Scraping sites for email addresses isn't illegal or we'd arrest Google. It's the spam that's actionable. So intent to scrape email addresses to give to spammers doesn't constitute mens rea.

There has to be 1) believable intent to 2) commit an actual crime.

Your reasoning is circular without that - "he had bad intent so whatever he was doing was illegal which is how we can say his intent was bad rather than simply unsavory, etc."

There's no valid precedent for simply requesting a document being illegal, nor ultimately a security benefit from it being so.
Does anyone understand what's happening with Bernie vs. Hillary anymore?
I am missing what is happening, why so much talk and so much unclarity around the subject? Why the current voting system is so complicated (is it?) and how can it be corrected if it has flaws?

> But my point still stands almost all of AWS is being used to host monolithic kernels because the monolithic kernels(Linux, FreeBSD) have the features people wan't

The implication there is that they have the features because they are monolithic kernels, which is presuming the very thing being discussed. The only thing you can say without a lot more proof is that people use Linux of FreeBSD because they have features people want. Whether being monolithic is a causation or correlation with those features is not established (in this discussion) yet.
I've experimented with our own game engine and VR sickness. When the view doesn't accelerate relative to your real-world position, there is no issue. The problem starts when you're using external direct movement control, such as a mouse and keyboard. Moving forward and suddenly starting to move backwards is slightly uncomfortable. Rotating your head while rotating the mouse in the same direction is the worst for me.

It's the inverse of car sickness, and affects some people but not others. My coworker has no issue using full FPS mouse/kb controls within VR.
fake?
yes, really nice. I see there is a Discourse benchmark script, each Rails/Ruby project (like for example GitLab) could benefit from having this benchmark run with each minor version increment.

Why decode it? Take it at face value:

"I want to be clear: the accusations of criminal sexual misconduct against me are entirely false."

"I’ve dedicated my life as a journalist, activist, and longtime member of the Tor Project to advocating for the transparency of public processes and to speaking out about the necessity of privacy, security, and anonymity. These are ideals that I will continue to uphold, despite the vicious campaign that is currently being waged against me."

This guy spent two years in foster care when he was a kid. That kind of adversity, in my opinion, rears character.

I agree with you, and before reading yours I wanted to write a less theatrical comment in the same line. I figure people like Appelbaum are making tech a hostile environment for women to work in, like a vicious circle.

The thing that drew my attention was the public comment he made about giving head. Because why would anyone want to work with a person who behaves like that? He probably knows how to pick an audience, but the real explanation came at the end of the article:

"People like Jake can be found in other places (...) Wherever power imbalances, hero worship, and secret-keepers intersect."

And those are places that independent people like to avoid. And that might be an explanation for why so many people never heard of stories like that in their surroundings.
That's a totally fair point. I'm not entirely sure why most third parties are still using ~ in their documentation but it still seems to be the norm. I do like the definitive nature of -all.
I wasn't but even if I was it isn't shameful at all - it's how justice works in Western societies. Someone is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Allegations are just that - allegations. If there are a wide variety of them independently from different people, then it's more likely that there is something to them but that still doesn't mean you can just rush to judgement. That way lies Duke Lacrosse, Mattress Girl and A Rape On Campus just off the top of my head.
Perfect being the enemy of good enough, etc.

Also its a bit unfair. Given this attack, design a perfect defense. OK here's an easy one. Oh OK well that works, but they'll just try a different attack. Well yeah, but that wasn't the initial challenge provided.

Also precomputed rainbow tables aren't so funny when you have gig wide columns instead of hash wide columns. For that alone its an entertaining idea.
When the police and justice system collects information about clothing, sexual history with defendant, alcohol and other drugs, they do so because these are legally relevant facts to establishing a narrative that's otherwise often too lacking in material basis.

The police and justice system wish to know these facts so they know the strength of some legal narrative and what counternarratives can be supported. Wearing sexy clothing fits a narrative of consensual sex. Sexual injuries fits a narrative of sexual assault. Drug use damages the credibility of any party. Prior relationship with defendant can fit narratives about the likelihood that someone might agree to sex.

These are facts that defense will ask, and it's best for the prosecution that the police ask first on their terms to control the progression of fact discovery, as opposed to letting the defense ask first on their terms.

Why not be interested in what the man was wearing? Maybe because the prosecution, in anticipation of defense strategy, thinks it won't matter. The job of the police is not to act as a neutral 3rd party to the justice system, proportionally investigating claims on the strength of their merits. The secondary job of the police is to set up cases for the prosecution, even if it's unfair to the defense. The primary job of the police, and any agency, is to establish its own credibility, robustness, and scope as an agency. Note that I am speaking descriptively, not prescriptively.

