Tech titans: Restrain NSA
WASHINGTON >> Mounting revelations about the extent of NSA surveillance have alarmed technology leaders in recent days, driving a renewed push for significant legislative action from an industry that long tried to stay above the fray in Washington.
After months of merely calling for the government to be more transparent about its surveillance requests, tech leaders have begun demanding substantive new restraints on how the National Security Agency collects and uses the vast quantities of information it scoops up around the globe, much of it from the data streams of U.S. companies.
The pivot marks an aggressive new posture for an industry that often has trod carefully in Washington - devoting more attention to blunting potentially damaging actions than to pushing initiatives that might prove controversial and alienate users from its lucrative services.
Six leading technology companies - Facebook, Google, Apple, Yahoo, Microsoft and AOL - sent a letter to Senate leaders Thursday reflecting the sharpening industry strategy, praising the sponsors of a bill that would end the bulk collection of phone records of millions of Americans and create a privacy advocate to represent civil liberties interests within the secretive court that oversees the NSA.
"Transparency is a critical first step to an informed public debate, but it is clear that more needs to be done," said the letter, which was sent to Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., chairman of the Judiciary Committee and one of the bill's sponsors, as well as three other senators. "Our companies believe that government surveillance practices should also be reformed to include substantial enhancements to privacy protections and appropriate oversight and accountability mechanisms for those programs."
Although historically wary of Washington, the technology industry has been bulking up its political operations in the nation's capital for several years. It took a public stand against the Stop Online Piracy Act, commonly known as SOPA, with a massive Internet protest last year. More recently, tech leaders made a high-profile push in the immigration debate, calling for more visas for foreign-born workers.
The tone of industry reaction to the NSA revelations has grown more aggressive since the first stories appeared in The Washington Post and Britain's Guardian newspaper in June. Companies that initially were focused on defending their reputations gradually began criticizing the government and challenging it in court. Some companies also have worked to harden their networks against infiltration.
A turning point came with Thursday's Washington Post revealing an NSA program that collects massive amounts of user information from Google and Yahoo as it moved among data centers overseas. To some, this amounted to a degree of intrusiveness that, though speculated about by privacy activists, was beyond what many in the industry thought possible.
"Clearly, this is something new and different," said Joseph Lorenzo Hall, the chief technologist at the Center for Democracy and Technology, a Washington-based think tank that receives substantial industry support.
Hall said technology leaders are weary of the revelations. "Right now, it's like, 'Please make it stop!' "
The backlash from the technology industry is particularly striking in light of its once-cozy relationship with President Barack Obama, who got money and votes out of Silicon Valley at historic rates last year.
Although Google's general counsel, David Drummond, issued a statement Thursday expressing "outrage" and "the need for urgent reform," a longtime security engineer for the company better captured the industry's mood in a post on Google Plus, a social networking service.
"Even though we suspected this was happening, it still makes me terribly sad. It makes me sad because I believe in America," wrote engineer Brandon Downey, after cautioning that he was speaking personally and not for Google.
National security officials have rejected criticism of NSA's collection of communications, particularly any suggestion that the agency had scooped up data under presidential authorities to avoid the greater oversight required by under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
"NSA conducts all of its activities in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, and policies - and assertions to the contrary do a grave disservice to the nation, its allies and partners, and the men and women who make up the National Security Agency," said a statement issued late Thursday by the agency.
Speaking at an American Bar Association conference in Washington, NSA General Counsel Rajesh De defended the agency's practices.
"The implication, the insinuation, suggestion or the outright statement that an agency like NSA would use authority under Executive Order 12333 to evade, skirt or go around FISA is simply inaccurate," De said. "There is no scandal about the lawfulness of NSA's activities under current law."
For all the mounting frustration within the tech industry, the path ahead is murky. Most of the surveillance bills getting wide circulation on Capitol Hill would not address NSA collection operations in other countries.
"To reform this is going to require passing a law that regulates NSA's operations overseas, and none of the bills do that now," said Jennifer Granick, director of civil liberties at Stanford Law School's Center for Internet and Society.
There also are unanswered legal questions. Some scholars say that the NSA's collection of data from Google, Yahoo and their users might violate the Fourth Amendment's prohibition on illegal search and seizure, even if it happens in foreign countries.
Some privacy activists said technology companies share at least some of the blame for the extent of the government surveillance program. They collect the detailed user data - much of it used to target the advertising that generates company profits - that NSA covets. The companies also have lobbied against laws that would limit data collection in Europe and elsewhere.
"Their business model ultimately makes state surveillance not only possible but more far-reaching," said Jeffrey Chester, executive director of the Center for Digital Democracy, a Washington-based consumer rights group. "It's not just the NSA and the national security apparatus that's responsible for this."

