I think making access to records of you, paper, video etc could be made a legal right. If somebody is filming in an area, they are required to provide you access to the footage. If somebody has accounts of yours, same deal.

If someone is logging your access to a something, they are required to provide you with the logs on request.

I think Europe at least would go for it. In Japan telephone cameras are required to make a clicking sound. This is an extension of the concept.

I get the feeling that Bieber is dissatisfied with his investment of time and student loans, but that doesn't logically generalize to shuttering the school. Like any religion, if it's not for you, then it's not for you. Especially if you knew going in that you're an atheist.

Pluralism isn't actually inevitable in schools of religion (if one wanted to study in an environment of nothing but conservative Southern Baptism, one would be spoiled for choice), but it's probably the only philosophy that would work when training ministers at a place like Harvard. Critiques of religion, possibly including those Bieber has, are interesting and worth considering, and probably are considered at more doctrinally self-assured places like e.g. Notre Dame. If that's the sort of thing Bieber wanted to study, however, he should have found somewhere else to do so. It's almost a archetype of the asshole atheist, that he would want to proselytize for his atheism in the same institution in which others are training for religious ministry.
The very first thing I noticed as soon as I opened the browser is that the tabs don't touch the top of the screen when the browser is maximized [1]. This makes closing tabs much more difficult since you can't just move your mouse all the way to the top of the screen and middle click--you have to consciously stop moving the mouse before it leaves the tab.

I can understand why they don't touch the top of the screen: the tab stacking shows up above the tab. My suggestion would be to expand the tab to the top of the window, and then just make the tab stacking show up inside at the top of the tab. If not that, at least make the tab's bounding box touch the edge of the screen and leave the tab stacking on top of it.

I found a few more issues while typing this up:
1. The browser seemed to think my CTRL key was stuck or something. Typing in my password on imgur made it switch tabs and zoom out multiple times when I went to type some of the numbers in my password.
2. Copying the image URL from the address bar after I uploaded it didn't copy the protocol. The protocol was hidden since it's http, but that adds an extra step of typing "http://" when I wanted to paste it here.

The browser looks like it has promise. I like the look-and-feel. I like that the address bar is the progress bar when the page is loading. Being able to add notes and screenshots also seems like it would be incredibly useful.

Overall, I'd give the browser another shot once you've made some more progress.

The data transfer rates are what will bite you, and actually are different than advertised.

I know of at least one group that bought bunch of GTX970 cards because they were supposed to have same mem bw as GTX980 but just less computation power. Their application is memory bandwidth bound so that additional computation would be wasted.

However this means they didn't really get what was promised. 196GB/s instead of 224GB/s.

Even so, it's still has the best performance/price combo for that particular GPGPU application.

The focus is much more on people who are currently running existing, manual processes in spreadsheets (e.g. monthly reporting) and has much less of a database element. For example, we don't do any of the "loading" stage in a typical ETL process.
Can't remember the exact figures any more, but for the first example (where we did stop brand) it was something like for every £1 spent on brand AdWords generated £3 from brand queries (organic + PPC).

At this ROI the money could be better spent in other channels. But as you can read in the post there were unforeseen consequences which I can go into more detail on this if you email me.

I've also seen it where £1 spent on brand generated £18 in incremental revenue so in this case it was worth keeping on.
That wasn't what people said in 1960 - as soon as AIs solve a particular problem we redefine intelligence to mean something different. Modern AIs (e.g. hypothesis generation toolkits) can be better at recognizing patterns in noise than humans. I bet in 20 years' time we'll see that - and we'll be having this same conversation about how pattern recognition isn't really intelligence.
You are wrong. As citizens we can grant and revoke government powers at will. Cutting off or significantly curtailing their revenue would have a similar effect.

EDIT: There would need to be a concomitant cultural change as well. As it stands folks are not aware of or engaged with what their government is doing.

Even if we replaced every government official today, it could quickly devolve back to its current state.
I love the Tab Stacks idea.

IE tried to do that years ago by coloring tabs, but then you ended with a rainbow in your face instead of really (abstracted away from you) grouping.

