"what these people did is the real form of protest"

yes! and personally i would say, that they returned to normal.
The whole story was prompted by a non-ironic tweet that their internet was cut off, so it fits.
Instead of jumping on this as a giant conspiracy, it might be worth considering that it's just that his internet went down.

I mean, until there is actual evidence that Hillary Clinton[1] deployed a highly trained collection of seals (the animal, not the US military contingent) to cut through his tube wires in the death of the night and then pelt across hide park and hide in the serpentine, perhaps we should just consider that public services in the UK are incompetent.

My internet went down last week, you don't see me reaching for the anti-seal spray.

[1] Well, the robot that replaced Hillary Clinton obviously, as we all know she's been dead for 20 years
> With a keyboard and a mouse, I have to reach over, select the whole line (being careful not to over or under select), hit Ctrl+C, move the cursor down to the beginning of the next line, and hit Ctrl+V.

Sure, but who does that?

In any text editor on the Mac its:

- Command-Left to move to the beginning of the line
- Shift-Command-Right to select to the end of the line
- Command-C to copy
- Command-V to paste

One annoying thing about that, though, is that it doesn't copy the newline itself, so if you want to paste the line and the line terminator multiple times, you need to do something more like:

- Command-Left to move to the beginning of the line
- Shift-Command-Right to select to the end of the line
- Shift-Right to select the newline
- Command-C to copy
- Command-V to paste

But, of course, most full-featured text editors make that easier. In Sublime and Atom, it's:

- Command-L to select the current line
- Command-C to copy
- Command-V to paste
Yeah that makes sense, but it seems fair to argue that relative to other forms of government, a properly balanced democracy which offsets the functions of government tends to be more stable and last longer than competing alternatives such as dictatorships or communism.
State actors can jam the spectrum and make wireless communication impossible.
Why are you against open core in general assuming the open source part isn't crippled as part of the strategy?

As long as the open core is still a quality product with good support and documentation I don't see the problem. Nearly every other open source database seems to be built this way and it seems to be working fairly well for GitLab (who are also pretty open about their development of the EE although the EE itself is not open source).
Hmmm... https://www.billofrightsinstitute.org/founding-documents/bil...

I'm not seeing "citizens" or "non-citizens" in any of these contexts.

What I do see is: "Congress shall make no law", "right of the people", "consent of owner", and likewise.

It's an unpopular view of the Bill of Rights, but shouldn't these rights be extended to everyone, and not merely "citizens"? Cause I'm certainly not seeing that word anywhere in there.
A perisope user went into the embassy and said their mobile stopped working while inside.

Random, unverified claim, but all we have.
Seems totally unnecessary, considering he could just be handed someone else's laptop, right? I'd imagine it would have to be the entire embassy, or else the network that he has access to in his space.
Two ways they can avoid breaking the law in the future:

1) Stop unlawfully collecting data.

2) Pass into law a bill that would make it legal.

Which do you think they'll do?
The Unreasonable power of a thousand small optimizations
There's a Supreme Court case I wish more people heard of called San Antonio Independent School District vs Rodriguez.

It’s basically thanks to this decision that kids who grow up with wealthy families get good clean schools and well-paid teachers and kids in poor families get leaky roofs and hand-me downs. This decision crushed social mobility in America.

Anecdotal, but the only AMP page I've visited is Reddit and it doesn't load for me on an iPhone 6 in Chrome.
The very first thing I do on any default Vim config is

:imap kj <Esc>

And then Vim kinda makes sense to me. Pressing <Esc> each time is such an anti-pattern imho.
The fundamentals of electric engines aren't very complicated. Manufacturing an actual all-the-bits modern luxury electric vehicle is way, way, way more complicated than making a phone, and also hard in a very different way than making a phone.

One of the things that has made me never really believe in Apple's competitive advantage with cars is that beyond an ultra-high talking points level ("design!"), I don't see any reason to believe that Apple has relevant expertise.
I'm still processing this information, and holding out to form a full opinion until more details become available/confirmed.