It really only applies to 360 tours and you do not account for your ammount of overlap.
I've tested a bit with different input ammounts and so far they seem to dictate the scratch/memory needs more precisely than the actual focal lengths.
I do small sections at 900mm and they render in just 26 mins delivering 1.5 Gpix. The actual ammount of input data seems to be transformed to 32bit form first, which has to be held in ram+scratch. Then as the rendeirng progresses data is clipped and later stacked/blended and fed back to the scratch. It appears the clipping actually reduces memory usage again. The blending needs to read data from a LOT of files (or memory blocks if held in mem) pr thread in order to blend, especially when stacking.
I wonder if Kolor can chime in here... It appears that the layers are made before stacking, or that stacking happens together with blending. Would it not be faster to do the stacking individually before blending? Maby not due to the anti-ghost processing?
Anyways, if people can test my "<input image rez> * 4 * <input image count> = scratch" idea by noting how large their scratch gets as warping finishes it would be helpfull.

I did not suggest putting everything on one drive but it is an option, feel free to use it.
However I never understood the idea of having a SSD as your C:\-drive. You computer will problably start up very quickly but after that it seems like an expensive way to store files you not often use.
Having seperate SSD-s for source, temp and even page-files is likely a faster option but we are problably talking about the difference between very fast and very fast.
Adding a SSD to a current system is likely to be an easy and not too expensive way to increase the throughput. I did so with and i7 6 GB system, added a 60 GB SSD and enjoyed it ever since.
UK Pano wrote:........
Does makes sense to have a HDD rather than SSD for the C:\ rather than a shiny new SSD that isn't going to be used as much. So for source, temp and (possibly) page file, look at a couple of separate SSD's as an option, one large covering source and temp and a smaller for page-file / overflow?
Look forward to hearing your (and anyone else's) thoughts

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bambam from Great slow cooker for past 3 years. I bought this slow cooker as a present for my wife 3 years ago. It has been terrific. I bought the ceramic insert model because we don't like the health compromise inherent in the "non-stick" surface chemistry. Also we wanted to be able to wash the insert in the dish washer. (would have bought a stainless steel insert model if it was available, but it is not). This slow cooker has been used regularly for a long time and has performed excellently in every way. Of course, we have not (yet!) broken the ceramic insert. We have also not had any trouble with the electronics. I would highly recommend this slow cooker to anyone who is looking for a disk washer safe insert and who is looking to avoid that chipping non-stick aluminum combo.Date published: 2019-12-26Rated 1 out of 5 by Jillrei from Do not waste your money I bought this product in Sept. 2014 and the electronics have died already. I previously had my Crockpot brand slow cooker for 23 years with no problems. Paying more for an All-Clad product should not be confused with buying a better product — it was simply more expensive. All-Clad's two year warranty is a joke.Date published: 2018-05-23Rated 1 out of 5 by icihb from Do Not Buy The insert is of poor quality and breaks easily. They do not offer replacements.