> Just because repeatedly telling your colleague that you'd like to fuck-them-oh-please-why-won't-you-fuck-me isn't technically rape or something that can be elevated to a criminal charge

Seems to be pretty textbook (not just "in theory", but "as applied in practice") criminal harassment; the only reason that it normally wouldn't be subject to criminal action is because usually between work colleagues, the fact that the threshold for workplace civil liability for sexual harassment is so much lower than that for criminal harassment in this area would result in workplace action resolving the problem before it reached a criminal level (or without anyone feeling the need to escalate to involve police even if it had reached the level it has.)
> it's my understanding Go exists as a simple language on which to build larger programs, not as a "one true way" language with everything included.

I agree. However, there is a big difference between libraries and frameworks. I believe frameworks are an antipattern in any language, not just Go, but Go's emphasis on simplicity makes frameworks for it especially grating to me.

Rather than poorly summarize, I'll link two of my favorite articles criticizing frameworks; one is humorous [1] and the other is more serious [2].

Cool tool. I'll have to play around with that and see how it goes. May end up adding it to the article :)
I certainly agree with that. I don't however agree that it invalidates the possibly good work that he has done in other areas. (As I explain below, that's what the article seems to claim.)

Well, there is a bright side to all this.

Social engineering is still the easiest, most successful approach to breaking any security infrastructure. Intelligence agencies have a long history of using sexual-antic-related blackmail as a lever against their opponents.

But if nobody cares, it becomes somewhat more difficult to apply the lever.

I wrote this a while ago. I have SPF, DMARC and DKIM all implemented on my mail domain and I still get put in the spam folder:

I think part of it might be that I use Linode, and there are other spammers in their data centre, so I could just be on a subnet bad list. But I think a lot of it has to do with Google/Microsoft's spam filters just being crazy over aggressive.
If your chivalry is killed that easily, it was not worth much to begin with.
Glad to see these new regulations... the Section 333 exemption process is/was a huge pain, and these rules also seem much more reasonable (mainly, you don't need to get a "real" pilot's license, just a remote pilot certificate, which will presumably be much more relevant for UAV operators). I think it's interesting that you have to report any incident with more than $500 of damage. Is the FAA going to investigate every time someone flies a Phantom into a tree?

Quick edit: I'll leave my last two sentences there for posterity, but turns out you only need to report if there's $500 of damage, excluding damage to the UAS

I'm not dogmatic about either. 1000 microservices sounds... excessive. I was countering the point that optimizing for speed might lead to less maintainable infrastructure.
I'm with you! I complain about this a lot. You go to an article looking for say "A recipe for Kombucha" and, instead of a recipe for Kombucha, you find 6 paragraphs about how great Kombucha is and how the writer's kids love helping them make it and how easy and fun it can be and why it's good for you and stuff.

NO. I came here for a Kombucha recipe not to read this fluff crap.
No - a pure function is a function that has no side-effect (other than heat loss).

You are talking about referential transparency. Even functions that are not pure can be referentially transparent.
I'm starting to understand your position a little better.

You're against someone being open when they disagree with something, whether or not their position is valid?

Generally speaking the longer someone has been in a specific field, the lower the probability of them thinking of a new method or agreeing with new things. This is a general pattern across the board with anything ews, startups, projects, etc.

As somebody working with a lot os startups, having somebody with 30 years of a specific core competency on the founding team is a huge red flag.
The speed at which a big data set is processed has nothing to do with the language or its' compiler. It's the way in which the data set is streamed through memory by a particular program. Go offers two standardized interfaces for this, `io.Reader` and `io.Writer`. Also, if the data set can be batched, it's trivial to parallelize processing in Go, while it's a big hurdle in Java.

A JIT is not a performance feature per-se, either. It can be used for runtime code-optimization and -specialization which can improve performance. Some JVM implementations try and do this as well as they can automatically. The stuff they optimize, though, is exactly the kind of indirection that doesn't exist in Go in the first place.

The optimizations `javac` does are one of the few things that allows Java code to run at a competitive speed. And they're mostly trading space for performance, hence the unusually large memory footprint of Java applications.

It's probably more representative of the fact that the vast majority of people actively avoid dealing with LEOs for a laundry list of legitimate (for the avoidee) reasons wheras trash men are "normal people." Trash men also spend their day around equipment that can easily kill you if mis-operated.

