620 lawsuits over about 10 years seems remarkably small for a company the size of Tesla. Is there an attorney who can shed light on how many lawsuits a company with a 50 billion market cap would normally receive?

Anecdotally: I worked for a company with a sub hundred million dollar market cap and they had /thousands/ of open lawsuits every year.

> Every US companies must block Iran,

This does not seem correct. Here is a short non-comprehensive list of services by US companies not blocked in Iran. The list is big enough, and the companies involved large and legally-savvy enough, that this cannot be an oversight.

* Gmail, Yahoo Mail, Outlook

* Google Maps, Waze (quite popular right now in Iran too!)

* Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive

* Github

* Google Keep

* Google Docs, Zoho

* ...

The complete list would be hundreds or thousands of pages long. Based on this, I don't think your assertion is correct. Either that, or every big US company is breaking sanctions on Iran with impunity. That does not seem plausible.
No, your first instinct was right. From the NC Dept of Ag and Consumer services, "Recently, the deaths of five cows in Surry County were linked to acute anemia caused by tick infestations."
This gives me a little hope, knowing that some societies are still raising their children rationally. While we never had anything formal like this, when I was younger we were allowed to hike into the woods with a chance of getting lost. Of course, even when I was a kid, some parents of children I went to school with were far too protective. -- Late 60s, early 70s

For more photos and videos of the triad attack, check out https://www.reddit.com/r/HongKong/

For another reporting of the triad attack, see BBC [1] and the Times [2].

It was leaked a few days ago that the government was planning to use triads to do the dirty work (See point 4 in [3] and [4] in Chinese). Using triads happened during the 2014 umbrella protest, but this time the attack on arbitrary citizens (not necessarily the protesters) is on a completely different scale: a terrorist attack.

And there are videos showing that the police “co-operated” with the triads (by turning a blind eye: arriving at the scene late [5] [6], chatting with the triad attackers [7], closing the police stations and not responding to cases during the events).

EDIT @ 1563753486: http://kentuckytoday.com/stories/mcgrath-comes-out-firing-in...

“Change Research conducted a poll of 1,629 likely 2020 voters in Kentucky from June 15-16 and found that retired Marine Amy McGrath is already essentially tied with Senator Mitch McConnell in a hypothetical 2020 general election Senate matchup, despite half of Kentucky voters not even having an opinion of her yet. If the election were held today, 47% would vote for McConnell compared to 45% for McGrath, a deficit well within the margin of error.

Ayoub added, “Senator McConnell is extremely unpopular in Kentucky, with 22% viewing him favorably and 61% viewing him unfavorably. Even among Republicans, roughly as many view him favorably (40%) as unfavorably (39%). This stands in stark contrast to other prominent Republicans like President Trump, who is overall well-liked in Kentucky (58% favorable, 40% unfavorable) and nearly universally beloved among Republicans (92% favorable, 4% unfavorable)."

We have access to storage space in the roof through a door in the back of a closet (only hidden by the clothes hanging in it) - we call it the "secret passage" - our kids always won at hide-and-seek when their friends came over (well at least the first time)
And the Yuen Long Police Department building closed its front door gate 15 minutes before the assailants appeared, and sent in the cops 30 minutes after the assailants left the station. Also one of the pro-China legislators was videoed shaking hands with 1 of the assailants' leaders thanking them for 'saving Hong Kong.'
Couple with the riot cops now hide their faces behind masks, and assailants hiding their faces as well. Watchmen, anyone?

> Why would the CIA actively help the chinese government?

The CIA was running large segments of both sides of the uprising that resulted in the Mossadegh government being swept out of favor and replaced by autocratic rule by the Shah of Iran.

The involvement of the CIA on one side of a conflict sometimes isn't to make that side win, it is to assure that that sides behavior fits an intended pattern which serves the desired outcome.

