Eh, that's like arguing that Linux was a viable alternative for the everyday consumer during the Microsoft days. While you _could_ do that in a practical sense most people don't have the know-how (as you mentioned in your reply).
Everything that's in this piece that's true is on the Tech Solidarity guide. What isn't, is false.

https://techsolidarity.org/resources/basic_security.htm

In particular:

* Do NOT install antivirus on your computers. Antivirus software is absurdly dangerous. The closest you'll come to benign AV is Microsoft's, but that's an asymptotic kind of safety.

* Do NOT go out of your way to funnel your traffic through a commercial VPN provider. If you need a VPN for your NGO or journalism outlet, let me or someone else trustworthy know, and we'll set up Algo for you. No commercial VPN provider is safe for at-risk users.

* Do NOT EVER use Tor Browser. It's the least safe browser you can use: a lagged fork of Firefox for which whole classes of security bugs are potentially WONTFIX'd, and also the only browser that goes out of it's way to collect high-value targets.

* Do NOT install Adium or Pidgin to speak to people over OTR. It's difficult to find exploitable bugs in libotr, but it is not difficult to find them in libpurple. Use Signal, WhatsApp, or Wire.

* You would have to be out of your fucking mind to install mobile AV.
> the proper place to solve this is through the courts

Solve what? The question of whether he should be imprisoned or face other legal penalties, yes. But it's a mistake to conflate that with dealings with Marquis-Boire in general.
Zuck is no Claus Spreckels, Lorrin Thurston, or John L. Stevens (do I really have to review the history for you?), but he didn't have to hire those lawyers to invent that novel abuse of the courts. An abuse, incidentally, that is an option for rich haole assholes and not for the average native Hawaiian. This "rich people must take every unethical-but-legal advantage they can, otherwise the sky will fall" idea would embarrass a decent person.

[EDIT:] That's how threaded discussion works. Greenbean responded to me, then I responded to him. Your misunderstanding stemmed from the fact that like many who would maintain racist advantages, you've forgotten that the past is still with us.

I am hoping more of those involved in technology come forward. I've heard horrible stories from others, and tech isn't immune to this national cleaning house that is long overdue.

It's a strange sort of idealism that denies the victims of sexual abuse the agency to make their own decisions about how to relate those abuses to their peers.

The US is not a high bar for comparison of wealth inequality. In fact wealth in equality in the US is a problem, and by any measures Columbia is either about the same or much worse.

The goal is places like Denmark.

South America in general has serious inequality problems.
I would argue that, it's a high bar to meet to convict a guilty person. But the lowest possible bar to avoid convicting innocent people. At least in theory.

I don't know anything about your business, but just some quick comments: I went to the site, easily saw the "Get started" button. Clicked on it, there is a landing page that doesn't add any value in my opinion - why is it there? Clicking "start" takes me to a "fill in info" page, I don't know how much this is going to cost me nor what I'm signing up for.

I think clicking on the "get started" should go to a page that tells me how much it's going to be (preferrably 30-day free trial) and the obligation terms ("cancel anytime"?) and then just ask for the email to get started. I saw some other people made similar comment about just collecting the email elsewhere.

Good luck!
Thank you! I was about to say the exact same thing. First the act of rape takes away the victim's agency. Then random commenters on this site are presumptuous enough to try and take it away as well.
This is another example of society putting morality above practical considerations. The result is cutting our nose off to spite our face. The moral calculus is: people who welch on their debts are cheating. Cheaters must be punished. The most effective way to punish someone who hasn't actually committed a crime is to strip them of their "privilege" to work. The net result is to make it even harder for them to pay their debt, which nobody actually wants.

This is not an isolated example. Another is the way in which "cheating" is discouraged in school. If one kids convinces another kid to do their homework for them, that's called cheating and it's punished. But in fact the ability to persuade other people to work for you and negotiate a deal where both sides feel like they've come out ahead is one of the most valuable skills a person can develop. What the education system calls "cheating" is often budding entrepreneurship, and it really ought to be encouraged. But it isn't.
What do you mean by "unbound"? Some Python:

>>> class Foo:
>>>	def __init__(self, x): self.x = x
...
...	def bar(self): print('x =', self.x)
...
...
>>> f = Foo(23)
>>> b = f.bar
>>> b()
x = 23

Note that when you extract the method from the object as a callable, it hangs onto the right self. Same deal as Java:

class Foo {
private int x;
Foo(int x) { this.x = x; }
void bar() { System.out.println("x = " + x); }
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
Foo f = new Foo(23);
Runnable b = f::bar;
b.run(); // prints x = 23
}

> They are based on the zeitgeist and are always changed to make as many users as happy as possible to make the company look good.

