It's a funny story but also shows how pathetic (IMO) some companies and organizations become. They just don't realize the cat is already out the bag. "Damage control" should not be used for censorship. This is clearly fair use (satire).

And in general about YouTube and similar companies: This is what happens when the court principle of innocent until proven guilty is inverted to be guilty until proven innocent.

There is a reason why freedom of speech is the first amendment in the US constitution, and Google (and other companies) should adhere and respect the intentions behind it.
You're not harsh at all- i'd appreciate feedback, what parts do you think we should improve?

I'll admit we kind of rushed the sign up page as we've been busy building the product.
You may want to look at why you desire to be elevated above others.

To me, thinking about others is not criticism. Criticism requires communication with the other party whom is the object of your thought.

Criticism was opposed to compliments in the lists, as if not agreeing (and actively making it known) with someone was a "negative" thing to be avoided (with the seeming implication that compliments should be given, regardless).
I disagree to some extent. Men who are successful at being jerks are successful because they're confident. A man can be confident and not a jerk, and the reaction will for some women also be effective, but the reaction will definitely be different. It depends on what the woman is looking for. If she's looking for excitement and something casual, I think the evidence shows that being a jerk is a lot more effective. If she wants a husband, being nice is a lot more effective. But for the most part, you're not going to have much success at cold-openings with women by trying to appeal to their desire to find a husband.

Being "a jerk" to a woman signals that you don't especially value her. It puts her in a frame of mind that you yourself must be valuable to not value her or fawn over her like lots of men do. It makes her chase you instead of you chasing her (which is boring because women get that all the time).

Confidence is what makes it work, but I don't think it's the confidence alone.
They aren't down -- but DNS they use seems to be down at the moment.

for me github, twitter, seamless and many other down. looks like it's dyndns related, as it doesn't respond.

Google's public DNS isn't responding to them, but opendns (208.67.222.222) helps here.
Well, I'm specifically referring to VoLTE. The towers have more powerful transmitters than the handsets, so a user might hear voice just fine, but the person on the other end can hear breaking up voice which is precisely what happened to me in Manhattan on Verizon prior to the 10.03 update with the 1.00.05 modem firmware upgrade. I was being switched to a tower that had only -124 dBm.

The Enhanced Voice Services spec also mentions working at lower signal strength.
The UI on the left side could use some work. I followed your link, search for Ars Technica and then spent about a minute trying to figure out why it was showing me electronics. Everything feels just a bit too large and control information should probably all be above the page (at least a summary.)
Yes. It use to be that sites would let you through the pay wall if you get there via the direct google link. Now that's still the case but with an added caveat that you don't have a cookie from their site too. Incognito ensures you don't have the sites "previous visitor" cookie.
Comodo should be put out of business. They stole $100 from me for a certificate then gave me the run around for months while I tried to get a refund for a certificate I never received. Still haven't gotten my money back.
Yes. Every single unwanted email I get I take the time to unsubscribe. I get far less email now and it makes for a much cleaner inbox.
Usually, when one is reading a text, especially one written for persuasion, the first question to ask is, "what is the author trying to say?" Reasonable people can disagree about what that is, so to suggest that we're not doing society favors by applying critical reasoning is wrong at best, disingenuous at worst.

You wouldn't accuse someone of reading The Raven as not being literally about a bird as failing civilization.
> great salespeople have 'advanced interpersonal skills'.

but what about an average sales person. He might just have 'normal interpersonal skills', by 'sales pro', I meant an average sales person though. For average salesperson, their difference from normal developer's interpersonal skills might not be that much.
The vast majority of them are written by one guy, the shows creator, Charlie Brooker[1].

Just imagine the harm seeing a breast can do to a vulnerable young child. /s

Facebook needs to literally grow up, removing porn is one thing but clinical images, mothers feeding their children and such should not even be up for discussion.

It's a fine line between protecting your users from seeing offensive content and outright censorship, good to see them doing the right thing in this case, pity it is still on a 'case-by-case' basis instead of a healthy review of their policies.

The main criterion seems to be 'is the internet raising a large enough stink'? If yes then restore the image.

Compile time types are nice to have, if they stay out of my way (type inference, the ability to easily opt out for certain "tricky" code...)

Types keep things (except for database column names or JSON import...) from blowing up the very first time you try to run it, rather than stopping the compile. That's useful, as far as it goes. (as long as it saves me more time not fixing a typo and rerunning than it does generating stupid cluttered code)

We have bigger problems (not that JS really addresses them, either).

