As a Jewish born Iranian atheist refugee to the states who protested against Iran a few years ago in Iran, I'd have to say, you're pretty wrong on this one.

I hate Islamic Republic with every single cell in my body but you're just wrong.

* U.S. plain and simply fucked Iran up with a coup at 1953.

* Then helped Islamic Republic gain power in 1979. (This is up for debate though)

* Then helped Saddam Hussein attack Iran.

* Then sanctioned the country to the verge of bankruptcy.

* Then made a deal and backed out of it for no reason (Internal politics?)
The author of this comment has a history of apologizing for Chinese crimes:

>>LOL, kill thousands of its own citizens in protests? The Chinese government never did that (even the famous tank man was unharmed and was not arrested), the truth is, many soldiers got killed because they were not allowed to fire at citizens. Even the Chinese government did kill its own citizen they learnt from the US (1932 Bonus Army, 1970 Kent state massacre, Jesus that was only 48 years ago, not mentioning almost every day someone is being shot by the police somewhere in the US. The funny thing is one shot won't even make it to the newspaper now.)

>>In a word, you have been brainwashed by your media. I know it's hard to wake up someone who pretends to be asleep, but it's good for you.
Can you file a legal challenge? You are being forced to do for-profit work, for a for-profit company, to pay your pubblic school fees.

Sure, it's just 1 cent worth of work in the grand scheme of things - but the distance from zero to anything is much larger than the distance between 1 cent and 1 dollar.

That's something that courts dislike much more than any tracking.
This mapping isn't correct. Hangouts does all of the above - video chats, voice chats, text with emojis, pictures and videos.

Hangouts is also integrated with Google Voice and GMail. So when someone calls my GV phone number, it rings on my cell phone and in any open GMail tab (but not in the GMail app). I get an SMS, it pops up as a hangouts message too.

It is a mess, but trying to kill Hangouts is insane, it's deeply integrated and it's extremely convenient to use.
Well GR is potentially very wrong both at very large scales (seemingly requiring dark matter and dark energy) and very small scales (due to known present incompatibilities with quantum mechanics). It's only been shown to be a highly accurate model everywhere in between.
Non-competes, the most anti-innovation, anti-skilled worker, anti-free market, anti-business and anti-American thing in working today.

Non-competes are protectionism for larger businesses over small/medium businesses and try to own employees skills that they may have brought to the company or client themselves.

As a freelancer, contractor and self-employed business owner/worker, please make these illegal, tired of these.

The worst part about non-competes is they are blanket protectionism usually and up to 2+ years of non-compete, this sometimes happens on a job that is only 1-3 months. You have to laugh at those types of situations. Usually the client will push them aside or lower the time to the job plus some time, but both non-competes and arbitration agreements are horrible for workers in today's economy where people change jobs frequently and many are self-employed/freelancing/contracting. NDAs are plenty enough to protect companies from clients and work done specifically for the projects.

After SCOTUS upheld arbitration agreements [1] I am worried if non-competes become fully legal which they are not in extreme cases except in California [2]. We need to move the way of California and make them null and illegal, it hasn't stopped innovation in CA and may be a big reason why so much innovation goes on in Cali.

The non-compete should not exist. At the core, removing competition from skilled workers in our economy is bad all around, unless you are one of the current big fish.

That does not work because most of the food transportation is by ship freight and truck, which have enough range to evade your tax.

And the local transport costs are identical between local and export farmer, while local production is more expensive on labor and fuel.

The only thing to do is to raise duties on food and... it is risky politically. Alternatively, subsidize much more. Good luck!
The bigger issue is insurance. If you have stuff stolen and there's no sign of forced entry (home or vehicle) then your insurance company will likely be asking questions about how exactly the thieves gained access.

Well, now everyone know Google sucks in privacy 'cause doing business on users data. I'm not wonder why their ALL messengers failed.
On one hand: true.

On the other hand: it's actually not so ridiculous to advertise quick undo for an app that involves drawing. MyPaint for example stands out as having undo mapped to Z instead of Ctrl+Z, an amazing quality of life improvement for drawing that I wish more painting apps had. It sounds minor... but I end up using Undo an insane amount when drawing, and this lets me relax my hand more.

So, I can also see why that's a good thing to mention, too.
Tried enabling the resistFingerprinting option, and while it was (even more) annoying, it wasn't impossible. Seemed to require one or two additional screens. The slowly fading images are really frustrating, but I get hit with them normally.

conda is decent, but for some reason it seems to live in a weird parallel universe where people not in science have never heard about it.

While I'm generally happy with it, some gripes:

- Using it's own package format with its own repos means that for many (most) projects you can't get all dependencies from conda, but some from pypi as well.

- And it doesn't keep track of which files belong to which package. So package X will happily scribble over files installed by package Y, and vice versa, leading to either X or Y being silently broken depending on the order they were installed in! Argh! I mean, this is something dpkg/rpm/etc. figured out decades ago, it's not rocket science.

- The dependency solver seems a bit weird. Often when upgrading an environment, it will install the same version of a package with another 'build tag', then a few days later if you upgrade again, it will downgrade back to the previous build tag. Not sure if this is the fault of the dependency solver, or whether the problem is in the packages themselves.

- Similarly, there's a lot of mutual incompatibility in the repos. E.g. dependencies on openssl versions prevent upgrading, or require removal of some package etc. I think this is not so much the fault of the conda tool itself, but rather that Anaconda Inc. needs to be more picky wrt packaging policy. Again, Linux distros have been pretty good at this. E.g. https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ , https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/ .