What you call the zeitgeist, I call the current political climate gained after decades of struggle. Of course any political decision represents some value in a certain historical context. But would you rather Twitter's values represented some foreign climate?

> Is it not an empirical fact that hate crimes against white have risen sharply in the US and that blacks are using violence at a much larger degree against whites than the opposite?

It is an empirical fact that women's complaints against male harassers and the ensuing consequences are rising, but women are still, factually, by far the more marginalized group. Blacks are still by far the marginalized group, and I am not aware of violence by blacks being met with any leniency whatsoever. In fact, it seems to me that it receives a harsher response from law enforcement.

> there is most likely no studies on the fact that white hate speech on twitter increase violence either, right?

Violence is not the only thing we care about. There are certainly many studies about racist speech increasing the marginalization of minorities.
Ditto. (Cept more like $700 for me).

Apple is currently selling 8 models across 4 lines (6s, 7, 8, X and SE), and the iPhone 6 line is still being sold by carriers.
This is pretty much the first time when 8 primary models are available from Apple + at least 2 models are still being sold.

If the model trend continues to grow as it has been since the iPhone 6, there might be actually a need for device model emulation for development...
Chernobyl is still in Ukrane (near the boarder with Belarus) and not Russia (yet). At the time it was part of the Soviet Union, but Ukraine has always been a bread basket of Central Europe.

Fundamentally, Chernobyl is a much larger (order of magnitude) event with 6 tons of radioactive material burned and released. Frankly, for all the coverage Fukushima gets, it's amazing that you rarely hear about the associated tsunami and the damage it caused... 22k direct casualties with 2.5k still missing, 230k people still displaced in 2015 with ~400k structures destroyed.

Day-to-day is a lot like other jobs but projects are better managed than I have previously experienced resulting in less meetings for developers. Development can be faster-paced as a direct result.

News of $shinynew is discussed daily by developers (e.g.: React's license, React 16, Vue, etc.) but projects themselves tend to be more conservative as a matter of company policy. I can say the average developer on my team is more capable than the average developer at other companies I have worked with previously. People who are unmotivated will be moved to projects nobody wants (my observation)

Regarding editors, environments, tech events, HN, StackOverflow, etc.: participation is likely there but self-identification is a huge no-no

TLDR: It's not all rainbows and there are institutional challenges, but the tech side is not naive
Regarding web extensions like Adblock or others, this seems to be quite risky I'm using because the developers of the plug-in could get hacked and silenly release a version that captures your password fields.

Are we really ok giving full read/write access to our webpages from companies we know nothing about?

I'm considering removal of all web extensions that have read/write access.

Cue fun time with etymology: understand translated to Latin and back yields support, which is significant, kinda, because support vectors are one model of machine intelligence, while DNA is basically a vector, in terms of transcription, or a matrix even, looking closer at the base molecules.

Strange, I didn't see in the article any suggestions that this chip had full access to all data flowing throughout the computer. Almost as though it's not at all similar in any way to the Intel ME discussions.
With books that teach a language or advanced stuff about a language, like, say, C# in Depth, I read from start to finish, without actually doing any exercises or really anything else.

I trust my memory enough to rely on remembering that "C# in Depth was talking about this thing", when I run into something IRL. Then I go back to the book and see what it had to say.

Lives on in Lua. Everything I want to do in C++, I can do with Lua instead. Plus: still C under it all.
If you're going to go with a functional approach (which he introduces in the section "How to avoid 'this'"), instead of creating a brand-new function for each particular piece of data (e.g., setName, setGreeting) -- which will result in a ton of extra code -- just use a simple, generic assoc function.

Not but it was in the USSR at the time which many people incorrectly equate with Russia today. To me it's almost ok to say "Russia" when talking about things back then. So long as you don't say Chernobyl is in Russia today.

Index of .onion domains
Note that while Qubes OS uses full-disk encryption, it runs on Xen, which does not support hibernate.

This means that, if you use this OS on a laptop, you'll be vulnerable to cold-boot attacks, even after you close your lid, unless you configure it to shutdown on lid close. (I.e., if a highly skilled adversary steals your laptop then, even if your laptop lid is closed, they will be able to read your RAM and therefore decrypt your entire hard drive.)

