Well then, it's quite simple, but then local law overrules Apple law. And Apple is nice enough to let you know this.

You can get Lightworks for Linux. It's free, but with limited output options. If you want more, you pay, but it's reasonable. But it's not an easy interface in my experience.

> We don't know the NSA is doing this. There's no evidence whatsoever beyond conspiracy theory stuff.

We don't know the NSA is not doing this. There is ample evidence that they do a lot more than we conspired about.

It's incredible that 61 airlines flew over that area during those days. That day alone, 160 airplanes flew over East Ukraine before MH17 was hit. Even if it's safe to fly at 10k height, what happens if you have problems with your plane, like a failing engine? Next time I fly I'm going to check over which countries we fly.

> It seems unsuitable for coordinating mass protests to me, because it's a single point of failure. In many countries, the government controls all Internet access, so blocking Twitter would be relatively easy. Sure, people can use Tor, but will enough people have it when Twitter gets blocked?

No, you can set up endless blogs (using Wordpress or Joomla or any other CMS with Twitter plugins), and include a twitter stream in it. You can post to twitter by email or using similar plugins.

A government cannot block all those sites.

Blocking twitter is not enough to block all content coming from and going to twitter.

I tried to run a Tomcat server on Scaleway, but it simply didn't work, and it was nothing complex, just jspwiki. Too bad, the price was really good.

Clicking that link, I see: 403 Forbidden --- nginx. If that's the service they provide...

The article is from 2014. And Deirdre a "she"! ;-)

Apple is about hardware, not about data. They can more easily move European user accounts to Ireland. It will affect their business less.

It's moderate punishment for abuse of power. And I don't mean here that Google or Faceboo is the abuser here - it's the American government.

That is normal class, not online if I'm correct.

> If you are not familiar with these ideas, we suggest you go to this Machine Learning course and complete sections II, III, IV (up to Logistic Regression) first.

What is the link to that course?

Sorry, haven't RTFA, but what I know is that when people get heavier, the babies they get are biased to more weight. These kids, now adults, have a body that is trained or prepared for more weight, and it won't give up that easily.

I'm 5 kg overweight, and should lose another 10 kg to get the ideal weight. My goal is not to gain any weight, and I've kept it stable for about 10 years. I know when I overeat, and I feel really bad when I gain another kg. If that happens, it takes a week or so to lose it again.

In Holland we have people called Dick de Cock. Anyhow, a cock is actually just a rooster, not?

The DMCA is an American thing. What keeps organisations from testing in Europe or Asia? Or does the DMCA apply in Germany as well?

> I'm far from suggesting that companies should publish their code for everyone to see

This would actually be a good punishment. If you screw up, you could be forced to open source your code. If VW is serious, they could do such a thing. I guess that Mercedes wants to keep its Formula 1 code closed, but for it's normal cars it is a different case. The big car companies share so many of their technologies and even complete cars, what's keeping them?

> I wonder if 4chan might start turning back to a 2ch/2chan-ish style with this.

Do you think they will change all images to ASCII art as well?

We are not talking Porsche here, but VAG, so Audi, Skoda, Seat and VW as well. That means that this technology will soon find its way into their cheaper brands. Porsche means high marketing value. VW means high market value.

So luggage handlers can open my suitcase, put in some drugs, and at the other end I can get caught for having drugs in my luggage?

They should setup a service where you checkin your luggage, they check it for drugs or illegal stuff, they seal it, and at arrival you get your suitcase with the guarantee that it had no drugs at checkin.

If you as a liar are good at detecting liars, then wouldn't it be logical that you could detect honesty as well, being the opposite?

Well then take the opposite. What about honest people, do they recognize honest people better? I don't know, just asking, wondering. It could even be that honest people recognize honesty better than liars, while at the same time liars are better lie detectors.

Then there has to be a middle group I guess - what are they?

You say you sleep decently. Do you really get enough sleep? Recently I've had the chance to work from home for a longer period - more than a month - and during that time slept longer and better and it made me realise that I really was tired, seriously tired. That's me of course, not you.

If work is boring, and different kind of jobs don't help, find something besides work: go running, go dancing, go do a theatre course, singing. I tried all kind of things and am open to try anything that seems interesting. I dance a lot, weekly, and it made my life a lot better. I don't say dancing is for you, but whatever you do, it should be fun, something to look forward to.

