Exactly. I think a few agenda driven actors got a hold of the idea, and pushed forward their own version of what a trigger warning is for. I've heard a couple anectdotes about some student needing some ultra-sensitive care, but these are the outliers--if even true. Yet, this is all I hear about in online forums.

That said, I do hear some vitriolic defenses of them as well.

Moral of the story: Don't trust anything you read on the internet, I guess.
Just a couple of weeks ago, I upgraded my home storage system from 9 disks (4x3 raidz) from the same manufacturer with partially consecutive serials.

Now its 18 disks (3x6 raidz2) from 3 different manufacturers and every vdev has 2 of each. And the vdevs are physically evenly spread throughout the case.

I think the government has a right to ensure that the aid it pays out for an education is actually going towards an education, and not a front for siphoning federal aid for the enrichment of executives and shareholders.
Big proprietary users of protocols tend to discover bugs in them, that they feed upstream, even if they run otherwise closed networks.

E.g. it benefits you that Google uses TCP internally, even if you can't get on their network? Why? Because they've submitted patches to Linux to make it work better.
That's a good point. Internet commenters tend to overgeneralize. Fortunately, those people aren't strictly needed for a solution. The only party who needs to listen is the content provider (in my example, the news outlet).

I would be fine with this if it were applied equitably. As it stands, centrist and conservative students have been expected to endure progressive indoctrination, and they've done so relatively quietly up until it their speech and activities began to be prohibited (I believe it was UIC where someone chalked "Trump 2016" on the sidewalks, and students tried to have it prosecuted as a hate crime).

> we are constitutionally guaranteed the right to bear arms

It doesn't extend to all arms; e.g., you don't have a right to own anti-aircraft guns, weaponized anthrax, or even fully automatic rifles. What side of the line the exploits fall on is of course a question, but if I'm right that their only civilian use is illegal harm to others (e.g., you don't use them to protect your home or hunt deer) then it's simpler.

How did universities evolve from spaces meant to evoke controversial and provocative thought (like the birth of the free speech movement at UC Berkeley) to the "safe spaces" of today? If a university is meant to enrich you, one worthy lesson is the ability to "agree to disagree in a cordial fashion". If you disagree or feel threatened by a line of thought, make your voice heard. Receding into a safe space won't prepare you for the real world.

GPLv3 is cool as open source goes, but is pretty restrictive. Basically you can't link to it and distribute your app without it being open source. A company like Google can probably not use it.
Open source software is now basically exempt from the crypto export restrictions, which is why Debian doesn't need separate non-US repositories for it anymore. As far as I know closed-source software is still restricted.
Our unwritten but seems to be more or less the rule at work is that unless you get an @ (either in a general channel or in a 1-1 chat) anything that goes into slack is as async as email. Maybe a little bit less, but the expectation is that you will get to it at some point and that's it.

I don't find it specially disruptive this way. Way less than shouting from one side of the office "hey, check the deploy!"

Using Slack asynchronously (or rather, using only private messages synchronously), these complaints are totally alien to me. Seeing Slack called "Facebook for work" doesn't feel inflammatory, it feels bizarre. I suspect synchronous culture would change things quite a bit. I've certainly never had the sense that "hey, do this when you can, no rush" meant anything but what it says.

Of course, some of this seems to be about configuration approaches. I had forgotten that Slack's dock icon embeds notifications, because my dock minimizes when not in use.
Good!
They will have to set aside servers that do just databases with SQL chips, but either way, I would be happy if they do that.

I would also be interested to see if there is a new trend to go back to owning commodity hardware, putting CoreOS+docker on it + a database with a hopefully inexpensive SQL chip. Moving away from VMware, massively expensive servers, massively expensive SANs, proprietary backups..

Would be very interesting to see.
What's the difference? :)

It's explained in detail here: https://info.lookout.com/rs/051-ESQ-475/images/lookout-pegas...

Apparently it overwrites a system binary that's launched on boot with another apple-signed binary "jsc" (a console javascript interpreter), which will evaluate some sort of .js that re-exploits everything. Pretty clever to re-use apple-signed binaries for nefarious purposes. (The binary must be apple-signed because when booting the kernel isn't exploited yet and so it enforces code signing, obviously).
Easily the coolest thing I've seen today(and I just finished doing some Quickbooks integration work so the bar is real high* )

I can picture this as a physical building block type toy where you plug the pieces in to a powered base and the results pump to speakers(or an audio out).

> the discussions are large and come from three different perspectives

The discussions have ballooned, but having read the other two in the morning, this one just feels like a rehash of the same privacy concerns folks have raised. And for anyone reading about possible solutions to their concerns, they'd have to jump between 2-3 different threads now.

