It's opt-out for new devices.

I visited a friend's house for NYE and he let me have his WiFi details, the parental filter option kicked in immediately even though he'd already chosen to not opt-in. Every new device that was added (and there were a few, as we arrived as a party staying for a long weekend) had to go through the same opt-out process.

Therefore, and with only this limited exposure to the system, I would guess that the preference is stored by MAC address per BT customer.
I think their issues with the United Arab Emirates, India and Saudia Arabia regarding BlackBerry either moving servers or handing over encryption keys, tainted their reputation in that regard.

The whole thing got very confusing, the customers data might still be safe and secure, but it's not really an area where doubt and stories about the opposite are easily brushed over.
This isn't the kind of problem that policy is good at solving. This is a cultural issue: so long as people in general are conservative about what they want their kids to see, removing things from the block list will carry a political penalty for the remover.
> The government should not be in charge of what my children can or cannot read in my own home; I'm in charge of that, thank you very much.

That's exactly what this filter is though. It's not implemented by the government, it's an opt-out filter implemented by your ISP. If you want to use their defaults then it's there and free, if you want to allow access to everything then control it yourself then fine.

I don't think this should exist, but you're hurting the fight against it by not even bothering to check the most basic of facts.
"As long as the government is perceived as working for the benefit of the children, the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation."

It's my company phone and it requires a credit card (which i don't have).

I only use debit cards which they don't accept.

It's a personal choice but i shouldn't have to be forced to own a credit card to unlock my fking porn filter.

Did I mention anything i see on HN most certainly doesn't qualify as porn?

Does qualify as hacking though if technical blogs on device vulnerabilities or back doors are considered hacking.

I would qualify it as security research but that just another loose term the ISPs can play with to ban important information on potentially insecure devices.
Interesting. One question. How would I take advantage of this ? Are there special flags for the compiler or special memory allocator that I would need ? Do libraries like BLAS already account for this ?
Been doing IF every day since July 1, 2013. Before that I was eating slow-carb diet and had lost about 50lbs.

When I started doing IF, I was lifting pretty heavy and after the first week I had gained weight. I was pissed because I was hungry all the time it seemed, but I gained weight this week? Huh? Well, fast forward to now, and I put about 20 pounds since July 1, and yet I am not fatter. I am muscular. It's weird, and yes I was lifting, but fasting helped my body get from that chubby kid phase to, 'oh wow, I think I am almost ripped'. There are definitely some real benefits to fasting and no one will tell you that because they can't sell it to you in a pill.

Something really intriguing to me about fasting for 24hrs+ and then having to eat. For me, I crave healthy foods at that point and I also have the instinct to stuff my face and thus one meal/day works for that. It's tough to eat a bunch of crap when you are only eating once/day.

Finally, if you are interested in IF, I recommend reading up on Ori Hofmekler. He is the type of guy who's ideas are so crazy at first they are brushed off. Then science proves him right.

> those numbers are only for DNA. Because of that, I’m assuming that operator sales of smartphones are a biased sample

Correct! As far as I know DNA is a tiny player compared to the biggest operators TeliaSonera and Elisa. So these numbers don't have the handsets sold by Jolla's store. And they don't have iPhones sold by other operators or retailers. I think DNA numbers cover less than 10% of handset sales in Finland.
The point is that how emacs is broken down in modules is one of the least important things about emacs. I can draw a block diagram without a "software architecture" course, thank you. In software engineering, there are of minor usefulness most of the time, if of any.

There have to be persons that guide the overall development, sure, but this does not mean that those have to be "architects" living in a castle somewhere drawing those diagrams. The best "architects" are people with long experience in the trenches that know all the ins and outs, all the relevant theory, know the domain, and supervise it down to the nitty-gritty details. Linus Torvalds is a software architect for Linux, he doesn't do much coding anymore, but he isn't busy drawing diagrams without understanding the code really well either, he just is the person with the widest understanding of the whole project:

I have for a time put on weight during intermittent fasting (daily 16-19h fast) easily, simply by ingesting excess calories in the "feeding window" for days/weeks on end. If you need 2000 a day and eat 2500-3000 a day or more (averaged over a longer time span), fasting isn't going to reverse that fact. Sometimes it is as simple as calories-in-calories-out.. I did this on purpose to grow some muscle, but some of the "gains" in that approach will always be bodyfat.
Well, they have a poor understanding[1] of the sequence of events in C++ if they think that the constructor allocates the object there (I won't speak too strongly to Java or C#, since I don't work in them if I don't have to, but I believe that they both work in a very similar way). This would in fact be impossible, since many constructors are usually called for any given object (and all constructors in the object's graph are always called, unlike the more traditional OO languages where the upcall is usually explicit). Also because where an object is allocated is a decision of the caller. It can be allocated with new on the heap, on the stack with a simple declaration, or at an arbitrary memory location with placement new.

