Its a pet peeve of mine that the GNU/Linux world is 99% of the way to an incredible degree of security but distros are totally disinterested in going the last mile, often because its a lot of boring work.

Mandatory Access Control should have been game changing in the security sphere, especially in the era of cgroups. Fine grained permissions controls in the kernel and filesystem would stomp out almost all potential malware vectors - both exploited software and injected binaries. GUI desktops could have provided UI to prompt users for unknown programs trying to access specific things and then send reports upstream of programs allowed for review. It would practically be a self-building database of program file access if done right.

But that isn't the only avenue to it. You could pressure upstream to include discriptor files in git repos of a standardized format of file access for each binary that can be used to generate selinux / apparmor / tomoyo rules. You could do it the really hard way and just have a sprint to surface test every program in official repos and generate such files yourself. Programs should almost never be accessing anything outside their XDG conf file and data dir - they should be linking libraries to provide access to other stuff (input, gui, etc) and file access should go through the system wide file picker.

As it is right now though pretty much every executed binary on most Linux systems is allowed to do whatever it wants that it has user access privilege to. Especially because most maintainers don't want to have to bother with the complaints of malcontent software breaking constantly trying to read arbitrary files. The Apparmor profiles of SUSE / Ubuntu or SELinux of Fedora are largely written for a few specific programs, usually web browsers and file sharing daemons, rather than be comprehensive. Its such a shame that all the technologies exist and are in place to make this work (even Arch has Apparmor support in its official repos now!) but there is no willpower / capital / interest in going the last step and trying to be all encompassing in your MAC profile and then lock down unknown programs appropriately. Android pretty much does this already, its a shame desktop Linux totally skipped over this avenue towards secure desktops.

There is of course an argument that if you lock down programs with network access then thats all you need to secure your desktop but that position falters in the face of arbitrary programs being run at random that can include network access. The goal should be a default restricted profile - one where arbitrary binaries cannot do whatever they want to your system, in the context of having a comprehensive profile database of software being used that covers 99% of real world program usage and thus doesn't impose a sizable UX burden of constant usage prompts for common applications.
I think people underestimate the value in making intra office communication an enjoyable experience.

At the risk of appearing ignorant.. what exactly is the problem here? Do we trust the nodesource deb repo but we do not trust the bash script which is coming from the nodesource domain?
Clearly the Shuttle's glide ratio was exceptionally bad, which is exactly why I used it for comparison. It still flies, after all.
Yep. It's not acceptable to lament American's stance towards experts without discussing how badly the experts screwed up.
A lot of people don't use bookmarks and even when they know very well it is facebook.com they still hit search "facebook" on Google.
A great deal of advertising revolves around "brand awareness". You may not be selling a particular product to the consumer, but keeping your brand in the mind of the consumer. Understandably so, not all advertisers want their brand associated with adult content.

Where an ad is seen can be just as (if not more) important to the advertiser as the ad itself. So, if your site serves up adult content -- you can guarantee that companies with large ad budgets won't be buying ad space.
This entire blog post reads pretty terribly to me. It's yet another bing search result 'reseller' with no real pros to using it..

Users can still just choose the engine they want elsewhere. This appears to be first-launch only. Doesn't affect Firefox from the Play store either.
Ah so you mean leveraging the exploit for financial gain by using it (ransomware) versus selling. That makes a ton of sense!
Not to mention the engineering hours spent managing it.
Buy a BMW i3 used; they go for sub-20k. I live in Colorado and it’s fine all year round. If you need to drive more than 120 miles in a day then yes this is still impractical, otherwise it’s the best bargain in EV land and a fun car to jet around town in.
I’d argue the inverse - you’re fetishizing violence and the emotional satisfaction of a total victory.

As posters above argued, revolutions present copious opportunities for being hijacked by bad actors/ideologues, and very rarely produce anything other than more suffering than in the original conditions. There is strong quantitative evidence to back this, check out the report from the NECSI.org website.

Best I can tell, the significant upside of revolutions is they change the distribution of suffering, brining it to those who had before benefited, even if overall everyone suffers. I suspect this is the emotional allure of revolution, sticking it to those who have been sticking it to you. This is really a primate thing, studies with monkeys have shown that they’ll allow harm to themselves to get back at those they view causing or benefiting from an inequitable situation (as I recall the study had something to do with grapes).