PS: While I have above mentioned dpkg/rpm as examples to follow, it's not like those formats don't have problems either. https://nixos.org/nix/ and https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/ are perhaps the most prominent examples of 'next generation' packaging systems solving some of the problems of the old-school dpkg/rpm approaches.

The government is invading our privacy with surveillance and border searches, agreed. No defense or denial of that here.

But I don’t see stories where some congressperson is then publishing some of the fruits of that surveillance or searches just to embarrass political rivals. That would be especially beyond the pale.

How did this get to be such a contentious issue? While I've been focused on other languages this year, my Python side projects have all gradually moved towards pipenv. I still have a few locally shared virtual environments, and setup.py is still the default for distribution. I also sometimes embed into uwsgi, but I don't know of anyone else that bothers with that. We're using pex at work.

Overall the article seems hyperbolic, relative to the actual events cited. Packaging is a work in progress everywhere.
Interesting because:

We’re aware that our customers are unable to use data this morning. One of our third party suppliers has identified a global software issue in their system which has impacted us.

We’d encourage our customers to use Wifi wherever they can and we apologise for the inconvenience caused.
I second this. Please be vocal about how Australian's are now boycotted. We need the government to freak out

8 Cybersecurity KPIs and How to Track Them
> 60%? Forget that. Why should anyone give up their right to work for a little over half of their market value?

They don't. They very specifically can not ask an employee to "give up their right to work", only in the US does that shit happen.

German law (and most european law around NCC in various fashion) requires that the NCC ne limited in time and not have "unreasonable clauses" e.g. can't prevent working in the field throughout the country.

As a result enforceable NCCs are extremely rare and only happen for actual business interest reasons, it's not a sword over the employee's head as it is in the US.

Also it's at least 50% of gross, so closer to 65~70% of net.
Listen to the Joe Rogan podcast with her, nobody can run non-stop for the full 240 miles. They sleep, rest even if for 10 - 20 minutes.

She was also resting, but on average she stopped fewer times than anybody else in the race.

Also, Moab is not like a marathon, it's rough terrain, so you can't possibly run with full force, like on a marathon flat surface.

For 2. note that Let's Encrypt just automates a facility every CA provides (is required to provide). A compliant CA is required to have a means by which you can point out that a private key is revealed and they'll revoke certificates for the corresponding public key. It's just that for Let's Encrypt this is automated the same way as everything else.

You SHOULD NOT post private keys, if you find a key that you think shouldn't have been shown to you, you can prove you have it without posting it anywhere. That's what Let's Encrypt does in the revoke-with-key modality. A poor man's way to do this with tools a typical Linux system has is to construct a CSR using that private key, but requesting a Subject that makes it obvious this is a bogus request, e.g. CN="mholt should not have this private key" instead of any real subject. Bad guys don't learn the private key by seeing this CSR, but everyone (who understands cryptography) learns that you must have the private key or moral equivalent.

The requirement to revoke if a private key is revealed is why that craziness with the reseller happened earlier this year where they'd been keeping all their customer keys in escrow (if you allowed them to generate the key - never do this) and they said "Oh, these keys are leaked" and sent all the keys to the Certificate Authority. The CA went "Oh, these really are the private keys, huh" and revoked all the affected certificates. The Baseline Requirements don't have an option for "But, but, my reseller is an idiot, pretend you haven't seen the keys". So, don't trust your idiot reseller with your keys and then they can't do that to you.

So if google want to train general image classification to pick out things, e.g. road signs:

google can use their 4D datasets to select a gazillion real still images that contain what they _know_ are road-signs or not road-signs or whatever.

And then they can feed these to their image classification stuff.

The thing is, nobody can afford a reasonable UBI. US even if they'd put all the military spending into it would do about $200 per month and person. Without a lot of social services, this does not work.

Poland cannot afford 200 PLN (about $60) if we put the whole budget into this which is impossible. It gets strained even with child bonus...

Those are back off the envelope calculations and an unfixable problem.

If you introduce a cutoff it's no longer universal and you still probably cannot afford it.

It's also the single largest inhibitor to being able to use Tor on a daily basis.

I really like the idea of Tor and would like to use it as my daily driver. When I try, nearly every website I visit (thanks cloudflare) forces me to spend several minutes trying to solving recaptchas. Despite my best efforts at solving them correctly it usually takes several attempts.

I've written scripts that use the APIs of human-powered captcha solving services but even those can often take a couple minutes so I'm stuck sitting around waiting for a result.

I really wish recaptcha would die. I understand that they're intended to stop scrapers and bots (or at least it's marketed as such). I'd gladly pay a few satoshis to websites to bypass these things.

Uber has poisoned the well with the type of reckless behaviour you are talking about. Self driving cars are no longer assumed to be safe by default. They kill people just like human driven cars, prrhaps they are even worse than humans at driving. So far Waymo has kept it's reputation as one of the few self driving companies that hasn't killed any of it's passengers.

Calling Wqymo an Uber with employees is a pretty big insult to the most advanced sdc company so far. Uber's self driving attempt has failed. Uber is nothing without it's drivers.
While it was likely easier to exfiltrate data this way, you can rest assured that if they want to exfiltrate it, as the producers of the hardware and the firmware, they can easily do it.

They control the kernel. They can read it from the screen, from the app memory, from the TCP stream with a minor patch to the TLS code. Seriously, the "how do you know" rabbit hole has to start from first principle.

You don't know. And the special API made is easier if it did happen. But it was not an enabler or anything - if they wanted to, they did it without, before, or with Facebook's help.
Spend a day or two using Tor browser and you'll feel the pain that recatpcha causes real human users. It's beyond frustrating.
