Not sure how "democrat" is an option... it's an American political party.

Unless you mean DS: "democratic socialism" - which is still socialism. Look at the Green New Deal where DS wants to go - control of industry "for the people" by massive expansion of government into various industries.

While you may have a point about the article being American focused, the fact remains that the middle class is expanding and the lower/peasant class is shrinking globally - all boats are rising due to "evil capitalism" and that horrible capitalism, despite being the worst idea ever... is still better than the alternatives that have presented. It's global success compared to the global failure of other "better" ideas is self evident at this point.

Socialism is the perfect theory... until it meets reality... and other setups are in the same boat: Better than capitalism until you look at real world results.

Need to fight cronyism? corporatism? Monopolies with reasonable government controls? Sure... I'm not a PURE capitalism person - My thoughts are based on reality where restrictions keep things reasonable (like restrictions on free speech and owning guns).

To me it is almost surprising they still work. Every time Let's Encrypt comes up it seems people are in a rush to have security certificates invalidate within weeks if not days. A server backed app without updates for two months would turn into a brick.
Please consider sharing more when you can. Also please reach out to all the government run programs to get all the help you can. At least that way the taxpayers money is put to good use. And don’t give up.
I disagree. You'll have plenty of time for learning, for thinking about the content of your studies, for the library, for dedicated focus later. You're only young once.

Now I'll agree that getting wasted every weekend is a very bad idea. You will end up dying a painful death very early in your life. But it's a good idea to go to parties. It's a good idea to have fun, to live. Doing what everyone else is doing isn't always the best advice, but sometimes it's the best advice. You have to use your (unimpaired) judgement. I wouldn't have half the friends I have now if I hadn't spent nights puking right beside them. Now as an adult with a professional job, if I want to make new friends, the only way to do that is to have kids and set up playdates. Instead I find myself studying, reading books on the couch next to my wife. When you get older, you lose your ability to party like a college kid. You lose the opportunity to have that kind of bonding experience with your peers.

Young people drinking is a serious issue. You're right, it's harmful to brain development, it gets people in all kinds of trouble, and it can be seriously deadly to the drinker or to someone else they might meet while drunk. That's what makes this really hard to write, because to be honest, I'm not a drinker now but I was in college. And I attribute everything I have to the nights I spent not in front of the books, but in front of the crowd, dancing with a lampshade on my head.

So don't drink. You don't have to. Don't do drugs. Don't put yourself or others at risk like that. But seriously, if you're in college DO SOMETHING SOCIAL. Don't, DON'T sit in the library while your youth passes you by. Sit in the library Monday-Thursday. When Friday rolls around, go hang out with your friends. Because trying to make college-style friends as an adult is 100% impossible.
It's convenient because you can kill off all of the "entitlements" programs at the same time. Drop SNAP, unemployment, disability, drop social security, medicaid, drop everything, and cut a check. This materializes in substantial administrative cost reductions.

It's an efficiency.

You can claw back from folks who don't need it at tax time.
Sure!

As companies see the benefits on their balance sheet, remote work will indeed be more prevalent. It will be curious to see the impact on commercial real estate and the spillover impact on banks
yep. It's very important UBI be given to everyone regardless of status/income otherwise it's not a valid economic experiment. This is just welfare with more money.
I seriously raised an eyebrow at this followed by a chuckle, I had to check and confirm, and although I disagree (with it being sexually suggestive) I will keep it (just in case someone else can have a chuckle)
Mir is still going as one of the better Wayland compositors out there.

Unity didn't fail: ongoing development on it was cancelled because there was no way to successfully monetize it. It was, and remains, one of the most successful desktops out there.
Yes, that's the viewpoint. That viewpoint is also incredibly racist. A phrase like "want someone of their own kind" is something I expect to hear from a KKK member.