1. Your previous comment only mentioned PlaidML.

2. The parent comment was about translating existing code written in CUDA to be used on an AMD GPU, not about developing new software- if it were about developing new software, they'd be starting from scratch with 01.org tools, which is what everyone wants to avoid. 01.org doesn't have any translation tools for this.
I don't think the NIST curves are backdoored, but they obviously have some serious theoretical and practical issues. [1]

As far as I know, neither of these issues is relevant to their usage with ECDSA (although invalid curve attacks should be a good enough reason to avoid using these curves with ECDH completely), but experience with SHA-1 and RC4 has thought us that algorithms with theoretical problems are likely to be practically broken sooner or later.

But NIST curves are not even the main issue with the ES* algorithms in JWT. The real issue is ECDSA:

1. Verification is slow. P-256 is about 2-4 times slower than Ed25519 [2]. This kind of speed hit may often be unacceptable.
2. Nonce reuse is an issue. The PS3 implementation was extremely bad, but random number generators can often be broken. This is not a theoretical issue - it used to happen verify often with docker containers until recently. There are alternative schemes that allow using ECDSA with a deterministic synthetic nonce [3], but this is not supported by any JWT implementation I know of. Ed25519, on the other hand, uses a synthetic nonce.

While the Iranian regime is somewhat less than perfect, the US has no business interfering in that region. The establishment reason for tensions is to protect (nuclear armed) Israel and oil (with some other knock on oil based relationships like SA). Guess what though, Israel has nukes and we desperately need to stop using oil as soon as possible. Why not just drop sanctions and stop tearing up perfectly good nuclear deals?
It is not uncommon for agent based models to lack on the side of good engineering practices. Given that the majority of these softwares are programmed to use and throw.

Discourse has the only implementation of infinite scroll that I've ever seen consistently preserve state over a reload. Either everyone but them is incompetent, or it's much more difficult to do well than it seems.

Beating armed police and destroying empty buildings is definitely morally superior to beating unarmed metro passengers, and that's not even getting into the motivating causes (freedom from authoritarians vs. enforcement on behalf of authoritarians).

Web apps making async requests should be making much smaller requests than loading the whole page - but they're not. They're loading a page and parsing out the "less than the page" bit to stick into the current page; or they're loading a JSON blob bigger than the current page to update the three visible elements on the page.

Imagine Software Engineers that actually engineered solutions - the use of small async requests would be a boon to everyone! But no one's doing this.

I know first hand of one company doing this nonsense with requesting a full JSON payload (describing the whole house that goes along with the proverbial kitchen sink), rather than requesting updates for the one property on the user's screen. I've proxy-sniffed at least two other, unrelated companies doing exactly the same thing.

I'm not sure about "super-fast" since, every time I visit twitter w/o JavaScript, I'm forced to click thru the message:

And this annoyance persists. Click on a twitter link within the twitter website and you get the message again. And again. It's definitely a dark pattern meant to annoy you into enabling JavaScript.
But which is the more likely causes of this: That TSLA is the victim of an evil coordinated effort to cause the company to take, or just that 30% of the market genuinely believes they're overvalued.

they're built to sell advertisements and collect data. That's much easier with an SPA than a SSR app

How easier? By dint of additional JS that an SSR doesn't have/need? Not sure how pulling a header nav (or any cell/element) from a server on pageload plays into that, but even today I've watched sites (plural) loading, pushing loaded parts all over the page for 30sec until everything settles down. Maybe blogs aren't quite so affected by this set of popular dark- and anti-patterns, but even so the post is almost always the last thing to load. Presumably, the monetization and data collection takes precedence over all else.

All politics serves a policy goal, and all policy exists in a political context. The two are inseperable.

Moreover policy pursued for political ends becomes a policy goal simply by the action of the propaganda it initially serves; appeal to racism was about politics more than immediate policy when the Republicans adopted the Southern Strategy in ’68
Good analysis. I hadn't thought of the lack of consent angle (though information leakage / hacking from phones renders them able to do similar things).

No, this is not what I'm saying. Nobody is asking you to store passwords in cookies.

JWT is just a badly designed standard which like many other badly designed standards (XMLDsig, older versions of TLS) can be used safely if you choose the safest subset you can and tread with care.

