1. I'm going to use your road and not pay. What are you going to do about it?

2. I don't believe you have rights to the land the road is on. How do you prove you have that right?

3. I'm going to build a circular road around a village, then charge $1 trillion for anyone to cross it. Should they starve to death rather then disobey me?

4. I've just shot your best friend in the street because I didn't like the colour of their hair? What are your options?

The severity of this depends on whether you consider SMM the same privilege level as ring 0, or higher. From my understanding, SMM seems like it was never really designed to be a higher privilege level with strong isolation guarantees.

You can rest assured that 99% of Firefox users won't do that.
I do block JS by default. If it's a site that won't render something readable without JS, I usually just move on. If it's one that I really need to interact with I'll enable it for that site, which does open some risk, but this approach generally makes drive-by exploits less likely.

> "sky is falling" implications, and then NOTHING absolutely happens

Sure, just brush off a sudo vulnerability.

> fight viruses off of Windows boxes

Virus != vulnerability.

Furthermore, while a rootkit is still a virus it's a long-shot from the relatively benign things running around on Windows machines (not that I mentioned Windows at first, but there ya' go - were on to that now). Just to avoid a Windows shitstorm, the same thing could be said of BSD. I am absolutely certain that there is at least one virus for the platform; however, the damage it could possibly do is seriously mitigated by the security of the platform.

"Viruses" (used as a distinct term to "rootkits") can at worst log a few keys up until your next virus scan. After that, poof! They're gone.

A "rootkit" (which requires a sudo/UAC vulnerability) can also at worst log a few keys or something. When you do your virus scan you're going to find nothing. It's going to sit on your machine until kingdom come because the virus is more privileged than you.

Security is like a backup. You only care about it when you have the random bad experience of actually needing it. I'm sure there are a bunch of Windows users who lament turning off UAC now that their files are all encrypted by ransomware. It has nothing to do with "market share" and has everything to do with risk: "UAC is such a stupid feature."

I could leave my keys in my car ignition every night of my life. No matter how much "market share" that car brand has all it takes is the random misfortune of someone on the street noticing that I do that.

Just keep in mind that it was you that bought up all these tangential topics.

> If you don't want a browser that has some notion of "local file context" you should just sell your laptop and go live in a cave.

this is kind of a silly statement. nobody would argue a program shouldn't be able to access local files, in this case, we would presume, PDF content that's been downloaded into a cache. the very simple argument is that the code which deals with opening and reading files from disk should be completely isolated from scripting-language code that runs dynamically in the same object space as the front-end scripting environment. e.g., put the .js in a sandbox by default the way we used to take for granted.

I understand that in the Mozilla suite, this barn door was left open years ago and the horses are far and wide by now.
Finally Delivered...

The package is a QB robot from Anybots. It's on it's way home from London to San Jose (we thought) for an upgrade. Over the last 18 days, FedEx has literally flown it across the Atlantic 7 times.

The sender inadvertently reversed the Sender and Receiver on the waybill, and was advised to 'just put arrows between the two, it happens all the time'. It got as far as San Jose distribution, who apparently missed the arrows and shipped it right back to London. Since then, and in spite of literally dozens of phone calls, this guy has been racking up frequent flyer miles.

FTA: "At times, cops have gone as far as to falsely claim the existence of a confidential informant while in fact deploying this particularly sweeping and invasive surveillance tool." The author suggests - between the lines anyway - that the authorities claim there's a CI, when really that CI is a Stingray. To apply that logic to this case, the CI "X" seems to be a convenient way to get around pesky constitutional protections and not have to mention the use of a Stingray.

The article is about the issues that will almost all be open. The complete quote you refer to is is "In fact, even our proprietary version of GitLab, GitLab Enterprise Edition, has a publicly viewable source code.". Can we be any more clear it is proprietary? We think it is notable that even the source code and issues of out proprietary edition are publicly viewable.
Ha ha. Good one. In theory, yes. In practice, they don't for many reasons. Cross border business is still hella complex for insurance in Europe.

