Are you confusing Eclipse-the-IDE with Eclipse-the-Foundation? The Eclipse Foundation is much like the Apache Foundation - the piece of software it was originally named for doesn't have much to do with lots of the projects hosted / owned by the foundation.

> In this case, it's not clear if it's the YouTube account or the Google account that has been flagged for deletion (support articles suggest there is a distinction). Either way, support articles indicate that rationale for the action taken would have been provided to the user.

We've heard a number of stories like this of people who have their youtube videos flagged for various reasons. The lived experience of people who go through it sounds hellish. Their entire digital life on google is suspended and held to ransom by some completely opaque, inscrutable, byzantine process that is not accountable to anyone. There is no real way to appeal, and once deleted there may or may not be any way to recover lost data or have emails sent to your old address forwarded to another account.

If your account was suspended, would you really trust that the knowledge base answers are correct? If you're wrong you'd have no account, no access to your own email address, no power, and no way of contacting anyone at google to help.

If my account was suspended by a machine and couldn't get in touch with a human to help fix it, there's no way I'd continue to trust google's automated processes to get everything figured out. Not when so much is at stake. As someone who's worked at google for over a decade if something happened to your account, you'd be fine - you'd be able to contact someone and get it fixed. But without that recourse, scared paranoia seems pretty reasonable.
I disagree.

First off, as the person above said, you can start the unlocking process long before it's even facing with with touch-id, as you're taking it out of your pocket. With this, this "timer" starts only when it's fully out and facing you.

Next up, in this, it has to be facing you perfectly. You can't unlock it sneakily under the table, you can't do it while someone else is looking at your phone, etc.

Lastly, you still need to manually swipe to actually open the phone, so it's not like you're not using your finger either. If at least you could unlock it without using your hands that would be something.

At the end of the day, I still want to see properly reviews of what the actual successrate is too. It's not all about speed, if it fails 5% of the time, that's extremely annoying.

I agree with the shortcomings of NYT comments you note. But they're at least an order of magnitude better than those at WaPo because they have humans curating them.

I don't read WaPo comments anymore, the signal/noise ratio is too poor. I learn something occasionally from NYT comments.

It's down to an organization's willingness to spend money on quality. NYT spends $ to improve the comment experience, WaPo doesn't.
What legal protections do "security researchers" have to conduct this kind of investigation? After getting into the panel by using the admin/admin default, they continued to click around, clicked into user accounts, exposed passwords, etc. I understand the value of what they're doing (and their own internal policies to not release said data), but as far as I'm aware, there is no law that would protect them if Equifax decided to attempt to get them prosecuted under the Fraud/Abuse Act.

Every time there's a big-name company in the news, all the various security firms seem to go to town seeing who can break into the rest of their systems first. Regardless of intention, it still seems potentially criminal.
And TouchID/FaceID that people use is way better than passcodes they do not because they're a pain in the arse.

I noticed a distinct improvement in the speed of the TouchID unlock going from an iPhone 6 to a 7, which pretty much reduced all friction to me using it. Apple's marketing fluff suggests FaceID will be "twice as fast" as TouchID.
What I'd much rather have is a reasonable development on Android or iOS. I've tried some but it always felt awkward, even with a Bluetooth keyboard. Eventually it we"ll get there as web apps are now fine replacements for desktop apps. Question is when.

Thanks for sharing Kerr's articles! I wasn't familiar with this issue, so I read them, and in my opinion, I think he's dead wrong (and the 3rd Circuit ruling). The argument that by disclosing his password, Doe is only admitting, "I know the password," which is a forgone conclusion, is nonsense. That statement necessarily carries with it a number of additional statements, including "Very few other people (if any) also have this password" by virtue of what a password is, and "I have read/write access to this hard drive," which when coupled with the previous statement, leads to the conclusion "I wrote the material on this hard drive to this hard drive." Kerr's argument is basically "Doe is only admitting to the premise" while ignoring that an entire chain of reasoning necessarily follows from the premise.
Isn't this the decades-old idea of Plan9?

Read your quote. It just means that just because there is a gender gap, we cannot simply assumed there must be sexism.

It is not a statement about a specific case, but a general point on rationality.

And it is undeniably true in the general sense.

