I'm kinda shocked the evidence lines up, but it still seems so incredibly improbable. Like why the hell would she have any motive at all to do this? And if it's really her, what difference would it make?
I think the implication was that App Store review would catch such things. Personally, I'm not so sure, considering that Snapchat currently ships a binary with syscall instructions embedded in it.

Putting aside the question of what makes a "tecnicality," the fact that technicalities are able to be put forth and argued until a decisionmaker makes a ruling, rather than having a party decide unilaterally how to resolve the technicality, presumably at the peril of their opponent, means the system is working well.

OK, I presumed by "his blog" you were referring to Slate Star Codex. Yes, if one includes his earlier internet presences (which I don't think are mentioned in the linked article?) I'm willing to believe he has at times posted his full name, and that if you are willing to dig through some links, you can associate his current writings with those older writings. I think that at some point about a decade ago, as his medical career began, he consciously decided to stop doing this. I'm pretty sure he's been protective enough of his identity since the beginning of SSC that he hasn't published it there. So while one might easily fault his "historical operation security", I think his intent to keep this last name unassociated with SSC was clear and consistent.
One product that seems bodybuilding-hard is Google maps. When Apple maps had its calamitous introduction, I remember claims (by Google itself, I think), that Google was a decade ahead, and would remain ahead for the foreseeable future.

But for several years now, it seems to me that Apple maps has been more or less on par technically, and the case for rolling their own maps instead of relying on a third party has, if anything, gotten stronger.
It seems like a good design to me. We don't want a congress that always votes along party lines, and if there is not a strong consensus, then keeping the status-quo is often not the worst thing.

Especially since law-makers have a strong incentive to further their own careers by introducing changes. This system forces law-makers to work harder to get change passed, it often must be a change that benefits more than just a simple majority.
How can I find out which drives exactly have synchronous flush and which don't? Is it a widely publicized fact?

Note that most of these tribes were moved form somewhere out east in the 1800s (or north, tribes came from all over there was not a common culture) . Most of their culture could not be kept because the climate is different (desert, or just enough rain to technically not be desert). Much of old the way of life is not possible. Nobody alive lived in their in their own home to remember it. They are making the best they can.

the senate itself existing was a mistake. It only is fair in the context of some kind of relative equality of states, letting low-population states grind policy to a halt is inherently antidemocratic.

(by design! the point was to give smaller states a say and that itself is the problem, it is a bad idea to let a minority be able to grind all action to a halt. You say "but what if they do something I don't like" and the answer is vote them out next time, elections should have consequences and winning an election should result in a government that is able to accomplish policy. Setting it up deliberately to deadlock just because they might do something you don't like is a terrible idea and needs to stop being viewed as some kind of virtue of the design of the American system. Just because the founders did it, doesn't mean that it is a good design, they had lots of bad decisions... like slavery, and setting up the government to allow slave states to have equal control to the free states.)

if you assume some kind of relative equality of states, then on the whole the senate should approximate the house, and you can easily come to the conclusion that we really don't need the senate itself at all. abolish it and go to a unicameral system.

Similarly the parliamentary system where the executive is chosen by the majority of the legislature is a much better idea - again because it results in a government that is actually able to accomplish policy.

there is very much a reason that none of the other countries whose constitutions we wrote over the years (Japan, Germany, etc) use the American system. Everyone in power realizes that the American system is terrible and doesn't produce a mandate to govern.

But they'd need to filter out traffic for a specific suspect. It's unlikely that their approach will be to try to install trojans on every client computer that has traffic that goes through some DC. And if they want to take over a server they know the location of: they already can.

From my experience in a case where a previous version of that tech has been involved (though normal LE, not intelligence), they do take all the available measures to only hit the target, it's not a shot gun approach.
I wanted to provide a little near-contenporary source material to back up this answer which ought to be read by everyone. From Suetonius' The Twelve Caesars:

"The violent death of Caligula [the previous emperor] afforded the Romans a fresh opportunity to have asserted the liberty of their country; but the conspirators had concerted no plan, by which they should proceed upon the assassination of that tyrant; and the indecision of the senate, in a debate of two days, on so sudden an emergency, gave time to the caprice of the soldiers to interpose in the settlement of the government.

By an accident the most fortuitous, a man devoid of all pretensions to personal merit, so weak in understanding as to be the common sport of the emperor’s household, and an object of contempt even to his own kindred; this man, in the hour of military insolence, was nominated by the soldiers as successor to the Roman throne."

