Disclaimer; I don't work at Intel, nor in any other processor design house, nor in a fab, etc.

And honestly, look at what is variant 1, before spreading uninformed opinion. It is fundamental to speculative execution. You can have some form of hardware support, and actually both Intel, AMD, ARM, and probably others, have begun some work on the subject, but it is in the form of instructions that can be added or replaced in the software at the right spot, because there is absolutely no way to have a speculative enough HW enforce security for variant 1 without some software help: it is not an architectural or a microarchitectural problem; it is a fundamental logic problem...

My opinion is that we need extensible tagging in programing languages quickly, for that, and other subjects.
Regardless of whether IMSI Catchers constitute according-to-Hoyle "parallel construction" or not, Palantir is database software. It's not a SIGINT source.
I could believe that they used illegal Palantir and retconned a search warrant. I could believe they did an illegal search and retconned a Palantir insight. But I'd like to know which claim is being made. Is Palantir the crime or the coverup?

>"Our support team first became aware of connectivity problems for Turkish ProtonMail users starting on Tuesday. After further investigation, we determined that protonmail.com was unreachable for both Vodafone Turkey mobile and fixed line users. Since then, we have also received some sporadic reports from users of other Turkish ISPs. At one point, the issue was prevalent in every single major city in Turkey. After investigating the issue along with members of the ProtonMail community in Turkey, we have confirmed this is a government-ordered block rather than a technical glitch. Internet censorship in Turkey tends to be fluid so the situation is constantly evolving"

Vodaphone like every major ISP has a NOC. Did Prontomail reach out to the ISP to see if it was a routing issue?

I don't see that mentioned above anywhere in the investigation methodology. How did you confirm that it was a "government-ordered block" if you only worked with "members of the ProtonMail community'?
I'm using google maps location sharing for that. It's built-in and easy to toggle.

What alternatives might be available that simultaneously preserve due process for both the accusor and accused when potential damages are anywhere from zero to less than the costs of filing a lawsuit?

In the US, I'm not sure if small claims courts would handle such a speculative case.

We could set up extrajudicial processes via executive bureaucracy, but the end result is simply less transparent courts.

I suppose we could compel businesses to manually validate takedown requests and the like... I am also imagining that would be ripe for abuse to the point it ends up being used antagonistically and ultimately drives down shared revenue for all participants to offset the cost.

In order to integrate more renewables onto the grid (which are non-dispatchable generation), we need to add more generation and load flexibility on the grid.

This means you need more communications between all the various parts running the grid. So it's not just the switch that opens the valve at the gas turbine power plant that you have to worry about (which I agree is easy to be air-gapped and interlocked). You also have to worry about manipulation of the communication ecosystem that let all the various grid actors coordinate so everything stays in sync.

EDIT: Also, remember that power engineers are extremely good at running the grid and keeping the lights on. They are NOT experienced at protecting it from cyber attacks. Unfortunately, neither the intelligence community or tech sector that is actually good at cyber defense (Google, Apple, Facebook, etc.) has not offered to help add cyber defenses and these physical infrastructures. So, the only parties who have been doing the grid cyberdefense work have been security theater companies ("enterprise" security).
I'm confused. What was the hack?

No, the problem with parallel construction is that it involves the introduction of tainted evidence into the law enforcement process. The fundamental protection we have against the abuse of surveillance and searches is the Exclusionary Rule, which dictates that the entire chain of evidence that begins with unconstitutional search is off-limits in prosecution. Parallel construction sidesteps that by avoiding the introduction of tainted evidence into cases at all, while still taking advantage of it during investigation.

But Palantir is a mechanism for collecting and analyzing evidence, not generating new evidence. It's database software. Policing has been predictive for decades; without Palantir, the police just use even dumber predictive methods.
My best guess is that their plan A of getting a lot of money out of unauthorized users didn't pan out, so they switched to plan B: open-source it in order to make the ecosystem more attractive and discourage people from leaving the ecosystem.

The distances voyageurs could cover in a day was incredible. Even the many portages did little to slow them down.

When they didn't have to haul 3 tons of trade goods they could really fly, like when travelling with Mackenzie looking for the northwest passage.

George Simpson (later HBC governor) made his way from the shores of Hudson Bay to the mouth of the Columbia River by canoe. He did use a horse for the Athabasca pass, but that's hardly cheating. He set a record by doing it in 80 days with a light load. For 1824 that was incredibly fast since it's about a 4000 km trip.
> police departments predict crime routinely. It's a core part of what it means to run a large city police department. You don't allocate patrols uniformly across the city; that makes no sense.

Predicting crime at the geographic level is much different than predicting it at the individual level, in terms of people's freedom and rights. EDIT: And even on the geographic level, it leads to many abuses including 'stop and frisk'.
I hope at least for now the speed/delay issues are fixed.
Destroy All Software: A Compiler from Scratch
This is one of those articles interesting to new programmers. The actual answer is that currency is complicated; any small library you will write it likely to forget some complication; and, absent new open source you should go commercial. For example, glance over the list of classes in the "money.h++" which was sold decades ago (http://docs.roguewave.com/legacy-hpp/mnyug/2-9.html)

TL;DR: The article is Too Long; Don't Read.

