You should read Crawford, then. Read Sidney Dekker's "Drift into Failure" as well. Complexity is the problem. Complex, evolving, interacting conditions. You can't just measure in a vacuum when you have many interacting variables.

What you're talking about is the result of the reductionist intellectual tradition. And it's been fantastic at many things - it built our modern world. But it cannot solve every problem. Not everything humans do can be reduced to simple measurement and process.
> Angular is running within a higher-privileged extension.

Ok, thanks for the explanation. I've developed chrome extensions before but firefox very long time back, so my knowledge is rusty, but please tell me 2 things:

1. Say hypothetically if AngularJs can do it, doesn't that mean any Javascript can do it too? I mean Javasript contained within the extension code?

2. In chrome extensions we use "ng-csp", otherwise it won't run. Is this addressing the same thing in chrome and if so, why can't it do it in firefox?
Let's separate this into a few different things.

1. If a company (or an individual) provide information to law enforcement on request, without a warrant, is that disclosure itself breaking the law? (Ignoring company policy and privacy statements here.)

2. If so, will the company be prosecuted for doing so?

3. Will the information be usable in court?

When you say "recent case law is closing the door on a company's ability to do such a thing", it sounds like you're talking about #3 (but feel free to clarify if I'm wrong). But #1 is still a concern, because it can show the police where to try to do parallel construction.
"The intelligence community declined to explain how they reached their conclusion, and it’s fair to assume they have data no one else can see."

My personal favorite part of the article, couple paragraphs after that quote:

"We are approaching the point in this case where there are only two reasons for why people say there’s no good evidence,” Rid told me. “The first reason is because they don’t understand the evidence—because the don’t have the necessary technical knowledge. The second reason is they don’t want to understand the evidence.”
Why should I express empathy to the guy who ("probably") illegally stole his elderly father's money?
If you can't get it done legally (by getting the person declared mentally unfit) then it's nothing more than theft. Deciding on your own that a person, your father none the less, shouldn't be allowed to control their own money, is indefensible. If you think this is so, there's well-defined legal procedures to do this. If for some reason those won't work for you, then it's gonna be hard to justify to me that you're doing the right thing.
I was pretty interested in this, but $550 seems to steep. What is that price point supposed to compete with? To low for iphone/pixel, too high for many other android phones.
Not if we can't get past the he-said-she-said politics. People are voting for personalities over issues more than ever, and I don't see that trend reversing.

I think you just described one way of updating things on a web page. The paradigm which React uses is popular in this moment, but there are many other ways to update things on a web page. It does not actually do anything that couldn't be done before, or with other frameworks or libraries.
Banning air conditioners in the South would be great for energy efficiency. It's just comfort, not survival.

Forcing people out of cars (or previously available train seats) onto standing room only trains because "you still get from A to B" would be roughly the same.

Everything is "more efficient" if people simply accept worse outcomes. That's not an accomplishment. Contrast with actual improvements over status quo like more effiently packed passenger cars, self driving cars, rail service with enough seats, etc.

Upward change is good. Lateral change is fine. Reaching into people's lives and making them worse because "you didn't really need that, and my values are more important than yours" is disturbingly fashionable in these threads.
A program to test your kernel for the vulnerability will be available Wednesday next week. But your kernel is probably vulnerable.

I'm curious whether recent Androids are easily vulnerable. It's plausible, although IMO unlikely, that they've done some SELinux or other mitigation that prevents the exploit from working. (I'm not entirely convinced that SELinux can block this one, though.)

Sandstorm appears to be safe. :)

At least they mention it:

"None of this new data constitutes a smoking gun that can clearly frame Russia as the culprit"

The scam was so generic I'm confused why it has to be Russian government vs individuals, but it doesn't matter much IMO.
Obviously.

The quoted paragraph is buildup to the fact that AngularJS evals content on purpose, and does not really even try to be secure against maliciously-crafted DOM. Browsers, on the other hand, are designed to resist attacks.

