And I agree with you.

But we can't blindly defend governments, agencies or countries and attack someone just because their opinion or ideia doesn't fit on the "official version".

There is also a big deference between what I did (considering the ability to do something) and accuse them of doing something. You don't need evidence to think if they can or not do it.

You could do it if you modified the formula to decode a compressed bitmap rather than an uncompressed bitmap.

You could probably make the compression as simple as encoding a "font" in the number (or formula)... then it's just an extra indirection to lookup each digit's bitmap.

I think the fact that the movie represents a part of your visual field makes it understandable -- the surrounding setting is stable. If everything around you changed instantly, your brain would have a hard time adjusting. Might be interesting when more sophisticated VR is available.
You had me until you said, "Also, they are a great indicator of a potential mate. I pretty much use this as a yardstick while dating these days."

Compare to a key point in the article:
Over the last 40 years, college-educated, rich Americans have clustered together, enjoying all manner of positive network effects much like the ones I just described. Americans without college degrees are living together too, suffering from the same sort of network effects, except in reverse: crime, drug use, low expectations and bad schools.

So by rejecting potential mates who are not so lucky as you, and even encouraging others to do the same, you are furthering the clustering of the lucky and the unlucky, furthering the gap in inequality, adding to the tragic Mathew Effect the defines our world.
The first set of numbers confuses me

10 requests for information, 7 responded to, and then 43% of those seven requests has the user informed. How do we get 43% of seven?

Edit - ok next paragraph tells me 10 requests for 40 accounts.

To me this seems pretty low - given that GitHub has millions of accounts, that only 40 got suspected of being involved in crimes seems amazingly low. Or that not even criminals store their secret bank robbery plans in free online hosting services :-)

> Are you implying that by using Python 3 incorrectly you can run into unicode problems?

The problem is that `print(some_string)` is now incorrect, even so it looks perfectly harmless. So far I haven't seen any "best practice" guide on how to fix that. `sys.stdout.write(os.fsdecode(some_string)` works, but is pretty ugly. Handling all filenames as bytes instead of strings works as well, but again, that gets ugly quick. Cleanest way seems to be:

PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8:surrogateescape python3 somescript.py

But should I depend on users setting `PYTHONIOENCODING`? Should I do that in my scripts? It feels all very rough and causes a lot of issues that you really shouldn't have to deal with in the first place.

> The good thing about Python 3 is that once that boundary is crossed, unicode and bytes are nicely separated.

Not exactly "nicely separated", the unencodable bytes get squished as surrogates into the Unicode strings waiting to cause trouble later on.

She does. However, given a well-maintained engine, and 10 to 12 passengers, cars are easily rivaled, and given favourable conditions, even undercut. We did the math, briefly said, the plane has a higher cruise speed, and can fly in a straight line between destination, etc. pp.

Well...I co-own one with some other crazy blokes. While a 3.5-ton dry mass can't be put into the bike rack in front of your house, it hardly affects your daily life. I.e. she's next-to-none more inconvenient than owning a small Cessna or the like.

Edit: Judging from your user name, there's a different story though. From what I've heard, the U.S./FAA doesn't really like this soviet plane, and you've got some artificial prohibitive rules on it (compared to Europe).

"Harmless pranks" like this can have bad results... however they highlight how insecure flights can be in a way that will grab attention in ways that would otherwise be ignored.

There needs to be more available venues for PenTesters and white/greyhat hackers to be paid for their line of work. But security is often overlooked because the masses aren't educated on the subject.

The number of companies that have lied about "your information is totally secure" is beyond belief. This is one of the reasons why.

So, he jokes about messing with a plane he's on and then posts sad pics of his computer hardware being confiscated? Or maybe I misuderstand. Jokes at 1pm, Confiscation at 10pm. That looks like a pretty solid narrative.

If that's true... I just don't know. Even as a kid I've always respected the "Don't joke about a bomb as you pass through security." culture. I mean, christ, a plane flight is so f-ing short. Best practices is shut up, sit down, and keep quiet. It's hyper-public, seven powers of magnitude more touchy than screaming "Fire" in a crowded theatre.

Airplanes, airports, and other international public places are not sanctified platforms of free speech. They're special cases, like visiting your in laws that you want to be on the good side of. Religion, politics, blue-humor, graveyard whistling, none of them are appreciated by anyone, for the most part.

As others have said, it's nice to just pick up your phone off the pad, use it, and put it back, without having to unplug & plug it back in.

