I'm not aware of the details of this particular case, but now that Google owns its own CA, it being in charge of unilaterally banning other CAs from Chrome is a massive conflict of interest.
That's the big thing about SaaS, mobile and Cloud.

I don't get that people complain about Microsoft software being closed, and anti-competitive ... well any cloud software is more closed and anticompetitive than Microsoft ever was on it's worst days : it's not that you can't get good documentation that the application you're using uses ... you can't even get at the data at all, in most cases.

Google is the best at this out of all the cloud players, but it's still abysmal. And yes, you can download exports. And there's Google takeout. Is the data there all the data Google apps use to work ? No. Quite simply, no, it isn't. There's plenty more they won't ever give to you. And that's ignoring the fact that there's 1000s of developers making apps for Google and about 5 working on takeout. Why should Google be forced ? Well, that's the standard we're applying to microsoft, isn't it ?

And this is by far the most flexible cloud provider exporting data. They're not being jerks. I don't even think they're trying to be anticompetitive. Nevertheless, they're far more anticompetitive than Microsoft.

And of course, conveniently, the DRM-breaking is now a crime on things like iTunes and Hulu and ... because it involves actually creating access into someone else's computer system or at least changing their code (even though you're paying for it to do things and only getting it to let you exercise rights granted to you by law, like copying a movie). And the result is the same. iTunes, Hulu, even Play are ridiculously expensive, idiotically restrictive (buy movie on iTunes for a trip, go to Europe, log in to hotel wifi ... no movies. But no worries ! I copied that movie onto my device first. Nope, it won't play. WTF).

Same thing goes for app stores. There Apple is the big instigator of forced-incompatibility (or otherwise: your app won't run without Apple's permission hardware). Remember the flood of articles scaring people that microsoft might do this ? They're still at it, with the BIOSes that supposedly won't run anything but windows.

The dreaded "the right to read" scenario ( https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/right-to-read.en.html ) is far, far closer on the cloud and mobile than it is on your own machines.
Sure - it's taxpayer funded crony capitalism. Money for the arms manufacturers, laundered by way of aid to another country.
Heh, I thought it was funny that I had to whitelist a google domain (ajax.googleapis.com) for the site to load :D
LE is not scalable. You can't do wildcards, and you don't want to authenticate every subdomain to LE by having it spawn a http server. You don't even want most of your stuff to face the internet to begin with.
That cuts both ways, Symantec is using their share in the certificate market to affect Google's relationship with their customers.
Could you give some scriptural references please?
Compared to Go, OCaml is unfortunately a rather large language. It has many non-orthogonal features, some of which are not used widely. The impression I get from Go programmers is that the small size of the language is one of the chief attractors.
It depends on what you mean by "economically" — if you mean cheaply, then no.
I do some mentoring, and one of my mentoring calls was with a bootcamper where the instructor, mid-"cohort", decided to switch to Angular 2 - while it was still in beta. I was able to help (I had been working with it since earliest betas) but was quick to let this student know how poorly prepared they were about to be for the job market upon "graduation".
i still use Skype, specifically Skype Lite is quite nice, so that's one option for video and chat, other option for video, chat and SMS is Signal and if neither of them works for you, you can always email me or call me

used wechat because lived in China, but uninstalled everything Chinese after leaving that place, tried Facebook messenger (later Lite) for few months until decided i don't really need to have Facebook account and anything to do with Facebook, which means i ain't gonna install WhatsApp either, so there are not many other options left
> Has he, for example, stopped assassinating random foreigners based on often iffy metadata?

There is no way you or anyone else besides those within the agencies themselves would be able to qualify on what data and for what reasons the US assassinates anybody.
No one is funding these studies, so I wouldn't hold your breath. It is down to you to decide for yourself.
As an anecdote, I switched to Haskell professionally 5 years ago and am both happier and more productive.
Caterpillar appears as snake for camouflage
the real question is why you keep using them instead of let's say Signal or Skype which can both handle video, chat and SMS, Skype even dialer
They can track your location by looking at the current cell id of you phone connection (also a much better way of identification) so what's the point of these drones?

Also there are lots of CCTV cameras at every corner for tracking people without a cell phone.
That will either be defeated with tons of sweat as it largely was in products like OpenOffice

Then why do you need open standards? Every major proprietary IM protocol has been re-implemented by open source software, including Hangouts: https://bitbucket.org/EionRobb/purple-hangouts

It might also be handled in the courts if the law includes language that specifically instructs to attempt simple, readable protocols to "facilitate interoperability.

