"The situation is different for Android. Google’s version of Android, which runs on most Android smartphones and tablets in the western world, only implemented encryption by default with the latest version Android 6.0 Marshmallow released in October 2015."

That version of Android is only on a handful of devices, not even a full percentage point of global market share. Even on Lollipop and older devices that do support encryption, it has to explicitly be turned on by the user. And once again, Google is not expressly clear that they don't have your encryption keys on Lollipop and lower; they only claim not to have them for Marshmallow devices. They definitely have the keys to your encrypted data on their servers no matter what, which can include complete backups of your device.

Also, Debian is really lacking some more modern bug management / issue tracking system.

It might be useful to provide e-mail interface for it, but I fail to see why it also can't be managed from some site at the same time instead of limiting it to read only view.
Assuming this is legit (seems like it), mega bonus points for walking through examples on the various platforms/languages.

At that point, the whole conflict has become ridiculous. Who has the time to create a bot that automates creating accounts to spam, say, the N-word?

That's not even accounting for captchas.
Apple should be more clear that this is 5C and not the latest version.
One can make an RFID shield for a folding wallet fairly easily. Take a manila folder or something similar and cut it to tightly fit in the outside pocket. Cover that with aluminum foil, then cover that with packing tape.

Place this in the outside pocket of the wallet, fold it so the RFID shield covers the contents, and cards inside are protected.

Well, what is "learning to code"? I'd say you start to learn how to code once you actually start to apply some of the theoretical classroom knowledge obtained.

I think "learning to code" is marketed as going to some intro course website, learning the basics of some language and boom, now you can code.
If you don't apply this to a real world application or hobby project, you never really get to wrap your head around the problem solving and debugging that start to occur when you are on your own, which I find crucial once you are thrown to the lions.

If I didn't have the classroom theory, I would have been thrown out of every interview I can recall. And sure, from time to time I've had to pretend to know some terminology whilst secretly studying up on it right after, but having the foundation taught by professors have surely been a building block in "learning to code".

They're trying to kill me," Yossarian told him calmly.

No one's trying to kill you," Clevinger cried.

Then why are they shooting at me?" Yossarian asked.

They're shooting at everyone," Clevinger answered. "They're trying to kill everyone."

And what difference does that make?

If speed was a priority at restaurants, nobody would ever eat anything but McDonalds. Apparently speed is not the highest priority for food, at least for most people most of the time.

At more traditional retail, the cost of going to Target retail store is fifteen minutes rounding up the kids, sitting in the car for thirty minutes round trip, wandering thru parking lots and aisles for a half hour, waiting in line fifteen minutes, after ninety minutes of time a couple seconds at payment are a rounding error. If I'm in a hurry and not willing to invest ninety minutes to buy a frying pan, I can pull my phone out and amazon can deliver it with an investment of perhaps three minutes.

Your solar collectors are not operating at night either. Break even means having 10 square miles of solar farm and 1 square mile of dense indoor farming needs to be more efficient than 11 square miles of farming and that extra needs to cover infrastructure costs.

You can play with the arrangements of plants in a greenhouse just as easily as a factory. EX: Stacking plants using clear trays and nutrient bath allows for using more light in the same space.

Anyway, the reason why this 'works' is crazy subsidies in Japan which actually has quite a bit of farm land, plus a market for ultra premium lettuce for decorative reasons.

EDIT: Mine is a UX305FA, the one with less powerful Core M processor. It's slightly slower than my Thinkpad x220, which has an older i7. So it's not a powerful machine, and I assume less powerful processor means better battery life than the faster x305's that have come out since I got mine.
Surprisingly, Chromium is always up to date on the Debian stable release. Why can't they do the same for Iceweasel/Firefox? keep the ESR version and a version that matches upstream latest releases, but there's probably something I'm missing here.

I enjoyed this article, but one thing jumped out at me. He said that he hadn't redone the analysis behind the blog post he cited. Even though the data and analysis was made explicitly available.

This seems like it would be a good thing to do habitually. I appreciate that data if often not available for checking. But in this case it feels like it would have really strengthened the process.
It's a constraint imposed, by design, so that you view progress easily across projects. (i.e. view the progress of the frontend, backend, and UI team against a common epic)

Some of our users have extra steps in their workflow (for example, "waiting for app store review") that some of the project teams hide in their workspace (each column in the workflow can be hidden by an individual user).

