I wonder if there is social pressure exerted by everyone to assume that someone who has made it through the vetting process is low risk...

Imagine a group of clergy members, how likely is it that they'd want part of their group dynamic to be defending themselves against suspicion of atheism or doubt?

It would seem that the identity aspect of feeling like one was on the defensive might create a psychological blind spot where everyone was pleased/relieved not to have to constantly prove his/her loyalty, thus establishing an implicit trustworthiness rather than an explicit one that would be psychologically challenging. Imagine showing up at work every day and someone reviewing your code with the suspicion that you might have intended to harm the business... regardless of one's level of competence this would be unpleasant, and humans avoid unpleasant things.

I don't have security clearance of any expertise with it, just musing about it.

Theoretically though it would depend on the size of the swarm and how many peers you had. Tor doesn't support webrtc either.

You apply for a social security card at birth. You're not compelled to. (See: https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10023.pdf )

Most people do, because you cannot claim a dependent for tax purposes without an SSN. But we're a nation of >300M people. There are many exceptions.

Do you have an email address that may be similar to others?

My work recently implemented a login process for customers and it was surprising how many user errors we had related to names/emails that were similar (so bob@gmail.com vs nob@gmail.com etc - these were not the actual addresses but you get the idea).
One of the other problems is the Feds gave up on Subways after WWII in preference to building freeways. I can't vouch for this but I've read one to two places that the Feds generally won't fund a transportation project unless it makes it faster to get from point A to point B.
This is a good way to control what methods are allowed on the ViewSet, but still doesn't address the problem of fields being writable by default when the ViewSet allows writing.
This makes you more of a thief than the scammers, not only taking more money but also abusing the trust of your own father. Shame on you.
Seems to be fixed by this commit (in 4.8.3).

mm: remove gup_flags FOLL_WRITE games from __get_user_pages()

commit 19be0eaffa3ac7d8eb6784ad9bdbc7d67ed8e619 upstream.

This is an ancient bug that was actually attempted to be fixed once
(badly) by me eleven years ago in commit 4ceb5db9757a ("Fix
get_user_pages() race for write access") but that was then undone due to
problems on s390 by commit f33ea7f404e5 ("fix get_user_pages bug").

In the meantime, the s390 situation has long been fixed, and we can now
fix it by checking the pte_dirty() bit properly (and do it better). The
s390 dirty bit was implemented in abf09bed3cce ("s390/mm: implement
software dirty bits") which made it into v3.9. Earlier kernels will
have to look at the page state itself.

Also, the VM has become more scalable, and what used a purely
theoretical race back then has become easier to trigger.

To fix it, we introduce a new internal FOLL_COW flag to mark the "yes,
we already did a COW" rather than play racy games with FOLL_WRITE that
is very fundamental, and then use the pte dirty flag to validate that
the FOLL_COW flag is still valid.
The purpose of such agencies is to leech on the tax payer. Most important part is to create problems, "solve" them in the most expensive and ineffective way and spread fear.
The meet solution doesn't always work. My father has met a woman whom his scammer claims to be twice. I'm quite sure it's a man behind the emails and this woman has been coerced into meeting him.

That's a pity. One of the things I loved about the pre-2000's Outside Magazine was the quality of the long-form writing. After it was clearly turning into a yuppified Sports Illustrated, I kept my subscription only for David Quammen's excellent field biology articles. Then he left. And I cancelled the subscription.
That was a good talk. I highly recommend watching the entire video.
Got it. Thanks for the detailed response (here and elsewhere in the thread).
Calling Nintendo to transfer your account in the event an old system becomes inaccessible is inconvenient, but not insurmountably so. It's good enough for me to consider games not tied to the console.
I planned on watching that series but after hearing this it makes me not want to. I have enough cynicism in my life.

In the light of latest stories of Thiel and Trump, does anyone else feel disgusted how Brendan Eich was treated?

It looks like Thiel is a special boy and since everyone knows him in tech world, diverse opinions are ok, as long as you have connections.

