Nope, Twitter is not a governmental organization, therefore they're not subject to the same restrictions as Trump, who is a public official.
Supposedly that partnership lead to the only time, until recently, where Nintendo characters appeared outside of a Nintendo system.

NY southern district court: Trump cannot block users on Twitter [pdf]
It isn't accusation :) You're trying to apply Western standards in the domain of completely different standards.

And even applying Western standards this is what possible to say :

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/oct/11/israel-ha...

"At the time, the Department of Homeland Security said it “is concerned about the ties between certain Kaspersky officials and Russian intelligence and other government agencies, and requirements under Russian law that allow Russian intelligence agencies to request or compel assistance from Kaspersky and to intercept communications transiting Russian networks”"

Notice that Kaspersky doesn't lie :

"In an official statement about the allegations, Kaspersky Lab said: “As a private company, Kaspersky Lab does not have inappropriate ties to any government, including Russia,"

as the keyword here is "inappropriate" which the above mentioned law clearly takes care of. Again, all these fine icing-on-the-cake details, like the law and "inappropriate", etc. are only for the Western consumption, as they just don't really matter in the Russian reality if only by virtue of being dwarfed by the things what do matter there. In that reality it would be a really "inappropriate", a faux pas of the scale that is even hard to imagine, if Kaspersky refused to work with FSB :)

is that really a thing people do? the risk-reward ratio is all off. you take on the risk of possibly getting a chargeback (maybe the phone/account was stolen), in exchange for... nothing? it's not like the cashier is getting paid commissions.

Some of these are just wrong. "Django" is not "A style sheet language that extends from CSS."
I think it is that as a default sub, the faster a post rose to the top of the sub, the more likely it was to be featured on the front page. Or it was that a fixed portion of a sub's posts would make it to the front page over time and by starving others of votes temporarily it meant the AMA was more likely to be chosen, which might not have been the case even if the AMA eventually reached #1.
Kaspersky AV is an excellent product. For years it was the unrivaled market leader for non-signature-based malware detection in Windows operating systems. Its competitors are closing the gap, however. Qihoo 360 is also a good product.

Among the reverse engineering / exploit development crowd, I haven't heard much complaining about Symantec's detection mechanisms.

There are also bespoke anti-malware solutions marketed to the U.S. government, and they are not commercially available specifically to mitigate the risk that malware authors will test their products against anti-malware engines. These bespoke solutions are understandably far more expensive due to their smaller deployment and high quality.

It's reasonable that the U.S. government has to consider the need to have the best, reasonably affordable, commercially-available solution for the majority of its systems. This is balanced by the threat that the Russian Federation's government could interdict the software being delivered to the U.S. government client. Intermediate solutions, such as the project that Huawei set up with the UK government, or the source-code sharing that Microsoft does to get Russian contracts, seem to be optimal.
Twitter doesn't have to do anything.
I've noticed there are a lot of rude replies under most of Trumps tweets. I'd think it would be normal to block that kind of thing but I guess it's an odd situation - Twitter wasn't really designed for the president of the US.

For example - just the most recent https://twitter.com/ronrobiins/status/999283009957318656 - presidential ain't what it used to be.
Bytecode as portable binary files go back to the first mainframe generations during the 60's and is still in use by IBM and Unisys systems.

>This is the logical next step for Apple / Google Pay and I'm sure it has consumer banks shaking in their boots, because there's no way they can outcompete those companies in tech.

Google and Apple don't have to (and the banks won't get to) compete on tech if they enter the space. They'll compete on their ability to vertically integrate. Good news for google and apple, they're already in every pocket.
This is slightly off topic, but are modern arcade games more extortionate than they used to be? If you play e.g. Mario Kart you have to keep putting in coins after each race. Maybe if you come first it lets you continue but it seems a total rip off.

> For most of the world, this has been true in regards to following US laws for a long time. (DMCA, copyright law)

Let's not pretend that the US is unilaterally shoving copyright law onto the rest of the world. When the US made its last major overhaul of the copyright system, it was to harmonize copyright law with what already existed in Europe. In addition, the EU already signed onto the TTIP, which is a massive concession to the media industry on copyright. That wasn't due to US influence; in fact, the US backed out of the TPP.
IANAL, but yes, I think that's OK, because it's not blocking based on the content of the speech, which is the crucial part.
Ageism, like most discrimination, is about writing off someone based on factors outside their control, not requiring someone to mature. Young people eventually meet the requirements to enter government service. Forced retirement based on age is a permanent disqualification.
If you’re a manager of developers and you need these cards to tell you what some of these things are (database, stack...) you probably shouldn’t be managing developers.
As far as I'm aware, GDPR doesn't make any new prohibitons in this regard - however, it's quite plausible that they were already technically forbidden for years by the earlier data privacy laws, but simply most organizations didn't pay much attention to them.
The article is weak from clickbaity title to eventual conclusion that only UBI will save us from a dark dystopian future of a huge slave class of gamers forced to allocate their meager incomes to buy in-game powerups by a shadowy cabal of Silicon Valley overlords.

