ICANN Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy

...

b. Evidence of Registration and Use in Bad Faith. For the purposes of Paragraph 4(a)(iii), the following circumstances, in particular but without limitation, if found by the Panel to be present, shall be evidence of the registration and use of a domain name in bad faith:

(i) circumstances indicating that you have registered or you have acquired the domain name primarily for the purpose of selling, renting, or otherwise transferring the domain name registration to the complainant who is the owner of the trademark or service mark or to a competitor of that complainant, for valuable consideration in excess of your documented out-of-pocket costs directly related to the domain name; or

(ii) you have registered the domain name in order to prevent the owner of the trademark or service mark from reflecting the mark in a corresponding domain name, provided that you have engaged in a pattern of such conduct; or

(iii) you have registered the domain name primarily for the purpose of disrupting the business of a competitor; or

(iv) by using the domain name, you have intentionally attempted to attract, for commercial gain, Internet users to your web site or other on-line location, by creating a likelihood of confusion with the complainant's mark as to the source, sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement of your web site or location or of a product or service on your web site or location.

Is this something OWS could be subpoena'd for? Or something that the government would just subpoena Google for?

(I mean, given a phone number, can't you identify someone's Google Play account anyway? That sounds more useful.)
Unfortunately your opinion runs contrary to basic jurisprudence.
Exactly, did he read the article?
Definitely do it. I need someone to explain it too me. Too many ifs ands and buts for it to make sense.
No, not really - they can decide at any time to start storing that metadata of their own will, use it internally, sell it to advertisers or turn it over via a direct law enforcement portal if they want. Their access alone is in many ways a problem.
I thought there were a bunch of "chans". Won't the others just replace 4chan in user share?

Maybe they hardcoded the data in the views. Might be the cool way to do it soon enough.
Is it safe to assume then that WhatsApp is not secure? Unless their data has been subpoena'd as well?
I've used it via "verified by visa" with two banks in two countries.

In both cases, there is a custom phrase that I provide the bank, which is then provided on the 3D-secure page where i enter the sms OTP.

Honestly so long as they show me the phrase I gave them, I couldn't give two shits if it looks like it was designed in 2002, at least that keeps it consistent with the rest of their online banking page styles.
I love that they gave them the info in unix millis.

A serious question though, how do gag orders work? How do I notify an attorney?
> Unfortunately, the protocols that enable truly traffic–analysis-resistant messaging (I believe the Pynchon Gate[1] is currently the best-of-breed) tend to have increased latency and consume greatly-increased bandwidth.

Yeah both of these are a pretty large problem for a messaging service designed to replace SMS on phones. Really anything other than a forum or email replacements will have a very hard time getting adopted if they have too much latency.
How would they be able to do that? Can you quote where in the article you got that and how that would happen?

"Notably, things we don't have stored include anything about a user's contacts (such as the contacts themselves, a hash of the contacts, any other derivative contact information), anything about a user's groups (such as how many groups a user is in, which groups a user is in, the membership lists of a user's groups), or any records of who a user has been communicating with."

If they don't store the contacts, or even a hash of the contact, how can you figure out who was talking to who?
You said "exaggerate" which was a tacit acknowledgement that you know and have seen the income-adjusted numbers. Obviously the income-adjusted numbers are less dramatic, but they are just as damning.

What's no way to conduct a rational discussion is when any figure, no matter how well-researched, is immediately called into question apropos of nothing.
I wonder how many of those "stopped" complaints would have been frivolous or made in hopes of cash settlement. Even if only a few percent, body cameras seem like a no brainer, good for everyone. Except to corrupt people (on both side of badge).
Heh, I always think that about symbols as well.

It doesn't currently do anything smart with your character set; right now it uses characters you'd find on a US keyboard. That is something I'd like to look into.

