I think that your reply is a bit extreme.

The Google argument is mentioned once, and is not what led me to the conclusion. I found it while I was searching for an image to add to the post.

Most people that I know who deleted their Facebook account did it because they were wasting too much time on it. This is my subjective experience and opinion.

Sorry for giving you cancer.
like you can do now on some aosp roms on android. Installing Facebook and taking away all those permissions is awesome!
You really think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and lie?

As for the "hidden in a wall outlet", I don't know why that sounds outlandish to you. I've worked in construction, and had to remove wall outlets all the time...never once got shocked. Plus, Walter White did it so it's got to be a logical and prudent thing to do. Right?
He could've tried to deliver it anonymously? I wonder if touching it (and potentially leaving DNA) was risky?
Honestly I haven't used Ring/Compojure/Enlive beyond tutorials so at this point I'm very intrigued but don't have much to say yet.

My belief though is that there is some peace of mind that comes from the idea of what you might call "page composition" -- that this piece of data sits in this template, that it rides on top of this simple model, that it is in ORM from database. There is a huge amount of linearity and convention throughout the stack and because of the dynamic nature of Ruby lots of gems can be sprinkled throughout without one really understanding what they do.

Now, I'm certain this level of abstraction and functional/mixin kindof stuff can be achieved in a Clojure framework but I think it is generally perceived as being a bit more non-linear and DIY (libraries not necessarily playing nicely together). As in "yes I can get all of these pieces together but then if down the line I have to change this piece, how will I accomplish it without breaking everything". Essentially, I think the perception of OO is more alluring in terms of project cohesion, whereas functional programming is seen more of a supposedly incorrect assumption that an HTML document is simply an assembled mass of text.

I'm really just trying to convey that RoR and the like seem to be making a COMPLETE ("in a few lines I can do anything short of my business's custom domain logic") framework out of the box and perhaps there is some stigma attached to the nature of Lisp that makes it seem as though framework developers are not striving to cross these bridges and there is less of a community to keep them in check.

Eh, I wish that made more sense but this is a lot of conjecture based on perceptions -- it's clear that a lot of these communities emerge from hype & reactionary values moreso than anything else. People wanted to shift away from PHP and be more productive without getting radically far away conceptually. I just got dizzy thinking about this lol... but yeah I think Java developers are a bit more open-minded when it comes to application development, seeing things more matter-of-factly than the languages with only MVC/Model2 kind of frameworks. I think if an attractively-packaged Clojure library were to emerge and get the right publicity (sad but thats how the web dev world is...) it could steal the hearts of many Java devs.

In my limited experience with Clojure it seems fun AND powerful. Yes there is a learning curve but that is to take it above and beyond. The simple functionality of most web apps could probably be achieved without writing anything too mind-bending.

Please do respond even if that response involves completely ignoring my rambling... I'm very curious to understand the Clojure community better :)
He was renovating a school, thus he was carrying around a screwdriver (and probably lots of other tools) and possibly popping off outlet plates left and right (in preparation for, say, painting the walls).

If I found an sd card with encrypted files I'd be curious as hell.

Maybe the guy who hid it got the idea from Breaking Bad.
People are saying it's doubtful that he'd be able to brute-force two encrypted containers, but it's not. Most people use bad passphrases, because most password advice is terrible ("use a line from a poem but change some letters to numbers"), and because entropy is actually pretty difficult concept to understand and explain.

Scala can be summed up in one issue.

I loved Play 1.x(early adopter also) but I have since moved on. I gave Play 2 a solid chance. Scala programmers seem to turn everything into some kind of academic paper.
You will probably get different answers from different people.

For me it's interesting partly because I hope to get a language where managed memory is non-idiomatic and largely unnecessary while manual memory management is quite safe, i.e. no GC needed.

This combined with what I've seen so far with regards to other language design choices makes me hope for something that can also approach C/C++ speeds together with broad portability - uc's (where a GC obviously is a no-no) to big iron nixes to OSX/Win to Android/iOS.

Also, skipping things like GC I hope to be able to write drop-in replacements for C-libraries in Rust, with the application using the library being none the wiser.

These are just a few reasons. If I am wrong to harbour any of these hopes, please correct me. Basically, I hope for good performance, portability and productivity. If I stalked the Rust github page any more often, they'd probably block my IP for DOSing...