I'm not blaming Thiel here, but it's funny to see the hypocrisy.

If a user sets their default font size to 26px, then a max-width of 600px may be too small... if a user sets their font size to 10px then 600px may be too wide. A value of 35em would scale the container based on the user's selected font size.

Containers should be relative to their content.

Once I had my SIM card stuck in my phone. So when I wanted to use a different phone, I bought a new SIM card kit online and brought it to a T-mobile store. I told the clerk my SIM card is stuck in this phone so I want to transfer my number to the new SIM card. He asked for my phone number then scanned the new SIM card and transferred the number. I didn't have to provide any identity or proof that I actually own the number. It's scary how easy stealing someone's phone number can be.
You are mistaken.

That's funny, but it's not quite accurate. There's a difference between a) saying that certain viewpoints don't belong here, and b) saying that comments which say that certain viewpoints don't belong here don't belong here.

It's like there are three positions:

1. Certain viewpoints or comments should not be allowed.
2. Everything should be allowed except comments which say that certain things shouldn't be allowed (i.e. tolerant of everything except intolerance).
3. Everything should be allowed.

#1 is intolerant, #2 is an attempt at enforced tolerance (which is necessarily intolerant in itself), and #3 is actual tolerance.

It seems to me that the real problem is that meta discussions are frowned upon on HN, but there is no designated place to have them instead. So whenever someone starts one, they face the risk of censure-by-downvote.
Maybe, but there are plenty of people with cameras like the RX100.
The break out should be that, in terms of metrics of the physical world, SF is a horrible city to establish a business in. There are plenty of bubbles going around, but the "Bay Area or Bust" in tech is certainly one of them. The cost of living is so preposterously high, and the infrastructure so bad, in a rational world businesses would be throwing money at moving thousands of people out of the area to much cheaper cities instead of sucking up the ludicrous costs.

Sharpening effect is very prominent on these examples. Hopefully there is an configuration option for this.
You said it: If you are not explicitly on the business of providing external access to your machine, the privesc isn't your problem (it's a problem, and it's bad, though), it's the fact that anybody could exploit the privesc in the first place.
Tires are likely to be damaged and are crucial (and can be vandalized) and cars run okay. The camera going out probably won't be much worse than all the times my tires went flat or that time when my tire blew out while I was going 75 down the highway.
Wow, just read an article on ADHD in France, and I think that their system is incredible. It really aligned with what I've thought all along: depression, ADHD, and a few other "neurological disorders" are symptoms of a person not operating in an optimal environment (for themselves specifically).

Take ADHD for example: A child won't sit still in class, is constantly distracted, and performs poorly at school work. Let's use occam's razor to figure out what's going on here. Was this child born with a rare neurological disorder causing an imbalance in monoamine neurotransmitters? Possibly... Or maybe was the real cause is this: a lack of exercise, a poor diet that includes lots of sugars and unnecessary carbohydrates, lack of socialization outside of the school context. The list goes on and on. I really believe that if you do your due diligence in ensuring your diet, health, social life, and other important factors are all in a good state, these conditions magically disappear. Sure, the kid might have low levels of dopamine because of their suboptimal lifestyle. But there are ways to fix the problem without shoving NDRIs/amphetamines down their throat: change their routine, their diet, their life.

I'm not saying that ADHD doesn't exist, I'm just saying the true percentage of ADHD cases is probably a much lower (see France) than what's purported in the US.

But in the end, it's easier to pop a pill than change you or your child's lifestyle. Plus the pharmaceutical companies make a buck, and tell you what you need to hear to believe that stimulants are the only option for treatment. Sometimes they might be a good option to jumpstart the process of digging yourself out of depression (SSRIs in this case) but I don't think that the chronic administration of drugs is healthy and optimal in the long run. There are better solutions out there.

(P.S. Obviously I'm not stating any of this as fact. It's just what makes sense to me after dealing with, and evaluating my own anxiety and depression.)
> As crazy as it sounds, I would rather work for free than work for a low rate.

