I'm so thankful that I'm living in one of the socialist european contries right now. Not being able to fire a bad contributor from my team would just make my blood boil.
The username is malware. Github does not namespace user profiles, so the link to the account would be https://github.com/malware . There is no Github user with the name "about". If you go to https://github.com/about it is not a profile page, but a page describing github itself. I assume that github may want to make a page describing malware.
I think "trolls" are absolutely necessary and wouldn't support banning any of them. I see I got downvoted (probably by someone who identifies themselves with the current propaganda cycle) but I'm pretty sure I'm correct in thinking that companies supposedly offering salvation from the trolls are really doing it to open the doors for much broader censorship. It's a typical playbook, invent a fictitious enemy and then offer censorship tools to be accepted by general public. Once that happens, the criteria slowly and quietly converts into something much more sinister. Communists have been doing it for decades.
It's an improvement because middleboxes can't mess up your packets when you're using authenticated encryption. Sure, they can still drop all of them, but that's a much easier problem to debug than otherwise.

We have all these problems because a lot of middleboxes crap their pants when they "see" something in the protocol headers that their developers did not consider because it didn't seem to happen on their laptops or whatever.

So you make the protocol headers invisible to the network's middleboxes to prevent the middlebox developer's broken mental model about that protocol from breaking your pipes.
No, he defrauded his investors and lost their money.

He later managed to come up with money from another source to pay them back, but that doesn't erase the fraud that he previously committed.
I just went through this stuff after an identity theft incident. While locking my Equifax file, I learned something surprising:

Locking your Equifax credit report prevents access by potential creditors and lenders, but there are exceptions. ... Companies that wish to make pre-approved offers of credit or insurance to you ...

Equifax maintains consumers’ credit reports and provides information to certain customers, including credit card companies and lenders, so that they may offer pre-approved offers to consumers as permitted by law. Consumers that prefer not to receive such offers should visit www.optoutprescreen.com, or call toll free at 888-5-OPT OUT (or 888-567-8688).

So I'd really encourage everyone to do that opt out thing, too.
Just because someone, business or person doesn't want to continue a relationship with you, doesn't mean they are doing you harm. Harm is not doing something you don't like.

Harm is purposely spilling nails and glass on the public road so that you can sell people more tires.

If you are trying to take the pure libertarian stance, that whatever the free market dictates is ok, I am actually fine with that. But you can't grant Patents to companies in that situation and give them special legal protection.

When the public grants you a legal monopoly and special protection, whether it is through a patent, or your local power company, they are only required to act responsibly and not take advantage of that protection.

I actually think the most just punishment for Shkreli's actions would have been to open source all the medications he abused. So any person or business with the tools to combine the chemicals would be allowed to do so, and sell them for whatever price they wanted.
An even more helpful response about the docs would have been, "Could you tell me where in the docs this process is unclear so I can update it?" Everyone writes and reads and comprehends in their own way, and something that seems clear to one person can be completely obscure to another.
I can understand that.

what I can't understand is why https://github.com/hacker is okay. Or why https://github.com/blackhat is also an account. Or https://github.com/virus.

Unless each one of those accounts is also being changed/removed, and I'm simply the first one to point this out.
There's another step further there.

Damage US military satellites - perhaps something necessary when it comes to national security - and the US Government can destroy you no matter who or where you are, short of being under the express protection of Beijing or Moscow.
I'm curious about people's experience with Justworks: does it scale effectively after a certain size? What are potential drawbacks?
Bitcoin mining has by no means "taken over" Wenatchee and East Wenatchee. If you go there and drive around what you'll see is ordinary businesses, fruit warehouses, huge numbers of fruit farms, etc. And then the datacenters which are in East Wenatchee and Quincy.

It's just a weird aberration of people setting up super cheap facilities for ASIC mining that need huge amounts of electricity, but very little network infrastructure. Compared to the Sabey and Vantage datacenters an Ethereum mine needs only a few dozen Mbps for a WAN link, at most.
I’ve been involved in the SmallSat space. This is a shitty thing the Swarm team has done. The American satellite regulatory regime is on the permissive end of the global spectrum. Wanton disregard for the law, like this, threatens that light-touch regime. (Finger wag at India, too. This should have been checked.)
That's the point: more services, more jobs are all part of the quoted energy consumption.

I think the Leo editor is the only editor that can come close to Emacs in terms of power. However, the docs are just so, so bad. And the functionality out of the box leaves much to be desired. I couldn't find the keystroke to comment out lines of code. There were a few other changes in behavior that I wanted that I'm sure are trivial to fix in Leo via scripting, but things aren't documented.

I really, really want Leo to become more popular - but until there are better tutorials and documentation, I don't think it will go anywhere. And I'm at the stage in life where I can't afford to spend too much time figuring Leo out - there are too many other high value things to learn.
Only if the country has agreed to join that international treaty.
Considering they launched the satellites in India's rocket, I think India would be fine with them.
Seems like a stupid move from github not to prefix usernames from the beginning or at least start doing it later like linkedin did.

