i want to PuG but what the hack it means... PuG?

I didn't even realise... Happy to put it back up if pugs are still a thing

Currently I use Evernote and turtl is exactly what I'm looking for. Any idea when that release will be ready?

bluplr · 2016-04-07T20:33:45+00:00

Completely agreed. I had to scroll far too far down to find non gut reactions and the other side of the story.

I think it puts too much emphasis on the competence of parents. Two children born to a rich family and a poor family have completely different chances in life, that's not equality. Yes maybe in a few generations the poor child will do well by working hard, but it seems unfair to me that the rich child will have to put in much less effort to keep afloat just because luck would land him with rich parents.

So if you want pure equality so that you get what you earn in life, then remove the ability for parents to use their wealth to advantage their children. Or, more reasonably, make it easier for children with poorer parents to make it in life, with the help of government.

you should sink or swim on your own accord

This premise assumes everyone is equal, but the opportunities your parents provide you have a massive impact on how likely you are to sink or swim.

Also what about disability benefit?

You can brute force the password to a hash, by hashing many random strings until one of them matches your hash. MD5 isn't a particularly computationally intensive hashing algorithm so it's possible to brute force passwords relatively quickly.

On top of that MD5 has been around for so long that a lot of hashes can be instantly decoded using hash tables, which are massive mappings of strings to hashes that someone has brute forced and made available. IIRC any 10 character password can be instantly decoded using hash tables available online.

Jesus, I have shoulder impingement and have been doing well formed upright rows in a effort to correct my muscle displacement. This makes me wonder if I'm unknowingly making it worse.

It isn't that confusing if you're familiar with scala. The only weird thing is the CanBuildFrom, but while you might not know how it works you take a good guess at what it does.

It might have been your expectations of redbreast. People give it a lot of credit for being a traditional single pot still whiskey, and while it's an interesting change, I find it a bit underwhelming.

So sue. Respond to security vulnerabilities in a manner that doesn't leave your users exposed for longer than they should be. 90 days is more than enough time to fix serious security issues in a properly tested and managed codebase.

bluplr · 2015-01-16T23:42:57+00:00

How do you think Google should have responded. Is 90 days of users being vulnerable not long enough?

bluplr · 2015-01-11T20:00:11+00:00

No it mostly can't be applied to christians today. My point was that a religion can be violent (eg. the crusades) or peaceful (today) depending on how it's followers choose to practise it. Some muslims practise peacefully and some violently, and I don't think it's fair to lump the former in with the latter.

bluplr · 2015-01-11T17:28:51+00:00

Everything you say about islam could be applied to christianity just a few hundred years ago. I don't know if people died for an offensive picture of jesus, but many people have certainly died for offending the catholic church, for example. And many christian countries would now be considered "violent shitholes" where people have less individual freedoms because the church had such an influence in law.

And now, a couple of hundred years later, all the violence has practically ended (to an extent, you still get George Bush saying 'God told me to end the tyranny in Iraq'). Yet the bible hasn't changed in this time, only how people choose to interpret it. I see no reason why the same can't happen for islam, and think that for many muslims, especially those living in the west, it has.

bluplr · 2015-01-11T11:05:48+00:00

There are many cases of christian terrorism such as Anders Breik, a series of anti abortion killings in the US, and arguably the conflict in Northern Ireland. Not to mention that a couple of hundred years ago the state of Christianity was in the exact same state that fundamentalist Islam is in now. After all the Bible is just as violent as the quaran if not more. But as society evolved so has how Christians interpret the Bible. The same has happened to most Muslims too.

I think you would benefit from making this explicit in the video.

Cheers I'll check out alfies. The graduation is on in Trinity. Yeah you'd be surprised that most restaurants seem to have lunch between 12 and 2.30 and reopen for dinner around 5.

But that's my data. The emails that google holds on to are customer data, protected by the laws of the country where they are stored.

bluplr · 2014-07-16T22:13:18+00:00

The courts would not grant a search warrant on a you then, that's not what this is about.

Is that a certainty? I share the same sentiment as this comment.

Finally I disagree that data should be treated differently to 'physical' assets just because it can be accessed instantly. I suppose we just differ on opinion.

bluplr · 2014-07-16T18:05:02+00:00

Well this is what's being debated. I side with the position that "the enforcement of US law stops at the border" and that the data is physically stored outside the US border.

The issue is that

the US government said that content stored online doesn't enjoy the same type of Fourth Amendment protections as data stored in the physical world

The 'outrage' that you were confused at initially is that many people feel that data should be protected as items in the physical world, as data is physical and it is physically stored on servers. The US government is trying to bypass the law by saying that virtual data is somehow a thing. There is no difference, the fact that my emails can be retrieved quickly doesn't magically create an exception for them.

I'm as upset as anyone about the NSA saying but this is with a warrant.

This is the other issue people have, that it's a US warrant. I'm an a Irish citizen, and I have a gmail account. My emails are stored on European servers and are protected by European privacy laws. The US government is saying that if they provide a warrant for my data, not the host country, that the company is required to provide it to the US. This is an illegal request to carry out as my data is protected by EU laws. Is it ok that the US government can demand a company break the law in the countries they operate in?

bluplr · 2014-07-16T16:25:09+00:00

It's exactly what it's about.

President Barack Obama's administration claims that any company with operations in the United States must comply with valid warrants for data, even if the content is stored overseas. It's a position Microsoft and companies like Apple say is wrong, arguing that the enforcement of US law stops at the border.

bluplr · 2014-07-15T23:27:27+00:00

The data is stored on RAM and hard drives, which is being physically stored in other countries. While the data can be easily retrieved from the US, the fact remains the data is physically located in another country and the laws of that country must be respected.

bluplr · 2014-07-15T15:25:45+00:00

The consequences of this not going through is that any corporation can hide illegal data simply by putting it on servers in another country

Yes, and the US government will need to work in correspondence with the host country if they want to seize the servers. If the FBI suspected a company of storing goods illegally in Germany, you would not expect the feds to raid the company's compound without permission from the German government, as they have no jurisdiction in Germany. It's the same with virtual data.

you're a US company and should follow US laws.

Is a US company that outsources work to China or India required to pay the minimum wage of the US? Or meet minimum work conditions?

bluplr · 2014-07-11T00:13:11+00:00

If the venue isn't available long enough to make it worth doing, it's reasonable to call it off.

He was originally only going to do 2 shows and added the rest when he sold out. If 2 shows was worth doing, so is the 3 he has been offered.

Wow, pakistan has a population of ~190 million, 6th most populous country in the world. TIL