In the meantime, I'm curious, for people who are angry about this: suppose it is actually true that Assange is working together with Russian hackers in an attempt to influence a US election. Do you believe there is any point at which governments should intervene to protect national sovereignty and integrity of the political process?

If WikiLeaks was releasing dirt on both candidates I would feel much differently.
Activism is an attempt to effect or advocate for the effecting of change in your polity. A political act is just an action with repercussions in your polity. (But this is why I used the word expression.)
Sure the embassy can just lock him in a room with no devices, that's easy . what's not practical is to cut the ecuadorian embassy building off all together
> They can't possibly isolate it to just Assange, so it must be the whole embassy.

Maybe not specifically to Assange, but they might be able to get close to that. An embassy probably wants to have separate, isolated networks to keep various classes of users apart. The top diplomats and officials who deal with the most important, most secret stuff on one. Another for lower level officials who deal with secret, but more routine stuff. A third that provides wifi for people visiting the embassy to use its services. Maybe a fourth for foreign diplomats attending meetings.

I could see them going beyond just building one physical network and then using firewalls to segment it into separate isolated logical networks and actually having separate physical connections for some of the networks, such as the one for visitors seeking services, and the one for foreign diplomats.

If they do have multiple physical networks, I'd expect they have Assange on one of the ones that is not important to the normal functioning of the embassy, such as one mostly used by people visiting to apply for visas and things like that. A large fraction of such visitors will have cellular internet on their phones and won't even notice that the embassy public wifi is broken.
I'd be happy to be at a company for 5-10 years and grow it, that's my preference. I don't want to be a mercenary. The problem is the companies are operating in a way that doesn't incentivize me to do os, by playing games that devalue my contribution. If that's the way they are going to go, then I should hop to diversify my portfolio.

IF you're a founder and you're working for options rather than RSUs, you got screwed.
Maybe he has been arrested, but all wikileaks know is that he has stopped sending a periodic signal that he is fine.
Except for relatively uncomplicated, or relatively low level programs I have had the opposite experience.
I use Sublime (happily staying here as well) but I use vim still for tiny editing very now and then. I'd recommend learning just moving around (I use arrow keys). A for append to end of line, I for insert in beginning, dd for delete line, i for insert mode, wq for save and exit. Maybe 5up/5down etc for faster navigation.

This is pretty much what I only use. I feel quite comfortable with vim and if I ever feel like I want to learn more, knowing how to do these super basic steps feels like a solid ground.
What if you mentioned those problems you're trying to solve here? Your target is likely reading this thread.
I was promoting something similar along with a guy named (Quinn?). About three of us here before this thread haha. Anyway, proprietary software dominates in terms of longevity and profit. FOSS has extra benefits plus lacks specific risks. Seems obvious to me a hybrid is the answer. My first was where people pay for product with source + perpetual license (copyright and patent) for that release + GPL-like rights to fix or extend it for their own purposes. Even distribute those to community of paying users. The final possibility of lock-in or freezing that comes from lack of open distribution is the last straw for open-source people. That needs effective solution.

The alternatives are two things: dual-licensing or just charging for the open-source software. These are fully open-source where they have no risks of proprietary software but risk loosing profit due to freeloaders or knockoffs. The latter option, charging for OSS stuff, threw me as I thought it wasn't allowed per some of the license but an OpenSUSE employee pointed out it's basically what they do. Some others do, too, including one person whose company does custom jobs for other firms plus GPL's anything they make. You basically make it available for people to grab but just keep charging corporations for it anyway. They don't know the difference as they're paying for specific benefits.

What's your thoughts on these OSS options?

