I have to agree. It's not "a slap on the wrist" at all. A criminal record is a massive hurdle to overcome in finding work or keeping standing with any professional association. Not to mention the damage to reputation, personal relationships, finances, and family dependencies. Purely emotional thinking does not help the problem.
I am extremely bullish on ar headsets -- I'm convinced it will flip several markets on their heads.

Adding AR to phones doesn't seem particularly interesting to me, though. Some technology is just a fad -- remember when people cared about ringtones? That's pretty much how I feel about snapchat filters, which seems to be the best use case people have found for anything close to AR. Pokemon go doesn't count (it's a GPS game).

I think ARKit is mostly a long play from apple to get people used to their API and prepared for when headsets come out.
> the answer mostly seems to be a vague hand-wavy nod towards "cultural reasons".

I'd imagine during that time in Japan cultural reasons was a big enough reason. Edo period was characterized by isolationism. It was trade, religion (Christian converts were heavily persecuted at that time) and social structures were become more rigid https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edo_society. There was finally the travel restriction https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakoku_Edict_of_1635. Perhaps guns were seen as something foreign they went away with all the other "foreign" things.

There is no crime. The whole thing is a farce.

If this company's phones were really being used by high level traffickers then the FBI (or someone) would have gone to them and asked for a back door.

Obviously this guy said no, and so they retaliated and made an example of him by setting him up on some b.s. charges. None of which would hold up, but he is facing a couple decades, so will probably plea out to some minor charge.
I was really hoping for more Marxism.
If it was a disgrace to draw the sword, I imagine that swordsmanship and sword styles would not be so highly regarded, and there wouldn't have been entire dojos devoted to specific styles. If that were really the case, I imagine there would have been more dojos devoted to archery and spear styles, and those would have been held in higher regard than sword styles. Perhaps that actually was the case, but "popular" historical accounts seem to say otherwise?
This seems like a bit of an odd complaint, do you think journalism has to be done by foreigners?

Or if your comparison to RT is about them being owned/heavily influenced by the government, they're not: the NHK is the quasi-governmental news org in Japan.

Sentence is more like ten years, parole in three. Manslaughter unlike murder is supposed to be unintentional. Of course if the criminals are "networking" in prison, that should prevent parole, but cost-cutting privatization in the prison industry has ensured that doesn't happen. Likewise the only reason that it's a manslaughter charge in the first place is that witness protection, and therefore cooperation, is dismal. Simply put the legitimacy of the US government has declined in some areas, although this process really kicked off in the 1960s.
There are probably better choices than Iceland, if Android supports them. Iceland doesn't do DST now, but has in the past (1917-1918, and 1939-1968). The farther North a place is, the stronger the case for DST, so I wouldn't count on Iceland changing not their mind someday.

I'd pick someplace reasonably close to the equator. Then there is little difference in sunrise and sunset times throughout the year, and there is pretty much no case to be made for DST on sunlight grounds.

Some good choices, if whatever you are trying to set supports any of them:

• Liberia. City of Monrovia if you have to specify by city. There's only 0:43 difference between the longest and shortest daylight periods of the year there.

• Guinea, city of Conakry.

• Togo, city of Lomé.

There are a few other countries in the general area of these three that are on UTC+0 but these three have never had DST so are probably more likely to stay that way.
Let's say it this way: imagine it was not prison, but a full therapy treatment and rehabilitation. Do you think that 3 years is enough to rehabilitate an adult that all the events in life lead him or her to kill somebody ?

Some people take 10 years to quit smoking.

Also, while I agree with your point on abusing the justice system and not using it for revenge, you must not forget that:

- currently we also use it as a deterrent system. Even if it doesn't work very well. If somebody is capable of killing someone else, there is a huge different between knowing you will pay 3 years or 10 for it. 3 years to get a reputation or get rid of a life road block could be calculated as an acceptable price.

