Aye, this is the crux of the matter, isn't it? I have a plane ticket from Canada to Europe in August, transiting in the USA and I have already contemplated changing my routing because who knows whether I will be admitted? Yes, the chances are heavily slanted towards yes in my specific case but... What I am trying to say: it makes absolutely impossible to plan travel, business into the USA if this order stands for everyone because who knows whether you will be targeted next.

I am slightly surprised to not see Boeing here, they are set to lose an enormous amount of money in Iran.

"1. Calories in, calories out is the golden rule."

Yes, but I'd argue it's not a very helpful rule. As it has been said before, it's pretty much like saying that the golden rule to get rich is "money in vs. money out". Correct, but not very helpful.
Well, I'm worried about Microsoft knowing who I am. It's hard to get legitimate Windows installs that aren't linked to non-anonymous payment methods. Not impossible, but hard.
Anything related to lucid dreams? Think of the ability to utilize the 8 hours of sleep for something productive or recreational. It will take atleast a decade before VR catches up with the level of detail you get in lucid dreams. Something that makes them more accessible for people, so that everyone could get this "me time" every night would be amazing.

If you want to try, just keep on asking yourself if you are awake throughout the day. Try reading something, it's difficult to read something on dreams. Or try using electricity switches, they normally don't work in a dream. Sooner or later you would find while doing this that you are in a dream. From there, sky is literally the limit. Imagine whatever you want, fly across mountains, travel in spaceships, etc. till the time you wake up.

I think the obesity issue exposes capitalism to some extent. Businesses stand to make money from gyms, from activewear, from diet books and pills and so all of these advertise heavily. No company stands to make loads of money if people eat less. No restaurant succeeds by advertising their medium meal or their one slider and fries or their soda without refills.

Can't speak to your calories comments, but I do think that hobbies and distractions and habits and apps can help move people in the right direction.
The interesting thing about Rust, is that the manual memory management actually feels a lot like automatic memory management, moreover it applies to any resource[1], not just memory, (unlike in a GC'ed language)

H1 is a dual-intent visa. Meaning that it's deliberately set up so that you can file for a green card on it, and not get kicked out of the country immediately (as is the case for e.g. tourist visas).

So, no, it doesn't violate its intent. And, pragmatically speaking, it's the only viable track to green card and, ultimately, citizenship for the majority of skilled immigrants into the USA.

Yes, it is still a silly setup, and most other countries have an explicit skilled immigration track that covers the same niche. Most of US immigration law and regulations is so ad-hoc and randomly slapped together (due to widely differing polices and a lot of knee jerking), that it is like that in general, though.
Maybe the problem is harder than it superficially seems, but assuming the network is not super sparse, sending things in the right geographical direction (GPS is ubiquitous) should be a very good heuristic. Couple it with exact routing information for the "neighborhood" (idk which radius would make sense) of a node, should be able to avoid going down a dead end most of the time.
Given that piping curl in bash with sudo is considered acceptable, this is not surprising
C can do exactly the same, it just won't perform the lifetime checks for you. I haven't written much Rust, but if I understand correctly you can write code that is valid, but won't compile because you're not 'following the rules' of the constraints/type checker.

I find Dafny to be a more elegant and nice solution, since this language allows you to actually prove your code is valid when it's not obvious from the static analysis. But this might be because I'm somewhat more mathematically inclined (and i admit that Dafny is still by no means easy to use)

Isn't it a sufficient argument that we should strive to create a world where all people have equal opportunity? Yes, there is a natural human instinct to try provide the best situation for oneself. But beyond that, you can either decide everything is arbitrary and nothing matters, or you can make decisions based on a moral framework. Equal opportunity for everyone, regardless of the circumstances of their birth beyond their control, seems like a good basis to me.

That said, I expect there are more robust philosophical arguments. I'm no philosopher, but I'll take a stab at it. Consider the prisoner's dilemma. If everyone acts solely in their own self-interest, it's worse for the whole than if people act cooperatively. Human civilization can be seen the same way. An individual might elevate themselves by acting purely out of self-interest, but on the average we're better off acting cooperatively. So I would suggest that not only is there a moral imperative to strive toward equality, doing so will also improve quality of life overall.

