I think you got tricked into believing that you are getting a deal. You are not. The "dirt cheap" fare is what the regular/full fare should be, it's not a promotion or a good deal.

The problem with Shinkansen pricing is that its always expensive. There is no surge pricing,but the baseline price is still too expensive. That is an entirely different problem altogether.

Silicon Valley and the tech sector is full of adult babies. Watching the twitter reaction to this news (and others) is pretty fascinating. You're all so doom-and-gloom the first second the government tries to regulate something. Let's not discuss the histrionics that come out on other topics. Further, you act like there could be no possible logical reason why these things should be regulated. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of onerous regulation or regulatory capture, but you guys are just a bunch of babies.

I think there should be rules about drones, because I can easily think of several really fucking bad things that could happen if everyone who wants to tinker can just fly their drones around because they've got the money and know how. What happens if Amazon tries to deliver a package, but the software fucks up and the drone flies over the airport (assuming the engineers even thought of that problem in advance)? What happens when multiple business start flying drones around and they start crashing into one another, falling on people, highways, or whatever? I've seen a video where a guy decapitated himself with his gas powered toy helicopter. Are these drones going to be safe if they crash into me, or should I walk around with a shotgun?

We need rules. We don't need onerous rules, but we need rules.
BTW, it was liberal except for some things like gun control Democratic Michigan Congressman John Dingell who first referred to the BATF as "jack-booted" "fascists" (he routinely used that word), as early as 1981. Although at the time he probably was a member of the NRA's 76 member Board of Directors.

SWAT excesses in the "War on Drugs" started in the '70s, there was some back and forth, first encouragement of that, then a reaction to the excesses.

It was Waco, started by the BATF as a "rice bowl raid", that is, a big publicity event prior to asking for more money in the next Federal fiscal year, that really brought this to a head with Dingell, the NRA, gun owners, and other concerned citizens.
That is not really the case for supercomputers though. Here Linux drivers obviously have first priority.

If you are thinking of video driver it is a totally different story.
also, gnip doesn't seem to have actual real-time access to follow/unfollow events and only access to 1/10th of the public tweet stream, offering a 'sample' of all tweets (which is what the non-whitelisted accounts also have).

> It's not like fan art and fan fiction ever produced anything that worthwhile though. Has there ever been any major fan fiction work hailed as literary worthy? Maybe you'll find one or two examples. I doubt you'll find ten.

Is this sarcasm? An enormous amount of what we consider great literature consists of "fanfiction"; it would not be permitted under copyright law as a derivative work were it written today and based on modern stories instead. For example, most of Shakespeare's plays are based on older stories, or even the plays of other contemporaries.

To be sure garbage dominates the world of fanfiction, but that's merely a consequence of the low bar to entry. But there are a very few diamonds out there in the deep brown, to paraphrase an article I read many years ago on fanfiction quality.

Not the OP, but I, too, love cold rainy weather. I love to snuggle up in my home with a wool blanket, a roaring fire, a mug of hot cocoa, and my lover. I love to listen to the rain-drops go pitter-patter and plunk all over the roof of my house. I love to roll down my windows and feel the cool mist rush past my car. I love to have a rich, variated flotilla of sweaters to swaddle myself in every day of the week. I love to walk amongst the evergreen trees in a drizzle, finding shelter beneath their boughs, breathing in the wholesome smell of newly-washed forest. I love to wade waist-deep in the pounding surf, scream at the storm, and chase after frightened tourists in sea-kayaks. I love to befriend the killer whales by cackling convincingly at them, and, convinced, they carry me on their backs to tour their icy sea-realms.
Frankly, at this point I'd be happy to hear new opinions on it. What comes from us within the Erlang community seems to often be a repeat of itself.

- Killer apps? done (Riak, CouchDB, RabbitMQ, Whatsapp, etc.)
- Commercial use? done (Telcos, game companies, and so on)
- Books? Done, 4-5 of them, getting more and more specialized even.
- Static Type system? Well you can use Dialyzer and get some of it.

The last things that seem to come up all the time are about documentation, the syntax, possibly renaming OTP (do people really get bogged down so much on an acronym?), and package management.

There's no doubt to me a lot of work needs to be done regarding package management, but all previous attempts within the community more or less failed to bring something consistent, and we have rebar instead, with people fetching sources from git repositories and building them locally without always having proper versionning (and conflict resolution).