But there are faster, simpler and more secure replacement for JWT nowadays like PASETO. If you can, you should use them.
It is sad the sanctions have that side effect. Hopefully it’s enough to affect some change in a hostile country led by an oppressive elite.

Dear Iranian devs, let's learn to take advantage of the situation instead of complaining about it. Why not learn from the devs in China?! To my knowledge, China blocks no less online service than Iran. China monitors citizens' online activities in ways that very few other countries can. Yet their internet services flourish and engage users in ways nowhere else is seen.

Let's build/clone fancy/popular services locally instead. Haven't we seen how big opportunity that is financially? Doesn't that bring freedom from both the controlfreak regime and sanction-imposing regime?

Shorting a stock is not just a statement that you think the stock is overvalued. It’s a statement you think the stock will soon drop, because each short costs money and expires.

Eventually being correct is useless. If for example it performs poorly over the next 20 years and never actually drops you will lose everything.

In general, the CIA or any similar agency might "help" any government to either commit, or appear to commit, an act which is nominally "against" a popular movement, but which (through heavy-handedness, brutality or some other characteristic), ultimately provokes outrage, turns worldwide opinion against that government, and weakens its position or ability to get things done, or even, topples it. I'm suspicious this was done to Mubarak in Egypt and Yanukovych in Ukraine.
I never see stories about Ford's current lawsuits, or GM or Chrysler. I'm curious what goes on behind the scenes to get stories like these published and pushed out onto social media sites across the globe. Must be a pretty expansive operation because I see it every week, same stuff week in and week out. Is it true that other companies don't have disgruntled employees? I find that difficult to believe.
It might be about Strait of Hormuz which is a strategic point [1]. Iran and Oman want to have full control over their coastal waters, but "civilized world" doesn't want that because in that case they could for example forbid entering Persian gulf to warships of specific countries, or for merchant ships. So the civilized world wants Iran to play by their rules.

Quote from Wikipedia:

> A third of the world’s liquefied natural gas and almost 20% of total global oil consumption passes through the strait, making it a highly important strategic location for international trade.

Here is another quote from [2]:

> The United States under Ronald Reagan imposed new sanctions in 1987 after Iran's actions from 1981-1987 against U.S. and other shipping vessels in the Persian Gulf and support for terrorism.

Also Iran is a rich and large country with 80M population that could take a leadership in the region unless stopped by sanctions.

But that is my personal opinion not confirmed by any proofs.

It seems you think on a way too high level of abstraction: bunches of people, broken countries (nobody can and will fix them anyway), percents of people in need. What I invite you to do is to imagine yourself in the role of a particular individual facing particular circumstances. There are many kinds of situations where there is just an illusion of choice. If they give you a choice to chop your head or your hand off you may end up being officially a person who has volunteered to chop his hand off but in fact this is going to be a kind of bullshit pretty easy to recognize and equally easy to ignore when it's not about you and you don't really care much.

You may disagree but I hope you understand why I refuse to equate an person who has not left the country after their residence license expiration to a violent criminal or a crazy person speeding around risking innocent people's safety for sake of their madness.

I actually blame the old guard for not putting in enough time and energy to mentor juniors. It didn't have to end up like this.

As for whether an SPA is harder or easier, that's not really the relevant dimension. You should not be making technology decisions for your company based on what your new junior devs are comfortable with. They will actually level up faster if they are forced to take what they've learned and apply it to something they weren't working on in their nine-week intensive.

Meanwhile, there's nothing "easy" about React and co when you factor in the layers of abstraction and bikeshedding involved in a typical full-stack deployment today. Compared to when I learned, you suddenly have to also be confident with bash, git, docker, AWS, postgres, webpack, and the whole concept of a virtual DOM before you even start modelling your data or thinking about state transformations. Now go compare that to the original Rails "blog in 15" video and you'll have a hard time claiming that anything is easier. The drop in developer ergonomics over this golden era of JS tooling is stunning in its unneccesary masochism.
