For one, it's unconstitutional.

From the article:

> Mishi Choudhary, executive director of New Delhi-based Software Law and Freedom Centre, said that the authority did not need to chase people who are using VPNs, and should restore internet access like any other democratic society.

“Any alleged rumors can be addressed by putting out accurate and more information through the same social media platforms. Content-based restrictions on speech can only be allowed within the restrictions established by the Constitution and not in an ad hoc manner,” she said.
So rust can do it in a subset of cases, such that it can make a stronger assertion; C++ can do it in the general case, and is therefore unable to make the stronger assertion.

Neither is correct vs the other, rather they reflect different choice points in the language possibility space.
1 why are not the army involved as well as 2/3s of the roles are army related

2 Why an expendable missile and not a reusable gun armed drone in a loyal wingman role or a parasite drone that can be launched from a mother ship or from a truck / avf back in the 50's they had the McDonnell XF-85 Goblin parasite fighter

What data is that perspective based on or is it just your gut feeling (aka bias)?

Well, there isn't much we can do around here to solve physical security.

But we can make sure that the rubber hose is required. The government going around beating people on no evidence is a completely different situation than they knowing beforehand everything they need to do.

I expect Parent either meant nation as a synonym for "country".

nation is defined as:

na•tion
n.
A relatively large group of people organized under a single, usually independent government; a country.
n.
The territory occupied by such a group of people.

> Sometimes hammering nails into the broken thing will just end up splitting the wood and it'll be more broken than before.

I 100% agree? But we're trying to build a house here. We may not want to hammer nails into those boards, but there are plenty of places we want to. We also don't want to hammer into steel or into live wires.

Maybe my analogy didn't work. I'm saying form coalitions and we apply our domain knowledge to the domain of the problem where our knowledge is most effective. We leave the other domains up to the other domain experts. I'm not saying we shouldn't be aware and help where we can with those issues, but that we also aren't the experts there and shouldn't be leading the conversations (again, participate, but not leading).

Your Measurements May Differ?
My point is that a lot of U.S. citizens will be reading this and if they are feeling a healthy dose is concern for Mr. Assange they should be aware that his essentially the fate of many of their countrymen.
Also, the US allows using UAT on 978 MHz for ADS-B requirement for planes below 18,000 ft.

Most SDRs only decode 1090 MHz signal. It is possible to decode 978 MHz but requires more work to support both.
“Mr Assange showed all symptoms typical for prolonged exposure to psychological torture, including extreme stress, chronic anxiety and intense psychological trauma.”

Emphasis mine. His terrible mental health condition is not under dispute. But I am disputing the use of the word torture, as opposed to 'symptoms typical for'.

Torture (noun): the action or practice of inflicting severe pain on someone as a punishment or in order to force them to do or say something.

While he was in the embassy he was fugitive and definitely under duress to turn himself in, no doubt. What rights and privileges is someone entitled to as a fugitive in comparison to their rights and privileges once in custody? My bias is anti Assange, for some common reasons some people are anti, I try to keep an open mind and be a compassionate person and feel compassion for his terrible mental health circumstances, yet articles like this, I read it with a pile of skepticism and just feels weak, lacking in evidence, overstating things and drawing inferences I think are poorly supported.
This is an old issue since XP (iirc?) and I remember it as one of the first reason that pushed me to hypothesize: "patent law is broken. worldwide. it's no longer serving its purpose, it is actually detrimental to its first and second mission¹".

Pretty much a landslide confirmation ever since. A sad topic for all makers of this world. We should be able to massively distribute "patent" law nowadays (it's no longer a tech problem to track all the involvement), give some sanity back to this system.

____

¹ First purpose of patent law, historically, is to incentivize innovation by guaranteeing inventors a revenue from their work. Same thing for copyright with artists. This is different from trademarks which are artistic but not tech, rather commercial/marketing in nature (literaly: branding).

