Same in France. For all the dogs around me, humans seem invisble. At least until you explicitly let the dog, at which point he look s at you as if christmas came early.

An hour ago I was walking back home from a restaurant and a dog looked at me, well until I realized that there was a bird or something behind me. They are indeed an alien breed once here.
The greater problem is that police use a taser in the case of non-resisting or physically harmless suspects, including children.
Seeing as Atlassian is a Web + Java shop, and reasonably invested in React, it's doubtful.
So NAT is virtuous because it (in effect) expands the address space and makes address assignment (partly) dynamic (because the above-32-bit address components are assigned at connection time).

But I think the article is ignorant of the real problems that NAT traversal cause in many situations. Yes, we have a system that largely works. But that in itself doesn't prove the current system is equivalent to the IPv6 alternative. In fact, there are good reasons to believe an IPv6 world will make the Internet significantly more dynamic and peer-to-peer friendly.
Not only was SSN not intended to be a national id, it was explicitly not supposed to be a national id.

In the era when SSN was established, Nazi Germany and its emphasis on "papers, please" was on the public's mind. SSN was intended to be used solely for tax purposes, not as a form of national identity. There were legal constraints on when government agencies can even ask for SSN, limited to legitimate tax purposes. Sadly, these protections have been whittled down over time:

https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2016-09-15/this-loop...

> Federal law is supposed to protect the privacy of your Social Security number from government inquiries -- but apparently that doesn’t extend to a check on whether you’ve paid back taxes and child support. In a decision with worrying implications for those who oppose a single national identification number, a divided federal appeals court has rejected a lawyer’s refusal to submit his Social Security number along with his renewal of Maryland bar membership.

> The state says it needs Social Security numbers to make sure lawyers’ child support and taxes are up to date. The court’s majority said that was enough to fit the Social Security number under the federal law that allows states to use your number for tax purposes. That definition is so loose that it enables states to ask for your Social Security number pretty much whenever they want -- even when their records have been hacked.

Really, the government should make it possible for citizens to create an arbitrary number of different tax ids (SSNs), as many as they want. One for every firm they do business with, one for every employer, and so on.
I am a person in this forum, and I do not think that using a taser against a violent criminal is inhumane.

What I (and many others) think is significantly more nuanced:

1. Using a taser against a violent person is humane only because it posses a smaller (but still important, and still present) risk of harm to the person than that person poses to bystanders and to the police.

2. Using a potentially lethal weapon like a taser against a nonviolent person is inhumane.

3. Manipulating science by funding supporters and suppressing critics to pretend your potentially lethal weapon is non-lethal is unethical.

The use of force in the article should have been measured against "if this fails we might have to chase this guy who spray-painted an abandoned building more, or we might not catch him at all... or we might kill him."
This is about what happened in the 70s, so 80s-onward experience is not relevant.

I think he also feels his work is not appreciated by the establishment. In all of this I don't see many people really examining how his system worked and what problems it solved. They're very focused on arguing that this or that piece existed earlier, so he has no claim. Part of it is his fault for laying claim to such a grandiose title. But I'm also feeling there is a typical lack of appreciation among his critics for what we would now call UX work, i.e. making a usable system.
Obviously. However, training alone is insufficient - training is the way to trust cops with real guns, but tasers and guns still fill different roles. Tasers are non-lethal ranged weapons, complementing non-lethal close-range (batons/pepper spray) and lethal ranged weapons (guns).

To me, this incident highlights a design flaw in tasers - too strong and too inflexible. Years of evidence already highlighted the training failures in some regions.
I was stunned that they gave Captain Underpants a 87. Audience score was only 64.

Movie was awesome though!

Rating are nothing new. Seems like the old paper TV Guide had ratings in it.
As an electronic engineer, I've probably received more electric shocks than most people. It very much depends on where you get shocked, if you avoid the area around the heart then you could get away with it. It still hurts though.
There are still times I look to Vagrant instead of, and alongside, Docker.

The reason being Docker for Mac uses a VM anyway (an xhvye machine) - it does try to hide/abstract this away, but inevitably this leaks. The xhyve VM has the usual parameters memory, diskspace, CPUs, and not least a kernel. There are limited options to fiddle with these parameters, though you can log into it and poke around there. I thus find it easier to just have setup Vagrant machines with Docker - then I have better control over those things.

If I were on a Linux distro though, I'd probably use Vagrant a lot less.
Resisting arrest and evading arrest are qualitatively different, though I don't feel like researching legal precedent on the topic right now to find which courts and circuits think what about it.

