Is the licensing of Wikimedia Foundation project content consistent with using that content to form a new project, as long as there is attribution? I think so, but I would have to check. That could lead to the odd situation of New Project linking to Old Project from most articles, but that would also allow a head-to-head comparison of article quality, which just might heavily favor New Project.
I recently migrated away from gmail and before I left took a back of "All mail" up using mbsync ( http://isync.sourceforge.net/mbsync.html) which was easy to setup and quick to run. As a bonus this gives you your mail in Maildir rather than mbox.
Mine is backed up to several copies of Apple Mail
A similar project is http://gmvault.org/

I'd never heard of bagoma before. I've used
Gmvault successfully on both gmail and google apps accounts.
This is the one that comes to mind off the top of my head (and Google), but I know I've seen about 6 articles over the past few years:

Oh...
oh, interesting, so I'm not the only one! I subscribed. Thank you.
So he found that dynamic dispatch was a lot more expensive. Fair enough and not very surprising. But let's quantify it a bit in absolute terms. The dynamic version of the code took 1.25s to run, during which time it performed approximately 8 x 10^8 virtual function calls. That translates to a cost per call of 1.5 nanoseconds.

From which my takeaway would be: In inner-loopy code for which an extra nanosecond or so per call is critical, you should avoid virtual function calls. For anything else, don't worry about it.
Because I want my system to work, unlike that example you give. And impossibly? It worked fine in Apple's 68k-PPC and PPC-x86 transitions, across the various shims that Microsoft has for all kinds of old software, and may even work fine across various VM hosts running on Mac OS X (disclaimer: I have little experience with those)
I don't understand what you're talking about or how you get anything about "the ultimate invincibility of MS and Intel" from this article. You think an Atom phone is completely impossible? And what "confusions about the Xbox"? Is it really controversial to suggest that the Xbox One doesn't run a stock install of Windows 8?
Wonderful, perfect timing. I've tried hard to stay away from Bootstrap for various reasons, but I really need
to use it for a project I'm working on currently. Can someone more familiar with its history (and planned
future) please give me a recommendation in regards to what implementation I should use, LESS or the SASS-ported
version? Have there been any talks of considering SASS for future Boostrap official releases?
Is LESS still active and evolving? I'm obviously strongly in favour of SASS, but I'm not the end-user of the project.
Interesting attitude. Why "keep it legal" if this is your opinion? (besides the risk of getting caught).

Not really imo…they are an automated, set-it-and-forget-it backup service. Not quite the same thing for me to have to remember to go in occasionally and download a full copy of my data versus having a service do it for me once or multiple times a day. Especially for businesses who want to manage multiple accounts and have a centralized backup system.
I wonder if there was a bit of 'tech' clash with old school 'medicine' clash. Basically tech folks take the position of move forward and fix things that break, rather than wait until you are 99.999% nothing will break and then move forward. If that were the case, I could imagine a product manager getting incentivised to get the kits out the door and testing ramped up in spite of FDA reservations because 'hey it isn't like its something people take or anything.'

It would make an interesting short story (fiction of course) of a Doctor who invents a cure for cancer and starts giving it to people in his family who have cancer, and curing them but gets thrown into jail by a regulator, whose spouse dies of cancer during the clinical trials. The character conflict of someone who is doing the right thing at great personal cost, compared to someone who did the wrong thing for personal benefit, vs the overall 'right vs wrong' of the entire system. If someone picks up this story line add a thank you to me in the forward :-)
The "delay" isn't going to help anyone quickly.

First it's merely a promise to not prosecute companies for offering soon to be illegal insurance. That provides no protection from civil liabilities, the insurance polices will still be illegal and that has consequences, see a former Federal prosecutor of some note on this subject: http://www.nationalreview.com/article/364117/lawlessness-fix...).

Second, as noted in bmelton's second paragraph, the state insurance commission has to approve the plan. Not only is this sort of thing horrible for Obamacare's economics---there's a reason you're subsidizing others, particularly those 50-64---if they were to allow this anyway, given the best of will by all parties concerned, its highly unlikely they can turn on a dime and get this done in 25 calendar days minus processing time to avoid a lapse in coverage.

Among other things, the insurance company can't afford to offer you exactly the same terms, costs have gone up at least a bit. So the company has to figure out terms that'll likely result in a profit, and the commission has to determine if it's appropriate.

Per Obama's promise not to prosecute, the company also has to have someone smart sit down and detail in every respect how this plan is deems deficient compared to the Obamacare floor. That's more than a tiny amount of work, with potentially severe liability for getting it wrong.

But, yeah, call them and ask them if they're trying to renew your plan and if they think there's any chance they'll be able to do it in time.
Thanks for sharing. In the case of GMVault, how "important" do you think your email needs to be for you to use something like that, as opposed to using Google's solution when it comes out? Or asked in a different way, what do you feel GMVault could offer which regularly archiving emails using the Google solution can't?
Everything you've done until this moment has defined beginnings and endings. Even when you can barely stand to sit in class another day, you can always tell yourself that it'll all be over in a year or two years or whatever.

