As a Danish person, I am really interested in the process of packaging these CD's. Who burned them? Who was in the room? Who collected that data? Was it an intern? Maybe a secretary? That is some really personal information. Maybe I can register as a researcher and get access? I dont know, but I want to find out. Maybe there is a really sophisticated social engineering attack hiding in this story....
You are absolutely right. I stand corrected. He just really annoyed me and I guess it still stings.
Being smart in one area doesn't mean you are smart in other areas. People compartmentalize all the time.
I've read a few articles like this that start with the assumption that storage space obviously needs to be conserved. I always wonder what these people are keeping on their phones. I always buy the version of the phone with the least storage, and I do zero things to manage how much space I'm using and I've never run out. Is it like large offline media libraries? I don't spend a huge amount of time outside of wifi range and don't really have a problem just streaming everything.
> But bottom line is that if you have a stubborn customer who insists on doing things the hard/stupid way, there's not a lot you can do.

This is something most people who have never dealt with the US government don't understand, thus they put all the blame on the contractors. Many groups within the government are the epitome of the "customer from hell". They hire you to do a job, to build a product, but think that they (and their experts) know better how to do it than you. Essentially, all they want is a body shop to implement their design. This is not what most commercial outfits, particularly SV-type companies, are used to.
> The submissive person in the relationship has all the power; they are the one who gets to say "stop".

Maybe when you're into BDSM. You're right that authority comes from submission, but people submit to power. A gun, a hostage, a 51% voting majority.
I am saying that Europe had a golden opportunity to gain a strong foothold in the middle east

But I think that is showing some misunderstanding about the role and purpose of the EU: it simply is not and was never intended to be an imperialist engine. It is a trading bloc that primarily operates to harmonize markets, not governments.

The entire reason why Turkey had to jump through so many hoops to join the EU is because the EU isn't there to regulate governments: it requires a stable and open government to guarantee market access. Europe already has huge issues dealing with Poland and Hungary voting in parties with strong isolationist tendencies, do you really think the EU could have done anything to stop Erdogan's current direction?
I've been writing a desktop application with Kivy for the past few months. It has pros and cons.

The biggest con I have found is that because it's geared mostly for mobile it doesn't natively support multiple windows. There are work around to this, including the way that I solved it here... https://medium.com/@PhilipAndrews/the-kivy-frontier-multiple....

But aside from that it's so easy to get a reasonably good looking application up and running.

Would I recommend it for cross-platform app development? I can't say with confidence.

For quick roll-out or prototyping? Yes, definitely.

I really hope this community grows over time. The people working on the framework have been very responsive when I've had questions.

I think that's part of it, but there's also the facet that a lot of people just...don't care. Families, hobbies, etc are all valid reasons to live for outside of your employment. If the majority do just enough to get by and not get fired (which, as pointed out in other comments, is a pretty low bar in the government, as it is in many large large companies), then the system eventually converges into a sort of homeostasis of mediocrity, which is viciously self-preserving [1].

Great article. For me this is the money quote: “The culture is very persecutory. If something goes wrong it’s usually followed by a witch-hunt, and the result is very chilling. People are afraid to take risks.”

This applies top to bottom (and has nothing to do with the current rage between republicans and democrats). The 1400 pages of travel regulations are a classic symptom.
I would say at the moment there's still a feedback loop. Little girls somehow learn that they're expected to be not as good at math, and maybe they try less hard and give up more easily. Not to mention socio-economic backgrounds when you bring race into it.
Bunk. Illogical bunk from people who have no idea how this stuff works.

The iPhone didn't end the PC, the tablet didn't end the PC, the laptop didn't end the PC. All of these things are still around and all of these things are still used for a variety of purposes by a variety of professionals. The only people who ever come up with this "end of X tool" are thin users, people who never leave a web browser and are convinced because they don't need a dual cpu workstation with 64 gig of ram and four video cards to type their nonsense, that no one else does either.

So tiring.
The tactics used by ISIS are quite barbaric. But so are the tactics used by the US. The two are not equivalent, but I'd hope that the side with millionfold more resources would hold itself to a slightly higher standard.

What criteria would you impose upon a grassroots political movement in the middle east? Is it allowed to use force? Should it invest in smart bombs before proceeding to get involved in conflict?

There is a tremendous asymmetry of force between the US and ISIS. Both sides use propaganda, both sides try to scare and intimidate civilians into supporting their cause.

To claim that a suicide bombing of civilians is morally worse than a drone attack on civilians is to be completely deluded. That one side can afford to send in drones that are controlled by pilots thousands of miles away does not matter to the victims of the attack, nor do the details of the decisions that led a suicide bomber to volunteer.

The point is, attacks on civilians are always intended to break the will of the civilians to support their side... the goal is for people to be drifting off to sleep at night and to be startled and fearful at every noise, lest it is an attack (suicide bomber or drone).

It's completely unreasonable to expect ISIS to hold itself to first world standards (drones, smart bombs) when fighting in such an asymmetrical battle. The US itself throws out its moral standards when victory is uncertain.

