Exactly my scenario at work.
The canonical way people know whether they're authorized to do something to a computer system is that it allows them to do it.

This sounds reasonable at first but falls apart quickly. The nature of virtually every software security exploit is code that convinces a computer to allow you to do something that you shouldn't be able to do.

You are a URL bar away from many thousands of SQL injection flaws, right this very instant. By your logic, any exploitation of those bugs should be lawful.

I don't think hysterical blindness is an alternative explanation. It's what's going on here, but, it happens in just one personality. That the different personalities can have entirely separate conditions like hysterical blindness is very strong support for the separate identities being in fact separate.

In addition, the fact that brain scans confirm the psychological/hysterical blindness actually happens at a neurological level as well, proves this isn't a case of malingering or of a high-level psychological disorder. This is happening at the lowest brain level we are aware of.

Even with that evidence, I suppose one can still ask "but are they 'really' separate personalities"? And I think you're right that if it quacks like a duck and so forth, we might as well call it a duck. Another perspective: if we saw those personalities on different physical people - very distinct, both psychologically and neurologically - we would have no problem accepting them as different people. The only challenge here is that they occur in the same physical person. Perhaps that's not reason enough to dismiss them as separate.
I do this very thing myself and it just frays the cable in a different spot.

> But in a classroom setting, the students should feel free to debate the composition of the moon.

No, they shouldn't, and I'll follow-up as to why below.

>Very quickly, the proposal that the moon is made of Vince Foster would be dismissed as false. This is critical thinking in action.

Given sufficient rhetorical skill and sufficiently many appeals to "open thought" or "questioning assumptions" or "viewpoint diversity" - in short, various forms of postmodern denial of the external world and the strict rules for reasoning about it - a sufficiently motivated student or professor will manage to make "the moon is made of Vince Foster" the center of attention.

We are living in the same world, with the same academic institutions, which was fooled by the Sokal Hoax, and we are also dealing with the human psychology of social proof, in which giving time and energy to considering an idea in-detail is considered evidence for the idea's truth (rather than evidence for its vagueness or logical complexity).

We cannot allow academia to be consumed with discussions over whether gravity is a social construction, especially not because right-wing partisans feel that only mostly owning the field of economics means that academia is engaged in conspiracy against them.
OK when do we restart the software liability discussion?

Presumably Apple's design teams are well paid to keep producing all that value they produce, and the income taxes are captured in the US.
You are only taking a single observation in that example, making analysis through probability theory effectively useless.

Note that, probabilities of 0 or 1 are completely allowed under the theory and the computed value in your example is still consistent with my statement and probability theory.

An issue is that probability distributions (such as standard normal) don't exist in the axioms and so must be constructed from the axioms. So, a p-value test using a standard normal distribution is taking a shortcut that hides some of the calculations, making it appear that p-value is not actually counting a ratio, however, if you look at the full calculation from the axioms, p-value represents the ratio of agreeing observations to total observations. Basically, a single observation at the level of testing a standard normal distribution may actually represent multiple observations at the level of the math required to construct the full calculation (this entirely depends on the hypothesis being tested).
And I understand that stance, I'm trying to point out that if you have that stance, you should also condemn talking lightly about murder (which you might), and if you don't, I think that requires justification, or a reexamination as to why rape is treated differently than murder. It's possible that it may be because of people pushing a (well intentioned) agenda.

My personal view is that there is a misalignment here, and when these terms are used to describe something clearly as a metaphor then they should be treated similarly (or murder should be treated as the worse of the pair). I don't really care whether that means they are both taboo or both acceptable, but treating rape as taboo to use as a metaphor and murder as not is clearly inconsistent, given that murder is undeniably the worse crime.
I can't help it of you don't understand the concept of an analogy. The form of this one is good X:bad X::good Y:bad Y. We're not dealing with GRE-level stuff here.
> Eating a burger with shit in it will likely kill you.

Preferences for death or risk of death are not exactly unknown, so, while that may be true, it isn't sufficient to establish the universal preference you've offered it to support.

> Should I have said cyanide instead to get the point across?

