What I don't understand is why people don't band together and simply refuse, collectively, to pay bills that are well known in the culture to be unreasonable. In particular, student loans. But also a few other things. My god, I know so many people who are struggling that it seems like everyone is struggling. I know people making six figures who are worried about losing their homes. In fact, I've known so many people who have either lost their home, almost lost their home, or are worried about losing their home that it makes up probably a majority of the people I know. Did we forget somewhere along the line that a home is just a patch of dirt with four walls and roof thrown on it? Should it really be that precarious of a thing? How many people do you think go to bed every night worrying about becoming a homeless person? We've turned into a culture that literally has a market that gambles on whether or not people will be able to keep their homes! For christ sake! What kind of sick shit is that? And the whole thing is predicated on people accepting the idea that they have to pay all their unreasonable bills and stressing themselves out willingly over the process of paying them. At what point do people throw their hands up and say "fuck it, this is unreasonable"?
Is this also a Buddhist belief?
In my experience, low level security careers tend to be held by people with a very strong background either in exploitation, code review and reversing or hardware and electronics. Quite a few of us have been around for a "very long time" and passed through many roles before focusing on this subject.

To get a better grip on the topic, I would suggest the following pointers:

- challenging CTF, either exploitation (pwnable.kr, overthewire, ...), reversing (flare-on 6 upcoming), assembly (microcorruption) or hardware (RHME2)

- buy a development board for a popular chip, e.g. i.MX6, STM32 or experiment with raspberry pi

- read datasheets and technical reference manuals for the SoC on those boards, experiment setting up security features such as secure boot, or using a hardware cryptographic accelerator

- experiment with U-boot and read the source code

- get awesome at C and assembly (x86, ARM, ...)

- learn how to extract contents from non-volatile memory

- learn reverse engineering of raw binaries

- learn to work with common hardware debug interfaces (JTAG, SWD)

Just realize you're choosing a hard topic here and you won't be done anytime soon. Persistence will be required and whatever you've done up till now is a good start but will not be enough.
Unlikely. The Apple kernel guys are purists and would probably use the BSD kernel even if Linux were MIT licensed.
On the other hand, it is great I think, when economic interests produce mass planting of trees. It is not realistic to assume, that we will let agricultural land become wasteland for the nature to recapture it.

It is the same principle with the hunting of e.g. rhinos. Licenses for killing rhinos are given out for money (sometimes quite a lot) and that money is put into sustaining the population. Without that economic incentive, poachers will kill the animals, but nobody will try to sustain them.
>Why are you installing "lord knows what npm package" on your laptop?

Probably because he installs lord knows what npm packages to his production servers too.

Aside from the cost of credit card charge backs, consider that these are (mostly) customers who think they are buying the game legitimately and just getting a good deal. That money is going straight to g2a instead of the devs/publishers.

Maybe a customer wouldn't buy the game at the full price, but since they're not pirating from the get-go, that shows they are a customer willing to spend money. Maybe they wouldn't buy the same game or as many games, but it's possible they'd still be spending some money on games through legal (but more expensive) means if they knew g2a was just piracy with more steps.
The kernel is not BSD, it's based on the Mach microkernel [1] with a BSD compatibility layer implemented on top. The whole thing collectively is called XNU [2].

Assuming we're talking about drugs that are necessary for survival (or at least having a normal life) and are either government-granted monopolies or have very limited sources, then drug-sellers selling to individuals can engage in price gouging, which is clearly immoral to me (and most everybody else). If you aren't sure why, there's a big literature on price gouging that should help.

However, one can't price gouge on games. There are infinite games to play, many of them free and a great many more are inexpensive. If people don't get a particular game, they will not die or live a terrible life. So game sellers can price as they please and set reasonable terms without any big ethical issues.
There's no need for a discussion when stating facts.

That's an awesome project!

For those following, there is an entire range of home-built options out there. The most complete being quickbuild aluminum and steel tube aircraft like the kitfox, followed by aluminum parts kit aircraft like my RV-8 and the Sling from the article, and plans aircraft like the Rutan series, most notably the Long-EZ (now Open-EZ) which can still be built in a time period comparable to the aluminum kits but all you get is some plans. Then on the far end of the spectrum is crazy people like JasonFruit here who have historical and one-off designs and therefore have to do a lot of the engineering work without the huge communities built around the other designs :)

I stand corrected. There is something wrong in Wikipedia, as he's cited as working for Red Hat since 2011, while systemd was created in 2010.

