There are so many stories of LinkedIn grabbing contact lists that people don't remember allowing. It happened to me.

Was it nefarious? Did they exploit a vulnerability? Did they trick me?

It all amounts to the same thing if LinkedIn is doing something to so many people who don't believe they gave consent. There's no way this is proper informed consent.

I think the problem is some people don't just unfollow when they don't like tweets, they start a flame war. Worse, they will attack people they don't follow because one of their friend retweeted something for the sake of starting a flame war.

Add to that the fact that 140 characters are not enough to put nuances and develop an argument, and you get an environment that fosters trolls. It's not limited to a specific way of thinking (i.e. SJW)

This is a direct consequence of the way twitter works with everything public, retweeting, etc.

Those are not the same thing. "Decentralised" implies that the functionality is provided by a bunch of nodes that communicate together. A MediaWiki instance is a single website that doesn't communicate to other MediaWiki instances for its functionality.

Smallest Federated Wiki (https://wardcunningham.github.io/) is closer to what a decentralised wiki software would be.

One of the problems with systemd seems to be that it makes init scripts look simpler by spreading their complexity across multiple files all over the filesystem instead. The unit file systemd proponents were showing off as an example a few years back certainly looked simple compared to the init script it replaced... until you realise that its functionality had actually been split across several unit files and a bunch of shell scripts that they called. Look at this article and just count number of moving parts involved in getting NFS working with systemd too. Multiple service, target and socket unit files with the same name but subtly different behaviour, multi-hundred-line shell scripts in a directory most people won't even realise exists modifying some of them at runtime, ... In non-systemd init systems that'd all probably be one init script, and the fact that it was all in one place would sure make it look more complex.

Sorry, I was very sloppy with the wording. What I meant to say is that monogamous marriage of the kind that is popular in many societies today is a fairly new thing in the perspective of evolution. Most evidence suggests that we introduced monogamy when we went to agricultural societies. I have updated the text. But my argument still holds.
For me, Turing completeness means being able to implement every computable function of type Integer -> Integer. Total languages can't do that. They need an additional input that bounds the number of steps, but the whole point of Turing completeness is not needing that input, but rather being able to run any Turing machine until it stops on its own. Otherwise you'd be forced to conclude that many languages known to be not Turing complete, like the simply typed lambda calculus, are Turing complete in disguise, and the definition loses all teeth.

This is similar to the Brown-Palsberg self-interpreter in a total language, which caused a lot of confusion recently because it's not a self-interpreter (it doesn't take source code as an argument). I think it's better to stick with common definitions and accept that total languages are not Turing complete and can't self-interpret.
Also, a lot of things that were trivial before will now have a long series of dependencies.
It didn't happen that way. See the comment by ikeboy.

Hacker News does the same, incidentally:

I always found that weird about the American system. "Free speech" on the one hand, and yet extreme reactions to political opinions everywhere. You regularly find Americans who publicly declare that they won't work with people with particular opinions. It switches which side is the one overtly silencing the other, which is also weird. When I was a teenager, it was definitely republicans silencing people, and yet today, not so much.

Very weird.

> Which made me re-evaluate systemd. Fundamentally creating a monolithic tool to take over from many small single purpose tools seems counter to the UNIX philosophy, and makes it harder to hack on my (mostly desktop/laptop) systems.

What UNIX philosophy? The biggest UNIX in the world is Linux, which is a monolithic kernel. The UNIX philosophy lives on in apps, but not down that low.

There's an easy solution: only give UBI to full citizens. Since you usually need to live in and pay taxes in a country for ~10 years to get full citizenship, this is an easy solution.

Like most easy solutions, it's probably too extreme, some permanent residents definitely deserve UBI too. But it doesn't seem difficult to imagine an appropriate test based on years of residency, et cetera. It's certainly an easier problem than some others, like how to pay for UBI.

> They're also shadowbanning many accounts of those who support Trump. Scott Adams recently switched his endorsement, and within a few days was shadowbanned.

More accurately, that's the reason Scott Adams gives.

Twitter hasn't (as far as I know) responded yet.

Since Adams is known to use sock-puppets there might be something else going on.

Why would Twitter ban trump supporters and not all the other really vile people infesting twitter?

Maybe the other person let LinkedIn/Facebook access their contacts and then the service sees they haven't reached out to you so it checks if you want to reach out to them.

> I think it means the same thing as shadow banning. We have largely phased that out, except for spammers and serial trolls. For the most part we tell people that we banned them by posting a reply to one of their comments, and when they seem rehabilitable (I suppose that's not a word?) we invite them to email hn@ycombinator.com if they want to be unbanned.

Yep, decentralized is really nice and would be perfect if everyone just did it, but it's never going to happen so the only model that can have a reasonable chance to take the place of centralized systems is a federated one. It removes all the burden of installation, administration, safeguarding, scaling, etc from the users.