Outside of this, there's little doubt in my mind that the unfamiliarity is the big issue, along with how hard it is to think in Erlang: nothing shared, immutable, with a Prolog look. Outside of all the rest, this is what I feel is the hardest, and fixing it means "don't be Erlang" (because books and whatnot seem to have a limited effect), which well, won't work as a solution for Erlang.

>7. Fine, but I still get to send users their passwords once they created them so they don’t forget them, right? Email is not a secure medium. It was never designed to be one. It’s susceptible to Man In The Middle (MITM) attacks and a slew of other issues. Also, users might have their email accounts abused or hacked into (how many people do you know who have left their GMail logged in on a public computer?). Would you really like someone to gain credentials to your product when this happens?

This is one I always struggled to understand. If email is compromised, the attacker can request and immediately intercept a password reset anyway.

Using an extension similar to this (readline) has let me read things much more rapidly than my normal reading speed. Even faster considering it prevents my mind from wandering or eyes from getting distracted. It's not a gimmick at all.
"Man In The Middle (MITM)" is the important bit. For example by sniffing the wireless traffic on an unencrypted wlan you can capture entire emails being sent or received, without ever compromising the account.
"stand your ground" laws, are, I suppose, "more lethal" in the sense they don't require you to retreat if theoretically possible as viewed in the calm of a criminal trial, but I think you're otherwise vastly overstating what the "indicate". Using the loaded term "reactionary" strikes me as entirely out of place.

WRT to Jose Guerena, with the exception of Massachusetts at certain points in the '70s-80s, I don't know of any state that requires or required you to retreat from your own residence. It's unthinkable Arizona would have ever required that.

Finally, I don't see how it helps anything to paint people like us as racists, especially, as LyndsySimon points out, we've been the biggest group fighting for the longest time the tactics that are being discussed here.

It should be noted that memory is still in your swap even if it's read back to memory, it only gets deleted upon the memory being rewritten. So that figure isn't telling you how much data is exclusively in swap.

MRI picked its version scheme in the 90s, long before "semver" was a thing. That kind of version scheme wasn't unusual in that time. Problems due to legacy don't make a good argument.

The Ruby system cares for semver in general and it is propagated there a lot, but I agree: it certainly isn't uniform.
Unfortunately, "the possibility that they might have been commissioned to produce an original" has nothing to do with it.

Take the case of Shepard Fairey's use of the AP's photograph of Obama. The iconic "Hope" poster: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama_%22Hope%22_poster

Now that photographer certainly never would have been paid or even heard of had the photo been used as inspiration. Yet, Fairey lost that case in Federal Court.

People are prevented from using a photograph of someones face to remix into a vectorized, colorized, cartoonized version of this face. A photo that would have died a quiet death as a newsroom archive. It is my opinion that Fairey's usage did nothing but add to our collective culture and that preventing use like this in the future is quite chilling for creatives of many fields. (For more on this topic, written much more eloquently see: http://waxy.org/2011/06/kind_of_screwed/)

What happens when a company does a 3D scan of Briteny Spears and produces a model of every muscle movement possible, and then claims copyright over every single photograph and drawing of Ms. Spears that every gets produces hereafter? We already see a similar tactic being used with patent trolls, "patent everything, sue everyone."

I'm pretty sure these ads are exactly what they are to maximize click-rate, and therefore to give Paint.NET's author the most money. Very exploitative (with emphasis on exploit).
I think that was a necessity. The machines were built to do math, and at the time they didn't have fancy modern compilers that could do pure magic transforming human-convenient expressions into amazingly efficient machine code. So they had to either design the machine to do the required operations in hardware or make programmers do similar magic in their heads.

That will work, however it will also leave the user with a clue that their account may have been compromised. It is also a noticable degree harder to pull off than simply sniffing a password being sent, due to needing to know the target's data necessary to request a reset.
Another thing to consider is if your email provider's offline backups get jacked in transit would you rather your emails contain your plain text passwords or links to a password reset with expired tokens?
I appreciate your opinion and recognize that there are many people who share your opinion but I can't agree. Compared to road and air traffic, it would take a serious amount of drones to match the noise and visual pollution.

The pizza delivery man with his car or scooter makes more noise and takes more space than a drone would.

And you have to remember that the early jet aircraft were very noisy and inefficient compared to modern jets. NACA, NASA and the FAA did some serious research and development programs in the fifties and sixties to reduce the amount of noise.

