Really not sure how you don't see it. Mimicking my sentence structure, implying that people who talk like me are ostracised by society (!?), and using phrases like "incredibly toxic". I could almost hear the tone of voice reading that sentence.
I feel the harm is caused by appropriating a process that's supposed to be a way for citizens to voice their opinion and rendering it useless, regardless of which names are signed to the content for or against. It seems like another attack on citizens' trust for government process.
Fear of losing to the other party is the only thing that keeps them from being more awful. So please don’t stop voting.
Any lawyers care to comment on this claim of theirs?

It has been pointed out to us that since we have our servers in the US, we are under US jurisdiction. We do not believe this to be the case.

As a non-lawyer I would expect the US to be able to serve their host with a warrant to get whatever data the judge said they could have.
Admittedly its less of a risk with your SSH keys than with say your bitcoin wallet. (There's a clear economic incentive there and most bitcoin hardware wallets have pretty low levels of assurance).

But nonetheless, the number of people who are security conscious enough to lock their keys into their hardware, but not worried about malicious hardware seems quite limited.
It is a now pretty much dead fleshed out version of this. You can play all the features you mentioned of the game for free. Anything you can officially pay for is cosmetic, like clothing for your pet.

There are also entire off site communities dedicated towards selling items and neopoints

the site was bought from its founders by Viacom for 100m

I used to trade digital assets on games like this exactly like people trade crypto currencies today.

Both the interest in having a digital collectible and using electronic points as a store of value
I made a typo. Western Pennsylvania is closer to NYC than Chicago. I did a google maps from the northwestern corner where I-80 crosses into Pennsylvania, to Chicago and NYC.
This is what the person you are replying to was pointing out, yes, using sarcastic understatement.
Spot on. FWIW with some effort we can get Linkerd down to ~110mb. For some companies that's acceptable. Still, it's a far cry from the ~3mb footprint that the Conduit proxies current have.
You need exactly 1 in the organization. No more, no less. Can you deduce why a collective or cluster hasn't replaced the role? I'd imagine the answer is blame, but I'd like to know what you think.
What prevents you from running away with the money? There isn't a contact page with real people on it, nor a registered business in the background, I suppose?
Maybe you should focus on not falling too far behind Finland, the Netherlands and Sweden first. I don't think I've ever heard of a Danish tech company. Even tiny Iceland has EVE Online.
Hi Mr. Schneiderman:

As a constituent, thank you for your work. I can't help but notice that your office is the only state AG vocally supporting net neutrality. Has your office attempted to coordinate with/gain support of other state's AGs?
My 2013 Nexus 7 only got replaced because of the battery expiring. I still liked it more than its replacement, the Nvidia shield (too heavy), and I'd like either of them way more than any android tablet still on the market.
35% developing tests? What great institution do you work for?
How would that work? The Bitcoin network runs over TCP/IP, and you can't run raw TCP/IP connection over browsers.

I assume there is some kind of bridge server, or supernode, to allow the browser node to connect (via websocket?) to the actual Bitcoin network?
Some of us already get at least an hour daily exercise and it's debatable whether you need more when combined with a healthy diet. Modern conveniences and automation are not about being lazy but efficient and productive. Frankly, I'm a bit surprised so many here seem against these things as I often see people here spend a vast amount of time over-engineering and over-thinking automation and productivity tools/solutions/hacks otherwise, even celebrating such.

Is it solely privacy concerns that make you pull the health card? I'm pretty sure the overall positive effect on your health from getting up to manually switch lights and change the channel on the TV would be negligible; there are far better ways to get your daily exercise.
Including light (ie - free space optical networks, which are usually commercial, but the Ronja project shows they can be DIY'd too)?

I've often thought that mesh networks are where things need to move, but they suffer from a larger problem here in the States:

Chokepoints

Essentially, there are large gaps between cities where there isn't enough population, or there are geographic features in the way (or both) that preclude mesh network relays from being setup by anyone other than a corporation which has the resources to purchase the land needed, and either install fiber, microwave relay towers, or whatnot - and maintain all of it over time.

Sure - you could probably mesh network most of the NE of the country. Maybe even California (though there'd be bottlenecks). But how do you jump from LA to Phoenix, or from Phoenix to Las Vegas or DFW? How do you link any of that to the east coast? How do you get this mesh network to the interior of the country?

Not likely to happen without a lot of money and effort.

What I can see happening, though, is a return to lower-bandwidth communication networks - ie, dust off that old BBS software! Dial-up, or low-bitrate comms (which can pass easier thru congested or low-node count mesh networks) would likely become the way to do things.

But I doubt it would become mainstream, as most people just don't seem to be able to live without their streaming TV channels and bookface feeds. But maybe that would be ideal; the hardcore and tech conscious using these lower-level channels to figure out a way to fix the problems in the mesh, so that one day all could share it.

