I am not a security expert, but I am still able to understand the low level of how software works.

Yet I have been always mesmerized how hard it is to understand security stuff. Maybe it is because I don't find it interesting, as I am more interested in creative stuff like gaming.

Honestly it has been maybe 10 since I've abandoned the idea of caring about security. I just do what is minimal: passwords, avoid sketchy websites, not keeping sensitive files, using trustworthy software, etc.

Security is just too hard now. Maybe manufacturers like intel are to blame, and obviously there MUST be some political will to make sure that most electronics are insecure to give an advantage to intelligence agencies.

Because ultimately when I first heard about the sony rootkit, and lately about the HD firmware worm, I was really feeling powerless and outdated. I really think that even for a guy like me, who can write software, to not be able to protect myself efficiently against those attacks, and to tell non-programmers that "no I cannot hack people's computers", is starting to make me feel like an idiot.

As years go by it seems that electronics seem more and more vulnerable, and I still feel completely unable to defend myself against it. Even politically I'm sure that designing a completely secure computer would be a taboo subject because people would argue that it could help the bad guys, and I'm sure that politically, one could not design such a device with success.

The whole "I don't care since I have nothing to hide" is really a fair excuse to show that I'm not capable of defending myself, and I will let others go at their cyber wars without me caring at all. For now the security of individuals seems to be lost, and I fear that one day it won't only be state actors that use security for policing, it will be petty criminals. If cyber chaos ensues nobody will use computers anymore, and they might even become banned from possession.
This all rests on the assumption that Tethers are not backed by dollars as they are supposed to be. If they are backed, it is just a form of liquidity which is in no way manipulating the market, just creating ease of capital transfer between exchanges.
I read that too, but it's quoted from a guy whose job is to protect children. The full quote:

> “If we go back to the situation where we again don’t have access, now we know directly all the evidence we’ve lost and all the kids we can’t put into a position of safety,” said Chuck Cohen, who leads an Indiana State Police task force on internet crimes against children.
> Disney lawyers will probably find some event to use to justify yanking the Marvel rights from Comcast if this deal goes through.

Probably not that hard; licensing deals very often have change of ownership clauses exactly to prevent someone purchasing the licenses to get the license without the licensor having a say.
It solves the problem of attracting American talent, not talent in general.

Immigrants get "paid" more than citizens to do a PhD in the U.S. because there's a green card "stapled" to each degree, which is of no value to citizens but of significant value to immigrants.

I called the argument "Devil's Advocate" because it is more than a little thankless to complain about someone working hard to obtain a privilege you were born into. It still hurts to have your dream job undercut by someone else, though.
If you're not willing to give an allegation the weight of your own semi-anonymous word, and it's only an allegation, not even an anecdote...

What the hell are you even writing?
It's frustrating that you never hear the pro-unlocking scene actually looking past their own noses. Like back when you could bypass a linux login screen by pressing backspace 28 times. Obviously that's a problem, but could you imagine if police departments all over the country got pissed when that bug was fixed and started complaining that they couldn't use the exploit themselves? Like they're the only ones smart enough to use the exploit and nobody else would ever do such a thing for malicious reasons. It's so short sighted.
I'm not suggesting replacing politicians with scientists. I am trying to motivate that policy making must be approached quantitatively, and that the calculus for doing so must be developed. Definitionally this will be done by scientists.

Design the incentives right for politicians and watch as self-organization works its magic.
Well to be fair to this specific instance, their department handles intern crimes involving children so their jobs are basically "for the children!"
This is a syntax highlighting issue, most likely. The \ commands are not highlighted. Are you using a white or light colored background? Likely the contrast isn't high enough. I just updated the documentation with more information on controlling syntax highlighting.