It is very possible that one day there will be another URL they need which belongs to a large account that can not be renamed just like that.
As a sometime English major, I’m biased, but the main objective (or perhaps side-effect) of the humanities, in my experience, was to teach one how to write. Regardless of “truth,” “values,” pottery, or poetry, modular, well-structured arguments were the main thing I got from that degree. Attempts to justify the actual content of humanities studies seem futile, if valiant, and nobody has been good at articulating deeper aims for English, at least. (I found anyway that I was able to write A papers without reading the material.)

(At any rate, this author might have taken a more Orwellian pen to their monograph.)

Googling suggests that animal welfare organisations currently suggest maceration is the best alternative, being better than carbon dioxide which gets second place. Do you happen to know why they don't promote your suggestion of suffucation with nitrogen?
Well, that was mentioned in the article too.
Usually I withhold accusations like "reeks of corruption" for people who did not definitely commit a serious felony and then antagonize the system about to sentence me.

Did the fact that he was universally hated by the whole country make his sentence for his crimes worse? It's entirely possible. Does that mean the judge was corrupt? No, that's not what that word means.

What should you learn? If you're ever convicted of a serious crime, apologize profusely, then shut up, and maybe don't offer a bounty of a presidential candidate's hair.
The rate of satellite launches seems to be increasing at an ever-greater rate. With the advent of SpaceX, ISRO, and many new actors in the launch business space has never been so cheaply accessible. A runaway Kessler Effect (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kessler_syndrome), making space access for everyone problematic, seems now a real possibility, especially if a few bad actors launch junk into space with disregard for the safety of others.

I'm not sure who should be responsible, but some coordination at the international level seems necessary to make sure this does not happen.

While this is an interesting definition of humanities, how does it tie into the university programs discussed in the article? Do you think these programs have value, both on research and teaching fronts? Do you think their structure makes sense? Do you think your definition of humanities is reflected in the university and are you arguing for them to reflect your view of the humanities more?

Glancing at the website you linked, I can agree with some of the things they're aiming for (reasoning is a useful skill that isn't always straightforward to learn), but that's much different than figuring out how to education a populace in a rational and economic way AND balancing this with doing work worth studying in the first place.... much of which is addressed in the article.
Except that still doesn't matter.

American companies break American laws all the time in their foreign branches. It's impossible not to, since countries have conflicting laws.

Imagine if all employees of international conglomerates were required to pay American minimum wage? Do you understand how ridiculous and controlling that is?

This is my bet, they are trying to namespace their site. They may not have EULA rule they can cite, so hand-wave security and confidentiality.
> So how does this all boil down to a judge's feelings being hurt?

The way I read the parent is that this conviction would almost certainly not merit seven years in a typical non-Shkreli case.

But the judge handed down seven years, not because of his crime, but because of his attitude. The OP even suggested as much, suggesting if he had just "kissed the ring", the sentence would have been substantially less.

I read the parent's outrage as being that justice isn't blind - it metes out sentences based on the feelings of a judge toward a defendant's attitude. The crime itself only matters insofar as judges must abide by minimum and maximum sentencing guidelines. Within those guidelines, how you feel about a defendant is fair game.

edit: I would also add that, for those of us with less than stellar social skills, it's easy for social incompetence to be misinterpreted by other people as being an asshole. For us, this aspect of the justice system is at least mildly worrying.
Check out the non-amp versions of those pages though.

First example I got (via searching Google for "news" and clicking the first AMP link).

AMP: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.sfgate.com/crime/amp/Active... (2.4 MB, loaded in 760ms)

Non-AMP: https://m.sfgate.com/crime/article/Active-shooter-reported-a... (4.7 MB, loaded in 7 seconds)

The non-AMP page is twice as big and takes an order of magnitude longer to load. So, yes. I would _absolutely_ describe the AMP version as a "slimmed down performant webpage".

Could it be better? Of course! But users are still _much_ better off with AMP than without, at least in terms of performance. (And that's ignoring the fact that preloading is part of AMP. It's not "cheating" if it works in a real-world situation.)
Even before I got halfway through the article, I knew I'd see the ever-present "due to privacy and security concerns" garbage.

If a company is contacting a customer, don't play that line. Be honest. If the reason why you can't be honest is due to embarrassment, don't phrase it as a request. Mealy-mouthed language about empty, unverifiable platitudes is not only pointless, it's insulting in a technical context.
It decided to go ahead with it's plans anyway in a different country. India doesn't need the FCC's approval. The fact that they are an American company doesn't matter. They did not violate any FCC regulations.
I very much agree with your sentiment. We have made efforts to put the price for most users straight on the home page, for example. We also try to say all that's included, and give a specimen of the actual policy document. But we can improve this a lot in terms of figuring out what is the most relevant information.

