You can certainly encourage someone to open the door. I've found that staying calm, humble, and listening first tends to cause others to listen in return.
Do you have any clue how the spotter gets the info of near opponents? So the basis for the „left/right side“ messages.

I would really like to have a visual spotter similar to Assetto Corsa Competizione.
"The paradox of tolerance states that if a society is tolerant without limit, its ability to be tolerant is eventually seized or destroyed by the intolerant. Karl Popper described it as the seemingly paradoxical idea that in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must be intolerant of intolerance."

Good tips. I wouldn't hire you.
Yes, but I think that syntax is a little ugly, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8916893
It was incorrect of me to say it was equivalent, but if all lines in the file are unique (ignoring the parent comment's assumption there will be lots of duplicates) then you're still creating a large object in memory. I'm not sure of the space of sets/hash tables vs. lists, but I imagine they'd be prety close.

But of course that will be unavoidable if you want fast deduplication. You could do fully lazy deduplication using a generator, but you'd have to avoid using sets.
I'm not concerned if a web app or a shopping cart is dynamic. But I see dynamic blogs all the time. Blogs with no comment system, or one that's used infrequently. What's the point of making that dynamic?

While I'm on the subject, can anyone tell me the reasoning behind loading blog content with javascript? I hate when I visit a blog with no script turn on, and get greeted by a blank template. Why does it need javascript to grab the page content?
I believe he meant sessions being portable across devices. You cannot start a X application on your laptop, disconnect, switch to your desktop, continue using the application. (At least, it does not easily work out of the box. Allegedly it is possible in certain scenarios.)

VNC and other on-top approaches can do this (even with Wayland).

This scene is actually a good example of how well status hacks can work. Despite being a low-rung employee, Peter shows up to the meeting under-dressed and totally relaxed, and treats the Bobs with calm indifference. By doing this, Peter signals that he is high enough status not to give a shit, and the Bobs eat it up.
It would work for TSA, might not work well for your kindle ;-)

I can see a smart-ass TSA agent seeing your kindle and nonchalantly mark it with his permanent red marker, then in one fluid "kthxbye" motion give it back to you and move on to the next person in line.

You'll complain but they'll just reply back with Amazon's marketing line "It's just like paper!"

The tl;dr; game plan:

1. Pressure technology companies to harden their systems against NSA surveillance

2. Create a global movement that encourages user-side encryption

3. Encourage the creation of secure communication tools that are easier to use

4. Reform Executive Order 12333

5. Develop guiding legal principles around surveillance and privacy with the help of scholars and legal experts worldwide

6. Cultivate partners worldwide who can champion surveillance reform on the local level, and offer them support and promotion

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that I'd use them because of Go's garbage collector, which is vastly improved and arguably the best part of the entire ecosystem these days. I'd use the JVM or the CLR mostly because I am more convinced than I am about almost any technical topic that Go is a creeping, faddish horror that resists decent design practices for applications over a trivial scope, made by a team that took all the wrong lessons from Java and C++ and made a language worse than one or the other at almost every task that I can think of.
It's too far up the stack and too coarse-grained. If I save a file on my Mac, it is encrypted, but if I transfer it to Dropbox it is decrypted and then transferred.

Right now I solve this by using command line tools or encrypted .sparsebundle images. That sucks.

You are failing to take into account the hygiene hypothesis: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2841828/. There is evidence that a lack of exposure to germs is a cause of autoimmune and allergic diseases. While this may-or-may-not be true of exposure to COVID amongst healthy young people, blanket statements like "It’s a disease. It’s not something your body needs to experience" could use a little more nuance.

>There has to be a sweet spot between telling everyone immediately, insighting a panic, and holding back all of the information.

What if there's panic? It's not with a, say, earthquake prediction, where people would evacuate cities etc.

Rather, they'd stay at home more, avoid crowded places, avoid people looking sick, and wear those white mouth/nose masks more when out -- in all, that should help reduce the spreading of the dicease.

I think its as much a case of technology, both product and ease of manipulating companies structures has moved past the traditional taxation rules per country.

