The Microserver line is aimed at corporations who want to send out a local office server that they will maintain remotely; the local office might not have a rack or any other infrastructure besides a router-switch combo. Size is important. HP custom builds the case and the motherboard: repair is expected to take the form of swapping the whole box, possibly sliding the disks in and out.

If you don't care about size, you can do much better for cheaper, and be able to replace everything with standard parts if you have problems in the future.

Chloroquine update - "Xu Nanping, vice minister of science and technology, at a press conference in Beijing" Feb 21:

>Chloroquine Phosphate, which has been used for more than 70 years, has been tested in 135 cases in Beijing and southern China's Guangdong Province. Among them, 130 patients have light and common symptoms, and five are severe patients.

>None of the patients with light and common symptoms have developed severe symptoms. Four severe patients have been discharged from hospital, and one has seen severe symptoms mitigated to normal, Xu said. http://www.china.org.cn/china/2020-02/22/content_75732846.ht...

which sounds promising.

No. According to this source [1], the Obama administration did not indict Assange, as his known actions did not differ from those of other journalists.

> It's legal and ethical for a journalist to report on crimes. It is not legal, for example, for a journalist to break into a building to steal information on crimes, however valid that information may be.

Even taking that as an assumption, it is still perfectly ethical to encourage privileged source to leak information about crimes or other information whose publication is of significant public interest.

To be honest, I think you've just exemplified a lot of what I think about this trial: people are reporting on what's happening, are outraged, but as far as I can tell, most of it is just par for the course for the British justice system.

Which isn't to say you shouldn't be outraged, but you should probably be outraged about a sixteen year old black kid being brought up for possession as well. He's not high profile enough to get a star lawyer determined to enumerate the problems with his treatment.
Interview with David Heinemeier Hansson on climate change
It depends on the perspective, in case of SQL I would argue that sanitizing the input is the same as escaping the output, because the query you are sending to the database is the output.

Escaping the output however as a term implies you are doing it right, while sanitizing the input could also mean you just replace("DROP", "") etc. (My last name is Dropmann, I know what I am talking about)
I recently picked up a C++ codebase I wrote maybe 30% myself and which was last touched in 2013. It's a plug-in for a DCC app.
The 3rd party API it communicates with was changed so refactoring was inevitable.

Before I started refactoring I decided to make everything 'less ugly' by moving it to C++17. Which would also help me get back into the code, after eight years.

I spent two days on this. Then I decided: fuck it. I will RIIR™.[1]

It will mean that it will take me at least two months to get a beta of the product with feature parity vs. maybe a week to port the old codebase to the new API.

But on the other hand the C++ code is littered with stuff that 'just works' but can explode in your face and which eventually needs some safety net written around it. Which will likely take at least two months to do properly.

The truth is: after one and a half years of Rust C++ feels painfully ugly.

For context: I started with C++ with Borland's TurboC++ (moving from C) when I was 15. I used C++ for almost 30 years by now. It's about time.

DHH, co-founder of Basecamp, and Jason Jacobs, co-founder of RunKeeper and host of the "My Climate Journey" podcast, have a deep conversation about climate change, their own personal views on it, and taking the metaphorical "red pill," as it relates to the crisis.

You can find past episodes on the My Climate Journey website as well as request an invite to the Slack group, where discussions on the topic are taking place among technologists, experts and entrepreneurs: https://www.myclimatejourney.co/
If there really is an apocalypse your only goal is to survive it. Historically, apocalyptic events result in multigenerational dark ages, because the goal is survival even as population rebounds.

Also, historically speaking, most population groups refuse civilization when provided the option. The visible concern to non-civilized groups when gazing upon civilization are loss of independence, loss of social equality, and social restrictions. Typically groups only accept civilization once wealth becomes sufficiently abundant, military defense of fixed areas requires fixed resources, and influence becomes more important than wealth.