I do not use the insert to brown on stove as I think this may cause the bubbling that I have read about.Date published: 2017-01-13Rated 3 out of 5 by BarefootContessaFan from Worked Well Until Insert Cracked We received this slow cooker as a wedding gift and loved the look of this slow cooker. Additionally, with the size I could fit a 4 pound pork shoulder perfectly without having it too crowded. However, after only a handful of uses, the insert has completely cracked and I'm unable to find a replacement due to the circle shape and quart size. Additionally, one thing I wish this had was the option to pick an insert that was able to be used on a cooktop for browning. Will unfortunately now have to purchase a different one.Date published: 2017-01-12Rated 5 out of 5 by Newburyport27 from Love this cooker! I love this slow cooker. We have the large cooker but often times it's too big if you are not entertaining or don't have a large family. 4qt is perfect for 2 people without causing waste. I see lots of comments on the insert cracking but they now make one with a cast aluminum insert with non-stick coating...which is the one we got. Out larger cooker has the ceremaic insert and we have owned it for close to 10 years with no issue. Fantastic product!Date published: 2016-11-19Rated 5 out of 5 by WyGarrett from beautiful and functional Love it. Cooks evenly, looks pretty, perfect size. Plan to use it a lot.Date published: 2016-09-28Rated 1 out of 5 by FlirtyChef from Poor Quality After only using this slower cooker less than 6 times, it no longer works. I would not recommend this product especially considering my old ceramic crock pot which cost less than $50 still works years later. This All Clad slow cooker is 13 months old. Very disappointed and I question if I'd ever purchase another All Clad product.Date published: 2016-02-22

When speaking about Frita history this El Rey De Las Fritas location is historically significant. This was 2nd location opened after the flagship store on 8th Street. If you take a close look at the picture above you can actually see the original "El Rey" character to the left of the sign. It was drawn by their founder Benito but better known to you as El Rey de las Fritas. Inside the location is also the original banner used at the 1st location that burned down some years ago.
I've had a Frita at El Rey so many times I can't keep count but I had never tried their Frita a Caballo. So what's a growing boy to do but order it? If you're not familiar with the "a Caballo" phenomenon then you don't know what you're missing. Whenever you're at a Cuban joint in Miami, ask to have your sandwich or steak etc… a Caballo. You'll be treated to a delicious fried egg cooked to your liking on top of your meal. So getting back to my Frita…
You will always hear me talking about how a Frita should not have cheese on it but this is one of those cases where the cheese is necessary. Imagine having the most delicious egg and cheese sandwich on a Cuban roll and sneaking in a perfectly seasoned patty that compliments the sandwich. Well, that's what you have here and if you haven't had this then you haven't really lived.
In addition to their 4 locations around town, you can also find El Rey de las Fritas on their Food Truck at events throughout South Florida.

Fletcher, Vt.- Governor Phil Scott, Ag Secretary Anson Tebbetts and other farm to school partners joined students from Fairfield Center School to celebrate Vermont�s robust presence in farm to school at the Sweet Farm in Fletcher.
Vermont was the first state in the nation to implement a Farm to School Grant Program and the USDA has modeled their program after it. �I can�t emphasize enough how important farm to school is in Vermont. It�s always been a source of pride for our state, and that pride grows as our grant program continues to get stronger,� said Gov. Scott. Surrounded by curious cows and intrigued students, the Governor shared his enthusiasm for Vermont�s highly effective model of farm to school and its unique ability to bring real-life learning to the classroom, while also supporting the economy and student health. With help from the Agency of Education, the Department of Health and other partners, more than 40,000 Vermont students have become more connected to local food, farms and their community through the Farm to School Grant Program. �Through the Agency�s grant program, more than $1M has been invested in 138 Vermont schools. It�s really connecting people to the land, the animals and giving them lifelong skills that are so valuable to all of us,� said Sec. Tebbetts. The visit highlighted the many benefits of the farm to school model:

I used to use Windows, SVN, Tortoise SVN, and Beyond Compare. It was a great combination for doing code reviews.
Now I use OSX and Git. I've managed to kludge together a bash script along with Gitx and DiffMerge to come up with a barely acceptable solution.
I've muddled along with this setup, and similar ones, for over a year. I've also tried using the Github diff viewer and the Gitx diff viewer, so it's not like I've not given them a chance.
There are so many smart people doing great stuff with Git. Why not the side-by-side diff with the option of seeing the entire file? With people who have used both, I've never heard of anyone that likes the single +/- view better, at least for more than a quick check.

