I think you may have a little too much faith in the gnupg binaries and ca list and whatnot you have now. Remember, at some point you got them over the same untrusted channels.
A truly democratic government also represents the collective will of the people. In America, we don't have a truly democratic government, but I think it's close enough to hold, to the extent that the justice system serves the desire of the people for the appearance of justice. The people can't know whether justice is happening, so its appearance has to substitute for this knowledge. This feedback optimizes the system to provide this appearance. I think we see major shocks when independent research and especially new methodologies for examining evidence (like DNA) disrupt the appearance that the justice is what's actually happening to the expected degree.
But those buffers are also often huge and your packet could still come out the other end of one of them 20ms (or 2s, if it's a cable or DSL modem) later. You still want to treat it as evidence of congestion, though.

They'll be somewhere in that Bob folder ^^ If there are a lot, and the distinction seems important, they get their own folder, and when the permutations get too much, I would go for tags, but that didn't come up for me yet. And really I meant it when I said my main tool is the delete key: I don't need 50 photos of a person laughing a certain way at a party, I just need one, if even that, and I don't need one for every party either, I keep the good ones. Generally speaking, the more photos of a particular subject I have, the higher the selection pressure; the absolute number still grows, but not in linear relation to the number of photos I take.

I understand that my answer to the problem is a crappy one, namely "enjoy curating your photos and occasionally culling those who have become redundant or obsolete". But for what it's worth, it's how I do it :)
What you are describing exists: XMPP [0].

Good luck getting it to integrate with video calling for, say, Skype or Google Hangout. They don't want that, they want users to be in their domain. All that said, XMPP is not perfect.

I agree with you, context is important here. I think you can "borrow" some of the metaphor with different but suggestive names or patterns. But you shouldn't reuse a well-known name if your implementation is not faithful to the original associations. I really think specific language/word choice is under-appreciated in programming.

I don't know if this happens often but I would like to take a moment and point out that after hearing a strong negative reaponse, It's nice to see that the developer is willing to work through the problems with the community to change his/her project to a better state.

As I told you on reddit, I'm going through hell trying to opt-out as an individual. I know for a fact that they harvested and have been using information about me from GitHub without my permission and in violation of GitHub's terms of service. Since your comments consistently resort to legalism, how do you resolve that conundrum? I'm honestly trying very hard to not just go with the nuclear option of starting to seek enforcement of service-provider terms to shut down tip4commit, but they aren't exactly leaving tons of other options.
I'm sure other applications can do that too, but Bibble (since bought by Corel and named Aftershot or something) allows for several sets of settings to exist as "versions" of a RAW file, so it doesn't actually create "physical files" (the cropped/edited etc. JPEG/PNG version, that is) until it's time for the batch to output them how and where you want them, which means you can always delete and recreate the output files at will.

StartUp Podcast
I guess they still have a moral right to ask their contributors to be up front about the incentives involved in their contributions (they can't demand disclosure, but they could still refuse contributions where they don't feel they have enough understanding of the incentives involved).

The point being, setting the thing up behind their back brings a lot of risk of poisoning the relationship between the contributor and the project.

Maybe it's stupid for a project to act like that, but once it turns into a hair splitting exercise, you might as well split all of them.
A Natural Fix for A.D.H.D.?
If they're violating Github's T&C, that seems like a good place to start. You've obviously given them plenty of notice of your discontent - they've had ample opportunity to work with you to resolve it.
The real problem is that we allow the prosecuting attorney to "strike" possible jurors from the juror pool.

The defense should get this advantage, but the prosecution should not. If the prosecution has to stack the jury to get a conviction, it doesn't have a proper case.

Another problem is that the prosecution is looking for easily influenced jurors rather than diligent ones.

Once had a hung jury on this where one juror was voting guilty and wouldn't budge. Our take: "Look, yes, he is guilty of possession. He had the drugs. BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT HE'S CHARGED WITH. He's charged with conspiracy and he wasn't even in the country at the time the conspiracy was supposedly discussed. The government HASN'T PROVED ITS CASE."

Nope. Guilty. Won't budge. And she was a grand juror. So much for the safety check of a grand jury. Sigh.
>Your question presumes that prosecutors are looking for the truth, right and wrong, innocence and guilt.

>They are not.

>Their job is to prosecute

That's not entirely true. Their job (or at least their office's job) is also to decide when and where to seek prosecution. In theory, determining truth and innocence is a significant part of their job.

The trouble is when that runs up against a politicized, failure intolerant culture that would much rather reward a prosecutor with a strong string of wins (however questionable their methods) over one with the courage to simply present the best case they have and let the jury decide on the facts like they are supposed to.

Of course I understand the principles of an adversarial system of trials. My question was how did this lead to prosecutors believing their job is to seek convictions rather than justice.
Same here. It should work theoretically though. Chromium on linux is supposed to have speech synthesis support via festival. I have festival installed, and speech-dispatcher, and just checked chrome://flags but no luck. :-/
I just got an iPhone and the built in Podcast app is pretty good. I have subscribed to a couple of the most popular podcasts and have been quite impressed by the quality these days. Last time I listened to podcasts was probably around 2007 or 2008 and the quality was poor and that put me off. Only a few people such as Adam Curry had decent equipment. Now it seems most people can afford decent kit and do a reasonable job at editing.

>Hawkins has no credibility in machine learning so I don't think people should really care about what he says.

Says the most respected name in the field of machine learning, Teodolfo.

Srsly. Why the hate Teo? He merely said exactly what everyone from Michael Jordan to Andrew Ng has said; There's nothing very 'neural' about ANNs.

