Objectively, he could drop out whenever he wants, but choice isn't always that easy. People get accustomed to their lifestyle, whether it's forced or not, enjoyable or stressful. He's connected to people who have expectations, there's social pressure, internal pressure, pressure from his employees. Many people in positions like that do drop out, but do they always make a clean break? I think the point was that it isn't only the choice that matters, the power and freedom that comes with money doesn't trump everything else that goes into a person's life. While they might bring a lot of benefits, it's not all good, and the side effects of being in a position of power often make a person more powerless than ever. Once you're playing on a higher level, the competition is fierce and the expectations are sky high. That can trap a person into a certain path, even if they seem to have the resources to do whatever they want. It often seems like the people at the highest levels of power are the least free.

6 Feminist Myths That Will Not Die
I just made my first stack, and it was really easy! Could you add a map view to iOS native?
Seems some people are playing havoc with key ids.

I got a mail earlier today I couldn't decrypt for unclear reasons. Now I understand why: It seems it was encrypted with a copy of my public key that is on the keyserver colliding with the keyid of my real key.

Right now there is a revoked copy of my key there:
https://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?search=hanno%40hboeck&op=inde...

What's exactly going on here? Other commentors indicate that someone uploaded keys from the evil32 page to the keyservers. Have the authors of evil32 now used their private keys to revoke them?

Anyway, the conclusion seems obvious: Keyids are dead, use full fingerprints. Latest gpg 2.1 versions already show full fingerprints by default.

I still had a short keyid on my webpage, will change that now.

What makes him different than a normal spy? It's just the adversary he worked for was the public. I'd say "instead of an enemy of the U.S. Government," but I'm hard pushed to separate that distinction somehow. The NSA's behaviour would seem to point to its considering the U.S. people as enemies of the state... rather than the people being the state and themselves being the enemy.

I suppose it's not beyond belief that Snowden _could_ have been a CIA operative the entire time he was in the NSA and "blowing his cover" by going public was just the endgame to move scrutiny of CIA projects to NSA projects. Of course, there's a thousand conspiracy theories. What if that wasn't the endgame? What if "defecting" to Russia is still part of a bigger operation?

Just to be clear, I have no evidence supporting this theory, nor do I believe he's any more than he suggests. But we'd all do well to evaluate what and why we trust the things we do from time to time.
NUMA Deep Dive Part 2: System Architecture
Mandoc, the default manpage formatter in OpenBSD, Illumos, Minix, and some Linux distributions, does semantically parse manpages. The latest version even uses less’s tags functionality to allow jumping to flag definitions. For example, if I “man ls”, I can then type :tx to go to the definition of the -h flag, without hitting any false positives like a text search might.

Is 1.9 billion a small number? I understand there are people who don't use smartphones, but this obviously isn't targeted at them. Besides, many people use phones for nearly all personal communication [I use mine for everything, including email].

I certainly get being upset that some apps are mobile only [especially productivity apps]. But this one kind of makes sense.

"Racist" has been a career-ender and guarantee of social ostracism since the 1980s, at least. It is perhaps the most powerful meme that has ever been invented.
That may be asking the right question the wrong way round.

The property of neoteny - the retention of juvenile features in adults is one of the things that humans are particular noted for, and learning is one of them. So we could well still be evolving the ability to learn later in life.

The other unknowable here is environment. It is a lot easier to learn things via the internet than it was even 10 years ago, and it is also a lot more important to keep learning in many jobs. So the really interesting experiment will be to take today´s 70 year olds, who had to be content with evening classes if they could find the time to learn new skills, and compare with today´s 20 year olds, in 50 years time.

In my peer group at least, the difference between those who never opened a book after they left school (a sad, but surprisingly large number of people even with university educations), and those who kept reading, is huge - which also supports the findings.

There's a slightly lower clock speed, but its really going to be up to the OEMs to make this all work from a cooling perspective. I suspect your average gaming laptop is so big and heavy that having another big fan in there is not going to really bother anyone.

Its probably going to be a kludgier solution, but the M series GPUs are fairly terrible, often a fraction of the performance of their desktop equivalants. I think Nvidia saw the external GPU thing on the horizon and decided this is the better approach. I tend to agree. I'd rather have a little extra weight and girth in a laptop than worry about a whole external enclosure and not having it when I'm out, or dealing with all the wires and such.

From a battery perspective, who cares. Even the M series had to be plugged into the wall for any non-trivial GPU work.

It seems like amp is trying to give users the same experience you have but without disabling JavaScript. Is that so obviously nefarious?
It's asking for a solution with more gestalt impact. Turn the key into a painting or some sort of visualization.
A good place to start would be admitting just one person to AMP's Governance board that's not on Google's payroll. No single for-profit organization should control something as fundamental as the Web's markup.
I haven't examined the technical details very deeply, but from what I understand it's the content producer that has to use specific tags. What Google does to produce a page served up to the end user is then up to them. By intermediating the experience, they have a lot of control over the output, and they can integrate it with the rationale of making everything faster (and integration is exactly what would make it faster, make no mistake - all the ads, third party DOM elements, trackers, etc. not being integrated, and being dynamically constructed instead, is what makes modern news sites especially slow).

In extremis, they could do what Opera Mobile used to do, and supply a pre-rendered image to the end user. I don't think they'll do that (it wouldn't be very trackable, for one), but it's possible.
No one understands anything at all to do with Google's strategy on Hangouts. Certainly no one working at Google does.

I really don't think it's an unreasonable possibility. It's a known fact Snowden worked for CIA and even received deep cover training while working in Geneva. Much of his behavior is not that of a hapless IT admin, but someone well trained in HUMINT operations.

He comes from a multigenerational military family. That's the kind of background that breeds strong loyalty to the state, and the exact kind of background from which the CIA recruits its top spies.

