I think you are assuming a much higher BI than many of us would propose.
On the other hand, there's been a fair bit of work (esp. for ES6, and to a lesser extent ES5) to minimize the number of things the specification states contrary to implementations.
> Our "sabre-rattling" over the Malvinas Islands was done during our vicious, murderous military dictatorship in the 70s/early 80s.

No, it has continued as recently as this year (actually, its been on a notable upswing in the last couple of years, and a similar upswing happened, IIRC, in the early-to-mid-1990s.) Its true that it reached a fever pitch and an actual brief war with the UK in the time you describe, but the sabre rattling didn't end there.
The "night owl thing" isn't misinterpretation. It is true that there are less total transactions at night, but the point and observation is that the fraud "rate" is higher at night.

Another way to put it: fraudsters are more likely to be night-owls than the rest of us.

This is a mission critical bug for any other startups that depend upon the Adaptive Payment API. That may only be a subset of Paypal merchants, but for those that do - you need to know this ASAP.
If they were unscrupulous, they could just claim none of your stuff sold, sell it, and keep 100%. Returning the unsold items keeps them honest.

Not in any way claiming they are, this just makes sense as a policy to build trust with sellers.
Right. I interpreted your previous comment as meaning that you don't need pattern matching because you can just used the (reified) destructor. Conversely, you can avoid the higher-order destructor using pattern matching.

Accountability in society has been lost. What I don't understand is why we tolerate this. Are we all really too busy with status updates and mindless entertainment not to give a damn and demand it again? It's an interesting sign of our society that we allow events like this.

For the CIA to be accountable someone needs to spend time in prison, senior directors need to be fired. Anything less sends a message that this is ok.

Nor was this a one off. Look at James Clapper (NSA Director), he perjures himself to Congress with no consequence.

Oh yes they will - not least because digital archival is quite a bit more expensive than print archival, but doesn't generate much revenue, so guess who gets the shitty end of the stick in times of squeezed budgets? Also, while big studios can afford to invest in that sort of thing, lots of high-quality films originate outside big studios, where there's even less awareness of or capital for proper digital archival. In quite a few smaller studios the archive consists of disconnected disk arrays sitting in a box, a collection of LTO tapes, and a print master.
One can easily believe the proposition "we should be hiring more people to address public needs that are currently not well attended" and not believe "we should be promising to find some such thing for anyone who applies."
There's a difference between lifting content and journalism. :)

Ars practices journalism, which means they take a primary source and then enrich it with useful information while also making it easier to understand.

You're absolutely right in that many blogs simply regurgitate someone else's content, but Ars is not one of those sites.

If you want to be heavy handed in your moderation and become a content curator, you'll need to get better at distinguishing the two.

this is one of the reasons we shied away from heavy handed moderation at reddit -- it's just too difficult to do it well.

Also, primacy doesn't always mean it is better.

Pretty interesting insights. Though in Habit #6: "Fraudsters Are Really Boring" : the digits in email addresses appear pretty obvious (non-fraudster) to me. We need to remember that there are 600 million + email accounts registered with Gmail for example and it is really difficult to increase your chance of creating new email ID without using any digit(s) while registering your email address.

I myself use email address with 2 digits and I have so many of my friends using 4 digits or so. I personally don't think having more digits in your email ID is directly proportional to being more fraudulent.
It's important to take stock of the over all message that we (the west) are sending the middle east.

While we talk democracy, our actions betray us. Hamas was democratically elected yet our response was to isolate them. The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt was democratically elected but the west didn't say a word when he was over thrown in a coup de'tat.

So It's no surprise that Arab Leaders who are all holding on to their dwindling dictatorships with an iron grip would side with the Israel (the West) than risk suicide by siding with Hamas.

The one exception to the rule is Qatar though who seems to have outclassed and outstrategised every single Gulf State to date.

Right, and that's assuming the hypothetical host country has the formality of subpoenas. Some countries would just send armed forces and demand access. I've heard firsthand stories of how Russia's tax collectors essentially hold businesses at gunpoint, by surprise.
To put this in some perspective, 9 billion XRP is from what I can tell slightly more than the total amount in circulation prior to him dumping all his. It was fairly damaging to Ripple overall and anyone holding XRP lost quite a bit from it.

