I think the spread of support is less clear. I vaguely recall some survey a few months back that posed a carefully-phrased question along the lines of "ISPs should do more to control what children see online (agree/ disagree)" and the support from Guardian readers was clearly in favour (can't rememeber the percentage).

There's a split in the Conservative party about infantilising adults - you just have to read ConservativeHome to see that. I would go as far to say that a majority of activists dislike what Cameron is being seen to do with the ISPs.

Contrast his current actions with his words several years ago: http://order-order.com/2007/11/24/cameron-we-are-libertarian...

I feel he's dangerous because he doesn't espouse an ideology. He doesn't offer a sense of where he wants to take the country - just wherever the newspaper headlines will take him. It might most kindly be described as a misguided sense of noblesse oblige.

Sorry, but I don't belive that. We are still using light, for a start.

We've ended More's law, and we are on the limit on how small we can create a usefull MOSFET. But there's still margin to improve, it's "just" harder now.
Yes, I'm guilty of that too. The main reason I don't take more courses is the time it takes to take them. I've taken 3 courses (databases, algorithms I & II), and they were all great, but required a lot of work. So while I'm tempted to sign up for more, I need to have the time available to take them too. This is similar to buying books, but not having the time to read them (something I'm guilty of as well ;-))

I wrote about the courses I took. Here's about the last one: http://henrikwarne.com/2013/02/18/coursera-algorithms-course...
I have to agree with the other posters, this response is disappointing. The initial concern the other posters have is obviously the lack of a secure default.

Now i've known about this for quite some time and I mostly use DO for development and testing Chef recipes so I don't have an issue with it being off by default. I love the transparent $5 pricing. But I also don't store sensitive information on DO, yet. I also assumed when I was a newbie any sensitive info would be deleted.

The easiest option would be to include a notice next to that checkbox that if there was any sensitive information you should select this option. I understand that SSD wiping would drive up your costs. Another option would be to switch to mechanical hard drives. I don't how easy that option is with your setup.
A friend of mine used to work for one of these paid content agencies. Her job was to set up a few Wordpress blogs a day while writers filled them with content. Apparently, among their clients were lots of large companies. It seems, though, that after Google's crackdown on duplicate/fake content etc. they had to take a massive hit in revenues. They've since let most of their employees go and have - so far not very successfully - been looking for a new business model.

I think you missed the point. Rich powerful people live in a bubble and poor people get treated like crap, but have no power to do anything about it. The bubble itself isn't what the author criticises, it's the strong sense of entitlement that it encourages.

The article was well written and thoughtful. It pointed to a plausible cultural phenomenon using well thought out examples, made personal through the writer's own life story. You can agree with it or disagree, the things it discusses are very much open to interpretation. It is, after all, an article written by an artist, not a scientific survey. However, you chose to insult the author and that really only reflects badly on you. Consider the following points:

1) Calling the author "miss" in what is clearly meant to be an insult strongly suggests that you are sexist. It implies that being female is reason alone for intellectual belittlement. If you genuinely have gone through your whole life without noticing that one gender is not mentally superior to the other then you must be unbelievably dense.

2) The term "liberal" relates to opinions on personal freedoms. It doesn't have anything to do with the content of the article. Perhaps you meant "liberal arts major". Either way, this particular word is generally used to imply a bias on the part of the author. Since you don't really point out any concrete examples of bias, (you don't even seem to have understood the content of the article), in this context, this word probably just means "I disagree with the opinions and personal values of the author". Which I wouldn't consider an insult, given my opinion of you so far.

3) If you had used the word "socialist" instead of "liberal" then maybe you might have come a tiny step closer to making a coherent argument. The article does actually represent a socialist viewpoint. However, that word alone isn't really an insult, unless meant to imply a bias, as discussed above.

4) "Hissyfitpants" implies that the author was angry when she wrote the article. Moreover, it belittles her anger as being illegitimate and trivial. If the author had been angry about how rich people are treated at airports, then I suppose that would have been quite trivial. However, the tone of the article is measured and not at all angry. Also, the author is not critical of how rich people are treated at airports. She talks personally about how it feels to be treated differently and extrapolates from that about how the culture, values and attitudes of the rich have diverged from the rest of the population. I'm guessing your reading comprehension isn't great.

5) The insult should have been capitalised since the word "miss" implies that it is meant to be a name.
The C64 had a 6510 (later 8510) that is different from the 6502 pretty much only in that it had 8 general purpose IO lines, some of which were used for bank switching (to map the ROMs in and out of memory over the RAM), and some for the tape connector at least. I don't remember what all 8 lines were used for.

They're pin-compatible enough that in some devices you can swap them around and get things to work (e.g. putting a 6510 in a 1541 has a decent chance of working unless the GPIO pin register clobbers something important in the 1541 memory map; with the reverse you'll at least have problems, though a 6502 in a C64 might work if you only run things like cartridges and/or put the right voltage on the right pins to map the ROMs into place).

