TZ may be set like this:

TZ=:Europe/Copenhagen

Replace Europe/Copenhagen with the appropriate entry from the list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones

Usually, /etc/localtime is a symlink, as on my laptop:

/etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Copenhagen

so TZ=:/etc/localtime has the same result.

You can demonstrate that it takes account of changes to timezones:

Normal time for London:

$ TZ=:Europe/London date -d '1995-12-30 12:00 UTC' -R
Sat, 30 Dec 1995 12:00:00 +0000

British Summer Time:

$ TZ=:Europe/London date -d '1995-06-30 12:00 UTC' -R
Fri, 30 Jun 1995 13:00:00 +0100

'Double British Summer Time', used for a period during World War 2:

$ TZ=:Europe/London date -d '1945-06-30 12:00 UTC' -R
Sat, 30 Jun 1945 14:00:00 +0200

Before London's time was standardized to Greenwich:

$ TZ=:Europe/London date -d '1845-06-30 12:00 UTC' -R
Mon, 30 Jun 1845 11:58:45 -0001
That's an interesting point and likely correct.

The story I gave here was told to me way back in the day by RG himself, although the real reason R uses `<-` is "because that's what S does" and it's possible that the reason he was given wasn't 100% correct itself.

These are mainly just social norms. I guess I never considered that as "censorship".

"You can't say Merry Christmas."

First off... yes you can. However, Why would you assume a large group of people in a public setting outside of a Christian context would all want to be wished a Merry Christmas...seems unlikely to me.

"You can't say you understand homosexuality to be a disorder."

Again.. you can say that, However you would be factually incorrect.
Mental disorders are "disorders" because of the negative impacts caused in the sufferer's life.. What has been shown to be the negative impacts of homosexuality?

"You can't call a man "he" if he identifies as a "she"."

You can call anyone anything you like... what you don't have control over is how they feel in reaction. Assuming you identify as a man.. how would you receive someone that always referred to you as a female, and I mean always not just as a one-off joke type thing. I'm going to take a guess that you would feel worse than "censored".
What you did doesn't sound like MITM/TLS interception.

Assuming you meant you set those environment variables for your applications, then that wasn't mitm. It was application-level supported proxying.

Those are totally different things.
I believe it want's access to media files and photos to allow the newer download for offline playback functionality.
I still find it ironic that Republicans, who are very keen on the notion of individual responsibility in general, seem so shy about taking responsibility for what they voted for. It's not like he hid his big bag of -isms during the campaign.
Anything involving tagging content, or changing the incentives of publishers and posters could be a nice third option. Of course there is no single answer, that would just be turning a false dichotomy into a false trichotomy.

As an analogy, a city might think unhealthy soda is causing problems for its inhabitants. Saying "not our job" would be the status quo. A nanny state would ban sales of soda. Requiring clearly displayed nutrition facts would be one of many "third options" in between these extremes. Other options could involve a new tax, or subsidizing healthier drinks, or asking schools to cover the topic in health classes, or producing a series of public service ads, etc. etc. There's a whole continuum of potential actions.
UX/UI Design Process of a Companion App for a Sports Smart Watch
People respond with long lists of facts, but do not bother to reason about them or put them in context, instead presuming that there is only one way to interpret the facts - the way that supports their preferred narrative.

And keep in mind that there is a difference between fact and "fact". It is a fact that a scientific instrument recorded a certain value or that a particular person voiced a particular opinion. Everything beyond that - that the instrument is working as intended, that the person's memory and reasoning and honesty can be trusted, that the data point is representative of similar situations, that it is at all relevant to the question at hand - has some amount of uncertainty associated with it.
The vaccination that provides herd immunity from viral nonsense is instruction in critical thinking skills.

The treatment for misinformation and disinformation is genuine, accurate information.

Censorship and regulation of information is absolutely the wrong way to handle it. If you ever grant any government the power to be final arbiter over what truth is, you deserve what will surely happen to you next.
Right, but the USA has a 4.7 unemployment rate, which is one of the lowest in the world and a far cry from the 100% unemployment futurists keep claiming will happen 'any year now.' Jobs continue to exist, continue to be created, etc. This stuff is a lot more complex than "automation will eat jobs." If anything, automation has created vastly more jobs than anyone thought possible due to a variety of factors not the least of which is a shift to IT/technical trades, service-based trades, and the massive amount of human power you need to run a competitive bureaucracy to run those factories and services.

