If you truly believe in this line of reasoning, then make a deal with someone to pay you a million dollars per every round of russian roulette you survive. This way you'll make a version of you in one of Everett branch incredibly rich. And maybe even able to give money to that branch's version of Bill Gates.

Many sites including Youtube did get blocked in the past, but safe to say this one is different. It is an explicit attempt to silence non-traditional media by the government. They have been working on controlling the traditional media (TV, newspapers, etc.) for a long time.

Recently, social media has been making a bigger impact, hence the explicit play. Current administration sees itself in an existential struggle and willing to do anything to stay in power. The model that they aspire seems to have switched from the west to Russia/China.

Whether they will be able to succeed in silencing social media will have implications beyond Turkey.
For the time being, Twitter is accessable from within Turkey using the DNS of the biggest ISPs of Turkey, 195.175.39.39
Alternatively, ditch GIFs entirely and use bandwidth-friendly and feature-friendly HTML5 video.
It seems like you're mixing another comment of mine with what I wrote above. For what it's worth, I like Louis CK's approach - it looks like a great post-copyright business model.

But your original comment is orthogonal to working within the system. Saying that companies have to "protect their trademarks or lose them" is indeed true in the strict legal sense. But a company could legally "protect" their trademark by issuing yearly licenses for token compensation for products that they consider different enough, but the law might not.

By taking the strict legal definition out of its narrow context, you imply that a company has no choice but to act a certain way, when in fact there are specific people responsible for its behavior. We should not allow these people abdicate their reasoning by promoting the idea that the expected corporate action is the only possible course.
My favourite comments are the ones where some random geeks tell the guys who have built a multi-billion dollar business with hundreds of millions of daily active users how they're doing it wrong.

Congrats to Facebook on taking PHP forward. It powers a vast amount of the web and it's great to see that it's getting some engineering love!
PhD in STEM, if it matters. And as someone who specifically and directly moved from one city to another because I didn't like the local policies (school district, in this case), I'm a straightforward and simple example of someone who left one social contract for another and paid for the privilege, thanks.

(If I repeat the word "wrong" a few more times, will it improve my opinion?)

The mistake of both libertarians and liberals in these loud arguments is that they focus on the top (national government) where the real social contracts start locally. If you start to build up a system of local social contracts; well, if it quacks like a government, it's a government, even if you'd rather call it a Homeowner's Association with Guns.
Maybe the real problem is that so many people are susceptible to cheesy attack ads from PACs. Maybe we should try to fix that instead.

Don't want to discourage you but we had this "unprecedented, people who are normally not interested in politics are getting involved" thing in Moscow a few years ago and it all died out. Turns out they just sit in their office and pretend nothing happens. And it works unless you actively overthrow them.

Of course they say Russians are a nation of slaves but there you go.

Yes, the Gates foundation is literally trying to cure disease, but alternatively consider malaria in sub-Saharan Africa to be caused by the relative poverty there (after all, they have the same vaccine and prevention technology available as the US does, just not enough money to buy it). In that sense, even finding a cure for disease is itself treating the symptoms of a figurative disease. And that disease is cured by economic growth, better care of natural resources, reaching a technological singularity - things that Musk might be working on.
Not sure I understand the point... ? The reason for correlating against price is in hope of finding a leading indicator to movement so that you can better understand the relationship between bitcoin price and some other metric.

This is a wrong analogy because it doesn't involve grave accusations of a third party (Portugal's economy in my case and github in the other).
As mathattack has correctly pointed out in a comment an hour ago, this is a parable (a made-up story). The huge salary by that day's standards should make that clear. But the unnamed author makes his hiring methods look stupid, because he should be doing a work-sample test[1] before hiring for such an expensive contract. If he doesn't know what the worker will actually do, he shouldn't put so much money on the line.

This is absurdly cool.
I rather think lambdas, generics and type inference are straight out of ML, especially as hack is written in OCaml.

So the lack of soundness is in the C++ templates spec.

