> But I don't see how security cameras, or at least the video doorbells, are more dangerous than all of the other things we've just already accepted, like constant tracking of our positions via smartphones and our online browsing habits.

Things add up, that's all.

Before, you had the danger to personally be tracked in an area around you and listened to.

Now you add a device that can get sound, image and movement of anybody in a zone, and possibly extrapolate their position and potentially face recognition.

The phone story is bad, very bad. But at least we can switch it off, not take it with us, etc. When you walk in the street in front of those camera, you have no choice but to be spied on.

The sum of all the phones + smart speakers + e-health devices + Ring-like products has a deadly potential for democracy. Their coverage is monumental.

Right now we feel like the benefits are huge, and the cost minimal: most people are not affected in their daily life by the surveillance, or at least not in a way that is annoying enough. So we accept it.

But the issue is not about what it does right no. Just like climate change, it's about what it can do in the future.
I'm not sure Deepak Chopra is the best representative for such ideas. Donald Hoffman or Bernardo Kastrup make a much more serious case.

But still, the number one unverifiable prediction is that there is a thing called matter that exists outside consciousness and that somehow, consciousness emerges out of it. Nobody can prove matter exists, nobody has ever had a direct experience of it, and nobody has any idea how consciousness could come out of it, yet it's still the default hypothesis…
The problem is many have been living for generations without any documentation. How are they supposed to prove?

Artificial Lawyer Readers’ Predictions for 2020
That's like saying 911 (US equivalent of 110) should be "nine hundred and eleven" instead of "nine one one".
This is completely wrong.

It's very difficult to drive across the border without passing through US border security. And, being sneaky near the border is a good way to get arrested by either side.

US law enforcement works closely with Mexican law enforcement and both countries have an agreement to extradite to the other people who aren't their own citizens semi-automatically.

https://mx.usembassy.gov/our-relationship/policy-history/law...

US law enforcement operate much more in Mexico than in Canada. A lot of the time it's DEA agents working with Mexican police and military on operations funded and supported technically by the US, but the FBI also gets involved.

At many levels individuals in the Mexican government will corruptly hide criminals from the US. But you can't just show up and say you want to join the club. That takes connections.

In my org we have Teams and Slack (and Skype for Business!). Corporate (and our one token diehard Microsoft fanboy) gave a weak effort at pushing Teams, but everyone was already on one of the other two so for us Teams is just sitting on our computers like an appendix that's useless but also just enough effort to cut out that it stays in.
Yup. Historically, because of a long tradition of practices such as jizya, historically (now it varies from country to country) there tended to be much more tolerance of "lateral" religions such as Christianity and Judaism in muslim lands than other sects of Islam, which were considered dangerous heresys. South Asia was kind of unique because there was often muslim sultanate leaders over very large non-muslim populations, and that forced a sort of realpolitik tolerance.
Why is this downvoted? This is an openly true fact. The president literally tweets about the China trade deal to manipulate the market up and down.

On top of that, the president and all of congress literally cannot be convicted of any crime while in office and they pretty much all engage in massive and rampant insider trading.
That last bit sounds like the open source spirit we see in software is somewhat manifested in the hardware world.

> Measurements cause it to occur.

Ok, but what's the objective physical distinction between a measurement and a non-measurement?

> What causes entanglement to occur?

Various specific kinds of normal physical interactions, the details of which are an established part of QM.

> After the measurement I’m not in a superposition of the two entangled states but in one of the two

What would you expect to be different if you were in a superposition of two states?

> I do observe the photon in a particular spin state

Sure, because your state is entangled with its state. That's the normal, established behaviour of entangled states.
I keep seeing you blame any downvote you get on external factors. To me it looks like you're just trying to find excuses and cannot accept that people may be downvoting you for legitimate reasons.
If you need support for OCGs (layers) or want to do additional markups or manipulation then you need a real PDF reader.

Consider how architects and engineers would use PDF plans of a high rise building.
we need instead to fix laws around sensible data handling and criminalise it/managers that skirt around them, current laws are too vague, outdated and don't provide enough reparations to get people whose data was compromised to actually litigate them
> Why do people need PDF readers anyway? Chrome browser and all the major OSs ship with one.