- there is also the way the non-killers will see the system. If people are being honest, and they witness more and more than being a criminal has not the consequences they though is should have, then people will loose any trust they have in the system. It's a very bad long term side effect to have for a society. Really, really bad.

I don't believe the Japan Times is a propaganda arm of the Japanese government in the same way as RT. They aren't as old an organization as Mainichi Shimbun for example, but I wouldn't group them with RT or Sputnik. Television news organizations in the country have to tread lightly, since they have to come hat in hand to the government when they need to renew their broadcasting licenses, but I don't believe other news organizations have that kind of power exercised over them by the national government.

Well, there are a few mitigating factors.

First, these are the mobile variants of the CPUs, which are usually slower than their desktop counterparts out of the box, and clock lower more often due to thermal management kicking in a lot, too.

Secondly, a gigabit network card was used, which sets a low ceiling for the benchmark.

Thirdly, these were results averaged over 30 minutes (which again may cause heat issues in some laptops), not burst performance; I doubt OpenVPN would even register on a graph of burst performance of, say, 3 seconds.

Lastly, from what I hear, the Linux IPsec stack is a lot more complicated than is typical. Granted, they're all complicated, but still ...
I attended a popup theater in Austin where one of the guest speakers (Gregory Watson) was the gentleman who was influential in getting the 27th amendment passed.

He, per his teacher, was a mediocre student at UT Austin and only received a C on the class he was attending. He was, however, dogged enough to persuade the states to ratify the amendment.

His former teacher had learned of his role in getting the amendment passed and during the show, the UT President presented Gregory with an upgraded grade (A).
19. Coincidences to get characters into trouble are great; coincidences to get them out of it are cheating.

It doesn't mean contrived is great - it just means sometimes bad things happen and you have to deal with it, and we often don't understand the root causes. But if you rely on random good things to solve your problems, you won't have a very satisfying story.

This is just saying it is fine if a random car crash starts the conflict. But if a random car crash takes out the big bad, it's cheating.
Unless I'm missing something, it sounds like McHardy has only dropped one of his "over 38" cases, due to the potential for a much more expensive, risky legal battle. What's to prevent him from continuing his activities in other jurisdictions under less savvy judges?

Also, how is this a victory by Linux? I see no mention of activity by the rest of the Linux community while Geniatech fought the legal battle.

Why not have the insecure or interceptable protocols as optional protocol extensions and make everyone happy? Much like with fips and how you can build openssl and other tls libs with fips mode on or off.

TLS 1.3 client libraries could then optionally support interceptable key exchange depending on who is using them. An individual can use normal OS and distro that exclude the insecure features while banks and military facilities might turn it on.

Alternatively,why the "one size fits all" approach? Why not have a "TLS-commercial". Obviously the "one size fits all" requires a comptomise by all parties resulting in a collective reduction of security.
Projectiles are obviously more effective in a large battle, as demonstrated notably by Khan, G et al 1209, 1215, 1221, etc.
Java or Kotlin – Which Language Should Android Developers Start With?
g~w will swith lowercase letters to uppercase ones and vice versa. gUw will change all letters in the word to uppercase. guw will change all uppercase letters in the word to lower case. See :help case for more details.

There are probably plugins to change words to camelCase, snake_case, etc, but I'm not aware of any built-in command to do that (other than manually editing it).
You didn't allow every other Add-on to access the API, but explicitly only the Add-ons with the "contextualIdentities" permission ("Container feature"). Which is the reason the "management" permission ("Monitor extension usage") was needed in the first place - to check if the Add-ons accessing the API have that permission. Also, the API doesn't give external Add-ons access to the permissions you gave the Multi-Account Containers Add-on, but instead only a really specific amount of information; which is whether a specific domain is assigned to a container (you can read about it here https://github.com/mozilla/multi-account-containers/wiki/API).