We need to start approaching more taxation rules at a trading/travel block level. E.g. G12 say minimum 25% corporate tax or any product/service that involves non-complainant countries has a X% duty type thing.... or something down that concept route.

I think the real rich person law they politicians have supported and can influence is capital gains tax. Capital gains at a certain point is income. There's a reason CEO's take a $1 salary, they are clearly not living on that.
^^^ Yes.
My personal highlights, skimming this release:

> -fallocation-dce removes unneeded pairs of new and delete operators

> -fno-allocation-dce Do not remove unused C++ allocations in dead code elimination.

Nice!

> -fanalyzer enables a new static analysis pass and associated warnings [...] analysis of non-C code is unlikely to work.

I'm super excited to see what this does, we need way more static analysis for C! Does anyone know any good static analysers other than gcc's or clang's?

> -Wstring-compare, enabled by -Wextra, warns about equality and inequality expressions between zero and the result of a call to either strcmp and strncmp that evaluate to a constant as a result of the length of one argument being greater than the size of the array pointed to by the other

Again, more (static) analysis and compile-time stuff is super nice!

> -Wzero-length-bounds, enabled by -Warray-bounds, warns about accesses to elements of zero-length arrays that might overlap other members of the same object.

Hell yes! Scary that this wasn't already a thing?
All the other improvements to warnings are incredibly useful, too!

great news! the business is delighted by the scalability and resilience demonstrated by this proof-of-concept and alignment with cloud-native strategy. the business has decided to use this as the platform to deliver the new "hello $customer_firstname $customer_lastname" product to production.

since we'll be executing brainfuck programs containing customer PII, the design may need a few standard technical enhancements to implement an acceptable level of controls to reduce the risk of customer data breaches.

each edge in the design must use transport layer security (either using built-in service capability or, preferably, by addition of a service mesh to the architecture).

use of plaintext database passwords in deployment configuration is unacceptable. fresh secrets need to be generated and the deployment configuration needs to be modified to read secrets from our existing secret management platform. please follow least privilege principles and define minimal roles & access to secrets for each service in the cluster.

since the brainfuck machine will be processing workloads for multiple customers, in addition to coarse-grain service-level access control it will also need to enforce finer-grain access controls to restrict which parties can read from or write to which ranges of brainfuck memory cells containing information of distinct customers. this must follow our established standard by adding authentication and authorisation to each service based on stateless access tokens. please update the design to integrate with the existing token issuer.

I disagree with the opinion this article.

It appears to be "neuralink and others are promising full mind reading and this whole thing is going to fail"

It is similar to the "self-driving argument". People complain and complain about Elon Musk's full-self-driving, yet telsa owners are out on crowded freeways, their cars happily driving them down the center of the lane and judiciously following the car in front. Yes, it probably can't get drive through at mcdonalds, but big whoop.

(also this person has no concept of what "the public" will do - honestly they would probably pay $5k to have alexa beep in their mind when someone's at the door)

Personally I would love a ctrl-labs keyboard, but now with facebook owning them, you know there will be a login requirement.
This makes a lot of sense, thanks :)
To my understanding, it doesn't implement calling functionality -- you have to have a number for the Voice service to call to. It isn't a VOIP client like Skype, so I wouldn't expect this to support the iPod touch any time soon -- unless you were planning on using it to forward to a Skype number or something like that.

It's really more of a telephony abstraction than a client.

Well, their political views and his attempt to overthrow a democratically-elected government by inciting a mob to storm the Capitol building.
And you don't think it's ridiculous to equivocate between events where a police officer is grievously beaten and a woman is trampled and events where people sit quietly and get arrested because some sergeant decides it is disorderly for them to sit there without a permit.

> Considering the sheer number of protests and protesters involved, BLM protests were mostly peaceful.

This is a pretty terrible standard, since MAGA rallies are mostly peaceful as well. The issue is what do we do with the ones that aren't, not how many of them are.

If your sources for "proof" are from anyone that is pro-Trump and repeatedly tears into Trumps opposition, you might want to start with the assumption that motivated reasoning is in play. You can be well-educated, and still have a bias and be inclined to argue for your side to win.
The constitution clearly says the election shall be held via methods as prescribed by the state legislators.

