Well first off, if you don't have a copyright (which it doesn't sound like you do) - no, there's no purpose. A copyright is actual legal material which you have to apply for, just like a patent (http://www.copyright.gov/forms/). However whether this is worth it or not depends on the nature of what you're putting up online.

Now about the copyright symbol itself:

http://inventors.about.com/od/copyrights/a/CopyrightNotice.h...

"A copyright notice or copyright symbol is an identifier placed on copies of the work to inform the world of copyright ownership. While use of a copyright notice was once required as a condition of copyright protection, it is now optional. Use of the copyright notice is the responsibility of the copyright owner and does not require advance permission from, or registration with the Copyright Office."

"... in the event that a work is infringed, if a proper notice of copyright appears on the published copy or copies to which a defendant in a copyright infringement suit had access, then no weight shall be given to such a defendant's defense based on innocent infringement."
Email linked to my GitHub profile, so I would say by searching. But that's an assumption.
Is is a very interesting research paper. Sort of something we're trying to do with this: http://getpredikt.wordpress.com/2013/12/13/predikt-aggregate...
Caffeine is only a mild diuretic, and only for those who haven't built a tolerance to it. You're right though, Caffeine sure does have side-effects, especially withdrawal effects.
Even so, there are a lot of people using the mining pools. One pool I looked at has 43 Megahashes/s and doge.cryptopool.it has 232 Mh/s going.
Definitely. Structures are data grouped together, classes are that plus you can define functions to implicitly operate on their contents (also known as methods), extend them, etc. Then it becomes even easier to move onto C++.
Looks like it's still 3.2 based: http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64
I think smarter usage of IAM roles would have also helped here. Keys created strictly for S3 access should not have the ability to launch new instances and so on. Limiting keys to their specific purpose is a good security practice even for dev environments.
I don't. But that still does not really give any indication about the effects of the combination.
Unreliable cpus and memory: The end result of Moore’s law?
This was public relations, plain and simple. Paint Snowden like a weirdo, ask softball question after softball question, give vague hints about the scary threats that deem this all necessary, and blindly trust the answers of the guy in charge of the entire operation, as if he had no incentive whatsoever to mislead anyone. Then wrap it all up with "Just how did we get this access that no other news agency could?" Gee, maybe it has something to do your extensive track record of reporting any story without even a shred of investigation into it's veracity.
Falls under let the magic market handle it, I asked for something outside that.
Carriers are for "power projection", not necessarily for warfare with nation-states.

The U.S. has treaty obligations requiring the ability to respond militarily to crises in Europe and Asia and so the requirement to be able to project power is basically enshrined in law. But most other countries want, at most, to be regional hegemons and so don't need a deep carrier capability.

So with that in mind it's still unclear what China plans to do exactly with their carrier. Presumably they will build some more, but they will never put it in combat against the USN (who have ample capability to destroy the carrier aircraft in the skies, and the carrier itself). But it's an awfully expensive fleet to maintain just to piss off Taiwan or Japan.

Amphetamine is a dopamine agonist with downstream effects that inhibit the reuptake of monoamines and trace amines. Dopamine agonists and monoamine reuptake inhibitors cause tolerance and withdrawal. Cessation after chronic use at prescribed doses will cause a rebound of apathy and inability to focus.
You clearly didn't know him personally. Although I didn't, I know people who did, and, trust me, he probably would have made the bet either way. ;)
Obligatary on-topic comment: seems like a lot of code for a not a lot of result; I would like to see templates (with optional template parms) used to provide the 'usual' values.
(yes I know templates aren't C, but you can use them minimalistically since they're orthogonal to the rest of C++.)

See the discussion above. :) Prime number sequences are unlikely to be "useful" in the same sense as protein folding.
Russia maybe?
Disney, as usual, is the idiotic one in this case. Amazon admitted fault and gave a large credit. The OP should just torrent the movie if it really was interfering with his plans (although ignoring Disney is a better choice). While my kids (5 & 7) are content to use Netflix and Amazon most of the time[1], they know a full download is only a quick search away. To them there's no real difference except a slight inconvenience.

