Argh! But he just gave an account of how it's syntax is often contradictory, and it's primary implementation slow and prone to scaling issues.

Just because some orgs can wring a production system out of it does not mean it's the bee's knees. Far, far from it.

PHP is functional, I'll give it that. But arguing it's merits in a world that has Rails, Django, Node.js or even Chicago Boss, is going to lose you friends amongst people who appreciate elegance and speed in their libraries and applications.

As if you couldn't guess, my personal opinion is that PHP is one step up from CGI scripts in Perl5. PHP5 gained mindshare because your grandma could figure out how to embed a variable in a template and toss it in a directory that apache was already hosting with mod_php. And that, my friends is why we're even talking about PHP.
Well, the point is you cannot sell these. Sure, if you build one and never tell Apple you put OS X on it they won't come after you but you cannot get support for OS X running on a Hackingtosh. If you do try to sell them, thing a get even worse for you. Not that I see how they could make it work but the current status is definitely not peachy.
Please understand,

Sympathy, courtesy, favors and censorship can't substitute the effort to learn programming and build.
That seems like an interpretation of the situation that requires a lot of assumptions beyond the bare facts.

The police were acting well outside the law, and so I don't think knowing his rights would have helped this man.

Yeah, pretty annoying, if you use less as a pager for your manpages, you can try:

/^[[:blank:]]+-l

but it's kind of annoying that you have to use regular expressions to find what you are looking for faster.

EDIT: it may work in more (the default pager) but I haven't tried it.
As far as I know, various Unix versions, as well as Win7, will run just fine. No artificial performance penalties, and Apple is currently doing precisely NOTHING to disallow installation of alternate OSes. This has been the case for years.

Oh yeah he is and, yes, still wearing Hawaiian shirts.

I wonder if and how such a bill would be legally enforceable. He never requested any services from the hospital and he also never got into a emergency condition where the hospital was forced to safe his life. It's like if a random person cuts your hair off on the street and then charges you a barber service.
I play semi-professionally in bands on bass; guitar players, IME, are currently favoring pedals grouped together on a board of some kind, transported in a case.

As a guitar player, and a lot of folks feel similarly, I feel that a good tube amp and a couple of relatively simple pedals is the best package all around, from reliability to portability to sound quality.

There are many possible options (the best alternative I have heard is digital processor that emulates amplifiers), and there are lot of options on the phone.

However, even the best of these phone or mobile options is less rugged and not as good sounding as the other possibilities, so people generally stick with known quantities.
You can and you won't and it is. Performance issues are from the fact that other OS's don't support the hardware properly.
I don't think anyone expects to get support for running a hackintosh, but my point was that apple don't do much to dissuade this behaviour
I think the cops should now be billed for that 1.6mill. Garnish there salary to the end of their worthless life. Why should the taxpayers be stuck with these bills. The taxpayers didn't abuse and humiliated that poor man on a fucking whim, the individual police officers did. No pension, immediate dismissal, and garnishment of wages is the least that they deserve! This case should not end because they settled, make an example of these fucks.

Also, even a first year law student would be able to easily throw out any and all evidence they have obtained this way. So the entire procedure was worthless, even if they had succeeded. Makes their conduct even worse. Evil and stupid!

For those not familiar with Kristallnact (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kristallnacht) it is recognized as the first signal to the coming Holocaust where Jews and their businesses where the target of violence and vandalism.

Is this really what is happening in San Francisco?

Though I dislike much of how the media portrays the 1% issue, are these people really 'under-seige'?

What I will agree with is that there is a turning tide, and Tom Perkins may be on the wrong side of the fence. But anybody who would write that San Francisco is 'the epicenter of progressive thought', I consider slightly delusional anyway. I don't think I can consider any part of any country which is tearing itself apart trying to implement a basic workable public medical system, which all other 1st world countries seem to have figured out, 'progressive'. Or where people still argue over issues like 'same sex marriage', 'abortion' and many other basic civil liberties.

San Francisco may be the centre of the technology world and the leader in that field, which currently leads the business world, but that doesn't mean they are 'progressive thought leaders'.

I would think the very thought that they have a 1% which is actively trying to maintain their wealth at the cost of the rest is also proof of this.

