No one who supports Trump or Daily Stormer are likely not applying nearly as much inductive reasoning to their decisions as you are in this comment.

I'm not sure - the ad is supposedly from last week. I just thought I ask if anyone new something about this. The PR company seem legit (in the sense it actually exist).

It raises a few questions if related to what happened though.
I think the explanation is that bloated software is cheaper to make.

It is cheaper to develop a .Net app than a C app. Cheaper in Development and maintenance.

It is cheaper to not care about efficient data management, or indexed data structure.

What we're losing in efficiency, we gain in code readability, maintainability, safety, time to market, etc.
Not really sure I follow your argument. Bitcoin Core has wanted to push Segwit and the miners agreed to it as long as a 2MB hardfork was also forthcoming. The 2MB adjustment is all part of the plan. Segwit has locked in, which while being a "soft fork", already breaks compatibility with the original "Bitcoin".

The remainder of the miners who don't agree with this plan have likely already moved to mining Bitcoin Cash, which has no Segwit and 8 MB blocks. I doubt there will be anyone interested in mining a Segwit/1MB fork, it will be technically obsolete.
Note: this is not supported by the current bitcoin developers. It is a fork promoted by Barry Silbert, supported by the large miners and the many bitcoin companies he has funded.

(I have my opinions, but more important to warn people who may be mislead by the title)
A literal 19 hours? Or just "a really long time"?
that advice holds regardless what software you're using, so long as the software does network traffic.

It holds for just running plain old nginx websites.

It doesn't really matter for small instance sizes where your networking is already rate-limited by amazon so much that ENA drivers won't matter, but on beefy instances it's always good advice to make sure you're using ENA supported driverse.

I've played around with ProtonMail in the past but never made the switch. I see now that there is a one password mode that seems more convenient than my legacy 2 password mode. I already have 2FA setup. Given that, is one password mode safe enough or are you still using 2 passwords?

Even though you're asking great questions, this is not the place. The mods here are radical liberals, nearly SJWs, I wouldn't be surprised if they delete or shadow-ban your post.
Arguably that falls into the last category. If you can work for nothing but equity, then somehow or other you don't need the money (right now).
You make good points. I think I screwed up by not saying "for me ...."

For me, I don't want a tool to be "safe" unless all my tools are safe. Working in my shop there are so many places where something can go wrong. I don't just do woodworking, I've got a metal lathe, I do a ton of mechanic stuff so things like forget to put a jackstand under the tractor and the floorjack gives out, I run chainsaws, a chipper, tractors, an excavator, there are just a zillion ways things can go wrong. So I feel like it is my job to make sure that nothing goes wrong. I'm not a fan of one or two or twenty things that save me, I've got 200 ways where something is going to screw me.

Your situation is very likely different. I'm rural, on 15 acres, all of this stuff is to support living here. I can't afford to get lazy or complacent, I'd be dead real quick.
Pretty much or at least an organisation that adheres to all or the preponderance of the tenets of the ideology.

While I might suspect the Stormfronters would like to do that I don't know that they would, authoritarian fascists, sure, Nazi's not really.

Maybe it's because I like history and I've read a lot about WWII and the factors that led up to it but I'm careful with the world Nazi.

Been a race supremacist doesn't mean Nazi because logically a Black Panther would also be a Nazi then.

Been hard-right doesn't make you a Nazi because then the Republican party would be Nazi's.

Been pro-eugenics doesn't make you a Nazi because then the government of the UK, US and USSR where Nazi (in the early 20th century).

Been pro-nationalism doesn't make you a Nazi because then well half the governments on the planet would be Nazi's.

Been a race supremacist, hard right and pro-eugenics and nationalist just might.
Weird branding misstep tbh.
I have read many of the threads here, and I think it boils down to this: do businesses (NOT THE GOVERNMENT) have the right to choose what content and customers they serve?

Further, does it matter if they are a hosting provider? A network provider? A telephone provider? Can those providers cancel you if the company doesn't like what you say or are?

