I just downloaded/updated it for macOS and then set up a fresh Debian Stretch VM on it. Wow, you weren't kidding, it's still a hideous UI and it looks like they haven't even tried to make it look anything like a native app.
Not by itself it doesn’t answer that. Why 3 years ago rather than 1 year or “this is stupid, why give Spotify access to all PMs on our system just so a user can send and view PMs within the third party app?

That's you though.... In many countries, Facebook is the 'free' internet citizens can interact with friends on. It can be used to leverage and ruin your social cred because of how intertwined and unchecked Facebook is in places like Myanmar.

How often are you under major time pressure? If it's more than a handful of times a year I would focus on fixing that rather than patching over it with bullshit machines that produce inferior product and a mountain of pollution.
How do you have employees in Syria? It’s a violation of federal sanctions.

Indistinguishable is a mighty strong word. We haven't completely mastered digital audio and to think we have is foolish (I do DSP for digital audio for a living, I'm Chris from Airwindows)

You explicitly need to install them and accept the license
I don't understand what's wrong with this comment, but OP is right.

We have seen cases where domain registries or hosting providers suspend accounts for violating their ToS, which is totally legal.
Since this is Oracle, I'm most interested to hear if there have been any changes in the license.

Banking-Grade Credential Stuffing: The Futility of Partial Password Validation
I think he's talking about overland travel, in which case extending trips would certainly be a common occurrence.
Reading this post, it simply misleads about how deep things happened: they want to say that apps had access only when logged in, carefully phasing around the fact that the apps had offline access too. Also, "they pinky promised to limit their functionality", not "we had controls in place so any of their data reads and writes was clearly trackable and labeled as such, and they couldn't download everything".

Basically their defense is: You trusted FB with data, dumb fucks.
If you have an app installed in your phone, it might sync without your knowledge.
I'm not familiar with Zulipchat specifically but unless you're running a community with thousands of concurrent users then you could easily host most self-hostable chat platforms on a low powered devices (eg Raspberry Pi) on a home broadband internet connection.

Obviously this is a less than ideal solution, but my point is you're not reliant on AWS / OVH / Digital Ocean / whoever you choose for hosting.

They know the edge cases and gotchas on that version by now but until they test the ZoL version on wide variety of FreeBSD deployments, it could mean they're back to labelling it a beta version at this point.
If I would be asked to develop technology for this I would buy an Iron Beam [1] system and call it a day.

Iron Beam is basically a laser weapon for destroying short range rockets with 4-second laser bursts. It would make short work of any drones and I can skip the research and development skip.

It was a proposition of the pirate party that RMS supported: make copyright duration 5 years long. Grant longer copyright terms to people who choose to add freedoms to it: free to copy, free to modify, free for commercial use would each add 5 years.
Just a note that we have asked the European Commission to investigate Elsevier for abuse of a dominant market position: https://zenodo.org/record/1472045, and also now Education International (32 million members, 400 member organisations) are taking the fight to them through academic unions. https://bit.ly/2PPjwRK

The internet is not a place. It only functions to connect people and places which exist in physical locations that are bound by national and regional laws, and the transfer of data between locations is subject to these rules.
Audio Based Password Attack Using Neural Networks
I love when people just assume that everyone in the world just live in the US. Hackernews users are international and he uses Slack.
As an outsider, I am really surprised by how deep-rooted America's hostility is towards Iran. Shi'ite Iran certainly has human rights issues, but as far as terrorism is concerned the majority of them are orchestrated by Sunni groups. 9/11 hijackers, Al Queda, Islamic State, Paris attackers - are all Sunni.
Blogspot does not like it when you disable Javascript.
So you're assuming it's due to ethnic prejudice, based on nothing but the ethnicity of Slack's CEO?

It's a crowdfunded game. Here's a walkthrough [0]. It's absolutely amazing. Watching it, I was on the edge of my seat for 20 minutes. The walkthrough's gameplay is a nightime rally chase in the country. The driver is good, by the way. To those who won't watch it through and through, at the very end, he goes to the hydroplant and turns on the roadside lights. The visuals are like nothing I've seen.