My "own kind" includes people of all races, religions, genders, and ethnicities. If you separate people based on their race, don't trust people based on their race, etc, you're a racist.
Because the people receiving this should it be implemented nationwide shouldn't be paying those taxes anyway?
If I were attributing bad faith to Thomas - and given that he ignores court norms on recusing himself, that doesn't seem like too much of a stretch - I would be more likely to ascribe to him a desire to see "liberal Silicon Valley" punished than anything else.

Thomas is an incredibly political beast, to the point that Scalia wrote him off as an unprincipled nutjob.
This is why I've never understood why payroll is commonly on the 15th and last days of the month. Why not 1st and 15th? Those dates never change.
I get extreme migraines if I take it every day for more than a week. For me, eating Vitamin D fortified foods and sunlight seems to be more than enough.
I think news sources are desperate to downplay the importance of being outside getting sun and vitamin d because it highlights how them locking down everyone was probably one of the worst things that could be done.

The github pages site can be set up to just contain your blog pages, and that is how they are usually set up. Custom themes are probably supported, it really depends on how much time you are willing to put in on customizing it to your interests.
While the "add to cart to see price" pattern may be dark, it's worth noting that the retail seller that makes you do this is probably not the party who's responsible for the pattern. It turns out that some manufacturers make the retailer agree to not advertise a price lower than MSRP. But, though they cannot /advertise/ a price below MSRP, they can /sell/ at a price below MSRP. I guess it's generally accepted that showing you a different price after you've added the item to your cart doesn't technically count as "advertising" the lower price.

I've heard pentesterlab brought up pretty often. Is it really much better compared to other resources out there e.g. Tryhackme, hackthebox? How so? Or is it just cause it's the popular one now?

If Windows is a good GUI, how do I reliably swap caps lock and control?
The US as a rule avoids junctions without a traffic control device. Yield signs (equiv. of "give way") are very rarely used, except as part of merge scenarios (including).

The exceptions are:

A merge does not normally have traffic control devices except possibly a yield sign, or special merge signage.

Obviously a one way road forking (like part of a divided highway) does not need signals or stop signs.

Driveways do not usually count as roads for determining if an intersection exists. Commercial driveways are sometimes treated as roads, typically with stop signs, and ocassionally in heavy traffic areas with traffic lights. Large commercial areas (big box stores, or shopping centers) are more likely to have their driveways treated as roads.

Two roads intersecting without anything present to control traffic basically never happens. The less important street or less traffic street will typically get stop signs. If both roads are negligible traffic and build to the same standards, the stop sign direction is picked arbitrarily. If there is significant traffic, but both roads are approximately equal in importance and volume, 4 way stop is typically used, basically functioning as a poor-mans roundabout. In cases with really high traffic, traffic lights are typically used at intersections.

Most areas in the US do not make heavy use of roundabouts. They are becoming increasingly more common over time, but mostly in newly developed areas and it still varies by location. Retrofitting existing intersections is not super common (although it probably happens a lot more in some parts of the country).
I think this is really good documentary. An eye-opening one that changed my view about eating fish (also i will try avoid it). Anyone should watch this and make an opinion on sea fishing, plastic waste and so on.. Highly recommend :)
Probably not or it would have been on the news and you would start seeing p2p communications again. It’s not rocket science, after all.
You don't have to type the names, you only need the first character + tab. To me that's much faster than reading through a list of folders trying to find and click the right one.

In case one of those folders only contain one other folder, you don't even have to type the first character, just tab+tab+tab done.
One big problem I've seen at Amazon is that their tendency towards independent interacting subsystems carries over onto their culture with regards to their hardware.

One team was probably in charge of the camera/3d bit, and they worked on their own while everybody else made their generic implementations of required smartphone features ABC.

I see this all the time, features are planned and implemented without even communicating the fact to another team, when even the briefest pause would have led to the realization that it had enormous implications for them.
Absolutely.

