This has more to do with the GitHub API and the way that they manage scopes than anything else:

https://developer.github.com/v3/oauth/#scopes

There just isn't much granularity there - GitHub OAuth enabled integrations that need repository access can jump from having no specified scope - which grants access to your profile data only - to scope 'public_repo', which grants read-write access to all the data you've listed above, in any public repository, and then to scope 'repo', which grants the same for public and private repos.

It's a shame, because most GitHub integrations I've seen seem to need enough access to just list your repositories (public and private) and ask your permission to enable a webhook on a given repo at your request.

There's no way to do that with GitHub OAuth at the moment without asking for the 'repo' scope, and along with it a whole load of privileges that most people just can't / won't feel comfortable granting.
Possibly more interesting... start the video from the beginning and they're talking about software patents. The same points were being brought up then as now.

An approach like greying out the path would be a good idea if it were in any way desirable for the path to be user-visible by default, but it isn't.
I find it to be evil to release a feature that is about security aside a feature that highlights the fact that you can Search Google. Separately we could debate the merits, but putting them together you've totally placed focus on security.
There is more that can be productively argued about this topic, at least for parties who decide to not insist otherwise. URLs won't go away as long as people are still sharing websites on social networks or their own websites. I don't see the problem with not displaying the entire URL at the top of the browser window, if no actual functionality it lost. I this case, there's not even any additional clicks required to perform the same operations with URLs.

Shipping ROMs was the same deal. You wrote an OS, or a game, and tested the crap out of it. Then you sent out for mask ROMs and waited like six weeks for them to come back, and you hoped that they worked.

My office mate was told to make three versions of the game she worked on, each ORG'd at a different address so that manufacturing could pick whichever configuration was cheaper to make. Q/A was able to test two of those, but didn't have the special test cartridge needed to test the third, and guess which one had a fatal error and didn't boot? $250K of ROMs wound up in the dump (next to E.T., for all I know).

We wrote a boot ROM for a consumer computer. We were pretty sure it worked, but again we lacked some hardware and had to ship the final version out for mask ROMs without testing. They came back and worked. I told the hardware test manager what we'd done, and it was the first time I'd ever seen someone turn white.

Newton was the same deal (except that we had a way to patch the ROMs through a snazzy jump table system).
Instinct is certainly handy and much faster than reason.

But, if instinct trumped logic as the author suggests, humans wouldn't be at the top of the food chain and driving cars.
If you are seeking meaning, consider attending an alpha course. It is a forum for atheist, agnostic, and Christian alike, on the topic of Christianity and faith. http://www.alpha.org/about

From the site: Alpha really is for anyone who’s curious. The talks are designed to encourage debate and explore the basics of the Christian faith in a friendly, honest and informal environment.
There is very good book on this topic "Thinking, Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman. Instincts can be very misleading sometimes.
It's not even NP-hard, because it's not well-defined and thus isn't even a decision problem.
It can't. It is processed on the advertisers behalf by Google.

If Google allowed it to actually be downloads, their competitors would be able to use it, so the processing is done within Google.

That doesn't make it any less of a product for advertisers.

I'd really like to see this broken down by established vocabulary and made up vocabulary. I think that would really start to show who were the best lyricists on both ends. Rappers with a lot of made up words might be on the far left, and rappers with a lot of unique words that aren't made up would be on the far right. Both sides of the scale would show rapping talent on different dimensions. Influential rappers like E-40 who add new words to the vocabulary, and wordy rappers like Aes on the right who use a really dense and descriptive vocabulary.

Life, as you experience it, is nothing more than a wash of chemicals acting on your brain. Even if you don't imbibe anything specifically intended to alter your brain chemistry, trying to change your thought patterns and behaviour to match some "meaningful ideal" or lifestyle does so anyway.

We're all just looking for the s/meaning of life/brain chemistry that makes us happy/g.
Other people's pleasure is not inherently valuable to me, just neutral. However, I do value other people's pleasure when it increases my pleasure.

