"look to be"? How would javascript code know that?

I measured something, and that is the result of my measurement. People can make an informed decision with proper information. I found that the page served well without all the extra requests that Ghostery and Disconnect allowed.

Given the results, I am quite surprise you would say "look to be first parties serving content for the page".

Important tl;dr for those not from India:

1. Section 377 is a 148-year-old colonial law (read: British rule) under which a same-sex relationship is an "unnatural offence" and punishable by a 10-year jail term.

2. The Delhi High Court (akin to one of the US state supreme courts) had in 2009 struck down this law.

3. The Supreme Court hasn't defended the law, but asked Parliament to repeal it. I quote:

> "It is up to parliament to legislate on this issue," Justice GS Singhvi, the head of the two-judge Supreme Court bench, said in Wednesday's ruling.

> "The legislature must consider deleting this provision (Section 377) from law as per the recommendations of the attorney general," he added."

>The solution is bankruptcy, to be able to start over from scratch.

I believe it has more to do with the unfettered rise of the military-industrial complex (including banking/finance), which has siezed near complete control of our political machinery. We have become a corporate state, wherein politicians are fully purchasable and policy is made for a narrow set of interests vs. for the people.

If this is not changed, then these same powers will sieze control again after a bankruptcy reset.

Prohibition feeds the cartels and gangs.

As a gut check, if you're solving some replication problem and you'd consider using Paxos to solve the problem, be /very/ wary and reason extremely carefully about why your weaker solution will provide the same guarantees. Chances are, it will fail in certain cases of network outage or system failure.
It's a tool which is used by engineers, computer scientists and researchers. Focusing on your question for the /practical/ meaning of 'it's not linux...' outside what I explained in a previous comment that it's Berkeley UNIX unencumbered, though we do have the "one true awk"; Another diff would be that it's not a pure clean room implementation like the GNU operating system. BSD is over 35 years old and served us all well.

If you haven't had an opportunity to explore FreeBSD it's worthy to explore your options and toolsets if for any reason to be a well rounded hacker and also to understand the freedom and choices you have to make your own educated decision on the tools which you find practical for your own purposes.
I do not think they had this kind of usage in mind when they allowed it and i think the use case for it is in using a const reference to a function argument.Most people use this all the time without thinking about it or wondering what is the origin of the variable they are accessing through the const reference.

eg is when you have a function like below:

void foo( const string& str )
{
cout << str ;
}

The above function takes a const reference to string and uses it without caring if the passed in variable is a temporary variable or not.

Now declare a function as:

string bar() { return "abc" ; }

and the above two function can be used with:

foo( bar() ) ;

I think this use case is the one that allowed the use of temporary variable from a const reference and people do this all the time.

That just looks like an icon to reinforce that "this is a GitHub project". It doesn't at all draw attention to the fact that clicking the icon is the main way to get to the GitHub page.

I don't know why everyone is paranoid about unseen location data being collected. They often blame proprietary software like iOS/Android collect location data and send Apple/Google servers. That sort of transfer would be evident by tracing traffic and there are tons of reverse engineers out there intentionally keeping an eye on transferred packages that might contain sensitive private data. That would be a huge breakthrough if it would exist and be revealed.
Google analytics tracks your time on page, and is probably storing values to do with that when you lose focus on the page - this is used in analytics for showing site owners engagement etc. Re the pref cookie, it could well be to track your interaction with searches, as they do for site analytics, if it changes when you leave a page, that's the most likely explanation.

It's an API; meaning you can integrate it with anything including fingerprint devices.

Sure, just black hole www.google-analytics.com and ssl.google-analytics.com in your hosts file.
I find the best approach is to render the initial view server-side and then render any future requests client-side with data from your API. That way your site will be super fast and can be indexed by search engines.

If you're using node.js then you can even use the exact same template rendering code.
Do you think people in poor communities are generally finding it difficult to gain access to drugs? Do you think pushing poor people who do drugs or have friends/family members who do outside of the bounds of the law improves their lives? Do you think creating a barrier of distrust between drug users and law enforcement is helpful?

A lot of the problems of drug use are either orthogonal to legality or worsened by prohibition. We saw this with alcohol and it's just as true with marijuana and most other drugs.

