> opening a document as an e-mail attachment and not being able to find the actual file they edited

I'm so sick of this. The "open/save" dialog is in sore need of being revamped. There's really no such thing as "open" anyway -- it's really "save to some obscure profile temp directory and then open". Try explaining "you can't open a file that's not first saved to disk" to a user, though.

So, in the case of TSA, convenience outweigh than 1% of safety because of 40% of increase in both convenience and pleasant experience.

The conclusion that an attack is unlikely to happen is based on what? Can we do a fair experiment to show what would the probability be like if we never implemented this TSA inspection vs after implementing this TSA inspection?

Should we conduct such experiment and watch an alert (or wait until another plan gets hijacked)?

Okay. I need a new solution. What is the solution? I don't need a "we will die let's move on solution" because this is not a solution. If this is were a solution, we don't need law enforcement.

You could just use octal escape sequences in printf:

printf '\055'

returns

Just change 055 for 075 (=), 053 (+) or 137 (_).

eg your $eq code can be written like this:

eval eq$(printf '\075\075')
"Ubuntu software is free. Always was, always will be." --http://www.ubuntu.com/about/about-ubuntu/our-philosophy

From that page, it is clear that Ubuntu uses the FSF definition of "free" (and quotes it).

The suggestion that Ubuntu will be closed source in the future is FUD. Everything that Canonical ships in Ubuntu is open source with an open bug tracker and open version control.

(with the exception of proprietary drivers and Flash, etc, written outside the project, done for pragmatic reasons and optional with a clear option at installation time; this stuff has not increased but reduced in scope with things like nouveau available now).
I was wrong: "Derivative works are infringing if they are not created with the permission of the copyright holder." http://www.unc.edu/~unclng/copy-corner73.htm

IANAL: The most moral thing to do is obviously just ask the authors if it's okay to translate the work and link back to them. I really doubt most of them would have any problems with that.

Most likely you'd simply be asked to take down any material if a copyright owner didn't like it before you got into any legal troubles.

I am happy that this sort of condition is relatively rare in India, from where I hail. Most of us stay with parents and share homes and love. In fact, staying away from parents never even occurred to me before I came in touch with the Western culture that derides staying with parents. At first it seemed rather selfish to me that kids abandon their parents, almost like what happens in the animal kingdom. But later I realized that it's a cultural thing. And there's no judgement passing on either.

The only sad thing is that in India, if you abandon your abusive parents, it's looked down upon. In the West, if you stay with your angel like parents it's still derided. Hope this changes both ways.

I answered someone arguing that legally -- someone that starts a war is absolutely responsible for the effects. But then he turned around and wrote that one group was responsible for starting a war they weren't really involved in, except for trying to stop it.

There is a contradiction in there, if you think about it.

(People do make lots of mistakes in war, but the Bush administration did make a new face for f-ckups while handling the Iraq occupation. They did get lots of help from the Iranians to trip up, the guy arguing for disbanding the Iraqi military was working with them.)

If it's uniqueness you're concerned about, there are a lot of different parameters that describe habitable worlds and even more to describe the history of a civilization. Odds are, what most civilizations experience is unique to them; but I too believe there are likely to be many similarities, too.

Our inability to see and interact with other civilizations - even within the relatively small neighborhood of our own galaxy - is frustrating, and somewhat of a logical conundrum as described by the Fermi Paradox. Whatever the factors preventing us and others from making contact are, and I think it's likely a combination of several instead of one big filter, I hope we can leave them behind at some point and join up with the other people out there.

When I look at bigger parts of the universe, I feel inspired. The universe is not small and limited, it's vast and full of possibilities. Odds are we're not singular but in good company, and we have a lot still to discover and explore. What we do and know is unique and meaningful, yet at the same time it's not all there is.

Have you consider reporting strange deoptimization behaviour to V8 team? Performance issues are better investigated than worked around.

V8 has special support for uint32 values in optimized frames to avoid converting them to doubles when they flow into truncating operations. If that support somehow became broken that would be unfortunate. (and it's actually only >>> 0 that is problematic from the optimization point of view. as long as you shift by non zero result is within Int32 range).
> BUT they are spending resources on Mir WHEN they could have just gone with Wayland.

They can spend resources on what they like. This isn't a zero sum game. This doesn't take other Free software away from you. This doesn't remove other Free software from Ubuntu's repositories.

