Well, for one, you can legally obtain much more detailed information on a person from any background check application currently available. So, it's arguable this has really increased the likelihood of a future crime.

"In criminal law, strict liability is liability for which mens rea (Latin for "guilty mind") does not have to be proven in relation to one or more elements comprising the actus reus (Latin for "guilty act") although intention, recklessness or knowledge may be required in relation to other elements of the offense."

Proving recklessness is harder than you think.

If data is leak because someone within a company with the appropriate level of access decides to sell out to the dark web, all the security in the world won't protect you. Should the CEO go to jail because an employee turned on the company?

Heartbleed - you could have had 100 security professional on your team, and you still would have been vulnerable. Should every CEO on the planet go to jail?

Security persons do make mistakes and leave keys in places they shouldn't, genuinely by accident. Whom is going to jail for this error? If you think you are sending the security personel to jail, well, we're going to have an exodus of people willing to call themselves security personel, because no one is paid enough to risk jail for a job.

So, it's not a matter of defending ineptitude, it's a matter of recognizing the problem is complex and unless you can have clear boundries of what is punishible and what is not, your going to have a bad time enforcing anything that makes a difference. As a security person, I'm sure you know a policy without adequate enforcement is absolutely useless.
IMO, any blog or news article that was written AFTER Amazon has been in the news are simply trying to ride the press wave.

I especially find it tickling when most of the authors have no prior work experience or affiliation with any business of Amazon.

It's not like Intel hasn't tried new things over the years, before becoming a huge ARM CPU vendor (XScale) they had the i960 MCU, which was pretty good and the failed i860 VLIW, which was super-promising for graphics and image processing but the compilers never delivered.

It's just that the x86 was always so huge that all the other projects never got traction.

People used to have far fewer choices. When I was a kid, we received a daily newspaper and National Geographic and I would read them both. I would also read every word on every panel of the cereal box. I was bored most of the time, especially over the summer. Now I have the reverse problem - too many things to do and not enough time to spend.

News outlets put stories on Snapchat. I think that's pretty close to what you are suggesting.

The UK is a much smaller market, so it could be easier to roll out new products?
Yes, that's what I'm referring to. I mostly use it on Windows, so I can't really comment on how well it works on MacOS or Linux. My understanding though is that it's basically a straight port, so most of the same functionality should be available.

Another option you might want to look at is KeePassXC. It's a fork of KeePassX, and it has built-in (though off-by-default) support for keepasshttp.

That is a crazy number of CVEs. At a quick glace I am seeing a lot of local root exploits. Generally speaking if a attacker has an account on your system you are already hosed. But this doesn't bode well for more vulnerabilities of this nature that don't require local root.

This is a particularly bad misreading of the comment you're replying to.

The commenter quite explicitly said that they're not referring to all white men. Nor even that being white or a man are among the qualifying conditions.

They are referring to the degree to which people buy in, consciously or subconsciouly, to the notion that their whiteness or masculinity are inherently or naturally good/powerful/dominant.

For a service like this. Domains mean nothing. If they spent more than the price of a .com domain it's a mistake.

It's just a different value calculus from your own. You mention that you try to make choices based on 'what seems right' but surely you're aware that different people have different conceptions thereof. Violent extremists are typically very sure of their moral premises even though they may be drastically different from the popular norm.

If software compatibility across a broad range of devices becomes important, then the ARM ecosystem will just move to broader adoption of device trees. Switching architectures to x86 just to get a standardized platform doesn't make sense.

It's not an attack at you personally. The contrary. But I noticed that a lot of comments found this kind of data collection 'normal'. and apparently in the US this is very much legal. And I as a person find this very troubling, because in Europe these kind of decisions caused a Genocide, which is a result that should not be taken lightly. Do you really want the RNC to collect religious information about all 200 million voters? What happpens if this information falls into wrong hands (in our case it was Nazi's). You just handed someone a potential 200 million long hit list.

I keep wondering what made the news outlets surrender to FB so quickly in the first place. Did they really think it was to their advantage?
No. The chicken and egg problem existed when cars where the new thing and roads where designed for people on feet, bikes, cable cars, trams and horses.

Then car companies did a lot of lobbying.
> Most of us commute around 15 miles each way.