Maybe singing, dancing and theatre don't appeal to you. It didn't appeal to me, I thought I couldn't do that, that it was difficult. I'm a typical introvert, not artistic or creative, prefer to stay in the background, but all these things were a lot more fun than I ever had thought and I discovered a whole new life.

Don't try them all at once, start with one, give it a good chance, and don't give up if the first course isn't what you hoped for. Try another teacher or school, a different group. All these things come in many varieties and it can be a challenge to find what works for you. Each experience brings you closer to what you want, teaches you something. If you're afraid about something, that is especially interesting.

This didn't make my work better, but it made my life better. And it opens perspectives to new areas, possibly for work. Not that I want to be a dance teacher, but having a new look on life can change work as well.

This is exactly what I mean. Burning is not good, never. It damages the skin and that can cause cancer. Getting 1 MED of sun / UVB a week is however OK it seems.

What 1 MED is for you depends on where you live, what time of the year it is, and what skintype you have. If you take a sunbath of one hour in New York in July, and the next day your skin if mildly rose but not burnt, than 1 MED = 1 hour of sun for you, under those circumstances. Then you can divide that into two or three parts spread out over the week. So for 1 hour, you can sit in the sun for 20 minutes three times a week. That will give you enough vitamin D without causing nonmelanoma skin cancer.

In Mexico the sun is brighter, so that would shorten your 1 MED period. In november in NY the sun is less bright, so that would make it longer and probably even harmless.

See my updated comment. I don't have the time to give more links, but you can do that yourself.

See my updated comment!

(e) You may not know that ... cancer prevalence depends heavily on vitamin D levels. People living around the equator have a 40-60% lesser chance of getting cancer than people living in the US, Canada or Europe. This is even true for people living in Florida. We don't get enough UV-B from the sun, not like centuries ago when we didn't have to work indoors and didn't use sunscreen. People with dark or darker skin have an even bigger risk.

The risk of getting nonmelanoma skin cancer from UV-B is relatively low, and it's easy to treat. Melanoma skin cancer is dangerous, but not related to sun exposure. Taking vitamin D using pills or getting enough sun exposure (without sunscreen) without getting burnt may be the cheapest and most easy way to reduce cancer risk.

Below some links, these about breast cancer. AFAIK these numbers are similar for other cancers like liver, lung, colon, etc.

>> I'm not sure who makes me more cranky: Apple for apparently sitting on the fix, or Stefan Esser for flinging the vulnerability into the breeze for anyone to catch.

> One party makes billions off their users, and will most likely continue their practice of not supporting 3 year old systems even if they are still in wide use for the next time. This should pretty much clear up who is worse.

I don't agree. I have a six year old Macbook. In those six years I've updated to a new OS about three or four times. One time it has cost me 20 euros, the others were free. Not only that, but updating is a breeze, it's painless and never was a problem. I never had to do a complete reinstall. My mother could have done this. It's clicking a few buttons and that's it.

On top of that, there is no serious degradation in speed. They claim it's even faster, but that probably isn't true for the older hardware. So even if they don't support their three year old OS, you can update your six year old system to the most current one without problem. They could have served these updates as minor ones, but that wouldn't be fun, nothing to show, no new names, no big shows.

Now tell me - what is it that they don't support?

> The real money in electronics is in accessories. People will pay $25 for a Raspberry Pi and fret each additional dollar, then turn around and pay $20 for a injection molded case for it.

This may be true, but then you should make sure they buy them at your store. I've bought a Raspberry Pi, but case and sd-card were from a different brand. They didn't even have an official case back then. So how does this work? Or do they get a commission for every case? I bet not.

> French search in French, Germans in German, Danes in Danish, Spaniards in Spanish, Italians in Italian, Dutch in Dutch etc. Then, if your local language doesn't give you good results, you default to English.

So how is this different from the current situation with Google dominating the market? Google works in French, German, Dutch, Spanish etc! You only need one company in based one country and they can work in all languages. And if they grow big, they setup offices in different countries, for country specific or language specific searching.

But Don't Shoot the Dog! ;-)

This is actually a very fun read about conditioning - no matter if you have a cat or dog. I've read it quite a while ago, and I remember that conditioning cats is not that difficult, as long as you stick to positive rewards. Punishment doesn't work.

For those who think this will be abused for manupilating people - that's what we do all day no matter if we read this book or not. It's just the way you do it, and that probably won't change by reading this book. It will teach you a lot about your own behavior.

Very good tip! I'm going to try it!
