I'm sure if you made a (perhaps public) fuss about their lack of security in the locker rooms, they'd be willing to cancel with no penalties.
You could probably also argue that such a failure constitutes a violation of their end of the agreement, depending on the wording.
Don't be a doormat, dude.
This reads as extremely bizarre. I mean, reading the fifth amendment makes it pretty clear - no one should be compelled to witness against oneself. However, it looks like the current executive and judicial are thinking "well, those Founders were just idiots for putting such an amendment in, clearly it'd be much easier to prosecute people if we could compel them to witness against themselves, so why don't we just ignore it and put people in jail indefinitely until they agree to witness against themselves?". Terrifying that it is so easy for them to completely ignore all constitutional protections.

So, where are all the professional programmers doing blocks programming, or something like that? All visual programming is very niche. Last I got close to some was 18 years ago when working with LabView.

It's not just different. It's suboptimal. It's just not compelling. You'd need visual everything. Like visual diff, visual git, make it easy to copy visual crap between various applications. Copy visual code to a web page? Copy it to chat to send to a friend? Instead of just writing, you'd need to remember UI shortcuts/icon to insert visual crap into your codebase...

It's bleh. I clearly hate the idea. :D
This affects people from many countries, not just the seven or eight targeted initially. For example, I stay in India, and if I visit the US, I may fly via Dubai.

Which means, in turn, that I'm less likely to visit. Why take a 20-hour flight and subject myself to "extreme vetting"?

Do language​ debaters all think every human should speak one language?...
Like C, Go is a small language. Given that the creators of go like its smallness and simplicity, all those features are never going to be added to Go.

When Bjarne Stroustrup wanted to add OO features to C, he created C++, initially as a translator that output C. If someone wants to add features to Go, they can create a "Go++" to Go translator, with pattern matching, generics, tagged unions. Clearly it's guaranteed to be very popular! /s
Neil DeGrasse Tyson Explains the Strange Paradoxes of Time Travel
It's possible that the suspect wasn't thinking things through when he was hit with the search warrant. It says that he gave them his iPhone 5S password but not his Mac password, or the passwords for the hard drives. They apparently were able to get into the Mac (maybe the password was the same as his iPhone?) but not his hard drives. He is said to have "refused" to give those passwords. I suppose he gave up the ability to maintain a consistent defense when he said "No, I don't have/want to" instead of "I forgot".

I'm confused by this statement in the above ruling:

The Forensic examination also
disclosed that Doe had downloaded thousands of files known
by their “hash” values to be child pornography.

The files, however, were not on the Mac Pro, but instead had been
stored on the encrypted external hard drives. Accordingly,
the files themselves could not be accessed.

So forensic analysis of the Mac revealed that he downloaded known porn files (identifiable by the database of hashes that law enforcement uses)...but don't you need access to the actual file to be able to calculate its hash? If the files were moved to, or downloaded right to the encrypted drives, how could forensic analysis reveal the files' hash values?
This is a long rant of "what if's" that aren't relevant since the details are known.

The "what if the guy didn't do it" is what the justice system is for, attorneys and investigators sort it out.
If it's a foregone conclusion, why don't they charge him under CP laws and be done with it? Looks like it's either not as foregone as they try to present it, or they try to use it to establish a precedent (or probably both) and latch on this case because of the defendant being so unsympathetic.

If it is going to place burdensome carry on restrictions on people the US government could at least explain why the measures are necessary.

At the rate we are going, it's not going to be long before you will not be allowed to bring any carry on luggage at all when flying from certain airports. Maybe everyone should fly naked. Who knows, someone might have plastic explosives sewn into their clothes. Wait, what if someone swallows the explosives? Maybe everyone should be forced to take an emetic and get a colonoscopy before flying.
I don't recall Kansas folks trying to tell NY what to do about LGBT. That's the point I was making.

Let's see how long before this country goes back to the days of the Thirty Years War where we're even asking people if they're a Catholic or not before transacting business.