That's not crazy at all. Most of us help other people in many ways, and that's ok. I'll be glad to spend 6 hours to help a friend move house, but I'd certainly not do it for $20. Similarly, I develop FLOSS for fun, but would not do it for $10/hour.

Yes, Ektar used to be their lens brand.

TL;DR: Spearphishing. Discovered because the attackers used public bit.ly URLs.
I actually heard it was 100x worse than reported. Totally not from anyone at homeland security tho
> The trick is simple yet powerful - obviously the letters are made to funnel gullible people, but also greedy people with low morals. This would help the scammer justify it to himself.

I guess it also helps the client justify things to himself. There is money in people who feel guilty.

Philosophical nitpick, it's fundamentally impossible to disprove non-existence of an entity.
In my father's case (which sounds similar to micheal_h's), the problem is that the more you give away the more difficult it become to admit it's a scam since you have to admit both that the love you're looking for doesn't exist as well as the fact that you've been a complete idiot. It's a vicious cycle.
I see where you're getting at, but with only a handful of browsers* maintained by large organisations eager to protect their reputations vs a plathora of extensions out there, your argument doesn't hold so well.

* I'm assuming usage of Chrome/IE/Firefox/Safari here.
So...

Your basic objection is you don't like how people choose to spend their time and money? And you somehow know better than them how it should be spent?
It's hard to give a concise response to a comment going in so many different directions at once, but I'll take a whack at it:

* Should NSA be broken up? I think so. It's a mainstream policy idea. NSA has two conflicting missions --- IAD and SIGINT --- three, if you want to count pure research separately. Splitting up NSA would solve some conflict of interest problems, but would also add the practical benefit of minimizing the number of people who might end up with access to documents like this guy collected.

* Does that mean NSA is lying about the Martin case? No. They could be, but I would not put money on that. Prosecutors definitely shade facts to make their cases sound stronger. But it's less likely that in an extremely high profile federal prosecution like this one, they're going to entirely make things up. With Martin, we're talking about a case where someone hoarded extremely classified documents about ongoing operations against "known enemies of the US" (that's a term that probably has pretty specific meaning). He left them laying in his car. On the back of the printouts were handwritten explanations of tradecraft and terms of art.

If I had to guess, the most likely outcome here is going to be that we are talking about someone with very serious mental health issues who NSA had no business putting within 1000 miles of the information he managed to hoard in his house.
It's deliberately obtuse because how you are going to make mass-sent phishing mail sound like some Russian cyberweapon if the mope turns out to have entered his own password?

The actual Google myaccount.google.com/.. site that the phishing URL is modeled after asks for a new password.
Good point, edited to clarify.

A lot of his highlights are... ridiculous. Normal humans cannot embarass NBA level athletes like that.

Just like Fifa glorifies insane athletic moves.
yes, that will break.
It is not a matter of feasibility. Infrastructure transit produces tremendous returns in productivity. Even insanely overbudget projects like the Big Dig in Boston are already breaking even after only a decade, because of how much room for growth they produce.

This is why having fast rail, uncongested highways, and always expanding to meet demand are always worth the cost. Unless you can accurately forecast a downturn in regional economic growth irrespective of whether or not you meet transit demands, it is never rational from the perspective of long term city planning for maximum economic throughput to not grow the system and increase density.
Man, MADV_DONTNEED again? I mean, Linux's implementation is already weird (it behaves in a way counter to most other implementations of the call: you can see Bryan Cantrill's talk for the details).

What is with that call?

>I don't think the javascript runtime for plugins should expose anything to the js running on the page, but that's a lot more complicated, since the plugin runtime is almost always really interested in spidering the page DOM and altering it by responding to the state of that DOM.

