Facebook is not really an anonymous advertising system. "Cambridge analytica" is not some anonymous advertising system access either. Facebook offered personal datafeeds as they offer to large MNC customers.

This is the only way they make money using private and personal information including communication history, photos and videos to provide specific target audience feeds at an individual level with numbers to MNC customers. If it's an anonymous system and they follow the privacy laws in spirit not just enough to avoid prosecution, no one will pay them the premium. Since those anonymous statistics, company can collect on their own.
It's quite reasonable to distinguish QEMU from the hypervisor: QEMU typically runs with strictly lower privileges.

The "hardware acceleration" that helps QEMU emulate a computer operates in root VMX and non-root VMX (when actually executing guest instructions) modes. When operating in root VMX mode as a supervisor, it has approximately the highest privileges in the system (ignoring SMM), as it is operating in host ring 0. QEMU runs in host ring 3, making it a typical user mode process. If you manage to compromise QEMU (and only QEMU), you have only escaped into host user mode. In that case you haven't compromised the hypervisor, merely the virtual machine monitor.

If, on the other hand, you manage to compromise KVM (or vhost) you could reasonably claim to have actually compromised the hypervisor.

Type 2 hypervisors make this generally much uglier than type 1, but it's reasonable to say that the hypervisor in a type 2 deployment is limited to the kernel component rather than the user-mode VMM.

>when in fact it's just the act of choosing the side that's winning

In a fairly benign way, maybe. But if you want to take the moral high ground then you should be careful not to steer people, friends and family especially, into an us vs them trap which inherently forces them to militarize their position. Myself, I have no issue with people who aren't for me or against me and I have no idea how the 'for me or against me' phrase could maintain popularity in any civil society. Some people truly do just want to get through life and feed their family without the bs of others trying to coopt their minds and bodies into fighting their personal battles for often petty reasons. I get militarizing against big threats, I served my time, but there's just so many petty battles out there that's not worth wasting energy over and better left to more productive energy.

Having changed my handwriting style a year ago: when the new habit is really set, writing in a hurry doesn't reveal the old one. I actually can't write how I used to, my brain changed its wiring (and did not just acquire new "cables".)

The first few weeks were horrible though: new style not yet ingrained in the brain, old style already being forgotten.
So the C philosophy is to provide a bad standard string library that is not thread-safe and makes it impossible to write programs without remote code execution vulnerabilities, rather than have a better library with exactly the same functionality but with more security and safety "bloat"?

/snark

Yes, C used have a cavalier approach towards security in the past. But if you're asking why the standard library is not fixed yet, I think that instead of pinning it to some lofty philosophy, it's safer to say that good C developers realized long ago that the original C strings are a mistake. Most big C projects define their own string functions and often their own length-prefixed string types. The C standard committee just gave up on fixing this issue in the standard library, but this is not due to philosophy, but because of the impracticality to force a standard solution on this stage.
Your initial comment was "Sadly, a lot of people genuinely believe that everything is political"

Taiwan being a country or not, and what shows up in a google search about it, isn't political for you, or for me, or for many people around the world. It may be very political for the people who live in Taiwan (or China).

Nearly everything is political to someone. So it's not very easy to draw a hard line between political or not. A "no politics" rule is very difficult to enforce in a meaningful way for that reason.
I would definitely recommend the XPS13. I have the 2018 with the nosecam but other than that it's served me well for the short time I've spent with it.

The newer version does away with the nosecam which is the biggest improvement in my opinion. I'm ambivalent on the fingerprint scanner, but is a welcome addition. Other than these, the line has had only incremental improvements (which is great considering it leaves little to be desired)
I think this kind of thing is fine; you're not talking about functional code, just placeholder text. I have no problem with humorous names in strings for simple test cases, where no one would ever search for it, and it has no real meaning. I've done the same sort of thing myself plenty of times.
Also rsync (the one I use).
That might be the best time to take up this habit.

Write down everything you do and honor it as an accomplishment.

Getting out of bed. Reading an article about your craft. Brushing your teeth. Showering. Dressing. Reading somebody else's PR. Commenting on somebody else's PR.

Every. Single. Thing.

Attending a meeting. Having a hallway conversation. Answering an email or ten.

Not taking your own life. Surviving. Not doing other self-destructive things.

Chances are, if you are able to get out of bed (not always a given) you probably did a lot of "little" things. Those are achievements. And in your depression those things may have taken more effort than running a 5-minute mile.

