The thing about Donald Trump is this: Every time he utters a word or Tweets something, the media goes nuts and publicizes it. It seems completely crazy.

But remember: Donald Trump was never a politician before running for President as his first run. He was totally outgunned by several well-funded Republican rivals. He was totally under-funded compared to Hillary Clinton, who also had huge advantages in media and campaign machinery.

Yet Trump won. With his goofy, outrageous, cant-ignore-them tweets and statements. He won, 'bigly'. (Haven't heard that one in a while, huh?)

Some day, he'll be remembered as one of the most shrewd self-promoters in history. Deny it at your peril.
Same. I got mine a used iphone4 mainly for whatsapp a few years ago and it was hard doing phone support for an 80+ year old. Harder when she can't describe the ux, interfaces aren't standard (back vs cancel vs < vs x), and in modern design few things stand out as tappable/clickable. Remote access would've been fantastic.
Unicode has two additional copies of whole ASCII, fullwidth and halfwidth with the expectation that the widths would match the Han character grid (strictly speaking the halfwidth variant is somewhat redundant, but it is there).

On the other hand I think that the ugly latin fonts on chinese goods (and also the amount of completely redundant and nonsensical labels like “Fan”, “LED”...) has completely different reason: nobody simply cares about that.
Users typically want more features and lower cost a lot more than they want maximum performance. Faster builds help developers deliver more features at lower cost, so faster builds potentially have a bigger impact for users than faster software getting produced at the end of the build.
There's a bit of interview from an old History Channel documentary that has always stuck in my head. Sadly, I think the source is lost to the mists of time; this was back in the Roger Mudd era when there were no rednecks, Jesus, or Ancient Aliens on the lineup. Maybe a Modern Marvels on future weapons...

But in any case, they were interviewing a crusty old veteran of WW1, and he said something to the effect of "You can have all the planes and tanks and new gizmos, but you're still going to have some poor bastard in the mud to winkle the other poor bastard out of his foxhole and make him sign the armistice."

Usually surveillance is something parents aren't mature enough to handle. It wouldn't be a big problem if the parents were mature enough to step back and say 'is there any actual probability of actual harm here?' Unfortunately, most parents use surveillance to actively do harm. Not intentionally, of course, but parents lack a basic understanding that change and growth in maturity and capability in their children is a GOOD thing. They typically see it as their primary responsibility to prevent their children from changing, to "protect" them against the exact experiences which are completely necessary and required to induce development. Brain development does not occur automatically. It is not a function of growth of new neurons or a function of age. It is purely a function of experience, with novel experiences and intense experiences being the primary drivers. Most parents (certainly not all, luckily) are so focused on blocking things their children aren't "ready for" that they never once stop to ask themselves what they need to do to make their child ready for the thing they're blocking.

I think that is the main sticking point people have with parents surveilling their children when concerns are expressed. Especially when doing things like reviewing all of their childs text messages, web browsing history, etc, the worry is that the parent will likely seek to moderate almost every interaction their child has with another person which is a very scary overstepping of boundaries that has never even been possible before. This rises to a level that concerns everyone in society, really, as they will be interacting with those children as they grow and when they reach a premature adulthood, having been robbed of many formative experiences 'for their own good.'
I agree, Scientific American must be feeling the hurt but I don't want them to, uh, dilute their brand.

In re: EM, I have a better-than-average layman's understanding, but I'm certainly no expert. The specific thing that concerns me is the interaction of lots of sources with the urban environment. One or a few transmitters might be safe in the lab for N years' exposure, but dozens of transmitters operating in an environment with all kinds and shapes of metal and plastic and stone/concrete could conceivably lead to transients that have (relatively) severe side-effects.

I think, with examples like lead in gasoline and asbestos in insulation, etc., that we should be more cautious than we have been in the past. Especially when a given technology is more a marginal than a vital improvement to our lives.

In any event, you bring up a very good point: "... I would be far more worried about the materials used to produce modern phones and the disposal of the resulting industrial waste, ..." Indeed, there are a lot of problems "in line" before you get to "Cellphones gave me cancer!".

Cheers! Well met.

So that shows the totals. My google photos is where most of my storage is. Turns out I have 10.22GB shown at that URL, but actually 134GB of photos. Some covered by the various promises made to pixel 1, pixel 2, and pixel 3 owners.

There's no way to show the largest photo/video, no way to tell which photo is covered by which storage promise, and no way to help manage that space.

So basically it's a trap.

I likely have some hour or two video that's a big chunk of my storage, but you can't sort by size or video length.