ANNs work. No doubt. But they are limited in what they can do. Jeff is merely pitching a new approach that is intended to solve some of those limitations.

But since you don't care what he has to say, I doubt you have a very firm understanding of what he has said.
This is great. I would love to see both Hypercard and Hypercard-ish stuff become more common and supported.

But statements like the following suggest to me that there are some misunderstandings here.

> With the developer restrictions and extreme proprietism of the iPhone App Store, it’s hard to remember the Apple of the 80s. Steve Jobs, Bill Atkinson and their team had a vision to not only bring computers to the people, but also to bring computer programming to the public – to make makers out of the masses. At Apple, this philosophy, along with HyperCard seems to have mostly been lost.

Making makers out of the masses is an idea that is still there. Think about software like GarageBand and iMovie. These have the added advantage that you can make things without doing programming.

Also, I was very much involved with the Apple of the 80s. And I can assure you all that the "proprietism" was just as strong as it is today.

While it's exciting to see Hypercard and similar ideas coming alive again, I'm certainly glad that Hypercard died when it did. A Hypercard-based web would have been Apple formats distributed from Apple servers via Apple protocols to Apple clients. And lawsuits for everyone! We're fortunate to have dodged that particular scenario.

Persona is not necessarily tied to gmail. Persona offers a gmail gateway. As long as a user has a way of authenticating against the persona server using the provided email, they are fine. This could be their facebook account just as well.

Maybe you should talk to Dan Callahan, he'll be happy to answer your questions in more details I'm sure. I'm saying that because you sound like Persona could benefit you and Persona certainly could use more people like you criticizing it :)

So this comes back to tying accounts to emails: Well, this is the user's choice. They put their internet life into the hands of Google or Yahoo or whatever by choosing such an email provider that may go down at any time. It's completely reasonable and does not actually put YOU in a position where your sites locks users into a third party, you are just giving more choice.

As for activity: although it's not on git, there has been renewed interest in Persona lately. And until a better alternative comes by (which won't be for a long, long time) I'll defend persona tooth and nail because, it may not be perfect, but it is far better than what is currently taking over the entire web.
on a related note, anyone use RedPhone?

Lightroom + Picturelife works pretty good for me. Lightroom plays with the EXIF and XMP sidecars and Picturelife picks them up and allows me to search them online.
I'm not sure I really agree that a bus is more efficient than a carpool ride with Uber, Lyft, or Sidecar would be. Often I've noticed a bus full of people are going a few miles (Sunset neighborhood to Downtown SF), but the bus makes a stop at every small intersection for 1-2 people - inconvenient for the masses.

I live in Nob Hill, SF. If I wanted to go to the Mission, it's quite a wait for the Van Ness bus that goes to the Mission, and it takes a long time to go 2 miles because of the numerous stops the bus makes.

If instead, I were to take a UberPool/Sidecar Shared Ride, it might be $1 or so more, but I'd get there in a fraction of the time (no walking to the bus stop, no waiting for the bus, no numerous stops).

Also, I'm wondering if the the capital expenditure of the car vs the bus makes the car the preferred choice. Eg a Muni bus costs $700,000, but a car for UberPool or others is $10,000-$10,000.

I'm certainly not against buses, but for many cases, the technology here can provide smarter, faster transportation. Imagine this: an UberBus/Sidecar Shared Bus or so, that takes just as many people as a full bus would, but without the in-between stops.
Hope they can come up with something really cool! I've signed up, looks like it's gonna be some monitoring camera with built-in storage, that's the best part, I will never ever pay a penny to get clips go to cloud....
I think this is mitigatable by allowing your users to merge their account into a new one. So this is functionality you can implement serverside, persona does not by itself prevent your users from changing their email - it just doesn't provide the possibility (right now?)

A Liberal Decalogue: Bertrand Russell’s 10 Commandments of Teaching
You are correct - but the US system is different. The main goal of Denmark's prison system is likely centered around making sure people are reformed when they get out. The loss of freedom itself is the main punishment. The US system focuses much less on reforming people, but instead focuses on punishment. Loss of freedom isn't enough.

Mandatory minimums do have cruel outcomes: Usually the minimums were put in place as a political ploy (we'll make sure those bad people get put away for a long time - to keep your kids safe at night). I'm pretty sure that evidence doesnt' exist - any that does is likely against mandatory minimums.
Great feature.

Immutable.js supports something similar but at the access site:

var m: Im.Map<string, Im.Set<string>> = Im.Map();
console.log(m.get('foo')); // maybe undefined
console.log(m.get('foo', Im.Set())); // never undefined

typescript (and soon, flow) checks that the second arg to .get() is a Value type. Flow has the concept of non-nullable types, which will eventually let us type the return value of `get(key: K): V?` differently from `get(key: K, otherwise: V): V`
Not routinely but I sometimes took taxis to get home from school when I was probably 12 or younger. And that was long before cell phones or anything of that variety. And I imagine somewhere like New York City many kids routinely walk to school.
You can cut a lot of the boilerplate in your code by using existing functions (apologies if I get the argument orders wrong):

def best_digit_choice_to_maximize_product(n, digits):
numer = lambda d: reduce(
sorted(d, reverse=True),
0,
lambda a, e: a*10 + e)
return max(
itertools.combinations(digits, n),
key = lambda e: numer(e) * numer(set(digits) - set(e)))
TextSecure is installed by default on CyanogenMod.
Yup, points and kudos to them for engaging with users/critics.

OTOH, still negative infinite points for even arguing when a maintainer comes in and asks to opt out.