Then all that excess money from 'decent' jobs goes towards more goods and services that otherwise wouldn't be possible. I mean, people casually blow $300+ on a robot vacuum cleaner or $600+ on a phone. And now you have more jobs in industries no one predicted possible 30 years ago and so on.

Not to mention, generally, the more competitive the industry the most staffing it needs. I'm sure there's some rule named after someone about this, but hot industries go on hiring sprees and when your economy is as innovative and wealthy as the US's that translates into a high demand for qualified candidates. That offsets a lot of job loss in dying sectors.
The Wörgl Experiment
It's not, "Liberals are mean."

It's, "Leftists often dismiss diversity of thought with personal slurs."

To the left, virtually every opponent is a sexist, islamophobic, xenophobic, homophobic, intolerant, racist bigot.

This tactic, along with identity politics, are prime reasons why so many people voted for the current President of the United States.

In particular, there are many settings that mention security, encryption, and certificates. It's unclear what combinations are sensible, supported, or necessary.
TZs should be defined in the form "Europe/London", "Asia/Beirut", "Pacific/Auckland", etc.

Although the hour offset can change at extremely short notice (e.g. discontinuing Daylight Savings during Ramadan [1]), the timezone declaration (e.g. "Africa/Casablanca"), shouldn't need to change, just the underlying timezone database.

We already have this, it is called a CS degree.
Google left a sour taste in my mouth after my first interview there. Recruiter was a mess. I had one phone interview with no coding questions. My resume could not be more clear that my best language was Python. Yet, every single question they said "use C, C++ or Java." It was very awkward and intimidating because although I knew those languages, I wasn't confident with them and the recruiter already knew this.
Company towns were commonplace, especially near mines in the US in the late 19th-early 20th century. Workers were paid in company scrip that could only be spent at the company store. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Company_town
So what are they getting for their money? If the business owners had it their way the US Presidential election would be a race between Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton. Both were given huge sums of corporate donations and neither one has anything to show for it.

My impression is that the convention is a ! suffix means both that

1) There's another, similar, method without the suffix.

2) The ! version has some side effect (usually mutating something or throwing an exception) that the non-! doesn't, which doesn't mean that the non-! has no side effects (`ApplicationRecord#save` and `#save!` both have side effects, but only `#save!` throws on failure).

I'm glad I was able to come across civilly. I'm at the limit of my patience on this topic with people who on the one hand claim that the freedom of the press to speculate wildly about Russian hooker piss is "vital to the functioning of our Democracy," while at the same time claiming that the Pizzagate rumors are "undermining the foundations of the Republic."

You're right, I do see censorship as categorically a bad thing and not worth exploring. I think if you did manage to create some sort of light-touch, objective, fact-based system of fake news suppression it'd be hijacked by ideologues faster than you could believe. But that's a place we can agree to disagree.
It's spot-on to me as well. What Buckley accurately described in 1950s universities and media has become mainstream today.

Yeah, there are other solutions, such as allocating an array of 26 letters (ignoring accents) and using that to count, but sorting is easy and is generally fast enough.
The basic point of discussion here is really what is optimific with respect to what I'll term 'information paternalism'. Where do we draw the line between people's responsibility to educate themselves, and the responsibility of corporations (especially "the media") to feed them reliable information?

Ditto "fake news", ditto Twitter disinfo hysteria, ditto any source of information, especially online. At some point the people have to take responsibility for, and validate themselves, what they read and believe.

Curious why not just ask her or even why get involved at all since it's not an area of immediate and direct deep expertise?

Laptops differ in their tradeoffs and better and worse sets of tradeoffs vary by individual. I love the Dell Precision M7510 I currently have and I loved the Thinkpad X series it replaced as my daily driver and between them are two very very different sets of tradeoffs.