Real change that produces progress requires consistent engagement over many years (know your representative, etc), individual responsibility and personal sacrifice (start a community group and build relationships, etc.), and compromise. Underlying it all is building and cultivating trust - trust is the foundation of healthy societies.

I think all those things are undermined by our current circumstances in society. These include the physical structure of communication media (social media), economic pressures most people experience (who has the time to start a community group when they’re trying to win at the grind), and current ideological climate. The first two are unconscionable and clearly encouraged directly or indirectly by and for the sake of the economic power holders’ interests. This last one however is insidious and in the interest of ideological power holders’ interest. Folks like you suggest that there’s a way to have your cake and eat it too - just get angry and violent enough and poof there’s your solution, no hard work needed. This kind of, forgive me for using these words but, self serving immaturity occupies the intellectual space and crowds out people coming to terms with what’s required for real change, progress, and suffering-reduction.

Germany is usually used as an example of good tenants' rights, though. I've never lived there but my understanding is that there's nothing wrong with renting, well off people might do it too, and so it's comfortable.

Apartment living mixed with bad tenants rights is a recipe for disaster because the majority of people then end up basically living in a minimum standard hellhole that no-one cares about. See: UK private rental sector.
Can someone shed some light on why it’s reported that 885 million documents where exposed, yet only “32 consumers” had their personal information accessed?

Are they saying that millions of documents were theoretically available, but only a very small subset accessed?
Is it really that niche if it has powered Microsoft to being the most valuable company in the world?

Not sure what my conclusion is, but Microsoft is an interesting anti-trust case now that I am thinking about it.
Lync itself is decent from a UX standpoint.
But holy fucking batman, the backend for Lync is an absolute nightmare to setup and maintain. I wouldn't blame Microsoft for wanting to get rid of Lync just to be rid of it.
This thread should give some much needed perspective on all the people who assume MS is going to destroy slack. I bet slack destroys outlook before teams destroys slack.
Much is made of the "self-driving" part of autonomous vehicles, but I think "self-parking" could end up being just as significant. Imagine if there was no longer any reason to mandate parking capacity for planning and zoning purposes; you drive to your destination, and your car goes and parks itself (paying/negotiating automatically if needed), and returns when summoned via phone.
What if the anxiety seems to come from a place of the entire human society being out of balance? I pretty much think if you're not feeling anxious, you're not paying attention.

Unfortunately local government is often directly and intentionally responsible for perpetuating de facto segregation. These housing interventions can get off the ground in more liberal areas but they will be total non-starters in much of the country. The federal government has historically been forced to intervene when peoples rights are being systematically violated. Are we to believe the same officials who try to stop black people from voting will do the right thing in their jurisdictions?
For a disease with a notoriously high mortality rate of at least 25% in the best of cases, a treatment that reduces this to 6% when started early enough seems like a cure to me. It just isn't 100% effective yet, and treatment needs to be started as early as possible, which is not dissimilar to a lot of other cures.
I appreciate the TLDR in the subheading:

"Instead of coming across as nervousness or worry, anxiety in men often appears as anger, muscle aches or alcohol use—leading many men to go undiagnosed"

I wish all articles did that instead of burying the lede.
I believe that they mean you can’t mess it up; a slice is much nicer than two separate things. There’s no way to get them out of sync, etc.
$100K doesn't seem like that much to me. Compare to the costs of like, having a massive petrol tank under the floor with regular maintenance, lorries filling it all the time, the amount of space required for that.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I imagine the cost of installing a new petrol station anywhere close to civilization would dwarf that.
I'm sorry to hear to hear about that! Just curious, What's better about the replying in Teams? (Disclosure: I work at Mattermost)
Well, "most users" implies a majority, which is simply not the case here, full stop. Far from it, especially if you define a user as a person who has a Tumblr account and posts content on the site.

If you consider a "user" to include non-monetizeable lurkers who were just there to view adult content, then saying "most users" is definitely still wrong, but perhaps slightly less so.

