Irish here (to give a context for a long time this place was synonymous with terrorism)

Quite a lot of Europeans scoffed at Americans in early 00s pointing (rightly) at the overreaction that followed such as {invading Iraq|Patriot Act|TSA crap|Further rise of the military industrial complex} for highly questionable reasons was.

It took much smaller (yet equally as appalling attacks as 9/11) in Spain, UK and France for most of European countries to go down similar paths as US when it comes to surveillance and the rise of the police states.

It seems to me that Islamic Extremism (while highly dangerous to everyone including Muslims themselves as ISIS have illustrated) is being used by politicians as:

1. A way to grab more power over the population

2. Not to appear as "weak"

So nutcase authoritarians following middle age teachings and stupidity are leading to rise of police/surveillance states which could be easily co-opted once the infrastructure is in place to result in what essentially is fascist / Orwellian places to live.

Ouch :(

An analogy would be a virus leading to an overreaction from white cells weakening/killing the host.

edit: What solution might I present to Islamism? Given an educated population the choice between living in prosperous and free countries and medieval backwater is a nobrainer. So the answer lies with education, economics and freedom. Quite alot of Muslims already go to great lengths to live in Europe/USA tho unfortunately the extremists pray on segregation and race and economic inequalities to drive their wedge and spread their virus.

Thank you for expressing interest and checking out ACUMAN.

The "about page" reflects the "old" concept, as stated on this new page: http://acuman.us/readmore.php

The syntax of the ACUMANSCRIPT markup language is actually more similar to XML (or, in the AI field, AIML) due to its rigid structure. It's fundamentally based on pattern matching akin to regex. However, the backend processing which alters ACUMANSCRIPT and processes the individual data is what makes it unique.

The knowledge base used for the Named-entity recognition for the processing of ACUMANSCRIPT is Wikimedia and WolframAlpha, used in conjunction.

It is all processed in the backend using PHP.

Well, the first two are blatantly wrong. Tar is suitable for streaming and preserves the listed set of attributes.
This approach makes it really hard to change the formatting template. I might have several, which change at runtime (or even user-configurable).

With this approach, my own app needs to do the actually formatting, while `format()` merely concats.

And to some extent it did end there. Before that time it was assumed by many that Moore's law indicated the sequential processing power would double every two years as well, which ended around that time. After that most increase in processing power have been in form of more cores, which means that you have to parallelize your programs to get performance.

Of cause Moore's law is about the number of transistors on a chip, and for that it has continued to be true. Physics do mandate that it will end at some point, when the size reach sub-atomic sized, so it won't be 100.

Tar already has the first two, and even POSIX xattrs (which this doesn't preserve), the third seems useless (seems being the key word here, some people might find it useful), and I'd rather just use a program that will encrypt the archive for me (i.e. have a .tar.xz.enc).

One advantage this could have over the above, is if you can open any file at random, as with the above scheme, you might have to linearly decrypt and decompress the entire archive up to that file.
Colour me shocked.

Men have consistently been negatively stereotyped for a long time.

Ask parents if they would accept a male nanny, and all you hear is concerns of pedophiles. You turn on TV and you see dumb incompetent slobs whose wives are the smart ones in the family.

The changelog is here: https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-changelogs/blob/maste...

Things that I find especially interesting, from new stuff:

> TxModel, a modern text model who works with Athens (Preview)

This is very, very nice. New text model was in the works for quite some time now and I'm glad it finally landed. Easy and powerful text editing is important, even in primarily GUI-driven environments. Pharo was a bit behind the times in this regard, which resulted in, for example, Shampoo (http://dmitrymatveev.co.uk/shampoo/).

> OSWindow, a new way to handle windows and input events (Preview)

This allows for creating OS level windows from inside Pharo. IIRC it's supported only on Windows right now, but it's a very nice feature and will make creating apps that "look natively" easier.

> Slots model instance variables as first class enities and enable meta-programming on this level.

This looks rather important and I remember reading about it some time ago. There's a paper about it: http://scg.unibe.ch/archive/papers/Verw11bFlexibleObjectLayo... - I'll need to read it again now that it's implemented.

Then there are updated things, all very nice too. Congratulations to the team and contributors!
> Pedantic, but unlike pregant you can qualify unique.

Pedantic, but you can't. Unique is not a gradable adjective. This is not just my opinion :

> we wouldn't have expressions like "totally unique" or the "most unique"

I wouldn't normally bring this up, but while we're being pedantic, there are lots of reasonably common expressions that exhibit gratingly poor grammar or sematics. You have quoted two of them above.

> unique means the quality of differing from other things, and this is a continium.

Ah no. Unique means "one of a kind", not merely "differing". "uni" as a prefix means one, e.g unicycle, universe, unitard. "one of a kind"-ness is not continuous! As per the second link, "unique" already contains the idea of "very different".

