I have a more parsimonious explanation: Bezos was cheating on his wife and feeling guilty about it, and was paranoid about being caught. The memes which were supposedly veiled threats ... the women doesn't look remotely like his girlfriend.

Saudi Barbaria is a terrible place, and you probably shouldn't accept whatsapp messages from the scum who run it. That doesn't mean they hacked Oligarch Bezos' cell phone.

Sure, if you try with non conformable arrays, gfortran for example would tell you something like this:

Different shape for array assignment at (1) on dimension 1

Note that a scalar is conformable to any array, so that A = 2 for example would work for any shape of A, and would fill A with 2's.
There are two sentences that appear to be separable. So I don't know what you mean by "all of it". You think therapy does not provide human contact?

I think we're saying the same thing! The point I was trying to make with the second half of my comment was that a variable going out of scope isn't the same thing as the object going out scope, since other references can still be alive afterwards. The example I gave was intended to demonstrate this without using closures (since the person I was responding to had indicated that they found them confusing), and then went on to attempt to explain that the example with just objects was in fact doing the same thing as if the object were referenced in a closure rather than another object. The first half of my comment was just an attempt to respond to the statement about the object having "ostensibly been GC'd", which isn't necessarily the case even if there wasn't a closure referencing the object; in your phrasing, there's a chance that it would be cleaned up, and I wanted to make sure that it was clear that it was only a chance, not a guarantee.
The supreme court judges already stated that Gleen Greenwald cannot be investigated because the reporting. The police got this conversation from a backup kept by the hackers. There is no chance this accusation will be accept by a judge, it goes against the constitution.

Some people speculate the prosecutor was looking for exposure and might run for some position in the next election.

Aha, gotcha - this elixir server is for subscribing only. For all other CRUD operations I would very highly recommend PostgREST.

And yes, Firebase still has that concept. You can achieve the same in postgres with Row Level Security (https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/ddl-rowsecurity.html) although admittedly it's a bit easier on Firebase.

Wow! So the person on the telephone who tells me in a soft Indian accent that my computer has a problem can now can authenticate themselves with authority, making it easier for them to get me (or my proxy) to enable remote administration so they can do real damage.

I agree with you on this we are most productive in the language with most exposure.

Indeed many in Rust community do not realize that the LLVM infrastructure they use for Rust to make its code executable by real hardware is itself written in C++.

Rust is still miles away to compile itself and may not happen. So survival of Rust is dependent on progress of C and C++. So I doubt it is even be viable to call it their replacement.
When surveyed, most people respond that the meat they buy is ethically sourced but it is rarely the case.

Most meat that is claimed to be ethically sourced is far from it. Worse yet, the places where demand is growing the fastest, are places with minimal concern for how the animals are treated.
Every time I see a GeoCities archive, I look for my old site, which I could have sworn was at TimesSquare/9994, but it's never there. Were inactive accounts purged at some point and it got flushed away before people started mirroring GeoCities? Or is it more likely that I just don't properly remember what my page URL was?
What "recommendation" are you referring to from RFC 920? All I see is:

ORG = Organization, any other domains meeting the second level requirements.

I see nothing about not-for-profit or money mentioned at all in RFC 920. There are occurrences of the word "commercial", but they're all in reference to the COM domain. The ORG domain is only referred-to as being for "Organizations".
You can install vanilla kernel and firmware. It won't ever be in the official repos, but the needed configuration is relatively simple and easy to google.
Viewed in isolation I don't think it is either. In a society that in practice completely disregards the moral status of non-human animals, I don't think the scientists are acting out of line. They are doing negligibly more harm than the average meat-eater.

I removed the driver-side door grab/armrest in my NA. Gives me about 3" extra room. Perhaps that's possible on newer models?

I popped off a couple plastic panels, unscrewed the bolts, and it came right off. Then I attached a loop of cloth with a washer so I could close the door.

The title/registration stuff does in fact say "bus", but I wouldn't call it that. It's just an extended body van. I get mildly accusatory questions when registering it for non-commercial use and when I go places that have per car or per family payment.

