History suggests this pretty clearly.

The small army of police being friendly and respectful as the demonstrators are being entirely peaceful. Demonstrators who are going out of their way to get arrested, and who have complained enough have not been yet. How did the civil rights protests achieve change? By civil disobedience. Which two deprived regions of England got most immediate help, and a regeneration programme led by Heseltine, during the 1980s deindustrialisation? Why the two that had riots of course - Toxteth and Brixton. Not the regions hardest hit or the only deprived or affected regions.

For a more violent protest you might not even need as many police. They would no longer need to be quite so considerate and use 4 officers to carry away each lying down protester, or other friendly methods of control and containment.

In many ways the extinction rebellion protests have been truly heart warming - in the nature and scale of protest and also in the police response. Mainstream media is finally discussing the issue properly.

Funny that.

Getting your password isn't as compromising as, say, getting a photo of you nude, in the security theatre-sense.

Think of the OPM hack[0] and the potential for a foreign entity to compromise someone (that they know has a security clearance) with blackmail. This has a much larger and potentially far longer ROI than a simple compromise of a password; which probably has to be changed every 'x' days, anyways.

You have to think of things like this in terms of long-term yield and not immediate results; unless we're talking crackers, then they're almost always after immediate results.

That statement would only hold if capitalist market relations were a universal feature of every facet of human life, and if humans were driven only and voraciously by self-interest. But neither of those things are true.

Economics is one sphere of human life, alongside culture, society, politics, and ethics and religion. The relative importance of these spheres is not fixed, but changes over time. One of the aims of the welfare state is to constrain capitalist market relations in order to make room for other spheres of life, for democratic control, family and community, moral values, and cultural creativity.

You appear to be claiming that humans are, always and everywhere, solely moved to maximise their material interests. That has no anthropological plausibility whatsoever, and reveals a deep misanthropy on your part. Contrary to your suggestion that welfare claimants comprehensively exploit the system, official statistics in the UK state that only about 2% of claimants do.

DarwinMail packages your email before it's sent into a raw format (that's not comprehensible text, but a mix of letters and numbers - like IBASDBAA2982NFIUEXJWI02FDIEWD) - but a lot longer!

When the mail is received on another client (Outlook, IMAP, etc) the client knows how to parse the email - to show it to you. I can't speak for other email clients, but I can tell you with all certainty, that DarwinMail does not store any of this email data. DarwinMail just displays it to you on your device.

The code is all available for you to look at. On DarwinMail just right click -> inspect and you can see everything.

Reminders are stored in your browser. They do not touch DarwinMail's servers :)

Sometimes I find these concrete investigations necessary for our brains to make peace with the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics, as it's been called.

I would say one of the first great discoveries for a person is the exponential series (a real world examples: population growth). Another is the divergence of the harmonic series 1/n and convergence of 1/n^2 (my preferred real world example: pizza slices that converge to 1 pizza or diverge to infinitely many). E.g. give me 1/n slices for the rest of my life and I'll pay you $100 (-:

When travelling, I also have go-to experiments that I like doing (e.g., elementary proofs that the earth is round/spherical such as: great circles; N-E-S-W always at 90 degrees; shadow angles [Erastothenes]; seasons; etc.)

There are other things to investigate that are not really "proofs" or "combinatorial evidence", but equally interesting. One example is using music (esp. the piano) as a physical logarithm device. The music "sounds" additive but the frequencies are multiplicative.

"it's a distinct term of the art in engineering of this sort" - I think the problem might be for people who don't work in that field, that the word anomaly in ordinary English means something that is slightly unusual. In other fields, including software, we would say that something failed even if it is only in initial development. If the term in common use for space craft is anomaly, then everyone in that field knows what it means so it is a good term because they are the only people that matter in dealing with it.

Thank you very much for your input here. You are 100% correct. It is the same implementation that DarwinMail uses.

This document explains how to implement OAuth 2.0 authorization to access Google APIs from a JavaScript web application. OAuth 2.0 allows users to share specific data with an application while keeping their usernames, passwords, and other information private. For example, an application can use OAuth 2.0 to obtain permission from users to store files in their Google Drives.

This OAuth 2.0 flow is called the implicit grant flow. It is designed for applications that access APIs only while the user is present at the application. These applications are not able to store confidential information.

In this flow, your app opens a Google URL that uses query parameters to identify your app and the type of API access that the app requires. You can open the URL in the current browser window or a popup. The user can authenticate with Google and grant the requested permissions. Google then redirects the user back to your app. The redirect includes an access token, which your app verifies and then uses to make API requests.

DarwinMail basically sits on top of Google's servers and displays the data in the same manner (and in time using the exact same features + more) as Inbox did.

Darwin does not store any of your email data whatsoever. In fact, if it did, Google would have asked me to audit the tool - but they instead granted me Google verification. It took them almost a month to break down DarwinMail and make sure it did not store any user email data.

Vulnerabilities and Exploits (2017)
They used to. In 1909 we had rates not council tax. Rates were originally brought in during 1601 to fund poor law provision!

They had a huge advantage over the council tax - and Thatcher's brief foray into a poll tax. Houses don't move, people do. The rates were on the property and were charged on rateable value which was a value distinct from market value, but not banded. People and inhabitants did not matter (at least in the 20th century - not sure about earlier).

Every government from Attlee's in 1945 onward promised to replace or reform the rates. Every one except Thatcher concluded it would be not worth doing, and far more expensive to run. All that was needed was a tax break for the little old widow stuck in the old family home after the family had left, as an exception.