Now, on to my rant about how the media portray's the 1% issue. Personally, I have no problem with the 1% having 99% of the wealth (or whatever it is), and I think many people are looking at the issue from the wrong angle. I don't care how many billions Tom Perkins or anybody else has, as long as the bottom 1-to-10% are living under acceptable conditions. As long as we can agree the the quality of life for all is being looked after. That should be our goal. Not just in America, but in all countries. Can we stop focusing on a dollar difference and start focusing on the suffering of the people at the bottom?
Inequality exacerbates this problem, but it is not the root cause. I have heard many stories of police abuse from middle class, White people.

It is only the ultra-rich (or ultra-connected) that the police are afraid of.

Then you're screwed, cause you're dealing with cops that don't care about the actual law and just want to nail you to the wall.
The worst problem with using informants in my eyes is that the informant only has incentives to get an arrest. Could the informant leave the store and say "the guy said he didn't have any drugs"?

Police officers, at least, can be fired for being caught lying and have an incentive for peace and order in the public.
It's pretty simple. Greed = desire for largest market = lowest common denominator.

"Every man is innocent until proven broke."
The standard for a detention is that a reasonable person would believe they weren't free to go. So in your hypothetical, the fact that the officer says you're not detained doesn't matter. If he says you're not free to leave then you're detained. From that point, other than identifying yourself, you should not answer any questions and ask to speak with an attorney.
What I wanna know is, if he refused to the medical procedures, aren't the doctors committing a crime by forcing them on him against his will?
The doctors and nurses involved should flat out be imprisoned for rape. That's what it was. Penetration without consent, explicit or implied (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implied_consent#First_aid).

China is not a dystopia. China has abandoned Communism and adopted a Capitalist economic system with Socialist policies, like Europe and the US, and as a result it is entering what European-Americans consider 19th/20th Century standards of living. The Chinese don't want to accept that they have been living and dying for a lie (Communism), the US doesn't want to admit China is not a failed state.

Chinese citizens have similar civil rights to those of 19th Century European-Americans. Americans have only been able to circumvent "cop immunity" since Monroe v. Pape (1961) and Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents (1971). Americans can take such civil rights lawsuits to a bench of regular people, but Europeans must still take such accusations to prosecutors' golfing buddies (judges), if at all. Its almost impossible to convince a jury; convincing a judge is even harder. Chinese and Europeans have similar civil rights protections, in other words.

China and Europe both have freedom of speech guarantees. In China, just like Europe, you have freedom of speech until you say something a prosecutor or cop doesn't like. (The rationalization of this aspect is dizzying.) Most of Europe has traditionally banned political parties they don't agree with; for example, the Communist Party has traditionally been banned in post-WW2 Europe (Germany, most notably), just like China has banned non-Communist parties in practice. Note the US never banned the Communist Party; it only castigated its members in public shaming ceremonies. (California banned display of red flags in the 1920s, but this was overturned in Stromberg v. California in 1931, around the time Hitler rose to power.)

China is a democracy reminiscent of 19th Century European-American democracies. The United States Senate was not always directly elected, just like the National People's Congress. And the United States President and European Union President are still not directly elected, just like the Chinese President and Premier. China is like the US and sometimes allows recall elections (technically); Europe does not. Neither Europe nor China allow what Americans consider to be ballot initiatives (where the people vote on the proposal). Neither China nor Europe elect very many government officers; in the US not only are sheriffs, prosecutors, clerks and treasurers often elected, but sometimes even judges are (for example in California).

And my understanding is that living and economic conditions in China are similar to the 20th Century US. For a select few its great, for most its barely livable, and for many its cruel and usual punishment. And in Europe, China and the US, the Law © is the most expensive book you have memorized but never read, and the education system blunts and rejects political undesirable tendencies, after which your employer (in collusion with your landlord/bank/household registration office) takes over.

Time, CBS News and the Huffington Post are not representative of all Westerners, nor is the Chinese Communist Party representative of all China. American media corporations are just trying to punish China for kicking them out of China. For which I say Good for China.
But that's exactly what happened:

1) He was in handcuffs, so apparently not free to go.

2) Police told him he can't contact a lawyer because he's not arrested.

