The Korean war was a case of the US and UN standing up to Mao's influence. The North Koreans lost ground until PRC forces started pouring in.
One of the future prediction I read 10 years ago was about how live events and personal interactions with the stardom (a lunch with an actor, a drink with the drum player) would be the truly defining leisure activity that would separate the elite from the 99.999%.

I am thinking about Gibson and Idoru and I think this is something he missed about the future.
I think most people, at some level, know this and accept it. I think the shock comes when you think how long this information is kept for, and what that means. i.e. each year they can advertise age appropriate birthday presents, a few years from now they might get adverts for children party suppliers. As they grow up college saving funds, colleges, trips to Disney land, first cars can all be targeted to you at just the right time.
How to check if a user is logged in on another domain?
My website (A) should display a content only for those users who is logged in on another website (B) which is on another domain. I can't access the cookies, so I have to look for another options.

The only way of doing this I see right now is to send XMLHttpRequest to B using CORS with credentials and since B has an access to session cookie of its origin it can response whether the user is logged in or not. The response has to be send to server A via AJAX so it could determine what kind of content to display.

But how should the response look? How to handle it? As long as client controls this area yes/no answer is not the choice. What kind of data can I pass so that client won't be able to send fake valid request to A?

B is not the only website I need to interact this way with. There are C, D, E... and every has its own authentication system, so I can't use SSO.
cheers..

IIRC I recall hearing something about this due to NeXT (and now apple's) use of CMU Mach.. but universities are big places :b

I'm honestly confused.

Her entire personality was based on being vegan.

She considered herself to be someone from an alien planet sent to earth to suffer.

She criticized all the suffering around her and explained how nobody could understand her.

She was apparently against anal sex.

She hated women who used their body to get places. While she herself did do that (explicitly said so) in her videos.

She thought there is a conspiracy against her "truth".

> I have been a proponent of gaming on Linux most of my adult life, but I can't help but think that Valve might be missing the boat by sinking resources into gaming on Linux local hardware. Times are a-changin'.

No they aren't. There is just now a large amount of hammer-wielding cloud idiots on the scene who think everything local is a nail. There is an entire industry built around computer building, and a very large proportion of the PC gaming crowd see the two as inexorably intertwined. Part of the joy of PC gaming is the satisfaction of building a powerful system and watching it play 3D games really well.

I don't think there's a purely technical reason a non-standard linter cannot exist, but it's probably a large investment to build such a tool (filtering false positives, etc.) and no one has made one sufficiently good and popular enough to be used for a simple one-file-utility.
Ah cheers for the link. Yeah a proof at the level of abstraction up from a single pattern would be lovely. I don't really have 'concerns' as such: it's just if your risk profile is the thing that has kicked you away from TLS towards Noise then you need a good justification (notwithstanding, a proof of security for a new AKE should really be par for the course).

IMO the interesting aspect with the development of Noise will be if it can avoid bloat. From the mailing list I can see that there's solid awareness of that risk (would assume Trevor is aware anyway), but it will be interesting to see how the simplicity of pattern API will handle things like signatures, when they're inevitably added. I see at least one Noise-using project has already made the leap on that front.

Wrong attitude. It seems that, at this time in history, we have more tools at our disposal than ever before to avoid war. We have more capacity to organize and communicate now. Why should we continue to just assume that war is inevitable? I'm sure people had the same attitude toward the black plague in the middle ages. They probably thought "Oh well! All this bad air and holy wrath is inevitable. No way to avoid the plague!"

A better way to look at it is that they are two different generations of planes. I fly/have flown a lot in a prior role.

Excepting the 747, which let you get so far away from the engines that it was often irrelevant, newer planes create significantly improved passenger experiences (ignoring seat pitch).

The A350 (2013 First Flight) , A380 (2005FF), and B787 (2009FF) are significant cabin environmental quality improvements over the A330(1992FF), A340(1991FF), B777(1994FF). They aren't just using different materials that are using IMMENSELY different technology and computing power in the design process. That lets the engineers pay attention to details they couldn't before.

For Comparison (look at the front and rear wings especially:

1994(B777era) F1-straight lines, single curves, few compound surfaces [0]

2005(B787era) F1-lots of curves, compound curse galore, intentionally designed interactions of surfaces [1]

Thats the different in design capacity driven by computing tools and technology.

