To be frank, I expect people to work as a team. I expect that people will read the daily round ups, yes and they do. We do have closer to synchronous communication channels (Slack) which people can reach out on for help. And they absolutely do all the time. Our teams members are quite close and are very willing to say when they have a problem and to help one another when they can with problems.

We have an absolutely open environment. It's a side effect of our process.

Part of the problem is that privacy invasion is only visible when it results in arrests, leaking, or some other use of the power to effect change. Most people will never experience someone obviously exploiting their trust here.

Of course, the complacency of us individuals reduces the security and privacy of us all. Realistically the NSA hasn’t been successful in reducing terrorist threats; in fact, the correlation is negative.
Hi all, Repl.it employee here. It's worth noting that the author of the guest blog post took on this project as part of his EPQ, or Extended Project Qualification, an exploratory project undertaken by some high schoolers (equivalent) in the UK. Repl.it took no part in the origins or the directions of his work; Ollie just chose Repl.it as his tool of choice. He learned the concepts, tools, and code on his own.

Regardless of the outcome of his research, the fact that a sixteen year old felt empowered to tackle such an advanced topic and was able to teach himself the tools to dive into it is pretty damn cool.
It's more complicated than that. You can bet many wealthy people DO care about these things (in fact, I know some who do); however, if they stand up against them then they riak preferential targetting far more than the average citizen precisely because they have influence and need to be shut down.
Ostensibly they tax you for “services”

Property tax

Gas tax

Sales tax

---

Schools suck

Roads suck

Law enforcement sucks

Pollution sucks

---

But shiny new government buildings

All cops have new cars

Gas prices are out of control

The recycling fund was looted

Social security was looted

Trump just announced today to the NRA that he just gave a shit-ton of military weaponry to the police “you cant buy this stuff” he said.

Corporations pay no taxes

Flint has no water

This country is a joke.

Wait until big agra (monsanto) and inefficient governments take over legal marijuana.

Legal marijuana is a scam from a tax perspective.

Look at the lotto - that was supposed to pay for schools.

Look at “paid cable television” - that was supposed to eliminate commercials for a paid service.

Have you timed how many minutes a commercial break is on CNN?

Its all a joke.

EDIT:

And the thing that pisses me off, is they want to push all the costs down to the consumers. Are ANY of the water bottle companies held accountable for the mass plastic pollution in every thread of our environment? Obviously plastic isnt going anywhere - but the oil companies and chemical companies that produce all these materials and products pay nothing.

Look at this douchebag in the EPA right now. Are you following any of his antics? He had his lackeys being pay $40,000 PER MONTH just by Morrocco alone for lobbying access.

He had his "security" guy spending $100,000 on first class flights. He stole $65,000 from his campaign fund saying that he was reimbursing himself.

And then you have morons apologizing for them and defending these clowns.
>And yet tons of bad things keep happening to regular citizens in the US.

Like what? I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about here.

>What exactly does the NSA do? Whom are they protecting? Cause it sure is not the average citizen.

??? Sounds like you know absolutely nothing about espionage. Maybe you are right, but intelligence agencies don't talk about their activities, even their successes, for very good reason.
Charles Proxy: MacOS Local Privilege Escalation
Is it in a fork? The official site isn't updated since 2013 and Debian removed it in recent versions (jessie is the last to have it) because of that. Do you happen to know where the new versions and development are? Squirrelmail is by far my favorite webmail setup, i use it for almost 15 years now and exactly what i like about it is that it has remained pretty much the same all these years, so i'd like to make a manual installation over a recent version (Debian seems to have an svn version from 2012) once i upgrade.

"zero people to move from the platform." seems like an outrageous claim.

I have talked to several different types of fbook users, and some have removed apps, but not their account, many have mentioned that they have more dread in it's functions that joy in it's uses.

Everyone I have spoken has changed the ways they use it, have lost trust in it, and are censoring themselves even more now than they were. Well not 100% of the people I have spoken with, my 80 year old grandmother still uses it the same, however she is now taking the advice of many and not believing anything she sees on there without researching sources further, which is a great thing imo.

My sample size of fbook users is of course something like 4.5e-7% or something like that, so not that much different that the precisely zero statement.

