This is stupid. No intruder is going to copy files straight to their home computer. They'll use a compromised server somewhere, and there is plenty of server to server bandwidth.

It's fine to be skeptical of course, and to be very skeptical of direct "hacking the election" (whatever that means) claims.

But there is plenty of public evidence that Russia was involved in the DNC hack. This evidence was available before the election, which makes it more credible against claims of political interference.

I've posted this before, but I think it's important people understand what public evidence is available:

2014 report into ATP-28: https://www.fireeye.com/blog/threat-research/2014/10/apt28-a..., presenting pretty compelling (if circumstantial) evidence that group is Russian state backed.

(July) 2016 report into the DNC hacking, showing it was first breached by ATP-29 (The other Russian state backed hacking group), but the leaks almost certainly came from a second breach by ATP-28 later: https://www.crowdstrike.com/blog/bears-midst-intrusion-democ...
What determines whether an applicant is accepted into the course?
They have the right to be a registrar because the government allowed it (here in the US). It seems that if I registered godaddysucks.com and they refused I would have a case as they are blocking political speech on a service they where granted the right to service by the US government and thus the people.

In China the government which controls the registars for their country would of course ban"wedrovetanksovertheprotestors.co.cn". Does not seem we in the USA should allow that sort of restriction here, no?

All free speech has to be allowed. The internet in the US is a public monopoly like power, etc (despite the current FCC chairs view). As a public monopoly the right of free speech for something like a registrar has to be enforced. This does not mean Facebook cannot enforce a terms of service as you do not need to use Facebook. But banning the public resource of domain registration which allows these dumbasses to put up and host their own site violates the idea of free speech as they require a registrar to exist in order to speak. It does not matter if we do not like what they have to say. After all you need not visit the site.

Banning Nazi speech in Germay has not resulted Germany being free of neo-nazis.

Hitler started slow, prohibiting the trade unionist. Seemed like a great idea at the time.... it's a slippery slope.

Education is the only cure here. Restricting speech only leads to more extreme behavior and opens the path for others to restrict what they do not like.

Mavic? Why not Spark?

Spark is even smaller... for travelling, it's ideal. (If you have a standard sized suitcase, the Mavic will assume like half the space of it... Spark is MUCH smaller). And it's more affordable.

Lenin wasn't the proximate cause of generational misery for an entire community of Americans (and yes, I realise there is also a sizeable group of escapees from Soviet communism here, but I hope that I don't have to point out the obvious differences in scale and effect).
While I haven't owned any other drone to compare, I think the Mavic is quite incredible - the combination of compactness and ability is brilliant. Being able to take something in a small pack that can fly kilometres away and handle quite windy weather is really useful if you enjoy documenting your trips or just having an excuse to get out and about more.

It's not a drone-specific account, but I put up a few photos and videos here: https://www.instagram.com/isaacforman/

It takes about 20-30 minutes in most cases. The last 10% of the battery takes a loooong time to complete, and it's bad for battery health, so most Tesla owners on roadtrips treat 90% as full and stop charging at that point. It ends up being about the same time it takes to visit the restroom and grab a snack, so there's not much of a time difference vs. any other trip where you're not trying to set a land speed record.

Thanks for posting this.

I'm saddened by the efforts of others to divide the nation and pit us against each other. Sometimes it feels like there are too many interests trying to use fear and division to achieve their own ends.

I refuse to buy into that way of thinking. I'm an American and so is everyone that shares our values. Everyone.
Accusations of being a Nazi are inherently a call to violence. The amount of "bash the fash" and "it's O.K. to punch Nazis" means that people can reasonably expect violence to be inflicted on folks named-and-shamed as fascist.
There may be some ageism, but there are enough employers that don't care that we're more than OK to take that risk.
I actually go the completely opposite way, and I'm the happiest person I know.

I own everything, everything that happens to me, everything that goes wrong around me, I take my share of responsibility in it. Analyze what I can do to improve it, and do it.

When I think like what you mentioned I tend to lose control of my emotions, I feel angrier, I feel sadder. When I own what happens to me, I feel peace. I know almost everything can be improved. Maybe not short term, but eventually.

Coming back to the other side, I think the core of it is that thinking that stuff is happening to me makes me feel like a victim. I don't take responsibility for anything, thus it must be the fault of some external factor. I try to rationalize and assign blame. All in all, it's a much more negative experience for me.
Eh, fuck it.

What's your solution?

I gave a nice, uniform principle that allows as much as tolerance as is possible without eroding all of it. Many before me have offered it too. Again, it's not a new idea.

You pick it apart, claiming that in some (specifically intolerant of others) religious person's point of view, their magical god favoritism allows them to stigmatize people, so therefore my principle just doesn't work.