XMPP, the thing Google is being roasted for dropping support for, is often decried as being very complex and hard to implement correctly. If genuinely open protocols often end up like this, how can you possibly punish companies for writing complex, hard to implement protocols?

Couldnt agree more. The middle class if the united states is eroding away and it finally has manifested itself in the election of donald trump -- this country is in its final death throws before descending into third world levels of inequality. And yet all anyone in silicon valley wants to do is make the next chat service. Snapchat is fucking incinsequential and stupid. Tbose people in silicon valley drive past dozens of homeless on their way to work and they dont care.
TL;DR;

The human race is becoming more stupid because thick people have more kids.

Is this news to anyone? You've just got to look around you [or to have worked in education, for any length of time!]
There are GPU enclosures with a lower price, for example the AKiTio Node for 270 dollar[1]. Since the new Macbook Pro, new GPU enclosures have been popping up everywhere.

Snapchat is worthless?

i agree with second half about SMS and email, but WhatsApp owned by Facebook is big no no and Viber isn't that popular, so i keep Signal and Skype Lite

personally i would not mind if we would use email as chat, there are already clients able to do that, it would solve lot of problems
The Lisp library ecosystem is not as organized as that for some other languages. But, quicklisp succeeded in giving a good central point and simple access to libraries. Some reasons for the situation are historic, but some result from the fact that there is not a canonical Lisp implementation as for languages like python, java or perl. The commercial Lisp implementations (and most open source ones) ship with their own set of supporting libraries, so you are less dependent on third-party libraries to get stuff done.

But to everyone who wants to get started with Lisp, I can only recommend not to focus on libraries first. Between what the language includes (especially Common Lisp), and what the implementation ships with, you should be set up to do a lot of serious programming. If there is anything, which you cannot do with the default environment and with what you cannot implement faster yourself, then its time to use quicklisp to add the missing pieces. But having written some pretty large Common Lisp programs myself, they tend to depend on only a very few external libraries.
"so you need some data structure that sticks around between frames specific to the widget type, so that's what retained mode APIs like Qt do for their widgets."

Immediate mode GUI systems are allowed to keep state around between frames and the most-featureful ones do. The "immediate mode" is just about the API between the library and the user, not about what the library is allowed to do behind the scenes. The argument that retained-mode systems are inherently better at this doesn't hold water; it is kind of an orthogonal issue.
I'm not talking about pseudo-scientific anything dude.

1.) A meat-based diet is directly linked to higher cancer rates.

"The World Health Organization has determined that dietary factors account for at least 30 percent of all cancers in Western countries and up to 20 percent in developing countries. When cancer researchers started to search for links between diet and cancer, one of the most noticeable findings was that people who avoided meat were much less likely to develop the disease. Large studies in England and Germany showed that vegetarians were about 40 percent less likely to develop cancer compared to meat eaters."

http://www.pcrm.org/health/cancer-resources/diet-cancer/fact...

2.) A meat-based diet is directly linked to clearing wild habitat for more farm animals.

"Both the meat-based average American diet and the lactoovovegetarian diet require significant quantities of nonrenewable fossil energy to produce. Thus, both food systems are not sustainable in the long term based on heavy fossil energy requirements. However, the meat-based diet requires more energy, land, and water resources than the lactoovovegetarian diet. In this limited sense, the lactoovovegetarian diet is more sustainable than the average American meat-based diet.

The major threat to future survival and to US natural resources is rapid population growth. The US population of 285 million is projected to double to 570 million in the next 70 y, which will place greater stress on the already-limited supply of energy, land, and water resources. These vital resources will have to be divided among ever greater numbers of people."

3.) U.S. eats more meat than any nation on Earth and also has the most expensive health care in the world too, 20% of the GPD. We have a society whose delusions cause diseases and destruction around the world. If I was wrong, there wouldn't be so many brilliant scientists, doctors, artists, and entrepreneurs on this same train of thought.

4.) Yoga, meditation, plant-based diet have all played a major part in creating the modern world including computers and the internet. If people don't have discernment to know true from false, that is their shortcoming and not Dharma. ;)
Yes, absolutely, and in fact I think it would be a much better program.
distortion of your ethics

It's interesting to reflect on the fact that there were many slave revolts in antiquity, but the revolting slaves did not seek to abolish slavery, they merely wanted to stop being slaves and have their own slaves. In other words, even slaves had no problem with slavery as an institution.

We also should always be aware that every serious discussion of slavery must begin with the question: what do you mean by "slavery", for the term is used in wildly different ways.
Those are rumors. Currently Internet in Kazakhstan works fine without installing any certificates. I wouldn't be surprised, if they would do it, but not yet.

