I could see a scenario where an engineer would have gone to the press and the result would have been him getting sued for damages because of the accusations, of breaking NDAs if he signed ones, for stealing documents if he presented any evidence etc.

We also seen how the public was trying so hard to blame the pilots so I could see how most of the public would defend Boeing and FAA since they had a very good reputation and they would ask for some unreasonable proof(one airplane crash was not enough so it is clear the proof would have to be extreme for something to happen).
There’s a reality tv show that follows the Canadian border patrol, in the couple episodes I’ve seen the agents have found emails about the person crossing actually going for work when they say for tourism or visiting family.

Many of the services which could be accessible from those devices are American services with data residing on American servers. I wonder if it is possible to use hacking laws as a means of dissuading border agents from looking at devices. A Canadian agent might have jurisdiction in Canada but what if the get charged under the CFAA in the USA for accessing a server they aren't legally allowed to access. Perhaps it would be possible to design a specific legal/digital service for people to install with servers all over the world as a type of legal landmine meant to punish agents searching data by using hacking laws in many jurisdictions. Think of it like copyleft for stopping agents from snooping.

Freaks of Nature: What Anomalies Tell Us About Development and Evolution

I’m sure there are tons of phones that have incriminating photographs in the default camera app, or incriminating text messages or saved voicemails or who knows what.
Many CFS patients have learned the hard way about the outcome of the PACE study, and many have found the methods of the study itself to be deeply questionable.

Even today the NICE guidance and doctors both still recommend exercise - despite many CFS patients having found out the hard way about the damage it can cause.

The NICE guidance is currently under review, with new guidance due to be issued in 2020. But appointment of certain panel members has been viewed with hostility by some CFS patients, and it's far from clear whether the new guidance will actually change its stance on exercise.
If you look at the evidence, all the studies so far show that CFS is triggered by stress and/or viral infections, and that the HPA axis is dysrupted. So it isn't my "conclusion", it's just what the evidence is showing.

Also, mental health is intrinsically linked to the stress system. Mental stress causes depression.

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00213-016-4218-9

If you talk to patients who have severe CFS and depression, you'll see that it isn't comorbid depression. Instead it is a fundamental symptom related to PEM. (See for example, Whitney Dafoe's description of his attacks). I had the same experience. The depression is not psychological (caused by thinking about the illness). Rather it is PEM, and comes on suddenly after exertion. That is not "comorbid".

Generally it's things like text messages from friends/family/potential employers that lead agents to think the person isn't going to abide by their non-work/short term visa.

I think I’ve somehow wired my brain to no longer be able to read books. I read almost all of the content I get in a day, no tv, rarely movies, but I cannot muster the stamina to read a whole book...particularly fiction. It makes me feel bad b/c I’m obviously missing out on a big part of culture.

Fortunately the rest of my family all loves to read thanks to my wife’s amazing consistency in getting our girls into it and inspiring them to keep going.

Do you have exactly the same symptoms when you take 2 weeks off work to go on holiday (say, after the first week)?
I don't know all the details of your specific situation, but from what I've read it does seem that your superior was in the wrong. As others have noted, this is a situation where it might be clever to look for a new employer. That being said I don't think passive aggressive lies and manipulation are a smart response. I also don't think that the actions of your superior break down communication in the same way that gaslighting does. Reprimanding somebody while still eventually using their idea can be recognized as an asshole move whether or not it affects "trust." Being an asshole isn't a great trait in a work environment, or life in general for that matter, but I know plenty of assholes who I still probabilistically trust not to lie to me. Finally, and I'm not saying this is the case in your specific negative experience, I can imagine scenarios where some light reprimand might be useful even if the idea implemented is ultimately accepted, like, "hey, that was a good idea, but it affects something above your paygrade and we really want you to go through this process[0] when making these sorts of decisions in the future." I don't think that applies to your back buttons, but I can imagine scenarios where accepting an idea while lightly reprimanding a failure to communicate during the decision making processes could make sense.

Edit: I can see how the "and even take credit" part breaks down trust in a similar way. I still don't think further trust-destruction is a clever response. I would leave, call them out on the lie, or (if not in a position to risk unemployment by pissing off a superior) bite my tongue and try to rise through the ranks.

Other edit: typo.

The article also omits regional protectionism, local laws, and severe financial penalties that were being levied against Uber.

Uber basically had a choice between a 27.5% stake in Grab or 0% in the entire Asian rideshare market.

There's no second guessing this decision IMO. It was the right decision at the time.
They are looking to toy with you. Power is a funny thing, especially when there is no consequences for abusing your power.
>he probably shouldn't trust either device in the future (possibly more so for the laptop).

