I had this same issue - if it's the same thing, it turned out that there are firmware issues and that the up-to-date firmware was only available for Windows (this may have changed, it was ~3-4 months ago). Lenovo's officially putting their updates on LVFS, but in practice it seems neglected. I spent a day or two stubbornly trying to extract the updates from the Windows binaries, eventually resorted to booting into Windows and updating firwmares on both laptop and dock that way. No issues since.

If it still doesn't work you can fall back on displaylink drivers in a pinch.
ThinkStation and ThinkPad P Series is what Lenovo calls "workstations", so probably just those.
If it hits the same database, build the new features in the new stack, and launch them. Users should click from the old to the new without even realizing. You have to figure out some details like sharing sessions, but this way avoids adding onto the old application. Otherwise you'll never catch up.

Ironically, everyone here seems to be angling at the political angle, not the fact that pensions can be easily survive well beyond what they were intended, especially public ones.
Perfect security doesn't exist. If humans are involved at any point, it's not perfectly secure. The One time pad is a great testament to that.

Should we work towards an ideal? Sure. Should we stress out that things aren't perfect? Probably not.

It's an iteresting technical idea though. Would be interesting to see if any existing systems have a "canary" element to them.
Death to censors
This has been my vacation photo strategy for awhile now. I keep my 300mm zoom on my Nikon and use my iPhone for snaps. The benefits of the iPhone are that the pics it takes almost never need any post. The downside is that it is limited to what pics it can take.

I also do miss having the 50mm on my Nikon while walking around. It's sharp, takes great low light pics, and is so versatile.

So yeah, I understand your psychological hangups because I have the same ones :)

I would create a separate Google account for any paid Google service you plan on using. Also, I would use a disposable payment method, such as a preloaded debit card, that can't be charged what's on the card. Load up the card with $20-30, pay for the service and use it. Fragment your Google identity as much as possible.

Also note, this one will make you fat in the long run, if that was not obvious. But short term situations it might help. Maybe doable in the long term with specific very healthy foods. Not sure.
All of the "conservatives" that come to mind for me, those that have their opinions spread across various news, sound like they fit fairly tightly into the shape you've described for Barr.

At best they're apologists for the policies of the conservatives in power, at worst they decry the inability for the conservatives in power to really make change due to the cowardly, soft, obstructionist, lefty, socialist opposition.

But I tend towards the cowardly, soft, obstructionist, lefty, socialist side, so maybe that's just what all conservatives sound like to me.

So, they'll let the Epsteins of the world pay and get E2EE, but those "Thug" protestors who want to organize and maybe can't justify the cost need to be surveilled.

Set against the events of the past week, I strongly feel this message is quite tone deaf and we're continuing to see two classes. Those exempt from police authority and those who cannot afford to be.

Edit: Authority isn't the right word. Oppression?
I totally agree! It would have been better to avoid bias by using a pixel/voxel representation (1=material present, 0=no material present), like Airbus did with wing structure optimization: https://backend.orbit.dtu.dk/ws/portalfiles/portal/138121106...

> Oakland PD should have something to do with those Democrats who have direct executive and legislative control over the city and state...

I agree. But that's not the whole story; perhaps not even the main story here. "Police act like laws don't apply to them because of Qualified Immunity": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23373329

Thanks to HN commenter @yyyk ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23382006 ), we learn that in 1967, the Supreme Court held that:

- "Few doctrines were more solidly established at common law than the immunity of judges from liability for damages for acts committed within their judicial jurisdiction... "

- "This immunity applies even when the judge is accused of acting maliciously and corruptly... " and
- "... the immunity of legislators for acts within the legislative role was not abolished. The immunity of judges for acts within the judicial role is equally well established... "

- "The common law has never granted police officers an absolute and unqualified immunity" but "... a police officer is not charged with predicting the future course of constitutional law... " and "the defense of good faith and probable cause... available to the officers in the common-law action for false arrest and imprisonment, is also available to them in the action under § 1983 [Civil action for deprivation of rights]."

https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Pierson_v._Ray/Opinion_of_the...

