I'm European too! Can't speak to the exact ins and outs of why they have them and the history behind it, I just know that they do.
Well, it is possible to get there with a sufficiently bad attitude.
From the article:

“Despite the negative experience, we hope to have your continued support,” the rep concluded. “Your business is especially important to us and we'll do our utmost to make your future contacts with United satisfactory in every respect.”

Seems like they prefer a certain skill level of employee: low.
Yeah I went through multiple phone calls and an unpleasant store visit and mentioned the people online and they did jack all for me. They want $249 and that's that. They didn't care about my 6 figures of lifetime Apple purchases.
Just so you Servo folks know, we appreciate the plan of shipping components incrementally in Firefox, and realize the necessity, and how big a project building a whole browser is…

…and yet…

…I think you know we're all waiting for Servo itself to be usable as our main browser :-) Good luck!

Empowering local service reps often leads to worse things. The cases where a Muslim passenger or whatever was forced to leave because another passenger complained wasn't written into any policy, it was the result of local crew exercising their discretion.

As a western person, the lack of invasive checks and procedures etc in Asia (live Japan, have travelled PRC HK Indonesia and Malaysia) was an eye opener for me.

In every case the security involved an X-ray for luggage and walking thru a metal detector. That was it.

Australia in 2014 otoh was nuts. I was taken aside and magic wanded at one airport, subject to a personal body scan (???) and patdown at another, and interrogated on my way out (apparently "company employee" was not an adequate description of my occupation).

Combined with other security theater like police leading dogs around at the gate, it made me not want to visit there again. It was scary!
If you are rooted, you can easily copy the sqlite database that secrets are stored in. I've done this a few times to migrate secrets to a new phone.
> Every ingestion of food or liquid affects your body and needs to be considered.

You know, it's funny. I've had Type 1 Diabetes since I was 13, more than 15 years ago. I just can't imagine what it's like to not think about everything you eat. I have to do several math equations every time I eat just to survive. At this point it's just a part of eating, there is no alternative. The idea of eating a donut and not worrying about feeling like shit for the next two hours is totally foreign to me.

I always say, if you want to monitor your food intake, just become a Type 1 Diabetic. You will consider everything you eat :)
Interesting how the western world is facing the reversal of the trend of egalitarianism that rose up in the 20th century. It seems like just a century ago we had movements all over the world that strived for equality and now the tide has turned.

The US that used to be on the forefront of defence of personal liberty is now largely lagging behind Europe and I would say even moving in the other direction. Even from the progressive movements of feminism and racial equality we can now at times hear voices arguing FOR segregation. Pretty depressive, eh?
HR at most companies is filled with people who are too terrible at anything else, so they get shoved into HR. This situation above (at a telecom turned business service provider) is a very common problem -- especially at companies with a large consumer-facing presence.

Because these companies need to hire large volumes of low-skilled workers, they implement rigid HR policies and procedures to streamline the process. Those workers make up probably 95% of their hiring volume -- turnover is high and there are tons of positions available.

These companies fall flat on their fucking face when they try to hire skilled workers. The same processes that make them efficient and streamlined at hiring call center reps make them fucking terrible at skilled labor hiring. They use low-skilled HR reps with zero domain knowledge to filter stuff, then HR always has to be involved in the process "because policy". End result is it takes 4 months to get a resume, interview and extend an offer to someone -- in which time, the best candidates already have started other jobs.

Meanwhile, the engineering groups need to get things done. So when Accenture comes in and says "We can get you a whole team of 50 people in India. And they can start next week." it's hard to say no. And most of the full-time people working at the company are ex-consultants themselves (because that's the only way to actually work at a lot of these companies).

Consultants are basically "shadow HR" at a lot of companies. They wouldn't be so prevalent if these companies were competent at hiring people with relevant skill.
so you're committed to nihilism then?