Explaining why Netflix only shows certain shows depending on proxy status (quick colored icons in Chrome), and why sometimes they'll force a show in Spanish or Portuguese and not English, and why other times they force subtitles -- it comes off as insane.

1: My main gripe with Netflix is the lack of parental controls. I'd love to be able to stupid kids show. I'd prefer them watching 16+ rated movies with good plot than some of the junk that's churned out for "kids". That and the fact that rendering quality/control is sub-par.
The U.K. and France both have SSBNs. Russia did, and are at least building more, but I'm not sure if their SSBN fleet continued operating after the Cold War ended. China is developing an SSBN fleet if they haven't already (and they do have other nukes).

I think ICBM capability is the big question. Russia undoubtedly has it, and it's fair to say China probably does to. I'm not sure if the U.K. or France ever bothered to develop ballistic missiles to mate with their warheads but France at least could rather easily do it with their existing spacelift infrastructure.
I was watching Planes, Trains and Automobiles the other day and much of the whole plot would not exist with modern tech.

Also, horror movies have a hard time now as well. For some reason they have to be so far away as to get no reception or in some sort of zone that won't allow it.

I think Under the Dome highlights this a bit as well.

But there are new plot lines and possibilities. At least flip phones have been removed from modern tv and movies, and computers/devices are at least more accurately represented.
Eh, they get to solidly blame Disney, and they issued a "generous credit". Violating Disney's copyright on a commercial scale could possibly result in criminal actions. I doubt anyone at Amazon wants to risk a felony to keep some customers happy.
It's called churnalism and unfortunately it's not going away.
Keynote I Love You (But You're Bringing Me Down)
There is only one fix - storage is cheap, so everything I've should get ripped to a DRM free format stored locally (and backed up), where nothing can ever 'take it back'. If it's not a rental, then nothing should prevent my access to that content. Definitely not the wishes of the content provider - their rights to control that copy ended at the first sale. Want to shut down some online service? Want to go bankrupt and cease operations? Not valid reasons for me to lose my content.

I've got music on vinyl from my grandfather. Even if copyright goes/stays de facto eternal, I see no reason why I shouldn't pass on all to my grandchildren all the music, books and movies that I ever bought, even if I got them as nonphysical files.
In the highest income quintile, 35% of respondents are independent, 32% republican, and 30% democratic. I said that high income is not a good predictor of party affiliation. If you are in the top income quintile, you are almost equally likely to be independent, republican or democratic; how is income predictive of party affiliation?
Well. I think it's time I stop checking legit outlets before going to piracy.

So much hassle. So much bullshit.
I think most interesting blogs are written in the most boring setting - when author is not distracted, just crafts content for hours in the comfort of their living room.
So this may be fun for sharing shortlived experiences, but likely worthless for good reads.

No, either version alone solved the problem just fine. It was just when some people had one version, and other people had another version, that the problem arose. The solution was actually to revert to the older version. The new version wasn't buggy, but had made a small and intentional change to the protocol.

So what it showed was that it's hard to reach consensus between two groups who aren't running the same protocol. Bitcoin is pretty conservative about protocol changes for this reason, though they've worked on getting better at managing it.
I still don't understand how it solves it. I get that you can agree a time, but how does it solve the problem that each general needs to be certain that all the other generals are also certain? I may have seen a completed block chain for the attack and time, but how do I know all the other generals have also seen it? I know they signed part of it, but how do I know the completed chain then got back to them? If it didn't they're not going to attack and my army will be destroyed.
If the author experienced this personally. he should probably have paid more attention to what Corey Doctorow has been saying in recent years.

In the US, you do not need to apply to the Copyright Office to be granted the copyright. You get it implicitly when the work is "fixed in a tangible medium of expression".
I suppose beta blockers are prescription only in most countries? Been reading up on them, sounds like they would come in handy during a job interview or something.
bitcoins are definitely fungible. They are interchangeable, of equal value, and sub-dividable.

Fungibility does not require that all parts be identical, only of equal value and utility.

Also, regardless of whether you find bitcoin useful, clearly others do. And several hours for confirmation of a borderless, nearly fee-less, irreversible financial transaction certainly falls with the bounds of "easily transferrable" for me.