Council tax is in effect a massive tax break for the wealthy, compared to domestic rates, as the highest band is an absurdly low value that catches every property worth more than £320,000 in band H. Same tax for £320k and £25m.

We do do seperate SSL certs but it is only for bigger customers that we host dedicated instances on their behalf.
I am a strong opponent to most DSL. They usually make life harder, not easier, and a regular lib is most of the time a better choice.

i mean, it's fine they are in a tough spot and can't put up an accessible version right now. but that should maybe be answered in court in a year. and people will go to jail if it's a cover up, or not if it was an honest mistake.

The whole notion of 'i might stab you because i'm not good at knives' isn't really plausible to me. however, i'm totally willing to accept student drivers on the road, because everyone needs to learn _somehow_. Hopefully it's an honest mistake, or incompetence, and not anything sinister.
I appreciate the effort that the authors have put in to synthesise all these points into this article, but I think I disagree with almost every one of the technical points.

1. Multiple Rates of Change: Why must changing one module in a monolith take longer than changing the same module in its own service? Perhaps a better use of time would be to improve CI+CD on the monolith.

2. Independent Life Cycles: Ditto. If the tests partition neatly across modules, why not just run the tests for those modules? If they don't, not running all your tests seems more likely to let bugs through, wasting the investment in writing said tests.

3. Independent Scalability: How bad is it to have a few more copies of the code for account administration module loaded even if it's not serving a lot of requests? The hot endpoints determine how many servers you need; the cold ones don't matter much. And load is stochastic: what is hot and what is cold will change over time and is not trivial to predict. If you separate the services, you have to over-provision every service to account for its variability individually, with no opportunity to take advantage of inversely correlated loads on different modules in the monolith.

4. Isolated Failure: Why not wrap the flaky external service in a library within the monolith? And if another persistence store is needed to cache, it is no harder to hook that up to a monolith.

5. Simplify Interactions: Ditto. The Façade pattern works just as well in a library.

6. Freedom to choose the right tech: This is true, but as they say having all these extra technologies comes with a lot of extra dev training, dev hiring and ops costs. Maybe it would have been better to use a 'second best' technology that the team already has rather than the best technology that it doesn't, once those costs are accounted for.

The cultural points are largely valid for large organisations, but I feel like it positions microservices as an antidote to waterfall methods and long release cycles, which I think could be more effectively addressed with agile practices and CI+CD. Splitting out a service might certainly be a good way for a large organisation to experiment with those practices, however.
That's the dictionary definition of "anomaly". But that's not the interesting part, what's tickling us armchair detectives is how it got into the press release: "anomaly" is a bit of an anomaly itself, most people would never use that term unless specifically to play something down. That surely is no proof, enough to inspire speculation.
>Retirement systems, for example, need a certain ratio of productive workers for each retiree, and I can't figure out any math that makes sense for the next ~20 years.

Long-term systems like this are generally constantly adjusted over time to fit circumstances, and overall productivity per person is rising overall. Reframing the problem as a target quality of life vs. a target monetary amount may also help.

More generally, using history as a guide, it is unwise to rely on any human organization to keep its specific long-term promises. So, ye reap what ye sow.

Of course, the secret lying in plain sight is that happiness/well-being need not be a function of money at all.
It made sense once I looked at it again, it wasn't a complaint more a praise of the generated comments!
Yes, this comes up often. I think it is difficult to be disciplined about it. To catch yourself when you are not well rested and act accordingly.

That... really depends on the society you live in and your own insecurities.

Fear and prohibition surrounding the naked body is a cultural/religious thing.

The most prudish US-regions are probably somewhere in the middle of central Europe and Islamic countries like Saudi Arabia.

I won't generalize to the whole of the US because I know there's a wide spectrum.

However US-wide media serve the lowest common denominator, spreading the unfounded phobia and taboo of nude people.

Personally I couldn't give a damn whether someone has pictures of me nude. People probably do since I was bathing in the ocean naked on some occasions. I don't really want any pictures of myself on the internet (with my name), but nude or not doesn't make much of a difference to me.

I'm more afraid of ending up in some facial recognition database and private companies starting to track my every move.
This deserves its own submission. Maybe the number of neurons slider could be logarithmic?

The wealthy penthouse owner is actually an interesting case in point.

Traditionally England only had Leasehold ownership of 3D space, you couldn't own it in perpetuity. Since the penthouse is presumably above many other properties belonging to other people its owner could only own a "long lease" (e.g. 100 or 250 years) on the penthouse, with the permanent freehold rights separate, often owned by brass plate companies with the ground rent and other fees paid to them disappearing into opaque foreign corporations.

Some years ago, recognising that this is crap, the British government introduced Commonhold, a way to own 3D space that acknowledges that the property owners who share the same physical building need to work together but rejects the approach that the Freehold should be a profit centre for rent-seeking third party investors.

So in principle today a penthouse could be owned Commonhold, which means it comes with membership of a "Commonhold Association" an entity that exists only so that the Commonhold owners can all be members, and to own the Freehold that they're all dependent on instead of it being possible for somebody else to own that.

In practice people didn't say "I demand Commonhold" and accept a price premium for this improved ownership. So if you developed a piece of land after the reform you had the choice, sell a property Commonhold for £X or sell the same property as Leasehold with say a £1000pa escalator ground rent going to Property Holding Corp 3472 based in the British Virgin Islands, for £X. It was a no brainer, and there are very few Commonhold properties today and plenty of these mysterious property holding corporations earning fat stacks.