Sorry, but don't project your needs onto others.

It is still useful enough to know if someone looked at your github repos when you're looking for a job. Typically this is useful when a visitor also hits other sites related to you like your Linkedin, or gets a link to your github from a printed resume, etc. It lets you know someone is interested and during a job search that can be useful information. It doesn't have to be only about "vanity", but maybe you're applying some kind of narrow view on the rest of the world.

Sure, but I think it's stupid to be so focused on creating the next network-effect-monopolizer. There just aren't as many opportunites to do that as VC money seems to think. In the Uber-or-Lyft example, most drivers drive for both. Nice network monopoly you've got there.

If/when Github gets around to fixing it, I've already had it working for many years so even if it wasn't "meant to last", it's already lasted quite a while and I have no regrets.

In my intern days some time around 10 years ago, a PI at the NASA GRC facility told me about a problem of this flavor an old grad student of his had.

The guy was working on an optical sensor in a light-tight lab. Every morning, he came in, calibrated the sensor, and performed measurements. All morning, it held calibration with negligible drift. But when he came back from lunch, each time, the calibration had drifted off.

Could it be related to the time of day? He tried taking his lunch an hour earlier and an hour later. Each time, the calibration was rock solid until right after lunch.

In spite of protocol, he tried eating lunch in the lab, no one else in or out. Before lunch: good calibration. After lunch: bad calibration.

He tried not eating lunch at all. That day, the calibration held all day.

How could an optical sensor have any concept of whether its user had eaten lunch? It turned out, it only had to do with the lunch box. The sensor was fiber coupled, and it was sensitive to changes in transmission losses generated by changes to local radii of the patch chord. Every morning, the grad student set his lunch box down on the lab bench, nudging the fiber into some path. After eating, he’d replace his lunch box on the bench, nudging the fiber into a different path.

After that, the fiber was secured with fixed conduit, and lunch boxes no longer entered the lab.
Why is Rome important here? I can see the symmetry between Rome and what USA currently has - different rich powerful groups arguing and ignoring half the people, for example; rife corruption and nepotism - but how is Rome a model for a democracy, and one that seeks (in theory) not to divide the people into ruling and subservient classes at that?

Just a data point, with my current team, everyone jumped right in and wrote code and wrote tests from the start. The tests were integration tests that depended on the test database. Worked great at first, but then tests started failing sporadically as it grew. Turning off parallelism helped a bit, but not entirely. Stories starting taking longer too, where features entailed broad changes - it felt like every story was leading to merge conflicts and interdependency, where one person didn't want to implement their fix until someone else finished something that would change the code they were going to work on.

So then I came along and said, "hey, why don't we have any unit testing?" and it turns out because it was pretty impossible to write unit tests with our code. So I refactored some code and gave a presentation on writing testable code - how the point of unit testing isn't just to have lots of unit tests, how it's more that it encourages writing testable code, and that the point of having testable code means that your codebase is then easier to change quickly.

I even showed a simple demonstration based off of four boolean parameters and some simple business logic, showing that if it were one function, you'd have to write 16 tests to test it exhaustively, but if you refactored and used mocking, you'd only have to write 12. That surprised people. Through that we reinforced some simple guidelines of how we'd like to separate our code, focusing on pure functions when possible, making layers mockable. We don't even have a need for a complicated dependency injection framework as long as we reduce the # of dependencies per layer.

Since that time we've separated our test suite into integration tests and unit tests, with instructions to rewrite integration tests to unit tests if possible. (Some integration tests are worthwhile, but most were just because unit tests were hard at that time.) We turned parallelism back on for the unit test suite. The unit tests aren't flaky, and now people are running the unit test suite in an infinite loop in their IDE. Over that time our codebase has gotten better structured, we have less interdependence and merge conflicts, morale has improved, velocity has gone up.

Anyway, according to this article it sounds like we've done basically the opposite of what we should have done.
Which ones for example? On the one hand, I sometimes feel the same, but OTOH I don't want this thing to get so bloated with "social" features instead of features to get things done :)

They're not saying the treaty must be honored. They're saying, unlike the many other treaties that were explicitly invalidated by laws passed, these ones were never really directly addressed so they must de facto still stand.

Also, no where near 50% of the US was ever granted in treaties. The vast majority was simply taken militarily without compromise.

It's even simpler than that, the US has a codified system of nepotism in place called legacy admissions, which has been in place for several decades [1].