Second purpose of patent law is indeed to incentivize innovation, by virtue of the first purpose (that inventors can thrive economically, get paid retrospectively for the work). It's important to make a distinction, because 1 is not the only way to reach 2, but it was deemed morally fair. Nowadays we may notice that 1 has become somewhat predatory to 2, and it's not individual inventors (like it used to be when such laws were made, and thusly justified) but big corporations that tend to extract "rent" from paper (there is no "spirit" of invention when you can simply buy patents with a company, this is a really grey idea that you could legally do that; another view would have any failed company's patents restituted to the public if it can't be held back to the name of the people who actually worked it).
The ship probably has value, the potential lawsuits regarding how it came and went probably eclipse that. Once you touch it whoever feels wronged is gonna try and lay claim to any money you made scrapping it and whether or not you win you get tied up in court doesn't really matter, it's still the last thing you want to do in a low margin industry. This is one ship, you're not gonna make a ton of money off it, not worth screwing with for most entities capable of scrapping it. Whatever town this washed up on is gonna have to pay to get rid of it. I'm sure some teenagers will find the time to steal some souvenirs before that happens though.
ssh could be used for proxy, so it might be marked as a VPN by ISP hardware. Better way would be to use something very popular like Gmail or Google Drive. I hope that chances are small for Google to co-operate with Indian government.

You make it sound as if a cloud of eternal darkness will rise. Some parts of astronomers will have a somewhat higher rate of bad signals, that they are already having to work around anyway. And we can iteratively improve both sides to make it less of a problem.

At the same time this change will help drive 10x more science overall by the simple economics of scale the space industry will reach.

I’m not a medical expert but your hand waving of stents feels off to me. Yes, it’s not surprising that stents can be dangerous, but the alternative is open heart surgery. Which sounds pretty damn risky too.

This is a clear nefarious usage used to spread false information. It’s interesting to see the only one supporting this view be downvoted. It’s not clear if the downvotes are due to not fully understanding the implications or if the downvotes are for another less savory purpose.

To have the candidate speak the language of a voting group holds significant political power in India. This is not the same as a dub. With a dub it is still relatively clear that the language is not spoken by the speaker. This is using tech to spread the false fact that a person can speak a language, when they in fact cannot.
What's "wrong" is that it's very difficult to tell the difference between this and "The Indian government is taking action against spreading information and news via VPN enabled social media"
How is comparing what Assange is (reportedly) experiencing in a UK prison in any way valid for criticizing the US prison system? I know we're supposed to assume the least objectionable interpretation of someone's comments, but this really sounds like a weird pivot designed to push some sort of anti-US agenda, when there's NOTHING related to the conditions of the US prison system even relevant to this particular discussion.
A Quiet Respite in a Bustling Open Workplace
If one is not using the services of air traffic control (ATC) by flying either IFR or using flight following, i.e., flying VFR, and if one's transponder supports the functionality, it is possible to fly in an anonymous fashion (while still giving position information):

* https://www.aopa.org/news-and-media/all-news/2019/february/p...

What happens is that the transponder generates a random self-assigned temporary ICAO ID number. This is for UAT only.

* https://www.avweb.com/aviation-news/faa-acts-to-preserve-ads...

So people can tell that someone is flying in a particular position, but not who.
As you said, that stuff is lunch/dinner, rather than snacks. Certainly that's a more valuable perk that some pretzels and sodas (or whatever). It's also less common.

Son of a gun, I have been running into this issue sporadically ever since I built my new PC with a Radeon 5700 XT, and I thought it might have been a bug in the drivers or a bad card, but turns out it's this instead.

For what it's worth, I downgraded my drivers to the last set of drivers from 2019 (19.9.2) and the problem seems to have gone away, but I'm having other issues instead (for instance, half the screen flashes dark when Night Light turns on). Guess it's time to upgrade and file some bugs.