I'm not an easily excitable person, and I don't usually throw hyporboles around, but, in my eyes, this is something very unique.

Presumably the employer isn't based in the US? (Sorry, but that seems the obvious answer to your question.)
Also there are a lot of franchises where, arguably, fans do a much better job than heirs.

I am bitter that Zelazny's heirs killed Amber RPG, one of the best of the time.

A lot has to be said on Dune and LOTR heirs as well. And don't get me started on Tintin, currently managed by the surviving second husband of Hergé's wife...
Sure, so your option is "uninstall app" or "never visit country/region I've always wanted to".

Tough choice.

I'm not defending slack or practices like it (hell, I have a blank phone I use whenever I leave the country) but it's not quite the choice you're making it out to be.

If you visit Iran it will impact your ability to visit certain countries without a visa, like the UK.

Also, from what I've gathered, visiting Israel may impact your ability to visit Iran.
You might not need ultrasound though, eg https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-02391-6.

I can't find the link now, on mobile, but I found reference to using low frequency sound/light and that (anecdotally) individuals had tried this with their Alzheimer suffering relatives and had great success, like miraculous recovery of memory.

I wonder if there is a natural occupational exposure (CRT TV?) that could give evidence here, like if fewer people long-term exposed to low frequency sound/light get Alz?

1. The topic on this thread is copyright, not bilibili or YouTube per se.

2. You brought up YouTube yourself.

I agree with the rest of your statements. YouTube is better than other websites in protecting copyright.
I use VirtualBox in combination with gitlab-runner[0] to run macOS guests for ArchMac[1] CI package building, which works great. I also use it with docker-machine instead of Docker for Mac, for performance reasons.

For actually using a virtualised desktop I favour VMware Fusion which I found is the best between features, performance, and reliability (Comparison also includes Parallels which I'm not a fan of)

You make a good point, but not a good recommendation. This is a Mac OS virtualization app, and your options are Linux only. Its an oversight, at best. I get that Apples messed up their evosystem, but that’s not this conversation.
Many treatments of severe conditions do substantial harm, which is considered acceptable for the benefits.

Extreme examples are chemotherapy, i.e. giving poison to cancer patients, and radiotherapy, i.e. irradiating them. The healthy cells can take it, the cancer cells not so much. Statistically.
This used to be part of holo-build [1], but I figured this might also be useful for other programs, so I pulled it out into a library.

Great, I can see lots of potential.
My wife’s Slack account was closed yesterday.

She created the account while traveling in Cuba (legally) years ago and hasn’t been back to Cuba or any other sanctioned country since.

She is a cofounder of an org that uses Slack heavily and has now lost access to all her messages and files from the past couple years of work.

There appears to be no appeal process here.
Absolutely, and I agree with you. They are also not the only company in the market with enough fund to consolidate (for example, TikTok with musical.ly). But, and that's my opinion, they can probably buy enough company to still secure their position.

It's also probably true that social network is also a more "volatile" market (as in, you see user switch from one SN to the other more easily).
Netflix OSS and Spring Boot – Coming Full Circle
I tried VirtualBox first. It was insanely slow

Colleague of mine has Windows running on VMWare on OSX and it's not much better. Also, but this might be because of the keyboard/OS/VMWare settings he uses, but when my muscle memory gets to work and starts using basic key combinations it feels like half of the time they are intercepted by OSX and do funny things, opening apps I don't want or switching desktops or whatever etc. No joy. All in all, of all non-commandline development experiences I ever encountered it's probably the worst. Parallels on the other hand was indeed more 'just works, get shit done'.

Yes why?

For these industry-disruptor things you need some degree of support from the industry you're disrupting (i.e. you need to sell to utility companies that have strong business relationships with the large generation technology providers in the space). In practice this means raising money from, or partnering with, the right people that can leverage industry connections.

