The old version from pre-GPLv3 times is Samba 3.0.x. It's over nine years old.

No vendor ships that version anymore. I don't think modern Windows clients will even connect to it now (no working NTLMv2).

The ones who didn't want the GPLv3 (Apple) either wrote their own or purchased a proprietary third party server such as Likewise and were left holding a flaming bag of shit when EMC purchased the Likewise codebase and cancelled all existing support contracts. You'd think people would learn, but there are still vendors out there gambling on using proprietary third party SMB3 servers (hoping the same won't happen to them :-).

> both Linux and macOS (but not Windows AFAIK) allow unprivileged processes to use at will

Only sort of true on Linux. Most Linux distributions make /dev/kvm non-world-accessible because it's a good source of security issues (see e.g. http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/USN-2417-1/ ); the KVM driver isn't quite hardened against people who are trying to compromise the host kernel instead of actually make a VM. PolicyKit often gives access to the current logged-in desktop user, but that's precisely because those processes aren't quite unprivileged (e.g., processes running as the logged-in desktop user can usually shut down the machine or prevent it from sleeping without authentication).

Which leads to an interesting point: doing this in software, as Vx32 and Native Client do, fails safe. Since it's just regular user code, it can't possibly do things that regular user code can't do, and you can belt-and-suspenders it with an extremely tight seccomp policy on the emulator (as Chrome does). If you do this at the OS level via seccomp directly, and the OS gets it wrong, it fails open (e.g., CVE-2009-0835), but still shouldn't allow execution of non-user-mode code. If you do this at the CPU level via privilege rings, the CPU isn't very likely to get it wrong -- but if it does it fails very open (i.e., into a privileged ring) and is the hardest to patch.

Are they also publicly shaming bikers who blatantly break traffic laws?

EDIT: I say this as both a cyclist and a driver. I can't believe how often I see cyclists do dangerous things. But for sure, I see a lot of drivers do mean, dangerous and stupid things, too. I just get tired of cyclists thinking that traffic laws don't apply to us.

So Germany bans WhatsApp from collecting data on its users(whether you agree with this or not, at least WhatsApp provides a service with some utility). Yet, not less than a week later, demands that WiFi operators collect data on its users for the RIAA/MPAA.

Don't let the name copyright owners fool you into thinking that this is about actual content creators. The case that in question is Sony vs. Some German Open WiFi operator. Bravo EU! Middle men with sophisticated lobbying experience can get access to user data, but actual content and platform creators can't.

It's clear to me that the EU doesn't truly care about user privacy. They just have an irrational bug up their ass when it comes to American tech companies.
Unlikely. Although I was recently almost run over by a cyclist booting it up the wrong way on 5th. Delivery person, so I suppose he felt "justified".

That's a separate problem, and statements like this give drivers permission to run roughshod over what limited infrastructure and protections are currently available for people on bicycles.

This study (http://searchengineland.com/google-research-even-if-you-rank...) is a bit old and possibly biased (since sponsored by Google) but when I worked in SEM the experience we had was the same which was the top organic position + the top paid position netted overall more traffic to our site than with just the organic position alone. The other considerations are:

1) Brand SEM terms are cheap - if you own the brand, especially something like Squarespace, your ad will have a high quality score and will thus pay a much lower CPC than a competitor trying to vie for eyeballs with your brand name as a keyword. This means that brand terms generally are pretty cheap to buy.

2) Real estate ownership - The more real estate on the page you own the more click share you will get. This will keep other organic listings from getting click share which may mean your competitors will get less traffic off of searches for you.

3) Control over message - Ads provide a high degree of creative control which means you can change the copy and also add on Ad Extensions like sitelinks, app download buttons, "click to call" buttons, etc. These are all things that are harder to control on your organic listing.
Cyclists have to operate under a different ruleset than drivers for a variety of reasons. Most of the time it involves breaking away from traffic packs for safety or keeping away from dense, scary situations. That said, there are many events in which rule-breaking cyclists are just being assholes.

But let's back up for a second and look at this dynamic differently. An automobile is a metal cage moving over 3 times the speed of a cyclist with a completely safe and insulated cabin. If a driver behaves dangerously near a cyclist, the cyclist dies. If a cyclist misbehaves near a driver, the driver is very far from harm.

Cities are funny places. Off topic mildly but still vehicles using bike lanes...

I often wonder about armored delivery vehicles - ATM/cash movement firms like Brinks. Do they have some sort of deal with cities to not receive tickets for blocking lanes, standing in bus lanes, bike lanes, not paying for parking, etc... or do they actually get tickets, paying them as they come in? Or are they some sort of specialized vehicle?
Great explanation - I'll add two things.

1. If you're not there, someone else is. If Nike didn't buy brand terms, adidas would and would steal tons of customers.

2. Paid results (and other results like maps, shopping, etc) often push organic results below the fold so no one sees them. You need to be above the fold.

I developed a series of patches for the RPi kernel fork. I use the Pi headless, and generally access it from a Windows machine.

I never tried to send those patches upstream - and the Pi fork uses Github for such things - but I'm entirely confident that if I tried to paste those patches into an email client somewhere along the line, I'd get an upstream maintainer pointing out that magical line breaks blew something up somewhere.

This is a step in the right direction. A more positively impactful step would be to stigmatize the ownership and operation of a motor vehicle. No one actually _needs_ a car in NYC; those who _want_ a car must be treated the same as smokers: pushed to the fringes by making their behavior socially unacceptable.

