I found this video a few days ago on reddit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWxm-bxgP9g

One thing that I found intriguing as an engineer is that Ertogan's bodyguards etc are trying to shout louder than the protesters.

At first I thought ok thats natural, 2 parties have a disagreement and then each tries to be louder.

The sound from Ertogan's trained personnel thought isn't exactly an argument. You'll hear through the whole video the sound : 'EEEEEEEEEE' coming up from his bodyguards which is definitely not argument, just a way to mask protesters voice.

So to conclude my point, is that Ertogan has trained soldiers trying to shout louder than the protesters so he won't hear anything bad about him.
Pretty much the same he is doing to his country by blocking wikipedia etc.

I can only think of one other person that would do such a thing, Kim.
> postmarketOS is a GNU/Linux distribution, so there's no problem in having multiple phone interfaces (just like KDE/Gnome/XFCE/...) and let the user choose.

IMO, there is a big problem with that. The WHOLE reason the smartphone space finally took off was because Apple came in and rationalized the interaction model and implemented a robust, responsive UI. Android is successful largely to the extent it faithfully aped that model. Treating this as a secondary thing your project doesn't need to be opinionated on is a recipe for failure.
They competing for talent who expect all of those perks as standard. It's a smart move.

I read the Share Lab metadata report, based on an examination of the metadata in the headers of the emails exchanged between Hacking Team members. The level of detail this provides on the network and on the individual members of the team is extraordinary. Now in the case of Facebook, imagine that times 100, then add AI to slice and dice the data better than a team of the world's top 1000 data scientists working on the analysis of some tiny portion of the data for some particular purpose, for a year... Just one consequence: think of what Facebook and Google have on every politician in the United States, in the world.
That reminds me of the Halloween Memos and Stephenson's "In the Beginning was the Commandline". The MS writer dabbles a little in this new 'open source' thing and reports back that he's astonished he can just open a bug! And even submit a patch! Even as a professional Windows user he admits being a little seduced by it. And Stephenson notes the contrast between the Debian bugtracking system and MS Windows's opacity.
My choice of stability test is Intel Linpack, although it probably doesn't work so well on AMD CPUs; and my rule is that a system which can't survive at least 24h of Linpack is not stable --- I've seen systems fail it with stock voltages and frequencies.

I used to overclock, but stopped after realising the errors that occurred with Linpack; it really made me appreciate the fact that a CPU could miscalculate, and a system that appears "stable" can actually be silently corrupting data.

It's because EVs only work for a subset of driving needs (local commutes).

If you need to drive long distances, even occasionally, you either need to own another car, or rent one. Either is at best suboptimal compared to owning one car that can do it all.

When I can own an EV that will go 300-400 miles per charge and can be recharged in 5 minutes at any corner "station" I will think about it.
On the other hand, whatever brings power away from large telecoms is good for all of us, even it means integration with Google makes calling simpler and easier.
I like the ambition. I've had a tinfoil-hat theory for a while that phone hardware is only built to last roughly 1.5 - 2 years gnerally before they physically begin to degrade. I've flashed new roms to a Galaxy S3 but it tended to reboot (i.e. hard crash) a lot still.
I think everyone is misunderstanding the complaint. Google does not link phone numbers to accounts based on being added to he same contact. The poster is just complaining that it shows the photo from his Google profile (attached the the email his friend already knows) and shows that when he calls from his phone number (that his friend also already knows and added to the same contact).

Drivers deal with having the sun shining in their eye using sunshades, visors and a whole raft of movement tricks to avoid having their retinas burned out. A passive sensor (which is where we're headed) has no protection at all, it just sits where while it is being fried.

It's true that the sun low near the horizon at sunup or sundown, especially on clear winter days causes accidents but I'm not all that sure whether or not LIDAR will do better here than humans. Time will tell.
Nope, the murder rate in Chicago now is still lower than it was for most of the late 70s and the early 90s.
I would agree, but I would also say that they should err on the side of caution. Don't see all of these posts and just call the next release 3.0. Do an absolute thorough round of testing. Be sure that it is stable. Then bring it out of "beta".

