Yes, I would say that anyone calling for armed revolution would be classified as a terrorist by the government they opposed.

Governments tend not to take sides against other governments unless they want to go to war with them in some way. So you can imagine that in many cases most other governments would back the terrorist label.

This points out one of the big issues with the use of the word "terrorist" in today's world. It is a label that dominant organizations use against any group that presents a serious threat, regardless of the activities of that group.
> different users who are not, for a myriad of reasons, in a position to upgrade their software stack to TLS.

These people, who I am not convinced exist in 2019, would also be left behind by MTA-STS, which still requires participation in the commercial PKI pyramid of trust, TLS connections and all. What makes you think an entity that cannot tls-wrap their mail service can instead rewrite the mail service to issue web requests, parse the responses, and then reconfigure their MTA on the fly for each response?

Deprecating plaintext messaging is a perfectly achievable goal, and there's no real effort in the IETF to do so because every such effort is drowned at birth by the bizarre "just do everything over HTTPS" phalanxes.
The feature described in the article will work when your phone is offline. We'll publish instructions soon on how, but it will e.g. involve manually waking the screen to trigger the local communication.

Of course it won't work if your battery is dead. :)
Aha. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Why does it need to be federated? Why not something p2p like IPFS or just torrents?
You could perhaps also try Reddit at /r/personalfinance or /r/pftools.

I'm actually quite interested in this since I've tried to use GNU Cash for budgeting, but it isn't exactly designed for budgeting (it can work). I actually started building a web UI for it, but I lost interest.

I hope you get good feedback, and I'll try to give it a good, solid try tomorrow. No need for the gift card.
This is actually wrong and for reasons that surprised me when I found out and it does not require luxury taxation.

Many? Most? People earning (say) $500k+ dodge their income tax, legally and illegally. There's a whole industry of it. Yes let's clamp down on that as we've been trying to across the world for decades. Not likely to eradicate it by next year though, right?

So you tax consumption at a flat rate /in addition/ to income tax. You ensure the people earning less get a tax break or a transfer payment increase to cover the consumption flat tax and then some.

All those wealthy people are now paying that base rate on their consumption in a way that is basically unavoidable.

So for your progressive taxation, the initial bracket cannot be avoided. People in higher brackets still should pay more.

By using consumption to tax the initial bracket the poor get an increase in after tax income. The rich (on average) get a higher tax bill.

Yes it depends on the modelling and getting the implementation right as all tax regimes do. Yes it is progressive.

When you see consumption tax as necessarily regressive (as I did once) you are missing the most important thing about them which is they really aren't. They're the best way of getting a big tax revenue increase at the expense of those who cheat. I like that, myself.
And, so what percent of the contemporary news media would you suggest is "fact based" and what percent would you suggest is "opinion based"? Keep in mind that opinion based does not simply mean the article begins under the section "opinion". Articles on issues that are littered with opinions are, in effect, opinion based. One other important nuance here is that while the existence of a quote may be a fact, if it expresses an opinion - it similarly adds little more than opinion to an article.
Sounds like a dangerous title since the word true is subjective and requires variable amounts of support, even no evidence, to qualify its use.
No, it's not a long list - most of it either specific examples of lawless acts connected to speech, or matters unrelated to freedom of speech - such as that lying to a government official is a crime. It's true, but it has nothing to do with freedom of speech - the crime here is not the words being spoken but government official being deceived. Then goes discussion of IP rights - which also not violation of freedom of speech, because again the problem here not the speech itself but that the block of information conveyed by it is owned by somebody else. Concept of ownership of blocks of information may seem weird, but that question is very different from freedom of speech.

Only limitations on obscenity somehow approach free speech restrictions, but even then they are "place and manner" restrictions, not outright bans - as you might be perfectly aware, there's a lot of porn of most obscene varieties around, and it's completely legal - as long as it is not presented in specific venues in specific manner.

All these things are radically different from what EU is trying to do. They try to ban certain things completely, based on their content - not ban publication of X because it's copyrighted, or because they want to only be transmitted by cable TV and not public broadcast, or not shown in public places where kids may see it, or not being told to government officials if this can interfere with their functions. No. They want it to be banned because of its content, totally and absolutely. There's no connection to any other crime required, there's no other harm or action required - the speech content itself is a crime. That's the fundamental difference.
You can do both of those things in vim. I don't mean to be nitpicky, I'm just mentioning in case someone reading this didn't know and uses vim. You can set scrollbind and convert splits (off the top of my head I think it's Cw Ch and Cw Ct).
We used to offer support and accept that sadness and sorrow were a part of life and that sometimes people needed to grieve, or people went through rough patches, and eventually got themselves out of it with the help of others.