Whatever the law says, the use of potentially deadly-force to prevent the application of graffiti is unconscionable. Graffiti may be aesthetically undesirable and property owners are within their rights to obstruct or remove it from their property, but adding a layer of paint to a wall does not damage the wall.
Then that's asynchronous messaging. Like email.

The thing I hate is the opposite. When I'm told off for not replying to a message. Ergo need to keep it in visual range and stop what I'm doing on each message. Even if it's an inane broadcast from a team member.
Cool article! I guess that's why Go does its error handling without exceptions.
If that were the case, then who approved the acquisition? Who did due diligence on it?

Suddenly letting a bunch of untrusted, poorly audited code run on your infrastructure is itself a massive security breach. And even that doesn't explain how data was extracted for two months with no one noticing.

> Not having to manage a server

Seems odd you would want to have you're internal company discussions hosted on a server outside your control. It's especially relevant to companies outside the USA who might not want to have their data under US law.

I wouldn't recommend IRC for office communication. XMPP is probably the better tool.
So will they?
If it's online, it will be hacked and exposed. The new reality! Let's just try to limit what info we give to companies, knowing it will be leaked soon or later.
You're assuming that attackers are always profit-motivated, which would not be true in the case of a government protecting the sovereignty of their national currency, for instance.
Equifax Reports Data Breach Possibly Impacting 143M U.S. Consumers
I've never _actually_ understood the fears behind curl https | sh when most application installers are binary blobs that'll ask for admin anyway. At least this method is mostly/completely transparent about what it's actually doing.
> That's a fool's bet to say "I will pay you X amount of money if it floods" when it is guaranteed to flood sooner or later. That amounts to charity, not insurance.

The bet is more like, "I will pay you X amount of money if your damages from flooding exceed your deductible within the next year." It's not at all given that it will flood at all this year, or that your losses will exceed the deductible.

It's true that it would require substantial diversification or re-insurance, since flooding is a clustering event.
> Yes tasers may cause health issues in 0.001% of uses...

This is simply not true and weakens your argument quite a bit.
I'm a long time JIRA user who started using Phabricator last year for a side project (that has now become my main project).

I didn't really have a major problem with JIRA, but we self hosted them on AWS, and the resource requirements of JIRA, Confluence, Fisheye etc. meant that we had to set up separate instances to stop them crashing all the time.

Phabricator gives us the same functionality as all the Atlassian tools I mentioned above, but on one virtual Digital Ocean $10/mo server. It is much more reliable, and has a better, much more integrated UI.

Faster too - MUCH faster. I can really tell when I go back to JIRA to log a bug and have to wait 5 to 10 seconds for a form to build itself and load.
It's more like whether a film is worth seeing. Critics don't think talking animal movies are good. They think the kids and parents will enjoy the experience and not regret the tickets. So they all rate it "sure, see it" and it gets 95% on rottentomatoes.
What I mean to say is it's not validated* They should have hosted this on a domain associated with the company and validated the cert with the business
an abandoned McDonald's at that
I find it difficult to reconcile your second and third paragraphs.

I guess choosing not to prioritize security (vs profit or whatever) when making acquisitions is different than just ignoring it entirely.
Work somewhere more fun.
I used to live about 20 minutes drive away from SJU (my parents still do) and travelled through it frequently for college breaks. SJU is much like any other largish international airport in the U.S.

Many of the houses and buildings there are sturdier than you'd think. My parents house is at the end of a row of six or so that share walls. So they buffer each other's flanks during a hurricane. Their windows don't have glass. Instead it's screens covered by storm shutters with iron bars over those. Also, the houses are constructed of thick reinforced concrete rather than the picturesque wood, siding, and shingles that you might be thinking of. It's actually rather bunker like. Hurricanes can hit several times per year and those houses are built to take the punishment.

(Got word from my parents last night that the power was out and their street is filled with windblown debris that they and their neighbors will be cleaning up today, but otherwise they came through fine.)
downvoters: I'm deadly serious. I've seen plenty of deployment systems which were unbearably slow because it gave more time for a human to spot a bad deploy and cancel it, and who were afraid to replace it with something faster because it would lack this safety net.
:) Do you know if there is a scientific name for the shrimp?

I'm thinking the cold water is the primary ingredient in having yummy shrimp.
Anyone know if there's a way to get your free credit report if you can't answer the questions for the free one?

