I'm a Brit living in Germany. A vote to leave the EU is likely to mean that I will need to apply for a work visa to stay here. It is more than likely going to cause me a major pain in the arse.

On the other hand I'm tempted to have the anti-EU Brits win and let them see what a disaster that will be for the UK, shutting them up once and for all. Then have them come back with their tails between their legs asking to be let back in.

Reality is that the result will depend on the major newspapers bias, namely Mr Rupert Murdoch. He is traditionally anti-EU, but that has previously been based on back room deals with different political parties promising him one thing or another. Since his fall from grace his power has been somewhat diminished, do it will be interesting to see how the press play this out.
The hold up is in negotiations from what I've read. Also the house of lords isn't too comfortable with the bill either.
from the disclosure:

> After examining the image from our July investigation, we discovered software capable of generating TOTP codes if provided a TOTP key. We found software implementing the decryption method we use to secure TOTP keys, along with the secret key we use to encrypt them. We also found commands in the bash history that successfully generated a one-time code. Though the credentials found were unrelated to any of the unauthorized Linode Manager logins made in December, the discovery of this information significantly changed the seriousness of our investigation.

so, it was an inside job then?
An open design for a trusted computing platform would not contain an arbitrary fixed signing key. It would instead allow modifying the trust root subject to some time delay or proof of work. It would be thoroughly documented, giving the manufacturer no special insight into the use or working that any other developer did not have access to. It would thus not be specifically vulnerable to attacks by Apple, and by extension, USG.

Apple believes that proper crypto can be used to provide the best security for their users, and Tim Cook may personally believe that crypto provides the best rights to individuals. But corporations operate in terms of what is legal. If proper crypto were made illegal, that just shifts the playing field for everyone. Apple would still exist and try to provide the best security they legally could - they don't have a mortal stake in this fight.

The Justice Department contends that the act of viewing a child porn image revictimizes the child each time the view occurs and is the basis for arguing that viewing child porn is not a victimless crime. Yet the FBI seized a server and allows such images to be downloaded and viewed thousands of times over a 2 week period. This would be like seizing the operators of an underground rape dungeon where patrons pay to rape children - and allowing such an establishment to run for 2 extra weeks to catch the patrons, regardless of any collateral damage that occurs to innocent children as a result. People would be up in arms over this. So, does viewing an image of child porn cause additional harm to the child in the image or not? Which is it? (This of course excludes instances where the viewer is paying/supporting production of the material)

I used to buy all my clothes from Land's End - easy, convenient, and "good enough" quality. After the Sears acquisition Land's End went from occasionally "iffy" to rarely satisfactory. Everything became the cheapest, thinnest, and most poorly fitting. At the same time, Sears went from having the wrong products to having poor quality products (like the Land's End they started carrying.) The "dumb idea" vs. "poorly executed" is easy for me to decide -- I'd say both.

I simply can't agree with this. It seems immature and grossly unnecessary.
Hey Julie,

Do you live in a state of perpetual nausea? Because there is so much code out there like this...I fear it could overwhelm your life to worry about it.

I think the best we can do is just fix the stuff we want to use and ignore the rest..
> There are masterpieces in this genre too. Take for example Dostoyevsky. Each of his character is a direct representative of a certain philosopy

I strongly disagree that Dostoevsky characters are created to be genre representatives by the way - the closest match to this kind prototypical categorization would probably be Devils (Or Demons depending on the translation) which of his works has the most political character hues - and I've read the various literary theory that pigeon hole Dostoevsky's characters in Devil's to various ideological/political positions - but in my own natural impression of the work this wasn't there and I am inclined to believe this is the author's of the related literary theory imposing what they would like to read form the work onto Dostoevsky's imagination.

It's hard to explain why exactly I think it reads so differently - but I would say my impression of the literary imagination and creative process is entirely at odds with the accounts that want to extract political or ideological positives from which these theories are built; it's not that > 'God is mandatory to ethics' is not part of Dostoevsky's thought process let's suppose it is - but I would rather suggest that the idea of agenda is foreign to his work (consider what is the agenda in for example The Idiot? -- to prove that natural goodness in people is useless and leads to insanity?) - and that rather the construction happens organically, my hypothetical recipe for imitation would be something like this: let us suppose some starting conditions and an ideological theory within a setting (suggested say by current events, or local conditions, or a real life individual) and then try to see how this character (with application of his ideological theory) develops in this setting. But this is surely a different process from starting with agenda and designing characters with the goal of convincing the public of a particular ethical or economic theory. Of course I cannot prove that Dostoevsky was not trying to convince the public of something - this is only my particular impression, but I would say two things point in favour of it - the literary merit itself - and the fact that despite the literary merit, rarely is the agenda ever clear or strongly convincing.
It reminds me bad cooks with cockroaches in their kitchen telling Gordon Ramsay that he is a pedantic asshole.

