Use Lakka instead of Retropie. 360 and PS3 controllers work great (plugged in—Bluetooth remains, as in most applications other than actual game consoles, a flaky PITA from what I've seen). I find the 360's dpad and face buttons unacceptable for retro games, but some people are OK with it. PS3 controller's pretty good. You shouldn't ever have a reason to mess with the mappings for either of those under Lakka unless you disagree with the defaults (unlikely, except maybe in MAME or something). Bonus for the PS3 controller is that the Playstation button works to kick you back to Lakka's menu, while IIRC the 360's system button doesn't (not accessible as an ordinary input), so it saves you having to use a button combo for that.

Lakka boots into Retroarch, which provides a unified I/O API to the "cores" (emulators) compiled against it. Even if you do manually map, you should only have to do it once.
It does not seem to be limiting incoming requests by IPs. So IPs does not need to be stored anywhere.

Laws often have the idea of intent. If the intent is to maliciously circumnavigate access control mechanisms, then that should be illegal. Requesting data that has no access controls should not be illegal.
Actually, there's loads of laws like this! I'd argue that if a user fetches the unencrypted passwords of users from a website that they shouldn't be punished at all because merely obtaining such information isn't harmful to anyone until it is used (in a nefarious way).

If I download a huge list of credit card/account details that someone accidentally exposed on their website have I committed a crime? Certainly not! If I use those account details to commit fraud (or similar crimes) then it's a problem.

Aside: If someone is able to pull unencrypted passwords from any company's database the real crime there is the fact that the passwords were stored unencrypted in the first place!
I can't prove that it should. Just providing a list of initial impressions from someone who has been using Clojure for a while, FWIW. It's necessarily subjective.

Seems like it would be a good idea though, since Clojure is a new lisp that has gotten a decent amount of traction in industry.

My takeaway is that there is new fossil evidence, which I think should excite researchers everywhere. Instead, the article ends on a researcher expressing cautionary restraint.

What am I missing? Is fossil evidence not reliable? Does this new evidence challenge conventional wisdom about human evolution?
If it's something you really want to do, I would say, don't think about it and just start.
One of the most powerfull tricks I learned is that things are never that good, when you start, but thats how it is supposed to be. Start somewhere, look at what is not completly awful, improve / redo whatever needs to be done. Failing is ok, if you keep going.

I do not believe I advocated for anything like that.

In this case The data was either Scraped via downloading the HTML pages, or used Facebooks API with the users permission. I believe that should be all that is required is the user permission, if the USER does something that is a violation facebook policy then the recourse should be banning of the User, and removal of all data for that user. Facebook does not want that however. So you see Facebook does not have to provide anything, but they can not pick and choose what a person does with the data they are storing about them.

That said there is one Data Service I do believe should be required, I should be able to request my data from any company to be delivered to me in some kind of Machine Readable format. XML, JSON, some other structured format. This could be only on Condition of Closing my account, or some other string attached, but I should be able to get access to this data.

No, not a straw man. Clearly, your answer to my question is "no".

Follow-up question: what distinction would you draw between exploiting SQL injection to access data stored about you, and violating a TOS and ignoring a C&D to access that data through a service you knew was not authorizing you to do so?

Parsing `ssh_config` is not implemented right now as well as multiple SSH keys for auth. However, it can be implemented easy.

BTW, I have not implemented it, because I think it's very bad approach in maintaining clusters, e.g. storing host names inside local ~/.ssh/config file. Hosts should have DNS records.

Fair point. This occurred to me as well after doing my initial post (follow up below).
What about the class of vulnerabilities that is due to missing or faulty access controls? For instance, is it your position that while SQL injection should be illegal, rotating the account number in a URL and using it to harvest the social security numbers of hundreds of thousands of bank customers should not be?
Ford said : "I fired all the experts because they always told me why things cannot be done". I call this dead knowledge.

Generally, good people are always willing to learn, and challenge themselves, and listen to others, and doubt themselves sometimes, but not too much, and act according to their values, and have a vision and enjoy life.

"This opinion is based on a fundamental misunderstanding of how the internet works."

Your opinion is based on a fundamental misunderstanding of how the law works.

Under the CFAA, to "intentionally accesses a computer without authorization" is a federal crime under most circumstances. If you don't have a written authorization from Facebook before you send your first HTTP request, you're already a criminal.