In C++ the heap object initialization goes like this:

Obj *obj = new Obj;

This calls either `Obj::operator new` or the globally scoped `::operator new`, which somehow obtains an area of memory at least sizeof(obj) bytes long and returns it. After that calls to the object's constructors are generated and called.

`operator new` is an allocator and the constructor initializes the raw bytes returned from it.

You can actually do the process explicitly in its entirety like so using placement new, which is a special form that calls the constructors on an arbitrary location:

Obj *obj = ::operator new(sizeof(Obj);
new(obj) Obj;

You can't call constructors directly (except with a C++0x feature that lets you call them from a same-level constructor) because of the issue of how they're ordered based on the object graph. They have a precondition of their parent class having been fully constructed.

[1] Note: I don't really mean this as a judgement, understanding of C++ internals are pretty poor in a lot of programmers and for pretty good reasons a lot of the time.
I would like this as a consumer but believe it is difficult to establish as a business. Delivery companies like FedEx, DHL or national mail services could offer it and there would be no way to defend your business against them. Also: wouldn't such a business have the same problem as existing companies with some customers not being around?
There was a private members bill called the online safety bill / act.

Alternately, though this may be stretching the point, you could say that '60s AI-as-human was at the _end_ of its curve, shortly to be replaced by the more practical actual AI. While specific writers have different biases--and some end up way ahead of the curve--in the aggregate I think futurists tend to overestimate the technologies of their era.

Though you're definitely right that literary biases play into it. While not not all SF writers are futurists, most futurists are trying to tell stories. Even some who aren't primarily SF writers: Kurzweil has a narrative arc to his ideas.

Intermittent fasting does not imply anything about calorie amount on a daily basis. I do IF now and again, and what makes me take periods off is that I get absolutely sick and tired of food on IF because I always feel stuffed.

My calorie intake on exercise days on IF is about 2800kcal (as a 6'1 male with a current weight of 108kg/238lbs and a substantially above average muscle volume), which usually meant a lunch consisting of 1800+ calories of protein heavy food.

I'd usually exercise fasted (I do power lifting) apart from a low quantity of bcaa's, and have my first meal at noon.

But in fact, you adjust to going to the gym on low calorie diets too. Intensity may suffer, but it's certainly possible.
At least those blocks go through a court process and a judge has to approve them being blocked.
> What is taste other than a way to get us to eat things that are healthy for us? For example, I would think we like sweets because fruit are sweet, not because there is inherent value in things tasting sweet.

Your body likes sugar because there's lots of energy in sugar. Humans evolved to crave it.

> No longer true, and we still don't eat them a whole lot.

The ones that taste good, we do. Shark, whale, alligator for example.
nslookup is also a BIND tool, so its logical successor is indeed dig.

Here's another magical version that uses a class decorator:

class Autoinit(object):
def __call__(self, cls):
orig_init = cls.__init__
arg_count = orig_init.func_code.co_argcount
arg_vars = orig_init.func_code.co_varnames[1:1 + arg_count]

class Wrapped(cls):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
for pos, var in enumerate(arg_vars[:len(args)]):
setattr(self, var, args[pos])
for var in kwargs:
setattr(self, var, kwargs[var])
return orig_init(self, *args, **kwargs)

return Wrapped

if __name__ == '__main__':
@Autoinit()
class Test(object):
def __init__(self, a, b):
pass

t = Test(1, b=2)
print t.a, t.b

[Disclaimer: This is my first class decorator. Please correct me if I'm wrong.]
DF is not as deeply random as other roguelikes (or roguelike-likes,) in that most creatures follow patterns, goals and "do their own." With the next update there will even be a "background" on everything (wars between villages, gossiping, refugees from distances, spreading of stories, yes I'm looking forward to it)

Of course, the unfairness as you say is different anyway, an AI should not feel unfair... But at some point you realise it actually is. Nothing in DF is specifically there to kill you, but won't bother to let you live if you cross its way.
A variation of intermittent fasting that is geared towards those that workout/weightlift is called leangains which you can learn about at leangains.com and r/leangains. I have been doing it for over 2 years and I lift fasted. You may feel light headed the first few times you do it (so go lighter on weights) but you get used to it. I do squats and deadlifts fasted no problem.