We're already there - just ask Brendan Eich, Curtis Yarvin or Donald Sterling. Companies do check social media to make sure people haven't expressed views outside the overton window, e.g. being anti-gay or anti-fat.

See also my reply to Rayiner which asks the question why people who prefer not to buy health insurance (as opposed to people who prefer sex with men) don't also get equal protection under the law. Personally I quite enjoy sectarianism - I like the transactional society, where even a Nazi can peacefully purchase a Pepe-as-Hitler cake without getting sucker punched by a cowardly masked thug. (I have no strong opinion on forcing someone to sell it to him, though I support cultural norms that would encourage it.) But most of the people I see pushing a culture war - and I admit, I've never been to Kansas - are opposed to that.
United and Delta cut their nonstops to Dubai a while back, so yes, most likely.
The self-incrimination clause was motivated by the practice of forced confessions, which were elicited by threats, indefinite detention and torture. You can get a DNA sample with a cotton swab, but it takes much worse to extract information from someone's mind.
On the plus side, it's harder to compel you to decrypt your disk if you're nowhere near it at the time.
What utter bullshit.

If they allow phones at all, then the threat cannot be an issue of a passenger sending a command out of one of these. The threat has to be the device itself.

Now, a standard issue iPad is no threat, so we're talking about a customized device made to look like on.

Except, if terrorists are going to the trouble to do this, they can just as easily put whatever bad thing they want to put into the case of an insulin pump, and bypass the ban.

This. Is. Bullshit.

Yea, the fact that it was only done after the victim revealed publicly that he suffered from epilepsy and the suspect reportedly claimed he attemped to exploit that health issue.

'Ghost plane' crashes with no sign of pilot
The Big 4 Middle East/Gulf airlines (Emirates, Etihad, Qatar, Turkish) have been giving legacy US carriers a lot of grief lately, since they're both cheaper and better on essentially all counts, so I can't help but wonder if they have their finger in the pie here. Few businessmen will opt to fly long-haul if they can't use their laptops, and they're specifically targeting 9 airlines here, not just airports or countries.

It's also beyond bizarre that the US trusts Abu Dhabi's security enough to locate its only Middle Eastern Customs/Immigration preclearance facility, but not enough to let passengers who have gone through security bring tablets...
What we did at Heroku as well as at Citus is rolled our own using the WAL logs.

We run WAL-E for all clusters and for a PITR we have the ability to restore a base backup then replay the WAL to a specific point. If this happens extremely rarely then doing this manually might absolutely work for you. For a case where it happens more frequently putting in more automation around it can absolutely make sense.

> This is about getting around the illegality of the Muslim ban without banning any persons or groups.

This was my first thought until I saw a Saudi airport on the list of originating airports that will be impacted by the ban. Trump avoided listing any countries where he had business connections with in his ban orders, so I'm more likely to believe this is the result of actionable intelligence than xenophobia/Islamophobia-related bullshit.

Still, I could be wrong and it could just be the current administration keeping on their anti-Islam crusade.
The prosecution would say that he frequently accessed the computer (which they could prove with forensic analysis) and argue it unlikely that he forgot his passphrase. The judge would accept that argument.

It's scary to me because I've forgotten my encryption passphrases more than once, and I'm highly-educated.
Istanbul Atatürk has a security check to get into the airport. Guess what, the terrorists simply attacked the people in line at the first security check!
Show HN: Uselio – Simple, powerful user feedback
Hey HN. Just wanted to share something I built in a few weekends. I guess this is more geared towards product/marketers, but we've built it to be very developer friendly.

Uselio is dirt simple and powerful user feedback that you can hook into any interaction or feature on your website (rather than just leaving it on the bottom of every page). Plug it into a few features and you can see exactly how users are responding to every feature, as well as the overall NPS/CPAS of your App.

Let me know your thoughts. :) It's still buggy, but it works! Happy to offer a 25% discount to all of you... just message me in-app or here.