As someone who lives in a country with heavy censorship, I disagree with your opinion. I'd rather have a censored Facebook/Youtube/etc. than nothing at all. Thinking that you are helping Turkish people by denying them access to Facebook because it will "wake them up to what fascist regime they live in" is really a twisted line of thought. Also Turkey is a democracy, not a fascist state. The fact is that Erdogan is actually (relatively) popular in Turkey.

Hello, my project is still not public (but will be, BSD licensed, in a matter of a few months hopefully). However it is not broker-less, it's a cluster of instances that you talk via a network protocol. While messages are made durable via synchronous replication (or async, if you want), I'm adding persistence in order for single datacenter setups to be viable. However it is possible to turn off persistence.
> I guess it really comes down to who can 'reconstruct' my life. If it's the police or security services I believe that's absolutely fine, whoever you are (journalists, lawyers etc. included)

Well I'm don't. At times there may be suspicions and warrants to go after lawyers and journalists but at other times that may endanger whistleblowers and it should be overseen by judges issuing warrants.

> The UK government don't misuse surveillance for political reasons, if they did there would be uproar. We're not slipping into an authoritarian state, that would be completely at odds with British culture and where we're really heading.

Prove it. And how would we ever find out that the government were misuing surveilance? A whistleblower could immediately be identified by correlating movements with the relevant journalist or internet traffic. Secondly trusting today's government and security services isn't enough you need to trust all future ones too.

> I'm just tired of seeing a trend of people who post here all spouting the same anti-surveilance, privacy is everything, ideals. Without adding any caveats for the benefits and protection we gain from people watching over us. It feels like there is total disregard here for what we would lose by giving it up.

I never called for the security services to be disbanded, CCTV to be removed or ANPR to be stopped. I said limit retention. Is it possible that some crimes will not be solved that could have been with unlimited retention - Yes. Is it also possible that legitimate speech, whistle blowing and reporting could be deterred by the current surveillance - Yes. These things have to be balanced.

> I'm okay with giving up a little privacy for the greater good.

So am I. With the emphasis on "little" and "greater good". Your approach seems to be "all" privacy with little information on the "greater good" that will come from it or acknowledgments of the harms done. I believe of association, thought, speech and movement are also goods that are damaged by omniscient government (if people avoid doing legitimate things because of the surveilance).
The Sidebar API is a proposal/concept for adding a sidebar surface to allow chrome extensions an alternative to injecting iframes into pages in order to display something next to a page.

With it, you could implement something like the old Side Tabs feature (that you mention), which was removed from Chrome due to "the complexity of a tree-style interface in terms of usage is beyond what most users need or want, and in terms of implementation is more than passes the cost/benefit test for building into Chrome natively as an option."[1])

That was my initial reaction. I certainly could not imagine a situation in which I would voluntarily abandon my children to their father so that I could go and live in another country.

The ISP provided optional filters all differ from each other and offer varying levels of granularity. This article does a poor job of explaining exactly what people are opting out of - are they opting put of all filtering? Or is thos article only talkin about porn filters?

And just for clarity: the UK has three sets of filtering. There's the default-on but optional filters offered by ISPs (and similar has been offered by mobile providers for years); there's the IWF system which is specifically images of child sexual abuse and criminally obscene content. As far as I can tell only one ISP doesn't use that filter - A&A; then there are court ordered filters used to prevent access to pirate bay and KAT. Personally, I feel this is sub-optimal. The government said that users were clamoring for filtering to be provided by ISPs. I guess this shows that most of them were not.

Similarly to depression, things like a good diet, regular exercise, a regular sleep schedule, a bright light as an alarm clock all help improve things somewhat. Ritalin also helps if your heart can handle it.

"In fact, there's a labor shortage."

This is their version of the American corporate reported STEM shortage. There's such a high demand and so few qualified employees that IBM has to lay off thousands a year, every year, for decades.

If there's only "real jobs" for maybe 75% of the population, and 5% of the population decides to opt out leaving only 20% wanting real jobs and unable to get them, then its not really a problem other than freaking out westerners.

It sounds brutal because it is, but if you have too many people for your economy, then people opting out and negative birth rates is both a symptom and the only possible (very long term) cure, not the problem itself.

You seem to be asking if one could continue to do things as they currently are done, which given that the entire system is open source, of course you can. This can't possibly force all users to only make repeatable builds. This seems like such an odd question that I think I must be misunderstanding you.
