"The problem is, America didn't send any troops to Ukrain, Russia did"
Well, this is open to debate. Russia DID sent troops to Crimea but was legally and contractual allowed to do so.

Counter question: Why are armed US soldiers flying to Ukraine? Dear Hunting?

7. Yell at Cat for breaking the build and then Cat just walks off and goes to sleep.
Perhaps it's output is not high enough to overcome the air and rolling resistance at that speed.
Re X being insecure. Yep. People have brought this up in the comments of the blog post. It doesn't reduce security by shifting it to a different user, and no, it's not as good as running under a VM. However it does give it some extra protection. For example it would have protected your main users ~/.ssh/ and ~/.gnupg/ directories etc that this latest pdf.js vulnerability could have exposed.

Re the TPM, even in the worse case scenario where the TPM is totally evil, it can't reduce the randomness on my system. It will either keep it the same or improve it. At least on Linux, where it is just one extra source of entropy on top of the other existing ones.

Re the smart card, that may be the case, but it's probably the safest one out there, recommended and pushed by the guy who wrote GnuPG.

It's worth noting that the blog post is 4 years old now.

I could have sworn it also had an option to only allow HTTPS connections with error as fallback. But I guess I saw that in some other add-on. Sorry for the false information!
I am reminded of the story of how Leonardo da Vinci took three years to paint The Last Supper and produced only a small number of paintings, generally considered masterpieces, during his life.
> The safety of the implementation language is far from the only concern when considering the security impact of modern browser features. [...] Those kinds of things are not solvable with a safer language (in some cases that probably makes fixing timing attacks more difficult/impossible). I'm sure there are more of these kinds of things to be found. Some of them are realistically never going to be fixed now because they are baked into the standards and the browser vendors clearly care more about animating gizmos and not breaking existing sites than leaking users browser state.

Good points, didn't know about the SVG exploit having taken so long. Rust (which, as you say, is no silver bullet) is one data point showing Mozilla's commitment to security, but the variance in the time to fixing exploits is worth consideration. Today's exploit was fixed in one day, SVG took 18 months. Why? Did Moz do a good job at prioritizing based on the severity / availability of exploits in the wild, or was the long time to SVG fix just caused by technical difficulties? I don't know, maybe a mozillian involved can comment.
"World's first $9 computer!" is likely a false statement. Oh well, marketing. Whatever.
Good timing. Recently installed Gitlab Community edition on DigitalOcean (one click install) and so far loving it.

Some issues:

- Does it have a default task management tool or we need to integrate a 3rd party ? Couldn't find it in the forums yet

- The UI is a bit clunky in terms of navigation. For example, being able to move from the homepage level to specific project back and forth is a bit confusing. Would love a re-design of UI.

EDIT:

Lot of feedback that I can give. So far:

- Make it easy to navigate between index page and specific groups/projects. May be on login to index, just show a dashboard with all groups/projects that I am part of. If Admin, then show me additional options like what you have in "Admin Area" menu. Here is one idea. Just show all menu options in the left sidebar and split it like:

- Home

- Groups

- Projects

- Project 1

- all menus that shows up for projects

- Admin Area

- Profile Settings

- Users

- Mail Settings

- User profile management is not that good for admins. For example, just yesterday one of my developers got locked out and I could not reset his access via the UI. I had to go in the config files to update the lockout timestamp.

- Also for new users, as admin I want the control to add them as verified user already. Currently I don't think that options is there in UI unless we fiddle with the code.

- For email driver, a simple form in UI will be nice to have. For example, if I want to use Mandrill, give me that option in the UI.

Bottomline is that even though we are developers, we don't want to change the .rb files for Gitlab and instead focus on an easy UI.
Benevolent dictatorship.
My Journey to Becoming an Indie Game Developer
The difficulty of conceptualizing an entire programming system gave rise to a paradigm of small pieces fit together through composition. Each piece should operate at its own level of abstraction. So too with management. Without it, everyone needs to simultaneously operate at all levels of abstraction just to be able to decide what's most important to work on.

Well done trying an experiment and well done acknowledging when it didn't work out and fixing it.
Cool! Anyone want to try emailing pope@va and seeing what comes of it?
>> You need to self-reflect after each iteration, mind you, to make sure that you learn each time you do the thing. But, this is necessary for skill progress whether you're going fast or slow.
Yeah, sure.