It always sounds cool to derive these kinds of arguments when there is a new delivery model that is Paradigm Shifting Everything. In fact, as pointed out by a bunch of other commenters, this model isn't intrinsically much different from the console arcade game model of whenever it was the first pinball machine came out.

As for the "monetization of leisure" this is basically as old as leisure time itself, as is the idea of restricting access to this leisure activity to those with the wherewithal. The classic model here is - golf. To play a "better course" you need to pay large fees, and in many clubs need to pass some kind of vetting. Golf nonetheless created a class of professional players, who are paid based on how well their play (and possibly antics) entertain a population of passive fans.

I don't see how "monetized gaming" and "e-sports" is at all different from the vast class of professional gaming or sporting activities from poker to football. Civilization has not collapsed because there are millions of lowly duffers who feel compelled to spend money to knock little white balls around a field. I feel confident we will survive "Clash of Clans" as well.

My only real disagreement with you is I'd call Git a blockdag, because it's a more general directed acyclic graph rather than a linear chain. But that's just a disagreement about what's more helpful terminology.
Shipping containers: The building blocks of contemporary Japanese architecture
The social unrest of the late 60s made the country far worse off. All sorts of social progress was happening at a moderate and steady pace over the 1950s and 1960s. Then the late 1960s came along and the backlash basically halted or severely stunted all progress on basically every domestic social issue.

Basically the hippies got us out of 'Vietnam slightly quicker but they carelessly threw the poor and the non-white under the bus to do it.

Oh this is definitely true of the Twitter website but I would assume any barrier implemented is illegal, however ineffectual.
GDPR could become a global thing, because it could be used by the EU as a predecent for Free trade agreements. (which most nations in the world are happy to sign).
So if I understand the license, I pay $10 a month for access to the music. If I cancel my subscription, I can keep using the music I already downloaded. For example, I would not have to erase it from a Youtube video I published. The video and its music can stay online forever. Is that right?
Rather than memorize a bunch of flash cards it seems much easier to just talk to them like humans and if they say something you don't understand don't be embarrassed to ask them what it means.
It still vexes me that I can't instantly transfer money from my bank to a friend's account without paying, or using a third-party like Venmo or Paypal.
Trump can't block users from his Twitter feed, federal judge rules
the conditions of the ruling still apply though:"is a public forum and that blocking users on the basis of political speech is a violation of their free-speech rights under the First Amendment". Any american user should have access to that forum without obstruction, no?

It's funny how this would elevate his twitter account to unprecedented status, which means twitter will have to implement some bizarre measures.

There is a reason why Dick is one of the most adapted authors but almost none of those adaptions are particularly faithful. He was amazing at creating high concept ideas, but often the execution failed to fully capture the potential of those ideas. I wonder if he was some 20 or 30 years younger whether he might have spent his entire career in movies and TV which has a more collaborative creative environment that could have let his strengths really shine through while hiding some of his weaknesses as a storyteller.
I think Huffman describes to a worldview where he wants to offer everyone the same tools. That's probably why he didn't like the methods /r/science used and why they added /r/popular to replace the defaults. This way any subreddit can get there.
> Reddit should allow for curation-heavy groups, but these should be billed specifically as curation-heavy groups and they should compete with other groups. Something like /r/science shouldn't get to do that.

/r/science should absolutely get to do that. And it's unmistakably up-front about the heavy moderation[0], much like /r/history[1] and other high-quality subreddits. IME that tends to be the dividing line between heavy moderation generating the site's best content and the worst: how clear, up-front and consistently applied the subreddit's moderation rules are.

Keeping things for tax purposes requires no consent, same for anything you are legally required to keep record off. Video cameras most certainly fall under legitimate interest (as long as you follow the law about using surveillance in your country).

From what I recall on the info I've seen locally is that you don't need a DPO until you hit 250 employees.
Hm, that seems like a good advice, I was thinking about that too, and came to quite tricky problem, hypothetical situation: EU user uses technical measures (or just click the checkbox) to circumvent your blocking and then sues your ads provider which is US based and does operate in EU, due to personal data collection without consent. And they figure out they are having legal/operational costs due to you, as operator, serving them poisoned data.

Can they (ads provider) sue you? And if they do, even if you are not guilty, how much money would it cost to win at the court?
> the EU already signed the TTIP, which is a massive concession to the media industry on copyright. That wasn't due to US influence; in fact, the US backed out of the TPP.

TTIP was NOT signed into law already. It is also a completely different treaty from TTP. (TTP has nothing to do with the EU btw).
> Pour one out for CD-i. Ahead of its time.

As someone whose first job in tech was doing software QA for a publisher of CD-i titles, let me say: no, it really wasn't.