> they could have just gone with Wayland.

I don't pretend to understand the technical details. But they seem to be the only ones pushing a full traditional distribution onto a phone. They've made it happen.

This is Free software. You go use Wayland on your phone that you don't have and enjoy whatever full traditional Linux distribution that doesn't exist there, and I'll use Mir on the phone I can have today and enjoy a standard Linux distribution on it.
I don't now. I read it. It seems that given that most of the documentation of the language was done by Everett, the Chomskians have some difficulty getting around some points.

I found the discussions of anumeracy in that PDF quite problematic because they basically argued we don't know enough about the language to say one way or another. Some of the difficulties, particularly adding vs removing spoons posed significant interpretation problems for me. Of course if I was differentiate between a few spoons and a bunch of spoons, the lines would be different if adding spoons vs subtracting them. This is because the relative frame of reference is different.

It seems to me that the problem is fraught with insurmountable epistemological problems which can't be solved and therefore people get to make best guesses. In general though I would trust the one who speaks the language more fluently than the one who doesn't. This isn't to address novelty claims. Bahasa Indonesia, for example, mostly lacks relative tenses as well, and Proto-Indo-European probably did as well.

"How many Americans know the largest city in Poland?" - how many Europeans know on what continent is Mexico located? Or Kazakhstan (one of the 10 largest countries in the world, for that matter)? Or which Korea is which? Or who was who in the Balkan conflict - that's a bloody and recent war right in Europe.

Or does anyone remember that fellow? :) http://youtu.be/SmLwnSXNpFU

Sure that's just a random bloke (what about the public though? What are the odds?), but one could expect members of the parliament to be fairly knowledgeable, at least in the field of politics and current events.
Italy: http://www.video.mediaset.it/video/iene/puntata/3673/i-parla... - the journalist asked them some not that tricky questions out of the blue.

They didn't know who Mandela was (or thought he was a president of Brazil), they didn't know what Guantanamo was (and ultimately made a guess it was located in Afganistan). Greenhouse effect? No clue. Darfur? (War in Darfur was the headlines back then). They're stumped. People who do politics for living.

Americans at least seem fond of accusing themselves of ignorance and are quick to acknowledge it, while Europeans, well, kind of do the same thing - in the sense that they eagerly stereotypize Americans as the ignorant ones :)

I'm not American (I'm Polish), but I'm tired of this cliche - whenever I hear someone babbling on about these ignorant Americans, it grinds my gears, not out of love for Americans in particular, just in the same way as all myths, urban legends etc. passed on as facts.
I think I do understand your point, but I think that my statement has more emotional content for you than it does for me.

I've spent significant amounts of time in a few different cultures and through that I have developed deep appreciation for the various dimensions in which cultures differ and, like the famous story of the fish in the water, how it's inherently impossible to realise what is cultural and what is not until you enter a culture which exists on different point in these dimensions.

If you're familiar with Hofstede's work [1] he already provides us with five cultural dimensions he found most salient and useful in describing cultural differences.

I merely posited that, based on my experience and compared to Dutch culture, the US I saw was far on the far end of a dimension I would call "distance between the projected identity and real-world behaviour." This manifested it in all sorts of ways, from abstinence only education and large amounts of teen pregnancy, to being harsh on drug use but doing it much more than I was used to, to the more well known examples of exaggeration on resumes being the norm.

It is also not surprising that this is the dimension that was most salient to my mind, since Dutch culture is famous for being extremely parsimonious and straight-forward so the cultural distance on this dimensions is probably very large.

P.S. Hofstede is actually a Dutchman, so interestingly enough this perspective itself could very well be a Dutch cultural trait, perhaps caused by us being among the earliest cultures who conducted world-wide trade.

Concrete5 has the block model for sure, but I believe the editor is standard TinyMCE. Sir Trevor seems to take this to the next level, with the ability to configure a block for context specific editing. This would be a nice enhancement to Concrete5, or perhaps a new add-on.

One improvement to Sir Tevor would be to provide drag-and-drop ordering, which Concrete5 has today.

> Its not just Gmail, they started doing this with other products too. Whenever I access Google Analytics, ...

