Canada wants trade with the US more than trade with Iran and thus bows to the US.

As do EU nations.

Quote:

The Belgium-based financial messaging service added: “This step, while regrettable, has been taken in the interest of the stability and integrity of the wider global financial system.”

SWIFT’s decision further undermines EU efforts to maintain trade with Iran and save an international deal with Tehran to curtail its nuclear program, after President Donald Trump pulled the US out in May. Being cut off from SWIFT makes it difficult for Iran to get paid for exports and to pay for imports.

Earlier this week, European Justice Commissioner Vera Jourova pledged to find an effective solution, saying that technical work on creating the mechanism to allow EU trade with Iran continued.

“We Europeans cannot accept that a foreign power, not even our closest friend and ally, takes decisions over our legitimate trade with another country,” she told the European Parliament in Strasbourg, stressing that the bloc would not be cowed by probable US penalties.

Oh, thanks to the power of the internet search, I found a scan of that article: http://epizodsspace.airbase.ru/bibl/tm/1990/10/otrits-massa....
The journal is "Техника-молодежи" (a Soviet style name that I am incapable of translating to English) and the article is from 1990.

And that article refers to a publication by Robert Forward in a journal with a name like Aerospace Technology or Aerospace Engineering. But I found an article in on the same topic in NewScientist: https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg12517084-200-the-powe...

Wikipedia, of course, has an article on Negative mass as well.
Sometimes new IT users do not comprehend why many things exists to navigate through text since they are born in mouse/X graphics era.

Many of that trick does not have a purpose anymore but many still have, and not only for terminal usage but also for speed and comfort.

The bad part IMO is the dichotomy between "younger" and "older" users, the former would benefit a lot from many "semi-forgotten techs" but the letter need to modernize and explain things a bit or at least advertise with proper demos.

In Emacs world many things happen in this direction with newly precooked configs, new packages etc, same happen in shell land with zsh/fish and the recent "epidemic" new tool set that mostly add sugar to classic unix utilities, that's good but we need more and more.

I dream a GuixSD with Emacs as a login shell on terminal and as default desktop with EXWM and a good looking default theme, a small org-based intro vitutor style at first startup, perhaps with few video demo and many, many more users may be enlightened :-)
Good for Canada - they showed a lot of spine in criticising Saudi Arabia this summer and they're showing a lot of spine with this.

Combined with the UK's seizure of Facebook documents, it's a great week for assertive liberal democracies. Let's hope we're setting ourselves up for a 2019 where we'll get some sunlight into all the dark places that have been building up for the last couple of decades.

Why would a renowned scientist doing world changing research commit suicide suddenly?
“Negative masses are not a new idea in cosmology. Just like normal matter, negative mass particles would become more spread out as the universe expands – meaning that their repulsive force would become weaker over time. However, studies have shown that the force driving the accelerating expansion of the universe is relentlessly constant. ”

Is it though? How can you measure a universe-size force that takes billions of years to “move” on a human lifetime scale?
I wish EFF or some other privacy advocate would start making a fuss about recaptcha.

IMO "digital" world is a good mirror of society: we lost diversity, freedom, experimentation abilities in our society and IT reflect, maybe anticipate, that really well.

So a nice analogy far more "dark & real" can be about an imaginary corporatocracy like Continuum TV series, only without "game changing heroes" that are not much realistic. The realistic part can be "many little heroes" that protect themselves using free software as much as they can and thanks to their knowledge and propaganda they may change something not as single individual but as a "specie" :-)

They voted for it to cover Bill's ass on the last day of parliament and 2 weeks of Dutton and ScoMo getting dumb people scared about Xmas.

The amendments to this stupid act do gut a lot of the stupidities (not completely), so the pressure now is to make this (and the Nauru re-settlement) the only thing that the ALP allows on the first days of parliament next year.

The author of this comment has a history of attacking the Chinese government:

>This is ridiculous equivocation between a democratic society with a rule of law and an authoritarian regime. You're kidding yourself if you don't think the Chinese government has an interest in data owned by foreign nationals that they could gain access to.
> Rushed through in less than four days so they can go on holidays.

It was planned this way by the intelligence agencies and its supporters. It always is.
The detail that the author goes into not just typeface, but finding all the references for the visual style of Wall-E (diving into the creators, corporations, logos, art, propaganda, events in history, iconic products, architecture, movie references, etc) not only make me applaud his detective work but also the work of those artists who put all that detail into the movie. Really amazing to see the build up of many iconic styles coming together as a thematic whole.

I believe a number of video game engines use this approach.

There’s a talk about this approach in the game Destiny: https://www.gdcvault.com/play/1022164/Multithreading-the-Ent...

And also in the Uncharted engine: http://twvideo01.ubm-us.net/o1/vault/gdc2015/presentations/G...