EDIT: Forgot to mention that I also hope for a large and supportive community - something I think we can already see the beginning of. People in #rust are very friendly and interesting 3rd party libraries are being produced as we speak despite the language and stdlib still being in a bit of flux. Community is so important. Also, Mozilla backing it is a big plus for me.
Honestly, bitcoin is less and less decentralized every day. Nobody runs bitcoin-qt anymore (it's all online wallets and lightweight clients), and mining power is steadily consolidating as the capital-intensive ASICs take over. The more widespread BTC adoption becomes, the more the network will be owned by those with the capital to purchase large quantities of GH/s

> When someone doesn't get a raise each month to make up for the expansion of the monetary supply he is effectively getting a pay cut, but he's been manipulated into not really noticing this.

You do realize that pretty much everyone understands this in some way? What do you think OWS was, in part, about? The middle-class of the US is well aware that their wages have decreased relative to productivity.

If deflation becomes the order of the day, every business lobby group will immediately switch their narrative to the importance of indexed-wages for all! (which they currently oppose) while all labor unions will switch to arguing a contract is a contract (which they definitely oppose - you can't sign away your rights, contract fairness etc.)
Exactly. No one nests truecrypt but people do nest zips because the filenames are still visible with the older zip "encryption" format.
This mindset, along with the police behavior that motivates it, will eventually turn the US into a mind-your-own-business country, where crimes can happen in broad daylight and people get in trouble while passersby do nothing. We've seen a similar culture in action in news stories from China.

The net result: cops' job gets harder, and they only have themselves to blame for alienating the people who should be their allies. At least maximum employment will be guaranteed for them.
Why "loved" in the past tense? There are new joke RFCs every year: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6921.txt
Chance of you being jailed for it: above average. Chance that anyone will be helped by you turning it in: far below average. Take your chances, if you dare.

Doing anything to cover yourself, such as sending it to the cops through the mail anonymously will further raise the chances that the cops will try to pin it on you.
I went along the path that using a directive to trigger D3 updates when $scope changes in AngularJS is a much better idea that throwing the baby out with the bathwater. D3 is incredibly powerful for visualisations, and it benefits greatly from simply tying it into the automatic $scope updates in AngularJS.

The way we get there is through car sharing schemes like Zipcar and Getaround.

v1 Zipcars automatically move themselves around between designated spots to rebalance supply and demand

v2 Zipcar can come pick you up much like Uber << taxi industy is screwed at this point

v3 Zipcar can pick you up and then drives you to your destination << Zipcar becomes much more desirable than owning a car at this point

This will happen at first in big cities like NY or Sydney here in Australia where parking, registration and other costs make car sharing already popular.

That's a gratuitously category-theoretic explanation, all you need to explain covariance and contravariance is is-a.

An immutable List of Foos is a List of Bars if a Foo is a Bar. A function taking X and returning Y is a function taking A and returning B if A is a X and Y is a B.

It's just answering the question "Can I use type relationships to guarantee that I will have no run-time conversion failures?"
The police should think about what kind of precedent they are setting when they go after reporters of this stuff.

No. A self driving car can move itself somewhere where real estate and parking are freely available and cheap. Also, if people can utilize them like taxis then the total number of cars registered at any one time can drop dramatically.

The difference between a self-driving car and a bus/train is that the car goes wherever you want, just like a manual car.

I think a major qualifier for that video is "if you're suspect of a crime". In the post, our main character claims to not have expected to come under suspicion.

Minnesota Public Radio reported often about systemic problems in the St. Paul, Minnesota crime lab over the last few years.

http://blogs.mprnews.org/cities/2013/08/st-paul-police-crime...

It seems those problems are now mostly cleaned up, and there is no particular implication here that a similar problem exists in the state crime lab, but it is a very good idea for citizens to press law enforcement administrators to make sure that crime lab procedures are validated and standardized and checked and rechecked.

When I started reading the skeptical literature a decade or so ago, I was astonished to discover that even fingerprint identification is not a well standardized or well validated procedure. And I used to believe that defense attorneys (I am a lawyer by training, although I don't practice law) were mostly willfully ignorant of science when they cast doubt on DNA evidence. But now I heartily approve the side-effect of our adversary system of justice, which when it works best should have the "other side" questioning every form of evidence and putting it to the test of rigorous validation. I think too often people trying to solve the problem of crime through the criminal justice system look for quick answers rather than exact answers.

I don't think it is. There are reasons people are working hard to avoid it, and it's not just 'shiny-new-thing' syndrome.
The actual bar for deploying self driving cars is that they are safer than some (large?) portion of humans that we already allow to drive. We don't have to do it the safest way or the most efficient way.

I agree that ubiquity is unlikely, but because of cost.

(A high end Mercedes can already keep itself in a lane, slow down the cruise for a slower vehicle and will override the driver trying to crash into things. These systems are environmental, they don't depend on detailed maps. http://www.mbusa.com/mercedes/benz/safety

People question the value of gold all the time. That's why gold has a market price, and why people are commenting on it being way-overvalued and basically guaranteed to be in for a fall due to economic recovery - probably keyed to the Asian markets where a lot of money fled to gold.