Compared to "big" aviation, I think that the current drones are somewhere in between the Wright brothers and the Spirit of St. Louis - I guess there will be significant development in the near future.
It's pretty hard not to though. You rely on your hosting provider for service and probably on a multitude of software services too. Of course you have to weigh the value of each further point of failure in your setup, but it's a tradeoff and may well be worth it.

You're right, I wouldn't want to write my own PCI slave and have it crash my PC. Unless the board developer already took care of that, it's probably better to go with standalone board for now. I hope we'll see more convenient FPGA development boards that will be no more hassle to use than an extra videocard in your PC now, as Moore's law hits the wall and FPGA's become more ubiquitous.
Interesting idea but I just blinked and missed a word, too bad.
Entire clear text emails. Everyone SHOULD be using TLS wrapped email protocols. That doesn't mean they are, but gmail is https all the way and many providers now require TLS connections to the mail servers.

Still, one time use password reset links with explicit instructions and set expectations to reset the password immediately is the way to go if you're emailing anything IMO.
Depends on what you need on the Mac. For many common image editing tasks like rotating, cropping, resizing, saving in a different image format, some simple levels, exposure, saturation, sharpening and white balance adjustments as well as a few mark up tools (adding text, arrows, various shapes) Preview is perfectly adequate.

That’s probably more than enough for people who don’t actually create any images. Maybe the photo editing is a bit anaemic, but Photoshop’s photo editing tools are cryptic and hard to use for occasional users and those probably benefit a lot more from a simple editing panel with a few relevant sliders than from all the hard to unlock power of Photoshop.

The only notable absent thing is some sort of image straightening tool (only 90° rotations are possible).

If you want to do actual image editing there are a couple of excellent apps, namely Acorn and Pixelmator, both modern and frequently updated. You have to pay for them but that’s Mac software. You should have to pay for them. That’s only proper.
If you plan to hibernate, I believe you need at least 16GB of swap (i.e. the amount of memory you have).

And not to resume those arguments, but it's a red herring. Erlang benefits from having unfamiliar syntax. You end up learning the new paradigm as you learn the new syntax; it's too easy to shoehorn the old paradigm in if it's the old syntax ("I can write FORTRAN in any language").
The FAQ isn't saying that the only bad thing is that email accounts might be compromised, simply that that's one reason to not email passwords. While you're right about email comprises allowing an attacker to simply reset a password, the first few sentences are still very important.

> Email is not a secure medium. It was never designed to be one. It’s susceptible to Man In The Middle (MITM) attacks and a slew of other issues.

Email by default right not isn't encrypted. Anyone (eg, a 3-letter government agency or a malicous actor on an unencrypted wifi network) who can intercept your traffic can read that password - and you can't even tell. At least with a password reset there's the "notification" of "my password doesn't work anymore". That's mitigated by SSL/TLS, but it's still an important point to consider.
If someone hacks into your email account, they can just trawl through the email archive and harvest passwords from past password reminder emails. With a temporary reset token, they have to initiate a password reset request, which you should notice: (a) you might notice the email if you have e.g. push notifications enabled, or if the attacker doesn't delete it quickly enough, and (b) your real password will suddenly stop working.

Additionally, even if your reset request is harvested via MITM, if you use a single-use reset token, and an attacker uses it before you can, you know something is up. Even if it's not single-use, your password suddenly no longer working should ring alarm bells.
I'm pretty sure the Dwarf Fortress guys also survive purely on donations.
I was a bit surprised by #9.2 - "Don’t put any limitations on the passwords people can use (maximum lengths, disallowing certain characters, etc.)". What's the thinking here?
I agree; this point shouldn't be about password reset emails being more secure, it should be about the fact you don't need to be able to email them their password to have a successful account recovery process.

That said, it can be more secure. Firstly, people reuse passwords, so intercepting a plaintext password gives you access not only to the account on that site, but also several others.

Secondly, if the link expires you can't use old account recovery emails to find out passwords. If you manage to compromise an account (rather than mitm), you can search through for old "here is your password" emails and use those without even having to initiate a new password recovery process, which in this age of mobile devices and push notifications risks the victim seeing the email and getting suspicious.
That's exactly his point. Those speed limiters aren't there to arbitrarily limit your fun, they're there because the stock wheels and tires can't handle greater speeds. If you don't understand why the limit is there in the first place, you're going to have a nasty surprise when you exceed the tires' limits while going well north of 150 MPH.
