Re:i don't understand the premise of the post
It shouldn't be ok to incite mass panic (yelling fire in a crowded venue)
It shouldn't, huh? How about statements like "President is a war-criminal" or "He is not a natural-born citizen" — can such speech not some day be banned under the same doctrine? Because it does interfere with the government's efficiency and, consequently, the entire country's quality of life, does not it? We might think this ridiculous today, but many countries — including the various worker's paradises — consider insulting the Dear Leader a felony already. Don't you recognize a slippery slope while sliding down on it?
There is a movement to ban "hate speech" already. The entire Yik Yak app is banned on many campuses and today's students are being trained to accept such a ban already, so it can not be far away, that the thought-police spills out from those institutions into the rest of our world.
For the past 7 years, the number one rebuttal to any critics of the current President was that they are "haters". Do you think, we are far away from the sitting President becoming off-limits for criticism? We aren't — and it all started, when we were sold the bogus premise of "some speech ought to be illegal"...
It is naive to think that complete, and total, freedom of speech was ever intended.
Is it naive? Then I share my naivete with Benjamin Franklin, for example — a Founding Father — who considered any abuses of the freedom of speech to be a lesser evil than entrusting anyone the power to suppress them. For example:
Those abuses of the freedom of speech are exercises of liberty. They ought to be repressed; but to whom dare we to entrust the care of doing it. An evil magistrate intrusted with power to punish for words, would be armed with a weapon the most destructive and terrible. Under pretense of pruning off the exuberant branches he would be apt to destroy the tree.
Do you honestly believe, the fine magistrates of the 21st century Virginia would've helped calm Franklin's fears of that "the most destructive and terrible" weapon?

Move over swatting, here comes Yik Yakking
If the police are actually responding to crap on Yik Yak, it won't be long before someone gets their jollies sending the police on wild goose chases. Of course, it isn't like it's easy to pick up a cheap burner phone, hop on an unsecured WiFi network and fake the phone's location. Whoops.

Forget teen spirit this smells like desparation!
I thought those numbers were bizarre since I recalled that IE usage dropped had below 50% years ago. Now I see what the issue is. This survey is geared towards desktop usage only, and since the majority of desktops run Windows, and Windows comes with IE, it's no mystery that IE comes out on top. What is surprising is that looking at only desktop usage, IE is only barely a majority and not a slam dunk. That tells you how bad IE must be that people are actively switching away from IE. Hell, Microsoft itself is ditching IE for a new browser codenamed "Spartan" to get away from IE. What does that tell you?
Meanwhile, here are some links to actual web traffic usage patterns seen on the internet here and here. They tell a different story.

Re:It does show the full image for me as number 4
I don't get that when I search with SafeSearch off and personalized search results disabled. You may be getting it because of personalized search. When I paste that same search into a private browser window, I see a partial revelation of the breasts but they're whited out so the image is still not the full centerfold. It was posted to Twitter. Regardless, I don't think any high school student should be so sheltered as to be academically incapable upon realizing that a photo is a crop of a non-pornographic nude. Some self-righteous people just can't handle the notion that they might be the ones with a moral framework that results in more harm than good.

Re:Ounce of prevention
Even if that was true (citation please)
It's been all over the news that last year police killed ~400 white people and ~200 African Americans. The ratio between the two groups is roughly 6 to 1. Get your calculator out. You can find more information here.
it could be down to other factors other than simply racism...
A recent investigation in Ferguson has shown that to be untrue. We're probably going to find out that it's not limited to just Missouri.
There ratio of blacks living other the poverty level could be higher, so the police were simply trying to arrest all poor-looking black guys...
Killed. Not arrested. Killed. As in: Statistically-speaking police bullets seem to have a particular attraction to dark skin. There even seems to be a trend in them entering the bodies of people who don't have a weapon of their own. You're going to have a hard time explaining away such a discrepancy in the numbers when you go out of your way to avoid exploring whether or not it's racially motivated. (It is, for some reason, awful easy to claim they deserved it, however. I guess that's why we're hearing about Freddie Gray's rap-sheet even though he wasn't even justifiably arrested.)

