My bet is still on a Norway-like solution, which saves (some) face for the Tories and has minimal consequences.

Usually, a joke is just that. But this transcript is a conversation between a business owner and a hacker, where the hacker is likely in violation of the CFAA, and the owner is threatening legal action if the hacker doesn’t cease and desist. Once you cover that ground in a conversation, resist the urge to be funny.
European mentality is really a lax commie mentality masquarading as good left wingy social democracy when in fact it is not. They just want to do capitalism somewhere else and reap the benefits to save face and pretend they are somewhat better than the capitalist nations in the north america and asia.
I actually heard a good reason for that here the other day. The customized OS portion of Android is on a different, read-only partition, and it's not writable except during reboot on upgrade (or something like that, I'm butchering it from memory I'm sure).

Upgrades can be applied from the application/user data partition, but they stay on the user data side and that's why the best you can do is to uninstall upgrades and disable. Apparently most the providers have gotten better about only including an application stub now that doesn't include the app binaey/data, so usually uninstalling upgrades leaves you with a ~12kb application stub/placeholder.
Watch out, you might get flagged for suggesting that arbitrary laws are ridiculous!

At least your tone is great, your hair is not red, etc. all that are completely irrelevant to the content yet manage to get down-votes and get flagged.

Because laws and the consequences for breaking some of them are often morally questionable to a large portion of society. Compounding that, the judiciaries' understanding of esoteric technical topics can be sub-par, and a juries' interpretation can be as predictable as a coin-toss.

That's all to say that, when you are contributing to robbing someone of their freedom, you'd better have a darn good reason for doing so. In this instance, I think many would arrive at the conclusion that Microsoft did not.

We can't even trust manufacturers to provide updates in most cases. Placing that much trust in them is nothing short of lunacy.

Thank you.

IMO negotiating is very similar to face to face selling. I'm not saying you should read every sales and marketing book you can, get completely hooked on it; then quit your job and go work in car dealerships for few years. That's where I learned to negotiate (sometimes I really miss it) but that was quite a while ago, so no I can't specifically recommend any resources that deal just with negotiating.

I can recommend you read a few sales training books; Zig Ziglar was one of my favorites. You'd be surprised how phrases like; "let's split the difference, is that fair enough" work so well in so many different situations even when negotiating a salary--you'd be stunned.
Why would you, if other, less volatile means are still available?
It was a screwup on his part to duplicate the trademarks. Should have just been 'repairco's windows 7 reinstallation discs for old dells' or something to that effect.

If its a major OEM machine like dell/lenovo/hp, there are OEM specific keys in the BIOS. This is why they use manufacturer cd's and not retail ones (fairly certain you can't use microsoft downloaded iso for an oem, but correct me if wrong) You need a certificate component, the bios slic strings, and a OEM key off the coa: http://www.squidworks.net/2015/03/how-to-windows-7-oem-activ...

Point being, if the OEM stopped providing the discs and he only charged to cover costs of the medium without profiting I fail to see Microsoft's logic here.

EDIT: I stand corrected, they weren't selling these discs for a quarter as articles reported.
Mandating minimum standards on safety is one. Making non-key characteristics more similar to ease price comparison and enhance competition is another.
My network’s NAT is my router in the basement. There is no CGNAT, and yet I hit rate limits. No one else in our house accesses twitter, logging at the router reveals usually one to two attempts of accessing twitter per day.

And yes, rate limits.
You can't really sum up Microsoft into one "asshole microsoft". For example their OSS products are made by awesome people that work in good divisions, and to be honest, making their work open source seems to be an attempt to not let other MS divisions (e.g. legal) fuck up their good work.

There is no catch in their licenses (unlike Facebook had with React). Please don't judge products such as TypeScript by this.
> "fell," for example; compare with Icelandic "fjall.

As a non-English living in a country where English is not even an official language, I strive to write good quality answers, either technically or in grammar. A good answer takes an investment of time to write. If someone is not willing to take some time to correct the English and research an answer, it is natural low-quality answers are not welcomed. It takes less work answering them ourselves than improving bad answers. Furthermore, what the owners are asking is that 90% of the users take care of the 10% that generates noise for free, and are telling the majority of the user base there are others that are more important than them.

Your story really resonates with me, as I also was trying to start a side hustle of my own.

The original plan was to sell certain retro items on Amazon's Marketplace and possibly Ebay. I figured that the fees and taxation requirements were a logical expense in exchange for increased traffic and ease of payment.

While I wasn't concerned about getting hit with accusations of money laundering, I was extremely concerned about chargebacks and Amazon siding with the buyer instead of the seller for pretty much any reason.

Which got me thinking-- how and when did it get this bad? A wad of cash or a check in envelopes isn't the most scalable or amazingly convenient payment solution on Earth, but it is more equitable and irreversible than the current system.

