You're treating the question of "is Kaspersky spyware" in the sense of criminal law, requiring proof of guilt before enforcing punishment.

The grandparent was treating it in the sense of security analysis: requiring proof of safety before granting trust.

I know which paradigm I'd pick before installing an trusted piece of software that can literally snoop on the whole system. But, y'know, whatever. You be you.

Basically: almost the whole of the Russian economy has been subverted to serve the needs of Putin's government. What are the chances that Kaspersky alone has not? Seems low enough to maybe look elsewhere for your AV needs.
I believe that many compilers have an intermediate step that looks like a stack based language.
Be sure you like finished fretboards before buying a new Rickenbacker. There are unfinished fretboard models--some 620's and some walnut ones--but they are the exception.

I love my 360/6, but all the other guitars you list have unfinished fretboards.
"Today Linux is everywhere, with modified versions in various operating systems – macOS, Android, google. com/chromebook/">Chrome – or running countless corporate networks and government servers."

By the way it is written it seems the author doesn't know the difference between an operating system, a website, a piece of hardware and a browser. Moreover, there's not a single bit of Linux in either MacOS or Chrome.

Kudos to him to the switch, but making such errors in a public article can do more harm than good.
I'm aware you're under surveillance. I'm skeptical that it would be able to maintain the connection the entire time you're in the store. For example, what if you changed clothing?

The Pikachu example, I'd argue is even easier than people wearing regular clothing due to the fact that it's unusual.
It's not crazy, it's what you do when you make software that's intended for lay users and is a big target for criminal activity. Us "power users" are not the people that are the primary concern.
I am not sure I follow your line of reasoning. It is obvious that Kaspersky does not advertise itself in such a way, and the average consumer probably has no idea the company is even based out of Russia.

Who cares if Putin personally calls the shots to the leaders of the company? There are a thousand shades of grey, for instance: Kaspersky knowledgeably allowing backdoors about which they could later feign ignorance.

I don’t trust US, Chinese, or Russian software. Big companies with access to sensitive data invariably become targets, and are only allowed to exist peacefully with the blessing of their masters.
They're probably similar software-wise...but the Nvidia GPU Cloud is a docker container registry, so you can pull the docker image and use nvidia-docker to run it. Containers are easier to move around across cloud providers (AWS, Azure, Nimbix, etc...), or even to your local machine, so you don't need to manually configure (and sometimes compile from scratch) a whole slew of complex software packages. The Nvidia GPU cloud is maintained by NVIDIA themselves, so you know they have the configuration just right for optimal performance on their GPU hardware, wherever you choose to use it.
I just found this neat little bot thanks to Reddit.

You can text "resist" to 504-09 and it'll ask you some questions about your name and where you live, show you your reps, and give you options for messaging them. All totally free. Although I do not know much about the organization holding your name and address if that is a concern to you. Seems pretty neat and is funded by donations.

The nice thing about this is it's easy enough to do in an open office layout where a phone call can be a bit more of a hassle. I do like phone calls for getting across more in depth points though. And of course since you're actually talking to someone you can learn additional information about your reps views.

Here's the bot's page [0] and the original reddit comment [1].

I'd say the expected value is almost certainly higher for an employee career, assuming some financial discipline. After 10 years so in the industry, you should be able to get $100k/year, more in high expense areas. That's $5.8k/month after taxes (assume 30%). Assuming you are single, at $1k/month rent, $300/month food, and $700/month for other things, you have $3.8k/month left over. That's about $45k/year you can save, say $50k for easy math. So in 20 years, you can save $1 million, buy some large-cap stock at 3% dividend and have $30k/year for free (more if you buy a higher-yield utility-type stock like AT&T or Verizon). But the stock market grows by 6 - 8%, on average. If you invest in large, "safe" companies, or in an S&P 500 index fund, at 7%, you'll double your money in 10 years, so you'll end up with $2 million (I did the math on a spreadsheet: yearN = yearN-1 * 1.07 + $50k). That's $60k/year at age 50 (not including 401k matching, and assuming that ages 20 - 30 are years of profligate spending with no saving), about as risk-free as you get.

