ght have been safe. Like infectious diseases, the danger of Frankenstein's monster is "out there," in public rather than in private. By contrast, the promise and the peril of Enbrel is also within. We need Enbrel precisely because chronic degenerative diseases can make our own bodies unsafe for themselves on the inside. But yet, taking this drug, made Frankenstein-style out of living things, makes those bodies susceptible to the long-forgotten infectious diseases of the outside world. If Enbrel is our monster, killing or exiling it offers no solu

on where you will definitely lose, but the game isn't technically over yet. This is a bad feature that we'd like to remove. It happens in Dominion when there aren't enough 6 VP cards left for you to buy to win, so even if you get the last one or two, another player is so far ahead that he will win. This is futile and a waste of your time. It's actually kind of a trick to make a game with no player elimination, but to have you functionally eliminated, yet forced to keep playing. Actually, being eliminated is preferable in that situation. Further, being in a lame duck situation encourages another deadly game design buzzword: kingmaker.

act, we actually did consider showing it at E3 this year but we were worried that if we showed the new Wii U Zelda game then that would attract all of the focus, and really what we want people to be aware of and pay attention to here at E3 are the playable games like Pikmin 3 that we have coming in the immediate future, because a lot of fun is with the games that are coming out this year. So that's why we decided not to show it this year at E3, but it's certainly something people can look forward to.

Of course, as I'm sure you're aware E3 us

few weeks, but I realized I wasn’t craving physical escape. I didn’t actually want to be alone. I just wanted to be mentally free of obligations, most of which asserted themselves in some digital fashion. I decided to stay still, find an Airbnb residence right in Brooklyn (technically homeless, remember?), and step back from digital interaction. Yes, me.

A hacker is somebody who has read-write-execute permissions on the universe. Within this mindset there is no right and wrong - such moral judgements are separate from hacker culture, and although hackers might argue heavily about what is right and wrong, they will all agree that tinkering is a good idea. A side effect of this is an incredibly liberal attitude towards almost everything. Once you recognize moral relativism for what it is, then we can move forward to do more int

I don't have to listen to your phone calls to know what you're doing. If I know every single phone call you made, I'm able to determine every single person you talked to. I can get a pattern about your life that is very, very intrusive. . . . If it's true that 200 million Americans' phone calls were monitored - in terms of not listening to

rnment would only be able to ask Google for information on users who have consented to the searches. On the other hand, technical workarounds might render this sort of user-consent mandate irrelevant. And efforts to preserve user anonymity based on demanding consent generally don't work. People usually end up clicking "yes" at some point for something, meaning any privacy guarantees become purely theoretical and functionally irrelevant. The European Union's requirement that websites ask for specific consent before accepting cookies, for example, is a ridiculous time-waster that has accomplished little more tha

So what does this tell us? There’s no clear winner here (although there is a clear loser). Although the various languages differ widely in the individual aspects, overall they tend to balance out.

Then using the familiarity of other javascript libraries like jQuery you can interact with all of the above setting up the scene, responding to events and so on before firing off the scene to be rendered.

With the HipHop Virtual Machine, Facebook can run PHP at speeds most developers never thought possible. But some still wonder why the company would go to such extremes. Longtime developer and programming pundit David Pollack doesn’t buy the notion that PHP helps Facebook iterate at a faster clip.

there’s this unfortunate idea of “sex positivity” i encounter all the time that essentially just shames people for not having enough sex and pressures them into doing it more. making masturbation into a universal competition is going to achieve only that: people are going to get pressured into using their bodies in the ways that are arbitrarily defined as normative.

When I was a kid, I remember a guy named Daniel Ellsberg leaking some classified documents to the New York Times about the Vietnam War called “the Pentagon Papers.” When the whistleblower finally stood trial for espionage, my parents weren’t quite sure how to feel. But when Richard Nixon’s crew was revealed to have been conducting illegal wiretaps in an effort to discredit the former intelligence contractor, well, they were outraged and decided Ellsberg was a hero. So did the judge and most of America.

@zeigor Ah, he’s talking about Centaur Chess:

Lang verhaal kort: ik vond de lessen en de gedachte erachter geweldig, maar de overgang was zo groot dat ik er licht schizofreen van werd. Alsof je Pieter van den Hoogenband in een zwembad legt en hem vraagt zich over te geven aan de structuur van het water. Mijn respect voor de lerares, die mij met haar voet naast haar linkeroor liefdevol uitzwaaide, was er niet minder om, maar deze afkickmethode was iets te rigoureus.