But yes, certainly you need to trust the browser more than an extension.
And for earlier kernel versions, there is an STAP patch:

1) On the host, save the following in a file with the ".stp" extension:

probe kernel.function("mem_write").call ? {
$count = 0
}
probe syscall.ptrace { // includes compat ptrace as well
$request = 0xfff
}

2) Install the "systemtap" package and any required dependencies. Refer
to the "2. Using SystemTap" chapter in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux
"SystemTap Beginners Guide" document, available from docs.redhat.com,
for information on installing the required -debuginfo packages.

3) Run the "stap -g [filename-from-step-1].stp" command as root.

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

The only difference between Thiel and Eich is that the former has a more attractive profit-to-pain ratio, and thus is defended from the mob.
I'm extremely reluctant to rely on Google services for core infrastructure for anything revenue generating after seeing the shenanigans they've played on pricing with their other services (especially Google Maps, where they initially jacked up the pricing to an absurd level, then backpedaled and made the prices 1/10 what they were initially threatening) and the relatively short migration windows they typically provide.

Besides capricious pricing changes, their support is notoriously bad, even for paid apps for business.

They don't seem to understand business customers needs nearly as well as Microsoft/Amazon, from what I've seen.

Really not who I want running my business's server infrastructure, even if it's completely free.

Relevent portion from the article:

"US government took the rare step of publicly pointing the finger at the Russian government, accusing it of directing the recent string of hacks and data breaches. The intelligence community declined to explain how they reached their conclusion, and it’s fair to assume they have data no one else can see."

So, if the evidence exists (and I personally believe it does, though I also understand those who disagree) it hasn't been made public.
reading the documentation, it looks like more of an NFS replacement with S3 API; I did not see any mention of clustering and redundancy
US v Jones, which your link discusses, didn't rule on the 3rd-party doctrine, which is (unfortunately) still being used. Yes, Justice Sotomayor, in her concurring opinion, made a very good case for revisiting what "expectation of privacy" means and suggested that constitutional protections should extend into 3rd party data. Chief Justice Roberts made similar comments[1] in the court opinion for Riley v. CA.

However, those cases addressed specific questions (placing a GPS tracking device, and searching a cellphone that was found upon arrest) and did not rule on the general use of the 3rd-party doctrine. I hope those cases are a sign of change in the court that will lead to broader rulings in the future, but that hasn't happened yet.

Most jobs are and always will be a chore.

But it isn't "cool" to admit it, in job postings as well as in job applications.

In my experience "professionality" is also doing your job (and doing it well) also and especially when it's a chore.
Was going to say, RX100 is in a class of its own :). I always have it with me when I travel and often have it my pocket just in case. I don't always use it, but it's small enough not to care. Especially for outdoors photography, an RX100 generally takes better pictures than a DSLR, because you're more likely to have it with you when a good picture opportunity arises.
Yeah, I procrastinated on this for years. What I did was:

- Created an email address at my own domain and forwarded it to Gmail.

- For the last year or so, started using it as my email address and changing accounts to use it as it came up.

- Signed up with FastMail and set up my domain's MX records to point to it.

- Still checking Gmail for stragglers to change over to my new address.

- Eventually will set Gmail addresses to forward, but didn't want to rush that so I remember to just make stuff not go to Gmail.

The hardest thing is getting used to folders again vs. labels. But FastMail has everything like filters and aliases and two-factor auth to an extent that... honestly makes Gmail look kinda basic.

The advanced features of Gmail were the most compelling reason to switch to it, but FastMail takes them a lot further.

The .net framework of the OS gets updated with Windows Update automatically. It is not the same problem at all.

I obviously didn't downvote but I do understand the downvotes: it is unrealistic to expect every website to be actively maintained forever. I am sure he deploys a new version every 20 minutes of his current project. I would be curious to know how many versions a year he deploys of the projects on which he worked 5 or 7 years ago and from which he moved on.