The really crappy part is how much of that 15 miles is caused by car infrastructure. Imagine how much closer one might be to work if the distance were compressed, removing about 80% of all street and highway width, the entirety of all road buffer zones (highways often have several times as much of this as they have actual road), front yards (= mostly to keep house back from busy road and allow space for cars on driveway), parking lots (often several times as large as the place they're meant to serve), and so on. I'd be surprised if such compression didn't shave about half the distance off.

Brave is not forcing anyone to pay for anything (I work at Brave and on the BAT project).

Brave is, and will be free to use.

BAT will be opt-in, and users will not be required to pay for anything.

Users that opt-in when BAT ads become integrated will be awarded BAT from the user growth pool (user growth pool is 300m BATs).

Users that opt-in and wish to remain anonymous do not have to KYC.

Users that choose to exchange BATs for fiat or remove BAT from the system will have to go through KYC if they setup a new wallet as a part of the opt-in.

Again, Brave is not forcing anyone to pay to browse. Brave will continue to block ads and tracking by default, for free. BAT will be integrated and opt-in.

The expensive modeling (and data collection) makes it much cheaper and more feasible.

I agree that it doesn't change the fundamental mechanics, or enable otherwise impossible attacks.
No, by that I mean a VM to run Python bytecode, running in the browser. There is at least one project which tries to do that, but it's not really useable.

The point would be to have access to a large part of the standard library, the full Python data model and a good integration with the javascript platform. Only then would there be a reason to use it.
Agreed.

Finding the motivation/discipline to keep up the conscious effort of improving at anything is the hardest task of all.
Again, the React v/s Respond conundrum.

At hindsight, if you look at a Slack channel, so much information would be found redundant.

It is there just because it is so easy to put out there, because of the intrinsic nature of the medium, and it is so because, most of it is reaction.

In Rome buying a sim is a total gamble -- many times they don't even work. I learned to buy the sim, then literally STAND in the same line and install it into my phone. (When I do this the staff at these stores start to get nervous.) If it doesn't work - I hand them back the sim and explain it doesn't work on my phone. They then take my receipt, type something into their computer, restart the phone and explain how it should work now. THEY NEVER check the phone to see if it works they know -- its related to something they are typing on their computer. ALSO, another trick they try is to explain it takes 24 hours. This is a total lie, it wont work after the 24 hours -- i usually just argue until they fix.
John Carmack (id software, Zenimax, Oculus) used to lock himself in a hotel room for days at a time in order to get work done. I'm curious if he still does it, I'm guessing these days you just need to disconnect from the internet to be distraction-free.

No, I’m not taking a vacation. Quite the opposite, in fact.

I’m getting a hotel room in a state where I don’t know anyone, so I can do
a bunch of research with no distractions.

I bought a new computer specifically for this purpose - A Dolch portable
pentium-II system. The significant thing is that it has full length PCI
slots, so I was able to put an Evans & Sutherland OpenGL accelerator in it
(not enough room for an intergraph Realizm, though), and still drive the
internal LCD screen. It works out pretty well, but I’m sure there will be
conventional laptops with good 3D acceleration available later this year.

This will be an interesting experiment for me. I have always wondered
how much of my time that isn’t at peak productivity is a necessary rest
break, and how much of it is just wasted.
Just thought I would mention: PassFF does not works with the current version of firefox. The current plugin does not work and is not supported. According to the author, we should wait for the Web-Extensions version which will be coming... no idea... soon? I asked about 2 months ago. So pass is basically just a command line password manager unless you run firefox developer edition.
> Security is a major problem in tech. It's very difficult, it's nuanced and its vast. Security covers so so much that it would be difficult to one or maybe even a handful of security experts to fully over all aspects of an app depending on your scope.

Which is why it's so important to hold companies that screw it up accountable. That's the only way to get it to change. Forget about everything else, accountability will force new rules for data storage and protection. Without accountability, nothing will change.
> Generally speaking if a attacker has an account on your system you are already hosed.

Keep in mind that software is moving towards a sandboxed world, especially with containers. Local attack surface is becoming increasingly valuable.

Like the idea! Especially on airports that are famous for their lines and waiting time (JFK...) winning time at immigration and avoid standing in line for a taxi quickly saves you 2 hours. For the business traveler that is almost 2 extra meetings, and for the family traveler that is 2 hours less stress and crying children.

I registered a domain name a while back 'DeliveryOnArrival.com' with the idea to also accelerate business travel. The plan was that you could travel with less stuff (and therefore could bring only hand luggage) and get what normally use and need delivered on arrival: at the airport gate, in your Uber, in your Hertz rental, or at your hotel. Never executed on it though, maybe a nice add-on service (I would use it).

