I was originally defending this logic.. I've since changed my mind.

Two major points

(1) Intel was informed in June. His stock sale was planned in October and executed in November.

You'd have to believe that somehow the CEO was not informed about this vulnerability during this huge time period.

(2) This wasn't a normal executive stock sale. He dumped all of his shares other than the required minimum holdings. The vulnerabilities aside, this just looks bad in general.

I'll give you that this plan seems pretty unimpressive. I just have a very hard time buying the idea that Intel kept him in the dark all those months and that him dumping all of the stock he possibly could is some sort of coincidence.
"unethical and wrong" is subjective. The most successful companies like Facebook and Google have been similarly called "unethical and wrong" for their practices. But alternatively it could be argued that their net utility on humanity is positive. So a lot depends on the definitions of "unethical" and "wrong", and that is a deeper philosophical question.
but then again being decentralized results in being unusable as a payment facility.

That's what I think as well. My native is Bulgarian and I've been through the whole range, you mentioned.

Webmaster tools never had many features, so I'd be surprised if they reduced the featureset significantly.
This product in particular seems like a fairly linear progression to me. No?
He broke his pattern last year by changing the orders in october. At a time intel was already aware of Meltdown and with a puplication date for the vulnerability set in January.
Wikipedia states that the issue had been shared with manufacturers in July, a month after he normally issues his orders mentioned by the article.

Edit: The date on the last part is wrong, which doesn't change the fact that he changed his orders in the time between internal and public disclosure of Meltdown. I misread the article, in 2017 he issued his orders in February not June (2015).
Should all criminals be able get away with crimes by claiming unbelievable levels of ignorance?
I think all-in-one accounts would work if the user themselves owned the data instead of Google; honestly I'm a bit annoyed that I need to have a separate account / identity for every webpage I visit.
Why would Whatsapp block him. On the contrary, he is providing Whatsapp access to all these Indian users of $20 of Jio phones. I believe it is Jio that is blocking access to Whatsapp (maybe Jio wants their customers to use Jio's own messaging app).
Home ownership causes the same problem.

So does:

* good quality schools, rather commute long distances than change schools;

* a really good city with a nice downtown;

* a spouse's job location;

* friends' location;

* ... point is there are many reasons for someone to not want move closer to the current job.
I hope it won't mean less feature. However, I don't like the new Adwords either, the UI is better, but the whole UX is a crap, I have to read tons of articles to find the good old features.
How does it compare, feature wise to the old one?

Well, remember that Damore's claim was that there is evidence that we cannot categorically rule out biological causes for the skewed representation, in addition to discrimination.

For that claim, even much weaker evidence than what exists would have been sufficient.
Probably not a decade as OP mentioned..
A friend of mine had some good wisdom from her mom. If you have to take medication, take different ones, not always the same ones. If you eat premade food, buy different kinds, not always the same ones.

It's basically portfolio risk diversification. You increase the risk of having some negative effects, by virtue of trying more things, but you hugely decrease the risk of taking one thing excessively that does you a lot of harm in the future.
The correct thing to do is to support politicians who work to ensure net neutrality. That does not describe the Democrats, at best they worked to ensure the courts would decide the fate of net neutrality.
Except that demolishing a rent-controlled apartment is practically illegal.

And in response to the state law requiring ADUs to be legalized in single-family homes, the Board of Supervisors wrote a law requiring ADUs in most single-family homes to be rent-controlled.

Now one of Supervisor Safaí’s friends is even proposing a new building voluntarily put under rent control. It may get killed by city politics, though.

I don't go this far back but I do have fond memories of the Casio Fx 501P (I think that was the number) that I bought in 1980. I agonised long and hard over the decision whether to go for that or the 502P (128 program steps versus 256 steps) but my poor student status made the decision for me. It was a beautiful thing and much much cheaper than HP or TI competitors. I fondly remember conceiving and implementing my first program, of any kind, on that thing. It was a dominoes game, and the "AI" worked by maximising the standard deviation (spread) of the tile values left in your hand to try and avoid being left without a play. Standard deviation was one of the built in functions. Man that was a lovely little machine.