Once you start working, you're expected to do that for the rest of your life. So don't be too eager to jump into a career as soon as you can.

Also, you can only desire based on what you know. Most people graduate from school having gone through one giant funnel that took them to that point, so the direction you're facing now might be more a reflection of that framework than yourself. Take some time to step outside traditionally supported structures and do something completely different.

Hitchhike to Alaska, start a band and go on tour, ride a bicycle as far as you can, start a traveling puppet show. Do whatever — but make it really uncomfortable, and make it count.

At sodding last. Previously they only allowed IMAP interface, but their IMAP was fucked-up and broken. Most of the development work on offlineimap was compensating for Google's blithe disregard for piffling details like the RFC.
Am I the only one who can't see the Mail backup option? Only the Calendar option is available for me.
Yeah, I was thinking the same. I'm wondering how much of that could be automated, though, through appropriate system design. The IRS knows when people are dead. Presumably, that system could then alert the BIG system to stop dispatching checks.

That's just one solution to one problem in a sea of them, but I think it's a representative example.
"To receive Broadcasts, a subscriber needs only to download the free App.net app for iOS or Android."

Is this just RSS to Push then? As a subscriber, or even as another tool/service, I'd like to have other options to receive broadcasts, like email, a RSS reader, etc. Push seems like a very limited channel for reusability.
If you remove the state from a violent, fraud-ridden, still very feudal system, you will simply unveil the underlying less centralized tyranny latent in that system.

There's also a massive blind spot in most conventional libertarian thought with regard to soft power and indirect coercion. Eliminating direct coercion but leaving caste systems in place only frees those who are rich or powerful enough to evade those caste systems. The rest are consigned to poverty and oppression through manipulation instead of force.

So yes, I do think the state can play some role at this time in history at uplifting the human condition and empowering the general population in ways that could -- given a lot of time -- eventually lead to a future that is better and freer in multiple ways. Or it could not. The state can't be trusted, but I also don't think we can dispense with it (yet).

Simple reductio ad absurdium: imagine actually dispensing with the US Federal Government. Most US states in the interior would establish theocratic feudal totalitarianism along Christian Reconstructionist / Dominionist lines, and the coasts and anywhere resource-rich would probably be invaded.

For what it's worth, a sufficiently generic tool I think tends to balance toward morally positive, because there is more intent to do good than intent to do harm out there. But of course, helping to grow that disparity is still important, which is why you should be looking to see if there's ways in which your tool radically, disproportionately facilitates harm.

Changing your driving habits from "slam the accelerator" to "accelerate slowly and evenly" or "brake hard to stop at the last moment for that stop sign" to "come to gradual stop" is hardly as reckless as "Stop taking as much Warfarin as you are because our tests (with no proven reliability) says you could take a lower dose".

Almost all the metrics you'd get out of of an ODB port would tell you to be gentler in your driving. Very few people feel comfortable in messing about with the guts of their car. Whereas many patients are more than happy to disobey their doctor's orders on a whim
It's great to see images where billboards and signs advertising junk are not covering every square millimeter. Even the author mentions "The way you think about consumption is entirely different"

New Zealand has a law limiting advertising like this, and it's fantastic.
In that case, they would tell it today rather than telling that the public should deal with the Bitcoin's risks themselves, wouldn't they?
If you travel, you should go by yourself. I went to New Zealand for 6 weeks by myself, and it was a formative experience for me: Meet new people, live in the moment, and don't say no to any experience! This attitude led me to doing so many things I never could have imagined doing before. Best of luck to you in the beginning of your career!

>Do we just let them starve to death in the street?

I imagine private charity would pick up some of the slack at this point. I feel that, if someone is given enough to live on but uses it irresponsibly, the state no longer has any obligation to provide for them (they already have.) It would fall to individuals to decide whether they personally have an obligation to assist them.

I'd prefer if we didn't at all TBH, but something that would pass would most likely only be modest.

> Scare quotes on inflation?

More like skepticism. The FED wants inflation[1]. I may not agree with them but I'm not the central planner with a printing press. I doubt we would see prices go higher, as some people would quit the workforce and live poorly living exclusively through MI. Some would stop working full-time (myself included) and figure out the best way to work less for the same amount of money. And most would simply use the money to combat their debt they've collected over the last 15+ years. It helps everyone, including the markets, due to velocity. I'd love to compete against a company who would dare raise prices. Press Releases condemning them, highlighting my lower prices, etc, etc.

> This is a heavy handed gamble, and one i would be unwilling to risk our fiscal futures on.