You're right: my principle excludes people. It excludes the intolerant, where intolerance is identified by the simple test I outlined. And that's it. That is all it excludes. It excludes people for their choices to harm others. But your hypothetical (again, specifically intolerant) person's magical god-favoritism instead excludes people for who they are. That's the difference.

So, we as a society can choose one of these ways or the other. And I argue we continue to treat tolerance as a social contract for the simple reason that the other option, free speech absolutism ...breaks. It erodes down to an intolerant society, where a violent few pry away the rights of everyone else. But if you treat tolerance as a social contract, the result is stable.
I wonder what level of accuracy they could manage with dead reckoning?
I hope that the death and destruction that did happen, Heather Heyer and then 12 (edit: looks like that number is up to 34 hurt, and two officers in a helicopter accident) other individuals hurt, does serve as a slap in the face.

This reaction of seeking the individuals out who took part, in whatever small way, is a direct response to that. It makes people feel good that they can serve a common good by seeking the individuals out online, but of course there are going to be people incorrectly identified.

In fact, one of the things commonly stated about the rise of the National Socialists in Germany, is that not enough people stood up to stop it. This is tacit approval for some form of vigilantism. So what do people do? Wait for the authorities who are failing to act? Or act themselves? It's a hard decision. On the one hand it will cause escalation of the fight as both sides react in this way, on the other it's important that we as a society don't allow fridge elements to destroy our fundamental values.
That touches on a couple of Buddhist thoughts.

The human condition is suffering. Suffering comes from desire.

Rather than desire your unhappiness to disappear, you've accepted it. Thus, you do not suffer from it.

Or so they say.
> unlike what's inside a store front, you can't observe the contents of a web server without interacting with it (trespassing).

Then what do you consider the storefront, or public facing data of a website? Just the whois info on the domain?

The general public can't observe the locked contents of a server without hacking it. Hacking is trespassing.

I would modify your analogy to say the store front is public facing, just like some of the LI data is public facing. There is other LI data that is not public facing.

In my opinion, websites have a larger storefront, as well as multiple levels of access to internal data.
It could be, hypothetically, but the description and example given don't do that.

> This is because you were built by your genes to be good mainly at one thing: reproducing.

About that...
My grandfather also fought in World War 2 - in fact, he abandoned the family farm in the middle of the night at 17 to go defend his nazi occupied country. He'd spend the following 4 years living in forests and trying to blow up german trains at night, and seeing his closest friends die.

He fought at the liberation of Royan, and received a fairly prestigious decoration for it. After the war, he married my grandma - whom he had met through a postal service that matched young soldiers to young women so as to keep them motivated - just by showing up to her house, as he had nowhere else to go to.

He then worked in a chemical plant, starting from the bottom, and ending up in a very respectable managerial position. His first child became a surgeon, and his second child a chemical researcher for the very company he had worked for.

Sadly, he spent the last 15 years of his life becoming more and more racist, frequently disparaging arabic/black people, and voting for extreme right political parties. He died never knowing that my cousin was gay, and that he had been breaking her heart with all of his anti gay rhetoric. He taught her to count, drive, and was basically a second father to her.

For him, Americans were always the liberators, coming from a country of justice and respect. He was very proud when I moved to the US.

And now people are marching with nazi flags in the open streets.

What fucking weird days we live in.

But you're right: The neo-Nazis seem mostly to be buffoons, more-or-less. We have some people in the White House who are having a very difficult time taking the obvious moral stance against them, though. Decrying Nazis is literally the most no-brainer thing a politician can do. This is the softest softball of national crises. And our President completely whiffed it.
So you may like Google's and GoDaddy's reaction in this case. be But try to think what could happen if this was the norm. Comcast could refuse to provide their services to sites that talk about Google fiber. Google could remove Bing from 8.8.8.8. T-Mobile could block calls to Sprint.

Some of what I listed are currently illegal, but are they in essence different? With rumors that the current administration might remove net neutrality, things like this will only encourage them to.

I have several domains with light use or "parked" with Namecheap. A month or two ago, there was a story about their giving someone the boot because they "violated Namecheap's TOS". I seem to recall that said "breach" was weaker and more questionable as well as being based in apparent mis-understanding on Namecheap's part.

At the time, this caused me concern WRT whether more or all domain name registrations might end up subject to the will and whim of individual registrars.

Might I lose a domain due to some arbitrary decision by Namecheap? How long would I have to "rescue" it? What if I was traveling? I do travel to some remote places, occasionally.

Now, it starts to seem indeed more like one's presence in the DNS is or will be subject to the tastes and discretion of the private companies that are the registrars taking, holding, and managing these registrations.

As a famous movies says, "I hate Illinois Nazis."

But DNS should be managed technically, not emotionally.

Not looking forward to the "Great Corporate Firewall" any more than I've not enjoyed the Great Chinese Firewall, et al.

