As you can see in the examples of China and Japan [0], a national apology can help ease tensions between peoples and countries and not apologizing can exacerbate already strained relations.

Admitting wrong doing and offering solutions to prevent this from ever happening again are the first steps towards rebuilding what is undoubtedly going to be a much damaged world wide reputation.

Even releasing this report was a step forward.

It's neat that I didn't have to create an account to use the gift card, but I fat-fingered my email address when using it. I don't think I'll get an email confirming my donation (typed ".co.m" instead of ".com") because of this. Not sure how I can self-service fix this since I never created an account.
If the blog is for your company, it's preferable to host it on your own subdomain, i.e., blog.example.com. However, a blogging platform is just fine for a personal blog.

It's trivial these days to set up and manage a static site, especially for a blog—check out Jekyll[1] or Harp[2] (or any other static site generator).

I'm not morally outraged at all, - I've told people to go and think twice what they would do if terrorists blew up their kids in a schoolbus. Same goes for outrage about "terrorists": What would I have done if my country was invaded? Hopefully hid in the mountains trying to snipe as many of the invaders as possible, just like my granddad did when the Germans came.

Why? Because people are so quick to judge without even trying once to see why the others are doing what they do.

I just think it is a bad idea to poke fun at it. There are times for funny remarks on serious stuff. I think you'll find that this is not it.
That doesn't remotely obviate the requirement to obtain permission from, and give attribution to, the rightsholders of material used in the film.

With Hollywood's insistence — being premised, even — on copyrights, there's something of a "live by the sword, die by the sword" standard to which they should be held.
Big thanks for the report, I'll look into it in a few days.
I like that idea, power to the people.

If there was a way to do so without complicating my tax filings, that would be even better.

"can never be linked enough times"

Off topic question here. Does an archive.org article get cached so that when it's linked to it comes up faster? Or does it display at the same speed of a random archive.org page?

That page came up pretty fast for me don't know if that is random or because other people are hitting the link from HN.
The White House is apparently not taking a side in the debate over whether it works or not.

Which frankly makes me think they believe it does. The easy political win is to say it doesn't, and they aren't taking it.

> When you say that the President and VP were in favor of publication, that is definitely not consistent with what we've seen from Obama.

We've seen Obama declassify this exact report, without which it could not be published. I'm not sure how much more consistency there can be on this point.

> Remember when Obama blocked the release of additional Gitmo evidence because he claimed it would result in Americans being hurt? I assume the exact same logic was used here to prevent this report from coming out.

I conclude (rather than assume) that it wasn't, because if it that logic was used by Obama, then this report wouldn't have been declassified.

> I assume Kerry's plea for a delay was a result of the CIA pressuring him to protect their assets which are embedded with embassies worldwide.

I don't see any reason to assume that. Its not entirely implausible, but the way that it paints US ambassadors as dupes of the CIA and undermines US diplomatic credibility is also a plausible reason for Kerry to seek to delay it, particularly if there are ongoing negotiations to which the particular issues on which it most damages that credibility may be relevant, and there are numerous other plausible reasons why Kerry might have sought the delay.
I'm not sure I follow. The author was citing the number of words different groups of people typically know, this is a good starting point as few people know (or use) every single word in the English dictionary.

I think it's you who are confusing the semantic relationship between the two (three?) concepts.

Plagiarism is not a legal term; it refers to using someone else's intellectual work (which may or may not be under copyright), without credit, in a way that violates the cultural standards of an academic (or other) community.

Plagiarism may or may not be copyright infringement -- even if the materials plagiarized are under copyright, it may be fair use. Or in some cases you can plagiarize by stealing someone's ideas but not their text or other fixed expression (ideas are, in general, not protected by copyright; but stealing someone's ideas without attribution is still plagiarism in an academic context).

But the defenses against an accusation of copyright infringement, like fair use , do not serve as defenses against an accusation of plagiarism in an academic community. Plagiarism in and of itself is not illegal, there is no law against plagiarism. (Unless maybe in extreme cases it could be fraud?). Still, plagiarism may get you kicked out of school or denied tenure, or generally cause you to lose respect and trust. But some instances of plagiarism may, of course, also be illegal copyright infringement.

Copyright infringement is, of course, a legal term.