After which followed a cascade of case law that granted police officers, and others similarly anointed, a "qualified immunity" to trials (including pre-trial discovery): https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/qualified_immunity

Oakland lies within the ambit of the U.S. Supreme Court so, as long as qualified immunity remains the law of the land, local officials have limited ability to change a long-standing police culture of impunity.

> coded language a Republican Senator thousands of miles away uses belongs many paragraphs below that.

I disagree. Thanks to telecommunications, social media, and other new-fangled technologies, powerful and influential persons can cause action at a distance of thousands of miles. "Thousands of miles away" is meaningless in instances in which powerful persons can transmit or impose effects tens of thousands of miles away.

Edit: formatting
It _started_ even earlier. In 1948, Strom Thurmond ran for President as a Dixiecrat (Democrat for Racial Segregation), which is one reason why Truman v. Dewey was so close.

In 1952, Robert Taft wanted to run for President using the "southern strategy" to woo disaffected Democratic voters, but Eisenhower decided to run, and that put an end to that strategy until Nixon was more successful in 1968.

Basically, the south became squishy on Democratic Party once northern Democratic Mayors (and FDR) realized that African-Americans were a strong labor voice and a powerful voting block. "The Party of Lincoln" (GOP) had been ignoring African-Americans since TR was in the White House.
> Ultimately, if you abstract away the details of the running environment, to me, you've created a virtual machine.

So then are operating systems also virtual machines? Is the C standard library a virtual machine? This seems like a pointless definition to me.

> Maybe we should start talking about virtual runtimes?

Isn't that just called a runtime? Java is "virtual" because the instructions in the Java class files don't run directly on the CPU, unlike Go where the instructions in the binary do run directly on the CPU.
There's always the possibility that a method will be found that will allow the material to maintain at least some of these properties after "returning" to normal temp/pressures conditions.

In the US, as far as I can tell, there's no such thing as an officially-recognized library--at least at the federal level unless you're talking about the Library of Congress.

The IA is a 501(c)(3) organization but they're not a "library" in that filing (which may not even be a specific option).

Classification (NTEE)
Human Service Organizations - Multipurpose (Human Services — Multipurpose and Other)

Nonprofit Tax Code Designation: 501(c)(3)
Defined as: Organizations for any of the following purposes: religious, educational, charitable, scientific, literary, testing for public safety, fostering national or international amateur sports competition (as long as it doesn’t provide athletic facilities or equipment), or the prevention of cruelty to children or animals.

But, sure, they look like a library so they're free to call themselves one. But that doesn't actually confer a lot of special privileges.
All of these crowdsourcing apps (Uber, doordash, drizly, instacart) charge about 10-100x what you would think it would take to deliver the service.
This makes sense.

I love seeing Nokia and Ericsson do well, but in all this I feel like there's something most people, and governments fail to realize:

Sure, Huawei could add backdoors to their equipment, but why bother? Telcos often have Huawei run their networks anyway, they have access to the network via the Chinese employees. That's also the only way they would be able to exfiltrate large amounts of data without anyone noticing.

I don't know about Nokia, but Ericsson manages networks from low wage eastern European countries. I'm sure that China could easily pay off a few Romanians with they really cared enough.

The mandate on the phone companies should be to manage their own networks, or require staff local to the country in which the network is deployed.
Hey everyone,

This is a project I'm working on to get more truth on the internet. If deemed factual by the network, you gain more tokens from those who voted opposite to you. It uses the logarithmic market scoring rule (LMSR), and after one side holds a majority for 7 days, that side is paid out (no real money is involved yet, points are all free).

