Not sure about "many" European countries. Switzerland is certainly the only one who went to extremes on it.

"None" is the wrong answer for the US as well (but the number might be approaching it). In the 50's and 60's the Civil Defense group published books on how to convert a basement into a shelter, or dig one in the back yard. Faced with the immense cost of building community shelters, they instead went about identifying which buildings would be designated as shelters (with minimal-if-any engineering work to see if they'd hold up under the air pressure of a nearby blast). You would see the shelter signs pretty frequently, along with their designed occupancy. A few shelters were stocked with food, water, radios, Geiger counters, and so on. But even that expense was deemed too great. These days the signs are very rare.

Oh, and lots of propaganda films were produced to assure people that nuclear war was survivable.

The real social network is the one you create on your own, with people you wish to network with. And it has to be small by design, otherwise it doesn't work.

Now, it doesn't matter what you use to create such a network, be that email list, facebook group, whatsapp, or fill in the blank.

No company or platform have been able to "create" such a social network for you. The best they can do, is provide appropriate tools for you to create your network.

And as far as I can tell, email lists still serve that purpose, irrespective of the hype the platforms like Facebook, Slack etc may generate.

It seems that you guys are trying to have your cake and eat it too. So... you're saying that the FBI is having trouble hiring hackers because... they don't pay the salaries of Silicon Valley, and don't offer job permanence of a German government job.

Besides, if talented hackers were so majorly set on permanence in their jobs, there'd be no game studios.

Good to know. Guess I'll have to buy this and watch the series for the third-or-so time.

McGoohan forbad anyone on the crew to mention television or that they were working on a TV show while on the set. He felt that if people thought that they were working "only for TV" then they may be tempted to compromise on quality.

>to imply that these women should not have been forgotten because of their race and gender seems silly to me. we don't generally remember people because of their race or their gender, we remember people primarily for unique/influential/pivotal actions.

That is not what science and history tell us. It may be what folks want to believe, especially folks who like to think they live in a meritocracy.
Both history and science show that men get more credit than women, for example. Professors get higher ratings from students, job applicants get more callbacks and higher offers, researchers get more papers accepted by journals, etc. All have been the subject of recent studies showing that, a given resume, paper, or performance will get better outcomes if it's attached to a male name rather than female.

>That's not a fair reading. I don't see anywhere that the article makes a any suggestion about when to optimize, it only suggests techniques that you could presumably use when you actually need to.

Then you don't have a fair reading of my comment. I didn't say to never use it. There may be time-sensitive areas that perform a lot of work, very often. In those cases, go nuts, squeeze out every ms per frame you can. In the vast majority of cases, don't bother. Focus on maintainability and architecture and choose the right data structures (that's where your bottlenecks are going to be). Don't bother with low level details.

Exactly. It's not a one size-fits-all deal here. We're talking about a honeypot that is only accessed by people knowingly harming the welfare of others - as opposed to harming themselves (which is why I think drug honeypots are terrible, particularly for small quantity, personal use purchases).

Entrapment, at least in my mind, just doesn't enter the equation when you're operating in an environment which is difficult to access, siloed from the public, and known to be populated exclusively by dangerous criminals.

I honestly don't know what to make of this comment. There hasn't been large scale naval combat, or challenged transoceanic supply lines since World War II. So... what's your point? Also, you seem to be implying that targeting supply lines is somehow illegitimate. It is legitimate. It's been a tactic of war since war evolved beyond cattle raids on neighboring villages. The fact that you're comparing this to a war crime, shows you don't know what you're talking about.

That sounds suspiciously like one of those legal "facts" that are complete hogwash, like "people can be hung for treason in the UK", or "It's legal to kill a Scotsman with a longbow at a church".

At least in New Zealand, which is constitutionally similar to the UK, police are governed by specific laws that allow what would be otherwise considered illegal behavior (e.g. carrying firearms, use of physical force, speeding). If a police officer was to, say, rape someone, it would still be completely illegal.
From the reply to my sibling post and yours, I stand corrected. It seems IRC is big with older languages like C and related (as in, a similar domain) ones like Rust[1]. JavaScript and new, web related languages like Elm are more likely to use Slack.

[1] I'm curious as to whether that IRC channel is the only "blessed" Rust chat out there. The problem with other languages is that the community makes a Slack for them even though there's an IRC channel for them already and most new users start only going to the Slack.
I might have worked for the largest Swiss bank and was responsible for the software that ran their Financial Investigation Unit. This entire department had the mandate to investigate large deposits and accounts to ensure that there was no link to nefarious sources. The reasoning was that they would rather not have the income than be linked to any "criminal or dictator".

I'm not saying it doesn't happen, and it definitely did happen, but Switzerland is no longer the place where dark money is hidden -- that's moved on.
I can only assume that when the article was written in 2000, Plan 9 was getting some press in the venues he was following, so writing an article purporting to be about Plan 9 (but not really about Plan 9 at all) seemed sensible.