Despite the major security implications, it doesn't sound like a fix will be implemented any time soon. [1]

Testing as code
An assembly is closer to a JAR. It is a single unit which can contain multiple namespaces. However, in the Java runtime, the package is the top-level organizational unit. In .NET, it's the assembly. The fully qualified type name in .NET contains the assembly, namespace, and type name. In Java, it's just the package and type name.
Then it's a plain cost-benefit analysis.

What you're missing are the three factors at play in cost:

1. The tax rate itself

2. The cost of avoiding it

3. The cost of getting caught

We have control of 1 and 3 not just 1, and we can exert influence on 2. The double-Irish hole is closing.

Innocent until proven guilty (in a court of law) has been put to the test and found lacking in the current wave of revelations. The main reason for this seems to be that too many appeal institutions have been protecting perps, out of some notion that such abuse is not important enough (or something!). Complaints have not been taken sufficiently seriously to start serious investigations leading to serious consequences. This is the situation which actually legitimizes public shaming of the perps, and which will allow victims (women mostly) to get a fairer hearing moving forwards, and not continue to be told to keep quiet and endure, or worse. And so we can hopefully expect to return to upholding 'innocent until proven guilty' once these (seemingly new) moral standards have taken hold even in places of authority. Because that is one of the hallmarks of a civilized society.

Wouldn't you want the keys on the computer that's going to use them? And then, wouldn't you want to make it hard to copy the unencrypted private keys?

(I'm assuming we're talking about SSH keys.)

OTOH, it could be neat to run an ssh agent in a key-holding qube and forward that to whatever qubes need to use your SSH keys, using `ssh-add -c` so that key use must be confirmed in the key-holding qube.
Consider an extremely high-dimensional feature space [not just genes, but transcripts/isoforms (differently diced-up versions of RNAs with different functions), hosts of active-but-not-transcribed-into-proteins RNAs, and dynamic regulation through interactions] which updates a reinforcement learning algorithm one epoch per generation (~20-30 years), and you'll see why it's far from optimized.

Messing with HBO intellectual property just to make a joke? It isn't only a "silly risk", it is, or it appears to be, the expression of a completely unprofessional set of values. I cannot avoid imagining many things I don't like about the personality, culture and ethics of people who would do that.
That is reasonable for individuals. But it's on here, in Google, lots of other sites -- millions of people who had never heard of him now form an opinion of him based on this article (or just the comments, or the headline). It's probably career destroying.

1) It's a huge battery hog.
2) It's a real pain to run a non rolling release distro (i.e. Arch). Some dependency is going to try and upgrade itself that can't and it will brick your whole distro. Even being locked to a specific release proved a bit of a pain. It just adds a lot of complexity to your day to day operations (i.e. opening a program is a tiny bit more complicated) that turned out to be a huge drain for me.

I'm not arguing that x86 will ever really be secure. However you handwaved a hypothetical "secure processor architecture". Realistically the way you do that is by making a very simple CPU, however, that would then be too slow to be usable for many applications. As a consequence nobody is doing so.

SGX is at least a middle ground - it integrates the memory access checks very deep into the memory access circuitry, sufficiently deep to block all other privilege levels on the CPU. Whilst there may well be implementation flaws in SGX itself so far most attacks have been mounted via side channels, not directly exploiting CPU bugs.

In this sense my original statement was correct. Intel is pushing secure CPUs forward more than any other vendor.

Aeron. Get one from Craigslist for $300-$400, sell it for the same amount in 5 years if you get sick of it. I did that with a size C after I lost some weight and found a size B more comfortable.

From a TCO standpoint, it’s cheaper than buying an IKEA chair once every 5 years, or an OfficeMax chair...ever. And, during the whole time you own it, it’s a nicer experience than either other option.

Steelcase and HumanScale chairs are also similarly acquireable and resealable, but the Aeron is the one people know the name of, plus it’s a bit of a nod to dot-com bust startups in the Bay Area and a nod to chair design in general (read about Eames and the history of Herman Miller if you care).

* It does not work (bug in node Dockerfile)
* It requires extra builds (while users expect `docker-compose up` to _just work_)
* There's no tester container to curl something to ensure me it works
* The docker files are half baked - ex. not using layers correctly (npm install called after code COPY), ex. `npm build` redundantly called, ex. using ubuntu:latest rather than golang:onbuild... and so on.

And yes, I guess I could fix all that... submit a PR, and be declared the king of HN. But today I rather just complain.
