Isn't Barrier a free OSS Synergy? The Synergy I know is paid, 49 for the option with encryption. I even wanted to buy, but rebooted my MacBookAir back in Windows (which I use 99% of time). For the 1% of time Barrier is fine.

Have you read the rest of my comment and what I wanted to say? Of course there is a difference. I am saying, the difference does not really matter, because "being lawful" does not really matter when it comes to war crimes.

The Nazis acted "lawfully" under their jurisdiction, but because the laws themself were unjust, it is widely recognized that they in fact did not act lawfully and so they have been trialed for it. It's called "legal positivism". The concept means, that there is in fact no difference between "law" and "moral", when it comes to war crimes. Ironically, it was the US, which established that concept.
Wow, there is an incredible amount of hate for Electron. I understand the desire to avoid it with consumer apps and it feels strange to have large companies using it, but I'm honestly a huge fan of what they've been able to do with it for GUI design. I'm a roboticist who has been stuck in the 90s with tools like tkinter / qt / whatever, and electron has finally enabled me to build something modern for control and monitoring. It's been a godsend, but maybe that's why we are seeing so much adoption in the commercial space.
> Well it seems that Paypal decided recently that why bother confirming email addresses. Just let anyone use any email address. They send a confirmation email, yes. But then accept the address no matter if they receive the answer or not.

Hah, I don't remember receiving a confirmation email. Unfortunately, there's no way to disavow an email address from someone's account either, which means I can't use that particular email for PayPal.

>Later, the police were literally fighting unions. Again, there are many instances of police disrupting union events with violence including open gunfire on union members.

This reminds me of the luddites. Everyone thinks Luddites are an example old fashioned people trying to hold back progress when it was more like what happens when you have a large unemployed group of people protesting on the streets. Some of them started a riot against factories but not because they hated technology, they hated the business owners. The way the government decided to deal with the Luddites is by suppressing them through police and military violence.

The moral of the story isn't "get with the times", it's that business interests take priority over human lives.
Any thoughts about how the difference in telomere length in lab-mice vs non-lab-mice might also play a role?
It's lower level than either gentoo or arch. You are literally going through and running the build process for each installed package.

As for bootstrapping, it's been a while since I did it, but that was mostly just setting up grub and pointing it at your newly minted kernel. Grub handles all the "where is this on the disk" issues for you.
The fact this has taken so long to process - and by all means not complete yet - doesn’t paint a pretty picture of the system as a whole.

Crimes are no issue for the persecution of Snowden.

Clapper lied, on camera, under oath, admitted it and has had zero consequences. Kept his job. Has not had to defend a prosecution. Now he's using is former position and influence to get rich. It's lawbreaking from the top. Nothing to discuss about it.

Sadly the rule of law and equality before it is a thing that needs to be re-established.
Interestingly enough, there's aMule (http://www.amule.org/) which is almost the same as eMule but using wxWidgets, making it cross platform. Just launched it and downloaded a bunch of things, and it sits on 64mb mem and around 2% CPU.

I do think he asked himself that question.

edit: Saying Russia is the main benefactor of the leaks sounds like evidence of long lost cold war thinking to be honest.

Perhaps it would also be to the benefit of the targets of surveillance? Because if you wouldn't want to hand Russia a win, not subjecting the population to surveillance would have been quite the strategy in this case.

This kind of control is nothing compared to what Neuralink has set out to do. Also note that all of these existing brain control devices are incredibly fatiguing. You get minutes of use before you just can't do it anymore. That's light years away from embedding an AI in someone's brain. Their goal isn't steroids on old science, it's all the steroids in the entire world, plus all the cocaine in the entire world, plus all the caffeine in the entire world... and then some.

