Which is unfortunate because cannabis edibles are the most accessible way to consume it in privacy and without the odor or smokey exhaust.

There is research on THC-infused drinks that match the alcoholic beverage experience in time-to-inebriation and the duration of inebriation. Current methods of cannabis consumption stretch the experience out over a long period, which naturally is unfeasible for restaurant venues and the like.
What I mean is that making fake author accounts and then merging with an authenticated account shouldn’t help a malicious actor. Any competent project will be interested in the accounts contributing.

Maybe my org is just simple but if “John Doe” started submitting pull requests and prepend merged them, it’s me on the hook and there are people interested in who John Doe is. And in my org, even John Doe needs a network credential so even their local git instance (which I’ve never seen anyone use) would need a credential.

An ounce is quite a lot but there are several places in Europe where a small quantity of unidentified white powder on you will not cause consequences unless you're a suspected dealer or something. And you won't get searched in the first place unless you're being taken into custody (for some other offense) or suspected for being a danger to others or yourself.

E.g. Berlin is very tolerant. So is Portugal.

Helsinki would be complete opposite. You will be searched for any minor reason and anything found on you will cause consequences regardless of why you're being stopped and searched.

Why wouldn't a contractor leave the company when the company has done everything in its power to show the contractor the door? Aside from doing the job properly, the contractor has zero obligation to the company whose property he's working on.

Banking is a great example. FATCA forces banks all over the world to send financial information on American account holders to the USA.

If a bank has even a vague hint that you might be a US person, they have to send all your personal financial information to the USA, so that the USA can collect tax from you wherever you are in the world.

Not only is this terrible from a privacy perspective. It has cost foreign banks hundreds of millions of dollars to implement. It has cost Australian banks almost half a billion dollars over the past decade.

Yet any time the rest of the world tries to make the USA play by their rules, the US government claims some moral outrage about sovereignty.

As an American living in Turkey to produce software systems for the Education industry. It is in my honest opinion this is mostly all false. Evolution was not removed (if I'm correct it was shifted in which years it was taught, pushing it later in the primary education years). Jihadism is not on the agenda at all. But some south-eastern/eastern provinces do place Islam studies on the bill (in historical manners). It's much like how the US has a "Bible belt" in the south where creationism is taught along evolution. Turkey has a "Quran belt" in it's south-eastern border that also places more emphasis in religious teachings along side it's sciences. In the western portions this is essentially non-existent besides the historical context (Ottoman was Islamic after all)

Ugh, there's really no need for that! I actually worked in telecom for years, including integrating cellular network gear with third-party billing and settlement systems (like Amdocs.)

Billing is hugely complicated and the third party systems cost in the millions of dollars in licensing and maintenance fees. They include thousands of rules to deal with the variety of scenarios (especially in conflict-resolution) that play out when peers settle with each other. The peers themselves work out large and complex legal contracts before they're encoded into these systems.
I'm seeing the opposite, as independent platforms like Mastodon won't be able to implement content ID they won't be complying with this new law, which means it'll potentially become legally dangerous to run Mastodon within the EU.

In which case you blame the programmer who wrote the code, not the employee following the software. Your idea of deferring to the rules over all common sense is the core of the problem. It doesn't matter if we are talking about government rules over which they'll enslave you if you break them or corporate rules over which they'll fire and blacklist you if you break them.
I thought this was because Britain didn't have a constitution as such so the don't have actual referendums?

> An actual binding referendum against a written constitution would have to provide actual wording; rather than just a single word.

I don't disagree for any philosophical reason, but this is very easy to abuse for anyone that favors the status quo. The most notable example I can think of is the republic referendum (to remove the queen as head of state) here in Australia. Deciding the form of the republic was done first and the constitutional changes to do just that was the only question put to the public, splitting the Republican vote.

On the other hand the EU has a bit of a reputation for voting until the plebs get it right, so I can definitely see the case for binding referendums.

No. According to the so called link-tax article, it is not linking but putting content that makes a platform liable.

So this HN post would not be illegal because of the link, but maybe because of the title that was "stolen" from the publisher. The aim is at news.google.com and other search engines and news aggregators that include a blurb coming from the article along the link. To be honest, it is not yet clear if they intend for the title to be taxed or not.

The situation is far simpler than that sentence implies; a + b is (always) equivalent to Add::add(a, b). The same trait/impl rules apply to + as to normal trait function calls.

No, as people quickly encounter if they do numeric/matrix computation in Rust, all type conversions are explicit.

Even better news: that particular Rust book has been available online for a long time, as the official documentation.
A Couple of things:

Mainstream news outlets on this side of the atlantic didn't do much reporting on this vote which might signal tacit support on their part (at least for the link payment portion of this thing which is frankly the sillies part) and that should shape everyone's understanding of their coverage of tech companies in general.

Second, it's hard not to notice that much of what the EU does is trying to hurt US tech companies be that: copyright, GDPR, antitrust, taxes, and many other initiatives the goals of which are to control and "punish" these companies. It's easy to complaint about silly steel tariffs while they keep enacting these trade barriers on US industry, the fact the the news media isn't making that connection brings it back to the first point.
Considering that you are a DNS spoof away from installing packages from a compromised server,

Virtually all package managers now verify package and/or metadata signatures. If a server is spoofed and the system downloads a compromised package, the package manager will simply refuse to install it, because it is not signed by your distribution's packages.