>But let's back up for a second and look at this dynamic differently.

Then, let's think for a second and realize that a driver is not an evil demon who will just laugh when a bicycle gets in the way and, while trying to avoid killing a cyclist, may as well get into danger himself/endanger other people.

Ffs, people create pileups trying to avoid dogs jumping in the traffic, you believe nobody will blink an eye when a cyclist does the same?

FWIW, I would presume the reason that was added would be some shortcoming(s) in [1], since I doubt they wrote a minifilter driver just for kicks.

(It might have been that some programs were doing IO that avoided triggering the change notification, and a sufficiently large {number of customers,customer} complained about it.)

I don't work for Dropbox, and I haven't used the API, but as I said, I really doubt they added a (signed) driver requirement lightly.

What's really needed is to segregate cars from pedestrians. Tunnels for self driving electric cars, cars otherwise banned. Part of why Venice is so beautiful.

Yes I know, tunnels are expensive. Surely there's a way to bring technological deflation to tunneling. For starters, self driving electric cars would emit no noxious gasses and could have narrower tunnels with higher capacity.

Just for city centers, make up for all that wasted automotive space (parking, roads) with higher density and more life.

There are a few twitter accounts I follow who post some egregious infractions throughout SF. There have been some wins [1], but unfortunately I see the same types of violations by commercial vehicles posted over and over again and I think those drivers just don't care (and as far as I can tell they face little to no enforcement).

And for those on the high horse about cyclists breaking laws, just remember that nearly 100% of drivers break the law every time they drive --- speeding. Drivers think that going 30mph in a 25mph zone or 40mph in a 35mph zone isn't a big deal, but those small differences in speed mean a lot to people outside of vehicles if they get hit [2].

Also I haven't seen any data that shows that the most common cyclist infraction that everybody complains about, yielding at stop signs, actually is more dangerous. Yet it is very easy to show that speeding by vehicles is incredibly dangerous and costs many lives every year.

This is a separate issue and should not be conflated.

The impact of dangerous cycling is orders of magnitude lower and unlike dangerous driving does not significantly endanger others.
I remember reading that when Microsoft started contributing some code to the Linux kernel (to support Hyper-V mostly) they had to run their own Linux server in house so they could send properly formatted emails for their patches, since they had no way to send email that wouldn't be messed-up by their Outlook servers.

Of course it can (and should) be done by multiple people, but there is an essentially unlimited supply of postdocs and graduate students from China and India who are willing to work long hours. A graduate student salary is peanuts for a US citizen compared to industry, not so for someone from a third-world country. This isn't hyperbole - more than half of the graduate students at my University were not born in the US. Graduate students 3-4 years into their PhD face tremendous pressure not to quit, and you usually make the decision to go into graduate school very early in your career.

For Github organizations, can't you forward notifications to a mailing list? Then everyone on the mailing list can see everyone's comments and respond through email but you still get to keep Github and all of its advantages.
Sure you can edit a finished, mixed song, but it takes a lot of skill, and realistically no one's going to do it without stems. If a song is an executable, it can expose user-friendly adjustable parameters. So one song could have infinite variations. A pirate could record one of those variations and share it, but that's much less valuable than the executable / stems.

I am baffled by the suggestion that a Raspberry Pi could ever be considered a competitor to an Arduino. It's akin to saying a Doctor could equally use a scalpel or a kitchen knife for surgery. It is possible, but there are different knives for different jobs for good reasons.

Yeah driver support is lacking. We have support for some Intel NICs and some Intel wifi. Basically we only have drivers for stuff we use. If you have the time it would be great if you could write a driver for your hardware. :)

Sure, a small child, infant, and nascent zygote human are helpless and cannot be self-sustaining. Great point. I'll restrict myself to adults who have the capability to act upon the world for this discussion from here on out.

> How much agency does a human raised illiterate far away from civilization have?

Is your definition of agency in this context,

* the state of being in action or of exerting power; operation, or

* a means of exerting power or influence; instrumentality?

Nothing in those definitions have anything to do with literacy or society. It seems to me that an adult far away from civilization has as much agency as his brains and muscles can deliver: there's no rules for that person to be concerned with other than laws of nature. They're able to exercise their raw humanity.

Obviously, such an adult lacks the amplifying powers of chemicals, electricity, computers, transport, etc that we have. But, who are we to judge the power/potential/quality of a feral human adult in the wild to do incredible things with his environment? Agency is a trait, not a quantity, and that's why it's a birthright. (It can be denied a person, however.)

Just do some thought experiments. What's the most powerful thing you could imagine yourself accomplishing before you died if we dropped you off in the wilderness with nothing but the clothes on your back? Don't just stop at "curl up and die", really shoot for the moon. I came up with some amazing things.

Now, if you were to argue that humans have nearly limitless potential but are impotent to realize that potential without the work of others, then I'd say you're on to something really profound and worth exploring and optimizing for, philosophical.

But, I think what you've stated here is that an individual apart from society somehow has diminished agency. You're either confusing concepts or underestimating man.
In a graphical model, you'd explicitly model the probabilistic assumptions that you make with respect to the data. In this neural network-based approach the goal can be thought of more like learning a function that maps from some input to some desired output. But indeed the form of the propagation rule resembles mean field inference in graphical models.