Nevertheless, I think it's bad form for a compiler to take full advantage of undefined behaviour. Reinterpreting undefined behaviour as “should not compile” (failing that, “must crash”) is possible for almost all of C99; CompCert (formally verified C compiler) obviously does it, and the implementation is the easy part (formal verification being the complicated part).
I haven't considered the subject thoroughly enough to have an opinion either way, but your comment made me think of this letter: http://www.lettersofnote.com/2012/08/why-explore-space.html

50% less CPU use for the main thread.

Mantle has the same CPU savings, and during discussions on that game developers have talked about how in many (most?) games, up to 50% of your CPU time is spent in the drivers. Considering how many games I've run into lately where single-core performance is the bottleneck, this doesn't surprise me at all.

Mantle and DX12 strip out a lot of layers, optimize a lot of what it keeps, and spread a good chunk of the remaining load over multiple threads, meaning that instead of trying to use 120% of core 0 and 15% of cores 1-3, you can use 60% of core 0 and 25% of cores 1-3 (just as a hypothetical made-up example).
I'm not sure why you think this is unsound. We check traits in isolation -- we ensure that methods you call are either defined in the trait or declared abstract (and so must be defined in the including class). We also added "trait requirements" to the language, so you can say "the including class must implement this interface" ("require implements IFoo") and we'll know that in the type system too. This means that we can ensure traits are sound even in isolation, and that including classes are sound when they include the traits.

Feel free to play around with the type system in the interactive code editor on http://hacklang.org/.

It is nontrivial to switch millions of people over to a completely new platform and reestablish the literally billions of connections among them, nor is Twister's infrastructure ready to handle the influx.

For now, Twitter over VPN/TOR is the only workable solution.

On further reflection, I have to concede that it is not a particularly good example of the wisdom of crowds idea.

Whilst I still think you can interpret his experiment as showing something about how and why WoC can go wrong, essentially along the lines I previously argued, it is not obvious, and there is some subtlety in the interpretation.

Your original phrasing "the "wisdom of crowds" part of the title is a bit unfortunate" seems most appropriate; indeed the word "crowd" doesn't appear in the rest of the piece.

What would your response be if I posited that money is memory? That money is a token that represents ("in the abstract") the memory of an exchange for goods and services?

It is this memory that allows me to buy a camera from someone who doesn't know me. She knows that I earned the money somehow by giving something of value away to another member of society.

Would this be harder or easier to explain to a 3rd grader, and do you think this explanation has merits?
Exactly: that's what the author of the piece is doing. He's had bad luck with a certain type of person while having much better luck with other types of people, and he's analyzing the reasons for that.

Hi, The method for blocking websites in Turkey is through ISP's DNS servers. So when you don't use a Turkish ISP DNS server you are all good with most of the blocked sites. Some websites, especially popular porn sites are blocked through the IP. In such cases you need a VPN or proxy.

The tool you are using to check Twitter servers probably don't use a Turkish DNS server.

If you don't believe, check the website status from the Informational Technology and Communication presidency of Turkey website: http://eekg.tib.gov.tr/

It is worth noting GCE is more expensive now that AWS was back in 2011.

According to Netflix article the AWS experiment did run at a cost $561 per 2h, that is ~$280 per hour. Perhaps they were not utilized the cluster fully in those 2h in which case we should multiply the 1h test that performed 500k inserts per second, in that case the cost would be $182*2 = ~$365 per 1h.

GCE test did run at the cost of $330 per hour. Give or take few dollars difference if anything it's surprising GCE can do at roughly the same cost what AWS was capable of 2+ years ago.

Saying all that GCE guys did a great effort. I wonder though how much speed you can squeeze from AWS and at what cost now when AWS is sporting SSD disks.
it was an illusion. yes i am from istanbul.
tl;dr: look for integrity.

some of the most brilliant hackers i know are rightfully afraid of going into business with the kind of "brilliant men" described in this article.

just as non-technical founders benefit from learning to code for a myriad of reasons, hackers should do careful due diligence on a potential business partner. ask questions. require them to invest in the relationship. blow away the smoke and mirrors if you see their evidence, until you see that person in a humble light.

most of the time, this kind of salesperson is masking deep personality flaws which you can actually live with in exchange for the benefits, on one condition: the existence of abiding integrity.

so many of these relationships are predatory but they don't have to be if you find ways to get them to show you their character. see how they treat their friends. travel with them. build something together.

something a friend taught me is "H.A.L.T." = hungry, angry, lonely, tired. 1) don't make decisions when you're in any of these states; 2) it applies to choosing a business partner but here, you WANT to see them this way. you can learn a lot about a person when their basic needs are momentarily threatened, including how they treat you and others. so don't be dazzled, find them in a humble light because that's where a person's character is revealed.

the ones you want are comfortable with their humility.

