Pretty sure whack a mole works at the corporate level as well. If anyone is in position to form a specific subsidiary for each employee, service, and computer it's google. I'm sure everyone would hate such a bureaucratic nightmare, but if governments want Kafkaesque structure, well, they'll eventually get it.

Even with super helpful full disclosure, it could take years just to find the legal entity they're interested in fining.

But nobody wants that. it's stupid.

I kinda sorta see the point about people in .fr can see stuff via .com that the government doesn't want them to see, but it sure seems like trying to legislate no rain on saturday.
They used to require an extension but they don't any longer. Also, their mobile apps are amazing. I don't believe Google Reader had anything like that.

For the past year, i had two projects which required me to work with LLVM. Because of the scarcity of articles/documentation, i found it really hard to get into it. The API Docs and a few articles by Eli Bendersky(thank you so much!!! ) was all i found useful.

But once i got past the basic hurdles, the llvm project code was so well written, i felt a certain pleasure working with it.

Perhaps slightly ironic in this case, but one big reason for a company to have an office in another country is for political influence.
What will Microsoft be doing a year from now in regards to pricing and services? This really requires some clarity, because so far Win10 is not looking good from a privacy perspective IMO. It's not easy to recommend an upgrade right now with so much unanswered questions regarding data usage and price roadmap. What is their strategy after the first year?
No. I will not think about how one specific country does bad things every time someone points out any other country doing bad things.
If the credits ended up being donated to a non-profit org, and Amazon can't overlook it, then Amazon is just being a prick about it. Hopefully, I am jumping the gun a bit here..
I had a mentor of sorts who was this retired engineer who went to MIT and he gave me the advice that bonsai is one half art, one half biology, one half philosophy. This adds up to over 100% obviously but the point was that to be good at bonsai you needed to have at least two of those things down pat. The biology is interesting, (just kind of stream of thought here) although I was pretty young at the time I remember there being a great deal of interest in soil mixes, and special types of fertilizer which allow the tree to be healthy while also staying small. I was also taught to think of the root structure as a mirror of the visible part of the tree, and in some ways more important than the parts that you typically see. You can recover a tree from pruning its branches but if you over prune the roots it will likely die, similarly you can't let the roots overgrow because they will get over crowded in the small pots. Also certain species of tree with different root structures required differently shaped pots. Grafts were common, sometimes you might desire a tree that does not grow well in pots but you could achieve the same thing by grafting a branch of one species onto the root stock of another but this was difficult to do because you can end up with ugly scars or a contrast between the two types of bark. Another thing I remember being interesting is that some fruiting trees will produce miniature fruits, or miniature flowers.
Some peculiarities of Grothendieck's life
I'd be willing to accept it's just the press with their doomsday headlines that make it seem as if there was a delusion. But why does it drop 5% in a day then? Why are analysts always so surprised when actual reports come out?

It always takes me by surprise. For example when Amazon finally split their revenue to show how much their cloud offerings were making the stock jumped by 18%. How is that even possible? They have a cap of 250B one confirmation of something any geek with a calculator could've estimated makes the company jump 50 billion dollars.

You can tell me TWTR was accurately 2 years ago, and it's accurately priced today, but I can't believe it was accurately priced friday.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algae_fuel

"The United States Department of Energy estimates that if algae fuel replaced all the petroleum fuel in the United States, it would require 15,000 square miles (39,000 km2), which is only 0.42% of the U.S. map,[10] or about half of the land area of Maine. This is less than 1/7 the area of corn harvested in the United States in 2000.[11]"

A federal scale project with political, social and economical effects comparable with atomic bomb development. 15000 sq. miles sucking in CO2 and producing fuel. Saudi princes and Putin may go enjoy themselves. Well, with a lot of rich and politically connected Texas oilmen as well ... and this is the main issue, not the energy density :) And with another oily Texan about to be elected, we can forget about any serious advancements for the next 8 years (he'll get us into another war and thus will stay for the full show)
I wasn't aware of the extent of stock compensation costs, but I do realize that they haven't turned a profit.

You don't deny the power of the platform, network, and brand themselves, right? I forget the buzzword for this type of non-fungible, unique asset. I guess we just wait and see what sort of valuation it fetches in an acquisition.
Perhaps you mean Piers Anthony?

And that was a full-length novel, later turned into a major motion picture, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Edit: it was adapted into that movie, then novelized afterward?

I just joined AWS to move some domains over from another host, specifically one site I'm trying to turn into a startup. I set up RDS thinking that "pay what you use" would mean I would have no bill since the site has no traffic yet. Turns out spinning up an idle "production" RDS instance costs $800/mo which I just found out when receiving my first month's bill. I emailed support but no answer yet. I still plan to use AWS and offsetting this bullshit with credits would be nice.

Be careful with spelling here. You get it right once and wrong the other time.

Columbia - University in NYC

I make so many spelling mistakes I hate to correct, but when I ready your first sentence I thought you might have meant the university.