It is pretty obvious why this applies to loved ones and friends, but it actually extends to all of society. A happier society is a better place to live, with more productivity, more to be inspired by (and not discouraged by), etc.
This is only wildly inaccurate, if you include rule based translation, which is based on hand-crafted models.

All statistical machine translation, of which Google Translate is one is based on professional translations. As far as I know all published methods rely on aligning them sentence-by-sentence.
Curious, are you familiar with the writings of Thomas Merton? Outside of Paradise Lost, the other book that made me realize the Christian leap is not without reason is, "The 7 Story Mountain"

Anyway, obviously you are a fully converted Christian, congratulations on your happiness ;-)
I did not make an appeal to popularity. I believe what the Church teaches, and I am perfectly happy being one sheep among billions in the sheepfold – that was my point.

The reason I pointed that out is that, other controversies aside, in an age of hyper-individualism, the fact that a set of beliefs is shared by so many is itself often an unstated motive for doubt.
I love what you are doing, so don't get me wrong but it's just a declaration of intent and not binding. Also, not being open source can make people question where actually the speed difference comes from. Did you trade stability with speed? A shortcut for a common operation? Who knows!
Yes, initially
My original point in this thread is that it is impossible to have a political system where someone doesn't force someone else to do something. None of these historical examples of polycentric law disprove that claim, and in none of these examples did the least powerful members of society have the right to choose their legal system.

These are all basically just examples of decentralized governance over a large set of clans/ethnic groups. The Roman Empire example is particularly flawed as a piece of evidence toward the question of whether a political system without force is possible. Flawed to the point of extreme intellectual laziness and blatant disregard for historical truth.

Also, some other notes about your last reply:

1. Not everyone who disagrees with you is an "ignorant" tool of the "dominant paradigm" and "incapable of research". If you believe your political opinions to be that infallible, you're extremely niave.

2. Our societies today have real, systemic problems. These problems are important. But your current rhetorical approach (domination! exploitation! slavery!) is very ineffective. It makes you sound like a crack-pot. This isn't intended as an insult or meant to discredit you. I'm simply describing my perception -- one I'm sure many people share -- and offering some advice regarding rhetoric. You don't have to change your claims, just tone it down and be more specific.

This is fascinating. I'm only a recent listener of hip-hop (primarily because of Earl Sweatshirt and Odd Future) and I'm in awe of the vernacular.

And similarly, as a boredom exercise a few weeks ago I did some lexical analysis of the song Timber (the monstrosity was being constantly played on the radio at the time) and here's what I came out with:

"83.1% of the words in the lyrics are five letters or less, 58.9% are four letters or less. The lexical density (the number of unique words divided by the total number of words, multiplied by one-hundred) is 29.1%. There is only one word in the song which has three or more syllables. Eleven people were involved with the writing of the song, each of them capable of producing just nine unique words each."
Why should it make copying, pasting, or editing URLs more difficult? Right now in stable Chrome, you click once on the URL bar and it selects the entire URL. Then you can Ctrl-C to copy, Ctrl-V to paste, or click again to put the cursor in a specific place to edit it. That shouldn't be any different with this new Chrome feature they're testing.
Would you say the same to the guy who discovered atheism at the age of 7, somewhere at the top of this thread?
There is just the tiny problem of what the military world order China will support (although I'm thankful it's not the middle east). This seems to me a pretty serious problem, and frankly the reason they will not stay the biggest for long. But it's going to hurt everyone, just like it did before.

People forget what history looked like before the "pax Americana", because it's lasted more than a generation now. Even before that there was the colonial "peace" (compared to what came before it, it certainly was peaceful, compared to after, maybe not so peaceful), so even the pre-baby-boomer generation does not really remember what was the norm of history before WWI.

