I was all for them (sans Assange) until I realized they've become somewhat delusional. You go from outing corporate and government corruption (good), to outing private information for normal people http://gizmodo.com/wikileaks-just-published-tons-of-personal... BAD.
This email is dated May 21, just 2 weeks before AP called the primary for Clinton. It was pretty clear by that point to everyone that Clinton would win the primary.

I'm not surprised to see DNC discussing narratives for the point when the primary is over.

This is no evidence that the primary was rigged.
If KickAss decides to share their dump using their public key, it becomes much harder to censor because of how the DHT system works. Authorities would need to shut down all the nodes that republish that public key on the DHT, which is incredibly hard to do. Much harder than asking ISPs to shutdown a domain name in DNS.

The three offers that I'm familiar with from three of the big ones were 2 years, though maybe it's different for new grads?

I totally agree, I don't really like it. I think, though, that the astronomically large bonuses are worse than the small ones. Paying back $5000 (+ income tax, mind you) is much easier than paying back $100k + tax.
They make more money selling razor blades.
They seriously need to work on the Macbook Pro's cooling. Too much throttling/overheating/heat issues.

The thin strip vent below the LCD simply isn't large enough and the fans not powerful enough to cool a Radeon R9 M370X and the i7.

And, sure, they can direct some of that excess heat to the aluminium body, but that hasn't been effective up until now so I struggle to see why it would start being effective in the future.
Shadowrun works pretty well until it pops up a control on the screen with the clickable areas way off from what's displayed on the screen. Like, unplayably bad. Was running an AMD GPU as well, so clearly YMMV.

To be honest, the numbers looked about right to me. X-Com looks great, but is painfully slow...

I feel like I'm just a curious bystander here - I haven't read much about the emails, nor looked at any of them individually until clicking on your link, so I really haven't formed an opinion on how noxious they are - but I don't see the smoking gun you seem to see in that email... Could you provide some more perspective on the issue, for those of us who are new to this debate?
I'm not sure I buy that. I think conflict clearly pushes some types of innovation, e.g. antibiotics, but you don't get things like telescopes because the duke of Milan needs to see onto the far hill top. You get those bigs leaps often because educated people are free to sit and wonder or tinker for long months and years with no pressure to produce anything.

However one interesting conflict that was quite useful was of a more philosophical nature. Trying to square Christian/Catholic dogma about the nature of the world with the observable world led to some interesting insights by Tycho, Newton, and so on.
>I think what you mean is they're implying motive and conspiracy.

Yes, thanks for correcting that.
That seems an entirely sensible stance. For me, there's a few other things that make me really want to use from Rust to ease some of the pain points of writing a language that low (error/null handling, destructuring match), so I'll stick with Rust for now. Worst case, I may need to apply my Rust experience to C++ later, but with the new features you are referring to and I keep hearing about, those features seem to be increasingly like what I would be doing in Rust, so there should be a lot of overlap of concepts and idioms by then.
Thanks! I will give this a try on the next rainy weekend.
There sure is a hell of a lot of smoke around the DNC this year for there to not be any fire.
It would get annoying really fast if every program decided to do that.
I didn't think this was so controversial...
And in addition to that, they should add an accelerometer for even more fun when testing shake and tilt gestures. ;-)
Lots of people boycott Walmart for various reasons. They recently closed a bunch of stores, but that seemed to have more to do with the failure of the small store concept. They're still making tons of money though.

I give the Walmart example because the boycott sentiment has been around for so long. For companies as big as them and Amazon, even if boycotts hit the bottom line somehow, would they be able to sort that out from all the other factors that affect revenue and profits? It's like flies buzzing around an elephant. I doubt they'd make the connection and decide, "Oh, we'd better change the way we do business!"

It seems the only effective way might be to get high-impact media coverage. But then their spin-masters go on tv to neutralize the damage and everything stays the same.

Just because it's easy doesn't mean it's not true. Are you saying it's not true, or are you just saying it's easy?
I'm assuming a setup similar to that of the OP's.

>And if you don't trust Google or Facebook with your phone number then that means you don't use either of them at all?

More or less. Email I can handle, and there's stuff I stupidly gave up in the past, but I see no reason to provide them with additional info.

>Github doesn't require a phone number to use 2FA

Are you referring to the application? That might be a fair compromise depending on what kinds of permissions the application requires.

>A hardened email server doesn't prevent a targeted attacker from just redirecting your mx records (as happened to OP).

What on earth are you on about? Of course it does. The OP had a crappy password, which is about as fundamental as it gets with regards to server hardening...
Or, people now see his megalomaniacal ways more so than they did before.

I know this will get downvoted, but I'll say it anyway.
I could not agree more. I've learned to be ridiculously honest over recent years and it makes everyone happier (in the long run).

When everyone knows the truth they can make better decisions. This applies at all levels. Secrets hurt everyone.

(This does not apply to security things, like passwords, bank account numbers and the location of my house key).
Well there's no solid proof it wasn't David Icke's lizard people shooting him for knowing to much either. Or a jilted lover, or one of Trump's Second Amendment People, or that he shot himself and then threw the gun down a storm drain before bleeding out.

