That's a fair point. There are an array of risks that less (or more) intelligence shifts the balance around on.

N.b., I don't really like to frame it as "attacks on democracy". That is (1) hyperbolic and (2) not obviously true. Words must be chosen very carefully in this debate (and it is a debate!) in order to not mislead or scare people away. I would argue that TLA snooping leads to the "Chilling effects" idea, where debate and discussion are chilled from freedom due to awareness of snooping. Obviously there are follow-on and side effects as well, as well as long-term risk of political persecution. But let's focus on the visible problem today without speculating on the worse potential problems.

Further point with respect to word choice and bringing the mainstream awareness up: tinfoil hatters do not speak for me, and they don't speak for the mainstream. They poison discourse by being radical and not bothering to look at conventional reality. Same for conspiracy theorists. Reasonable and respectable people can move the needle, infowars/alex jones/coast to coast types really are no ally in the effort to make this a real issue.
My beef with the placeholder pattern was that once you typed a character you wouldn't know what the field is all about. This pattern fixes this.

Do you know of anyone who didn't get deadly serious about backups before they had a sour taste of data loss?

Me, I was just lucky my first really interesting experience was on a big UNIX(TM) Version 6 system, with a couple of user accessible DECTapes. Buying a tape was cheap enough, and the whole thing was neat ... and then I learned the -rf flags to rm. And had any critical data I lost on that DECTape.

Today I do nightly backups of my home systems to LTO-4 tapes (as well as offsite of the most critical to rsync.net a time zone away).
It really seems like the law industry does this type of stuff all the time, which is bs.

The law industry is a service business. You pay them for their services. The service you get is much less than what you pay for. This mismatch = an opportunity to do better and make a lot of money.
"But in general I'd still recommend just learning Python, because I think the advantages of knowing you'll be successful outweigh whatever extra work there might be."

This 100000x over. I commented on your blog so I wont put all that here. But I have tired to learn to code without any assistance from others for years. I have failed over and over, tried every language, I always get stuck, and while I can find help on google/stack etc it just eventually overwhelms me. I am going to try again using your guide and hope that I can be successful.
> Fourier Series only guarantee reproduction (take the transform and then take the inverse to get the reproduced curve) up to the L2 norm

This completely resolved the confusion. Thanks very much for typing this up.

This is one of those details which is probably pretty unimportant for the lay reader, but for someone with some mathematical training (outside of this specific domain) its omission threw a big red flag for me.
You know it is sad. I remember laughing at people yelling how the government is spying on everyone. In the end they ended up having the last laugh.

> (Seriously, SQL was originally marketed to managers with the idea that "it's just plain english so you can do it yourself, and don't need programmers!". You know how well that worked out)

Pretty well, actually -- lots of nonprogrammer analysts use SQL for queries, and IME the ones that do consistently are better able to answer questions based on data than the ones that use "friendly" query tools, that inevitably end up being much more limited in practice, and requiring a lot more support from both programmers and DBAs to make the data that is already available accessible through.

Unfortunately, lots of environments prevent direct SQL access to DBs for "security" reasons (as if mutiuser DBMS's didn't have role based access controls as a core feature)

The second. The first is too undetailed and vague, and the last two are too heavy and overdetailed for iOS7. The second conveys the sense of a clipboard but is light and balanced.
Let me second this sentiment: YAY!

My stomach dropped when I heard the news. I was so relieved to see that archive.org still loads, and to hear that there was no data loss. It's become a ridiculously irreplaceable tool in my daily workflow.

You found an interesting tutorial/article/paper written in 1995 but it fails to load when you follow the URL? Internet archive that shiz.

An author has edited his webpage, and you're curious what it used to look like? Internet archive that shiz.

Have a PDF link, but it's not loading? Check the archive. More often than not, it will load.

If I remember correctly, I once recovered a ~1MB zip file from there as well. The zip file had disappeared from the normal web, but thankfully archive had snagged it. Maybe it was a PDF though.

It seems impossible for the internet archive to persist forever... But it also seems about as valuable as the Library of Alexandria was in its day. Or rather, future historians will find it as valuable. So I hope we can get triple redundancy for it.
An interesting post, although I felt it ended a bit abruptly.

I loved your comment that "each unliked post might as well have had 150 comments saying 'I don't care.'" It sort of puts the whole thing into perspective. I also dislike the conversation killing aspect of social network.