Well the scenario we are wanting to defend against is an attacker that can remotely (or even locally) exploit/root the phone (see long list of vulns for ios and android that have allowed exactly this). How many of these still exist not yet patched?

Depending on who you work for, someone might just burn a 0-day on you. It all depends on your threat profile.

Putting the secret in a hardware token gives you easy to reason about assurances a mobile phone OS vendor can't ever offer.

Also this means when you get a new phone, you just install app and tap key. No setup required.

Easier for you, and far more secure. Win/win.
Thanks Vitaly for your work! SEO4Ajax would certainly not exist without PhantomJS. It helped us to deliver the service efficiently at the time.

Unfortunately, we had quite a few compatibility issues with it leading us to migrate to Chrome (with xvfb) one year ago. Since then, we must confess that we are very happy of this choice. Chrome is indeed very stable, fast and more importantly for us, always up-to-date.
Well...

How many people were on that flight with you? If you have the right to go in the lounge then everyone else does, and obviously that's not going to work. In addition, the lounge is for those who pay for it, not for those whose flight gets cancelled. If I paid for it and all of a sudden the lounge is full of people because a flight got cancelled I wouldn't be happy.

It's your right to never fly United again, but I don't think the staff was unreasonable.

Also, there is no way to know if they were actually rude, or if you were rude first because they cancelled your flight and you asked in the wrong way.

> Uh huh. You're proposing creating regulation to govern thousands (or hundreds of thousands) of products globally, and you think that's easier? The closest example of a regulatory solution to a real technical problem is the EU mandate of cookie notification ... which was disruptive for everyone and insanely stupid and pointless.

I'm proposing not legislating any technical matters. Just legislate where the liability lies, make it clear who has what kind of security responsibilities and what the penalties are when they fail. Businesses are good at responding to appropriate financial incentives.
This reminds me of something coaches often said. "Practice doesn't make perfect, only perfect practice makes perfect."

Sure luck has something to do with it, but if you're learning from your mistakes & constantly improving, you're chances of success get better all the time. It's just like throwing a ball at a hoop or any other thing in life. After a while you quit making as many mistakes that lessen your chance of success.
The information is missing from the story, but is available on other write ups of the same story.

It happened on April 1st. He was offered the difference in price between the first class seat and the economy seat. That seems like poor compensation since this is basically a form of denied boarding, which involves higher compensation. Perhaps technically, since he still had a seat, it's not denied boarding, but it's certainly worth more than the fare difference.

The relevant part is that the United staff specifically said he would be put in handcuffs if he didn't comply. That's the part to me that makes this fair game to bootstrap some attention from the other incident.
I think that a large part of the flying misery has to do with airlines charging for checked bags in combination with constantly full flights. This puts the bargain shopping vacationing public in competition for overhead space with business travelers who go carry-on only.

Back in the 80s & 90s, it used to be that boarding order did not matter. You could walk up to most flights 1 minute before the door closed, and still find a space for your bag. (and you'd often get an empty seat next to you). When they started charging (and starting running more efficient, full flights), overhead space became really tight, and your boarding order (zone, whatever) suddenly became critical.

I don't see this changing anytime soon, since it mostly works to the airlines benefit. Eg, it drives membership in their frequent flyer programs and branded credit cards, as those often come with perks like earlier boarding and free checked bags. The one drawback for the airlines is the time it takes for them to turn around the plane, now that everybody is slowly looking for spots for their bags. Some airlines are now starting to offer an even lower fare class which is not allowed to use overhead space in order to allow them to turn planes around faster.

I tend to just fly first/business now so that I mostly don't have to worry about it. I rationalize it by realizing that flying is so cheap now, that a 1st class ticket costs what an economy ticket did when I was a kid (in terms of inflation adjusted money), and that economy now is essentially a new dystopian sub-class.
And besides the iTerm2 on OSX that everyone here agrees it one of the best, Terminator on Linux does a good job too.
> Who the hell ARE these people?