Also, the Amiga 500 keyboard had a 6502 compatible CPU with built in PROM and RAM as well (MOS 6570).
I'm having a slow brain day and I can't for the life of me work out what this is for. The website itself is too cool to deign to explain anything.

Do stuff as much as possible and focus on the output, e.g. look for quantity over quality. [0] It's important to have the proper mindset, so you have to learn how to ignore the frustration and how to fight your ego. The paradox here is that if you follow this approach, at the end you start producing more and more quality work.

Deliberately replicate other people's work. With the time you'll start noticing different patterns and trends and build on top of them your own ideas.

> Lots of "wrong people" get killed in all wars.

Except there's not really a war. There's just poorly-targeted killing, or let's just call it what it is, murder.

Weddings, funerals and restaurants are not war zones.

If you know are in a war zone, you can at least do your best to avoid it or flee as a war refugee. Should all citizens start fleeing all countries being targeted by drones?
> We don't make nukes with aid money.

Of course, money is fungible.
Considering the economic defintion of a natural monopoly, deregulation would be the wrong path to go down. Instead, we should see more regulation like that of "last mile" and caps on or forced wholesale pricing.

I was working on creating an MVNO (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_virtual_network_operator) at one point but after crunching the numbers we decided (among other reasons) not to pursue it further. We were looking at handing over about 80% of turnover, even with fairly good laws in place (EU). On top of that, the contracts we were looking at where all based on bundling of services (i.e. XX amount of data, minutes and texts) which would have made our business more of a game of demand estimation. We could perhaps have gotten a small margin if we could estimate what our users would use of services better than what we paid for them wholesale. This has also led to the unfortunate business strategy of most MVNOs around here where they look for a quick exit by being bought out by the infrastructure owner when they have gotten enough customers. Few make it into into black numbers before that.
I hate to be "that guy" but:

>All the people who got pushed into extremely bad mortgages and then lost their jobs because the economy crashed; they were stolen from by Rich People.

Those people share at least the majority of the blame for this. A bank does not put a gun to your head and force you to sign an ARM for a house you really can't afford.

I'd call it 60/40 blame. 60 clueless people, 40 banking sector shenanigans.

Remember that if either side hadn't done what they did, the crisis probably wouldn't have happened.

So you're going with the "Everything came from the caveman's need for fire" argument it sounds like. Unarguably true if you want to reduce that far.

I still don't think you can come up with a logical example of Genetics being a war tool (yet) though. Yes Medicine has benefited from war time progress in many ways. But Medicine is not Genetics. While Genetics may be part of medicine (squares are rectangles but rectangles are not squares). All of the things you mentioned (surgery, rehab, prosthesis, etc) were practical medical applications for the battlefield, while Genetics was not created for or applicable to such things (although it has seen more recent attempts to apply it in that fashion).

Also business machines can easily be tied to war. IBM + Nazi Germany.

Finally challenge need not come exclusively from war. For instance using my example of Genetics, the challenge of explaining how traits are passed (or any sufficiently broad challenge), and being the first one to come up with it (scooping people and stealing their work to do so: Rosalyn Franklin) can drive people as well.

I don't disagree that war pushes innovation in any way. To say such a thing would be naive and ignorant of history. But it is not the only game in town.

Furthermore, it's a little bit odd that when Mozilla explores that space with a new language, it's the hottest thing since sliced bread on HN, but this here gets drowned in snark. At the same time, the discussions on reddit (of all places!) are way more focused, technical and objective.
Such easy talk when the war is fought on another continent than the ones responsible for it.

That's the whole point, and drones make this divide even larger.

"We all know war is hell"--No, we don't. Because we're not actually there.

Just because they're not in the US, or US citizens, doesn't mean they're not human beings, with families and a desire to be free from danger, happy, healthy and comfortable.

How can you even begin to make such arguments from the comfort of your desk chair, about people on the other side of the world being attacked by your flying robots? Oh, how aware you must be of the shitty situation they're in!
That Wikipedia link seems to support the claim that lighthouses actually failed to operate well without government intervention:

"Eventually, all these rights were withdrawn or bought up by the authorities because the total light dues that had to be paid by ships were too high as a result of rent-seeking activities of these so-called private providers of lighthouses. Barnett and Block (2007) qualify these critiques by showing that private lighthouses are possible, but do not show up in the historical record."

The timing of this article - occurring right in the middle of TPP negotiations - is highly suspect ..

Is this some sort of agitprop designed to make the disgusting provisions of the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement (a truly vile development) somehow more palatable to the Western world? The TPP, if ratified by the Indian government, will give American and European Pharmaceutical companies near-complete control over the pricing of their drugs in the Asian theatre - which would be a most heinous development if it goes through, because it will undermine the sovereign rights of these governments to protect their people.
Given that 90% of operations don't touch the network at all, I'm not sure how that counts as absolute fail. With the exception of doing an initial clone on a connection that's so slow and unreliable that "clone --depth 1" doesn't work, I can't think how git would stop a remote developer from working, only how it would help them...
It's the little, seemingly unnecessary complications, like http://bitflop.com/document/111

If there was awk, sed, find which did the same thing but were significantly easier to use, I would complain about them. At least if I was forced to use them.

