With all due respect, I'm afraid you're addressing a series of unrelated points and indulging, hopefully unintentionally, in a rhetorical smokescreen, which includes editing your original post to hide an important topic.

I'm aware of what systemd claims to be. I'm aware of the benefits that its fans claim it, and it alone has.

My criticism is not with the Linux kernel (!?!) or user namespacing as a concept. My criticism is that systemd takes all of the rich complexity of user namespacing and, in response, adds the flag 'PrivateUsers=yes' -- a boolean. That's not what user namespacing is for and now we have two problems: systemd, which has no business making that decision and has done it the wrong way, and the continuing need, which has not been solved by a boolean flag, for daemons to have competent, complex user namespaces. Now devs have to know both ways: the half-assed way, and the real way, instead of just having a tool that gives them the real way.

That's what we in the software design business call a shitty design that would make Guy Fieri blush. But I guess we're all in Flavortown now.
I would guess actually marching or attending a rally is much more effective than online petitions, because it shows people are already across the mobilization threshold.

Implicit in a march at the capital is "This many people could be here with torches and guns". By contrast, people clicking online aren't very active.

I have been using gogs on a raspberry pi for my personal use and I really like it.
My use case has mostly been for hosting repositories that I don't want to share publicly or use for my personal needs.

The nice thing about git is that it's distributed. You can place as many mirrors as you like. If you make the project and repo names the exact same as the official ones, then switching between them can be as easy as replacing a hostname in your dependency manager.
Is there any particular reason why this is recommended over Gogs?
This touches on the topic of projection. You are never who you actually are, to another person. You are just a blank, upon which they'll project all their own questions, fears, priorities and pet issues. If you're insecure about money you'll say "Damn that richypants Jessica and her sanctimonious blablabla." If you're preoccupied with race you'll say "Typical that a privileged white lady says so and so." If gender is your thing you'll either say "It's so empowering to see a woman blablabla" or "The nerve of this evil harpy blablabla," depending. Do any of these various horseshit interpretations represent the real Jessica?

So no, a lot of people decide it's not worth it, to be everybody's projection target. And contrary to one of her points, I don't think it's any great tragedy. It's only the stupid internet, remember! What unites people in real friendship is long-term shared tangible interest, of a type that is all but gone from public life in America except maybe in the smallest, supposedly most "backward" farming towns.
Still getting 503 First Byte Timeouts when trying to view content on raw.githubusercontent.com so definitely not all back yet
There are a lot of places that don't have cable, some that don't have DSL, and a few that don't have either. I just moved from a house that didn't have either (I was on Satellite Internet), my new home in the city only has cable, no DSL, so there is no competition (I think there is a wireless provider, but they are pretty expensive and not very fast at all).

Gitlab can go down. Gitlab might have outages as well unless you are using the self-hosted version (although, in this case there is a self-hosted version of Github as well).

Just because Gitlab is not as famous as Github and hackers don't run their botnets on it, it doesn't mean it is safe or stable.
It is in fact all messages. They can simply not deliver the first message and force a resend record that mesaage. Afterwards force again a resend with the old encryption key and deliver that mesaage. No one would get a notification.
The best no-limit hold-em players in the world are also presumably quite good at limit hold-em, limit omaha, 7 card stud, etc., not to mention other card games like bridge. Serious question: When these programs are built to beat humans in one very particular task, are they any better at beating humans at similar tasks?
I have no idea what goes on in google. That said, even if they don't correlate with "personal information that you have provided," you as an IP address are still identifiable as that IP address, and correlatable with yourself, for as long as that IP lasts for you.

Which means Google could cause ads to follow you around, for example. Again, I don't know what all they actually do or don't do with their DNS logs, but the quoted "promise" doesn't promise anonymity, just separation of you as a known Google user from you as a semi-anonymous but specific DNS user.

I'm reminded of the early days of the Snowden revelations, when the NSA was saying "it's just metadata."

Once all the baby boomers drop dead. Seriously.
Why would it be surprising that the child of someone who is white and someone who is half white might go on to appear mostly white? You yourself mention that your genetic makeup (presumably from 23andme or something) also suggests a "mostly white" appearance. In this case, there's a pretty good match between phenotype and genotype.

You absolutely can predict someone's phenotype from her genotype, roughly speaking. In cases of recent admixture, the exact gene expression can be uncertain. Just look at Mendel and his peas! Even this variable heredity has limits. There was a zero percent chance that you'd end up looking like a typical Japanese person.

I don't understand your point. I'm not claiming that the classic races are fixed for all time. I'm not suggesting that we can't arrange genes in new combinations. I am claiming that people today cluster in certain historically-contingent ways and that these clusters reflect the everyday understanding of race.

"That’s a surprise, considering how well this area has been studied by researchers"

Is it? We don't know much about the individual types of neurons at all - it's a sisyphean task, there are just too many.

We don't even know how a brain really functions, because it looks like it's not just neurons and there has to be much more to it. Considering the complexity, I'm almost certain there are many more mechanisms involved.