Reproducible builds are useful because it reduces the probability of a compromised build system going undetected, by building the package on several independent builders.

For the user it also answers the question: does a distributor actually compile from the source code that they claim to compile from?
The law was basically made at the publisher’s behest to get Google to pay them. So far, it has spectularly backfired.

In Germany, Google started to delist news sites from their index. After traffic dropped, the publishers gave Google a license to link freely. Law defeated.

In Spain, they went a bit further and wrote into the law that Google had to list news sites in their index. So Google News shut down in Spain. Law defeated.

I guess, third time’s the charm?

Not because it links, but because it uses the headline (which is copyright protected) as the link text.

We overestimate our ability to spot fake news
I try to understand what the real problems are, and if there is the will to fix them. Then I try to understand the real social hierarchy and everyone's biases.

In the last two jobs I've started, both had serious problems from using an ORM framework and dependency injection framework incorrectly. In one company, the project ended up going nowhere because of incorrect biases towards using a database. In the other company, everyone knew that if they didn't fix the problem, they'd go out of business.

I left the company that didn't want to fix its code, and still work at the company that fixed its ORM and dependency injection problems.

[Edit] The project that went nowhere failed because the lead programmers didn't know how to use a database. They wrapped it with layers of frameworks and code generators. The layers took so much time to work with that the schedule dragged out, and we missed our market opportunity. There was no will to fix the real problems, so ultimately I knew I had no future at the company.

> so they're assuming the only build being compromised is the one that ends up in the repo and no one can confirm that easily. So just have two (or more) identical servers in separate locations under different people's control so they aren't both compromised?

In the end, it should be more like 1000+ servers. It's probably quite trivial for a three-letter agency to hack the notebook of one or two open-source contributors. It's less trivial to hack hundreds or thousands of different servers hosted by different people in different regions, with varying amounts of tinfoil.
Well it seems you'd have to not only guess the file name, but also the 5 character code; as it appears its uppercase, lower and numbers, which is ~916 million possibilities

In addition to other concerns posted this bill seems to open the door wide to content trolls (similar to patent trolls) who could acquire a small portion of the content being referenced by a site, then threaten that site with large legal bills.

This would likely hit small companies and individual users hardest and could be a boon to various governments who want to silence a particular view.
I don't think Carmack was speaking to any kind of content in particular (canned or otherwise). This was more of an update on the current state of of the technology.

In any case, I think it's early to say what's a dead end. As you say, there are no killer apps yet. Even VR porn is still at a demo stage. It all might be a dead end, if you want to go on existence proof alone.

Honestly, I was expecting one of the VR platforms to attract simple applications/games. Resolution doesn't matter much if you're looking at stick figures.

If big, epic content is what it will take to get VR to that "real product" stage then I think the platforms will have to produce it. I could imagine "canned" content similar to old Imax movies working well, but that is not a 2 guys and a camera type of job. Who would put up that kind of money, for such a small audience, when all the first mover benefits go to the platforms.

> Contractors aren’t humans

Real story from one of the (big) french telecom companies I worked for, as a contractor (a few years ago)...

In that company, a regular employee was given a full desk, contractors were only given 2/3 of a desk (meaning 2 desks put side by side for 3 persons).

Also, contractors were NOT allowed to go to ANY conference. Even when it was about technical stuff that was directly for their project. We had to rely 100% on a transmission of information by our managers/team leads. This led to humorous results, to say the least.
Things like: a BIG meeting with plenty of people and managers, who then decided a HUGE technical change on the network, without the ONLY expert because he happened to be a contractor. Once given the results of the meeting, the guy was in a "WTF?" shock. He told me that be immediately binned the request: it basically asked him to disable the authentication server! Not the best decision for a BIG ISP, LOL. Seriously, that's almost beyond belief. (But I have other incredible stories similar to this one).

As a contractor, I have really been mistreated A LOT. So much so that I've sworn never to do it again.

No, in July is (assuming someone will force it, which is likely) the vote by the EP to confirm the the committee is authorized to work with the Council on the plans.

Whatever the negotiate out will then by voted on by the MEPs. The negotiation is likely to take a few months, and I kind of expect a fight about the speed: those against the proposal will want to stall to get the vote as close as possible to the elections in May 2019, whereas those in support likely want to get it out the door as quickly as possible. I've seen some people suggest December as a likely time for the final vote.
As others have pointed out, it seems that FileVault is not enabled by default on new Macs. You have to go to System Preferences and find the option enable it.

However, when running the macOS installer, either when installing a fresh copy of macOS or when performing an upgrade, the default is to turn FileVault on unless you uncheck it.

I guess there are valid reasons why Apple don't ship new Macs with FileVault enabled from the factory. But it is strange that it doesn't at least prompt you / encourage you to enable it in the initial setup wizard, like the macOS installer does.
