I suspect this is more of a signalling game. Elites became socially liberal to distinguish themselves from the unsophisticated middle class, in a time when wealth wasn't a good signal. Now that everyone has a bachelors, the middle class is dying, and liberalism is trendy among those who would previously have been part of the not-college-educated middle class, I expect elites will become more conservative.

Though we really need to define our terms here, there are many dogmas associated with liberalism that are just as antiscientific as conservative dogma, denying the predictive power psychometric tests, the very, very large role of genetics in life outcomes and education, the implications of this on class, the obvious benefits of nuclear power and genetic engineering, the importance of modern agriculture over "organic" alternatives, the dressed up faith-healing that is alternative medicine.

Consider the economic model of academia - you apply for a grant, you do some work, if you get a useful outcome or not no-one really cares, you apply for another grant and if you play the game right you get a sinecure. In addition in many academic fields there are no right or wrong answers anyway.

Nothing like that really exists in the corporate world, which is results and return-on-investment oriented. You produce, or you're out. Such a world seems like a nightmare to someone who is used to the safe, cosy academic world.

Of course the elephant in the corner of the room is that academia only exists because of wealth generated by grubby commerce...

I not only see that: I specifically explained the expectation and how it was reframed into a new target above.

Your failing to see my actual concern here. I'm one of those old-school types that rate people on impact their work has first and how clever/funny it is second. The first, expected challenge had consequences with impact. Tackling that with effort even close to success would be praiseworthy & even contribute something new to INFOSEC.

The other thing is the kind of shit I do to coworkers and people online all day for fun. One I hadn't thought of and clever for sure but same concept. It's a combo of wit and sophistry that focuses on technicalities of people's statements who aren't thinking carefully about them. Outside policy and procedures, outthinking a statement has no impact at all.

So, as I think along both lines, I recognize it as clever trolling in the second category like I do 20 times a day. Similarly pointless. Just fun and funny. Then, acknowledge that the real target or challenge would've been more valuable. Implicitly encouraging people to go for that one in case we learn something important. You know, relevant to information security. Plus, I give highest props to people that pull off difficult or nigh-impossible feats.
Off topic, but to me this indicates a dev tool issue:

"Do you know what I like to do in that time? Unfortunately for you, the answer is not "fire up my IDE, get the build pipeline going, start a local dev server, ..

I pick my tools carefully, so that my hobby projects don't feel like work. If I have to suffer through slow tools, then they feel like work, and then what's the point in doing them? It's supposed to be fun.

So I basically use vim and bash as the IDE and shell scripts for the build pipeline. Everything works quickly and reliably, on any machine.

I realize that not every project has that luxury. But for personal projects, if it requires shitty tools, I'm just not even going to bother in the first place, and then there are no bugs to fix.

Suffice to say, the real point is whether people can compromise his apps with something that would harm their computer. So, let's rephrase your question, "What's the difference between convincing him to post a challenge string on his website and convincing him to arbitrarily modify code of apps he distributes to users?" Obviously, a huge difference unless he's a complete idiot.
I miss Delphi as well even though I never got to use it for anything professional as I was very young at the time.

However I do remember very fondly how I came to know about Delphi 2 (or 3?).

Somehow I met this guy in ICQ and started talking about programming and about these (back then) very popular programs for "hacking" your friends: Back Orifice, Netbus, Sub7, etc. when he then says that he's actually developing his very own trojan tool called "Hacker's Paradise".

Long story short, at some point he sends me the source code and starts to explain to me how it works.

Some time later time he realizes that there's much more future in actually developing a tool for sysadmins so he renames the tool "Master's Paradise"[1] and starts trying to sell it.

Sadly, I never knew or heard from him again, but I love that story because I was around 10 or 12 at the time and it seemed like magic to me be able to open the Delphi editor, drag and drop some buttons and have a fully functional Windows program at my fingertips. Just beautiful.

Also, the fact that I was getting source code from a stranger over the internet for a tool that would do such "magical" things as opening and closing the cd-rom tray of whoever you had the chance to infect, made me feel like part of the super elite hacker world (ha!).

I admit I don't understand the protesting against safe spaces. My university is probably one of the largest of my state and we have a safe space called the "wellness office". It gives out free tea, lip balm, hand sanitizer, and fruits. In the evenings it lets specific people from the LGBTQA+ spectrum come and talk about things. E.g. "Bisexual and pan sexualities" or "Queer men" or "LGBTQ People of color" would all have their own weekly schedule to meet.

I've actually been to a few to see what exactly is going on and what I found was that those meetings tended to talk about issues that are very specific to those groups and therefore there couldn't be much in the way of discussion for people not in those groups. It's not too dissimilar from a meetup of people who want to discuss specific algorithmic proofs in that it's a "safe space" for people in that field and in that education and the quality of conversation would be less productive for the people there if someone not in that field or education arrived and joined in with a bunch of confusion or lack of education about what algorithms are.

