That may be true. However, in Australia, all interrogations have to be filmed completely. Law enforcement cannot lie to the interviewees, kidnapping of targets is not allowed. If Any law enforcement fails to do the correct thing in these areas, courts here will throw out the case. We had a relatively high profile "terror" case here which was thrown out for incorrect procedural actions (starting with the kidnapping of the defendant by ASIO).

I also know of cases where law enforcement improprieties have led the police prosecutors to come down on the side of the defendant in question and the improprieties being dealt with by the judge.

So though we do not have constitutional protections a la USA constitution, we do have other protocols in place.

Mind you, irrespective of any specific political affiliation, most of our politicians are all for higher surveillance and control of the population. It has taken cooperation of both government benches and opposition benches to pass the more draconian legislation in recent years. It has been interesting to watch parliament and see that there are very few there who are willing to grow a backbone and actively protect the rights of the citizens of this nation.

None of the draconian terror related legislation has actually been needed as all such activity is covered by normal criminal and civil legislation previously brought into existence. At least one of the draconian pieces of legislation does not require changes to the legislation to have the targets of that legislation changed at whim. All it requires is an administrative change of definition to change the legislative definition of terrorist. Smart work on the part of those who framed the legislation. A new government can designate any group they don't like as terrorists without going before parliament.

So any citizen of Australia that just wants to mind their own business can be easily caught up in the entire mess.

Off-topic and just curious: Are you from Pittsburgh? I've seldom seen "to be" dropped as often as I do here. :)
Can someone explain to me how, with modern day A/B testing, companies can still fail with these kinds of deployments?
Anecdotally: there are campaigns using APP, and it apparently hasn't been problematic in that regard.
Wow, simply wow... you're rationalizing and normalizing taking away people's freedom to exist. Take your worship of Kafkaesque fascism and don't let the door hit you in the posterior.
That definition would make a lot of healthy companies arbitrarily bankrupt. Not many companies keep their assets in cash.

Plus this also presumes that people report faithfully, accurately, and that zero mistakes are made.

The biggest problem with immutable ledgers and smart contracts is simple: Shit happens.
Fair points.

I never had the second or third problems. I don't use the horn on pedestrians unless strictly necessary, nor do I honk at people as revenge.

The first point was a challenge at the beginning, but I think I've done fine using both the brakes and the horn at the same time. I can think of any least one instance where both were necessary to avoid a crash. I'm certain my worst case stopping time has increased at least a small amount, but it's a worthwhile trade-off in my view.

The iPhone is probably the only major device where the modem is a USB peripheral. Qualcomm, Samsung, and Meditek all offer DMA between their radios and ARM cores.

I certainly don't trust any of those players to even ship relatively secure or even modern code to boot the ARM cores, let alone properly protect memory.

With the Purism stance of ensuring the baseband is on separate silicon, on a relatively limited (and easily hardware isolated) bus, they're able to effectively treat the baseband as an untrusted device.
Private servers can be secure, that's not really relevant to the issues being discussed in the article.
Not directly related, but sometimes I do wonder how free software can compete with the services of the behemoths (maps, assistants, etc).

So the other day I hit this article [1] on planet.kde.org about KDE Itinerary, an application that can store your boarding passes and offer some additional services, such as calendar integration or notifications in case your destination has a different socket type, they drive on the left side, etc. It seemed quite useful and some parts are novel. Maybe there is a future for phones with just free software.

My aunt was a courier in Brussels in the 90s/2000s! I visited her when I was backpacking and she gave me the low down. It was pretty funny, really boring job but she had to get security clearance, get hand to hand and firearm training. It came up because she was giving me a ride somewhere and when I first got in her car she was like “now be careful, there’s a gun here, here, here, there, there, under the seat between the seats behind the seats, in the glove box” just all over the place!!!
Of course they told you that. Do yourself a favor and never take it there for inspection again as they’re obviously dishonest.
You know how there is a trend of open businesses? Basically people who open source their metrics?

I think that things have the potential to go even further. A business could open a bank account and have its transactions viewable at any time or its balance queried.