This is a great idea. If you want to demonstrate just how much software patents suck, you need to be able to point out examples. Yet I've seen many people who try to do so get shutdown with remarks like "you're not a lawyer", "you don't understand patent claims", "if you read this in a Lawyer-Approved Fashion (tm) it turns out this IS a good patent claim", etc. It'll be a lot harder to dismiss examples of shitty patents if their shittiness is endorsed by the legal expertise of the EFF.
> Think more along the lines of fresh ramen noodles or pre-marinated meats.

Ramen noodles may be time consuming (never made them, but most noodles are), but marinated meats tend to be pretty low prep time (not much different than your example of pre-chopped onions; they may have a long passive time, but other than for impulse cooking that's not really a barrier.)

> Disbursements through US Bank Accounts or Debit Cards

Is it only related to US bank accounts and debit cards? Or is it an IPN issue affecting all card?
Not sure if this is related to this particular case. From previous experience, PayPal will silently stop delivering IPNs if your webhook URL ever returns a non-200 status code for an extended period of time.

It took us a fair amount of time to figure out that this was the cause of our issue -- the PayPal UI didn't indicate any problems and PayPal business customer support was unable to see the source of the problem either.
Is that not the curse of capitalism? Its the double edged sword of encouraging people to be innovative but for that same reason you can't stop them from amassing wealth/power.
I've had both experiences. If you are looking to get full possible value on something, expect to ride it out. If you just want to get rid of something and don't mind taking a little less than full value, I've had things get snapped up.
In my startup we are knowingly violating two other companies patents and it scares me. The patents are stupid (tagging a photo--ie. circle part of a photo to highlight where something is, and the second is adding GPS data to a record, so that you can find it later).

One of the companies is even litigious having field two patent suits this year. The only thing saving us at this point is we are a Canadian company and haven't entered the US market yet.

So, here is a concrete case of patents discouraging innovation and competition. We want to enter the US market because the competitors are selling backward solutions. We have an alternative that is 10x better, yet our company could be killed in an instant through one of these patents.

Which isn't all that decentralized. The only nodes that participate in the consensus are a handful of "trusted" nodes run by - well, in this case I don't think we know yet, but the Stellar foundation gets to pick who can run them. Those nodes get to decide which transactions are accepted, what fees are charged, the money creation policies, etc.
Democracy is not the be-all, end-all. A consensus to do evil should be rejected. Our repudiation of Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood was more a rejection of their stated aims rather than the means of influence.

I'd just google for ps3 usb exploit, that should give you the iformation.

The DMA stuff was basically just imagination. With Firewire, it has been proven to work as the port itself gives DMA access. USB has something like this not built-in, but most people use the same or similar controller chipsets, so that, like in GSM baseband processors, a single exploit could target loads of devices.

The main problem is that hardware was usually built with full trust in mind... I wonder what Lightning does, given it is essentially a PCI lane in optic wire. Lightning stuff is hellish expensive at the moment, but I'm just waiting...

Hamas is a resistance movement born out of occupation so It's no surprise that the west balked at their success (considering the implications it has for Israel).

The response to the Muslim Brotherhood however is harder to understand beyond basic hypocrisy.
Here's something that's been bothering me since Chrome dropped the experimental support for `position: sticky` (and CSS Regions before) and I didn't find the right place to ask (nor is a submission about the JS engine an appropriate venue for this question, I know), so I'm going to hijack this thread:

We know some properties are expensive and when you use them a few times (or with certain values) you get sub-60fps scrolling — but why are they expensive? Are they inherently hard to optimize (e.g. different GPUs across mobile devices), or is it that nobody got to optimize them yet?
This is what the US always did. If a government doesn't play ball with them they try everything to get rid of it. Look at what happened just a couple of months ago in Ukraine: democratically elected president was ousted just because he was becoming too friendly with Putin.
Followup: With the leaked court order, the Australian government has been forced to make a media release to the effect that people (such as the President of Indonesia) mentioned in the order are not accused of any crime [1]. We have the amazing situation where Australian's are expected to swallow a media release, without being allowed to know what it is about. The mind boggles.

