TL;DR (2014):

Feb: Understaffed Tor minimized security warning. "Activity in the past has looked suspicious at the time, but ultimately did stuff that helped advance our art."

May: CMU researchers announce breaking Tor, ignoring potential ethical violations. Blackhat talk cancelled; CMU & FBI begin 'not the droids you're looking for' responses.

Jul: Emergency fix to Tor to block CMU vulnerability. CMU researchers stop corresponding with Tor project.

Nov: FBI crackdown

Glad for the FBI. Getting something like this in place is a massive undertaking.

These organizations are all clamoring to get this sort of thing in place, it's a serious game changer, but it's frankly hard as hell.

I hear a lot of people suggesting these guys are dragging their feet on FOIA requests because they don't want to release their documents. So wrong. Anyone who has worked with large government or private sector document management knows the problems here.

No one (except really young organizations) has the centralized infrastructure in place to make this easy. They're looking at huge amounts of legacy systems, decades worth of warehouses filled with paper records, millions of new e-mails created daily. None of these systems are effectively integrated.

The company I work for has one of only a handful of FOIA systems being shopped to the government right now, and after seeing the hurdles going on here I can tell you first hand that these backlogs aren't because people are dragging their feet. We've been doing ECM stuff for 30 years now, and whenever we come into an organization like this it takes us ages just to help them sort out how to connect this stuff together.

But it's totally worth it. Every organization so far that has managed the move to an electronic FOIA system, despite the slight uptick in requests, has taken a huge bite out of their FOIA backlog just because electronic centralized systems make the FOIA response process so much easier.

Again, congrats to the guys over there. I'm sure this was incredibly hard to put in place.

Node.js: Annotated Tutorial
That's like saying I should be able to turn off the lock icon in the browser address bar for HTTPS. Those spinning gears are there to tell the user that stuff is happening, even if they might not be aware that they requested something to happen. If you can turn it off, then every piece of malware is going to tell the user that they can't use the app unless they turn that off. And then they have no protection, which is the exact opposite thing that Apple wanted.

If you let anyone turn it off, then effectively you've let everyone turn it off.
Website Design looks awesome, but i feel the domain name is quite lengthy.,
I wonder what is it about overlapping instructions that seems to confound even well-established (and expensive!) disassemblers like IDA Pro, since it's basically a solved problem; a long time ago, I wrote a disassembler that would just attempt to disassemble all the paths, and if instructions overlapped then it presented the alternate "streams" side-by-side until they merged together again. The first example would come out looking like this:

40100E jz 401011
401010 call 8B4C55A0 | 401011 mov eax, [ebp+0C]
| 401014 mov ecx, [eax+4]
401015 dec eax
401016 add al, 0F | 401017 movsx edx, byte ptr [ecx]
401018 mov esi, 70FA8311 | 40101A
40101C

This was in the early PC/XT days, so it handled 8088 and .COM files only, and only needed ~128KB of RAM to run (I remember it also swapped to disk(ette) when needed.) I probably still have the source (in Asm, naturally) and binary somewhere amongst all my 5.25" floppies...
I've seen made this sort of public/private university distinction before, for the purpose of generalizing (humorously) what kind of person you are, and engineering schools were declared to be honorary public schools. So, not necessarily, in fact, I'd wager probably not.
But it shouldn't have sailed. Frameworks need to keep up with the times. That should be a benefit of frameworks. Should be possible while preserving backwards compatibility.

> When police were created, it was largely for basically racist purposes, even if the "races" under consideration in many locales were "Irish" and "Italian".

Ok, but I think this is a reflection of different races falling en masse into different social classes. If you're in Italy and your city has natives, gypsies, african laborers, jews, and persian merchants (note: stylized example, not necessarily reflective of any historical events), I'd expect the police might be called into being as a defense (or, depending on your perspective, offense) against the gypsies and africans, while at the same time people largely didn't care about the jews and persians (from a policing perspective). They'd be dealt with more by the taxing authorities.

If the police were an expression of racism, I'd expect something different.
Sorry if my comment drew lines, that was not my intention. I just wanted to highlight a particularly vivid memory I had at a very impressionable age which has helped contribute to my desensitized reaction to this - the lack of which I am a little worried about.

That’s not the same edit. In one case, you’re appending to the document. In the other, you’re appending to a child element. However, appending “a fallacy” to the document in both cases would produce different results due to text positioning.

I think if you want #1, you need an isomorphism between documents and their appearance. This article only asks for a homomorphism, where different documents are allowed to produce the same result.
How's Docker security these days? Wouldn't there be risks of exploiting remote code execution vulnerabilities in the old browsers, then finding a way to attack the host from within the container?

Especially given that, if I'm reading this right, all users within the container have complete, password-free sudo access: https://github.com/ikreymer/netcapsule/blob/2ff2f5d74fb517ee...

I guess an attacker would also have to get the malicious code into one of the archives somehow, but that should be possible, right?

>You do not have a right not to hear ideas you don't agree with.

There's a lot to unpack in your comment, but I want to focus on the above. I believe you do have a right to filter your input, and indeed, we can do and MUST filter it because there is so much of it. Certainly my right to speak should not trump your right to not have to be listen.

I think that the galling part about the safe space thing is that people are going to places which are designed to be not safe (in that sense) and then demanding everyone stop doing what they came there to do. It's like walking into a bar and proclaiming "I'm an alcoholic and you're all harming me by drinking in front of me!" That's stupid. But I, for one, don't want the stupidity of a few to somehow lead to a world where I'm forced to listen when I don't want to.

> That policemen don't assume all blacks must be guilty of something?

