On the other hand, didn't moot auto-edit people's 4chan comments all the time? I'm told this is where the current meaning of "weeaboo" came from, because moot was sick of the word "wapanese".

Although this is an odd thread to use Urban Dictionary as an authoritative source, that's what I've got: [1]

This is one of the reasons that people are excited about Rust; it promises to eliminate a whole class of security bugs that are often found in C applications and libraries. Without having to resort to managed code.
I'm genuinely curious how that works. I know once you get up to a certain level you can thrive just by crafting high-quality answers to random peoples' questions. But still. For me, even if I don't work on some routine production stuff and simply try to learn things, it takes quite a bit of uninterrupted time to master a certain topic. And with our field being what it is, there are more and more topics getting rolled out every day no matter what stack you use. So how is it possible for one person to run essentially a one-man commercial-grade support operation for a complicated ever-changing technology?
You're being awfully charitable.
It's on the order of magnitude of royal fuck-up.
How can any user expect to be safe on Reddit anymore?

This is the sort of situation that irrevocably damages trust.
What's the guarantee that this won't happen again?

What bothers me more is that this sort of functionality exists in the first place. All it would take is one compromised admin account, and boom, you can rewrite somebody's entire comment history without it being logged anywhere.
No, let's instead say that you and all your pals were spamming "fuck pg" in a "pg is a pedo" thread you made, and he changed your comments to instead say "fuck gamechangr". That would be pretty funny. And also a HUGE HUGE DIFFERENCE from "changing your political messaging to be for what it was supposed to be against".
I would agree that there are obviously ways in which Apple could participate more in many of the open-source projects they use, but I don't really buy your point - it's literally source code which is open!

The idea is for Apple to release the source for components that are included in macOS, and the license requires publication. There is no obligation (or, I would argue, expectation) to do anything more.
There is a massive difference between Twitter banning accounts, and Twitter transparently editing accounts to harass someone else.

It would be like you posting a Twitter message that says "I hate Donald Trump" and Twitter transparently changing that message to "I hate Tim Cook" so that anybody reading your timeline thinks you're someone you aren't. See the problem now? Now imagine if Twitter's management was taken over tomorrow and this actually happens.

Would you not be a little bit outraged?

The problem isn't tampering after a request -- it's before.

If the reddit admin edits of comments aren't appropriately stored in comment history, the logs turned over won't tell the whole story, but reddit will (mistakenly) testify that it's the complete history.

You can even add a dash of malice: an exec edits a rival's post, but the subpoena is filled by a line tech (possibly unaware of the admin tools, even).

Unless the defense knows to press reddit on the actual veracity of their logs and ways they could be compromised, the erroneous data seems a fact to the court.
Then if the team works hard (say, they're superhuman and can work 24 hours a day 7 days a week straight) and do what other teams do in 3 months in one, will they get the other two off?

The overtime law gives the Department of Labor the authority to define who is exempt. The judge was the one that made up law by inventing a limit to the authority that congress granted to the Department of Labor.
"Yep, the thing that's going to scare the United States government out of killing its citizens is them armed with arsenals of M-16's against their… F-22s, B-52s, carrier groups, and tanks."

Do not underestimate guerrilla warfare. There are many examples in history when a small, armed group managed to resist huge regular armies for years, decades or even achieve victory. See Afghanistan for example: two biggest military powers on the entire planet (USSR, NATO) failed there. Bombers and tanks won't be very useful against small, mobile groups of fighters, especially in urban environment, unless you are going to raze everything to the ground (like Chechnya or Aleppo).
This is the reason why clearance forms ask you to disclose all of your past transgressions: It doesn't matter as much that you have them, but it matters if you're embarrassed by them.

(1): That's a gross oversimplification. Trumps support was not primarily alt-right, they were at best a vocal, but small part. Even if they were a significant part of the coalition, this election doesn't suddenly validate those views. A fundamental part of our system is the protection from the tyranny of the majority...

(2): this is an impressive extension of the 'sour grapes' response meme. We're going to shit on WWII vets if they don't (rhetorically) get on the trump train now?
RBI + MoF it seems.

Not sure. The only explanation I can think of is that they don't have Aadhar being illegal migrants or something like that. Or that the bank they are visiting is mismanaged - for which someone should file a complaint.

