouldn't expect any support from them either.

I think that particularly Saudi Arabia already sees the writings on the wall and they are actively taking measures but it will be too late, too little.
While this is a well made video that really forces us to question what we are doing with our lives, I believe David Mitchell has better theories on living in the moment.

Yes, but from what I understand their plan is to bring back most of the features in the future (I remember them mentioning specifically bookmarks, opera link and tab thumbnails), until then: Opera 12.

On the other side Chrome based Opera is also starting to look pretty good in it's own rights: it's fast and snappy, mouse gestures are there if I'm not mistaken, page stack (or whatever the name is) is cool. If I would to choose between Chrome and Opera 16 now I would go with the latter (also because Chrome really pushes too much Google on the user).

Not sure what you mean. Just FYI : at least on Android phones, among FF, Chrome, Opera (and the default browser), Opera's text flow is the best by far. You can zoom in and read any article on any site, and it does just the right thing. There is honestly an element of fear when you use Firefox for the same thing: it's absolutely unpredictable what it will do when you zoom in. I can sympathize with the developers since the re-layout of a page, figuring out whether the user wants to zoom in on the text or the image, etc; may be quite difficult. Opera Mobile has seemingly perfected this over years and years.

That comes across like you do think it is better, if maybe not by a lot. But then you write the following:

I think dcurtis should not be vilified for "seeking external validation". He is building up Internet capital, turning google juice into a brand. No one claims Warren Buffet is seeking external validation for building up his capital?

A while back I realised I was emailing myself ideas (for essays, just random interesting connections) with the hope I would one day go back and turn them into articles and put them up. guess what?

so I now have a wordpress app on my phone and I force myself to take an extra minute to turn a two sentence thought into a two paragraph idea. so I have actually published ideas - and I will pull actual longer, researched, articles from there.

what I think twitter does not provide, and is I think the next evolution of twitter use, is 140 characters as a pull-quote. You cannot fit a thought into 140 characters but you often can fit a headline.

someone notes on here that there are already a lifetime of insightful essays available - bit where are they? how do I find them and especially find them at the right time ?

Discovery as a search function is still in its infancy - I probably do want google to know what I am thinking so it can give me the essays that will most help expand those thoughts.

Have you ever used a retina display on a laptop? Every reviewer that I've seen comment on it has said that they cannot go back, and not because of indefinable crispness. Also, some people do run their screens with 2-4x as much info crammed onto it - this would be the main reason I would use one.
One perfect idea, distilled to it's essence can be easy shared in less than 140 characters. No all idea's but some. It's just a matter of finding the right idea and taking the time to express it correctly.

Coup Forecasts for 2013
I think he meant "change tact" is like "would of".
This is a pretty accurate depiction of my everyday life.

It wasn't until a few years ago that I suddenly noticed everyone was always on their phone -- all the time -- myself included.

Since then, I've been trying to be consciously aware of my own phone-checking habits while I'm around other people.

Unfortunately, it's incredibly hard for me to not check my phone every other minute. A lot of the times when I'm with my wife, she'll remind me that I'm scrolling through the latest Hacker News posts without even thinking about it -- and I feel awful.

Technology is a really great force in the world. It allows all of us to be closer together -- communicate better, share ourselves, and express our feelings to a wider audience. But at the same time, it's also an incredibly isolating force -- it ensnares our focus and passions, and often times leads us to disconnect with the reality around us.

I'm not really sure what the solution here is (or if one is even needed -- maybe this is the future?) -- but for me, I find the idea of not letting my technology rule my life -- romantic.

At a recent family wedding the registrar-lady told everyone to put their phones away, to enjoy the ceremony and to live for the moment. I was most pleased with this as I am a firm believer in there being more to life than it being a 'spectacle mediated by images'. However, it is very hard for some people, to them things don't actually happen unless photographed, instagram-filtered and blogged to Facebook. To live life without doing all that is some kind of 'separation anxiety' where participation is needed - tough.

Currently I'm fine having that live in owncloud, but should fastmail start supporting it, I may want to sync these data-sets.

Not sure I want to move everything into one place and one place only though. If it was one thing my migration from Google Apps taught me, it was that having too much stuff auto-integrated in one place makes it much harder to have control of your own data.

It severely limits your options to mix and mash best of breed services as you see fit.
Regardless of how "semantic" it is, I think Semantic UI looks really promising, and I'm tempted to use it right away. I like the way classes are used.
