You have to be a little weary using tor. Anyone can run an exit node and it is trivial to rewrite and inject onto web pages. You can also on the fly intercept SSL requests and generate your own self signed certificate that fails proper verification but looks real enough if inspected that will always trick a percentage of users. If you've used tor with any frequency you've probably hit weird SSL cert errors that go away if you change routes.

My issue with psychiatry is that psychiatrists can force these things onto people. And when confronted about some of the terrible things done through that the answer is "but we are trying to help."

People are fearful and suspicious of psychiatry because psychiatrists can basically imprison you and you have fewer rights than actual convicted prisoners. On top of that, if they get it wrong then there's no real accountability. While you're imprisoned, they can force you into many types of dangerous treatments and you have to obey.

Cases like Gustl Mollath are reason enough to be afraid of psychiatry. Terrible things happen when there are systems in society that can easily be abused while having little oversight and accountability.
A phone without data is just as likely to raise suspicion. It's come up before.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_violence

"It refers to a form of violence wherein some social structure or social institution may harm people by preventing them from meeting their basic needs. Institutionalized adultism, ageism, classism, elitism, ethnocentrism, nationalism, speciesism, racism, and sexism are some examples of structural violence as proposed by Galtung.

According to Galtung, rather than conveying a physical image, structural violence is an "avoidable impairment of fundamental human needs"."

As intimated, I'm not sure that the fuzzy language and world of economics is the best way to view such things, however ...

I'd accept that debts are a subset of liabilities, but not that 'liabilities are debts'.

A debt implies an externality, while a liability implies some generic exposure -- it's that which I focus on when considering (all) code as a risk to an organisation.

I suspect, however, that we agree on the fundamentals. There's some cost and risk to developing and trying to maintain any code base, and accepting that can usefully inform development and operations work better than thinking of code as a (near-)risk-free asset.

Pretty much every Western country will, because they depend on the US. If the empire goes, the provinces follow.

It's another thing for Russia, but they are already well aware. India? Probably still in a role where US-dependence does more good than harm. For Africa, it doesn't matter as much, and South America likely remembers that it's unwise to stray too far from the northern neighbor's wishes.
Used it. Loved it. It does have its issues though.

I was working on the backend systems for electric car charging. When we heard about real-world events happen (start-charging, stop-charging, etc.), we wrote them directly to Kafka. It was up to other services to interpret those events, e.g. "I saw a start then a stop, so I'm writing an event to say user-has-debt". Yet another service says "I see a debt, I'm going to try to fix this by charging a credit card". I guess you'd call the above the 'C' part of CQRS.

But Kafka by itself is not great for relational queries. So we had additional services for, e.g history. The history service also listened to starts, stops, debts, credits, etc. and built up a more traditional SQL table optimised for relational queries, so a user could quickly see where they had charged before.

The issues we had were:

1) Where's the REST/Kafka boundary? I.e. when should something write to the Kafka log as opposed to POSTing directly to another service? E.g. If a user sets their payment method, do we update some DB immediatley, or do we write the fact that they set their payment method onto Kafka, and have another service read it?

2) Services which had to replay from the beginning of time took a while to start up, so we had to find ways to get them not to.

3) You need to be serious about versioning. Since many services read messages from Kafka, you can't just change the implementation of those messages. We explicitly versioned every event in its class name.

Worth it? For our use case, hell yeah.

Companies pay Oracle because 1) PostgreSQL doesn't take you to lunch and 2) Oracle "just works." I mean, we all know #2 is effectively a lie but having the option to go to Oracle directly for issues (even if the response is just "pay a contractor") immensely reduces risk for executive leaders.
> "problem of academics being incentivized to publish in the most prestigious journal possible."

Is this a problem? If you have interesting, ground-breaking, or just really surprising results, what is wrong with trying more prestigious journal? Problem is not that there are journals that take only "interesting" results, but that a lot of research is not published at all, just because results are as expected. And this journal fixes that.

> It would be far better if the most prestigious journals pre-committed to publishing studies based on their methodology and hypothesis, before seeing their results.
This is quite interesting proposal, could work well for experimental sciences, but worse for stuff like math / computer science, theoretical physics.

When you're advanced enough, there is no need for you do to IP. Maybe the risk is not worth it or there is nothing to gain from it. It's the same argument with the open markets. When you're already a developed economy, open markets benefit you since you have the best products, your production facilities are in place and you can offer both quantity, quality and reasonable prices. But when you are a developing nation, protections are needed for key sectors.

