If NORAD said “incoming missile strike,” sure. That isn’t what happened.

The civilian notification system sent out a false positive. Saying “false alarm” would require, at that point, asking the military for affirmative confirmation nothing is wrong. That is a lower priority than responding to an active threat.
Right, but the point is that we're on a niche internet forum. Out feeling about any technology aren't likely representative of the population at large.
I would seek shelter in a subway station. It’s not perfect in terms of protection, because the ventilation system would pump in radioactivity as long as there’s still power. But it would allow me to get to any place 20km away from city center without going above ground once.

Rebuild is necessary for things as trivial as changing the default install path. It's absolutley standard; a Linux distro that doesn't rebuild packages somewhere would almost not count as a distro.
If I were going to erode public trust in emergency broadcast systems in order to increase the amount of damage I would do by launching an actual missile, this is how I would do it. A series of false alarms.

A similar, if obviously much smaller and less disastrous example, happens at my apartment about 4 times a week: the fire alarms for entire floors of my apartment building are easily triggered by people smoking in the breeze ways or burning their dinner. The result is that I routinely ignore fire alarms because the likelihood of a real fire is has been demonstrated to be exceedingly small.
> You'd think the people who "pressed the wrong button" would be able to press the same button again?

Absolutely not. Once you say “fire” you need official confirmation to say “no fire”.

That means certification from the military. The official needed being in a meeting or tending to something of greater importance could easily introduce delays.

In any case, I presume the system’s designers didn’t build in an “oops, fat finger” notification. Getting that ready could have easily taken 30 minutes. This happened on a week-end. The coders could have very well been at home.

Windows 10 has a "package manager", of course, that's quite good, but both user culture, developer disinterest, and years and years of inertia keeps it from being used for enough things to cross the network-effect side of some treshold of "worthwhile".

The 'download | execute' paradigm, on the other hand, is the complete antithesis of package management, to where your desire to obtain and execute the code trumps your willingness and patience to wait until it has been vetted by your preferred package manager, and installed in a less haphazard way. I fail to see your point.
I know this isn't a comforting thought, but: Missiles from the most likely source (North Korea) are not thought to have very good accuracy. They may be as likely to hit Kauai or the big island (or the ocean nearby) as Honolulu.

There is some truth to both sides. First, there is a difference between "jail" and "prison". Jail most commonly refers to a county, city, municipal lockup. This is an individual's first stop on their way to prison (assuming they are found guilty). When you are first arrested you are taken to jail. At this point in the criminal justice system, there is no proof of "innocence" or "guilt". To be arrested the officer only needs to have probable cause. In many cities, counties, states simply possessing a joint is enough to get your arrested and taken to jail. Once in jail the problem begins, and this is a huge issue in criminal justice reform. Many of those arrested for simple possession of joint are poor and can not afford a cash bail system. This leaves them stranded in jail until their court dates which could be weeks or months down the road. Many jails face overcrowding by these individuals that have not been convicted of crimes but are simply awaiting their day in court.

So while you are correct, most people don't go to prison for smoking a joint, many do go to jail for smoking a joint. They then sit in jail awaiting their day in court to plead their case and receive their sentence which is often no more than a monetary fine.

Microsoft did actually introduce a certification programme, as well as start to sell their own systems (other than Surface). I can't recall the brand they used but it seemed like a great idea.

No, GDPR simply does not have anything to do with this. GDPR is about human rights, not about technological development. Machine readable access might still be a worthwhile goal in that area, but extending data protection to encompass the right to submit transactions to your bank via a machine readable standardized interface certainly would be a stretch.

But are we starting anywhere? Say I want to write free banking software for people who care about their privacy ... are we even the slightest bit closer to being able to do that? Or isn't this rather a step in the opposite direction in that it further cements the idea of having monks do all the reading and writing for your?

> A corner stone of digital privacy and security is being in control of your systems and data

I see this as an opportunity that Mozilla has, and I'd submit an "idea" to them but I don't know how. Google got big by making ads suck less - they were the first that delivered non-intrusive ads that actually worked (and were personalized too, to boot - without being intrusive!)

I wonder if there isn't a serious market for flipping the paradigm on its head. The marketers do need to deliver relevant messages to relevant persons... but I think they don't need to collect lots of personal data about you. What if someone trustworthy would flip the paradigm on its head? Say that you tell Firefox your interests, and, besides being a browser, it becomes a sort of "local ad exchange" too - when you visit "New Yorker", it says "I can display here an add about cars, or one about sleep pills, or one about cruises etc.". Instead of profiling the user - send extensive ad profiles to the browser, and let the browser pick locally based on user profile & preferences. It would be wasteful in that you potentially send a lot of ad metadata to a single browser... but, theoretically, all that metadata can be cached. And, I dunno, maybe it's not really that much metadata, afterall? It's a rough idea, but I feel it's one worth exploring that could provide genuine benefits both for (non-shady) marketers & for end-users.
For most people fall-out is a bigger risk than blast damage or immediate radiation exposure. The immediate effects of a blast range only ~1km (depending on yield), but fall-out occurs over a much wider radius.