This is tough: I honestly don't know if freedom of speech needs to be enforced by private companies. I think of freedom of speech is the problem here: companies have more influence over our conversations and the old protections are simply not adapting well.
Yes and you can say the same thing about communists or whatever political ideology you don't like. "They want to take our freedoms!" is a popular expression in every political ideology.

There is nothing in the first amendment about losing the right to free speech if you don't support freedom yourself. Monarchism was a serious threat at the time, but the founders didn't remove the rights of monarchists.
People have silenced dissidents for thousands of years too, why aren't you willing to be optimistic about that?
>It's amusing watching people complain about how we're headed to a world where the streaming services are no better than cable TV. Netflix is $10 / month. Pile on a half dozen services like that, and you're still only around 50-60% of what the average cable bill in the US is (just over $100 / month).

People are crazy to pay over $100/month. A half a dozen similar services + Netflix would already exceed any cable TV plan I've ever had.

And for less than $60/mo, I will get more content than I would if I just sign up for individual services. The reason I don't bother is that the content is pretty poor regardless.
Apologies. I haven't been using Ubuntu in a while and did not know you had to modify stuff under /usr there. (Eww!)

As far as I can see, you are not correct.
They do. The problem is that equality is still strict binary equality for text, for obscure technical reasons. So, while you can get extremely flexible customizations to collation with icu [1], you can't have case insensitive equality, or equality that ignores accents. This is recognized as a problem, and is probably going to be fixed in v11.

But what's the end game? Do service providers have to morally support those who they provide service to? Because that's how things are looking. I wish we could just pretend these sites don't exist and stop giving them free publicity and advertisement. Trump is president because he's profitable to hate. Seems like we're repeating our mistakes. The only people who win by manufacturing outrage is the media.
It depends. See MEYER V. KALANICK where the court held some provisions of uber's adhesive terms of service unenforceable since a small hyperlink to a TOS was not considered sufficient notice to the user that they were waiving their right to a trial by jury.

You mean actual competition, instead of a handful of companies controlling users' eyeballs? Perish the thought!
I don't agree necessarily with the first three items on your list.

In fact I think there is a sort of casual indifference to the first two that frequently borders on criminal neglect. Why bother with them when the "time to market" driver of methodology selects for the most easily replacable code?

Safety is also debatable and mostly accidental. Most of the languages that are fast and "easy" to develop in rest on a core of C or C++, and are really only as safe as that code. Safer, because there may be fewer foot guns, but not necessarily "safe."
More accurate / precise headline: TechCrunch Startup Battlefield Australia site stores user passwords in plaintext

At the bottom it says "Powered by Trackiva" which looks to be a splash page service.

> Trackiva is the platform that powers the famous TechCrunch Battlefield application selection process.

So really it sounds like this splash page service, which looks to be relatively unknown in Google is insecure, making (at least) some of the OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities.

Apparently the app is made by this company Fardini Media (https://www.fardinimedia.com/). Hopefully they'll find this thread from a Google Alert or something and fix it.
Ok maybe but cloudflare hosts actual ISIS content so why is that acceptable?
It's not censorship either way. The private corporation should be able to regulate its network as it pleases on the content it allows. People are free to use, or not use, that service in consequence.

If Cloudflare can't regulate the content on its service, then neither can any other service properly. Extrapolated, it means a typical blog must allow any comments posted to it. These issues were logically thought through and settled a very long time ago, and it has worked very well for a very long time: disallowing your speech on my private property, is not censorship.

Seems inevitable that this sliding process will end with the US Government having direct policing power of speech in regards to the Internet, as they have over traditional broadcast & radio.

Just wait until everyone sees what the next, worse version of a Trump does with the power to directly use his FCC to limit speech arbitrarily based on shifting definitions on things like hate speech.
> In C# 6.0 you can also make them properties instead of fields

Why would I want to? It's more boilerplate for no gain. I have never understood the obsession with properties over fields. I realise that to some serialisation or interop libraries that rely on reflection to access properties it's important, but to my mind, those solutions should also support public fields. And obviously inheritance-land with interfaces, but I find writing in a functional style that interfaces tend to be a rarity rather than the default setting.