I think it is crazy that we still cannot define individually how many bytes of data Google may store to profile us.

Note that it should not take many bits to profile us in a way that is useful, while still respecting our privacy. For example, with about 33 bits of information, one can identify any individual on this planet. With less than this amount, one can still put you in a class of individuals, such that you get relevant search results.

The California Air Resources Board and the EPA have achieved quite a lot. Los Angeles air was barely breathable in the 1970s. Now, there's very little smog. Look at 1960s pictures of Los Angeles, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, New York. That was once considered impossible. Now, it's mostly done.

The only thing keeping electric cars from taking over is battery cost. Performance and range have already been fixed. Once battery cost is solved, and it looks like it's going to be, electric cars will start to take over. At some point, there will be a tipping point, as gas stations start to close.

Twitter's valuation is down to $19B, which is what Facebook paid for WhatsApp. I wouldn't be surprised if Facebook would make a bid for Twitter at this price, even though FB+Insta combo seems to be killing them.

I can't believe Twitter's product people are so asleep at the wheel. The success of Instagram shows how consumers want to consume content. If twitter was as simple as Instagram (and got rid of its silly 140 char limit) then it would have a chance of going mass market. You can already tweet photos, videos, but not more than 140 characters? Really? You can't have threaded comments? It's a mess, and the management is much too afraid to change the product. Zuck made many changes to FB over the years with users revolting at every stage. Twitter stood still. It's obvious now which strategy is the right one. Twitter needs to grow up and get serious if it wants to grow beyond its niche.
Hey everyone! Long time lurker just finished my first web app. Thank you all for checking it out!
An interesting idea related to this: Would high income people pay extra to buy gas from a carbon-neutral gas station? It could be designed and marketed as an environmental/elite gas station (something much better than the usual mini-mart).
Of course it is.

Google is not the Internet. They are a multinational company who store search results in a series of databases created and managed by people. Those results can be changed if Google wants to do business in France and quite likely the EU if it all starts to escalate.

And I'll let you in on a secret. European startups would be more than happy to build the next Google.

My math is questionable, but won't that happen in about 2070? (6 years to get 10% of the way, so about 54 years for the other 90%)?

Will we even be using metal and electricity still, or will all devices be made of superconductors and use quantum entanglement for data and power?
Yet America demands the right a) to tax its citizens globally b) to force other countries to enforce its sanctions under risk of freezing their banks' payment systems (BNP Paribas / Russian banks), c) Hollywood inspired copyright law must be imposed on the rest of the planet (Hollywood is "free" not to sell its wares to the globe, if it doesn't like the piracy risk), d) free-market "democracy" must be imposed on unready countries lest 500 000 troops land on your doorstep, ready to wreak decades of collateral havoc (see Iraq/ISIS).

France is making a point that there is a legitimate argument to be discussed about things that happen in France not be pushed out to the rest of the planet. They may be wrong, but the debate is worth having. If Google doesn't like it, it is free to quit France, and the french will be free to punish their government for it.

Imagine there's no Facebook.
I wonder if you can.
No need for Snapchat or Twitter,
A Diaspora of pods.
Imagine all the people,
Sharing their content...

You may say I'm a dreamer,
But I'm not the only one.

And the world will peer-to-peer.

It seems like web freedom is nearly within our grasp. The only problem is a critical mass of adoption.
I think the value of this tree is in the idea that one day America might give it back to Japan as an act of peace, since it is clearly a very special organism and the value of the act would truly communicate the idea of transcending the causes of hostility. Exchanging such a beautiful life form as an act of peace would surely be the penultimate act of bonsai...

Announcing Replicated Elasticsearch Clusters on AWS
The article quotes Perls saying (in 1969) "As Albert Einstein said to me". That's not evidence of Einstein saying anything, but of Perls appealing to authority.

When Perls published the quip in the 1940s he said "a famous astronomer", not Einstein. He wouldn't have put it that way if Einstein had been the source, especially since he mentions Einstein elsewhere in the same paragraph.

The Quote Investigator is extremely conservative in refuting bogus quotes; when they say "probably not", they mean "hell freezes over if". The readiest explanation is that Perls, a showman who (unlike Einstein) often made caustic quips like this one, simply optimized his story over time.
Only thing that bother me is that this article revolve solely around google point of view.
The main spirit of the french RTBF law is to protect citizen privacy when published media can have negative effect on their life.

As for an example revenge porn, false public accusation or protection of witness are more in the spectrum of RTBF law than chinese-like censorship mentionned by Google.
And correct me if I'm wrong but french RTBF apply only to individuals, so how could they even compare this with state censorsphip?