That being said I would take no preparations to rebuild civilization.
If you had a science driven eugenics programme then the scientist would say a population with identical genomes in all respects is an accident waiting to happen ( think everyone killed in a global pandemic for example because of identical immune systems.... ) - ie not 'genetically' fit. ( The scientist also might question whether the goal is actually achievable - nevermind ethical ).

Also depends on what you mean by cloning - if you wanted to create lots more twins then actually you could probably trivially do it today by following the existing twin process - ie viable embryo and splitting at early stage.
( https://academic.oup.com/humupd/article/23/2/156/2527545 )
That would be 'cloning' and give you a identical base genetic background on which to start making changes.

However most people consider cloning to be taking adult cell DNA and creating a new viable embryo from that - which is tricky to do without genetic damage.

The reason people want to do the second nuclear transfer approach is they want to select the DNA to used based on adult characteristics - ie you only know Mozart was Mozart when he grew up not when he was an egg.

However in my view that kind of eugenic thinking is deeply flawed.
I provided some above. The names are well known within the fire sector and they've not denied it. There are two ex-firefighters on record (BBC interview, online records) who were heavily funded by the flame retardant industry to push for more of their chemicals in furniture and other products. One of them still operates: Mike Hagen. Both claim that they were not funded while in service but logic suggests at the very least they were sounded out before retiring. Another still in service is Paul Fuller - who regularly pushes for flame retardants in children's clothing. Then there's Sir Ken Knight who played a major role in blocking safety changes to the Furniture Regs that would have hugely reduced flame retardants. The same Sir Ken who signed off the Grenfell cladding as safe; and the same Sir Ken who was appointed Chair of the Grenfell independent experts panel and refused to even look at the role the faile furniture regs played in the fire.

>The threat of software copies was recognized at least as early as 1976, the year Bill Gates wrote his infamous “open letter to hobbyists” bemoaning the illegal distribution of Microsoft software, but it wasn’t until the mid-80s that laws were passed banning the practice. The crackdown on software piracy was not evenly spread throughout Europe, however. Countries like the Netherlands, Greece, Finland, Sweden, and Norway didn’t have strict software piracy laws, if they had any at all, which allowed the warez scene to flourish there.

This is the hypothesis I've come to believe. Demoscene has always been tightly coupled with warez. In the United States, release groups had to go deep underground much sooner than their euro counterparts for operational security reasons.

If you were the feds back then, one of the ways to hunt a release group was to find its cracktro/demo authors who tended to operate a little more openly due to the larger demoscene. The release cells in scene groups would then cut ties with their own demo people for this very reason. Demo authors would then feel a lot less cool because they weren't as connected to the release elements of their own group anymore.

As of about 20 years ago, release elements of euro groups began operating under equally strict security regimens. I think in large part it came down to the fact their demoscene had more time to grow roots and flourish than the American scene.

Yea that's the only option. And certainly a complete representation of what happened
The people campaigning against the use of those words are usually from the category affected, plus a few thought leaders outside the category who say "maybe we shouldn't be so nasty towards the outsiders". It's the ones outside the category who everyone attacks as "politically correct", because of the unthinkableness of advocating for something that doesn't personally benefit them. The ones inside the denigrated category are usually invisible.

And that's why you do see people campaigning against hate speech outside of the West and Europe - but much more quietly and less visibly, partly because they're not amplified and partly because (as you've noticed) it's genuinely dangerous for them to do so.

There's a Pride in Uganda. It's illegal. You won't find people telling you not to use "f-g" there, because they don't have the power to say so safely.

I think in this very case the judge clearly IS pursuing an agenda. It may be a government-approved agenda, but it is clearly an agenda separate from the even-handed pursuit of justice.
And different to past history is that network effect is now largely worldwide and not just local to a city or even country.

> I never accidentally ... extra storage quota

Raises hand as an example of someone who essentially got a free server upgrade from 500G to 2T storage recently, due to people following a fixed procedure in a slightly unusual circumstance without thinking.

"Positive" accidents do happen. People just don't tend to shout about them publicly as much as they do about those with negative consequences or that affect many at the same time.

