> I think people forget how bad the mass media situation was (...)

Good point. Come to think of it, Facebook is a huge improvement over what came before. Some could say that the pre-Facebook blogging era was better, but I don't think those times ever had a chance of growing to encompass regular people. Most of the people who now share their lives on social media wouldn't bother hosting their own blogs. This thought colors my next point:

> Bottom up switch over to open source is a viable market solution to market monopolies.

I don't buy it for the same reason I think Internet-of-blogs wasn't a stable state - it's much easier to take open-source code and turn it into business than it is to take a business and make it open source. Open source, by its nature, avoids attracting money, and money is exactly how you win mindshare. You say, "If Android or Linux become the market standard in OSs for example", but the truth is that the only Android that could become a market standard is the Google Android, and Linux has no chance in hell as long as Microsoft and Apple have money to better tailor (and market) their OSes to end users (regular people and corporations).

If anything, Open source has proven to be primarily successful for building blocks - libraries, frameworks, server operating systems, etc. Basically all the things that are not core to doing business. Sure, some of the things that open source displaced were market niches before - but they were all supporting infrastructure. The only sort-of-exception I can think of here is Google Chrome, but it only reduced Microsoft's monopoly, while enabling Google's monopoly.

Ironically, web browsers are what ultimately killed end-user open source software. With SaaS being the dominant model of software deployment these days, there is no open source. You don't know what code actually runs on third party servers. You can't run it yourself easily (or most commonly, at all). We've completely lost the ability to download, inspect, modify and share most of the software we use, and "in exchange", we also let third parties take our data hostage.

No, this development does not sound like open source being an alternative to market monopolies. In fact, it sounds like the exact opposite.
so much pride in this article because the dutch helped big brother US.

but why did AIVD hack the russians in the first place?
Can unfortunately confirm that friends at both Lyft and Uber have in the past known my ride history. I admittedly had to push a bit jokingly for either to look it up, but the fact that it is even possible for insiders to access internal production databases makes me suspect this problem is far more widespread than just at ridesharing companies.

I wonder who at Fastmail can read user emails? Who at Heroku can access my code or ENV secrets? Can bank employees see recent transactions, bypassing ACH verification deposits’ “Security”?

Sad how rare end to end encryption is as a feature in 2018.
Yes, read-reading it it looks like you are right.
Thinking about all the servers I've run over the years, I think DNS is one that was most satisfying in a weird way. Incredibly handy also for making amendments to a bunch of records.

> I'm I the only one who does not believe a word any intel agency says?

Which words in particular do you not believe? If an intel agency tells you they are gathering intel on geopolitical adversaries that sounds pretty plausible to me. And in this case there seems to be plenty of corroboration from other sources - not that that should have ever happened.
As a dutch person I want to make one thing very clear.

We mostly distinguish not between Republicans and Democrats (since neither fits any political identity here), but between people that make everything about politics and people who don't.

To suggest we fall for the same partisan trap that is currently responsible for the complete cultural and social fabric unraveling in the US is insulting.

We are a much more cultural homogenous country. Our political extremes are not debating whether the earth is round, climate change is happening or if our AIVD has video of Russians hackers doing these actual things.

The fact that Holland shared this information with the US during both presidents (Obama, Trump) is because we have a bone to pick with Russia after they shot down a plane with many dutch citizen in them above Ukraine.

The reason this information comes out at this particular moment, i.e. the timing. Is because Trump bragged to Putin about how the US has such good friends they could see the Russian hackers (remember this happening? Your agencies getting angry at Trump for leaking secrets?). That likely destroyed the operation. So now the timing of the leak of this factually correct information is all about how to do him (personally) the most harm.

This is not Republicans or Democrats. This is about Trump and Putin both getting a knee for their disrespect to us. Please be smart enough to not stand in the way.

> How long do you think Amazon's stock price would stay high if no new investors could be found?

If, in your hypothetical example, the reason there were no buyers was completely unrelated to the performance of Amazon as a company

And the price of Amazons stocks dropped enough, eventually it would reach a point where Amazon would start buying its stocks back as it would be financially nonsensical to not do so
When I was a child, I managed to go events largely unsupervised and without a phone. I would already be told what to do in the event of getting separated in an emergency, such as having pre-arranged rendezvous points unique to my group.

