Yup. He said that they probably weren't malicious about it, but hired a really shitty Web designer. They got all cooperative when he said his next call would be the local FBI office.
I forget that perhaps Apple's intent is to do what people complain about: download the update anyway, regardless of the setting. My anecdotal experience (I have yet to have an iOS device actually download the update when I have automatic updates turned off) allows me to forget.
great info, thanks.

Looks like if the machine is asleep it won't use it for a content cache, even if "wake for network access" is turned on. So a pretty useless feature if you have a machine that's allowed to sleep.
I’m not sure what you are getting at here. Has the employee been severely bullied this whole time? Has the boss physically attacked the employee? Is all the office aware that this is going on (and some even take the employee’s side)? And is the response to throw down computers and roll over desks?

If the answer to all of those questions are “yes”, then—as a society—we absolutely condone this outburst, and might even help the employee get legal justification in the process.
>The narrative spread far and wide is that Russia hacked the DNC and passed the emails to wikileaks, who distributed them in order to hurt HRC in the election and boost Trump.

Yes. And as far as I know this is generally not really disputed by experts nowadays, no?

>This was the premises for the Mueller investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, which took approximately 2 years and cost 26 million dollars and included "2,800 subpoenas, executed almost 500 search warrants, and interviewed approximately 500 witnesses."

Yes.

>But nobody thought to go England (the FBI has a field office there, so no "going" necessary), where Julian Assange was under house arrest in Ecuador's embassy, and ask "Hey, where did you get those emails?" Oops!

I'd be pretty surprised if US or US-aligned law enforcement or intelligence didn't try to ask him about it, if they were able to. I'm not sure if they would legally be able to while he was protected by the Ecuadorian embassy, though.

Regardless, of course Russian intelligence isn't going to tell Assange "hey, Russian intelligence here, here's some emails". Assange would just repeat what we all already know: someone using the name Guccifer 2.0 supplied him with the emails. Beyond that, he knows nothing about who may be behind that identity. Why would he and how could he?

And as another commenter said: he could just refuse to say anything at all. "Wikileaks doesn't reveal any information about our sources."

Either way, he's not really the source of truth on this issue. He was the broker that helped distribute the emails; there's no reason why he would know anything about the true identity of the culprits, or even if the person who emailed him was actually the culprit and not just a different broker in the chain, etc.
It's truly despicable how conservatives, like yourself, always try to co-opt MLK, mix about, and then serve some sort of impotent "order above all"-version of MLK.

The direct action is forgotten.

That large parts of the population hated him even though he tried peaceful methods is disregarded.

This passage of the Letter from Birmingham jail, I think, conveys are different message, especially the later part:

> but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

Or perhaps this, from his "Beyond Vietnam" speech:

> "They asked if our own nation wasn’t using massive doses of violence to solve its problems, to bring about the changes it wanted. Their questions hit home, and I knew that I could never again raise my voice against the violence of the oppressed in the ghettos without having first spoken clearly to the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today: my own government."

Furthermore, in this post you are both authoritatively implying to know "what he stood for" and "what's not on the table for African Americans". That's just arrogant.
Yeah, the biggest problem I have with Debian is that they tend to take popcon statistics as evidence.

No. A friend of mine was driving home up 101. There was a large boat sitting in her lane. She thought her brain was playing tricks on her and did not believe there was a boat sitting on the highway. And she crashed into the boat.

I once saw a near miss of 2 civilian planes. One was taking off from an airport next to Lake Superior, and the other was a float plane taking off from the adjacent bay. I only noticed because I heard the engines rev up as they took evasive maneuvers.

How about you look at FBI data which says that

ii) blacks are responsible for 50% of the crime in the US despite being only 13% of the population.