So unless you think ISIS ought to just surrender and give up, there isn't really any other way for asymmetrical conflict to occur without one side using tactics that the other side's population deems morally reprehensible.

The absence of this obvious realization comes from the propaganda nature of all the news about ISIS. We are supposed to oppose ISIS because ISIS opposes US intervention in the region, and ISIS poses a threat to the US hawkish vision for how it wants to reshape the middle east.

As an American, I'm not sold on the idea that the US should be meddling in the middle east, and so I choose not to buy into the propaganda about ISIS. I do not support ISIS, but I think that all political organizations start out looking like groups of thugs and gradually become less violent and help with the basic needs of their constituents.
It's possible to make small corrections to the titles. In particular fix typos, remove words like "awesome" and "mind blowing" and change the case of the words.

I'm sure the mods would not complain if you change the title to "CVE-2016-4631 Apple Image I/O API Tiled Tiff Remote Code Execution Vulnerability"

The problem is if you add some editorializing like:

"CVE-2016-4631 Apple Image I/O API Tiled Tiff Remote Code Execution Stupid Vulnerability"

"CVE-2016-4631 Apple Image I/O API Tiled Tiff Remote Code Execution Vulnerability again for the third time in this wek"

"CVE-2016-4631 Apple Image I/O API are morons"

"CVE-2016-4631 You can't believe the bug in Apple Image I/O Api"

I'm using the definition of "conservative", which Wikipedia describes as:

> political and social philosophy [that] promotes retaining traditional social institutions in the context of culture and civilization

Everything I said is consistent with the definition of conservative. If you think conservatives are pro-gay rights or pro-equality, you are actually defining the word differently than the rest of us, and we're having a pointless semantic argument.

> Meanwhile you can of course argue that letting systems being insecure can become an asset if your "computer agency" can benefit from it.

At the levels being dealt with here, digital security laws stop being about ensuring good security. They become, almost exclusively, international weapons. The crypto export ban was about ensuring other nations could be monitored. So was the Enigma coverup-and-selloff. So was Dual_EC_DRBG, and so on the flipside are SKIPJACK and other secure products.

There's privacy and consumer security, and then there's real security. When some company loses a bunch of unencrypted passwords and credit card numbers, you're right that that should be illegal - just to motivate doing a better job. If you can get fined for obvious screwups then it's easier to justify paying some competent security people (and allowing researchers to help you out).

At the "actually secure" levels of operation I'm not sure it makes sense to talk in terms of simple domestic laws. Pretty much everything that gets done there is part of a bigger game.

They could still sell EE even if it's open source.

* Put up a few apt/yum repositories with the EE omnibus packages and charge for access and support.

* Offer private off-prem SaSS.

* Offer on-prem managed hosting for a premium.

* For a hefty premium let companies sponsor features. (i.e Company A needs feature X so they pay you to add it to EE).

The literal software isn't the thing you sell, you sell the ease of use and maintenance.

> using violence to impose their...

Isn't the US using violence (bombs, drones, etc.) to impose its version of things on the region too? I'm not sure how the two are different, other than that the US has a LOT more resources and can spend money on things like "smart bombs" that help convince Americans that we are carefully avoiding civilian casualties -- when in fact the goal is to scare the civilians shitless so they push back against local leaders, etc.

I'm curious if anyone here from USDS or 18F has deployed Postgres in a FIPS 140-2 environment, and if so what challenges they had. The VA seems to be saying that Postgres should not be used:

http://www.va.gov/TRM/ToolPage.asp?tid=5692&tab=2

contrast that with Oracle:

http://www.va.gov/TRM/ToolPage.asp?tid=9&tab=2

(Don't miss the difference in tone on the "Analysis" tabs.)

I'm sure some of that is due to lobbyists, but nonetheless it seems to me that there are legitimate challenges in making Postgres meet FIPS 140-2 requirements. I've been able to recompile Postgres to use the FIPS OpenSSL wrapper, but storing passwords with MD5 is a harder issue to fix, and of course there is no definitive list. Does anyone have some experience with this?

Alternatively, ask one of the thousands of developers that you employ, what they think could be improved. This isn't rocket science. It's just a dumb menu which collects settings into one place. You can send off an intern to ask around in the company what settings other developers would like to see included.

So, yes, something like this could have easily been a free lunch.
> No! The answer to an all male line-up is not a talk on women on tech by a women. The answer is diverse people in the line-up, talking about tech.

At the last US Pycon, where 40% of the speakers were female, there were a broad range of topics. Several female speakers did speak about "soft" issues like being a woman in tech, but many others also spoke about "hard" purely tech issues. There were also males on both sides of the soft/hard line. You can see the topics here:

https://us.pycon.org/2016/schedule/talks/

I don't think it's a problem to give soft talks, and I think Pycon is doing a great job of increasing diversity. It's not perfect and there's work to be done, but I really don't see soft talks by women as an evil to be avoided. If people want to give soft talks, let them do it.
As to whether Judge Daniela Barbosa acted wrongly, the Supreme Court has just rejected the lower court's decision, as they have every time thus far for WhatsApp bans.