> If they've run away from the venue without first unlocking their phone, they end up wandering around outside, at night, alone after a significant event such as this.

Only if their responsible adults don't take reasonable precautions. What happens when a child loses a phone or has one stolen? They should have a plan before going, whether phones are restricted or not.
I read in a different article that the creator of another darknet market ran their entire operation on a WooCommerce store with a nice MySQL database...of course carefully „preserving“ that precious customer data.
The British government are after him because, after he was allowed to enter the country and having gone through due process, his European arrest warrant was upheld and he absconded. That has nothing to do with state secrets and, so far, the US haven't asked for him to be extradicted.

As the US has the concept of a closed warrant,it's not currently possible to know if he's wanted by them. It's not exactly inconceivable.
You are right, I would have to be asking the reader to special case medium or search up the path from the post. In this case it is Feedly which is excellent and does special case the xkcd alt text so I was a little surprised they didn’t do the dirty work.
The outlets who published this news (Volkskrant and NOS) are reliable, and even the responsible minister has more-or-less confirmed the story.

Of course, this news comes at a time when there is a (non-binding) ballot coming about dragnet surveillance here. So clearly this news is helpful for some parties.
As far as I know all you have to do is configure your ~/.ssh/config properly, and then use the hostnames set there. Same as regular old OpenSSH.

Just don't opt into the Paramiko control scheme, which isn't used by default except on RHEL6 anyway.

You can also set ssh_args in the config file to enable ControlMaster, etc. http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/intro_configuration.h...
I recently started looking into Lumens and can't figure out the value proposition of the token.

AFAIK the stellar network purports to be a place where you can do peer to peer exchanges of currencies, with Lumens being one of them, but on the stellar website they say things like:

> Why does the Stellar network need a native asset?
> The Stellar network offers all of the innovative features of a shared public ledger on a distributed database—often referred to as blockchain technology. The Stellar network’s built-in currency, the lumen, serves two purposes:
>
> First, lumens play a small anti-spam role.
> Each transaction has a minor fee—0.00001 lumens—associated with it. This fee prevents users with malicious intentions from flooding the network (otherwise known as a DoS attack). Lumens work as a security token, mitigating DoS attacks that attempt to generate large numbers of transactions or consume large amounts of space in the ledger.
>
> Similarly, the Stellar network requires all accounts to hold a minimum balance of 20 lumens. This requirement ensures that accounts are authentic, which helps the network maintain a seamless flow of transactions.
>
> Second, lumens may facilitate multi-currency transactions.
>
> Lumens sometimes facilitate trades between pairs of currencies between which there is not a large direct market, acting as a bridge. This function is possible when there is a liquid market between the lumen and each currency involved.

and

> They reference recent results from the World Values Survey, where respondents were asked how much they agreed with the claim that, "If a woman earns more money than her husband, it's almost certain to cause problems."

That sounds a bit to me like a push poll. I wonder if you phrased the question in a gender-neutral way how the responses would change.
I can't get to the full article here, but naively, I'd expect "Illness increasing stress on the bodily systems increases likelihood of heart attack" to be the unsurprising result. Is there some other reason that we'd expect this not to be the case? Are there other infections as agressive that don't increase the risk in similar ways? Or did we just suspect this and haven't had the data to back it up before?

i.e. I'm not sure why this is interesting or revelatory? The free summary doesn't seem to answer this.

The difference is that most people feel like they understand cereal, although the marketing for most cereals are directly targeting children it's just a box of cereal so nobody cares.

Most people don't understand Google or Facebook (or even the internet as a generalized service) so saying advertisements are manipulating people in regards to that pushes some beyond the threshold of comfort. It's not really the one thing that causes an issue for them, but the whole stack of other things behind it that eventually causes them to focus on a singular point that's easiest for them to complain about. Nobody wants to complain about their personal lack of knowledge, but a big bad unknown scary thing is easy to rally against.
It might in the US. I haven't noticed any difference here in Sweden. The only practical differences involve inheritance and child custody in the event of my wife dying.
Many companies have userdata access heavily restricted and audit every access. It's not that hard to log all queries to production that don't come from the system. And if a developer runs queries against the production database that should pop up somewhere immediately.