EDIT:

Lots of comments here seem to think this should be unexpected or is a bug. Closing a FD you are using is a bug. I think epoll does a fairly good job of letting the user know that it is watching the description and not the descriptor. Failing to read the man page for dup would also leave you in a blind spot. I have been writing code for linux a while now and I did not think it was any secret that a file is still open until all of the fds pointing to it are closed. That is why you have to take care and close your duplicated fds at the right time otherwise you will end up with file handles leaking. The example code provided illustrates this perfectly.

As a side note using dup2 to get your original FD passed to epoll associated with the still open description from the duped fd should allow you to remove it.
and then the mega city dwellers look down upon those of us that grew up in rural areas as "flyover states" and "rednecks." They might be surprised to see how environmentally conscious a lot of the "rednecks" and hunters/fisherman/etc actually are.
> Forensic examination also disclosed that Doe [Rawls] had downloaded thousands of files known by their "hash" values to be child pornography. The files, however, were not on the Mac Pro, but instead had been stored on the encrypted external hard drives. Accordingly, the files themselves could not be accessed.

He was running a Freenet node. Investigators were also running Freenet nodes, which peered with his. The were using a tweaked Freenet client that logs lots of stuff. So they know that chunks of child porn files went to his node. What they arguably don't know is whether he requested them, or merely relayed requests from other peers. But they have experts who will bullshit convincingly enough about that.

Edit: The Freenet Project, in my opinion, has irresponsibly relied on "plausible deniability".
Thanks for bringing these points up j2kun.

I'm a junior faculty working in ML with no personal knowledge of web development, d3, etc. While the papers currently on Distill are absolutely gorgeous and will be an invaluable tool for learning advanced ML concepts, I simply cannot see myself or my students putting the time to actually create something like that.

Unless a student is especially adept at the specific tools needed to create these and especially enthusiastic at using them, I will actively discourage them from doing it. The time needed is simply not worth it right now.

I would be happy and grateful if tools for creating these articles become easier to learn and use eventually, such that even the lower-budget, time-constrained researchers could afford to create them.
How about the $5 DMV test? There's a bunch more people there, and they're all bored stiff!
I'm assuming the files were downloaded using Bittorrent or some other file sharing service, and the hashes of the downloaded files were logged on his Mac.
I am implying that this is rediculous, and that spending any significant resources to pursue this should be criminal. I'm saying that unless they have a confession from the defendant that he was trying to kill this guy, or his diary dictating that, which they should include in the story were that the case, then this is just stupid. The presidence this case might set forth is terrifying. It provides a never before seen limitless weaponization of the justice system, which will be abused by those without morals, those who have a lot to lose, and those with more $ to attack anyone they like. Any halfway smart kid can use this image attack with zero risk of being caught, so clearly the safety mechanisms and protections need to be on the victims end.
Thanks! I did stretch out alittle at a meetup I regularly attend and dropped the word and I got passed the word about a job offer, so it seems to be paying off.

You are apparently unfamiliar with the concept of 'intent' in criminal law. This was a message targeted at an individual with specific intent to cause seizures. All your hypotheticals have no basis in fact.

No, it is on HN because enough people found it interesting to warrant discussion of this actual case. Fantasy need not enter the discussion unless it bears some connection to reality, making stuff up out of whole cloth is not going to further the discussion in a meaningful way, no matter how long you make your walls of text.

You must have missed the bit in the article where the defendant actually indicated he did just that, and in writing no less.
This is an interesting contrast to the article reported this past week about Nigel Lang, a black man in the UK who was accused of having or sharing child porn because of an extra digit added to an IP address during investigations[1].

One relevant section from the apology/explanation letter: "The issues around the downloading of IIOC [indecent images of children] are that statistically out of a cohort of offenders, the predominant characteristic is that the offence will be committed in the main by white males. Only a very small percentage will be black, around 3%, and only around 2% will be female. Consequently, any arrests that are made for this offence will revolve around the male in the address as the starting point for the investigation."

Notably Rawls (the man indefinitely jailed) is black.
