Maybe this campaign was as primitive as they let on. It's likely that bringing down a terrorist group's marketing campaign didn't need or warrant a sophisticated attack, like sabotaging Iran's nuclear programme with Stuxnet did. A concerted attack effort using public knowledge techniques may have been enough.

It's in the interest of cyber-warfare actors to not expose their capabilities unnecessarily. Although efforts are taken to prevent malware from coming to the attention of enemies / rivals, or even being adopted by them or criminals, deployment always comes with that risk.

> If you google around, you will find lots of studies on that subject have already been done, and most of them find, that open offices are for the most part are less productive.

If you Google around, you will find lots of studies that tested which office style you should force everyone into, without considering the possibility that forcing everyone into the same office style might be a bad idea. That doesn't address my point at all.

> The only way to find out if you are right is to test it.

My entire career has been a test showing that I can't get much done in isolation. Open offices work great for me, and at this point, I will not take a job that requires me to work in isolation.

Again I'm going to ask: why are we forcing everyone into one style of office?

I always felt this stress, but living a pedestrian lifestyle really opened my eyes to it. When you're a car, every car is a risk sure but ultimately a collision is just an "accident" and most accidents aren't that bad.

When you're a pedestrian, every distracted driver could be the end of your life. A collision means certain death if the car is going fast enough.

A lot of my preferences on urbanism have come from realizing that the more convenient you make things for people in cars, the more dangerous and inconvenient you make things for the people outside cars.
I have a large set of American Apparel Hammer t-shirts that I bought about five years ago. I wear them every day. I bought a few more once I heard they were going to the dogs, but the quality had dropped dramatically.

It's a big shame that they went to the dogs, as I've been unable to find any other t-shirts since which match the following criteria:

1. Heaviness of fabric
2. Generous, stylish cut (i.e. not skinny as fuck)
3. Well-sewn
4. Retains colour even after five years
5. 100% cotton: retains shape even after five years

If anyone can make a recommendation that is available in the E.U., I would greatly appreciate it. In before Hanes Beefy-T. They do not match up.

I've solved the socks and shoes part of the equation. Sadly, I have yet to solve the trousers part of the equation. I recently had to resort to getting vintage Levi's jeans from the 80s. It was impossible to find anything with a pure enough fabric, generous enough fit and which was heavy enough for a reasonable price.

Socks: I buy from the Falke Family series. 94% cotton, quality fabric, comfortable and long-lasting. Not made from sweaty, 50% synthetic crap.

Trainers/Sneakers: USA-made New Balance 990. Comfortable. I managed to get nearly a year of near-daily use out of them. Expensive compared to most other trainers, but well worth it given how quickly similar shoes disintegrate.
We had outdoor school in the (I think it was) 6th grade when I was a kid. This would have been early 90s. 4.5 days, slept in cabins. Parents came to visit on just one of the days. It rained. It was muddy. We got cold. But we learned a lot.

It was a good time.

There used to be a flood of pretty basic programming blog entries written by ESL programmers in lots of the programming feeds. They almost seemed like homework assignments or flawed attempts to gain industry "cred" as an expert.

Thread safety is something that needs to be touched on constantly, and it's smart to write your code such that it would be thread safe. Because otherwise, it just looks like a normal function call. And it could take someone ages to figure out why everything is breaking if they were to actually use that example.
I delivered food while in college before the rise of delivery apps and it was _awful_. Even with grubhub - each restaurant was responsible for hiring and managing its own delivery staff.

If the restaurant I was delivering for wasn't busy? I made bad less money (the people I worked for were pretty solid; you made tipped hourly + tips or non-tipped hourly during the shift, which ever was greater). If it was too busy I would be run ragged and my tips would go down as it took longer to complete orders.

To make more and more consistent money, some friends and I would 'game the system' to a degree and each be working 1-2 restaurants in the same business district at the same time. We would trade orders back and forth based on where we were going to make trips more efficient and split the payout pretty much evenly (if someone had a hard delivery or something, they might be given a bit extra).

If the restaurants knew we were doing this they would probably have fired us.

My shifts were fixed; ie I had the sunday evening and tuesday evening shifts every week. I was at the whim of overall demand; slow nights means less money. Most importantly; I could be fired.
> But what about a more precise announcement like: "I'll be writing a book on Topic X, which I plan to publish 15 months from now, and I'll be completing one chapter on the 25th of every month until then"? Now we've got intermediate deadlines, and deliverables, and at least the first stirrings of a coherent plan.

As a data point, if I did this, it would probably make me much less likely to work on it and very anxious about the whole thing.
I don't know about running, but I've been using the same pair of Nike Frees for about 3 years. I do cardio, weight lifting and bodyweight exercises for an hour a day, 5 days a week.

