I've used submodules before to separate game assets and it just ended up being more trouble than it's worth. The problem is that it separates the history between your two repositories so it takes more time to figure out which asset commit relates to which code commit. In the end, we just merged everything back into one repository.
Anyone with any experience in the SEO world knows that Danny Sullivan doesn't have a fucking clue anymore. He's no different than a talking head reporting on the daily ups and downs of the stock market on your local news.
The problem, at it's root, is a set of self-reinforcing cycles, such as:

1. More men than women

2. Male harrasers feel safe to harass women

3. Women do not feel welcome

4. Women leave

5. Goto 1

Or:

1. Harassers target women in ways that are deniable and/or less visible

2. Well meaning men assume that if they if don't see it, it must not be happening very often

3. Women get tired of having their personal experiences questioned, denied, dismissed, and belittled

4. Women stay silent, or leave

5. The impression among bystander men that this must not happen that often is strengthened, emboldening harassers

6. Goto 1

Etc.

Given that, it is entirely fair to say to non-harrasser men that if they are not actively part of the solution, they are still pàrt if the problem.
One more clarification: this is for chromeDesktopSource - I do not believe you'll have to use chooseDesktopMedia or create an extension to get access to the webcam video or audio stream. This is just about desktop media (screen, tab or app window) access.

I don't see a likelihood for any vaguely symmetrical hot war anytime soon. Who would we fight? Russia probably doesn't need fighting, just cut off their trade and wait. China and the US are far too dependent on each other. Europe wants to be buddies with everyone. Nobody else has the capability. If those situations change, by the time they do, I think sending manned aircraft into war zones to get shot at will be an obsolete technique, akin to sending in battleships to fight an enemy navy after the rise of the aircraft carrier. Another couple decades of technological advances will change things a lot.
And people just started doing this mid-November 2012? Or Google only really started taking it into account then?

A lot of people have been giving earnest, authoritative sounding SEO advice, but I don't think anyone really knows except Google.
Comcast: We Don't Have Caps, We Have 'Data Thresholds'
I don't have an answer, but I have an additional complaint. Git itself is pretty terrible at dealing with large repositories if for no other reason than because "git clone" has no resume feature. If your internet connection is interrupted at any point during the initial clone it dies and you have to start over. This means that on an unreliable internet connection it is nearly impossible to clone large repositories.
My uncle bought his house and pays $300/month in a neighbourhood where rent is $1,500/month on a similar home. He is near the end of a 30-year loan, and will retire soon, paying just property taxes and upkeep. Keeping the long-term in mind, it seems better to buy.

Maybe a farmer uses them to monitor the state of his crops and even spot treat unhealthy areas without installing a huge static sensor network.

Could also be used for intrusion detection on a large property. A small group of drones could detect and instantly let you know when somebody trespasses on your land. Again, without installing static cameras/sensors.

Search and rescue could be made more effective.

Time to start auctioning IPv4 ranges. Is there anything in the terms that prevents such an auction? Putting a price on ranges should redistribute IPv4 ranges to those who need them. It's certainly simpler than coming up with a set of rules for usage.

Yeah, the line breaks ruin it for me.

I don't understand the point of it, either. Poems and the like could easily be handled by a special mode, similar to code blocks. Are there other situations where forced newlines would be useful? There may be, but I can't think of any.

Either way, severely restricting how text – source code – can be organized just to simplify some rare special cases seems like a bad idea. It's a shame, since the rest of it looks really nice.
By the way, I find it interesting that Fedora supports IPv6:

$ host -t AAAA fedoraproject.org
fedoraproject.org has IPv6 address 2001:4178:2:1269::fed2

fedoraproject.org has IPv6 address 2610:28:3090:3001:dead:beef:cafe:fed4

while Red Hat doesn't:

$ host -t AAAA redhat.com
redhat.com has no AAAA record

The Real world scenario is that people pay about $500/mo for a /24 I heard - kind of a black market thing.
If you can do arbitrary computations, you can do loops and conditionals and whatever else you want. FHE claims to support arbitrary computations, so by definition it must support the ability to do any loop or any conditional.

Think of it this way: A conditional is "if this, do that." If the conditional is true, then the branch is executed. The output of the branch is still encrypted, but it's not true that you need the decryption key just to evaluate the branch. Right?

Why 3D Printing Is Overhyped (I Should Know, I Do It For a Living)
Tug-of-war is fun, I used to be the 'anchor' for my form high school team. However it's one of the few games where you're potentially pitting the total exertable force of a group (in our case 8 adolescents) against the minimum resistance of your opponent.

Our instance: we were the best team all through highschool because we were well coordinated. One of our last games we faced a decently weighted team, but their anchor was neither strong nor heavy. Flag dropped, we heaved and charged back. Their anchor had wrapped the rope around him and twisted it (basically knotting himself in. We caught them off guard and dragged him between his team mates. He was really cut up from being dragged between people's legs (and everyone wears cleats).