And, yes, those certificates are unrelated, AFAIK.
Like APFS?
Of course it is. Are you surprised given that the US sold Saudi Arabia ~120 billion in weapons under Obama?
Everytime I try to get excited about Javascript on the server and built anything of substance, every damned module's example code is nothing but a bunch of console.logs. There's must be some magical framework I'm missing where that's a way to build apps. (Console Dot Logs on Fails?)
> If so, an audience of computer scientists would probably have understood the following better

I'm a very experienced programmer (>25 years) and I don't know the language you're using in your notation (Python maybe?). The kind of mathematical notation Lamport is using is much more universal (at least after he explains its particular peculiarities). Also, reading your notation, I assume that you're describing a list, while he's describing a set.
You are talking to someone who has done 3D rendering professionally for 21 years. What's your background?

You do realise that the argument that that site is presenting is false.

Firstly: "With TLS properly configured, DNSSEC adds nothing."

DNSSEC presents you with a valid, secure chain to know that the meta-data (encoded as TLSA) about the end-point you intend to communicate with is valid.

i.e. Grab the TLSA record for a hostname, validate the hostname (and TLSA record) via DNSSEC and then if the TLS certificate matches the details in the TLSA record you have confirmation that things are valid.

Secondly: "Securing DNS lookups isn’t a high-priority".

Then why there is a whole IETF WG dedicated to addressing it: https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/dprive/about/

Thirdly: "The real threat to CAs is “the global adversary”

i.e. organisations like the NSA, GCHQ collating everything, everywhere.

Any reasonable person could spend an afternoon - not being paid - providing a counterpoint to each item raised. None of them are (currently) relevant and the only one that is/was is actually being address in the IETF working group linked above.
It's better to call them what they are in C++, lambdas, rather than closures, in my opinion. The flexibility that proper closures provide in functional languages just cannot exist in C++ and mixing the terms freely only confuses the matter.
so now that you pretty much described Skype why people insist to keep using Google products?
Exactly as I said, like revenues outweigh costs.

But you're right that economically can mean cheaply. I ought to change it to "economically feasible" since that phrase has more connotation of revenues outweigh costs. Unfortunately I can't edit it now tho.
I already addressed those specific concerns. Wide, empty roads. Not a safety issue. Did you know that plenty of mechanics will take vehicles in far worse shape on the road, in traffic, because it's the only way to test them?

As much as I enjoyed being put on trial here, I would have preferred to actually talk about red light cameras instead. Maybe next time stick to the topic, rather than derailing a large part of a thread with self-righteous moral pedantry.
I disagree. I can understand why you think so, but an analysis of the situation will point out something different.

Google got talk working almost by accident. And it was the most feature-complete chat app for years, at least. And then, they abandoned it for years. This isn't to say it had many features, it had few. But it worked well, was integrated with gmail, was compatible with XMPP and geek's IMs, ...

After that, they killed all the compatibility before making an app that was yet again a lot more feature complete : hangouts. And hangouts got the best features for quite a while.

And then Hangouts started wildly bashing it's weight around. Forcibly taking SMS was one thing. Refusing federation. Forcing Google+ account and lots of extra info. And so on, and so forth. Hangouts was a good app, but created a lot of ill will in the process.

And then it was seemingly abandoned. Feature frozen, with the excuse that all these features had resulted in an extremely difficult to maintain app that they couldn't add features to. Chatting without having a gmail being a big one (whatsapp allowing you to chat with "everyone in your phonebook"), status, reliability (and showing clearly and timely when it isn't/cannot be reliable because disconnected, not 3h after connectivity gets restored), video call quality, adding non-gmail users or just screens to video chats, not allowing bot interaction, apps in the video chat, ...). And this lasted for years.

Inside of China, some chat apps demonstrate how chat apps can be monetized in a way that users appreciate : allow chatting with companies and give those companies the ability to show interfaces for transactions. E.g. buy a coffee. Line at starbucks ? Open up whatsapp, because you're in starbucks it shows starbucks as a contact (you can add it permanently) and there's a button "order coffee". Select what kind of buvaranicpoppafrappadongieccino you want, you pay through the app, and you've just skipped the queue. Next time you do it 5 minutes before arriving. App takes cut of transaction value (just like credit card payment does).

Next, other apps turn up. Whatsapp, Lyne, ... and so forth. And they caught up with Hangouts. Surpassing it in some ways, behind in others. Mostly they're superior in letting you find the people you can chat with. And then they passed it by. And then they left it far, far behind. It's not (yet) the case that they truly dominate hangouts in features, but it's getting close.

