No, I never said that, and where would you get that sort of inference?
You can't "cut off" the local service provider if you don't know which local service provider they're using. DUH! Fiber? Cable? Wireless? Cellular? Many people have two. Cutting off their fiber, cable, or wireless just means they go to cellular. Facebook is the single point of failure for when someone is posting on Facebook.
As for the others, who cares? That's not what this article was about. Besides, twitter use is declining. Don't have to shut them down - they're doing it themselves.
No more than you're free to publish any other hate literature. We like our ban on hate literature - we're free to get rid of it, but we don't.
Now, you can deny the holocaust in private all you want, just as you can possess drawings you made of child pornography all you want - you just can't show them to anyone without violating the law (yes, a BC court has held on appeal that kiddie porn drawings made by an individual solely for their own gratification are allowed under those restrictions).
As long as it doesn't impinge on anyone else and isn't inflicting harm, we really don't give a shit. Hate speech inflicts harm. So does kiddie porn when distributed.
ASP was a fad, too. In fact, the vast majority of things in computing are fads.
^^^ AMEN. Preach it!:-)
And even those things that aren't fads disappear even though they're still useful. Zip drives, CDs, boot floppies for those times that nothing else works, all sorts of software that has been re-written and does a worse job than before, all the software that would still work just fine except the OS can't run it,...
The raw, anonymized data can be de-anonymized, Plenty of ways to do it. And no, not all data was anonymized for research purposes. Just like it wasn't being held in confidence for 92 years. They admitted it.
As for school closures, etc., that needs data at the local level on an annual basis. Not something every 5 years that takes another couple of years to compile and release. Schools can easily figure this out by applications for enrollment the next year. Linger-term trends, they already have year-over-year data, far more granular than what the census could ever provide. They tried to make that argument, it was bogus then, and it's bogus now.
Blame incompetent administrators, people not willing to be flexible with school boundaries, language, etc. The 5-year census is irrelevant.
They would have lost in court. had several legal defenses prepared, one being that it was statistically possible to identify individuals in randomized data by making repeated queries and varying the area covered. Would make it very easy to identify the income of individuals, whether they were adopted, etc. Making the data available for research within 7 years (and sometimes immediately) should be a no-no.
That the census taker violated the census act is just gravy on top. No judge is going to throw someone in jail for refusing to cooperate with a census taker who has demonstrated that they can't take even the most basic precautions.
I saw no reason whatsoever to ask about ANYONE'S ethnicity. Why? Are we going to deprive people of services because of their ethnic background? No? Then why are you asking?
They came up with all sorts of reasons, and I told them flat out it was racist, not needed, and years from now people will be shocked that we ever asked this sort of divisive question.
So the next census, instead of asking for mine, they asked for my parents, which is invasion of their privacy, even if they're dead.
40 years ago the city came around with their census, asking what language I and my then wife spoke at home. "English." So we'll put your children down as english too. "No, you shouldn't be separating people by language, so put them down as french, just to fuck you up." I had enough even back then of separatists trying to classify people based on language. It's neither needed nor right.
Fuck you again. So what if the government takes action? Do you expect government never to do anything? Oh, right - fucked-up libertarian point of view. Go suck some more Ayn Rand dick.
Facebook was free to disregard the government request, so how is that censorship? And, as I pointed out before, the user was in violation of the Facebook TOS, so they had neither the legal nor the moral standing to access it for any purpose.
And as a private service, with a TOS, they are free to censor anything whatsoever, and there's nothing you can do about it except whine. Don't like it? You're free to set up your own service. Otherwise, quit whining like a 1-year-old.
Facebooks has nothing to do with "free speech". That you seem to think it does shows that you don't have two brain cells to rub together. So, fuck you in the heart, as howard stern would say.
It is illegal in some provinces (including Quebec) to ask your neighbors for personal information about you. Even a licensed private investigator can't. Of course, too many people don't know that, so they acquiesce, rather than calling the cops.
There's no reason not to have a statistics act, same as there's no reason not to have a central registry for births and deaths, or one for drivers and automobiles.
Canadians are the freest people in the Americas, so bite me.:-) And we're not to shabby compared to the rest of the world either. Try not to be so obviously jealous next time.
Don't be purposefully silly. The single point of failure is Facebook. Cut that off, and you don't have to cut off power, snip wires, jam signals, or all that other stuff.
Also, a battery can last an hour or more transmitting video. It's just data, same as downloaded video.
