Yeah, the rape of Nanking is high culture, indeed. On the other hand, the Finn's are awesome, generally. They stand up against USSR and doesn't afraid of anything.
I, likely, have the maths covered but lack the domain knowledge - I know little to nothing about genetics nor their alignment or even what that is unless you mean pattern matching of genes to see, for example, ethnicity or some mutation or the likes. If so, then, a quick look (and a lack of specifics in the article) would suggest that it may help in that it would speed up the process and, potentially, reduce false positives - meaning more able to be used deterministically. However, I'd caution one to be aware that I know absolutely nothing where the domain is concerned and the article is sorely lacking in enough information for me to give a qualified opinion. I'd question why genetics would be using limited data sets instead of looking at the whole and then reducing from there but, again, this is not something I'm fluent in. I'll also include the caveat, I did not work in any area where this would have been a concern - as far as I can tell.
I'm a little disappointed that I had to skim the article. I feel dirty for it. It is, after all, Friday.
Do you have a citation for that? Specifically that there's more crime when there is public lighting of less than daylight levels? I'm not able to find any confirmation and this is contrary to the industry standards. Yes, yes I did model traffic and yes, lighting does come into play. I've seen research that indicated the level of crime was higher where there was no lighting at all. While your idea does sound plausible, I'm unable to confirm this with Google.
I don't have cable, I have DSL. I'm not home but I'm using VNC and connected to it right this minute. I paid a company called CommTel to run the lines and put in the CO because I'm quite a ways out of town. The company is now owned by Fairpoint. Fairpoint regularly upgrades my service (with no additional fees) and sends me equipment that I never use. They have tried to get me to use their routers (they wanted to manage them) and I told them to go get bent.
However, I can switch to any ISP that is willing to service my area. They are prohibited from restricting access to other ISPs according to law. I have, indeed, used GWI, for example, and was happy enough with the service, for the most part. I may not get the speed that I'd get with cable but it is more than acceptable for my needs. I am also able to use any provider that is willing to service my area.
Point being, if you're on the telephone lines (and not cable) then you may have additional protections and additional rights. Unless there's an actual compelling reason for the greater speeds then, perhaps, returning to DSL is an option that you can consider? With the DSL service, I can tell the provider to piss off and go to a different provider. There are several who are willing to service my area even though I'm twenty-four miles from the village proper.
I am a doctor. I hold my Ph.D in Applied Mathematics. It is amazing how many times I have been asked medical questions after having been introduced as "Doctor Gregoire." I've actually explained that, no, I am not a medical doctor. I've then had people say, "Yes but you're a doctor so you must be smart. Could you..."
I guess my point is that there exists some confusion. I'd imagine, or at least not be surprised to find out, quite a few people actually are under the assumption that 'software engineers' are, indeed, subject to licensing and legal liabilities for failures. There should be, I suppose, a subset of programmers who do belong in this class of people. A poster, up thread, indicates that such a program and group exists with formal practices and licensing but this is the first I've heard of it existing.
I don't know what difference it will make, except maybe regulatory restrictions on the title, considering that there are an absurd number of people who assume that my holding a doctorate qualifies me to give medical advice. Sadly, I've personally experienced this with, seemingly, otherwise intelligent people.
Err... Microsoft may not be a very good example. In the core OS, call it the kernel, there are few exploits or vulnerabilities as of late. At least not being disclosed and it's really quite a feat. I don't use their products but I am rather impressed with their security improvements.
Yeah, it's kind of funny. I had someone telling me that I had ubiquitous cell phone coverage - here on Slashdot, and that this is universal across the United States and Europe. If I go about 30 minutes from my house, it's then a 2.5 hour drive before I have service again. Yup. Ubiquity at its finest.
I have broadband because I paid for the individual lines (and covered my neighbors by passing their house, but one paid for an extra mile) and a CO so that I can actually have DSL. It's actually not bad - 13 Mb/sec or so. I can cope with that. I don't pay to maintain the lines or anything, I just had to pay to have them installed. Fairpoint, bless them, keeps upgrading me a little at a time (with no fees) and sends me scads of equipment because I have three separate lines.
I'll write a little bit for you. You don't have to read it but you may find it interesting. I write it not just for you but because the more I write it, the more I'm able to learn to express it. I'm also not so egotistical as to believe that I'm infallible. I'm always open to criticism and suggestions. I'm also, likely, wrong in any number of different ways.