I would also expect that it’s easier to address the co2 output of a single coal plant than a million cars due to economies of scale. The solution space for internal combustion engines is constrained by size, weight, and serviceability which is less an issue for power plants. Note that this is not to say that we shouldn’t prefer green energy, only that it shouldn’t deter us from investing in electric cars.
This tool has some insanely good performance -- kudos! What did you build it on?
Using fossil fuel generated electricity is still more efficient than drilling oil, cracking it into petrol, along with lubricant oil to stop your ICE seizing, driving it to a petrol station, filling your car and burning it at awful efficiency.

Renewable sources of electricity are a huge improvement to be encouraged, but EVs running off fossil generated electricity are better than petrol or diesel ICE.
Cold-Water Swimming
Huh? She's not complaining about something in her personal life. She's complaining about press coverage of her startup having trouble getting another funding round. That's ordinary business news. It's something VCs, suppliers, customers, and competitors all want to know if they're in that sector. It's probably known outside the company, since fund-raising will have been in progress.
Exactly. And I'd also like to point out that earning good money and ethics aren't mutually exclusive things at all. I certainly didn't spend my years there for comp alone. I like to think, as well, that my work there helped improve the world in some small way, and I could justify that position pretty easily, with evidence.

I get that people on this site get a raging hard-on against tracking on the web, I suffer from the same, but to say that getting site owners to snitch on you in exchange for their sites being able to exist is some huge breach of ethics is not a rational position to take.

When one is inclined to blame someone or some company for all the troubles in the world, it is helpful to ask them about the _specific_ harm that they feel the object of their ire is causing them. If they respond with a laundry list of things, that's a tell they aren't thinking rationally about it.
turns out a shitload of people can afford these places

Yup! I noticed that in the SF market. With all the tech, biotech and finance jobs here, there are a lot of households with incomes in the $500K range or ~$25K per month after tax income.

A $1.5M mortgage is ~$6K, maybe $8K total including taxes.

That's only 33% of take home income for this hypothetical household.

Per RFC920[1], which defined the initial TLDs, the ORG domain was for "Organizations". It doesn't say anything about "ethos", not-for-profit status, etc. It's for "organizations".

I'd love to see a citation re: this "not-for-profit" designation being codified somewhere by IANA. It's not supported by RFC 920.

> Men and women can go grey any time from their mid-30s

It can start earlier than that - I found my first gray hair around 16, and I'm now in my early 20s with pretty evenly mixed salt-and-pepper hair along the sides (the top has decided to run away, rather than go gray).
Completely agreed. I find my jq answers there more than anywhere else, and I am continually amazed by its balance between accessibility and thoroughness.

I would also say though that this cheat sheet looks great as well - cheat sheets absolutely have their place next manuals.

Rediscovering the lost power of reading aloud
No (economic) growth != no change.

The main thing we need to get past is the assumption that is currently woven deeply into our financial system that debt is sustainable because the next generation will be more productive than the last. That kind of growth has to end somewhere. That does not mean that we can't keep inventing new stuff.

I point people to “Human Values, Ethics, and Design” by Friedman and Kahn, as a starting point for ethical computing or ethical HCI discussions. It had a big impact on me when I first read it and it still shapes my ethical lens many years later.
Which works until the 'unaccountable elites' decide that the proposition is unconstitutional. Like Prop 187 [0], a (successful, at ~60% in favor) 1994 proposal to limit services provided by the state to legal residents only. (Agree or disagree with the proposal, "no your constitutional amendment is unconstitutional" leaves a bad taste in my mouth. And yes, this was federal court, but the incoming California governor aborted the appeal)

I think the boomers will trigger a sell off but as long as population grows due to immigration, there will probably never be a glut.
I truly believe the era of privacy is over.

There are zero consequences to anyone important when a data breach happens; therefore there is no incentive for companies to protect their user data and the number of breaches will continue to grow for the foreseeable future.

By 2025 at the latest, there will effectively be no such thing as privacy anymore. All personal data belonging to everyone will have been exfiltrated and will be available for sale.

You will be able to purchase the full medical history, all financial transactions, all addresses, phone numbers, location history (often with photo/video evidence), all account numbers, ID numbers (government and otherwise), biometric data, browser/search history, every email, sms or chat message they ever sent or received and any other information you can think of for the vast majority of people on earth.
Is this happening? Actual question if there is someone here who measures this sort of thing.