Really, really disappointing watching all these WASP-descended tech workers get on their knees for a minority group that both despises whites and is responsible for their own failings. It's humiliating - stop!

tl;dr:

To learn about some cryptography fundamentals:

* Read Katz & Lindell's Introduction to Modern Cryptography

* If you're missing math background, read Timothy Gowers' blog

* Supplement: Take Jonathan Katz' and Dan Boneh's MOOCS (links in post)

To get to the point where you can "design/analyze crypto protocols" (and maybe know what you're doing):

* Read Oded Goldreich's Foundations of Cryptography (Volumes 1&2)

* Try to have quasi-intelligent conversations with real cryptographers (advice for this in blog post)

* Get a PhD somewhere with a good crypto program

Okay, so some PROBABLY BAD THINGS about this project. I'm 100% convinced that this group is an astroturfing project, but I don't know to what end.

1. This group believes that police officer names should be redacted from all police documents. They also think that Court case IDs should be redacted because it might be PII.

2. The owner of the group is accepting police officers into their ranks, and suggestions of inviting FBI agents and police commanders have been taken seriously. When I tried to point out that this was a bad idea, I was told I was "gaslighting" the group.

3. They have no legal representation. The closest they have (as of yesterday) is a legal researcher. This researcher is very green.

4. The creator of the group is a marketing expert who is a co-owner of a marketing company named frac.tl that specializes in making things go viral using emotional issues. While that in itself might not be a bad thing, it should make trusting this movement a bit more difficult.

5. The blog post that 'started' this had three different author names, and was recently changed two weeks ago. The 'current author' has told me that this is because the website editor was changed twice. Again, not something bad in itself, but combine it with everything..

6. The blog post that started this all is on lawsuit.org, which is owned by frac.tl. Instead of representing themselves as owners of frac.tl, the creators of this group represent themselves as lawsuit.org.

7. The owner of the group has given admin permissions to the group to people that she's never met. They have full rights to do whatever they want, including kick/ban/view email addresses.

FWIW, in the past 6mo, I've been heavily involved in police accountability work. Still new to it, but the folks that I've talked to who do this work more than I agree that this is a suspicious group.

If you want to support projects like this, please donate to your local police accountability groups instead!

>If miss information leads to people distrusting the US government based on lies.

if only there were government sources that people could trust. Say a twitter of the POTUS ... Though may be the POTUS hiding in the bunker from his countrymen just doesn't have the real information, only his own fears, hate and discomfort of wet pants.

Can you imagine an alternative Universe where, instead of hiding from, POTUS comes out on the balcony to the people and makes a speech unifying and healing the nation?
The larger parts on either end are primarily just heavy armor.

They move along their length. Typically the end with the larger bulb is the front I believe, but many ships have equally sized bulbs.

Propulsion is provided by gravity generators built in a ring encircling either end of the craft.

In normal space the ship forms two planes of intense gravitational gradient above and below the ship in a wedge shape, which has the effect of moving the ship forward. For reasons that I suspect have some grounding in actual physics (?) The wedges need to be open at either end to actually move the ship forward.

The two planes have such intense gravity that literally nothing (including missles, lasers, visible light, etc.) can get through. The sides of the ship can be protected with weaker "side wall" gravitational planes, but not at the strength of the primary planes or it will interfer with propulsion.

All of this has the effect of making space battles similar to ocean battles with broadsides of missiles (which can get through the side walls) and lots of emphasis on maneuvering to bring your ship's broadside in line with the other ships unprotected "throat" or "kilt".

Which brings it right back to the bulbs on either end which are the heaviest armored parts of the ship because they are not protected by powerful gravitational planes.

Civilian ships taper at the ends instead of flaring since they don't need the armor or powerful sensors that military craft put there.

(As an aside, the honorverse hyperspace has currents of gravity. When in hyperspace the gravity generators on a ship create Warshawski Sails - massive km wide planes of gravity which catch the currents to move the ship much faster than possible in normal space.)
I'm German. theoretical CS and maths terms are no problem because they all have a German equivalent.