Left to right: Brad Wilkinson, M.D.; Kathleen Viereg, M.D.; Craig Czarsty, M.D.; Anne Brewer, M.D.; and Sandra Hughes, M.D., stand outside a church in which they set up a clinic in Pancho Mateo, Dominican Republic.
This structure is an example of a typical rural home in the Dominican Republic.
This man is one of the many Health Horizons International community health volunteers who provide basic care services for their neighbors in the four Dominican Republic villages the organization serves.
Family physician Craig Czarsty, M.D., of Oakville, Conn., embarked on his first medical mission trip to the Dominican Republic in 2005. From then on, he was hooked.
A past president of the Connecticut AFP(ctafp.org) (CAFP), Czarsty continued to go on annual mission trips until the foundation then sponsoring the trips in which he and some of his CAFP colleagues participated pulled out of the Dominican Republic to focus on other mission areas in Central and South America.
- Founded by Connecticut AFP members, Health Horizons International (HHI) is an organization that delivers direct primary care, public health education and research to four rural villages in the Dominican Republic.
- HHI takes a group of physicians and other health professionals on three medical service trips per year.
- In between medical trips, HHI uses a volunteer group of approximately 20 local community health workers, who do basic health assessments and routinely check on residents of the four villages.
"They invited us to come along, but we instead started Health Horizons International(hhidr.org) (HHI) and focused our efforts on four villages in the Dominican Republic," Czarsty said. "We were incorporated in 2009 and were off to the races from there."
HHI Evolves Beyond Simply Delivering Patient Care
Czarsty served as founding chair of HHI, which, at first, made only straightforward medical mission trips. However, with the help of two former Tufts University students who went and lived in the republic for a year to survey what needed to be done, the organization was able to institute positive, systemic change.
"We knew what we wanted to do, and we had to figure out how we were going to do it and where to do it," Czarsty said. "So they came home after a year, and we've been heading in the right direction since then."
HHI, now run by a board that consists of Czarsty and CAFP members Brad Wilkinson, M.D., and Michael Good, M.D., both of Durham, and current CAFP Board member and former chapter president Ayaz Madraswalla, M.D., of Storrs Mansfield, has evolved into a three-armed organization that focuses on delivering direct primary care, public health education and research in four rural villages.
"We run three medical service trips a year (to the Dominican Republic) in January, May and September, usually with five physicians, a medical student or two and several PA (physician assistant) students from Quinnipiac University," said Czarsty. "In between the trips, we have a group of approximately 20 community health workers who volunteer in the four communities in which they live. These volunteers will go around taking blood pressures and blood sugars and checking up on people."
Originally, Czarsty said, the community health workers e-mailed patient results back to the physicians from the last mission trip, but this proved inefficient. So, HHI hired a local Dominican physician to see patients on Monday afternoons. The organization also contracts with three other Dominican physicians for certain specialized tasks.
"The community health workers identify somebody, go through the clinical programs director, and we get these patients an appointment with the doctor we hired," said Czarsty. "That works out very nicely. Two of the other doctors run a class for our community health workers once a month, teaching basic stuff: vital signs, how to take a blood sugar, and a lot of basic first aid, as well as warning signs of simple illness."
With regard to HHI's public health and research arms, Czarsty said he and the organization's other board members quickly learned that positive change is more than just setting up a clinic for a week and "throwing pills at people."
"These folks don't have drinkable water, and people are bathing in and using a very polluted river for cooking and cleaning," Czarsty said. "So, we are working to get water to one village. The Peace Corps has assigned us a volunteer -- a sanitation engineer -- who is going to arrive in April or May and come up with a realistic budget for the project and do all of the engineering work.
"In terms of the third arm, research, we are continually looking into what the health needs of the population are and doing quality improvement research into what we are doing, so we can understand how we can do it better."
Chapter Scholarship Sends Medical Students on Mission Trips
In terms of financial support, Czarsty said CAFP EVP Mark Schuman has been very helpful, recently setting up a CAFP/HHI Global Health Scholarship that is available to fourth-year medical students at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine, Farmington, or Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, who are members of their school's family medicine interest group.
According to Schuman, the CAFP chooses one student each year to go on a medical service trip with HHI, paying as much as $1,000 for expenses. Students either opt for the one-week experience, or, if they can make it work with the medical school, stretch their time in the republic to three or four weeks.
"HHI provided an opportunity for the CAFP to promote to our membership the opportunity to provide primary health care to underserved patients of the Dominican Republic," Schuman said. "The feedback from those members who have participated has been so positive and rewarding.
"We also felt strongly that students interested in family medicine should have the experience of this kind of care. The scholarship allows these students to do something they probably never thought they could do while also receiving a wonderful mentoring experience."
According to Good, reinforcing the organization's pipeline of family physicians is important to its survival.
"Family doctors are uniquely trained to be able to cope with this kind of stripped-down environment -- the other specialties need their gizmos and their referrals and their electricity," he joked.
"In all seriousness, when you go to this environment where you have no technology, it's really just you, the patient and you listening to their story and trying to come up with practical answers given the circumstances," Good said. "Sometimes we have to make decisions and we can't have a CAT scan and we can't have an X-ray and we can't get blood work or send (patients) off to a specialist, because it's just not feasible in these extremely impoverished areas."
A good percentage of the physicians who have gone on the trips have been CAFP members, Czarsty said. "Most of the family docs who have joined us in the Dominican Republic are Connecticut family docs, and Mark is superb about helping us -- sending a blast email out looking for people when we need them. We've never had a trip where we didn't have enough medical personnel -- had to scramble a couple of times, but never a trip without enough people. We've probably had 20 or so CAFP physicians go down there, which, out of a membership of roughly 400, is pretty significant."