> though I have no idea if this works with your "Record" class.

Yes, field backed properties are supported in the structural equality and ordering.

> And C# 7.0 shortens this to...

It doesn't. That maybe coming in a later release, but neither C# 7.0 nor 7.1 support the record syntax.
Amongst colleagues, it certainly is. We should treat all genuine attempts to research and present any idea with equal respect, and not be irrationally attached, or hopeful, or dismissive towards anything.

However, among mainstream media and the public, considering the previous false claims to a proof, and given the extreme attention surrounding the question being studied, Scott's response demonstrates what a healthy level of skepticism looks like.
What possible justification is there for that? With radio there was at least the colorable reason that public goods (limited radio spectrum) were involved. Here's it's private content streaming from private servers over private wires.
> If the GPL was a contract that tried to restrict your rights, then putting in header comments should not make it enforceable.

Suppose I modified and distributed GPL code in a compiled binary, without making my modifications available in source form. Suppose also I claim that I didn't notice any header comments or LICENSE.TXT files. On what grounds would the licensor claim that I had agreed to the terms of the GPL?

I'm just pointing out that people who don't think click-through TOS should be enforceable would be inconsistent to simultaneously opine that the GPL should be enforceable simply because it's packaged in text form along with the code.
This. Violent sedition, undermining the rule of law and promoting the destruction of Democracy is not a right and defending Democracy is our duty.
> Did you really think that all these media companies were going to magically shed 90% of their revenue?

I am. Dissenting speech will continue long after Cloudflare is acquired/out of business/etc.

I'm only here to draw light to hypocrisy.
It's not true, sorry. The core developers wanted segwit, and refused to agree to another size doubling as well.

The miners did it anyway. The bitcoin reference client is not supporting this, and claims that 90% of miners will split are completely unverified (and, to be fair, unverifiable).

> but one "terrorist attack" (unplanned murder with a vehicle, a hate crime) occurs in a state in the US and suddenly the gloves are off.

There's no "unplanned murder". Intent, and (depending on jurisdiction) premeditation are requirements for a murder charge.

Terrorism is defined as "the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims".

So we have three requirements:

- "unlawful": Intentionally driving a car into a crowd is obviously unlawful

- "violence": yes, equally obvious

- "in the pursuit of political aims": He was a participant in a white supremacist march, and drove into a group of people opposing his politics.

You know—I want to agree with you, but it's not one or the other.

They could've very easily left all ports alone but 1, and replace 1 USB port with an USB-C one.

I bought my laptop for the keyboard—which is great although dirt is a major problem, but I really wish they'd made the thing half a centimeter thicker but with all ports like they used to have.

Like I said, I can perhaps see the advantage of having an USB-C port, but it doesn't justify losing all the other ones. It is NOT and upgrade at all.
Yes, they do. Computers are cheap; humans are expensive. In an average application (including IDEs), most CPU time is spent idling waiting for user input. Most memory is idle unless you have something like superfetch caching stuff ahead of time for you. If the new features make users faster, they're decidedly worth it.

Fundamentally, modern systems are much more usable - in every sense of the word. Modern IDEs are more accessible to screen readers, more localizable to foreign languages including things like right-to-left languages, do more automatic syntax highlighting, error checking, test running, and other things that save developer cycles, and on and on. Each of these makes the program considerably more efficient.
> do businesses (NOT THE GOVERNMENT) have the right to choose what content and customers they serve?

Yes.

This is why VISA was instrumental in the 'war on porn' and why every service provider ever has a provision in their contracts stating they can terminate your online presence at their discretion.

That's a way for the industry to avoid becoming government regulated, as long as this self regulation takes care of the worst excesses companies will continue to be able to operate in relative freedom.

The few times that local national law (such as in France and Germany) has butted up against companies trying to re-write the law in a more lenient way this has - predictably - failed.

