Go do theatersport or "impro". It may sound scary, but when in a small group without spectators, you start easy, make small steps, and it helps you get out of your shell. One of the mottos is "to fail with pleasure". You will fail here, and they design games where everybody will fail. You will practise rejection here. Plus you can practise social status with status games.

I had stage fright. In several weeks I'll do my second public show, for a small audience. It can really turn your view of yourself around.

You can read books about it, but you have to do it, experience it. It's much less frightening when you do it then you think, because of the small steps. But you need a good teacher here, one that knows what he does and has done it for years. In general, it's really fun!

> Faster and more reliable: no more VirtualBox!

I'm a Docker n00b, still don't know what it can do exactly. Can Docker replace Virtualbox? I guess only for Linux apps, and suppose it won't provide a GUI, won't run Windows to use Photoshop?!

Neighborhoods like Molenbeek are notorious, similar to banlieus in Paris and Lyon. They lost control over it, don't know what happens there. This is happening in all big cities, but it seems this is much worse here.

Belgium has big problems between the Flemish and French speaking parts, and particularly in Brussels it's politically very complicated. For some city wide measures, they need like 26 police commanders to agree. I don't know the numbers, but it's very complex to get all people in line. And I'm not talking about the people in the street, this is about city councils, police departments etc.

Brussels itself resembles the EU in this respect.

> - How come this happens again without anyone having seen it coming?

Knowing how Belgium handles their minorities in Brussels, it's not a big surprise.

The fact that this happens now is neither a surprise. Salah Abdeslam has been caught, and there were messages that he wanted to cooperate with the Belgium police. Whether it's true or not, if they were planning something, and he knew about it, waiting was not a real option.

I use my own wiki for everything I want to remember, and have used it as a GTD method. But in the end I moved away for GTD stuff. I used Chandler, and really liked it, but then it was abandoned. Then I used Quickfox Notes in Firefox to make a simple plaintext todo list. That works OK til now. Lately I've been using Evernote more and more, and now I mix them all more or less.

I've tried Emacs, tried the Eclipse todo, but neither caught on with me. I hear great things about Emacs and about Vim, and although I use Vim a lot to edit files on the server, I keep having difficulties changing to either of them for development. Maybe it's a matter of time.

I've tried the C1 to run JSPWiki on Tomcat, but it didn't work. I guess too little RAM. I'm sorry to see that there is nothing inbetween a C1 and a C2.

> Maybe they're just another empire, and not so evil.

They are just another empire. Enter the new world! This is the smartphone and cloud era!

>> The glitch had been reported by drivers of new Volvos who said the engine could cut out without warning, creating a brief absence of steering and braking.

Created by Volvo - who wants to be death proof by 2020...

Great to see that China requested Apple to prove that the US government could not snoop data on their iPhones, while at the same time the US government is scared that China gets encryption keys.

This sums it all up!

It's not only the recent fight, but the way they implemented it in iPhone 6, with the Secure Enclave. The fact that they created something that is so secure that they cannot hack it themselves blew my mind.

Can somebody explain what this means? I'm still confused. Firmware lockdown, does it mean I can't install dd-wrt or something? Any other consequenses?

Thanks for this explanation. Does Android have anything like this?

Just one. I'm always very careful with it. The cable was still intact. One of the common problems many people have is with breaking cable, especially at the end of the adapter. I always make sure it has enough space.

If I were Leica and I could sell my camera as accessory in a fashion mall, why not? This tells me more about the people shopping there, than about Leica. It's probably not Leica positioning themselves there, but some smart business people seeing good margins.

> Leica reminds me of Apple, it's all about status and perceived value.

For me Apple stands for high quality products that really work. Just recently I sold a 7 year old Macbook for 250 euro. Back then it was the cheapest aluminium Macbook for about 1200 euro. The aluminium body was as new. I don't know any other laptop that looks like new after seven years of heavy use. Let alone that you can get 20% of the value back.

Take a look at the built quality: the body, keyboard, touchpad, power connector - this is design that works. It works for me at least, and I can't imagine that all these people I see nowadays with their really expensive laptops and iphones, that they still buy if for status.

Take my iPods. The first one, first generation touch, is still working as music player. The second broke after five years of living in my jeans with heat and cold, sweat and rain. I've used my first Mac, a G4 desktop, for 9 years.

All these were relatively expensive products, but totally worth the money.

I guess in this particular case, journalism, the reporter cannot work on any article or subject anymore. Almost all old cases and even related cases are probably covered by the old employer's magazines etc.

If you're a programmer, it means that you cannot work for a certain client, or even in a certain branch, but this case is so much broader.

How about life without oxygen? I always wonder why alien life or any other life cannot happen without it.

You don't need the app for that. Just open FB in your browser from time to time. You will see all you need to keep in touch.

So you want us to share our results? Then make it easy. Make a step by step guide. Include commands or scripts that we can execute. Show us what to upload where.

Take a common case scenario like with Ubuntu 14.04. Make screenshots of every step or copy every command you use in the terminal. Then you might get response.

I'm still appalled by the fact that Sweden, which seems to be one of the best countries to live in, cannot handle this situation better.

Maybe you need to turn it around and change the fingerprint every minute? Would that help?

I like your idea, but wouldn't it be easier to create a constantly changing unique fingerprint?

Sending people to Mars, and then what?

Will it be a "simple" round trip? The real problem is what to when you're there. Is there a base station? I don't see that happen before 2025. Maybe on the moon, but not on Mars. Maybe a return trip to Mars by 2025 or 2030, but not staying there.

An interesting read is Why Zebras don't get Ulcers by Sapolsky. It's a book about stress. Eating, fat, insulin and weight are an interesting part of it, and their relation to stress and health in general.

Clicking outside the image should close it. That's pretty standard nowadays.

The research examines how long alleged conspiracies could "survive" before being revealed - deliberately or unwittingly - to the public at large.

Dr David Grimes, from Oxford University, devised an equation to express this, and then applied it to four famous collusions.

The equation developed by Dr Grimes, a post-doctoral physicist at Oxford, relied upon three factors: the number of conspirators involved, the amount of time that has passed, and the intrinsic probability of a conspiracy failing.

He then applied his equation to four famous conspiracy theories: The belief that the Moon landing was faked, the belief that climate change is a fraud, the belief that vaccines cause autism, and the belief that pharmaceutical companies have suppressed a cure for cancer.

Dr Grimes's analysis suggests that if these four conspiracies were real, most are very likely to have been revealed as such by now.

And you can (should) probably set up a cron job to do that every 2 months!

What I understand is that URL is encrypted, including path and parameters in URL and in POST requests. However, the IP address is public, and it's probably quite easy to link an IP address to a website.

There are several websites that offer this service: search an IP and get a list of all known websites that use that IP.

A link to an article from an authority in this field, that really explains this, would be really welcome!!!

So that may account for the 3000 things. Add another 3000 for the things you don't collect, and double that, and you're still not close to 300k.

We had our AWS account hijacked three years ago. Someone had taken over our admin email by hijacking the DNS. They had hacked into our DNS account (with another provider) and changed the MX for our domain. Then they contacted customer support and convinced them to disable two factor authentication. Then they started to play with our account, starting and stopping servers.

Taking back the DNS took time. Meanwhile the hijackers were logged in, and could not be logged out by Amazon. This took more than a day. It took us two full days to get all back to normal.

The good thing is that they could not login to our servers. What they wanted is still not clear, and who did this - we saw some suspicious traffic from Russia, but that's all.
