There was the case of the guy working for the company involved in the Obama campaign who published a paper based on a study of an african-american professor saying that historically speaking violent riots will lead to more right leaning people voting. He got called out a racist, made to apologise, got fired and ostracised in his research community. Would you say he got boycotted?

Out of all of the Microsoft DNS bug submissions I've seen so far today this summary from Wired provides the best take on it.

What fascinated me was
>The firm says that despite the 17 years that SigRed has lingered in Windows DNS, it has yet to find any indication of an attack on its clients' networks so far.

Wow, that's a long time for it to be open and undiscovered (or perhaps more accurately not known to have been actively exploited). When I see things like this (and other bugs) I wonder how often things that 'couldn't happen unless user visited $bad url' turn out to be a false accusation. Sure - HIGHLY unlikely but, if you ever find yourself in a position of determining somebody's guilt, consider this bug and whether you would have (in 2003) have said it was even a possibility.
I'm not sure about the legality. Pretty sure that GDPR says you have to inform people before you process (store, transmit, etc.) their personal data (like IP+timestamp), but in practice it's often afterwards or not at all. The speed camera doesn't have to tell you what data will be collected and what your rights are before giving you a ticket and the trajectcontrole doesn't tell you anything at all (if you didn't drive too fast) despite processing your license plate.

I'm not sure why that is legal, so then perhaps collecting this without a legal basis (consent, fulfillment of a contract, vital interest of the data subject, etc.) is also legal, but that doesn't exempt the site from the right to view your data or the right to object to having your data processed if there is no grounds for it.

Of course, there are no repercussions if the domain is registered and hosted in a country that doesn't tell the EU who's behind it or doesn't do extradition and there are no European assets to cease. Worst they can do then is block the site from Europe like they did with The Pirate Bay and similar sites.
Government Rescinds Plan to Strip Visas From Foreign Students in Online Classes
A funny side-effect of this that I ran into: customers who went to tortuous lengths to avoid requesting a new page or button, because they’d had that past experience of ‘just a button’ taking 2 weeks. They still wanted all the new functionality, but glued onto the existing pages/buttons because they thought it would save time! An interesting misunderstanding :)

Open source big data analytics – Apache Kylin 101 [online event]
To be frank sadly many people are just plain ego driven as it is part of their identity and want to be "right" over any actual truthfulness or results. It is unfortunately a full spectrum tendency and not limited bipartisan and not limited to extremes although they may manifest differently and there are cases beyond their "stereotype".

The further left are infamous for being fractious over increasingly petty and pedantic differences and purity spirals to try to self differentiate (famously satirized in the Life of Brian with the Judean People's Front and variants), the far right or authoritarians in general staying loyal to some "strong" cause even when it is obviously incredibly bad for them to the point where "slugs for salt" is an old joke, and moderates accept any old bullshit if it fits in their norms and justifies themselves in some way even if it is utterly abhorrent and proven morally wrong and foolish later like the community's shameful mistreatment of Ryan White during AIDS panics along with breathlessly accepting any ole bullshit if it "doesn't rock thr boat". Nowhere and nobody is immune to it because we are all human.

I was born and lived there until 2016. The problem is both things, there is a huge malfunctioning of the government and the society has became conformist of what they have. But, you cannot discard the US as a pretty bad influence on how things are over there. More so in recent years since Trump. I always say if the US gets out of the way, Cubans will free themselves. When there is nobody to blame, people will question the system. When Obama lifted some restrictions over the island I visited there and saw a huge change on people's mentality and there was an entrepreneurship spirit, down that path things would have changed a lot. Now people are more blocked, more hungry, with less resources and with state media blaming the US, they will not think about anything else than survive. I say all this as somebody that doesn't like communism but neither the system in the US, they are both brutal in different ways imho.
Looks good, but you might want to get a little editing help just to sharpen up the language - a liberal arts major would help fix various little things quite quickly I suspect.

E.g. "I spoke in [more than a hundred conferences]" - I think "I spoke at" is better. However, my background is UK English so perhaps this is an Americanism.

Next para:

"I was fortunate enough to be in contact with some of the best software engineers in the industry, but I also met a lot of programmers who are still doing the same thing for many years."

McCarthy was a senator in high levels of government. When I consider who I'm employing to be around the people around me, I expect them to be judged on their merits of the job, not their country of origin or visa status.

You can criticize H1B programs and their abuse, but saying there are too many Chinese and Indians explicitly and rejecting them for that is not "McCarthyism".

It is a horror when a private political opinion can get you fired, de-platformed, and removed from society.
The ideal me hopes it was because someone at ICE had a humane heart. Someone who read through the outrage and uproar, internalized the problem and convinced everyone that they needed to rescind this.

But given their actions over the past 4 years and the general cruelty of Trump administration, I'm leaning towards "a deal" or rather someone in Trump admin realizing its hurting their voter base.
2 is the answer. They probably hardly cared whether the rule was successfully implemented. They succeeded in spreading FUD and in the future, prospective international students will think twice before deciding to study in the US. The damage is done.
a cheap, reliable indicator which doesn't emit light but to my knowledge something like this doesn't exist.

In the decades before LEDs, VFDs, and vacuum tube indicators existed, there were plenty of these. The ones I disassembled operated with magnets. When current was applied, the magnet held the indicator behind the viewing window. When the current went off, gravity pulled the notification into the viewing window.