Then there's the last group of people who are, what I call, professional victims. I've not seen a conservative one of these yet. They primarily are in the extremist liberal camps, and the smallest innocuous things will set them off in tirades.

Donald Trump. Professional victim since 1946. Far-right conservative since at least 2008. Recently threatened to cut off relations with several of our closest allies because the elected leader didn't congratulate him quickly enough after November 8th.

"study shows", and "appears to" are filler. "In mice" is unnecessarily narrow as the original headline doesn't imply any species. "U.S. Drops Bombs" is a perfectly fine headline, the location can be specified in the article.

Mostly a short fluff article; however, I have noticed that Azure does have a few powerful features that AWS and GCP lack, most notably InfiniBand (fast interconnects), which I have needed on more than one occasion for HPC tasks. In fact, 4x16 core instances on Azure are currently faster at performing molecular dynamics simulations than 1x"64 core" instance on GCP. But the cost is extremely high, and I still haven't found a good cloud platform for short, high intensity HPC tasks.

That said, Azure probably has the worst UI—slow, buggy, and their CLI doesn't work with Anaconda installed on OS X. I had to hack Anaconda out of my path temporarily while using Microsoft's 'az' tool. Also, their new resource manager system is confusing. In terms of sheer compute capability though, Azure is hard to beat.

Interesting point that lack of back button contributes to iOS apps being better. I realize there are many reasons why that's the case, but I certainly have not had to extricate myself from sub-menus to the extent I have in (highly-rated!) Play store apps.

I went from iOS to Android and back again and really miss the back button, but I'm finding myself mostly wanting to use it to close apps, which of course the home button does. It would be nice to have a software accessibility back button to float in the bottom right of the screen similar to the accessibility home button that would close open menus etc before exiting if possible.
If just the tokenizer was in Rust, that might help. Much of the HTML5 error handling involves dealing with malformed tokens. Comments that begin "<-" instead of "<--". All that stuff at the beginning of a file for guessing the character set. None of those require creating elaborate Python structures from non-Python code.

(I run a web crawler written in Python, which means code exposed to arbitrarily bad HTML. I've had to report and fix bugs in BeautifulSoup and html5lib. At least they fail in a well-defined way. C code can fail in arbitrarily bad ways, and C string processing is notorious for being troublesome.)
policy that believed was in the best interest of the nation

Which nation, exactly?

Imagine if there existed similar databases then. Would you hire someone if you knew they were firmly pro-segregation at age 20-something in 1950-something?

Probably not, not. I would certainly probe very carefully to see whether they had abandoned such a stance, since many aspects of personality and and political attitude are formed early in life. If you go back and look at documentary footage from around the time schools were integrated, in the 50s, you can see many youngish people protesting that and waving placards with swastikas and so forth on them (this less than 2 decades after the Nazis were defeated in WW2). A lot of those people held on to those ideas and passed them onto their kids.
I agree... however, the reason it wasn't reported in the news, is because it wouldn't get a good response for the news agency, and likely piss more people off about the victims of that oppression. I'm not saying they weren't in the wrong, only pointing out why it wasn't more reported in mainstream news.

That's not to say these optimisations are no longer needed; you just need to be smarter about applying them. If you're multiplying by 2^n - 1, for example, keeping n around and writing a pair of shifts is not an optimisation a compiler will be able to make, and even when doing the power inline (x * ((1 << n) - 1)) most compilers aren't able to optimise it properly.

The problem is acting like definitions are fluid when we're not. If I write a huge paragraph about how black people are violent, but mention in one sentence that I'm talking about black people as a symbol for power and not as a race, that doesn't change the fact that I just talked about an entire race as a whole. It's still ignorant, and blurring the line between race and culture is a dangerous rabbit hole.
Information still wants to be free. It's not free when Facebook controls it.
It is... if you're the kind of person who does bit twiddling.
And for everyone else it's gobbledygook.

Basically, you're using a binary representation, so everything is in powers of two. Let's just talk integers. 2^n is just the nth bit set and a bunch of zeros. Every number between 2^n and 2^n+1 has the nth digit set and some lower digits. The log base 2 is between n and n+1. So the floor is n. So, biggest digit set=floor of log base 2.

Once you've grasped that principle, the exact details are, in fact, clear. :)