I believe this is closer to the truth, but that's not what the flagged comment was getting at. His blanket assertion was that blacks committed more crimes than whites.
> There are almost 47 million people living in poverty in the US

Look at the definition of poverty and you'll agree it's certainly a form of poverty, but again compared to the majority of the planet doesn't really cut it.

Living paycheck to paycheck is generally an unfortunate choice or lack of education, but the point remains that there's a paycheck.

And I can certainly agree that the culture of credit/debt isn't the best.

> Just because the average American has it much better than the average African doesn't mean their situation is necessarily very good.

I completely agree, it's not good at all. I think this underlies my point at the beginning that we need to give even if we don't have $45B. Our ability to generate the paycheck or our ownership of assets on average outstretches the vast majority of the planet.

Mine seems pretty smart, and plausibly in the height percentile to be headed to WNBA... but not really counting on returns, and she's the most labor intensive experience in my life so far :)

Easy access to debt is another economic asset that most of the world does not have.

If you can feed yourself by going into debt, then you have purchasing power. You need something (except if you're a student) to guarantee the loan.
> Activist investor Starboard Value LP last month called on the company to halt its Alibaba spinoff and instead find a buyer for its Internet business. In a letter to Yahoo, Starboard said its position changed following the federal government’s decision not to rule on whether the Alibaba spinoff would incur billions of dollars in taxes.

Does anyone know anything about Starboard Value LP? What is an activist investor? The term itself screams adversarial. Do all CEO's have to deal with this? I can't imagine having to both plan how to pull a company out of the water and have to deal with people outside of the company who think they know better.

Here are the main things I wanted in a migration tool which I couldn't find anywhere else (at least not all in one tool):

* Ability to create/drop database (super helpful for test environments)

* Read database connection string from an environment variable so I don't need to specify it on the command line or have a separate configuration file.

* Automatically load .env file if it exists.

* Write migrations in pure SQL

* Use dates for migration versions

Goose supports many of these use cases, but specifically it doesn't support create/drop database, requires a separate configuration file, and appears to require hacks if your migration files do not contain only simple SQL statements separated by semicolons (i.e. stored procedures / triggers).

A surprising amount of electronics can be fixed just by opening it up and looking for a blown fuse. Replace the fuse, turn the thing back on, and see what happens. About 20% of the time, the fuse will blow again (at which point you're in shopjimmy.com territory). But usually everything's good to go and you can chalk the blown fuse up to gremlins.

The same thinking that led to building Facebook or Microsoft or any other technology company won't work for solving socioeconomic issues.

Bill Gates tried 5 or so years ago to solve the problem with education with his tax shelter non-profit:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/answer-sheet/wp/2014/06/...

Test scores showed that everything he did had no effect on the scores or grades of the student. Each school he built had Internet access the latest in technology, special trained teachers, smaller classes, personalized learning, etc.

If you ask me the technology can be distracting, I only say so because my son is failing chemistry because he doesn't study enough because he is distracted by Youtube videos and video games.

When I was his age I was using a calculator and my father said it was a crutch that I wouldn't be able to do math in my head, and he was correct on that. I could only do math on paper because that was the way they taught us. I have to use a calculator to do math, and the technology distracted me from learning how to do math in my head.

Sadly, the process is often to ship to Africa or China and just dump it.

I am well-aware of Starboard Value LP. The hedge fund is behind combination of Office Depot and Staples, changes at Olive Garden, etc. They are activist investor typically acquire influential stake in small-to-midsize company, take board seats and try to push changes that may increase shareholder value.

I personally don't hold anything against them. They seem to go after management who get too comfortable in their role. Activism seems to be the primary way now hedge funds create Alpha.

The theory that African Americans are being shot by police because they are black is not supported by data. About 50% of deaths at the hand of police are white and 30% black. Of course that means blacks are overrepresented compared to their percentage in the population. However, adjusting to blacks' higher crime rate shows that in fact whites are 1.7 times more likely to be shot by police. Policemen are well aware of potential political fallout when dealing with potentially dangerous African American subjects and think twice before shooting.

They're trying to spin this as a "good" thing but I believe the reason they're doing this is more selfish: they're trying to stop people from making multiple, slightly different FOIA requests on the same topic and getting back different censored results. On one request, some parts might be censored, but on another that part may be uncensored. By making multiple requests you can open more and more windows on the actual document.

Here is a 2013 article on someone cleverly abusing this tactic [1]. With the new system in place they'll be able to spot and prevent these tactics more easily.

Again. The gear is there to tell you something specific is going on but most people don't care about that. So of course it should be possible to turn it off for specific apps that you actually trust.

This is only an issue with Sandboxed apps not apps outside the app store. And it wasn't an issue until Yosemite.

Not sure why you keep insisting on arguing against something that isn't what is being suggested for a solution.
"Activist" typically refers to investors who try to either obtain enough shares, or sway the votes of enough shares, to get seats on a company's board and enact a specific agenda they want. It's often used pejoratively to refer to investors who want to gain influence just long enough to reap a profit from gutting the company, leaving other investors with now-worthless shares in the husk they leave behind.
Ships from Liberty, Texas. So you know it's good!
An Activist Investor is an investor who purchases a not-insignificant stake in a company in order to pressure the board into making a decision that will make that investor a lot of money, generally in a very short period of time. The high-profile investors tend to want to shutter the company completely or to downsize immensely. Basically gut, maximize profits for a quarter or two, and sell.

Biggest example is probably Carl Icahn. He's well known in the tech world for trying to do these types of things to Apple, Netflix, and Dell. Not sure about the others, but Netflix actually has a Carl Icahn rule that prevents any one investor from gaining too much control. If I remember correctly, Icahn sold his stake almost immediately after the rule was put in place.
I like Zuck. He seems to have picked the right role model to follow (Bill Gates). I just hope he cashes out before a credible competitor takes over.