Worst case, the signal to noise ratio would go down, and we geeks could finally have a space with intelligent discourse and fewer trolls.
The public comment process is not an opinion poll, it's a mechanism to make sure the FCC has all the relevant information at its disposal. They are under no obligation to favor any viewpoint just because it's popular.

You've actually got it backwards. If this were a case of an Executive Branch run amok, the proper move at this point would be for Congress to pass a law and fix it. And Congress itself is definitely an opinion poll, we call them 'elections'.

Elections have consequences, and administrators have a large amount of leeway in how their departments get run.
I'm happy for the guys at Bouyant, they've been great to work with in the past.

There's a very large complexity payment inherent in the new "cloud native" architectures that fundamentally isn't worth it for a large swath of use cases. Conduit, at first glance, appears like it might solve a large portion of it. If there's anything the last 10 years have shown us as an industry, it's that convention and programmer ease of use are the most important qualities of a new framework or way of working.

Rails / Go / K8S dominating Mesos / Containers over Jails / Maven over ANT / on and on. ActiveRecord is great, and Rails routing is great. Together they are magical for what they provide a user. Envoy is great. Istio is great. But there isn't a simplistic way to unify them even though for 95% of the industry it appears their functionality should go hand in hand.

We'll see if Conduit can fill that gap.
That's a good idea! An accelerator for side-jobs or single-founder companies that aren't looking for more than a monthly salary and want to be their own bosses. They'll be getting an investment of a minimum yearly salary to just get by for 20% of their company. Nice.
For the record, I downvoted you and am not angry at all about your posts.
I have my mail hosted at Zoho and they support this.

Edit: Simply throwing this out there in case Fastmail doesn't and you're looking for alternatives. Not shilling for Zoho.
I want these devices for their simple convenience...

My teenage children often leave lights on in the basement of my home. "Alexa, turn off the basement lights".

I'm also slightly afraid of heights, so I've considered installing smart LED's in the can lights in the eves of my roof. "Alexa, turn the house red."

Sometimes I get hot or cold after I've already gone to bed and I don't want to walk to the thermostat to see if someone has adjusted it. "Alexa, set the temperature to 70 degrees."

I worry about the loss of privacy but the day to day convenience is also pretty compelling.
> so these gains did not come from profits, rather appreciation in the equity of the company during his tenure. it would be hypocritical to praise startup founders from reaping capital gains while admonishing this ceo

Why do you think the equity went up in value? It’s because of profit driven - valuations and profitability usually go hand in hand. The difference between Aetna and most startups is the business of Aetna adds no value to the economy/society, it’s a value suck.
as far i read in the documentation no. i will do more research on the implementation. also you device has to be unlocked for the enclave to work.

> The public comment process is not an opinion poll, it's a mechanism to make sure the FCC has all the relevant information at its disposal. They are under no obligation to favor any viewpoint just because it's popular.

Which is a straw man, as I did not argue anything about failing to treat the public comment process as a poll.
An Ethereum private key is 256 bits. I'd buy a 256-bit private key for an Ethereum account that holds $1m for $100k.
Best quality/price for branded hoodies for our startup?
My colleagues have decided that our company has reached the point that we need our own fancy startup-branded hoodies. Personally, I live in San Francisco and think this is passé, so I wouldn't be caught dead in one in public, but I promised I'd look into this for them.

Their plan was to get Uniqlo hoodies and custom print these, but they cost $40 not including the money we'd spent to print on them.

I'm looking for something about half the cost, maybe more, that is a fashionable, well-fitting, good-looking hoodie.

What are other companies doing?
What makes this decision arbitrary or capricious?

Note that 'Arbitrary or capricious' is a legal standard of review for a government agency's decisions[0].

"In administrative law, a government agency's resolution of a question of fact, when decided pursuant to an informal rulemaking under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), is reviewed on the arbitrary and capricious standard. Arbitrary and capricious is a legal ruling where in an appellate court determines that a previous ruling is invalid because it was made on unreasonable grounds or without any proper consideration of circumstances. This is an extremely deferential standard."

It's a pretty low bar, but it exists.

No chance of that, GreenArrays processors are arrays of f18a computers - each of which only has 64 18bit words of RAM. Orders of magnitude less then Erlang requires.
I would start with the product briefs if you want to learn more: http://www.greenarraychips.com/home/documents/downindex.html
Not a well-written article, but some good points. Concerns of mine:

* We /still/ don't know the contents of the telemetry Microsoft sends back; hubbub seems to have died down. Do we just not care?