Trump issued an executive order (EO) temporarily suspending entry to the US for nationals of 7 countries listed by the DHS as "Countries of Concern", and temporarily suspending the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program.

The State of Washington sued to block the EO.

The lower court judge issued a temporary restraining order blocking the EO and Trump appealed.

Now these 97 tech companies are sharing their opinion with the appellate court:

> The Order represents a significant departure from the principles of fairness and predictability that have governed the immigration system of the United States for more than fifty years—and the Order inflicts significant harm on American business, innovation, and growth as a result. The Order makes it more difficult and expensive for U.S. companies to recruit, hire, and retain some of the world’s best employees. It disrupts ongoing business operations. And it threatens companies’ ability to attract talent, business, and investment to the United States.
That comes with all the additional requirements of a technological solution - power, maintenance, reliability etc. A simple barrier will continue to work even after the local kids have tagged it.

If anything, Linux may benefit from relatively varied installation states in security scheme (SELinux, Apparmor, etc.), libraries included, and desktop environment. It is perhaps bit harder to pull off one-size fit-all attacks.

Things like data at rest protection seems to work better on Linux; as far as I know, there aren't out of box solution for Pre-boot authentication for Windows, for instance.

Edit: To the latter point, it looks like BitLocker has the mode to allow that, if you have Professional/Enterprise with TPM...
My field of interest is censorship resistant systems. Systems like ZeroNet[1] are quite fascinating and are quickly becoming popular and used. Essentially they're decentralized via the bittorrent network. One cool thing that it brings to the table is the idea of having users modify a website (similar to how your comment modifies this page) - which is a hard problem in a decentralized system. They have come up with an interesting way for users to do this using trusted third-party certifying systems which are still totally decentralized (because users can switch to others when they see fit).

The problem is simpler than that: capitalism optimizes for resource allocation, while humans care about more than resources.

It is important to decouple distributions from Linux itself. Some distributions do not place security as their top-most priority, but rather ease of use.

Then, there is no "one" Linux desktop. You have different X servers, different window managers, different desktop environments...

In Windows there's only one of everything, the configuration is less flexible in terms of what things you can disable, and once something is vulnerable that's it.

e.g: Vulnerability in fonts being rendered on the kernel? What can you do about it exactly? Nothing but to wait for updates... but then the Flame malware installed itself via Windows Update. It's fantastic.

Any language where the X thing is managed by a garbage collector (and you cannot manually delete it anyways) is just as safe as Rust. What only Rust can do is to check your manually memory-managed stuff for correctness (conservatively).

If your body had enough sleep that night (6 hours, uninterrupted) and you aren't sick or otherwise stressed, then yes, power through.

Getting sleepy is your brain telling you to preserve energy. Only sometimes it does that because something about the work itself bores, infuriates, disgusts, or otherwise upsets you.

That means getting "procrastination-sleepy" is your brain trying to prevent spending energy on the miniature emotional turmoil "breaking procrastination".

This is exactly the problem. You can buy Windows 10 machine and if it becomes vulnerable it's Microsoft's fault and you would count on them to fix it immediately, push out the automatic update and go on with your life. If default Linux desktop is insecure then consumer is supposed to figure out what exactly is insecure, be expert in knowing the alternatives and how to replace everything. The question isn't whether Linux desktop can be made more secure but rather why isn't it secure by default?

I feel it's important now with IOT vulns and data/privacy security, and as a side-effect those jobs are often legally unexportable.
This is just virtue signaling against Trump by those that don't know they are being played.

None of these people and companies (and media outlets) said anything when Obama was doing much worse, such as blowing up entire countries.

Yet Trump puts into effect a temporary travel correction from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen, half of which are an open death sentence destination for Americans right now, and here we see the establishment latching on to a story, removing the facts, playing with the numbers, etc, all to accomplish its anti-Trump goals.