It is easier to get the right investors and partners if you are not controlled by Alphabet, because investors and partners have more assurances of the governance leverage they get for their money/effort. If you are Sergey's pet project, you are very vulnerable to mood swings on his (or Google's) behalf.
It depends entirely on the employer. Some places will require a doctors note if you miss more than two shifts. So in places like that, people typically go to work sick, and just spread the disease. This includes most fast food restaurants so think about the implications of that.
Are Americans Paying Too Much for Healthcare? It Depends
Cargo (in the nightly channel, but eventually will become stable) and npm can both use alternative package indexes and vendored dependencies, so they are not tightly coupled. Having a standardized package index as a database is what allows efficient dependency solving, which Go hasn't considered providing up until recently.

> that anyone should be able to publish their code on any server, in contrast to central registries such as Perl’s CPAN, Java’s Maven, or Node’s NPM. Placing domain names at the start of the go get import space reused an existing decentralized system and avoided needing to solve anew the problems of deciding who can use which names. It also allowed companies to import code on private servers alongside code from public servers.

lol statements like this are infuriating. Go is no more decentralized than those languages, unless you consider git hosting something people in standard practice do on their own (survey some of the top Go dependencies and see if that holds true). They simply lack a package index, but the cited language package managers both have those and allow you to host your own.
At least in amateur radio, antennas too close can damage a radio if they're on the same band. I've heard the F-18's radar can kill animals.

AFAIK, most drones use 2.4Ghz radios, or just pure wifi.
$26M from Alphabet for a power storage company is not "smart money", it's just a pile of cash. See my other comment sibling to yours.
I'm just warning people that might not think of that.

Baker: Framework to orchestrate (micro)service-based process flows
Most Americans have as their only understanding a picture of Iran in their minds of the overthrow of the shah and IEDs in the past 14 years of war. Very few Americans would even understand that Iran isn't like the rest of the ME and has a very different history.

Americans in general aren't well educated about the ME and the ethnic and religious differences there -- even the past 17 years of war there haven't tipped the education system to give them better knowledge about it.
This might surprise you but neither of these 2 are bugs.

VirtualBox shared folders simply don't offer the guarantees of a local filesystem. They are not a local filesystem, they are network drives mounted as NFS, with the abysmal support and quirk that comes with that.

sendfile() doesn't work on network drives. it never did.
the host is not aware of changes made to the remote filesystem from another host. it cannot see updated files unless it checks for remote changes.
Fuzzing is great and undefined behavior is terrible, so I mostly agree with you. But negligence is a high bar, so let me add at least a small counterpoint:

These big, old systems are full of crashes. Many of them have been triggered and investigated before, and determined not to be a security vulnerability, and so left as they are. If you fuzz these systems, you might find a lot more false positives than real exploitable vulnerabilities. It might be even worse than that, with the false positives being so many that they get in the way of the fuzzer actually discovering new issues.

If these were newer projects, it might make sense to really clean the codebase up and fix every crash. That would make debugging tools more useful, and it would avoid future cases where some compiler update turns your "harmless" crash into an exploit. But in these legacy projects, that sort of cleanup would be very expensive, and many of the devs with the expertise to do a proper job of it have long since moved on. It really might not make economic sense to invest that much in cleanup, even if Microsoft has fully internalized the cost of vulnerabilities to their users.
As far as I remember Slack does not ask/hold any information about your nationality. I wonder if he created his account when he was visiting one of the listed countries and for some reason, Slack is just using that information to block accounts.
They're not garbage malware distributors anymore.
(I was wrong)
If Slack has a presence in France, they can be sued for this. And I think in any country with anti-discrimination laws which I thought included many US states?
Or use open source alternatives instead.

Hell, you're not going to get a credible replication of the sound of a trumpet off a CD… not compared to real life. Trumpets are among the few sorts of instruments that produce an overtone sequence going WAY beyond human hearing. It might not take that much more to cover those bases (I personally think 24/96 is more than enough and as such ought to be considered the baseline) and the heavy lifting will definitely be done by the amplification and speakers, but even a compact disc is going to fall short, much less a synthesizer.