I hear Goldman Sachs does pretty well at it.
I take it one step further: the email address on my resume is a black hole. Its only purpose is to feed an autoresponder who kicks back a warm, generic, email thanking the recruiter for their time, acknowledging they have a difficult job, and lays out my requirements for any position: what I am and am not interested in doing, my salary/hourly/per-project requirements, my location requirements (100% remote), etc. At the bottom, there's another email alias along the lines of 'yesireallydidreadthisgiganticemail2017@mydomain.com' that goes straight to me. I ask the recruiters to not email that address unless they've read the whole thing, and their position matches my requirements. I get 200+ emails to the catch-all autoresponder a month, and maybe 1 (qualified!) reply to the 'its really me' alias every six months. About once a month, I get an email to the 'its really me' alias from a recruiter expressing joy, amusement, and thanks for spelling out what I'm looking for so early in the process. All in all, it's a far more pleasant way to go about passively searching for The Next Big Role(tm).
Do you have any evidence to back up the outrageous claim that the rioters at Berkely weren't primarily its student body? Or is that just what you heard on CNN and chose to believe unquestioningly?
This is related to employees only right? I would have thought a large company like Netflix is using something like G Suite and therefore can just use Google Apps Device Policy to simply enforce the best security settings (6 digit code, software updates and so on) on Android devices. And I bet there is something comparable for iOS devices isn't it?

> it's that very fatigue which seems to be one of the factors which drove people to vote for a truly awful leader.

I don't understand this reasoning. Why would someone who hates being unfairly called a bigot go and vote for a bigot? If I hated it when people called me a socialist, I wouldn't vote for Bernie Sanders!

What seems more likely is that bigotry is fairly common and a lot of people are bigoted in ways they don't necessarily realize.
> if you know what you're doing

And if you don't, it's potentially much worse security. If your device is rooted, that's an attack vector that didn't previously exist. Since this tool is about informing and not enforcing, then if you really do know what you're doing then you can choose to take no action. If, however, you're not aware of the risks rooting a device exposes you too, then the tool provides an opportunity to learn that.

Further, this tool wasn't made with protecting an individual so much as protecting an organization. Yeah, you know what you're doing, but are you willing to bet your organization's security on that being true for everyone now and in the future? One compromised device can be all it takes for an attacker to get in. Not everyone who roots really knows what they're doing, it's very easy to root some phones, a quick download on a PC, run an app, click a button, and tada! Also, what about the non-techie person that asks their tech-savvy friend to root because they want to be able to <any single one of the things rooting allows>? Do you trust the judgement of every person tech-savvy enough to do this to never root another's phone without them really understanding the consequences?

There is no valid TLS MITM. All attempts at TLS MITM break TLS in some way -- very commonly with TLS client certificates.

Edit: You're only proxying the encrypted data and not trying to do a MITM, so this doesn't break TLS, but it doesn't do a MITM. I added this complaint as a more general statement at the top-level of comments.
That's fair, but it sounds like you're running an older Android version? In this case, your blame should lie with Google's old permissions model being not-fined-grained enough rather than at anger with Netflix over the permissions. Given the constraints on making the app, in order to satisfy you (no new permissions) they would have to halt feature development for things that customers demand, like offline play.

You can upgrade your Android version possibly, to find that the Netflix app will not require those permissions if you install it.
The Pax Mongolica[1] was actually a great heydey of trade and travel across Eurasia.

The part about her helping her husband prey on women has at least some truth to it. There's no shortage of women over the decades who have accused Bill Clinton of sexual assault; I think it's rather silly to claim that Billy is completely innocent. So just as with any rapist, a woman who insists on staying married to such a man and backing him up in public can be seen as "enabling" him.

Honestly, I don't think all this anti-Hillary stuff is unfair either. There's no shortage of Democrat politicians who do NOT have all the baggage that either Bill or Hillary have accumulated over the years. What kind of dirt does anyone have on Al Gore, for instance? Conservatives might disagree about his environmental claims, and some people might still be mad about his ex-wife's record lyrics labeling campaign (but he and Tipper got divorced some time ago, so I think it's unfair to hold him to that now), but that's about it. I've certainly never heard of him sexually assaulting women. And I can say the same about most Democratic politicians, famous or not. So why did the DNC insist on picking a candidate with so much baggage? They're really the ones to blame for losing this election.
What gave you the idea that the anarchist vandals who dress up in masks and smash stuff are Berkeley students, or that they have any personal animosity towards whatever speaker vs. just liking the chaos.

These are pretty much the real-world version of 4-chan trolls. It’s a mistake to associate them with any other group, or to assign them a coherent political ideology.