Re:Control unit runs at 100 Hz?
I guess this might be due to a 32-bit signed integer being incremented at 100 Hz: 2^31 / 24 / 3600 / 100 = 248.5 days.
Yes, the moment the big bird would shut down was correctly prognosticated by the Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. While testing a crowbar circuit he ran out of time and came to while munching on phattened feasant at Medieval Times, in a daze of King Arthur. He noticed an unused carrion bit, and realized that birds of prayer who managed the King's affairs were hard-sinewed to pluck quills for signing and always discarded the carrion bit. He caught the underflow was heralded by the people and befriended by the King, who set him to work hacking the Code of Chivalry and cracking the Y1K problem. In that time there were only punch cards and knights on horseback only had a resolution of 1 bit, so tournaments were long the fields were full of snakes, to avoid spooking the horses the knights would dismount and cleave them with sword, leaving half-adders strewn about. It was Pendragon who had built the famous Round Table with 12 seats, two complete I Chings, where Arthur and the knights would drop in and punch out binary sums in a rudimentary form of patty-cake, which inspired the mechanical circular adder of later years. The Yankee's refinement was a 13th chair left unoccupied to mark the betrayal of Judas, and also to serve as a carrion bit.
There is a great deal more about gum-powder and 99 cent gamut of Steampunk-driven micro commerce, a Debian release called 'Guinevere' and a whole lotta Lancelot, but time is fun when you're having flies.

RTFA
The norecruitingspam guy himself spammed news.admin.net-abuse.email a few days ago with this. All he's offering is an email filtering service that blacklists the Jobdiva spambags.
He posted his screed in a Usenet thread that I started over five years ago, that's archived by Google, at apparently has a pretty high ranking when someone is searching for more information about all the spam they're getting from the Jobdiva spam factory. Over five years ago I happen to notice that every recruiter spam that I received turns out to have come from the Jobdiva spam factory. Ever since then, once or twice a year someone finds that thread in Google Groups, and post a "me too" to the Usenet group. Which I find pretty funny.
After figuring out where all my recruiter spam is coming from, it was a simple matter of adjusting a few settings on my mail server, and, poof!, it was all gone. Originally I never thought much of it, and only posted the first message in that thread as a means of sharing my thoughts, and nothing more, but apparently someone else now discovered effective email filtering and thinks it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. As Benny Hill would've said: biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig.... deal.
One good thing here is that now that he's got a good link from Slashdot, and, presuming that his web site is still up (haven't checked), because all his web site now only contains a big rant against the Jobdiva sleazebags, this will shine a bit of a brighter spotlight on those vermin, and perhaps shine some well-deserved sunshine on these sleazebags. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

Re:Seems he has more of a clue
https://www.google.com/webhp?s...
I found that to be interesting...
US per capita emissions of Carbon in 2010 were 17.56 metric tons.
China was 6.19 metric tons and India was 1.67.
My concern is that if India and China were to rise even a small amount, it would wipe out anything the US could do.
---
To be blunt, I'm willing to accept some changes, if all of humanity is willing to do it. I think some of the resistance you see and hear about comes from the fact that some Americans believe that we'd do all the suffering while others would continue polluting.
It is the belief that "if China and India don't do it as well, then we might as well not bother".
This is what was so broken about the original Kyoto Protocol, it was unfairly harsh towards nations such as the US. Even China doesn't really like it, and I quote:
"Negotiations were held in Lima in 2014 to agree on a post-Kyoto legal framework that would obligate all major polluters to pay for CO2 emissions. China, India, and the United States have all signaled that they will not ratify any treaty that will commit them legally to reduce CO2 emissions."
---
Going back to the first point.... consider that the US current emits about 3 times as much CO2 per person as China. If the US reduced this by 50% and China increased to match the per-person output, the total would be far higher than it is today due to the number of people they have.
So the question becomes... to reduce worldwide emissions to 50% of current levels, the US would have to reduce to about 9 metric tons per person and China would have to reduce to 3 metric tons per person.
Could the US do that? Probably, but it would be a big change, we haven't been that low since probably before WWII.
Could China reduce to 3 metric tons per person? That is likely to be quite hard, and they may simply not be willing to accept the standard of living that provides.
Now you might ask, "why should China have to live with 3 when the US gets 9?" The simple answer is, "we got here first and we aren't giving it up".
Which is why I have said over and over, we might be better off adapting to the future that is coming rather than fighting it, because if you really think Americans are going to 3 metric tons per person, you're nuts.
Trying to force the whole world to that level would likely start WWIII. You might think that sounds silly, but I don't think it is. Wars have been fought over much less, protecting your way of life is as solid a reason as any to engage in violence.
---
So the question becomes, what global level is acceptable and what level for each nation is acceptable?
Getting the US to cut is one thing, getting the whole planet to cut is quite another, and I just don't think getting all of Earth to cut 50% is going to happen.

