Agree with the above.

In addition, all of these higher level languages popular in science seem to have pretty good support for calling existing C/Fortran libs when necessary. Julia is no exception, which makes it possible to take advantage of all the work that's been done developing optimized numerical codes.

That said, I would like to see something more automatic. In my limited experience, Julia's ccall works as advertised, but f2py in Python is much simpler to use.
There is a difference. A filter is a dumb blocking mechanism while blocking a specific site could involve research, warrants and so on.

I think eOS is a great distro. I used it for a week and I found it to be even more stable than Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. But it has a way too much mac appearance though, probably because of the dock?? I was using it on my work computer and someone stepped in to my cube and said...oh, you are using a Mac now! I tried to explain but the Mac tag was already there ..I went back to Ubuntu the next day.
At least they manage to save their face a little by admitting that this is bad and that they are working on a replacement unlike many other companies in situations like this. Take the Tesco incident for example: http://www.troyhunt.com/2012/11/5-essential-tips-for-custome...
What about extra benefits?
In Belgium, almost all developers get a company car (received new BMW 3 series when I had 5 years of experience, had my 1 series when I had 1 year of experience), we get numerous tax-free benefits.
- Meal vouchers (120 euro / month)
- Representation fee (150 euro / month)
- Cellphone plan (about 30 euro / month)
- Car (mentioned above)
- Great health insurance
- Great pension plan/funds

The fact that we're probably not up there, is because the tax rate in Belgium for any middle class earner is > 50-55% and the employer cost is about 250% (meaning they have to pay out 250% of my gross salary to pay for social security, taxes, etc) meaning a lot of international employers don't want to hire people in Belgium anymore (even though we kick ass :-))

Assange isn't even charged with anything, he is wanted 'for questioning' and he has agreed to be questioned over video link but for some reason the police demands that he comes here to Sweden to be questioned.

It's purely political, and the second he sets foot in Sweden (heck, probably outside of the Equador embassy) he will be shipped off to the US.

Self-selected online survey... yawn
The people of England are stereotypically doormats when it comes to this sort of thing. Standing up for rights is not something we/they do very well.

We are the most survillienced nation, the population the most docile. That is one of the reasons I moved away, no one cares about this stuff, all they want is TV and quite often dole money. Let the filter roll out!

Of course there are exceptions, but nowhere near enough to make a real difference. The Government in England gets what it wants no matter what.

EDIT: I mean England, from my travels the other UK countries do not seem to have the same attitude as England does.

I really wanted to go with AAISP when I moved house recently, but they're just too expensive. To add a 16Mb unlimited/unmetred Sky Broadband connection to my Sky package cost an extra £3/month, whereas AAISP want £25/month for 100GB plus a £50 setup fee. I understand that Sky are subsidising their Internet connection with the rest of their package, but still it's just too much of a difference. I wanted AAISP mostly for the native IPv6, but I can get decent free tunneled IPv6 from Hurricane Electric anyway.

[edit]: And any blocks Sky puts in place can easily be routed around via my VPS anyway.

"the most docile"

I take it you didn't include the rest of the UK because of the significant number of people in Scotland and Northern Ireland who be quite happy to leave the UK? :-)

[Note that I said "significant number" rather than "majority" - the Scottish independence vote is still nearly a year away]

It could involve "research, warrants and so on" but if the UK builds up a large enough intelligence capacity [1], Those warrants and research can be mass processed and then how is this different from a filter? It might not be dumb but it is still a filter.

[1] This might not be true, but I feel that Englands intelligence capacity per capita is far greater than any other country in the world.

This is one of the worst cases of editorialising titles I've seen on HN.

Usually I'm for allowing some flexibility in the titles, but the current title ("UK Prime Minister: We have put in place Internet filters to block extremism") is a total fabrication not supported by the linked text.

Frankly, the misquote in the title borders on libel.

Several of these have got together to run a rest-of-Europe campaign to fill 3000+ positions in Ireland. (Can't find link now, will ref later).

unless we're talking Blackwater where legal is what you make it.
There are a lot of things wrong with that, not the least of which being that you can't modify rules in obscure places. That changed participation. Why not modify and notify the official rules. If they stuck in an obscure forum post an hour before deadline that the winner had to sell their code to salesforce for a dollar, would that still be a legal modification? That aside, they knowingly or unknowingly did not pass the modification rule to the judges.
While I agree that it's a tough question to answer, I can say that I am happier here in Padova, Italy, than I was in Portland, Oregon, despite the latter regularly doing really well in "quality of life" survey kinds of things. Partially because my own ranking places a lot of weight on the weather.

In any event, I agree with the people who have doubts that this particular survey does not have enough data to really do a good job.
"There are several thousand papers about genetics, linking specific genes to everything from eye color to intelligence to chance of developing colon cancer. Some of these papers are no doubt correct, others will no doubt in time be found incorrect. However, I worry you want 23andMe to independently validate each of these results before informing customers about them."

As they should. If they can't show that the associations they're reporting are valid, what purpose does it serve to report them? That's the whole point. It's not like drug regulation at all, because most of this stuff isn't settled science (and hey, not for nothing...we do test the effectiveness of the antibiotics that get sold at your local pharmacy. A doctor should know that.)