As bad as breaking the beta would be, releasing a product after such a long beta period that isn't completely stable would be worse.

All that said, Sublime is easily the most stable piece of software I use on a daily basis. I prefer JetBrains IDEs for daily coding, but still do plenty of work in ST3 and have customized the heck out of it to fit my needs almost perfectly. I'd be very much surprised if it wasn't ready to exit beta today

The media are equally culpable in giving platforms to all kinds of entities that we'd be better off without. At some point the media is going to have to hold themselves accountable, it will be an interesting exercise in introspection. They are definitely not just innocent bystanders who dispassionately report the news, they make the news and determine how much a platform all kinds of undesirables get based on the simple math of eyballs and advertising dollars. They are an essential part of the feedback loop.

I think the problem with these cooked meal services is scale. It is very hard to scale these operations across multiple cities. The margins just aren't there for the layers of complexity and management. They are better off as small businesses, just like a restaurant franchise model.

I have used a couple of them in Kansas City over the last 5 years. Before this was even a craze. Success Meals and Healthy Meals. Both were fantastic and neither needed to raise $50 million dollars to do it.
India and China the largest growth market for passenger cars and vehicles in general are pushing for electric cars.
Blue Apron must have much higher margins too. I think that is the key. Delivering cooked food every day requires a lot of labor and complexity.
PR 101: announce bad news on Friday. Fewer people will hear about it.

Bollocks. You can't stop a lone wolf attack, in fact you apparently can't stop an attack where a fair number of people are involved in the preparation.

Terrorists simply shift their attacks to the simplest form that still works and could not care less about those that get caught, they are the equivalent of probes to determine what works and what does not, they were expendable, whether they succeed or not is not relevant as long as some of them do succeed. The conclusion seems to be that low tech attacks carried out by a minimum number of people against soft targets have the highest chance to succeed.

Open societies are by definition incapable of stopping terrorist attacks in a direct way. Any idiot with a driving license (or even without) can be instructed in how to turn a lorry or even a regular car into a weapon.

The internet enables effective command and control and the media helpfully increase the apparent magnitude and effectiveness of an attack.
I haven't given Atom a good chance since the beginning of the year, but startup was noticeably slower for me. I often use it to read/modify extremely large JSON files (tens of thousands of lines) and Atom struggled to render that. I also frequently have dozens of tabs open and Atom seemed to slow down with that many open. I've had 50+ open in Sublime before with no issue.

All that said, Sublime is not my daily driver. I use JetBrains products for that. I mostly use it to jot down notes that will eventually be transferred somewhere more permanent, temp access tokens for APIs, small snippets, JSON files, Mardown files, etc. If my main use with ST3 wasn't frequently opening and closing it, relying on its great performance when opened with my actual IDE(s), and abusing its second-to-none ability to keep files saved without actually saving them to disk, I may feel differently.

I was a huge fan of Tilt and used them for multiple campaigns (mostly social fundraising things, like if a bunch of my friends were going camping we'd dump the bar tab on there, and it was fantastic for burning man camp fundraising).

I have to say I'm super disappointed in Airbnb buying and then destroying this company, especially with the shockingly small amount of notice. Between their new logo, their ill conceived muni advertising, the ability for their platform to facilitate racism, and their handling of this I have to wonder why they haven't hired a better marketing and PR team (or if they're just ignoring the team they have). Sometimes it seems like they actively hate their own brand.
It's more of a practical concern. Our diplomats and their details operate in places like Turkey every day and we want those governments to grant us lots of leeway when dealing with the local population. That being said, this is a spectacular display of diplomatic idiocy.

Privacy is another reason to keep the computation local.
In computer security, every time machines become fast enough to breach the limits of an algorithm we invent something new so that “hard” problems remain “hard” and therefore encryption is still secure.

