The problem is not the license of the software. I think Wikia also uses MediaWiki which is free software.

For the other points that I mentioned, I'm not sure I know many wiki hosts which are free as in free beer, run by a nonprofit, sustainable through donations, show no ads, have their content under a free license and dump it in a way comparable to http://dumps.wikimedia.org/.
In my humble opinion, before "leaving" a friendship, always do anything and everything in your power to leave on a positive note. If you do that, you won't have negative feeling towards them and they won't harbour any towards you.
Get wordperfect 5.1 in there and you might make money. Not legal advice.
Actually, they do teach Chinese characters in school in North Korea; it is a common misconception that they don't. They teach 3,000 characters, which is numerically even more than the 1,800 characters taught in South Korea in school. But as you said, in North Korea you don't even see the very limited usage of Chinese characters in newspapers that you see in South Korea, so it is not much beyond a subject you learn in school. You could say the same about the situation in South Korea, though, since the usage of Chinese characters is really, really limited, mostly to certain newspapers.

The notion that North Koreans say 얼음보숭이 (ŏrumbosung'i) for "ice cream" is a bit of a myth. The authorities in North Korea did indeed introduce this word as a part of a linguistic purification effort, but it doesn't really seem to have caught on. A 1962 North Korean dictionary only has 아이스크림 (aisŭk'ŭrim) "ice cream", just as in South Korea. A 1981 edition of another dictionary and a 1984 encyclopedia introduce 얼음보숭이 (ŏrumbosung'i), but the official dictionary that appeared in 1992 again has 아이스크림 (aisŭk'ŭrim) "ice cream" and not 얼음보숭이 (ŏrumbosung'i). The 1992 dictionary also has 에스키모 (esŭk'imo) "eskimo", which in North Korea is a popular everyday word for "ice cream" which comes from a name of a brand that was popular there.

You have plenty of examples of South Korean language authorities introducing "purified" (often pure Korean) words to replace loanwords, which don't necessarily catch on. For "stapler", the official South Korean dictionary has the pure Korean translation 찍개 (jjikgae), for instance. But I have never seen this term in the wild—instead, people say 스테이플러 (seuteipeulleo) "stapler", or more commonly, 호치키스 (hochikiseu) "Hotchkiss". There is a limit to how much official language policy can dictate actual usage, whether it is in North or South Korea.
I was, and am still, under the impression that e-voting can never be allowed in a democratic society, since if it is possible for a voter to in any way prove which way they voted, it is then possible to pressure people to vote one way or the other. I.e. if there is no possible way for me to prove I voted a certain way, there is no possibility for anyone to pressure me to vote a certain way, since I could always lie and say I voted the way they told me to when in fact I voted the way I wanted to anyway.

This is also a large part of the reason why votes are secret.

E-voting must therefore never be allowed; it allows voting to be subject to outside pressure and would cease to provably reflect the actual will of the voters.
Not only that, 60 percent of Mexicans are mestizos and millions more are pure blooded indegenous people. Truth is that American's ancestors where quite genocidal among other things. To the point of almost exterminating most of North America's population. Just like the Buffalo. It really is quite a sad tale. That in itself tells you that there is no God. And if there is then he might as well not exist.
NK has nukes. NK sends its elite citizens to western university. NK has its own linux distro.

Most of NK would have no clue how to perform this hack - but you could say the same of America. Give a computer to an illiterate Appalacian and see how far they get. NK will carefully train some elites. Those people will have access to the wider Internet and will uave the knowledge to pull off this relatively simple hack.

That's not to say that NK actually did it - just that saying NK is unsophisticated and thus couldn't have done it misses the point.
Latin and South America were far more developed than North America when the Westerners arrived. There were a lot more natives in those areas; nothing near the size and population of something like Tenochtitlan existed in NA. We're talking estimates of ~37 million in Latin America versus ~7 million in North America.
Valuable suggestions... Thank you.
Is anyone aware if these experts have a CISSP? Otherwise their opinions are irrelevant.
I'm not going to fight with WP. Read the reports yourself and look at the statistical differences plus or minus.