Yes, and they're quite adept at it even if you don't think you're leaving a trace. For example: https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2014-55
Don't rely on HTTP codes for anything other than content-related status. The idea of REST (using HTTP codes and actions), in practice, has almost universally required customization/workarounds. I've never understood the insistence of REST as an API, fullstop. It's just one aspect of an API which you necessarily have to augment to leverage within a more robust protocol.

This isn't a failure of capitalism, its just due to blind optimism and lack of governance with people falling under the spell of a charismatic CEO imho. If it had worked, everyone would be saying this guys a genius.

I looked at WeWork at one stage for an office, the prices seemed crazy, I didn't understand how any one was using it, you've been able to get serviced offices for years for way cheaper. He did OK though, he gets out with a bag of cash and leaves someone else carrying the debt.

I think it is definitely possible. I don’t know of any led grow lights that make yellow tinged light, nor any reason they would want led lights with such a low color temperature. Double ended hps bulbs are still pretty efficient and I’m sure many greenhouses haven’t switched over. Gavita is a huge manufacturer and pioneer of lights like this and is based in the Netherlands.
In my native language, that is, Kazakh, third-person pronouns are gender-less.

Would market socialism have the possibility for massive financial gain by making the company IPO with as high a valuation as possible? In the end, it's that goal which caused all this. Employees had stock options probably and bought into that goal as much as anyone else. Remove the massive potential payout and everything calms down irrespective of economic system.

Typically a for profit business has three main stakeholders: Customers, Employees, and Share Holders.

And they have to balance things like salaries, price of the product, dividends to share holders (though no one really pays dividends anymore, but that's beside the point.)

A non-profit skips the share holders, and is more like a direct exchange of cash for services better two parties, without a third party taking a cut.

Actually, usually there are taxes, so the government is going to take a cut.

So share holders kind of end up acting as a tax, a tax on not having capital, but instead of the money going to the government, it goes to people who happen to have capital.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I think the other cause for inflation is that software patents can be rather dubious compared to other fields. It's easier to claim something is a patent when it is really quite trivial (example: one-click shopping). This is harder to in other fields.
I mean, your comment doesn't really deserve a real rebuttal. You just state something as fact without any supporting evidence.

At least the person replying provided some evidence to their counter-claim.

This is BS, VPN is an legitimate service and many people rely on such services to do their things, it may pose some potential security issues, but in most cases, it won't cause big harm to you even when your credentials leaked.

Just try to use a very random username and password, payment can set to pay as a VCC or one time method.
I don't know if american journalists seriously need opsec anymore, as nobody in the legit press is writing anything that could threaten the institutions they'd need to protect themselves from. Anyone doing anything dangerous today isn't going to depend on the protection of their newspaper. The only people with skin in the game are actual activists, short selling hedge funds, and maybe some edgy podcasters.

There is this odd dynamic where if you need the additional legitimacy of an old media organization to get your story out, there must be something fishy about it. Like it's a palace gossip leak, and nothing with real consequence or risk.

If your story is really worth your safety, there is the much greater risk that editors will spike it, the way they did with pretty much every major whistle blower story of the last decade. Hollywood was protected for years, intelligence leaks were regularly spiked, and often journalists themselves were complicit actors in the official retaliations. I'm sure the NYT will still have a security role of some sort, but the idea that it could actually equip reporters at a corporate level with the tools to do the kind of opsec you need to facilitate stories at the level of the Intercept, Wikileaks, and other insurgent media seems unlikely.
Nah, don't think it through. Just react. Those idiots at the NYT are so thoughtless and naive.
> How do we get 2.5 billion people to move when none has moved already — chicken-and-the-egg problem of “but all my friends...”

By migrating 'groups' over to the new platform, rather than targeting individuals to migrate. Make it easier for your most popular groups or communities on the existing platform to move over to the new network (ex. by sharing a join link in the existing group * ) effectively bringing over the 'network effect' to the new network, rather than relying on individual users to switch one by one.

* Existing platforms might not play well this strategy. I've heard of FB blocking group messages which contain invites to join rival platforms.
I usually surf the internet right before going to sleep. Reading random things. This happens because I give up the monotonous task of doing this types of problems on behalf of enjoying something. :) So, I might be ok?

Why stop with monitoring the computer? It would be easier to just plant a device to monitor thoughts and every action. Surely, this would only be used for good, and after all, it’s all about safety.

The monitoring for safety argument is merely an excuse to eliminate the right to privacy and shift the power to a government entity. Never in the history of mankind has this power ever been abused.