Not different in banks, any lookup of customer accounts is monitored and checked. Looking up a friend's account will get you fired immediately (or worse).

We (the Rollup team) would never criticise webpack in a forum like this in order to promote our own alternative (except maybe on Twitter, because trolling Sean is just too tempting) — it's an outstanding project, and we all talk to each other and learn from each other.

Keep in mind that the story broke in the United States first because someone could not keep their mouth shut, effectively destroying this operation.
Absolutely. Also, Tesla doesn't really have the network effects that other industries have (like search). Companies with similar cultural cache are also catching-up like BMW...

> Even in the marriages with the most "woke" husbands I see among my friends, the wife almost always ends up both doing more and spending more mental energy on the home.

A lot of people here seem to assume that living together and being married it's the same thing.

You can have one without the other. Please don't make this assumption.
NOS is our public broadcaster and is by definition not independent.

Volkskrant is known to fabricate fake news long before the word existed ( i.e. the 'Martel hoax' )
If the husbands aren't doing more than their share around the house they are not really woke but just nodding in agreement. Having said that, I agree that women spend more 'mental' energy on the home as they are the ones being judged by friends and family. The solution is to task husbands with more of the unskilled labor household chores.
I almost thought this was going to be an ad for KX as part of the subject is their slogan...

Glad to see open source tools in this space gaining traction.
A marriage isn't comprised of gender-neutral actors.
>The solution, in my opinion, would be to continue to erase traditional gender roles.

While it may nice to imagine an idyllic world devoid of gender roles, that simply is not reality across the board. Each couple has their own idiosyncrasies and forcing a social pattern or demeaning traditional ones always ends in failure.

There is a continuum of personalities, yet recent movements seem to assume a strict dichotomy exists and seek to tear down a division that is unique to each individual.

This is not to say that you should assume a traditional role, only that before offering a one-size-fits-all solution it is worth keeping in mind that what works for you will not necessarily do so for others. Certain acts such as abuse, murder and theft are universally accepted as wrong; it's when opinion becomes demand that respect fades and hostility builds. It happens in both male and female-led societies.

A simpler solution may be to encourage individual discovery with awareness of history - what is occurring now is nothing new :)
The most annoying thing with phones is that they distract other people. You might be kind enough to not use your phone during a collective event, but other people are not. Frankly I don't care about it in a concert as you go there for the music most of the time, but I've seen people have use phones in every single movie I saw at a cinema and at every single theatre play I've been to, even in post-modern shows in tiny venues with much less than 50 seats. There are lots of idiots that can't look at something interesting without capturing it in photo and video, distracting everybody including the performers, who may indeed not want the performance recorded.

A comment higher up says treat people like adults. Adults are not adult adults. They are more like monkeys that compulsively do things and then maybe, only maybe think if what they did was appropriate or not.
To be honest, this is very standard tradecraft to security folks.

If this kind of thing is interesting, I’d recommend a read of Kim Zetters “countdown to zero day” about stuxnet. A piece of malware potentially as old as 2005, but an order of magnitude more sophisticated than what’s being described with the DNC
Rollup has a powerful plugin interface that lets you transform and load files of any kind — see here for a (possibly non-exhaustive) list: https://github.com/rollup/rollup/wiki/Plugins

Historically Rollup has indeed been more widely adopted among library authors (React, Vue, D3, Three.js, Leaflet, Moment, etc), though there's no reason it can't be used for apps — lots of us are doing just that.

In fairness, I think 2 of the 3 clinicians involved are American.

And before you get excited about the wonders of Europe, I'm pretty sure our rights in this regard are the same as those in the US i.e. covered by Article 25.

However, what you don't have, and nor do we, is the right to access to healthcare without being arrested for a crime for which there's an outstanding warrant. The right to immunity to arrest, is somewhat more debatable even in Europe.
Yep - if one of you doesn't work(or earns less than about 11k/year) - and only if the other partner earns less than 45k/year! - you get to take 230 quid off your tax bill. I wouldn't call it an "enormous significant break".
Good suggestion. I was thinking the same thing. A cheap radio, eggbeater antenna, and gpredict will get you started. No need for a license just to see if you can hear one, but once you do, you'll probably want to get one. Luckily satellites tend to operate in VHF and UHF, so the lowest license class is all you need.
"Stop looking at my house from the public street! It's not authorized!"
Which means there is more demand for upper educated men since they are in demand by both educated and uneducated women.

