I don't want to diminish the problems you've outlined, but I do think our current state is different from what GP believes is coming. We are still free to use strong crypto, free to take steps to anonymise ourselves. As long as we can do those things without fear of prosecution, I think there is a glimmer of hope for the internet.

Yes, I thought about adding those, then forgot. They're obviously quality news sources. I know there's a lot of criticism of newspapers using agencies, but not for a lack of quality. (And criticizing their use is also a bit questionable – it's kinda like criticizing programmers for using libraries, and nobody has an idea for a business model that works without them)

There's something really disturbing about this. The FBI is cheerily talking about attacking "darknet infrastructure".

What I am saying is that critical thinking doesn't have a lower boundary. It will always be subject to the premise we base something on.

A voter who doesn't have a job because of ex. globalization isn't going to apply the same critical thinking of a voter who is doing well and is benefitting from globalization.

We are all trapped by our frames of reference, no amount of critical thinking is going to change that and just because you know of critical thinking you aren't going to make better decisions.

Furthermore there are plenty of people who understand and apply critical thinking. What is really missing is constructive thinking but thats another thing all together.
Top 6 Embedded Tools for Engineers
Quickly, Apple is descending into a company flailing and thrashing at an attempt to recapture some imaginary magic moment as viewed in hindsight through rose-colored glasses.

Unfortunately, even if they start selling rose-colored glasses, it won't necessarily promote the perception of similar sentimental metaphors in their clientelle.

Apple sort of needs a quiet period, in my opinion. There's a degree of fatigue to their capacity to impress.

How many times can you say "wow" about a company before you stop meaning it?

Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe giving up any amount of inertia is death, for a large complicated organisation.

Whatever the case, I hate the idea of constantly being on everyone else's eyeglass cam, every time I step out in public. Apple's niche fashion accessory product angle isn't going to change my visceral reaction to that idea.

To be RFC compliant, it MUST NOT allow the user to ignore the errors.

12.1. No User Recourse

Failing secure connection establishment on any warnings or errors
(per Section 8.4 ("Errors in Secure Transport Establishment")) should
be done with "no user recourse". This means that the user should not
be presented with a dialog giving her the option to proceed. Rather,
it should be treated similarly to a server error where there is
nothing further the user can do with respect to interacting with the
target web application, other than wait and retry.

Essentially, "any warnings or errors" means anything that would cause
the UA implementation to announce to the user that something is not
entirely correct with the connection establishment.

Not doing this, i.e., allowing user recourse such as "clicking
through warning/error dialogs", is a recipe for a man-in-the-middle
attack. If a web application issues an HSTS Policy, then it is
implicitly opting into the "no user recourse" approach, whereby all
certificate errors or warnings cause a connection termination, with
no chance to "fool" users into making the wrong decision and
compromising themselves.

A server instance has no legal rights. The human controlling the server has certain legal rights in how they are allowed to configure and operate it. For example, as granted by the first amendment, they can serve a large variety of content to visitors, etc.

My email is <first name><middle initial>@gmail.com (six characters total) and I get about 1-1.5 misdirected emails per day. Receipts, phone bills, homework, meeting minutes, personal messages that someone passed away, angry email from a homeowner to his general contractor (in Botswana), and even a international love letter.

It's quite annoying, but the worst is sites that make it very hard to unsubscribe, or don't understand that it's possible for someone to enter an email address that doesn't belong to them in a form. In one case (a bank), I actually had to call customer service on the phone to get them to disassociate my email address with someone's account.

In the case of the love letter, I thought I should reply to say that the intended recipient didn't get the message, but when I did, the sender got really confused and didn't understand that she had mis-typed the address.
Maybe you should get in touch with them and ask them what their policy on this would be?
What if we used just enough ferrous metal as a kernel inside a grown crystal of garnet that the metal is sufficient to magnetically levitate the grain of abrasive; perhaps even extremely fine metal dust embedded within the grown crystal's matrix. Then could we pass the resulting metal-enhanced garnet abrasive grains through a Gatling rail gun?

Furthermore, since garnet has specific refractive properties different from other materials, could we pass all ferrous grains through an extremely high-speed discriminating chamber that looks for these properties in each grain, and magnetically directs the garnet grains back to the abrasive holding bin to vastly increase the recycling, while all other ferrous material goes a separate bin (for waste or other recycling purposes)?

I agree with you in general. In this case there's only one coherent taxonomy in widespread use so I think it's reasonable to say "just use it".

It's unfortunate that people who aren't already experts on a topic can't tell whether that kind of decree represents consensus or someone's idiosyncratic opinion (and there's plenty of both in general).

Framing is a different thing, though, and I can't comment there since I haven't re-read the whole article recently.

Except that the disabled reporter doesn't behave like Trump's mockery at all. He has no outward shaking or hand waving at all. [1] So the situation is actually worse: The Times not only falsely painted Trump as someone who mocks the disabled, they used a reporter's disability as a prop to attack Trump, AND they took advantage of a stereotype of disabled people to mislead their own readers. You can either accept the evidence that they lied and manipulated the reader, or continue to follow the narrative. Choose wisely.