Each of my children has an email account that I configured on my own domain. When I enrolled them in a soccer team I used their email address in form. I get forwarded every email that they receive, but by noticing the To: field I can determine to who it was intended. I have been doing this for a few other sport teams.
Well, they continuously receive invitations to join LinkedIn from the soccer coach. He cannot be doing this on purpose. LinkedIn is swallowing his contact list and sending invites indiscriminately to every address.He could have uploaded on purpose, or most probably 'auto-approved' as said above. Yet, it doesn't change that this practice is desperate to say the least or actually, sick is a better term.
'Unusually' better captures the meaning you intend. Both words denote roughly the same, but they differ a great deal in their connotations.

Because they work for the Clintons and Saudi Arabia.

You seem to be caught in the notion that you acquire information in a vacuum, and that propagandists don't subtly alter or omit information as to further their own interests. Best of luck with that.

With regards to Sanders, as best I can tell, you seem to be upset that your candidate wasn't exempted from both the political process and the democratic process. I'm unsympathetic to people who cry after they lose a game and want the rules changed for themselves, which is essentially what you're arguing for now. Sanders joined public service at the same time the Clintons did, if he wanted to gain power on a national stage there was nothing stopping him. The tricks utilized against him are nothing compared to the sustained attacks the Clintons have weathered for 25+ years, much less what Barack overcame in a single election. Everyone else seems to get along just fine, but for some reason we're all supposed to stop and rewrite human nature when Sanders supporters learn how the world actually works.

If you think all these games are unfair, they are - and so what? They're nothing compared to the politics played on the international stage by Putin, Xi Jingping et al. There's no imaginary referee that you can go run to whenever someone is mean to you internationally, just as there isn't one in an election locally. I expect my president to find ways to adapt, just as I would when a hostile nation tries to sabotage their political process. FWIW, Sanders himself understands this fully, hasn't complained or cried about it, and is using his opportunity to the fullest to effect positive change in the world.

The final fact you seem keen to ignore is that Clinton won her nomination by over 3,000,000 votes. For some reason the clear will of the electorate isn't a good enough reason for you to accept her nomination, and instead you insist that this process be ignored so your preferred candidate is instead nominated.

As for the email 'scandal', I'll again pass. I'm equally unsympathetic to people who try and change topics to avoid admitting they're wrong.
It is extremely well documented in `man systemd.service` and `man systemd.unit`. Read the option descriptions in the section pertaining to what you want to do of each, look at the examples, and you should be good to go.
It could be some kind of 'target blank' attack, if you have Gmail open in one tab then open a link from a linkedin email onto their site, they have access to your gmail window and can probably get your contacts.

Oh I know this. It did go over most people's heads and many thought he was serious about his Clinton endorsement. He then "came out" for Trump.

Both languages have a rich development ecosystem, but I would vote for .NET on the basis that C#, the most common .NET language is statically typed. This is a significant productivity boost for developers, as the integrity of your program is checked at compile-time as opposed to run-time.

You can also theoretically reuse any existing Ruby libraries with IronRuby but I don't know how good that is because I've never done it.

There are licensing costs with .NET but these are usually not significant if the company is well-established. Considering your company can apparently afford two teams that would appear to be the case.

Note: I have been a .NET developer for the last 6 years, and while I have used Ruby on Rails and Chef a fair bit, I may have missed some important features of Ruby. I'd love to know if there are any killer features that I have overlooked.

Our contemporary climate is only fully understood by surveying who has power today; the dominance of finance and the enthusiastic redundancy of politicians in thrall to the markets and the deep state have resulted ultimately in a catastrophic erosion of democracy. Without examining these deliberate shifts, attempts to rectify them architecturally will be tokenistic at best. Dubai is the obvious example of somewhere where the paradise of a few is propped up by the misery of many. This model is being replicated to varying degrees throughout the world. All utopias are dystopias, we have been endlessly told. They neglect to tell us the reverse is also true.

That blog has already been discussed various times on Hacker News. The author makes some questionable claims. A security issue is not good, but it's not remotely executable, nor has any relation to being triggered via Twitter. Although this is clarified in the blog, the summary is very misleading.

The same author also made a followup blog with even more strange arguments. Saying that systemd security features doesn't matter more or less because applications should be secure by themselves / do that on their own.

I'd refrain from forming your opinion solely on blogposts such as these.
The kernel is monolithic because that design makes sense with respect to speed and the general design of kernels at the time linux was created. I really, really doubt you can say the same about init systems -- especially systemd.

This is not a detention under the NDAA. This case has nothing to do with the NDAA. Further, Obama's signing statement of that law stated that his Administration believed such provision to be unnecessary and unconstitutional:

"Moreover, I want to clarify that my Administration will not authorize the indefinite military detention without trial of American citizens. Indeed, I believe that doing so would break with our most important traditions and values as a Nation. My Administration will interpret section 1021 in a manner that ensures that any detention it authorizes complies with the Constitution, the laws of war, and all other applicable law."

Hedges v. Obama did not affirm the constitutionality of that law, but rather that that plaintiff did not have a sufficient interest in that provision in order to ensure that they would present the best case that can be made, which is important because US Court's follow precedent. If you'd like to read more, look for the constitutional requirement of Standing.