As another commented has suggested this might not be an issue when gender roles get removed, but I have a sneaking suspicion that this will just leave both parties unsatisfied with the result.

I would argue that innate biological differences contribute to the different gender based desires, and hence affect the different gender roles.
You're pretty foolish to make such blatant statements without any source to back it up. Just because the NOS is a public broadcaster doesn't mean they're not independnant.

Actually by law the goverment has no say in it's content and it is in no way beholden to corporate interests since it is a non-profit that doesn't need ads.
Do you see a date anywhere? All I could read in the article was that JSCU was launched in 'the summer of 2014' and received a tip about Cozy Bear that same summer. And MH17 was shot down July 17, 2014, so it seems like it depends entirely on a precise date for that tip whether it happened before or after the shootdown.
I just recently had a problem with Wayland where qemu with VGA would not start at all, complaining about SDL not being able to find a video device. I eventually tried just logging out and then into Xorg and then it started working again.

> Not every firm has the resources or know-how to do all that

The upcoming EU Data Protection law (GDPR) has fines for data protection breeches. It can be up €20 million or 4% of global revenue. And NGOs can sue you on behalf of affected people. When there's a price tag on non-compliance, suddenly it becomes easier to justify allocating resources to doing it (or paying someone else to tell you how to do it).
> I thought the whole point of AI was that the program itself is effectively a black box, even to the programmers.

No, it isn't. In fact, it's the opposite of a responsible approach to AI, and one of the reason why you have smart people screaming about dangers of uncontrolled intelligence explosion.

Being a black box is a feature of a particular method people now choose to do AI - namely, neural networks. Neural networks are basically chains of multiplications, additions and thresholding; you start throwing tons of data at them and have it tweak its coefficients, until the result sorta looks like what you want. The knowledge hidden in those coefficients is almost completely opaque to us ("an open research problem").

People use deep learning because it's effective, but I hope that we go back to methods we're able to trace and analyze before we attempt to bootstrap a general AI.
In your eyes, what does this make China?
A few years ago I participated in the AIVD's cyber challenge. It involved reverse engineering an executable, spotting a flaw in the (custom) crypto algorithm which made it brute-forcable and then finally going to some train station where a final clue was hidden. After that, we, the people who solved the puzzle (5 or 6 iirc) were invited to the AIVD offices for a chat with the authors and a bit of PR and a tour through the museum (during which the big boss offered jobs (whispering) to a few of us). I was impressed by their skills, never expected that from government people really.

You greatly overestimate the influence of academics in present-day politics.

> The Hungarian government's beef with Soros is that he's rich, he supports the EU's efforts to take away Hungary's voting rights (i.e. making it formally a vassal state of the EU with no power in it at all), he funds political causes that the elected government opposes and so on. It has nothing to do with him being a Jew.

Come on. If he were a white guy from Kansas named Smith, the Hungarian government would just ignore him. He makes a highly convenient lighting rod for various nationalist angsts in Central Europe by filling the outlines of a centuries old stereotype.

The talk of Hungary becoming a vassal state is nonsense. When Hungary joined the EU, its government accepted a binding treaty to uphold certain values. The current government is free to walk away -- that same treaty contains a termination article which Britain is currently exercising. Of course Hungary doesn't actually want to leave the EU because they're major net winners both in terms of direct EU funding and in having access to the internal market.
Do you think it would be any different for a speech from one of the Koch brothers? People who use their wealth to directly influence the political process are particularly reviled by their ideological opponents.
I'm guessing when they have your inputs and outputs matched in a hypercubed skinnerbox, "marketing" would seem as quaint as "alchemy" of yore.

(If that is not clear enough - a scientific way to extract all your available economic margin by ways of manipulating you. Of course in a race with competitors to the bottom, knifing each other with the same algorithms. I should write a dystopic scifi book.)