Of course, the prosecutors interpret that to mean, at various times, exactly whatever they feel it should mean. You can't tell in advance what that will be. But the judges and the jurors will pretty much follow whatever they say because they don't understand what happened. In that case, it's natural for them to just go along with whatever the FBI's paid 'experts' tell them.

That's how we keep law and order in a free country.

It's a well-written, in-depth article about a very technical topic that affects a lot of us daily, but few of us are aware of its implementation details.

Specifically, there is a fascinating section about how to actually charge a phone with a dead battery; there is nasty catch-22 where you have to boot up the OS to negotiate the amount of current you want to draw, but since your batteries are dead and the default un-negotiated current isn't enough to boot, you have to get creative.

Yeah absolutely it does - the omnium on the track features events, such as the elimination race, with all countries represented at the same time, as does the road race. The road race is particularly interesting as while it is officially national teams that participate, there also sometimes exist looser bonds between riders of the same pro-team.
Agreed. My advice would be to cultivate an environment where a subordinate can speak up and challenge a manager and not be threatened, fired, or feel like speaking up will hurt that person's career advancement at the organization.

And I'm not only talking about issues where a non-technical manager critiques a technical project. If a non-technical manager has a comment about a UX choice, it should be valued not because it came from a "boss," but because it came from someone who did not make it. Something that seems really obvious to the implementer will not always be obvious to the general public and that is where non-technical feedback, even from your boss, is valuable.
> Power had a clear signal that it's license to access Facebook's website had been revoked

Wait: When did accessing Facebook require a license? Shouldn't the fact that Facebook is publicly-accessible make that argument moot?

I don't think there's a good analogy to be made here. Facebook lets anyone use their service for free, publicly advertises it as such, and exposes loads of APIs to the world in order to facilitate that.

What we have here is a company using those APIs in a way Facebook doesn't like. So what? It's not like Power's access of Facebook results in any sort of excessive burden on Facebook's servers. It just isn't compatible with their business model.

Governments should never be in the business of protecting business models.

One thing that feels very old-fashioned about Emacs: the cursor acts like a hardware cursor on an old hardware terminal, even in the GUI version. Every modern GUI text editor lets you scroll away from the cursor without moving it. This is convenient if you want to quickly check something else in the file. Emacs will move the cursor so it's always on screen. It has no concept of scrolling without cursor movement.

I think you're missing the point. From the article:

> We ran circles around competitors who had teams of B and C players with security expertise but little else going for them.

He feels experience is negative (I'm guessing) because the experienced candidates only have experience. It is implied that they have no other team skills - just their knowledge of the area. It doesn't matter if you hire the world's foremost expert; if they don't mesh with your team, everyone is going to have a bad time.

Absolutely terrific advice.

As soon as I read "_specific_ feedback", my eyes lit up.

Another issue with specific feedback is that "...should be red instead of blue" type feedback can derail a designers whole thought process, a thought process which usually doesn't end at the delivery of a draft, which is merely an optional stop along the way in the mind of the designer.

A designer might have ideas for how to address certain kinds of objections to a draft. For example, if boss says, "It doesn't match our brand well enough.", the designer might have some specific ideas that he/she came up with, in case that was a perceived issue. If, instead, the boss says, "It doesn't match our brand well enough, so add more blue.", then the designer's route can no longer be used, and an entirely new route has to be determined.

I use the railway analogy, because I think it actually maps exactly: Imagine you, as a train passenger, told the conductor (the person you've hired to be your railway professional) exactly where to go, and there wasn't a predefined switch for getting there OR the switch for getting to that exact location has already been passed. The only way to achieve this new route is to backtrack or build a new switch track, both of which are more expensive than continuing on the existing route to a location that also solves the passenger's problems.
It is a guideline, and like every guideline, there are exceptions. If your interests and strengths are comic reading, you are not likely to get a job making money in that direction. However if you really enjoy teaching but think accountants would make more money - rather do teaching. You will earn less money, but you will be way happier and more fulfilled.
Second this. A lot of the comments in this thread reveal some fundamental -- not "misunderstandings" because I'm pretty confident that we all know how the Internet works -- but perhaps "incorrect patterns of thinking/mental shorthands" about the Internet.

There are certain concepts that we often seem to forget when we're using the Internet day in and day out. Things like: "Facebook provides a service," "they're a private company," "you do not have an inalienable right to the service," "the service costs them money to provide," "content creators have certain IP rights to the content they create, but this does not translate into a fundamental right to use the Facebook service," "servers are real physical things," etc.