EDIT: Wait, yeah it was Quinn with Fair Source. I've been too busy to get back to him but I see all of us having a more extended discussion on these things in future when things stabilize for me. :)
I've wondered the same. Our local coffee shop chain (looking at you, Spot Coffee), the wifi is horrible, so I go to a Starbucks - there's usually a guy there - mid 60s or 70s, always by himself, always with a laptop and a book - I've often wanted to strike a conversation with him, wonder what he's up to, if he is / was married, if he has kids, etc...

Everyone else is either a dental or medical student - given away by their scrubs or books and the coffee shop's proximity to that college - or mom waiting for their kids to get out of the nearby school or dad to meet them there. Or the first dates (by the conversation questions they ask each other). Or the business man / women finishing up paper work on their way home.

Maybe I'll ask next time I go...
A vote for any third party candidate is a bigger statement, and maximizes your voter power even in a non swing-state.
I am mostly cold emailing companies hiring for position

One very large mistake you're making is assuming that companies make any decisions. They don't. People at companies make decisions. So here are some steps to follow.

Step 1. Find "right company".

Step 2. Find "right person" @ "right company". This person should personally gain something by your product. i.e. spend less time doing something they hate, look good to their boss. Linkedin can be super helpful for this.

Step 3. Figure out how to get "right person" on the phone. This could be shmoozing the secretary(called gatekeeper in sales), or e-mailing someone higher in the organization and asking for a downward referral. "Hey CEO, we want to save you lots of money via data science. Who is the best person in your org to talk about this opportunity?"(It's always easier to get a downward referral. Your boss is usually much more willing to waste your time with a sales call then you are to waste his.)
So a much less clear cut (ugh, sorry) case than it first appeared...
How our recent hire shipped 5 new features in his first 15 days
It is actually a recent development that we differentiate the extension of rights to people vs citizen/noncitizen. And that is worrisome.
I have asked no less than 10 people why they listen to talk radio when it is clearly propaganda. The response is strangely always almost verbatim "I like to stay informed". It amazes me that they always say the same thing in response. I have found a similar thing when I mention I have no Facebook account...the response is almost always "I just like to keep in touch with people"...but they never seem to point out these are typically people that they stopped talking to years back for a reason. Has this person called you in the last 10 years? When was the last time you actually saw them in person?

Whenever I get the exact same response from multiple people I start to question the role of social media and "news" in brainwashing of the masses.
lol, Singleton as first example, is this an elaborate troll?
Race and the Haitian Constitution of 1805
Do you enjoy discussing these things with others? If not, I'd suggest stopping. Any good done is probably a drop lost in a rainstorm, and it's not worth any significant amount of harm to your personal happiness, IMO.

Now, local politics, where you can really make a difference, may be another matter. But again, if you're not enjoying it or making a fairly serious commitment to changing things for the better, you'll likely be happier just ignoring it.

Realizing that following national politics and policy is basically no more valuable to myself or to humanity than keeping up with soap operas was liberating. I'd suggest embracing that view if it's affecting your quality of life. It'll let you dip into it when it's interesting to you, without taking it too seriously or getting stressed out by it. Treat outcomes at anything above the county level like the weather, since it may as well be as far as you're personally concerned, unless you're rich or have the right combo of time+talent+will to make a real difference.
It looks like you're also assuming: 3) whoever posted to the wikileaks twitter account didn't first consider the more obvious hypotheses.

Which seems like a rather large issue with your theory.
ImageTragick did not affect major image formats; it was a vulnerability in the parser for ImageMagick's scripting languages [1]. The real problem was that support for scripting was enabled by default, and there was no obvious big red button to disable it.

[1] Like MVG (http://www.imagemagick.org/script/magick-vector-graphics.php) and MSL (http://www.imagemagick.org/script/conjure.php)
There was another poster this summer who claimed to be an FBI insider. He spilled a lot of info about their corrupt investigation into the Clinton emails. He made a lot of predictions that ended up being true. So I wouldn't rule it out as a possibility; 4chan is a known safe place for anonymity online.
In this case start with the employee who sees the issue daily. If it's a real pain and your solution is good it will move up the chain of command
How many countries have we bombed and/or invaded since 2008?
What? He claims he had his internet cut off. You say the proof is that he hasn't sent out a message to the contrary. Ummm....