It's fun, but it really punishes anyone who's stupid. Our teacher used to walk around and whack anyone who wrapped their hands in the rope due to people getting broken hands.

It's the exact same as the idiot who goes on field when people are throwing javelins, discus and shot put.
FTR, hcrypt predates indistinguishability obfuscation by a couple of years. As far as I can tell this really is a straightforward VM working with homomorphically-encrypted opcodes and data, and not an implementation of Garg and friends's work.

Theoretically speaking, I doubt this method holds: there is no theoretical analysis of it at all in the papers to support it. It certainly doesn't hold in the virtual blackbox model, which is what the theorem alluded above assumes.
It definitely is interesting, in a horrifying sort of way.

Those of us who grew up towards the end of the Cold War (I'm assuming most of the participants in this conversation fit that) got exposed to nuclear war as The End of the World As We Know It, a brief, rapid orgy of destruction that leaves everyone dead. And by the 80s, that was probably about right unless the superpowers could figure out some way to keep the war limited in scale.

But there were two or three decades before that stage where the situation was pretty complicated. Nuclear bombs started out envisioned as being an improved version of the strategic bombing campaigns of WWII. (And indeed, neither Hiroshima nor Nagasaki were the deadliest ones.) As bombs grew in number and power and bombers got better, there was a whole series of moves and countermoves involving better bombers, better interceptors, better radars, short-range ballistic missiles, tactical weapons up to and including nuclear bazookas, ICBMs, ICBM countermeasures, ICBM counter-countermeasures, ICBM counter-counter-countermeasures, submarines armed with ballistic missiles, submarines armed with nuclear torpedoes....

There are three fictional treatments of nuclear war which, to my limited and imperfect knowledge, appear to give a pretty realistic picture of what a real war would have looked like.

Two, surprise surprise, focus on the Cuban Missile Crisis. Everybody knows that it came close to a nuclear war, but until I read these, I didn't realize that it literally came down to a single officer objecting to the launch of a nuclear torpedo while on a submarine, while two other officers were in favor and tried to convince him.

Those two are The Cuban Missile War (http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=...) and The Cuban Missile Crisis: Second Holocaust (http://mrtomecko.weebly.com/uploads/1/3/2/9/13292665/what_if...).

Spoiler alert: both end up with the US largely intact and Russian reduced to an extremely niche language, as the disparity in nuclear arms between the two nations in 1962 was enormous.

Then there's Warday (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warday) which deals with the aftermath of a limited and quick war in the 80s.

No doubt all three have inaccuracies, but I think they paint a much more realistic picture of the situation than the more typical "mutants everywhere" or "literally every single human being dies" treatment.
Google Developing Tablet With Advanced Vision Capabilities
How is the output to a conditional an encrypted boolean? A conditional is "if this, do that." That means if the conditional is true, the branch is executed. The output wouldn't be an encrypted boolean; the output would be whatever the branch does. Right?

No, FHE supports arbitrary computation. That's the point of FHE.

"The new service [UberRUSH] signals the company's expansion beyond local transportation and into the much larger world of urban logistics.

You are talking about the difference between good content, and what is perceived to be good content.

Until google fully develops AI to actually analyse content, it has to go on meta data about content to judge it. This can be length of content. This can be things like images.
some of these problems / symptoms can be framed as a dependency-management problem, which can be addressed by other tools: http://blogs.atlassian.com/2014/04/git-project-dependencies/

Friend of mine had to get gammaglobulin shots for a few years (8 or so years ago): The stuff supposedly cost about 10k a vial, because it was filtered out of the plasma of many of people per vial and put through several complicated processes to isolate and sterilize it.

In practice, I imagine they'd outsource the internet connectivity bit to cellular carriers (as is the case for OnStar and similar at the moment) and those companies would be the ones to worry about provisioning IP addresses.
Snowden wasn't the first NSA whistleblower. Wikipedia lists 4 other NSA employee whistleblowers. And every one of them was investigated by the FBI, subject to armed raids, or otherwise persecuted. Surely NSA employees know what they're dealing with better than we do (and I don't mean that in a good way).
I saw a tug-of-war disaster happen once. I was working at a summer camp, and we had a giant tug-of-war with around 50 kids / side at the end of every two week session. I was refereeing and the rope snapped right in front of me. Sounded like a gunshot.

There was one serious injury: the first kid on the left side had his arm broken -- it was bent to a 45 degree angle, but luckily didn't break the skin. Nothing else, though, which was extremely lucky. Someone could easily have lost an eye. Heck, I could have seeing as I was standing right where it snapped.

I remember that the kid was from Mexico and didn't speak English at all. I think he was eight or nine. He was freaking out, and I figured out that he was asking if they would have to remove his arm. His older brother was refusing to translate anything for me, so I had to reassure him in my non-existent Spanish. (I'm Canadian so we learn French, not Spanish)

That was over 20 years ago, but that post sure brought back the memories.