You can either try disabling syntax highlighting completely ( \set SYNTAX_HL false ) or change the Chroma style used ( \set SYNTAX_HL_STYLE paraiso-light )

See this page: https://xyproto.github.io/splash/docs/all.html for an example of what the various Chroma styles should look like.
Ah, but where do you draw the line between 'security sensitive tasks' and the rest? Is the keyboard driver security sensitive? What about pointer drivers (mouse, touch, etc)? Voice input, is that security sensitive? Video? Draw the line too tight and performance will really suffer, make it too loose and all that effort is for naught.
That is tough to do. I lived in a city where there wasn't any cable and the DSL sucked. A few WISPs were the only real game in town. They weren't bad - until evening when everyone started to stream. They upgraded several times over the years, but it is still a rough business to try to broadcast out so many streams at once. I had it pretty good because my WISP had a tower on my roof and I was hard wired to their backhaul. For everyone else in the neighborhood it was slower.
Cool idea. But also, apparently this is a website for submitting and rating ideas themselves?
Australian court allows suit against Google for defamation over search results
Isn't this what smartcards were supposed to do for us?
In other words Science is the area with the least harassment, but I guess that doesn't make a very good headline.

Did they define what they called harassment?
Gives good results. Thanks for providing the link.
Search can cover other domains too... what about an AI that can search books/research articles/lectures/videos to diagnose a medical disease - some of which aren't actually published live to the internet (perhaps behind paywalls) -- then it takes a person's current symptoms and comes up with the best diagnoses from it's search across multiple media types.

How about search in the context of AR... if people overlay data on top of the world we live in, in AR apps, will there be searchable things there? There's room for search related projects in the future, but it just matters what the data is, and why it's being searched.

Normal search 'engines' for web documents --- that itself seems pretty much 'won' by google, until something better comes along (an implant that has better search than google, and I only need to think about what I want to search for then I automatically download the data to my brain for the top 10 results)
When I read stories like this I'm instantly reminded how small my day to day problems really are.
This is a fantastic point!

Co-creator of How to GraphQL here. I’m very excited to tell you that we’re currently working on a new iteration of the page and content that will include more in-depth chapters about dataloaders, authentication, authorization and other advanced topics.

Would be great to hear more thoughts on which topics you’d like to see covered.
It can't be deduced from the footage alone whether the Model S is braking or not, but it's clear that it decelerates and stops after it impacts the dummy car.

In the U.S. at least, it's highly unlikely that the driver in front would be found legally at fault in a similar accident. In most cases of rear-end collisions, the driver who impacts the rear of the car will be found at fault.
Great guide. R syntax is awful, no matter how you slice it and would have been the tool of choice before Python could walk. Still, it is very powerful and great to have around.
I expect to see #FloridaMan stories about sea level rise before we do something constructive like greatly increase the gas tax.
When you’re trying to find a needle in a haystack adding more hay isn’t the solution.
Fuck this "Hide the majority of written content behind a button" movement. I want more than a wimpy 3 sentences when I follow a link to what is supposed to be an article. Is the content their hiding so low quality they are ashamed of it? Are they just trying to gather a metric to see how many people click through? I don't care, I just want to read the damn article with no BS hoops to jump through.
> you could simply direct hospitals to treat poor people for free. Nobody does that

Actually, I believe that's exactly what happens in the US with emergency departments. Although it supports your point about such a practice being distortionary, it also draws attention to the fact of the sheer complexity of all this.

That's mostly what bothers me about seemingly-simple statement or analogies about economics (or, really, economic theorizing in general), that the reality is far more complex and interconnected.
Another feature for this audience is the philosophy that functions shouldn't have side effects. You can still do (several types) of object oriented programming in R, but it does take away some of the ways in which non-programmers shoot themselves in the foot.

I've come to really like the way environments work in R, as well.
Actually, for practical purposes, your question is the wrong one. A lot of people think the more ideologically pure argument is the one to make, but it's usually the one with the least impact and least likely to bring about your desired situation.

"Right" and "Wrong" are thrown out the window as soon as law enforcement makes the case that there is simply no time for the constitution. They're saving little tiny babies! but "OK, how many little tiny babies are you actually saving as opposed to blatant overreaches into the lives of private citizens" is the more effective point. The numbers will look bad, they can't help themselves once they get a whiff of some new power.

In this case, arguing for the _idea_ of liberty (incorrectly) labels you a pedant more concerned with red tape than being a hero.

I took it as they want to be irrelevant and outpaced by all of their competitors in the next 5 years.
JS is not the only language with async capabilities.

I don't know, if suddenly all Google services completely disappeared for all Comcast users, I have a feeling that Comcast would bend over backwards to make them stop.

Nothing about that would be against net neutrality rules. I can already start a website and make it accessible only to specific ISPs by whitelisting only the subnets I want.