* Undocumented APIs. Remember when MS had hidden or secret APIs used by, eg, Office, they were forced to document? Those days are back. Consider the APIs for the Acrylic UI, which is implemented in the WinAPI (not .Net) but is only accessible from .Net applications. That's tie-in making it attractive for devs to use only MS products for development, too.

* Incomplete. There are still settings not in the new Settings app that are found in the Control Panel. Counting from Windows 8 in 2012, that's over five years of incomplete settings.

* Buggy. Creator's Update introduced a bug loading DLLs that made thousands of apps slower to start, and made debugging them close to impossible - all because they changed the module loading code. It looks like they only tested with modules built by Visual Studio, not third party dev tools, and so broke debugging for those developers for... how long? Six months. It wasn't fixed until the Fall Update.

I could go on. The first two are the most important to me, and I believe should be to other developers too.
how does this handle existing 3rd party jquery plugins? The single biggest problem and configuration nightmare I always face is bundling something like CKeditor.
I switched to FastMail from Gmail a few months ago and haven’t had any issues with spam.
>After storm damage in the spring and a skeleton crew in the summer, the institute was fully reopened in October with a new director and a new mission: It will be a home for technologists to reckon with what they have built.

Isn't it safe to say that most people who invent/develop things are not capable of forseeing all possible uses of their technology?

>“They wonder if they’re doing the right thing for humanity,” Mr. Tauber said. “These are questions we can only answer behind closed doors.”

I genuinely laughed at that comment. We are only usually able to see the consequences of our actions/past as Steve Jobs would say " when we connect the dots going backwards"
> So Windows 7 has security holes that Windows 10 doesn't, but Windows 10 is no more secure than Windows 7. Right.

Windows 7 was released in 2009 and has received free support for years. In contrast, when did Ubuntu 9.04 (also released in 2009) lose security backports?

Perhaps Ubuntu 9.04 isn't a "fair" comparison, since most Ubuntu releases aren't designed for long support and the community recognizes this fact. But even then, the Ubuntu 10.04 LTS release (long-time support) was in 2010, and its support ended in 2015.

The mindset of "blame Microsoft" is quite annoying, when every darn Linux user is basically subjected to the "forced upgrade cycle" way faster.
Just to do a thought experiment and ignoring your existing biases, imagine if you had two options always in every room in your house -- one is to ask Alexa and the other is to flick the switch, over time what do you think you will gravitate towards?
I'm a software dev and it confused me initially as well since I thought now you can write Go native apps for Android...

Google's just been in some kind of a brain freeze lately... they still can't get a useful chat client that everyone uses (i.e. like whatsapp, or viber even), they royally screwed the pooch by removing the 3.5 mm jack on the Pixel 2.... had screen issues with it as well...

Somebody is asleep at the wheel at Google.
The decryption password is not the same as the login password for ProtonMail. Logging in at minimum requires entering your username, your login password, and your mailbox password.

The result is security at rest, which fastmail does not have. ProtonMail's web app is open-source, and can be deployed locally if you wish to remove the chance of an evil app deployment.

If you use the official deployment, an evil update can obtain your mailbox password, in which case the the adversary (that is, the one capable of pushing the update) observe a security level equivalent to if security at rest was not implemented. However, even in this case, the data on the mail-servers is still protected from everyone else, so while a single adversary has observed a security level identical to that of fastmail (i.e. no security at rest), everyone else still observes a secured mailbox.

Not having security at rest is, in my opinion, dangerous.
Shervin Pishevar takes immediate leave of absence
This looks neat!
Depends if they're talking about adding tests or battling tests/test frameworks to just get something out.
Is it speculative to think Tether has the means to forcibly make Bitcoin collapse?

Am I reading that right?
That only works if you and the developer are in the same legal environment.
Everything that is ever said within earshot of the device, potentially.
Was just talking with my boss about how they do it in Germany.

Essentially they do heavy tracking, if you can't cut it in the college track, you get put into blue collar training and apprentice programs. This is why they are such an industrial powerhouse still - they have a well prepared white collar and blue collar work force.
it was for kids in 2000 but now those kids are 20-30+. They never made the switch to mobile and that is when the site truly lost any chance of new players. In its heyday it was not uncommon to regularly see people with 10k$+ spent on their accounts.

While the site did have those features you mentioned, they were glitchy and never updated past the original 1990s php code. xss everywhere losing your account was inevitable

what people used the site for was the same as the crypto kitties. Collecting digital widgets and participating in the markets the buying and selling of those things created.

100k for a crypto kitty is pretty nuts but its the most rare and valuable not like they are commonly hitting that.

on neopets you could buy "wearables" to dress your pet but these couldn't be sold for the in game currency and buying in game points and items was illegal.