Sure, the goal is to eventually accomplish more. That's fine. But honor the things you're doing.

And hey... good luck.

>If he feels bad, that's the point of guilt tripping and shaming.

At least you're open about the fact that guilt tripping and shaming is not about trying to change behavior.

Feeling bad about it usually has the outcome of avoiding the person making them feel bad about it, not changing behavior. And while I don't have any hard scientific data, the consensus in the world of negotiation is that overt guilt tripping is often less effective than not discussing the topic at all (i.e. guilt tripping increases the chance the undesired behavior will occur).

>If you don't want to be political, there are plenty of other companies to work at where people won't force politics on you for working there.

Putting the particular case of Facebook aside, my recommendation is always to avoid people who force politics onto you because of where you work. They are usually the least objective.

A rotary dial phone communicates numbers to the central office by breaking and reconnecting the circuit with a quick series of pulses: a single pulse for 1, two for 2, on up to nine for 9 and ten for 0. A longer pause separates the individual digits.

So you could either use the dial or tap the hook switch repeatedly in the same sequence. I found it fun to dial numbers by tapping the hook switch. (I guess I am easily amused.)

I lived in San Jose in the mid-1990s, and our phones were all touch-tone, but the lines still supported rotary dialing as all phone lines did back then.

We had underground utilities that sometimes flooded in rainy weather. During one bad storm our phone was barely usable - when you picked up the phone all you could hear was click after click as the water intermittently shorted out the lines.

One day there was a loud and insistent knock on the door:

San Jose Police! Open up!

I asked if there was a problem and the officers said there had been a 911 call placed from our number but the caller hung up. The 911 dispatcher tried to call back and no one answered, so they were required to come out and investigate.

I invited them in and had them listen to the phone, and explained how rotary dial phones work and what must have happened: with all those clicks on the line, at some point there were nine clicks, then one, then one.

The officers were relieved that their emergency dispatch was just a technical glitch!
Thanks for posting the interesting example of “taxation without representation”.

A couple other interesting things related:

1) One East Coast tribe was not defeated militarily. It's lands were gradually nibbled away with lawyering (zoning changes) over a period of decades.

2) During the Western Indian Wars, an equal number of soldiers and warriors died on both sides, about 10,000 each.
They put a lot of their beans into stuff that died like Atom, "12000 Worldwide, 11 Percent" of the Intel workforce was let go becasue of the Atom chip bugs and failures.

>You seem really relaxed about foreign powers interfering with our elections.

The reality is that Americans have historically been quite relaxed about the US interfering in others' elections - they do it more than any other country.[1] At least they're consistent if they're relaxed when it happens the other way round.

I enjoy using my dictionary as well, though I purchased it new at a chain store and it is somewhat lacking in cachet.

One thing I did do is develop a little script that puts 10 random dictionary words into whatever text file I'm editing, which has been helpful for brainstorming purposes. Several of my clients' ah-ha moments have been directly attributable to questions I have asked them due to these dictionary words. Plus: There's just something about coming across a neat word.

Because they have a security culture that you only get errors due to "holding it wrong" or "every good programmer does it right", despite evidence on the contrary.

Plus added the fact that early C compilers generated quite lousy code on 8 and 16 bit computers, there is this idea to micro-optimize each line of code as it is being written, without any profiling feedback of it actually matters, rather cargo cult how writting code like X is faster than Y.

For example, outside 3D rendering and audio software processing, I never saw a visible impact (to the end user) of bounds checking.

I agree that getting things like comments and search running on a static site is a lot work. But I’m of the opinion your personal site doesn’t need those things.

Rarely have I seen interesting discussion happen in the comments of a personal blog. All great discussion is held in aggregators like HN.

Similarly search is best left to specialized platforms such as a search engine. Blogging software may have decent search by why recreate a search engine when duckduckgo.com will far exceed capabilities with site: and filetype:?

For me a personal site and blog are mostly single visit kind of stops. I end up on a blog via a link but almost never do I feel the need to read the top 5 best posts of some blog. I got some interesting information from the current article but then I’m of to the next link that shows up in my feed.

In my opinion a website needs readability[0] and an ATOM/RSS feed. All the rest is part ego ("my content is so great people just have to see what else I wrote") and part feature creep.