They refer to nepotism as "deep Harvard experience", that's the only difference.

Yes and no.

First, I'm sure we all agree that police brutality and murder are wrong. Second, the police are not the criminal justice system. They are law enforcement.

Ultimately, those cars enable quite a lot of good as well. Lives saved. Property saved. And so on. That doesn't make the wrongs forgivable. But where are Fords exported? Saudi Arabia? China? How much work does Ford do that's DOD related? If we zoom out a bit, police cars feel like chump change.

I am not saying that this is a legal argument for how this case should have been resolved.

I'm saying that this is a legal argument against the specific reasoning within the decision. That reasoning being, Unlawful acts, performed long enough and with sufficient vigor, are never enough to amend the law. And yet here is a well-established example where an unlawful act, performed long enough and with sufficient vigor, does become enough to amend the law.

I picked you to respond to because of the several people pointing out in one way or another that squatters rights (which, incidentally, has its own doctrines separate from latches) does not actually apply as a way to resolve this case.
They did, the article points out that this was caused by a regression. Fixing a memory leak made it such that it reenabled an old bug.

Let's try it this way.

For any given website, more likely than not they would want the Internet Archive to archive it.

For any given internet user, more likely than not they wouldn't want a website to track them for the purposes of advertising and price discrimination.

This tells us what the defaults should be in each case, and let the exceptions change the setting if they want.

Neat trick. Is this any faster than pg_dump and pg_load? Note: there's plenty of optimization you can apply to pg_dump and even use pg_restore, none applied below.

Like so:

function save_database() {
mkdir -p /tmp/database-snapshots
DATABASE_NAME=$PROJECT_NAME
pg_dump -Fc "$DATABASE_NAME" >"/tmp/database-snapshots/$DATABASE_NAME.dump"
}

function restore_database() {
DATABASE_NAME=$PROJECT_NAME
DATABASE_DUMP="/tmp/database-snapshots/$DATABASE_NAME.dump"

if [ ! -f "$DATABASE_DUMP" ]; then
echo "No dump to restore"
return
else
psql postgres -c 'SELECT pg_terminate_backend(pid) FROM pg_stat_activity WHERE pid <> pg_backend_pid()'
psql postgres -c "DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS \"$DATABASE_NAME\""
psql postgres -c "CREATE DATABASE \"$DATABASE_NAME\""
pg_restore -Fc -j 8 -d "$DATABASE_NAME" "$DATABASE_DUMP"
fi
}
I talked with someone from a North American company which runs their product on SuSE. And asked why SuSE was chosen instead of more popular Red Hat. Apparently Red Hat wasn't providing the premier level of support the company needed so they went with SuSE.
It’s always a snake eating it’s tail scenario with jailbreaking. Apple takes popular tweaks and integrates them with the next IOS.
Side-loading isn’t that bad but the method keeps changing...Usually for the better.

Jail breaking cuts into their profit a small amount because the community is small.

https://www.reddit.com/r/jailbreak

The benefits are very much worth it though. Most have had iOS 13 features since iOS 11/12. They have iOS 14 features now. Then there are other features that may not be released ever but people find them invaluable.

Ex: Per app specific Firewall per website. (Block tracking/ads)

-Disable apps ability to spy on your clipboard.

-Disable apps from accessing things you do not want them to but still launch.

-Themes, so many options: remove your status bar or put new things there.

-Custom widgets

-Detailed wifi, phone information

-Download old versions of apps because the company broke something.

-Detailed phone/memory/cpu info

-Terminal access.

Those are just a few off the top of my head.
Was Opera's "Turbo" mode not a similar feature? A feature launched in the early mobile/late dail-up days. Albeit the proxy CDN was provided by Opera. It would take proxy JPEGs, compress them more, serve them from an edge node. It don't think it was marketed as a privacy feature but mostly bandwidth/speed. But in theory if you trust Opera, you'd get more privacy?
TL;DR background for this one: there existed a zero day bug in iOS 11 related to how the kernel processed the lio_listio call. Apple fixed it then but introduced a memory leak. In iOS 13 Apple fixed the memory leak but reintroduced the vulnerability. The regression was found and packaged in a obfuscated jailbreaking tool (unc0ver); this post explains how the tool was deobfuscated. This resulted in an "emergency" iOS 13.5.1 update to fix the issue. Interestingly this fix still does not fully fix the memory leak: https://www.synacktiv.com/posts/exploit/the-fix-for-cve-2020...
