what about a man that just was talking to police, got pepper sprayed and blasted in face w/ a flare? That was definitely not excessive either...

You have a website aimed at humanity in general, and it turns out that people are interested in this kind of stuff. I think the corporate dream of having all the "good, clean, fun" with none of the complicated not-on-brand stuff is generally impossible. You have to take people as they are, whether or not you find them "deplorable". Or just run a really niche website.

While not directly a resource, I found writing agents for the JVM (java.lang.instrument agents and JVMTI agents) to be quite enlightening and rewarding. Depending on what you want to do you'll have to deal with bytecode transformation/instrumentation, JVM events, JNI and many other things. For example, have you ever thought about how a java debugger (JPDA, JDI, JDWP) works or a tool such as OverOps (Takipi)?

Not only did Sun lose a lot of money on Java, they got other people (I remember Borland and IBM but there were probably others) to throw away money for a few critical years. Why the new CEO of the merged ParcPlace/Digitalk thought it would be good idea to abandon the lucrative Smalltalk niche to focus his company on this bloodbath I will probably never know.

That's correct. I was also wondering about SDK tools that are useful for increasing user engagement.
I think rewriting is a great option, provided both options are weighed up appropriately.

However saying this, we made the decision to rewrite a legacy system around a year ago and the project got parked due to "urgent" projects being fed to our team. This was frustrating but we could not account for this external factor when weighing up the options.
By questioning their approach, you're trying to justify the status quo, which is what has gotten us George Floyd and all others.

You have to at least show how your approach is not the status quo; that is simply no longer acceptable.

Honor, transparency and accountability are the tools of reconciliation and justice.

From Socrates to MLK, Moses to Mandela, the moral duty has always been to reject that which is unjust to others even if it benefits yourself.

You're asking us to "understand" an immoral position - the privilege to hold unpopular opinions and benefit from laws and systems that support those opinions.

It cannot abide.
Some of it you pickup or remember from the context of the file you're looking at, but you really should take the time to read the manuals for these tools from cover to cover at some point if you're making extensive use of them.

At which point you find a trail leading to some Russian hackers who stole the credit card and then sold it for cryptocurrency over the internet to the person you're looking for, who they have never met.

It's square one. It's no easier to trace the anonymous buyer of a stolen credit card than the anonymous Zoom user to begin with.

so therefore, if all i see is ads at first, it's entirely reasonable to claim that i get a page full of ads.
> 'Encryption', while it would make it harder to snoop on your calls from third parties, will not 'protect' you from lawful intercept.

Yes it will, it will make the intercept so expensive that it will not make sense anymore for them to do it.

In the first case, all they need to do to intercept is to call Zoom headquarters, or even just go to some pre-setup website and just enter the identity of the user and voíla you have the data. The cost is 1 man-hour of an agent.

In the second case, the Zoom doesn't have technical ability to break the encryption, and to "lawfully intercept" they need to either break your phone or physically break into your home to install some devices, or construct elaborate servers to trick your phone into thinking it talks to real Zoom, or use the supercomputers to break some of the encryption, or use some of their hidden stashed 0-day, and thus risk exposing it by using it, and not be able to use it later for a real threat. Cost of this can be astronomical for breaking a single user. (And all of that is even more true for open-source solutions.)

Also a lot of people disdain this not because they are terrorists. They disdain this type of surveillance because it has been shown many times that governments do not just track terrorists, they always end up abusing their power and track everyone, and there are agents who sometimes just make fun of people and read their emails etc. Didn't you read any of the Snowden material that was published? Encryption prevents exactly this type of ABUSE of the power by the government.
If you are unfamiliar with the history of my country, then don't speak up to dismiss my description of it as "sounds like a crazy conspiracy theory," especially without so much as googling the phrase "black wall street" which isn't at all hard to find.

We don't hear about it because whites in America aren't comfortable hearing about it. Another comment in this discussion indicates it was actively covered up and expunged from local history records.