The other explanation is that your ISP doesn't give you a static IP, and customers of your ISP have had this IP.

Offline First web and mobile app frameworks. Not as big as social/mobile/local, but a need. Building offlinefirst web/mobile sites/apps is still a big hack.

A few years ago there was a lot of activity around creating web frameworks that made rich UI's possible, like Cappucino, Meteor.js etc.

There may be a similar opportunity now to create a full-featured, polished offline-first framework, and then make an enterprise version and/or get acqui-hired.

What children can do at what age is a direct function of how they are raised. Americans, unfortunately, have been sold on the notion that what a child is capable of is instead somehow a biological limitation. There are some biological limitations, of course, such as the inability for average children before around age 10 to perform abstract reasoning, etc, but they are very few. And those limitations are misunderstood, as well. While the truth is that a child exposed to something 'before they can understand it' will experience confusion (or misunderstanding... 'kid logic' can be amazing in the lengths to which it stretches to attempt to integrate new knowledge), it is assumed they will instead experience intense, damaging trauma. I think there is also a component involved of 'doing something is better than doing nothing' when, in many cases, doing nothing would definitely be the better solution. I don't believe there are hardly any parents who, for instance, could come across a string of 'dead baby' jokes in a group chat their 11 year old is participating in and conclude 'my child is developing a sense of humor and fitting in with a peer group.' They would instead conclude 'my child is uncaring, incapable of empathy, foul-mouthed, and I need to make them understand how serious this is.' A reaction like that, from your parent, would be devastating. They know you better than anyone. If they tell you that you are an uncaring, unkind, vicious person, you are not going to be able to step back and see that your parent is being ridiculous in most cases. You will simply be hurt, and that parent has certainly not prepared you for how to handle emotions like that. It ends up with an immature person (the parent) inflicting distress on another immature person (the child) and no one benefits.

Most people want to be independent and to have their children and grandchildren to visit as guests, not full-time caregivers. We are very blessed that we're in the position to be able to easily pop from state to state helping and can work wherever we happen to be, but at the same time, they want to live their lives independently, too.

Also, think about where caregivers might have to relocate and how they might alter their futures by spending it caretaking. I have family members who sacrificed a very significant amount of their adult lives taking care of their parents and missed out on their own lives and wrecked their own health doing it (it's hard mental and physical work, and in some cases can be very thankless).

I also know people who gave up everything to take care of their parents and ended up homeless after their deaths.

One has to wonder if there’s political reason for this decision by the NYT, given Ms. Sandvik’s early involvement with Edward Snowden. Surely this must have made for an interesting dynamic at such a newspaper.
Technology for post collapse
This is a very easy mistake to make: you configure your cache keys in one place, and process requests in another. With nothing linking them it's not at all surprising for them to be out of sync.

As for whether it requires it's on domain, domains are cheap and publicity gets people to pay attention to problems and fix them.

This sounds exactly like the "electability" arguments for candidates, which is kind of ironic. "Don't vote for Ms. Borda! She might be better but doesn't have a chance. Mr. IRV is the only one who's electable, so hold your nose and vote for IRV!" Nope, doesn't sound any better when it's about voting systems than when it's about candidates. Maybe we shouldn't be all FPTP about which system should replace FPTP.
Indeed, I'm learning towards downloading the 134GB and doing it all myself. I'm learning towards digikam for organization (tagging, cropping, organizing, etc) and then using one of the upload methods to something like piwigo (self hosted or a service). That way I have control, can have it backed up, and won't have to endure the random changes google has been making.

The weirdest of which is that pixel 4 prices are higher than expected (even higher than Apple!) and they are dropping the free backup full quality photo backups.

From a PR perspective, it is possible to pass judgement. The clear judgment here is that this move, in the way it was handled, created a PR problem for the NYT at a really poor time for it to have this sort of PR problem.

It may be that the new NYT CISO feels that newsroom, journalist, and source defense is a) critical and b) better handled by eliminating this role.

Every security person would agree with a). Given the visibility Runa had and the positive PR she created around this unique need, b) is not the outcome one would predict.

There is always more to the story than the headline, but as the NYT knows the headline is important in its own right.

Here, the NYT wrote the wrong headline.
I've seen elasticsearch clusters like this have consistency problems. Turns out it's a problem in a security setting to have an off-by-one error.
Completely disagree, but I guess we're at an impasse. I believe that companies are responsible and should be held responsible for the consequences of their resource exploitation.
