What about phones that have already been bought? You can easily get a phone today that runs an open source OS and boatloader: As bad as this bill may be, I doubt they could justify confiscating all of them, but short of that there is no way to enforce that law.

Similarly with computers - with a law like this in place Linux cannot exist.

You would just end up paying more (directly or indirectly) while still having the representatives using the same problematic system, now from their end.
An extension can only read/modify pages that it has explicitly requested to be able to read/modify in its manifest. In this case, the extension has requested to read/modidy "https://*/*" (which is necessary since Medium is often used to power other domains).

It is sadly true that most extensions which do anything useful end up needing to request permission to all web sites. And that's why I mostly refuse to use extensions...

I'm not very familiar with Richard Spencer. Can show me an example where he self-describes as fascist? I couldn't find anything relevant on the wikipedia page. Ditto with breitbart being "obviously fascist". I might accept it being a right-wing tabloid, but that seems about as silly as calling huffington post "obviously communist".

I've noticed terms like "fascist", "white supremacist", "far-right" are thrown about fairly casually, while calling self-proclaimed communists "communists" is often met with derision or denial.
>Funny. If your site drops dramatically on Google's search results, or if YouTube/Facebook bans your account for reasons, tough luck. They are a corporation and can do whatever they want without resorting to any sort of internal consistency.

That's not really relevant to the parent's observation that Facebook is likely arguing that they're being singled out in an environment where their practices are so rampant as to be standard.

>But heaven forbid governments hold a dominant corporation accountable in the public interest.

"accountable to the public interest" is an incredibly disingenuous way to say "enforce their laws". The difference matters in this context because the counter argument would be "why is the law being enforced predominantly against a handful of American companies instead of the industry at large?"
> Design patterns were meant to future proof code

That's a misguided but unfortunately common view. Best practice is to refactor to patterns, don't try to divining them from the start.

Tell that to the crackhead living in the rustbelt with no job. I know you can make the stats look like living standards are on the up and up but you would be ignoring the huge issue of income inequality which is root cause of the political instability the west is experiencing.

The OP's point in this context is spot on, positive psychology not only has nothing to offer this growing lower class but it's more and more looking like it's a net negative to them.
Furthermore, that strategy doesn't have to be a one shot deal, where the message says "believe me" before it is proven trustworthy. You can have little pieces of information that demonstrate neat tricks, leading to progressively increasing trust until the full payload is unveiled, for better or worse.
Apple has a large part of their reputation built on security and privacy, neither of which is at all possible with arbitrary government censorship software baked into every device.

It's mass hysteria.

Not fucking hard to work this out. All evedence points to this from day one. Only thing of interest is they continue to not say this. There's some evedence someone is trying to cover it up as well, perhaps. The release of the recording happened within hours of the obvious mass hysteria being main streamed in the media. Might just be a low level sticking to their guns but the higher levels are allowing it to happen.

This is just more junk science. Actually it's interesting in a theoretical way, but passing it off as a possibility is where the junk science comes in. This is not a possible explanation.
There’s another part to the story which I have told to the folks at SJG, but to which they never responded.

In late 1990, I was working in the basement of the Pentagon, supporting the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in the J4 Logistics Readiness Center, inside the National Military Command Center. I was a gamer, but I also had a TS/SCI security clearance. I had heard about the SS raid on SJG, and I was pissed off. So, I decided to spend a lot of money and go out and buy one copy of every GURPS book that I could find at my friendly local gaming store (FLGS).

I had a copy of GURPS CyberPunk, and didn’t think very much of it. I was already in a CyberPunk game, and the GURPS version was a pale imitation. But there was another book that drew my attention. It was oriented towards espionage, and among other things it gave a very accurate description of how satellite surveillance worked. It also happened to use an actual classified military code word in the context of explaining what a classified military code word was and how they were used.

The latter was a clear violation of the law, and as soon as I saw it, I reported it to my security officer. He confirmed that this was a legitimate leak of a classified military code word, and he said he would report it further up the chain of command.

I never heard anything more about it from inside the government, but I have to believe that the SS and the FBI would use a coverup like pointing at a different book, if this was the actual reason that they were doing a raid on SJG.