Neopoints went for $3 per million (now maybe a buck or two) on the forums dedicated to cheating which hosted off site marketplaces.

if you were a cheeky 13 year old and figured out how to use xss to steal a lot of cookies or even better their database with an sql injection you could easily amass trillions in neopoints.

When the off site marketplaces stick the price at a few bucks per million that is a lot of money you could make when you have thousands of stacked accounts with rare items and pets and neopoints.

I would say it is extremely likely someone spent 100k in a single purchase at least once. I personally saw people selling what they amassed at a bulk price of 10k many times.

The real money maker was selling hash lists and database leaks of account info. Sell accounts for a buck a piece, maybe one in 50 had anything decent, so just selling lists worked out to be a better way to make money because you aren't responsible for securing the hacked goods, and you make a profit every time even if the account is empty

gosh this makes me want to play again. maybe not violate the cfaa stealing their database, or performing xss to steal cookies, even though that is the most fun part of the game. Maybe looking for bugs to report them rather than to steal accounts items etc would be fun. Either way
If you want to hang out and rum some fuzzers or figure something out let me know.

i will for sure rejoin to make bots again. writing bots for neopets (containing password stealers) was my very first taste of programming, and the code I wrote was surprisingly succinct and elegant.
I agree with you. This hack requires physical access and is fairly complicated. It's probably much easier to walk into someone's house and drop a tiny wireless microphone somewhere hidden.
Hey, Gwyneth Paltrow has a highly successful beauty-product brand called GOOP.
Did you do any reading about the budget? I haven't read the whole thing but it seems pretty obvious to me that main benefits will go to the highest incomes and corporations and only a small percentage to the middle class. Unless you define middle class as people with net worth in the millions.
ProtonMail's web client is open source, and can be deployed locally if you wish to avoid scenarios where an evil application is deployed.

Their native apps are unfortunately not open source, though.

> total market cap zero

The end game for any currency is a market cap of zero, with a long enough t -> infinity.

> or in the trillions.

Nonsense. That's like saying that the total market cap for vkou's collectible post-it-notes may be in the trillions.

Devos is actually a perfect pick if you assume the goal was to pursue her pet agenda at the expense of every other possible agenda that a Secretary of Education could have. Whether the skids were greased because of her rich brother or not, she still could have been picked by some hypothetical other Republican president.

Usually, the completely crooked, bought-their-way-into-the-Cabinet appointment in any given administration is whoever becomes the Commerce Secretary. You don't usually remember who the Commerce Secretary is because they don't typically do anything, but they're almost always a big money donor. There's a bipartisan tradition of that which stretches back to when it was created at the turn of the century.
General artificial intelligence is inherently impossible, so why discuss its ramifications?

No algorithm can create more information than is put into it, yet the hallmark of human intelligence is the ability to create new information. The two are inherently different beasts.
Additionally, have you been working with any other state AGs regarding this issue?
Horses have been a core part of warfare for centuries upon centuries.

There's probably plenty of useful skills being a mounted soldier taught you that driving a tank doesn't. Those skills, if they're still useful today, are learned another way.
Is there anything that states can do to promote municipal broadband or maximize competition for ISPs? If Ajit Pai is ultimately successful in rolling back net neutrality in spite of evidence of foul play and the pleadings of agencies such as yours, is it possible to fight against consolidation and to encourage consumers to vote for net neutrality with their wallets? Thank you.
I switched about 6 months ago. I love having the catchall address although I had that when google managed my custom email domain as well. The web interface is really fast as it does operations in the background so it is really responsive, even at times when your internet connection is spotty. The only real downside is that the phone app (at least the android one) wasn't that good, I currently just use IMAP and k9 mail instead which works well enough.

I did use inbox before (and I still get some email to my gmail account) and it does have nice features like snooze that I miss. But on the whole I am happy with my choice to use fast mail.

I should also add that I seem to get slightly more junk mail than I did before, but it is close and hard to tell, I have not had a real email marked as spam yet, which did happen from time to time with gmail, so this isn't a complaint, just an observation.
Your sarcasm aside, his comment extends to pretty much all persons with limited mobility, which includes the sick, injured, and elderly.
Can you require Apartments to have more than one ISP. Charter is the worst and that's all that's available while my neighbors have FIOS available to them and RCN
I have no problem calling rapists "rapists" or "criminals".

But take Conyers, for example. I haven't been following that particular mess closely, but a quick glance shows him being accused of (repeated) "unwanted advances" and "mistreatment". Well, are unwanted advances abuse of a position of power? Absolutely. Are they rape? Are they criminal? No and no. (I'm not sure what, exactly, is covered by "mistreatment". Could that be criminal? Certainly. Was it? I can't say without more specificity, and I don't care to wade further into the cesspool to find out.)
Couldn't agree more. It's really hard to pinpoint the exact cause of such an outcome.