Now, why "automatically" for Add-ons that have the "contextualIdentities" permission? It's simple, if you grant an Add-on that permission, you already gave your consent that the Add-on can access the Container API; and the Multi-Account Containers Add-on itself being from Mozilla, is just additional Container functionality, but as an Add-on. So if you grant the Container permission, you also get API access to some additional informations from the Add-on; and with that increase interoperability between Container Add-ons.
>Car companies specifically design their cars to be able to exceed legal speed limits. Does that make them liable when drivers break speed limits?

They're not being charged with creating an illegal phone, they being charged with conspiracy to import a controlled substance. Making an encrypted phone is perfectly legal, it became a conspiracy when they agreed to tamper with evidence for a client who had already stated they intend to use their service for drug trafficking communications (which was explicitly acknowledged.) All they had to do was make it clear to their customers that they didn't want to know the details of what they were using the phones to discuss, and refuse to do business with anyone who mentions illegal activity to them.

>For one, this is the part that looks a lot like entrapment.

How so? The undercover agents asked if they could use the service to communicate about drugs (implying that's what they would use it for) and the company agreed. The agents then asked them to wipe a phone that had been captured by the police and the company knowingly tampered with evidence on their behalf. Merely providing someone with an opportunity to participate in a crime isn't entrapment.
So you're ok with a compromised printer leaking your medical records? Or notes used by a police investigator while researching a unsubstantiated or even false accusation leaking thanks to some drive by malware?

Interception of web traffic stops those threats.

Nobody is throwing a tantrum or compromising a cornerstone of security. You don't really understand the full scope of what you are talking about -- the "cornerstone of privacy" you speak of is really placing ultimately trust in every random web service.

TLS and the root trust problems associated with it are bad enough. Preventing users from making choices about who and what they trust makes those problems dramatically worse.

I agree with the author 100%. I personally never use npm directly for search. I also prefer to just use google as a start, and usually find the github results there more appealing. I realize it’s not npm’s prerogative to satisfy what I like, but I don’t really understand their motivations either. A basic account costs $5-15/month for what I feel is a critical ecosystem service as the author puts it. It feels like the quality of the UI is related to this cheaper price, when I for one would pay much more for a better experience. It feels like they are selling themselves short for the importance they have achieved. It kind of feels like either the original product managers lost motivation, or they’ve become too big to have people that really care. (Or have to say this, they are just stuck up hardcore devs that don’t care about the real world) I’m definitely not ranting and appreciate npm, but wanted to write my feedback here in case it’s read by them.

> When you have a victimless 'crime' like this

Consider two knife makers. One sells cooking knives. The other sells similar knives and tells people they're designed for stabbing. (The handles may be made so lifting prints off them is intentionally difficult.) Two stabbings happen, one with each of their knives. The government may have a case against the latter knife maker in being party to the crime.

Trafficking drugs is illegal. (It is also far from victimless.) If you intentionally make devices to aid drug traffickers, and then confess that to a federal agent, the government probably has a case. I say all this as someone who believes in de-criminalising most recreational drugs.

Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer. This is not legal advice.
I just read the discussion and I see that people are conflating a few things and having an emotional response. There is a difference between different types of network operators, and whether they have any business snooping on your traffic.

There is a difference between an unauthorized party intercepting TLS communication, and a party you have authorized to do so.

Let's say I am a private person and am trying to access my bank account through a TLS connection. I am connected via WiFi to my cafe. I have not authorized the cafe, its uplink provider, nor any of the other network operators between me and the bank to intercept my traffic. It should be impossible to do so.

Let's say I am employee of a financial institution. This company, in order to adhere with record-keeping laws, needs to log all network connections. One of the conditions of my employment is that I authorize the company to intercept my network communications. The proxies within my company should be able to intercept my communications. However, no network operator outside of the company for which I work for and to which I have given consent to intercept my traffic, should be able to intercept the communications.