"Piracy", to me, in this context, is simply another term for copyright infringement. Isn't that how the large content owners use it? If it's copyright infringement, it's piracy.

Of course, whether an individual instance is copyright infringement or not, is decided for certain only in court. But there are cases reasonably educated observers would predict with high confidence as being determined (or not) to be copyright infringement; and others that might be considered a strong-but-not-certain case, etc.

Something can be both plagiarism and copyright infringement, or only one (either one), or neither. They are entirely separate.

In this case, I think it's likely fair use, and also perhaps not likely to be considered plagiarism (rather, isn't it documentary realism?). But the reason people get so excited to call it copyright infringement -- is because the movie studios get so excited to call copyright infringement uses of _their_ IP that reasonable people think ought to be obviously fair use too. "And since the producers of the movie consider it fair use to copy 14 of my slides without giving me credit, it must also be fair use to quote the scene of the movie here" The irony is entirely intended by the author of the OP.
I'm pretty sure it works that way. Which part of what you quote conflicts with what I wrote?

If you're objecting to the claim that the ciphertext will be blown up, please note the word 'proportional' in there. Producing a word of output for every input byte of the largest input file is still proportional. All that's saying is that the bloat factor is the same whether you're encrypting 2 files or 10. (The claim they're making here seems pretty worthless anyway, since the required key size will grow absurdly quickly as the number if input files is increased).
No worries - I'll fix that for you right now! Look for an email in your inbox shortly.

When I was a fifteen year old "internet marketer" I was able to create 60,000 google accounts from residential IP's, despite google's CAPTCHA system. As a fifteen year old kid, that's when I knew google is not an invincible company.

The trick was that google's backend registration logic did not validate the referrer of the signup form, or that the submitting IP address matched the one that downloaded the CAPTCHA. So I cloned the form on my own server, loaded it in an invisible iFrame with all fields filled except the CAPTCHA. Then I served the CAPTCHA to the user, who solved it and clicked "submit". Then the entire hidden form in the iframe submitted and registered a google account with the visitor's IP.

I was surprised that worked, because it was a huge vulnerability. Nowadays I would go for the bug bounty, but back then I tried to sell it for $5k -- unfortunately nobody believed I could do it and I couldn't prove it without revealing the method, so I ended up unable to take advantage of the code.

I did have about 60k accounts from random page views on blogspot blogs, but I never did anything with them. Perhaps that was the only time my inability to finish projects ironically saved me from some trouble. :)
I don't think it's such a good idea to require computer programming of _all_ students.

What would it have been like for you, were you required to learn, say, ballet dancing or singing?

Some people don't have the aptitude, some people don't enjoy it.

The only things that should be required, should be knowledge and skills that _everyone_ should have.

Sure _offer_ coding as an elective, but don't require it.

I remember very well, my sister being in tears over the requirement that she learn trigonometry to get into college. She really had no need of it for her forestry degree. She is just as smart as I am, but in very different ways.
I see. And I admit writing the wrong thing.

My point is being locked up indefinitely and tortured again and again. Waiting for pain is also painful unless you are very mentally strong.
That's not how fair use works. The only way to determine whether something qualifies as "fair use" is to take the case to court and have a court rule on it.

> Real risk for real people has been created. It's not theoretical.

Risk of what?

> Actual innocent people have been placed in danger.

Who?

I'm not attempting to argue the point. I haven't read the report. It just seems a strong statement to make that innocent bystanders (with no connection to torture) have been put at risk (of what?).

I'm curious how legitimate this claim is since to be honest it reads a bit like FUD (that's just how it comes off; but I'm just looking for a rationale).
I'm pretty sure that the documentary aspect of the movie makes the thing fair use.
Southwest WiFi seems to do this, and unlike Delta it is available under 10k feet, gate to gate. Something about satellite based vs. ground station based.

Or, wow. Conspiracy theorize much?

Is your assumption that businesses are thriving while wasting 10-30% of their revenue on busywork? If so, it should be trivial to crush them with your 10-30% reduction in overhead. Do it?

Is your theory that regulations requiring hard-to-automate bureaocratic work is created with the sly intention of creating busywork for people? Ah, special interests. They can lead to some messed up stuff, but most regulations are put in by well-meaning people trying (often ineffectually) to do what they're actually stated to be for--enforcing safety, fairness, etc.