Two-point discrimination is an interesting thing to play with. In practical classes at uni, we did two-point discrimination using a compass (the drawing kind, not the navigational kind...). Spaces outside your sensitive areas would have the two points perceived as one quite early - in some areas of the back, the two points could be 10cm or so apart. Conversely, on the lips or fingertips, we couldn't get the points of the compass close enough to have them felt as one point.
Interestingly the inventor of Forth agrees with you about the loops. [0]

There was
DO LOOP there was
FOR NEXT and there was
BEGIN UNTIL

DO LOOP was from FORTRAN, FOR NEXT was from BASIC, BEGIN UNTIL was from ALGOL.

What one do we pick for Forth? This (DO LOOP) has two loop control parameters and it is just too complicated. This (FOR NEXT) has one loop control parameter and is good with a hardware implementation and is simple enough to have a hardware implementation. And this one (BEGIN) has variable number of parameters.

I've got a new looping construct that I am using in Color Forth and that I find superior to all the others. That is that if I have a WORD I can have in here some kind of a conditional with a reference to WORD. And this is my loop.

WORD ~~~ IF ~~~ WORD ;
THEN ~~~ ;

I loop back to the beginning of the current definition. And that is the only construct that I have at the moment and it seems to be adequate and convenient. It has a couple of side effects. One is that it requires a recursive version of Forth. This word must refer to the current definition and not some previous definition. This eliminates the need for the SMUDGE/UNSMUDGE concept which ANS is talking about giving a new name. But the net result is that it is simpler.

It would of course not be convenient to nest loops but nested loops are a very dicey concept anyway. You may as well have nested definitions. We've talked over the last fifteen years about such things. Should you have conditional execution of a word or should you have something like IF THEN? Here is an example where I think it pays well in clarity, the only loop you have to repeat the current word.

WORD ~~~ IF ~~~ WORD ;
THEN ~~~ ;

You can always do that and it leads to more intense factoring. And that is in my mind one of the keystones of Forth, you factor and you factor and you factor until most of your definitions are one or two lines long.

(Jeff) You might point out that your semicolon after WORD results in tail recursion and converting the call in WORD to a jump and that is how it functions.

(Chuck) So there is no reason to make that a call since you are never going to go anywhere afterwards so you just make that jump. In fact in all my latest Forths semicolon kind of meant either return or jump depending on the context and it's optimized in the compiler to do that. It's a very simple look back optimization that actually saves a very important resource, the return stack.

Seems to me that this replacement of the tail recursion with a jump is basically TCO.

Not really? We have a lot of options for opt-in run time verification, and then we can find new and interesting ways to break static verifiers with macros.

I don't mean to imply that core.tyoed is fictitious but I wouldn't consider it a substitute for real, pervasive static typing.
Does it matter? I mean, why else would they operate this site but because they think they might get more information? Maybe it worked, maybe it didn't, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't have tried.
So must we write massive exemptions for police officers into wire fraud laws so that they can 'tell lies' online? Do we need a law excepting them from pretending to be a child during pedophile stings? And another law for giving a false name to a police officer, for when they are doing internal investigations? Cop are given some room for a reason. Adding a bright-line exception to every criminal law is not practical. It is left to the courts to set the rules.
The article was written in the year 2000. A lot has changed since then, in pretty much every realm that he discusses. It's not a bonkers article, but it is an artifact of an earlier era.
Yeah - this solves the "I know I used 'correct horse battery staple', but can't remember if it was correct-horse-battery-staple or correct_horse_battery_staple or c0rrect+h0rse+battery+staple or c0rr3cth0r53b4tt3ryst4pl3 or whatever...

Would it be better if they were dead?

It's hard to take these kinds of rationalizations seriously. Simply, most people in our society find this sort of pornography revolting, and the law, which reflects public outrage, has banned it. We didn't reach that outrage from evidential reasoning. Moral revulsion is an irreducible position, and it's not subject to dispute. Likewise, we've never had a rigorous experiment to test whether murder should be illegal or not. That isn't how laws get made.
My thoughts too.

I think most word wrap issues could be avoided with implementation of the text-balance spec. (Pretty sure this is a part of css4) Polyfill Example: http://webplatform.adobe.com/balance-text/demo/index.html

As for changing linear interpolation to easing, I can't think of a good way to do that off the top of my head. It could be made in js but native css would be better.

It does seem like a great use case for houdini specs (if they do come out) where just like the dom is accessable from js, the cssom would also be available so you could make a new css rule with a js implementation. Really good read on that: https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2016/03/houdini-maybe-the-m...
You can't have your cake and eat it too. i.e. You can't have a security Leviathan and expect it to ignore inner threats
Maybe, but most people condense this by creating mental models of the problem, like visualisations. That's the aim.

