I agree that openness is the greatest value for Neo900.

Before Neo900 got announced I was considering Jolla as my next phone, but they failed to deliver on the 'truly open' promise.
The alternative would be to run something like Replicant/Cyanogenmod on an Android device, but with the Samsung backdoor news Cyanogenmod doesn't look too good.
And Replicant doesn't support GPS on any of its target devices.
So that really leaves little choice as to what phone I'll buy next, and currently Neo900 is at the top of my list.

Umm, conversations in a public meeting which are easily overheard by others are not private conversation.

To have a reasonable expectation of privacy in an otherwise public area, one must make some sort of effort to establish that privacy. For example, by speaking so softly that no one else can listen in without technological means, or move to a room with solid doors and walls so that the eavesdropper must place one's ear against the door to hear the conversation.

This applies everywhere. Homes are considered private areas, and having sex is (usually) considered a private act. But if I hear my neighbors talking dirty while having sex, then if I want I can complain to them or tell others about the problem, even if they mean for it to be a private act in a private area.

You see this breakdown of public/private conversations all the time. Someone talking on a cell phone while on a bus may consider the conversation private, but if 1/2 the bus can hear the speaker, it's certainly not private even if the custom is to ignore the speaker.

> it's just MergeSort with a few tweaks

"a few tweaks" is a bit of an understatement, at a high-level it's a hybrid of insertion and merge sort (it's an insertion sort below 64 elements, and it uses insertion sorts to create sorted sub-sections of 32~64 elements before applying the main merge sort)
I always get funny feelings when people use "ancient" and "modern" as argument, without further explanation. Not that it is an invalid point, mind you. But certainly one that would bear expanding on.
Even cash is slightly more "marked", since bills have serial numbers, and it's more difficult to launder large amounts of cash than to send BTC through a mixer. Doesn't help much in small-time cases like having $100 stolen from your wallet. But it makes it harder to make off with a large amount of cash and then actually spend it. A common way of tracking bank thieves is to blacklist the serial numbers and wait for alerts from cash-counting machines that check the blacklist (mostly at banks and back offices of large businesses). Then investigate the areas where blacklisted serial numbers pop up. It's not foolproof, but it makes it much harder to successfully do anything with $10m in stolen cash.
True. However, if the authorities find out you didn't involve them in dealing with a dead body, they may start with the assumption you didn't want them involved for worse reasons than just saving money.

while i will go off and read a few of the linked papers, this post doesn't do a great job, in my opinion, of showing a meaningful relationship between generalized constraint solvers and one-way dataflow constraints. i use one-way dataflow constraints because they are simple/natural/expressive. generalized constraint solvers are vastly more general, and i can't see how they would apply in a non-geometric setting. isn't cassowary only really interesting when there are inequalities? when there are only equalities, isn't the system either over-constrained (bad) or not (fine)? (to be fair, i haven't read the cassowary paper.) would i ever want code that expresses an object in terms of an inequality with another object? will i ever care about cyclic graphs of constraints between objects that actually require a solver to determine if they are over-constrained, and will any solver be able to do the right thing without knowing some properties of the constraints (e.g. linearity)? (cycles are the one thing i'm careful to avoid when i write one-way dataflow constraints in e.g. MVC code.)
This looks really nice, thanks for creating it.

Flowcharts are only guides, not requirements. The law is very clear. Complaints about harassment are not constrained to only a specific set of actions. Quoting from http://www.eeoc.gov/policy/docs/retal.html :

A complaint or protest about alleged employment discrimination
to a manager, union official, co-worker, company EEO official,
attorney, newspaper reporter, Congressperson, or anyone else
constitutes opposition. ...

A complaint about an employment practice constitutes protected
opposition only if the individual explicitly or implicitly
communicates a belief that the practice constitutes unlawful
employment discrimination\13. Because individuals often may not
know the specific requirements of the anti-discrimination laws
enforced by the EEOC, they may make broad or ambiguous
complaints of unfair treatment. Such a protest is protected
opposition if the complaint would reasonably have been
interpreted as opposition to employment discrimination.