It's not just too much work to set up. It's too much work to play. Standing up and moving around is never going to be as comfortable as lounging on the couch moving only your thumbs.

I think roomscale VR has a real problem as an entertainment medium. People expect it to slot into the same place in their lives as TV and video games, but it doesn't work like that. It's better to think of it as an indoor sport like table tennis (of course, it can literally be table tennis). It can actually work really well as a form of lightweight exercise. But roomscale VR is not what you want for vegging out at the end of the day like TV, and better hardware won't change that.

What really convinced me of this was playing puzzle games in VR. I wanted VR Myst to be awesome, but it's unfortunately quite uncomfortable to stand in place for ten minutes at a time while you ponder some contraption. Wearing a pound on your head doesn't help, but even if the headset weighed nothing it still wouldn't be comfortable just because of the standing. You can't rest, except by sitting on the floor. You can't lean on anything. You can't even put a hand out to steady yourself. It's exhausting.
How does it work from the landlord’s perspective?
I see what you mean now, thanks for the clarification.

5 mins on amazon will find you what you are looking for.
There are a whole bunch of feature phone and basic carrier/prepaid phones out there.
Some of them will also do usb tethering but its a bit difficult to actually set up since it needs obscure drivers.
You can also go for the higher end blackberry which still keeps physical keys and runs full blown android.

Yes and some much ealier than Iran, I’ve studied English since the second grade until 12 (age 7-18) both written and verbal exam are also required to attain a high school diploma.
WhatsApp should invest in clients for feature phones on this markets. If not WhatsApp (with their really really big resources) which other company can make sure that everybody can communicate to eachother no matter if you have a smartphone or feature phone.
Read the class action lawsuit, I found one example for this on page 44, lines 14-16, of the document.

Sadly, the United States operates more on a credit system than relying on having cash or funds upfront. Society regresses towards that when people want things that cost more than what they can afford (e.g. homes, cars, college education). Side effect is that you will have people taking out unnecessary loans just to build up a credit.
> young people have difficulty gaining weight, no matter what they eat, until a certain age

They're not actually eating above their calorific output. This is either because they're not eating as much as they think they are, or because their calorific output happens to be high. The number of calories your body burns at rest can vary a lot, even between people with apparently similar bodies, and over time in the same body. It can even fluctuate a little in response to what you eat. So, whilst calorific intake is the most reliable single indicator of weight gain/loss, it's not necessarily useful unless you are continuously tracking it and noting the effect of small modifications. Calorie counting is psychologically difficult - albeit conceptually straightforward - which is part of the reason why many people turn to fad diets or come up with creative reasons why they don't believe in calories.

I doubt those skinny young people are rigorously counting their calories. They probably have no need or desire to. They're just eating "whatever they want", which for those people at that point in time happens to be roughly equal to their calorific output. If you took that "whatever they want" baseline and added a gallon of (whole) milk per day, you would absolutely see them start to gain weight.

> planking ... keeps my belly flat, even when I have some fat in the mid-section

Right, the shape of your belly - just like the rest of your body - is determined by the amount of muscle and the amount of fat. Decreasing fat and/or (to a degree) increasing muscle will lend your belly a flatter appearance. Planking will stress your abs and obliques, which will produce more muscle in those areas. A larger effect can be achieved by heavy compound movements, especially deadlifts, or isolation exercises like weighted situps. But if you don't lift heavy weights, which I'm guessing you don't, then planking will have a significant effect.

It's all about finding what works for you. What keeps you happy and sane in the long run. For you I suppose it's an equilibrium amount of exercise in order to keep your appearance roughly steady. For me, I love to hit targets and seeing my squat, deadlift and bench numbers go up over the year is very fulfilling. But whatever our goals our, knowing more about the subject at hand can only be a good thing.
Aye, but their second stage and payload delivery have been fiercely reliable. That the client had a custom adapter seems perfect occam-bait in this case.
Personally, several reasons:

- AMP sites, much like most mobile sites, are frequently little more than less-useable versions of the full site

- AMP's forced Javascript transition and loading icon easily overwhelm any questionable loading speed benefits and break flow

- AMP URLs are unusable for copy-paste

- AMP adds further control to the Google web hegemony

- Most importantly, AMP is not optional. If Google was implementing AMP for the good of the user, rather than additional control and data on user activities, they would provide the ability to opt out of their invasive, hostile protocol.