Then again, maybe I'm wearing them longer than I should. I often go years without buying any new clothes and still wear clothes from when I was in college 20 years ago.

You could be entirely right about planes. But... Here is what I know! We're still largely using 1940s tech when it comes to many planes.

Aside from spaceships, planes are the most likely to kill you when something goes wrong. So I think that's why they are slow move to new technology.

So maybe fuel cells are the way to go. Maybe hydrogen. But, I still kind stick with the idea that if the tech was out and fully worked out today, in 40 years, there will still be planes flying around on piston drive ICE drinking refined kerosene.

I don't think you know what you're talking about, with all due respect.

The old Hawaiian religion was suppressed about 200 years ago, not by outsiders, but by the Hawaiian monarchy itself. Whether or not that was a good thing is a difficult question. The old social and religious system was extremely oppressive, with a dominant priestly class. The religion involved human sacrifice and strong strictures on behavior that people nowadays would find very troubling. The decision of the Hawaiian monarchy to break the power of the priests could be viewed as positive, as far as it allowed greater social freedoms to most Hawaiians.

You say that the new practitioners of the religion are essentially just coming out of hiding, and practicing the same religion they've privately held for a long time, but that's not entirely true. Some of the central claims they make about the religion (e.g., Mauna Kea as the most sacred place in the religion) just do not square with what's known about how it used to be practiced. Other elements, such as "kapu aloha," are clearly very recent inventions. It's very naive to just ignore the entire political context of the religious revival (the Hawaiian independence movement and the attempt to create a separate national identity) and the historical evidence about the religion, and accept all the claims made about the religion by the leaders of the anti-TMT movement, who just happen to be independence activists.

Thank you friend for that perspective. I have read the Islamic perspective of these matters. We Christians also worship God alone, we have that in common with you. We just believe that Jesus was truly God, while being the Son of God also. This is why king David speaking by the Holy Spirit says "the Lord said to my Lord, sit at my right hand," calling his descendent Lord. This is the Trinity and we admit it is a great Mystery that we cannot ever fully comprehend. But our belief in this is founded on the Resurrection. How could over so many people, many of them who followed Jesus for 3 years straight, including his own mother, confuse Jesus with someone else? And more to the point, how could Jesus show up to all of these same people, totally over 500 people, with holes in his hands and feet and side, and them still believe he was crucified and yet glorified, if he wasn't both?

Hi. This was very nicely written. I certainly understand that thinking regarding the big picture.

However, IMO, the SAT adds another variable for contextualization of these inequalities in the American education system, regardless of if the SAT itself is unequal.

Structural inequality in higher education is a whole different ballgame, and is much more complex. As someone who went to a public college, and then got to see what life was like at Ye Olde Ivy colleges and schools like Stanford/Berkeley, it's pretty apparent that there were some structural decisions from the top down that facilitated that success outside of even the economic differential between schools/programs.

Very tough things worth thinking about. I don't think that people treat standardized testing as some all telling oracle, and if they do, I believe that they're mistaken. I remember that our school offered something called the PLAN? which was like the PSAT for the ACT. The career advice it gave me based on my results was that I'd be good at landscape work.

I've never defined myself by my test taking capabilities but I will admit I always felt a little affronted upon reading everything from the movements that seek to de-legitimize all standardized testing. I felt that something I specifically chose to gamify and study for was being increasingly seen as a negative signal.

Life is tough man. I hope people succeed regardless of if they even go to college or not. With that in mind, I also hope that perhaps there can be a cultural shift that facilitates scoring better on aptitude testing because perhaps that may be a signal about our society, even if that is not a perfect signal.
>I believe the "confederate rebel" idea is a source of pride for some groups and is ingrained into their culture. Sometimes that may be mixed with antiquated and racist themes, but they're not always the same thing.

Yes. They believe the Civil War was really about states' rights and independence from Federal authority, and that slavery was just an incidental part of that greater struggle, and that their culture represents the last strain of "pure" (politically, not racially, but also kind of yes racially) American culture reflecting the original intent of the founding fathers, before the Federal government started its slide into totalitarianism.

It's a lie, but like all effective lies, it's half-baked in truth. Yes, the Civil War was about states' rights... the right of states to own slaves. Yes, Southern forces fought, often valiantly, for their independence... from anti-slavery laws. Yes, there were issues other than slavery, specifically, that caused the South to secede. Every one of those issues inevitably intersects with the institution of slavery at some point.

The lie is that it's possible to somehow extract Southern culture from its racist roots, as if slavery and its legacy can just be ignored and set aside as not really pertinent, when slavery was as foundational to the South and its culture as anti-Semitism was to the Nazis.

Sure, Hitler designed the VW Beetle and the Nazis built the Autobahn (but not entirely), but that's no reason to fly the swastika in your window.