Now we say sadness and depression are diseases that must be medicated with drugs whose side effects (WRITTEN ON THE LABEL) include suicidal ideation and depression, and we wonder why the suicide rates are up?

The worst thing this country did was vote to allow pharmaceutical companies to advertise drugs on TV and in other media. Once that pandora's box was open, there was no going back. It's sad that we're only now waking up to the fact that things like the opioid crisis were actually fueled and manufactured by pharmaceutical companies to increase their profit margins... :/
Value of Working in Ads?
Bingo. Liberalism is ill-equipped to promote free expression in any meaningful sense, because the principles it presumably holds sacred play second fiddle to the central tenant of the philosophy: private property.

Most "live free or die" types wouldn't tell someone struggling against government repression, "If you don't like it, why don't you just leave your country?" Yet they do this all the time on corporate communications channels, some of which have populations bigger than most real-world states. It may seem histrionic to complain about much free-market censorship now, but the vise will tighten as firms consolidate and anything threatening to the bottom line will become increasingly difficult to disseminate to a wider population.

Skimming the docs pages it looks like Scaleway just lifted the request/response examples from the DO API.

Everything around those appears to be "original" - as much as that is possible for a standardized API.

Whoever wrote those docs probably just looked up a reference for the S3 API, and DO's particular implementation happened to be the first result.

There is nothing much wrong with this in my opinion.

I've had (unipolar) ECT done, many times, and it didn't work even marginally for me.

It wasn't a forced option, either - I wasn't in an environment where anyone was compelling me, directly or indirectly, to do it, or threatening to do something if I didn't, it was just another option presented to me.

I still don't think it's just a placebo - there's pretty good evidence that it's effective for a number of people, both in the small population of others I know who have had it done and outside of that, even though it wasn't helpful for me.

It also wasn't obviously deeply destructive for me, either - I don't remember the particular days that this was done well (and didn't even a few days after the fact), but I and others haven't noticed any memory or activity issues outside of that.

Do you have specific documentation of why you have these strong opinions?
The point here is the universe has two sides; we can only observe one side. On the other side of the universe the time runs backward, from the future to the past. If one, by any chance, would traverse to the other side, will "grow" younger.

Both views are valid in different circumstances.

If your business is a well automated machine where technology acts as a force multiplier for some level of human input that is approaching 0 over time, then it becomes a possession. Most tech people aspire to have this kind of business. It is easier to do with it whatever you please, including taking it in a risky new direction or even shutting it down completely. The only person you hurt is yourself.

If however your business is driven mostly by raw human labor and more and more families are depending on the jobs you create as you grow, then you are mostly in the stewarding category. You will lie awake at night knowing that many people are counting on you to make the right decisions and to be merciful to them.
That’s a great idea, we’ll look into it.

I'm not describing a worldview; I'm describing the actual responses from the MTA-STS team during the IETF draft process. They did not say they wanted to keep DNS untrusted, they said that they did not think network operators were capable of understanding DNS security, and so the MTA-STS chose a different approach to securing SMTP.
You don't install any updates or change anything once the machine is setup and performing its duty. If the hardware fails you replace it with similar hardware and install the original software from CD again. I see windows NT on ships, windows 2000 in power stations, etc.

I think that 90% of news is totally unimportant. Its just non stop bad news about stuff that doesn't affect me and I can't do anything about.

Neither,

Can confirm, I use Dvorak and vim without issues. I find myself not using hjkl very often though, since I can usually use another movement to get where I want to go, so it's really not an issue.
A number of startups screw over their employees with options. 90 days is a terribly short exercise window. Kinda like a scam in a way.

But not all startups are like that. Where I work (Mixpanel), that window is 5 years. Which I feel is a much generous and fair offer.

With stock options, I pay no tax. If the company liquidates, then I convert the options to real stock (yeah i’ll have to pay money to do that). If things go better, I hold that stock for one year and when I sell, I pay capital gains tax at a much lower rate on the gains.

But. Big BUT, there’s a lot of assumptions. Things may not go well, may it doesn’t get valued as much, may be it takes longer than 5 years. Lots of may be’s. That’s part of the startup gamble.

We are hiring btw if anyone is interested in analytics space. DM me.
EU is certainly not yet where Russia is. But it's walking the same road, and stepping on the same rakes on the way. How long does it take depends on how complacent EU citizens would be when they freedoms are taken away. So far the answer seems to be "quite so", but maybe when people start being fined and jailed and sites like Internet Archive start being blocked some of them would wake up?

