Sometimes it seams that people are interested in these technical and highly specific debates on how to eat right to avoid responsibility. They want to "know" that eating right is so difficult and badly understood that it can't be done without a special diet. When they then select a diet and it works, they attribute it to the diet and not the utmost care that they followed the diet with.

Isn't the "management" of the internet already kind of off-hands by the US gov and somewhat open (I'm not talking about the spying stuff). Especially with regards to the draconian ways other countries treat it (China, Iran, etc).

So what the EU really is saying is that they want to lock things down a bit further.

The want more domain-name control, more gov level blocking and filtering, more surveillance, more data retention, and all kinds of new laws.

The sad part of all this is the naive crowd here is probably thinking - finally, let them stick it to the US!
I don't understand this.

Why would the manufactures not just directly send those cars over to china and sell them?

Why is it illegal to export them other than undercutting prices of a dealer in China (but that would be dealt with by restrictions on import)?

That Americans would be deprived of owning such cars because there was a shortage is a load of crap. Car manufactures are in the business to make money that's it.

Also why are we wasting tax payer money on this?
Some here are quick to dismiss it as another attempt at "evil government seizing the control over oh-so-free Internet", whereas if you actually read what's there it's more about taking the governance over Internet out of American hands (basically what ICANN wants anyway) + doing something (not sure what exactly) to ensure the freedom in the Internet.

Not bad ideas in themselves, dunno about the execution. Personally I think it wouldn't be that bad to have some governmental control over some of the Internet functions.

Prefer this instead of leaving it at hands of corporations that only care about money (even if I agree that it's all a muddy area that can lead to some bad stuff too).

I'm quite involved in fitness and I know a thing or two about diet. Milk is not bad, it never was. The only significant difference of full milk and skimmed milk from my point of view is GI (Glycemic Index). Full milk has GI of 41 whereas skimmed milk has a GI of 32 [1]. Obviously the lower GI the better.

This is very true.

Just doing a reverse image search on google (with a photo of somebody) can result in finding all sorts of details. Once you have their facebook you have their name, with a name you can find their linkedin, from there its a wash. You can call past and present employers, locations, family, friends.

If somebody doesn't lock down their facebook page its even worse you can literally see all their photos.

Try googleing yourself and close friends, see how much you can learn without doing anything at all invasive or spending money. You'll quickly learn the importance of minimizing your online appearance after this.
But this is giving away the farm; if the way to eat healthy is a high-fat diet that cuts out the empty carbs (and especially sugar), and then you just naturally eat a healthy amount of food after that without any sort of bizarre calorie counting, that's not proof that "it's all just calories", it proves the exact opposite, that the calorie type matters a lot and conventional nutritional wisdom up to this point on what constitutes a healthy diet is dead wrong.

Which it is. But I find it bizarre that people will fall back to this defense, or, at least, I find it bizarre how many people still think this is some sort of defense, when it is in fact the exact, total, polar opposite of the position they think they are defending.
I like the alternative interface for managing issues, and it is nice that I could use this for some public repos that get a lot of issues and pull requests.

One nice enhancement would be a simple toggle for hiding labels with no issues.

The lightbox approach to presenting an issue seemed a little funky - mostly in that it just feels like it is not a "real" part of the interface since it is shown in a small column. I also noticed some issues with URLs overflowing the lightbox.

Speaking of GitHub Issues - the biggest, simple change I can imagine GitHub making to Issues is allow repository owners to add a small readme to the New Issue page. It would help a lot in explaining what a good bug report looks like and where else to get help.

Really that means nothing though. Neither Peercoin or Dogecoin have merchant or payment processor support. No one is interested in taking dogecoin in payment for goods and services, right now it is just a toy coin that people can use to learn about cryptocurrencies cheaply and that is pretty much what it will always be. If dogecoin had a maleability issue it does not have the dev support to resolve it in a reasonable time frame, a fork like there was in BTC last year would have a similar result. There are lost of transactions because you can send 10 or 100 or 1000 coins to anyone and you still have sent less than a few bucks. Lots of transactions does not equal a big currency it equals a lot of transactions. And in this situation these transactions count for very little economic activity.
First it's not "above all else" seeing that it's "Article 10".

Second, the second clause basically negates the first one in its entirety:

Nothing to understand here legally as it's simply a money-grab by automakers who are quite obviously lobbying the feds to crack down on a business that is eating into their profits.

And you're right, not a single person in the US is having a hard time finding or buying a Mercedes, Land Rover or any other luxury automobile. I can't believe there are government officials wasting time pursuing this so called crime.

This is lobbying to protect business interests at it's purest.

> Bittorent adoption grew because the MPAA kept killing stuff like Napster and Kazaa, and then they got the government to seize all streaming website domains, to the point where nobody had an alternative except using Bittorent.

Personally, I ended up using Bittorrent because it was superior to the alternative that's popular in my country (DC++). Because it is peer to peer and because the client can download from multiple seeds at the same time, Bittorent makes it easy to saturate my download bandwidth.

From a publisher's perspective for legal torrents (e.g. think of Ubuntu.com) it's better to distribute a torrent link on your website, than it is to provide a direct download link or to upload your stuff on Kazza, or Napster, or Dropbox, or Megaupload, or whatever. Notice how bandwidth and finding a host for popular stuff is a problem, being the reason for why people still use SourceForge.

I cannot agree with you - people don't switch because of government-related actions. People switch when the alternative is superior. Let me give you another success story waiting to happen - Bittorent Sync makes it easy to synchronize stuff in your network. It's still rough, but if I were Dropbox, that's the competition I would fear.