I'm glad there's at least WhatsApp thread is on front page for everyone's sake, but personally I felt like the Looking ahead for WhatsApp discussion covered much of what's being said here. The difference is that poster didn't have as good of a title and submitted it when much of the West Coast was still asleep.

Also, while this site doesn't have the resources to comb and diff each new thread to make sure it's not a dupe, I wish more users would point this out when it does happen. At the very least, thanks for pointing out the two existing threads, but we shouldn't be afraid of merging threads to make it easier for future users to reference (if they do).
Please don't tell the C++ community that! We really don't want to encourage them.

To someone who uses Python every day, the extra cognitive load of `attr` is more than made up for by all the boilerplate it eliminates. But for beginners, behind-the-scenes magic is a real turn off.

I think that making `attr` an optional library is a fair compromise, but perhaps it would be a good idea to add a note to the library reminding the programmer not to use it if the code is likely end up in the hands of novices.

They're not experiencing a new incidence of trauma, they're reliving one.

A more "physical" corollary would be the "ghost" limb sensation for someone who has lost one. That person doesn't lose their limb every time the sensation comes and goes away -- it was lost before and after the incident. It may be painful sure, but who says that recovery and healing is without pain? One of the leading methods of treating PTSD being studied is having combat veterans relive a similar incident through a controlled environment.

Yep, UChicago alum here, too. It's a weak argument anywhere to claim we should limit free speech simply because most students attend universities for job training, not for intellectual enrichment. But it's an epic fail of an argument at Chicago. The school year opens with an address to the first years from a faculty member on "The Aims of Education." UC is not a lunch counter where students order things to their liking. Rather, the institution sits you down and tells you why you are there. You are encouraged to expand on their thoughts, but never to shirk the responsibilities the University puts on you.

>You can store it

I didn't say you can't, I said Whatsapp doesn't store it. I meant to say that it won't automatically backup and restore your stuff when you change phones.

You have to backup the data yourself in an sd card or a cloud service that you choose. It isn't stored in Facebook's servers.
Are there any proposed metadata schemes for including trigger-warning-like info in, say, web pages?
Since you've communicated about a project, it's pretty likely they have googled your name and clicked your Facebook profile in the Google results, or looked you up directly on Facebook.

> Yet avoidance reinforces PTSD. Conversely, systematic exposure to triggers and the memories they provoke is the most effective means of overcoming the disorder" while citing several academic studies conducted on PTSD sufferers.

Right, but I'd assume this is probably done in small increments or doses? A person who's finding themselves exposed to said triggers may not be able to control how much of it they get in certain situations, which could arguably leave them off worse after the event.
I think it's adorable how you just casually assume I have a Facebook account and I'm speaking in purely theoretical terms here.

It's not that I don't want to see Facebook killed with an axe. I'm just not so foolish as to imagine that browbeating people will make that more likely. Don't confuse the two.
This is exactly how we've handled Slack. It's sync (to within a minute or two) for @ messages, which are used sparingly. It's async for everything else, and it's faster than email only in that it's a bit more conversational.

Within that norm, all of the "Slack is an evil attention vampire" complaints feel deeply unfamiliar to me. I find it less distracting than email because @ makes message priority clear at a glance.

Yes, but in education, this is dangerous way. Whole point of science is to critique, if you are triggered by facts, and university bans "hostile" ideas you can not even discuss it.
There is a place and time, but you should have a right to oppose creationism, for example. At least you should be not afraid to ask questions or state facts. And if everything is safe space, and everybody is triggered this is totally oppose to scientific principles and contradicts whole point of education.

edit: "you can say anything you want in our meeting"
in practical terms, if there is a meeting about wage gap, you should be able to state facts that contradicts narrative, and not be afraid that you will be force to apologize for trigerring or even quit university

Honestly, this is not my experience using Slack at all. Maybe it's because I'm on such a small team, but I find that the amount of chatter on Slack isn't overwhelming at all -- #random is pretty dead most of the time. And if someone sends me a message and I'm busy, then I'll maybe glance at the notification but probably just ignore it until I'm free.

My team uses Slack very asynchronously -- whenever you have something that needs feedback or whatever, you just post it in the appropriate channel, and expect responses to trickle in over maybe the next 24 hours. If someone sends "hey no rush but", then I legitimately do not rush to answer it -- just a different company culture I guess.

How do you measure the productivity of cognitive work over an entire week? It's kind of subjective, and having the subjects self-report their level of satisfaction would probably be unreliable.