This means that if someone wants to convince us there is sexism in a specific case, they must demonstrate that specifically, not just note a lopsided gender ratio and assume the mechanism.
With ChromeOS you can, if you wanted to, sync all of your profile/settings to Google, "power wash" (completely clean) the machine upon shutting down. Then when you reboot syncing everything back to the machine happens upon entering your credentials.
Even for me (a full time Linux guy) Chromebooks have become very attractive since they added Android app support. I can get quite a lot done on my dinky Chromebook over ssh in Termux, without even having to bother with Crouton.
Hey jmarbach, we haven't made any changes to targeting in the last month. The changes described in this post were made 6+ months ago, which means any performance difference you're seeing over the last month are entirely coincidental. The deprecation of our old ads platform didn't involve any changes to the way ads were trafficked on the back-end, it simply turned off our outdated front-end interface for ad buying.
Hm I definitely reported and I wonder if that is counted, I just checked my tax filings, I have 2014 and 2015 available

with Find "8949", as I was unsure of what document that was, I see that I reported a sell of BTC in 2014. I wonder if that was counted.

In 2015 I see a sell reported of Ether, because of the crowdsale selling. (Yes, and this is why I'm not rich). I wonder if that was counted

Orbits of planets were calculated long before General Relativity. I believe we put a man on the moon using newtonian physics. Many types of medicine is successful without us knowing exactly why.

Just because technology that is built on top of science works doesn't mean that it is 100% correct. It isn't that our theories are outright wrong, but they probably still are incomplete or are only approximations.

FWIW I do see organizations building relevance/discovery teams staffed differently than their team for "scaling out a search engine". Usually the relevance team is tasked with anything in the product that matches users to content, whether it be search, recommendations, or other 'discovery' themed functionality.
If it's true that touch id was expected to ship until a couple months ago they may not have found an alternative. If they are expecting touch id to be in next years model I could see them not making face unlock accessible since you can still get new iPhones with touch id. Remember Apple did not make the iPhone accessible until the 3gs, so there's no guarantee that new features will be accessible.
That seems like an unnecessary nitpick, considering Stack Exchange clearly includes a "comment" feature. Would you care to elaborate?

All y'all is used (rarely) for emphasis, not to pluralize. "I got presents for y'all!" is plural. "I got presents for all y'all!!" is also plural. It's just emphasizing the number of people to underscore, say, generosity.

That being said, not everyone in DFW talks that way. Many prefer a more subdued midwestern style. The metroplex is full of transplants from all over, so there isn't a lot of pressure to talk like a local or something.
Oh, Americans. I am European and took 'European ethnicities' to refer to actual Europeans. We don't mix all that much.
He is saying that a gender gap, by itself, is not evidence of sexism. A gender gap alone doesn't prove sexism. It doesn't mean that there is no sexism. Sexism can be shown in other ways. But he is pushing back against a prevalent mindset that society is a priori sexist until we have equal representation everywhere.

Sheesh, there's always someone with this take on foundations. I've heard the exact same phrase many times with "Apache" (where I used to be very active) instead of "Eclipse". :\

Large projects tend to end up under the various foundations because large projects have lots of common problems that the foundations help solve and it doesn't make sense to reinvent the wheel every time (e.g. by starting your own foundation).

Once there, lots of stakeholders are more comfortable committing lots of resources because the governance rules are predictable and well understood. So the projects tend to cater to those stakeholders, putting a higher emphasis on backwards compatibility and evolving more through extension than through revolutionary, breaking changes.

Projects which go to foundations live for a long time. And they don't stop innovating, either -- they just innovate more at the edges than at the core.

> If I was given an infinite supply of free heroin and all the time in the world to sell it to my neighbours, friends, family, workmates and anyone else in the locality then I would struggle to make a sale.

I suspect you are being naive.

While heroin isn't a popular drug, it's not exactly rare either. Especially among the "artist" community, it has always seemed to be fairly common. Guitar players seem to particularly gravitate to it--and not just the "hard core" ones. (See: Emily Remler http://www.allmusic.com/artist/emily-remler-mn0000800814/bio...)

The war on drugs did NOT help. I remember one musician saying (paraphrased) "They lied to us about pot and it was fine. So we assumed they were lying about heroin--WRONG! Heroin is every bit as addictive and dangerous as they claim."
Yeah it's probably out there if you could magically aggregate all of the video surveillance footage in the world.