Tell you what: send me your saliva and $80, and I'll write you up a really nice genetic report. It'll tell you all sorts of great stuff, and it'll be $20 cheaper than 23andMe. But don't try to force me to certify that I'm not making everything up -- that would be stifling my innovation! After all, I'm providing a cheap service. Disruption!

For a community that goes absolutely crazy with skepticism about every scientific study (i.e. "correlation! not cause!"), there sure seems to be a lot of credulity to go around on this issue.

Cameron has a warped idea of "democracy" if he thinks this is compatible with it. Citizens are entitled to know the opinions of people everywhere, even the hostile or angry ones.

The transactions should kick in after about 10 seconds
These are valid concerns, and makes a pretty good case for it being politically motivated, and possibly even government plants making the accusations.
When the police announced that Assange was to be arrested and questioned about possible rape and molestation, one of the two women became so distraught she refused to give any more testimony and refused to sign what had been taken down.

That women is the same one who only went to the police because she was concerned that Assanged might had ripped the condom intentionally, and wanted to get Assange to make a HIV test (which he later agreed to).

I don't see much of an argument that this is really two women crying rape. The first woman and the case around if she was sleeping and thus in an helplessness state will likely be argued in court. The other woman is unlikely to even show up in court, and since the testimony has not been signed, its even a question if any case can be made without her.
There's a surprisingly large number of bitcoin transactions coming from the Australian outback, around the area of the Gibbon Desert and Great Sandy Desert. I'm pretty sure that's a very, very sparsely populated area, so either there's something wrong with the data, or there's some equipment out there which is somehow getting geolocated. A secret bitcoin mining operation in the desert?

From my handy "Copy writing for Geeks Checklist":

Is your copy about them, not you?

Did you position your product?
eg.: Copywriting For Geeks. Sweeps is a mixer, not a soft drink.

Do you focus on the single most powerful desire of your market?

Do you promise one large, unique and competitive benefit?

Do you mention that benefit in your headline?

Do you present the benefits of your product, not its features?

Are you making your product remarkable, ie. worth making a
remark about?

Do you prove that other people bought and enjoyed your product?

Do you associate your product with things people like?

Can you limit the availability of your product (time or quantity)?

Do you compare your product with a more expensive solution?

Do you remove all the risks that could prevent your prospects from
buying?

Do you answer the most common objections?

Do you offer a guarantee?

Do you force prospects into action?

Do you have a clear call to action?

Can you introduce urgency, ie. set a deadline?

Did you setup conversion tracking?

I highly recommend the whole package: http://copywritingforgeeks.com/

5 Reasons for the Boston Tech/Innovation Community To Be Thankful
Introversion and extroversion are obviously a spectrum. The reason that having that as an axis when discussing personalities rather than two different axes because people do tend to fall somewhere on the spectrum and many of the traits are opposites. Knowing that someone is, say, "a little introverted" is a decent heuristic to use when describing someone's personality.

I wonder of the author has been Myers Briggs stuff where people are often slotted as one or the other (although a good assessment will still show where on each axis someone is)

Sorry, time.com, but I already had spaghetti last night so I'll pass, I guess the list wasn't that interesting to begin with.
The cat is out of the bag now. There are enough bad actors in the world to assume that monitoring will continue indefinitely regardless of what the NSA does. This threat can only be mitigated by developing new protocols and technology. The sad thing is that the NSA could have helped society secure itself years ago. Instead they left vulnerabilities unpatched and the public open to attack.

I disagree and the article is based on a category error. The words introvert and extrovert are defined to be classifications of people not particular traits exhibited by those people.

extrovert: an outgoing, socially confident person

introvert: a shy, reticent person

They are defined in terms of particular traits:

shyness: the quality or state of being shy

confidence: the feeling or belief that one can have faith in or rely on someone or something.

People can have differing degrees of each trait and differ in how they exhibit those in different social situations. However, by definition, if a person is predominantly shy and reticent in most social situations then we're justified in calling them an introvert.
No one promised free transactions. Bitcoin miners compete for transaction fees while transaction makers compete between each other for a place in the blockchain. Miners are interested in accomodating as many txs as possible (at least, to increase value of BTC as a whole which affects their own earning), but network latency limits the growth (too big blocks would have higher chance to become orphans if they propagate too slowly).

Bitcoin is a free market of validators and transaction-makers who try to find the lowest possible fees to support the most profitable operation for everyone.

PS. Hard-coded block size limit is not approached yet and will be raised by majority of miners when they see huge demand in transactions. If they don't they are undermining the value of the whole network and thus the value of their earnings.
Just like the egg and chicken problem, so. But in this case, is easy to find out which one came first :P

Those are my favorite too - I normally call them Jules Verne patents - dreamt up something, written a fictional essay aka patent on it, then claiming money from the first one who actually built it and actually invented it.

If this continues, soon someone might claim that Gerdt von Bassewitz invented space travel (Peter and Anneli's Journey to the Moon - the German title is actually nicer - translated: Little Peter's travel to the Moon -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_and_Anneli%27s_Journey_to... )

Ideas come in thousands and if not executed are not worth a dime. Doing it is the hard part and that's why companies building things generally get paid / make more money than science fiction book writers.