Let's just hope it'll all be different this time. That China will not do what it did in the early medieval times. That either the middle east will not reunite, or that it somehow will act differently this time. That the Russian situation does not resume the cold war (which wasn't all that cold in Eastern Europe as plenty of Americans know first-hand).

There is the strategic theory that there has been peace because of the superpowers. Let's just hope that that is very wrong, and that it can survive 3 or 4 superpowers.

What are you doing computing heavy stuff in JS for?
Japanese does have the phenomenon of being able to ascribe meaning to digits though, even though it's not common to do so in URLs.

In school in japan, kids often learn tricks for memorizing multiplication tables and square roots this way, similar to how US high school students have a song for the roots of a quadratic (-b /- root(b^2-4ac... to the tune of Pop Goes The Weasel).

For example:

sqrt 2 = 1.41421356 (night after night, I watch/take care of someone)

sqrt 5 == 2.236069 (a parrot sings at Mount Fuji)

sqrt 6 == 2.44949 (cook the meat well)

sqrt 7 == 2.64575 (there are no bugs in the cabbage)

sqrt 8 == 2.828 (smile)

Breaking down the first one as an example, sqrt(2) : 一夜一夜に人見頃 (hitoyohitoyonihitomigoro)

hito (一) = 1, hitotsu -- the counter term for nights, like "yi ge" in chinese

yo (夜) = 4, this is the chinese reading of "night/evening". this character is pronounced "ye`" in mandarin. in japanese, in common speech you would say "yoru" for night.

[then repeat 一夜 -- actually sounds poetic and makes it mean "nightly" or "every night"]

ni (に) = 2, the same sound also is a particle indicating place or time

hito (人) = 1, pronounced the same as 1, but the character 人 is a homophone for person. person could also be pronounce jin (chinese reading, close to "ren" in mandarin) which is how it would be pronounced if combined with other chinese characters, like "nihonjin".

mi (見) = 3, in japanese, if you recite the numbers from 1 to 10 you would say "san" for 3, but to count items, you would say "mittsu". for example, the company "mitsubishi" has the number 3 (三) as the first character of it's name and it is pronounced "mi" like in this context. mi could mean a ton of other things too, like "ear" (耳) or "body" or "flesh" (身). This digit has a lot of flexibility.

goro (頃) = 56, 5==go, 6==roku. goro is unambiguously understood to be 56. and "koro" or "goro" describes the duration during which something is occuring -- basically "time".

To me this is very similar to the neumonic that US elementary school kids use to learn the planets: "My very educated mother just served us nine pies".

And just like you can use an alternate sentence like "My Very Energetic Mother Jumps Skateboards Under Nana's Patio", Japanese syllables are rich enough that you could construct totally different phrases to walk through those digits.

Japanese is arguably richer than Chinese for this because there are multiple pronunciations for each digit. 2 can be "fu" (like in Fuji above) or "ni" (a preposition like "in" in root 7).

Its a nice touch including portmanteaus and 'incorrect' ebonics on the list (like "ery'day"), since authors like shakespeare, joyce and others took the same liberties with language.

Yet this is just a declaration for now, we do not have any intention to keep it closed source. There is no need to trade stability with speed since most of the 'current' performance difference with JXcore comes from less amount of JS <-> native switches and better memory management. Very soon we will be open sourcing it! Thanks
Don't understand why you've been downvoted

This article even mentions Hindi-Arabic numbers, which is an interesting thing to me as a student of the Arabic language

My teacher explained to us once, the numbers we use are called Arabic numbers, but Arabs don't actually use them... they use Hindi numbers. ١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩٠

Which is twice as funny as Arabs not actually using Arabic numbers, because (he said) especially Muslims are very prejudiced against Hindi people and Hindu religion. He would say things like "silly Hindu", then have a big belly laugh and get back to serious classwork.

I think they're actually talking about copyright. Apple famously lost a big copyright infringement "look and feel" case against Microsoft, partially on the grounds that software can't be copyrighted. This was one of the catalysts for the switch to patents as a means of defending software novelty.