Red is also a well known Fluke colour. It's used in their "intrinsically safe" line.

I'm not sure if they have a patent on it right enough.
I gave it a shot in this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7437083. I think this description fits pretty well with most people's idea of what is and isn't a "government," although most people probably have never tried to explain their own internal definition.
It is a DNS based block. If that server uses a custom dns or has different caching rules etc, it would not be affected from the block.

I'm between my current 2013 macbook pro and a ThinkPad - both are great machines. Make sure you have an SSD and decent memory (8GB+ RAM) - most developers need little more. The main advice; if you're getting a laptop to travel with, get one which is quite light and has excellent build quality, it's absolutely worth the extra money.
I have no experience with Microsoft, but my experiences with equivalent legal departments in other big tech. companies matches his view - they play it safe to the point of being insanely anal about it. These guys aren't there to make sure the company can do as much as possible, they're there to make sure there's no way anything can go wrong legally, and given its their asses on the line if they take too big a risk, they'll always stray way away from the edge.

Not gonna happen until html5 can be set up to autoplay on mobile, and can be copy-pasted into your messaging app and will autoplay there too. I suspect there are other requirements, but much as I love the idea of moving away from gifs (for bandwidth at LEAST) there are a set of things that only gifs can do.

Side note: autoplaying html5 would be a massive annoyance, because html5 video can have audio.
Nope, has to be triggered by a user action (like a tap), and can only play full screen. Also, if you loop a video, the control bars flash up then fade away each time it loops.
I doubt they're getting any serious PR from this. I've been to Fluke HQ. They're a pretty small company, full of incredibly nice people.
private corporation. Big difference. They also do not plan on going public until their Mars program is established.
As I said, Sparkfun could rework them domestically to change their appearance, avoiding destruction and avoiding sending them back to China.

Also, does anyone have tips on how to get the smell out after accidentally using an overripe banana to "test" my breaker panel? I thought checking the color would be sufficiently safe :/

The same happened in Turkey last summer too. You might have heard, "the Gezi protests". Looking back, the whole thing just made everyone a bit more extreme on their views. Some government officials just ignored the situation while the prime minister went on a campaign to stop the so called "looters" (yes he did call the protesters that) from "disrespecting the public opinion". Now? It's a flame war between many groups, with some scandals here and there for what it seems to be entertainment only. Everyone, and I mean everyone -including me- seems to ignore everything opposed to what they believe. I try to be objective, but I can't. People believe in "stuff". I'm still getting amazed by how interested we are in believing in something and the lengths we can go just to keep our beliefs' integrity.

If you know of an approach that succeeds 100% of the time, I look forward to hearing about it. But choosing North Korea as your counterexample in opposition to modest government investment in long-term poverty reduction/capital creation efforts like education and health care is a ridiculous straw man. No statistics are available, but they surely must be one of the worst.
> My definition of government is not merely a set of functions performed, but rather the way they are performed, funded, chosen, etc.

Given that that's not anything remotely like the common use of the term (which is about functions), maybe you should use a more appropriate term to avoid confusion.

A standing desk is a great way to encourage people to get up and move while they work instead of sitting 8 hours a day. And at 399 this sounds like a great solution to get more people up and about.

As someone who checks in to see what's new (and affordable) in the world of stand up desks each month I'm really looking forward to seeing how this pans out.
"Legal" and "compliance" offices are not unusual in large organizations; they do exactly what they sound like they do. Legal is the lawyers. Compliance is the group that audits the organization and ensures all relevant legal and industry regulations are being met.