Btw, you can tell them that they get a full savings account at post offices as well. If they have some savings, it's better for them since interest is higher for families with BPL cards.
Can you explain how Trump's views are "racist"? AFAIK, he criticised criminal illegal Mexican immigrants, not even a whole nationality, let alone a whole race!

> Having had to deal with internationalization before, I can honestly say that there's only one way to handle it: convert all string data to your internal representation (be it UTF-8 (Rust), UTF-16 (Java), or UTF-32 (Python)) at the margin where you read/write it

I'm not going to go into the actual subtleties here but there is a lot more to it than what you suggest here. However the biggest mistake you made here is to equate that any encoding is equivalent here. There is a tremendous difference between using utf-8 as internal encoding or a variable encoding like in Python 3. Rust and Go have free bytes/string conversion wheres Python 3 has none of that.
Am I the only one who isn't really concerned with this?

But there's a huge difference between strictly moderation the (default) subreddits in a fair, neutral or balanced way, and deleting whole subcommunities because they "spam" r/all. Maybe a better idea. Would be to delete r/all?!
Yeah it's worse. Using a privileged position to discredit opposition under the cover of "lolz."
That is the idea definitely. It mostly works too, just like you said it's a diverse group of subcommunities all with their own rules. But they found that free speech platform wide meant some truly nefarious subcommunities could exist on their infrastructure, these subcommunities didn't self regulate enough. Quite reasonably they have decided they don't want that to happen and have stepped up the platform wide censorship.

The contention seems to be where they draw the line, and just how free their version of free is.
All citizens of high quality countries naturally just grew protection from propaganda, PR and psychological tricks, which evolved effortlessly for mass media/communication that reaches 100M people instantly.

I just want to thank Daniel for volunteering his project for this level of scrutiny, and then putting in the very long hours to address the results of that process.
I know software development is sometimes a thankless task, and I know he got some rather heavy handed response from Apple when he announced all these fixes at such "short notice".
For 2500 years their way of life has survived Alexander the Great, the Sassanids, Genghis Khan and the mongol hordes, the USSR, and possibly the United States. In that same time many other peoples have ceased to exist entirely.

We may hold different values but we can learn from their longevity and resistance.
Agreed. Unfortunately, the opposite of "move fast and break things" is "move slow and watch them break on their own."

I bought a bunch of domains a while ago, to build something like this, and split-test the names, but haven't put any effort into it yet. Is there legit interest? It would have to be strictly third party generated content, otherwise it could be taken down due to various legal reasons... I think I would need to hire an attorney anyway.

I'll probably let all the domains expire, except for "shit.business", that one is gold.

In the words of Elon Musk "If we published patents, it would be farcical, because the Chinese would just use them as a recipe book". From high speed trains, to maglev, to wind turbines, to kickstarter designs, to brands, designs, even entire styles of european and american cities like Paris, Venice, & London, the Chinese are notorious for stealing and reselling knockoffs of technologies. They simply rebrand it as "Chinese innovation".

Every group of people have a desire for power and world domination, they all just use different methods. And for the Chinese, intellectual colonization seems to be working.

In my opinion, this is yet another example of a social problem that technology simply amplifies.

Humans make mistakes. Computer systems are fragile. As humans keep developing computer systems, new attack surfaces, new vulnerabilities will be introduced. It's pointless to try and keep playing catch-up either with or without "regulations".

Instead, we should consider _why_ such attacks happen in the first place. Who are the targets? States? Corporations? Maybe they're not open enough. Maybe they're too powerful. Or are we afraid that our governments, corporations, or other entities/instituions of our society invade our privacy to manipulate us? Or are we scared for our wealth or status?

None of these are technological issues at their core. Our society needs to adapt and grow up to this powerful technology. Until then, the only thing we can do for our safety is refuse to use it.

> Interestingly, Fred Chow and the SGI compiler/Open64/Path64 etc. optimizes implicit loops by expanding them into explicit ones, and then making sure that the regular optimizer does a great job on that.

So does GFortran, FWIW. That being said, there is a lot of work to that is done before this lowering pass (as I'm sure you know, but for other readers who might not be as familiar with Fortran and compiler internals). In particular, the Fortran array expression semantics are that the RHS is evaluated before assigning to the LHS. So a simplistic approach would require allocating a temporary array every time. So there needs to be quite a lot of logic to handle various special cases in order to avoid the temporary arrays.