Trips Recharge Members' Batteries
Good said the trips are "a blast" and very rejuvenating
"Doctors, in general, are very stressed and burned out these days, and when you go down on one of these medical service trips, it's just you, your patient, their story and your knowledge," Good said. "It really just comes down to the real core of what being a physician is all about.
"The patients know we aren't asking them for any money, and they know we come back every four months," he said. "They really appreciate it, and we get a lot out of it. And when I come back home, it sort of helps me keep perspective on my life as a physician, because sometimes it is hard to find the joy within the stress of American medicine."
Czarsty echoed the sentiment.
"It is back to medicine in the old days, where it's face-to-face with very limited resources in terms of diagnostics," he said. "It actually is a nice way to try and sharpen your clinical skills, because you have to go back to making a diagnosis without CAT scans and echocardiograms.
"Seeing the patients is so satisfying for me, because these are people who have little or no access to medical care, and they are just so incredibly grateful for any little thing you can do for them -- it's amazing. I come back recharged and look forward to the next trip as soon as I get home."

We live in an era in which spectacular movie monsters tend to live on hard drives, so it's always heartening to see footage of practical effect artists just building the damn creatures. This video comes to us from the production of Alien 3 twenty years ago — watch as the film's crew makes sculptor Steve Norrington's dog-like "Bambi Burster" ambulate. And for more cinematic beasts hanging out, see Bolaji Badejo in his xenomorph costume and the Jurassic Park reptiles sans camera rolling.

not give two pins (about something)(redirected from give two pins)
not give two pins (about something)
To not care in the slightest (about something or someone); to attach no importance to someone or something. I don't give two pins about making money, I just want to do something with my life that makes life better for others. I haven't given two pins for the show ever since they killed off my favorite character. Do whatever you want, I don't give two pins.

I guess many people do feel having literal-non-identity is important in RIF. So, let's go for option (1) from [4], i.e., we have literal-non-identity and we have the individual (in)equality operators based on the XPath operators.