Seems unlikely; altitudes are normally managed in multiples of 100, e.g. FL350 = 35,000 ft. But of course it depends on the system's internal data structures.
If a U2 can set its own altitude on the transponder the other possibility here is that the flight operator set it to an incorrect altitude that appeared it was flying in the same airspace as commercial planes but not within standard corridors.

This would generate significant number of collision warnings, given how busy LA regional airspace is, and that in turn might have demonstrated a limit to the number of simultaneous collion events this new ATX system can handle.

The intent isn't to hide the URL from technical people like scammers... Its to hide it from nontechnical people. It's easier to train your grandparents to look at a shortened URL containing just the domain name, and having them verify that is what they expect - as all the distracting bits of the URL are gone...

"Let instinct trump logic" - bad advice. Instinct is simply pattern matching current conditions against memory. Without experience, instinct is a poor criteria and logic should be employed. Read Kahneman for the supporting research into that.

I'd also recommend Jonathan Haidt's The Righteous Mind (http://www.amazon.com/The-Righteous-Mind-Politics-Religion/d...). He makes a lot of interesting points, including that most people come to a conclusion about an issue, then look for reasoning to support it, and that most of us operate on instinct most of the time—logic is a more costly, difficult mode whose use can be cultivated but which is not at all the default.

The UnderSea Internet
If there was some level of abstraction/automation to allow addressing physical mail without knowing street numbers, zip codes, etc., I would be fine with that. I imagine there is actually a lot of problems with mail delivery because of the messiness of addresses. I've encountered it a few times in the USA (some carriers want "Route P" but some want "Highway P," and some want "Suite 404" but some want "4th Floor"), and I bet it can get even messier, especially in poorer countries.

The osxc website and documentation is riddled with basic grammar and spelling errors and incorporates slang like "osxc got your back". That doesn't inspire much confidence.

Riffing off of Robert Wright's book Non-Zero [1]:

* Consider the apparent self-assembling of the universe over the last 13.8 billion years.

* Consider the seeming overall long-term trend (certainly not a monotonic one) of "improvement" in life. Adapting Gregg Easterbrook's thought experiment [2]: Would you permanently trade places with a random person who lived 1,000 years ago? How about 10,000 years ago? Would anyone, at any time, do so?

It's a defensible proposition that, as theologian Philip Hefner put it, we are created co-creators [3]. To what end? Who knows. But if past performance is any indication, it'll be pretty neat.

From this perspective, conducting one's life in accordance with (a weak version of) Pascal's Wager [4] seems like a reasonable course of action.

I thought life is all about launching a minimal viable product, tweaking it to narrow in on product/market fit, and then scaling up. You mean there's more to life AFTER that ?! oh brother. I'll worry about that once I get there
> Okay, once you do that, what do you charge?

That seems like a strong candidate for pricing that reflects the realities of the market: Make the monthly fee include a line item for the cost of installing fiber on your street amortized over the first few years and divided by the number of subscribers on your street who have committed to a multi-year contract. A street gets fiber as soon as someone signs up, but they have to commit to a very large bill if they're the only one. Let people sign up contingent on that price falling below some threshold. That way you get universal service availability but no customers are unprofitable. Then if the city wants to help the poor it can subsidize their fee which doubles your bang for the buck because the lower price creates more sign ups which lowers the unit cost.

> Companies aren't building fiber because there isn't enough money in it under existing regulatory regimes.

That's the whole point of municipal fiber -- to have the municipality front the capital so you don't have to cater to private interests.

> The states and cities are totally bankrupt.

Not all cities are as broken as Chicago or Detroit.
I'd say the phrase, "nobody wins an argument", most definitely applies to debates between believers and non-believers; i.e. he's not arguing in favor of Christianity, but rather is in the business of saving souls.