I think it's sage to say it looks for some time that fbook was trying desperately to encourage people to share as much as possible via the portal, and I think many people are realizing that is not the best thing for most people. I don't have access to the internal stats that may show this or not, and I do now expect the co to announce these kinds of metrics in a helpful way either.

Maybe someone on the inside can publish them via tinder and brag they have access to that kind of data and get better dates.

I would expect more snaplike than wechat like in the future for things that are personal, but we'll see. I've always thought fbook would become the new linked in (sterilized from personal stuff publicly), just as big G is becoming more like the yellow pages. This does open up desires for many groups around the world to have freedom boxes or something similar I imagine.
Yeah, he put a lot of work into that, and I love that he published all of the information.

My biggest complaint though is that he expresses GPIO cycle time and interrupt latency in cycles, rather than normalized on real time.

Particularly when comparing a STM32F0 to an AVR, the perf looks almost even, until you realize that the STM32F0 is clocked 2.5x faster.
Na. You're making a bunch of assumptions that may not be true.

- Scientists, especially early in an outbreak may not have the procedures down. For example, they will have to study specimens and take samples somehow. Where or how will they get the specimens? How will they put them into quarantine? If they need to be live specimens, this becomes even harder. How do they contain and sedate the specimens? I agree they will better than most movie scientists, but it's hardly a foregone conclusion that everything will safe and fine in perpetuity.

- I doubt this is true. There aren't enough armored vehicles for soldiers to be in one at all times. Plus mission parameters won't allow for that. For example, what if they need to secure a building? Also grunts are grunts, not hazmat experts. People will make mistakes.

Plus even if you're right about this, this say nothing about spreading through the orders-of-magnitude-large civilian population.

- I think you're arbitrarily mixing your zombie mythos. If it's a braaaaains type zombie it's a magical undead creature, and none of your scientific assumptions hold. If it's a virulent disease type zombie, then they can eat more than just human brains. And even if we imagine a scenario where the disease only lets them eat human brains, then it doesn't really matter since the wave of zombie outbreak will hit people regardless of whether the ones closer to ground zero are still alive or not. If they only survive for a couple days after turning, they are still successful if they spread to a new host before that happens.

- You're assuming the incubation period is short. If it starts out like a flu outbreak or something, people who are sick but don't know it yet can land on Australia.

I remember using older custom ROMs on my Android devices that would differentiate between HSPA+ and 4G in the status bar. That was a really nice feature, but my current ROM on my current phone doesn't do it.
Yes. Macular degeneration from uv. Sunglasses and car windscreens in the eu must protect against uv by law. Other windows not necessarily.

I have an optometrist friend who says he can tell easily in eye exam which old people have worn glasses or sunglasses and which haven't.
I've personally never had an issue with any keyboard from dirt that had to be fixed with compressed air, let alone multiple.

You can, but it's not a lot of fun. I did it for years as a modified BBB element in 5/3/1. I have, at various times done 5x5 squat past 4 plates as well.

1 in 5 Employees Don't Feel Companies Care About Sexual Harassment
I'm really just going by what you said in your original post and your apparent shock someone would call the situation a mess. They've done a gigantic, scammy-seeming ICO and their investors (whose goal was likely short-term speculation) realize there might not be a public market, the sums involved are big enough to attract significant regulatory attention and as a free bonus, a nasty state actor is taking off its shirt and yelling 'FITE ME!' at them.

That's seems like a mess to me. It, as far as I can tell, seems like a mess to you. It seems like a mess to the author of the TC article. Why is it so weird they'd call it a mess?
I got the Instagram version of it. They feel they need to have agree for the facial recognition even though there is no related feature on the Instagram app.
It could also be related to how hard users are on their keyboards. I’ve a couple dozen MBPs deployed ranging from 2014-2017. The keyboards on newer model don’t seem to pair well with heavy (read: slightly abusive) typists. I haven’t upgraded mine :).
Well, yes, but it's worth noting that smartphones are now down at the $40 and less level. And China doesn't have that many extremely poor people anymore.
TON doesn't exist as a product yet, so there's nothing for Russia to block.

Russia's attempts to block Telegram are almost certainly related to the services that Telegram offers now, not things which it might hypothetically offer in the future.
Is there a reliable way to not bug users with the "add to home" prompt if they already have? The last implementations I saw were all underwhelming in this regard.
Except the "violently" here does not actually refer to the use of military force.