Americans. Seriously, authoritarianism is so deeply ingrained in American culture (right now?) that for any abuse of authority, no matter how petty, most people will argue that the problem is not the authority figure, but the person who decided not to comply with authority. I don't know exactly how this happened. But it's not just the airline industry.
I don't see the problem with this. If it is only on the church campus, why should I care? If I don't like it, just don't step foot on their campus.
Ah, global zero idea, right? Which is cool, if you believe world leaders can be trusted ... and, even if they can, that they'll trust each other.

It doesn't help that the Saudis are just one large money-transfer away from having their own nukes (the check is probably already written, just waiting to be cashed, so to speak). The Iranians are closer, and Pakistan's been there for some time. So even if the "grown ups" (USA, Russia, China, India, UK, France, Israel) can be counted on to behave themselves, the upstarts less so.

It's also an open question how well the new members of the club would be able to keep their own arsenal under lock and key. If the Middle East gets into a nuclear arms race, to protect themselves from each other, that's all the more opportunities for some enterprising jihadis.

In one sense, the presence of nukes has made large-scale war more unlikely, and taking them off the table might have the opposite effect.
Because of political pressure. Trade bans aren't issued by scientists. They don't have that power.
The receptionists were likely not United employees, they were contractors with some Sodexo-type rent-a-body company. Overworked, underpaid, why would they care about someone else's first-world problems?
That's too bad. I got my Dexcom about 18 months ago and while it's not perfect and very expensive, I really do miss it if I have to go a week without it. I can imagine having to use it on children would be pretty nasty, though. Putting the sensor in is not a fun time for a grown adult.

You have multiple kids with T1D? That's a stroke of bad luck :(
Historical accident, I think. Universities had their own security staff long before modern policing was invented. Oxbridge used to have their own MPs.
Not exactly. It's a federal crime to interfere with a flight crew.

There's a lot of room in between a contractual dispute and interference.
"isolationist nationalism" has its goals stated in its name - leave others alone while taking care of your own.

What do you want them to say? They provided, just one further comment downthread, a pretty persuasive case that a letter of concern about the carcinogenicity of glyphosate is athwart the scientific consensus. You're asking them to ignore the science, because Monsanto is a big scary company.
It's common practice for airlines overbook flights. It's low margin business. Statistically speaking few passengers will always cancel at the last minute. I don't see nothing wrong with this. It's just that United handled it wrong.

There are two economic solutions:

* They should have been raising the offered compensation until they get somebody to volunteer. Auctioning who leaves makes everybody happy.

* Another solution is reverse auction during ticket sale. Customers gives the sum for witch he or shie is willing to take later flight when they buy a ticket.
It's never been easy to get into the US though, long before Trump they've been handing out arbitrary bans or doing nonsense like extraordinary rendition to 3rd world countries not respecting dual citizenship with Canada/Europe. I suspect nothing will happen because I can't remember a time where I didn't dread crossing the border all the way back to the Bush 1.0 presidency.

There's a NAFTA tribunal held once a week at major border crossings with Can/US not many people know about that can overturn the overzealous authority of border guards if anybody receives an arbitrary ban from entry I've had to use it a few times.

As for United Airlines monopolies allow this behavior to happen because where else are you going to go. United holds 73% of slots at Newark for example
My experience with all the certified security consultants is that they refuse to put any effort to understand the end risk of a security vulnerability on the product that is being audited. For e.g. for many sites, it doesnt make sense to implement security features that are required by online banks.

As an aside question for web developers: How many web developers encrypt/checksum all fields on the client-side?
Because people don't show up for the flight.

Arlines know a certain percentage of people will miss their connection, fly standby on an earlier flight, or reschedule. Margins are so unbelievable thin (airlines make more money selling food than seats) that they want every flight to go off full. There's nothing wrong with this practice. It's efficient. The problem was how United handled it.