Compare that with a statistical 90% of failure starting a company, but frequently resulting the loss of the founder's savings due to having invested it in the company. Basically the startup should give at least $50k/year of increase (above the cost of living), plus a 7%/year growth, so for two years doing a startup, you need to walk away with a little over $100k. At a 90% failure rate, you need to exit at $1 million for the expected value to break even. If you are not the sole owner and/or with VC funding it will need to be even higher. (If you are an early employee getting 1% or something you'd need about a $1 billion exit for a positive expected value.) That's some pretty uncompelling math. It gets even worse if you have a family.
XKCD has cool comic[1] about IRC.

Uhh, GIF only supports 256 colors per frame. I'm not sure what you mean. "Accuracy" of color is more affected by monitor calibration than the actual format (ignoring embedded color profiles used by photographers).

Compiler IRs are often based on reflecting expression DAGs rather than manipulating a finite register set or an infinite stack.
It's not over-regulation to require plumbers to be certified by a competent agency, and those regulations are usually in place as a result of uncertified people taking advantage of the poor. They are an effect, not a cause.

For example, terra cotta sewer lines still exist in a lot of places. They are old, have been invaded by roots (and thus are going to need disproportionately more attention than modern lines), and fragile. An inexperienced or careless plumber with typical snaking equipment can easily damage these sewer pipes, costing homeowners tens of thousands of dollars.

State certification helps to ensure that the plumbers that show up know how to deal with these systems and can lose their right to work in the industry if they're careless.

More generally, I see this sentiment a lot, especially on tech forums, where regulation is somehow a thing that happens all by itself and it's the enemy of the poor, while we're surrounded by mountains of evidence exactly to the contrary.

After reading these comments, I basically don't want to upgrade. I've been running Classic Theme Restorer for years to get rid of whatever the latest craze in GUI design is. I like my address bar for addresses and my search bar for searches. I love my tree style tabs. I like having a fair amount of control over my browser.

For a few years now, I've had the feeling that Firefox was actively trying to get rid of me as a user. With every new version, the user is less and less in control. It claims to be privacy-conscious, but runs Google Analytics. It tries to gather data behind my back. It's missing so many switches and toggles that I had to install a Privacy Settings extension simply to make the thing behave.
Um, you give them your attention when you click their link. They aren't entitled, you gave it away.
Sort of a weird article, talking about the disappearance and the hunt and the worry without actually talking about what the boat is or what its crew does: this is a diesel-electric attack submarine, designed deliberately to evade detection and sink other ships with torpedoes.

They routinely operate without contact for days at a time, and have limited means of signaling a mayday situation. Pretty much everyone recognizes that when these things run into trouble, they may very well simply disappear.

So, it's a tragedy. But, not really an unforseen one.

I presume you can check your cart via the app before checking out... in terms of overcharging, how do you know when you’re overcharged at the store when the cashier checks you out if you have more than 10 or so items? Do you remember all the prices of each item?

You know what I find convenient? Cash. You just take it out of your wallet and hand it over in exchange for goods. No tracking, no receipt emails, no machine learning of my behavior to figure out when my partner is pregnant or whatever, no extra apps, no facial recognition, no 2-4% charge for businesses that only doesn't apply if you're an international monopoly.

Oh, my phone is out of batteries. Guess I'll just give up and head home.

Oops, looks like a hurricane/forest fire/proletarian uprising has knocked out local infrastructure. (Luckily, this almost never happens anymore!) Man, it would be great if we had a medium of exchange that would work under these adverse conditions. Guess I'll just barter my Harry's razors and other hipster goods to get some formula for my baby!
To be clear, I didn't mean that I want React-the-library baked into every platform. I do think that React-the-mental-model is superior to, say, Cocoa-the-mental-model, and by baking this model into the underlying layers of the stack we'd stand to see a lot of performance gains.

Just my 2 cents though.
Most of people, especially in the tech world are clueless, which is why the US is obese.
At the 26C3 congress in 2009 there was a talk[1] about just that happening: companies that were looking for abandoned ASNs/IPv4 allocations and then using shady tricks (creating similarly-named companies, ...) to get them in their possession.

Amazon is still an online bookstore and Google did want to sell ads. But they just wanted to sell search first which they did, to Yahoo.

Oracle is still a database company. Apple still makes computers.