I was given almost the opposite advice by a math teacher. Considering that speed was very important during exams, he urged us to spend no time with pretty calligraphy or presentation when turning in papers. Basically anything that could be read was good, but we needed to be fast. For example, if I'd turned in a paper with underlined text where the line is interrupted to avoid crossing the descenders of p's and g's, I'd probably have been told that it would be a good idea to let the flourishes go and be faster, since there were no points awarded for presentation. To date, I still use this advice when taking notes for myself.

Interesting that you can mentally step over the literal industrial scale evil done on people in the name of communism and make an argument for it from an academic standpoint. Does it really matter at what fork in the road led to the atrocities of Mao, Pol Pot, and Stalin if they all came from the same starting point. People deserve to be free to make their own life outside of government interference which may or may not be benevolent, that is the foundation of America and is the system most proven to provide the most benefit to people without discrimination or coercion. Anything else is just going down the same dead end.

I didn't use Windows XP or anything since. I'm now using Windows 10 due to a work situation. But seriously. The Update Ritual happens out-of-ours when you're not using your computer. It seems to take a few days longer than it needs to (why not do it tonight? why must you ask me for days and days, and then finally do it overnight?). But it's generally quite reasonable.

I don't fully understand why Linux is able to do its system updates as one of several tasks, but Windows has to take over the computer to do it though. Is it just that if a Linux box gets stuffed during update, the user is probably able to recover, so the relative risks are different?
There isn't 1 type of protester. They are spread over a spectrum, from those who are totally peaceful, to the extreme end who are advocating violence against they "system".
They also don;t have all the same demands, although they are generally in agreement of the 5 demands, however because this is a "leader-less" protest, it is hard to say which of those demands are of higher priority than others, i suspect the different factions of protests will have higher priority over certain ones.. e.g. front line protesters would probably value exoneration higher than the peaceful protesters.

But generally speaking, they come from all walks of life... There are now beginning to be more vocal anti-protest groups as well. So it's becoming increasingly a battle for public opinion. Whilst the front-line protesters have general public support, they will feel they have a mandate to continue what they are doing so propaganda machines from both sides are in full effect to try to win over public opinion.

This is tangential, but I really dislike how this YouTube channel always downloads the original video, strips it of all information regarding the speaker and the conference and uploads it to their channel. Even though the original is published under Creative Commons Attribution, it still bothers me that they 1) download and reupload (wouldn't this be better accomplished by a playlist?) 2) strip information that makes it appear they produce the content. I'm curious what other people think about this.

Anyway, here is the source [1] from their video description.

Yes.

Remember: the purpose, or at least the effect, of an education system like this is population control. In fact, general education isn't even the primary purpose of an education system like this.

Everyone knows that hinging futures on a single test means that success comes down to 3 things: how well a given person can take a test, how much money it's possible to funnel into tutors/the qualities of one's home support network, and luck. It's not about how well a given person will do in a knowledge-based position- by spending so much time teaching to a test the ability to think critically and collaborate with one's peers is severely curtailed, and selecting for good test-takers does not lead to selecting the best people for a particular job.

And the economy is too small to have enough high-skill jobs for the number of potential applicants. Contrast the US, where while applications to knowledge-based education are competitive, are certainly not matters of life and death- there's typically enough money, positions, and second chances to go around. That said, the situation was much better 30 years ago when low-skill jobs were still highly available, and the signalling war is starting to become more prevalent as the economy contracts.

By ensuring that people who will be dissatisfied by their position in society are removed from it (or to be precise, remove themselves from it with minimal effect), the system remains stable. If they do not do this, and refuse to settle for a life of poverty and abject waste of their innate abilities, they begin to act in ways that damage the stability of the society responsible for failing them (gangs, random violence, etc.).

Of course, the people who are killing themselves aren't typically the people who would do the former, so the society also selects for those who would do it harm. But that's fine, because when they act outside of the law society "becomes" justified in killing them; so in effect those who choose to kill themselves are just accepting their society's sentence of death in advance.

> Taxes on capital gains, not really.

The share of tax revenue they provide isn't that large, it's about as much as car tax. Even if they doubled it, it wouldn't really matter. Property taxes do exist, but they aren't a federal issue, they (together with a tax on company earnings) fund the local communities, the federal level is funded by income tax and sales tax, mostly.

It was mostly activists talking about it in a "if we all got together and did this world wide, it would be so nice" kind of way. I don't see that happening any time soon.