It's mostly irrelevant since Mincome is not the model any present xBI scheme is working off of.
I remain agnostic and can't think of a basis for arguing one side to the exclusion of the other. On the one hand, it's not unthinkable that NK had a mole at Sony, or that the attack succeed beyond expectation owing to Sony's abysmal security practices, using vectors that have supposedly been known to black hats for a while. And of course it's possible that the U.S. has hard evidence that can't be revealed. On the other hand, there's the "trust me" problem with the US Govt, the constant push for a free hand from the agencies (and the contractors who supply them and the politicians who enjoy their campaign contributions), and the embarrassment to a Hollywood that overwhelmingly supports the President and his party. Finally, there's the curious statement by Obama last Sunday that this isn't "an act of war," but rather "an act of cyber vandalism"--odd way to characterize actions by a hostile state if he knows that to be the case.
I second this, I just switched my MBA to Xubuntu and I'm loving it.
So what Kept the Bolsheviks from becoming an economic empire, after all it was the same land Germany would try to use for its economic powerhouse. I mean very productive land, lots of mineral resources... obviously the Germans saw it that way. Still to this day, Russia underdelivers, given its vast resources --natural and human/intellectual.
What if I were to gift it capital and have it simply collect interest/dividends from the exploitation of said capital (either via loaning it out with an algorithm or by building a profitable business with it)?
Then you'll have to refuse to stay at Hilton hotels too: http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/comment/view?id=60001005951 .

Cisco, Aruba, Ruckus, Smart City, the Ad Hoc Telecommunications Users Committee have similarly come out in favor of allowing wireless operators to attack other wireless operators.

Interestingly, the National Cable and Telecommunications Association filed in opposition to the petition, with a rather strongly worded filing.
Phone reply, so I can't easily find the links, but those comparisons are to previously decided FCC judgments about interference. So while outlandish, it's very much on purpose.
They seem to believe they are more revolutionary and disruptive then perhaps they are.

We already have darknets and assassination markets and... and places to find scandalous celebrity photos and dox. The amount of ego they throw into their copy doesn't inspire a lot of confidence to me.
This AnandTech overview of nVidia's G-Sync is worth reading (meshes a bit with what Carmack mentioned about CRT/LCD refresh rates in that talk): http://www.anandtech.com/show/7582/nvidia-gsync-review

It's a proprietary nVidia technology that essentially does reverse V-Sync. Instead of having the video card render a frame and wait for the monitor to be ready to draw it like normal V-Sync, the monitor waits for the video card to hand it a finished frame before drawing, keeping the old frame on-screen as long as needed. The article goes into a little more detail; they take advantage of the VBLANK interval (legacy from the CRT days) to get the display to act like this.
Firstly, what the British government did or didn't do is not really relevant to conversations about the US government.

If you actually think that regarding this subject, then you have not looked into the events leading up to the Iraq war at all, and you definitely should read up on it more.
> if it is possible for a voter to in any way prove which way they voted, it is then possible to pressure people to vote one way or the other.

Can't deniability be ensured crytographically? I know it can be done cleverly for paper (there's a great TED talk on it), so I'm unsure why it's impossible digitally.

About the buffalo. First nations really think it's funny (patronizing) when some whites think FNs were all about peace and understanding. It makes them out to be emasculated. No, they say, we killed way more buffalo than whites ever did. Colonialists killed buffalo as a proxy siege warfare b/c buffalo were a vital natural resource for many FNs.

I think the Spaniards (or Iberians), given their religion, were way more accepting of other peoples and readily mixed --which is why you end up with so many meztizos in LAm --whereas initial NA settlers were less likely to reproduce with FN peoples.
I came across this while taking a look at the Muse SDK. I've been practicing daily meditation/qigong and my western mind wants to augment my efforts with some type of biofeedback device. My first thought was to use the Muse with the Oculus rift. Regardless, the brain-computer interface seems important. We might look back 10 years from now and consider it strange that our devices didn't explicitly take into account things like our emotional state.

After watching Bret Victor's most recent talk, I thought, "This is awesome. I totally get where you're coming from, but show me something tangible." Maybe brain-computer interface can point us in the right direction.

I've recently gone from 10.9, to 10.10, then back. On a 2014 15" Retina, 10.10 is slower. Slower to boot. Slower to drag/move windows (jitters). Slower login screen. Mouse zoom that follows the pointer is horrible. Even with translucent off.

Personally, I suspect that the Intel drivers for the Iris chipset took a crap in 10.10 compared to 10.9.
I've been checking the laptop I bought in October 2012 for under a 1000 euro, an Asus N56VZ-S4044V. Let me compare it with the Mid 2012 MacBook Air, say the 1400 USD model (although they are usually 1400 euros). Help me if this is the wrong comparison!

First MBA, then Asus:

* Screen estate: 13" vs 15"

* Resolution: 1440 x 900 vs 1920 x 1080

* Processor: Dual Core i7 on 2.0GHz vs Quad Core i7-3610QM on 2.3 GHz

* Memory: 4GB DDR3 vs 8GB DDR3

* Storage: 256 GB vs 1 TB

* Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4000 (no other?) vs Nvidia GeForce GT650M plus the HD4000 GPU

All the other things might cancel out a bit. Bang & Olufsen speakers I don't care for so much. Or Bluetooth 4.0 on the MBA. Ah, the battery life. That one might be a pro for the MBA.