It seems like there is some serious disinformation/psych ops working overtime across the internet right now; the tone is weirdly hostile. I would hope people would question the motivation of obviously divisive rhetoric, but it's clear that is a resounding no. As they say, people always buy with their emotions.

I'm afraid the days of an open internet are quickly closing.
Facebook's customers are paying for ad services.

If we market those "products and services" to which you refer -- I suspect they are not the ad services sold by Facebook -- on their own, what are they worth?

More cognitive dissonance.

People do not pay to particpate in research studies, even though they may get some "free stuff" in the course of participating in the research.

The Facebook "service" is market research and advertising services. Whatever "free stuff" participants may receive in the course of participating is not "products and services" the research sponsor (advertisers), Facebook or anyone else can sell. No one would pay.

Facebook users agree to be studied and marketed to by advertisers. As the participants, are providing Facebook with value. They are allowing Facebook to conduct market research and collect the data.

If we subtract the Facebook customers - advertisers - then there is no paying customer. Development, maintenance and hosting are expenses necessary to provide the service of conducting the research and services for the paying customer. Users are not Facebook's customers.

It matters little if any user says that Facebook has "value" when that same user would also refuse to pay to be a participant in Facebook's research on behalf of advertisers (research sponsors). Whatever "free stuff" users are getting by participating is not worth enough that they would pay for it.

Communicating and sharing through websites is valuable. We pay for internet access so we can do that, among other things. Facebook is just an implementation detail.

I'm seeing false accusations of Antifa starting violence all over the place. It's the right-wing's boogieman-du-jours, and likely false-flag representation at best.

Edit: Downvoters– tell me why you're downvoting this?

Why would Antifa purposefully take actions that would deliberately cause an armed police response to otherwise-peaceful protests?

Edit 2 since I can no longer post responses: Clearly the misinformation campaign continues alive and well here on HN. Dare to defend those with less privilege and get downvoted to hell.

You know...

Launching the raw materials to orbit from Earth might cost $3000/kg.

While Earth is great for being able to sustain life, the gravity well rather sucks.

Launching the same materials from most other interesting places in the solar system would cost a lot less, (at least, were there people there to provide some sort of settlement)

For instance, presuming most of what you need is silicon oxide anyway; launching the raw material from the moon and transporting it to earth orbit easily costs MUCH less fuel than launching it from earth.

* Earth->LEO: 9400 m/s
* Moon->LEO: 1730+680+3260=5760 m/s on rockets alone
* Moon->LEO 1730+680=2400 m/s with aerobraking (smarter)
* Mars->LEO 6300 m/s with aerobraking
* Asteroid belt->LEO between 1060-3360 m/s

Moral of the story: Don't launch your stuff from Earth if you can at all help it.

Now, once you have a somewhat established moon settlement that can take on projects it gets even more interesting. Unlike on earth, Lunar gravity is so low that things like a space elevator or a linear accelerator are practical with even todays technology and materials science. Combined with aerobraking on the other end, you could ultimately ship materials or goods to earth for cheaper and faster than china post ship from china. ;-)

The only downside: first you do need that settlement on the moon, and that's one heck of an initial investment. On the other hand: once established and marginally autonomous, you can intuit that -despite harsh conditions- such a settlement could be quite a competitive location to establish mining and industry.

I experienced this kind of behavior from a UK-based company. This wasn't even necessary, because I already bought something pricey from them and just tried the checkout flow again just to show my friend the shipping prices.

I complained to their data protection officer, who basically fobbed me off and told me they did nothing wrong. A few months down the line I finally found the time to recap everything and collect the proof and complaint to the ICO?

Their response? They threw the complaint away on a technicality because it's been more than 3 (or 6, can't remember) months since my last contact with the company despite them persisting with the behavior.
You're allowed to think whatever you want to think. This particular thought is socially controversial and inflammatory to a relatively large population no matter how well you think you've reasoned it. There's not much else to say on the matter.
There's nothing weird about the hostility, it's to stoke racial conflict.
