In other words, an opportunity to understand why you procrastinate and build good working habits.
Funding a secret lawsuit against a company to try and destroy them for outing you as being gay is not good behavior. This has dangerous precedent for freedom of speech in journalism. If what Gawker did was illegal in outing him, he should have sued for that. If it were just morally objectionable, he should have called them on it and let the public decide how to respond.

What this lawsuit says is, "say something about a rich person that they don't like (even if it's perfectly legal or maybe even in the public's best interest to know), and they'll fund covert lawsuits against you to destroy your entire business." That's not a world I want to live in, regardless of what I think of Gawker (they're the internet equivalent of The National Enquirer in my eyes.)

We're taught this as children, "two wrongs don't make a right."

Most Hacker Newsy Hacker News Comment Of The Year Award
The EU deregulation agenda disguised
No need to give the judge a reason to throw it out on grounds its demands exceeded the requirements of the law.
It’s because they used data from the public to train their models.

If, suddenly, someone would apply the fact that copyright bans remixes to training of neural networks, and apply the fact that licenses for this have to be granted explicitly, Google would lose 90% of their advantage over other companies.

Personally, I’d be for making a requirement that companies open source their trained models if the training data contained data supplied by users, not paid employees.
The problem with all of these responsive grid systems is that it's so easy to do a grid in plain CSS with flexbox and media queries that they're close to zero added value in almost all cases.
They sold us the healthcare-for-fee model back in the 1970s and 1980s, and that failed to contain healthcare costs. They are trying HMOs now in Switzerland, and it doesn't work to contain costs. Universities with large medical schools should be in a position to serve as integrated providers, yet you see rarely see them offer such plans to their employees. These are observations from reality.
That is not the lesson here. It is that a backup should not backup the encrypted data, but the unencrypted data, and have its own encryption. A simple rsync based bashscript can be fine for that, though I'd use borg.
Because I am free speech absolutist which means defending speech that I don't like.

There were other ways to nail gawker - copyright infringement comes to mind.
He probably thought he had a backup:

> "All my backups were the encrypted data, so those didn't really help either."

My guess is that the "bad encryption" simply was replicated over his "backup".

If you can't go back in time, a backup is worthless.

AudioAddict | Full-time REMOTE or Denver, CO, USA

- Senior Backend Engineer (Ruby / Rails and Go)

This is a permanent with a thriving music company building the infrastructure that powers DI.FM, RadioTunes.com, JazzRadio.com, RockRadio.com, ClassicalRadio.com, and other expertly curated internet radio properties.

We’re looking for a senior backend engineer who is a well-rounded generalist, understanding everything that happens behind the scenes of a well-performing web application. The ideal candidate will be able to manage their own time (read: working remote isn’t for everyone) and is comfortable taking initiative in a small team.

We're a midsized (~30 full time employees) organization where almost everyone works remote from wherever they are around the globe. We don't watch the clock or mandate any set schedule outside of occasional (teleconference) meetings - we're just looking for kickass work. We're great about ensuring you're set up with whatever you need to make your home office work, and music isn't just our business, it runs in the blood of the company - we're DJs, audio engineers, performers, and more... all supporting streaming of great music to a fanbase who has been listening to us for more than a decade.

Our interview process is simple: An initial phone screen to get a feel for your background, interests / desires in the future, and salary needs; a 30 minute technical QA with an engineer; a 1 hour programming lab with an engineer; and a final meet-and-greet with various executives from the organization. All interviewing is done remotely.

More details and a full list of desired qualifications here - https://www.audioaddict.com/jobs

Feel free to email seth[at]di.fm or with any questions, or see the link above to apply.

Paywall: I read this as an ability to help in immunotherapy which works like a vaccine. I really am interested in what types of cancer this works with the strongest effect. They list soft tumors in Lungs.

The bellow citation seems to show that these are something that could work on all cancer types and is cheap. These are exciting times.

Now it will be another 5 years till we see this even in a trial for children? (Son and sister died of cancer and my daughter's 10 year old friend (same cancer as my sister) is in immunotherapy trial which we are praying for a miracle for her reoccurring brain cancer.

> RNA-LPX vaccines are fast and inexpensive to produce, and virtually any tumour antigen can be encoded by RNA.
Missing the point.

The power to ignore sleep would be pointless if it came with the downsides.

If I could lose the need to sleep, without any adverse health effects? Awesome. It's a shame that that's not currently possible.
I think it is unfair to extend this specific experience to all personal fileservers. And TBH, I think that encrypting the storage shouldn't be done on this level. Setting up the OS that runs owncloud to have encrypted data volumes is the better way. If encryption is needed at all for taht.

Transport encryption between the various devices and the fileserver is a must, however. But going beyond that is not something I would consider to be a good thing.