Tumblr's peak was many years ago (2013 iirc), and the very slow drop-off over time is far more significant than the recent adult content ban. If you choose not to believe me, you can go to Internet Archive / Wayback Machine and view post-per-day stats on https://www.tumblr.com/about going back a decade and see for yourself.

I'm not going to reply to this further. I know the stats, I've seen the internal stats over many years, and this is a pointless thing to argue.

Yes, a whole two months of revenue. That'll totally show them!

Much the same experience here, including the difficulty with memory which I find to be the most insidious thing. What have you found helps it, if you don't mind me asking?
This would be fixed in few releases, such a non-story.
Have you ever worked in Corporate America? Many times the decision to use something like Teams is made in an office across the country. And usually, its made with the vendor's sales team involved. This happens in government too, all the time.

You get an edict to use the software and the fun begins. I love the idea of including the CEO... have to remember that.
Big brands (i.e. the only companies with budgets that matter) are violently opposed to being associated with anything that might degrade their brand. It isn’t surprising, and it has nothing to do with morals or prudishness.

They are equally put off by pirated content, for example.
Big brands with the big ad budgets tend to be run by or depend on sales to socially conservative people.

See this line from the FAQ on Automattic's ad service:

>> "The ads tend to be broad national campaigns, rather than targeted local or topical campaigns. We have found that the broad campaigns pay better. That said, visitors from countries outside the US and Europe will often see targeted local ads."

Companies like that have to think about sales everywhere, not just in places with progressive views on sex.
That's interesting. The last time I did the math it looked like the breakeven point would be well over a decade for me (approx 4000 driven miles per year). It may be that things have changed since.

Environmental regulations. The average infrastructure project in the US spends 4.6 years in environmental review, which provides rich opportunities for NIMBYs to block the project.

Same! I even got my appendix removed and probably didn’t need it. My cardiologist is who finally told me that it was anxiety and convinced me.

I never took medication though. Just cut back on caffeine and lots of rest once I get wound up.
This is such a good news for tumblr. It's sad that key internet services like del.icio.us, tumblr, and I'm sure others got destroyed be Yahoo! But, it's good to see that some managed to stay alive and might have another life after having been Yahoo!'d
This comment couldn't be more counter-productive.

The article makes it clear that a feeling of anxiety at certain times is completely normal; it is when that anxiety is affects your daily life, causing you distress, or leads to depression or harm should it be concidered an anxiety disorder.

The article notes that men can react to or present with anxiety differently; and that representation is ignored, leading to a reduction in their quality of life. Dimissing it, as you have, is exactly what prevents men from receiving mental health support and society, at large, from recognising mental health issues in men.

>A great deal of advertising revolves around "brand awareness". You may not be selling a particular product to the consumer, but keeping your brand in the mind of the consumer. Understandably so, not all advertisers want their brand associated with adult content.

If all brands allowed their ads to appear next to adult content, then it wouldn't be any special association for any particular brand, just another outlet.

So I guess it has more to do with the historical prudery of some countries, when an ad appearing next to adult content would trigger angry letters to the editor, editorials, and so on from "concerned citizens".

That said, advertisers didn't seem to have much issue advertising all kinds of stuff on Playboy back in the day, or FHM and the like today...

Btw, jpmorgan dev team is rediculous because support is so massive the only way new projects get done is by hiring massive amounts of people / consultant firms and then lay offs.

Not saying there is a problem, I’m sure some people like to have their throat taken out when the trade doesn’t execute at markdown price.

Anyways I don’t have a problem with that type of pressured enviorment. I’m moreso pointing out people’s need for comfort of solution rather then sustainability. Getting started is more difficult so many are turned away.

Also some of the computation python can do is very powerful and I would trust it if I was no risk besides myself going balls deep.
Infrasound can cause anxiety, a good source for this are wind turbines, but its naturally occurring in the wild anyway. Stags emit it to warn females and young of predator's without giving away the location of the stag as the sound hits the ground and spreads in all direction, like you see with bass frequencies. High pitched frequencies are very directional by contrast. Disney sound engineers discovered it in the US, when they slowed down the recording of an electrical device, all those in the sound lab went home not feeling very well at all, its a fascinating story of discovery. Diet can also cause anxiety, the renin angiotensin system can certainly increase anxiety, exercise will counter the effects of anxiety, which is less common today than 50 years ago.