But perhaps things did change in the last two years! If I buy a new one, I probably will go again for a laptop that ends up high at http://www.notebookcheck.net/ though. I always go for good hardware.
It's pretty clear, actually. From the article:

> A lodging industry trade association petitioned the FCC last month for the ruling on blocking personal Wi-Fi signals.

> The petition stems from Marriott International’s agreement last month to settle an FCC investigation into a complaint that at least one of its hotels used communications-jamming technology to disable the personal Wi-Fi hotspots that many travelers tote with them.

Firstly, the ban on Wi-Fi jammers is an FCC rule, not a law.

So Marriott settled according to current rules. The hotel lobby then petitioned FCC to authorize them, and change the rules if necessary, to jam Wi-Fi. Google and Microsoft filed letters opposing this petition.
"America is not just pulling ahead of the rest of the world, it's running circles around it." Now, but as China pointed
out, 'You like to carry a lot of debt!'. It's ironic how
this booming economy, for some people, is under the over site of a liberal democrat? By the way, thank you Obama for
health care. It's a big deal for a lot of people. Yes, it
needs to be tweaked, but down the road--the poor and the middle class will look at it as a great gift. Oh yea,
you are the only president, I can remotely identify with;
I'll never forget an off the cuff statement he made about paying off his student loans a few years
before he became President. Go ahead and down vote, I know
he's not that popular here.
I've been half-joking with friends about going out to the desert and playing "gun jenga". Good to know the physics are in our favor :)
Fair point! Based on research the finding a baby name phase is quite stressful experience. There are a lot of books, sites and tools out there. But it's all cluttered. Most of my friends used google docs to keep track of their progress. With Babyname we are working on a solution that simplifies the process + adds more fun to it. At the end you could name anything with it.

Well, there's a reported cylinder-based musical automaton in the 850 CE "Book of Ingenious Devices": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Ingenious_Devices
So it looks like mechanical musical instruments may have been the earliest to use storage media, even if not exactly piano rolls.
'Increasingly, they will be supporting more and more people who choose not to join the pool. The percentage of money they earn that they actually get to keep will grow less and less because more of it is going out to pay for people who aren't working. Eventually, a rational actor in the labor pool will ask themselves, "why bother?", and will drop out as well. It's a vicious cycle, not a virtuous one.'

There are two things this misses:

1) Some of the funding for BI may come from taxation of land or capital (in the economic factors of production sense), not just labor.

2) Inflation. As people leave the labor pool, it gets more expensive to make things. As the dollar buys less, the basic income buys less, and there is more pressure for people to get working again.

"Inflation adjusted BI drawn exclusively from tax on labor" seems to be what you've considered, but it also seems to be a particularly difficult position in the space of possible policies.
Yeah, but how do you exploit that capital without interacting with the human-only financial/employment systems?

You can hire humans for things over informal channels with no intermediary, but what do you do for reputation/accountability when said humans need to keep low enough volume to not interest the tax authorities?

I guess algorithmic trading on decentralized/anonymous bitcoin markets is one way to have no humans, if you can get the volatility low enough.

How do you exploit capital with (almost) no human involvement?
I've been looking for a good modern overview like this since I became interested in the OpenBCI project that finally has some devices shipping.

During my CS degree I wrote one paper with numerous citations from the field of neuroscience, as I was trying to make a case for ways to change the way we teach and learn so as to build more robust memory models of the things we are trying to memorize. The case I used in my paper was pieces of notated sheet music, but I believe the same principles could hold in areas like language learning (whether computer languages or human) or mathematics equally well.

I'd like to build/buy a good enough EEG to show that specific patterns emerge when we achieve the specific kind of focus that allows for this optimally efficient kind of learning to take place. (The implication being that if we are able to induce this type of brainwave pattern rather than expect the individual to achieve it on their own, then we might be able to make a significant step forward in the field of educational neuroscience).

Leverage what you know. Build a desktop app in C# that embeds a browser (Like Awesomium, which is Webkit), and runs like a desktop app.
Woah, wait a second - I hadn't thought of it until I read your "move money from outside", but it sounds like a fundamental part of this scheme that it was financed from outside the region it took place in. IMHO, that makes it basically worthless for any kind of analysis on doing this on a national scale.