Re:I like this guy but...
Although I am theoretically in favor of net neutrality, I am practically against it. The same economic factors and corporate powers exist at the national level as they do at the municipal level, and although we might be pleasantly surprised with the quality of the first generation of net neutrality, I am confident that it won't take long before the Federal rules devolve into exactly the same sort of monopoly-protection setup that exists at the municipal level.
And having that happen at the national level is even worse than what has happened at the municipal level, where, in theory, one can move across town, or across state, or hope that your town changes its mind. But once Comcast owns the Feds, there will be no escape. -

Re:This is news - how?
I'm color blind, or color impaired. Quite naturally, I don't really see pink most of the time. Hot pink, in bright sunlight, yeah, but there are shades that I just don't see. I'm not sure if the robots were pink or not - they were a light color, could have been beige, white, or some light shade of pink.
Mary Kay does run pink Freightliners and trailers up and down the road though. Some of them are dark enough that I can actually see the pink, others are lighter, and they just look white to me. Most of the trailers look white to me, with a pink stripe down the side.
This is what Google offered when I did an image search.

Re:Talk about creating a demand
If a price is today cheaper than two years ago: we call it cheap.
In a vacuum, yes... but it isn't cheap if another option remains cheaper...
Actually, the renewable revolution is not payed with tax money but by the consumers.
That's funny, you keep thinking that...
https://www.google.com/webhp?s...
Yes, that is how a state works and how a state or government influences the economy and the population to change behaviour in a certain way.
That's fine, but it doesn't make solar cheap, it just makes everything expensive. Don't lie about it, be honest.
Gasoline is highly taxed so people get convinced they don't need to use the car for every bullshit.
Come try that in America where we actually have some land and room to live. It is not possible to live in most of America without a car, our whole country was largely built based on them, with a handful of exceptions.
Now should it have been? That is another conversation, but it is largely beside the point. It wasn't, it won't be changed within our lifetimes, and that is that.
CO2 is taxed, so everyone tries to avoid to produce to much CO2.
And that is part of why your above comment about the "renewable revolution" being paid for by consumers is so off the mark.
Your government is playing with the markets and using taxes to move the needle. Now that's fine if that is what you want to do, but don't pretend that solar and wind somehow make a lot of sense on their own. Well, actually wind is getting there, it has a place as a nice reserve of power. Solar is still rather nuts in terms of costs.
As I already said in many other posts, especially to you: my
... and that includes most germans ... power bill is much lower than yours. With a similar or as most here believe: superior life style than yours.It isn't hard to have a low power bill when you live in a cold country in small homes.
I live in a very hot part of America in a very large home, you can't remotely compare our power bills.
The comment about "superior lifestyle" is an opinion and it shows your arrogance and programming by German propaganda.
(that isn't to say I'm not subject to American propaganda, it is just that I'm aware of it)
It does not matter that I pay 17cent per kWh (something like 25cent if you include the base costs)
... because I use so few of them.I pay less than half for my power that you do. I also live in a much larger house than you do, so the monthly cost for power is not a material concern.
I would imagine that if my power price were more than doubled, then wind and solar could be deployed on a much larger scale here. But then your comment of the "renewable revolution" being paid for by consumers is true, only in the sense of power prices being raised high enough to fund this via your power bill.
But that isn't going to happen here. While I could afford to have my power bill double, a whole lot of Americans could not.
Neither could the average Chinese person pay twice as much for power, so it won't happen there either.

Re:Why the surprise?
Thanks for proving the article, as he points out a specific issue with a piece of software fricking notorious for being brittle and buggy and you start throwing insults. Its because of guys like you that Linux usage has dropped soooo damned low its now listed as "other" and are still behind both Vista and Windows 8, the two most hated MSFT OSes since MSBob.
This is what happens when the users have NO WAY to influence direction, you get shit like Pulse and Systemd rammed down your throats. Metro showed that voting with your wallets does work as the users were able to force MSFT to not only get away from the "supergigantic smartphone" mentality that was ruining the desktop but even to go so far as for the first time in their history actually give away the flagship product to keep from risking Win 10 becoming another sub 5% Windows 8.
But without the power of the wallet users are helpless against corporate interests which is why even though a quite large section of the Linux userbase, from home users all the way to admins of large Linux server farms have said loud and clear SYSTEMD IS NOT WANTED and too damned buggy and brittle all they have gotten in response from the devs is this level of reply with devs even going so far as to copy verbatim Metro fanboys memes like "embrace the innovation" and "you're a luddite" and so the users have no other choice but to leave. If anybody thinks the woefully underfunded Devuan has a snowballs chance in hell with Poettering grabbing more and more shit for systemd at an ever faster pace? Then I have a bridge you may be interested in, hell even longtime apologist of all things FOSS Robert Pogson likens Poettering to Putin in that no matter what he gets he's not appeased and his ego has grown so much he's now blogging about how Torvalds is a bad role model and needs to behave and you think a practically broke group of devs is gonna be able to compete with THAT ego who is backed by Red Hat's big pile o' cash? Not happening.
With zero influence or control the users only choice is what they are doing now....leaving. I don't know how many server devs I've talked to that are leaving Linux over mission critical bugs in systemd, one long time Linux admin I talked to was royally pissed as he had a huge Linux farm and the order just came down from the top to switch it all to Server 2K12 because of systemd,while others are desperately trying to bone up on the BSD way of doing things and trying to make sure their critical apps work so they can jump ship. THIS is what happens when the users have no voice, THIS is what happens when their responses are like TFA nothing but insults and attacks, you become "other" as your share drops, the devs move to greener pastures, and your support structure withers. I hope everybody enjoys "Linux, a subdivision of Red Hat" because RH has made it clear that's the goal, make Linux a VM running atop systemd to support their cloud computing initiative, because without any measure of affecting development? You really have no choice other than "their way or the highway".