But personally, there's one much bigger reason wireless is so much better than USB: Qi doesn't wear out your USB jack. After plugging & unplugging my phone at least once a day for a year or two (and occasionally bumping it while plugged in), the USB jack eventually became an extremely finnicky, barely-usable pain in the ass.
Going completely off-topic: Why has everyone recently decided to use ultra-thin fonts everywhere? On my system (24" FullHD, Win8.1, Chrome 42 and Ubuntu 14.04, Chrome 43) the text is thinner than one pixel and thus unreadable below 130% zoom.
Sure, I can open up DevTools and fix the font-weight, but seriously?
Mozilla and Google claim there are bad servers out there that pipelining doesn't work with, but yet neither were able to identify those bad servers or reproduce the problems -- probably because the bad software is Superfish and other malware. You don't see problems with iOS Safari using pipelining.

Maybe they should have asked Kaspersky. If you have a clean system pipelining works great.

I think you're mixing up a couple ideas here. It sounds like you're thinking of Pugachev's Cobra, which is a maneuver that can be performed by supermanouverable aircraft.

In terms of maneuvers that could be performed in a WWI aircraft, I suspect it's either a hammerhead turn or a flat spin. In a hammerhead turn you climb vertically until the aircraft stalls, then use the rudder to yaw the aircraft to a vertical dive. Like an upside down u-shape. In a flat spin you do a power-on stall and yaw the aircraft in the same direction that your prop is torquing you.

Either of those maneuvers would be pretty risky - while you're stalled out you'd be a sitting duck.

It's Time That We End the Equal Pay Myth (2012)
Comparing to Citizen Kane seems unfair as it's not an action movie. So here are some other action movies. (NB: There are multiple entries for some of these but I'm not listing them all).

Die Hard 4.5
Die Hard 2 3.1
Die Hard 3 1.8
Armageddon 2.2 -- at least he's ben consistently on the quick side
Total Recall 3.7 -- original, 1990
Robocop 3.7 -- original
Haywire 6

And I keep trying to search for movies they don't have in the database. So certainly for action movies (1980+), at least for some popular ones, the ASL isn't out of the ordinary.

But then I searched for Alfred Hitchcock and got some interesting results. This database has many duplicate entries and some wildly different values. The Skin Game had 3 entries at about the same time (17.1, 17.3, 17.4). However, Rear Window has an entry at 3.7 and another at 8.8, and several at 10.5. I suppose I need to read about their methodology to understand why there's so much variance.
I would be interested to hear what you think the pain points may be. In truth I just started this up on a whim and didn't look into things too closely.

That is true, but "any malady of the mind" is a blanket statement encompassing severe depression.

It gives the impression that the medications are not significantly better than placebo for any mental illness, when in fact they are significantly effective for certain mental illnesses.
But maybe antibiotics are not the first line. The first line is probably: eat fiber, avoid sugar, drink water, sleep 8 hours, and exercise 2 hours per day.

Then nobody would do the first line, and the whole point would be moot.

Apollo: Scalable and Coordinated Scheduling for Cloud-Scale Computing
It's going to be really interesting when Google succeeds in creating a self-improving algorithm that even the developers don't understand - which runs entirely off search data without developer interaction.

If people prefer Google products using an algorithm that decided most people prefer Google products and therefore places Google products above competitor products - is it still trying to use their monopoly power to push their own products?

Who wants to start placing bets on the a piggy-back company being created that searches through Google API's? I don't know... something like "prefergoogle.com"

Yup. I find fight scenes with a bunch of cuts to be boring - and a bit disrespectful, even, of me as a viewer.

Interestingly enough, the new Samsung Galaxy S6 natively supports both Qi and PMA (Powermat) charging, so its possible to make devices that support both types of chargers.

My theory on this is that Windows 8 hyped this.

It's particularly problematic when it's being copied in mac circles because OSX has a biased font-smoothing algorithm that adds font weight (it's a design flaw). In other words, to get something to look thin on a mac, especially a non-retina mac, it needs to be very thin, sometimes less than a pixel thin. How other systems display borderline visible strokes varies depending on the system and the details of the font.
I still think the collision with underscore and lodash is intentional and appropriate. It makes a statement saying, "this library is designed to supplant underscore. Do not use underscore and this library together".

As always, cost is a large motivator, and here's a concrete example.

Back in the day, 3ware, the makers of real hardware RAID cards shipped a line of PCI (or were they IDE?) cards that had an FPGA instead of an ASIC. You can bet that making an ASIC would have been far more costly to produce compared to an FPGA.

And like it or not, most new Android phones don't even have replaceable batteries, so the number of users with oversized batteries is getting smaller and smaller.