3) Police forced him to undergo a medical procedure (still, without being "arrested")

I'm not sure if "not answering any questions" would have helped the victim in that case.
Ansible would be another awesome python solution to use in this case.
I think the typical answer to the question is silence. The cop does not say anything at all, and just pretends that he did not hear the question.
You ask yourself: where is the public prosecution? Where are the criminal cases against everyone involved?

You also ask yourself why the NY Times only mentions the civil suit and the settlement.
Whenever I read about Blackboard and the universities that use it, I can't help but consider that these are the institutions which are supposed to be capable of teaching software engineering.
I didn't see it mentioned in this writeup, but they did have a search warrant. Sort of.

1. The warrant was only valid within the county. After the first doctor refused, the police took him to a hospital in another county.

2. The warrant had an expiration time on it. The warrant was no longer valid when the colonoscopy was performed.
This is a good idea. Not, necessarily, a great one; I feel more can be done with crytocurrency platforms than attaching them to a Kickstarter.

I have questions, but only one that's pressing. It appears that Backer pays out when the project is complete. Given that they accept Bitcoin, what happens if Bitcoin substantially depreciates or appreciates in value in the interim? Is the house floating both risks, or either?
Calculation of gravitational potential (escape speed) from it to the rest of the Universe makes sense, doesn't it?

Yes, but that's not the same as escaping from the universe as a whole.

And due to this gravitational potential it will be bona fide black hole from the point of view of the rest of the Universe.

So what? What does that have to do with assigning a gravitational potential to the universe as a whole?
Nothing exciting here... if you have physical access, it's game over.
Of course you'd know better, and it wouldn't be the first time someone overestimated their (J's) role in the process, but in this video Darrin specifically mentions "wouldn't it be fun if we started something together" which in my book could be understood as co-founder... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdpwzJgKcY0

Anyhow, I really like what you guys (however many) created and was sad to see it go. It was definitely more powerful than the snapseed stuff they integrated later.
Great, they violated a search warrant - criminally - jail is still the place for them.
It is not permitted because the “separate trial and punishment” never happens.
A world of cars that drive themselves
The phrase "not arrested" suggests that the suspect almost hoped for a chance to sue the police. Hard to blame him, when the police is displaying this amount of stupidity, lack of judgement or empathy.
Use the source. Or a disassembler.

Maybe you didn't know they would integrate it into Google+, but why would you assume they would keep picnik.com? Even then when it got bought I immediately assumed it would at best be integrated into the Picasa web app and perhaps program, too. But keeping picnik.com wouldn't have made any sense for Google's vision, even before Google+.

One more thing, when Google bought Snapseed, I immediately thought "wow, I guess Google thought the picnik.com guys weren't that good, if they need to buy Snapseed, too". And then a while later they integrated Snapseed into Google+, too, and it does look/work much better. I do expect them to kill the Snapseed app, soon, too, and just integrate many of its features in the Photos or Gallery Android apps.
I don't think there's a law against criminal stupidity and keeping lax discipline.

Now the cleanup, there's a problem. The usual and proven way to deal with corrupt police is to fire everyone and bring in new people from the other side of the country with no local obligations. But how do you do this in an impoverished county in New Mexico where no one wants to go?
I think I'd have to go along with it, sue for wrongful arrest and so on later. You might get away with fighting back if you could show that they were going to rape you, as in this case. There's some case law that suggests you can resist if the alternative is serious injury or death, as per the rules pertaining to self-defence.

But I'd hate to wager my freedom on it - case law isn't always consistently followed and will vary depending on where you are. And really, how can you prove it? You get to court and it's their word against yours, and the first strike against you is that they're in uniform and you're not.

#

On the other hand, when the alternative is rape... would I rather be dead than raped? Can't say ahead of time. I'd rather be dead than go to jail. If I would rather be dead than raped, then I can fight them, and if I lose the court case I can still kill myself and escape jail that way.
Which would be the general public. Which is both bearing some of the responsibility and most of the bill.
Things I Learned From My First Months As A UX Designer
I do wonder if there is an end run here to either the state medical board or the specialist certifying organization for the doctors. these docs pretty clearly performed medical procedures on patients without consent or a court order. doctors need to know that if they comply with illegal police orders, they run the risk of losing their license or board certification.
Are you kidding me?