WDC, run by Bill Mensch, the "other" 6502 designer next to Chuck Peddle, claims on their website hundreds of millions of licensed 6502-compatible cores per year from WDC alone (though it's not backed up by anything, and it's not clear how current that claim is, but it doesn't seem impossible given the presumed price point for volume license), which would put it near the top of the top 10 CPU architectures by core volume (ARM is in the 3 billion range apparently; Power/PPC, MIPS and x86 in the 300-500 million range) still. Quite amazing.

> Ahem. What on earth are you talking about?

Nothing I've written says that there aren't people who shun such fallacy and always think critically. However, there are a great deal of people who use Krugman as a crutch in thought and in citations, especially due to the prize. If you're not one of them, good for you. My underlying point is pretty simple. Here's a parallel so we're not focused on Krugman.

End-of-the-world predictors, and the like, sometimes recant about being wrong too and may joke about it. What do we take from this? Being wrong about matters that are painfully obvious is of valid consideration, especially when judging future patterns of unsubstantiated claims in the same domains. We mustn't forget the grains of salt.

> Says who? You?

> And in any case, your iron-clad "argument" is a matter of opinion and nothing else.

First, let me repeat: I did get the story mix up and the ethical approach I am referring to doesn't quite apply in the current story.

> DO has a history of not responding to issues UNTIL they are publicly disclosed.

Does not matter what happen between DO and whitehats. If an OS command injection is discovered, even if DO has a history of not responding to security issues, the moment the vulnerability is discovered, a whitehat should alert DO privately first. If they ignore it again, then of course you can let the public know and let your zero-day exploit begin. Regarding this, public disclosure before private disclosure is unethical.
Did you really come away from that article thinking that the author expected the world to fall into her lap? She's an artist who has worked hard for her success but is humble about it. She uses her own experiences as an example to talk about social problems, unfairness and entitlement. How is that expecting the world to fall into her lap? Why should someone have to experience grinding poverty before it becomes reasonable to discuss the attitudes of the very wealthy? Do the very wealthy have to experience grinding poverty before we take their opinions seriously? Because last time I checked, money was still power.
Agreed which is why I mentioned 'total annihilation' of the enemy. But if you want to keep infrastructure or be able to exploit their resources after the war... You can't really do that. Its a decision that has to be made.

Modern (21st century) war in a semi-modern (early 20th century or earlier) vein would be hard to predict for a great many reasons. But thinking that the equation would work out the same seems pretty dicey to me.
> Welcome to the free market

While I consider myself a proponent of the free market, I think my work as a programmer blinds me to how much rent seeking underlies other high earning professions in the US. Doctors, lawyers, financiers, accountants don't really operate in a free market, rather they work in a system that is better understood as defined by laws. The reason all these fields (with exceptions for parts of medicine) are so lucrative, is because they have thrived in a system mandated or failing to be regulated by law. It is naive to think that said groups do not wish to sustain and propagate that privilege. Market adaption is an important force, but one that for all practical purposes exists within a framework society has created. I am expecting Americans to slowly get to terms with this reality as the economy recovers after long period of credit expansion and it dawns on more people that it has always mostly been a zero sum game.

EDIT: grammar
See my comment above. I agree on many points... But also see the possibility that 'total annihilation' in a pre-21st century sense of war may not be in the cards for numerous reasons.

>It's awfully hard to discern a point in this rambling piece.

The point is: its expensive being poor. The rich receive so many more benefits and rewards in their world, simply for the fact that they 'are rich' and thus 'have more potential' than the poor.

Until we realize that the poor are kept there by the wealthy, we'll never solve income-inequality in the world. Without such 'rich bubbles' existing in our society, there is no hope for us all to rise.
You forgot to mention the simple fact that there is no problem at all to be solved there, and the US entered the war with some entirely made up pretext to test new weapons, show the rest of the world it's ground military supremacy and protect corporate interests, like it has always been.

Of course it works. The filesystem knows which blocks the underlying storage device can forget and tell it using TRIM. That the content of the block was encrypted is irrelevant. TRIM is for putting blocks in some undefined state when no longer needed, not for zeroing them.

I've seen worse.

I had opted for a micro controller elective in a semester. We were only 6 guys in the whole class who did that. I discovered I was pretty good in Assembly language programming(8085) so it made more sense to study and work on that further.

The remain class opted for C++, on the day of the exam I was chatting with a girl as to well she had prepared. She tells she had prepared everything apart from classes(Note this is a C++ exam). I lost all appetite to continue the discussion further.

On a tangential note my cousin is in his 3rd semester currently. He tells me he did bulk of the engineering drawing my merely copy pasting CAD projects from seniors. And tells that's how nearly every one in his class is doing it.

I only imagine how this works at things like Medical courses. Do these kids really seriously study, or is our life all left to chance as to how much syllabus a person covered to score passing marks in the MBBS exams? Or how little they had to simply memorize to just claim qualifying marks to get a degree?