I'm aware of the inaccuracy of eyewitness testimony, but that's not relevant in this case. The tip came from a known confidential informant, not a random person. The police were going to pursue the lead, stinger or no. The stinger just made it easier for them to verify that the suspects were at their homes.

Yes, proper procedures are important. Yes, I doubt this stinger usage was legal. Yes, this was bad police work. I agree with all of those points. As I said before, the OPD was incompetent.

Now for a thought experiment: Imagine we lived in a world where police needed a warrant to dust for latent fingerprints. Such procedures would safeguard the privacy of citizens and prevent many abuses of power. Still, I think that world would be worse than this one. Such hindrances would, at the margin, make it harder to solve cases and allow more criminals to evade capture. Those costs are high enough to outweigh the privacy benefits.

Now imagine trying to convince people of the advantages of warrantless fingerprint-dusting. No matter how you frame it, everyone thinks you don't care about civil liberties. Many of them try to educate you on the importance of checks and balances in the legal system. Sounds pretty frustrating, huh?

I hope that helps you see where I'm coming from.

Edit: So far in this whole thread, not a single reply has engaged with my actual argument. (sigh) I give up. Here's another thought experiment: If the Supreme Court ruled in favor of warrantless stingrays, would you be OK with them? If not, maybe legality isn't your true reason for opposing them.

I apologize in advance for my short sighted question as I don't really know much about gitlab but my question is: does this mean anything for large file support in the community edition? I find it surprising there are no free solutions for large binary files other than perforce. Compared to most tools indie game devs use, perforce is a dinosaur.
In my opinion 3D printers are a little too limited on their own, but they're potentially very useful when paired with other tools. I'm interested in solutions like the FirePick Delta, which combines 3D printing with other functions that aid in home electronics manufacturing:

>Stopped all 1:1’s and mentorship sessions to avoid top down interactions

What?
Whaaat?
I am glad this is the first thing they immediately brought back, and while I am glad someone is doing some experimenting, this seems a bit obviously wrong headed.

Mentorship is the main way I see experience and knowledge are communicated (in terms of learning, besides making a LOT of hard mistakes yourself) unless you have the most amazing ways of teaching people already 100% completed and available for them to pick up.

To eschew mentorship almost seems to eschew the basics of how humans work!
And the part you print won't last, hence the "cheap" part of my comment. Where I work, we have a $30k printer that do that kind of work, production work, and it's not cheap.
As a canadian, I find that unconvincing. For the last few years up until this July, my commute involved a 900m walk to the nearest subway stop (which I considered nice and short!) year-round. And yes, it took twice as long when there was 8-12" of fresh snow, which happened ib average every other week in winter.

The waitress looked at me like I was asking her to calculate a double integral.

A lot of the reliability problems with desktop 3D printers comes from the fact that they're forced by patents encumbering better methods to use Fused-Deposited Material (FDM) style printing. Extruding plastic thread and building up a model from that requires a lot of moving parts, some with extreme thermal changes being applied to them.

I've seen a lot of DIY folk waste a lot of time on 3D printers. As it currently stands, I think you should expect at least a year, maybe even 2, of your hobby being "building a 3D printer" rather than "building things with a 3D printer" if you get into it.

If you don't want to spend a few thousand dollars (and even the cheap ones you end up spending on, because of the replacements and upgrades you'll need and want to do), don't want to put up with the hassle, then I have three suggestions:

- For simple things, stick to wood-working, it's significantly easier and faster than 3D printing. e.g. if all you need is a box to hold a Raspberry Pi, A) you can probably get a pre-fab box at an arts-and-crafts shop near you, or B) making boxes is not terribly difficult (there will be methods you will have to learn, it's not something you just jump into, but the actual techniques are not that hard).

- For things requiring precise dimensions and non-standard cuts, go with laser cutting. There are a wide variety of materials you can use, and a huge number of very cheap, very fast services you can employ. You basically draw your thing in InkScape or Adobe Illustrator, email it away, wait a day or two, and then glue your thing together. It is very easy and it makes for extremely clean and professional-looking "prototype grade" results.