> Now I have to decide whether I loved it or hated it. Which is rare to be at either extreme.

I don't think thumbs up / thumbs down is "loved it" / "hated it". It's "liked it" / "didn't like it". (If you didn't either like it or not like it, then don't rate it).
> Also, good programmers tend to be undisciplined.

I'm curious if that's coorelated to ADD. As I definitely fit into this category.

Most startups I've worked with utilize product managers to compensate for this, coordinating the work of engineers, which can be helpful. But in many situations I've found the engineers knew what was best for the product than these guys, who were typically older non-technical types with business experience (typically at larger firms). Largely because engineers have lived and breathed software since they were kids, tried to understand them, and know what makes good products intuitively. Plus they're usually smarter in general.

So I believe the best product managers are ones who seek input from developers as equally as they delegate/manage tasks. The worst ones are the ones who think they always know best and see the engineers as merely workhorses who are there to implement their (and the founders) vision. As middlemen they create a disconnect between programmers/designers and the founder. Or, worse, just saddle engineers with endless tickets with no clear vision or higher level thinking.

The very worst are the ones who think everything is about setting up processes and systematizing everything. Which they learned working at big companies and then try to pigeonhole it onto fast-moving startups... ultimately slowing everything down for little benefit, creating more risk out of failed attempt to manage/minimize future risk.
Do you trust that the source code for the Signal iOS app on Github is the source code of the application you're running on your phone? All you really have to go on is the word of each company.
Well "governments" already have nuclear bombs, aircraft carriers, drones and what have you. It's not some new concept. You can take it as given that regimes you will never want to live under will be putting their best people in using AI for military purposes.

It's dangerous to imagine one is sitting on some moral high ground by refusing to work for the military. We all owe our freedom to previous generations of scientists and engineers who worked for the military, sometimes inspite of strong ethical concerns.

What I was saying was, when someone sign up to join the Army, their ideal is to protect the country and it's citizens.

But when they ordered to go to a different country and fight a war over there. that is not what they originally signed up for, right? So they are putting their lives on line for the whims of someone in administration, and not for a cause they care about.

That is all I am saying.

So, my original argument is that, If we are able to make human beings to risk their lives for causes so disconnected from themselves, Why can't we have human beings that are ready to lead an enforced, selfless life devoid of normal human joys and full fillments in the service of their country?
Attractiveness as an employer is among Google's top priorities. If this research is a significant concern to their employees, and starts to have an effect on their image and new recruiting, they are almost certain to drop it, considering it's unlikely to bring in revenue that's significant at Google's size.

To put a number on it: I am absolutely certain that Facebook would be willing right now to sacrifice 25% of their revenue for a bump in their reputation (among developers only) that puts them at Google's level.
> I’m more concerned with the copyright status of Java APIs

Your arguments are pretty hollow to me.

Comparing your proposed 30000 guns in France with more guns than inhabitants in the US.

Yes people get guns here in Sweden. You see it on the news almost weekly sometimes how gang members shoot each other. Smuggled weapons or imported plugged weapons that have been modified into live firearm.

This argument still does not negate the fact that it's much harder to get your hands on a working firearm. And that makes all the difference in crimes of passion.
ah yes! fiber! thanks good point.
We aren't going to go to war with Russia, despite the propaganda that everyone is spreading.

stopping "Bad content" is a slippery slope, especially on a network, where most only talk to people they actually know and who are usually using real identities. Keep in mind it's private messaging we're talking about.
Sounds like a ridiculous process, one that he probably shouldn't have had to go through.

Since the underlying problem was really the blog posts search engine ranking, it seems as if it would have been better to spend about 10% of that 100K on getting a few articles written about the situation and SEOing the crap out of them. This would have had a similar effect, and made it harder for the defamer to simply recreate his site with similar effects.
How it's written I personally think you should be able to buy any weapon available on the open market. Or at least any weapon that could realistically be used by an infantryman (as the wording is "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State,."

I'd rather have a new amendment then have judges be able to decide what the definition of arms is. Slippery slope. They really could one day decide that 'arms' is only muskets, or even just knives.
You say that as if “world peace” was an attainable goal in any realistic timeframe. War doesn’t exist because people “hate peace”.
Some context into the mindset and beliefs of the people who penned the original amendment is helpful in this case, but you find very little in support of the level of control that the anti-2A people want.