I really am confused because I've yet to encounter a "safe space" in which I felt that there was a plan to censor people or order people that they can't say certain things. Meetings hosted by the "safe space" at my university have come off to me as a space to intellectually discuss topics more or less pertaining to a demographic who would otherwise not have as productive a conversation if they had to explain what sexuality is. I've also experienced similar environments in editor's meetups in literature and research groups in STEM.

Could you provide me with a study or article regarding how the existence of an isolated space for the discussion of topics is wrong or bad? I don't mean to attack you or say that "safe spaces" are a good thing. I just don't see the difference between "safe spaces" for minorities differs from spaces of intellectual discussion in STEM.
Because you see where blindly following your instinct judgment, (even when conservatives glued arguments to them) got us. It might have been a good survival trait for ten thousand years - but the last 200 years, they almost got us killed.
So you become liberal- because you know your limits, you know how little you know, how wrong you can be, and how easy it is to stomp what could feed your family tomorrow into the ground - just because they didnt liked the color.

And yes, there are conservatives "technology investors" who dip there toe into tested tech and distribute it.
But they are never the guys to fling themselves out into the void without safety net.

The reason why i have become a liberal - though raised by extremely conservative parents- is because i was so wrong, so often back then.
Its not the usual youth rebellion to conservative realism dichotomy, quite reverse, the longer i live, the more i realize how destructive one can be with how little - and all that just for some retarded irk in my guts, that kept a monkey alive 20000 years ago? Better control that irk and let that strange guy in my neighborhood build his steam machines in the middle of the night.

I am sure this is a carefully considered opinion backed by an analysis of the anonymous user's work history, connections, technical competence, geographical location, and personality. And that you have offset this against your own to arrive at the observation that you are more "competitive for the better jobs" than him.

Apologies for the snark, but all of this is anecdotal data. Your analysis is unwarranted.

"there’s ample evidence of the professional class using its economic and educational capital to preserve its advantages"

i do think that this is a part of it. degrees and certifications are largely an exercise in compliance. that's not to say they aren't hard work, but that hard work is often busy work. what makes it hard is that it's not interesting nor informative and thus is kryptonite to the intellectually curious.

people who have spent considerably and pushed through that menial task of compliance have bought into the system that tells them that they are now more useful to society and, therefore, deserve elevated status in our cultural and literal hierarchies.

part of left-leaning ideology is a belief that the smart and well-educated (the intelligensia) are better able to make decisions for the body politic than the chaotic "invisible hands" of various complex systems left to their own devices.

with that in mind, the question can be re-phrased "why are people who have spent a large amount of time and money to increase the perception of their own value to society more willing to give authority and power over to those who spend a large amount of time and money to increase the perception of their own value to society?"
The problem is that religious fundamentalist, xenophobes, racists, misogynist, and bigots took over conservative movement. It is not that republicans and conservative thinkers endorsed these people but they made them comfortable under "conservative tent".
But slowly they took over everything: and Trump is result of that.

So maybe the right question should be: what happen to conservatism in US?
So how many languages do you speak? And no, english + some latin language doesn't count as "many".

There are many ideas which are impossible to express in english because it's not only lacking the words but the culture itself. Calling for standardization on a language is calling for the death of cultures you do not understand.

And while that's not "racist" as it's not about race, it's quite literally xenophobic. You're afraid of something because it's alien to you.
Feedback on our software
It awed me as well. Plus, the performance and such gave me inspiration that homebrew might be an answer to non-subverted computers post-Snowden. At least, for the bootstrapping phase of other computers, SCM/builds, or key storage.

Only thing was that a HW guy told me the TTL chips he used might be hard to come by. I looked them up and had trouble finding them. So, rather than cloned, the next Magic 1 should be ported use components currently available... preferably 10 year horizon. Also, ideally something fabbed at 0.35 microns or above for visual inspection. Plus realism, as we're practically cheating if you're using deep submicron for "hand-built, old-school" systems.

What kind of primitive components are you using or found consistently available?
For me, Scheme's main advantages are its elegance, ease of programming, clarity, and power. This combination of attributes make programming hard things easy.

Another advantage concerns the ease of implementing new language features. As a Scheme user, you don't have to convince the language authors to bless a language feature you're interested in and then wait for them to get around to implementing it. You can just do it yourself, using Scheme itself, and it's arguably much easier to do that in Scheme (and other Lisps) than in any other language. This ease has led to Scheme quite frequently and regularly absorbing interesting features from other languages.

One other matter that should be clarified is that while there are some minimal and tiny Scheme implementations (especially those designed for embedded development), the modern, popular Schemes are full featured languages with extensive libraries, and the newer Scheme standards have been moving towards a more "batteries included" approach.