If Google still enjoyed the trust they once did, AMP might be acceptable, though annoying. However, thanks to their continued campaign to monopolize and profiteer off internet users' data, any activities that might allow them to further do so must inherently be viewed in the worst possible light.

The phone mentioned in the article is a $20 feature phone that runs a fork of FirefoxOS. It's not Jio that's blocking the app, just that it's not available on the platform.
Now I don't want to be a downer: but we collectively seem to have forgotten that HTML as a markup language with sufficient semantic elements, is a perfect API in itself. In fact, if we had stuck with XHTML I would've postulated that it would've been an even better API than JSON due to XPath, XQuery and XSLT.

"HyperText is a way to link and access information of various kinds as a web of nodes in which the user can browse at will. Potentially, HyperText provides a single user-interface to many large classes of stored information such as reports, notes, data-bases, computer documentation and on-line systems help. We propose the implementation of a simple scheme to incorporate several different servers of machine-stored information already available at CERN, including an analysis of the requirements for information access needs by experiments… A program which provides access to the hypertext world we call a browser — T. Berners-Lee, R. Cailliau, 12 November 1990, CERN "

Web apps are somewhat backwards in my opinion. We completely lost the idea of a markup language and decided “wait, we need an API”. So we started using JSON instead of the actual document (HTML or XML) to represent the endpoints. And then we patted ourselves on the back claiming “accessibility".
Consistent?

Look at the link you posted. He goes from trading a few thousand shares here and there to trading almost a million in one go.
The point is though, that if enough people do the same study, and only the positive results are published, you're increasing the odds a lot of getting a positive result from someone. That's why companies often finance studies in their drugs. If enough people study their drugs, something which doesn't have a measureable effect, might have a measureable effect in some of these studies.
At which sample size this becomes reasonable is a good question though.
> lashing out at certain groups of his coworkers

Please explain where he was "lashing out" and who those "certain groups of his coworkers" were. Try to be specific.
These are all examples of bugs or badly designed/coded applications. Don't blame JS for bad coding...
Am trying out the brave browser at the moment, it does that pretty well, though for any site that doesn't just work in brave by turning on scripts for a page, I still tend to use firefox or opera, rather than enabling more things on brave.
For me, making a better HTML/CSS and forcing it on everyone contradicts with the openness and accessibility of the web. It's 2018 and still there is no reasonable support of not-so-popular languages and locales in any browser or OS.

Consider a simple blog whose users are used to Jalali calendar. Blocking JS will only make the web more hard to use for them. It took many years for simple date utilities to land in HTML5 standard, and I bet things like decent global localization support will not be part of any standard in the next ten years.

User hostile activities should be prevented, but it should be done by developing more PrivacyBadger like tools, not limiting everyone to a small subset of available technology.
Built-in JavaScript has a better security track record than Flash and it’s ActionScript engine.
Is this any different from any other framework such as Symfony that allows to create regex routes with a controller?
I can't compare it to how it was before but when I lived in my old country I bought something on Google play and now that I am in my new country I cannot download anything that is restricted to that country. There is no way that I can revert to how it was before I gave Google my credit card information. What I can do is give Google my new credit card information, but I don't want to do that simply to download a free country restricted app. What I ended up doing was making a new google play account and not purchasing anything through Google.
The housing crisis is much, much, much older than the 2008 crisis. The underbuilding has been going on for as long as almost everybody can remember.

There are quite a few, but they operate on the same principles AFAIK.
GeoGebra: Dodecahedral Surprise
The notion that there are so many users of digital devices and services because we are running untrusted, unaccounted code that is automatically executed is plain wrong.

Hardware advanced in ways we didn't imagine in the past, and interfaces got better. Society learned about computers as they got cheaper and knowledge spread, while better software tools formed, accelerating the growth of the ecosystem. Nothing of that requires running delivered code upon visiting a random website.