"Whine on Twitter" and "Blog about it" are examples of "a complaint or protest .. [to] anyone else", and so constitutes opposition. If "harassment" here was meant to imply discriminatory treatment on the basis of sex - which seems to be the general consensus of this thread - then it would easily fall under "broad or ambiguous complaints of unfair treatment."

You can make up whatever ideas you want on what someone should or shouldn't do, but if you read the actual court cases you'll find that your views would protect workplaces with illegal discriminatory practices, including workplaces which actively support sexual harassment.

Russians were widely represented on Maidan. According to the poll from February, 16% of Maidan spoke Russian at home. [1] There are so much fuss about "fascist" Ukrainians, but surprisingly zero information any discrimination against Russians. So, nope. What about Pravyj Sektor -- you really can't find something more important to worry except their flag? For example, worry about ethnic Ukrainians in Crimea? Ukrainian channels were closed there, Ukrainian language will not be protected anymore in Russia, Ukrainian people are abused, beaten, kidnapped by Russians. That very real discrimination doesn't worry you comparing to hypothetical discrimination of Russians in Ukraine?

> "Bossy" means you are acting like a boss but in a way which is disapproved of.

I think your first point is stronger -- not that it's like a boss in a way that's disapproved of, but that it's like a boss in a way that's illegitimate or unearned. It's a challenge to the legitimacy of the leadership status of the person it's aimed at, in other words; a real boss can never be "bossy", because they have a legitimate right to boss people around. "Bossy" implies that the person it's aimed at doesn't have that right.

Yeah, in my OpenBSD work, we all skipped httpd and put in something else.

Personally, lighttpd for a long time, but then it failed to be maintained in keeping with OpenSSL libraries, so it was dropped for nginx, and no looking back since.
I like that the leadership tips were generally about building confidence, instead of playing the victim as would be expected by the campaign name (as long as you ignore the intro copy).

Really the only tip that matters is tip #9, which basically says people will give you shit but do it anyway. This is something all kids need to learn.

The incompatibility is with their beliefs, it's not technical. You can get Apache 2 in ports and packages. They disagre with the license, so it is not acceptable to them in base. It's the same reason they ship an ancient GCC in base, but once again, the newer ones are in ports. What they include in base OpenBSD is very special to them.

More components obviously reduce the reliability, but if the likelihood of failure of each of those redundant systems are independent (and to some degree even if they are dependent), at a high-level I believe it's just P(failure of system 1)P(2)P(3), so the likelihood of failure could pretty easily be made infinitesimal. On the other hand, there are lots of plane flights. :-)

The OpenBSD policy page is quite useless[0] on this, but I _believe_ the issue is that the Apache License 2.0 contains the patent clause that states something like "you can't sue apache if someone contributes stuff that infringes your patent", which limits the freedom of the openbsd users to sue apache.

The relevant thread[1] from the time may be of use, but a specific message sums it up:

"We've been clear: Their new license contains more stuff, and we do not accept MORE STUFF in licenses."

You've got to be kidding if you're complaining about taxes in Singapore... OTOH, there's a lot of complaining going on in Singapore : It's a national sport (more akin to the UK, IHMO, than the US).

FWIW, I lived in NYC for over a decade, moving to Singapore last September (2013). NYC is definitely more expensive.

It depresses me a bit to see this as the top comment. Anyway:

-The turn it made wasn't hairpin. Nobody knows the diameter of the turn. You've got confused by reading a summary map as an actual flight path.

-Transponders can be tripped easily, and pilots would know how.

Title is misleading. Seems to me opening control of the ICANN will mostly address concerns regarding trade marks.

I wonder if it's not a way to prevent a fragmentation of the internet.
Sounds like it's time for an anecdote!