The government was also able to jail you for refusing to fill in previous long-form census. I refused in writing in both 2006 and 2011, on the grounds that in 2006 some of the questions were inappropriate, and in 2011 because some of the questions required information on your parent's ethnicity, which if they want it, they can ask them directly. Long distance charges will definitely apply since they were long dead.
Threats disappeared after I told them that the census taker had violated the census act by having one of her children along when trying to con me into filling it in. And keeping info stored on an insecure laptop. I also told them that I could prove that the "92 year non-disclosure policy" was a total lie, that researchers are given access to the raw data after a mere 7 years, so please take me to court.
During the 2011 census, for instance, 89-year-old Ontario resident Audrey Tobias said she would not fill out the questionnaire because an information technology contract linked to it had been awarded to an American company, Lockheed Martin. Tobias was charged with violating the Statistics Act, but eventually acquitted.
Now that it's back, time to make sure that your data stays your data.
Who said anything about linux? Ruby on Rails is definitely falling out of favor.
It is now official. Netcraft has confirmed: Ruby and ruby on rails are dying
One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered Ruby and ruby on rails communities when IDC confirmed that Ruby and ruby on rails market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 0.01 percent of all projects. Coming on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that Ruby and ruby on rails jave lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. Ruby and ruby on rails are collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last [samag.com] in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.
You don't need to be the Amazing Kreskin [amazingkreskin.com] to predict Ruby and ruby on rails future. The hand writing is on the wall: Ruby and ruby on rails face a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Ruby and ruby on rails because Ruby and ruby on rails are dying. Things are looking very bad for Ruby and ruby on rails. As many of us are already aware, Ruby and ruby on rails continue to lose mind share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.
ruby on rails is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core developers. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time ruby on rails developers Jordan Hubbard and Mike Smith only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: ruby and ruby on rails are dying.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
PHP leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of ruby. How many users of ruby on rails are there? Let's see. The number of ruby versus ruby on rails posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 ruby on rails users. ruby on rails posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of ruby posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of ruby on rails . A recent article put Ruby on rails at about 80 percent of the ruby market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 ruby users. This is consistent with the number of ruby Usenet posts.
All major surveys show that ruby and ruby on rails has steadily declined in market share. Ruby and ruby on rails are very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If ruby and ruby on rails is to survive at all it will be among programming dilettante dabblers. ruby on rails continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, ruby and ruby on rails are dead.
But as you point out, you're the only one still developing and maintaining a single application using it. Both Ruby and RoR were fads. Nice to see them continuing their steady decline to irrelevance.
They didn't silence her right to free speech. They just stopped her from using Facebook to propagate her free speech, which, BTW, violated Facebook's terms of use.
Most of the poor are too busy struggling to live to worry about getting "beyond their class." The shrinking middle class is struggling to make sure that they can stay middle-class. So the majority (lower and middle) are all in the same boat - just trying to hold onto what they've got.
With the boomers living longer, extended care costs will eat up any inheritance from the sale of the biggest middle-class asset (the family house), so the newer generations are stuck paying higher (though still low) pensions than they will ever see now that defined benefit pensions are scarcer than hen's teeth, as well as more debt and poorer job prospects.
40 years of trickle-up economics (because that's where all the gains in productivity have gone in the last 40 years - in one direction - up). We broke something and we haven't got the political guts to fix it.
I'm sure people who are dual-booting two different versions of windows will appreciate microsoft's foresight tin taking away the hard choices and simplifying their lives.
Somebody should go over there and delete a few partitions - between offices and the enraged public.

He's just a stupid libertarian troll. Fun to swear at, and then move on. Nobody takes him seriously - he's just as bad as Trump.

Facebook is not "the free press." If that's your news source, that explains a lot.
And how many others? Also, who says that she wasn't on cable or fiber?

Eager loading might have helped.
Using something other than ruby on rails would have definitely helped.
Using the fad of the day will almost always bite you in the arse.

Bacon is not just for bacon and eggs any more.