What you're doing here is fetishizing some arbitrary knowledge that you've set up as a litmus test. I've hired probably close to a hundred engineers by this point in my career, and I have to say, unless you are hiring for specialists to fill a very specific purpose, the only test that matters is Joel Spolsky's smart-and-gets-things-done test. There are plenty of web developers out there who only ever used jQuery and thus never learned javascript properly—that says nothing about their talent. There is a good portion of them who, upon being told, "we don't use jQuery here, just raw javascript" will learn and be better at it than you in a couple months. Even more importantly, any good engineer is going to have a lot experience which you don't have, and which to you is an unknown unknown. The best team is made up of diverse backgrounds and experience, not a bunch of people who managed to pass through a series of arbitrary knowledge gates.
> Standard police practice. After a 60-day suspension, he'll be back on the streets.

this seems to be the standard response to any policy brutality or corruption article. what can ACTUALLY be done?
When the DNC leaked happened, no news paper talked about it. It was just politics and that is not news. The odds that political intrigues is talked about is about equal to the odds that a movie of a cat will be watched online. Such content is neither earth shattering or interesting, and public opinion on the two US candidates is already so low that it can't possible go down more. Even if they released video recording of one of the candidates ordering an assassination, the odds is fairly low that even a single vote will change.

I'm curious what type of metadata Facebook would have from the signal integrations with Whatsapp and Messenger. Is there more, less, or same? Has anyone looked in to this?

Interesting - "Amazon calculates a product’s star ratings using a machine learned model instead of a raw data average. The machine learned model takes into account factors including: the age of a review, helpfulness votes by customers and whether the reviews are from verified purchases."
Measuring absolute brightness is hard. It would be good to compare the measurement error is in brightness of a reference star of about the same magnitude and distance(and even perhaps a known variable star) to the observed changes in this star.

In the lab under ideal conditions with ideal light sources, it's pretty common for there to be >2.5% error in these types of measurements. For those used to dB unit, this is a ~0.1dB change. In optics, it's very easy to introduce error at this level.
They are quite different.

- Ansible is a standalone tool with a very broad scope ("automation for everyone").

- InfraKit is an embeddable component with a very narrow scope ("create and manage declarative, self-healing infrastructure").

If Ansible were written today, it could probably embed InfraKit to implement low-level infrastructure management.
I've always been curious about the impact of smartphones on blinds.

>>Sexual offence data is not rocket science

It is though. The definition of sexual offence changes between countries. Simplest example being that in some places public urination is a sexual offence, despite not having anything to do with sex. And because that definition is not consistent between countries, it cannot be reasonably compared.

>>n Sweden's case, it would also help if the race/nationality of the attacker was disclosed

And why would it be? What for? A rapist is a rapist, regardless of their nationality.

You might do just fine substituting archetype with template. The readme for https://github.com/electrode-io/electrode-archetype-react-ap... reads: "This "app archetype" provides for common patterns across all app projects so that each app project can standardize on common development behavior and patterns. Its essentially pre-made patterns for build scripts." "A pre-made pattern" sounds a lot like a template. The majority of the documentation focuses on applied concepts, with familiar terms. The only reference to archetypes is found in the first paragraph of What is Electrode, and I think it distracts and confuses more than it helps. If it is a core concept, then it might be good to link to https://github.com/FormidableLabs/builder, but I don't yet see where or if builder is included as part of electrode.

Error Messages – Best Practices in Mobile UX Design
Backwards Word Challenge//Eating PEPPER WATERMELON
Once heard that Vice was an millennial neoliberal apologist, didn't believe it till seeing this article.
Because he doesn't believe in pseudo-scientific voodoo.
Not quite right. Mono has the lovely mkbundle tool which can do what the poster wants: AOT your intermediate/byte code and build a statically linked executable containing your app, the runtime, and all your deps (except for key system dynamic libraries like libc or Security.framework, similar to how go works).

No restrictions on reflection, unlike .NET Native (which has slightly different design goals).

I've used it many times for just this reason with great results. Plus, the runtime was re-licensed to MIT/X11.
The messages and calls are routed through their servers, so they could (but do not) store whatever metadata is required to route messages and calls. This would at least be the recipient's account and IP address, the sender's IP address (but not necessarily their account), and the current time.

I believe the GP is echoing zeverb's sentiment, that it would be preferable if OWS (Signal) could not even be ordered to collect such data.

The thing I don't understand about the GP's post is "but someone else could be storing it". I would expect the entire message (including headers / metadata) to be encrypted in transit, with a pinned key, so that only OWS has access to the routing metadata. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Those who hate Trump also won't change their opinions, regardless of what they think about Clinton. It's a choice between "at worst, try again in four years for real improvement" and "this is the end".

