Oh, it actually gets much worse than ID's law. WY, for example, has managed to class this sort of thing ("fraudulently" getting a job in a meat packing plant in order to surreptitiously film their operations for documentary purposes) as an act of terrorism, with all the legal implications that follow from that.

EDIT: Doing some fact-checking, I'm unable to substantiate this claim, beyond ALEC's "model law", written in 2002, called, the "Animal and Ecological Terrorism Act", and a number of proposed and sponsored bills in state legislatures, none of which appear to have passed with "terrorism" verbiage intact. Sorry for the noise.

We already have a way of dealing with these kinds of debts that can't be repaid: it's called bankruptcy, it has a whole bunch of safeguards to stop people abusing it, and it's what you'd have to do if you took on any other kind of debt to fund your business and couldn't repay it. There is absolutely no reason why Kickstarter needs to be any different.
Funny. Some brits look up to the Chinese system to educate their kids, but come time for university and every single Chinese parent would rather their kid go the oxbridge route than any chinese school.

Perhaps this article should be more explicit in that it involves comparison between CHinese practices and those of a subset of British schools. I went to a british-style boys school, a rugby school. It was nothing like the one in this article. We did plenty of memorization. We paid attention and worked hard for many hours beyond what is expected of the kids in this article. By grade 12 I had actually read all the major Shakespeares, read them well enough to have opinions and write papers. (First year university was a total walk in comparison.) The brits need not go to china for inspiration.

Bug 1001989 - NSA partisan coder

Steps to reproduce:

I found a big bug in Mozilla. Would you please remove Eric Rescorla and other NSA-partisans from your software?

Actual results:

NSA partisans were introducing bugs and vulnerabilites into Mozilla. Sourcecode is not published.

Expected results:

Remove NSA partisans from Mozilla., publish the sourcecode.

It's pretty much the same as forging email. Most won't notice. Both can be signed with pgp, but few check and it's clumsy for the mainstream.
> that, in fact, the bad actors constitute an overwhelming minority of the population

This survey contradicts that assertion: http://www.aele.org/loscode2000.html

From the survey:

`In response to “Please describe the first time you witnessed misconduct by another employee but took no action,” 46 percent (532) advised they had witnessed misconduct by another employee, but concealed what they knew.`

If we can trust the survey results, methodology, etc, the minority of which you speak is 46%.

Yes, provided that the server accepted the second key the rest would not be sent. However, the server can simply respond that each key is incorrect (regardless of if it is or not), and then get all five keys.

Once SSH has ran out of keys to try, it tries to move on to other authentication methods. The go app he has written then automatically accepts the connection at that point, once it knows it has seen all of your keys.
I can understand that they are worried about lies being told, but the solution to malicious liars is not to stifle free speech in general.

The fact is, sadly, that in any free society freedom of speech will be misused by some people.

And the fact remains that in this particular space, we do need people to be able to blow the whistle if something wrong is being done. We know that bad things do happen, and when they do, they can be horrifying. The animals have basically no defense but the conscience of the owner, and, should that fail, a whistleblower.
> The bigger problem is that most companies view "engineer" as "implementor of ideas that come from the business"

This is exactly what I tell people when they ask why I'm applying to business school instead of being a career software engineer. Engineers will almost always just be implementers of other people's strategy decisions -- and they will be largely fungible -- but the strategy decisions are where you can have a real lever effect on organizations as an individual.
Even a wealthy person in 1905 couldn't get fresh fish from the ocean. The Wright brothers didn't even fly until 1903. And the train from either coast would be a couple of weeks.

As someone else mentioned, it was probably tamago, or maybe beef. Or maybe even local fish but pickled, which would have gone with the vinegar rice.

Or maybe they used local fish raw and just risked getting worms.