I find it almost implausible that someone with that kind of loyalty would suddenly resign from the CIA after they invested so much in him, only to jump ship to a private contractor. If his reasons for leaving the CIA were purely moral, why would a private contractor ameliorate any of those concerns? It seems more likely the CIA sent him to Booz Allen.

But hey, it's all a big conspiracy right? Don't believe anything you read on the Internet, except what Ed Snowden tells you.
The Art and Labor of Maintenance
I've been using various forms of Unix, Linux , and BSD since 1998. Early days were a lot of Slackware, and eventually moved into FreeBSD, where I was happy for years. In the end the usability, stability, and package management of the Debian system has me using it for all of my server setups. I've found it the easiest of the Linux environments to get up and running quickly. It's what I would consider the "standard" for a Linux OS at this point.
Conversely, as someone who has run Debian for the majority of two decades, I find myself using Antergos (Arch-like) for the things I want to 'just work'.
>I hope they succeed as C# and F# are vastly superior to Go.

In number of features, yes. Everything else and you come off as opinionated. I cannot comfortably write C# from my Linux workstation since all the tools are Windows-first.

C# is a language where everything must be done in classes and inherits a C++/Java school of OOP which I find abhorrent as it tends to favor monstrosities of abstraction upon abstraction. I can almost always read a Go codebase and get a good general sense of what it's doing in a few minutes, I can't say the same about C# codebases, and I have worked with C# for around the same time I've worked with Go.

These things aren't clear cut for everyone the same way.

> Microsoft Project isn't intended to be used to define requirements, perform technical trade studies, model and compare alternative system architectures, or configuration manage technical artifacts of the engineering process.

I never meant to imply that Microsoft Project is a suitable tool for aiding in any of these things. Anyone crazy enough to try...

But if you want to make a Gantt chart, Project does well enough. The NASA systems engineers I knew certainly used Project for that purpose. Thus I hardly think you can say that it "isn't suitable for systems engineering" as it is useful in creating/viewing/editing one of the key tools of a system engineer's work -- a project schedule.
Companies in Canada don't pay as much because a) there is a talent pool who will take what they are offering, b) they don't make enough revenue from a given dev to justify high salaries, or c) their investors do not see the risk/reward payoff of investing in top tier devs.

As for a), yes, Canada's multiculturalism attracts migrants, who in spite of their talent have a crappy negotiating position and are easily taken advantage of. Everyone has a story of the guy who barely speaks english but who can code getting worked like a dog for peanuts.

for b) for software in Canada, you sell to the 5 banks or government. it's recurring license fees from stable customers but in a limited market.

And c) there is no market for software in canada that would justify a billion dollar valuation. Those valuations were based on cornering a user base to use as a sales channel.

Further Canada's de-facto official policy of currency debasement to keep industrial exports afloat means limited purchasing power for citizens, therefore anything that succeeds has to succeed somewhere else.

It's a great place to outsource your dev shop, kind of like a more reliable India or Belarus, but as a market it's just not large enough for to reap the network effect / micro-margin/infinite scale benefits of software solutions.

You hit the nail on the head with the challenges that you stated! While I'm a really, really big fan of decentralized platforms AND indieweb, i acknowledge that many (though not all) of the apps to allow users to on-ramp are not yet as simple as those that the proprietary silos/platforms might offer. Or the apps might be ok but requires more time/committment for users to set up things before extracting benefits. This of course sort of prevents otherwise willing new users from joining the fray...but I'm comforted by the fact that this is almost exactly how it was many years ago when the web first became available to the public, and many people thought things were "too tough" to get people onto the web; and yet here we are with so many people on the web. I'll admit that perhaps I'm an optimist. ;-) But i feel we just need to get a few Goldilocks-type killer apps to drastically ramp up user engagement. Cheers!

Nice point about prosecutorial discretion in insider trading. Some advice (life advice, not legal advice): if you're doing something questionably legal, don't sound like a criminal while doing it. The recent HSBC currency exchange prosecutions are a good example. That never would have gotten prosecuted if the executives' emails didn't make it seem like they thought they were doing something shady.

Manpages are written in troff: https://manpages.bsd.lv/

This means that they can be converted to PostScript or PDF. There’s no portable way to do this with the “man” command, but on most Linuxes you can use “man -t” and on a system using Mandoc you can use “man -T pdf”.

Likewise, for HTML, “man -H” is not strictly portable, but only works on certain versions of Linux; a Mandoc system would let you use “man -T html”. (The only strictly portable, as in “POSIX specified,” flag for man is -k.)

Honestly it might be better to just get used to using an existing webpage for your distribution. For example, OpenBSD’s web manpage database (based on Mandoc) is very nice: http://man.openbsd.org/ls.1
Part of me thinks they plan to make "enough" (however many zeros that happens to be) and then just disappear, and the ones we hear about are the ones who had too many zeros in their definition of "enough" or whose actual definition of "enough" is really "more."

Snowden is quite clearly under Russian "protection" and that protection comes at a cost. Russia is not motivated by the best interests of U.S. citizens or international order, it is motivated to protect, preserve, and extend Russia's (Putin's) interests and geopolitical ambitions. What Snowden says may be interesting or have some educational value to laypersons, but his words are most definitely scripted or approved by his Russian handlers. https://20committee.com/2016/07/02/the-kremlin-admits-snowde...

The point is to leverage human pattern matching so you want short-ish figures with large differences.

Each hex digits is 4 bits, but each emoji is 10 bits, a 128 bits key is 13 emoji which is significantly more eyeballable than 32 hex digits, and chances are you'll notice EGGPLANT being replaced by CAMERA in 13 pictures easier than you'd notice B being replaced by 8 in 32 characters.