US did both of these things. That is, closed markets and protectionism and IP theft. It doesn't matter that, oh, "this was a long time ago, it doesn't count". It does. Advantages add up year after year, century after century. I'm not even trying to defend China, but instead, trying to be clear and honest about how these things work in the real world, regardless of sentiments and your favorite team.

I just did a quick lookup, you can do the same. I'm sure there are more examples out there.

In 1787, American agent Andrew Mitchell was intercepted by British authorities as he was trying to smuggle new technology out of the UK.
His trunk was seized after being loaded on board a ship. Inside the trunk were models and drawings of one Britain's great industrial machines.
Mitchell himself was able to escape and sought refuge in Denmark. But his mission marks the start of a sustained US campaign to steal technology from the world's hi-tech superpower of the day. [1]

Yeah, the determinant of the success of nonviolent movements is not the oppressiveness of the regime, it's the relative dependence on resources vs labour. Since it's much harder for the government to force everyone to go back to work than it is to throw a few violent people in jail, nonviolent movements can paralyze an economy and hold the government to account.

This is not as effective in so called "resource-cursed" countries. There, the government does not care whether the population works, so long as the oil keeps flowing. It's much harder for a nonviolent movement to disrupt the economy in that case, and hence oppressive regimes tend to thrive in resource-cursed countries.

Also in the news today a report on tariffs (taxes) and the U.S. footwear business. Nike, ADIDAS and others are begging the Trump regime to call a halt to the trade war as normal people will not be able to afford shoes. Apparently 1.04% of shoes bought in the U.S.A. are made in the U.S.A. which is shocking, it is one thing to have lots of nuclear weapons for security but what use is this? Having a shoe industry is nearer my ideas on 'national security' - at least people can walk.

The shoe industry say that their business is capital intensive and they cannot just relocate back to sunny America in three months or so. Even if they wanted to setup shop n the U.S.A. they would not be able to hire the staff, get them trained and get them working in Trump timescales.

Which is the problem with this trade war. The U.S.A. isn't working to a grand plan, China are. China have goals for 2020/2025/2030/2040/2050 and stable leadership. Having the Trump regime just tear up trade deals and impose tariffs on a monthly basis is not how it works, there are better ways to regenerate economies than that, as evidenced by China.

Recently the Russians tested if they could survive their internet being disconnected from the American controlled internet. Everything worked fine. There are Russian apps for everything plus Yandex. They no longer need Silicon Valley. It is the same with China, they don't entirely need U.S. tech. Europe is slipping behind, there should be French/German/Italian/Spanish and other language/nationality based efforts. It is a bit lame and unambitious to use Google's services for everything.
That sounds logical, and I'm no expert on either Go or systems programming, but I've often heard of Go being referred to as a systems programming language, and on their own blog[0] they list it in third place at 37% as popular use of the language. Well after web development, admittedly, so apparently it is more a web development language than a systems programming language. I was clearly wrong on that part.

From my five years of learning and using C++, I still have no clear picture how move semantics and rvalue references work. (I “kinda” get it, but am not confident about it). It seemed more and more convoluted every time I tried to study about it. The complexity created by implicit and explicit copy/move constructors is just insanity for me...
It's different because in Europe you have people whose ancestors have lived in the same village for hundreds or thousands of years. They walk the land where their language was invented.

Maybe their ancestors aren't really as pure as they think, but it's still fundamentally different from a country where everyone is an immigrant within the last few generations.

Nobody is going to care about this in the long run, and it's pretty clear that China has already moved past US capabilities with tech like 5G.

I expect them to leapfrog US within a decade or so.
This. Plus folks are always comparing to their previous experience, which is likely to still be a subjective and also hard to compare at all too. It's like apples (Go) vs oranges (C#) vs broccoli (Python).

It does not fix that because, as GP mentioned, researchers are incentivised to publish in prestigious journals, which this journal won't become. Thus, negative results still won't get published.

Brave's "Basic Attention Token" was described as replacing ads on websites with ads from Brave's own ad network[0], which I recall is a common practice among adware to go unnoticed on an infected user's machine. The homepage of the Basic Attention Token completely fails to mention that it blocks publisher's "genuine" ads and replaces it with their own ads[1].

On top of that Brave has seemingly no interest in asking for consent for this practice, while also going as far as to use people's names and photos to solicit donations to them, without those people even being aware that Brave is accepting money for them[2].