IIRC Ford essentially doubled average pay to encourage more workers to keep coming to his factory. Essentially for working 6 months, you could take 6 months off and make the same yearly as you had at another job. He then, around a decade later IIRC, dropped it to a 40-hour week, which then killed turnover. He had a near permanent staff, making great wages for reduced hours.
Because then Sony and Nintendo could simply make their own hardware and use the drivers with it. The most interesting bits of Kinect aren't in the hardware... they're in the software, and Microsoft spent tens of millions of dollars and quite a few years developing it.
The problem is that the really interesting problems in computing aren't tractable as spare-time projects. How do you explore scaling operations to hundreds of computers in your spare time? How do you play around with making a service scale to millions of users as a side project?

There's a lot of difference in the unoptimized form of recursion - namely stack usage. Yes you can hack together tail call recursion to try and make recursion perform as well as iteration does, but what really is the point?

Microsoft has a lot of weight in the game market. Not surprising that they convinced some people to get onboard. I doubt very much that, as Gruber seems to be implying, there is something intrinsically flawed about the Android platform that is a barrier to game development.

Contact them threatening to sue. If they still don't respond, sue. Getting the person's social circle involved is low.
Honestly, Reddit desktop is one of the worst SPA implementations I’ve used. (And I’ve used some really snappy social media SPAs.) My pet conspiracy theory is that it’s deliberately bad to get more mobile app users.
It pushes/removes the air, so the fire goes out. As I read, this was something that's been researched but it's not useful for anything but blowing out candles, since in a real fire whatever's burning will just reignite since the burning material is not cooled or anything. Simply, the flame is suppressed momentarily.
I don't think it's super helpful for most orgs to try (to stay ahead of NSO type orgs), honestly.
You can't have a 100% secure computer, so you are already making some compromises. And, by definition, a zero-day is something that you have no forewarning of.

I think MOST orgs don't have to worry about NSO or state-level actor attacks. Most orgs are far more susceptible to ransomware and phishing, and should focus first on those.

The best approach to mitigating Zero-days is _detection_, to be honest. Would your shop be able to detect files flowing out? Odd time access? Weird probes from a computer inside the network?
Security through obscurity is never a good solution. That means bespoke stuff that might be hard to work with, but doesn't necessarily improve your security posture.

You want to develop a deep defense with good detection and monitoring with review. That will help you not just with Zero days, but all security aspects.
Beyond the information security risk around the loss of this specific device, what really worries me is the physical security implications here. I'm certainly no expert on the subject, but it seems to me like, in a building like the US Capitol, it should not be anywhere near this easy for unauthorized people to waltz into an office or conference room in the first place. Let alone walk away with items from within that room.
When they aren't in use take them out of the window. Problem solved.
I know thinkpads has "computrace" in the BIOS, but alongside with intel ME, perhaps the device can be, at least, erased.
Meh, USD is much better for that. Lots more drug dealers accept it.
So even the small electronic components are locked in after the vehicle passes crash testing? That seems weird, I wouldn't have thought that the IC you use on the indicator modules (say) would affect the crashworthiness, especially if you're replacing like with like.
Not just the laptop. Access to offices and assets, potential for network security issues, the whole things is a nightmare.

Edit: Do you people not understand physical security of network assets?
It's because when you scroll down it has other news stories in it.

Sure, but he specifically mentioned studying historical sources. If he's into something like, say, what ARMA folks do with fencing manuals, we're not talking about looking at a bunch of sketches and having random ideas. Historical manuals have annotations explaining what is being pictured, with motions described and what not. Sure you'll have botched icons but if text contradicts what you see, you'll test all variations and draw conclusions based on what's effective. Just because this poor video picked the flashiest imagery he had at hand doesn't mean this is what he's using as a reference.

WRT several adjacent threads here it's important to keep in mind that arms and armor changed over time. It's easy to say "meh, quality chainmail wouldn't have been pierced using this bow and this arrow" but it's quite likely that these techniques were rarely used by the time regular army had access to proper protective gear. He mentioned firearms in his video and noted that fast archery declined because of it. Could be but firearms were result of "we need more power to penetrate that armor" which in turn was caused by "we need better protection from these heavy swords" which were response to armor, and so on. I bet folks who were into art of war some hundreds of years ago had their own version of Moore's law. ;]
As an observation I would note that all marketing I have come across for this device has aimed at people concerned about privacy.