I think it's perfectly reasonable to have multiple reasons for doing something. Making money and deterring malicious users are both valid reasons. Some forums have paid fees for the purpose of deterring unwanted users (MetaFilter, Something Awful, Bitcoin Wiki in the past), so it's certainly a strategy with a precedent.
Sounds like an impressive chemical; it’s made by the decay of a Tritium molecule, T2, and is the strongest acid.

If the build is reproducible, you can analyze the source, compile it and verify they're distributing the correct binary. If the build isn't reproducible for some reason, you can still do this on some subset of the code.

Now, of course, the binary is what gets executed, so it is the ground truth.
Well, even if all of your software was open source, do you have the time to validate all of it, from the app to the OS? what about the CPU?
"Steam Engine" isn't what I'd call the JVM; it's still a remarkable piece of software driving hundreds of thousands business apps with a strong focus on long-term maintenance, excellent mindshare, and really very good performance for what it does (though in somewhat of a stasis with Java9+ deprecation, and Spring-centric development). However, I get what you mean: the JVM was originally intended as a portable runtime for set-top boxes at a time when there were many ISAs (MIPS, PPC, etc.) around, and not just x86 and ARM like today. I believe Java is still a mandatory part of BlueRay disc players. It was also at one time a candidate for running in the browser (also reflected in the Java/JavaScript naming). Incidentally, Java was rejected in the browser by browser vendors, and JavaScript became "more like Java" instead, and has followed a similar path from being a browser language to being used also on the server-side (something that Netscape started already in 1996 or so).

Edit: also I want to mention that Java was IMO the single one tech that saved the scene from being an Microsoft-only world, and also significantly paved the way for today's Linux dominance on the server-side; Java was picked by many devs because it helped to keep open the door for migrating to Solaris or Linux in an increasingly MS-dominated landscape in mid 90's
Punctuated equilibrium in large-scale evolution of programming languages (2015)
"Medicine is a form of engineering in which the physician takes some action (drug, surgery, etc.) to alter the behavior of a physical system, the patient. Its underlying science is biology. Hence our ability to characterize medical knowledge depends on our ability to represent and validate biological knowledge."

This is really very wrong. The 'physical system' is conscious and suffering, which excludes Medicine from even the most vaporous definition of engineering. Real progress in medicine is much more akin to exploration (in the Christopher Columbus sense) than engineering.

Anyway, this is a typical engineer writing about biology. They always make the same mistakes:

1. Ignoring evolution.
2. Treating mechanistic models as first class citizens with disdain for data (eventhough the latter in the form of DNA is the sine qua non of all life)
3. Failing to understand that "The simplest complete model of an organism is the organism itself."[1] as von Neumann noted.

No, at the time it was mocked but over time people's attitudes changed. It even has a Wikipedia page.

No, it wasn't mentioned much in media for most of the 100 intervening years because it makes White people uncomfortable. (Well, and perhaps because it makes the kind of White people that almost no one in the public eye wants to acknowledge though some want to quietly court too comfortable.)

Though it did play a central role in the HBO Watchmen series' single season.

(To be fair, it does sound like a crazy conspiracy theory. When it comes to race, though, lots of things that sound like crazy conspiracy theories are true in the US, which perhaps shouldn't be all that surprising when you realize things like, for example, that the KKK, which is something of an overt crazy racist conspiracy, was a major factor in US politics well into the 20th Century.)

Question for you regarding your usage of collectivism though: You say you have empathy for the police. Yet by your own definition of collectivism, the crowd is no longer innocent the moment they're attacking the police.

Why are you not applying the same logic to the police state? The police murdered George Floyd, so doesn't that imply the police are no longer innocent at this point? Why is only one side beholden to rights and responsibilities? At that point isn't it your obligation to stand up to a group becoming criminal?

How about picking up a history book.

