I am not so sure. It is more like "JS barely runs a software that has a recommendation of 66 mhz CPU".

Just because you have a different opinion does not make yours right nor does it make mine wrong. I'll reiterate for you why I don't see any censorship here.

Bernd Höcke is "verbeamteter" Teacher. Beamte in germany are a special kind of state employees that get many benefits (1) but in return give up some liberties (2) and as part of their oath of office they commit themselves to a neutral political view in public and a very strict adherence to the constitution. All kind of extreme political opinion voiced in public are off limits for them - left or right. It's a contract that Bernd Höcke willingly and freely entered without coercion. He violated that rule in 2006 and was warned. He now violated it again. He basically violated his employment contract and for that he's terminated. He's still free to voice his opinion. No censorship here.

It's not turning out that way for Manchester United though. The Glazer takeover simply burdened the club with massive debt, did not change anything in terms of actually running the club, and nobody will ever pay 5-10x what the Glazers did. It just enabled them to siphon money out of the club (as well as using it as a financial dump for sketchy funds, but that's pretty common in the football world).

Leveraged takeovers are often simple cash grabs by plundering buccaneers.

Open Source accomplish exactly the opposite of what patents are for: instead of encouraging innovation by providing financial incentive (from temporary monopoly on selling said innovation) it discourages it because it basically ensures that you'll never make any money on your invention.

Maybe I'm missing something but there aren't many examples of truly innovative open source software - most of OSS projects even describe themselves as "Open Source alternative to [insert innovative commercial product here]"

Count me in on this as well. It's very strange because it's not a voice, but in some sense there is sound--I can "hear" when there's a rhyme, for instance.

I've heard it claimed that the reason some people think they dream in black and white is that there wasn't any color content at all (not even grayscale). They think back and can't remember any colors, and assume it must have been grayscale, because their waking consciousness can't imagine what it would be like to see something without color.

Similarly, it's hard to imagine how you could hear words with no voice speaking them (at least it's hard for me) even though we're experiencing it right now!

What is encryption? It's a method of denying access without the correct key (for as long as it takes for the data to become worthless - not necessarily forever). Actually destroying the data is one of the ways to deny access.

NB: if it were so easy, we wouldn't be having this discussion. So, apparently there are some mitigation techniques which help in case of weak passphrases, and make it not-so-easy, no?

It can't be encrypted with the same key as the rest of the harddisk, or it wouldn't be possible to increase it on a failed decryption attempt. But even if it is, you can always restore a previous state from backup.

To be honest, I still don't understand who the FBI can't brute force it (other than the time it would take), and how Apple's assistance could possibly help, if the encryption was done well.

Why Predictive Analytics Are No Longer Enough
Part of the purpose of training for a doctorate (and one of the things that they will test for in a final viva examination) is to demonstrate the responsibility to not claim something to be true when you don't have sufficient evidence. So therefore, people with doctorates should typically say "I don't know" more often than other people.

I tend to like Jekyll for this type of thing, even though Jekyll isn't ideal either, because it also seems to be primarily oriented towards blogging or textual content. However it would be easy to create a comic-type post and a text-based posts template or separate the blog content completely from the main/comic content (which isn't "posts" anyway); you can do the same in WordPress, but it does require more hacking and wouldn't feel as "natural," IMO.

Yes, else this would be happening. The passcode is not the complete key, and there's a reason the Secure Enclave is named that way.
I wondered about that, but Bitcoin mining is increasingly dominated by a small number of big players, and they also have the hardware to do exhaustive searches on hash codes to find inputs that give the answer they want. I'm not saying its necessarily a bad idea, but its not immediately obvious that this is going to be harder to subvert than a selection of national lotteries.

This is really impressive, and also brings back waves of nostalgia as I used to use Windows 98 (and 95 and 3.11 before that) as my daily driver.

I like how the cloud icons at the side of Explorer when not in classic mode still are drawn with a white background even if you change the colour scheme.

