Goatse Security actually, but yeah. Him and people from GNAA called it a security firm. Sort of grey hat trolling for hire? I guess it could be considered the template for what got us Cambridge Analytica, Brexit, and Trump. I'm not sure if it's up anymore, but the GNAA public code repo used to be just full of interesting software solutions for mass griefing people.

Here[0] is a DEFCON talk from a GNAA/lulsec affiliate talking about trolling as an art. I think the talk actually has some interesting things going on when looked at through the lens of what weaponized trolling has produced in the now. At one point someone in the audience asks the presenter to read his "funny" slides and it's a racist "joke" comic. He acts embarrassed and says "I don't believe this stuff." He does break down a few of their trolling tools from their repo that they were pretty proud of at the time. So the curious can scope that out if you don't have to browse to any of their official sites or do a risky google. This was before Facebook so it's mostly IRC tools and general troll culture commentary.

They used the ATT dump, knowing it wasn’t really illegal to get hype to sell their services. I think it worked?

A big, big plus to that! That's the major lesson I had to learn these past two years. Smart people can achieve clever things. Smart people who also care about the people around them can achieve great things.
Well, some thoughts:

1) Kids from poor / lower-working class families - compared to their peers "higher up" in the socioeconomic chain - simply do not know the importance of a good school. Further, they do not even know the jobs that will follow, or even require such an education.

Even regular college is a long-shot for many, and to them, college == college.

If you're a upper-middle class kid, with parents working as bankers and consultants, then I can promise you that they'll push you to aim high (academically). Hell, they'll probably plan your (academic) life long before you can walk or talk.

In fact, having educated parents seems to play an important role on the chances of your success. If you're poor, chances are that your parents don't even have a HS diploma.

2) Getting into a prestigious school isn't just about getting good grades - you need to show skills and drive far outside that scope. Lots of poor kids can not afford that luxury, like volunteering, getting GOOD at extracurricular activities (sports, instruments, etc.), etc. Some families _depend_ on their kids working after school.

When I grew up, I thought bankers where the people/tellers you actually saw behind the counter. I had never heard of consultant. Silicon Valley SW devs? Had no idea.

None of my parents went to college - they worked menial factory jobs, and we lived out in rural nowhere. 10% of my HS class went to college, and in that case, a no-name rural state college. No big companies _ever_ came to career fairs, so we had zero exposure to them.

If by chance you were exposed to the world of Silicon Valley tech, New York banking, etc., you were told it was too late - that train had left the station before you even enrolled college.

For many of us, the absolute pinnacle of (professional) life was to become a local gov. worker, engineer at the local utility company, a store owner, farmer, or similar. Maybe a doctor if you were deemed very, very smart.

So even if you see some success stories here and there, they are so incredibly rare. Show me one poor (minority or not) kid on scholarship at HYPS, and I'll show you hundred others going absolutely nowhere.
Lennart, thanks for the information. Mind explaining why you chose to kill user processes on logout as the default?
First of all, as mentioned above, we made this compile-time as well as runtime-configurable, so that downstream distros can choose whether they want to make this opt-in or opt-out. Hence blame your distros if you picked it in a way you didn't like.

Moreover, this doesn't affect cron at all. Cron creates its own PAM session for each job it runs which means those jobs are independent from any real login session (i.e. ssh, graphical, tty login), and thus also don't get cleaned up by them.

This affected stuff that is forked off a login session and then stays around as "orphan" if you so will, i.e. with all session resources released, except for these processes that try hard to avoid clean-up (usually by double forking + detaching explicitly from any TTY/ignoring SIGHUP).

So, I believe you can ‘return’ the warranty portion of your purchase a few days after the initial purchase.

One technique was to speak w a manager prior to purchase, and make a deal where the manager, who would discount add-on accessories for the major purchase if you were willing to buy the PSP.

The customer would come back a day later and demand a full refund for the PSP, while keeping their add-on discount.

This did not happen often, though.

I wonder why Linux is not becoming more widespread in such places. Something like Xubuntu runs well on mediocre hardware and is completely free. Compared to such an old Windows like XP it also wins in terms of usability and software availability, not to mention security.

My guess is that it's simply a lack of awareness that this FOSS ecosystem exists.

You make plenty of assumptions there, in particular that there was no communication about the session killing thing. Turns however there was. We informed downstreams about our intention and the reasons in detail, and we documented this for everybody else in NEWS. We also made sure there was an easy compile-time option to pick the default for this option, and then left the rest for the downstreams to decide: whether to default to on or off to this, taking in the information we got from us and from the rest of the community. If you think they made the wrong decision, then complain to them really. But seriously, you really just assume we wouldn't talk to anyone, without actually having any idea what it communication is really taking place.

Not related to face time but once I sent a two part SMS to my mother (over 140 characters and all that). Her reply made no sense, she was talking about stuff I have not said in my text at all. After much of confused back and forth, I have found out that she received the first part of my SMS correctly, but the second part was taken from some completely random message that probably somebody else sent. I suppose that in some other part of the world there were another two confused people who got the texts mixed the other way round.
Styled components, CSS-in-JS and CSS modules largely solve the same problem. I think it's just a matter of preference.

"I would prefer not to" is a magical phrase that will work wonders in all kinds of situations. It can be adapted with minimal effort too.

Why? I use it all the time and in terms of simplicity it beats all other video calling products.