It's in the sense of "vigorously" or "forcefully". No hesitation. No hesitation, no waffling, no debate - "just do it". Or, as Amazon calls it "disagree and commit"
Yes and I imagine even having records on everyone wouldn’t be enough to catch all cases. Some of the recent offenders really seemed to only identify as problems during the act. No chance to stop them.
There are rumours that Apple is working on “marzipan” which will allow iOS apps to be compiled for the Mac by targeting x86. React native could be coming to the desktop.
Rhextortion: Misinterpretation by Proxy
> Those that do are constantly questioned by everybody.

My exposure is more western Canada than eastern Canada, but I find that your statements couldn't be further from the truth. People here are constantly trying new things and exploring and experimenting with new business ideas. I see great optimism and people who see potential.

And in terms of being constantly questioned, I just don't see that where I am, but I also don't view being questioned as a bad thing. When it comes to launching any new idea, it seems that being questioned is the very least of the difficulty you need to put up with.
You're not the only one. What hurts the most for me is that I wrote my doctoral thesis on privacy back in 2003 and I touched on a number of these issues. 9/11 ruined my career, though. After 9/11, nobody wanted privacy or to even talk about privacy. I knew all this was going to happen. David Brin knew all this was going to happen, and so did a lot of other writers and pundits. And here we sit now, wondering what to do now that we have empowered a monster that without much more work is going to get us all killed.

That’s fascinating. I guess you probably can’t open source it, but I’d love to read a blog post about it.
I'm having issues with my 2015 Macbook Pro display getting weird unremovable marks and stains from interaction with the keyboard. I hope they'll replace it for me but these quality issues are really annoying. Here's a (bad) pic to show what I mean: https://i.imgur.com/LIK4qq5.jpg
I've owned every single form factor of the MBP. I've loved all of them except for this latest "touchbar" version. Actually kicking myself for not returning it straight away.
What playback speed do you listen to your podcasts on? 1.1x saves you 12 minutes on the hour.

I use PocketCasts on Android, which handles the variable playspeed well and also has a neat silence trimming feature that can accumulate hours of saved time.
AT&T's HSPA+ was pretty bad, even in comparison to T-Mobile's HSPA+. Even if you were in a place that got no LTE signal, you'd get better performance on T-Mobile than AT&T.

AT&T was stuck on 21 Mbps vanilla HSPA+, while T-Mobile rolled out 42 Mbps DC-HSPA+ in 2011 (with a surprise midnight announcement that they'd already converted a huge chunk of their network and just turned it on). DC-HSPA+ had real-world performance better than or equal to AT&T and Verizon's LTE networks at the time, which were allegedly 100 Mbps but didn't perform like it, so I honestly don't blame T-Mobile for marketing it as being equal to Verizon's network. For context, this was back when AT&T was trying to buy T-Mobile, and the reason why T-Mobile was enthusiastic about it was because they were out of spectrum and didn't have any room to roll out LTE. So instead they went all-out in making their HSPA+ network as fantastic as possible until they could get bought by somebody with spectrum (i.e. AT&T). Rolling out DC-HSPA+ ahead of schedule was just the start; they had plans to follow that up with MIMO bringing speeds up to 84 Mbps. But then government interference caused the deal to fall through, which triggered a trap clause that forced AT&T to cede a decent chunk of spectrum to T-Mobile, so they scrapped their MIMO plans and rolled out LTE on their newly-acquired spectrum.

And they very much had an incentive to make their LTE network fantastic, because they needed it to perform better than their DC-HSPA+ network to be worth it for people to buy new phones. Being newer than AT&T's and Verizon's LTE networks (and maybe Sprint's, but I can't remember if Sprint switched to LTE before or after this) probably helped them, as they got to start it out with all-new hardware.
I wrote my own database once. It’s an “event sourcing” database, but I wrote it way before event sourcing was cool. It can handle over 1M events/sec on one core. I don’t know any off-the-shelf product that could replace it.

I also helped write a log-structured OLTP-ish database that sits in front of MySQL.

I have only two regrets about these systems. First, MySQL was, in retrospect, the wrong backing store. Second, I used Thrift serialization. Thrift is not so great.
sqlite wouldn't solve any of those issues because it's dynamically typed and what you're asking for is something which is strictly typed. In that regard you're better off with a data format like YAML.