You've already jumped to "guy getting shot in DC because that shit happens sometimes" as merely a possibility that hasn't been completely ruled out.
Oh, that's because you must have missed a few comments back where I agreed with you and backed out on any claim they were strictly more powerful. ;)
[2015] Crypto flaws in Blockchain Android app sent Bitcoins to the wrong address
I didn't say it was. I said it precipitates the act of reflexive classification by the body politic of whatever three-letter agency we're talking about.

The process is as follows:

1) Rational, principled decision: "when in doubt, classify"

2) Conservative application: "I'll just classify everything to avoid 'misses'"

3) Everything gets classified because nobody ever got fired for classifying

Treat it as a signal detection problem. There's obvious incentive to avoid "misses" (i.e. not classifying things that should be classified) so people produce many false alarms (i.e. classifying things that should be public knowledge).

This hi-lights a problem with current doctrine: "classify by default" has unintended consequences, namely a creeping increase in non-transparency.

Further, and returning to the original point: since reflexive classification happens as a result of official doctrine, the two are semantically equivalent and this discussion is officially running around in circles.
The same problem exists in non-networked investment vehicles. Clever people can create derivatives and convince less-clever people to buy them, not realizing that the math actually simplifies out to "heads, I win: tails, you lose".

The capital markets industry has never been able to keep clever people from making a little more money for themselves at the expense of a lot of money that would otherwise have gone to investors.

At least with ETH and its future competitors, the specific sort of cleverness that is required to profit is very close to the cleverness that I now possess.

Not saying I'd put a dollar that I can pay actual bills with into ETH right now, just that it seems more approachable to me than traditional investment, barring only the low-fee index funds.

But those are plenty good enough for me right now, as I tend to shy away from games of skill where merely good players are routinely slaughtered by expert hustlers.
> I have an ASUS ROG and it has a pair of HUGE fan vents on the back, that's the only way of keeping power running.

Ditto.

I don't really see that. An open port is a door on your house. I'm free to walk down the street and look at your door as I please. I may also knock on it as long as I'm not banging on it for 10 minutes or something. However if I then try to pick the lock and enter your house, well then...

EDIT: It's not a perfect analogy but if you have a system that can be publicly accessed, just seeing that it's publicly available isn't a grey area to me that's all.
> Lesson learned... if you're ever assaulted or harassed at Amazon (and most females will be, eventually, in one form or another)

Different kind of assault.
Honestly, if it wasn't Chrome, it would be any of a number of other applications finding their way into our daily milieu. One of a dozen Electron based "desktop" apps. Firefox. Eclipse. I can even spin up the processor with VIM, if YCM or Anaconda addons have to do a lot of work.

As developers, we use CPU for work, and we use it hard. A battery in a "pro" laptop should support that need.

14 hours/day of low-paying mindless work like installing software (or whatever the modern equivalent is) without constant interruptions is easy and lucrative compared to even 4 hours of stressful, dissonant, interrupt-driven work that is common today. both are considered knowledge work, and in the end, on an hourly basis, both pay basically the same.

the most stressful part of this entire industry, and i know this from experience, is fixing other peoples' problems on-demand. whatever form it takes, that's the absolute worst fucking job in this entire field, because you get blamed for problems you did not cause, and blamed a second time for not fixing it fast enough.
The subject at hand is not about Wikileaks' journalistic ethics, rather it is about a reward for a murder of an DNC worker during what police suspect was an "attempted robbery" even though nothing of value was taken from his body. Both the family and Wikileaks are suspicious since he has been identified as the leaker of the DNC emails. I don't see this as Wikileaks grandstanding if he was the true leaker but YMMV.

From the Washington Post: "...Rich was shot twice in the back as he walked to his townhouse about 4:20 a.m. Nothing was taken, but police have said attempted robbery is their leading theory for a motive, noting a spike in robberies in the neighborhood in the preceding weeks. WikiLeaks released the trove of emails later that month, on July 22...."

> The fact that we don't know why it should be kept secret doesn't imply that they don't have a good reason.

True, but when Tom Blanton comes out and agrees that "90 percent" of it doesn't need to be classified, that more than implies they don't have a good reason.
Flip Feng Shui: Hammering a Needle in the Software Stack [pdf]
I think there is more to it then that. All my managers have been shit umbrellas, but still some of them were not worth the investment of my time.

Once my management was split over several people and that was an issue as well as one could set incentives and then the other would obstruct because they didn't share the incentives and didn't care about the outcome. Not having shared incentives and outcomes has been the most common problem across my entire career.

Managers can set up goals and incentives and then change them at the last minute without telling you and claim you failed. Not maliciously in my case, but the effect is the same.

I'm sure the ways in which a manager can be bad is quite diverse.
I got a glimpse of the craziness just interviewing there. I enjoy telling that story (sorry mentioned it many times here in the past).

* They missed first phone call.

* Then on interview day my future manager was not there. Heck, I suspect they didn't even know I was supposed to come in (yes, I did check my email 3 times that morning to make sure I wasn't crazy).