> They also recently went through a redesign

In my experience, this is often the cause of mysterious drops in search ranking. It's very easy to inadvertently introduce changes that negatively impact your ranking without even noticing.

At a quick glance, I noticed that many articles on examine.com link to hundreds of external references (e.g. more than half the page of https://examine.com/supplements/creatine/). In Internet Archive snapshots from before the redesign, these have the rel="nofollow" attribute, but on the current site, they do not. I'm not saying that's the cause, but it might be worth looking into exactly what changed in the redesign.

Everyone is different I guess, but here's an example from my experience as someone with pretty bad GED.

For whatever reason, I don't like crowded, enclosed spaces such as busy supermarkets. I don't feel fear and don't feel threatened by environment, but I do get irrationally irritated to the point of getting quite aggressive.

After taking CBD for anxiety I found that I was much more relaxed and just ignored other people at the shops.

I think it has a lot to do with gender roles, personality and even machismo and a question of which side of the fight or flight response you tend to fall.
> and maybe it already has been.

Not completely, but I think it's mostly OK. I only see UAC prompts rarely, usually in one of these 3 cases.

1. Some software that I've written has good reasons to require elevation, I sometimes work on low level system software which uses weird WinAPI calls.

2. When installing software. The default location of installed programs, C:\Program Files, is read only unless running elevated. Probably done for extra security.

3. When using very old software, or bad quality ports from other OSes. UAC was introduced in Vista, some software which was written for WinXP or older versions requires elevation for no good reason.

Where Did 'Jazz,' the Word, Come From? (2018)
Well said! I frequently have anxious feelings in my day-to-day life. If I were to share that with my peers I think they might be surprised to hear it because I come across as solid, well-grounded person. I have learned to deal with these feelings. I have learned to deal with difficult situations -- but some times I can't and I fumble. That's OK.

I wonder, at what point does such anxiety justify medication? Is there a measurable way of defining this disorder? (forgive my ignorance, I am genuinely curious). There are certainly cases where anxiety is clearly a disorder, but without a doubt it there are many cases where it is used as an excuse or a defensive mechanism, to avoid difficult situations or avoid one's own inadequacies. This kind of behavior is not good. They will refuse to challenge themselves by clutching to their excuse.
I skimmed so apologies if this doesn't resonate or was answered, but here in OZ we have what is called "100 points" tests which demands more than one item of ID, and not just knowing the value, but a 'what you hold is who you are' receipt from a government agency.

The burden of proof for KYC is higher basically. Not that fraud and identity fraud don't happen: we have some very famous cases of land titles being swung on wafer-thin proof of identity, which lost people significant amounts of money.

I just feel the US 'social security number' thing is a problem which is in large part of US state/federal making: you drove too hard to a single weakness. Much like your voting fraud risk, you took it too far.
Similar experience, including multiple trips to the ER fearing my imminent death. Still waiting for the bill on the latest one. The first time it happened I had dialed 911 on my phone but stopped short, fearing the impending life-ruining debt it might plunge me into. Thankfully it wasn't actually a heart attack, but the fact that people even have to stop to make a risk assessment like that is dystopian.

As for the symptoms, it is indeed astonishing how "physical" anxiety can be. Most people conceive of anxiety as just an emotional state, and think a "panic attack" is what you have when you're really nervous about a math test and get a cold sweat. The true horror of a real panic attack can't be described to someone who hasn't experienced that level of mortal terror.

And it's definitely true that once the trauma is "etched" into you like you describe, your mind can reconstruct it again much more easily. I find physical sensations that used to be mildly annoying, like a stomach cramp or post-exercise exhaustion, can summon the anxiety right back again.

The scientific evidence for the long-term effectiveness of SSRIs is dubious at best, so I'm attempting a more comprehensive life change to improve my outlook, including trying to build stronger connections with people and community. Isolation is one of the most intense causes of depression and anxiety, among other health problems, so addressing it is a good idea for anyone.