It being a "Git issue" implies it should be fixed by modifying the Git software. I'm not entirely sure how someone would go about doing that, assuming you can't assume that each machine generating contributions will only be used by a single contributor and never shared. (Tokens such as thumb drives can be stolen and copied, too, and an application can't be sure it's reading off a thumb drive anyway.)
Linus actually commented on this lack of identity handling in 2012 in his famous explanation of why he doesn't use GitHub: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/pull/17

"since github identities are random, I expect the pull request to
be a signed tag, so that I can verify the identity of the person in
question."

And:

"github throws away all the relevant information, like having even a
valid email address for the person asking me to pull."

Oh no no no. If you are handling something as important as the Linux kernel, you will absolutely want traceability over anything as trivial as clean history. You will impose signed commits and signed merges only... none of these FF stuff.
If you want clean history on top of that, you will enforce that on original pull request not after the fact.
Seems to be a lot of no-content responses here which is a shame.

Realistically your best bet is to do consultancy/contracting work. With 2 years experience you could easily pick up a Jnr or Intermediate role at $40-80/hr. Over a month you'll have your 5K.

Pull 80 hour weeks on in-your-own-time contracts and you'll make it in a week.

You also need to cut living costs out entirely. If you wanted to go extreme, sell everything you own and live in your car, and take a free 7-day trial at every gym in your area over the next few months.

I did this before moving overseas for a few months, once a month I'd stay at a friends place for the weekend - definitely not for the faint of heart.

As part of the ancestry of that Swedish immigration wave to the Midwest, all I know of is lutefisk, which is by no means sushi. It's about the most vile thing you can imagine - dried cod turned to fish jello in lye. You can smell it from miles away when it's being cooked, and... well, the smell is worse than the taste, but to think of equating that with sushi...

I don't think you can even call it seafood.

The paper lists some of the downsides of machine learning but skips the upsides. If you think of something like "How Google Translate squeezes deep learning onto a phone" featured here recently (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9969000 ) it may stop working well because the world changes in that new fonts get trendy but it is probably easier just to retrain on new fonts than to adjust a non machine learning solution - if there is one for that problem. High-Interest credit card seems unfair. Occasional service charge might be closer.
One would need to know what the misconduct consisted of, in order to judge what this means. Is the misconduct accepting free coffee at the 7-11, or is it beating a prisoner?
I'm specifically making a distinction between the bad actors — people who commit an overtly abusive act — and the "thin blue line", which is cops who are aware of the abuses, but conceal or misrepresent what they've seen.

The 46% you cite numbers among the latter. For all you know, though, the people those 46% are talking about having seen committing "misconduct" are the same folks over and over.

I'm not downplaying police abuses, and I'm not excusing the people who don't speak up and call it out when it occurs, but I think it remains useful to make a distinction between them.

Startup Advising Is Broken – Here’s What We’re Doing to Fix It
Double-reading the man page I noticed that IdentitiesOnly makes ssh only send IdentityFile keys, however IdentityFile has a default of "~/.ssh/id_dsa, ~/.ssh/id_ecdsa, ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 and ~/.ssh/id_rsa".

The result is that with this configuration you would still send id_rsa to unknown hosts.

You also need to add "PubkeyAuthentication no" to your global stanza, and re-enable it for good hosts.

# Ignore ssh-agent keys
IdentitiesOnly yes
# Disable public key authentication
PubkeyAuthentication no

# Send your public key to github only
Host github.com
PubkeyAuthentication yes
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa

I disagree, the real problem here is people thinking that somehow any github repository can be a trusted source. If you work on Linux, you know that the one and only source of truth is the repo that comes from Linus himself, not anything coming from github.
While China has a great and deep culture, I don't see a strong reason why the UK should look to China for inspiration for its education system. The West continues to do great things in every field including technology. I think that the increasing representation of Chinese in technology is mainly due to the fact that hard technical skills are much more transferable across language and cultural barriers, than to any inherent advantage in China's education system. And while it's great that the Chinese government wants to invest more in cutting edge research, right now the most advances are still being made in the West.
Agreed. I think of it as "cloud computing, fully realized".
Any information you can get online or over the phone can be forged. (Passwords can be discovered, as can private keys, fingerprints, and the results of genetic tests.) Certain kinds of physical evidence, such as dead skin cells with usable genetic material in them, are to my knowledge effectively impossible to forge, but they can be "accidentally" contaminated beyond usability. Doing things in-person face-to-face is only an improvement if you knew the person before anyone had any incentive to fool you on the person's identity, which is hard; even then, allegiances can be bought, sold, and changed for other reasons.