If anything, CD-i was behind its time. As a game console, its poor controls and sluggish responsiveness made it inferior even to consoles like the Genesis and SNES that had come out years earlier; as a means of playing back video, its reliance on a low-resolution SDTV display made it inferior even to a computer with a VGA monitor; as a repository of information, its dependence on optical media made it inferior even to a nascent Web accessed over a 28.8kpbs modem. Even at first release, there was nothing CD-i did that some other product already on the market wasn't doing better.

This wasn't because the engineers at Philips were bad at their jobs; as the parent comment notes, it's more to do with CD-i being a product designed for a market segment that turned out to not really exist. So it ended up getting sold into market segments that did exist, against products that had been designed specifically to satisfy the needs of those segments. And of course those products ran rings around it there.
> First, the site replaced default communities—the 100 subreddits that once made up the front page of Reddit—with r/popular, which takes posts from all subreddits. The changes were made to help smaller subreddits compete with the larger, more established communities.

That's wrong as /r/popular explicitly excludes a bunch of sub-reddits. While one could see it as the Reddit staff catering it to what's "popular", a more cynical view is that the entire concept was created to shape the definition of "popular". It's pretty easy to tip the scales when you're the one managing them.

Separately, does The Daily Dot have any sort of editing or review process? "Huffman" is misspelled "Hoffman", extra confusingly in a direct quote from him.
True, there is that danger. However I have to trust somebody - I don't write anti-virus software. I suppose I could, but it takes time to get expertise in that, time that I wouldn't get to spend with my kids. Not to mention working alone I couldn't fight all the attacks on my computer in a timely manor without help, and thus I still have to depend on other people who might or might not be trustworthy.

Whilst I think the conventional wisdom that getting enough sleep consistently throughout the week is the best way to go makes sense, I've known for years that catching up on the weekends for lost sleep during the week makes me feel a whole lot better.

For me it all started when I moved from a job where I could roll in whenever I wanted, and thus got a consistent 8 or so hours of sleep every night, to a situation where I had to be in at 8.30 - 9AM consistently - which, btw, is a real pain in the ass if you're a night owl.

Sadly I have largely lost my night owl capabilities due to a few years of having to be at work at a set time, but I still "catch up" at the weekends, and it's definitely better than not catching up by a very wide margin, and it keeps me a functional non-homicidal human being.

It made sense, given that Atari was doing the same a few years prior.
There's some poli sci research that suggests the main effect of term limits in California is to bump people upstairs to compete for positions they aren't worthy of and removes capable leaders from their positions artificially.

If your electorate isn't wise enough to kick a bad leader out after 12 years (remember, even today the average term is below 12 years), then maybe that's a problem less with the representative of the voter and more with the voter.

That's the big problem here. Political leadership is pretty miserable, but who is electing them? They're just a reflection of society. Kick them out and it is more of the same.

Proposition 140, an initiative narrowly passed by California voters in November 1990, imposed sharp limits on the terms of California legislators.1 These limits will have a dramatic impact on that legislature as an institution. Internal structures such as leadership, committees, parties, and staff will be weakened or made external. This weakening of legislative structures will force most external players, including interest groups, to expend substantially greater resources for a return diminished in effectiveness and predictability. Put simply, the cost of doing business will increase while the return will decline. This combination is likely to advantage groups with both resources and a stake in state government but to discourage participation, divert efforts elsewhere and encourage cheating by others.

Here's an abstract. This stuff is pretty easily Googleable if you are interested.

This does seem the most likely thing. A single traumatic brain injury in china being linked to the shenanigans in Cuba? Seems sketchy at best.
But more people are making it to 40 and thus surviving longer, making the average age of the population higher. The two prominent changes in age come at the end of the 19th century when sanitary practice was introduced into medicine, and the middle of the 20th century when antibiotics began to be used.

This indirectly increases the age of members of congress. I agree with what Alex3917 says above, that it has to do with needing to win votes from more and older voters. The graphs in the second half of the article also show that incumbency has increased, because longer living voters will support the familiar name. Then there was a dip in the '70s I assume from a combined factors of many of the older members retiring at the same time there was significant cultural change happening.

Also on the graph of members of the House, there's a sudden rise in age at the start of the 21st century. The Senate graph has no corresponding change. I can only make a wild guess but that would be the amount of money that can be made in the private sector is so much more now that younger people are staying away from public service.
Data science?!
This is an absurd argument.

Why wouldn't the Russian government seek to take your secrets if it could? Employees at even the most mundane companies, such as SendGrid (email as a service) or Salesforce, have passwords and ssh keys that could permit access to infrastructure. That infrastructure contains valuable information when mined at scale.

How do you think these campaigns happen? All 0days? The most public recent nation-state hack, of the Clinton campaign, was done by a phishing page.

Yes, we are all targets to some degree of nation states.

That said, Kaspersky software is excellent. I would just disable the cloud upload portion of it.