The thing is, you don't follow commodity price news.

It would be victim blaming if I thought he were actually a real person, but the latter part was entirely a well-intentioned tip to any person who actually finds himself in a similar situation. At least talk to a lawyer before traipsing into someplace dangerous like the police office.
It seems more to me to be an academic exercise in compiler complexity that has been wrapped in a shell of "lookit! Java++" as a play for industry acceptance. I haven't been working with it for long, but I feel that there's a lot of interesting stuff that has become unusably complex because of the design decision to support toll-free Java interop. That makes me nervous.

I am not an expert, but the speaker in the video is very clear that you should avoid speaking to the police under all circumstances. It does not matter if they tell you that you're a suspect or not. He gives an example of a colleague asking if he should speak to the police when he is not a suspect and his advice is, "no!"
The section on HTTP headers and typing is a little concerning to me. I've been making rust-http recently and (before I was aware of Spray) I felt strongly about the typing. So, I'd like to discuss this. Am I wrong after all? Here clearly is someone that disagrees with me. I think I should probably write up a long blog post on the topic explaining my reasoning and so forth.

rust-http is, at present at least, rejecting the standard practice of stringly typed headers and is using strongly typed headers.

> ... and even types for every ‘known’ HTTP header.

> The known HTTP header part was particularly ridiculous. HTTP headers are defined as simple key/value pairs. You’re supposed to be allowed to add arbitrary headers. You’re not supposed to be constrained by the framework you’re using not having any support for CORS yet.

He has taken a strong position against this strong typing; I take a similarly strong position for such strong typing.

Yes, HTTP headers are defined as simple key/value pairs. But headers are not text; they are data. XML is defined as text. Should we use regular expressions to work with it? (True, it also has the DOM defined. But HTTP headers also have a grammar defined—it just happens to include the admissibility of extension headers.)

HTTP is a serialisation format for messages; messages made up of computer-readable data, not text.

I wrote a handful of paragraphs about this subject at https://github.com/chris-morgan/rust-http/issues/1 where using a map instead of typed headers was suggested.

As I also note there, I would not attempt such a scheme in a language like Python (my primary language for some years) because its type system is not well adjusted to something like this; I am certain it would cause many problems and feel it likely it would cause more than it solved. But in a language with a solid type system capable of expressing these things, taking advantage of it should lead to a faster, more correct program.

In the end, I believe strongly typed headers are a good thing to have (it will actually make most code distinctly nicer—e.g. ``response.headers.date = Some(now())`` instead of ``response.headers.set("Date", now().to_http_header())``). The implementation of the scheme in rust-http is certainly not perfect yet; I'm not happy with it at present; I'm expecting to turn the extension headers into a trait object, and I've even considered crazy ideas like allowing users of the library to make their own header collection (request.headers and response.headers) types—that would allow custom headers to be made first-class citizens but could lead to compatibility problems.

Still, I don't want to make something that I believe should be the best HTTP library around and find that people hate to use it. What do you think about this header matter?
There is no reason...

What about insanity? ;)
It is done statically. Types are a compile time construct, languages like Agda and Coq have no type information at runtime. This means if one can't statically prove that their types are correct the code won't compile.

For example if my function returns a Vector[A, N] (a vector of A's with size N), and I try to pass it's return value to a function that expects a of type Vector[A, 2] my code will not compile. This is because there is no way one can prove forall A N. Vector[A, N] satisfies Vector[A, 2].

I had to think about how it could be plausible to anyone, and then I remembered what my late father (a chemistry major who later worked as an industrial engineer) used to tell me about working in chemistry labs. Sometimes you have to sit around and wait while an assay runs, but I suppose an efficient person (who has enough equipment) could run more than one assay at a time, and monitor each result in turn. I have no specialized knowledge about what a normal rate of doing tests would be in a well administered state crime lab.
This Asus router scores a 95/100 from me. I ran a pfSense machine and separate AP for several years and bought this when the machine died. The RT-AC66U has been almost as solid and capable as the dedicated pfSense setup, without the extra power usage that comes with running an x86.
The big question to me is why in the world would someone producing that kind of material hide it in a public place like that?

I also cant believe so many 4chan retards suggest he should have just burnt it and go on with his life. There might still be kids suffering at the moment or in the future in relation to this, so how can one possibly ignore it ? That feeling of not having atleast tried something to help would haunt me.
It sure does, but that's still just speculation. I think the story carries more weight than my speculation. Ultimately, we'll never really know what happened.
