If there is one thing you could have learned from the post Snowden era it is that your paranoid hacker colleagues may (1) know more than you do and (2) tend to be right in the longer term about what you today consider to be ridiculous lunacy and (3) usually are still too mild in their delusions compared to reality.
Apparently it'd cost $4.7tn [1] to deploy enoug low-carbon tech worldwide to keep us within 2 degrees, and the top 1% collectively have $127tn [2], $26.5tn of which is hidden in offshore tax havens [3].

Presumably that $4.7tn estimate will now have to go up since it was from 2015, but still.

If billionaires were that bothered they would have addressed the problem by now. They're not coming to help us, they're building spaceships so they can leave.

And that's exactly the reason why people are total inconsiderate assholes if they claim alergies for something they just dislike. I look with disdain and revulsion at scuh idiots!

Imagine a busy restaurant, Saturday evening, 8:30 and you claim to be alergic to something. The kitchen must pull a five alarm drill in the middle of their busiest time. Make sure that all cutting boards are replaced, for example, everything must be cleaned thoroughly and they must be damn sure that there's no cross contamination whatsoever.

And all because an asshole lied and claimed to be allergic, while in reality she dislikes pineapple.

If you are really allergic to something please, please call ahead and talk with the restaurant, so that they can make appropriate preparations, without having to essentially lock down the kitchen for 15 minutes.

The worst is that people that claim allergies, or gluten intollerance without this being true hurt other people, who really cannot tollerate certain foods.

So your story makes total sense and the place really seems to care. But just imagine the same action in a full blown restaurant kitchen with a number of lines, which all need to be decontaminated during their busiest time.
It's not a backdoor. It's a front door, and clearly marked and prominently documented as such.
I'm also working under the assumption that the fine has some statutory basis and that might be limiting the regulator (perhaps negatively from their point of view, positively from my point of view).

China doesn't have to be the baseline. I'm trying to say that NBC News was dishonest in its use of the word "dangerous." Don't want to use China? What about Egypt? Or what about Russia? zero deaths, zero jailed, zero hostages. Think that Russia is a less dangerous place to do journalism than the United States?

I have my answer, but I could see you having a different answer based on how you view the populaces and governments and the US as well as the kind of journalism that you want to do. Thus, "dangerous" is a value judgment, compared to "deadly", which is the term the original report used.

> One problem not being addressed is that via #AABill data access requests can now be submitting without warrants issued by a judge, so it removes the judicial oversight.

TANs require a warrant (or rather, a TAN is unenforceable if it would require the agency to get a warrant -- but a TAN instead is a method to give force to a warrant). The restrictions on notices are in s317ZH (which is a while after the definitions of the notices so people might be forgiven for misunderstanding the limitations).

> And companies like FastMail cannot report abuse publicly, or the people responsible risk 10 years in jail.

5 years in gaol is the limit. There are also processes for them to provide statistical information about how many notices they've received, as well as provisions for courts and the Commonwealth Ombudsman to make public notice information.

> Couple this with the fact that Australia is part of the "Five Eyes", being the only country without a "Bill of Rights", it means that agencies like the NSA could use Australia for their dirty work.

This is definitely true, and GCHQ has already started requesting similar powers in the UK (not that they need to, since they can just use the Australian powers). There are several provisions in the act which specify that it can be used for investigations into "serious foreign crimes".

Thanks for the feedback! This is certainly a concern and one that I've tried to avoid by focusing on receiving (forwarded) email and not sending for the following reasons:

* Easier setup - nothing to configure and you can keep using your existing email setup. Using email clients can be very difficult for some people, especially older folks, so I don't want to make their lives harder by forcing them to learn something new.

* Less maintenance/upkeep - not having to worry about storing/sending/retrying means that users have a better UX.

I'd love to easily integrate sending from the custom email, and I may add it in the future for the power users, but I think the cost/benefit of it right now just isn't worth it so I'll keep things Simple©.
C# dotnetcore vs. Go Benchmark discussion
That is nice, though at $999, expectations would be pretty high.
Well reasoned; and perhaps we should mobilize the U.S. Army to protect the concepts and themes central to the next Lil' Wayne single.
The international framework is that each country can authorise satellites by companies based there, this is regulated by the ITU. In the US, the FCC is the relevant regulator, other countries have their own regulators. In the UK it is Ofcom which unlike the FCC does not charge fees but it does require third party liability insurance which the FCC does not.

If Swarm had been based in India, it would have needed to seek authorisation there. Swarm requested FCC authorisation which was denied on the basis of collision safety.

They then received permission to launch a set of larger satellites with better radar visibility. Imagine the surprise of the FCC when they discovered that Swarm had lied to their launch provider (claiming that they had authorisation) and launched the original satellites anyway!

In the past this has never been an issue because satellites were so expensive that no-one in their right mind would try to launch one without authorisation. As a result, launch providers may not have been rigorous in actually checking the authorisations for their secondary payloads.