In 1773, King George was upping taxes while not providing adequate representation. Colonists thought this was an abuse of power, so they robbed and looted a huge boat filled with tea, which set off events that led to the American Revolution. Look it up, I'm sure there's a wikipedia article or something, it's pretty famous event in history.

As far as I can tell, the only peaceful method of coping with it is to immediately move to another country.

I’ve often had similar thoughts. It seems that either authoritarianism or complete anarchy are the only solutions being presented. In that case, I reject both. Some ideas are worth dying for. Particularly life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

>it seems to work better to build an understanding up rather than down.

I think especially because it's so different you should start with broad concepts and examples, so that the learner can create a broad mental model where they can fill in the details. Otherwise if you hit them with a barrage of details they won't remember any of them later on, because they don't fit anywhere into a broader concept and are disorganized.

Give a few examples that do something useful, show what they're doing differently than other package managers, then break down these examples into the details.
None, at least not directly. It's an allotrope which can only exist under extreme physical conditions.

There are many such allotropes of well-known substances. For instance, solid water has over a dozen allotropes (including ice-IX, or "ice-nine", which will not turn you into a human popsicle). Most of the interesting allotropes of ice only form under pressures of >100 MPa, so they are never seen under terrestrial conditions. The same applies to most other allotropes, with a few notable exceptions in metals and metalloids (like tin and sulphur).

It's unclear to me what the author of the article had in mind when they suggested the "potential" that "black nitrogen might have for electronics". Unless the author is imagining electronics which must be placed under immense pressure and heated to thousands of degrees to remain stable?

While I believe there is quite a lot of waste, I still think that such a change would have a huge impact on movie making and other things.

I don't know enough about the Blender movies and the cost involved, so I have to adress it in a "strawman" like way by comparing it to open software:
Having volunteers working on it for free greatly reduces cost, but diminishes that those often have jobs in the related industry, indirectly funding the project and helping the peoples skills.
Switching to free software for everyone (forbidding advertisements and data collection for further income of course!) on a small tax scheme would very likely have a devastating consequence medium term for open source software as well.

But all of this is just speculation by me.
I would love to have something like this but self-hosted and without the Firebase dependency. But maybe this would be a starting point.
Don't get me started on browser certificates. That's a whole week of my life I'll never get back.

The short versiom of it is, your browser trusts CAs to say whether a certificate is valid. But CAs often trust other CAs who may not actually be that trustworthy. Those CAs then trust other CAs who definitely are not as trustworthy... Etc.

So that certificate/padlock picture in your browser may not be as trustworthy as you think. It's an active problem.
there are channels of police and other agencies that can be encrypted, generally of course for the police to be encrypted the local municipality needs to decide to do that and pay the bills, hence it doesn't happen - which is a good thing.

I'm thinking a traffic analysis app https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_analysis might be useful for when encryption becomes more widespread.

Latest upgrade of their macOS app bricked me and I have to use Zoom in the browser. We have a paid account and started to record our meetings and post on YouTube, although I've increased the quality setting, it's still 360p! In general, it's the most complex and confusing app, it's expensive, and the quality of the software is the worst. Unfortunately, Google Hangouts Meet isn't better and it has much higher internet connection requirements so our nonprofit was forced to use Zoom. Unfortunately, Jitsi Meet is even worse. It's kinda ridiculous that Zoom has no popular alternative in 2020.
No laws were broken by publishing the DNC/Podesta emails. It is not illegal to embarrass politicians by exposing their corruption.

"their constructive proof of the Lovász Local Lemma".

How many of the self proclaimed computer scientist would be able to read the math formulas Cynthia Dwork (latest Knuth Prize winner) wrote in her paper The Algorithmic Foundations of Differential Privacy?

That's what you get from a Computer Science degree.

How many of those theorems became understandable to someone just from coding? You have to hit the books, the CS-books.

It's like someone saying they know law because they know english, and english is what is used in the end.