Do you understand what I'm saying when I say I don't believe Assange when he says his internet is cut off?

Also, as has been mentioned elsewhere, the Ecuadorian embassy has a policy against making any sort of statements about Assange.
Or may have believed it but chose to stand by their family member in a time of need.
No, parent comment said they went down because they ruined people's lives AND broke the law.

Trying to argue whether or not someone's life was actually ruined is irrelevant. That's not for you to decide. It clearly damaged someone enough for them to dump millions of dollars into a totally legal retaliation effort.

Gawker had no right to do what they did, as determined by a court. This is the crucial point. They tried to screw someone by financially strong arming them out of justice, so Thiel did that to them instead.

It's absolutely tone deaf to say that outing someone as gay or posting a sex tape couldn't have devastating effects.
Me too. But now I'm stuck on 1.7. All the tricks they taught me aren't working so far. Maybe we are supposed to go off-site and learn how to decrypt AES-128 ECB elsewhere and come back? Perhaps the hint is that they told us how it is encrypted - so, maybe that's the only hint.
Article after article of Apple wankery, thanks but no thanks...
While it may perhaps be true, you shouldn't put it in quotes if he didn't say it.
I'd probably add "go niche on your topic" as well. While it may put off some selection folks because it's too narrow, it can also work in your favor. I've been selected for conferences precisely because of somewhat niche topics. Now... whether anyone shows up for your talk or not... different story, but if they do, it's a signal that people may want more of that, and it feeds back to organizers.
It's likely that the paper communicated the effect of the correlation and the reporter butchered the explanation.

Can't get the paper though, so who knows.
I use Arch Linux and I haven't faced any of the problems you mention. I don't game so this might be slightly skewed, but there's not a single thing on Windows that would tempt me into using it.

Also the sudo point I completely disagree with. It comes down to security or convenience, and it's a damned shame that people pick convenience.
Not considering it, or considering it but not believing it. Edit: or considering it, believing it, and deliberately lying.

I see no reason to trust their judgment here. As the kids might say these days, evidence or GTFO.
Ok. Here is an article that claims something in the headline and then repeats it many times through out the text. In all that clutter and fear mongering; claims of how much worse things are in the american society, the proof is the new "research"- if parents education level correlates well with the child's! Wow.. never thought that could be true.. The only "new" thing seems to be that the correlation coefficient is slightly higher. 0.1 higher.. What does that mean? I am not sure. They define educational mobility as a proxy for social mobility. By that definition any non negative correlation of education achievement between generations implies increasing social inequality. They bring up this statistic of "20% of middle fifth will rise to the top fifth" I am not sure whether that is bad. Naively I would expect exactly that to happen in an unbiased system without inequality. I guess I am saying, color me confused.
Public Speaking and Presenting: Today’s Worst Habit and How to Fix It
A point not to be underestimated. It's a good place to take up ad-hoc stuff, or try something that you yourself are pretty new at.

Not that I am ever likely to speak at a conference.
It probably was a kinda-state actor. Openreach :-)
LOL! Actually that would be AMAZING if true (almost as funny as Assange being on Wifi in the first place).
The production issues and scaling make sense. But ignoring that, what would be the advantage of a phone made out of ceramics? The OP makes mention of luster and durability...is it lighterweight, too? Less prone to denting? I'm reminded of the way ceramic knives are often sharper than steel, but much more prone to shattering.