I don't think either ones are necessarily full of shit honestly. If the problem to be addressed is income inequality, or wealth distribution, or whichever particular categorization of the problem of "poor people are poor" you want to optimize for, they're both decent solutions in theory.

If you'd like to know my personal preference, I'd be happy to discuss that offline, but spoiler alert, it isn't either of the solutions I presented.

As far as the generalizations, if I miscategorized anyone's beliefs, then I'm sorry. None of what I presented was meant as a critique... really. But progressive taxation seems to be the prevailing theory coming out of the progressive camp, and tax abolitionism seems to be the prevailing theory coming out of the libertarian camp.

As for the stereotype though, I will say that I relied upon the reader to reject the assertion that "all" of any demographic wants a particular thing, because I agree that is an impossibly broad assertion. Again though, if I gave cause for offense, I apologize.
That seems outlandish, but I honestly don't have a better explanation.

Accessing an element of an array via ptr[3] is actually just short for *(ptr + 3).

Sadly, Disconnect detects less trackers than Ghostery (e.g. 5 vs 7 on washingtonpost.com).

I also like how Ghostery provides URLs for each tracker source (actual payload) that you can easily view on their site.

There's also a database with short description, affiliations and privacy terms for each tracker (e.g. https://www.ghostery.com/apps/google_analytics).

I really appreciate an ethical alternative to tainted Ghostery and hope you guys will catch up soon.

I wish there were more options besides the EFF who supported the myriad of causes the EFF works towards.

Their treatment of CISPA was not, however, something I can stand to support, and for this reason I can't justify giving them money until they soften their hardline stance substantially.

Their "call to arms" press release was rife with doublespeak and inaccurate interpretations of the proposed bill, and it felt like there was some kind of ulterior motive at play for them to never be satisfied with concessions and changes to the bill text.

I get this sense that the EFF basically says, "no!" to every bill coming from congress that has anything at all to do with the Internet, and that's just not a useful way to run an advocacy group.

I support a free and open Internet (seriously, who doesn't around here?) but I would rather codify that in US law than
sit around and wait for the FCC to fine Comcast. If congress can't touch the Internet, then they can't protect it, and I'm afraid the EFF would find itself on the wrong side of an open Internet if congress tried.

Interesting point. We certainly did end up clashing in the years we worked together, as I am not shy in expressing my opinions about what needs to be done.

It came to a head at one point, and the result was a reorg so that he was no longer my direct supervisor; I threatened to walk if the situation continued. The manager I reported to next wasn't particularly higher "rank", by your f(), since I had at least equivalent talent and more experience, but he was comfortable with the relationship(instead of acting like he felt threatened by it), and as such made a much better manager.
I also recommend installing them and running the extra mile by changing your default search engine to DuckDuckGo (HTML SSL) without javascript (use NoScript). They temporarily track you and HTML one gives you direct links as opposed to redirects.

Yeah. That somewhat resembles monadic behavior. Passing a container (list in this case) of functions and applying each of those functions to a container (again a list in this case) of arguments sounds a lot like an applicative functor. All monads are applicative functors though. Doing something in between each call definitely is more monadic than applicative, since that's more or less what the bind (>>=) function can do.

This was actually written in the book I used to learn C (I think, at least I knew this early on). It seems completely irrational when someone tells you that ptr[3] == 3[ptr], but with the above explination it makes perfect sence.

The function try blocks is new to me. It's actually kind of elegant (for C++). Granted, the reason I've probably never encountered it in the wild is that there are probably very few scenarios where you have a member in the initializer list where you want to handle an exception on initialization. If you were trying to handle an exception of an instance variable initializing, most people would just move that member to the constructor body (e.g., if you have a pointer). The only time this would be useful then is for members that don't have default initializers (e.g., a reference).

No. At any given time, around half of the men and women incarcerated in the US are there for non-violent drug offenses. To date, 31 million people have been arrested on drug related charges.

A situation where the demand becomes bigger (because it's not illegal anymore) will only put more fuel onto their war.

This is just obnoxiously wrong. How can you not understand that drug cartels won't even be a part of the picture after legalization? It will be LEGAL! It will be exactly the same as any other commodity. Beyond that, available evidence suggests that rates of drug abuse decrease when punishments become less draconian (see Portugal).