That said, the United flight wasn't oversold. They needed seats to transport the crew for a different flight.
Here in Asheville, NC we had a fellow who built and attempted to ride a 44 ft. (13.4m) tall bike at a festival. He did not ride far enough to make it in the record books. But it was exciting.

My wife and I just got back from a trip to Italy. The flight was full on the way there. We went from Chicago to Rome. However on the way back we flew from Venice with a stop over in Madrid back to Chicago. The plane was only 1/3 full at most. I remember commenting to my wife how empty it was.
> Linux is not a singular entity. There is no standard Linux UI. There won't ever be a standard Linux UI so that's a meaningless thing to worry about.

That's the entire problem! We have ONE standard kernel, granted with a few modifications on Android. We have one standard C library (several implementations for edge use cases). We have one standard C++ runtime (and the clang libc++ is completely compatible). On every layer of the stack we have one standard, with one standard implementation, except when you reach the top when it becomes and ungodly mess. Nothing really interoperates in a standard way. Hell, it took until 2006 IIRC to settle on one standard audio API - pulse. Before we run off to reimplement everything yet again, there should be standards of interoperability in place.

For example, why does Firefox not use the KDE open file dialog? I run KDE, I expect to get the KDE open file dialog not the GNOME one. Oh, it's because there's no standard "open a file" API call. Because every time someone reinvents the desktop, they reinvent it from the ground up without trying to interoperate. This is probably why Firefox also doesn't always obey my file associations set via Dolphin, the KDE file browser.

Yes, let's have unlimited customizability, but we need standardized interfaces for basic desktop functionality. A forest, rather than a dozen walled gardens.
Tips for Creating a Job-Winning Design Portfolio
I haven't used TypeScript extensively, but I feel that there should be more of a push (maybe there is, please correct me if I'm wrong) to introduce whatever functionality people deem worthy that exists in TypeScript and introduce it to JavaScript.

You can already see the conflict happening as some people prefer Flow and others TypeScript. Perhaps later Google will throw their hat into the ring and introduce GScript. Then, you have three different languages that introduce similar functionality, that all transpile into JavaScript.

Sound familiar?
Yubico Authenticator and cryptostick.oauth are the only open solutions I am aware of that one can easily verify don't ever expose your secret key.

Both of course assume you have the secret key on a Yubikey, Nitrokey or similar.

Any app-only TOTP solution has to expose your private key somewhere by design and thus are best avoided in favor of hardware-backed solutions when possible.

For various reasons, this is very unlikely ever to happen.

Freedom to do whacky stuff like this is unfortunately a privilege, not a right, in Alabama -- even if the law allows it. Briarwood is a ridiculously rich and well-connected church, so they might be able to make this happen.

My guess is that Briarwood will basically be held to a standard that only a very wealthy church can meet in terms of facilities, training, or something like that. These standards will effectively be a moat to prevent non-rich churches (all or most non-white non-Christian churches fall into this category) from having their own police.

That, or the legislation doesn't get passed for precisely the reasons you mentioned.
Again, 35 years is simply the figure derived by adding up all of the maximum sentences. Swartz had good legal advice. He knew he wasn't going to be sentenced to 35 years in jail.

The problems with plea agreements relate largely to innocent people being pressured into taking them because a trial is too risky. Swartz had clearly violated the law, so he would have had nothing to gain from going to trial in any jurisdiction.

See e.g. here for further analysis:

http://volokh.com/2013/01/16/the-criminal-charges-against-aa...

>... realistically, Swartz was facing anything from probation to a few years in jail if he went to trial — depending largely on how you value the loss he caused — and either a 4 months in jail or 0-6 months in jail if he pled guilty.
By the way, in the case of Dr Dao it was also not overbooking that caused him to get bumped off, but airline's assignment of lower priority to him than someone else. Just like in the parent article.

There were other misreportings as well, not to mention that some news outlets ran character assassination stories and almost nobody emphasised that Dr Dao was a senior.