PARMA, Ohio -- Two rock stars -- one a former Democratic president, the other a multi-platinum musician -- made an appeal for President Barack Obama to voters in battleground territory in northeast Ohio on Thursday.
Former President Bill Clinton joined forces with Bruce Springsteen for a high-profile appearance on Obama's behalf in the Cleveland area, a key region in a key battleground state that could make-or-break the president's bid for a second term.
Both former President Bill Clinton and Bruce Springsteen were in Parma, Ohio, Thursday to sing the praises of President Obama. NBC's Shawna Thomas reports.
"I've had, I don't know, 20-something jobs before I got elected president. But this is the first time in my life I ever got to be the warm-up act for Bruce Springsteen. I am qualified because I was born in the USA; and unlike one of the candidates for president, I keep all of my money here," Clinton told told the more than 3,000 packed into the gym at Cuyahoga Community College.
An additional 700 crammed into over-flow rooms.
The rally was Springsteen's first stop on the campaign trail this year, but just the latest for Clinton, who's emerged as one of Obama's top advocates, first at September's Democratic National Convention and later at campaign stops throughout the country. Clinton has been to Florida, New Hampshire and Nevada, and will travel tomorrow to Wisconsin.
Springsteen was set to travel to Iowa for a solo rally later in the afternoon.
Both Clinton and Springsteen played up Ohio's Midwestern tradition and the auto industry rescue initiated by Obama in 2009 in their speeches, mindful of the jobs preserved by the bailout of GM and Chrysler. ("I'm thankful GM is still making cars," Springsteen joked. "What else would I write about? I'd have no job!")
During his warm up act, which exceeded 30 minutes, Clinton blasted Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney for a lack of transparency, telling supporters they did not put up with the "hide and seek stuff" of the GOP candidate. His budget, tax returns and details about his economic plan are things the former president said the Republican has been hiding.
"I love Ohio, it's an old school place," Clinton said. "We like our families, we like our communities, we value personal loyalty. When you were down, you were out and when your whole economy was threatened, the president had your back. You gotta have his back now."
Rocker Bruce Springsteen performs for a crowd of Obama supporters in Parma, Ohio.
At one point, in making the case against Romney, Clinton acknowledged that the economy was "not fixed," a comment on which the Republican nominee's campaign quickly pounced.
"We agree with former President Bill Clinton. The economy has not been fixed under President Barack Obama," said Romney spokesman Ryan Williams. "Today, more than 23 million Americans are struggling for work, poverty has increased and food stamps are at record levels. Mitt Romney believes we can do better by creating 12 million new jobs with higher take-home pay, cutting spending to put our nation on course for a balanced budget, and actually fixing our economy."
For his part, Springsteen has a well-established track record of supporting Democrats, and he posted a letter on his website Wednesday evening formally backing Obama.
While campaigning in Parma, Ohio, former president Bill Clinton draws comparisons to his eight years in office to the promise of four more years of Obama in the White House, if re-elected.
"This presidential election is different than the last one because President Obama has a four year record to run on. Last time around, he carried with him a tremendous amount of hope and expectations" he wrote. "Unfortunately, due to the economic chaos the previous administration left him with, and the extraordinary intensity of the opposition, it turned into a really rough ride. But through grit, determination, and focus, the President has been able to do a great many things that many of us deeply support."
In front of the crowd today, Springsteen said, "The future is rarely a tide rushing in. It's a long march, day by day. And Obama feels that in his bones for all 100 percent of us."
In a short acoustic set, Springsteen played some of his more recognizeable hits -- including his steel town dirge, "Youngstown," for the city just a short distance from Thursday's rally -- along with a jokingly-composed campaign song The Boss said he wrote at the president's request.
"Let's vote for the man who got Osama," went one line. Continuing about the second debate: "Smilin' Joe really brought the drama."

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Harvard women's volleyball freshman Caroline Holte has earned her second Ivy League Rookie of the Week award after averaging nearly 2.00 bps and hitting over .500 in a 1-1 week for the Crimson.
Holte opened the weekend with a strong performance against Columbia, recording a career-high eight kills to go with a .615 hitting percentage and five blocks. On Saturday, the Laguna Beach, Calif., native led Harvard to a sweep of Cornell with seven blocks, three kills and a .375 hitting percentage.
Holte averaged 1.57 kps and 1.71 bps for the weekend while hitting .524. She currently ranks fifth in the Ivy League with an average of 1.05 bps and is the only freshman on the list. Holte was also named the Ivy League Rookie of the Week on Oct. 23 after registering a career-high nine blocks and a .455 hitting percentage against Dartmouth.
Harvard will head out on the road for the final weekend of play as it first takes to the court at Yale on Friday, Nov. 9 before traveling to Brown Saturday, Nov. 10.