.io seems to have been accepted by the tech community, as the place to go when you can't get your .com or .net. Maybe .ai too. Are there any new gTLDs gaining acceptance in the wider community?
"Ethically sourced meat" is essentially a marketing gimmick. It generally doesn't denote conditions that are meaningfully different from "normal" meat.
In my experience as an end user, they are decidedly simpler, have much better documentation, and changes are broadcast through standardized release processes. I spend a lot less time “admin-ing” my FreeBSD servers than I did when they were Linux.

What your analysis doesn't take into account is that if interest rates go up, demand plummets and the 1 million dollar home at 3.5% is worth 600k at 10% interest rate.

No, that won't help (except, as with every other technological innovation, to delay the day of ultimate reckoning). Quantum mechanics imposes fundamental limits on miniaturization, and the second law of thermodynamics (and the Landauer limit) imposes fundamental limits on efficiency gains.
Microsoft should certainly make it easy for corporate deployments to re-enable iexplore.exe — but it shouldn't be available by default on your typical Windows 10 install. (It's already available to uninstall and reinstall as an "optional feature".)

Or at the very least, Explorer and the task bar should do everything in its power to hide the existence of Internet Explorer 11. It shouldn't be listed as a program anywhere by default and it shouldn't come up in search.
On the contrary, respecting the intent of the law is a critical component of corporate ethics. If the people of California say that companies shouldn't control their employees' politics, but I don't like that rule so I find some loophole to do it anyway, I'm behaving unethically.

It's not so much the "applications can write data to application data" as it is "application data is executable by default". It's simply a design choice from before security was important. Nobody would defend that design today and Microsoft recognized this when they created appx which separates installers, executable programs, and data into separate content types treated with separate security policy.
How do you compare the centralization of a socialist government against the centralization of power among FAANG? Genuine question.
That's true for the US market, but what I learned is a "margin call" is a potential scenario in Canada.

Unlike the US, mortgages typically have 5 year terms (can range from 1 to 10). The amortization period is still 25 years (on average), but you refinance every 5 years.

If you put 20% down on a house, which then loses 10% of it's value, you can't refinance without coughing up enough cash to have the loan be 80% of the appraisal.

As you said, at least in the US you can choose to ride out a crash if you have a 30 year fixed mortgage.
It isn't. But also rental property and ownership property are not the same kind of properties.
It is pretty easy to justify the methods most of the time.

Animal testing is often the best, if not only way to get data. The data may lead to the betterment of human lives, so you weigh the potential human benefit against the lives of the mice.

Most animal researchers believe it would be unethical to not conduct the testing. The studies should still be run in a way to minimize the number of animals while collecting the best possible data.

Nothing can be done.

It's a wildly asymmetrical relationship that means 9 billion people get a try to knock you out and your team of what??? 25, 50, 100, 1000? Security specialists have to see everything possible and plan for any and all possibilities.

It's never going to happen.

This is the simple reality of the internet and I'm sure you know this, but I saw your comment and thought I'd add this for the next person who may not realize this.

I'm personally curious to know, because I'm no SecOps; if there is even a theoretical solution to the internet that would have greater integrity for the users or if this is as good as it gets.
In a way, I appreciate the attempt to encourage people to contribute to open source, but in another way, initiatives like this feel a lot like a cargo cult to me. I mean that in a very specific sense:

Traditionally, contributors to free software and open source, especially the more prolific ones, are often good programmers. This has made its way into the collective consciousness in a way that affects hiring, e.g. by considering open source contributions as a positive signal.

People who want to be software developers hear or read about this and want to replicate it, so they are looking for somewhere to contribute. Hence initiatives like in TFA, and GSoC etc.

What they ignore or just don't see is that those traditional contributors to open source largely self-selected by having some issue that they wanted to solve and then just fixing it. They come to the projects with their own issues, which may overlap with issues of others out of coincidence. The difference in motivation and internal drive is significant.

Of course it's still nice when people genuinely want to contribute to make the world a better place, but I'm skeptical about the support burden that these non-traditional contributors often put on project maintainers, because they tend to need more guidance on average and have less intrinsic understanding of the problem space and relevant use cases. Some projects grow structures to support it and manage just fine, but some don't and I think that also needs to be accepted.