Remember: the brain doesn't come into existence with a fixed structure, it is built up from an over-connected state, synapses are pruned during development and after that it continues to change its structure over time depending on the input from the environment. It's not that simple and I don't think that we'll ever be able to understand it completely.
Sorry to hear that then. I'm positive this doesn't happen in the EU though, yet we're willingly giving Google more data.
>The signal is going to look the same everytime.

What makes you think that it will look the same? I don't think it is that deterministic to be practical. Even so, would it generalize to different people?

Can't be too classy when you're complicit in torture by refusing to enforce it's prosecution, be on watch while your military commits war crimes or hell, be at war every day of your 8 year watch. Real classy for a warmongering mass murderer. Oh and kill lists, super classy stuff.

People who call Obama classy are clueless.
The Fire Emblem and Bravely Default series on 3ds are both as good as any series on other platforms. Wii and Wii U are difficult cases but the DS line has in general been an incredibly good console platform. I actually think it was the best of the last generation. Maybe the switch can carry that on but I'm not sure.
> On top of that, they also attracted people who would never buy a normal console because normal consoles don't appeal to them at all.

Sounds like me. I don't buy a gaming system to play games generally, I buy one to play the kind of games Nintendo makes and attracts to its hardware. That's why I still pull my Gamecube out to play SSBM from time to time, but have never owned a Playstation or X-Box, and have barely touched either of them. I haven't had a new system since GBA and Gamecube, but I think I'd enjoy the newer Nintendo systems more than the systems they were released next to.
I think their current culture is toxic for both. Their hardware is polished but IMHO has prioritized form over function at an extreme level, and seems to be developed in complete isolation from the user base.
I really loved this book -- it's definitely highly recommended by many folks (I think know Bill Gates was a big fan). But I don't recall it containing much -- if anything at all -- about CRISPR?
Not if you've got your CI configured properly.
This is a poor article.

First of all, its numbers are way off. I plotted last Tuesday's data ( http://cdec.water.ca.gov/cgi-progs/products/rescond.pdf for current levels) and the total reservoir levels added up to be 101% of typical years (ranging from well below at New Melones, which is still low, to abnormally high for some of the smaller ones like Folsom. The total water level was still less than 2/3 total capacity (actually 63%).

This is exciting but doesn't get us out of the woods. Those historical levels have of course been trending down due to low water levels. Just look at those pictures of the floating docks on Folsom: all that grassy, treeless area around the lake is empty reservoir! We don't want them completely full since there would be no buffer for later filling. What you want is full for a given point in the season.

There are two other problems. One is that we have another reservoir system: the snowpack. We just got a couple of meters of accumulation which is great, but it was preceded by a rain that washed a lot of water out of the snowpack and into the reservoirs. We depend on that snowpack to modulate the water release into the year for two reasons; one is it's a free buffer. The other is that as it trickles down rather than gushing down it percolates into the aquifers, which are historically low.

Some of them are irrecoverable (under the Central Valley the water was laid down 20,000 years ago; when it is sucked out the ground sinks so the water can't be replaced) but many are also natural reservoirs that need to be recharged. If we get an earlier sprint and overall warmer conditions that water will rush across the land and into the sea rather than into the ground.

So this is great news, no question, but that article doesn't tell a useful story.

I did too, and I also almost wish I hadn't, but, TBF, it's not like the other choices were that great.
I am based in europe and my experience is basically on international flights. Maybe it doesn't apply in the USA.

The flights that didn't have USB outlets were shorter anyway, so the battery would hold.
> plus, the "notify key changes" setting is off by default

that's the thing: That setting is pure placebo security-theater. There's nothing to guarantee that this setting actually causes notification on all key changes, whether it's on or off.

Knowing that we all have trouble trusting Facebook, we can assume that all this setting does is inform users when their counterpart has a new phone (which in itself is a very slight privacy issue. I might not want you to know that I have a new phone / reinstalled WhatsApp).

It won't inform users when Facebook adds another public key for analytics and it also won't inform when the NSA adds a key through their special surveillance interface Facebook built for them.

That's the issue with all IM services that manage public keys for their users and thus, my original point was that it's pointless to rage against WhatsApp alone.

Worse: Let's say they change the default due to the present outrage: Then everybody will be pleased with them while the actual backdoor remains in place.
The 20th century isn't the century of genocide; it's the century of media covered genocide.
> But the relation of those groups with what we call "race" is almost zero.

The everyday races correspond to real, observable genetic clusters. There are real characteristics shared by members of these large groups, e.g. the epicanthic fold in East Asians.

The genetic phylogeny doesn't lie. The Sub-Saharan diversity you're mentioning --- e.g., between Bushmen and the Igbo --- is about large-separation clades within the larger continental grouping.
EA was there and announced a FIFA game, so I'm assuming their other sports games are coming as well.

There are far more heart disease than lung cancer deaths in the US -- and has been so since forever (4 times more or so).

In fact the number of lung cancers peaked in 2014 -- way after smoking became a faux pas. It was less when everybody and their dog smoked.