The business could encrypt customer data and then release the customers' keys to the customer if the business's cash balance drops below a key threshold.
I've got a zillion reply thread here explaining at length why this 'replacing just the race/ethnicity' is not remotely the rhetorical killshot you seem to think it is. You are just repeating it to me. I'm not sure what else to tell you at this point.
You should rejoice: The court declared the law itself unjust. So you are also now free to sleep outside in the winter (when no shelter has vacancies).
I believe people are better off when they have shelter, food, healthcare, access to healthcare facilities, and so on. In addition, those lodging should be secure so the person's belongings are safe when they go about their day. I'd like people to be able to store and cook food safely as well.

This doesn't really describe jail. Jail is designed to punish people, and all too often, to hold people suspected of crimes. We have rape jokes about jails. Access to healthcare seems to be missing, especially if you have issues with mental health. You really cannot have belongings: For someone homeless, that could mean they don't have belongings later on, even if they were only held for a short time. If you happen to be a homeless person that works (yes, they exist), it also means you probably just lost your job.
The 4th point is the file sharing was disabled by the administrator. There really should be a clear message on that rather than error the file transfer.

For the rest, I don't think that skype can work at all when opened on multiple devices. It should be easy enough to uninstall from your phone.
> And what if it turns out that homelessness, on a local scale, is like traffic - and providing more services just creates more homeless in the area?

Do you honestly believe most people are so lazy that they are desperate to lose everything they have? If so, why do high school students give up their after-school time to flip hamburgers and bag groceries - because otherwise they will starve? I'll encourage you to read about Maslow's hierarchy.
You're right, I have clearly forgotten the spirit of the discussion here. I apologize for that.
For VOIP I've just been using TeamSpeak3. I'd prefer mumble, but TS3 is more user friendly and running a server on a cheap VPS is simple. No callouts/phone numbers though, pure VOIP, and probably hard to get a customer to join a TS3 server if you try using it professionally.
But imo gaming VOIP is miles ahead of everything else, because gaming has relied on it for a long time.

None of the non-gaming VOIP solutions (I know of) even have voice activation, which drives me crazy.

For text, my friend circle has shifted to just using whatsapp web, again, I'd prefer Signal,or Matrix (or even IRC), but there's the network effect shrugs.

I can live with TS3 and whatsapp over Microsoft Skype any day of the year.
Yoga Night at the Brewery is not a national security concern and you know it.
I wont believe that. Can you show some proof?
That's an understatement. Locking people away simply because others don't like them sounds a lot like, I don't know, a non-Godwin's law exception.

It's disturbing when people even rhetorically-suggest breaking with common decency and dogwhistle encourage strong-man fascism.
According to http://usdebtclock.org/ the $ 21 trillion US national debt is now 114% of US GDP and about a third of that debt is held by foreign countries. Unfunded liabilities (medicare, social security, veterans benefits etc) is almost a million dollars per tax payer ($940K).

Either we are partying and leaving it to our children to clean up the mess or
arithmetic does not matter to the US economy.

I cannot make sense of it and I had exactly the same feeling in 2001 and 2008.
I've been working on sensitive projects with trained professionals for 2 decades and have watched how hard it is for people to keep personal computing resources and professional ones separate. The idea that campaign staffers would be required to maintain a level of OPSEC that IT security people can't reliably maintain seems unrealistic and unproductive.

I think people have a broken idea of what a congressional campaign actually is. It's not an enterprise with a security team. It's a bunch of random people working together for a year or so, and only for a few months full time, at that. That's what makes them targets. Whatever our industry does to protect campaigns needs to engage with the reality of what a campaign is, rather than pretending they're all credit scoring firms that should have known better than to not spend all of their $13,000,000 security budget this year.
Yeah our company's website was down all day due to this. We are looking at ways to mitigate in the future.
Show, don’t tell: a well-crafted portfolio aimed at the industry that suits you the most will help you get your foot in the door... as for the doors to be knocked on, corporate websites and LinkedIn are your best friends. Good luck!
Wait, does that mean they do password resets over plain text?
Zoom used to be rock solid, but is also suffering software rot these days. We've been having huge problems with recent updates only being able to talk to some meeting IDs.
That's what the government is doing by providing strong evidence that the mother wasn't in the country at the time. If the person contends that she actually was, they have the opportunity to present their own evidence of that.