I suppose that nobody could find another source than him saying that he works for Red Hat in a FOSDEM 2011 interview.

If you have such a source, I suggest correcting Wikipedia, as it may induce others in error.

Maybe it depends on how you type and rest your hand over the keyboard. For me I've had a macbook pro with touch bar for the last 6+ months and it hasn't gotten better at all. But in all honesty it's not just the touch bar, it's also the extra sensitive touchpad. For example you may notice extra spaces int his message or spaces in the middle of the words, that because of the touch pad, I think (I can't even be sure of what's going on but I've never had any typing issues like this in the past 30+ years since I've been using computers, starting with really crappy non-PC 8 bit computer keyboards all the way to fancy gamer keyboards).

It's not getting better over time, it's forcing me to constantly have to correct my spelling so now I just keep typing at a minimum on this computer and I'm waiting to get rid of this crappy device at the earliest possibility.

There was a study not so long ago. The alcohol will kill all the bacteria, but the first to return are all the nasties, and there aren't any good bacteria to keep them in check. You basically destroy the balanced ecosystem on your hands.
I think it irritates me for the same reason I get irritated by American English speakers calling soccer “football”, or by people using a dieresis when writing “coördinate”.

Basically, it’s rare enough that it doesn’t sound natural and therefore comes off to me as an affectation, and makes the person sound weirdly smug about being “technically correct”.

I really should get over it, but like I said, not really rational.
That's an entirely unfair characterization. I've seen many different clubs working on many different kit planes, and they all require high-level capability, attention to minute detail, and very little or no tolerance for a sloppy or partial job. It's true that people can start these projects with no experience, but they sure don't end with no experience. Typically people that see these projects through at any level of involvement become experts in some part of the work by the end.

> Remove the local web server entirely

Thank goodness. Sanity has prevailed.

You know you've blown it when the following appears in a buzzfeed article about your software:

> open the application called, “Terminal.” Copy and paste this text: lsof -i :19421. Press enter. You’ll get a string of mumbo jumbo. Underneath the text “PID,” copy the string of numbers underneath. Then type “kill -9” (without the quotes), add a space after -9 and paste the PID string of numbers. Press enter. The server has been killed.

> I wonder if this means government accounts will be outside the purview of algorithm manipulation?

Not unless Twitter gives them so way of influencing that manipulation.

> Also, what happens to ex-officials, are they under the same rules?

No, because it only affects officials using the account for official purposes. Someone out of office can't do that, by definition.
My definition is a bit different from what I generally hear, and is based on discussions with my father, who is a structural engineer. Engineering is about making a process legally defensible. A structural engineer can stand up in court and say, "As designed, this should have stood up to all expected loads in this location," and have it be taken as expert opinion.

In the US, where engineer isn't as controlled a term as elsewhere, we use the term engineer for all kinds of roles. In, say, Canada, engineer means a professional engineer in one of the legally protected categories. You can't use engineer as a job title outside of those.

So if you're trying to talk about software engineering, imagine something horrible has happened with a system you were involved in designing (say, Therac-25). What what you need to know and do to be able to say that this failure should legally qualify as an "act of god"?

Support for add-ons will not be removed from Firefox for Android ("Fennec"). However, Fennec will eventually get discontinued (but not in the next year), because its code is honestly a mess.

So the question is whether or not Fennec's replacement will support add-ons when Fennec finally hits End of Life. And I know this sucks as an answer, but we're not yet ready to make public commitments on that front. That's not because we have bad news hidden up our sleeves, it's just... we're still working and designing and figuring this stuff out.

If you want to know more about the architectural mess we got ourselves into, and how we're extricating ourselves from it, I highly recommend reading through this internal presentation on the topic: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1MzU9q2wCwojC0kb1eVfm...
I agree that all profitable companies share similar characteristics and have a similar baseline for malice driven by profit, however, there do exist worse companies.