And lo and behold : people switched to the (sorry) better apps. I'm not entirely sure why anybody is either surprised or complaining. These changes look a lot like they're making it worse, not better, but we should give them the benefit of the doubt.
just use Messenger Lite and same goes for Skype Lite

> the notation is overly verbose and specific

That's what formal notation is like. The advantage of a formal notation is that it is both succinct and fully precise, and can, therefore, be used to perform formal proofs, possibly using a mechanical proof checker. Formal proofs are especially important in computer science, where theorems about programs are not mathematically deep but do have a lot of details that can be easily overlooked when reasoning informally. Lamport's talk was precisely about that: formal reasoning about algorithms. In that context, the ideas must not only need to be communicated so that they are intuitively or roughly understood -- as is good enough for math -- but made absolutely precise.
The successor eclipses that, but not by much (percentage-wise). According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_R._Ford-class_aircraft_..., the Gerald Ford costs $10.4 billion.

The linked PDF, however, states (http://www.gao.gov/assets/670/668986.pdf#page95):

"The Navy awarded a construction contract for CVN 78 in September 2008 when 5 of the ship's 13 critical technologies were mature and with only 65 percent of the ship's three-dimensional model complete. Since then, the lead ship's procurement costs have grown by almost 23 percent from $10.5 billion to $12.9 billion—the limit of the ship's current legislated cost cap—with four technologies still immature. The ship's critical technologies continue to experience developmental challenges, which poses risks to the ship's testing and delivery schedule. CVN 79 is also subject to a cost cap of $11.5 billion and its program office has adopted a new two-phased approach to construction to manage its costs. While this strategy may enable the Navy to meet the cost cap, it will also transfer some ship construction to the phase following delivery."

Trump might not target BLM, but I wouldn't put it past Bannon.
That 5 usd metric is just random and I just can't agree with you. Everybody has to start somewhere and considering the cost of living in South Asia, $5 per hour isn't all that bad. $5 an hour may be some kind of janitorial level income in the US, but it's not so in India, because of the foreign exchange rate difference. Of course a talented and ambitious programmer can earn much more than that amount if they seek out the opportunities. And you need more than just cs talent to discover and exploit said opportunities.

The point I was making was that companies like HCL don't care about cs talent for most of their hires anyway. They are competing for contracts which require them to show bench strength. Since it's literally impossible show 1000s of top notch engineers just sitting on their rolls jobless, they just hire whoever comes along and after a few months of "training" say shit like, "We have a million engineers just waiting hand in hand to personally work on your project". Of course they also hire some who know what they are doing, but most hires are only for appearance sake. Since if they manage to win a big contract that will easily cover for all the hires and more.

As for the workers themselves, most won't show any interest because they have no idea what impact their work is having. For example they rarely interact with clients. Their metrics for success has nothing to do with quality of work. I can't imagine workers from any culture, including Americans and Europeans, evolving into expert professionals under these conditions.
Well, of the English Wikipedia, rather.

It'd be fun if articles had links to their equivalents in other languages, with automatic translation. A problem with Wikipedia is that each language is a separate silo, which lowers the value of an universal encyclopedia.
Thoughts on my first tech talk
A closer analog to Atom is Sublime. It uses less than 50MB of RAM, and starts faster than Atom. (Myself, I've found VS Code to be a good compromise in the middle)
Would be great if you took a few minutes to improve the article then. Reducing the cultural bias of Wikipedia happens the same way as improving Wikipedia in general, one article at a time.

1. There are not any UCAVs (unmanned combat aerial vehicle) currently deployed that have capabilities close to those of current-generation fighter aircraft. That is being worked on, though not at the level I would like to see.

Current generation drones are (as far as I am aware) designed to be piloted remotely, and aren't really designed to shoot down other aircraft.

2. With missiles that can strike an enemy from beyond visual range [1], it is often argued that dogfighting is no longer important. Current generation missiles are supposed to be pretty good.

3. There are degrees of stealth, and improvements to detection systems also continue. As far as missiles go, people have generally had a hard time shooting down stealth aircraft, though it is possible.

4. Combat against other aircraft, and close air support (CAS), where the fighter is attacking ground targets. Modern jet fighters don't do a great job at CAS, with the exception of the A-10, because of operational cost (too high), speed (too high), and loiter time (too low). There have been proposals to deploy propeller-powered aircraft such as the Super Tucano for CAS, because enemy aircraft haven't been a problem in recent conflicts.

5. Probably yesterday... if you count flying patrols.

That's really not helpful.

I've read both of those and neither contains much information. But I haven't seen the news mention anything more recently. Surely we've learned something about the actual impact in two months, but the news has moved on.