Both spend a lot of time standing on the side of the road but far fewer people will perform absurd traffic maneuvers to pass a cop that's stopped in the right lane. IMO it's fair to infer that minute for minute standing on the side of the road behind a garbage truck with orange lights moving a trash bin is more dangerous than standing on the side of the road in front of a cruiser with blue lights harassing a motorist.

You're just trading one VM for another, though. How does having a Beam VM environment differ from a JVM environment?

I think object is a very powerful idea to wrap "local" context. But in a network (communication) environment, it is still challenging to handle "remote" context with object. That is why we have APIs and serialization/deserialization overhead.

In the ideal homogeneous world of smalltalk, it is a less issue. But if you want a Windows machine to talk to a Unix, the remote context becomes an issue.

In principle we can send a Windows VM along with the message from Windows and a Unix VM (docker?) with a message from Unix, if that is a solution.

We definitely have some dependency cruft that could be trimmed (lots of relocated copies of Guava due to incompatibilities, for example).

We do frequent production deploys (of individual services, there's no such thing as deploying our entire application). To give an idea, it's a little before 1pm here and across our team there have been 180 production deploys already today.
It should be difficult to convince the system, it should not be easy. If it were people would 'hack it' to there benefit. See welfare.

True, a victim will face the emotional hurdle and trauma. The system is unfeeling.

People these days mostly avoid confrontation. Going to the police is confrontation by proxy, and when it takes convincing to get them to take action, a beaten down victim has quite a battle to face.

The world is unpleasant, it will always be so, it will always be full of suffering. We strive to do our best as a people to improve our lot in life, but that doesn't mean lowering your defenses. Always advocate peace, always prepare for war. Many rely on the system or 'it won't happen to me' mentality as to why they don't or won't protect themselves. You shouldn't have to train in self defense but you must. You shouldn't have to be aware of the situation, but you must. You shouldn't have to note the exit signs in an enclosed structure, but you must. You shouldn't have to cover your drink but you must. You shouldn't have to blend in so as to not draw attention from a threat, but you must. Our world is dangerous, we like to think it isn't, and it's so much easier to tell ourselves that we're a victim and deserve sympathy than to ask ourselves what we could have done to prevent this and defend ourselves. We want someone else to do it for us. A higher up, police, lawyers... do it yourself, defend yourself and your friends.
In short: Clinton has already won, but a few people haven't realized this is basically true.

Clinton both has a strong lead, almost 400 delegates, of pledged delegates who MUST vote for her at the DNC. In addition, she has over 500 more superdelegates who have stated they intend to vote for her (out of about 700 total, not all of which have voiced their decisions yet). Superdelegates do not vote until the DNC, and can vote for whoever they want.

Theoretically, if Sanders could convince enough superdelegates to vote for him instead of Clinton, he could still win, even though the popular vote is against him. But between the popular vote being in Clinton's favor, and the fact that the Democratic establishment prefers Clinton anyways (many of which are those very superdelegates), this would be an almost completely unheard of scenario.

Sanders is likely mostly staying in the race at this point to get a chance to soapbox at the DNC a bit.

Of course it's not reasonable to conclude that he's telling the truth on the basis of her clothing. But my point is that it's also not reasonable to treat any mention of her clothing as off limits. It's just one piece of evidence.

If a woman is raped, and the guy claims it was consensual, do you think a woman should be able to point out that, "if I had any intention of sleeping with him I wouldn't have been wearing those underwear?" Or should that piece of evidence be excluded because clothing is never relevant?
I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but it sounds like sarcasm.

1) It isn't actually obvious that if you can train a model faster this will allow you to get better final accuracy. It obviously allows you to get to a result faster, but only by being able to do many of these experiments and learning from them are you able to translate faster training into better accuracy.

2) The research that allows the training to be faster (https://svail.github.io/persistent_rnns/) is actually really interesting.

I was going to mention QNX Demo Disk in my UNIX alternatives comment. I think I edited it out for a weak fit to the post. It was an amazing demo, though, showing what a clean-slate, alternative, RTOS architecture could do for a desktop experience. The lack of lag in many user-facing operations was by itself a significant experience. Showed that all the freezes and huge slow-downs that were "to be expected" on normal OS's weren't necessary at all. Just bad design.

It's a stupid code mistake, but you wouldn't say the internet is a bad idea because some website got hacked.

But if you're setting up a situation where server after server is constantly compromised because of hard to discern reasons, then yes, that is a bad idea.

Having a badly implemented internet is as obviously bad as faulty wiring and badly engineered highway bridges.
