Even if that's the case, so what? People seem to have been trying to help RMS fix his behavior for decades, and he hasn't. It doesn't matter if that behavior stems from a mental health issue or just him being an asshole. The behavior needs to stop. Ejecting him from MIT, the FSF, and the GNU Project are certainly drastic actions to remove him from places where he can do harm, but at some point, after literally decades, maybe you just give up on trying to change or moderate someone, and get them out of your life.

No, explicitly not. That is in my opinion one of the great points of the GDPR legislation. Mandatory consent is not consent at all and hence void and websites have to accept "no" as the default answer.
This helped me in quite a few interviews, and I'm only 39yo. Thanks for putting it in a clear, logic and fun way. My brain had guessed the basic mechanism, but hadn't formulated it in words yet.

For that, I humbly concede you the title of my "BS Master".
It will naturally break apart just as news media broke apart along liberal and conservative, national and regional lines. There have been and continue to be attempts to consolidate news into as few orgs as possible. But beyond a 'tipping point' consolidation fails even though it's technically and economically more efficient. Because it's socially inefficient. (Same is true of religions and nations btw as population grows differences grow too and then things break). Even in democracies you can constantly see this breakage going as districts and counties across the world keep having their boundaries redrawn.

Many newspapers have died out because the more inter networked we get it's more efficient to consolidate. Info flows around gatekeepers as the network gets more and more connected. Yet notice how we have so many news sources divided along social differences. They resist merging with each other.

Those same forces resist consolidation of 6 billion people onto a single network.

This has already happened with China, Russia, Iran, Turkey, Pakistan, North Korea etc where the differences are stark. Many countries are already demanding local data centers. As soon as that happens it's guaranteed some political entity will misuse the data to hold onto power and further pressure builds.

Give it time and few more elections where one side has to loose (we will see many more Obama/Trump/Brexit type event where one group goes viral and beats another) and the pressure on the consolidated network will keep growing from the disappointed parties. This is still early days in the history of a social network.

Niall Ferguson's book The Square and the Tower is full of examples from history of how networks of people grown, merge and break apart. Highly recommended for anyone interested in this stuff.

The condescending tone of this article does not help it whatsoever.

Not to mention the huge gaps in logic that cause it to jump from merely a misguided attempt to rail against well established conventions for interfaces to an active argument for those interfaces still being good.
Can you really know-it-all? I mean really, whole Universe with its infinity in all depth and dimension? No, this is what makes you miserable not the knowledge itself - but taking on an impossible quest and knowing it but pretending you don't know.
Hard to say, of course. It is important to buy a good quality SD card; there's definitely flakiness to be expected if you don't. The other thing is a high-quality power supply that actually provides the current the Pi needs. If you don't, that can cause all manner of problems as well.

Five Pitfalls to Avoid When Outsourcing Software Development
PSPDFKit CTO here. TL;DR on the PDFex vulnerability: The file format can carry both encrypted and unencrypted parts, which allows "injecting" malicious payload (embedded JavaScript, PDF forms that submit to remote URLs, etc) into an encrypted PDF that then can be used to exfiltrate the encrypted PDF parts, after the user decrypted the file (= entered the password).

We're currently investigating the vulnerability in detail and plan to ship an update ASAP that will allow our customers to mitigate it.

I'll be monitoring this thread to answer any questions.
IPC has improved significantly over the last 15 years. You cannot compare the raw clocks.
I was just researching about babylon and playcanvas for a hobby project I've got in mind - any additional suggestions about why one should choose one instead of the other? For info, I'm a very experienced developer, but I've never really done 3D before.
Question wasn't ok! Didn't mean what it seems to. Question I wanted to write was more about psychological predisposition to violence in US considering their serial killers.

Sure. But as they say, speed kills.

Seriously, higher latencies and lower traffic peaks likely improve anonymity.
Of course!

It's just that I think you will be attacked with a taser instead of being asked to lie still on the ground until they can handcuff you. Suspect neutralized. Or tased in the cruiser for being unruly. Except they were just angry with you. And so on. Unless tasing comes with the kind of paperwork that comes with discharging a firearm, I think it will be misused a lot.
Perhaps it's the fact that you tolerated the technical debt that got you to google scale. I've seen a few projects where developers aim for (as swatcoder so eloquently put it above) the intellectual purity of clean systems and then watch these projects fail to be delivered.

We'd all like to be a filthy rich pragmatist but I wonder just how much the 'low-quality standards' enabled you to achieve that. Seriously, I would love to be a millionaire with regrets about low quality code instead of being broke with junior developers pointing out my code smells and technical debt.
That's what I do. I actively block third party DNS and known DNS services except cloudflare and quad9, but only when coming from my raspberry pi. I haven't allowed an unencrypted DNS request from my local network in a long time. At least not that I know of. I have blocked a lot of apps/appliances trying to use their own DNS, and so far that has been enough. When they figure out that they can use DNS on non-standard ports I'm fudged.