The indicator was usually something like a solid yellow block of plastic, or yellow diagonal stripes with the word FAIL in the middle. They were super common, but I don't know if there's a specific word for them.

Technology has no political badges or flags. First of all, scientists and engineers are not political actors.

Once again withe the non-arguments and strawmen. These exchanges do nothing but prove my point.

Criticizing the CCP's actions in Hong Kong, for example, is not sinophobic. Criticizing their treatment of the Uighurs is not sinophobic, and criticizing their attempts at intelligence collection and propaganda is not sinophobic. Yet all have been called such at some point in Hacker News comments in recent posts.

And my point was that the strategy of sowing discord among one's rivals is thousands of years old and been proven effective. Would you prefer the example of the British in the Middle East? To suggest that the current CCP is unaware of or uninterested in promoting such a strategy is laughable.
The simple version of etcd still exists. Nobody deleted the code. Just use that.
Good question!

I manage a few on premise servers, running docker containers, with ansible. I have some app version-specifc playbooks that I run when necessary (eg. a version that requires changes on the server) and a playbook.sh script to run such playbooks (that provides some default values, logging etc).

I've been thinking about adding a cli that would make it easier to prompt the user for values, and execute certain work flows depending on the values. I'm not sure if it's worth the effort though, and wonder if it's something that's easier done with ansible.

I wonder what other people have done in similar situations.

Hell Oh World! Revisiting the first program we write in C – Siddhesh Poyarekar
Intel has had Core i3,i5, and i7 lines for a decade, and when Ryzen was announced they had 3, 5, and 7, which was clearly meant for comparison against Intel. Intel created the i9 line shortly after Ryzen's launch, which you could reasonably claim was a natural progression. The introduction and numbering of Ryzen 9 was clearly a response to Intel having a tier that AMD didn't, the +2 happened not because it was the natural thing to do, it happened because that's what Intel did. If Intel had called i9 the i10, AMD definitely wouldn't have called their new tier Ryzen 9, they would have called it Ryzen 10.

What a strange comment. "The benefit of this protocol is that it's so complex that nobody understands it, so they have to use an existing implementation."
> But this should never have been an issue to begin with, think of all the unnecessary stress and anxiety this has caused for the hundreds of thousands of international students impacted by this.

More importantly, the long term damage is done. The noise was heard loud and clear that America is only as competent as its leader. Prospective future students are likely going to be ultra careful before choosing this country.
> and just stick to the facts

Except that it would also be sticking to the facts, no?

If you pour out a bag of marbles and find that all of the marbles are the same color, reporting that all of the marbles were the same color would be reporting just the facts.

But what you're suggesting to do isn't downplaying conclusions, it's downplaying the findings. Instead of reporting that the bag is filled with marbles all of the same color, you'd just report that the bag is filled with marbles. But the marbles all being the same color is still factual, and not reporting that leaves out something potentially important.
I did read past the summary, and I did draw the conclusion that the only evidence they have is what you quoted - that one of the persons involved also operated an overseas freelance journalist network. Even if it were true - for which there's zero evidence so far - that would only mean the writers of the sites aren't located in the places they are writing about. I don't see any reason to present it as nefarious "masquerading" - you can write about state court cases in Sacramento without living next door to the court. If they still report local news, there's no reason to call them "masquerading".

As for scary "hyperpartisan", what I see is that some right-leaning organizations (and some left-leaning ones) own some news sites. There's not even evidence that it influences the editorial policy in any way (that very well may happen, but the authors don't even bother to provide any evidence), let alone so much that it warrants the "hyper" designation. Also, conflating "funded by" and "operated" adds another level of confusion. If I pay for NYT subscription, it's "funded by" me now. Does it mean I determine NYT editorial policy? Obviously, it is important to see the structure of the funding, and small one-time donation is not the same as whole ownership and operation, and the ownership of right-leaning think tank (e.g. Cato Institute) is not the same as ownership by a political candidate. It comes out as if any news ite owned by someone who has publicized political views is now "hyperpartisan".

So my conclusion is sensationalism based on thinnest of evidence and a lot of murky innuendo.
> any comment that isn’t 100% backing the CCP falls to a negative score in a matter of minutes

This is so bizarrely remote from accurate that I don't know what else to tell you. As far as I can tell, the only explanation for this sort of wild misassessment is that people's perceptions are extremely affected by their passions. The more passionate our beliefs, the more we simply can't see the datapoints that don't fit the filter.

That also explains why these claims are getting more common these days: passions are rising.

I spot checked a few of these and question the legitimacy of whatever method they are using to select these sites. For example, the one nearest me (Austin) states clearly on its landing page:

Our mission is to build a first-of-its kind media ecosystem in Texas to help get the progressive message out – to give Democrats a media signal.

This is not a partisan site "masquarading as local news". It's a partisan site openly stating that it is partisan. It doesn't pretend to be local news.

For another nearby one, I'm struggling to figure out why it is "hyperpartisan":

https://coloradovalleyguide.com/stories

I'm sure that many of the sites fit the "hyperpartisan masquerading as local news" description, but whatever method they are using to classify seems fairly inaccurate.

There was a (temporary) sand shortage due to a monsoon and availability does not imply sufficient supply. If there was no shortage of sand, even on the black market, the price would not have risen unless it was controlled by a cartel. Price capping is a good way to fight this kind of cartel because they were cornering the market by taking in all of the available supply and then raising the price.
awesome, thanks for the info :)