I've regularly stated that I want most of my job automated away by Google, and we do have start-ups chipping away at old business models, but if it were entirely a matter of simply deciding to stop wasting money, I'm going to go out on a limb and say someone would've done it already.

> It is quite cruel that the name of the employer is usually not provided: "We are a hot startup in the cloudspace" rather than "Example.com is a hot startup in the cloudspace". This has the result that I apply to a lot more companies than I otherwise would, because there is no way I can learn more about the company _before_ apply.

There's a workaround for this. Take a few sentences from the job description - some of the non-standard ones - and google for them. Frequently, you'll see the company's job page in the results as the first hit. From there, you can usually even contact them directly, and skip the recruiter middleman.

In my (a few years out of date) experience, it got me hits about 50% of the time.

That already has a name: mixed economy.

"Socialist" in the American vernacular is too coarse grained when talking about politics beyond its own borders, since the connotation seems to always just be "left of American politics"... :)

My biggest issue with most garbage collection implementations is the lack of RAII. While I love the ease of reading and writing Python or Lua, I'd love to be able to create a local object, like an open file or a database connection, and have it destructed immediately on return.
Certainly, I accept your objection on practical grounds, but cannot quite accept the objection on moral grounds.

If something doesn't work, then don't do it. Hiroshima was an extreme example of that. By August the political establishment in Japan was split, with consensus moving rapidly to peace out of the war because by mid 1945 the industrial centers of Osaka and Tokyo were ruined by fire bombings. It just so happens that at the same time the government is moving to surrender, we use two bombs to vaporize more people.

"We need to use these bombs to end the war sooner." A fine argument to the intentionalist, regardless of outcome, but the consequentialist will have a problem with it because the atomic bombings did not lead to an early conclusion of the war, the fire bombings did.

Two thoughts:

1. The CIA hacked the Senate's computers and performed other surveillance on them. Since they were caught, it is likely that this did not shall we say, endear the CIA to the Senate.

2. Unless and until the people in the CIA that did these things, and the bosses who approved these things, face jail time, loss of government pensions, etc. I predict that nothing will change.

it brings back memories indeed.. me watching in disbelief how long, ugly and weird Microsoft C/C++ Win32 or even MFC programming for Windows was, compared to Borland Delphi or C++ Builder. I tried, I really tried to like it but in the end I gave up and I became a windows programmer much later with the arrival of .net win forms and c# (created by Delphi architect wikipedia.org/wiki/Anders_Hejlsberg - it's scary how scarce were the sane language/framework/IDE architects back then)
I once spent a day or two looking at WCF in Reflector. Interestingly, while the API makes it look like a tiered, flexible architecture it is not. Instead, at the bottom (!) layer you basically have case distinctions, depending on the layers that were configured on top.
I like how Nix obsoletes a lot of what Puppet&co are all about, and does so in a very straight forward manner.

It's these simple solutions that make me tick :)
The concept of the fold is a valuable and flexible one, to be interpreted within the context of the page or platform on which it is supposed to exist. Organizing and prioritizing presentation of data relies on recognizing certain patterns of display and activity, and the fold is wrapped up in that. Why try to deny the existence of a well-known and useful term and construct rather than help redefine it, the way we've done with other terms dating from the relatively distant past? (edit:sp)
The Pirate Bay Is Offline After Swedish Police Raid
> Open source has seen a rapid expansion in the past decade

My primary experience of open source software in France is of a French software product manager who worked with a German tech lead. The product manager got the German programmer to open up the API of that product to allow plugins, which a Russian innovator promptly made use of to build some useful addon software. The French manager put the German into unrelated consulting work, then hired a mate, also from France, as a second programmer to duplicate the functionality of the addon and bundle it as part of the product, killing the market for the addon. Having diluted the importance of the German to the product, he stopped using his "tech lead" title and started promoting his own name on the product instead of the two technical workers.

Perhaps the rapid expansion is based on an patriotist old boys network helping each other out rather than innovation and marketing.
Not so much "the old guard he had to deal with hated the idea" and "bought into the idea that the way Linux managed software was awesome and superior", but...
