Agreed. Was on /r/politics, /r/news and /r/worldnews and posting anything critical of Clinton or pro-Bernie was immediately down-voted and called names.

Even here posted about her husband's "gift" from Qatar for $1M with a link to Wikileaks and got called a Russian shill just the other day. One user started digging through my comment history found my post from 340 days ago to prove that I spoke Russian, therefore I am Russian, therefore I was working for them. Yes, it was pretty creepy.

As for Bernie (an unknown leftist old white guy) and Trump (a TV personality) it is more interesting to look at it as a phenomenon. They are both a manifestation of the same thing -- a deep dissatisfaction with the current political establishment. On paper they don't have many common positions, but they do have that thing in common.

I think Clinton lost many who would have voted for her because they just weren't excited enough to put their shoes on and go and vote. Mass media and friends were assuring them for months that Trump has no chance of winning. Here is the apparatus she relied on to get her elected which in the end I think was one of the main reasons she lost.

It is really saddening to see how the Democrats turned immediately to anti-Trump rallies and the media is talking about how many scoops of ice-creams he eats and continues with their Russian narrative and wasting an opportunity to capitalize on that enthusiasm and energy of Bernie's followers. If you think about, the fascinating there is not that he didn't win, but how close he got despite the media blackout. Not realizing that, and capitalizing on it, will ensure another failure in the future and figures like Trump will keep winning the election.

Therefore, white people have a responsibility to actively work to level the playing field for the people of color who are disadvantaged and threatened by racism and racial inequality.

It looks like, yes, yes they are wanting white people to (if not apologise) but make amends for historical grievances.

Exactly. If they don't fit you'll have issues, or will need silicone covers or something, but if they do fit it's great.

Yes indeed, and that is exactly my point. Humans just keep finding new and more complicated things to care about. Math doesn't converge.

I think there’s an elegance to basically keeping the existing design and just chopping the cables off, even if it is showy. Certainly beats the alternative “black amorphous blob” design of some of the others.

I have an S8 (plus) and I'd love to upgrade to the Pixel 2. I am so tired of Samsung trying to replace every piece of functionality with their own. I had to go find Google's "Android messaging" app in the Play store - just their standard SMS app - to replace the Samsung stock one because it kept opening URLs in "Samsung Internet", their version of the browser. The Samsung keyboard is awful, and I can't seem to find a decent replacement. And don't get me started on f'ing Bixby.

> Now try to take pictures on holiday
> I prefer a few 256 GB microSD-cards

My immediate reaction to this is, "holy crap!"

Using a 12MP camera, each image you take would roughly be 2-3MB. Assuming the higher end of 3MB (and only 230GB available per card), that's ~79,000 photos per card.

Since "a few" typically means three or more, let's assume three, that's ~240,000 photos. If it's a typical holiday/vacation, that's likely 2-3 weeks -- let's assume it's three, which comes out to be 21 days. Achieving ~11,000 photos per day during a holiday is quite a feat...

The single thing you need to do to learn vim is to download the ViEmu cheatsheet[0], print it out, and stick it on the wall where you can see it. Printing it out is mandatory - you need to be able to see it without switching windows.

> So don't give them one.

If one exists then they'll use it without your permission. Or refuse service to anyone who doesn't provide it. Which means it needs to not exist.

> Doesn't mean the government should have issues identifying people when needed (for government services, for example).

Any government agency is free to give you an ID card used to identify you to that agency in the future, the same as any private entity -- but then companies can't require you to have one because not all citizens interact with any given agency. And then nothing stops you from closing any account in good standing and reopening a new one with a different ID number.

Correlating every interaction you have with government is not a feature. The IRS does not need to know who has applied for a hunting license or vice versa. The FBI should not have access to the list of books you've checked out from the public library. These things should all be separate from each other.

Car safety's definitely an issue too. For many years governments have basically blocked research into making cars safer for pedestrians. I'm hoping that's going to change, since it appears that terrorists are finally waking up to the possibilities. On the other hand, we recently had a really ugly terrorist incident at London Bridge, which is somewhere I go most days. The good news is the terrorists only had knives. People died, including police officers, but the death toll would have been much worse if they'd even had small caliber handguns.

Meanwhile, in other news, a gunman walked into a nursery in Liverpool today. Luckily no-one was hurt: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/sep/27/police-hunt-...

Actually, I'm lucky to work remotely, allowing me to travel around in Asia on a pretty much weekly basis. I'm currently in Thailand where they offer free, unlimited data (accessible pretty much anywhere) for only $9 for a month. I was also recently in Vietnam where the WiFi at all the hotels were crazy fast. A great thing about my national SIM card is also that in most western countries, I'm free to use it as much as I want with no extra charge. So far I haven't had any connection problems anywhere during my travels in Northern Europe, Asia and USA.

I've yet to encounter a situation where I ran out of storage (and I take thousands of pictures and a few videos whenever I visit some sightseeing place). Sometimes I even go 2-3 full battery charges (using powerbanks) where all the battery is spent on photos+chatting+uploading, and as long as I click 'free up device storage' under the Photos app then I'll never get maxed out.

Another great benefit of this is that I can easily use great phone covers like LifeProof without having to deal with removing and adding the cover (this is truly a pain in the ass when using the LifeProof cover - not sure if there are any other great and slick phone covers that makes it easier and convenient to take it off/on while also providing great protection for the phone). In any case, I can't imagine ending up in a situation with no wifi, no data, and the need to take more than 2k photos before obtaining access to decent internet, and I'd like to think that I have traveled a lot, especially in underdeveloped countries and cities.