In a meet-up I can actually call out the BS of the presenter or at least thoroughly ask honest questions. In a safe space, even if my question is honest and to the point, its validity is determined by the state of mind of the responder. So, that is there. The concept of safe space is nothing new, people usually call it home or club. But to impose safe space in the center of town square is the problem.

edit: also safe spaces promote acceptance of dogma over free thinking, which Universities claim to be centers of.
Hopefully, this one is more informative, than another one from couple years ago, which was disappointingly untechnical (and SQLITE is not a trivial piece of software, despite what one may think, just try to understand the semantics of error handling when it comes to rollbacks, for example).
Nietzsche's whole opus documents this quite well. You can google him or look him up on amazon maybe.
> “If the company benefits more than the consumer, I would call it ‘evil design,’” said Mr. Nodder, who wrote a book on the topic called “Evil by Design.”

That is stunningly poor reasoning. It doesn't matter whether a company benefits more than you do as long as you are not harmed. Not all games are zero-sum. Thinking you should be getting more or equal to the other party is not harm, it's envy.
I'm also not happy to add tons of tags in struct fields. Can you provide an example on how to do that?

After pondering self-described conservatives and liberals for decades now, I've recently concluded that they're more or less the same. Both groups seem to highly value their families and seek to promote their interests and protect them from threats.

The only thing that seems to differ is the definition of 'family'. At one end, the definition is more strict and exclusive (with a family of one being the most extreme), and on the other end, the definition is less strict and inclusive (with a family of everyone being the most extreme).

Very nice write-up. Several years ago, I took a graduate class that covered NEAT and ended up doing a little project [0] to see if you could apply similar ideas (recurrent nets evolved via NEAT). My idea was to use it for multi-agent control problems, though, where you want agents to try and "teach" other agents whenever they learn something useful.

AKA, frisson (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frisson)
To be frank, I think it's because those who are highly educated often believe they know what's better for a person than the person does; economically & politically speaking.

I'd say it's more that they think they know better than tradition. They have the best reasoning skills and the most formalized evidence, which are of course better than generations of trial-and-error and heuristics and stacked biases.

In terms of acceptance of minorities, especially (gay, trans or just ethnic) I think that liberal mindset comes from an academic need to include minority opinions into discussion.

With the history of things like women having to write under male pseudonyms and people with the wrong opinions getting shut out ("scientific progress happens one funeral at a time"), this probably comes from somewhere else. I'd say it got fashionable somehow and then got stuck in a positive feedback loop.

iTunes. It's become a mess. In the old days it was so simple to manage an MP3 archive. It would even properly export ID3 tags.

These days what I want is an MP3 archive in the cloud.
Hold my mp3s, not your pre-licensed copies with different

Frontiers in language learning tech – how to learn Chinese today
"One day, millions of people will wake up and find themselves locked out of access to a large amount of digital content that they "bought" with the original licensor demanding some additional money to re-unlock access to that material."

Well, we now live in a world of yearly and monthly software subscriptions, so I don't see how the secondary market has any fighting chance even if the license terms we see these days were too onerous for the courts one day as you predict.

Take software that used to be sold in an oversized cardboard box with glossy print (how I miss that smell of a fresh software package), sell it via a created account on a Web site that signs you up to marketing spam, put the word Cloud in the name, make it hella more expensive in a short term contract versus a lump sum yearly payment, maybe throw in an obnoxious tsr that reminds you of updates every two days and pops up ... ta da, Adobe Cloud.

The onerous license terms may change one day, but our wallets will still suffer along with our pride as we pay the Adobes of the world for their killer apps. So, they have to hold up their end of the bargain finally. It'll still be hard or impossible to subvert the loading of the software so you don't need to log in online to use it. I just don't see this secondary market.

I'm not sure I'll ever understand how Oracle was able to acquire Sun. For the little money involved it seems even Microsoft should have wanted to own it.
Interestingly enough at the safe space I went to, there was heavy discussion over whether BDSM should be allowed to be considered an alternative sexuality comparable to homo/bi/pansexuality. There was heavy disagreement and productive debate over this topic in a "safe space" for bi/pansexuals at the university.

I don't understand how there was dogma over free thinking in this context. I keep trying to understand where my experiences with things labeled "safe space" align with a rather big voice on the internet and within my peers that "safe space" meetups are somehow oppressive or regressive to ideals and communication. I wouldn't be offended that there exists literary workshops that I cannot attend or that there are physics conferences I wouldn't be welcome in because I know nothing of physics.

Could you suggest a "safe space" for me to enter and observe for myself that would better align with this issue? I understand there aren't any serious surveys or academic study listing experiences of "safe space" and their repercussions so I've been trying to seek out and gather my own data.