On-hand work experience.
You're right, and in hindsight I regret my tone there.
Not really, especially when you're working with external APIs. That's when I find myself using a lot of this type of code.
Urgent does not mean the same thing as important. Urgent tasks can be important or unimportant, but what makes them urgent is that they must be done soon/now rather than later, or that their value drops greatly if left to later.

Armed with this knowledge, we can categorise tasks in four: urgent-important, urgent-unimportant, unurgent-important, and unurgent-unimportant. Urgent-important tasks are always the highest priority, and unurgent-unimportant tasks the lowest. Where it gets interesting is between unurgent-important and urgent-unimportant tasks, the former should be prioritised if you do not have time to complete all the tasks, and the latter should be prioritised if you do.
There can't be unity as long as the political leaders care only about their own small interests.

Like Álvaro Uribe. Good first mandate. Second mandate: it was all about making his sons richer, he stopped caring about the country. And now he only cares about staying out of jail.
Bob, Is that you?

Whenever I go to the pub and meet old timers still working there keep telling me funny stories about how you swear loudly every time you open a code file I've touched.

Unless you imagine some sort of industry-wide reckoning from a political/legal perspective, the industry will probably never "grow up". This isn't the sort of industry where a couple bridges might fall down and everyone suddenly gains self-awareness that it's time to be a little more adult.

Just look at the resistance on this forum to the idea of GDPR or data privacy bills. This is one of the most self-aware forums on the internet and still probably a majority of users are not only aware of who (and what) is signing their paychecks, but they actively endorse it in their personal discourse during their time off too.

It's another trade off, though: do you annoy your developers for what I believe is just a slight increase in velocity?

While I do know some developers who like (or at least get enough value from to tolerate) standup, I know many more who find them an annoying waste of time. For teams that do standup first thing in the morning, it even makes them want to go to work less. How's that for starting the day on the wrong foot?

Firefox currently shows a red crossed out padlock for HTTP sites with form elements, but not yet for HTTP sites without form elements which for now get neutral treatment. The rationale is that you definitely shouldn't be using insecure forms, what could you possibly be writing where you really don't care about at least confidentiality (to prevent eavesdroppers from reading it) or integrity (to prevent a MitM from changing it) ?

If you set HSTS and then subsequently remove HTTPS from a site it should (will for Firefox, kind of for Chrome) brick wall you, saying that it isn't able to reach the HTTPS site without offering to let you see the insecure and perhaps compromised HTTP site even if you spell out the HTTP URL.

Unlike HPKP this isn't considered a foot gun because you can fix it by just enabling HTTPS, and why didn't you have HTTPS anyway?

The biggest forward pressure for HTTPS is that newer protocol versions (after HTTP/1.1) do not in practice exist for plain HTTP. The way to do plain HTTP/2 is documented but nobody has plans to implement it, and there isn't even intent to document a plain HTTP/3 because the stuff it's built on is all encrypted from the ground up. From my point of view this is good news.

In this case I think it's the opposite: most junior developers I know are much quick (sometimes a little too quick) to ask for help when they're stuck, while a senior developer's ego might get in the way of raising a flag.

Goose-Related Crime Up 2000 Percent After “Untitled Goose Game” Release
But efficiency of 50% is great! What's even the problem about it?

Say, an average price of base load electricity of 43.26EUR/MWh in Germany in 2018 (and that is a very pricey market - country which has a shitload of renewable power) - will result, at 50% efficiency, of energy feed costs of 3.07EUR per gallon of fuel. That's only 1.7x the actual cost of jet fuel in EU as per IATA (https://www.iata.org/publications/economics/fuel-monitor/Pag...).

You should add the capital cost of device itself, but if it's used round the clock, it shouldn't add so much. And if it's not, electricity can be almost free because a lot of the time, renewable power is in excess and can be purchased from the high voltage grid for very cheap (if we are speaking of high throughput industrial units which will probably have hundreds of megawatts connected, and will plug into high voltage grid directly).

All in all, it may get fuel 2x more expensive but it's not such a big deal.

Perhaps, but you can't determine whether a system is over or under-engineered a priori. Certainly not when you are racing a clock.

These kind of assertions are always after the fact. And in hind-sight I think we could've done a tad better.

I might be less-rich, but that's not even close to being broke. And the people I hire to clean up my technical debt would hate working here less.
Google probably isn't happy I won't be using their encrypted DNS, either.

> I read it as Zuckerberg considering democracy an existential threat to FB

I don't understand how a reasonable person can read it that way.

