Don't Ask Don't Tell sends out entirely the wrong signal to would-be editors. What it tells people is that Wikipedia - something whose sole purpose is to catalogue the world's knowledge - is an intolerant place that prioritises internal cohesion over diversity, fairness, and decency.

It was bad enough when the US military applied the policy to LGBT people. To say that Wikipedia (something that people do entirely in their free time and unpaid) should do the same for women is ludicrous.
This was my first thought as well, think there are 2 possibilities:

1. The Mueller report presents uncomfortable yet legal, coordination with WikiLeaks, in which case extraditing and prosecuting Assange would allow administration to distance itself and present any coordination as incidental.

2. Assange releases were cited in FISA requests. If intelligence agencies had an established assessment on Assange's ties to Russia, and requests were authorized with elements contradicting those assessments, it could raise eyebrows. It seems firmly establishing presence or lack of Russian backing, along with sources would bring clarity to several matters.

Wow, so someone thinks XSS matters anymore. How quaint. I, too, remember 2008. Meanwhile, in the current year, we have the Chrome Web Store where thinly veiled de facto UXSS data harvesting plugins pretending to be innocent useful tools are installed by tens of millions of gullible people for whom these insidious hacking vectors are normalized, and no one cares even after their passwords and credit cards have been sent to a C&C server in Tel Aviv.
The interesting part it's cheaper than AWS Glacier ($4 per TB per month) and slightly more expansive than AWS Glacier Deep Archive ($0.99 per TB per month) but the data is available immediately and not in hours like glacier where you have to pay a hefty premium for faster access to the data.

Page 10 shows the 3 generations of OpenSSD they've been developing. They're on the 3rd gen now (marked 2016), which is FPGA based, says it support a subset of NVMe, and mentions a 2TB max capacity.

Might be interesting to actually do stuff with. :)
Is this good or bad? Maybe because (assumption here) there are more "relevant" males throughout history?
you'll still need to file!
The scenario was that he would get extradited to Sweden, the case finds him not guilty, and then get extradited to the US. Assange tried to get the Swedish government to openly declare that this would not occur, and the Government replied that they could not make such statement. The argument generally comes that once existing legal proceeding are done, the agreement between Sweden and the US allow for extradition.

This exact same chain of events will now likely happen with the UK case. Once the case of the bail jump is finished and eventual punishment served, he will be shipped to the US.

Right, but if they gun you down, there's not much that's likely to happen. They might have to get a job in a different city.

*Edit: Also, not every city has stand your ground laws. And there's nothing stopping them from shooting back and killing you. They're expecting a fight anyway. The lawyer might get a settlement for your family, but you'll still be dead. And your dog too; they love shooting dogs.
I'm not sure, but it's worth noting that we will all be exposed to much higher levels than anyone dealt with in the past. It's possible we just haven't had enough non-ionizing radiation to notice it, but a lifetime of exposure to 5G could cause heretofore unknown problems.

Yes the Government is doing something. Someone I knows spouse is a federal prosecutor. She works more like a data scientist than a lawyer. Not sure how they get cases but they claim it becomes pretty obvious once you start understanding Medicare codes.

To put on a different hat for this: when I went to do my Master's thesis, I actually did not have a hypothesis nor did I have expected results. Maybe it was unique for us, but we actually did not know what to expect for the outcome of the research, that was the whole point of it.

We had procedures so that when we came up with a result, it could be validated and we made sure we didn't do anything that could have tainted the research.

To be clear, I do not object to the 'verdict', but I do not think it helps to suggest that all the issues raised by these crashes can be dealt with just by giving each sensor one or two somewhat arbitrary thresholds beyond which they should be ignored. While I cannot think of any reason not to have adopted the proposed solution within MCAS, and it would have prevented the Ethiopian Airlines crash, it would not have eliminated the possibility in other circumstances (possibly including Lion Air), on account of the other problems with MCAS. If, in these cases, the sensors had failed to a plausible value (say, 15 degrees), the outcome would have been the same.