But as long as companies stay on the far side of that line they are free to draw more restrictive lines as they see fit with impunity so long as those lines do not affect the lives of so called 'protected classes' in a negative way and because of the item that triggers that class to be protected in the first place.
>acquiring many paid CF subscriptions from the sites that the booters can attack

Still doesn't make sense. CF alone doesn't effectively defend against DDoS attacks without somewhat complicated setup, CF is completely worthless when your backend is getting attacked.

I think you're seriously overestimating the amount of people pushed to use CF because of these booters.

Besides, do you feel that the situation would be any different if the booters weren't allowed on CF? CF is by no means important to their operations.
Related to what happened? What happened that this would be related to?
> I think the right to free speech ends when it becomes threats of violence...

"True threats" may be the correct term (but IANAL). Not everything that sounds threatening makes the grade.

> ... and white nationalism has gotten to that point.

Some white nationalist speech has gotten to that point. But that point, legally, is further than you think, and most white nationalist speech, while ugly and absolutely not worth listening to, does not reach the legal standard of a threat.

Note well: People are not at liberty to redefine the legal definition to what they think it "should be" (short of amending the Constitution).
Tell me what "the ideology" is then.

The reason it will save them money is because there are no "chargebacks" or reverts with bitcoin.

You get $10 worth of bitcoin in your account and it's confirmed, you have $10 of bitcoin, and nobody can take it back.

That, plus the lack of a 3% fee (although there might be one for their bitcoin processor) means a good amount of savings for some.
That GAO report for all intents and purposes counts any murder by a person affiliated with a right wing group as an act of terror, including prison beatings, death of a homeless man etc and lumps them in with legitimate acts of terror.

Is it? 97 might be a bit extreme, but the other day I opened an old project which was still on VS2010 and I was struck by how much faster 2010 was while still having nearly every VS feature that I wanted. They're slowing porting VS to .net and paying a huge performance penalty for that.
The two situations are completely different. With print media, the Internet showed that the public was willing to forgo an expensive, high-quality product (e.g. the NYT) for a much cheaper, low-quality product (e.g. Buzzfeed).

That hasn't happened in television and film. To the contrary, peoples' expectations have only gone up. The production value (and production costs!) of television shows these days is up there with that of movies 10-15 years ago. Netflix's pivot to original content shows that consumers want high-budget, high-production-quality original content more than ever.
You don't see why someone might be more opposed to actual literal swastika-carrying roman-saluting Hitler-worshipping Nazis who would be out exterminating inferior races right now if they had more followers, than to a web site that helps you download movies without paying for them?

Criminality isn't the only thing people look at for this stuff.
> Do service providers have to morally support those who they provide service to? Because that's how things are looking.

No, but there are obvious limits on what companies would like to be seen to be associating with. Cloudflare is a lot more lenient than most in this respect, but that got interpreted as 'there is no line they will not cross'. That assumption seems to not have borne fruit.

I'm reminded of the 'Slashdot will not censor posts' outrage a number of years ago because, yes, Slashdot did have that power and used it once. Of course for the absolutists that once was the sign that the end was neigh, only that's not how it played out.

> I wish we could just pretend these sites don't exist and stop giving them free publicity and advertisement. Trump is president because he's profitable to hate. Seems like we're repeating our mistakes. The only people who win by manufacturing outrage is the media.

> It's sort of disconcerting to admit this but recent events have me reevaluating the utility of unvarnished free speech as a societal value.

Very disconcerting that you and so many other people feel this way. Free speech and competition of ideas is an essential part of our society. To deny free speech is to oppress.

> no recourse to the psychological and structural damage they do to our society through their dishonesty

Open, civil, and logical debate of ideas is your recourse. If your ideas cannot win over the majority, maybe you (and possibly that society) deserve to lose. Civil rights, gay marrage, and abortion have all come about because of free speech. Thinking anything else is folly.
FWIW, the stock kernel (and HWE/HWE-edge kernels) recently picked up current ENA drivers. ixgbevf, unfortunately, doesn't look like it's been updated in-tree so it still lags behind Amazon's recommendation (currently 2.14.2, whereas Xenial's in-tree driver claims to be 2.12.1 and Trusty has 2.11.3).
