Filtering can only be enforced at boundaries where an operator can say "Link N will only/never have traffic for net range foo/16." And it isn't always possible to make strong blanket statements like that.

Netadmins can make those kinds of statements about traffic originating from with their own networks because they set the rules. But at an interconnection the types of networks connecting, and the purpose of the connection might mean there is little meaningful anti-spoofing protection that can be done.

For example: I send a packet to google, it passes from AS 123 through AS 456 to AS 789. How is AS 789 going to tell the difference between a packet from me, and a forgery originating from AS 456?

Classic sucker play.

Smart Dude knows something, has some experience, moves into something 'related' where he thinks he knows what's going on, ignoring all classic signs of a scam.

I use Krita, except for a time when it had issues with my graphics tablet and I switched to Gimp. I think Krita is the proof that there's no good reason for Gimp to be as unusable as it is: Krita is free, has all the features I've ever felt the desire to try in an image editor and more (though I probably wouldn't bother loading up a GUI just to convert an SVG to a GIF), has the missing colourspace support, is exceedingly scriptable in a standard way (rather than requiring its own specific way of doing scripts), and does all this via an ordinary, sensible GUI that works the way you expect. Somehow the gnome world seems to have much better marketing than the KDE world (particularly in the US), but I'd urge people (especially people who aren't doing enough image editing to justify a big investment in learning a tool) to check out Krita.
You may get hit by a car outside, plainly - speaking of dangers awaiting - where there is one car, there are more.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the original rationale behind requiring cars to be sold through dealers was to regulate the market and create competition among different dealers. Without that requirement, manufacturers could easily undercut dealers due to lower overhead. I'm not really sure what the point of car dealers is, but they have somehow found a way to prove themselves "necessary" to some lawmakers in some states.
There are some really good suggestions here about the economics and finance in general. I think having a good solid understanding of the financial crisis is valuable in today's world. I recommend "All the Devils are Here" by Bethany McLean. It offers a well rounded, facts-first approach to explaining the crisis. It does not point fingers or assess blaim, which is a valuable perspective.
I didn't take "baseline" to be dismissive, but rather a description of GIMP's venn-diagram overlap with Photoshop. They both make different choices for different reasons, but ensuring that proven useful features eventually land in that overlapping region is a valuable contribution to OSS and proprietary software.
How did the police incite a riot? Did they throw stones at themselves, break windows, and overturn cars? Were plain-clothes officers planted in the crowd as provocateurs? Are the rioters automatons with no control over their own actions, who are irresistibly compelled by the presence of police to start rioting?

As someone who has followed the car industry closely for many years, I disagree. Most automakers have been competing to survive on many dimensions throughout their life. It's just that Tesla has added more dimensions to the mix that automakers didn't prepare for, and playing catch-up takes time with such a complex product.

If it takes a mere 620 G-bit to screw Akamai, then they're obviously not much of a content distribution platform. I only need a few thousand compromised machines in the right countries to run 5+ T-bit scale attacks. This isn't the 90s any more, and Akamai has no reason to not have improved bandwidth capabilities, unless they're doing like the Telecoms companies by saving that money and never using it to improve their own infrastructure.
"Only way" is a bit of an exaggeration (Most popular way for sure). I've had large print houses ask for RGB files so they can control the CMYK conversion on their end (usually in cases when you're trying to get as close as possible to an RGB match).
Not a fan of the design though. I'm sure it's functional but to my eyes it looks more frankencar than daily driver.
I would warn your optimism however, my wife is a lab manager (performs research, publishes, ostensibly as involved in the science as any PHD) but I would by no stretch of the word say she makes "good money"; both of us made more back when we were service workers. The perception in her group is that the positions that pay even close to tech (some of the ones you list, manager at pharma company etc) are almost paramount if not more difficult to e.g. getting a manager position at google. If you're not top of the pile material, good fucking luck. (and you'll likely have some very high expectations to get there, PHD+extensive research the minima of, which again unlike tech, are less able to be fulfilled while making good money as well, and typically require more upfront investment)

I would say that in my experience the closer you get to science (or the further from money, perhaps?) the harder good money is to come by. (Left an academic tech position myself a while back; tripled my salary overnight)
I think the problem is not that, but that the people using geolocating ips do not understand that there is "accuracy" metadata associated with it. Or maybe maxmind (or whoever is using maxmind) are ignoring the accuracy for that specific location. To geolocate someone with just an ip, you should never expect it to be more than "country level" accurate.

I can def see detective Jonhson trying to find child pornographer X with a warrant to get their location based on an ip. The company doing the geolocation might or might not tell them: this is the gps coords, but with an error of a few thousand kms.

Now, if the Arnold's ever want to do something "bad", their situation could've been the perfect cover up :-)

I think the problem isn't that it's "invalid" but that the number returned should be an area and not a point - they have enough information to say the IP is located in the US. It's somewhat reasonable to return this as a center + a radius of certainty, saying, "It's somewhere in this circle" - I'm not sure if Maxmind returns a radius, but I wouldn't put it past the police to see a point in the center of a giant circle and say, "OK, let's go to that point" - not realizing the point of the circle.

In reality, it should probably return a shape file of some sort.

My suspicion (based on nothing) is that they averaged viewing over viewings with length >3 seconds, but _counted_ all views.

I.e. suppose your ad was displayed 5 times for 0.1 seconds and 5 times for 5 seconds. They would report this as "10 views, with average viewing time of 5 seconds".

Unclear is what kind of "deal" they are talking about.

A considerable buy in? A full acquisition?

And, assuming a full acquisition... what would be the gain?

Google has a bad story with attempts at social media, apart from YouTube. (Bought Orkut, killed it, tried Google Plus, went nowhere). Twitter is hard to make profitable without alienating the users with too many ads.