What helped me narrow down my options was how easily I could fit a visit into my schedule. Because once you lower the barrier of visiting a therapist, the more likely it is that you'll continue seeing them. Maybe find ones that on the same route to work?

After that it's trial and error. The process almost mimics anti-depressant medication. If you don't feel comfortable with the one you've got, move on to another. That comfort factor is purely qualitative and you can only find the therapist that works for you after wading through a few that don't.

I haven't found mine yet but good luck to you in finding the help you're seeking..
Also, feel free to reach out to me if you want to talk and need a sympathetic ear.
Indeed, though states have boots and guns on the ground to a last resort backup the value of their currency (including protecting against competition).

So I'd pick "Fed-coin" as the last one to go down.
Co-author of the tutorial and founder of prisma here.

Adamkl is right, you are missing a layer in your application. postgraphile, prisma and hasura turn your database into a graphql api, but you don't want to expose that directly. Graphql Bindings allow you to construct a Graphql Api by mapping an existing Api and implementing extra logic.

This allows you to keep permission and business logic in your application layer where it belongs.

My Co-founder Johannes is giving a talk on this technique at GraphQL Europe on Friday. The talks will be available online shortly after, so I would recommend keeping an eye out for that if you are not going.
I have to cut out the naughty bits from a few videos (avi, mp4, mkv, etc.)
> an iq test only really tells you how much you know based on one culture's rating system

Regardless of whether this is true, IQ should be consistent across a culture like Norway, right? Particularly when the results don't show a consistent effect across families.

It's not as simple as a single toggle. Even when you disable as much as possible, apple still receives telemetric data. And "disable it as much as possible" is no easy task... lots of individual switches and screens you need to navigate to get even close to it.
But he's saying that even if the answer to your concern is satisfying, there are other factors which outweigh that benefit and should be considered.
This confused me too. Both are important problems, but I don't know if this categorization makes sense. I think of gender discrimination in the same category as other kinds of discrimination based on race, religion, body characteristics, sexual orientation, etc. It seems odd to lump only gender-based discrimination in with sexual harassment, and none of these others...
except when it isn't. Why the author didn't just delete the originating tweet is beyond me. The core apps are still C++ and will continue to be.
I think the fact the person using that idiom works in the Indiana State Police task force on internet crimes against children kinda makes it relevant.
Like a lot of others in this thread hearing case insensitivity and _ insensitivity (what?) made me gag a little bit. Your explanation for why opened my mind a little bit.

Most languages seem to have a convention that all practitioners follow, which is ideal I think, but this might be second best.
Your aggressive, insulting communication style is making you less effective and undermining your own goals with communicating.
The most surprising part for me is that iPhones have been relatively easily hackable by having access to the data port. That doesn't seem in-line with the high security advertised. What about the inaccessible hsm and all that other jazz?

I speak as someone who checked it occasionally during the whole debacle - gamergate quickly became a referendum on feminism and women's place in the games industry, and I was disgusted by what I read, so I stopped going there.
If you want to visit The Netherlands don't (only) go to Amsterdam. It's like only visiting Disneyland when you go to the US. It's really nice but you don't really get a realistic picture of the country (at least the center).

Rather than focusing on the big sounding absolute number in the headline, the more important number is the 3-fold increase since 2012. This means that the losses are accelerating, which is very concerning.
for enough money, pretty much anything can be backdoor-ed if it hasn't already. The FBI, CIA NSA,. etc have a huge trove of 0-days for this purpose. It's like "I thought TOR made me anonymous" ha you thought wrong.
The more I think about this issue the less interested I am in the extreme of either side. The government shouldn’t have unfettered access to our devices, but I can’t think of any other product in the history of the planet that gave people the ability to hide information so completely that the government could never look at it. To those that argue that our phones are an extension of our minds, that is both a bad thing and fetishizing our phones. Finally, couldn’t I argue that my diary or journal is an extension of my mind (certainly more so than a phone)? Yet diaries and journals can and have been subpoenaed.
I see this line of thinking a lot in tech circles, but you really have to divorce this issue from the digital world. Imagine the exact same argument is about a safe instead of a phone. The government would simply request a warrant and then work on brute forcing their way into the safe.