Without an existing system it would be slow, but possible. I often teach people to memorize the order of black and red in a deck of cards forwards and backwards within 15-20 minutes, even if they have no previous experience or system. (The equivalent of 52 random binary digits.) Memorizing binary data is significantly easier though.
In theory, leasing should be much better, since cars don't appreciate in value, negating one of the advantages of owning. In practice, lease prices are so high that it seldom makes sense to lease.
I am paying attention, that is why I question the very existence of these types of sites. Everything you mentioned was possible long before the invention of the telegram... what is your point? I will stick to my guns here: Most of these sites tend to afflict one with or are used because of ennui, in my opinion. Beyond that... nothing.
the problem is you won't know the answer to your equality comparison.

You don't need to know the answer, though.

if (x == 5) { print "hello world"; }
else { print "goodbye world"; }

The output of the above program would be either "hello world" or "goodbye world". The output is encrypted, so you won't be able to tell. However, it's not true that you needed the decryption key to evaluate "x == 5". That must mean you can do arbitrary conditionals, loops, branching etc without the decryption key.

If I'm wrong about this, I don't understand why.

Lack of code reuse. (other than copy and paste) So they probably do the same thing over and over in different parts of the application.

Why Google should make .im a gccTLD
Does anybody know the reason why the .im TLD (Isle of Man) is not a "gccTLD" -- and thus not geotargetable in the Google Webmaster Tools?

Here's Google's support article describing what "gccTLDs" are:
https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1347922

The Isle of Man has about 84,497 inhabitants -- not that much. In contrast to this, there are tons of websites that use the .im TLD for other purposes, mainly messenger applications:

* ejabberd.im = XMPP server
* trillian.im = multi-platform messenger
* imo.im = mobile messenger
* whistle.im = secure mobile messenger
* plus.im = mobile messenger
* pidgin.im = XMPP messenger
* disa.im = mobile messenger
* peer.im = group chats
* prosody.im = XMPP server
* adium.im = messenger for Mac
* tox.im = secure messenger
* doit.im = to-do list / time and task management
* tweet.im = frontend for Twitter / messenger applications
* hosted.im = business communication
* blah.im = XMPP server
* coccinella.im = XMPP messenger
* oneteam.im = business communication
* delete.im = ephemeral messaging
* thenews.im = frontend for Hacker News / Designer News

Other TLDs (all of them belonging to larger countries) have already been made a gccTLD:

* .cd = Democratic Republic of the Congo = 77,433,744 inhabitants
* .co = Colombia = 47,425,437 inhabitants
* .la = Laos = 6,695,166 inhabitants
* .dj = Djibouti = 810,179 inhabitants
* .me = Montenegro = 625,266 inhabitants
* .sr = Suriname = 566,846 inhabitants
* .bz = Belize = 334,297 inhabitants
* .ws = (Western) Samoa = 194,320 inhabitants
* .fm = Federated States of Micronesia = 106,104 inhabitants
* .sc = Seychelles = 90,024 inhabitants
No I didn't. I attacked the premise. Someone is attempting to piggyback the agile manifesto to express their own personal opinion.

That opinion may or may not be valid, and is up for debate, but my point is that you can't just put up a website with your opinion on and say it's the "new" agile manifesto.

The rest of the discussion on here is about whether those opinions are correct - I was addressing the fact that the real, original, agile manifesto wasn't just "some bloke's opinion", it was the opinions of well known thought leaders that had distilled their experience and knowledge into an easily understood manifesto.
E-Commerce Is A Bear
Now that’s your problem: the Minimal Infrastructure for Working Remotely
I tried and liked the iOS P2P app getLoopd.com. I suggested to a friend who is an event organizer, he and agreed to try it at one of his mixers. He encouraged us to keep our iPhones in our pockets while we talked with each other. And, between moving around the room, I selected who I wanted to connect with and they got back pretty fast. I think everyone had the same experience. Made some good connections for my business. From reading about the Tinder-like matching apps, I think getLoopd is a totally different beast - it doesn't roam anonymously. It uses Bluetooth so best when you talking with someone who is a few feet away.
> require replacement of existing hardware

This is the most ridiculous excuse people use. The premise doesn't even apply except in extreme cases:

1) 10+-year-old gear. (And even then only some; I've got plenty of decade-old gear lying around that supports IPv6 just fine.)

2) Extremely demanding performance requirements (to be in this category you'd likely be spending millions every year on gear and the people to run it).

3) Shitty $50 consumer gear.

If you're #1 or #3, you're going to need to fix that before long anyway, and even if you're #2, that's not applicable to your office network!

Hardware just isn't a good excuse for not turning on IPv6.
Now major players start to adopt Docker, I wonder whether they should standardized manifest format?