Ask HN: What online tool do you use for data cleaning?
Been looking for an online tool that's easy to use for tabular data cleaning such as date parsing and formatting, column split, etc. Couldn't find anything so I created Data Janitor (https://www.csvjson.com/datajanitor) to scratch my own itch.

Wondering what people out there use. I prefer an online tool - don't want to install anything. Also a point tool - don't want to have to sign up.
They ruined OpenOffice and Hudson. Luckily those were hard forked by the communities.
That sounds like it would partition my messages, which is not what I want in a 3rd party messenger client.
I for one applaud that. Strongswan and OpenVPN both have so much legacy cruft it's hard to make sure the VPN is secure - that the OSs implementation isn't incredibly out-of-date and I haven't made grave configuration mistakes, not even talking about how much harder Strongswan is to configure compared to Wireguard.

VirtualBox is a cross-platform app. The user interface looks like Java to me.
The appeal process is filing a lawsuit against Slack, provided the person wronged didn’t already agree to give up that right when accepting Slack’s TOS.
The Mellow Heuristic
He said having been to Iran and maybe having used app a few months ago might have triggered it.
The worst thing about the abstract is that it looks like it was cut-and-pasted with no attention to formatting (which maybe it was: does ResearchGate just generate it automatically?). The reference to "all 2n binary strings of length n" is disconcerting until one realises what happened.
Please read news articles with a healthy dose of skepticism regarding fact checking. It should be assumed that most news reporters do very little if any fact checking, paraphrase or make up quotes, take things out of context, and are pushing a point of view that fits a current meme or will increase clicks. Then the editor adds a headline that compounds the problem. Things have only gotten worse with the internet with competition and time pressure. If you doubt me, wait until you are in a news event that is covered and compare the news report with what actually happened.
No, VirtualBox is Windows, Linux, MacOS
Time to make the suggestion to either actually use QUIC or simulate QUIC?
This kind of thing can kill Slack or other networks because if you have a team of 100 people and just one can't use the platform, you'll switch. The network effect seems likely to work in reverse in this case.

Beyond that I find it outrageously unethical.
Culture and sciences have survived and flourished for centuries by doing the exact opposite.

Imagine Einstein or the organization he worked for copywriting and then charging money for every single use.

Money is only one aspect of copyright. Not able to work freely is the real problem which actually kills the culture. Nothing flourished under fear of getting sued.
So differentiate between copyright periods for personal use and commercial use.

Many countries used to have strong explicit exemptions for personal use, but even just making it shorter in time for personal use would make a huge difference.
Is there a way to get Wireguard on Android 4.4?
In Boston I recently had to wait in an emergency room for 5 hours with multiple broken bones. This was at one of the best rated hospitals in the country.

I recently moved to a new state and I’m trying to get set up with a new primary care provider. I’ve been trying to get an appointment for six months, but they keep bumping my appointment back. Did I mention that I had to settle for a nurse because none of the doctors in my area are accepting new patients?

Totally agree about going to the self-hostable path. I would add as an alternative, looking for non-US products, maybe from neutral countries.

If I were in charge of an organization that used Slack for communication, I would immediately search for and start using an alternative service which would be hosted on premises.
Hmm, there used to be an "ose" edition which lacked some usb patch through stuff I believe, it's not related to that? Haven't seen that in a while but it used to be 2 separate downloads...

So it's not any of that stuff you can select on the "Custom Setup" screen then...
I think the use case is closer to Spotify acting as an alternative client to the messenger backend, much like Adium is an alternative client for Google Chat. Which in this case you have to trust the client. It feels grosser because Spotify isn’t just a desktop application, they could in theory have stored and mined your chats.
They do, but Windows updates are much more opaque (IME). Seeing microcode being updated brought home how small the distance between hardware/firmware and software, which was OP's point.