Hm..not really. For Terminal CSS I decided to @font-face Fira Code for precisely that reason. Font rendering is a never-ending story when it comes to web design. Not only that browsers render fonts differently, but the operating system also influences it. Font rendering on Windows looks terrible IMO compared to Mac or Linux. So "no" I don't have a solution to that problem. My personal view is that a system font stack is an excellent choice regarding UX. As a user, I expect a certain kind of user experience from my device/OS and a website that respects that tends to offer a better experience than others. To conclude: I should remove Fira Code in favor of a system stack :)

[EDIT] Github is a great example. Uses a system font stack and looks great on all devices and operating systems:

"-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,Segoe UI,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif,Apple Color Emoji,Segoe UI Emoji,Segoe UI Symbol;"
And littering is also a misdemeanor which in some jurisdictions have a higher penalty than illegal border crossing, according to http://www.ncsl.org/research/environment-and-natural-resourc... .

My argument is that it's meaningless to describe all cases of illegal border crossing as a "very serious crime", because then there's no way to distinguish between the very serious crime of littering and the very serious crime of murder.

Bear in mind that the term "petty theft" contains the word "petty", which means it's "less important, serious, or great than other" types of theft, quoting https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/petty . The listed synonyms for petty are "minor, lower, junior, secondary".

You are of course free to use "very serious crime" to apply to any crime, but that is not common usage.

I believe most people, most of the time, would limit the term "very serious crimes" to describe felonies.

For example, quoting https://criminal.findlaw.com/criminal-law-basics/classificat...

> Crimes receive different classifications according to their severity. The mildest crimes are known as infractions, more serious crimes are known as misdemeanors, and the most serious crimes are known as felonies.

This would suggest that "serious crimes" might include misdemeanors and felonies, but "very serious crime" should be limited to felonies.

Or from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seriousness#Measuring_degree_o...

> A felony is generally considered to be a crime of "high seriousness", while a misdemeanor is not.

I am hammering the point because I believe that describing all illegal entries as a "very serious crime" muddies the water, likely deliberately so. Why describe it using terms more appropriate for murderers than litterers?
Humans can only focus on a single thing at a time. As your focus goes through any content, it necessarily follows a 1D path. HTML, eint Text, is also one-dimensional.

CSS, as said before, transfers this 1D information into the 2D representation on a scree, or a printout. Or it leaves it allone, or rearranges the 1D stream, for a different 1D representation to a screen reader.

This has nothing to do with being a “historical artifact”. It’s a fundamental idea of communication theory. But maybe it helps you to see its value if I just mention that thinking a bit about such theory will make it far easier to you to create designs on the vastly different devices, from smart watches to Times Square screens connected too the internet now.

It just teaches you to fill up your html with a lot of useless classes while teaching you nothing about css, unless you want to change how it looks, in which case you have to basically rewrite everything.

Also, I can never get over the fact, that the bootstrap devs seem incapable of delivering UI elements like dropdowns without additional javascript or can't even include a no-js fallback. That doesn't really create confidence in their abilities as web developers.
Office suite is the biggest obstacle, all documents are in .doc or .docx, for both governments and businesses. Oh and the occasional breakage of Linux on desktop really hurts too. In early 2010 I volunteered to migrate IT system of a rural school to Ubuntu, it took us the whole morning to fix the KMS bug with Intel card, couldn't get resolution better than 640x480, before that 8.04 was famous with pulseaudio, 9.04 was IME's memory leak etc... yeah I know it's the driver's fault, not Linux, but it still hurts nonetheless.
if I google my name on github I can find code that was stolen from my time working at one of the major NEV's (not Huawei/ZTE) by our colleagues working at the Chinese site. The guy stealing it literally uploaded it all to his github repo including my original copyright stanza just after he moved to a Chinese state backed company.

frankly, speaking Chinese makes you an expert about this as much as is speaking English makes you an expert about Google.
This isn't true, if Foxconn cared that much about forced tech transfers, democratic values and international norms, it would have stayed in Taiwan.

This is rather about rising labour costs and environmental regulations. Arguably 1988 China when Foxconn entered was way worse in terms of censorship, tech transfers and nationalistic boycotts. 1989 Tiananmen happened the year after. Foxconn staying for 20 years in China is about the low labour costs.

Chinese manufacturing has long been documented with moving out of China since the early 2010s and into other countries like Vietnam and even Africa because of the costs. The real killer nowadays is that China is starting to enforce more stricter environmental regulations and companies are moving out to areas that allow leniency to pollute.

I owe a Dell XPS 13 with 4k display running Linux. Fonts are clearly much more sharper (maybe even feel darker) and pleasant to read than 1080p or even 2k . Although, I see you point. For most practical purposes it does not make difference I think, but I really love 4k when I'm programming. These days I'm not programming much, hence switched to 1080p as little experiment (and got fed up with sloppy GNOME performance), and I would say I don't notice much for general tasks.

Theoretically this would appear to be true.

In practice, the firms that give 1-pagers don't really try to pull a bait and switch like that. They offer the 1-pager so they can close quickly, not so they can get quickly into the no shop to drive onerous terms. Could a firm consciously adopt that strategy? Sure, but it wouldn't last very long because people talk to each other.

Also, even the 1-pager goes into detail on liquidation preference, veto rights, board composition, drag-along and founder vesting. These are the items that get negotiated a lot or are otherwise really important to know before signing up.

As mentioned elsewhere, this exercise was descriptive, not prescriptive. Some of the founder friendliest investors use term sheets that look similar to this. Some of the unfriendliest investors still send 10 page term sheets.
I'm not sure about the TV across the room, but I certainly see the pixels on a 2k 23" monitor. I'm using two now and every second I'm itching to get back to my Macbook's Retina display. Everything else about these monitors is fine... except pixel density.

In Windows this is better (for me) because I personally like the subpixel rendering there - it's aligned to pixel boundaries more often and looks clearer to my eyes.