That’s not how criminal law works. The defendant is never under any obligation to prove innocence. The prosecution always has to prove guilt. Having suspicion is not having proof.

Because they are not those people. The people who (as most of that country does) prefer socialist policies are already living in a place that has them, so they do not come and do not change election outcomes. The few people who do come are the ones less likely to support socialist policies.

So you attribute that level of conciseness that Trump never stated. He never said that we want the good non socialist minority of Norwegians.
>"Susan Stick, another recent hire (June 2018) who is the company’s general counsel — a role that appeared to be vacant for two years before she joined — is expanding her role to include people operations as well."

So they have a lawyer being asked to take on what are essentially HR duties? If that's not the sign of a sinking ship I don't know what is. I wouldn't expect that individual to be there for much longer either.

Also "People Operations" is a load of shit, another Silicon Valley invention that seemingly all startups now feel compelled to have. I've had a few People Operations departments in jobs past and their duties largely consisted of brining the credit card to company "drink ups" and ordering dart boards and ping pong equipment for the office. The bar for this role is even lower than that of regular HR.

Netflix did something sort of like that when they split off shipping dvds into a completely different unit.

Well, other than memcpy. And it's kinda sketchy in the way that they did it: it was a tacked-on footnote in the C99 standard retained through to C11.

Well, void * * or char * * (spaces so Hacker News doesn’t eat it) would do just as well…
But why would you look at VTA when it's one of the worst-performing systems in the nation? Their ridership is in freefall.

I wish they would do more practical engineering work on the only real product that they do have, which is the laptop. I visit their forum from time to time, and there are multiple long standing posts with multiple people facing problems due to battery drain, fan issues, suspend/resume, freezes etc. All this grandstanding is useless if the product fails basic usability criteria.
It is unlikely people are using CNAME for the direct record (e.g. domain.com) since this does not work with the majority of DNS providers. It can work in theory but only if your DNS server has no other records (e.g. SOA, NS, etc) which is not usually the case. In most cases providers like this use a CNAME for 'www' and give IP addresses for the root domain. Which is exactly what medium did according to a couple of posts I found talking about the process.

In all reality that is probably not the actual reason they're deprecating it just a side note or poor excuse attempt.

Shame to see this feature go, but it reduced marketing for medium itself, so I was always surprised by it. Does seem to remove product value though in terms of something people would pay for. So may hurt revenue potentially?
But if the situation was reversed and Trump was the email server bandit this thread would be 50% hate on Trump posts.

The worst part has been the poor communication. If they were to give clearer insight from the get go, that'd give me more confidence and patience. Saying "check back in 2 hours" isn't useful.

The US bill of rights doesnt define the rights. The bill of rights calls out special rights that the govt shall not touch.

The rights are granted to us by our creator aka natural law. The same law used to declare our independence from the crown and an inherent part of the fabric of the US.

Not sure if this is clearly stated yet.
That was an explanation of why long articles that don't have recipes at the end aren't consistently ranked higher than short articles that don't have recipes at the end.

Nope. There's a reason that void * exists. How would you write a "generic" function like qsort without a pointer cast?
Agreed. Slack is so much better for voice calls, video calls and screen sharing.

Just kidding. Slack supports none of these features and neither the other competitors. There is just nothing comparable to skype.
Same here. We have 1.5 million monthly active users. Still using unminified JavaScript.

No, it's the stuff in the personal accounts that's a more interesting target. You're trying to dredge up stuff on J. Random Candidate (or their manager, or staffer) that will distract and derail the campaign. Pictures of someone doing a bong rip in college, details of interpersonal drama, that kind of thing.