In 2008, my web site saw some decent traffic, and I was stuck in a spiral of buying more and more expensive servers to keep up with the demand. Some of the media files were large, and slow downloads would tie up a thread, and corresponding chunk of memory.

I spent a long time working through the documentation that was available at the time, and I couldn't get anything to work stably with Django.

Then I found a guide for lighttpd, and was floored when the resources used by my web server dropped to single digits. Much later, I'd learn that even saturating a gigabit pipe with just html/css/image traffic ran fine.

Nginx has since replaced lighttpd, since the latter doesn't seem to be well maintained these days.

As I understand it, Apache now is capable of high performance, but once bitten twice shy. The whole thing just seemed to be a big, bloated mess to me. Like you can do everything imaginable, except what you actually want to do.

I couldn't imagine a feature that would exist to convince me to move back. I expect quite a few web developers are in the same boat.

Your criticism of the config file is nonsensical. I'd use nginx with Apache style configuration over the inverse in a heart beat - though I disagree it would be an improvement.
Thank you for explaining this with some clarity; it's early here, and I've been struggling to say this very thing.

Bash is fine, but it's not a sophisticated high-level language. For doing sophisticated things, a simplistic tool is not enough. We need processes that are deterministic and that can act intelligently. The "bash is fine" crowd, in my experience, tends to be the same crowd that thinks that servers are special snowflakes that we must feed and care for. Those days are over.
Good luck to you and your cardiovascular system!
yes but check it--the other part of the offer is that you must order two at a time. so, assuming you're not going to chow down two burgers on your own, you'll be introducing a new potential customer every time.
True .. and while I revisit the linked references some of which I'm familiar with (fran and ilk, for ex), I'd like to point out that having the list of references at the bottom of the post of something would be much more handy than scanning the text for normal words with weird colours.

It's quite unlikely that someone who orders a 1000 burgers is actually going to eat them. I can't picture myself eating 1000 of the same kind of burger .. or in the same place..

I guess most people would eat 200 burgers (I'd say at the high end..) which would come out to 5GBP per burger. Not bad for the establishment.. I can't think of any average but even 100 sounds high to me.

I haven't played "Fives" since.
This stuff is all fine and good for a few VMs. I wouldn't try to run a serious endeavor using them, unless I really wanted to spend a bunch of time diagnosing, debugging, and sweating.

The reason automation, CM, and devops have taken hold is because people are so goddamned tired of serving technology like it's some kind of god to which we owe worship. Screw that. I want the VMs to go make ME a sammich, not the other way around. Trying to build serious infrastructure using nothing but shell scripts is a quick trip to the temple of server-worship.
I not completely sure. One complaint was, if I recall correctly simply the length and complexity, compared the BSD license. The Apache 2.0 license is very much lawyer talk and a little hard to read.

More likely it was the patent clause of the license that made it so bad that the OpenBSD developers didn't want it. I can sort of see where they're coming from. If some company puts a bit of code into Apache 2, covered by one of their patents, that's okay, anyone using the Apache 2 gets a license. However it's pretty much impossible for anyone to tell which parts of the code is covered by the patent, so you could get in trouble, without knowing it, if you yank out that part of the code an use it elsewhere. The patent could also cover a protocol, an algorithm, whatever, the people using the Apache licensed code don't care, they where given a license for the pattern, but nobody else can do an implementation.

It's not for me to say, but I believe that the OpenBSD developers wanted an http server that came unencumbered by patent and was ensured to be free of any software patent. Instead the Apache 2.0 license presented them they the problem that you can actually tell if a given piece of code was covered under some patent.

That scenario is quite funny. Isn't it just a loss-leader model though? You will probably want sides and drinks (drinks have the highest margins).

In this author's case, he will be introducing new customers to the restaurant. In fact a stipulation "exactly two burgers" instead of "at least two burgers" would have been better. Also the opportunity cost of selling a table is fairly low (about 10 GBP if that is the cost of two burgers).

Personally, I have fallen in love with some burgers but after a month or two of obsessing I have to hold back because of satiation.