They go a step further by allowing threads to pause and resume their state by changing the stack pointer.

These sort of systems are useful in games where you basically want to be using all of the cpu all of the time and there’s no reason to ever give control back to the operating system’s scheduler (with mutexes).
With that male card we see companies where every male employee is automatically CEO and play golf and sit at the beach and all the lower level employees are female and forced to do all the work, like a scene from a slave plantation.

Could an expat Australian dev be compelled to put backdoors in software even while overseas, under threat of being prosecuted when he returns?

If so, Australians can't even be employed in foreign software companies.

> This is another thing that adds to my deep sense of shame to live in this country (sadly, that list is long and growing).

I don't support this legislation, but I have to ask, which country is doing a better job on human rights issues than Australia in your opinion? Surely not China or nearly any country in Asia, Africa, or South America? Surely not the US? Probably not much of Europe?
"European-originated culture" is perhaps a better term. And it makes sense, in that a lot of cultural idioms and thinking is shaped from similar Greco-Roman origins in these cultures.

It's always possible to say "X is too diverse to be called a single culture" because these things are fractal (there's more diversity to discover at every level), but on a global scale, it makes sense to use "white culture" or "European-originated culture" as a reasonably precise term.
Within the big cities (Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague) people are very tolerant and life is good. No matter your skin color, to fully integrate you do need to learn some Dutch. That being said, there are lots of expats living here and many welcoming communities to be a part of (without learning Dutch). I can only speak for my personal experiences of course.
I am an Australian software developer and am currently getting https://www.lifepim.com ready for release which, funnily enough has the main selling point as "Your data is private, secure and free from adverts" - what a joke.

The scary part is not knowing how the law is going to be implemented - I am hopeful that smart people work on the implementation of it in terms of practicality.

If it is an on request thing "give us the details of terrorist@blah.com" then that is doable, but if they really want backdoor access to all accounts, then that is ridiculous amount of work and a lot of security risks to worry about.

Wait and see I guess.

They mean that, if you know upfront how long every task takes and the order they need to run in, it's straightforward to lay out a schedule that has no resource contention.

The best discussion I've found in terms of the legislation is at [1].

The most insidious part to me as a programmer, is the definition of a "Designated Communications Provider" which (amongst others) includes (S317C, item 6):

"the person develops, supplies or updates software used, for use, or likely to be used, in connection with:
(a) a listed carriage service; or
(b) an electronic service that has one
or more end-users in Australia"

and the "eligible activities" are:

(a) the development by the person of any such software; or
(b) the supply by the person of any such software; or
(c) the updating by the person of any such software"

This is just an extreme form of what is in fact common practice in the academic world. There are a lot of second and third rate publications that aren't completely horrible that happily accommodate a lot of mediocre articles peddled by mediocre professors on behalf of their mediocre graduate students. We don't all get to publish Nobel prize winning articles in Nature.

Universities are typically more concerned with their professor's abilities to raise funding than their academic integrity. If the numbers look good (money coming in, publications going out) they are not likely to complain or apply much scrutiny. Their assumption here is that peer review should be sufficient. As I was arguing it is not. So that is in fact the core problem. Universities don't care, reviewers don't care, journal editors don't care, publishers don't care. They all benefit from inflated numbers. The system does not work. Cornell is complicit here and part of the problem.

This way you can use the job description to emphasise what it was you achieved in those job and not mention what tech-stack you used. The skills there are just to let the employer or recruiter know in what context you have used certain technologies and how much experience you have in them.

IB is the easiest American one to get for Europeans. It's been around for a while and plenty of respectable finance people have been using it (for personal trading).

If you travel to the US most major ones should open an account for you too. But they ban foreign IPs sometimes and unlocking can be hassle.

The only major problem with the US I'm aware of is the death tax exemption for non-residents is only 60000$, so you don't wanna die or need to structure appropriately.
It's over. I may as well not be a programmer anymore.

The government has effectively made it possible that anyone and everyone who develops software or hardware used by anyone in the country, or where they feel national security comes into play, must compromise their software, and tell no one.

They can ask any intern to break the software, and not tell their employer.

It's bad enough to have a gaping hole in your security, but now they can ask people who have no idea what they're doing to create a backdoor.

All Australian software has now been rendered completely untrustworthy, and when those compromises in security are found, by the nation states who now know that Australian software will have holes in it, it will result in the very thing that this bill claims to prevent.

Our infrastructure has been opened up for attack, by any of our neighbours who have a reason to do so, whilst simultaneously gutting the economy of IT in Australia. Who wants to buy shitty backdoored Chinese software? It's the same now for Australia.

Australia's government has now opened the door for widescale cyberterrorism to have a chance at wreaking destruction.