HTML (or whatever standard we come up with) can be expanded to add the needed features, and enrich the web that way. JavaScript is used to lock us in, exactly what the web shouldn't do.
It's more like a countdown to tell how quickly something is going to happen. In this case whatsapp blocking browserling.
Good point, I'll be happy to refer to a company as a unicorn if they do 1 billion in annual revenue and positive net profit.
I'm sorry. I don't get this hatred for amp. Amp is not the problem here. The problem is that we accept third party JavaScript on every page on our monetized website. From what I understand, you can completely self-host and be amp-compliant. Is that not the case? If you care about user experience, you should not let the highest bidder* run JavaScript on your website on your user's devices. Demand your ad network that they provide ads that are just text and images. Demand your ad network to host that text and those images themselves with a reliably low latency and so on. Or better yet, remove the advertising if you care about user experience.

If you are a news organization and Google won't let you be in a certain section without serving on Google, complain.

My understanding is that AMP exists to solve a problem. It obviously isn't the only way to solve that problem.
The scary thing is that without mitigations, it is shockingly easy to pull off. WebKit engineers made multiple fully working exploits internally and we would be hard pressed to do that for other kinds of vulnerabilities. Building full exploits out of your run of the mill use-after-free bug is much harder and requires specific expertise.

Fortunately these mitigations make it way harder.
I would be interested to know how only children fall into this analysis. If the oldest child has more intellectual curiosity because they received more attention, you'd expect only children to have received even more attention still.
>Man that was a lovely little machine.

Indeed. There even was a little dot matrix printer peripheral by Casio. It printed on silvery rolls of aluminium-coated paper, I think by electrically burning out dots from the coating. I did ASCII plots of function graphs on it. And some love notes to my girlfriend. Fond memories...

I'd solve that by not having that large main display enabled at all when the car is moving, or at least not having hard to reach areas or gestures enabled other than from the passenger seat.

Voice control is often even worse. If something makes me have an accident it's probably when I say "call charlie" and the thing says "Calling crazy ex girlfriend" (without confirmation). That happens.
A mode which progressively throttles performance until it becomes unusable with controls to vary the throttle rate and the expiry time would be useful.

Parents could give their kids the device which (deepening on settings or detection of compulsive use) would actively restrict their screen time.
Tech names have lost the plot. We really really need to get past this "Pick a really common English word and name your brand that, so it's impossible to search for and confuses people when discussed" thing.
Well, if google can't do it properly then who can? Also, I was talking about SPAs specifically not JS in general.
Care to illustrate some details?
No, they have a marketing company run their amp website.
Let’s try another more illustrative question - what would the reaction be if he were an Indian in India doing that to Indians or doing it to Americans.

There would definitely be outrage.

As other people have said, he comes across as lacking humanity. Especially as the people using Jio phones would be the kind of people who are not rich or well off.

In fairness to the person, he could just be clueless and doesn’t really think of the people trying to use his service as people.

Hmm. That makes him sound worse.

I know a friend who thinks like that, And Is not a bad person....

I don’t know - this guy comes across as if he doesn’t realize that he is manipulating people less informed and weaker than him like someone orchestrating ants into following sugar.
RadVel: The Radial Velocity Modeling Toolkit
CPUs will only accept uploads of microcode if they can verify the digital signature, of which the private keys are only known to the CPU manufacturer (i.e. Intel or AMD). Probably it will also only allow upgrades, not downgrades, on a running system. So the only "attack" you can perform if you've gained root is to patch CPU security vulnerabilities by upgrading to a newer valid microcode, and then also only until the next reboot.
Still shite. AMP still breaks scrolling and results in weird stub pages that are missing features. And I can't turn it off.

AMP-enabled pages load faster, but on the other hand I have an ad-blocker and LTE that gets 10Mbps, so the improvement is negligible. Not worth breaking the web, IMHO.
From what I can tell, all that Browserling is doing is allowing you to browse as if you were on another browser, and the Indian users are simply wanting to access the Whatsapp web app (https://web.whatsapp.com/). That must mean that Jio is somehow preventing its users from fully using that webapp. Doesn't matter that there isn't a native Whatsapp app in FirefoxOS.
Also I admire the engineers having developed the firmware for these machines in the eighties under God knows what conditions. It was flawless.