* People I talked to expected to be told about the stupid leadership principles. I talked more about those than actual cool stuff I did with distributed systems. One would think Amazon would care about distributed systems, but I guess not...

* Forgot about me during lunch. I was just left in a room by myself for an hour. After some point I started to walk around aimlessly hoping someone would ask if I am supposed to be there (I even had a funny comeback line ready)

* After promising to get back to me in 2 days, got back in 3 weeks.

* Didn't get the offer. Feels like dodged a bullet.

Take it as an anecdote, a fluke, but I see it as pointing to a systemic issue. I can see some problems, but it was just too many in row. From various people, at various points in time.

Like most of the replies, yes to the volume/media/brightness controls.

I also still use the old "Dashboard" overlay (using the FunctionFlip widget to remap the F4 key to how it used to behave prior to Yosemite), and Exposé.

Part of me doesn't want to see these keys taken away, made context-sensitive, or made 'flat' and losing the haptic feedback.

Another part of me wonders if this is just the standard resistance-to-change behaviour, and I might discover all sorts of good uses for the feature.

Loss of haptic feedback would be a big negative, but two years ago Apple patented a virtual keyboard with haptic feedback on individual keys: http://www.idownloadblog.com/2015/03/19/apple-patent-mac-key...

Perhaps its time has come?
I'm disappointed by the failure to work with some of the really good reporters, simply because they're good at what they do. But it's hard to argue that circumventing mainstream news is somehow inherently wrong at this point.

If someone pressed Assange on this matter, I imagine he'd point out that he has more experience examining and organizing major leaks than almost any reporter. And, further, that he trusts himself more than he trusts the objectivity of reporters.

Now, I can disagree on those claims, and I think I do, but there's no particular reason an experienced data-handler is inherently wrong for not using reporters.

At first I thought you might be being overly critical as can sometimes be the case here, but glad I checked the code. Your comment is spot-on.
It's not collusion, the decisions are all being made within the party. It's wrong and unfortunate the way Sanders was treated by the DNC (I supported and donate to Sanders), but it's the DNC's call to operate however they want to operate.
> Amazon is large company. A really large company. Like all large companies, there are good/great departments and bad ones.

Companies have processes and policies, I don't buy the "bad department" excuse. Of course, some have it better than others, but often bad working conditions are the result of policies put in place by the upper management.

How many does Amazon say I should have? 11. How many units do I actually have? 9."

It occurred around 4 in the morning, in an area with several recent robberies. He was also pretty banged up apparently, implying a struggle. If you were intending to assassinate someone, you probably wouldn't fight with them first.
> In fact most of these e-mails released so far occurred after he had little chance of winning.

That would seem to deflate your point a bit. Surely the DNC isn't violating its neutrality promise if the candidate has effectively been already chosen?

> I'm sure you'll be back to "correct the record"!

I've seen this thrown around several times in this thread. Is it an accusation I'm being paid by the Hillary campaign? If so, LOL.
"We spent hundreds of billions of dollars on a large metal can flying at an altitude of 400km essentially to do microgravity research;"

This is not true. The space program has countless research opportunities, direct and indirect, with the underlying endeavour of objective of putting people on other planets, which is a pretty big opportunity in of itself.

I'm not sure paying $24 Billion to prove Higgs was worth it. I suggest maybe there were other, much less expensive ways to do that, were we to know up front that was the objective.

It's hard to say how much 'disproving a bunch of theories' is worth.

I suggest that much of theoretical physics is total rubbish speculation, which in some ways is 'ok', but it'd be nice to see some progress. If you add in String Theory to the pile ... it looks really bad for modern theoretical physics. Not much has happened in a very long time ... it seems there have been countless PhD's minted in fiction. Not good.
Aw, Winamp :( It was so glorious, that era...

So the people in Mongolia, for example, that don't have a physical address in the postal service's database don't deserve mail, or being able to more easily communicate with their government where they're located?

from the people I know who work there, yeah, there's a bit more bad ones than at other places for sure.

Though I blame it more on their slightly looser hiring practices. A lot of people get hired there that have no business working as engineers on hard problems anywhere. Then Amazon does what most tech companies seem to have trouble doing: can them (they should not have hired them in the first place, but still). Then they write stories about it complaining about how great they were and were canned.
> I hate those laptops that default to Fn instead of F and provide no toggle between them.

Agreed…Apple don't provide a simple toggle, thankfully there's a free third-party widget for this (called "FunctionFlip").
There is proof that the RNC did not rig the elections against Trump, he won. That's impossible if it was rigged.

While there may not be proof that the DNC rigged it against Sanders, that doesn't prove it wasn't rigged. It only proves that no evidence has come to light that it was rigged.

MUSCULAR is/was a codename for a UK based bulk cable tap.

It's easy to confuse that with the name of a programme to reverse engineer and analyse Google internal traffic (which is presumably now over as all that traffic is encrypted), and I made that mistake myself, but I was corrected on HN no less by someone who is closer to the leaks than I am.

It wasn't something done with the knowledge of Google or Yahoo, as evidenced by the use of reverse engineering of the data formats.