No, for the same reason. The problem isn't the example, the problem is that the point is wrong; whether or not one believes that an absolute morality exists (in whatever sense of "exists" makes sense for morality), you aren't going to any of its contents through universally-extent preferences, just as you won't for food, because preferences aren't universals.
As an aisle-preferrer, I sympathize and agree!
If you don't like the decisions your parents made for you, once you reach the age of majority, you may undo those decisions.

I'm not sure why your decisions to renounce your citizenship should obligate the world to create the new kind of place you want to go to.

As for parents selling their children into slavery, I'm not sure why you're bringing that up. Citizenship isn't slavery.

As for your desire to claim to be a legitimate independent state, I'm sure you can do so. I wouldn't be surprised if you habitually do so right now. I can't help you with getting recognition from the rest of the world, though.

Yeah, threatening them to take the action of banning US incorporation is a bit weird. Even Trump is about fining the company that wants to move to Mexico above the tax savings rather than getting Mexico to halt the deal.
This argument has been put forward by other posts (currently) below, though less well expressed. If you read your first citation, you will see that Locke's reasoning was more complex than yours, and actually allows for people to live in a country without the state having authority over them. No one has ever made a solid argument for why all people born in a country are bound to follow its laws, or respect the state's authority, though many have tried (and Rawls probably came closest, though I admire the democracy-theorists for their creativeness).

The basic question is why the state has any special authority to claim the land and impose its will in the first place. Second, why are you (who may have been born there, thus giving you a presumptive right to keep living there) bound by previous agreements which may or may not have been legitimate to begin with. There are two questions which should be answered here:

1) Why can an individual not claim to be an indipendent state (and claim land as well)?

2) Suppose you were abducted (at night or as a child) and put on a ship which heads out to sea when you lack the capacity to take action, then you are told that you must obey the captain or leave. Do you have to obey the captain? If you disagree with the captain, do you have to jump into the ocean and drown, or try to swim to a different ship with a similarly tyrannical captain? How is the ship of state different from the ship described here?
> Apple HAS implemented strain relief here

That's not the same as implementing good strain relief. I used to work for a company that made medical devices. One of our products started with a cable with strain relief, and it kept breaking (a wearable monitor). We 'implemented better strain relief', and it kept breaking. It was revision D where we got it right and the cables stopped breaking. And if cables can't survive a 90-degree bend, then stop them from being able to be bent that far in the first place (we had to).

And to be fair, other companies don't have this problem, because they engineer their chargers for how people will use them - basically what you're describing is another form of "you're holding it wrong".

That's how business is done in places like Russia and China and in many very poor countries. Displease the government and face the full force of state power regardless of actual laws.

I prefer being subject to laws and having recourse to a legal system where i am allowed to challenge even the behavior of the government.

Subjecting corporations to capricious bullying when they do something unpopular is not "protecting citizens" - governments that act like that invariably also abuse individuals the same way.
The global KW object is just a namespace for the widget wrapper components. You'd have to reference the Kendo UI Core library and then the KW.js script before rendering your components containing e.g. <KW.DatePicker /> as in the readme.

Internally the Kendo library is going to maintain its own state and manipulate the DOM elements needed for each widget, and I only know a bit about how that works. Most of these wrappers only run render() once because React would throw all kinds of errors if it tried to diff the DOM inside the components.

Updates are handled in componentWillReceiveProps, and whenever the component can be updated with the new props without destroying and recreating itself, the updates happen via the Kendo API (after the wrapper checks if the new value is different). This means that for common use cases these wrappers should perform just about as well as the widgets do normally. Also every controllable setting is exposed as a prop, and the props are synchronized on every update. Props that are not passed in are reset to the defaults, meaning these widgets should appear stateless to the containing component.

The react-kendo project[0] uses some very cool introspection to provide full support for all the Kendo widgets, and it looks like it should be reliable and stateless. However it destroys and rebuilds the widget on every update. While that probably isn't going to be a huge performance hit it certainly makes a difference.

Actually, as soon as I saw the original post, I wanted to say exactly what you said. (and actually, I didn't because I know that HN is mostly a politically-correct crowd) HN does suffer from leaning to a 'politically correct' narrative.

As a technologist, I absolutely love debates about (for instance) whether a startup should adopt Scheme or Haskell as a competitive advantage.

