YouTube can stream from outside of my WiFi network at 720p or 1080p, streaming within it shouldn't be a problem. Pushing the codec pieces far enough down the stack that they're done by hardware will be the bottleneck.

Crasher, WarZ, those are the two I can think of off hand.
It's a she, but I agree with the rest of what you said :)
H.264 imposes a few seconds of lag to get to that sort of compression ratio with acceptable quality. Good for movies, not so good for games.
War Z is the only one I heard of. The game in question is Rome Total War II. It is from a more reputable publisher even though they apologized for the bugs and I waited for the first patch to solve this very well known issue.
I save very often using :w. When I want to save and exit my brain is now hard-wired to do :wq. It would probably take a year for me to train myself to use :x, which is arguably just as slow since I have to reach down with my ring finger instead of up. Not saying anyone should switch, just that it would be hard for me to do so.
This rather interesting, but harmless paper is getting blown way out of proportion in this article. All they do is see who is returning information, and make hypothesis about the demographics of those people. Their methodology is very clearly explained in the article "using this threshold allowed us to record only the presence or absence of text entered, not the keystrokes or content."

Furthermore, and somewhat amusingly, "a summer intern conducted this work." Thus, it was mostly a summer project, researching demographics about people who started to comment and then stopped.

They put forth 7 major hypothesis:

1) posts will be censored more than comments
2) men will self-censor more than women
3) users with more opposite-sex friends will self-censor more
4) younger users will self-censor less
5) users with older friends will censor more
6) users who more frequently used audience selection tools self-censor less
7) users with more diverse friends will self-censor more

All of these are interesting questions based in a large amount of literature that they could uniquely address and answer with the data that they had. Recording whether or not users enter and then remove data is honestly relatively unimportant. Yes, websites taking user data without asking is an invasion of privacy, but I think this sort of article represents a type of knee jerk alarmism and exaggeration that can be incredibly hurtful to efforts to use data Facebook has available to answer interesting questions about human interaction. It also, furthermore, represents a purposeful misreading of the article, which is journalistically questionable.

If you want to read the article for yourself you can find it at https://www.facebook.com/publications/493601774027388/.

We are already paying a premium for subsidized food. From what I understand Big agri is very subsidized and smaller producers are not. That means a portion of the price premium (the spread) is not a real production cost, but just a lack of subsidies that competitors receive.

If BigAgriBusinesA receives more $ (on a per unit produced basis) than SmallAgriBusinessB , then there is a price spread that is not due to efficiency, but due to meddling by the gov't in the market.

Also, if premium food does in fact lead to premium health, then one might argue its cheaper to eat premium food than the total bill of cheaper food + additional health costs. This may not work for organic kale vs reg kale, but just might for potato chips vs reg kale.

GitHub took it down because shit like that makes it hard for women to do their jobs, and github is about getting work done.

It's also not terribly funny. Or rather, it would have been funny in the heyday of the constellation of academic disciplines now colloquially known as 'subaltern studies'. But that heyday was some time ago now, and it survives only in the Republican trust of bogeymen. Sorry, bogeywomen. Trust me, I have unemployed professor friends.

But let's be honest. Read the thing. It's not feminism that is in question, it is the dictum that your freedom to swing your fist ends at my nose -- or in this case, the right of you and your brethren to swing your d*cks in the face of the female colleagues you work beside.

This alone should have blocked your launch. Crypto done right is innately pluggable, by virtue of being composable primitives.

I'm also pretty curious to know how you're deriving keys from the users passwords. How is the exchange of key material handled?

The pad is much more than they need for the Falcon 9, which is what they plan on crew rating in the near future. From what I understand, the pad is overkill even for the Falcon Heavy. Using it for the Falcon Heavy could still be possible though, and that could potentially include manned launches. I suspect SpaceX is really interested in the pad for the planned MCT.
Yes. Regardless of the content, GitHub violated our constitutional right to freedom of expression. Just because you don't like what someone is saying, that does not necessarily make it wrong or bad, they have just as much to offend you as you do to offend them. I would highly recommend anyone who is currently using GitHub to switch to another version control system, as GitHub is most likely reading your emails, censoring your search results, and selling your information to proprietary software companies like Apple and Microsoft.

Doesn't "a decent amount of memory foam on the top" greatly reduce the breathability of the spring that you say is so important?
I think it comes to this: Java > JavaScript. But Java programmer < JavaScript programmer, due to culture. (ex: Spring, Maven, EJB light).

If Java programmer is true polyglot, then whatever tool you are using wins. That's why C programmers are the best.
Advertising is often about "building brand awareness". You can't be sure that there is an acceptable ROI, just an expectation that there will be. Often companies will burn through investors' money trying to reach "critical mass". But no ad agency is going to dissuade the client management's false expectations.

It's often said "half the money spent on advertising doesn't work ...", e.g. http://staff.washington.edu/gray/misc/which-half.html

There's a big BIG difference between expression and directly trying to create animosity.

These are things that become more apparent as you mature. I honestly can't fathom why someone would waste time creating such a crude concept instead of something genuinely useful.
Absolutely.

I don't really understand the reaction to this. People are saying it's harassment, and it makes fun of rape victims, but that is not at all what I took from it.

It's simply making fun of ideas and reasoning in radical feminism, and applying them to concepts in programming. This is partly in response to a feminist talking about a "feminist programming language", and also a satire on what happened on Node.JS about the use of a gendered pronoun.