What do you think?
I was told, that at nanoscale high pressures in the gigapascal range are attainable somewhat easily by a friend of mine working here: https://tu-dresden.de/ing/elektrotechnik/ihm/NEM/die-profess... so maybe this form of nitrogen could be in special nano-islands or something like that. I guess, it is important to understand the physics of the materials to a certain degree and then think about engineering. This research is clearly at the beginning of the first phase, so they maybe found some interesting properties that could be useful in electronics but that's about it.
If you only ever work for other people there is a natural cap on your overall earning potential. This cap is lifted if you start your own businesses.

Starting businesses is no guarantee that you'll see that benefit of course. Chances are you'll earn less running your own business than you would if you worked for other people instead. But there's a small chance that you'll do a LOT better.
I kinda used to , but seeing the increasing amount of identity left content , I decided the step out and not post anything supportive.

I really couldn't understand that 'hey you white do this' style but that was nothing against the fact that people calmly asking why using this were firmly opposed.

What I really don't accept is that I can't debate because I'm white.The inability to debate is something I really can't and of course that wasn't explained to me.

I tried to read some new 'educative' content but I really keep seeing a generalized anti-white tone across everything I read.

Heck I also read that white should shut up if someone tell them that something is racist or homophobic , as gay white if someone would say something that would homophobic and I would tell them but if it wasn't mean or if it was unintentional I would gladly explain them what the problem is.

I guess that among BLM or everything related there are certainly a lot people who want to talk but in my web social environment I don't want to side with them.

But I'll be glad to speak bout it here , in a more anynomous environement.

Oh the irony... Not so secret when you blog about it.
No, they could not monitor all conversations. They could only listen to as many calls as they had agents to listen to them. It was not possible for them to listen to everyone at once, nor could they use this as means of discovery. They had to suspect someone in the first place in order to decide to expend the human resources to listen to their calls.

This is fundamentally different from modern technology where they can have a computer listen to every single call, pick out whatever keywords they're looking for, and flag it for later review. Technology now makes it possible for them to truly listen to everyone at once. This is why end-to-end encryption is necessary for everyone.

Politics is not going to solve this problem. A lot of what America's police and intelligence agencies do is already illegal. They don't care. They're going to do anything they can with the technology.
Yeah, copper or aluminum would work just as well, if not better :D

I hear more often things like "oh I don't have experience with X, so let's not use it". I mean programming languages are easy, frameworks are hard. Like learning how to use Django (which is pretty easy as far as frameworks go) to me seems harder than using React (assuming I know that already) with TypeScript instead of JavaScript. I would probably be really happy to use TypeScript instead.

If Elixir was a really bad match because it was hard to use the required libraries, OK I can understand that.
My comment came out sounding somewhat mean, which wasn't my intention, but the truth is that I'm not a big fan of HDR and related artificial effects. These effects don't look anything like the imagery perceived by my eyes and brain; they're just different ways to ruin a good photo.

In this case, a very good photo.
I have a Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga that claims to be certified by both Lenovo and Canonical for Ubuntu.

Finger print sensor doesn't work, the fans are super loud all the time, audio doesn't work (requires a newer Linux kernel than the one shipped in the latest Ubuntu), EFI problems, sleep, hibernate, fast-boot, restore from hibernate problems, battery life on Linux is horrible...

So at least the certification for Ubuntu is completely worthless. Reading the first comments in the Ubuntu forums from a year ago and the evolution of the Arch Wiki for my laptop, I have a hard time believing that somebody actually tested it before releasing the laptop. At best, somebody looked at the spec sheet and said "we have supported similar hardware before, this is good to go".

1 year later, the laptop is almost in a barely usable state. Canonical broke Audio support (soundcard not detected anymore) with 19.04 and did not fixed it before 20.04, essentially telling users to wait till the next Ubuntu release due to in 6 months. The only officially supported version is a 4 year old custom 16.04 that I never got the chance of trying, but this should tell you a lot about "long term" support of Canonical and Lenovo for these machines.

The only ones that should be getting any praise are the dozens of volunteers that have been screwed by both Lenovo and Canonical into buying one of these and have made their work and support time available to others for free.