I am concerned when privacy and freedom have somehow turned into a right wing signal.

I'm a guitarist, and have been buying / selling guitars for some 20 years now - and while I agree that the vast majority of guitars that are seen as collectibles would lose against the stock market, there are some exceptions.

The "holy grail" of guitars would be the 1959 Les Paul Standard, though any from 1958-1960 with high grade of flames (that is, wood figuring on the maple top) is very collectible. And there are some others that will fetch lots of money (Flying V in Korina, from same period, for example).

In 1959, said guitar with case would retail $307.5 - that's equivalent to $3038.06 in current money / purchasing power.

These days, such a guitar will cost you minimum $200000. That's almost 11% annual ROI.

If it's a beautiful "case queen" that's been laying in its case for most of the time, you could easily get $500k. That's almost 12.5%.

Or if it's a celebrity owned, the sky is the limit - though your initial investment would have to be much higher, unless the guitar was acquired ages ago.

Same goes for Fender Strats and Telecasters from the same period (up to the early 60s) - though these are in much higher abundance. Nice ones can be had for $25k-$50k, which would give you a return right around, or above, the stock market.

But of course, few would have known this, back in the day. These guitars didn't become collectible until the 70s, and certain artist playing them helped the hype.

With that said, I don't think people that bought these as an investment, are too much into investing. It's a nice alternative/side investment that you can enjoy as you age - if you play guitar. They don't generate rent, they don't generate dividends, but that was never the point either.

So far, they've proved to be investments on par with the stock market - even beating the stock market if you have the right item. In fact, some of them have outperformed the stock market by magnitudes for the past 2-3 decades. Those $200k Les Pauls only sold for a fraction back in the 90s, so the majority of appreciation is a more recent thing.
Price stability requires a stockpile - there are egg warehouses dotted around the US, and they exist pretty much solely to ensure a regular supply and therefore predictable price of a very fundamental foodstuff.
I'd say it's more a criticism of the design of comment threads than the browser.
>There is not logic or careful analysis of "advantages of electricity vs disadvantages" it is plain silly.

I disagree. The Amish are engaged in a constant, ongoing negotiation with the technological world, and pneumatic power is one of many remarkably clever compromises.

Using "Amish electricity" provides you with the labour-saving benefits of domestic appliances, but without the temptation of entertainment technologies like TV that the Amish see as a threat to family life. Pneumatic power serves their social goals more effectively than electricity; It is very good at providing useful work, and very poor at providing idle distraction.

Many Amish people now have mobile phones, but they are kept in a shed some distance from the house so that they are only used when absolutely necessary rather than being a constant distraction. It is common for Amish communities to use non-Amish drivers to transport groups of them to work by van, which provides the economic benefits of commuting while avoiding many of the negative effects that private car ownership would have on community life.

>Think about the brainpower and time spent into doing that.

For the Amish, that's the whole point. They're not anti-technology, but they believe in engaging with technology on their own terms, in a careful and planned manner. Many of the prohibitions and taboos that seem arbitrary are arbitrary like a speed bump - they're designed to slow down the rate of progress and force you to think about what you're doing. These social constraints are a countervailing force to the natural tendency Schamus describes towards the easy and self-indulgent path.

@Stateless

public class SimpleSample {

public void doSomething() { /*business logic*/ }

}

How to compile:

You will need the the EJB 3.0 / 3.1 API in the classpath, or at least the @Stateless annotation.

How to deploy:

Just JAR the class and put the JAR into e.g: [glassfishv3-prelude-b23]\glassfish\domains\domain1\autodeploy

How to use:

e.g.:

import javax.ejb.EJB;

public class MyServlet extends HttpServlet{

@EJB

private SimpleSample sample;

}

And: there is no XML, strange configuration, libraries, additional frameworks or jars needed...