Sometimes some practice reflect the total lack of potential professionalism.

Before making money out of food, you care about not poisoning your customers.

And any cook refusing to respect hygiene rules should be barred from kitchen by any sane managers, because there is nothing you can do with them.

Same goes with some coders.

Fair enough. If Indiana can declare pi to be 3.14, I guess another legal body can declare explicit preferences to be anti-discriminatory. Laws require power, not logic, to be enacted.

Oh I understand why the RFC exists. But they should have put a bit more effort into it, and joveian should have made clear that it was a low-effort RFC, joke or not.

I'll be more clear about my earlier post. I realized the RFC itself was put out as a joke, but I couldn't really tell if the 128 bit math was bad on purpose or out of laziness. Or what the RFC author actually thought about using such a compact representation.
Well, there are some foolish companies out there that trust in 'social proof' as you put it, so it is possible to get jobs that way. By beholden I mean that if the only reason you able to keep a job is on the word of another low level employee, then you are in a perilous position politically. No one except your connection believes your social proof because there are a lot of expert beginner people full of shit in technology. If they leave the company you are screwed and would probably have to go find another job. Yes, it is more difficult to get a job relying on skills and marketing, but it is better in the long term.
What an odd coincidence? I had a similar idea yesterday. Except, I think your solution should be more general; A site that lets anyone pay to talk to an expert on any topic. The user should post their question and the experts compete to be selected; it is important that only the experts that care about the question are selected. Kind of like uber for conversations. I don't think it should be a TaskRabbit clone. The experts only provide information; they don't do the work.

For example, I want to talk to someone about selecting an alibaba manufacturer for a specific niche. I also want to talk to someone about how to get products into retails stores. And so on.

There are many related services. For example, you can have translators connect people. I think there is also a need for translators for people with poorly formed ideas; the translators would communicate with the experts who don't want to deal with those people directly.
What does Linux Mint do, especially given its modest popularity? I don't know about code but their website lists "Based on Debian and Ubuntu" as a "reason for succuss".

Oh crap! Those holographic storage cartridges I've been expecting for a a dozen years have been obsoleted by a new storage tech that will never come to market either.

Hopefully ibm will soon start to market their 3D write with lasers in gel like substance that will replace hard drives in ten years as they announced circa 2002-2003 .

Maybe not, and this new media release is no different than the others breakthrough storage tech we hear on a regular basis but are never turned into a reality.

What good would a media that last billions of years when 50 years later there is not a device able to read those discs ?
If a proprietary format then it will lack the documentation to be able to build a device to read the disc and interface with the computers of 2060.
If an open format and standard then how to keep the specs along with the discs as storing it on the discs would defeat its purpose.

Hopefully some investors will burn some money in this tech that will never come to light for consumers and will not keep up to its overhyped claims.
Any details on this? How did they reset it if iCloud is using standard encryption techniques?

Is it ever immoral to visit a country as a tourist? If North Korea does not fall into this category what country does? I can't imagine being excited about visiting Phnom Penh during the Khemer Rouge killing field days. Is visiting Pyongyang acceptable when conditions in North Korea are so deplorable?

True, but they have the infrastructure built, what stops them from extending it to consumers?
I generally agree. At best, my personal impression is that Lands' End isn't as good as it used to be. (Note that Lands'End isn't actually part of Sears any longer although there are still Lands' End stores within Sears stores.)

Having said that, Lands' End's drop in quality came during the same period that so much manufacturing was moving to Asia. I suspect that whatever corners Lands' End started cutting were the same corners that most of the other brands it competes with were cutting as well. And this may well have happened with or without the Sears acquisition.

The iCloud account was probably owned and managed by the city since it was their phone.

Also if the iCloud account in question was pointing at the perpetrator's work email address, the city would have been able to do an email reset.
You're right about the PITA, and they start out seeming like a wildly complicated and painfully documented dog's breakfast. I'm happy that .net CORE is moving to dynamic inclusion via "magic"

However, once you are used to CSPROJ, they're actually ok to understand & merge.

Additionally, if you're a c# shop, using msbuild & msdeploy gives you a lot more than hand rolling 100% of your compilation tools. If you stick to the framework, you save money.

Occasional minor merge conflicts around file includes are minor relative the the ability to step-through-debug the code and get project wide code completion via intellisense.

There are all sorts of lovely lessons and inspirations to be found in Science. I don't think there's anything wrong in that.