For that - take shelter inside, anywhere. Make sure you shut all windows and doors tight, and ideally tape shut vents. Cover openings with a wet towel. Stay put (don't go outside!) and shelter in an interior room for at least one and ideally 3-5 days. Radiation follows an exponential decay curve, so waiting longer significantly reduces the amount of radiation you are exposed to. You have about 45 minutes after the blast (~1 hour after launch) before fall-out starts arriving in significant quantities: enough to take shelter and do basic preparations, but not enough to travel any significant distance.

The biggest physiological danger comes from inhaled alpha-particle emitters, i.e. radioactive dust. Alpha particles have only a few cm range and are easily stopped by wood, paper, or skin, though, so don't breathe the dust. Beta particles are also easily stopped by clothing or a few meters of air. There's not much you can do about gamma rays or X-rays (this is what your hypothetical lead-lined vault is for), but they are physiologically less dangerous than alpha and beta particles.
One thing I am always sure to share with collegues when we discuss curl, is the fact from the command line you can generate the underlying C code.

This is pretty useful when creating a CLI for pretty much any app, and I've used it regularly to generate a CLI for an app.

These systems are being revisited for the first time in a generation. Honest mistake is far more likely.
As a non-white minority in silicon valley, I can see the new direction being adopted by companies to pacify the diversity mafia. Diversity (racial & gender) for diversity sake, with merit being an afterthought is a slippery slope.

Then there's the total disregard to thought diversity. If you're not a far left advocate, your voice is systemically silenced, and you're almost made to feel guilty of holding opinions that are common place in the rest of the country. I'm sorry, but whatever you spin gender fluidity as, I do not want a grown man going into the women's bathroom while my little girl wants to use the facilities.

As with Damore, today's left won't stop till they destroy the lives of those they disagree with. Google could have chosen to ignore this memo, but they vengefully fired an innocent person at the behest of the vocal, loud left leaning faction. Do not give this illegal, militant ideology of vengeance an official platform within the company, just as you wouldn't let the KKK's manifesto dictate corporate decision making!

I think it's not just Chinese, but pretty much most immigrant have a stronger desire to go back home.
Speaking as an immigrant myself,i don't think most of us came to the US because we loved american culture, we came for the opportunity, and as more and more opportuinity open up in culture closer to our native cultures, going back make more and more sense.

The other aspect i didn't see mentioned is that dating for an average immigrant man (which are still the majority of the immigration in tech) is a brutal experience; between the skew gender ratio, the ruthlessness of modern/app based dating and increasing intolerance against "conservative values" etc... for anecdotal sample, a large population are just leaving to escape the loneliness and try to start a family

>In any case, I presume the system’s designers didn’t build in an “oops, fat finger” notification.

Yeah, but imagine getting a legit alert, and then someone fat-fingering the "fat finger" notification. Or someone installing malware that sends that notification for all military related threats.
I would assume the system supports arbitrary messages. During a real emergency, I doubt they would want to need to get coders in order to send an unexpected message.
Pranksters hack the emergency alert system on a semi-regular basis.

So the plausibility of Russia doing it would be based on whether they would bother or not.

I hope Apple will begin to spin privacy and security as part of their "premium lifestyle". Because if privacy and security will be associated with premiumness, other companies will have an incentive to implement similar measures in their products. People will actually care about their digital privacy for the first time! (though not because of the benefits of privacy, but to show off to others that they can afford a premium product with privacy)

Sort of like how companies suddenly started caring about their mobile phones' package design after the iPhone was released with its sleek packaging.

While, I mostly agree, this misses the profit motive of the prison industrial complex. It is a way to maintain a system of very low-cost slave labor, without actually using the word "slave".

And, it's not just private prisons that are profiting when more people go to prison (though that is among the most obvious and egregious abuses of the system). State and local prisons and jails also sell their captive labor force to the highest bidder, and use them for government work, as well, passing on only a small percentage of the proceeds to the workers.

Every American should feel a deep shame about the whole damned thing...but, as you note, we've got a real fondness for the wicked getting their just desserts, and as far as most Americans are concerned, if someone is in prison they deserve whatever horrible thing is done to them. So, "tough on crime" politicians get to make their donors happy, and nobody cares about the human lives destroyed for the profit of a few.

I actually wonder why this warning can be send in the first place. As this unwanted "test" has shown, people have absolutely no idea what to/where to go in that situation.

COINTELPRO is a poor comparison. A better example would be Operation Mockingbird (CIA, before the Church Committee & all that that entailed), or Operation Northwoods--to a lesser extent (also before the Church Committee, under JFK).

Its my personally held opinion that Operation Mockingbird never died. I feel that the intelligence arms are the deep state running the show through misinformation campaigns. My personal opinion held in this, the 2nd paragraph, is 100% conjecture. I wouldn't be surprised if it were found to be true, though.