Because you are wrong. It doesn't matter whether the chance to get such a high sentence was a realistic one, it is about the fact that there was a time when Aaron was facing such a long time in prison, that he couldn't know for sure it would not happen. From the article:

Aaron was charged with wire fraud, computer fraud, and “unlawfully obtaining information from” and “recklessly damaging” a “protected computer.” There would be 13 felony counts in all. At the time of the indictment, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said he could face 35 years in prison.
Humans love stories that lend credence to their own side, even if they aren't true, even if they know they aren't true. I've found myself doing it when I look back at things I wrote years or even months in the past.
One thing I like a lot better about it in particular is that it doesn't reach into the stack frame, which strikes me as a very messy grab at internals people should never ever touch. The arity and name information from the compiled function object, however, has legitimate use in tooling and I suspect a lot of decorators do this sort of thing.

It's an interesting balance between one being more magical in its use of the system (inspecting live stack frames) and the other being more magical in appearance (having a function with just pass in it actually do something).
BlueMatt runs some of the build testing for the real daemon, so they're trustworthy as hell.
It's not legislation yet, but it's official government policy, and with threats to make it into law if the government is not satisfied:

"Cameron gave the companies an October deadline to comply with the demands to filter the terms. He said that if the government is not satisfied with the progress it is prepared to take legislative action."
And some just reduce the window of food intake within the day. E.g. leangains is 16 hours fasted, 8 hours or less eating window.

> IF is much less about weight than it is the other, generally scientifically demonstrated benefits of reduced caloric intake

That depends on the type of IF. Again Leangains is not specifically about calorie reduction, but about obtaining some of the benefit of being in a fasted state part of the day coupled with avoiding adding body fat, which for many who uses Leangains still means consciously adding weight.
It is. It's the end of a long-running joke on #bitcoin-dev.

But it does actually work and apparently people are willing to pay for it weirdly enough. BlueMatt, you should have set your prices higher.

I genuinely don't understand how some companies voluntarily providing filters to their customers, that those customers can chose to use or not to use, can possibly be censorship.

It's fucking insulting to people living with real censorship.

Judging from natural progression that usually follows such decisions made by any government following is highly likely to happen:
The blacklist will expand, not shrink, becoming tight with political agenda.
Pressure to stay opted in will increase.
Process to opt out will become more complicated in order to keep people from opting out.
Final blow - blacklist will br enforced by default and opting out removed.
sry for the late answer.

you don't even need to run apache or a node.js file server for this.

just put your responses into files on a relative path according to your request. eg:
api/product/31.json
api/product?orderby=name
api/product?orderby=price

so if you have a demo webapp just package the static data with your app and redirect/configure api calls to the service in the live app
I prefer putting that the other way: Any sufficiently advanced malice is indistinguishable from incompetence.

> That's part of why I gave up on EVE Online

i have observed that certain types of personalities cannot take EVE Online's (or in this case, DayZ's) play style. I personally find EVE and dayz to be refreshingly interesting, amidst all the crap themepark MMO games out there. It's fun because you have real risks when play - a loss means something. The game feels real.
Something I noticed recently while briefly playing GTA V online was that people seem to be able to think of infinite ways to unfairly troll other players. I know the game itself is geared up for player versus player battles, but I'm talking about ways that the game isn't even designed.

Some examples I saw in a short space of time:
- Trapping people in shops by parking vehicles next to the door so they have to leave the game, re-enter or quit.
- Going around purposely damaging vehicles (tyres) so that people doing jobs have no getaway.
- Standing outside common spawn areas and just killing folk as soon as they arrive.

Perhaps using GTA as an example isn't great but it did make me wonder for a moment - does anyone actually just want to play the game in the way it was intended?

the "gameplay" you seem to find lacking is actually the thrill and mental stress players experience when playing. It's mental, not physically manifested as game mechanics.

I started a Lean Gains style fasting approach in Oct 2012. My version has me stop eating by 8PM and not eat again for about 15 to 18 hours. I work out right before the end of my fast. I lift weights 3 days a week and run 2 days a week. These are vigorous workouts lasting 35 to 50 minutes.

My body has adapted! Initially I couldn't lift as much nor run quite as quickly while working out on empty, but the fat melted off nicely at about a pound a week for the first 6 months. My weight then stabilized for about 3 months.

In the last few months I have been trying a very slow bulk while still keeping to the schedule. Trying to eat above maintenance level and add muscle. It seems to be working I have put back on about 7 pounds and I estimate that about 4 of those are muscle. And, my personal bests in weight lifting have just recently been matched.

I have to say that overall I am very pleased with the results of this style of intermittent fasting and the ability to keep working out.

Having said all that, I am thinking that this year I would like to experiment with some longer fasts of 24 to 36 hours. I anticipate that I will need to significantly reduce the intensity of my workout during that kind of fast.
Why? A multi giga dataset in machine learning is considered to be big enough to be called like that. An algorithm like support vector machine which complexity can be O(n^3) would be prohibitive in a single computer.
I would assume they could make it lucrative enough by charging for renting the space above their lines. Maybe it would improve the dire service quality and pricing of the railways a bit.