This is dirty politics being dressed up as morals and values.
It's interesting that the problems are all with things that I actively dislike about the modern Linux desktop. I mean, I guess it's OK that it creates thumbnails of images...but, the tendency to grind away for seconds whenever opening a big folder (Windows does it, too, I guess) is just annoying. I end up using command line most of the time for file management tasks because it's too slow and cumbersome to use the UI.

Also, it seems to be file types that would never be automatically parsed on Windows or Mac. I mean...a Nintendo music file? Why on earth would the desktop environment need to do that? (And, I say this as someone that composes chiptunes and enjoys listening to them, but I don't need my desktop environment to grok them).

And, I guess I like that Linux does things out of the box that Windows and Mac need third party apps for (much less so, today, but still a factor I notice when I reboot into Windows). But, maybe this is overkill?

And, yes, I think it's clear that Microsoft made a significant investment in security a decade or so ago, and it has paid off massively. Windows is remarkably more secure, stable, and reliable than it was a decade ago. I still prefer Linux, but the case for Linux over Windows is nowhere near as compelling and clear cut as it once was.
> For line of business apps, it is inaccessible and the safety dial is turned up too far.

For most business apps GC is better option, than other memory-management options. I'm not seeing Rust in place of Python or Java, as well. But it could be used in some speed critical pieces, where C currently used, for example.
> This "calories in, calories out" idea is dangerously wrong.

You don't see a lot of overweight people in famine prone areas. Calories out - calories in = your weight curve. That's the easy part for losing weight.

Sport does not burn a lot of calories. So it is better to cut on the intake. Which is the hard part: food can be a comfort drug which is easily available. Worse when your entourage is full of overweight people as crab mentality can set-in and they'll try to sabotage your weight loss.

Translating Shell to Oil
When this metadata indexing was introduced in gnome/kde many users complained, because it pegged their cpu and was really unasked for. But some felt that this was something the MacOSX had and therefore some developers felt it was a good default. I'm not convinced, partly because of the increased attack surface.

The desktop environment itself is but a small part of the complete desktop. Some important differences between those specific desktops are are:
1) Clicking a file both runs the code and opens the file, and difference is hidden from the user. 2) Mail clients start pretty much any software automatically to open attachments. 3) Office software runs code embedded in documents with just a user prompt. 4) A lot of plugins are active by default. Flash and ActiveX used to be, but this is better now. 5) Code is run automatically on removable media insertion. 6) Users download software from random web pages instead of vetted archives.

These things are not technical but behavioral in nature and make desktops ownable. I hope the Linux desktop never emulates them. Web browsers have gotten so much better but one simple thing they could is stop downloading things automatically. That save dialog won't scare anyone, and users will stop having lots and lots of unknown files in their download directory.
You are correct, you essentially never need to manually free memory.

The borrow checker prevents code from running at all, sometimes even if the code would be perfectly safe (e.g. two slices to non-overlapping areas of a vector).

JavaScript on the other hand is full of quirks, but you get something to work quickly, even if it's buggy.

The huge advantage that Rust has over languages like JavaScript is that if it compiles, it's almost guaranteed to run (unless you have logic errors somewhere). I think that fact is greatly under-appreciated.

To clarify, this is the leadership of those 97 companies. There is no indication whether or not that this is how the majority of their employees feel.

This is the same virtue signaling that resulted in Trump being elected in the first place. An employee of one of these companies wouldn't dare now to express their agreement with Trump's policy because it's against the company's official stance.
Can you abuse this API? Maybe! It needs to be researched before making bombastic claims. From what I can tell the API is opt-in only and there is no way to enumerate all devices.

EDIT: One way to abuse the API (keep in mind that this is a documented risk in the spec) is in case of XSS accessing devices which are already granted permissions for. For example, if your health app has access to your heart rate monitor, an XSS vector will potentially have the power to pull this information straight from the device or abuse it in some other way if the device suffers from input validation problems. The former is not such a big deal because in case of XSS it is assumed that access to private information is granted. The later is slightly more interesting but you need scale to pull an interesting exploitation. It can be done but it is limited at present IMHO.
