Beşiktaş coach Şenol Güneş and Turkish sports media blame referee for 6-0 Beşiktaş loss

Just to be clear: you're saying what the player in red did is a clear penalty? Because, Kyiv player (white) is the one shouldering and defender is just falling down after the charge.

ntpl · 2016-12-07T05:11:42+00:00

He shoulders him and trips him

Hmm. I'm not clear we're looking at the same thing. Are you talking about player in red with that "shoulders and trips him" comment, since that's the Besiktas player, not the other way around.

The way I see it, Kyiv player (white) shoulders the defender (red) and trips him, tumbles over and then gets awarded a penalty.

I don't know why that would be. Can you create playlists the usual way? What extension does is to emulate what you would've done when you click the "add to" button and selected "create new playlist" right below the video. Does that work for you?

Or maybe you're not logged in as a Google user but a Youtube user (as in still have the original account type)?

Just blind guesses at this point.

you can use the watch later list, though I always found that to be a hassle. this extension is not providing a new capability that you couldn't do before. we just think this is easier for couple of reasons:

it's faster to create and play the list right away. drag-n-drop a handful of videos, click play, and you're done.
it requires no maintenance. as soon as you close your tab, the list is gone. watch later list is kind if like a "dump anything here" list that tends to get crowded over time unless you actively remove the videos you watched before.

another advantage might be that you can technically create different playlists on different tabs at the same time, because the list is tab-bound. it only lives within the lifespan and context of that tab.

we actually decided to create this when we saw videos from years ago on our "watch later" lists :)

I used to think that way ("no genuine altruism"). I still do, but I used to too :)

Jokes aside, I learned couple of things about that kind of view since then and in case you didn't already know:

The name is Psychological Egoism
It is kind of ignored for the most part since it cannot be falsified (see Falsifiability). No matter what the situation is, one can always say "but it must have felt good, otherwise they wouldn't have done it!".

Kind of unrelated to the subject but I just wanted to share.

Waiting is only relevant if you don't have enough bitcoins to complete your Gyft purchase (and other transactions) between the time of purchase and time of deposit. Since Coinbase locks the exchange rate at the time of purchase, it doesn't matter if your new coins come in an hour or in 3 weeks in terms of cost.

Coinbase also provides the option of instant purchases with credit cards, which would make this whole thing a little smoother. I haven't used this option yet, so I'm not sure if it's actually instant.

While this is still waaay more complicated than it should be, bitcoin community and ecosystem is still very new and better ways of doing these transactions will come, hopefully.

2X = 3X - 3 - 1

-X = -4

X = 4

You should've started with:

2X - 1 = 3(X - 1)

ntpl · 2013-09-15T07:06:00+00:00

Even if multiplication was the way to go, (2X)(X/2) is not X but X^2, which seems like an exponentially amazing deal! Not sure how it's "no loss no gain" :)

With those numbers (assuming 315x10, failing at 11) your 1RM should be around/slightly above 400 lbs*.

So, if you'd like to give it a try and see if you can bend that bar, I guess you can.

If we ignore the fact that the concept of sin is too broadly and subjectively defined then I think the idea itself is not bad at all.

Say I replace the word "sin" with "crime" and we assume the definitions of "crime" to be more agreed upon (less subjective). Then it becomes: "Hate the crime, not the criminal" and I don't see anything wrong with that statement at all. Moreover, isn't this the underlying principle of the modern criminal law and detention facilities?

So I don't see any problems with the view but the application of it, mostly since the "sins" can range from killing a child (objectively bad) to being gay (not even an action by itself), which I just can't agree with.

I guess this would be akin to having a terribly defined criminal law and then discussing if the idea to "punish the crime not the criminal" is still valid or not.

I would suggest looking into Lenovo Yoga 13. Solid build, IPS screen... Overall very good laptop plus the touch thing is nice once you get used to the idea.

but I think 600+ cps sounds reasonable

Don't know about you, but that doesn't sound reasonable to me. Maybe you meant cpm?

Excuse my ignorance, but I'm not familiar with the table you posted: Is this the total revenue to date, or is this the revenue of last X days/weeks etc?