Anyway, peer2peer when implemented right works better than the server-client model, at least on broadband connections that can afford the upload (sadly, doesn't work so well on mobile phones, either because of battery life or bandwidth limits, but these are limitations that are not going to exist in the future). If you implement something that works and is friendly to users, then it can win in the marketplace.

Cool. I immediately wanted to check out how it works to find out it works by sending some bits to Messages.app through applescript. The most relevant portion seems to be:

if is_i response
puts "Sending \'#{str}\' to chat number #{response}"
`osascript -e 'tell application "Messages" to send \"#{str}\" to item #{response.to_i} of text chats'`
else
puts "Sending \'#{str}\' to buddy \'#{response}\'"
`osascript -e 'tell application "Messages" to send \"#{str}\" to buddy \"#{response}\"'`
end

Though I must say I kinda like the way they've done it in OS X 10.9, where I can respond inline even when I'm on another desktop.

The best thing about this is probably that you can send messages when you're logged in to your OSX box remotely. Though for that to be handy it misses a real "chat" feature, in which the app can also playback the messages you've received.
It is just one fact in this case.

Yet the pendulum has swung so far away from "just a bit of Moderation" that the now all-pervasive sugar (virtually) cannot be avoided.

Left to their own devices, industry will NOT comply so regulation is a valid tool to stave off the massive public health risk that unchecked industry has introduced.

Well, this is not news at all. Americans used to consume 8 kilos of butter a year 40 years ago and lots of other fats too.

Now they consume much less fat(but low quality like palm oil), much more sugar, and they are terribly overweight.

People also consume much less fresh products thanks to the refrigerator. Some things will taste similar but carry 10% or less enzymes and vitamins than the fresh thing right after recollection.
Why would the manufactures not just directly send those cars over to China and sell them?

Presumably because they make about the same amount of money either way: If they distributed more cars into the Chinese market, prices would drop in China as supply caught up with demand. Obviously that leaves room for a competitor to undercut you, but these luxury brands can, for now, demand premiums for their cachet.

In the meantime, selling cars with competitive supply (and competitive price) in America plays some part in keeping that cachet alive. You want movie stars and pro athletes driving Mercedes. Not to mention it would be a huge mistake to abandon competition in the U.S. market just because China is huge right now. If China tails off, it's expensive to rebuild your brand image, dealer network, ...

I know of several businesses here (Europe) that specialize in importing cars from the USA. It is ridiculous how much more expensive a similar Mercedes Benz or a BMW is, compared to the USA. What they do is buy cars that have a couple of thousand miles on them and are ~6 months old. This makes them "second hand" and not new so they fall under different legislation. The cars are shipped inside containers on ships and even after all taxes are paid they still cost much less than the same car (similar mileage and age) bought from here.
The only problem these companies face is legalizing the cars in Europe - e.g. blinkers here must be yellow. However, this is also relatively easy to fix by buying the needed parts here and installing them on the cars before registration.

The car manufacturers need to understand that we live in a global economy and what they experience now is something that film distributors already went through more than 10 years ago with DVD region codes. If its profitable to ship something from another part of the world where it is legally bought then people are going to do it.
IBM has come a long way from "Employment for Life" which was one policy that almost killed it.

A couple things jump out on this article:

1 - One analyst has estimated that IBM will cut 13,000 of its more than 434,000 workers, based on the amount of money set aside for the rebalancing This is actually very few. Cutting 3% is hardly a rebalancing. Many companies cut double that every year as part of annual performance management.

2 - "Just heard from a colleague in Bangalore that job cuts there have begun. Workers asked to leave on the spot. He claims 6 out of 23 people in his department." If that's the biggest you can find, again it's hardly notable. If you're in a division that's being sold off because it's low margin, expect a lot more.

3 - The one thing that did surprise me is that they're cutting first in India. Is that because of political pressure? Cutting 3% of your headcount in India won't cut 3% of your payroll costs, because the resources are so much cheaper there.

My heart is out to anyone who gets surprised with a cut. It's painful, especially if you are early in your career and don't have a lot of money tucked away. In the medium term it can be very empowering. In the long term, I don't know of anyone who was laid off who didn't say, "Good riddance!"
Not sure how this compares to the myriad other similar libraries that have been around for a while, like Lawnchair? That would have made a good section in this blog post.

But the real problem with offline storage is that Apple refuses to support IndexedDB, when every other browser vendor implemented it years ago (even IE!). My question is, why? I can think of three potential answers:

1. They just don't care about the web. (But in that case, why raise such a stink about not letting other web browsers run on iOS?)

2. They are incompetent. (But in that case, how have they made so much other great software? And IndexedDB isn't even very complicated. Even if it was, they could just copy Mozilla's or Google's open source implementation.)

3. It's a conspiracy to cripple HTML5 apps and encourage people to write native apps. (I don't like conspiracy theories, but it's hard to come up with a better explanation than this...)

Tiny streets like these? http://www.theguardian.com/world/2010/oct/16/french-protests...

>all that does is piss off every man and woman trying to live their life and work and get groceries.

That's the same thing it does everywhere else. The reason you have street protests is to disrupt what people are doing and have them focus on what you are saying.

The reason street protests "don't work" in the US is because of a combination of the precariousness and conservatism of the middle class. It's too big a risk for middle-class people to participate in a protest, and the majority of them are racist law-and-order voters who have voted to eliminate most of the rights of the accused and to militarize their police forces out of their fear of black and hispanic people. Now that we're afraid of the Middle East, we've eliminated most of the rights of the unaccused.

Europeans have a different history, and the development of civil rights there wasn't entirely born out of race-based fear, so their situation is different.

Here, only poor people and students protest, and they are completely ignored by a monolithic media except to be taunted, confronted by police at a ratio of 10 cops to a protester, and carted off to jail if their permits aren't current or if they step off the sidewalk.