Re:Easy fix
That $11 figure is all over the Internet, but a better, in-depth, source is this one "Business Ethics: Case Studies and Selected Readings" By Marianne Jennings. In it we read that: “Among the design changes that could have been made were side and cross members at $2.40 and $1.80 per car, respectively; a shock-absorbent “flak suit” to protect the tank at $4; a tank within a tank and placement of the tank over the axle at $5.08 to $5.79; a nylon bladder within the tank at $5.25 to $8; a placement of the tank over the axle surrounded with a protective barrier at $9.59; the imposition of a protective shield between the differential housing and the tank at $2.35; improvement of the bumper at $2.60; and the addition of eight inches of crush space at a cost of $6.40.”
All of these individual fixes are less than $11. I do not know which of these by themselves would have been sufficient, but the absence of pursuing any of them is probably what led to the jury verdict.

You Might Not Need jQuery
http://youmightnotneedjquery.com/ - jQuery and its cousins are great, and by all means use them if it makes it easier to develop your application.
If you're developing a library on the other hand, please take a moment to consider if you actually need jQuery as a dependency. Maybe you can include a few lines of utility code, and forgo the requirement. If you're only targeting more modern browsers, you might not need anything more than what the browser ships with.
At the very least, make sure you know what jQuery is doing for you, and what it's not. Some developers believe that jQuery is protecting us from a great demon of browser incompatibility when, in truth, post-IE8, browsers are pretty easy to deal with on their own.

Re:"although not with bug-free results"
I'm sorry, but Nexus 7 slow charging is anything but a rare problem. Run a search maybe? Google doesn't care. It's not charger problem and it's not a cable problem. The problem is either software or charger circuit. I just don't have time to hack this POS hardware, software to get it working.
I also have the charging problem on my original Nexus 7 as well as other headaches -- no TRIM support with encrypted partitions, super slow. Not really using that Google garbage anymore. Bought iPad Mini with retina and never looked back. I guess I'm too old for this hacking shit to get it working.
It's not just Nexus 7. Google seems to fuck up everytime they do a software update. I also have Nexus 4 and after 5.1 OTA upgrade device displayed error and was bricked. Not an issue for me as I can just go and install factory image wia fastboot but I did a search and a lot of users are hitting this issue and they don't know anything about fastboot or installng android sdk just to fix Googles failure to QA crap they are releasing.
Wi-Fi stopped reconnecting in sleep mode since 5.0 on my Nexus 4. It just seems that Google keeps breaking functionality with every update.

SJW's are usually trust fund babies and well-off morons that got bored with collecting tangible things and began collecting stories of oppression as bling. They're charlatans and ideologues, profit mongers and zealots.
The geek has a future in the Kansas state Senate.
Well as I'm sure you've figured out, ''sjw'' stands for social justice warrior. Back when I and a few others started this tumblr several years ago, ''sjw'' seemed, to us, to be more of a criticism on people who used social justice to further their own bigoted ends, push already marginalized people out of their own spaces, and dominate discussions with bigoted rhetoric.
In the years since this blog died out,''sjw'' came to stand for anyone who supports social justice, a favorite go-to insult for white male nerds/libertarians/redditors. This blog is now followed by people with that attitude, and still gets asks of that nature. Hence the (partial) reason why I no longer update, even though I've somewhat returned to tumblr.
"Social Justice Warrior" has no visibility in Google Trends before 2013 --- and in the pejorative sense has never caught on outside the United States. Thank god. social justice warrior