I think a reasonable implementation of this would be a "manual connections only" mode, where Bluetooth is always kept off until you enter the Bluetooth connection menu, at which point it turns on and scan, and connects only to the specific device(s) you tell it to connect to. And then once the last Bluetooth device is disconnected, Bluetooth is deactivated once again (perhaps after a short delay to allow for reestablishment of a shaky connection).
Cross between an RSS-reader and a search engine - it lets you subscribe to a topic instead of a site, so that you don't have to manage hundreds of subscriptions, and if a new discussion pops up somewhere on the web that's relevant to your interests, it'll find it and let you know. As forums get boring or off-topic and new ones spring up, it adjusts automatically, so you don't need to do the "Does anyone know of other places on the web like X?" dance.

Still under development, but drop me an e-mail if you (or anyone else reading this) is interested in beta-testing. I'm starting out e-mail first, so the initial UI is just that you get a daily digest of links & snippets to threads related to your interests.
Just devils advocate here, but could it be you're the minority of that demographic?

I'm libertarian, and vote all over the map, but likely lean more liberal. I know plenty of well educated, employed conservatives. But, a bulk of voters in Trump's corner are not you. It's like going to a Free Speech rally. Some people are likely there just for speech, but if Neo-Nazis show up, and cause a ruckus, they're the face of the movement. Same goes for Antifa and taking over other peaceful protests. So, I think the disenfranchised, middle of the country, uneducated, unemployed person is simply the face of the cause. Unfortunately, some people only see things at face value.

The term "deep state" or "state within state" originally meant very organized shadow governments in countries where government agencies (usually security agencies) don't respond to the civilian political leadership and can have power over them.

FBI director J. Edgar Hoover was example of single man holding some amount of 'deep state' power.

There justified is fear that increased secrecy in security apparatus in US has started acting in more autonomous way. In the current government the power over WH likely comes mostly from competence difference.

While traveling recently, I was in Billings was discussing with a bartender about the local dialect and where various boundaries of production were and pulled up this map.

Both the pin / pen and the on / dawn / don differences between how I pronounced words and he she pronounced words were evident - it was rather interesting and being able to hear the difference.

Btw, its a bubbler. http://shop.wisconsinhistory.org/productcart/pc/Bubbler-Magn... and http://csumc.wisc.edu/wep/map.htm

While listening to A Way With Words ( https://www.waywordradio.org ) some time back I there was a woman calling in about a word (Pitch in) the caller didn't know and apparently everyone in the town knew. Turned out to be a local dialect word choice that the hosts were able to pin down to small pockets of townships in Indiana. The episode is https://www.waywordradio.org/regional-term-pitch-in/

Great and obscure content --- that you'd most want a search engine to find, tends to be at most risk. For one example, I've noticed that finding information on obscure electronics part numbers has gotten much harder, and the search results are getting "diluted" with useless "fillter" results that don't even contain all the words you're searching for.

Example queries I've had poor luck with recently:

TVN_DELETEITEM recursive (count how many first-page results contain TVN_DELETEITEM)
ITU T.800 (count how many are about T.800 and not E.800 or P.800 or X.800 or...)

Can you please cite sources where Apple marketed TouchId this way? At most Apple was trying to get people to secure their own phones to start with.
I get that all of this is valid in theory, but has there been even one single case of a thief, criminal or law enforcement organization actually using biometric data to unlock a phone?

Obviously past events are no guarantee of future, but still — most advisories like this frankly come across as fearmongering.
I think we've gone well past the equilibrium point between ease of use and computer literacy, to the point that we are now disempowering users rather than helping them. If someone record a video on their phone and want to share it we know it's just a file on a disk, but most users don't, to them it's just a video that appears in a list in an app. We know a file can be copied, modified, shared, etc, but all they can do is what the share button on the phone's UI allows them to do, like upload to youtube. Even if they had a youtube clone owned by themselves or a friend they wouldn't know how to upload it.

I saw it with my mother going through photos she took on her digital camera, she's a slave to the software that came with the camera and the features it provides. She doesn't access the file, she goes through a UI to view the images and manipulate them. If she wants to post them to facebook she does that through the UI. When the camera dies and is replaced she has to relearn a different software package whereas if she'd managed her files through explorer like we probably do then the knowledge would be transferable.

Unless we start teaching computer fundamentals better and expect people to apply that knowledge to do things then we are sliding head first into the world of digital serfdom.