My point is that fixing this issue is out-of-scope for a DVCS. It could, however, be improved a bit.

ClojureScript – Performance tuning rewrite-cljs
I think of police states as authoritarian. Maybe there could be a democratic police state. But that would be odd.

Anyway, with anarchism there are voluntary associations. In free-market anarchism, there are private services for defense and contract enforcement. But if wealth is concentrated, such services that serve the wealthy will be far more powerful than those who serve the poor.

In effect, they will be "the police". And so we would have an authoritarian police state.
Sleep, at least on the ride into work. Rest is a force multiplier with respect to intelligence. If I'm too awake to sleep on the way in, I will keep my eyes closed anyway, and meditate for the full hour. I get off the train relaxed, energized and fully prepared for the workday.

On the way home, I chat with the other regulars. I try not to spend too much time staring at a screen, considering what I do for a day job. Often I will read, draw, listen to music, or just take time to reflect on the day.

I suppose my own personal conclusion is that, while I do enjoy distractions, not every hour needs to be packed with activities. Sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself is to rest, reflect and relax.

killfiles have been around for a couple of decades now, actually. I think they would have been around 100 years ago if technology permitted. I don't think it's necessarily evidence of a troubling trend. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Unfortunately, the post-modernist idea that everyone is entitled to their own subjective reality (and that those subjective realities are all equally valid) has resulted in unparalleled lows.

Not only does much of the public discourse consist of people talking past each other, but the need to create "safe spaces" where we can be sure not to hurt anyone's feelings.
The SSH agent maintains your private keys and provides the necessary responses to ssh when it wants to authenticate to a server. If you ssh to a server and forward your SSH agent, that server can then run ssh themselves and impersonate you to a different remote server, and your SSH agent will supply the necessary authentication information.

Or, in short: never use ForwardAgent (or ssh -A) to a server you don't trust.

I don't like github's dependency on some git EMAIL variables and stuff.

First of all already of course there is the problem that putting your email on the internet is asking for spam.

But a bigger problem is, if I'm on a machine that doesn't happen to have those variables configered, and I push something to github, even if I use my github username and password then, it does not show me as author. Very annoying.

EDIT: I don't like git itself's email dependency either. But at least github could have done something with the fact that you login with a username... :)

By appending "unverified" and "unsigned" after the email addresses? Just like email. This problem has been solved long ago, there is no reason why Git can't fix this. It already has PGP signatures, there is no reason to not add verification layer.

Adobe Pitches Marketers on a Cross-Device Data Co-Op, but Privacy Is a Snag
Chinese education kills the real genius, but does make the ordinary kids a skillful engineer(relatively), so the best kids still want to go overseas while the rest can do math better than any other west countries after repeatedly practice.

The USA education system does allow their top kids fly freely(which is really a small percentage), however the demanding on the average kids are too little, many kids gave up or drop out and could not find a decent job thereafter. No-child-left-behind can only do so much. There is nearly no grit/hard-working attitude in middle/high schools here at USA comparing to China.

Note 1: Not all Chinese students going overseas are top kids these days anymore, in fact most of them are having a rich dad meanwhile they can not stand up the fierce competition in Chinese schools.
Note 2: The Chinese education system(in that sense, the India's) produced lot of "good-enough" engineers eager to fill up the H1B quota annually, those USA kids with the same IQ ended up not being a STEM engineer most likely, which is considered too nerdy or more, too hard for them. -- No pain, no gain.