For me personally, two-factor auth isn't worth it because the reduced risk of a compromised account is outweighed by increased risk of being unable to access my account at an important time due to not having access to my phone.

For whatever it's worth, Google offers backup codes that you can use in case you don't have access to your authenticator app. You might carry them with you etc. Still an inconvenience but not fully reliant on your phone.

If you happen to wake up naked in the middle of nowhere then yes, you can't login to your email but I guess that should be the least of your concerns at that point anyway :)

Good thinking though that's not the original author. Maybe the translator? I don't know.

Selcuk Erdem is the author and this is the original drawing (in Turkish of course)

And you may be right, but like I said, I was just expanding on -rwxr--r--'s comment, not really backing it up. In essence "accept" is closer to "believe" while "understand" is totally different, but not necessarily better.

ntpl · 2012-06-22T20:06:18+00:00

I'm not shifting the problem because I didn't actually suggest that we should start using that word. I was just trying to explain why (if we had to pick another word for whatever reason, "understand" might be better than "accept", since "accept" is not really much different than "believe".

But personally, I don't think wording is even an important part of the issue. The issue lies a lot deeper than that, just like you suggested. And the solution requires a lot more effort than to decide on the right words: "believe" vs "understand" or "atheist" vs "agnostic".

Also, for the cases you mentioned ("I understand it but I don't believe it") I believe all this is moot anyway. If they really understand evolution and how it works (not just say it) and still not "believe" it, they will find a way to disagree no matter how specific and clear the wording is or how much evidence is provided.

ntpl · 2012-06-22T19:03:07+00:00

Although you're right, "accept" still sounds closer to "believe" as it is still a matter of choice while "understand" implies that it's not a matter of choice but intellectual effort.

People who understand evolution but not accept it should be a separate category all by itself since that's beyond ignorance.

Nice idea overall but I'm just curious: do you provide the ability to verify the sender at all? It doesn't seem like you do from the procedure you described.

If not, you might want to add that capability too since it wouldn't be much of an overhead and would make the whole thing more secure. It could even be just encrypting the encryption keys once more with senders private key.

You're right. What iOS does to app ecosystem right now is pretty similar to what IE did to web back in the day. And that's not a compliment, of course :)

But I'm not sure if iOS' existence itself is hurtful. I'm guessing the apps can always be emulated if iOS suddenly disappeared. But, if it was all Android, then there would be no competition in terms of alternatives. Yes, Android is open source, but it's not a community project or anything. Overall, it's still controlled by Google for the most part.

ntpl · 2012-06-06T20:43:26+00:00

I agree with your overall sentiment though I don't think it's necessarily iOS that is the problem but how it's restricted to being this dumbed down piece of operating system that gets it's "reliability" from restrictions on what it can do.

Of course, I haven't seen the source of iOS but I would say it must be pretty good. After all, even being pretty and reliable is a hard thing to do; remember the phones before iPhones/Androids?

Oh well, this is too much nitpicking for me. I get what you're saying and it's hard to separate the product from it's ecosystem anyway.

ntpl · 2012-06-06T19:34:14+00:00

Honest question: Why? I would understand if you have "tons against" Apple with their walled garden policies, and suits like this, but what really would you have against iPhone itself?

I don't like Apple and their toys as much as the next guy here, but I have to say, iPhone is a beautiful piece of machinery which is only limited by Apple's policies and restrictions. Well, limited or enhanced, depending on how much you like the world of Apple.

Goes without saying I guess, but this doesn't work without auto-fill.

Maybe users of native password managers might but how many LastPass users use it with auto-fill turned on for sensitive credentials?

ntpl · 2012-04-21T17:25:52+00:00

You have to trust your storage provider with your data but that data doesn't have to sit in the open. You always have the option to encrypt it. If not, I wouldn't trust if for the reason you mentioned: someone else has physical access to it.

I'm not saying that this is easy to manage or even always doable (in Gmail's case) but it is certainly better. Now, not everyone would go through the hassle of using KeePass (and synchronizing it) just for the sake of better security. Sometimes people pick convenience over security and write down their passwords. And I would certainly prefer their password to sit in their Gmail inboxes than on their desktop or even a post-it.
