I think the burden lies on the browsers to warn average users of the danger of pasting javascript code. Perhaps a popup confirmation the first time you paste `javascript:...` in the address bar with a "Never ask again," and a warning that "Here be danger" when you open the dev console that you can dismiss.
Indeed. This is not a good thing for consumers. Comcast is way too big as it is and does not need to dominate the market any more than it already does.

My former company was the market leader and acquired the #2 player and gov't eventually stepped and force sold off a significant part of the acquired company including allowing the new buyer to give hire offers to anyone in that company which probably 75% of them took (or left). My guess is Comcast has better lobbyists and nothing will happen and execs will be congratulated by the regulators.
If I had a position, I couldn't be considered objective.

Clapper (defendant) is in my opinion the most disgusting dirtbag that perfectly represent the broken state of our political system and its rotting that we are currently funcion in.

This piece of trash lied to the Congress (something that hundred of thousands of people commit a jailtime in this moment as i write this) and further explained himself as "i choose the least truthful statement". Well, it wasn't up to him to decide whether he should tell the truth or not, he was answeing to rightfully appointed commision.

Imagine a society you live in where people you pay salaries for (public servant) choose to lie in your face and perfectly get away with it.

This banana republic approach that a cocroach like Clapper can personally decide whether or not he will tell the truth, and not being punished in any way for blunt lies, but rater praised and kept on his post, perfectly summarize the rotten system we live under, where all three branches merge into one and someone like Clapper can call another dirtbag named Holter and asked him not to press charges so life can just abrubtly go on...

> What's the logical basis for this pair of assertions? How can the "experience" be real while the illness is not?

What is the difference in value between a $5 bill and a $20 bill? Is this difference not both real and socially constructed?

I.e. why do you assume that what is socially constructed can't be real?

The question is, really, what goes into the experience and what are the limits to the current science. If it is socially constructed, the science is limited to the current cultural context.
Oh, boy. Charter wanted them, badly.
It's a bit different in this situation. Comcast and Time Warner do not currently compete with each other.
However, POSTing from a http login page to https "logged in" page opens you up to javascript injection attacks that can sniff credentials as you perform the login action.

Further, ssl stripping man-in-the-middle attacks on any http page on a site can force your session to remain in cleartext, even if you navigate to a page that's supposed to be encrypted. Your webserver really needs to redirect to https always, to prevent against this.
If this merger goes thru, (and the AnitTrust people would have to be really asleep at the wheel for that) two things are certain:

1) Americans can expect some of the worst Cable price gouging they have ever seen

2) NetFlix, Amazon Prime et al will become really popular as a result of all the customers saying "FU ComcastWarner"
My best friend from childhood threw himself in front of a train almost exactly 1 year ago (Feb 18th). He had just got his college degree, had an amazing family and all the support in the world.

When he took his own life, I had an initial period of unanswerable questions and great sorrow, followed by deep resentment. He had so many people he could have reached out to and so many people reaching out to him, and he just decided to take an easier way out. It was selfish to leave his family hanging like that with so many questions, and the worst part is how difficult it was for them to move on.

Sorry, my bad. It seems I was thinking of PhoneGap, which packages HTML5 apps for mobile devices https://build.phonegap.com/

I believe on some Android platform (such as Amazon App Store) you can even charge for HTML5 apps, so it's not unprecedented.

However Apple app submissions requirements state you have to have sufficient functionality to warrant providing a native application. Not surprised that this code didn't make the grade, but as mentioned if they were able to make use of UI framework or put through PhoneGap could resolve the issue.
Well now we wait for things to get worse!
Something tells me that if that's the linchpin for the deal going through, it's not an accident.
Will this really matter in the long run? I mean don't most cable companies have a local monopoly anyway? I don't think there are many Comcast subscribers who can switch to TWC. I know there's still a diversity of offerings across the market that will change, but that seems a minor thing compared to the fact that most broadband users don't have a choice who they get their broadband from anyway.
The pre-Snapshot/restore method is:

- Pause indexing

- Issue a flush request

- Rsync data directories somewhere

- Resume indexing

This is technically a very naive approach, since a simple rsync of the data dirs will include replicas too. If you were more diligent you could check the state files in each shard directory and only copy out the primaries.
Sad but true. They should deny the acquisition and then launch a lawsuit for unfair competition/collusion.
Languages have long cycles. Python (1991), Ruby (1996), and Javascript (1995) inception dates are not that far apart. I also believe Python use has increased tremendously with HN, myself included. Ruby during the same time also fueled that (2005/6 ish), reddit being built on it possibly also sparked that.