The real world presents situations that are more nuanced than "encrypt everything and don't let anyone between me and the destination to see what is going on." There are many places where the above is the desired and sensible requirement. There are also many use cases where crypto is warranted, but select parties should have the ability to break it.

How this should happen is to be seen. In the examples I have given above, "consent" will have to come both in the idea of consent, as well as some crypto key that will allow the privileged proxies to intercept my traffic.
The part of the article that starts with this paragraph is particularly enlightening:

> In implementing his vision, Ford faced cultural and climactic obstacles. People in Brazil were, for instance, used to working in the early morning, then taking a break during the hottest parts of the day, and later coming back to work. This didn’t fit with Ford’s ideal nine-to-five workday. Also, back in the States, Ford had created an industrial system where workers could actually afford to buy the products they made, but in the Amazon there wasn’t that much to buy. “There was no consumer society within the Amazon so they didn’t actually need the high wages that Ford was promising,” Grandin elaborates. So “they would work a few weeks or a few months and then they would disappear and … go back into the jungle to work their plots, to produce their own food, and maybe they come back the following year, and this would drive the Ford managers mad.” Ford’s turnover-reducing strategies didn’t work in Amazon like they had in Detroit.

This is a great example of how you can't just transplant a culture and expect it to work flawlessly. Cultures evolve to fit the environment that surrounds them, and attempting to blindly copy things that worked in one environment, and assuming they'll work in another, is folly.

In the US most notaries will not allow you to sign official documents with a fountain pen- it seems to be part of the training, and many realtors and attorneys are notaries for convenience. As great as they are to write with, many FP inks cannot withstand tampering, so they don't allow any FP inks because it's hard to track which of the thousands of brand/color combos are safe. A cheapo ballpoint is better for official documents- although in this era I'd trust a cryptographic signature more than a handwritten one.
It's less to do with the fact that they're accepting money from causes they are sympathetic toward and more related to the fact that they are now under an obligation to continue supporting the causes they've received money from or stop receiving donations, against the wishes of their constituents.

See, for example, the tax bill of 2017.
The HTTP Public Key Pinning specification says that browsers should/may (I forget which) ignore the pin if the chain ends up at a private locally-installed CA, for this very reason.
Java went through a phase of not having inner classes, autoboxing, enums, generics, and looping over iterables. The code from that era was burned to the ground for being unreadable shit.

This is survivable, if they're motivated to fix the glaring omissions in Go.
The thing I notice most about fountain (or calligraphy) pens isn't how easily they put ink on paper, but how scratchy they are.

OTOH, I think the author needs to get himself a fat, high quality ballpoint pen. The pen size seems to actually be the part that creates the most hand stress in my case.

Also, for that matter, I find some of the cheap gel pens seem smoother than the cheap ballpoints too. The combination of a gel refill in a fat pen like an old papermate PhD multi pen might be just right.
There's a HUGE market. In fact the Japanese market alone is large enough that Pilot/Sailor/Platinum don't even release all their new pens to the US market.

Try going to the forums - fountainpennetwork.com or fpgeeks.com to get interest in your blotters. I've seen rocking blotters sold by J. Herbin, so they still exist.
Since the doctors can bribe him, we know what the answer is.
if you can't trust a CA, then it's already game over, since they can issue certificates for any domain they want without your interaction.

Your example with pointers actually wouldn't compile, and I think the analogy you are trying to make is not accurate. On the second line you are assigning the target address of `GMT` to be the value pointed to by UTC. In other words you are trying to assign a value of type "Time" to an object to type "Pointer-to-Time".

If, however you meant for that line to be:
Time *GMT = UTC;

it would compile fine, but then your second comparison would evaluate to true, and the whole analogy be rather pointless.
But at least it lets you remove stuff from the toolbar.
The fact that fountain pen inks are usually (always?) water-soluble does make them a poor choice for permanent documents which risk being altered.

I like my fountain pen, but use a more robust ink for many standard tasks.
