The bicyclist also enjoys a higher vantage point and less restrained view than the driver of a car. In some places the practice of rolling through stop signs on a bicycle is already being codified into law (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idaho_stop).
They are not really saying they will relocate, and obviously OVH invested dozens, maybe hundreds, of millions in new data centers and fibers.
Their business is based on real locations, in real buildings and you can't change that easily.
They are saying that it will most likely alter their growth and ability to attracts new customers. They may freeze new data center projects in France, but even that might be unlikely as they have a massive customer base in France.

Of course OVH already have several data centers outside of France, in Canada for example.

That doesn't help us french people, as our traffic will be inspected from where ever it is coming and going, as long as it originate here.

>the annoying one telling me I have to update my computer that I can't stop from coming back

That one caused me to disable OS X notifications altogether. If Apple wants to silently upgrade the OS without notifying me, I would be OK with that (though I'd appreciate an email) but interrupting me without giving me any way less drastic than rebooting to turn off the stream of interruptions is just not OK with me.

(Yes, I realize that I'm more intolerant of interruptions than most people.)

"Are they teaching kids about programming or computer skills?"

I had a friend tell me recently how her young child "loved computers and was really good with them," but clarified by saying he was "always playing with his iPad."

I'm not a professional programmer, but I did develop my strong interest in computers while playing around with (and often breaking) my parents' PC as a kid, and I've heard the same from many engineers. I wonder how a kid is supposed to develop that kind of curiosity if their only exposure to computers is the sandboxed, sterile environment of a iPhone/tablet?
Thanks, Jon, for all your reviews. It's a sad day to have to look forward to a new OS X release without a Siracusa review.

How about a Kickstarter campaign to fund him taking a month off work to write another review? I bet we could get a sum of money together large enough to have him unable to say no.

He is, in fact, the current head of the main conservative party, and will no doubt be presidential candidate in 2017.

I suspect the dilemma was more about avoiding to support the current majority too openly. As you said, nobody will mistake the UMP for a bastion of privacy and individual freedoms.
Lawyer Finds Hard Drive Sent Over by Police to Be Infected with Spyware
I don't know the history of this deal, but I'm entirely unsurprised that this didn't work out. Digital tools are just not up to snuff. Experiments like this are worth doing, but not with an entire school district. And jumping in when there's no actual curriculum yet is completely irresponsible. Blaming Pearson and Apple is disingenuous of the district. Of course salespeople are going to lie and overpromise. Anyone who's spent any time in any business knows this. The administrators and board members who agreed to this deal are the ones who are responsible. That $768 for each iPad and software could have bought a lot of books and classroom supplies for these kids that would have enriched their lives a lot more. The overhead of supporting all these new devices likely drained a lot of operational money from other areas as well. And there's absolutely zero evidence that tablets or computers are better ways to teach kids than traditional methods. Turning over all the responsibility for educating our children to a corporation with a magic solution sounds like a brilliant plan because we want to believe there's an easy way to solve the problem, but there's not one, and this is so much snake oil, and the people in charge should be wise to this stuff by now.
Suggested improvement to the French political system: if < 50% of the delegates are present there is no quorum and no laws can be passed.

This is how democracy dies. Now the 95% other members of the National Assembly will say "that it's not their fault, because they didn't even vote for it!", if some major abuses happen due to this in the future. Despicable.

Do you think there is a correlation between lack of usable infrastructure (even in the past) and rule breaking?

When I grew up in Germany, infrastructure was good and people obeyed traffic signs etc, when I lived in London it was every man for himself, as abiding by the rules was often more dangerous than not, and sometimes not even possible.

Edit: the real thing is that athletes' past performance is very rankable - Moneyball etc passim. Winners are paid on an exponential curve. Programmer performance is not only not rankable, it's barely measureable and interviewers have to resort to silly tests.

government has a majority in the French assembly. The result would have been the same with more deputies: law would have passed.
Each deputy seems specialized in a few fields and does not attend discussions to have time to work on other things (mayor, meetings,...)
So, not sure if quorum > 50% would be useful.

This was named after a GCU vessel. I wonder what the designation of this barge should be. I think it might be SDS where SDS means Spaceport Drone Ship.
Sorry, it ain't self-referential unless it draws the picture around (0, 0).

I have no idea if that's possible, though. Quines are possible in many programming languages, but the "language" of formulas without quantifiers is very limited. You can encode boolean logic, not sure about loops.

EDIT:

After some Googling, I've found a true self-referential formula: http://jtra.cz/stuff/essays/math-self-reference/index.html

Note that it involves a recursive function definition, and part of the formula is generated by a fixpoint trick. I suppose that's the simplest way to do this.

Also I really enjoyed the way he embedded a watermark into the formula, in a way that's difficult to remove if you don't know what you're doing.
That's unacceptable. In most other countries if a certain number of members is not reached, then you can't vote on the law. What kind of democracy is that where only 5% of the representatives vote on a certain law?

Does France have a Constitutional Court at least?
Is there a reason why Ansible fans feel it's important to hijack unrelated DevOps tooling articles on HN and chime in about how awesome they think Ansible is? It just seems rude, and reinforces the image that the Ansible community is elitist and intolerant.

10 seconds/day breaks 3 9's. The fact that this might be below the TCP timeout is irrelevant, that's almost certainly NOT the timeout that will be considered as unavailability. E.g., suppose you are delivering an advertising tag. Unavailable means > 200ms.