Now I believe the ad-replacement feature is opt-in, but I'm not willing to install Brave and go through the opt-in flow to determine if it goes through the proper steps in explaining that the Brave Ad money may never reach its intended recipient.

How long would it take Huawei (or a bunch of Chinese companies) to develop MIPS or RISC-V based phones? Too long to run out of cash (given that their sales for the foreseeable future just cratered) - or doable?
Exactly. I want my language to be crazy good and have an amazing library to tap into. In fact, it was Go's great standard library (JSON parsing, hardened prod' ready HTTPS server, SSH, crypto, etc) that formed a large part of why I love the language.

And yeah, I'd rather go with .NET/C# over PHP any day (although I understand PHP is getting better and better, which is good to hear.)
Disney+ will include Hulu apparently which means all the adult shows and movies, along with kid specific context. HBO is being gutted by AT&T. I enjoyed some Netflix originals but they really cut back on the shows I liked and had virtually no movies of note. Now they'll have less. If you watch primarily television Netflix might be a good option. If you want movies Disney is probably going to be the way to go. Unfortunately Disney should be broken up as a monopoly, but that would never happen nowadays.
There's more nuance to it though. Users eventually become contributors (at least some percentage are), they become and stay contributors when they feel heard and feel like they have the ability to influence development. That's what nurturing an open source community means. If you start alienating your non-core contributors they'll stop contributing, if you nurture and support your non-core contributors they might become core contributors. No body wants to work voluntarily on a project they can't influence - that's not a contributor, that's an employee.
Possible, but they're in a completely different situation now where their credibility is under threat. Before they were just another phone company, now they have to prove that their technology is above board.
Did try that very early on (spoiler alert: it didn't work), and it's curious what mechanism my brain developed to neuter this trick.

One, in line with what GTD book teaches, writing down a task is very liberating experience - indeed, the act of writing a task down feels almost like doing it, so it drains the pressure to actually do it. Two, once the mental weight of a full todo list reaches a certain stage, I instinctively shy away from looking at it. The degree to which this happens subconsciously is probably worth a paper in a psychology journal; I'll instinctively stop opening my TODO files, my Org Agenda, and if I write the tasks down physically (e.g. on whiteboard), after a while my eyes will just gloss over it and essentially ignore its presence in the room.

To combat this, I started cycling through TODO stores - every other month or three I jump between .org files, bullet journal, issue tracker tickets, whiteboard, notebook, paper calendar, electronic calendar. The "freshness factor" seems to be working somewhat, but I still can sometimes go two days before realizing I have an organizer open on my desk with tasks already late.
For whatever reason a lot of companies are going laptop only. The company I work, for example basically banned workstations in the latest round of upgrades. So a lot of people who need what would be a moderately powerful desktop computer end up having to buy ridiculously powerful laptops like this one.
> It needs close parenting. Java has been ruined by the push to include everyone's pet feature.

Oracle is moving to a faster cycle of development. There are some of us who strongly feel that some of their decisions are based less on what's best for the language and more on catering to the popular-and-loud crowd. I'll never forgive the addition of `var` to the language.

There will hopefully be some integration with Calcite in the future. The ZetaSQL team has been in discussion about this on our mailing list :)
I'm not a professional, but it sounds like you're adding challenge or pressure to the task at hand to make it more exciting and gratifying.

Unfortunately, a lot of tasks / work are just boring and ungratifying, that's the harsh reality of e.g. software development. Going to e.g. HN and seeing how everyone else is doing something cooler is not helping in that regard.
Poor quality code is debatable. What seems like a great architecture and clean design to one, may be regarded as the worst thing on earth by another. Code quality measurement is often very subjective and it's difficult to come up with objective criteria. For example, someone coming from embedded world will be appalled by some OOP designs, ridiculous usage of so called "patterns", etc. And the same thing will be regarded as "clean" and high quality by someone else.
It is fair to say that using unauthenticated protocols like HTTP over Tor is a pretty bad idea (and there really should be more warning bells about this in the Tor Browser). However on the TLS comment -- almost all modern websites use HSTS, so sslstrip doesn't really work any more.
I personally did not understand the solution proposed here, I would like to see an actual solution to the problem that was raised.

That's not accurate. Netflix can and do license their Netflix Originals just the same as any other production studio. They just don't do so as frequently as streaming is a superior delivery platform (from their perspective) in terms of user lock-in & profitability (no middle men). Those latter two reasons are a strong driving force for why Disney (and prior to that Fox) have been moving into the space.