A native language takes even longer sometimes, Objective-C just really hit it's stride with Apple/Next integration and the iPhone but it was made in 1983, same year as C++. Both with very different spikes/waves of interest.

From this we can see strict/native type languages in the 80's, more dynamic/scripted languages in the 90's, the ones in the last decade maybe are still in contention. All of them are pretty much products of their hardware environments at the time.

I don't think your second premise is entirely true, since Comcast doesn't provide enough bandwidth for streaming services like Netflix and YouTube already. Those services are going to become harder and harder to use if anything.
And also most people write the new language in their old language.

Like the old adage. Good programmers can write FORTRAN in any language.

This is crazy I don't see how this can get past any sort of anti-trust. Particularly with Comcast's stake in NBC. Comcast would own both the content and distribution of too large a chunk of the broadcast industry.

I have no problem with Netflix on Comcast's lowest tier. 6mbps, 10 TV channels.
Another problem is that Comcast is an internet provider for a lot of people. It's actually my only option right now, so if I want to access that Netflix subscription, I still need to pay Comcast, so point 1) will make that all the worse since it's already clear they throttle heavily on Netflix, this will only make the degraded experience even more expensive.
As others have mentioned, it's not clear that this would increase the market concentration in any way that matters, because it's not clear that Comcast and Time Warner meaningfully compete with each other. How many households can choose between one or the other?

Is there another way in which they will materially reduce consumer choice and gain new pricing powers? (Some people have said Net Neutrality and putting the pressure on Netflix, which is Interesting; it's not clear the extent to which third parties like this are covered by said Act.)
It would be insane to let this go through. They're both effectively monopolists in most markets they serve; allowing them to combine just allows them to exert more political influence to make sure they keep their monopoly and high profit margins. Their core business is very much a low-value-added, rent-seeking concern, which doesn't benefit from economies of scale except for in as much as they can increase their market power by reducing competition - a fundamentally zero-sum game.

Political influence is a major and underexplored negative externality of monopolies.

I got a friend of mine who is a very good guitar player, with classical musical education and very sophisticated musical taste. He used to complain that although it is easy to impress general public with your guitar skills, but they will be equally impressed by something much simpler. Like a guy playing a 3-chord pop song. If you have no musical education, if you don't really understand the structure of music and how it's composed it'll be hard for you to fully appreciate it. And those who do understand, professional musicians, will often criticize it just like, you say, programmers on a github will criticize your code. It happens in any professional area and absolutely normal.

I think the problem is that you are looking primarily for extrinsic motivators. Of course it's an important part and it's hard to exclude them at all, but you gotta have something more then that. There should be an interest in doing things just because you like doing them and you _interested_ in them even if you couldn't share it with anyone else.

Man, Comcast and TWC were already go to examples of the problems of monopolies.
I don't think they compete directly in vast majority of markets and for this to go through they will surely forfeit those smaller contested ones.

I think this will go through. Then they will have a huge "content and subscriber" stick to wave around at Aereo, Netflix, Apple and anyone else wanting to play the net content hero.

I've been there, had an app I used daily in my job. I valued it for how fast it got me the information I needed (aviation weather) without features that I didn't need getting in the way. A few friends thought it looked useful so I put it on the store and got the same rejection. I added a couple of features that nobody uses (saving weather for later viewing) and got it through. I always suspected it was that I wanted to charge Tier 3 for it and they didn't think that was justified.

> Yes vacuum is fine for radiation, but radiation is much slower than physical contact with standard pressure air.

Actually, it's the other way around. Under a clear sky at the surface of the earth, radiation is much more efficient than convection and conduction to air. This is why objects at the surface readily cool below air temperature at night.

Source: http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/thermo/coobod.htm...

The linked example is a person losing heat energy under normal circumstances (23 C ambient, body temperature of 34 C). The example shows that a body loses 17 watts to perspiration, 11 watts to conduction (to the air and environment), and 133 watts to radiation.

Contrary to what many people think, a planet without an atmosphere loses heat to space very efficiently, solely by radiation -- indeed, that mechanism is more efficient in the absence of an atmosphere. But even with an atmosphere, radiation is the major heat loss mechanism, most more efficient than convection.
ooooo the Canadians are coming. What ever shall we do?
The future isn't cable though, it's internet, and even the cable companies know this. In most places the best internet is still via cable. Having such a dominant monopoly would put them in prime position to gouge everyone in every direction.