I can hold all my assets in one place, which includes holding an ERC20 token that follows the S&P500. I'm essentially holding an ETF outside of a brokerage. I've also been loaning some DAI, ETH and other ERC20's through uniswap, and I hold a bit of BTC through WBTC which is a wrapped ERC20 token that follows Bitcoins price. I do all of this with one asset, ETH. I expect to eventually hold tokenized real estate as well.

There's also a flight insurance app that I've used once. If your flight is delayed, then the contract automatically pays out.

And when I'm bored, I have a bunch of FUN tokens that I picked up for free when it first launched, so I use those to play casino games once in a while. I also loan these tokens out on uniswap.

I'm also involved in MakerDAO governance since I hold some MKR as well as DAOstack which is an infrastructure layer for DAOs.

Last but not least, I use Brave browser and get BAT tokens for browsing. That's mostly everything right now, other than experimenting with other dapps.

Youtube.tv Price Increase and GE
Venting

I signed up for YouTube.TV less than a month ago. I selected them because it was a lean package that offered sports and live TV at a good price.

Yesterday was announced a 25% price increase. The increase was justified by adding unwanted stations.

The situation is similar to one I had with GE about 15 years ago. At a time when GE Leasing was trying to get me to lease business equipment from them, a GE insurance subsidiary was stonewalling me on a personal car insurance claim. There were viable competitors so I didn't do business with GE.

Now the cloud subsidiary of Alphabet is trying to sell me cloud services at the same time the YouTube subsidiary is subjecting me to capricious product changes. Since there are viable competitors the effect will be the same. It might seem unreasonable but people will be people.

Downgrade attacks:

WPA3 has a transitional mode which allows legacy WPA2 clients to connect. In this mode legacy WPA2 security issues are still present. Is this really a discovery or a given? How is WPA3 supposed to protect against it without requiring either WPA2 clients to be upgraded to support WPA3 security fixes (in which case you don't need WPA2 support anymore anyways) or without dropping support for transitional mode? 802.11w fixes much of this but WPA2 didn't mandate support for this which is one of the big reasons WPA3 is so much better.

Dragonfly downgrade:

"The hack can force the access point to use a different curve, presumably one that’s weaker." note: not "The hack can force the access point to use a different curve, one that’s weak.".

Side channel leaks:

Are failures in implementations not WPA3. If you're allowing local timing attacks while generating your keys it doesn't really matter what protocol you're using you've just failed. A real discovery of things in the wild that need to be fixed but nothing to do with the security of the specification.

Denial of service:

It's far more effective and simple to DoS the air than to DoS the APs CPU anyways. Always has been always will be. Besides, would you rather it be faster and have the AP expose side channel attacks instead?

"dragonblood":

Makes me think some researchers were out for their 5 minutes of fame with a cool sounding "vulnerability". To be a little less critical the researches discovered in-the-wild side channel attacks on popular client implementations of the crypto (but that doesn't sound as cool as "serious flaws leave WPA3 vulnerable".

I know that the 802.11 means it's a standard for a wireless communication protocol, but I'm only familiar with 802.11b/a/g/n/ac (because they are on the admin page of my router).

How do I now whether my WiFi supports 802.11w or any of the other countless 802.x family of standards that would be nice to have?

Are there any good overviews to these things?
That is the right approach IMO. What I'm basically saying is "more of this". It's clearly possible for C++ compilers to do this in many more cases. They already do most of the hard parts just to produce some of the error messages that they do. Why not use that knowledge more often to help the programmer instead of burdening them?

> What exactly are the threats that you expect blocking DoH to protect you from?

I want to maintain the ability to block the resolution of certain domain names.

The threat model is malicious software or websites that want to phone home. This includes reaching out to command-and-control servers, ad tracking servers, data exfiltration points, etc.