We had 4-6 month cyclical code yellows. It's not unlike the game where 20% projects could only be within the same team without significant blowback. Things are only reasonable when used as designed, which is not how all of Google operates for everyone. You can talk in the general sense, but you cannot speak definitively especially when such actions are blessed by the executive team.
I do, and it works well. I tend to use movements other than hjkl for moving around, so that doesn't bother me too much. I don't remap anything, and my config is pretty bare.

For phones that have a dedicated hardware module, such as the Pixel 3, yes the key material is generated and stored there. Using it requires a physical action that is hardwired to the hardware module.

We think the most pressing need right now is to protect users against phishing, which is a much larger threat than malware. Thus we think there's a lot of value in enabling this for all phone models where it's possible to run the protocols.

Not according to that blurb. There have been other databases where count(1) was much faster. Here they are saying that in Postgres, count(1) is slower because star is treated as no arguments, and count(1) is more complex.

As long as you put in reasonable effort and ask at a good time (don't interrupt). For timing, messages are often very good, which is also why in my office, we often message to the person sitting right across us at the table.

If 4-5 people are asking the same person, at some point it probably is their role to sit around being asked.

If you're being paid, you're also costing the company money for every hour you spend on the problem. If someone else can answer it in 5 minutes and it takes you 2 hours to find it, it's a lot more polite to just ask.

No, I haven't, because that's how all ML models learn. It's called supervised learning and supervision comes in the form of labels produced by human taggers. It's not something special that only Amazon Alexa does. Tagging is as necessary in ML as data entry in accounting.

> Conversely, my own code is battle tested and stable and is any code that is well tested, based upon the standards, and works across supported browsers. When I read "battle tested" as a justification for a large abstraction library it sounds like you aren't testing your code thoroughly cross-browser.

It's less a justification for a large abstraction library and more a statement to its persistence since, what, 1997?

jQuery and SPAs don't have to be mutually exclusive.

At my work, we've been building SPAs with jQuery long before Angular or React even existed. More recently, we've built our own JavaScript SPA framework whose components can be written with vanilla JS or jQuery. Most of us prefer to use jQuery for our components because the syntax is often more expressive and concise than vanilla JS.

We recently open sourced the framework: http://github.com/elliotnb/nimbly

It's overblown. Boot camp needs to produce people who can fall in line and follow orders, but that's far and away from brainwashing or other attempts to rewrite your identity or beliefs. People who serve are individuals who have learned to operate within a hierarchy.

Also, there are different boot camps for people in combat and non-combat roles. Even in conscription militaries, most people are recruited into non-combat roles.

This does not use Web Bluetooth, but rather an implementation directly in the browser through WebAuthn. A critical part of the phishing resistance of WebAuthn is that websites do not get to talk directly to the authenticator.

To make this work, we made an extension to WebAuthn+FIDO for pairing-free BLE as Rafert points out. We're already in the process of making that open together with these standards bodies, stay tuned!

It really is the last resort; even if you were able to find a psychiatrist willing to administer a course of it without extensive trials of multiple classes of psychotropic medication as an adjunct to psychotherapy, your insurer is definitely not going to spring for it. The NHS’ NICE guidelines outline what’s to be considered before ECT is even proposed (https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/cg90/chapter/1-Guidance#seq...), and criteria are at least as stringent in the US.

In order to have a stable population you need like 220 people, right? Or steady genetic trade with another civilization. So we’d be talking about more than a couple boat people making it to an island and having a ton of kids. In other words, I don’t think a fluke crossing establishes a civilization. It takes more order than that.

Unless the reason these early populations have been replaced by Polynesians is because they weren’t diverse enough and faded out...

A lot of medicine is rather more grey than black and white than we'd prefer, since we either find things out through long tails of researching lots of things and seeing what works better than placebo, or by verifying unexpected reported outcomes (several entire classes of medications have come from unexpected side effects - Rogaine and Viagra were blood pressure meds, the entire SS*I class of drugs was found when someone noticed by accident that a type of antihistamine seemed to improve malaise in some patients, ketamine is rather well known at this juncture as an anesthetic and party drug that got signoff as a novel antidepressant...), and observational evidence isn't necessarily predictive of how it happens on its own.

You're not wrong that a lot of psychiatric medications are "this seems to work, who knows why" and experiments around testing mutations on those things to see if they're more or less effective, because we have so little visibility into the brain and cognition that we can't really gauge these things objectively v. well.

But for people with pathological brain problems, big unpredictable hammers can be a reasonable choice to try if you have an urgent need for mitigation (e.g. acutely self-destructive problems) and/or less invasive things like directed behavioral therapies have not proven sufficiently effective.
This allows AMP to skip preloading images below the fold on viewports of arbitrary size. If you fired somebody for doing something you don't understand without asking for an explanation, that's your problem.