For example, consider learning vectors, without the spacial/Cartesian visualisation as an aid. Or geometry without the visuals.

An "intuition" wrt skill can only come from experience - repeated exercises and practise. But before that another kind of "intuition" can come from a useful mental model. Maybe at some stage, working mathematicians stop using these models, but I recon:

- They helped to learn the subject, in the early stages.

- They help in simple cases.

- They are not simply abandoned, but replaced with more powerful mental models.

I think the last point is very important. Can a failing Quant easily bluff. Yikes.
The cellar of my home in Switzerland also acts as a bunker and has massive concrete doors (0.5m thick). When I was a kid, inspectors came by to check that enough water and food was stocked and not too much stuff inside the cellar. There was also a list of which bunkerless neighbour you have to host in case of emergency.

LES = Law Enforcement Sensitive
I pretty much entirely agree with you. I reject all of the non-naturalistic positions you've outlined.

I find it disappointing that non-naturalism is seeing a resurgence in metaethics, especially since I'm not even a moral realist to begin with. It's clearly just a lot of people grasping at straws.

For modern lines of development regarding Platonism (or something like it) in the philosophy of math, you might want to check out Ladyman and Ross's "Every Thing Must Go". They attempt to argue from insights from quantum mechanics that relations are real, but objects are not. I haven't read the whole book, but I believe they're explicit in stating that their position is not Platonism as it's classically understood, even though their position sounds suspiciously similar to it.

Even though I'm not a dualist of any kind, philosophy of mind is still the area where I'm the most sympathetic and forgiving towards spooky explanations. Consciousness is pretty weird, after all. So when someone wants to defend property or even substance dualism, I think they're wrong, but not crazy; and yet physicalism completely dominates in philosophy of mind, while moral non-naturalists get a free pass on their weak "well, it SEEMS like there are morals, therefore morals" arguments. It just feels completely backwards to me.

Anyway, I'm not quite sure what prompted you to take the discussion down this path. There is much in contemporary analytic philosophy that I find problematic and even indefensible, but when I'm trying to impress upon people the importance and relevance of philosophy, I don't mention the shortcomings until the person has a deep enough understanding to take a nuanced view of these issues. This is just like how, if you're trying to convince the global warming skeptic that the scientific consensus is to be trusted, you don't start off by talking about the replication issues in psychology. When I talk about philosophy with people, my main goal is to convey the point that there are important philosophical questions that are worth thinking seriously about.
Go sit in both, they're not even close. I'm a millennial too, but that has nothing to do with being able to appreciate a luxury car interior. FWIW neither the S Class or Model S appeal to me because I like going to the mountains and drive on sketchy forest roads.
> I see a list of themes priced at 100$ :/ (maybe that's a good thing?)

I can see the utility in this. It's like an app store for bootstrap themes. The alternative is scouring the web, suffering the choice anxiety, working out if everything is compatible, etc.
The "650 unopened devices" bit stood out to me also. He's very clearly saying that this is not about finding criminality, it's about punishing criminality.

Inaccessible devices might might reveal a different crime than is being prosecuted, they might reveal something legal but embarrassing, they might even clear a suspect who's refusing to share a password on conscience (or has honestly forgotten it). It would have been very easy to pitch this as "making prosecutions more accurate", and it's rather telling that only one side of that was addressed.
It'd be much more fruitful to talk about this directly rather than via a forum where I am rate limited. :(

If you reach out to me via email you'll probably find me. You can find that email by searching for my username on the C2 wiki. Posting it here would be troublesome.
I have portions of my password safe passphrase stored with certain friends. If I get hit by a bus, those friends will almost certainly work out who each other are and what to do with the snippets they have. (And I "mind" several snippets of passphrase for some of them as well).

Not "nation state" secure, but I'm reasonable sure it's well beyond petty thief, curious cow-orker, 4chan/anonymous, or local LEO's capability to subvert.
That's callous and fairly nonsensical. We don't say to women who are targeted for 'revenge porn' that they should just live with it.
I believe that was answered, the FBI simply ran it on better and faster hardware, with better uptime.

I do not believe the FBI continued to operate it as is on the criminals hardware, I believe they took possession of the "server" then likely imaged it and spun up a new instance of the site on the FBI own servers, these servers likely had much better specs, and a much better connection to the internet.
Its it stupid at all. I taught myself Triginometry from a book for fun. Sure, not everyone's idea of a good time but I don't see the need to take a University or College course for lots of money when in fact I only spent about AU$34.95 on a good book and I didn't need to feel rushed in getting to grips with the concepts.

I learn different things at different speeds, a course makes me go at a speed I don't enjoy. This is perfect.

I've often heard this, and it seems a poor excuse for a terrible interview process/terrible hiring figures. Why do you not try to improve your interview process to lower the false-negative rate? Doing so in an intelligent way need not raise the false-positives rate (unless you somehow believe that the interview process is already perfected by Google...)