I'm not really sure what the point of your contrarian position is. Seems just that... contrarian.
The Vedic tradition is typically an oral one. It takes about 3hrs to recite the Padhuka Sahasram.

That's all well and good, but it doesn't change the fact that the saitre is meant to make you laugh, whereas political commentary is meant to express a view.

One may do the other, but to lump them together is a grave mistake.

Nobody rents a house and then go around using the word "own" and "buy" when describing their access to the house.

There is a difference btw "buying" and "renting" and most people know the difference.Renting is usually accompanied with reoccurring payments while buying usually entails a one time payment and i think the fundamental disconnect is here.

These kinds of confusion will go away when people start using proper terms to describe possession of entities they exchange money for,that PS4 you got by exchanging money for,you dont "own" it,you "rented" it from sony and as a renter,you are to use it only as they allow you to.

The fact that you rented it with a one time upfront payment does not mean you bought/purchased it.These tech journalists will do people a favor if they start explaining this distinction to people.

ps:
not hating on sony or PS4,just used them as an example,it could be anything especially if its in digital form.
Yes. Put them in front of a group of young college students that have had time to hone their critical thinking skills, instead of government media shills, and you will get a very different perspective.
Amphetamines and opiates have a rather small side effect profile if you're otherwise in good health. If you're not prone to psychosis or heart issues and not "abusing" amphetamines, there shouldn't be much problem. Same for opiates: apart from constipation, they're a near-complete win. People perform better at intellectual tasks when using opiates due to feeling better overall.

It's not fair to compare antipsychotics and other drugs to "fix" mental instability - those have terrible side effects. The newer ones are better overall, although with major but rare side effects like you mentioned, as well as SJS (~skin falls off). Basics, such as amphetamines, are not nearly as risky or screwed up as the psych drugs.
I also wonder what impact Quantum Computing would have on Bitcoin. I'm pretty sure NSA uses it already.
It's ISO certified and AFAIK it's just Ubuntu (previously Debian) with some bells and whistles.
I'm not so sure I believe that. Is there some kind of game theory argument that shows this? I find it hard to believe that taking "just shy of ... lethal" dosages is a Nash equilibrium here, once you factor in risk of death in the payoff matrix.
This is a really cool map. The controls accessible by clicking "earth" let you select different projections and heights to show measurements from.

It's been windy and snowy around the Great Lakes in Canada lately, and it looks like you can still see the winds associated with that system.
I've been wondering about the impact on the network when the end of bitcoins that can be mined comes within sight. Is the computational load going to be taken over by centralized wallet stores like Coinbase?
Model Y is gonna be a three-wheeler.
Yes, they keep saying that as if all the collected data wasn't already "looked at" through keyword alerts or similar systems, or that they wouldn't give themselves permission to look manually at someone's data anyway.

Also last I checked, the 4th Amendment prohibits unreasonable searches (I would think searching/fishing for elements in the data through autonomous systems, is still called "searching", no?) and seizures (i.e. collections).

I disagree. I've written code to modify how emacs runs for me. I've never customised any other editor or IDE with the same ease of emacs - and I say this as an IDE slut - I'll use everything and anything.

That said, an emacs rewrite in Clojure is a wet-dream of mine (emacs like goodness with the ability to use modern GUI libraries, ANTLR parsers etc... and speed!)
Lifesaver 0.1.0 has been released
I've been doing an interesting experiment related to this. For the past month, I took either 200 mg Modafinil (Generic) or 150 mg Armodafinil (Nuvigil). I noticed no increase or decrease in my productivity. However, my mood was noticeably improved with both. I became more sociable than normal, which surprised some of my co-workers (usually I'm quite reserved / absorbed with coding during my day to day). I also was able to see certain novel patterns I wouldn't have before. It's hard to describe this: it's almost like my brain was bringing to the surface memories that were relevant to helping me solve a particular problem.
I think another way to frame this question could be "What are people misusing excel for at work?" You might be surprised at how many companies are running all of their business off of excel. You could disrupt a lot of industries by building something better than excel for them.
Ritalin seems to be second best to amphetamines. It feels heavier on the body, and doesn't provide any euphoria to overcome the rush of thinking so fast. Ritalin seems to wear you out quicker than amphetamines.