Getting a ton of money from an outside source dumped into a region will pretty much always improve things for people there. That hardly seems worth analyzing. Exactly what you do with that money is a minor detail compared to the fact that it's coming in from the outside. This allows them to completely ignore the essential factor of how to go about taxing the population to get the money to give to those deemed in need, and what the impacts of those taxes and the mincome scheme as a whole will have on the mindset of people in the region.
Long-Term Culture of Stem Cells from Adult Human Liver
How about PyCharm or Eclipse+PyDev (I've personally heard more praise for the former)? I use emacs and ess or python-mode so can't comment on the IDEs too much but being able to use the same platform for both has been convenient for me.
Does this actually catch any more types of bugs than vanilla JS React would? (Besides simple things that would be caught in an initial run, like not returning an element from render? Does it catch misspelled props, for instance?) It seems like a lot of increased verbosity to justify any gains.
How do we find out, if not by building such a system? :)
Yes, but only for those chips who would be binned in the high-end and go unsold.

And you can just design a couple on-chip fuses that can be broken in early stage testing. No need for lasers.

It's amazing to think that R (or S) had data frames since the 70s and only now are other languages implementing them. There are some quirks of course, and pandas introduced some convenient features. But the R community has also provided its own improvements in the way of data.table, and now, dplyr.
I'm not sure how your long comment about whining addresses either point I made.
The idea of running a Javascript interpreter as root is more than somewhat worrying...
Balls. Big, swinging brass balls. That's what the "hospitality" industry has to petition the FCC to allow them to block people's personal wifi.

No doubt they'd also like to block cell phone service so that you have to use the room phone.
Yes I am. You claimed there was no nefarious conspiracy. I claimed that hiding information from congress when they're deciding to go to war shows the opposite. I would label anyone doing the same when the consequences are so high (thousands of lives) as such.

Since you seem to disagree, I wanted to know how you classify the hiding and twisting of this, and other pieces, of information.

Also, you need to realize that not everyone viewed the administration in the same light as you apparently did back then. My peer group was split close to 25/25/50 on them being: lying bastards, well intentioned but full of shit, and justified. But we were only in our early 20s. Older people seemed to be more accepting of what they were saying.

The Native American case I was thinking of seems to be this one:

"Children who were moved out of poverty by the UBI saw their behavioral problems decline by 40 percent. Minor crimes declined. On-time high school graduation rates increased. Children who started receiving the UBI earlier in life had better mental health in early adulthood than those who started receiving it later in life. In particular, they were 33% less likely to develop substance abuse or psychiatric problems."
As a general experience it's 'good enough' on the iphone 5. It would of been cut otherwise. But for example if you compare starting and using any app on iOS 6 vs iOS 7, you'll find out that the exact same executable is far faster on iOS 6 than iOS 7.

They said at wwdc that the blur effect took a lot of 'optimization' work. You don't have a lot of control over how it works and in iOS 7 you had to hack it in by using a UIToolbar vs applying it to a UIView in iOS 8. If you have any view with a significant amount of the blur effect on screen, the animation speed will slow down considerably in the simulator.

They use the effect everywhere in iOS and I bet it does contribute to a decent chunk of performance reduction.
Not to mention you'd have to pay for it, so it's not the same argument as when being offered free (bandwidth costs, etc).
I'm reading this article and Sratfor says:

"It is worth briefly explaining why Stratfor fixates on navigable rivers as opposed to coastlines. First, navigable rivers by definition service twice the land area of a coastline (rivers have two banks, coasts only one). Second, rivers are not subject to tidal forces, greatly easing the construction and maintenance of supporting infrastructure. Third, storm surges often accompany oceanic storms, which force the evacuation of oceanic ports. None of this eliminates the usefulness of coastal ports, but in terms of the capacity to generate capital, coastal regions are a poor second compared to lands with navigable rivers."

This is just after explaining all the economic benefits to a river system like that of the Mississippi. I am just wondering now about the time after which the ice caps have receded and the river system in question occupies more land; would it be wrong to think that this could possibly increase its potential economic output?
> You would think with all the smart, detail oriented, outgoing people at apple, SOMEONE would have pulled the person responsible for shifting to a yearly cycle and tell them

Let me ask you a question off the topic, have you ever successfully take your boss aside and tell him he's not managing the situation right and the whole project stinks? (Paraphrasing what you're basically saying) A lot of people would be afraid to speak up.

I doubt the Apple managers are encouraging the engineers to speak their minds. Look at the recent reports of how badly the iCloud and Map divisions were managed, not to mention the ways SJ practically pushed his employees over the limits for his own vision and not listening to anything else.

Apple has smart engineers but I doubt they have managers that understand what QA is all about and focusing on quality than numbers.