I’m blanking on a great founder who successfully pivoted, operative word being great. Successful is a lower bar.
That's because it WAS a draw if Black played correctly - by blocking all the pawns from advancing and only moving the rook back occasionally if attacked by the bishop (although probably it would have remained a draw even if Black had given up the exchange. There was no way for white to get in there.
I don't think people are driven only by money, but if inventing cool stuff doesn't make any, you do it in your spare time after you take someone's money to push ads into eyeballs.
I am a Debian sid user, so I know well what you mean, but as long as you don't do a kernel upgrade, Linux has been extremely stable for me. This wasn't always the case. 10 years ago, Debian sid would break all the time, but I have probably had only one or two non-kernel/driver related issues in the past 5 years.

Another subtle difference is that on Linux platforms, you have more control over when/how to update, as well as visibility into exactly what is updating. I'm sure it's visible on other platforms, but I don't have to worry about rebooting my machine and having to wait 2 hours for it to come up.

Perhaps another point worth mentioning, LTS versions of Linux distros (Debian stable, or Ubuntu LTS versions) mainly get security patches, and, optionally, back ported software. That makes your OS stack super stable!

I'd put kernel upgrades into a different bucket... but most users don't need to update their kernel on a daily or even yearly basis except for security patches.

Great point about coreutils too! No need to update ls and grep...
Blu-rays and Netflix work just fine on my old laptop that doesn't support secure enclaves.

The onus is on us to make sure that a future where we are locked out of the devices we own does not come to pass.
I think you completely misinterpreted my comment
If licensing was required for computer-related goods and services we would likely neither have Linux today nor a cheap plastic router to run it on.
There’s always Riot https://about.riot.im/ which is a nice and fully open source app so you could set that up on-premise too. :)
I experienced this 1 week ago. Imagine you used your one and only debit card for a subscription service. The billing system of this subscription service went mad. Guess what: To stop this subscription madness you can only block your whole card. On top of that you have stress to get a new one from your bank and you are several days without a debit card. Or imagine somebody does a fraudulent charge... when it's large and the limit is not big (or connected to your account with a debit card) the money is first lost. You practically loose time where you cannot use that account/card anymore.
My grandparents always got cash out of the ATM machine then bought stuff with their cash. I always thought this was weird, but as an adult I wish I could be bothered to do this.
I assume you mean "really short" and "really long," respectively.
It's one thing to lack the knowledge to use the device. It's another to lack the authority, if said knowledge could be acquired or reverse engineered. If I own the device, I should be allowed to send whatever control bits I want.

I understand the DMCA and related laws change this, but that is a flaw of our legal system that needs to be corrected.

I could not disagree more. Consider the following progression:

I have kids, you don't. I "should" make more.

I am trying to have kids, you already have them. My IVF treatments are expensive and mess up my partner to the point that it's expensive for me. I should make more.

I am trying to adopt because my partner is infertile. That's a long and laborious and expensive procedure. I should make more.

My partner and I want kids, but she's infertile because of ongoing chemo treatments. Life is rough. I should make more.

My partner or I don't even think about kids because we have medical issues that we do not want to advertise. What does this have to do with my salary?

The only sane way to answer the question of salary is "how replaceable are you, and what can they afford to pay?"

Anything else can and likely will leave a festering wound that will affect the company later.

In fact, a simple, approximate model for this phenomenon is inheritances split among siblings when parents die. It was (and is) quite common to have one sibling inherit more because they have had a difficult life in some way, or because boys should inherit more money than girls, or other such blather.

It rips families apart.

Do you really think that your startup will survive better?
OTOH, as somebody who doesn't do much date stuff JS/moment's months are a constant source of bugs.

So the hubbub about Kaspersky is really CYA from the NSA?
They invited people to read and then inflicted an annoying and unwelcome interaction on them that interrupted what they were invited to do. It's OK to ask for something at the end of the article but not to engage in that sort of bait and switch. Also, it's pretty damn entitled of the many sites which give you a finger-wagging lecture about your ad blocker the first time you ever visit.

Yes, it's toxic to offer an article and then snatch it away mid-way. Try doing that with a small child or an animal and see what sort of reaction you get.
In exchange for the promise of an interesting article, which they have failed to deliver on.
More specifically it's about driving MCTS with neural nets rather than pure random sampling as prior strong (but quite far from pro level) go bots were. Of course before AlphaGo was released there were papers on a pure deep net version of a go bot that beat Pachi and Fuego (both MCTS), not sure if it beat CrazyStone of the time.
> we're surrounded by mountains of evidence exactly to the contrary

Where can we find such evidence, as opposed to anecdotes?
I'm actually getting tired of this mantra of "freedom" as a defense any kind of regulation in the US.