Modafinil seems to vary significantly by person. I don't get any effect from it, but other people seem to prefer it as there's no powerful effects like Ritalin/amphetamines. It's quite understandable people might prefer something lower-key than amphetamines.

Ones that aren't mentioned are opiates. While not smart drugs in the sense of directly improving cognition, the reduction in pain and stress can end up providing a huge positive effect on tasks.
> I wonder if the author is going to be on the hook for the bill for this.

Almost certainly not. I've seen AWS reverse charges even when it's unequivocally the user's fault rather than someone hacking in.

As an example, I launched two reserved instances outside of a VPC when I meant to launch inside a VPC. At the time, this couldn't be changed, and the docs were very clear on that. After filing a support ticket, they reversed the reservations... and gave me a $100 AWS credit. For my fuck-up.
For me, this is probably the most worrisome evidence of the current state of the government. I know FDR said there is nothing to fear but fear itself, but I fear nothing more than the wizard of oz, and I fear the wizard and NSA are one and the same. Back to programming this stuff scares the crap out of me.
A year or two ago I got a Vudu capable device and poked around in their video rental and "purchasing" options. Same thing. In the fine print they retain the right to suspend access to any "purchased" content for, essentially, any reason or any length of time.

Unlike some others, I do blame Amazon for this. Amazon knows what the average person thinks the word "buy" (instead of rent) means, and then acts distinctly counter to that understanding. It's a bad-faith action.
> If someone in the NSA abuses his powers, it is very likely that nobody will ever know.

But this claim is only a concern if an analyst can unilaterally abuse his power and never be caught. Are you saying this type of surveillance capability would then be acceptable if proper accountability and oversight safeguards can be emplaced?

If anything this should be one of the easier things in the world to do, putting audit trails on computerized systems is hardly "pro league" stuff.

But either way, you say that the consequences will at least be public in other scenarios. But that's not really true either. People get shot every day in this country; how do you know that any given shooting wasn't from a soldier? How do you know when the government lets a contract that they actually fully complied with the Federal Acquisition Regulations? How do you know that when a Congressman votes against his normal voting habits, whether that vote was due to his conscience or due to someone else's wallet? How do you know that when the NSF gives one scientist a grant and refuses another, that it was done in the public interest?

You don't know any of this, as a rule, and yet many of those are much more impactful on the average citizen, even if we assume the existence of lapses in oversight.

As far as I can tell with government IT, your data will always be at more risk of being leaked to cybercriminals via hacking or stupidity (the latter has happened to me already!), than be at risk of being looked at by a rogue NSA agent.

Anecdote: I know someone that was using Ritalin in conjunction with heavy workouts. They loved it and reported far better performance. But I convinced them they really needed to consider the possible health issues of straining your body while on stimulants.
How did Nixon taking the dollar off the gold standard change where France keeps it's gold reserves? Do you mean their standard policy was to convert all dollars received into gold?

Doesn't pretty much every major country still keep some fraction of its gold reserves in the basement of the NY Federal Reserve?
The mission statement of CYBERCOM in a nutshell is contained in this article: "By defeating US satellites and attacking US networks, one bypasses geography and eliminates technology, both that of the military and within the industrial base that is at the core of that military might. "
That's like people that say "I don't need alcohol/drugs/sex/whatever to have a good time. Why can't we listen to music and play Parcheesi?"

Why not both?
African americans are the most politically homogeneous ethnic group; to say that one race (~14% of the population) can be a reliable predictor of affiliation, does not imply that all races are equally correlated to parties. If a measure accurately predicts less than 20% of outcomes, I would not declare it to be 'good'.

Section 9 of this paper addresses race and party affiliation best.[1] If you look at the graph of white (non-hispanic) affiliation, you can see that 38% are independent, 32% republican, and 26% are democratic.

You may have also read the table which exposits the racial composition of the various partisan groups, but this does not address race a as a predictor of political stance or vice versa.