This form of preference-dealing is highly overemphasised. HTV cards only matter if you can get them into the hands of a reasonable proportion of voters, and the reality is that only the major parties (in Australia, to some extent this includes the Greens) have the base of election volunteers available to widely staff polling booths handing out HTVs.

The preferences of minor party voters tend to scatter pretty randomly.
You can configure most major browsers to forget HSTS entries they already know about, so to the question of who owns your browser wrt honoring HSTS, I'd say it's the user.

the dynamic between the bike riders and cars is pretty complicated and there is lots of bad behavior on both sides.

but i really feel for the delivery guys. if they park on the right they have angry bike riders screaming at them and shooting past them at high speed when they are trying to work. if they park in the middle of the street they have to somehow negotiate pallet jacks full of food across active traffic.

so sure, lets make it harder for single occupancy vehicles. they use the most resource and are arguably impossible to sustain going forward. but the bikes are directly in conflict with deliveries, contractors, busses, subway riders, and pedestrians. how do we deal with that?

For small to medium volume apps it's quite good. The security configuration out of the box is quite good. All standard options like changing pgsql port, opening it up to only your main dB instance is supported.

If needs once a week downtime for half an hour for patches. But if you use multi AZ deployment with 2 instances it does this without any actual downtime. Automatically manages the failover for you.

Provisioned IOPS are very expensive. For small loads use bigger general purposes SSD say 100 to 200gb and it works OK. The IOPS are burstable so it works out OK.

>>We make things illegal for a reason. Often times, a very good reason.

So? We also often make things illegal for a very bad reason. Just because something has been made illegal doesn't mean it's bad or harmful. Often times, someone powerful simply made people believe that it is because they stood to gain from that decision.
You are looking for an employee with the same temperament and grit that it takes to be a founder.

The reason they are hard to find is because most aren't willing to be paid under market value for the small chance that your startup will succeed. If a unicorn employee is smart, they will found their own company.

I don't know if I would consider myself a 'unicorn employee', but I made many other people rich over the years because I was able to easily switch hats and get the job done.

The reward was sacrifice and hard work for a salary that was beneath the current market value and having to switch jobs every few years when either the company folded or was bought out and the employees were replaced.

At one company, the stock I received in exchange for the lower salary was devalued to nothing a few months later when the company owner created a brand new LLC and dumped all the stock that had been given out to employees.
Volunteer organisations also have regular meetings, and if you're involved with multiple volunteer organisations then it can quickly become a time management issue.

Maybe, but I get the impression that overall the addition of a true runoff tends to make things better. For example, this guy compared a number of voting methods using his preferred metric, Bayesian regret; note that when a method and a variant with a runoff added to it are compared, the runoff tends to do slightly better: http://rangevoting.org/StratHonMix.html

In addition, I have no data for this but I expect that a runoff would increase the perception of legitimacy of an electoral result, because while the initial voting procedure that narrows the field to only 2 candidates will occasionally be impacted by counterintuitive results such as spoilers, at least the runoff can always be interpreted in a straightforward manner as "we were choosing between A and B, and most voters preferred A over B".
That's friggin wild!
> Logically faith is the same thing.

According to you.
There's a bit of a difference in that the actual facts in the Economist are probably trustworthy, but I agree that they argue from a certain (free-market worshipping) point-of-view.

It's obviously a scale, and opinions will vary widely. It's not even a problem for journalism to have an opinion (I'd actually argue it's impossible). What readers should demand is a good-faith effort to argue the best version of the opposition's case.

At this point, the problem with the US right isn't actually ideology. You can believe that coal is the future, and I'll vote against you, but I'm not looking at CDC statistics to find out when I can expect you to die. It's the complete disregard for the system that's alarming. All over the country, there are polling places, often staffed by the older generation, people from both parties and independents, and the ones I've met always gave me the feeling that they'd defend the integrity of the vote no matter what. I wish I could say the same about the people being elected.
How to write amazing React Native applications with Apollo-react
That's why you combine it with -Wno-... as appropriate on a per-project as well as per-file basis in addition to a simple way to disable warnings completely.

When using make, it could look something like this:

CC := clang
CFLAGS := -std=c99
WFLAGS := -Weverything -Werror
NOWARN := vla
COMPILE = $(CC) -c $(CFLAGS) $(WFLAGS) $(NOWARN:%=-Wno-%) -o $@ $<

foo.o: NOWARN += padded

foo.o bar.o: %.o: %.c
$(COMPILE)

Building without warnings would be achieved via

make WFLAGS=""

Rules? Russian and Chinese hackers aren't going to care about any rules of conduct. As long as our government isn't spying on its own citizens without warrants, I really don't care what they do in terms of hacking the computers of foreign actors.

I really enjoy vim tabs for multiple files. Especially if I don't need to see all of them at once, but just quickly switch between them. `:tabnew foo.txt` to open another file, then `gt` to go to the next tab and `gT` to go back.

Some products are limited in when they can successfully be launched by the technology available. Google Glass launched in 2013 and was crippled by, among other things, horrid battery life. It ran a full phone/tablet SOC on a 45 nm process along with a high powered display. Apple glasses launched around 2018 would presumably use a lighter S-series chip built on a 16 nm or smaller process. They could also feature a more power efficient display technology. Apple has other big advantages (like hundreds of retail stores) but I think battery life is a feature a device like this lives or dies on.