Mutable data, cyclic update graphs and temporal coupling. (at least JS makes it easier to do FP type programming and to freeze objects to force immutability if you need to). This is a paradigm change we probably won't see until after most of us raised in the C/Algol era are dead, sadly.

Pet peeve: infix operators, and precedence rules. I have seen this bite badly in subtle ways, but it's a sacred cow of computing that you MUST have algebraic expressions. Lisp had it right - parens first, now you are trained.

Now that we have effective garbage collection, can we please STOP writing (thinking) in Algol/Simula 67 dressed up with curly braces??? (which really isn't that much higher level than COBOL/CICS, especially when you look at most Java dreck)
Just how big is IPv6? – or Where did all those addresses go? (2005)
Twitter/GitHub/Soundcloud/etc all just went down for me (UK), also The Verge and The Next Web.
Yup, agreed. I think overtime we'll also try to compensate for this by build a ML model from all the emails being sent to provide more 'fuzziness' to it.

Verizon is adding 4x4 MIMO and I expect all of the US providers will be doing so because spectrum is a scarce and very expensive resource and at least in the case of Verizon, use is increasing substantially.

While the 4x4 MIMO requires the 4 antennas, the 256 QAM can be provided by a firmware upgrade without the 4 antennas.

It's a plausible suggestion that all services that provide basic critical infrastructure for the Internet (e.g. DNS, Certificate Authorities, ISPs and network providers) should have a very high level of security testing given their attractiveness to attackers.

the only problem is... who's going to pay for it? the CA model and the DNS model tend to be a very low-cost one which means there's unlikely to be the kind of money available to pay for expensive red-teaming on a regular basis, let alone running infrastructure that would resist their attacks..
Your difference is known as off-balance sheet intangible assets. This represents Microsoft's employee capital, and how the group of individuals are able to produce future revenue generation.

I'm assuming this was said because people tend to be afraid of growth (eg Uber eating taxis).

But there's something to be said for being scared of companies that have already grown and are stable too. Or at least wary.
I thought hiring is broken and basically all are bad at it.
Nobody knows who better to hire than the founder of a super early stage startup (< 5 people). The founder knows exactly what issues need to be tackled, has the most information about the product/service being sold, and knows what kinds of people they mesh well with. Bringing in a recruiter at this stage is not only wasting vast amounts of precious startup capital but could also thoroughly damage or kill the startup because wasted time, effort, and improper direction.

It does with certain personality types. Read about attachment styles. I would suggest not going after those people unless they can compensate for it.

Anyway, one might overestimate the amount of jerks in this world out of jealousy of those who are more confident.

There's a lot more than traditional industrial automation going on though. Yes, a lot of today's IoT is "stuff we've been doing for a while" under a new name. But there's also a level of instrumentation, real-time control, and analytics that goes significantly beyond "tell me if this process is drifting."
Portal is one of the interfaces for Azure resources management. I'd highly suggest you to take a look at PowerShell CLI and Azure Node.js CLI.

> Paddy Power says Clinton has an 85.7% — odds of 2/11 — chance of winning the election, a figure that it believes amounts to a "done deal."

I agree that Trump winning would be a long shot. But what's the benefit of paying out early? 85.7% isn't the same as 99.9999%, so why don't they just wait?
Just to be clear, this is a DDoS against Dynect's NS hosts, right?

I'm confused because of the use of "dyn dns", which to me means dns for hosts that don't have static ip addresses.

I'm actually surprised so many big-name sites rely on Dynect, which I hadn't heard of, but more importantly don't seem to use someone else's NS hosts as 2nd or 4th entries.

Black Mirror is really, really, really good. The writing, the cast, it is just incredible.

But it is also incredibly depressing. Maybe depressing is the wrong word. Emotionally exhausting, you might say. Well worth watching once, but I recently could not bring myself to re-watch it because it so dark. And not even dark humor, which I like, just dark. Maybe in the spring, I'll come around...
Most likely Samsung used the Youtube's "Content ID" system. DMCA is not necessary in that case.

Then you have leaked material over http or some other cleartext protocol. If you try to add encryption to that you just have turtles or move the key exchange somewhere else.

The current PKI system allows you to make an unsolicited encrypted connections to an internet origin over an untrusted connection with strong server authentication.