Firefox/Chrome/Safari extensions already run in an "isolated world" so that they have separate sets of global variables and DOM-wrappers, so that javascript values never leak directly and modifications to globals don't affect other worlds. However, they all see and manipulate the same content in the DOM. I'm unsure if you're proposing anything different from the current situation.
It will be buggy and poorly supported and probably have sub-par QA. Also your friends will laugh at you for buying a Kodak anything.
I wear a mechanical watch because it looks nice and doesn't need firmware updates or charging. I need another device to plug in like another hole in my head. But it is nice to know what time it is without pulling out your phone and drawing a lot of attention.

Perhaps, but I like to think that we made the right decision by saving enough of his own money that he could live out his last years in the comfortable surroundings of home while receiving the one-on-one care he needed to remain (relatively) comfortable. We spent his money on him rather than strangers.

I'm comfortable with the decision and feel that we as a family made the right decision for him and it's hard to say it was "stealing" when the money was ultimately used for his own needs. It was a gamble, he could have passed away right after we protected his funds, then the money wouldn't have been spent on him, but that didn't happen.
IMHO, there's no more self-destructive tendencies than those that oppose cities being cities.

More people want to live in cities than there is space in the cities. Given that high-density living is more environmentally friendly than low-density sprawl, it's particularly bad for those in cities to not allow more people to live there.

But there's two things that everybody hates in city planning: sprawl and density.
Ironically you could create google voice numbers as a workaround
This is why cinema lenses report t-stops ('transmission') in addition to f-stops. The t-stops tell you about exposure, and account for losses between surfaces and absorption within the media. The f-stop tells you about depth of field, etc.

With modern lenses, they're usually within a small fraction of a stop, but older lenses could vary by a stop or more. That said, the difference between this camera and an iPhone camera, in terms of relative transmission, is probably negligible.
Also, to illustrate how hard it is to sway their minds, my brother impersonated a lonely person on Christian mingle and got the scammer to start working on him. He showed my father their correspondence and my father was somehow able to explain it away.

This comes up a lot. Here's the thing - if you own a SFH in San Francisco, and suddenly you had the right to tear it down and a build a 3 unit apartment building, would that increase or decrease the value of your property?

I'm not sure, but I lean toward increase, because you do own the land beneath your house. If you were the only one who did this, then I'd say yes, almost certainly. However, if everyone did this, supply would increase, so the question is, would that result in a decrease in prices, offsetting the value of converting a single family residence into three units?

Personally, I doubt it. In my neighborhood in SF, nice 3br flats sell for about 85% of the cost of a 3br house. There's a lot of slack here to make up for the reduction in prices that could result from more units, and honestly, I'm not eve sure that increasing density in SF would lower prices in the first place.

I know that last one may seem counter-intuitive, but keep in mind, Manhattan generally has housing costs than SF, so greater density certainly doesn't necessarily mean lower housing costs. A lot of people have pointed out that SF's high housing prices may be impeding further economic growth in the region. It's entirely possible that greater density would attract even more high paying workers to the region, with even greater economies of scale, higher levels of economic activity, and so forth. It's not out of the question that greater density could result in higher, not lower, housing costs.

I'm not convinced that SF nimby-ism is driven by a desire to maximize the dollar value of real estate assets. I'm also not really convinced that it's unique to San Francisco. My guess is that most medium-density neighborhoods that have been in a steady-state for 75+ years are resistant to change, regardless of whether they're located in SF or elsewhere.
My mum had something similar happen with Verizon albeit as an act of fraud against her account. Her phone was working one day then mysteriously stopped working the next. She didn't think much of it, but as a matter of happenstance had picked up her bill a couple of days later to find that someone had managed to attach a new phone to her account (under a new contract no less!). According to the fraud rep, the switch took place in a Target nearby and was likely done without any identification other than the phone number. Eerily similar.
>In the world of working people, it doesn't.

I'm sure you're right, but one of the details here was that they found printed out emails in his car with handwritten notes on the back of them. They're apparently especially skeeved out by the fact that the notes include descriptions of basic tradecraft stuff --- stuff, I guess, he clearly already knew himself --- as if he was preparing them for a third party recipient.