Seems risky for the government to put any firmware/hardware implants on those devices. The user is naturally going to be suspicious of it because the government had unrestricted access for days/weeks. So there's a high chance that the user might not even use it or will send it to an expert for analysis. If discovered, it's going to look extra bad for the government because there's no doubt that they did it.
My phrase at a previous company was that "not every bug is a vulnerability, but every vulnerability is a bug". In that context our goal as a security team was to drive the total bug count to zero, both by helping to design systems which could be kept bug free and by aggressively hunting the kinds of bugs we really cared about. In my opinion, that was a great way to do business-- with the caveat that you can't be the only team committed to having zero bugs.
Sell 5 random surprise books for $15 (ex shipping). Include a box to send back any books they don't want (or any other book). Process returned books (take pictures, put barcode, register title+author). For the next order give $3 discount for every book they sent back previously.
Digital privacy while crossing borders seems to increasingly be an issue. And I'm worried that it's not going to improve any time soon. Politicians and very rich people don't deal with border security the same way normal people do.
There are cases at the Canadian border in which the investigators search for "boy" or "girl" using the Windows search tools to see if there is child pornography on your device. In other circumstances, they uncover hentai[0] showing characters that appear to be underage - and bringing that into Canada is illegal (in fact, much like Australia and New Zealand, any sexual depiction of fictional minors is illegal, and that can include stories or other text). There are anecdotal and well-documented cases for the latter[1]. One Reddit user claimed that the investigators at the border found browser-cached thumbnails of such material (since it used to be permitted on Redddit) and he was jailed for a day or something like that.

Not to suggest that all of the 38% count for that, but with the popularity of drawn pornography I'd wager it makes up a sizable chunk.

[0] Hentai refers to anime-style drawings of fictional characters.

>people keep threatening to kill psychiatrists

No they don't. Several psychologists have made claims of harassment, all of which have been shown to be specious at best.
In the UK at least the link between psychology and The Science Media Center has massively helped push the, dare I say it "fake news" of threats.
More and more I keep thinking about an interview with Jacques Derrida.

[Standing in his home library / office space]

INTERVIEWER: Did you read these?

DERRIDA: No, I haven't read these. I haven't read all the books that are here.

INTERVIEWER: But you've read most of them?

DERRIDA: No, no. Three or four. But I read those four really, really well.
Besides your claim not being true AFAIK tell [1](there are no ads on my new tab page, and as far as I can tell there was no incident of paid for content showing up on peoples new tab), how exactly would shipping ads be a privacy/security violation?

This is exactly the sensationalist misrepresentation I was talking about. You don't like what they are doing, fine. Misrepresenting it as something that it's not is not fine.

Besides: Mozilla is funded in large parts by having Google as the default search provider. This means they are funded by Google selling ads. Them starting up new revenue streams and getting away from that funding model would be a pro privacy step.

Yup, I get this sense too. You also write, "any variety of quality and less than quality online sources."

Is there research that explains what the economics looks like between these two ends of the quality spectrum? How do the highbrow and lowbrow sources work in the marketplace?

Some comments are just tongue-in-cheek.

As long as environmentalists only complain about the bad things, instead of actually building from a positive vision, nothing will happen.

For example, why is Greenpeace et al. suppressing the knowledge from Allan Savory?
If you're unsupported it's both exhausting and pointless. If you're lightly supported, IMO it's generally better to fight the long fight for stronger support than to spend political capital on specific bugs or design flaws.

They wouldn't be 'high profile' thanks to the strong anonymity protections, but some whistleblower programmes can be - how shall we say - fairly rewarding [0].

The SEC's may not be typical of whistleblower programmes in the USA, but I'm not sure presenting it as uniformly awful across the board is true either. There definitely exist those who have gained (at least monetarily) from whistleblowing.

AIDS, like CFS, was never considered a disease in the medical sense. They both are called “syndrome”, which is medical short-hand for “interesting enough to study further, but frankly, we don’t know shit about what’s causing this”.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syndrome: ”A syndrome is a set of medical signs and symptoms that are correlated with each other and, often, with a particular disease or disorder.”

That’s why AIDS became “HIV infection” when medical science discovered what caused AIDS.

If this research gets confirmed, and a mechanism is found, that will happen here, too.

However, as you say, if that happens, there’s a good chance there are people currently diagnosed with CFS who don’t show this biomarker.

If so, those people run the risk of getting stigmatized even more than current CFS sufferers do.

The real solution to that problem, I think, would be for the world to accept that, if you have a mental problem, a) that doesn’t imply you put it there, and b) it doesn’t imply you should be able to get it out without outside help.

Only a few centuries ago, people were being blamed of being “unfaithful to god” when they got sick, be it due to a bacterial infection or due to mental illness. I see blaming people for their mental problems as a remnant of that.
Where does it say that? The link says they centrally manage revocations using OneCRL and then push a single revocation list to browsers (independent of browser updates). Which means they can revoke any certificate they want using that mechanism.