I would also disagree that Excel does a good job with CSV. Well, maybe opening files but certainly not saving them as it rewrites values in weird ways. Back when I used to have to handle CSVs regularly (which admittedly was a while ago now) I found OpenOffice Calc to be far superior in terms of CSV support. I'd assume the same is true for LibreOffice Calc but honestly I've not done a huge amount with CSV since.
If you're logged in, https://www.shodan.io/search?query=title%3A%22whm+login%22+p... is a better query which shows 1.5M cPanel installs.
Easiest way for Apple to fix this is to expand the TouchBar thing to handle the whole keyboard and add some haptics.

Everyone will hate it but... it will be reliable and amazingly thin.

Maybe use too much power?
With 300M people in the US? Of them, at least 250M have phones, so... two calls per person per year? (Double it if both ends of the conversation are in the US.) I'm going to guess that the average is more like four calls per day than four calls per year, so... maybe 0.3% of calls?

That's far too many. And yet, it's still a very long way from blanket surveillance.

Well this is scary, I am thinking of immigrating to Canada and get myself a Tech job (Mobile Dev), its between Canada & Germany right now and I think I have a better chance in Canada because I dont need to learn German to thrive and the permanent residence has much more reasonable maintanance terms once you get it.
The Canadian salaries people are posting here are pretty much what you would make in Ukraine wtf ?
All of my "techy" friends except myself are guilty. They buy a phone at most every year and often times within 6 months. What gets me is that on top of that, they exclusively get the top phones (pixel 2, Samsung s9+, and the latest iPhone were the main purchases this year).

Yet here I am, with my one plus 2 and cannot imagine changing it within the next 3 years as the improvements are negligieable for me at this point. The only thing I can consider switching to is either an iPhone or the Librem 5.
There was a short time when Google made Hangouts Chrome-only, but faking the User-Agent would make it load. Turned out, yep, Hangouts worked totally fine in Firefox. They just refused to let me load it and that's it.

I don't think you can do that anymore, though. But I haven't tried it in a while.

A huge problem I see with the web is that it's is missing concessions for "advanced" users. I get that we're a smaller market, but come on.
I've noticed similar trends. With SSDs and all metal designs with very few moving parts, I would have thought these devices would be much more durable. Instead, we're breaking the primary input method that used to work reasonably well. So much for progress...
I'll pipe in with my experience. I worked for a company that built applications for a mostly non-technical customer group. We built a very small PWA for them to perform some daily record entry, which often occurred out in the field or in rural areas where connection is spotty. We thought it was a great use-case.

They couldn't have cared less about the offline use or having the option to install it. They just liked the app.

I think service workers and PWAs in general definitely serve a purpose in enhancing web applications in ways that the user might not explicitly realize, though.
I also wonder how many of NASA's own human launch vehicles would have actually passed the "human rating" requirements they're now applying to everyone else.
I tried out the MBP keyboard before buying and thought it would be ok. Unfortunately, the experience of using it for a few minutes in a store is very different from using it several hours a day. My fingers literally hurt most days. I cannot believe that "upgrading" to a new computer could be such a big step backward on this important metric.

The SEC forms do not say anything to discharge, invalidate or answer the question of whether these funds were moved from one group of anonymous parties largely back to that same group in order to generate a bunch of transaction churn on the eth blockchain with whivh they can attach bubble-inflated dollar amounts to. How is the SEC going to know that, for example, the 80 individuals identified in one filing didn't move 850 Million worth of etherium to the 90 in the other filing, and vice versa?

There is no direct association between individuals and addresses on blockchains. This is the problem with ICO evaluations constantly being tossed around and irresponsibly promoted by careless or indifferent finance and tech journalists. tossed around. It's gas, vapor, the same money being search related over and over again to convince mom and pop speculator that there's a stability of large numbers in these things. Can you make money on it? Yes, I have, and so have lots of people. That doesn't mean it's something that should be endorsed or suggested is legitimate to an unsuspecting public.

It's a pretty sad situation we have allowed ourselves to get in to, isn't it? Hey, fwiw, the US could be far more brutal on its citizens if the powers that be desired. The iron hand is wearing a soft glove for a bit longer, anyways. But rest assured, they will get around to the violent part sooner or later because every corrupt system always does.
Same thing I thought. Pure incompetence.