EDIT: I guess the trick might be to not use a survey, but to give the participants all the same project to work on (very expensive), then adjust the results based on their previous performance. I think an ideal group for this would be students because they're all already working on the same projects. Tell one (random) group that they can have some money if they promise to work on their class project for no more than one hour a day. Could this work?
Yeah, we were cross shopping Mazda/Ford/Subaru and it was totally obvious that all the Mazda dealerships were owned by a franchise. When we'd mention a quote they'd push us really hard on where we got it from and wouldn't come back with a counter offer or "we can't beat that".

Pretty transparent and only changed once we started emailing dealers across state lines. Either way they lost our business. Subaru on the other had has a pretty diverse set of dealers and we ended up with one well below "inventory"(that's a whole nother bit of misinformation) at a dealership ~15mi away.

That said Tesla still wipes the floor with any dealership experience I've had which is why I'm pretty excited to see the Model 3 hit the market and more people experience it.
At the same time, in a country that values free speech people are allowed to have idiotic opinions. The fact that people are giving those opinions credence because they are "on the Internet" is probably closer to the issue.
> Ant genomics declare 'checkmate' to red king theory

Interesting stuff, but they've only shown mutualism increased the rate of evolution (compared to non-mutualists) in a few species of ants. It's not unreasonable that the difference also holds for most other species, but having only looked at three species of ants (plus four more in the non-mutualist control group), it seems more like "check" than "checkmate."

While this is noble of you, I guess 99% of your (and mine) contacts won't do the same. So you're protecting your friends, while your own number is still shared with Facebook.

This is what annoys me the most. I can't control what people put in their address book about me (physical address, email, photo, phone number, maybe even more infos) and who they share my info with.
Making this an opt-in is automatically illegal in the EU anyway, which makes the fact that they rolled it out like this very surprising.
Clarifying question: What do you mean by "fear of being PC"? I'm a bit confused about the scenario you're describing.
Really? You must be really good at Clojure. Then you can explain this:

user=> (list 1 2 3)
(1 2 3)
user=> (list? (list 1 2 3))
true

so (1 2 3) is a list.

user=> (cons 0 (list 1 2 3))
(0 1 2 3)
user=> (list? (cons 0 (list 1 2 3)))
false

(0 1 2 3) is not a list?

user=> (list? '(0 1 2 3))
true

But then it is???

WTF?

Compare ELISP:

ELISP> (listp (list 1 2 3))
t
ELISP> (listp (cons 0 (list 1 2 3)))
t

and CL:

CL-USER> (listp (list 1 2 3))
T
CL-USER> (listp (cons 0 (list 1 2 3)))
T
According to Ars the bugs have already been fixed in iOS10: http://arstechnica.com/apple/2016/08/apple-releases-ios-9-3-...
Great article, but:

The appropriate phrases are, of course, 'by AD 59' & 'in AD 64' (I'll give 'in the early third century AD' a pass, although 'in the early third century' is more correct).

Right, major versions with new features are one thing, a "we fixed a few bugs in the major release we did 3 days ago" release on the other hand don't seem very important. If you use it you'll get notified through other channels, if you don't you probably don't care

I think big persistent groups sometimes do help with that. If you want to know which client requested X, then messaging one person is slow, and walking up to ask one person is disruptive. With Slack, you can ask 30 people and get an answer from whoever looks first (and so presumably isn't disrupted). Everyone else who's busy ignores things and skims things when they're not occupied.

That's all contingent on a culture of async Slack usage, but I've found it valuable.
The original title is actually "This really might be the end of ITT" which I thought was clickbaity and didn't really explain the story.
Yes, and that's what I meant about making it hard, not impossible. That said, there are uses of exploits which can be said are for the purpose of protecting property. I might conceivably want to use an Android or iOS exploit to liberate some of my data from my phone if some apps are less forthcoming with that data than I would like.
I dunno.

What I do is simply mute the chatty channels, and go in when I need answers or get invited/DM'd.

Mute is pretty powerful.
I've thought about building something that gives a social network type experience that is built on top of email. Any status update would get sent out to an email list of your connections, and all the emails could be put in a specific mail folder using standard rules. A front end app would then scan that folder and give you a personalized page that represents the latest status based on what it sees in that folder. The raw messages themselves may contain various control messages (such as "friend requests" and "drop requests", but otherwise can be directly viewable too. But the main interface would be from a front-end app that runs on the user's PC or mobile device.
It's not about barring anyone from an education, but about keeping federal aid from going to them.

Though, based on the article the fact that they're a for-profit institution seems tangential to the actual reason they're not allowed to accept federal aid because they're no longer accredited.