Because:

- Lost of places on the web, in particular official pages of various government institutions, are still stuck in the age of recommending Acrobat as required to open PDFs.

- Default readers, much like browsers themselves, are woefully inadequate for anything other than casual reading. In case of PDF, it's something where you'd like to be able to edit PDF forms and have a working annotation functionality.

Myself, I use a third party PDF reader on Windows (Drawboard PDF), because it's very touch and pen friendly - and I like to annotate my PDFs, for which a pen-capable device is extremely well-suited.
No they aren't; airbus has a stake in one of Bombardier's aircraft lines, that's all.
Regarding deploying servers that you don’t have access to, you could deploy them with a boot loader that netboots signed images, require a certain number of developers to sign each image.
I’ve considered something similar for deploying k8s workers - just a ramdisk that encrypts local storage with a random key, then requests admission to the cluster.

Troubleshooting is harder, but I can imagine a fault reporting component that anonymises error reports and uploads them to a public-visible tracker. If something looks like a hardware failure, take it out of the infra and boot a traditional OS to do some diagnostics.
Oh they sure do but i don't think "improve their bottom line" actually affects that many people comparatively and those who it does affect's wealth is relative and not that easily budged by the fact that people with more purchasing power being able to circulate more money, people with better overall health being more productive, etc is better for the economy.
At least not if it has to come from their pocket in any way.
Many European governments subsidise (tax breaks or direct funding) TV and film related to their country, in order to promote their culture, language, industry and for tourism.

In some cases it's a region within a country, such as Yorkshire: http://www.creativeeuropeuk.eu/other-eu-funding-case-studies...

It does seem Denmark doesn't need to do this at present.
My honest opinion is that they are just whining. Considering how well the Danish television industry is doing, it seems like they aren't short on cash. Danish films, on the other hand, has definitely taken a back seat to television production.

When they say other countries do more funding, they are not wrong. But we don't talk about Czech film/television production in the same way we talk about the Danish counterpart.

There are plenty of film makers out there who still think television is beneath them, and I am sure some of those film makers are Danish, and they therefore cannot cash in on the Danish television success.
In the article they mention The Rain, another popular one is The Bridge.
There is also a list here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danish_television_drama
I didn't mean necessarily you'll break the crypto primatives, more that these kinds of systems can interact in weird ways if you don't go through everything very carefully.

How do you set up the chains? Do you mean?

You ---[vpn_1]---> your server
server ---[vpn_2]---> ISP

Or do you do

===[vpn_1]=====
You ----[proxy_server_1]--- ISP
===============

Or differently? There's no way to tunnel a VPN in a VPN COTS.

Off the top of my (nonexpert) head, some adversaries can try a bunch of different correlation attacks and if they can associate your traffic with any of your VPNs they can work to track your transactions to pay for it. So having more VPNs gives them a greater chance of being able to access the data of one and a greater chance of you screwing up the anonymous purchase of one.

Also I'm pretty sure you mostly have to trust the last VPN in your chain anyway. So why not just use only that one?
Looking Back: WWIII Remembered
It's actually a very old idea in Eastern philosophy called "non duality" : everything it but one big consciousness. Sam Harris of all people should know.

Deepak Choprah is clearly not the right person with which to discuss such things, and debating him is just Sam Harris being full of himself or a publicity stunt, not an actual serious look at these ideas.

They will be when people discover creative new ways to abuse them, but it doesn't even needs to be a "compelling target". Some people simply think browsing cameras on the internet is fun.

All marketplaces have these problems, I would argue. If they don't, it's probably just because the "scammers" and product "spammers" haven't found it or focused on it yet.

As long as you let such individuals into your marketplace without any oversight or data-cleaning requirements, you will have this problem. It's like email and spam all over again.

I watched a few episodes of The Rain and while it has impressive CGI, the acting is school-play level. The Killing or Borgen though a bit older are much better IMO. Also, while even older, Lars Von Trier's The Kingdom is fantastic tv.

>Mattermost isn’t any kind of a competitor to free-tier Slack

Mattermost isn't intended to compete with Slack's free tier.

