It depends on a lot of factors, but mostly what you take with you out of college and into the real world. Elite colleges place virtual restrictions in order to create some community that they consider 'elite', and its strength in

I hope you keep us up to date. I live in the US and I've had accounts suddenly locked out after their passwords were changed even for criticizing some Chinese issue. Several email accounts, among other sites. With the amount of money t

The way I see it is DNA is much like a very long running program meant to run for millions to billions of years. Our current life is an instance of some code in the DNA. Due to the longevity of the purpose of DNA, and our short span in an i

I blame it on primate science. Some scientists got some chimps, did some tests, and figured running tests and puzzles on the chimps to gauge their performance must map to humans as well due to a loosely correlated metric, such as genetic di

Reminds me of debian and ubuntu's requirement that apt-get is run under root. There is simple ways to get apt-get to run on non-root, but it require giving permission to non-root account to modify important package signature files. But

MacArthur publicly stated dropping nuclear weapons on the northern border of the Korean peninsula to prevent the Chinese hordes from invading was necessary to secure peace in the Korean peninsula. Truman fired him because the long-term stra

I'd put money the Japanese gov/intel just sets up a virtual TOR in their own cloud and redirect all queries to the non-authenticating whistle blower site to their own completely controlled TOR service/network. It likely will

Linus' behavior is one that is necessary in order to work with the dominant culture in OSS, particularly white males. The open forum insults to establish the pecking order, and to deter thin skinned people is one that is also abundant

If some girl scouts' dad came to me, and told me they were selling mint chocolate chip cookies which I buy 10 packs of, but gave me butter almond instead to 'test a hypothesis'... there would be problems and repercussions of

That is how it works, unless there's a buffer overflow that allows installing undetected corrupted packages. One of things that is surprising about apt-get and its integrity of debian/ubuntu, is nothing requiring root permissions

Atleast for some of the Samsung Phones which are becoming quickly popular for custom Android-based operating systems. Some setups with an independent USB to a baseband module can still control the bus to other devices by exploiting USB host

The main goal would eventually be to require by law that all communications become privy to the government agencies, and outlawing any non-identifiable communications. This way they'll be able to maintain some argument of 'democra

The article boils down to a basic fact: "The unexotic underclass are unexploitable." Despite all the dancing around this fact, it pops out in the article like a pimple on an ivy leaguing debutant's nose in their weekly dermot

In the US, dealing with Chinese who have that 'Houkou' system can also be very difficult, as they've established significant connections with the local native population. The only thing Shenzhen appears it has going for it is

This phone is preferable over any of Apple's lock-in, overtly proprietary devices. It's a shame there's not any good app markets for the US. Apple and Google are populous, but the market experience is very sub-par. Seeing how

'bad HTML' could easily have just been an ego clash and pissing contest between developers of competing browsers. It was arguably more difficult to implement than just well-structured syntax.

Ironically, by getting used to dole out work to others (subordinates) by paying them and expecting success is their basic managerial ethos, and one that even predominates modern Western management. This does properly prepare them in a way f

Yes, I've been through Seattle quite a few times. There are very distinct modes of separation that are very noticeable, where the barriers are not obvious. No visible walls separating ghettos, or various minorities and whites. Go to th

Then you should read your own comments and cringe as well as it adds nothing, nor explains your subjective reaction.

I'm not that surprised. Obtaining self-sustainment is more rewarding than being exploited by serving another. Discontent stems from being exploited, and LA, NY are clear examples of cities and areas where expectation and exploitation g

What is the frequency that they asked the question and did they weigh their response to heavily? It would be useful if they could count in the variation of how people perceive their lives. If it is based on just a few responses, then this