I can't believe how many people are going along with the whole "comparing Facebook to your rented apartment" line of thinking...

Let me start by saying that I love reading these kind of handbooks from various companies.

One thing that stuck out to me was multiple mentions about "raising the issue" for the tough topics (compensation issues, feeling uncertain) -- who is the issue "raised" to if there is zero hierarchy and I have no manager/adviser/councilor? Does the flat structure only apply to "individual contributors" and is there a more traditional HR/operations structure that is not shown?
I read the article. It looks like a discussion about corruption inside a political party. It has some side accusations to the Russians, but without any proofs. The discussion about the email server and hacking is very small. I think it's a political article.

A few weeks ago there were articles about the configuration of the server, and IIRC how the hacker could enter it. I think that were on-topic.

I also remember an article that correlates the number of emails in the official Clinton's email and in the unofficial. Most of the times the number is correlated, but they spot some strange non-correlations that signal a possible erasure of some emails. It was a little conspiracionist and I'm not sure the analysis was 100% right, but I think that were on-topic.
Is this person dangerous or threatening? If so you could meet with the police, give them a heads up and ask for extra patrols in your neighborhood.

Be on guard when you're leaving coming home any place you're alone.

Resetting all passwords is a good idea, enable 2 factor auth.

I would leave your existing home router up as a distraction, purchase a new one with new generic ssid and strong password and use that one.

You could also try using personal hot spot for a week depending on how much bandwidth you use.

If you don't think they are a threat just snooping to make chance encounters happen. You could try setting up honey pot plans one by one (gCal, email, sms, from laptop, from phone browser, etc) to try to see if there is a pattern to how they are tracking you.

Swap phones with a friend for an afternoon with someone that knows them or what they look like, see if they run in to them.

They could be in to any or everything though digitally.

Or maybe nothing and they just know places you go so they go there often to increase chance meetings.

Try to distance your self from them, give them the cold shoulder when you do run in to each other, maybe they'll be the hint.

Good luck, be safe.

My take is that a small proof of concept would provide the best class of answers. As a "first system" it would also be a good step toward the possibility of a global system because it would give an indication as to the feasibility of blockchain technologies for big data distribution.

I have been using https://startpage.com which also bills itself as a "Truly private search engine". It uses Google for search results but sends your queries without any associated IP/cookie info. They also don't log your searches.
Though the reasons listed for what Orgalorg can do but Ansible can't are incorrect. Ansible can accept hosts lists from STDIN (-i '192.168.50.1,192.168.50.2').
I like it; It'll be my default search engine;
DuckDuckGo is a search engine, like Google/Bing. This is a tool that uses those search engines and then combines the results. It's useful because Google sometimes has way better search results (imho) than DuckDuckGo, and this site gives you a way to search Google while being tracked less.
Great suggestion! I just subscribed because of this article (& pt 1).

As a Verizon (now, specifically Wireless) customer, I've watched things go from "worth the price" to "what am I paying for?".

And Yahoo. Once proud, pioneering Yahoo.

And the remains of AOL are in the mix, as well?

I mostly feel this is somehow primarily going to shovel more crap at me.
Well, DDG is owned by Yahoo... Also, it is not open source completely. So you cannot know if it is really tracking you or not.
Most people have the urge to "pee on" every piece of work that goes by them; to demonstrate that they are doing things, to leave some mark that they were part of the results. This is one of the reasons committee projects suck so badly.

This isn't about issues that can be right or wrong or technical expertise, it's about bike-shedding, except there's no argument about the color, there is simply someone changing the color to demonstrate that they can.

A better private search engine is one that you run from your own home or very secure server that you own running your search engine.

Bring the search engine to your home based NAS or similar. Nothing too powerful, but something that can keep enough information locally.

Never trust any corporation to keep any of your searches private. Any corporation can be compelled to open up any and all private searches and communication.

Anything you say or do, will be used against you.
Then experience isn't a negative. It is merely insufficient without other requirements like team compatability.

This is the same argument people are making against this ruling. It sets a very bad precedent.

Arguing that an IP address is an identity "for this case" or "this argument" has the same fundamental problem. No, an IP address is not an identity and blocking an IP address is the physical world equivalent of putting up some traffic cones on a sidewalk. You can still get to where you want to go but you now have to "walk around" or "work around" as we call it in the digital world.

The only "clear message" it sends is, "don't use that IP."