In order to get to the stage one can do an actual purchase, we do need a few pieces of information though. We have tried minimising this, but we'll take a look at how we can reduce it further. Any specific suggestions you would have for what we should put before registration and after?
>I can not for the life of me understand the appeal of org-mode. It's probably just me, because most other organizers don't work for me, but if you're going to do a file-based organizer, it seems like you want a way to easily pull stuff out of old files so your working set isn't spread out all over the place.

Genuinely curious: What did you find problematic with Org mode? I could not understand your example.

It would be bad advertising to say Org Mode is for everyone. Most people I know use OneNote, and frankly, One Note really is better in many ways. I would not try to convince them to switch to org mode. And although Org Mode is very powerful, there isn't a reason a given person should need all that power.

For me, when I encountered it while living in Linux land, I simply did not have any alternatives. I don't remember the name, but I was using a tool provided by KDE, and Org Mode was far better by comparison. So even for simple notes, Org mode was the superior choice. All the extra bells and whistles were icing on the cake. My email was all text as well (mutt). And it was really nice to switch to Emacs for email (notmuch) and have Org mode create TODOs with links to emails.
If my username is preventing them from creating a /malware page, I'd have no problem at all with that explanation; their lack of namespacing is convenient, but can cause these problems to occur.

But why hide behind the shroud of "privacy and security" if that is the case? I'd happily relinquish (not that I have much choice in the matter) the name if it was a namespace clash.
I'm Sarah, co-founder/CTO: Your principal residence, a place where you receive regular mail. If it's ambiguous to you between two locations then both are probably valid. Note that home country is where you won't have coverage other than health for 30 days every 90 days.
My general thoughts on choosing an insurance:

1) Take a high deductable (because low means you will pay it every year any way ;-)

2) Take a very high maximum. Because that is what you have an insurance for. If something really goes wrong, you need as much support as possible, for as long as possible.

I have a rather expensive insurance with 1000 / yr deductable and 1 million max (or more, depending on circumstances). I never claimed anything in the 8 years that I have it and I hope it will stay that way for a long time to come.
I'm a little baffled to discover -1u is exactly 0xFFFFFFFF — the maximum value of unsigned int.

Likely there's some important code out there that relies on this strange behavior.
The FAA has jurisdiction over launches through US-controlled airspace. The FCC has jurisdiction over radio signals originating within the US.

It is debatable whether a satellite in polar LEO is "within the US" for the purposes of jurisdiction, but even assuming that it is, the FCC can only theoretically control the use of its radios while over US territory.

It has nothing to say whatsoever about whether the satellite can be there in orbit.

Judge David Sentelle [to FCC]: "You can't regulate washing machines. You can't rule the world."

So, not the first time the FCC has acted bigger than its britches.

It seems likely there should be a UN mission for avoiding Kessler Syndrome and perhaps further regulating the tracking and traffic control of human-launched objects.
> How does the FCC have jurisdiction?

Because of its regulatory authority over commercial sstellites; the operator of these satellites applied to the FCC for approval and was denied because they did not meet safety (detectability by certain instruments) requirements.

> but still not sure how FCC is even the right entity to handle this.

It's the “right entity” because of the responsibility assigned to it by Congress. Whether Congresd should have given that responsibility to some other agency is, perhaps, a valid question, but fairly distant from the immediate case.
This is almost certainly the answer. The author is overthinking this.
"Nobody will force you to sell your goods for a particular price, but if you pick the wrong price, there will be consequences."

Do you have some special definition of "force" that you are using which doesn't involve you deciding for someone else which course of action they will take and then making them take it at risk of "consequences"?

I've come to appreciate job listings that include the actual team/project that I'd be working on. If a company of more than 10 people can't tell me what they actually need me for it strikes me as a company that's wildly disorganized and/or with a lot of employee turnover.

The commenter who brought up EpiPens was drawing a comparison between two recent, famous instances of "exorbitant prices" in medicine, pointing out that in the EpiPen there were non-insurers paying the crazy prices, i.e. that non-insurer payers for medicine exist. Shkreli not being behind the EpiPen prices is irrelevant to their point.

That is an excellent question, for this case and a lot of other similar ones (banned, removed etc.)

I’ll rephrase the question: in a set of things that I consider to be similar why is one handled differently that the others?

And the answer arises from the question: the sets are based on a different criteria.

I don’t know what criteria github uses, but, I know that external input usually groups sets differently.

Put simpler - maybe someone complied?

It isn't "my" definition. It is the original definition of liberal arts:

But the liberal in liberal arts and liberal education does not stand in contrast to conservative. Rather, it derives from the Latin liberalis, associated with the meaning of freedom. Liberal, not as opposed to conservative, but as free, in contrast to imprisoned, subjugated, or incarcerated. Free citizens studied the trivium and quadrivium as part of their liberal education, as these skills were considered the ones that would enable them to function successfully as free citizens in society.