I retired here and fit into the community fairly well. Being "from away" means that I had to work to do so. I own a large amount of land and keep it open to the public - in fact, I invite them to use it to hunt, fish, and engage in other recreational activities. (I bought a bunch of old paper company land - I'm up over 12,000 acres now. It's all to go to the land trust when I die except for a 'small' piece that is to go into its own trust and will be usable by my children and their children - they'll never directly own it.)
As for the campaign... I'm a sane Libertarian. Ayn Rand was an idiot, Rand Paul is not a Libertarian. Laissez faire capitalism is stupid - the free market does not and can not exist. I can probably shorten the description by calling myself a Classic Libertarian or a Socialist Libertarian. I believe in things like a strong social safety net, effective opportunities, but, more importantly, the rights of the individual. Either way, I don't really want to be in office. I've just been asked to run, over and over again and the person who currently is in office doesn't actually represent the people very well. My job won't be to (usually) push my ideal but to represent the will of the people.
I'm accepting no cash donations nor am I paying for ads. If people want me elected, they can do it on their own. I am paying for some resources. They can pay to print signs, for commercials, etc... I will not even accept a salary for my position. Instead, I'll hold a town-hall meeting and let the people decide which local charity gets my salary. I'm having graphics made, they'll be open source (not even copy left but truly open). I have ample money and enough resources to even run television and radio ads if I want. I do not. I will not. Others can do so on my behalf - I will facilitate such and pay for the campaign manager (already hired) to attend to such tasks as well as a media contact (not yet hired).
As said, I do not want to be in office. I will do so for one term and one term only and only because it is my job to run for office because it is my end of the social contract. I'm in a position to do so and willing to actually represent my constituents. While in office, I will do so to the best of my ability by remaining in personal contact with the people who choose to communicate with me. I will admit there are things that I do not know and that I do not understand and I will seek advice from qualified people. I will do my best to make the best choices that I can for those who trusted me enough to put the check next to my name on the ballot and for those who did not. Where idealism is concerned, I'm not a zealot but am a moderate. No one political ideology can be successful.
I'm a fiscal conservative and a social liberal where the emphasis on rights is at the individual level. There are rights to be had for businesses but they're pretty low on the list.
I found Jesus. I've since lost the picture but it's surely online somewhere as I know I uploaded it. I know it was Jesus because that's what it said on his license plate. It was a blue Chevy, a bit old, in Kutztown, PA. It's a college town so he was probably there picking up chicks.
I've said a few things on the problem, I'll paraphrase.
Security is a process, not an application. The largest vector for exploits is in the chair and not in the code. Security is about knowing the risks and deciding how much risk one is willing to accept in order to accomplish their goal - there's inherent flaws in most everything and a degree of risk that is acceptable. It's a very personal, or individual, choice or a matter of policy for businesses. We can argue where those lines are best drawn but nothing, ever, is completely secure - not even an air gap is enough, if one is truly paranoid.
Finally, why is the opinion of Garrett important? Didn't he fork the kernel so that he could get away from Linus/Linux? I seem to recall that he meandered off to start Safe Space Linux, or Linux for Insecure People. I should probably check the Git to see how that's coming along...
Then, by my math, you were wrong for 20 of them. The thing about conspiracy nuts is that even a blind dog finds a bone once in a while. So yes, while painfully obvious that spying agencies spy, that doesn't mean the the government is controlled by lizard people.
The problem with git blame is they keep forking it and assigning the bugs to the other party. We get to send our pull requests soon but it's unlikely to change and the new maintainers will not actually apply the patch.
You keep using that word. I'm not sure that you know what it means. It's a loss of liberties or rights. It is not a loss of freedom. Failing to fill out the form and then getting arrested will result in a loss of freedom, however.
For the slow... I am free to kill you, I do not have the right to do so. I am free to rape, murder, pillage, and burn but I am not at liberty to do so.
You take the gamble of making little to nothing. With a VC funding solution, you have more capital to work with and a greater chance of success. It's a risk and one that can be argued both ways. I know that, to you, your product is special (and that's a good thing) but there's also a good chance that VCs won't even be interested in it. There's also a good chance that your product will fail. I do, truly, wish you the best of luck but I'd give careful consideration to throwing away the chance at VC funding, should such a chance arise.