The computer says no, and the phone number just sends a letter that says no. I tried to to buy one from my bank, but as far as I can tell they only sell subscriptions...
Google’s fight against human trafficking
Public-key crypto has been around since the late 1970s. Smart cards have been around since the 1990s. Two decades is nowhere near enough time for these sorts of changes to go through, you have to wait for all the past generation's lawmakers to retire/die and be replaced. Getting financial institutions to adopt new things that don't directly make them money is even harder.
They are continuing to support HipChat Datacenter edition...for what it's worth.
In which direction do you want it do move, if you want velocity that is.

I more often find platforms have too much velocity. And if not too little mass, then too little solidity.
That is a very 2015 view - now days people don't buy bitcoin for its use in transactions, they buy bitcoin because it keeps going up. The more it goes up the less people are likely to spend it. We don't need many miners if people never spend it.

Here is one high profile example http://avc.com/2017/08/store-of-value-vs-payment-system/

(of course when it starts to go back to zero people will all try to sell and the infrastructure wont be there)

PS: The paper deals with a very interesting problem about how miners are paid. I dont want to take away from it. Just that I feel the whole BTC environment has taken a new turn that makes the problem less of an issue.
Funny, I was thinking the opposite.

Imagine psychology... done properly. The beginning of a science.

(I realize that "beginning" is too harsh, but psychology does have very serious problems with replicability. At the moment, it deserves its tarnished reputation.)
You keep using that word, I do not believe it means what you think it means.
Better AVR support for Rust? Can anyone comment on this?
So, are you saying that this is not part of the fundamental analysis you should do if you have money at stake? You have made such analysis to argue about the threshold numbers.
Are you extremely surprised at this, or not at all? Just from context, I can't quite decide which it is.
Apologies, I meant the 7.
We don't know if this has anything to do with any acquisitions - this is a conjecture, at best.

At any rate - I don't care. I never gave Equifax permission to collect my personal data. I certainly never gave them permission to store it in a way that it can easily be hacked. If you buy a 3rd party company, "unfuck" and harden their software BEFORE you let the data flow in.

Allowing data to slip out is negligent. If you're in the army, or the intelligence community, you get punished for this. It's about time the private sector felt some sort of accountability.
I leave my home with a house sitter. The house sitter throws a kegger, and his guests cause six figures worth of property damage, including stealing the house sitter's laptop.

Who are all the criminal parties here?
You could see if Credit Karma works. I think it is mostly a free interface to Trans Union though.
What's wrong with Rocket.Chat? It looks like it takes some design choices from it.
I address this at the end:

> I also think theres an inherent misunderstanding of the RT score. People look at the score and think this is the quality of the movie, when in reality I think of it as a probability that I would like the movie. A score of 50% doesn't mean the movie has a failing grade, it's that when 100 critics viewed it half the critics enjoyed it and the other half didn't, so there's probably a 50% chance that I'll enjoy the movie.
The law gives them time to try to fix the problem before telling every hacker in the world about it.
Exactly. In the UK we have a National Insurance number, but it's stated over and over again that:

This is not proof of identity.

Anywhere it is referenced it is repeated that it should not be used as proof of identity and not given to anyone as such.

SSNs should be treated the same way, but that would require a culture change. Perhaps having 150m of them 'leaked' will bring about that change. Such a change could also be brought about through legislation making it not legal to ask for SSN as proof of ID (i.e. can only ask for SSN when required for the purposes it is intended for), but legislating such things is likely even further from your culture.
The problem with this is the major reporting bureaus source their information from banks and credit card companies. The data gets out of their hands quickly, and you don't have the option to protect it in the first place.

My opinion is that the only real solution is to internalize the externalities via fines, taxes, or regulation.
I'm curious if FB/Microsoft considered Khronos Neural Network Exchange Format (NNEF) - https://www.khronos.org/nnef?
You are of course entitled to your opinion, but to me it's astonishingly bleak. I can only imagine that whoever wrote the 4th amendment is rolling in their grave now.

Seems cool. If it can use 1/10th of the memory/CPU footprint of the current Slack Atom based client (as your screenshots seem to indicate), then all the better.

Good luck with your project!
Equifax compromised 143M people's Social Security numbers and other data
This is horrendously bad.
Plus stronger regulation of how data is stored. Personal information is valuable - banks have security requirements, why not institutions like this?
I think frequently what people are suggesting is that police should de-escalate in these situations, and that lots of situations that end in A, B or C could be de-escalated if police had any incentive to. Instead we'll just give police officers a whole suite of escalation options so that they're never put in a situation where they have to choose between an escalating over-reaction and de-escalation, they can always pick moderate escalation. Take the tasers away, take the military equipment away, take some of the guns away. Police officers are not soldiers and if, as a police officer, you feel you are forced to assume that any physical contact with a civilian will end in your death then you should not be a police officer.
> Murdering an 18 year old kid for painting a wall is not accountability.