Thank you! I've began developing web applications at the age 9, and would always try to build startups that would mimic famous ones and try to compete with them. What has driven me this far is mere passion.
It is a good good point. Explanation: Each user on our site is able to enter 5 skills/technologies that they want to work with in their next job. Evidently it is quite common for people to list both Node.js and Javascript as 2 of these 5 options.
At the moment, there's not much difference other than Atomic Images / Canadian location.

As we move forward however, we'll be focusing more on containerization-oriented features such as integrated support for clustered deployments (RancherOS, Kubernetes) and the ability to deploy multiple master/minions at once with metric collection.
I've always been skeptical that computers would make learning effortless. It's like expecting that driving a car would make one better at running marathons. Learning requires effort, one way or another, just like exercise.
I can't imagine getting enticed away from a job by this kind of maneuver. All of these people are already, without exception, aware of Snapchat's existence. They probably also know that Snapchat, like everywhere else, is hiring like mad.

In terms of feeding the applicant pool, this is probably even less effective than the constant stream of LinkedIn recruiter mail. And more privacy invasive to boot.

Snapchat's target audience here also lives in the wrong city, since the article claims they are targeting Uber HQ in San Francisco. Snapchat's office is in LA.

Are drivers licenses also a form of slavery because you're not allowed to drive with out one, and in order to keep it you have to follow most of the rules of the road?

Most people would say that it's ridiculous to compare drivers licenses to slavery, even libertarians will tell you it's a loss of freedom but few would compare it to slavery, because for the most part drivers licenses and slavery have nothing in common.

TextSecure is either Text (SMS, which are not encrypted), OR secure (data). Not both simultaneously.
I think some people in this thread are misunderstanding what they are doing. They are not reading people's snaps to profile if they are a top engineer and then send them job offers.

They are using a feature, where if you are in Paris you can add a sticker of the Eiffel tower to your pictures, if you're in Egypt you can add the pyramids and if you are near the office of uber you (that is anybody) can add little taxis to your pictures.

It's a cute feature, where if somebody adds Big Ben to a snap, you know he is in London. It encourages people to snap "in the moment" lest they forgo a cute sticker, but since it is just a sticker, you can hardly say they are forcing anyone to snap more.
I was under the impression that Packer was used to create machine images for EC2 and DigitalOcean, but apparently it supports building Docker images now. That's perfect!

It is not a hasard to have this kind of laws in France. France hasn't known dictatorship for long. French representatives don't know what a Stasi-like security state would look like. It would be harder to have such a law in Germany.

The low number of delegates during the vote whows how archaic the French politic system is: they are against their own party so they prefer to be missing. There is little discussion. And there is no way to make a petition in France that would go to the parliament or provoke a referendum.

France just shows how current institutions are overwhelmed by new technologies.
Yeah, I'm referring to the part where they use data. That said, didn't WhisperSystems remove the SMS part recently ? Or was it just SMS encryption ?

No it's not. It's available on quite old versions of python.

Python 2.4 is actually pretty ancient. To put it into perspective, it's from when we had things Firefox 2.0, and IE6 was the latest IE.

So, I live in Shanghai, which hopefully qualifies as "urban" with a population of over 20 million people (according to wikipedia, almost 10k per square mile, healthily above LA). All of the following situations are routine:

1. Dedicated bike lanes.

2. Bikes hiding along the side of a street without bike lanes, hoping not to be killed.

3. Bikes using the sidewalk.

Sharing the sidewalk is far and away the safest thing for the bikers; even if you're using a dedicated bike lane you'll sometimes have to cross car traffic (say, if you're making a left turn -- I'm willing to do this as part of a giant herd of bikes, but if I'm on my own I just use crosswalks with the pedestrians). Cars are fast; bikes aren't. I could see myself potentially injuring a small child by crashing into them with my bike; I cannot imagine seriously injuring an adult the same way. I have personally been involved in a bike crash; I crashed into a motorized bicycle going the other way in a bike lane. This is much worse in terms of speed differential than a bike hitting a pedestrian, but the total of my injuries was a bleeding knuckle.

> The optimal solution is of course to build dedicated bike lanes

This is phrased with much more confidence than I believe you can reasonably have. Maybe a better solution is to assume that bikers aren't such idiots that they'll be crushing children beneath their wheels all the time if you allow them on the sidewalks. I fairly frequently get stuck behind groups of pedestrians when the sidewalk isn't wide enough for me to go around them. I've often heard one of them say to another "hey, let that guy by". I've never heard anyone say "hey, get off the sidewalk".

> If cycling is to be seen as a form of transportation they also need to have access to proper infrastructure.