Germany is probably one of the WORST places for a start-up.
OK that's hilarious.
No, they aren't. This is just sloppy wording in the article. The concept of sets is deeply established in mathematics and when you talk about multisets rather than sets you have to state this explicitly.
Once you are inside the horizon of an endgame tablebase (currently 7 pieces on the board or fewer) then the end is known, at that point the computer plays the game like a hypothetical god would.
Proponentes of cryptocurrencies highlight the fact that it is not controlled/manipulated by governments and banks, but when something goes wrong they go running to daddy government for help.
The code is not the same; behaviours and inverse kinematics are pretty much never the defaults (they suck). So each team tries to work on things its members are good at, and it seems Australians are particularly good at that.
As I mentioned above, that's definitely not the case in the outer boroughs of New York (Manhattan in some cases too, depending on where you are, though I don't know that for certain).

There have been weeks at a time where I've had to walk in the street because the sidewalks were just inaccessible or sheets of ice, which makes proximity to the train station all the more important.
The medium always shapes the conversation. So yeah it's different from the real world. Maybe you don't see flame wars on Twitter. But do you ever see in depth discussions? Long form story telling? Even 2 way discussions are rare, though they are possible. Twitter is optimized for the quick joke, the announcement, and the reaction comment.

You can use Issues, which comes in every project and can be linked all throughout your GitLab instance. They also integrate with merge requests and can be used 'Kanban' style by using milestones.
See our own for GitLab's issues: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues

You can also integrate many of the popular systems, such as JIRA, Asana, Trello.

> The UI is a bit clunky in terms of navigation. For example, being able to move from the homepage level to specific project back and forth is a bit confusing. Would love a re-design of UI.

We're working very hard on this. The coming release will add more context to the menu and we're looking to improve it further both in terms of design, as well as UX.

It'd be great if you could share us your thoughts on how we can improve this.
> - For simple things, stick to wood-working, it's significantly easier and faster than 3D printing.

Or cardboard prototyping. Much less technology required, tools are much

cardboard), material can often be obtained at zero cost, and it's even faster
to work with than wood. It can supplement woodworking (or 3D printing) really
well.
I agree, we're using gitlab too and the only problem is the lack of ticket system feature (due date/alert reminder, multiple people assignment, advanced filters, simple markdown text editor for client, time tracking, edit default label for all project,...) otherwise we hightly recommend it.

Absolutely. In another article, Vestager is said to have the nickname the "Iron Lady of Denmark". Google can't buy her out. And as a stepladder-carrying woman in a leadership position, she's a formidable leader and icon that Google can't easily tear down or discredit.

If they try and break up Google though, I expect Google to leave the EU wholesale rather than comply.
Microsoft open-sources its Objective C implementation
If you are using ES6 class syntax, then I would think you would also be using const / let; and if you are using const / let, then FlowTypes is, for me anyway, borderline unusable because it still does not support them (although there is apparently a fork with pseudo-support, if you want to deal with that):

The script triggered a file dialog showing it was trying to access a local file. I opened the Developer Tools and saw all kinds of other files being accessed, including my private and public keys. I nearly got a heart attack. I quickly revoked all SSH keys and started monitoring the requests to narrow it down before I submitted the bug ticket with all the information I had, including the exploit script that was executed.

Still using Redmine for self-hosting here, Gitlab is too heavy for small teams. Thought about trying Phabricator but then its various components with strange names stopped me from trying, plus it seems clunky for small team too.

Either I'm misunderstanding this or other people are, because I'm seeing other people interpret this as saying Japanese law doesn't allow ownership of intangible things, which of course it does. My take on it is that this is specifically about a provision of bankruptcy law.

Suppose you lend (not give or sell) your car to a company that then goes bankrupt with the vehicle in its possession, and you go along to reclaim it.

The officials handling the case might say "Okay, let's check the blue book value of the car and you'll get your pro rata percentage of that money when everything is settled."

To which you can reply "No, you don't understand. I'm not saying the company owes me money. I'm saying that's my car, license number such and such, it doesn't belong to the company at all, so it's not part of the bankruptcy proceedings, it belongs to me and I want it back right now." And assuming you have the documentation to prove it, the law will support your case.

In this case the court has ruled that you can't point to a particular bitcoin and say that's my bitcoin, because bitcoin has the properties of money rather than of particular tangible objects, so all you can say is you are owed a certain amount of bitcoins. And so the owner of such will get his pro rata percentage after everything is settled, instead of getting the whole lot right now.

Am I understanding it correctly?

I disagree that you are the arbiter of defining what innovation is, and the rest of your comment is similarly far outside of the bounds of the applicability of your opinion.
So Vestager is a straightforward politician that is actually doing her job and has no other agenda than supporting local businesses and protecting the interests of the consumer?

This is fantastic. I wish we had some more people of her caliber in US politics. Reflects well on the EU that she was elected.