I am aware that they mentioned rape, but I think this is a reference to the feminists loose classification of rape. One thing that immediately stands out to me is the contradictions, which again seems to be a reference to many radical feminists. I recall a "I need feminism because..." picture with a woman holding up a sign which read "I need feminism because no means no, but yes doesn't always mean yes."

I think a lot of people just don't 'get' it, because they don't like being made fun of.

Even if it was the most vile, distasteful, and offensive thing I have ever read, I still would condemn Github for taking it down, as free speech is binary - either all of it is okay, or none of it is okay. You don't get to decide what's okay, because once you decide something isn't okay, there's a billion reasons why everything else isn't okay that remain consistent with your original reasoning.
I would say "don't feed the trolls" but its already way too late for that. I guess I'm waiting for the next Verge/TechCrunch article.
You seem to believe that Github should be taking down things because "it makes it hard ... to get work done." Okay. Suppose you have some Republicans who want hosting on Github (yay Github Pages!) and they support some initiative which also, in your opinion, hinders "getting work done", for women or otherwise. Perhaps they very-publicly oppose a mandatory child-care provision in some proposed legislation, and write it on their page.

Should that be taken down too? If not, why does it differ?

What if they're hosting a website for someone, and that someone makes a public statement which is interpreted as misogynistic and wrong - e.g. Todd Akin uses Github Pages for his general campaign, and posts a defense of his nonsense about "legitimate rape". Should Github take that down?
Oh, and also, BitBucket? I may be a woman, but I am also calling the shots in my workplace, and I'm about to go find another provider. Your free repos were nice, but this isn't. So.
Well not much can be said without being assaulted by a horde of angry feminists and white knights, but I personally found the repository hilarious.

But to answer your question, Github did not break my trust by removing this, because this is what I would expected Github to do. I'm not naive enough to think that most people have enough common sense on this planet.

Not so much a comment on the thesis, but the actual "research" is missing and it would improve the essay if it was actually presented. Even in a synopsis. Its a shame, as the The only link is to the "forthcoming book" on Amazon.

My research, involving in-depth conversations with hundreds of unemployed job seekers, indicates that no group of workers is more committed to contributing to a company that gives them a chance to prove their value than older workers who have been long-term unemployed.

Importantly, while some employers fear that older workers will not sticking around, my research suggests the opposite is more likely. It’s worth considering whether, in fact, it is younger workers in their 20s and 30s who are more likely to be actively searching for opportunities to move across jobs in an effort to develop a portfolio of marketable skills and experiences. Older workers are really looking for a company where their considerable skills and experiences are valued and can make a difference.

One concern tha jumps out (i'm sure to many) is the reference to a measurement of "future comittment", which seems at best unpredictable. Take, for example the divorce rate amongst newlyweds. His methodology may indeed be wide-rangingly useful (assuming its good), but we don't get a sense of it here. It does seem, in any event, that the HR heuristics at BigCos these days are apparently shallow.
It is simply a matter of perception. If one perceives, for instance, evidence of government surveillance programs being abused, and chooses to censor this information, this is wrong and goes against the greater good of GNU/America.
I don't think Github is honor-bound to let people use their service to be divisive or hurtful (and it is hurtful to make a joke that boils down to "you people sound so ridiculous when you're asking for fair treatment"). They have a great niche as a venue for technical collaboration; they're not obligated to also be Reddit.

Rather than spending money "defending" your leaders, wouldn't it be better if you addressed the issues and actually figured out why people want to cause harm to their leaders?

You know, many developed countries don't even have a security force for their leaders, and for example, the ex-Prime Minister of Australia went jogging all the time by himself, in whatever city he happens to be in.
Art can be interpreted in may ways. Just because the author reads it one way doesn't mean it was the intent.
I'm just trying to clarify this here. I haven't seen any statement from BitBucket for or against this repository, so... What specifically has BitBucket done wrong, exactly, that you are ending your business relationship with them (informal as it is)?
Are you sure about that? As I understand it you usually don't want to have more than 4-5 B-frames in a row. And if you use baseline profile you eliminate B-frames and can cut the latency to be less than a frame.

A 47-Year-Old Prediction Comes True
If you're considering doing something potentially disruptive, especially politically, then I agree that Github isn't the place to do that. However, this repository isn't political speech in any serious sense. The whole thing is a troll, and I think Github locking the repo makes sense from a forum-moderator point of view.
Gee, it sounds awful. On recent tax reform:
"Especially surprising was the lack of opposition from the upper strata of Uruguayan society, who would almost assuredly pay more taxes as a result of the reforms.... There are few associations or organizations that unite the country’s elite even today, and Uruguay’s political parties tend to develop broad “catch-all” coalitions that refrain from aligning to closely with the wealthy and alienating the majority of voters. Thus, the economic elite tend to have very weak influence on political decision making, including tax reforms." http://www.wilsoncenter.org/publication/Uruguay_Taxation_201...

I think it's offensive to women to imply that they aren't capable of handling some feminist satire. Both men and women are targets of satire ALL THE TIME. Homer Simpson and Peter Griffin are portrayed as the 'typical father' are irresponsible uneducated alcoholics. Do you honestly think this gives me a good reason to be crying to the television companies about how hard they're making it for me to watch TV?

You would probably like to think that you believe men and women are equal, but you clearly do not, because you insist on treating them like overly-sensitive children.