Okay, but I'm talking about police accountability.
Hackers Steal Personal Information of 143M US Consumers from Equifax
It's still hypocritical and insulting to the reader's intelligence.

You could make Obama say anything. He could say something humourous, something that he's never said before. You would have just as impressive of a demo if you had Obama say "I'm a little teapot short and stout..." and then used overlay text to promote yourself. You chose instead to make a video where he promotes your startup.

That is both hypocritical and immoral and not only using his personal likeness but, also the seat of the Presidency of the United States.

This fast and loose way that Lyrebird treats their technology only makes me think that they don't really think about the massive negative potential of the technology and just want to get scale / profitability as fast as possible.
So, 2.2 is out, but the latest docs are tagged as for 2.1 with a note that that was a premature label and 2.1 doesn't actually exist...

Sorry, you need to fill that gap between 'got to investigate' and 'get punched in the face.' You also need to acknowledge the possibility that the alleged perpetrator of the crime simply wishes to escape, even if you don't weight that possibility highly. To assume that an alleged perpetrator's object is to gain control of a police officer's firearm while excluding other possibilities from consideration makes for a bad-faith argument.

No one should ever resist arrest EVER -- just comply, go to the station, argue your case, and hire an attorney. If the police tell you to get in the cuffs, just do it.

Nonsense statements like that open the door to police abuse and invite it right in. A police uniform does not alleviate the wearer of moral responsibility. On the contrary, it creates an incentive for crooked police officers to cover up abuse or even kill people who might testify against them. What if you never make it to the station?
The state government has very recent precedent of subsidizing nonstop flights [1], because it recognizes that they are key to drawing external investment in the city. This year, taxpayers voted to add a new north/south rapid transit line [2]. Maybe more importantly; public transit isn't as important in indy as it is in other cities. Substantially lower cost of living and a more sparse downtown allows driving to be more affordable, the city has some of the best traffic [3] of any major metropolitan area worldwide, and it is very bike friendly [4] with the downtown trails and a growing downtown core.

Er... "excited delirium" is both very real and very serious, a constellation of symptoms due to another underlying process (e.g., drugs, usually of the illicit nature). It can generally be treated well with Ketamine.
Obviously situations like that are immoral and I would never support it, my comment was only addressing people who seem to think a police officer's job is to be a professional wrestler who takes down violent offenders using their hands and a baton.
Their current CEO is not very stellar at all and is displaying characteristics of Apple envy. Maybe they imagine themselves as the better Jobs.

I have a revolutionary solution to this conundrum: don't have all the police officers carry guns. Then police officer doesn't have to worry about person taking his gun, person doesn't worry about getting shot, and they can de-escalate the situation much more easily and quickly.

Seriously, many European countries do this, e.g. the UK. Even in the poorest neighbourhoods in London, which Republicans referred to as "no-go zones" in the last election, regular cops on the beat don't carry.
This is a cultural coincidence, not a causal correlation.
Does anyone know the state of the project to compile Linux Kernel with clang? Does this release help with such a goal?
It's cool to see that much dedication. It's useful when people take the time to summarize knowledge in a book to serve as reference.

But ... I have the feeling that the author, who is relatively new to the field (by his own admission), expanded a lot of formulas and made certain parts of the theory more complicated than it should be.

Look around page 60. There are formulas with 6 summation signs in front of them, with all kinds of little indices floating around. How about page 37 ?

In a way, the whole point about the chain rule (and software libraries that implement it) is that you can stay in "math world" to do the reasoning, and not think about the job of managing the computation.

Same idea with expression as much as possible in terms linear algebra primitives. Matrix multiplication is easier to understand when it's not broken apart into sums whose indices you have to track.
It makes me wonder how they set up their security infrastructure. Were the hackers able to freely access their HSMs? Do they not monitor access?

I agree that it's irrelevant that the guy was so gifted, even if he had been a stupid and awful person he shouldn't be punished for something he didn't do.

What I don't really understand is why he was punished at all. Even according to her account he hasn't committed any crime.

I'm not sure you need stats here though, if the presumption of innocence has been abandoned that is a very serious regardless of how many times it has made a difference so far.
Too big to punish?