Excellent summary in the comment linked to from above. Fascinating.
To be honest, if packing a parachute takes an hour longer and increases the chance of living by 100* I'd say that's worthwhile. But then, I also wouldn't call 1/10000 an especially high risk. We face those sorts of odds just driving a car and they don't put many of us off[1].

If the probability of death from packing a parachute quickly were 1/100 then I think your argument would break down somewhat. Like I said, you should spend the appropriate time on something depending on the costs and risks associated with it. "Do everything fast" is wrong, but so is "Do everything slow".

[1] In 2003 the annual risk of being killed as a car user were 1/15261. http://www.medicine.ox.ac.uk/bandolier/booth/Risk/trasnsport...
If I put a valuable antique coin in a bank's safety deposit box and the bank closes due to bankruptcy, I could sue to get my specific coin back because (a) the value is in a tangible item that, (b) the expectation is that bank is storing an item that is still specifically owned by me.

If the bank was merely holding my money in an account balance, then I could not sue in this manner since I would be treated like any other debtor in the bankruptcy proceeding.

Someone tried to sue MTGox to get their money back as if they were in the first situation. The court correctly ruled that the plaintiff was actually in the latter situation and they would have to be treated like a debtor.

It'd be hard to achieve more masturbatory navel-gazing than the people running this company. This whole post could have been one sentence, "Like others, we've realized self-management just doesn't work because we are humans."

Hierarchies have been in the workplace for hundreds of years. In all of these experiments, there seems to be a hypothesis that hierarchy grows out of some evil fascist or authoritarian tendency. Maybe it is present because it works.

On another note, if I had invested in Buffer, I'd be keen to ask them what they are doing to grow their revenue instead of constantly jerking around their employees with organizational upheavals.
Sure, depends on what you're doing. For 3 years, I had a coffee table I had built out of cardboard. Nobody could tell it was cardboard until they touched it.
How about the analogy of robbing a bank vault versus robbing safe deposit boxes?

If half the money is stolen from the bank vault, everyone at the bank has lost half their money (ignoring insurance, etc). If the contents of half the safe deposit boxes are stolen, you don't distribute the remaining safe deposit boxes among all the customers; half lost everything and half lost nothing.
This is a very reasonable point. By the same logic, there should not be a single European action taken against Google either. The people behind all of the political resistance to Google in EU countries seem to all be from, or tied to, EU corporations who want to take some of the market from Google by force. They are trying to push through regulations that are good for their company with little regard to what is good for the people of all the different EU nations.

If you have a directory that you want to expose, you can set that up. It doesn't have to be just ~/Downloads/Firefox. If you want to expose something like ~/Documents but deny access to ~/Documents/Private you can do that. With a little effort, you can probably even configure a helper utility that toggles access on and off dynamically with a status charm in the notifications area.

"and so many women (the historical gatekeepers of sex and relationships, fair or not) began to hold out on local suitors because they didn't meet some platonic ideal they'd seen once somewhere."

Citation needed. Pretty sure women had standards before television and movies.

"If they'd wanted traditional relationships, they should've been friendlier and less aloof when they were being courted earlier."

Ah, the 'nice guy' argument. Plus a bit of generalizing. It disturbs me that you refer to women as 'they' as if they all collectively decided to ignore you.
Viruses are not going to go poof unless your antivirus knows about them
And in the typical case a vulnerability is a prerequisite for a virus.

But local vulns are only a concern if someone already has access to your system. In which case your usually fucked anyway. Which is why Apple introduced developer certs and gatekeeper.
see my edited response.
And all your organizations public/private repos? Not sure why it needs that.

Anyways, the game looks awesome, I've been playing with a similar idea for a while on and off.
As far as I can see, yes, you are understanding it correctly.

This discussion seems full of misinterpreting a term of art as something closer to colloquial meaning, and then drawing inferences from that. Such inferences by nature will usually be deeply flawed.
In the EU, it is illegal to copy a database of another entity even if it contains factual information (you can copy individual facts, but not a DB).

Next think you know kids are going to start talking to people online that they have met in person??

I remember when I was a kid and my parents found out that I was using their terminal/modem to call local BBSs. The did exactly what the news had told them to do: they told me that I knew I was never supposed to tell someone I met online what my real name was. I was confused but I nodded and agreed with them; the only people I had been talking to online were my classmates.

Aldebaran (the company that makes them) provides the robot with a default OS. The main problem is that it's not really efficient nor stable, so in general teams have to reimplement nearly everything. But to play around with it it's probably decently accessible - as long as you don't do anything really innovative. Aldebaran's website gives more info about it.