Disney? Ha! Ever read Aesop's fables? Native American Coyote stories? Moralizing is super ancient.

You do know that Science is the child of Alchemy, right? And that is nothing but gnostic moralizing, the pursuit of "gold" was actually the pursuit of a pure soul. By what means can we ensure our own place in heaven? How can we hack God with what's around us?

Part of the parcel of the human condition is pareidolia and nearly constant anthropomorphism. Personally I'm of the opinion that our swollen egos and reflex projection of our internal states on others and the outside world is the double edged sword by which we've staked our claim to our survival (and possibly our self destruction).
Agreed, except I would extend those numbers to 20 years. I loved receiving the sears catalog as a kid, especially the xmas edition. I bet a lot of it was tracked through computers even in that day.

Yes, there's no 'Renderable' typeclass but there are 'Primitive's. There are no laws that the 'Primitive' typeclass instances must obey but there are associated types that need to be satisfied. I tried to write this without a typeclass and I just couldn't get it to check, so I turned to TypeFamilies to encode the relation ship between types. I'd love to make it more idiomatic though!

Worth noting this is only happening because the British electoral system is broken.

A small anti-EU, right-wing party could have stolen just enough votes on this issue to turn the tide on the two party system result due to the brain damage of first-past-the-post[1], so the main right-wing party started this hare-brained scheme in motion to head that off.

This, in a nation where PR and full democracy is derided because... well actually mostly because the status quo benefits the powerful and well connected.

Footnote 1: just struck me what a misleading name this is. I've never seen a horse race where a horse with a similar color Jersey to you going faster, can slow you down.
I confirm that. In 1989 I talked out a stipend from the enterprise I wished to work for in the USSR. I thought my future is all set. What happened in 1991 was a complete surprise for me, and completely redefined my future.
I had no idea the 555 chip that we use today, is the same as it was in 1970. I would have (incorrectly) guessed that as time went on, that it would have undergone improvements/revisions as technology improved.

Yep, you're right. It's theft that's at 800% the national average.
Every time something ceases to be necessary, it turns into a bit of an art form. Consider old cameras, writing letters, painting portraits and so on. The fact that it's no longer necessary inflates its worth as a thoughtful gesture.

Of course, different people have different opinions about whether that's worth anything at all. You may have other preferred ways of communicating thoughtfulness.
I'll see to it that this is fixed.
Except that if you actually want that then it's more efficient to just charge $40 for parking than issuing $200 tickets to a random 20% of cars.
Historians are not machine learning algorithms, they are capable of deriving much more complex inferences. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't believe Santa Claus was a major religion.
I'm always curious with releases of Wine about specifically what new software can be run that couldn't be run with the previous version(s).

It's been a long time since I've done anything with Wine, but I'm pleased to see that they have a rather comprehensive wiki/application compatibility database at https://appdb.winehq.org/ that includes detailed instructions for getting things running. The last time I had a need for Wine, I ended up buying Crossover Office after nearly causing myself a bald spot trying to get an application working[1]. It's nice to see such a comprehensive source of help for those of us who are unfamiliar with the ins and outs of Wine.

[1] IIRC, the setup file was not possible to "just run", whereas Crossover gave me a "point it at the CD and launch the wizard" approach, though at a $60 cost. I'm not against spending the money, especially since they are actively involved in contributing to the success of Wine, but it's nice that it's looking like the product is becoming a lot less necessary for newbs like me. I guess I'll see how far the mileage goes when I get Ubuntu going on the laptop I'm currently loading.
Now if he had said it was an FBI/NSA agent, that would be believable.
Great input!

However, it's quite hard to get that kind of product off the ground. Easier to start with a niche and work our way out to broader subjects.

We actually started with ReactHelp.com, then went wider to HTML,CSS and JS. And now, we have Ruby, Python & Java experts as well, so it's going in the direction of more subjects.
"Programs such as this one do not, at least in my humble opinion, threaten the legal profession writ large"

I don't live in the US, but here's a story from Israel: a doctor I personally know was threatened by a relative of her patient, along the lines of "if he doesn't get well, I'll kill you." She told that to the police, who asked for the relative's name, and having heard the name, told her "be careful - this guy can actually kill you."

All is well (I guess the patient recovered), but I'm not sure she'd call herself "tough enough to deal with dangerous patients without using violence"!

Shakespeare's Badass Quarto
I was just listening to that episode this morning. They said that pencil sales had five years of consecutive decline — but sales of pens were actually rising.

That's coming off of a huge upswing in 2012, when pencil sales increased by 6.8%.

Definitely not the lowest in a century, in fact, the industry is much higher than it was fifty years ago simply due to population growth, even though per capita use may be down.