They’re a constant thorn in the side of left-leaning groups in the East Bay, who pretty much all wish they would go away. They show up uninvited to non-violent events and make a ruckus, helping nobody.
The sandbox has been good in that it hasn't let the Windows model of apps running rampant with admin privileges do whatever they want with your data. It's mostly prevented cross-app data access.

But that's not where it stops. You see, there's still plenty of great data they can grab when you blindly click accept on that permissions dialog. Contacts are grabbed by many applications, unique device identifiers, loading your app with ads, even grabbing GPS location are pretty much standard practice now.

These practices which used to be labeled spyware or adware and hunted down and removed are now the norm.

These apps grab this data and then throw it out onto the open internet, often over unencrypted connections to parties who you don't know or trust, who are often unrelated to the app developer almost entirely, most often just so some advertiser knows you play a certain game or live in a certain city.

It depends on your definition of security - if it's strictly clicking on an ad and getting malware - it's great - but if it includes things like leaking contacts, locations and identifying information - it's terrible. XPrivacy is the only solution I've seen to really hit back at it.

Rooting your device does NOT immediately lose all sandbox benefits. It only selectively bypasses it. If you don't approve EvilMalware to bypass the sandbox - it still can't break out.

As for Android Pay? Go ahead and use it. Rooted or not, to my understanding, you're not liable for fraud on it, your credit card company will still reverse transactions no problem.
I think we're agreeing with each other. Recruiters are needed if the job does not fill itself naturally, and a job will tend to get the candidate flow it deserves.

If there's an awesome job available out there, with way above average pay, benefits, great opportunities for advancement, good work/life balance, etc., you'll fill it with a top talent. You're not going to need a recruiter. Word will get around even to people who are not actively looking, trust me. Similarly, if you have an "average pay for an average worker" kind of job, you'll find that average worker.

When you have a ho-hum average job but you want top talent, then you're going to need that recruiter because the job needs to be actively sold.

I invite anyone who works at a company that pays 3X average salaries or is well known for being an unbelievably great place to work to reply and tell me they have trouble hiring.

Great, I look forward to reading your peer reviewed papers.

Do you have a published climate model I I can run through its paces?

Until you do, all your protestations that you have 'evidence' for your beliefs are bullshit, in the technical sense of the term.
I would like to point out that "censorship" is, strictly speaking, an instruments only governments can employ.

So, we're talking about government regulation of speech. And that already exists, for good reason. Incitement to violence, threats of violence, defamation, child pornography are all instances of it.

All of those regulations exist because the damage done to society by these forms of speech has been deemed outweighing the benefits to society that would result from inclusion of it.

If that is true for fake news is arguable. I happen to believe it is, you seem to think the right to speech outweighs the damage.

But I'm not sure if that's what we're talking about here. Are you arguing that the value of being able to have fake speech outweighs the damage it does, or are you arguing that all forms of speech, including the currently outlawed ones, should be free and no restrictions whatsoever should apply?

Related, the question of a "censorship apparatus" is also open to interpretation - we're settling current restrictions mostly through courts & law enforcement. I would guess the answer if you consider that a censorship apparatus is influenced by what you think about current speech regulations.
Everyone would love to hire Linus Torvalds for that matter

Torvalds is very lucky to have found his niche because he is unemployable - the first sweary rant at a teammate and he'd be shown the door. Well except maybe at Uber.
You are taking a much too narrow view of "specialization". If project foo is really the only project at Google that uses the skills I like and know best, I am probably not going to apply there.

I get that there are people who don't care (much) what kind of code they are working on. If those are the people Google exclusively wants, that's fine. I just won't have a place there. I do not think this is a generally-advisable strategy, though, as the GGP I was responding to indicated. In fact, I'd argue that well-crafted teams of specialists are superior to, but harder to staff than, teams of generalists.
I honestly don't think much about demographics either place. Maybe that's because I'm the majority (I think) in both places; I don't know. It doesn't enter my calculus.

San Francisco is generally more accepting of almost everything, and I love that, but when it comes to political ideology I ironically find it intense, unaccepting and extreme. It feels like anything goes in SF, so long as you're not on the right politically. (I don't even consider myself super duper on the right, just not allll the way on the left)
It's literally what's happening now too. Unless you think that, for example, Mr. Thomas F. Frist Jr., the largest individual shareholder of HCA, is personally providing healthcare to people.