Disagreements between branches of state government should have defaulted to the legislature, but didn't in most of the states in question. Especially true in PA, where the legislature specifically voted against implementing the same rules that the court then imposed anyway.

Even worse, they ignored Alito's court order to segregate ballots. (Which admittedly ended up being a moot point, other than showing general non-compliance.)

So yes, I think the rule changes are a reason to disqualify either votes or an entire election.

>It's naked anti-democratic BS, attempting to masquerade as a valid concern.

That's a political opinion, not a legal one. Which makes it the legislators decision, not the state court's.

There’s a developed discussion.
Do you know this? It seems obvious to me, but calling it a "0day" suggests that maybe the attack is (at least marginally) more sophisticated than the obvious correlation attack. Not to mention, as far as I can see, we have no idea.
I don't have the power to down vote. The Dresden marches have had at most, from what I've seen in the news 17 000 people - I don't think that is enough to say that the EU has a nazi problem. It might be considered that a single nazi is a problem, but in terms of nazis being a threat to the EU, 17 000 is not a problem. Somewhere in the region of 250 000 Brits declared themselves Jedi in the last census, if that puts it in perspective. The last video I saw of the marches showed a black guy up front: http://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2014/dec/23/thousands... I guess that's open to interpretation. I think a problem the left have is that when they go around blanket labelling everyone racist they are as over-excitedly left as the neo-nazis are over-excitedly right. The left is seen as good, and so people on the left wanting to be more good keep jostling to be more left. The right is seen as bad and so there is a limit to how far right people will move before there is disapproval, that point easily identified as racism, but there doesn't seem to be this obvious limit on the left. It looks to me as though the left limit might be when the left start labelling everyone as racist.
Anything you can do to make yourself unique rather than a commodity is valuable. Business wants programmers to be commodities - it's easier for them, because then they can deal with a market rate and not have to treat anyone as special.
Total vaporware.. consumers vastly overestimate the value of their own attention and assume it can fund expensive things like this. If it can be ad supported why do you need to pay $10 for the "app" via kickstarter?
They can disclose it because they were given it. Do you think he did not know this will get published sooner or later?

Also depth of Russian penetration of security services and media in Europe.. in many places it is quite complete. It would not actually be surprising at all if Spiegel had someone working for FSB/GRU.

Having said that it is not 100% certainty. If he was not turned before the disclosures then US whistleblower witchhunt that drove him into arms of FSB is even worse because he really had no choice once US started hunting him.
Seconded. The tools are not the problem. The humans using the tools are the problem.
I've never used WhatsApp (and only briefly tried some of the other listed messengers), but switching from one centralised and commercial system, once it runs into issues as many similar systems did before it, to another very similar system, doesn't seem quite wise. Personally I'm using XMPP and IRC for instant messaging, and tend to recommend the former: it's a nice and federated protocol, with users and software, and perhaps one of the least offenders wrt fragmentation of messengers. Was surprised to see neither of those among poll options.
I just deleted WhatsApp rather than “agree” to their ultimatum. I liked the group chats, but not enough for that.
It's classic case of double talk. Everyone is free to interpret it as they will, he washes his hands of all this. If he really wanted to send people home, he could just have said: please go home. Or even: look, we've tried everything, we were wrong. I'm sure president Biden will take best care of this country. Please go home.

Even if he didn't think it, as what he thinks shouldn't matter unless he wants the stirrup to continue. He's supposed to be a politician, or even just a grown up person after all, not a child who cannot control himself.

Living in Hungary, living through this very same shit for 10, or maybe 14 years now, I've watched the whole Trump story in horror, but also thinking most of the time: yeah, this is kind of expected. This double talk thing is something our PM (Viktor Orban) does a lot of time. So yeah, Trump didn't want to calm these guys down, or to be more objective, that's not what he DID (even if we believe he's totally childish and dumb).
It's not really "good enough" for them. Some criminals seem to use it but it's just a matter of reputation. It doesn't offer any extra privacy over whatsapp.