Hmm... depending on your point of view, I guess either of those options could apply to either candidate. We've become way too polarised.
Pieter,

I don't know you, and I don't even know who you are, but my heart goes out to you. Nobody should have to suffer in pain, and I deeply respect you for taking control of your last moments.

Fare thee well.
If the premise of the GP is that it's a class/wealth problem, not a race problem, and police disproportionately use excessive force or degrading tactics against the poor, you haven't really provided a counter example. Since black people are more likely to be poor (and racism, institutional and otherwise, likely plays a role in this), you would see more cases of excessive force used against them under this premise.

It's entirely possible, and I think quite likely, that both are occurring. The question then arises as to which is a stronger factor. I suspect that they are close enough in strength that it may change from region to region, city to city.
Simple Git to FTP-deployments for your small projects
You make a good point- there's really only a handful of things that get duplicated. Maybe instead we should be working on just fixing up those things. Like if there was an easy way to share validation logic from the backend to the frontend... then that would only be needed to be updated once.

We don't need to share everything
The difference is a random citizen shooting you will go to jail if they get caught. A police officer will get paid leave with a presumption that you did something to cause it while it is "investigated" by their brothers/sisters in blue.
If you ended the war on drugs you would need less cops on the beat. That would be a great time to bust up the unions.
Agreed. I started a new project a few months ago, and if I had listened to the advice in the threads that have popped up around this whiny article, I would have had to refactor my codebase 6 times already by "adding the stuff I need."

I made a decision from the start to use React, Redux, and Webpack with ES6/Babel. There was a bit of a learning curve, but I couldn't be happier using those tools. Recently I started adding Immutable, and I wish I had done so from the start.

I've tried adding Flow and Typescript to the project, and it's a major pain in the ass to do it now. I would have done it from the start, but I made the mistake of listening to some of those voices going on about "unnecessary complexity" and left it out.

I'd like to invite all the people saying to start a project in Vanilla JS or jQuery to do so, and let me know how it's going when you've got 15k lines of code and you want to refactor your app to use some of those complex tools.
I got some kind of twisted pleasure out of seeing this wasn't about class and race. We need more good old-fashioned white-on-white abuse-of-power cases to get old white people to wake up from their Nixon/Reagan tough-on-crime daydream and start taking police issues seriously.
You can still render placeholders from the server and fill these in with React
The article stated that they didn't fire him because it probably wouldn't survive a civil service appeal, and that they would have to hire him back without pay.

In other words, they are too afraid of being sued, they say. But I'm pretty sure the reality is that they could fire him anyway. Prosecute him under the same sorts of laws they would prosecute someone else commiting an act of violence in a similar situation. Fight the civil suit, and ask that it be held until after the criminal case is over with.

In the longer term, have better training for police, not just the ones that happened to get caught. If anything, the training clearly outlines how they expect their employees to act so that they have better outcomes in civil cases in the future.

A rare insight into Amazon’s experimental culture – Conversion Rate Experts
> Just because $policy has a disproportionate effect on one race or another doesn't make $policy racist

Yes it does, even if it is completely accidental and without malice. Racism is not only a way people feel about other people who are racially different from them, it is also a construction of systematic discrimination.

But the fact is that the "war on drugs" happens to be racist with malice.

> or mean that we should abolish it.

It does if you want to live in a more just society; or even if you just want to live in a healthy, functioning society. Policies which disproportionately harm a group of people lead to a permanent underclass. Even if you don't care about the people who are impacted the most, it undermines all of the other institutions of society.

> The reasons why marijuana should be legal have nothing to do with racially disproportionate effects of enforcement.

There are many, many reasons to legalize marijuana (and nearly all of them apply to all other drugs). One of those reasons is absolutely the harm that its prohibition has caused to people of color and poor whites.
At the bottom of the gag order is states that OWS "may disclose the attached subpoena to an attorney for [OWS] for the purpose of receiving legal advice".
The first two are great. Deepness is the best one, IMO. As for anything beyond that, I'll just say it's so sad he stopped at two.

Because of the police unions: not much. They are shamelessly intent on keeping the most demonstrably unqualified officers on the force, regardless of their behavior.

Philadelphia is particularly bad:

"Through arbitration about nine of every 10 officers Ramsey has let go have found their way back onto the force, the Fraternal Order of Police told Hairston. And, about 75 of reinstated officers also get their full benefits and full back pay, according to the FOP." [1]