In fact, I was surprised to learn that Venmo doesn't do chargebacks. Aside from Venmo's strict and arbitrary laws about money laundering ("ISIS beer funds" is a fun googleable term here), it is an infinitely more ideal way to pay than Paypal or etc.

"Want to buy something? Venmo me the money and I will send you the item. If you don't trust me as a seller, then find someone you trust who is also selling this item, because by default I do not trust any buyer."

Also a good question, but this post focused only on why it's a stupid idea technically on purpose.
> I don't think the lines you refer to would be considered a good poem. It's a poor imitation.

You'd be wrong. "Geometry" is a highly respected poem of (Pulitzer Prize winning, Poetry laureate) Dove's. (Only the first stanza is quoted in the article). It has been extensively analysed, incorporated into various poetry syllabi around the world, and reprinted dozens if not hundreds of times.

It's quite one thing to say that you don't understand a poem, or you don't like it, or you prefer songs to poetry. But try not to hold court on what is or isn't 'considered' good poetry by people who enjoy poetry qua poetry.
Hang on, I thought OEM Windows licenses were nontransferable between computers, not between owners?
So in order to prevent these evil capitalists from ... (god forbid) fulfilling people's wishes ... we should give full power over everything ("the economy" which is everything) to person/committee X (Marx and Engels both saw that democracy and communism are incompatible) who will then "make everyone happy".

Ok ... that sounds like an excellent idea, so long of course, as your wishes and happiness are perfectly served by X.

Also: no thank you.

I would say this really depends on the jurisdiction. Microsoft can put whatever nonsense they want in the EULA. For example, the original owner can't transfer the license to a new owner. As I've understood it, that shit doesn't fly in EU, and still might be questionable in parts of the US: https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20120703/11345519566/eu-co...

It's useful to read the emails from the defendant.

He's not just burning re-installation DVDs. He's going out of his way to burn re-installation DVDs that are identical to MS / Dell supplied discs, even down to holograms in the disc.

Customers were rejecting the discs because they were "counterfeit". He was saying things like "tell him the product is guaranteed to be real". "Customs can't tell the difference and therefore is not legally allowed to hold them hehe"

But that document also shows people test installing the OSs onto different computers, and it shows them using the licence sticker on the machine to activate one of the OSs. I'm not sure that was made clear to the judge: the machines are licenced, and if the machines aren't licenced the supplied discs won't activate. So, I wonder how the discs were being sold. "These discs are licenced, and you won't have problems with activation" would be bad.

EDIT: in general, when you're ending emails to people describing how you're going to evade customs you're probably doing something wrong, and know that you're doing something wrong.
I can understand the "daily standup" being very useful to you as the manager. I'm interested if the engineers find it useful though. Personally, in both remote and local contexts I haven't found much value in them.
Twilio account with N logins; use it to receive the verification SMS messages. (You can do something mildly clever and split them in real time to both phones but easier just to send them to a vacuous script and get them from the logs in the Twilio dashboard.)

This doesn't work everywhere but my experience is Twilio numbers pass verification ~80% of the time for the set of services I use them on.
I know socialists see this as a critical component to their theories, and I understand why. But the truth is that the Soviet union, and China, both became very extreme totalitarian states ... not because of external aggression, but because they feared the civil war they themselves had used to get to power, before any capitalist aggression really began (long before WWII, and even during). They saw their own power (and with it, communism, at least in their minds) mortally threatened by the very mechanism that gave it birth, and therefore saw extreme measures as justified to prevent that.

I will agree that later on "capitalist" aggression made it worse. Although a significant (and the most complained about) part of capitalist "aggression" by far was accepting refugees from communism, and so perhaps aggression is not always the correct term. Other things weren't nearly so benign.

I would also like to see socialists explain why communist societies became so incredibly more aggressive after communes in the West (which were allowed to exist, in large numbers, where they weren't outright abusive) ... failed of their own accord. I mean, my idea is that they failed because they proved the truth of socialist fears : given free choice of it's members, every society will eliminate communism. Of course, I see history following the Soviet collapse as further reinforcing this idea.

Possibly bitcoin ASICs can be used to find really long vanity prefixes.
One thing about this new branding is that I have never ever seen Go spelled with all caps (GO). Most only see it as either "Go" or "go". Spelling it with all caps ("GO") makes it look like a single shapeless typographic slab. "Go" is found in text, and "go" is found in code, cmd and everything related.

In the original the letters were thinner, and that could have made it feel more lightweight, so it wasn't that bad.
I think most people understand the benefits and greenness of nuclear compared to other forms of energy generation.

Yet it is also superficial to plainly say "nuclear is safe". That's obviously more complicated than that. Chernobyl, Fukushima (widely known, 2011), Marcoule (2011), Ibaraki (1999), WIPP (2014) etc.

These are not events like "Uber car killed a person but self-driving cars are the future" thing, these events are actual evidence that human error plays a huge part in dealing with nuclear systems.