"held hostage by rural voters" is an interesting choice of words considering they already feel the same way. There are already movements in a number of states with a lot of local support to have rural areas that are politically dominated by urban voters secede and join other states that more closely align with their values. I don't know why state governments don't let that happen more freely if they aren't actually trying to be the ones holding others hostage.

Great points, there are a lot of benefits to using a separate service to manage access control. You could even imagine using one service to control access to different datastores, then forwarding a role/user credential to each datastore to allow it to further control access, (making the solution offered in this article just one of those stores).

Many datastores support RBAC natively, so each of your stores could define access controls exactly internally which seems like a great separation of concerns to me. Personally, I've been digging into row-level security in Neo4j and Elasticsearch, both of which may be on their way to stealing my heart from Postgres but haven't quite yet.

Ultimately, company culture is a product of what the owners and their appointees allow and incentivize. In Uber's case, its culture is directly tied to Kalanick's management.

I agree in that unions give employees leverage in management and decision making, and that a union might have provided incentives for Uber to behave differently towards its employees. But a union isn't going to change who owns the company, unless they negotiate a buyout.

Except, almost without exception, eventually the one or two machines will fall over. Ideally you can engineer your way around this ahead of time - but not always. Fundamentally relying on a few specific things (or people) will always be an existential risk to a big firm. Absolutely agree re: start small - but the problem with “scale out” is a lack of good tooling - not a fundamental philosophical one.
I've made a bunch of one line PRs that I'm worried are perceived like this, but they're always a fix for something that cost me a lot of time. Examples include adding quotes around CSS base64 URLs (our base64 string included //) and changing the case of some headers in documentation (headers were downcased upstream and the example in the doc failed silently). Are these the kind of PRs you don't like?

Considerations are completely different in a streaming context. It’s not so much about how fast you can churn through terabytes of data; it’s more about how quickly you can turn around the incremental computation with each new datum. There’s some serious research behind this product, in timely and differential dataflow, and I’d encourage you to check out some of that research before making sweeping performance claims. Frank’s blog post on TPC-H is a good place to start: https://github.com/frankmcsherry/blog/blob/master/posts/2017...

We definitely have some performance engineering work to do in Materialize, but don’t let the lack of vectorization scare you off. It’s just not as important for a streaming engine.

It’s not surprising that business interests will take advantage of their employees.

That's not a feature. You're basically pointing to a world where only established multinational corporations are going to be able to afford to do anything at all. This results in more money being extracted from local economies into the coffers of the ultra-rich for no gain to us other than ostensibly environmental protection, which clearly others can just pay to get around (since nowhere in the discussion was any real suggestion that the actual implementation in practice was going to be any different, just the bond money up front).

It is very important for a politician to be able to speak the language/dialect of the target voter with some competence.

Although the deep fake doesn't change the message in any meaningful way, it does affect his ability to win votes.

It is far more deceptive than a news/documentary style dub where the dub audio starts a couple of seconds after the original audio is queued in.
>I don't know why state governments don't let that happen more freely if they aren't actually trying to be the ones holding others hostage.

Because the people who run governments often think in terms of maximizing power because that is what it takes to be a successful career politician. When you think that way of course it seems stupid to give up a bunch of people and land who pay taxes to you, count toward your population but aren't actually numerous enough to over-rule the majority party even if the presence of those people is not liked by them and your base. While no particular leader may see themselves as holding the minority group hostage political map lines never get re drawn because there are bigger fires to fight and broaching an topic involving re-drawing the political map has many, many ways to go wrong and maybe a couple to go right.
Agreed. I've noticed the exact same thing with the phrases "increases productivity" and "increases maintainability"

> AAC and other newer audio codecs can produce better quality than MP3

What does this mean? There are many factors that contribute to a end-user’s assessment of quality, including the mastering, the DAC, the headphones or speakers. So what does “better quality” mean in this context?
Exactly. If somebody tries to leave a building and you won't let them, they're not the hostage taker. If you really don't like rural voters and think they're just a burden, prove it, and support parting ways. Oh and fuck the silent downvoters.