Both the Windows Server 2003 x86 and the Windows XP amd64 kernel source code have been available for academic purposes. They are governed under the WRT License, which forbids re-distribution outside of the academic use. But yes, MS provided that source code with full documentation on how to build and debug each kernel.

I've built the WinXP kernel a few months ago just for nostalgic purposes, here's a VM running the custom kernel with a KDBG hook on NTQSysInfo [1]. The neat thing is that you can debug on the system itself, or via a serial port.

I also know that some people had success merging the /base/ code from the above licensed kernel (but the x86 version) and the leaked WinNT4 code. One even got so far as to manage a recompile of the NT setup, building a custom NT OS from scratch. Though that's violating the WRK and NT license left and right.

Yeah, and that's even more stupid if your threat model considers your country and ISP as an adversary. We don't all live in nice countries, and in this case not having a VPN is far worse in terms of traffic interception than having your Streisand or similar. I guess Android developers are only aware of suspicious VPN providers and do not even provide an option to reverse this warning banner.

Think about humans. For Chinese males, it is very likely to mate up with Chinese girls. That's not just a matter of availability (in China, there live mostly Chinese-looking people o_o), but also a phenomenon overseas, I believe. You have a lot more in common, similar values and similar cultural perceptions.

PS: This case shall not be construed to address Chinese especially, I'm convinced it works the same with all the similar ethnic groups and even subgroups.

One of the most egregious examples of fake news is the story from the nonexistent news organization, The Denver Guardian, about an FBI agent involved in the Clinton investigation being found dead in a suspected murder suicide. This article was posted on November 5, 2016. It is unequivocally fake news. The creator of the fake article, is the CEO of a company named Disinfomedia.

There is no other side to this story. There is no partisan tilt that cherry picks facts to construct a narrative. It is entirely fabricated, and crafted specifically to disinform its audience.

Here is a source for the judge's order: https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/files/epress/Overtime_-...

I am not a lawyer, so I urge people to read the text and decide for themselves. Here's my analysis:

In order to issue a preliminary injuction, the plaintiffs must present a "prima facie" case, essentially, a demonstration that they can win the case under the assumption that all their factual claims are true. First the plaintiffs must demonstrate that they are likely to succeed on the merits of the case. Then they must show they would suffer "irreparable harm", necessitating the injunction. The court must then consider a "balance of hardships" - since in a preliminary injunction, both sides can claim "injury", the court must "consider the effect on each party of the granting or withholding of the requested relief". Further, the plaintiffs must demonstrate a "public interest" in the injunction.

For the "likelihood of success on the merits", the judge analysed each of the arguments:

1. Plaintiffs argue that the FLSA does not apply to the States; the judge decides it does, applying the "Garcia" analysis from the Supreme Court.

2. Plaintiffs argue that Chevron deference does not apply for this case, judge agrees. Chevron deference is a legal standard roughly saying that in the case of an ambiguous law, the Court should defer to the interpretation of the government body authorized to apply the law(as they are presumed experts in the field), as long as the interpretation does not contradict the evident intentions of the law.

3. Plaintiffs argue that the automatic update mechanism of the Final Rule violates the APA. The judge does not analyse this, using his previous analysis of Chevron deference to conclude that the Final Rule is unlawful and that 3) does not need to be settled.

The rest of the analysis("irreparable harm" etc) from the judge is not as long so I don't feel it's worth summarizing in any way.

I don't find the judge "making up" any law in their analysis - can you please be more specific which part of his analysis you disagree with?
Deleting comments is fine - the problem is that he edited comment without explicit or implicit user consent or even remark about it. This is as bad as it gets for any media company.

Basically irrelevant. One hell of a veil to pierce.

This isn't even the first time reddit's indicated they're kind of... flexible, let's say, with how they handle certain kinds of data; but it always seemed like they stopped just short of crossing lines.

Unmarked edits to user comments was absolutely not something I'd've expected to come of that, so I can't say I'm not surprised; still, this seems like it's just the next stage of something that's always seemed to exist (or not exist, I suppose) for them.
The timing of this is intriguing. Pretty much last minute change. I do a lot of accounting & payroll consulting work (not in the US), but I see on a lot of forums that consultants in the US are panicking because they have spent weeks getting their client systems ready for the change, and now they have to maybe undo all of that in short order.