Edit: re-reading the post, I see that the site has chosen to indicate hyperlinks by coloring them #000 instead of the body text color of #666, so I missed the initial link to Quora, which contains a list of advantages: https://www.quora.com/What-will-the-iPhone-8-be-made-of

However, it does acknowledge the brittleness factor. Seeing how phones are prone to being dropped, I'd take a scuff/dent in aluminum over the possibility of a massive crack in my phone's body.
Isn't that the point? Risk=0 and all.
Our current crop of "leaders" are content to play a game of chicken, pushing the limit further and further to see how much we will stand. Trump is nuts enough to knock the whole house of cards over.

I have sympathy with where Doug is coming from, let's just get it over and done with already.
Okay you see apples I see oranges. I find packaging for Arch's port system to be pretty fundamentally different then for the binaries of RPM or Deb but its okay.

I still stand by the need to provide RPM, Deb and Source for your project to be called Linux supported. Also Ubunutu does not equal Linux.

Here is VS Code as an example https://code.visualstudio.com/?utm_expid=101350005-28.R1T8Fs...
Right, but if Russia is cutting it off that will be a snip the cable type job, killing internet for the whole embassy (or even building). Something you'd expect to be noticed pretty widely. And it would be fixable by phoning BT.

As for signal jamming. Not an area I know a lot about, but I assume it is achieved by flooding an area with noise. Pretty detectable is what I'm saying - anyone nipped down to see if that's actually happening? Would be quite a scoop.
Pretty interesting comparing the reactions to this and Snowden.
I don't feel comfortable telling anyone who to vote for - a personal decision that is no one else's business. I will say that for myself, when I was filling out my early mail-in ballot yesterday, it was an easy decision voting for Jill Stein. Our political system is corrupt and when lots of people (in the many millions) vote for 3rd party candidates, that at least makes it harder for the establishment to maintain the misdirection that our two party system gives voters any real choice.

EDIT: you may have noticed the establishment propaganda instruments like MSNBC and Fox News have a real campaign to discredit all 3rd party candidates in all elections. Chuck Todd did a particularly shameless review of many 3rd party candidates, mocking them, and mocking people who would vote for any 3rd party candidates. What an asshole, and what un-American behavior. Everyone's opinion should be respected.
Liddell and Scott translates as wine-coloured or wine-dark, when used as an epithet of the sea, or wine-red or deep red, when used to describe oxen.

Sorry, can you diagram the sentence or something? Not only do I not understand what you're hinting at, but I can't think of a more clear way to phrase it. If you're not able to explain what you mean, can you at least think of an alternative wording that would be unambiguous?

Edit: Also, why would legalese be necessary here? What court is the US government worried about?
The fact is we haven't figured out how to stop E. Coli. Some amount of cross-contamination is going to happen. (Especially when you have animal products mixing with vegetables.) Yes, there was a real contamination event at Chipotle. What I'm asking is if we have scientific evidence that Chipotle was negligent in any way, and from everything I've read the answer is no, there is no process Chipotle could have followed to avoid this problem. Some have suggested that their use of organic and non-GMO ingredients contributed to the issue, but that's a scientific claim and I'd love to see some evidence.

If you have data that suggest otherwise, I'd love to see it.
Over 100 million of us watched The Day After when it aired, a TV movie about nuclear war. So not only was it top of mind, the range of media alternatives was so much smaller.

Your description of the situation is of course opinion, as there has been no proof of allegations that Wikileaks is acting on behalf of anyone other than their own interests.
Don't Hamm operators have a low speed data protocol?

Also, I bet some industrious hackers could hack together a microcontroller, photodiodes, and cheap lasers for a line of sight connection as a bridge.
Interesting to compare Apple to Telsa, who is having to scale production like crazy and is designing/manufacturing some their manufacturing machines themselves
Yeah, but not secretly while in the middle of central london
His internet is cut off or it isn't. Claiming it is when it is not so will undermine his credibility for no gain at all.

Note that Wikileaks is making the claim not Assange and they are not the same entity (they'd have to, given that Assange can't go online).

Now, it could all be not true but what would be the point of lying about this when the truth will come out regardless?