Many people don't have meaningful choices of ISPs, and some ISPs only run a couple resolver clusters far away from customers, are just plain bad at running them, or are playing DNS MITM games.
From the Netherlands:

Pings:

Freenom: rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 17.509/20.928/26.588/3.520 ms
Google: rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 18.013/21.057/24.841/2.500 ms

Actual resolve times: (dig @8.8.8.8 example.com):

Freenom: ;; Query time: 19 msec (avg)
Google: ;; Query time: 31 (21) msec (avg)

Averages over 10 pings / digs. The google query time had two outliers at ~49 ms. If I discount those, it's about 21 ms. But I don't see why I'd discount them.
More interesting info on Maluuba's 2 actual, recently-released datasets: http://datasets.maluuba.com/

Their "News QA dataset" contains 120k Q&As collected from CNN articles:

Documents are CNN news articles. Questions are written by human users in natural language. Answers may be multiword passages of the source text. Questions may be unanswerable.

NewsQA is collected using a 3-stage, siloed process. Questioners see only an article's headline and highlights. Answerers see the question and the full article, then select an answer passage. Validators see the article, the question, and a set of answers that they rank. NewsQA is more natural and more challenging than previous datasets.

Their "Frames" dataset contains 1369 dialogues for vacation scheduling:

With this dataset, we also present a new task: frame tracking. Our main observation is that decision-making is tightly linked to memory. In effect, to choose a trip, users and wizards talked about different possibilities, compared them and went back-and-forth between cities, dates, or vacation packages.

Current systems are memory-less. They implement slot-filling for search as a sequential process where the user is asked for constraints one after the other until a database query can be formulated. Only one set of constraints is kept in memory. For instance, in the illustration below, on the left, when the user mentions Montreal, it overwrites Toronto as destination city. However, behaviours observed in Frames imply that slot values should not be overwritten. One use-case is comparisons: it is common that users ask to compare different items and in this case, different sets of constraints are involved (for instance, different destinations). Frame tracking consists of keeping in memory all the different sets of constraints mentioned by the user. It is a generalization of the state tracking task to a setting where not only the current frame is memorized.

Adding this kind of conversational memory is key to building agents which do not simply serve as a natural language interface for searching a database but instead accompany users in their exploration and help them find the best item.

Can anyone with experience in ML/AI comment on how novel/complex these projects are, and how expensive it would be to build out these datasets? Would be interesting to see what it takes to publish a few datasets trained on 20 day conversations between real people, and get acquired by Microsoft/Apple/Google.
I like the idea behind OpenNIC and tried it for a few months, but found it less reliable than I wanted it to be.
Hmm, the only death example was Galois. Not sure we can make a theme out of that. Also, I'm not sure: are you 35 and are talking about yourself or something made you think I am?
MS has always shown that they can do research, halolens is one such product and the recent ML enablement spree is another example. It is a good thing that they are going beyond their comfort zone of milking Windows. What is interesting is to see if their efforts make any difference in the status quo. I say this after using AzureML, which I liked, there is no such thing on the internet which allows you to write a ML model without knowing a programming language! It is a webapp which asks you to put data inside it, click a few buttons and it generates python or R code for you. Just brilliant.
Fresh Air on NPR yesterday did an hour where they discussed gene editing and the such. Incredibly fascinating! I was recently diagnosed with colon cancer (i'm doing great) and I'm totally rediscovering genomics. Having not given any thought to this stuff since AP Bio in highschool so many advances have been made!!

I'm especially curious how machine learning will play into all of this (the broader genomics community). So much more interesting than the "cyber" stuff I work on now :)
I would love this if gitea had a docker image for arm prebuilt. gogs/gogs-rpi is several versions behind gogs/gogs, but it at least exists.

I am sorry, I still didn't get your concern. It is easy in my opinion to identify the person writing Go code. Look at their Github profile! (I am not a recruiter, so I don't know how effective that really is, but Github profile does reflect a person's contributions to FOSS and if the person is a FOSS contributors, look at their repos or their other PRs or their projects)
Are your new job types appearing because of automation, or are they just any new job type which is quickly automated?

I wonder if the most efficient way to teach an AI how to do a job will be to maximize its ability to learn from a human in general, and then watch a human do a task before taking it over. We're already doing that now, when the Disneys et al. bring in H1B replacements to learn a job that they are going to take over.

I'm trying to understand this same thing. I don't see why triggering a client to generate new keys is a problem. Giving the client keys to use is a problem, but that's not what it's saying.

Edit: it is described much better here: https://tobi.rocks/2016/04/whats-app-retransmission-vulnerab...

The idea is that in addition to the keys being regenerated, the recipient phone is spoofed (a key point not mentioned). So the FBI could tell the Whatsapp company to generate a fake recipient phone and connect the sender phone to that phone instead.

If we don't know what the reason was, and they won't elaborate on it, what importance does it have? Pwn2Own 2016 already happened. Firefox wasn't included, for whatever reason. The damage is already done at this point, as its exclusion created the impression that it was "not worth attacking".

If the guys had said, "We didn't bother with Firefox because they weren't willing to pay us as much as Google or Microsoft", okay. But they didn't. What they said was:

'We wanted to focus on the browsers that have made serious security improvements in the last year,' Brian Gorenc, manager of Vulnerability Research at HPE said."

And now Firefox looks weak by comparison.