In the future we might support different "departments" within an organization to allow for multiple ways of working, but it's not at the top of the list of things to do currently.
Slight digression here but "RAID 1 SSD" might not be a good idea, especially if you bought two SSDs at the same time. They are probably from the same lot. My experience with 3,000 SSDs in use is that they seem to fail with a combination of age and rewrites. So I would be concerned that two equivalently aged SSDs with an equivalent set of rewrites (as RAID 1 does) would be quite likely to fail at the same time, or more precisely, when one failed you probably have a statistically harder time recovering the mirror from the other.

That is just statistics of course, but one of the things I tried to do in the Blekko infra-structure was to mix the ages of the SSDs to mitigate this risk.
Apparently it is possible to update older phones like this. On newer ones, the OS in general is not an issue, since the security bits are handled by the secure enclave. I'm not sure what the software update policy is (it's only briefly mentioned in Apple's iOS security paper) but I'd wager that it's impossible to push an update to the secure enclave software without either unlocking it or erasing the crypto keys.

I don't understand what you're getting at with the "tool" question. Nobody's talking about building something that lets anyone with physical access replace the OS. The phone's secure boot system will still require updates to be signed by Apple. Apple can replace the OS with physical access. On older hardware, it seems they can do this without wiping the data. Do I want Apple to be able to do this? It doesn't matter what I want, the fact is that they can. Since they can, and since the FBI has a court order, I don't see what's wrong with requiring them to do so. If you don't want them doing this to your phone, buy a newer one with the more secure hardware.
How schools around the country are turning dead PCs into Chromebooks
Can someone explain this to me: if the data is encrypted, how does switching the operating system out enable one to read the data? I'm a layman in this area but I can only surmise that the data is stored unencrypted and it's the operating system itself that's somehow locked. If a change of operating system can open up encrypted data, then what's the point of encrypting hard drives or data sent over a network?
They usually have signs at the pump saying "No $100" notes.

Edit: At least in Europe you usually pump before paying by card/cash in the store. I guess it differs from the US because of the high crime rate there.
I would imagine there is a step change somewhere in causing brain damage. I.e., if your brain can withstand a 1.5g impact it can withstand any number of 1.5g impacts, but 2g or 3g impacts lead to cumulative damage.

Then again, I don't know what I'm talking, or where running impacts might fall in that spectrum.
With open source software, it doesn't appear that people can verify things are safe either given the long-term security issues with things like OpenSSL et al.
> There is a tradeoff between predictability and correctness. Where you come in on that tradeoff is pretty different from most other people.

Because I don't see it as a tradeoff between predictability and correctness, I see it as a tradeoff between correctness for past acts and correctness forever in the future.

If you know a law is ridiculous but you also know that a judge will see the same thing and then not let you do that, you won't do it. Some people like that result. The problem is it causes the ridiculous law to carry on existing and not be fixed, because nobody is willing to challenge it when they know they'll lose and go to jail even though by the letter they shouldn't. So then nobody ever knows what the law actually is because it clearly isn't what it says it is, but if it isn't that then what is it?

I've been buying Lenovo's for about 6 years and are mostly happy. I always buy a bare-bones version and add my own memory and SSD and do a clean OS install (after updating all firmware). A "new machine" is a 20 hour minimum time commitment so I don't do it more frequently than necessary. I always overlap two machines so I have backup.

I am due for an upgrade and was looking at the T460p. But I just read about the bad decisions Lenovo made regarding internal storage so now I am looking for something else.

At the risk of getting a few downvotes, I'm going to state that I'm all for outlawing cash payments for amounts larger than a few thousand dollar/euro.

Corruption and tax evasion are a big problem in Austria (as presumably in most parts of the world), and cash payments make them so much easier.

I just don't see a legal reason why I'd want to pay for a large purchase in cash. Almost all large purchases require some kind of paper trail anyway, so it's not like giving up cash means giving up your anonymity.

Am I missing something obvious?
Am i missing something but aren't safeboxs and vehicles already made "unlockable by design"?

I am positive banks can open those things, and vehicles are inherently "openable", so I do not quite get the point here.
Also we don't have to assume it because we know it for a fact - they are bad faith actors.
I think this would be done better as a private function that takes a conn, a method, an action and an expected response code.

No need to complexify things unless you absolutely must.
The RasPi touchscreen is way overpriced too. You can get a whole tablet running Windows 10 for a little bit more. Sure it will come from China and will be probably filled with backdoor but the cost is there.

Those are some nice metrics you have there. Shame if something were to...happen...to them...

You simply cannot trust Chinese government statistics at face value. Every level of government lies to make itself look better, because they are not accountable to the people but instead to punitive development goals that could have moderately successful bureaucrats uprooted and replaced in a nanosecond if they fall short anywhere.