If you have the same objections when using a safe, the answer to the problem has nothing to do with technology because you believer there is a fundamental flaw in the US criminal justice system. You aren't going to be able to consistently defeat the government by repeatedly trying to outpace them technologically. You have to instead change the laws that govern their actions.

If you think the rules should be different for a safe and a phone, you need to be able to explain why digital evidence should be treated differently than physical evidence?
> The question is can the government be trusted with a backdoor into our personal devices that "only they" can use?

I think a better question is what happens when we go to a paperless society? Because it's coming, and search warrants will be useless in such a society.

And while some of your rhetoric about the abuses of government spying on citizens is justified (e.g. COINTELPRO, Watergate, etc.), search warrants as a whole do far more good than harm.

And I'd hate to see this power for prosecutors disappear just because drug dealers started using iPhones to keep their illegal activities hidden from police.
It's really not. YAML is a superset of JSON, but you wouldn't call a YAML document a JSON document. The set of all colors is a superset of the set containing only orange, but calling every color orange makes no sense.

That's not how shorting works. Most short positions are pairs trade to offset a long position elsewhere, and TSLA is a favorite punch bag for the wall street (crappy financials).
The good news is you went to your GP and typed up a request on Hacker News. Some more good news is that in many cases depression is more of a life-state issue than a neurochemistry issue (1). Further good news is that it can often be resolved by talking to just about anyone. Finding the optimal therapist is far less important than talking to some therapist.

There are a few advantages to talking to a licensed psychotherapist (clinical psychologist, psychiatrist, etc): 1) they are bound by therapist-client privilege; 2) in order to have gained licensure, they had to go through a training process where they built a network of other professionals, not just their own inbred type, but pharmacists, physicians, etc; 3) because they're licensed they want to protect their license, so they will have a low threshold to refer you to a colleague if they believe you need more than they can provide.

Note, absolutely none of that has to do with their skills, their belief system, or anything else. It's strictly to do with the rules that apply to that piece of talking meat.

Given that talking with any piece of meat is better than not, I'd encourage you to talk with a piece of meat that is subject to some social rules that strongly encourage them to make sure you get the best care.

That's a much happier story in that Ring seemed to understand the issue and had a rapid response with a fix. I guess we will see what Tapplock actually does but it seems far more fundamentally terrible.
>they can't help themselves once they get a whiff of some new power

Semantics, but I don't think it is necessarily the "power", so much as it is a new vector to get the evidence they feel that they need to perform their job with less effort. It is a lazy method that circumvents the laws that stand in their way for good reasons.
Great tips! Also worth noting, frequent masturbation leaves you feeling depleted, ruins your eye contact and makes you anti-social. Huge benefit to cutting back if you indulge too often. (Frequent like 4-5+ times a week).
Well, the purported civil rights issues aside (which is a patently absurd point of argument on its face) – if you’re at the point where you’ve accumulated enough experience with both environments to form strong preferences for one over the other, that’s a decent sign that said course might just not be a good fit for you. I mean, professors and TAs are pretty overloaded already, and asking them to redesign course materials to accommodate additional environments is a tall order, especially for introductory courses.
They are already defined, we have a lot of economics and politics theory. The problem is, the scientists, the engineers and the technical people in general don't like and don't study this kind of knowledge, because they think the politicians should be switched for technicians.
Sexual harassment is rife everywhere. Every failed attempt at seduction could be considered harassment. But none of us would be here if our parents didn't try it.
> So... two of the routers affected by the recent VPNFilter malware? Interesting choice.

If you're looking for a router that's never had a documented security flaw, you're probably going to buy a no-name brand that's full of them (because no one's looked yet, so it has a "clean" record).

The factors that you really need to look for are 1) good engineering practices for security, and 2) prompt and effective response to flaws. 1) can hard to verify completely, but you can get a sense of 2) based on patch cycles.

I have a Mikrotik router at home, and I chose it because their products are inexpensive and aimed at professionals, which means the software support is much better than consumer routers. Mine is quite old, but it still gets patches.

Good luck. You may want to narrow it down to just psychiatrists who can see you almost immediately. They can prescribe medicine if they feel it is necessary.

I went this route and despite having decent insurance, every place that took it was a 3-6 month wait for new patients. This is very disheartening to someone who wants to get better but can't even imagine what 3-6 months down the line looks like (have I killed myself yet? did I skip town? etc.)