So, there you go — almost 30 years later, yet another clue as to what might have been the real reason for the raid.

NB: When a classified military code word is leaked, they have to go through a huge process to reclassify all the documents that were covered under the old code word. This is a massive undertaking, and would cost millions or possibly even billions of dollars. And then there is the cost of the damage to National Security by all the documents which might already be in enemy hands but where they didn’t know what the code word covered or what compartment those documents were in. So, a leak of this type would be ... a really big deal.
There's room for both reasons. Sometimes when you're working with massive sets of tabular data you don't want to be doing it over a network mounted drive.

I recall a case where a trio of Serbians managed to observe the roulette wheel bias and profit in a short timeframe. From memory their measurements gave them a window of 6 numbers to bet on, so 1/6 odds on a 1/37 roulette wheel. The best part is they were allowed to keep the winnings as they didn't actually tamper with the casino's equipment

However, Chrome will automatically update the extension.

Things that could go wrong:

* The author could wake up in a bad mood one day and decide to push a malicious update.

* The author's computer could be compromised, and someone could steal the signing keys and publish a malicious version of the extension.

* The author could get bored of the extension and transfer ownership to someone who offers to maintain it for them, but who turns out to be malicious.

* The author could be in need of some cash and could decide to accept one of the many offers they no doubt get from shady parties to buy their extension.

I'm sure the author of this extension would never do any of these things... but I'm not sure enough to risk it. :/

I think the epidemics attributed to European explorers encountering the Americas are literally an example of unleashing unaudited alien codes on people.

I used to read old Analog magazines in high school, and I distinctly recall a short story about people picking up a transmission with a radio telescope, which told them how to build a computer - basically a form of alien invasion based on the fact that radio transmissions are the only practical way of interstellar travel.

I had a friend in undergrad who would gamble on Friday nights (poker, at the casino, if I remember right). Gamble, but not drink. I would bug him sometimes about the money he was throwing away.

Then one day he said "Tony, you know what the difference is between my Friday night [at the casino] and your Friday night [at the bar]? There's some probability that I'll have more money at the end of the night than I started with."

And I quit bugging him!

No, it isn't. Trading one civil liberty for another is a negative-sum game.
The enforcement of laws matters just as much as the quantity of the laws in my opinion. In this case the argument being made by Facebook is basically "everyone does this so why are we being selectively targeted?" Obviously it makes sense to start with the biggest offenders but it's hard to believe that the EU's apparent tunnel vision on applying the law to American companies is because of a lack of resources.
> If you're a supporter of minimal legislation then what's wrong with the courts handling it, as in this case?

Simple: that the courts won't handle it. It is not reasonable to expect either customers or the courts to actively go after companies that use this sort of tracking internationally.

They can go after companies with a global presence, by doing so locally, and of course because these companies will actually fight it instead of just ignoring them. So Facebook is a target of convenience, but convicting it will not yield any results (if necessary Facebook will just use an intermediary, besides Facebook is being targeted because politicians like to stick it to Facebook atm).

You can say "just change the law", but a lot needs to happen beside that to make this practice stop. None of that is happening, so this practice won't stop as a result of this. It's just a PR grab for some politicians.
I get the feeling making something like that a reality would entail getting lots of poets/writers to get on Ello, then basically campaigning to get "awareness" of text based art.

Ello is pretty beautifully designed and the stuff I saw some great art on there, so I'm happy that they're doing what they do best.

I looked at that site, but the data here is hard to verify, and the methodology is a bit unclear. E.g., coal energy only has a coal material flow, the wind turbine only a steel material flow. I'm not even sure if that means that the turbine has a life expectancy of so many GW and then is considered evaporated. I suppose coal plans are made of cotton candy, or the material per GWh is negligible ?

Trying to figure this out, a nuclear plant might have 1GW capacity and a lifetime of 30 years, so ≈260,000 hours. [1] seems to suggest a plant would need 40,000t of steel, or about 0.16t steel/GWh over the lifetime, with coal plans using over twice that. My math might be off, or the assumptions might be wrong.