The Podesta emails show how much more mileage attackers got out of drama than substance.
I spent my last two years of residency taking my notes in Evernote, but they really fall short in the transition between hand-written notes and that shift to research where you need to make high-quality handwritten notes over a PDF, like Notability, and then move those PDFs to the bibliography phase of databasing. Now that I'm out of training and doing my own work, that like of integration with my future self really killed EverNote for me. Now I need to figure out how to ensure all my notes are saved somewhere.

These knowledge management systems really need to think about a human through their education-training-research-job lifecycle. I think DogPile + Notability + Evernote would be a great integration.
>The Bolt actually used many of the Chevy Sonic hardware/parts so I would hardly call it being built from the ground up

According to GM, the Bolt shares no components of the Sonic.

https://www.caranddriver.com/news/2017-chevrolet-bolt-ev-pho...

>all-new chassis called BEV II, which isn’t related to the Gamma platform on the Sonic hatchback. Despite the Bolt’s compact footprint, it’s longer than the Sonic by 5.0 inches, wider by 1.2 inches, higher by 3.1 inches, and has a 3.0-inch-longer wheelbase

https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1106137_chevy-bolt-ev-n...

>GM says the Chevy Bolt EV does not share any elements of those vehicles' small-car architecture, which was developed by its Korean small-car team.

>"There are no Bolt EV parts tied to the G2 architecture"

Sounds pretty "ground up" to me.
Yes, that's quite good. It's pretty common to find server-side actions that take longer than 150ms to just return the page, and 2ms render times absolutely smoke most JS-framework pages.

I stand by my original comment (it's better to avoid loads than to assume you're fast), but good on you for getting those latencies down.
> so it can't be fooled by impostor websites, however clever

Can't this be defeated by DNS poisoning? TLS/HSTS would help, but that assume folks are verifying that the hostname matches the cert... (big assumption)

In any case, I see your point, thank you for explaining it.
Ugh, the company toys and bullshit. I market my team to candidates by saying that we don't have any of that garbage.

HR is the most critical part of a corporation, but I've never worked anywhere that seemed to treat it seriously.
The Inspiration for Monument Valley’s Levels: From Nicki Minaj to Peter Pan
Sure, it can be compared, but it’s not a one-dimensional comparison to my eyes—you’d have to pick a dimension of security to compare to get a proper ordering.

For instance in this case it seems like the iPhone has (considerably) more hardened hardware for many scenarios where you lose control of your phone. That’s not the only sense of security people care about. From the perspective of securing the phone from doing unwanted things without your permission, you have to trust Apple entirely to make the right decision. If you don’t trust Apple to make these decisions, the phone does not reflect a secure interaction.
They announced it (Qwikster, I believe), and then they immediately canceled that plan after massive backlash.

You don't have to verify that your hostname matches the cert. The browser does that for you. That's part of the point.

Well, they will have made it in a few decades, but you can preorder it now, and they'll send one back to you before you preordered.
Not really -- your bill of rights can explicitly say that it does not cancel out other rights that it did not mention. That's the purpose of the 11th Amendment to the United States constitution.

Tees for Rent: no, we're not renting t-shirts out
Smh. Zero tolerance is zero thinking is zero humanity. Common-sense by discretion must prevail where 8+ million are locked-up, the most overcriminalized country with the most prisoner per-capita in the world, save Seychelles. As John Oliver pointed out, DA's are elected based on "tough on crime" nonsense, have all of the power to decide whom/how to prosecute and there aren't enough public defenders so the majority of people plead guilty, even if they're innocent, because they have no hope of fighting a system that is broken and doesn't provide either a speedy trial or adequate representation.
Your regular car battery is probably https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead%E2%80%93acid_battery which is a different technology. The Prius uses Nickel–metal hydride batteries. Again, different technology.

The Leaf and Tesla both use lithium-ion. I don't know why the apparent difference. But per https://www.tesla.com/support/vehicle-warranty-m3, Tesla's battery warranty is 8 year or 120k miles, and comes into effect if your range drops by 30%. So they expect better performance than the apparent real world performance of the Leaf.

I also do not know why there would be a difference in those technologies.