On a real machine, when I look at this old system I realise how little we have moved on in UI terms or the basic needs and requirements of a computer. You could do 99% of what you need to do on an old computer, other than duff website rendering and horrible security and power usage.
It was a technical school with very practical teachers. The lack of "theorists" probably helped a lot. Most of them were either from the video game industry or 80's embedded developers. In Quebec (Canada), a technical school teacher unlikely is to have a PhD. Technical schools and universities are 2 different "level". You can take technical school (CEGEP) as a pre-university degree (or you can end there and get the equivalent of an associate degree). When taking a CS one instead of science, you "lose" 1 year, but it is much more fun. Too bad they replaced the system programming courses with web ones a couple of years ago.

All that to say that sometime, having real industry veterans as teachers really influence the teaching point of view.

I agree that "traveling to exotic places for business _can_ be great".

Don't know why you think I'm arguing with you, just having a conversation. I'm not moving any goalposts, I'm talking about my own experience from work travel to less exciting places, that are sometimes not easily explorable in a couple free evenings without a car.

In places like Paris & London it should be easier to have some fun. Although still you might not always be able to - sometimes you only travel for a few days & want to get the most of that work session, or e.g. want to go back home as soon as you can so you can spend the weekend with your spouse/kids.

For example I had a colleague visiting here in Berlin for one week, that required 16h of travel either way. When he came on Sunday (flight took off on Saturday morning in his original time zone) he was tired from the long flight and his flight back home was the Sunday afterwards. During the week we worked like mad in order to get the most value from the visit, so he had some evenings and one Saturday, in which I think he got to see some of Berlin, but not much (simply due to not really having a lot of time + being tired).

In a city less accessible he would have seen next to nothing. When I did the reverse trip to a small Canadian town with a metropolitan population of less than 100k people & no transit, I've not managed to do much sight seeing.
We covered it in the first quarter of the CS program at The Evergreen State College. After a few weeks of being introduced to digital logic, each student had to draw (with an application called Logisim) a simulated simple-as-possible Von Neumann machine up from logic gates and wires. Then we had to write short math programs for them directly into the RAM. Fortunately, Logisim lets you save components as something like functions or macros so it wasn't too repetitive. This project demo video by someone who took the same course shows what the result looks like:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8qEz4DwFIg

It was challenging, but it was awesome (and finding that video to illustrate my comment is a blast of nostalgia). It wasn't any harder than most other CS or other sciences courses. And after digital logic, the other CS topics aren't really prerequisite or especially helpful in learning how simple processors work. I really appreciated getting straight to the foundations of how computers work and building up from there.

It wasn't like emulating x86 in javascript, but it was CPU internals. Up until I read your comment, I just assumed this was standard CS stuff.

With re: music, I find I can go to full blown auditory hallucinations with a quiet room and relaxation - one moment you're imagining the orchestra, the next you're hearing it - and when I say hearing I mean it - indistinguishable from being in the pit.

Technically, it's obviously not just a 4-digit access code that prevents FBI to unlock the phone, otherwise they wouldn't demand Apple to produce the whole new version of their iOS and setup them special access only to enable that.

And even more important, the legal basis they claim to have is the "we can do anything" sentence from 1789:

Adding to your point: in a tribal culture within a "state" that began as some convenient lines drawn by westerners, when your tribesman gets into political power it will be expected of him to reward his tribe with jobs and/or monies from the public coffer.

When a common person needs help from above, he or she turns to the tribe strongman rather than a bribe-seeking policeman or bureaucrat.

While this may look like "corruption" to westerners, it is understandable in places that have different political histories than the west.

The kinds of permissions that can be granted to an application by way of entitlements is pretty brutal and go well beyond the permissions that people tend to think of applications as being able to have: there are entitlements for things like "can install other applications" and "can obliterate all data stored on the device". I'm not certain if some of these are blocked to applications of certain kinds, but I know that a lot of them are available if Apple chooses to deploy them.

The Linux client is pretty disappointing, to be honest. The only reason I keep using Skype is because of friends using it.
No, that is not the point. The post here is about Skype not working on Linux. If Skype is the only way to reach a person, that would be a real issue. Luckily nearly everyone still has a normal telephone number on which they can be reached. There are many options to dial to normal telephone numbers all over the world at very low cost. For voice communication, people should use established, vendor-independent standards.

Hopefully this helps someone else in the same position. Luckily I dont have to use Skype anymore.