Gouge downward by charging the consumers higher prices. Gouge upward by charging companies like netflix to have their content not be horrendously throttled over your pipes. With such a large customer base, it becomes much harder for folks to resist.

And, of course, with more customers they have more revenue, which better positions them for future acquisitions. Comcast already owns NBCUniversal, so they are already positioned to become an even larger media conglomerate.

Not the OP, but GC issues in Elasticsearch basically boil down to memory pressure (obviously), which is usually caused by facets. Facets eat a lot of memory, especially if you are faceting high-cardinality fields - think fields like "tags" or any analyzed field. High cardinality, analyzed strings is the easiest way to blow out the heap.

There are other reasons, but that is like 90% of GC issues. To solve it, you need to make sure your faceted fields are configured well (usually not_analyzed) and assess how much memory is available. You may be able to index and even full-text search ten billion docs on a single machine, but faceting it may just be too much to ask for a single node.

Omiting norms, disabling bloom filters on old indices and enabling doc values are other ways to help alleviate field-data pressure.

Other GC culprits can be: too large bulk requests, unbounded threadpool queues, or something like parent/child/scripts/filter cache keys eating all your memory. Also don't go above 30gb heaps, the JVM becomes unhappy :)
Absolutely not... I can vouch for it. Did you seriously think that would happen?
Literally the same situation here.

There have recently been rumblings that Google and FB are 'bad' because they hire people who move to SF. These employees increase demand for housing in SF, which tends to price out people who have been living there longer. Some people feel this is undesirable, and have made their feelings known by, e.g., protesting Google buses. Increasing the supply of housing (by changing zoning rules) would tend to reduce the market rate for housing in SF.

It's a simple question of what works. Giving too much sympathy and attention to someone who discusses suicide is a bad idea. It is to suicide what an enabler is to a narcissist.

The point is not to merge. The point is to use this as a negotiating point with the FTC. Ask for the sun, and end up with the moon.
Your statement begins with the presumption "Men discriminate against women." and flows from there. You and github begin counting, and see high representation in the tech industry by men, and low representation by women (and some minorities). This much is obvious. It's how you proceed from there, and naturally conclude "discrimination" is responsible for this discrepancy is not at all apparent to some of us.

From my vantage point, the only exclusionary, discriminatory behaviors and attitudes in the tech industry are directed at men.
and now, they never will, which would be the focal point of any antitrust attack.

Also, the DOJ does not have sole authority to challenge.
Here is the breakdown for telecommunications (taken from DOJ website, http://www.justice.gov/atr/icpac/3b.htm)

Telecommunications. Mergers involving telecommunications
service providers usually are subject to competition policy
review or challenge by:

One of the federal antitrust agencies (only the DOJ has
jurisdiction to review mergers involving telephone
companies; both the DOJ and the FTC have reviewed mergers
between cable television firms);

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC);(8)

The PSC of each state in which the parties do business
(although most state PSCs lack jurisdiction over cable
television mergers and some lack jurisdiction over mergers);

In the case of cable television, county and municipal
authorities with responsibility for granting and overseeing
cable franchise agreements;

The attorney general of each state in which the merging
parties do business; and

Private entities such as competitors to the merging parties.
As with mergers involving electric power firms, review by
any of these entities is nonexclusive. Approval of a
transaction by one entity does not preclude a separate
challenge by any of the other entities, nor does it bar
another entity from seeking adjustments that exceed
concessions that resolved the concerns of other bodies.

I suspect the DOJ (who has sole jurisdiction in telecommunications) will object, and that comcast is just willing to fight it out in court.
However that growth is precisely what the present human civilization and economic system are predicated on.

That growth will stop sometime and a considerable amount of present pain seems to be that global growth is slowing markedly (and has been since the 1970s).

Apple didn't reject you because they thought it was simple. They rejected you because you built it too simply.

I would suggest to add a function so you can add a personal note to each day, and sell it as a mood tracker / diary. First, it would be useful to keep track of why you were feeling bad or good on a given day by maybe a making a small not on what happen. Plus, then apple would not be able to reject it, as it would be a diary app with a graph. There are a ton of diary apps on iOS, and this one would even have a graph. Let them argue that's not novel and feature reach :)
Unicorns do exist!!! I kid, there were a bunch of IBMers who liked Notes too, so I'm sure there must be other people in the world who like it as well.

IMHO you're better off thinking in Kelvins. Room temperature is 295 Kelvins, the cosmic background radiation (the leftover glow of the Big Bang) is 2.7 Kelvins, and between the stars, far from any particular star, an object naturally cools to the universe's background temperature of 2.7 Kelvins.