Here's the full quote:

> That doesn’t mean that, even if there’s anger and that you have someone like Elizabeth Warren who thinks that the right answer is to break up the companies ... I mean, if she gets elected president, then I would bet that we will have a legal challenge, and I would bet that we will win the legal challenge. And does that still suck for us? Yeah. I mean, I don’t want to have a major lawsuit against our own government. I mean, that’s not the position that you want to be in when you’re, you know, I mean … it’s like, we care about our country and want to work with our government and do good things. But look, at the end of the day, if someone’s going to try to threaten something that existential, you go to the mat and you fight.

I do not understand how you can interpret that to mean anything other than that the "existential threat" is "to break up the companies". And it would be a far stretch to somehow move the goalposts to say that breaking up the companies is somehow fundamentally an aspect of democracy.

Unless you are willing to tie opposition to anything that any elected official has ever proposed as opposition to democracy itself, I guess.
Ok so everything you said, and endow people with property rights over their data. They should be able to lease access to this data to websites in turn for goods and services. They should also be able to sue for misappropriation of this property like all other property. Etc etc.
You don't need standup to have a quick private chat with your manager to tell them you've been trying to get help on something for a while but no one is giving you the time of day. Again: communication is a part of any job. If you aren't communicating, and need a daily meeting to force you to do so, you are not doing your job and need better training.

> I don't think any of "oldspace" are terrified by the Starship. I would bet they are almost as excited as SpaceX.

Not so sure about that - ESA's saltiness suggests they are not thrilled: 'Asked about how the Ariane 5 compares to lower-cost alternatives on the market today, such as SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket, Stefano Bianchi, Head of ESA Launchers Development Department, responded with a question of his own. “Are you buying a Mercedes because it is cheap?”

Ranzo, sitting nearby, chimed in and referenced the India-based maker of the world’s least expensive car. As he put it, “We don’t sell a Tata.”'

You are correct that it won't kill off oldspace, but the pressure to change will be inexorable: it's not difficult to foresee a scenario where commercial work all goes to SpaceX, apart from situations where companies are forced to use a national provider; but even then, those companies will thus be forced to eat the cost of subsidising an inefficient provider, which will lower their profits making them less competitive, etc. There could be a similar pressure when one considers military payloads, i.e., the cheapness of launching with SpaceX offers the US a game changing capability to put materiel in orbit.

I do wonder if it was really his brother who ate it. Lenin was reportedly the "worst" behaved of his siblings, and though he usually owned up to his behavior as a kid there was one incident his sister recounted in which he broke a vase and tried to deny any knowledge of the fact, but then weeks later, one random night broke down crying to his mother and admitted that he had lied about the incident. Just an anecdote from a childhood but amusing when you consider the sheer magnitude of destruction he later deliberately created as an adult.
Most nations besides the US don't subscribe to an unlimited right to speech. Hell, the US doesn't subscribe to an unlimited right to speech.

Should I be allowed to say that I think you should die for the opinion you just espoused? That is probably not a legal statement for me to make under the US principles of free speech.

Should you be allowed to say that you think I should die for my genetics or the social group that I am born into?

Glad we've agreed that while free speech isn't bad because some people say bad things, that doesn't mean that all free speech should be legal, either.

As we've thus agreed, we can absolutely restrict certain categories of speech without diminishing the actual social value of free discourse.

This idea is entirely uncontroversial in every single developed country except for the US. Nobody else thinks that "well I just want to murder all the jews but you want to suppress free discourse, looks like you have some growing up to do" is a valid position for people to take.

No, that's not polite to say, but that's where your argument ends up, and that's really the entire purpose of that argument. Otherwise - what arguments exactly do you feel could not legally be expressed in a modern first-world democracy, that actually should be expressed?

This argument literally, always comes down to someone who argues that "well I don't actually (openly) support Nazis marching in the streets, but I don't think they should be legally suppressed from expressing their desire to murder an entire race of human beings". Again, otherwise, be glad to hear what exactly you think you think people have a problem with that is legally suppressed in the communist state of Germany or Sweden in 2019.

The reality is that the laws are always interpreted by humans and a huge amount of deference is given to free speech in all but the most explicit cases. Yes, if the system becomes corrupted we have a problem, but that's literally always the case even with an unlimited right to free speech. There is no slippery slope here unless things go completely off the rails, and things can always go completely off the rails under any system.

We really, actually, can just ban the Nazis marching in the streets without everything magically turning into a dystopia. Germany has done it for 75 years.

I realize you probably think I'm overreacting because this idea always went over well at your college smokeouts, but I'm under no obligation to sugar coat this for you, I'm just being blunt: this is an occasion when your opinion is trite and shallow and you really should re-think the consequences, because it's entirely possible that your opinion gets people killed over the next decade. You're not Atticus Finch for white-knighting the right of Nazis to express hate speech.