Gun rights are on obvious one and everyone throws up their hands in the air saying there is no solution for the problems no one else in the world has.

Less controversial, AirBnB and many Americans argue "it's my house/apartment, I should be able to do what I want" yet those wanting to basically run illegal hotels are exploting a pretty classic case of the tragedy of the commons (in that their neighbours bear the cost).

The UK has a largely unregulated system for trades to the point that after the dot-com crash, many former programmers took up plumbing.

In Australia we have a pretty rigid system for licensing of trades to the point that if you call yourself an electrician or a plumber without a license you can go to jail. You're free to subcontract for a licensed contractor but ultimately someone who is licensed needs to be responsible.

When I lived in the UK, I had a friend who was an Australian licensed plumber (note that plumber here includes natural gas). He said that him and his Australian tradesmen friends used to call the UK tradesmen "chancers". Maybe they can do it and maybe they can't but they'll give it a go. He gave me the advice that if I ever got any work done in the UK get an Australian tradesman.

I don't understand why anyone would argue that you should be able to do what you want when it comes to things like gas and electricity when any shortcuts, negligence or mistakes could kill people. It boggles my mind. Just watch any of the renovation shows on HGTV and you'll see the dodgy things people do. At least a licensed tradesmen is accountable in that there's a record of their work and their license can be yanked. More to the point, any such tradesmen will invoke the permitting and inspection processes that are relevant.

It's the same reason there's a building code. Years ago I heard that Australian builders had agreed among themselves to bid on international projects (Asia specifically) and build to Australian rather than local standards. It's more expensive but at least it'll be much safer.

Laws and regulations can be onerous, sure. But they're also necessary. Licensing simply makes sure that licensees are aware of those laws.
Mesopotamian studies is really interesting. There's a lot of intact records from archives that were found in the basements or lower levels of buildings that were destroyed in fires -- clay tablets only break under the most intense heat.

Most are administrative records, but as TFA shows even these can be incredibly interesting. Only a small percentage have been translated -- there's not that many people with the diligence to learn cuneiform! But if you want to go to Oxford and spend 5-10 years learning ancient dialects and writing systems, it could be quite rewarding.
I keep reading that - but I just don't buy it - you can offload SSL to edge devices - why do the servers even need to care?
Not a great argument. Most of Trump's policies like expanding use of coal and not taking actions to prevent flooding and other consequences of global warming will be felt in 10, 20, or maybe even 50 years. By reversing course and burying the facts, he is still responsible for them in a way that Obama (who tried to work on the problem) was not.

Even more directly, Trump is in the process of gutting our healthcare, education, and taxes (read: infrastructure). If he had a few more votes in the Senate, they would have already undermined/removed even more of our social safety net. Millions of people will have significantly worse quality of life and for many of them it will mean the difference between life and death. Their medicines will get too expensive...they won't be able to afford to see a doctor in some cases...or get surgery or chemo in many more.

To say that Trump's policies aren't killing people (and especially Americans) is to ignore anything but soldiers from the count. Obama largely inherited Bush Jr's wars (and Bush Jr. was largely continuing Bush Sr's wars) so you're welcome to blame him for the deaths there but he probably had fewer options than you imply. Not to say he did nothing wrong, but Trump is literally threatening to nuke North Korea which is orders of magnitude different from how Obama acted even once in eight years.

I love cash. By far the most convenient payment method for face to face transactions.
Just curious, who's "we"?
You can actually just click on "continue without email" and continue reading.
I think you’re too focused on kids, specifically, when the real point is paying each founder enough to minimize personal stress for their individual situation (and not much more than that).

Could be kids. Could be IVF treatments. Could be student debt. Could be geography. Could be past success/failure.

Doesn’t really matter the specifics - kids are just one example - but paying founders enough so they can frugally live and not stress about their financial situation is the optimal choice, and it may result in differences in comp early on.

If the founding team has a big problem with small inequalities in salary, there are bigger issues at play that will likely eventually surface.
The link did not say "we're going to waste a couple minutes of your time to trick you into becoming invested and not beable to finish the story unless you give us your email."

At least be honest about the situation up front. There was no hint that we would have some portion of the content locked without signing up until i got to the blurred out part. This is somewhat toxic.

At least it's not ad driven, too.