Self signed can not provide this. We do not want the web to be like SSH.
So if WHOIS has the correct (matching) business name, you trust that, presumably?

LG treats both the V10 and V20 the same way. They're absolutely retarded to do so by treating the international market that way. I live in Uruguay, a third world south-american country and people sure love their phablets, with Galaxy Notes everywhere. Yet the V10 didn't see the light of day here and there are no news about the V20.
Thank you for realizing my gist. I believe the possibility of 1 civ/universe to be so odd that I cannot believe it's true. Problem is, once you accept that, now you're in uncharted territory. Are these hypothetical ET's far away? Are they pre-sentient? Or are they already here somehow (alcubierre drive?) and all those people claiming UFO sightings and/or encounters are in fact, in large part, correct? :O
> Spending any effort whatsoever organizing files on your computer is equally worthless.

Absolutely. I've been practising this for more than 20 years. When the NT 4.0 Option Pack came out in 1998 I was delighted because it gave me a search engine on my desktop and I could stop feeling guilty about my lack of organisation. I don't have trouble finding things.
I've been having the same problem accessing github in particular. Just for fun, I opened the Opera browser and activated the built-in VPN. That got everything going again. At least for browsing, not so useful for my git pulls and pushes.
The first time I saw this I was floored. After seeing it a few times, I was curious: "what establishes this pattern?", "how do people arrive at thinking of the trash folder as an archive?"

In most cases they are using the delete key something like a surrogate for the read/unread flag. Keeping the inbox 'clean' of old email. I tried testing with view filters set to only show unread email, but that didn't work because the read flag is toggled too easily. Effectively they want a button that says "I'm done with you go away" to an email in their inbox.

Over a long period of time that is what the market has returned. It is not guaranteed.One year it might be down 50% one year it might be 50%, but if you look at 30years S&P has returned about 7.5%. 10% is a just a round number makes math easier. You can plug in a different number my point its hard to get to 450 billion.

There has been no evidence yet that the emails were doctored. What there has been, as one journalist put it, was efforts to conflate "wikileaks emails" with "unsourced shit I saw on Twitter".
This is terrifying. Thankfully I don't think much actual voting infra is network reliant. But it could probably delay the results from being finalized for days, and allow Trump to spew further allegations of rigging.

Though if they targeted electric grid, water, and public transport, starting early in the day and choosing the regions by their populations political leaning, it could easily have an effect on the result itself.
The company is just called "Dyn", DynECT is a product name, but yes.

Exactly. Even assuming (3) is true you've just pushed the problem down to your spec.
If you're willing to go for "current control of the domain" instead of "owner" (and in practice we are, because a ton of CAs including Let's Encrypt allow that), there's hitting /.well-known/ via HTTP, as 'nailer points out, and there's also emailing admin@, administrator@, webmaster@, hostmaster@, or postmaster@ the domain, as explicitly permitted by the CA/Browser Forum baseline requirements (3.2.2.4 #4).
No. Whois isn't used for identifying legal entities (EV). Just for proving control over a domain (baseline requirements).

TOFU is bad for the web. Its is much easier to MiTM https vs ssh. Many vendors will sell your enterprise kit to do it to all users.

There will be some jurisdictions where MiTM is always and unavoidable. TOFU can't work here.

Honestly, Rails wasn't the first or last RAD platform and I don't think a randomly-selected subset of programmers who have used it would describe it as a shining beacon of light.

JS frameworks are actually pretty diverse, and if you think the ecosystem is a bunch of MV* variants just waiting for something innovative to come along, with respect, you just aren't familiar with what's out there.
Some ppl simply are rock stars. They are better than everyone else at the whole open-source lifecycle. They know how to do the marketing, manage scope, ship features, manage issues, etc.

To make a successful open-source project is not easy and is about balancing a range of factors, including balancing their work/life. Not everyone can do this, or wants to do this. I think rock stars earn their status.
Thanks for that link. That looks pretty interesting. Is that the same Steve Jackson that does the Munchkin / Illuminati card games?
No, that's not the issue at all. CAs like Comodo are paid very handsomely for what is essentially a zero marginal cost item. It is not the problem of WHOIS that they want to skate their responsibilities and think some rent-a-coder OCR bullshit is an adequate solution.

There's an ambiguity in the comment, but reading the comment charitably can dispel the notion that the person claimed any form of criticism is a form of maliciously bringing people down.