Gun rights antagonists tend to downplay that bit, as it implies an individual perspective that they find conceptually incompatible with tightly-controlled gun ownership permissions.

Living like a FB Dev is not the same as merely living (well or otherwise). You sound like you are trying to rationalize (not just explaining, but justifying) their behavior.

I would agree those in poverty are not in a position to leave their job (and even then, I'm willing to consider options). Devs in Silicon Valley do have a choice though. You are correct to identify capitalism as a fundamental problem, but you've conveniently minimized their privilege too far in this case. They don't get to say "capitalism made me do it." They really did and still do have an opportunity to be moral, costly as it may be to their standard of living. They are part of the problem because this just is their expression of their moral preferences.

They might not be able to prevent evil, but that doesn't mean they should actively participate in it. Just because you can't stop the Nazis doesn't give you license to be one.

I hold programmers responsible for what they program, especially anyone living above the poverty line. There is no justification for their behavior. It's plain evil.

"You can't watch your kids 24/7," reads one poster, which has a picture of Schumer, Zuckerberg, and a shirtless Anthony Wiener outside Facebook's New York offices. "BUT WE CAN."

...

Schumer - who in 2016 railed that "a person's cellphone should not become a James Bond-like personal tracking device for a corporation to gather information" - has stayed relatively silent since Facebook's user data scandal with Cambridge Analytica broke last month."

There are multiple vectors for them obtaining that information - location records from your phone, receipts for parking ramps at a hospital, any mention about a pregnancy or baby on social media in the past (pregnancy announcement etc), image recognition of the newborn, registering for baby related gifts, buying pregnancy/baby related items (books, classes, equipment etc), a third party selling your information (health insurance maybe?), or using your web search history.

It's safe to assume that much of the data we all leak is being mined for revenue.
This really opens my eyes. My wife flies frequently, usually on AA but sometimes on others. For years, really for as long as I remember she would spend the first day or so fighting stomach problems, headache, etc. and after the return flight she would inevitably have similar symptoms that she always attributed to food eaten while on the road.

I finally just warned her to avoid the shrimp or seafood since we rarely eat it when at home but it seemed like every time she traveled she ended up at a restaurant and had some kind of sea food.

It didn't help because just last week she returned home, again with headache, nausea, sinus problems, etc. that kept her sidelined for part of the weekend.

I am going to look into test strips to detect these substances that she could carry on the plane with her to see whether any correlates.

Her assignments see her needing to fly as it is too far to drive in a realistic time frame to most of the meetings but maybe a career change might solve this if it is the cause of her post-flight issues.

Anyone else have similar observations or observations that would indicate this is likely not an issue? I'm open for any discussions.
Hilariously enough, Alienware put out one of the only reasonably priced Steam Machines.

The lowest end Alpha was by all means a decent console contender in terms of size, graphics, processor, and memory, while also being one of the cheapest models of all Steam Machines.

The majority of OEMs pushed out overpriced garbage, but for the most part Alienware wasn't one of them. They committed to a custom, low profile case design AND worked with Nvidia to create a powerful low power GPU based on the GTX 960m. $400 for that versus the other companies pushing poorly supported low end Radeons? Phenomenal.

I bought on release day and still use my Alienware Steam Machine. Unfortunately, like many other said above, the developers simply don't optimize for Linux releases like they do for Windows, but the hardware pushes what you'd generally expect from what is effectively a couple years old gaming laptop hardware.

Yes, the entire Bill of Rights in fact pertains to our inalienable, universal rights. There is no difference from what one may term "fundamental" or "human" rights.

Decide for yourself, of course, but it looks safe to me -
there's only one buffer and fgets doesn't let it overflow,
there's only one file opening, and while there is a
potential race condition there, it's with /dev/console.
If someone can exploit this race by replacing /dev/console,
you've got bigger problems. :)

I don't know how you avoid `this` and `class` though, especially with all client side code heavily relying on these.

I don't know about you, but coding in mid 2000s where these things didn't exist was toothache inducing levels of pain. At least `class` syntactic sugar standardizes how things look.