The open source version of Mattermost is focused on software builders and operators who want a flexible, open, collaboration platform that works with their tools and workflows. Here's more on Mattermost Chatops as an example: https://mattermost.com/blog/introducing-mattermost-chatops/

Very often we're deployed in high security environments and private clouds where internet-based services can't easily go.
This doesn’t reflect my impression as a Northern European. The criticism and sentiment has certainly stepped up in the last year, probably in part due to focused efforts by US authorities, but it’s been quite vocal all along. Famously, Norway was in the doghouse of China for 7 years after giving the Nobel Peace Prize to Liu Xiaobo, and government officials discussed human rights issues with Chinese officials up until that point. The media covered this in detail, along with the human rights abuses in question.

Maybe what you’re describing is true for the United States. I wouldn’t know.

Does anyone have legal experience and know what the restrictions are to forking of the Mattermost project?

I'm a programmer with experience in backend development and security and would be willing to donate some time to work on developing a stronger community implementation of Mattermost - only I'm not sure what the legally correct way is to go about it. What I'm hoping to find is a FOSS sherpa to help me navigate setting up a new project.
It's an ERC20, which means they're generally tradable on uniswap.exchange (and this one is).
It just didn't always behave and syntax highlighting didn't work at all sometimes; but it may have been that the system as a whole was misconfigured.
The only thing I have a problem with on this is the rubber coating on the metal plate. It's not sticking any more to the one I have at home. It seems like it's not a problem with the Plus but since I didn't know it even existed before your comment and I bought 2 of the normal ones (in case they go out of production...I have large hands and there are not many good products out there), it's not a solution for me.
To go even further, "particles" are also a construction of ours, a representation of an even more "diffuse" reality.

"Spacetime is doomed. There is no such thing as spacetime fundamentally in the actual underlying description of the laws of physics. That is very startling because what physics is supposed to be about is describing things as they happen in space and time. So if there's no spacetime, it's not clear what physics is about." - Nima Arkani-Hamed Cornell Messenger Lecture 2010.
Apologies, I had no idea. I was simply placing a variable for "insert workplace here".
Agree completely. I'm choosing to not make my leap of faith trusting a scammy VPN provider after they publish plain text files that claim they're really good people at heart.

Maybe I'll make my leap of faith trusting someone with a little more at stake, and a reputation for being trustworthy.
Unlike the OP game, pair Go is actually a handicap for the paired up side rather than an advantage. You only get one brain per move, and that brain might be forced into using a strategy it doesn't like by previous moves.

I think "local" stores are massively shooting themselves in the foot here immensely. Half the reason most people order online is due to price. So perhaps the "local" stores should be advertising their products online so people can see the price and make the call to just go there.

But no... They hide the price because they want me to come in so a salesman can dazzle, confuse and up sell me to buy something else.

To be fair, they also don't want to put their prices online because it means they'd have to compete with other physical retailers on price instead of relying on rash purchases by buyers that are driven by time and location constraints.
No it doesn't. It proooobably actually costs way more in Holland because of higher taxes and govt fees on everything. Hidden (tho not very well) costs and price.
If you're letting arbitrary attachments in and allowing arbitrary executables to run then Sally is the victim of gross incompetence.

Everyone has jobs to do and they can't do them effectively if you need them to think through information security for every interaction. You have to build the rails and create a safe work area. User education is truly the last layer because if everything fails maybe the user will remember something we said.

Rogue employees require a lot more traditional security and trust. Someone could always just physically destroy company property, and Sally could always approve fraudulent transactions, so you have to start there and it'll get you pretty far.

Deaths aren't really the most important stat though. Miners often suffer significant health complications over the course of their life and those are not only unpleasant but expensive.

So you're looking for something closer to injuries than deaths, but you want them to either be significant or long-lasting injuries, probably? Like, black lung may not be the same as getting crushed by a cave-in but that doesn't make it nothing...
I'm not sure the exact details of the purchase, I just know that a deadline was placed on our HipChat installation at work (it would not be renewed, and only supported until date X).

No matter how your interview experience is, keep it professional and drop them an email via an official channel, if possible include also interested parties informing them "Hey during the interview we faced issue X and I raised my concerns but it was bugging me, so to make sure I am dropping you an email with the below details, since double check better than to be sorry". Maybe recruiter was in hurry during interview and didnt give enough attention or maybe another candidate heard the vulnerability or the worst case scenario in future someone in luck found same weakness but used to damage company, instead of bothering yourself, let them deal with it.