On the issue of "spoiled kids" there are a bunch of schools in the US that do a similar build project (typically an RV-14 LSA). It's not uncommon for more vocationally oriented high schools.
How would that work for all the hardware Apple has released and still supports that predate the T2?

For reference, the upcoming macOS Catalina still supports the following hardware:

MacBook Pro (mid 2012 and newer)
MacBook Air (mid 2012 and newer)
MacBook (early 2015 and later)
iMac (late 2012 or newer)
iMac Pro (2017 or newer)
Mac Pro (late 2013 or newer)
Mac Mini (late 2012 or newer)

Apple T1 was introduced in 2016, T2 started showing up with the iMac Pro in 2017, the rest of the lineup got it in the 2018 refresh.

> In particular, student loans

Only if we're also collectively telling people not to take them in the first place. The current culture telling everyone to go to expensive private colleges, then bitching that they're burdened with loans and not pay them, is pretty toxic.

Its should be a multi step thing.
- Tell people how bad student loans are and how they shouldn't take them if they don't have a plan to pay them back.

- Educate people on alternative, like trade schools, apprenticeships, etc. Stop glorifying bachelor degrees beyond what they are (that should and often happens even in countries where education is paid by the gov!)

- Then, yeah, start doing something to reduce debt burden on those who were affected before the previous two steps were in place.

Otherwise, if we keep pushing for school loans but then tell people not to pay them, or forgive them, it's basically free education (a good thing) without actually collectively agreeing on making education free (which is kind of sketchy)
Have you seen these places? Then taken a look at the funding for these places? Then how much this level of security actually costs? The only way to do it would be to greatly expand the TSA staff; I'm not sure you can even hire fast enough. Airports are this tight on security because they are international ports above all.

Aside from stadiums which are almost as ridiculous with their security protocols solely to get lower insurance bills (usually by contracting security staff on event day with the cheapest contractor at the time), security is shit enough at these places and there's zero money to do anything about it.

Many LA metro stations don't even have turn styles or staff beyond the guy sitting in the front of the train; people walk onto the train and sit down without paying. Bus stations are commonly just a tiny metal sign attached to something already upright. Churches can barely afford their buildings as they stand. Movie theaters, not much better situation there. These places can't even afford a mall cop.
I'm in this exact situation. I've been using this newer Macbook Pro with a touch bar and the larger more sensitive touch pad and it's been a huge hassle. I believe it's related to how people type but I've been typing this way for 30 years and it's not going to change now because of one device deciding to do things differently. I'm not even that picky about keyboards, give me a $20 cheap logitech keyboard every day over this crap.

In addition to the points about chargebacks, there's the additive factor of validating purchases on G2A. Consumer A has a successful purchase on G2A, which results in a transaction where they paid money and got a product. They had a positive experience (getting a game for cheaper than what they would pay for it elsewhere), which causes Consumer A to talk to potential consumers n both about a place where they can get the game for cheap, and to disparate the developer for charging so much when someone else will sell it for cheaper.

It damages their brand (vs. piracy, which unless you're using invasive DRM is net neutral at worst, and positive at best), generates negative sales additively (vs. net neutral to positive sales based on word of mouth advertising), and drains the development house's emotional and fiscal capital as they deal with the fallout.

It is just like the small hacks that are possible with ANY of these “require UNRELATED user interaction” things.

Like being able to speak “” when the user clicks. Or something really short or kind of unpronounceable like “,,,,”. Apple could of course try to require the first speech to always be long enough to be unmistakably speech. But otherwise ANY user interaction is enough to enable ANY speech.

The alternative would he to have dialogs for everything: “would you like to turn on the camera?” “Would you like to let this website use speech to text?” “Always remember my choice for this domain”.

Seems giving the user a master switch that overrides things, and letting websites detect this and complain, doesnmr have many downsides but has tons of upsides.

And then of course there is browser fingerprinting. It’s now really hard to turn it off without breaking tons of sites that care about the width of your window (size of your phone) and your operating system, and so on

Assuming your point was you can because you've become familiar with hitting F9 on a keyboard from your experience with Bethesda games, a better question would be: can you hit the F8 key without looking on a MacBook Pro (without Touch Bar), the laptop in question with an OS that doesn't play Bethesda games?