Mind you, this is the same system that is directing doctors not to report hundreds of cases of self harm among child refugees [2], so the culture of censorship is endemic.

Saying speed is found as a factor in around 30% of fatal crashes doesn't really say much as to the effectiveness of these sorts of measures. I mean, right off the bat I have to ask - what is the overlap between "people in fatal crashes with speed as a factor" and "people who receive automated speeding tickets".

I think as a percentage it would be unimaginably tiny which supports the assertion that it is misplaced enforcement if safety is actually the goal.
EU laws apply to data on EU residents. You can't dump your US-originated data into an EU jurisdiction and use EU law as a legal shield. Most developed countries have reciprocity arrangements with each other about access to data for legal proceedings in cross-border litigation, eg courts in one country will recognize properly-issued warrants/subpoenas from another.

It's not a breakthrough in science at all, honestly. It is already well known that you can propel something just by generating photons (generally using nuclear power to heat an element, just like a light bulb). Microwaves are just a different wavelength. It is just too inefficient to matter at the moment. The only breakthroughs to be made are in efficiency. Photons still have energy and momentum, just no rest mass, and there is even such a thing as electromagnetic pressure created from photons transferring momentum.

Lets be fair. Morsi won 51% of the vote and thereafter granted himself unlimited power (quite literally). He essentially declared himself god-emperor. What would you have NATO do, restore the dictator to power?

Hamas is in much the same boat- democratically elected yes, but a state sponsor of terrorism that believes the state of Israel has no right to exist. They actively house rockets/terrorists in schools, mosques, and hospitals. No one in the West can support such an organization even if Israel is nearly as bad.

The only other 'white-glove' provider I've used was Voxrox (Which became Voxel, and then got bought out by Internap iirc) - They had amazing support up until they got bought out by Internap. It really boils down to getting extremely competent support on the first try every time and having 911's answered within seconds. It's a pretty amazing thing to be woken up at 2AM by your own monitoring, put in a 911 ticket, and literally get a actionable response in seconds.

The place I am at now has servers at Rackspace and we can't even get ticketing and other alerts to go through systems like PagerDuty from your own internal systems.

False dichotomy. It's not a case of some minority who can't learn without teachers, but that pretty much all human beings benefit strongly from human interaction while learning (and, in particular, from an asymmetrical pair of roles, with an experienced/knowledgeable member and a novice). Admittedly, some more than others, and there are a rare few who can do nearly as well without it. You could as easily rephrase the argument as "why have MOOCs, when only a small fraction of people wouldn't do much better in traditional education"? My point is that pretending that MOOCs are just as good, or even nearly as good, as more traditional forms prevent us from real effort to actually improve upon those traditional forms, and from applying these very valuable communication tools in ways that are actually effective.
This matches the numbers i came up with from an argument on reddit[1].

I subtracted out the electricity spent producing gas in the US, which isn't as much as one would think.

Agreed. The v4 Windows client is much, much better than the old v3 - and finally allows you to use the same Chrome extension. I previously had to run two versions of the extension (and all the frustration that brings) if I wanted to use 1Password on my Windows installs.
you are going to have to get people to agree on a bytecode which will never happen for multiple reasons. Most notably b\c of how mature all the JavaScript engines are at this point, but also because the ECMAscript committee can't even agree on a new spec, ES6 being a good example. A more likely outcome would be an OS provider like Apple to let you write web apps for the desktop that can be compiled to native or bytecode.

"Further (as others have mentioned) it takes a huge amount of electricity to refine oil into gasoline. The electricity savings from not refining a gallon of gas are enough to drive an electric vehicle pretty far on its own."

If you printed out your emails and left them at a Microsoft data center in a box, the government would be able to use a subpoena duces tecum to get the emails, and you wouldn't be able to assert a 4th amendment claim over them.

We are using the laws applicable to physical items. The problem is that in general, those laws say that unless there is a special situation (landlord-tenant, etc), you can't invoke an expectation of privacy over property that you leave in the hands of a third party.