P.S. I guess I should read the article. It will probably be some disgusting behavior that more than half makes me want to change what I've just written.

But, I keep seeing the "open" net being chipped away at. And I'm not sure how or who we trust to draw the line between what's acceptably open and what's not.

P.P.S. Oops, I did already read it. But I didn't see the denigrating article nor much detail about that article, in it. However, I'm guessing it may be the one that a friend shared -- copy/pasta, without linking, by the way; no brownie points for the authors -- because it was so disgusting and offensive, she thought all her friends should be aware of the filth emanating from these people.

It was really damned offensive, and cruel.

Makes me a bit worried about what I wrote, above. Nonetheless, I'm also very worried about DNS becoming a political and emotional football.
> where every trip you make becomes subject to economic considerations, far more than it would have if you'd owned a car.

As it should, as well as an environmental consideration.
Fascinating indeed. Do you happen to have any recommended reading for those of us interested in learning how things really happen at the board level? There's so much politics and intrigue that goes on behind the scenes that rarely becomes public.
I'd love to see more debate about just this.
It's pretty easy to understand. We already had this discussion nationally, back in Skokie and Chicago:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Socialist_Party_of_Am...

The ACLU, on behalf of honest-to-God neo-nazis who wanted to march in a place where 1/6 of the folks were Holocaust survivors, stood up for the 1st amendment. Notably, it established that icons of a hate group were not themselves fighting words--rather different than the "everything is violence" position taken by the myopic today.

I'm equally unsettled that few seem as principled or dedicated to basic freedoms today.
Great podcast interview with Charlottesville Native
Most humans get enjoyment from hurting others at a base level, but decent people try not do it because of a higher level of functioning and because of cultural values.

Unfortunately many parts of society, accept/encourage this behavior in certain situations. (IE the way smokers are treated by many people, what a turn culture has had there)

Even if it was him, he should not have been doxxed. A decent human would try and help him if he was wrong and it also sets us up for a decent society.

This conversation really should not be around guilt or innocence, it should be around doxxing and attacking individuals.

Stick to zombie movies. That's what they are there for, we get to hurt 'people' but not 'real' people.
The flip side of that coin is that no one remembers that moment. Only time can tell. I think it's a matter of placing your bets where you think it is most probable that you will win the most. I personally don't believe that the statements yoh made will be true. The owner thinks otherwise.

> Initially installed in Czechoslovakia in 1988, the sculpture was removed after the Velvet Revolution and brought to the United States in the 1990s.

> Lewis E. Carpenter, an English teacher in Poprad originally from Issaquah, Washington, found the monumental statue lying in a scrapyard ready to be sold for the price of the bronze

> ... Carpenter approached the city officials with a claim that despite its current unpopularity, the sculpture was still a work of art worth preserving, and he offered to buy it for $13,000. After many bureaucratic hurdles, he finally signed a contract with the mayor on March 16, 1993.

> ... the statue was cut into three pieces and shipped to the United States at a total cost of $40,000. Carpenter financed much of that via mortgaging his home.

> The Carpenter family continues to seek a buyer for the statue. As of 2015 the asking price is $250,000, up from a 1996 price tag of $150,000.

Building a wall is akin to limiting the site only to registered users. They don't do this because they want google to index them, but it indexes only publicly available sites.

I'm similar. I drink coffee because I really like drinking coffee. That it's healthy is another bonus point, but at the same time I have to limit myself because the voice in my head says "don't drink too much otherwise your off-days will be harder".

Though I am still at maximum 1 cup per day and have absolutely no problem skipping a few days here and there. Good thing about caffeine is that it's very fast to reset back to 0.

Other caffeine sources I enjoy as well but try to stay away as much as possible and only consume very very very occasionally. Studies that link telomere length to caffeine (from non-coffee sources) are enough to make me not want to drink energy drinks at all despite me really liking the taste and boost.
Ok, style for the actual class: We start the day out with a code challenge, then move into a mini lecture (a few students with one instructor) and a mini project you'll work on with a pair programming partner. Then another short lecture and you'll begin working on your main project.

If you're ever stuck you jump onto our #help channel on Slack and there's instantly someone available to help out. Chances are they've seen that problem before.

Once you're finished with your challenge or project you'll submit it as a pull request (we use Github for everything) and you'll have a code review. Sometimes those are in person, sometimes they're just comments left on code.

We have frequent brown bag lectures (lectures with industry experts) and office hours with instructors to discuss, well, anything.

Hope that helps!

4% until you pay it off. The "interest" on your loan is pegged at inflation. If you never get a job you never pay it back. This is actually a problem for the gov, where older students study but never find a job in their field.

You are being disingenuous. People celebrating violence at Berkeley and reminding Liberals that come revolution time they will be getting the bullet too, are closer to the opposite of the klansmen/neo-nazis in both extremity, and in numbers.