I doubt it. Try looking at the supported subset: https://int-index.github.io/kalium/pascal.pdf It's not a long document (two pages).

TeX is written in a subset of Pascal too (so it can compile to C).

I can't find any particular documentation of what subset TeX uses, but considering the strong limitations in the Kalium documentation, I would be very much surprised if Kalium was a superset of the WEB2C supported subset of Pascal that TeX uses.

That one is interesting! I wonder how smart it is.

For instance in the following example:

class foo
{
public:
std::pair<int, int> get_coordinates() const { return std::make_pair(m_x, m_y); }

private:
int m_x;
int m_y;
};

void test(foo *ptr)
{
if (ptr->m_x >= 3)
;// etc
}

I wonder if the compiler would be able to figure out that m_x is accessible via `ptr->get_coordinates().first` ?

Did you read my comment?

I read the article and responded to a comment overemphasizing the importance of determining race from DNA.

> So we can see that not only are the classes used more precise than just "black" or "white", but there is empirical evidence that they can be predicted from DNA.

There is no implication from my comment denying the ability to derive an individual's race from DNA. Nor would I ever suggest that you could not predict race using DNA, I am simply questioning the value of doing so. Information from DNA is extremely precise, so diluting the information to interpret race is degrading its potential. As pointed out by others, the human categorization of race is an inaccurate, archaic taxonomy.

Even using the law enforcement aspect of the Wired article, you can clearly demonstrate why race is an antiquated distinction to make when evaluating DNA. If you have more information from DNA, why stop at race? Technology is developing to render facial models from DNA. IMO that is a far superior use of DNA than determining, "Your guy could be African-American or Afro-Caribbean, but there is no chance that this is a Caucasian."
I use the Phong reflection model (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phong_reflection_model), which gives materials a distinct plasticky look. Peter's materials are either purely diffuse, purely reflective or glass-like (the third one is something I didn't cover in the course at all).

Peter also uses area lighting derived from the surroundings, whereas my implementation uses point lights that result in sharp specular highlights. There are no surroundings in my image, only the lights.

No doubt Peter's materials look great. I wish I had time to cover more in my course, but I wanted to make sure I covered the prerequisite vector math as well for students without strong mathematical backgrounds.
Awesome. Thanks for the starting off point!

It has React Grommet as #5. Working with Grommet I can attest that it is a terrible framework.

Their "grid" makes you want to avoid any sort of layout that grommet gives you. Their icon set is kinda terrible and pretty darn opinionated. And they are making a complete incompatible rewrite for grommet 2.0.

I would use Bootstrap or anything really. Just not grommet.

Encryption between protonmail accounts and when sending to non proton mail accounts:

When you send an encrypted message to a non-ProtonMail user, they receive a link which loads the encrypted message onto their browser, which they can decrypt using a passphrase that you have shared with them. You can also send unencrypted messages to Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook and others, just like regular email.
Medium launched in 2012. It's almost 6 years old which is not "rapid rise".

They started with a very good editor and a syndication model that is inherently viral (i.e. every post on medium promotes medium itself and other posts on medium). This is much better than most other blog hosts like WordPress.

Tumblr is similar and also very popular but Medium focused on high-quality content and not short posts like Tumblr. They even were publishing their own content for a while.

They also tried a hundred different things, many of which don't exist anymore.

In short: good product, built-in virality and lots of grit and experimentation with different features.

Also anecdotally I’m not sure if I can agree that Google’s POIs are vastly better, mostly just different but of a similar low quality (which is to say neither pleases me).
Exactly. The case is not alleging that Walmart is engaging in a broad conspiracy, despite what the title of the article seems to suggest. It is simply saying that the plantif was terminated when he brought up to management that there were issues with how they were conducting business - "Walmart did not properly address these issues, its failure to do so could have serious long-term implications for its critically important e-commerce business."
But then Google Sheets might be a better call.

I am neither a ProtonMail nor a Gmail user so this might be completely wrong, but as far as I understand it, the short answer to your question is:

ProtonMail offers an easy access to a client which supports End-To-End encryption for your emails.

So nobody besides the sender and the receiver can read the content of the email. Traditional emails are more or less plain text files which (usually) get encrypted for transfers between mail servers, but every mail server involved in the transmission can read the content.

> I personally wouldn't mind slower shipment and lower prices.

I think that would be expressed as an option for "combine my shipment with a bunch of others going to my neighborhood until there is a full tractor trailer load, or 30/60/90/120 days elapsed, and pass the savings onto me", because ground shipping is already available and about the slowest available standard shipping. Solving that logistics problem would be a strategic advantage, as it becomes a hairy optimization problem but with big savings over time, and offering this option opens up supply chain planning strategies that are now closed to us.

Not the person you are replying to but I'd say no.

As the supplier you should back yourself as to whether its likely that your changes will cause an issue or not. If so, issue a warning, otherwise don't.

The reason I say this is not for your customer's benefit but for yours. I've seen people get all knotted up with process because someone had the bright idea that the customer should be notified when absolutely anything changes behind the scenes - just in case. This abundance of caution will make your life a misery, and stops any rapid movement. It also desensitizes the customer, who gets used to your notifications and eventually decides they can ignore them.
Which means you have to design around it. You can definitely run into problems with cyclical shared_ptr dependencies