CERT has always had a reputation that far outstripped its impact or contributions, and has in general been a force working against public disclosure. Serious vulnerability researchers have never relied on them, and my definition of "never" goes back into the mid-1990s --- when CERT and FIRST were really an activist effort to co-opt vulnerability research for the interests of large vendors.

I'm sure good people work there now, and they'll be fine. If all of CERT's public web presence goes away, I won't miss them.
>Trying to tie this into "human trafficking" is a cruel diversion, just like pornography, terrorism, and drugs.

More than that, it's downright frustrating. Human trafficking is a very real problem in America. It's not even just a problem that applies to illegal Asian or Latin American immigrants either (which might sound like a strange distinction but I've met people with this view). Teens are immensely vulnerable as well and it's ridiculous that something this serious is being used as just another tool in the war on pornography that some groups have been waging for decades.

I agree. But time and time again, Apple does something risky, it catches on (or at least doesn't matter as much as people think), and their decision proliferates throughout the industry while commentators tweet sarcastic, oh-so-clever barbs about "courage".

> I’m using sessions/cookies for keeping state and keeping the user logged in

Good. Sessions are the standard for a reason, and it's currently considered best practice. And if you've got a session ID, and your clients support cookies, then sure, use cookies for storing them.

> will using JWT (with the token stored in the cookie) to keep the user logged in instead of sessions/cookies make my application more secure

No. Probably less secure, although if you know what you're doing you can mitigate the issues. But certainly not more secure.

My own (non-scientific) opinion is related to this. In my experience, resistance to negative emotions is a much more crucial ingredient to happiness. As I’ve been gradually maturing during my life, I think the biggest improvement is that I’m quite emotionally stable. Small and unimportant things don’t bother me much at all, which really helps when it comes to leading a happy and fulfilling life. Especially as negative experiences are supposed to have a greater impact that positive ones.
Some countries will mandate electrics, but ICE engines will be the mainstream globally for the next 20 years and still common for at least a couple decades after that.
I'm also an autodidact and my understanding is that radically agnostic epistemology (such as you suggest) is not very useful. the idea of a delusion presupposes that one could have a correct understanding of reality, at least in theory. the most basic assertion we can make about reality is identity, that is, a thing is itself. the purpose of a logical syllogism is to reduce an apparently complicated chain of identities to a tautology. [0]

rejection of the principle of identity leaves one at the point where no further intersubjective dialogue is meaningful. which is why Avicenna said that anyone who denies the identity should be beaten until he acknowledges that "to be beaten" is not the same as "to not be beaten" and he should be burned until he acknowledges that "being burned" is not the same as "not being burned." [1]

I'm very interested in any corrections, comments, or other replies. I'm also aware that there are other approaches to logic besides the aristotelian approach I have tried to convey above. an example of a non-aristotelian attempt at communicating would be e-prime [2].

I'm not trying to defend/support the GP/sibling commenter, but rather to provide a more sober perspective for you to contemplate.

The issue is not whether Nazis were/are bad. You can feel safe in the assumption that all but an extreme fringe minority are in consensus that Nazi philosophies and practices were horrific beyond comprehension.

What we should contemplate and discuss, however, is what were the economic and cultural conditions that led to the rise of Nazism in Europe in the 30s, and how it came to be accepted, supported and enabled/served by such a large proportion of the population.

Only by fully understanding these issues can we take effective measures to ensure such a movement never takes hold ever again, and ensure that we as individuals are equipped with the strength and judgement to avoid succumbing to populist bigotry any time we see it.

Overall latency is important. Where it comes from isn't very important. Transferring data a few light-nanos of distance into or out of a colocated Mongo DB instance simply isn't going to move the needle on any important metric.

> The gist of the model legislation is this: Device manufacturers would be forced to install "obscenity filters" on cell phones, tablets, computers, and any other Internet-connected devices. Those filters could only be removed if consumers pay a $20 fee.

Assuming that the device manufacturers do not actually want to participate in this, is there anything that stops them from making the removal code be some simple function of the serial number, and throwing up a website that will compute that function for $20? It will quickly get cracked, of course, and for the most part won't serious inconvenience anyone during the time it takes to get the stupid law overturned.