The world is filled with legacy applications, libraries and websites. Pretending that the code we write today will always be actively maintained and supported is just unrealistic.

Not everything about Material Design is bad, but many of the implementations are bad, including many of Google's.

Problems with Material Design include:

- overly bright/saturated colors
- too much animation
- obnoxious easings
- an overly dry look -- kind of like formal stationary or plastic
- centered text and content at the tops of pages (I don't know if the specification encourages this, but it's become more common)
- bad usability with forms. A text input should be a box, not a line, and it doesn't need to distract users with animation when clicking on the input.
Ocaml is only one that uses GC IIRC. Others produce C.
I doubt they attack every single account every single day. At that point google should just ban the IPs doing that. Or at least turn of notifications for those IPs.

Anyway excessive notifications are a solved problem. You can limit the notifications to one every month, and you can allow the user to disable them. But I would certainly like to know if someone tried to login to my account, and I think it would make regular users more security conscious.

I am a non-citizen, and I have been selected for jury duty. I have obviously declined it.

The jury duty selection process is done by picking drivers' licenses at random. You don't need to be a citizen to have a driver's license.

You're missing option #4, which is far more likely then option #3 - non-citizens who were called up for jury duty, who later became citizens.

Your analysis of group #1 is in contradiction with reality. People make up all sorts of reasons to get out of jury duty. In practice, they are not prosecuted for it.

> "When exposed to carbon dioxide and a small electrical charge, this catalyst sets off an complex chain reaction that essentially reverses the combustion process and converts the gas into liquid ethanol. What's more, because the catalyst is so small, there is virtually no side reactions so the ethanol is quite pure. I mean, you wouldn't want to make a martini with it but it can go straight into a generator and work. Plus, the entire reaction works at room temperature." (sic)

First it was a Windows phone, so it is hard to compare.

Second I think that your view is too simplistic. There are more use cases than these two. Some people prefer Fuji cameras over DSLRs, some probably would like to have a potentially decent camera with them all the time, but did not bother to have a Windows phone.

There are legitimate uses of eval. And there are plenty of other ways for extensions to be insecure besides by using eval!

It could easily prevent robberies by telling you that an officer is always within 5 minutes of any potential heist.

At this point though, most bank robbers are idiots, they show their faces on camera and it's just a matter of time until they're caught (e.g. with this facial recognition database, but mostly people just recognize the photos, although of course there's a false positive positive problem: https://theintercept.com/2016/10/13/how-a-facial-recognition...).

I think the GP was being sarcastic and casting doubt on the need for or importance of a unifying theoretical framework in CS.

> Well, our storage platform is online and random access so it would be inappropriate to compare it to either nearline or glacier.

That would be true but you stated "circa 2016, the cool kids are all backing up to rsync.net with borg", so comparing your service pricing as a backup product to Nearline is appropriate I believe.

Don't get me wrong, your service definitely has a lot of good applications and the free bandwidth is quite great but for those of us that just want somewhere to park a whole pile of data we aren't going to touch much, Rsync.net is quite expensive.

Also a downside of rsync.net vs. AWS/GCS etc. is that you can't direct users' HTTP requests to rsync.net. That dampens the usefulness of online storage and unlimited bandwidth, since it essentially limits it to servers under our own control. If I could run HTTP off it directly, my feelings would be very very different.

I don't know how it could be clearer: an academic and long-time confidant of the Clintons emails the Chairman of the 2016 Hillary Clinton Presidential Campaign and says "we've all been quite content to demean government, drop civics and in general conspire to produce an unaware and compliant citizenry." It's sparkling clear from his tone, content and personal history that he's an insider and adviser to the campaign and that this is just a run-of-the-mill email to the Chairman with his thoughts on strategy.

I don't see anything abnormal in this exchange at all: grizzled old adviser shares his thoughts on the entertainment-cum-revolution that is the Trump campaign and ruefully admits that the Dems need a rethink. And I'm not the one tying myself in angry knots trying to spin this as an innocent email encouraging greater civic participation.