China is the Titanic of nations: huge, ostentatious, and easier to snap than it looks.

Should and can are vastly different things. It's going to be impossible for me to make the business case to my CEO that we no longer support IE10 if 25% of our business travels through there.

Some people are locked in - their offices haven't upgraded and you run a B2B site (i.e. working with a government or slow-to-adopt business), you simply don't have the luxury of throwing away business just because they're not supported.

I'm all for everyone upgrading, but reality doesn't always match expectations.

> milk has quite a bit of sugar in it naturally

What?

I don't know what you are drinking, but milk is typically around 5% sugar; I wouldn't classify that as 'quite a bit'.

Additionally, all sugars are not made equal. Lactose has a much lower glycemic index (~45) compared to those of refined cane sugar (68) or glucose (100), meaning that it increases your blood sugar much more slowly.
Yes, that's what I meant with the triple s, and I do agree it's logical (if you read carefully that's what I was saying, but apparently, it was not clear enough).

As for the ß, I didn't know the exact new rule. At least, there is some logic to it. Now, for a Frenchman, it's not always easy to know when the vowel is short and when it's long, so that's the difficult part ;) (for instance, I would not have thought the a in Straße is long !)
When I forgot the password for my iPhone I tried untill it said "connect to ITunes" when I connected to iTunes nothing happened so I clicked restore realised I had not backed up my iPhone so I clicked backup hoping that it would backup but it said that I needed to sign in this then relied the boundary of not letting me type the password in or holding me back. So I have created a program that repeatedly does that. (There are no need for fancy backdoors)

Sure they could, if they wanted.

They do that all the time for not complying with edicts.

For those of you whom have never experienced it, even 48 hours in jail is a truly miserable and ugly experience, one that no corporate titan is interested in.
This is a misunderstanding of the claims in the article. They are claiming that exercise leads to improved brain function over the course of weeks and months, not that being tired right after doing exercise will improve brain function.
This is already kind of the case. Debian stable tracks the Firefox ESR releases, updating when a new one comes out. If you want the Firefox frequent releases, you get them with backports from the Debian Mozilla team (out of the main archive).

(For the more adventurous desktop users, they can also use Debian unstable for the frequent releases. Unstable isn't unstable in terms of your machine falling over. Rather, there is a lot of package churn, and you need to use something like "sudo aptitude upgrade --visual-preview" when upgrading to ensure that you don't try to upgrade something in the middle of a big package transition before everything is finished and ready in the package repo.)
It's not just the alarmist tone or the jittery pacing that makes this listicle unworthy of broad attention, it's the rhetorical errors as well. The author attributes this change to a war on cash rather than a global trend in response to common pressures and doesn't provide any strong evidence that governments themselves are driving these forces.

The selected links contain plenty of anecdotes but few balanced studies or statistics about why these changes are happening.

There's an interesting element of truth here: the world is moving to new systems of payment and cash use is declining, but the author is trying to frame this as dangerous without deriving a strong argument and is not clearly framing the status of cash. 1 stars for an interesting premise and a weak execution.
How are people going to buy drugs in the cashless future? I can't see it working.
Physical cash CAN lose value. Very fast too.

My parents lived through the hyperinflation in Yugoslavia in the 90's. The stories they tell are ... fun. Ideally you exchanged everything into deutsche marks as soon as you got it.

New denominations were being printed every few weeks because the currency was losing value etc.

Hell, even when we became Slovenia I remember that at first, the highest bill was 1,000. Just ten years later, the highest had to be 10,000 because the thousand one just wasn't cutting it anymore. It was too impractical for the prices.

For a more drastic example: in pre-war Germany it was more common to get mugged for bread than for cash. Wads of cash just weren't worth enough to bother.

They can add signs saying the sky is green, they still need to accept cash as long they are collecting a debt.*

*Fastfood / food trucks are different as you pay before reviving the food.

PS: Though they can ban you from coming back after this. And the payment needs to be reasonable. 10$ for a 9.50$ meal is reasonable a 100$ bill is not.
I don't know if they'll get a free pass or not, but Apple is a lot more popular among the Chinese youth/middle class/intelligentsia than Google. They may have a bit more sway.
Even if I would agree with you, there is an issue with POS where Visa/Mastercard/AMEX control the space, so the government is favoring an oligopoly in the middle of every transaction (with credit cards).

Also, you are playing against privacy because some corrupt people use cash, sounds a similar argument than prohibiting cryptography.
Not free, but open. I'd argue the latter is significantly more important than the former if you're trying to protect against the code working against you. At least if the code is open, you can inspect it and verify its operation.