Plus, when you think about the waste, it doesn't seem so green anymore. Maybe greener when you're throwing radioactive stuff into space.

What I'm saying is, it's not a simple issue that "average people don't understand" Actually we see that average people pick most pragmatic options when economically pressed.

Regulations are there for a reason. Personally, I don't want spacecraft throwing radioactive material onto our own atmosphere.
I agree that there are substantial problems surrounding DNA evidence.

They fundamentally stem from sound theory, but unsound (and unverifiable soundness) practice. For people who do not understand DNA is DNA and they dont understand the huge practical difference between theory and practice. These can be members of prosecution, judges, investigators, police, lawyers but also family members of the unlucky convicts, who are "dissapointed" in their innocent relatives.

But in this case they are thinking the problem is not in the labs, they think the problem was in the supplier of swabs.

I am not sure why they would find the same DNA over such a wide region as Germany or even europe. Do all european police buy their swabs from the same manufacturer? If yes why is only her DNA present and not those of any colleagues?
If police across europe use different suppliers for their DNA swabs, containers, bags ... why don't we see similar "mystery" serial killers for the other suppliers?

Also all the cases will have to be re-opened.

Potentially families of murdered people were told they were looking for the woman, while the murderer in their case might have been a male friend or relative. If someone close to you is murdered and you have a very vague (but accidentally correct) suspicion of the perpetrator, and then the police comes and tells you they are lookinng for the real perpetrator of a specific sex, this may "refute" your accidentally correct suspicion!

Some companies today offer a fraud prevention solution which is covered, meaning they will pay the merchant for whatever fraud transaction that slipps through their systems. These companies employ pretty sophisticated methods as this is their core buisiness. I work at one such company, Forter. We take pride at the fact that we approve more than the others would, and we take complete financial responsibility for our mistakes so merchants just don't have to deal with it...
He didn't just duplicate the trademarks. He went out of his way to make the discs identical to the real discs. Some of his product was rejected by his customer because they were not identical.

Ask HN: What old, 'outdated' concepts (Lisp, XML, Prolog) are worth to learn?
* Functional Programming was decades in the dark but exploded recently.

* JSON Schema is similar to XML-Schema (both describe trees).
The semantic web (OWL, RDF) is dead but Knowledge Graphs (Wikidata) are en vogue.

* Voice assistants are just like the old expert systems (after the NLP stage)

Older concepts are easier to learn because they are backed by a canonical theory (relational DB vs NoSQL).

What 'old' concepts are worth to learn because
* they are unappreciated,
* will be relevant again,
* or just have a nice theory?
Yes, their GitHub guide should probably include a deep learning classifier that implements the ready() function.
How could crypto currency launder money? Money laundering by definition means taking dirty money and running it through a legitimate business to make it appear to come from the legit source.
I hate to take Microsoft's side on this but reading the emails from court documents seems to show that this guy clearly knew he was counterfeiting and profiting from it. See Microsoft's post here https://blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issues/2018/04/27/the-fac...

If anything I would say that the techcrunch post is overly misleading. Although they may be right that Microsoft overstated the value of the discs in court which lead to a harsher sentence.

Ever notice how retirement age is rising at roughly 0.5/years/year ? That means, of course, that by the time someone in their 30s retires it will have moved again.

So if politicians want to keep spending like they do now (assuming deficits do not matter and do not raise spending further due to interest), a 30 year old person will retire at age 104 at this rate.
Summary of the article if you omit the trace itself:

>> macOS `cp` (*nix not discussed) copies files (somehow, not discussed). Then, via macOS-specific syscalls, file attributes/metadata are manipulated (details superficially discussed).

The core functionality of `cp` - namely, copying a file - is not discussed at all; only the pasted trace gives any insight. There are naive ways one could do so, such as opening the source for read and destination for write and iterating X bytes/pages at a time in user space, versus mapping files to memory, versus instructing the kernel to perform a direct low-level copy. I was expecting such an analysis, and perhaps an idea of how things change depending on whether the source and destination paths exist on the same filesystem.

Instead, the only talking points refer to macOS-specific extensions. References are made to system integrity protection (SIP), flistxattr for setting attributes, and MAC policies. Yet all we get are descriptions as to what those subsystems are, without any explanation as to why `cp` is calling into them. I would assume it's simply to copy file attributes from sources to destinations (duh), but whether this is the case is not covered.

This too, is my realization, after a lot of introspection (and observing other people).

Sadly, I never learned discipline. Given the anxiety issues I'm struggling with since late-teen/early-adulthood, I can see that my average performance is about 10% of my peak performance.

I hear discipline is trainable, but I wasn't able to find something I could execute as an adult. I wish there was a training regimen with benefits that transfer to the rest of one's life (and not just making someone better at executing the training tasks).