But I hope that at least part of the conversation can be brought back to the issue of encryption in Brazil. This case is simultaneously also about whether encrypted communications are okay in Brazil, because the Brazilian government wants a company abroad to put backdoor features into their software. That means that no Brazilian may have secure communications without backdoors.

I cannot imagine that Brazilians trust their government anymore than Americans. I propose that any government will always be able to lift any privilege (aka right) in the legitimate or illegitimate pursuit of its interests, but that the citizen should not voluntarily forfeit their ability to secure themselves, especially with something as non-violent and social as communication security.

Also, even when a government is legitimately pursuing its interests in determining the criminality of a citizen, if Brazilian prosecution is anywhere near as hostile and adversarial as the US, then the Brazilian individual ought not voluntarily yield themselves to government investigation, even if they are innocent or righteous.
I think that we are confusing two different things here—the creation of new value (making a razor) and the transfer of value from one person to another (paying money). Both are value, but only one is the creation of value. Gillette creates value by making razor blades, their lock-in is a technique to ensure that more value (in cash) is transferred to them in exchange for the value that they have (razors). So value is not created for Gillette, but existing value is transferred to them.

My biggest one is "Arfcom" - ar15.com.

The General Discussion forum (www.ar15.com/forums/f_1/5_General_Discussion.html) there is my primary source for breaking news. The community is big enough there's almost always someone involved in whatever is going on, but small and targeted enough that there isn't a lot of arguments and tangents in those threads.

While it is a US-centric gun forum and very heavily conservative/libertarian, the community is far more tolerant of differing views than you would think. It's been interesting watching the older members adjust as niche groups have formed and made their presence known - LGBTQ people, bronies, furries, and anarchists off the top of my head. Finally, while you may get piled on if you post anti-gun views, you're not going to be banned for not agreeing with them. It's honestly one of the more tolerant and valuable forums on the net in my opinion.
If they could be easily derived, we'd all be doing it all the time. Spend some time doing it before you apply for your next job (or salary review) and you might be pleasantly surprised at how well the conversation goes. I linked to "How to Measure Anything" in another comment, and that's a good read - https://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Measure-Anything-Intangibles-Bu....

If you really can't find a way for your current job, then say how many downloads your open source project has got. Or how many comments or page views your blog gets.

This is sleight of hand. Even supposing all that "data" to be accurate, you assume your conclusion by acting as if you know what the reason for it is. But, as we all know, nothing is more highly disputed.

This is not the way to an open-minded and open-hearted discussion about the truth; it's a tangent to yet another generic ideological flamewar. That violates the HN guidelines.

How much of that platform can I actually believe? For example, one of their planks is "living within our means." The Republicans have been the party of fiscal discipline my whole life. Yet in that time, Republican administrations have grown the Federal budget deficit, and Democratic administrations have brought it down. Later on they talk about protecting the Fourth Amendment, yet the last Republican administration carried out a huge assault on those rights. Then they talk about supporting the troops, when the last time they had power they got thousands of our troops killed in a fruitless and idiotic invasion. Am I to believe that the party has completely reversed itself on all of these things in eight years?

Much of it is stuff I'm just plain opposed to, of course. "The Continuing Importance of Protecting the Electoral College"? Ridiculous. They go on about the importance of freedom of speech, then they drop this gem: "By whatever legislative method is most feasible, Old Glory should be given legal protection against desecration." So what is the Republican platform, "freedom as long as we like it"? Continuing on, they want to outlaw abortion, encourage coal burning, restrict marriage rights, and preserve our bloated defense budget.

Here's a real gem: "The Internet must be made safe for children.... Current laws on all forms of pornography and obscenity need to be vigorously enforced." How obscenity laws are compatible with their supposed belief in freedom and liberty is beyond me.

Yes, there are some good things in there. But not nearly enough to get me to see past all this stuff above, and a lot of it is just generic platitudes.

(And don't respond to any of this with "but the Democrats...." I don't like them either. Although I dislike them somewhat less.)
Unless you can tell something about the distribution of the quality of constitutional proposals, then the percentage is meaningless. Besides, it's designed as a document that is a scaffolding for the rest of law, and shouldn't require a high rate of change.
Why do you think these numbers are fixed? They can change, if there exists competency and a desire to learn.

You are also ignoring the effects of changing environment which those numbers disregard. For example, we know blacks disproportionately come from low income backgrounds with higher crime and a "rough" home life, which can affect a childs ability to effectively study and learn. That's not because they're genetically black as you allude, that's because they grew up in that environment. Your data does not capture or ignores this crucial variable and you should stop pushing it.
This is a really cool system, but is there some sort of conclusion rollup? Thus far all I can see is that it helps logically organize two sides of a debate, though thus far it's not helping me see how valid the conclusion is.

Being anti-gay rights and anti-Muslim are both conservative viewpoints, but almost no one is 100% conservative or 100% progressive.

When you say it's logical to "be Conservative" to move gay rights forward, I'd suggest changing it to, "be Conservative regarding Islam", which makes the assertion less fraught.