For Google, it would probably be an acquisition like YouTube. With the knowledge that it might never be profitable, but intended to get control over a significant asset. But sharing Google infrastructure and resources could probably bring down operating costs in the medium term.

We'll see.

Hacking is not the same as robbing. Hacker doesn't take anything away from you, except some reputation.
Just chiming in again to add:

Ultimately, sure, someone can get up in your face and yell at you and try to get you to throw a punch but ultimately, it's your job not to throw that punch. I get that.

But in terms of maintaining peace and preventing brawls or riots, you don't want to go out of your way to instigate them. In this case, on the strength of an alleged photo being passed around (again, nobody has a copy of this photo dated before it hit the news), you had riot police shut down transit and corral hundreds of teenagers for hours, unable to leave because you were worried that some teenagers were planning to start trouble.

Watching it all unfold was very frustrating at the time. Basically, the riot cops were there before there was a riot and where there likely wouldn't have been one until they rounded up these hundreds of people and kept them there for hours.

My point isn't that it's someone else's "fault". It's that digital rumors and overreaction to them can be counterproductive if the goal is to keep the peace and not escalate. Just as in my earlier analogy, if you eventually get fed up at the guy screaming threats in your face and punch him, sure, you were the one who threw the punch. But I don't really want to have the screaming guy on my payroll as a guy hired to prevent fights either.

Hey OP - I made Blankslate.io as a side project a little over a year ago. I can't tell whether you've found a vulnerability that's letting you see private notes, and if you have please tell me here or via email (tomasienrbc @ gmail).

However, Blank Slates can be public or private at the user's discretion, so if you've just run a script looking for public notes, then that's just fine. I would love to know either way, so hope to hear from you more!
Yup. Cable subscribers in the USA alone have enough aggregate bandwidth to knock Akamai totally offline if 620 G-bit is something they can't handle. My own uplink is 10 M-bit. 100,000 compromised connections that speed is enough for T-bit scale attacks, and compromising 100,000 machines in the new world of "Idiots of Things" is a no-brainer given almost nobody working in the IoT space even gives a nod towards security.

Surely the 'point' of GIMP development is that the market leading tool (Photoshop) is closed source, not available on Linux, and relies on its dominant market share to make people pay monthly for it?

Climate change could cross key threshold in a decade: scientists
I was talking about expense ratio, not loss ratio. Thought that was pretty clear in my post, but too late for me to edit.

Also if expected losses really are 50%, are we really talking about a projected 70% combined ratio? Forgive my skepticism, but that's really hard to pull off, and there's going to be regulatory pressure to take rate if that happens with any consistency.
Of course we need understanding, the point is whether we need to understand it all. I don't believe that's the case.
Because attacks in software are always getting better, not worse. If it's a smaller company it's a shame - many of them simply don't have the resources to dedicate to properly hardening themselves against attack, and it can destroy their company.

Yeah, I think the best econ and finance journalists are more captivating than a textbook. I'd recommend Matt Levine, Tim Hartford, anything in the Economist magazine Paul Krugman's early essays (before he became a political columnist) as well as the Freakonomics and econtalk podcasts as a general introduction.
I appreciate GIMP for what it is, and use it on the occasion that I can't quickly do what i need with ImageMagick or pixlr. But I'd gladly pay for Photoshop and other Adobe tools if they compiled natively on linux.

One problem with the characterization implied in [a,b] is that it ignores the impossibility of opening a file correctly and completely that was originally compiled in a tool that's been the industry standard for well beyond my own years (I got started on Photoshop 4 in 1996 - the first Windows release, and before then, Paint Shop Pro).

Literally not a single designer I've worked with in the last 15 years as a professional has ever even considered using GIMP (most don't know it exists). So if they want to send me their "source", it's in a PSD. And said source is going to be huge with layer effects / cropping / transitions, and all sorts of advanced Photoshop-specific things applied.

And I'll open that file in GIMP - I try at least once a year - and it will show maybe 5-10% of the layers and will look nothing like the original. And then I'll fire up Windows in a VM and actually get work done.

As for starting my own projects in GIMP, I fall squarely into group "a", and I feel no shame for it.

a) User has tried GIMP, but didn't take time to learn enough to get past things that aren't obvious.

b) User has heard that GIMP is hard to use, and is not an adequate tool for professionals.
Can you cite any cases where the case has gone to judgement?
I hope the couple of sites who have been doing these multi-day releases swiftly see that they are not getting people to the end of the story. I know I have read a few with posts in the 3/7, 1/7 ranges but I haven't touched a multiday article with 7/7.

No, it isn't since go lacks generics and dynamic types - which helps to reduce boilerplate(even if the latter isn't that effective).

> Of course it's not as clean as Python, it's statically typed.

There are cleaner statically typed languages then python - look at fp languages with type inference(ML dialect)

> But type inference makes code way cleaner than your typical Java code (Javas type inference is improving, though).

The typical java code is legacy, but for a fair comparison you should check out projectlombok [1]. Otherwise, Java is on the JVM which means there are alternatives like Scala/Kotlin etc.

No, this is bonkers. It's like trying to defeat racial profiling by requiring policemen to wear horse-blinkers. Public is public; if you meant to send it to a limited audience, send it to that audience.

Otherwise you end up with bizarre conclusions such as police twitter accounts requiring a court order to follow someone.

A certain amount of what police properly do is "surveillance" - of a particular area or situation. What does become a problem is the use of directed police attention as harassment, for political purposes, or in a racial or otherwise discriminatory way.
Oh, of course. It's just that I don't think that "what's the point?" is as significant a question as many believe it is.