> someone "accidentally" removed the step where you were informed what's happening and could say no

In this case I can easily see this accident happen. A junior was told to remove those parts of the UI. That person has little of no knowledge of the back-end and does not have time to dig or think further because they have other work tickets assigned to them to get on with, just did the job and moved on.

Facebook may be deliberately shitty a lot of the time, that doesn't mean they aren't sometimes accidentally stupidly shitty too.

> would you consider excusable where bad things happen to you because someone "accidentally"

Of course this doesn't excuse it, just explains it. There was a fault in the management and/or work review processes. Someone should have had the opportunity to put two and two together and failed to do so. And there should be some fallout. To use a rather extreme analogy: accidentally killing someone through gross ineptitude is still a punishable crime (manslaughter), I would agree that accidentally breaching data collection rules through gross ineptitude should be too (though I doubt the coders/testers dealing with the "UI cleanup" ticket could be said to be responsible).
Interesting. Wonder if that was during eBay or new ownership.
I don't want to be condescending here, but I know it'll sound like it.

Etsy is small potatoes compared to those companies. It's the most easily avoidable of the bunch. If Etsy makes a truly stupid decision and sellers revolt, they'll be on life support before the year is over.

> Is there some inherent human right against persecution?

"Human rights" are a social construct, there's nothing inherent about them. Regardless - Assange was under no obligation towards Sweden given the circumstances.

> Is it "fair" for me to avoid questioning (or consequences of questioning) about crimes of which I'm accused, too?

1. Assange was not charged with any crimes.

2. Assange did not avoid questioning - neither in Sweden nor in Ecuador (= Ecuadorian Embassy). He only avoided exposing himself to US-instigated persecution.

Yes, Facebook got into our e-mail accounts. Yes, Twitter did too. They--plus Instagram and WhatsApp (all part of FB)--sell our data, corrode our personal lives, society as a whole, and democracy. Unfortunately, complaining about it won't be effective, as it's been proven to fail miserably for years. The only thing that's going to stop this is coming up with FOSS, fully distributed, not for profit alternatives that can do a good job at connecting people and serving humanity.

SQL injection attacks still happen, a LOT.

Making sure your query only executes a single statement is not enough to prevent sql injection (depending on how you concat the query) - you just have to use the provided context to get/set data you need to escalate your permissions (eg if its SELECT stuff FROM table, you might be able to inject it such that your query replaces stuff and then you can select whatever the querying user has access to.)

2019:
For its "State of the Internet" report, Akamai analyzed data gathered from users of its Web application firewall technology between November 2017 and March 2019. The exercise shows that SQL injection (SQLi) now represents nearly two-thirds (65.1%) of all Web application attacks. That's up sharply from the 44% of Web application layer attacks that SQLi represented just two years ago.
Some high profile cases will be published on the Judiciary.uk website, but these will be decisions and judgments, not full transcripts. The site also publishes "coroner's reports to prevent future deaths"[1], and any committal for contempt cases. https://www.judiciary.uk/judgments/

Here's what they have for Assange's previous cases: https://www.judiciary.uk/judgments/?filter_type=judgment&sea...

Some other cases will be pushed to the charitable organisation BAILII, who'll do any necessary anonymisation, apply a standard format, and put them up on the web. https://www.bailii.org/

Here's the BAILII search for Assange: https://www.bailii.org/cgi-bin/lucy_search_1.cgi?highlight=1...

But in general, no, we don't have full transcripts easily available and nothing apart from court reporting is available in real time.

The collapse of journalism as a career, especially local journalism (maybe this is just a UK thing?) means a lot of court reporting just doesn't happen any more, which is a bit worrying.

Those aren't mutually exclusive. As far as I understand, the idea of Monopoly isn't to show how markets work. Its to show how finite resources such as land interact on a semi-free market. Which is exactly why lots of countries are now having problems with investors, foreign or not, buying up everything and driving up prices.