> If you are MitMing all encrypted traffic anyway, why not block whatever you want to block when someone actually tries to connect to it

Because most of the malicious actors don't use raw IP addresses as they can change frequently and without notice. They resolve a domain name instead. Blocking the domain name lookup is therefor more effective and less likely to result in blocking the wrong things than working with raw IP addresses.

This is not a replacement for other security measures (including IP-based blocks), but is is, in my opinion, a critical measure in and of itself.
It's pretty trivial to implement like a 10 line FFT algorithm in haskell in probably an hour or so. Had to do it back in school. So I'm not exactly sure about what is so simple about this.
Why is this bad now?

To be clear, the American economy has always had a "Big 5" of Real Estate, Finance and Insurance, State and Local Government, Health Care, and then Durable Goods manufacture. That hasn't really changed. (At most maybe Lawyering and IT combined could knock off Finance? I seriously doubt either Legal or Tech could knock off even Durable Goods on their own.)

Point is, we've been operating like this for at least a century and a half now. Why are the big intangible transfers in Finance and Insurance, or Health Care, or even sometimes Real Estate* all of a sudden a problem now?

* Finance, Insurance, Health Care, and Real Estate are the intangible transactions that still dominate the economy today. Transactions for legal services or computer/tech type services could not even approach any of the Big 5 in terms of scale. Again, maybe if you combined them? But even then, I doubt they would be number one. There's no way they challenge Real Estate.
What people were saying is that his argument (If I go to Sweden the U.S. will extradite me) is baloney.

It was. The U.S. could easilly extradite him from the UK.

Reading is fundamental. Said nationals will never see the inside of USA courtrooms. That being the case, standards for indictment were even lower than their usual ham-sandwich levels. FBI never saw the damn servers. They just believed Crowdstrike when he said "oh yeah those servers were just infested with Russkies. By the way we've melted down all the hard drives. We like to recycle!" Good grief, this wouldn't pass the laugh test even in the pathetic courts we have.

Why did Mueller put on such a goofy show, when he knew all along he would indict no American for "Russian collusion"? He was throwing his friends in the media a bone. They've pushed this long enough to guarantee Trump's reelection, which is all they ever wanted. Ratings gold!

They differ (at least that's what I was argueing) in terms of what happens with the money the moment after the investment happens.

If Google takes $5bn (imagine they don't have it) from a firm/fund to buy a software company, that money goes to founders and investors. In practice, the money went out of a an investment pool and into another one, staying in the macro-pool.

What happens when tesla takes $5bn is it comes out of the fund and goes to pay parts manufacturers, toolers, builders.. IE, it is spent in the "real" (in the sense that economists use th term) economy. One affects the ethereal world of bank balances and stock valuations. The other affects wages and production of goods and services.
Would you care to address any of the other points made or does this detail suffice to dismantle the entire argument?

They are not doing that.
I am saying that you can hardly deduct anything about their positive affiliation with Russia just because they haven't exposed things about Russia.

So unless they aren't looking for things to leak about Russia because of being in the cahoots with them then it's hardly an argument that because nothing is leaked about Russia they are somehow not attempting.

This is all there is to it. Assange offered to crack a NTLM hash given to him by Manning, and apparently failed.

It certainly didn't take the government 8 years to investigate this, this is obviously a politically motivated prosecution.

Less code is not always better.

The checkbox trick itself sounds like an accessibility nightmare, so again, you're not necessarily serving the user's best interest by doing code parkour to avoid two lines of JavaScript.
You can search for "MFP", "PMF", "Management Frame Protection", or "Protected Management Frames" in your Wi-Fi router's settings. Second best way is to look up the chipset in your router online.

>but it doesn't change the correctness of the argument one bit.

It most definitely does. Because TLDs are designed to be at the top, because they are top level domains, used to house other domains in a general category. .net does not belong to a brand, it is a broad concept. So it correctly sits at the top. Other people are also able to freely register domains under that TLD.

That's a far cry from one private company owning a TLD with broad applications, just to continue to carry out its niche commercial purpose.