So these nodes can't access the partition and you don't have any conflict.

Conflict comes when you reconnect.
Thank you!

To be perfectly honest, as helpful as it is to read literature in a particular field: for me, it is and was definitely hands-on. I probably learned 99% of what I know in development based on the experience of just being able to live with code.
Ansible is a good simple tool with a small learning curve so it's not very intimidating for developers. But it has its strengths and weaknesses just like everything else. Puppet, Chef and Saltstack are all fantastic tools. It all depends on how you use them.
> 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.

4Q uses CBC and the crypto lib doesn't seem to support random access, unless you manually divide your file into separately encrypted streams.

The rest, I suppose, didn't care to show up.

I'm assuming it's largely strategic. "Everybody" wanted to pass the bill, but no one wanted it on their voting record since they knew it was controversial. So everybody got together and selected a small number of martyrs to go sully themselves while everybody else could keep their hands clean.

Anyone with any insight about how Apple does this?
In the HTML5 context, adaptive streaming is done with the MSE API. This involves fetching the media data using XHR. Since mixed-content XHR is blocked, if the app is on an https origin, the media data has to come from https origins, because cross-scheme CORS is blocked for security reasons.

You want to have the app on https for several reason, starting with the security of session cookies, but in the case of DRM, there's a reason for browsers to seek to limit the EME API (the JS API for communicating with the DRM component) to https (though AFAIK no browser does so at the moment):

DRM schemes usually implement node locking, i.e. anti-cloneability of the DRM state from one device to another. The obvious way to do this involves keys that no other device has. If information about the possession of a persistent key that no other device has is exposed to a network eavesdropper (e.g. by presenting, in the clear, a certificate for a unique key), the eavesdropper can use that piece of information to track devices and, therefore, users.

While this problem could be mitigated in the design of the DRM protocol, to move addressing the problem out of what the DRM component controls to what the browser controls, limiting EME to https is the most straight-forward solution that can be implemented on the browser level. And as noted above, this has the side effect of limiting the MSE-feeding XHR to https, which means the media data needs to be served over https.

Is this just not doing the same as the app currently does? It takes your location and provides a number of filters based on that. I'm not sure how them providing a filter around uber's location is any different, in regards to a users's privacy, to them providing a filter when you are in Paris for example
You would need to manage keys whatever you did. Puppet just means that you have to manage keys AND certs, so you have double the headache.

Puppet also means you have to babysit the client service and the puppet master, and if they go down, you have to get them back up again. I deal with this problem a lot and I wish I didn't have to.

If we are talking about descriptive linguistics "analyzing and describing how language is actually used" as opposed to formal rules ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistic_description ), then we must also love how the way that I use the English language differs from the way that you use it. And how my well-documented variant works too, and why they differ.

I don't use "unique" that way. Do you want "unique" to be just a redundant synonym for "different" or not?

Thank you for your kindness and for sharing that information.
The dutch have done significantly more to encourage bicycle trips than this one law. Bike paths, separated bike lanes with independent signals, removal of (previously existing) automobile-focused infrastructure in cities, etc. These changes were fought for and implemented with the absolute intent of increasing bicycle access and they have been wildly successful.
No forward error correction either. It can't be considered "final" without some form of bitrot protection.

And no, storing it on a ZFS or BTRFS volume with error recovery enabled does not count. (They don't use FEC, they use 1960's triplicate storage. Hugely wasteful of space, does nothing to protect against transmission errors and can still be corrupted by two of the exact wrong bits being damaged.)

Storing it on a media that does use FEC also does not count. I want a per-file tunable FEC knob, not one vendor-determined setting. And as history has shown, it needs to be done through FOSS code and not trade secret firmware.
We have a Consitutional Council, and they're somewhat useful. They censored the "graduated riposte" part of the HADOPI law a few years back.

Re IMSI Catchers: tear them down when you see them.
Eating Too Much Rice Almost Sank the Japanese Navy in 1882
I went on a whale-watching cruise last winter, and we were lucky enough that one of the humpbacks came very close to our ship and even went under it close enough to the surface that we could see it clearly. Obviously the crowd of non-scientist tourists who were expecting to just see some flukes and fins off in the distance were oohing and aahing like crazy. It was really thrilling and exciting.

So it's heartwarming and hilarious and wonderful to hear exactly the same reactions out of the marine scientists watching this video feed showing this highly curious sperm whale. It's worth watching just to get that buzz of joy.
Same way they do with anything else they care about: by controlling everything in the stack from the hardware up.
Lines of code is obliviously not a benchmark to rank a micro framework.

The term "mirco" refers to the amount of functionality the framework exposes. Often a micro framework is just a router decorated with some other useful stuff. Who cares about lines code, especially when you count "all" dependencies in vendor.

Given the life threatening nature of many allergic reactions, I think people should be careful to not trample the definition.

So calling the simple inability to digest a sugar that causes some digestive discomfort an allergy is pretty much entirely off the table.

The situation with chemical sensitivities is harder, but I guess I still don't want people in general deciding for themselves what chemical sensitivities they have that are equivalent to allergies, they should talk to an allergist about it.

Perhaps I'm just a stickler for efficiency. If it's something that I'm going to do two or three times a day, every day, for the rest of my life, I like to think that I can economize every possible step and movement to the bare minimum.

Now I just want to press a button and have my cup of coffee.