The premise of this article that patent attorneys wear down patent examiners through dragging on prosecution by continually responding to office action rejections is nonsense. In fact it's just the opposite. Patent examiners would love to see the same patent application over and over because they will already be familiar with the subject matter and will have a pretty good idea of the art in that field from having already examined the applications before. Plus the patent examiner is allotted extra time to examine the application each time an RCE or continuation is filed to extend prosecution. So seeing the same patent application over actually helps the examiner to more easily meet his production requirements.

I find this interesting. I particularly enjoy the idea of proscribed words in Taboo leaking information that helps describe the taboo word. It reminds me of a pentester checking robots.txt to see what parts of a website the admin doesn't want crawlers to see.

However, I disagree with the "tree falls in the forest" example. The thought experiment was formed in a time when the only way to measure acoustic vibrations was with the human ear. I don't think it's any great leap to extend the conceit of the experiment to cover all forms of measuring acoustic vibrations.

Albert may claim:

A tree falling in a deserted forest matches [membership test:
this event generates pressure waves in a material medium].

And Barry could quite reasonably reply:

How can we be sure those pressure waves are generated if we
don't have any wave detectors in the forest?

In other words, I don't think this is a case where ambiguous language is the source of the apparent disagreement. No matter how far down the abstraction-chain you go, the detection of acoustic waves always requires an observer of some fashion, which brings us back to the sense of the original thought experiment.

> With a basic income, we can reduce spending by abolishing all social assistance

I would love to see the numbers that show a no-questions-asked basic income would be cheaper than the present social assistance monies.

There are a lot of logistics here. How do we prove you did not already get your check? What about those without mailing addresses. Or ID's? Is the basic income adjusted for families of 1 vs 7?

This idea of a minimalist ruleset for financial assistance seems like it is great at first, but will inevitably just get more and more bloated (and costly) as you actually implement it.
> Should the guy working hard all day to make the Zyklon B have refused to do so? ABSOLUTELY

Initially at least, Zyklon B was an entirely legitimate pesticide/vermicide that had a broad range of uses. The original form contained a powerful warning odorant to alert users of its presence in sub-lethal concentrations.

I don't think there's any claim that the actual production staff knew exactly where or how it was being used, and so would have no real grounds to refuse or quit. There is evidence that once it was found suitable for killing humans, there was a change in formulation to remove the warning odorant at the direct request of the extermination camp officials.

I'm not sure if that alone would be grounds for staff suspicion, as it was apparently passed off as necessity due to wartime material shortages, which to me would seem plausible.

The production and distributor firms management, however, knew a lot more about what was going on, and where it was being used. Founder Tesch & director Weinbacher were both found guilty in a war-crimes tribunal[1], whilst another employee was acquitted.

So I don't think it's quite so simple a scenario as 'the process engineer for the pesticide vats should have guessed they might be being misused and quit just in case' that you lay out.

Background: I consider myself a Voluntaryist or Anarcho-Capitalist libertarian, and I can't see how I could ever support anything that violates NIF[1][2].

That was more interesting and enlightening than I expected, to be quite honest. My initial thought was that there would be no way to reconcile a "basic income" with the NIF principle, unless said basic income is paid entirely voluntarily. But the historical rectification argument strikes me, at first blush anyway, as having some credence.

That said, I'm a long way from fully onboard with this as long as it's rooted in our present system of taxation which is fundamentally based on coercion / force, or threat of same.

I think you miss my point about Intel phones. Intel is threatening to have processors that will be somewhere between "credible" and "best in class" for smartphones. It's not guaranteed at this stage, but it's absolutely within the realm of possibility. Should this happen, it's absolutely something that Microsoft will need to support, especially since Android already runs on such phones.

Windows Phone 8 was intended, first and foremost, to bring the kernels into alignment. It did this. It is a shame that it does not provide the full WinRT API, but Microsoft never said that it would, so I'm not sure why you're saying that it was "supposed" to.
Pulling out the survivorship bias argument may be convenient for online discussion and debate, but it's rarely very compelling.

That's a great oath: Bypassing ethics completely, and swearing devotion to technical quality and not disturbing the porfessional social order, it underscores, bolds and italicizes TFA, which is nicely summarized in the caption under the picture which comes before any of its text:

"Engineering ethics are mostly technical: how to design properly, how to not cut corners, and how to serve our clients well."

Congratulations, you have utterly and perfectly- without wasting materials!- demonstrated why such articles are necessary. In case it's not crystal clear yet, an oath like that would do nothing to encourage an Aaron Swartz or an Ed Snowden.
Oh, I misunderstood you; I thought you were referring to the master password of LastPass as being plain-text or reversibly encrypted. You mean that the passwords stored by LastPass must be reversibly encrypted on disk. Yes, that's true. Password managers do open the door for such an attack, but they tend to be much less vulnerable to attacks in general than reusing the same passwords. Of course, it's really up to each person to decide what risks are acceptable in the trade-off between convenience and security.

I think the main point was that a password manager would have been much less susceptible to the keylogger attack which lead to this particular incident.