It annoys my wife. She can't use the earbuds that came with her phone to listen to anything on her iPad, b/c it only came with a dongle going the other direction (for connecting standard headphones to the iPhone). When we're in the car she can't charge & use the aux cable at the same time. Both of these could possibly be solved with 3rd party dongles, but it's silly to have to pay $20-30 extra for that.
I enjoyed playing around with Pharo a few years back, and often look at what else the people working on it have been thinking of lately.

Having said that, the PharoJS website mentioned in the article could use some love, I just get an unstyled webpage[0]. Now, I love avoiding website bloat as much as the next guy, but from the point of view of a web developer who might be interested in exploring what Pharo and Smalltalk in general might have to offer, that seems a bit too minimal.

Amber, by comparison, runs a full SmallTalk on the website itself, which is pretty cool[1]. Doesn't seem to have maintained momentum beyond 2014 though.

I used to agree, but after seeing how easily versioning of schemas, procedures etc in conventional databases can turn into a clusterfuck I have changed my mind.

How much of this is due to the near-slave working conditions and compensation that imported manual laborers in Saudi Arabia have to deal with?
I may be wrong, but here's my current understanding.

I believe Git CAN check the validity of sha1 hashes (I read the source a few years ago and have a very tiny git commit) using git fsck, which I believe kernel.org does nightly. It just doesn't do so automatically with every commit or whatever. But you can set up a test in your server, I believe, if that's important to you, either watching the files, or checking pushes which I believe github does. So that's not the issue.

It's sha-1 collision attacks that are a theoretical issue.

My understanding of the currently known SHA-1 attack is that it requires binary data (hence PDF files for the example) and requires you to control both the original file and the subsequent file. So an attack would have to generate an apparently innocent file and a malicious file both of which have a binary block, insert the innocent file into the repo, and then somehow, most likely outside of a git push given mitigations like github's, replace that innocent file with the malicious file.

Now to your question, checking in the PDF files from the proof of the attack in git doesn't work, because git also adds header info. And generating the files requires ~ $100,000 dollars worth of ec2 time, or the equivalent, so nobody has gone through the trouble of generating files that allow this specifically to prove it for git. Bit it's definitely possible, and cheap enough for a criminal organization or a state agency to do. Just because someone hasn't done it for git specifically shouldn't mean that the attack isn't possible, just that security researchers don't have unlimited funds, and the existing proof, while not specific to git shows the issue generally applies.

Last I saw, the git mailing list was debating sha3-256 and BLAKE vs SHA-256. There's some indication that SHA-256 may get intel HW support, and that may be useful for speed with really really big git repos (like microsoft's apparently). SHA-256 doesn't have an attack on it that's known but unlike ShA3-256 (and I believe BLAKE since it's a stream cipher) SHA-256 is a block cipher, so it's not stateful. That means, while no known attack exists, theoretically if an attack existed you could corrupt a specific block in a similar manner to SHA-1. But SHA-256 has been much more extensively tested for issues while SHA3-256 is newer... it was created ostensibly as a backup in case the current known safe standard of crypto like SHA-256 is attackable.

There are some issues with SHA-256 being used in repos that have signed SHA-1 hashes already, in terms of mapping SHA-256 to SHA-1 hashes without borking the signing. Obviously if you change the underlying structure of signed stuff to store a new hash, it changes the hash.

My personal thought would be to implement SHA-256 and SHA3-256 as options simultaneously, as they are both NIST standards, make SHA-256 the standard so big repos can be as fast as possible.

I am not a crypto expert, or a git expert though, so if I'm wrong, please correct me. Being wrong means I get to learn stuff and that's great!

Easy, cheap, and scalable.

There really is, as far as I know, no way to cheaply verify identify of millions of people, particularly over the internet or the phone. These questions don't actually do that, but they probably put up a good enough show for regulators and the law. At the end of the day, that's all these companies want.

Also, credit card companies are incompetent. I've have many variations of my name on my credit reports. Infuriatingly, one of them is (my first name) NULL (my last name). The credit reporting agencies refuse to remove it because some creditor keeps reporting it. They also refuse to tell me which creditor.
Many (most? all?) modern smartphones are designed to be listening at all times too.

I don’t see how it’s a logical fallacy to point out that there’s another device with the same capablilities that most of the complainers don’t give a second thought to. I really don’t understand how the risk from something like Google Home is any higher than the risk from a smartphone.

One thing I've found really really useful is handling multiple google users over multiple google sites.

I want youtube & google music to only use my personal account, so I never need to switch accounts, so google music and youtube open in their own container where only my personal account is logged in.

I want gmail and calendar to use my work account, so they open in the default container and automatically use my work google user.

I know that you can set your default google account by logging into it first, but I specifically don't want one default, I want different defaults for different google services, and that use case is handled beautifully by containers.

Because anything that can be misused will be.

I’m sure there’s a law with someone’s name that states that. But just in case it hasn’t been claimed yet, I’m proposing that we call it the fuck you law. Because the next time someone comes to me to ask me to fix their trello to zappier to email to google sheets setup they use as a project management tool, I want to be able to say, “Fuck you and there’s a law that says so.”
I also think the situations where I'd find useful this kind of translations are when I'm not in my home country which most likely means my data plan does not work or is very expensive, which makes it less useful than it sounds at first.

It's not a completely crazy idea. Building transmission infrastructure to connect remote solar farms to load centers can be a significant part of the project cost and timeline. Crypto-mining on a detached solar farm could export its financial value over a low-capacity wireless data link instead of heavy wires and towers. It might have more siting flexibility than projects that plan to deliver electricity to existing load centers. Of course it would just intensify the red queen's race among the crypto-miners.