Ask HN: Newsletters about Bionic Technology
Where can I get a bird’s-eye [1] view of latest developments related to repairing or augmenting the human body with technology?

Oh absolutely. A simple RTL-SDR is widespread, but anything coherent is absolutely not. I mean, the Ettus 4x4 pcie card is coherent, but it's also starting at $5000 for the card. And since it's a pcie, it goes in a very non-portable computer.

The KerberosSDR has one very significant disadvantage: the databus is usb2. The theoretical max is 30M samples at 8bit I and Q... And frankly we need much more bandwidth. But for a beginner foray into coherent radio applications, a KerberosSDR for $100~ is crazy worth it.

Now, the older way of doing RDF (I'm a Ham, btw), was to get a handheld receiver capable of listening to the freq in question, highly directional antenna, take measurements and move. Effectively, the human with a receiver is the manual triangulator which can be trained with experience. That was because gear that did triangulation was $$$$$$.
I think I can calculate the complexity of a level based on the number of boxes, the size of the map and the number is moves you need to finish it.

I find my local library does that fairly well.

Also, "approximately all computer science and programming books"? Approximately all? Just how good an approximation is that? I can't help but think a pretty bad one. Maybe "a few books on approximately most of the top fifty or so languages and a bunch of books on fairly common techniques, tools and systems"? Sure, if you just need any book on something, it's going to be something fairly common and they've probably got one.
One characterization I've heard is the "sits around in PJs and dicks around all day" - like a sickday that goes on forever. Which I have found almost never to be the case, or it was very obvious and they were let go pretty quickly.
If you were using a language with stronger types you could avoid the whole manual process you describe and rely on the compiler to do everything the debugger is doing for you now.
A team I used to work with closely had a process where if a development team didn't think an issue was important enough to fix and release the security team was encouraged to find other buyers for the vuln. It was actually a pretty great way to both keep people on the same page and keep your security folks tethered to reality.
I mean, to be honest, that's probably illegal, but I have never liked trading freedom for security.

So, the medium article headline (I have forgottem more javascript than most people ever learn) is actually a reference to neuromancer:

"The Japanese had forgotten more neurosurgery than the Chinese had ever known"

In the book Case was trying to explain that the japanese had been studying neurosurgery for so long that they had forgotten many things which had become obsolete, an amount of knowledge which turned out to be more than the chinese had ever known.

Having read YDKJS and seen some of Mr. Simpson's talks, I do believe that he is qualified to make such a claim about himself.
It can be both - The FDA is inefficient when it does test a product causing the costs to increase, and also doesn't screen every product as well as it should.
>Ben Dolnick. Mr. Dolnick is a novelist.

>Once I’m actually enjoying a book, it really does feel as if the pages are turning themselves; [...] And pleasure is, after all [...] the reason that I read.

Many proponents of reading (like Ben Dolink) don't seem to accept that some people just don't like to read for pleasure the same way they do. People are different.

I love reading and I've read a hundred of the well-known classics including the thick tomes of Moby Dick, War & Peace, and Les Miserables. But 99% of my friends do not read books for fun. I totally understand that because not every brain derives the same pleasure from reading. Therefore, I'm not going to "advise" them that they should be reading more.

On another note, I still heavily read non-fiction tech books but I've stopped reading all fiction more than 5 years ago. I found out quitting fiction isn't that strange as even famous novelists like Philip Roth and Larry McMurtry also quit reading fiction.[1][2]

Sometimes people just quit getting the dopamine hit from fiction -- or never really got it in the first place. They just read whatever was required in high-school and college to pass some tests and that's it.

I know there will still be some confident folks that are sure that anyone can be "taught" to love fiction. My personal experiences make me doubt that. To me, it's like the fitness enthusiasts claiming you'll get "runner's high" and exercise will feel good. But I've been running regularly for decades and I've never had runner's high; running is always a chore. Certain people get a dopamine hit from workouts but I never did. I think people are just different in what activities bring genuine pleasure.

If you read Mr. Dolnick's self-reported joy of consuming fiction and for some reason, it doesn't inspire you to do the same, there's nothing wrong with you.

I might not be your target user base, but that's exactly the opposite of what I would like as an user. I am already forced to update because the current version does not work correctly. Forcing UI/design/any major change (especially ones that are "quickly cobbled together" and thus might be buggy) on me in that situation is not nice. I am then left with the choice between a) non working software or b) a major update I might not like.

Perhaps it's good from the company POV because that's how you make sure your users migrate to the new version even if it is still inferior/buggier.

The representation has to be pornographic; I should have clarified. That said, "borderline" pornography, including a "chibi" (characters drawn with no definition or detail, no genitalia visible) parody of a famous Japanese print, were prosecuted in Canada[0].