For what it's worth, Google Analytics had this since forever ago (quite possibly since the acquisition of Urchin). It is one of the few standalone products at Google (rather than a feature of another product, like Hangouts) which shows a marketing splash page when you're already logged in.

At least now it says "Access Analytics" (new as of a few months ago) instead of two "Login" and "Signup" buttons which both did the same thing.

I haven't seen this new Gmail landing page yet, but I'm skeptical that it'll show up for users who are already logged in.

"This happened: A starts a war W with B. As a follow on effect, some groups inside B starts a civil war W2 with others in B.

Well, let's see, the argument at Nuremberg was that Germany invaded Poland and sought diplomatic efforts to avoid conflicts with Britain and France, but those two attacked them over the invasion of Poland, which was Germany's war of aggression.

So, it seems to me that if Germany was in a war of aggression against Britain, then the same applies to the US being in a war of aggression against the insurgents.

"I think he wishes that the other languages would make deployment as easy as it is for PHP" Oops! You are right. Thanks. My honest mistake.

He said in another thread "Right, because we'd spit on it and advertise Rust or Go" [1]. I read that and that created the confusion in my mind probably.

Whenever I see any post about PHP on HN, some people (almost all the Snake lovers, and new Go enthusiasts converted from Snake community) start bashing PHP. That's so bad. So, when I saw above mentioned comment [1], I just wanted to tell him that "PHP is just a tool and that is as good as any other programming language if not better. You can be happy with your language. No need to say anything bad about any other language.".

If someone likes Python or Go, that's fine. Why should he or she try to prove other languages inferior?

mod_php surely makes it easy for anyone to get up and running PHP. It is not clear why Snake lovers, who bash PHP always, couldn't create a good and easy deployment solution so far!

Just want to make it clear, I don't have any problem with Python or Go or any other programming language, I just think it is time for the Snake lovers and Google lovers to STOP bashing other languages and users of other languages.

> I answered someone arguing that legally -- someone that starts a war is absolutely responsible for the effects. But then he turned around and wrote that one group was responsible for starting a war they weren't really involved in, except for trying to stop it.

So let's consider this story. Germany invades Poland and tries to resolve the tension between itself and France and Britain. France and Britain declare war on Germany.

Who is the aggressor? Are we to agree, in the end, with Reichspresident und Grossadmiral Karl Doenitz and recognize that who is the aggressor is a political determination (presumably dependent on who wins the war)? Or do we accept that since the situation seems reversed in Iraq we should hold ourselves accountable?

It seems to me that this is largely confirmation that Doenitz was right, that "aggressor" is a term to be decided by the victor. I suppose we can say that aggressors never win wars ;-)

I couldn't disagree more. UI/UX design sits at the intersection of business objectives and user behaviour (i.e. what the business wants / what the users want). The idea of iterating your UI one month a year is borderline suicidal.

If you're calling it "pointless work generation that hurts the masses", there must be something dysfunctional about your past experiences with UI/UX design people / processes in the organisations you've worked in.

Problem is, the prompt doesn't appear until the encryption has ended, the key has been sent to the servers (it's kind of complicated, it apparently tries to find servers on its own, I wonder if it can be fooled) and that key has been locally destroyed.

So, by the time the user is notified that there is malware on their PC, it's too late. People who know to detect viruses while they're running don't run attachments in the first place.

I'm curious why you leave Pol Pot, Rwanda, the Soviet Union out of your statement. The US doesn't have a monopoly on killing people or supporting bad actors. I also see no criticism of the EU that has supported their share of dictators. The anti-American tripe that constantly gets brought up by people that have actually never lived under true oppression is just silly without applying context. You mention Hiroshima -- what about the Nanjing Massacre? You mentioned Vietnam.. The reeducation camps run by the Communists were pretty brutal. Know anything about the Cultural Revolution in China? What about human experimentation conducted by Germans and Japanese? What about 1989 in China? How about the Turks and Greeks? Chechnya? Serbia? Kosovo?

Your one-sided rant reads like a freshman regurgitation of a Robert Jensen lecture. You can't blame America for everything, despite your desire to do just that.

USA imprisons ~6x more of its citizens than China does [1], as a matter of percentage. Considering that the USA has ~1/4 the population of China [2], we can determine that the USA has more people in prisons than China, by a factor of roughly 1.5 USA prisoners per 1 Chinese prisoner.