I don't know, though. I'm still divided - on the one hand, I don't particularly like Facebook's effect on my life today. On the other hand, when I was a young kid (primary school) I was pretty shy and quiet and truth be told I think it is probably the case that I benefited quite a lot from vast swathes of my peers moving their social life online, somewhere I was already comfortable. (Context: I'm 21, and this change probably happened 8-9 years ago.)

So... does my gut tell me to stop using Facebook? a little bit. do I want to see the back of Facebook? Probably not.

anyway, thanks for making me think a bit.
You forgot to mention vague references to "toxins" and "detox" as well as anecdotal feelings of mild euphoria (edit: or subjectively elevated mood following/compared to a reduced baseline mood induced by initial hunger) given as evidence of health benefits.

I have read Eat Stop Eat, and do a 24-hour water/coffee/tea fast once a week. I had my annual medical exam recently, and I mentioned to the nutritionist that I fast once a week. Her response wasn't positive or negative, just "you can fast if you like, but no longer than 24 hours, and don't let your hunger cause you to over-eat following the fast". The health benefits of my weekly fasting are probably not as great as I think. We'll see how my blood chemistry has changed from my last physical.
That's the locus of the violence. The source of the violence (and of most of the other harms) is the prohibition.

Alcohol and tobbacco dealers aren't involved in shootings in the streets - instead we find them in their shops, carefully following laws and doing business peacefully. Nor are their customers suffering from adulterated goods, or committing robberies to afford black-market prices.

1. List some of the high-level factors that affect search engine rankings. Eg: quality of content, mentions on other sites and social media, and site structure.

2. Circle the factors over which you as a developer have control. In the above example it would be "site structure."

3. Explain that the other factors are out of your control or are not within the scope of work.

There's no shortage of marketing consultants (I'm one) and specialists that can help with the other factors.

Some interests (technology, science, politics (yes), business (kind of)), my gender (male), my relationship status (married), and my pet status (enabled). Plus, a gimmie: my location (Vancouver).

Things it got wrong: my parent status (I don't have kids, though we're trying), my employment (it thinks I'm a professor, due to my bio), and one interest (ugh sports).

Not bad, all in all, but pretty simplistic. I was hoping for some deeper insights.

Yasser Arafat was a known quantity both to the US and the Israeli for at least 30 years. There was little incentive to kill him at this stage of his life (unlike in 1982) - and I doubt it brought any significant tactical benefits to do so.

I would bet that the poisoning was ordered by someone within the factions of Palestinian struggles.

I'd say, try to identify people in your network who are sophisticated legal clients, who have engaged substantively with a number of attorneys over time, especially if they themselves are also attorneys. They should be able to distinguish attorneys who do great work and make their clients happy. When they recommend an attorney, ask for details about what impressed them with that attorney's work and service.

I don't feel that this solves anything that a label + placeholder could accomplish in this demo.

Here's is what I know and hold to be true from following the story over the years:

Quite a few high ranking sources in Israel insinuated he died of AIDS. He contracted the disease in the '80s. He was a homosexual and the Israeli intelligence is rumored to have videotaped proof.

Israel had no reason to poison him. After the Karine A affair http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karine_A_Affair Arafat's reputation was tarnished beyond repair with Western leaders. In later 2004 the intifada was mostly mitigated already. He was no longer a threat politically or militarily. Israel knew he was dying anyway and if you go back and read news reports you can see that over years he received quite a few treatments overseas for cover up diseases.

Yeah didn't really think that through before writing, majority is the wrong word. I didn't mean attacking the border, I just meant that a lot of the violence occurs near the border as most cartels set up shop in locations most appropriate for later distribution into the U.S.

That seems like it wouldn't be cost effective for them if there is even a small amount of anonymity between the buyers and cultivators.

I mean, cartels have been pumped up to pretty ridiculous heights by the war on drugs but it's not at the point where it would be realistic to have them say "here is a list of a few hundred usernames from SilkRoad spread out all over North America. Find them and murder them all."

Even considering that their MO is more along the lines of picking out the ones they can find and making a gruesome spectacle to scare the rest it still seems unrealistic, although so do a lot of things happening with drugs cartels these days to be fair.

It depends on the drugs. There are a lot of cases of producers selling on these market places. Look at a lot of the marijuana vendors, the vetted LSD vendors, the mushroom vendors, etc. Beyond that, there is violence involved in later steps of the drug trade: smuggling, gang turf wars.

Very neat. You may want to do something more to the edges (mirror, for instance?) to avoid high-frequency ringing artifacts there. Remember that the Fourier transform describes a repeating signal, so the borders (out into space) appear as impulses with lots of high frequency components. If you mirror, it should clean up the noise that's particularly prominent on the top and right.