BoardVitals Raises $1.1M to Make It Easier for You to Become a Doctor
Fully agree - it took me a while to figure out "conversations" on Twitter, its very un-intuitive.
My iPad has been sidelining my MBP for some time. Installing the public beta of iOS9 - which includes cmnd. + tab switching between apps - accelerated that trend. And increasingly, I'm using Siri / voice input for more and more stuff. Now my biggest frustration is that my physical keyboard doesn't include a mic. button like the iPad's onscreen keyboard.

If anyone from Apple is reading this, not that you've got two empty spots on either side of the up arrow. The other one would be fine for emoji ;-)
Nope, Total Recall was based on "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale." I wonder what story you are thinking of?

Edit: yes, apparently: "In 1966, the late Philip K. Dick published the novelette "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale." A movie based on the story will be released next year; this book is a novelization of the script and the original novel" -- http://www.amazon.com/Total-Recall-Piers-Anthony/dp/06880520...
Yes.

The EU is already irrelevant.
REPLY-AS-EDIT. Well, they're not. Really. They are accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, indicating that they meet U.S. Dept. of Education standards.

Having been through several similar accreditations at my own school (I'm a C.S. professor at a more traditional university), I can say with some confidence that the accreditation process is not a joke.

So, lots of accusations are made against U. of P. I don't know which of these might be true. Maybe U. of P. is a collection of lying, manipulative thieves who eat babies for breakfast; I couldn't say. But they do not give away meaningless diplomas to whomever is willing to pay the fees.
There are many more well known nouns called Columbia than just the university, but amusingly the very first sentence on Wikipedia reads "'Columbia' is a frequent misspelling of Colombia, a large country in South America. See also Colombia (disambiguation) for other uses of that spelling."

Drones
With 35+ years flying model airplanes, from stick-built rubber powered planes to "high start" launched RC gliders, glow-powered planes, jets, electrics and and helicopters I've been watching with some degree of horror the evolution of drones.

Flying RC meant learning aerodynamics, control, design and more. It wasn't uncommon to discuss airfoils, drag buckets, laminar/turbulent flow, flight dynamics, etc. I met luminaries in the aerospace industry and became friends with many of them at model airplane meets.

We knew our hobby is dangerous. We have seen or suffered injuries. And we've crashed many aircraft. And behave accordingly. This means membership in the Academy of Model Aeronautics and one of thousands of clubs around the nation. AMA comes with rules and clubs enforce them. It also comes with liability insurance. We don't fly outside the club's official flying field.

Then drones happened. A hobby of enthusiasts with rules became a free-for-all. Anyone could buy one and fly without skills, rules and a social contract. We now see them flying above crowds, roads, airports and fire-fighting aircraft.

This degree of irresponsibility, carelessness and lack of consideration does not reflect well on who we are as people.

It's a disaster we are watching on TV waiting for bad things to happen. Dropping a drone on an infant is no different could kill them. No different from using a gun. A full-scale aircraft accident could kill hundreds. Yet "normal" people think nothing of placing others in danger with drones. Why?

The solution wont' be easy. Perhaps a ban on flying outside approved flying sites, a $10,000 fine per incident and 1 year in prison? I hate over-regulation. Yet if people won't behave with civility there might be no alternative.

We don't need to control all drones owners, just those who might tend to behave without civility or care. That, to me, means flying only within approved sites unless a permit or license allows one to do otherwise.

The music at the end sounds great. No whine from the PC speaker at all!

I remember pulling the 16 color trick in high school on the old original IBM PC's, but our CGA cards displayed a TON of snow whenever I updated the characters. Was never sure how to work around that, but it felt pretty elite to get nice colors out of that cyan-magenta-white CGA st show.

Getting 256 colors at no extra cost and 1024 colors with lotsa shepherding is so amazing.
Service for revivifying inactive Twitter parody accounts
I don't know where you live but here in Canada we have bandwidth cap. If you go beyond that, you pay 2.50$ for every 5 GB (I'm really impress by that price, in the past we were billed 8$ for every GB, up to like 10 GB, at that point you could use as much as you wanted).
Or it could be that accusing critics of hypocrisy (tu quoque fallacy?), instead of addressing the actual criticism itself, is simply discouraged.
I view this as a very cynical attempt by Googles' counsel to prevent it from being governed by the laws of France. Associating the "right to be forgotten" with Russias' homophobic laws is clearly an attempt to frame the idea in the negative - when the right to be forgotten is far from the same kind of heinous cultural act as homophobia.

Very, very cynical - and Google have lost yet another point in their race to dominate culture as a corporate, global power..

> If you think Soylent lacks something to be a total food replacement

That's not what I'm saying.

Everyone is like, "Soylent is revolutionary." But when you look at the ingredients in a mass gainer, particularly something like Aronld Iron Mass, they're nearly identical. Maybe some slight vitamin tweaking to make a bodybuilding weight gainer a full food replacement, but really, that's not "revolutionary."

Soylent is the same old ingredients, different marketing.

What's "revolutionary" is they're touting them as a food replacement, which I'm guessing supplement manufacturers avoid doing for fear of liability.
