Can you give some examples of those countries? Which countries are doing well and have governments that their people are generally happy with and consider representative of the people?

The blog post appears to have been deleted. There's also nothing on the Github blog. Maybe they released the post sooner that they had wanted to?

That's pretty sad. :( I was a big fan of Triumph of the Nerds [1] and his other documentaries and books. :( [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triumph_of_the_Nerds

I mean yes it matters to me and to my friends who live in Japan. Suggesting that levels are increasing implies that new material might be leaving the reactor or that the reactor is becoming less stable. That further implies that you need to

The reporting around this measurement was truly awful. I live in Japan, and it freaked out a bunch of my friends when really nothing had changed. It was also an estimate made based on the amount of noise seen on CCD camera images. That&#x27

It was widely mis-reported at the time. However, they had never reported a radiation reading from this location before. The title of the article is "Fukushima nuclear reactor radiation at highest level since 2011 meltdown". That i

The Guardian article you quote is I believe inaccurate. That was a new reading that was taken inside the reactor building. There was no increase in radiation. If you stand inside the containment vessel your probably going to have a bad time

Right, but it was really just an extension of the reCAPTCHA technology. Originally applied only to books. reCAPTCHA was a technology acquired by Google. Not developed in house. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReCAPTCHA

That seems like a reasonably unwise thing to say. It would be absolutely reasonable for someone to change there passwords after breach. By citing a personal view point they're seeking to downplay the issue while providing little useful

I'm not going to say it's false. But I've love to see citations supporting the notion that technological progress has slowed since the 1970s. Looking around me I see some evidence: CCD Cameras: https://en.wikipedia

Average used car price in 2015 (US) was $16,800 [1]. So, I agree it will probably take a while for most people to be able to buy a (used) Tesla. [1] http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2015/02/1

Is this really the experience of voice recognition people have? I can't get Siri to reliably create appointments... takes about 3 tries for the voice recognition to work correctly.

Interesting, and it sucks because this kind of feels like selective application of a law. Google probably violates this all the time with automated crawling (I've no doubt that there are sites without robots.txt, but with a written ToS

Yes, but sometimes regulators mandate that firmware can't be changed by the user for example. So, while perhaps not better, I can see that it's a different situation that the Intel ME.

By "radio OS" I assume you mean the baseband controller firmware? It would be nice if it was open source, but it's a bit more understandable than the Intel ME. The baseband firmware often has regulatory requirements the rest

Title is basically click bait, and reasonably insulting. The laptop is "bad" by some metrics (build quality/speed) and better by others (open hardware/software/hackability).

If you buy the MacBook I recommend you try the keyboard first. I find it absolutely awful to type on. The specs are also pretty poor. I'd opt for a Macbook Air perhaps?

I think it's possible that other students had a different experience to me. I think it's possible that other students would have been much worse off without going to school. I'd like to see more data, to better understand the

I think I wasn't clear on my meaning of "civil liberties". My meaning was this you can argue the following: That home schooling is a kind of basic human right. That there are some rights that a parent has to determine how the

Thanks, looking over the references myself I'd tend to agree. The Widener Law Review paper itself looks pretty biased. I'd like to find a more recent, less biased review if anyone knows of one.

Sorry, I should have said "could you provide data which shows your believe is valid/would make the world better?" Stating "I believe X" without any basis in reality doesn't seem like a useful contribution to an

by new299 10y ago
With respect, the problem is that you are both using gut reactions and anecdotal personal experience in order to determine the correct government policy. You could approach it from a civil liberties angle. But if you're really interest

I wish Apple would extend the mac randomization for probe packets to normal operation (as an optional setting).

Yep, if I've nothing to do I just keep them talking. In my experience they almost never give up. I think they're told to keep talking until you hang up. I've had them talking for about 30mins after I've called them out o

It's fine, they've had enough time to replace you. However, why not offer to consult on any production issues that they have (at a reasonable hourly rate). As long as it's done in your own time, and it doesn't violate an

I like to bite into the crisp cold flesh of the Apple with my incisors and proceed to consume the apple, core, stem and all. I now understand my world view was rather narrow in this regard. A whole spectrum of equally valid methods for appl

Sorry, I didn't know that. I guess that's a thing that happens. Unfortunately, my world view doesn't include, or understand, pre-cut apples.