Good point, this is probably a contributing factor that I've overlooked.

Is there anything wrong with that? Surely that is an known risk when deciding to become a minority shareholder?

What is next? Maybe I can buy Apple stock because I expect them to launch a self driving car next year, and if they then don't focus on self driving cars I can sue because it is not what I expected?
Yes, but that was deliberately a joke.
Now, I agree with that. But it's not the argument other people are making. People are saying this is an attack on journalism, and complaining that Thiel could have bankrupted Gawker just by attrition.

Yeah, he could. But that was not in fact what he did. Gawker didn't lose by attrition, they lost a particular case they damn well deserved to lose.

On the other hand, Thiel says Gawker's former victims have been forced to settle for a pittance because of attrition on their end. That sounds entirely plausible.

Money matters in court, by default that favours corporations (including media corporations like Gawker, and their $200-million owner Nick Denton) over all but the richest of individuals. That's the status quo, now the media are upset that it didn't work in their favor for once.
Methamphetamine is an ADHD drug. I take it for my ADHD, with a legal prescription of course.

Ironically it's the most subtle and gentle of all the ADHD stimulants, at least at therapeutic doses. It has a bad reputation because of the abuse of illicitly manufactured meth available on the black market but it's completely unwarranted.
Bollea had a valid legal cause of action and Thiel backed the lawsuit financially...no matter what Thiel's motives isn't working within the confines of the law and availing oneself to their legal rights the complete opposite of vigilantism?

The fundamental issue here is that rich people can buy the law. It's not as simple as bribery, but it's nearly as effective. The only defense we have against that is when voters and jurors are educated and deeply suspicious of laws and litigation that are bought.

Of course what Gawker did was reprehensible, but I don't need a million-dollar lawyer to tell me that. And when suddenly there is a million-dollar lawyer telling me that, I have to guess there's some other endgame here. My guess is that Thiel is building a template for future litigation. And while it happens to be good for justice in this case, I doubt it will always be so. That is definitely a bad thing.

Having 2 local copies with local monthly backup for a year and an off site backup (CrashPlan) is the secret. CrashPlan can go back in time for issues like this.

As a Systems Librarian I did the daily (31 days worth), weekly (52 weeks worth), monthly (48 months worth) back ups with 131 tapes was a pain but it always paid off. I just had three machines and needed to go to my tapes once a day.

Dunning-Kruger is something pretty much everyone lapses into sometimes.
Every client would need to make its own backups, automatically. In such a situation it would be probably best to have two backups, those plus a backup of the encrypted data for the clients that fail to do the backups on their own. But you raise a good point: That's difficult to do.
Does anyone else get the sense that there is an increasing number of spelling errors and typos in otherwise excellent articles produced by otherwise excellent publications? Most are small and trivial, and exactly what would get past a spell-checker, but not a capable proof reader.

I'll have to start making a note of every article I read and see just how many do have such errors - it might just be selection bias.

No. Vigilantism is extralegal. A lawsuit is by definition not vigilantism.
Among my interest groups, it only found a niche among the old-school renaissance RPG bloggers, people like Eric Tenkar of tenkarstavern.com. I logged in, and those guys are still posting on Google+ regularly. I rarely go there, however.
Maybe he did so in secret because he didn't want it to be framed 'billionaire vs journalist'

Perhaps he felt that he was wronged by them and that may be petty, but it doesn't mean that the lawsuit he did participate in is unjust or an unworthy cause.
So the US courts are so corrupt that going through them is considered vigilantism?

In-transit encryption is a no-brainer.

The most secure (from a trust point of view, at least) method of encrypting file is obviously at rest, client-side.

Seafile uses that method, but fails on the implementation on some aspects.

"In-place" encryption versus "volume/disk" encryption both have major drawbacks and are hard to implement correctly.

In case of "in-place", the private key is a possible vulnerability (like leaving the key under the doormat).

In case of disk encryption, while it's mounted, it's worth nothing if (when) you are compromised.

I don't feel bad for Gawker at all.

I do, however, feel concerned that a rich person like Thiel can buy litigation. That's a highly dangerous capability. He's using that power for good in this case, but I doubt he always will.
Nah, they should just host it themselves. Bandwidth is much cheaper than AWS.
Yeah. I haven't squared it all myself, and I'm not sure I expect to. I do know that many of the oft-quoted passages are in the Old Testament, and thus explicitly superseded by the New. There are however a few troublesome passages in Paul's writings for sure…

No, because if you say zero and say that you will use a range if you have recurved an then disclosing a range itself violates the nondisclosure order of there particular NSL received. Explicitly arranging a coded signal to disclosure specific information in advance and then sending that signal doesn't evade laws that prohibit disclosing the information.

There's no problem with the proper statement though, the problem is when you follow through with it.