If you want to buy a Linux laptop, avoid Lenovo like the plague. They have absolutely zero quality assurance for Linux.

EDIT: link to certification: https://certification.ubuntu.com/hardware/201906-27127

what a worthless bag of bytes.
I think it's pretty clear that unencrypted communication with law enforcement access allows for the discovery of individuals you'd never find via traditional means. Over the years, I've seen this argument brought up a number of times, but oddly seldom explicitly stated:

It seems like law enforcement wants to be able to use digital communication to discover criminals, and

privacy experts want law enforcement to rely on HUMINT, a traditional warrant, and physical access.

I believe the second method is far more just, but I seldom see anyone acknowledge that it's almost certainly less effective.
They do have a binary backward compatibility date sometime in the 1960s, possibly 1964.

But from what little I remember from my intro-to-mainframes day at big blue many years ago, I think it's like some sort of multi-layered emulation now, to run code that's that old. But your "Hello World" program built on OS/360 released in 1964 will still run on modern Z/OS, or so I'm told.

Of course they're not desktop systems! (I'd hate to see the desk...)

Singing Kumbaya would fix nothing, just like looting fixes nothing - don’t strawman me. I’ve yet to see any justification for the theft and vandalism. If you believe police brutality is a systemic problem in the government, might I suggest you fix the problem in that arena instead of on the streets? If you feel compelled to protest, maybe do it in a manner that actually communicates your demands. The person who killed Floyd will be dealt with in court, and Qualified Immunity is being repealed. What are you insisting that we protest?
I would be interested to know which gnome extension in particular are you referring to :)
True, and I don't support Zooms decision. You said:

> Where is the virtual equivalent of that once zoom is not longer private?

What I meant by my comment is that there are good alternatives that are E2E and free, like FaceTime (ok you need an iPhone or Mac), WhatsApp, Signal etc. So people can just use that if they don't want to pay for Zoom (again, I don't think they're making the right decision either).
The setting is 1975, but the ideas are familiar:

"There has been a substantial relative decline in American military and economic power, and a major absolute decline in American willingness to assume the burdens of leadership. And most recently, the temporary slowdown in economic growth has threatened the expectations created by previous growth, while still leaving existent the "postbourgeois" values which it engendered among the youth and intellectuals."

"The system becomes one of anomic democracy, in which democratic politics becomes more an arena for the assertion of conflicting interests than a process for the building of common purposes."

I've just skimmed it so far, and found distasteful their general theme that the "crisis" is that there was too much of it, and the kids would not "Respect Mah Authoritah". However, they did include a dissent, which also brings up many themes that are still timely in 2020:

Appendix I.B "Excerpts of remarks by Ralf Dahrendorf on the governability study"

"Is growth presumably growth of a gross national product? Is this the only kind of expansion of human life chances which we can think of in free societies?"
Can't Zoom encrypt everything and silently drop encryption with a court subpoena? That sounds like the right thing to do.

So no business or leadership experience just buy a company, will all go well?
This all seems rather moot:

1. There is no way to verify that you are actually connected to a particular person. i.e. Zoom has no identity management.

2. The client is closed source and can't be verified.

3. Zoom can trivially impersonate any participant as they control the servers. They can MITM at will and they won't get caught at it.

This discussion is like talking about the security of the bank vault door when you are planning to make the vault out of drywall.
The developers have a lot more risks (the product never gets built, the product at its end isn't compelling, the founder moves on to something else and/or there never is any follow-through). The marketers are being asked to help take something that already has been built and make it take off. I think his point is a valid one that this isn't something you often see, which does run a bit counterintuitive to what you'd expect especially since commission-based structures are so common generally in sales.
Keep running your existing project and build another with the lessons learned. Think about low hanging fruits, where customers are easier to acquire. Also consider the maintenance required to maintain the business. Work backwards from there and find problems you can solve.

Starting from a point of passion and personal interest isn't always the best strategy.