Hundreds of idiotic comments on this page from Social Justice Warriors with too much time and nothing better to do.

People, it's the word Bro... get over it. It took me a second to get the joke (it's from man pages), I thought it was semi funny but whatever, it seems useful actually.

Why can't we keep the contents in topic? The authors put in effort to make this - how about we commend them for that, instead of tearing them down, when we've contributed nothing to this project.
Why should the taxpayers be stuck with these bills

Simply because the police unions put it into the city contract and the politicians signed it.
Yep, that's how I do my gif conversions because it allows for much finer control, and often returns better results. I built an entire app around abstracting this technique: http://gifmachine.xwl.me/
The life of the survivor is more important than his? How can you make that kind of judgment? A person responsible for providing for a family has just as much social value as an arbitrary man hanging out on some railroad tracks.

To mindlessly kill yourself for any person is pointless, especially if that person is already suicidal. The burden of knowing someone died to save you is not something depressed people cope with well.
My impression is that if you follow that order you are way more likely to get through the end than if you followed any other order (except by switching Haskell and C#, I don't think that'd matter). But yes, if you did go through those languages in another order, there is no reason to think you'd know any less than somebody that followed the "easy" sequence.
I never get that impression when my brother calls me "little bro." And all my friends who were/are close enough to treat like brothers. I'd call women who are that close sis if the culture around gender weren't so weird and arbitrary.
I've used Sakai in the past, and Moodle for years now. (I think I used Blackboard once, years ago.) They're all a pain, but it would be hard to hand-code something that has even just the features that I use regularly myself.

That being said, Moodle has some serious issues with dataloss if a user's session times out (and for a long time, the default timeout delay was just 24 minutes). If someone hasn't specifically clicked "Save" or "Submit" before time runs out (even if they were typing constantly the whole time), then those buttons invisibly turn into "Throw away all my work and make me log back in and start from scratch". It's horrific. https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-11972
Until taxpayers start demanding more accountability and professionalism from their police force, they should be stuck with those bills.

Police do stuff like this (and get away with it) because the public, generally speaking, assumes that anyone who is abused or treated unfairly by police must have done something to deserve it.

The individuals involved should certainly be punished (though they rarely ever are), but the taxpayers have some culpability as well.
This story is the only response needed when someone says "I don't care because I don't have anything to hide".
As a student, I have no idea how Moodle is from a professor's standpoint, but from a student's it's infinitely preferable to D2L, at least. I've never used Blackboard either, but nobody seems to think that it's appreciably better than D2L, so I doubt Moodle is really that bad in comparison.
If it ran Windows, would it be a recycle bin?
I wonder if a risky marketing tactic of "Everyone hates Blackboard but no one has the balls to use a better product [like ours]" might work to bait buyers in these situations? Liken it to the majority buying PC when kids might prefer Mac. Imply "Do you have the guts?" "A lot of prospects we speak with haven't had the authority to step away from the herd." i.e., do they want to think of themselves as having the authority, being at the forefront, having the balls, etc.
Strict identation is a good thing.

A teacher can compensate a non-strict compiler by being strict himself, but identation is one of the most important concepts you should be teaching to beginners.
"Does that mean that accuracy and accountability don’t matter for click-bait pieces about China that “feel” true?"

I suppose this photograph had the opposite effect on me. The moment I saw it surface on my FB feed, I had the immediate, almost impulsive, thought that this had to be a fabrication. I lumped it into the "Pope calls Genesis a metaphor" category.

I don't mean to sound like I disagree with the journalist though. Actually I would agree 100% that "Chinese dystopia" seems to be an over-represented theme in American news media.
Foie gras?
NSA.gov has a kids section
I suppose that's why they paid him $1.6M.
I'd want to call my insurance company to make sure they cover forced penetration. Nobody wants a high out-of-pocket bill for getting two involuntary enemas and a colonoscopy.

Also starts the paper trail for the lawsuit.
Yet another great reason to end drug prohibition.

The cops and the doctors perpetrating the rape should also be held personally liable in civil and criminal court.