- If you need the complexity of 3D printing: order from ShapeWays. Don't buy a 3D printer. If not ShapeWays, you might have a local shop that has 3D printing available. They will only charge you for the finished product, they don't charge you for the failures.

At this point in time, with the speed of all 3D printers being so bad, and the reliability of any 3D printer you could own on a single person's budget, there is no point to owning your own 3D printer. If that is going to change anytime in the near future, it will require a few seachanges in how we go about 3D printing. Otherwise, it's waiting for certain patents to expire.

Mercurial has had support for large binary files using the 'largefiles' extension for several years now.
Additionally, they overcharge a lot for the last mile infrastructure for other ISPs, so in my region some other ISPs started building their own last mile infrastructure and peering with Telia to get access to TAT-14 (and thereby allowing them to peer better with US providers).

It doesn't help your position the fact that you are unable to express it without belittling anybody who disagrees with you using stuff like "stay stuck in 1992" ("If you don't like America you should go to Russia!").

Also, the links/lynx jokes have really gotten tired, plenty of people browse the web with ublock, no(t)script, webgl and webrtc disabled and so on.
The pretense that anybody who tries to retain a modicum of control on what its browser does and does not it a luddist is frankly irritating.

And the whole language debate is completely off point, we have plenty of safe(r) languages for writing stuff, the misguided idea is that the only way to do so is to use javascript and stick the resulting program inside the browser.

The law of causality is ultimately incompatible with free will. You cannot have truly autonomous agency within a physical framework ruled by cause and effect. To truly express freedom of will, without influence from any prior cause, you would literally need to exist in your own isolated vacuum of space and time (no outside influence from environment), having also created yourself (no outside influence from genetics). That is to say, if you believe you have free will, the burden is on you to prove that your body, and your brain itself, are not bound by the laws of the physically causal universe.

You're right, it is a bit of a chicken and an egg issue. One way of combating it was to make automated posts in preset areas based on target demographic and population rates. Outside of that, I believe for an app that requires people in a certain area to adopt in order to generate activity, it becomes more difficult to gain popularity all around.

Decided to switch to gitlab when I realized github refused to release their tools on Linux even though according to stackoverflow statistics Linux users make up over 20% of programmers, matching the number of OS X programmers.

It's unfortunate that they make a living off open source software created by a lead Linux developer but they act like Linux doesn't even exist.

Not a big deal though, the userbase on github is worse than facebook or 9gag.

Gitlab isn't much better than github when it comes to openess, but it seems to be the best alternative so far.

That doesn't make any sense though unless bitcoins can be owned.

The way I see it, you can't have a decentralised, unregulated currency as well as protection from theft from a government / legal system - the two are mutually exclusive. If you want your money to have some protection, use a regular currency with a regular bank - even if that bank goes out of business and its owners go to trial for embezzlement, you'll still get at least part of your money back.

In my experience, the clashes of European companies with EU regulators just don't create as much press.

The most recent anti-trust/cartel activity is listed by the European Commission for Competition:

http://ec.europa.eu/competition/elojade/isef/index.cfm?fusea...

http://ec.europa.eu/competition/cartels/cases/cases.html

Currently that covers: something about pay-TV in UK/Ireland, Qualcomm, a bunch of European cargo train operators, a pan-European retail food packaging cartel, something about a Bulgarian Energy Holding, German car heating and climate control vendors, Amazon, SkyTeam.

Of these, two are American (Qualcomm, Amazon), one has a US company involved (Delta Airlines as part of SkyTeam), everything else is EU internal.

That doesn't look like coercion against another country ("always the USA") to me.

I guess there are two reasons why the media is mostly covering the cases where US companies are involved:

First, the big tech companies are mostly American. Being big brings you on the radar of both regulators (everywhere) and the media covering the industry.

Second, EU tech media takes cues from US tech media. When the US media report on something (such as a potential problem for the international business of their local industry), EU tech media pick it up.

Up until today I haven't heard about the retail food packaging cartel, but with a €115M penalty that must have been a bigger issue. But why should HN (and related media) cover that? They're no household names, so it's also not covered in the general press.
But I'm quite certain that the trade press of the retail food industry will cover this in great detail.