The whole model is still rooted in a world where only a few countries could launch satellites and only a small number of very large companies within them could afford to build and launch them. Within a cosy world like that, regulatory compliance is important but it is also assumed that everyone else is complying and actually checking that is rare. Certainly this case is going to change that.
I wonder whether dysfunctions of these time-encoding networks could be implicated in psychiatric disorders. For example, a form of depression from rewards always seeming too far away to read as worthwhile, or anxiety from threats always seeming too close to respond to in a deliberate way.
The abstract describes a system for achieving shoddy Proportional Representation through bipartisan (or multi-partisan) gerrymandering. If you want Proportional Representation, then just do that and don't try to gerrymander districts to achieve it. I think this country is too stuck on the notion of districts and needs to think outside the box and paint outside the lines (nyuks intended). I think we keep describing what we want as some sort of identity/ideology based representation and those things are now much more important to us than geography and _where_ a person lives. So we should have at-large PR or large multi-member districts (8 or more reps per district).

The Google Talk people literally never tried to implement any of it as far as anyone could see publicly (eg. stream management, compression, client state indication, etc.). I'm not sure if it was a problem with discoverability, or if they just didn't want to, but their feedback was always that things they needed didn't exist, and then stony silence when someone would point out the thing they needed.

We do have an international framework, of sorts. It's that each country must regulate satellites launched by their companies. A US-based company must comply with US laws regarding satellite launches and get permission to launch them.

In this case, Swarm lied to the Indian government and said the US had approved it (which made sense as they are a US-based company), while trying to hide the existence of the satellites from the US Government. Frankly, I think a $900k fine is too small.

OUC exists for the benefit the City of Orlando's residents. Stanton was built where it was built to externalize it's pollution keeping utility rates for its citizen customers low and avoiding property value impacts to the city. It was deemed acceptable to externalize the impact on the unincorporated community of Bithlo. Since Stanton was built, the area within city limits around the old OUC Ivanhoe Plant has significantly gentrified.

Orange County began promoting development in the area in the 1980's. It widened Lake Underhill Road and extended Alafaya Trail south of SR50 toward FL528 (the Bee Line). Stanton was part of the development plan because OUC/Orlando chipped in on the infrastructure costs.

The lawsuit's 30,000 potentially affected people are not among OUC's 200k power customers. They live outside Orlando's city limits in Orange County. Their power is at market rate from Duke Energy. All those people live out near Stanton by design. The first of those developments, Huckleberry, was affordable and convenient because the road network was planned for further development, e.g. the 408.

Coal firing Stanton was always a bit of boondoggle. Orlando is a long way from any mineable coal face. People knew its location would exhaust into both of Florida's major water sheds. The site sits in the south end of the St. John's watershed and just north of the Florida Everglades headwaters in Deseret Ranch south of the Bee Line.

>Could argue that mass shootings feel systemic in the US, but not mass shootings targeting journalists.

I would argue that mass shootings in the US are a very good reason not to raise any kids here or send them to school here, considering many of those shootings were in schools, and many schoolchildren (or college students) have died in those shootings. In fact, I'd say students are the one group that should be most worried about mass shootings, just judging by evidence.
In all fairness to Matrix, this tends to be XMPP and IRCs biggest fault too. Although I tend to think the protocol needs to be developed by an independent standards body that really only focuses on that (which is the problem with Matrix, it can't go anywhere because it's fettered by a commercial entity that doesn't actually know much about protocol development). IRC and XMPP on the other hand have a standards body, but need to stop advertising them as if only the public network is usable: they need companies on board building their own services that use them (and possibly federate, or possibly allow third party clients).

I'm perfectly comfortable with saying "unscramble" when talking about using a rainbow table to figure out the corresponding password for a MD5 hash.

If I'm writing docs for MD5, that's one thing. General tech reporting? "Unscramble" is understandable to someone who's never had to implement a password hash, which is most of the populace.
> Isn't this, "No need to force us to install a backdoor, we've already got one!"

Fundamentally there is no need for a backdoor for emails. The entire protocol results in plaintext being received on the server, and so there is no need to add a backdoor. Email isn't end-to-end encrypted -- you've always had to use PGP if you wanted that.

Lavabit had the same problem when the US sent and NSL that asked for the TLS keys of his server to decrypt the email traffic that Snowden had sent.

I understand where you’re coming from, but I’m not sure I agree that we can’t have it both ways. A book club can play just as much of a role in public life as the next club.

We absolutely should be able to have it both ways, to choose whether or not we wish to list our book club members on the front door. This should be our choice. Maybe one week we wish to list attendees and another week choose not to list, why can’t we have it both ways? Why is it some random stranger’s business who attends my gatherings or what happens at my gatherings? Whether it’s a book club or a group of classmates drinking in my living room, why would random people feel like they’re entitled to invade my private space and dictate what I can and cannot do?

I understand the very real concerns with power concentrating in the hands of a few, but I’m not sure attacking our ability to have private gatherings is the appropriate way to address power concentration. This type of attack is also very concerning when we consider how much off-base speculation, wild paranoia and hysteria tends to come along once people start speculating what’s happening behind my book club’s closed doors.