Trust me, cycling is viewed as a form of transportation here. And yes, dedicated bike lanes are all over the place. But it's still routine for bikes to use the sidewalk. There are plenty of older areas with wide sidewalks and narrow streets.
Case Study: The Use of Virtual Reality in Education
French president Hollande is visiting Lausanne, Switzerland this afternoon. His trains supposedly arrives at 3:20 at Prilly-Malley station. He will then proceed to the EPFL (Polytechnic school). [Full schedule http://files.newsnetz.ch/story/3/0/0/30072626/11/topelement.... ]

Allegedly to protect the people, the object of that law is rather to decriminalize and widen the PM's surveillance capabilities.

The law just exempted french agents for any illegal data acquisition done on foreign targets. One of the seven goals the law encompasses is "major scientific and economic interests". Don't deal with France, starting from may 6th.

Kudos to the couple deputies that show concern and bear with the long hours and kafkaesque atmosphere.

Mandatory handling of encryption keys on request is also part of the package. Hosters and ISPs like it.

"DPI algorithms shall remain secret, for they'll lose their effectiveness otherwise." Such StO.

Oversight over it all will be restricted to a 7-ish member court.

I wonder how much this was driven by SnapChats HR needs vs being a beta for SnapChat sales to show how you can build super unique targeted advertising. Couldn't Nike do a cute "unhappy with you Kicks?" And show a ghost in Nikes whenever someone was within 200 feet of a Footlocker? This advertising seems like an incredible advancement over anything we've seen (because it's real -.they're doing it)

And I can't think in any way to change that. In fact, it's easy to see how it's going to grow worse.
Apple Watch Review Full Specs Features – EGadgets4U
Hey, great questions, and thanks for the feedback. I agree with you re the 'many projects at once' sentiment. Let me see if I can clarify:

We can charge less because because we have standardised the process with software.

When a user leaves feedback on your website with TalkToUsers, the feedback comprises a screenshot, the textual content of the feedback, and the browser/user information.

We run some analysis on your feedback over a period, let's say a month: where people clicked, certain analytics, sentiment. This includes lots of derived quantitative information (i.e. 10 other people clicked on this div and left feedback). This bunch of data is sent to the UX team when your report is due.

The deliverable to the UX team is standardised, which means they can more quickly consume it. They read the derived data, and go through the screenshots. They use their experience to make qualitative judgment: 'Hey, these users aren't happy because of x, y, z. This came up in the analytics, and now someone is complaining about it'. After digesting this, they make an argument for what should come next. They enter their thoughts into the dashboard, and a report is created with the data, and they move onto the next one.

So, it takes them a lot shorter period of time to digest the data than alternative solutions, because the process has been streamlined: they are a part of what is essentially still a system driven by software, not people. Their input is vital and could not be done by a machine, but the 'operations' side of things has been automated.

For the reliability, it means that if one of our clients reaches out to us, someone in the UX team will be there and can offer some on-demand insights. It's a bit like having lots of smaller Heroku instances, vs. one big AWS one.

Does this answer your question? This is a pretty new service, so I'd love to get any more thoughts.

Thanks again.

There always was an issue of people being absent at the Assembly, so that concept was hard to enforce.

It is usually not that bad, though. I think the low number is due to allegiance to a party. Socialists felt like they had to vote in agreement to their party leaders to advance their careers, but to avoid backslash from the press and the public, many didn't show up. Their opposition, the right wing, always was big on tighter consumer control and surveillance. The previous president famously had speeches where he described his ambition to wash out undesirables with Kärcher, and he made some waves during his mandate as Minister of the Interior when he talked about his intention to track immigrants. Since he is still considered important in their party, I suppose many had the same dilemma and didn't come.
This is really nice and well done

Quality vs. price
Quite right. There are some cases where the cyclist is actually not visible enough (no lights, no reflectors). But more common is 1) the driver didn't look, 2) the driver didn't look carefully enough, 3) the driver couldn't see even if he/she was careful.

For case 3) and HGV, a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzL0Kyk4m-8
And ditto from my perspective. But it still bugs me when I have my kids running around that the exception that proves the rule will arise, and it's more robust to have the AP directed into the mug at brew time than inverted, so I just rely on the vacuum to work the magic.*

Do you know what is the status of scsh? It's an old project, seemingly unmaintained. Is it considered feature complete? Are there any active users of scsh? What about bugs?

Last time I checked a package for scsh for Fedora was somehow broken and/or conflicting with Chicken and I went with the latter. In general I like the idea and APIs of scsh, I'm just afraid that there will be no one to ask for help if I hit some problems. With Chicken or Racket the communities are active and it's easy to find support. How does this look in case of scsh?

Technically speaking then, the tar utility cannot compress or encrypt per-file, but the tar format can be used for this, and since we're talking about format then the tar format can accomodate the requirements. It's just that there's no tool doing it at the moment.

(A counter point: while each file could be compress and encrypted, there's nothing in the tar format that explicitly says so, meaning that each file would have to be probed to determine if it was compressed or encrypted)