This is not a slight, nor meant to be, but you're far more likely to fail than you are to succeed. Success, for however you measure it, is worth the risks, however. So, indeed, I do wish you the best of luck.
Oh, I'll definitely need assistance. The linked document was from early this year. The full and finalized text is just released by New Zealand. I'm going to wait for a good analysis based on the full and final version of the text.:/
Then I'll get out the torches and pitchforks, if required. I did look at the full text. I gave up the effort to parse it pretty quickly. Yeah, yeah... I know... I still want facts and whatnot before I get outraged.
I still have an abacus from my childhood. It's made out of some exotic woods (I'm pretty sure - they're not native to the States but I'm not certain what they are) and probably from where my father bought it - North Africa, he was stationed in Morocco. It's a pretty big one, it has ten rows. If you remind me, when I get home again (not sure when that will be), I'll take a picture of it. It's at least 60 years old now. It was probably the abacus that gave me the ability to actually grasp the idea around numbers, as an object, instead of just a concept.
To be honest, yes, yes I was poking fun at the modern American socialist. I'm allowed some humor... It really has become a matter of emotion, at least that's what it appears like.
I like Marxism but I don't think it will ever work without totalitarianism and it needs to be absolute. There's no room for there to be a comparison. It also needs to eliminate the "more equal than others" that seems likely to be inevitable. Like all ideologies, nothing can be done in its pure form effectively. That's one of the reasons that I dislike zealots and extremists - even those who don't believe they are.
In short, we need a blended solution that is open to refinement as time passes. I think, I'm not certain, that the original ideas of the founders might have been along those lines and that's one of the reasons we've the ability to amend the Constitution.
I do not have any mailing lists or sites that I use on a regular basis. There used to be a few that were worth attention but, shall we say, their message has been changing over the past ten years or so. We do communicate in person, on the phone, and via email. You will find like minded people by making contacts through events and whatnot - see: www.lp.org but they're not the most vocal.
These guys are not too extreme... Comparatively speaking, of course. http://www.libertariansforum.c... As I recall, there's a few there but not a majority. They're mostly Randians with the associated baggage.
If I knew where you lived then I might be able to help a bit more. We're not the best at organizing. We're not even going to clean house - it's not like we're going to do the whole purity test thing that the Tea Party/GOP wanted to do (or did?). If anything, I'd expect a few of us will tire of it and split off and make yet another redundant third party that doesn't get more than 2% of the votes due to a variety of reasons and a platform more complex than will fit on a bumper sticker.
Well, first I had to spell his name right. *sighs* Yuri Gragarin... I, obviously, didn't believe it but now I can't seem to find any references to it except maybe: http://www.biblebelievers.org.... Which is a site that's actually crazier than the one I was speaking of.
I seem to recall that the people claimed it was some Vladimir Ilyushin. It may have been a documentary. I took a look at the above reference and, well, they're crazy. I didn't think people would assume that I'm actually one to subscribe to this idea, it's kind of absurd. The documentary was something about Cosmonaut Cover Up. The above link mentioned something but I'm way too lazy to read it all. I'm also supposed to be a little busy right now.
Now, just to make sure, this is not something I believe in. It is something I found amusing in passing as I came across it. I sort of didn't think I'd need to make that clear but I might have to.;-)
I'm kind of sorry for exposing you to this. You seem like an otherwise nice person.
Were I home, I'd offer to send you a six pack. I am not. I have three left. I'm running for State Senate. I'm way up north, though. Technically, North West. I'm up above Rangeley. You want a ballot? I'll get you a ballot... (No, that was my attempt at humor. This should not now, nor ever, be taken as anything other than one of my poorly worded jokes.)
LSJ finds this and I'm so not getting elected. Meh... I'm okay with that. If they can't handle humor then I sure as hell don't think they'll want me to represent them.

Ah - but it *is* SJW Friday! It's a bit of a toss-up. I'm not quite sure where it belongs.

They don't need to hand it over. We're geeks. We can revoke it from remote, quite probably with a variety of protocols.
Heh... You too, eh? A quick look indicates that I've got 134 ISO's torrenting right now. My ISP is cool about it, though.