But any kind of debate that veers off the liberal politically-correct agenda on HN gets downvoted or hellbanned into oblivion. What you've said is absolutely true: "The silent majority is the biggest political and social problem of our time." HN, despite its enormous contribution to Silicon Valley, is a blue-pill population.

Kudos to you for saying it. The emperor wears no clothes.
There's nothing wrong with what is being said here. Except that there are just as many "climate" issues that woman and people of color have to face, if not more. This person is cherry-picking discussions about race and gender and saying "it's horrible that climate issues are making it difficult for these white/male students from participating" but the same level of outcry doesn't exist even though in almost every other field you can say the same kind of thing: "it's horrible that climate issues in computer science are making it difficult for these students of color" and the same people are silent.

And I realize I am doing a form of derailing right now, because the matter at hand is white boys being heard. But we're actually talking about white boys being heard during advanced discussions of race and gender. And honestly I feel a little bit the same about it that I feel about girls being heard during advanced discussions of parallel CPU architectures. I wish there were more women who were in those discussions, but I don't think the solution is "just let them participate even if what they say is totally ignorant".

Frankly, most white boys are not skilled enough to participate in discussions about race and gender. It's not that there's anything inherently wrong with them, the pipeline is just letting us down completely. Most of us get almost no education in race and gender, while girls and people of color get it for free just because of their gender or race.

The solution in my mind is the same as the solution to getting more women and other disenfranchised groups into computer science. Everyone just needs to take a little bit of responsibility for the part of the pipeline that's one step upstream from them. You can't just have boys who have never thought about what colonialism actually feels like diving right into university-level gender politics classes. But as a university professor I think you can support summer programs for teenage boys to help them do really basic level gender analysis stuff so that when they do get to college, they can actually participate meaningfully with the girls, and not be seen as second-class citizens just because they have less direct experience.

We shouldn't think of these boys as "bad gender theorists" we need to broaden our understanding of what gender theory is, and make sure we are creating opportunities for disenfranchised novices to get involved.

But this naive affirmative action approach OP is advocating, of "just make sure the boys participate equally" is not taking the problem seriously. Proper affirmative action requires you to get in and take responsibility for your recruitment process and the social issues surrounding it.

> It is because people don't behave themselves that we do need laws.

And it is because people don't behave themselves that we do need computer security. So "if only the law was effective then we wouldn't need computer security" is no more accurate than "if only computer security was effective then we wouldn't need the law", except that laws have the fundamental disadvantage of not applying to attackers outside of your jurisdiction, which means that we will regardless still need computer security.

> The CFAA was enacted because existing wire fraud laws don't cover non- remunerative offenses, which are most serious computer offenses.

Why it was enacted has very little to do with whether it is a good law.

Sorry, unless I'm missing something your reasoning is faulty.

Related to this, the Debian nss package removed the SPI CA today, in version 2:3.21-1:

https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-changes/2015/11/msg025...

This has been planned for a while now. Between Let's Encrypt and StartCom, Debian and SPI don't need to run a CA anymore, especially not a CA that only Debian systems trust. Several Debian sites used to use SPI certificates, back when HTTPS seemed like an optional nicety. These days, every connection should use HTTPS, so Debian sites need to use certificates that all browsers trust, which they can easily do now.

SPI actually got an offer to cross-sign their root so that all browsers would trust it, but the consensus was that SPI didn't want to take on that risk given the availability of multiple other free CAs.

Wonder what would happen if the 500 kHz signal would be fed to an antenna? Would that emit a signal, would it not work at all or become dangerous and probably highly illegal?

Did you read those linked articles?

From the second one:

"But the testimony by the three wealthy businessmen from Texas, Oklahoma and Virginia also showed that the agents had reason to suspect they had come across a $300 million tax fraud in one case and a drug operation in another.

Holes and contradictions in testimony by two of the businessmen prompted Senate Democrats to complain that the hearings were not a search for truth but a one-sided propaganda show by Republicans, whose polling data show that attacking the I.R.S. is their best strategy for raising money and winning votes."

That's not a simple failure to pay taxes.

And the first article, the rapper was not jailed, he did have a bunch of stuff seized to pay off a $300,000 debt, however. No mention of a dog being shot, no mention of anyone being tazed.