There has been no corresponding increase in the difficulty of invading privacy. 30 years ago, even though you probably “could” observe somebody for a long time and eventually connect some dots about them, it would not really have been worth your while (and you certainly wouldn’t have been able to do it for thousands or millions of people). Now, it is ridiculously easy for computers to dredge up information and instantly transmit it, slog through it and basically connect every imaginable dot. There needs to be a new standard for privacy: just like you want a 2048-bit key, you want the equivalent of a “make life a pain in the ass for Facebook” key on EVERY DETAIL of your life.

The parent comment was asking about projects so I presented one that sprung to mind.

Yes, it mentions "39 files (14,032 lines) deleted" which is not small in my mind. Not to mention they heavily leveraged the standard library and some other projects like groupcache.

As far as I know no one has implemented that yet. Tesla has superchargers around the country, but those are charge based not exchange based. They give +170 miles for a 30 minute charge, so not exactly a quick stop. The size and weight of the full battery pack may make it infeasible to change quickly. A half pack or 1/4 pack may be useful, but then the car has to be standardized/designed for that and you have to worry about getting worn batteries.
Good. But Google beat them to it already.
There's a chance their customers were told earlier. I assume they'd also make an effort to reach out to people with balances as the deadline approached.

With the exception of index scaling (which as already mentioned, was added in the 68020) ModR/M and SIB is a strict subset of the 68000 addressing modes. I don't see what this has to do with the address register/data register split though. The 386 only had 8 GPRs and only 7 of those could be used as a base or index register. The reason for the address/data split is to allow 16 registers without needing 4-bit register fields.

Apart from the overly complex memory indirect modes, I'm having a hard time seeing how the 386 ModR/M and SIB setup is superior to what was in the 68020. Twice as many registers (though with usage restrictions), PC-relative addressing and a cleaner encoding. Those first two things have been fixed in x86-64 (and with generally fewer usage restrictions), but at the cost of making the encoding even worse.
>People don't care about open source and sustainability but they care a lot about not being hacked and having a phone that runs, and runs fast.

You overestimate non-technical people. They're not afraid of getting hacked, they don't understand why they should be, and they don't get why unmaintained software is bad.

People don't give a shit to the extent that the device works well. Security is of course a huge part of that but you don't understand people well enough if you think there's a significant group that will sacrifice good UX and reliability for security and rapid updates. That's what nerds like us do.

If there are enough helping hands, we could do this as a community.

The bootstrap program, pmbootstrap, is a working base component that makes development much easier (alone the automatically set up cross-compiling with distcc, ccache, armhf and native chroot), so it is definitely more than a README.md.

Also the title says, that the project is "aiming" - which does not say it has reached any of its goals yet. But at some point it needs to be announced to the community, so I might as well do that now, at a point, where other hackers could join in and parallelize development.
>It's not a free license to commit any crimes they want.

That's exactly what it is. The hosting country can ONLY just tell them they are "persona non grata". (Expel them.)

Of course, they may face charges in their home country or be extradited. Their home country can waive their diplomatic immunity - and do so for their diplomats acting criminally in other countries.

But 100% of all of these actions are on the home country. The host country can do absolutely nothing besides expel them or complain to their home country.

Let me know if you see anything to the contrary here or anywhere else online:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diplomatic_immunity
Using any sort of device -- be it a phone app that keeps track of random number seeds, or an old school blackjack computer that works via foot taps -- has been illegal for a long while. It makes things no longer a game of chance. Much like how a casino's not allowed to use weighted dice, you're not allowed to use your own probability shifters. Now, if the people that are being discussed were doing this in their head, it wouldn't be illegal. The casinos would be angry at these people, call them mean names, and probably blacklist them, but it wouldn't be a crime. It's only once you add that device to make it something other than a game of chance does it become a crime.
Bollocks. Some slip through, but vastly more attacks are stopped unless you think all of the people in prison for terrorism offences are a fiction.