Also not sure how 12 years old is considered "old technology", when we're comparing this to SpaceX, that has been improving on tech originally developed in the 1960s.
Why should anyone think that would happen? Trump has no particular moral standard, does not particularly care whether or not laws are being followed, and only does what he believes will get some applause from his base at any given moment (and his base could not care less about Snowden).
That's the paradox: Germany took in over 1.4 million "refugees" from Syria and North Africa (predominantly young, healthy males), and they still couldn't find ~20k temp workers to pick up asparagus this summer. They lamented how Polish people can't come anymore, due to COVID-19 lockdown. So no, it's definitely not the lack of immigrants, they are just wrong kind of immigrants, the too-lazy-to-work kind.
Apart from the joys of having an OG email address of my first and last name, which is neither a very common or uncommon name, I have also created handles, for the sake of privacy, using slight variations of my name. It has always been easy, with a slight creative twist, to be able to create quite short and plain english versions without all the extra numbers and letters.

I also had in the early days of facebook the username 'qetuo' which was very convenient. Though has since been picked up years later by some chancer, after my having deleted my initial account. Though I did introduce the idea to some friends, who then created usernames such as 'tyghv' or 'rtfgv' which are sort of OG qwerty convenient usernames.

Why so sure? Are you saying this program probably was legal after all and this court made a mistake?
Exactly. The dominant global superpower has no interest in international tribunals, since it has the power to enforce its will directly. They are above the law because they don't need the law as leverage against anybody else.

Joining the ICC has no upside for this country since it simply enforces its will upon the world directly. Why would the empire limit its own ability to commit war crimes for nothing in return? The US government can label any action it disagrees with as terrorism and act unilaterally.
You're right, of course: I should have written 'discovered.'
Nothing particularly surprising here. US - probably the only country in recent history where you get decorated after downing a civilian airliner killing everyone aboard - protects its war criminals, it makes them more effective.

Thousands of shops like this must have closed in the UK over the past 20 years.

I grew up in neighbouring Leicestershire and in my town we had numerous butchers, greengrocers, fishmongers - much of the produce was sourced locally and sold wrapped in paper / paper bags and we used to walk into town to buy it.

Now we drive to buy those goods from a single supermarket, flown in from all corners of the globe and wrapped in layer upon layer of plastic.

You need to have what's called "Meisterbrief" to run a bakery. That's the equivalent of having studied. You need 3 years of apprenticeship, then you make what's called "Gesellenprüfung", then you need to work at least 2 years in a bakery and then you need to go back to school for two years. That's quite some effort and it's not lacking formal qualifications.

Also, running a bakery is a fairly capital-heavy investment. Friends of ours closed their bakery when the oven broke - it would have cost at least 50k to repair and that was the point they decided to retire (despite offers from many people in the street to chip in).
Java Cryptography Uses in the Wild
Parent is more right than wrong; while armies were fed by forage, local purchase, and outright looting, they were also necessarily localised and the apparatus for total war didn't really exist until railways, despite Napoleon beginning mass mobilisation.

The Grande Armee marching across Europe would have made a huge impact to the zone within a day's ride of it, and much less outside of that. It was the 20th century which made giant fronts and mass bombing of civilians behind the front possible. Not that previous war was without its atrocities (Magdeburg), but the scale was proportionally smaller.

And, yes, tax and fiscal policy was completely dominated by warmaking related costs. As the state was much smaller and had little remit outside that.

"Nationalism was not a concept yet" also deserves looking at; the map looked very different, with either huge loose polyglot empires (Austria-Hungary, HRE) or smaller monarchial states, and the idea of self in the world that people would have had looked very different. Especially for much of the middle of that period it was bound more to religion.

Wirelessly transmitting devices have a lot of regulations on what they can transmit, they need to be certified by the FCC, and are not allowed to transmit in certain frequency bands beyond a certain power.

Some of the discussion here is asserting that this is just induction (i.e. a changing magnetic field causing a changing electric field in the radio, rather than the radio antenna picking up the signal). if that's the case, I'm unsure about why the radio would need to be set to a specific frequency to pick this up (is the proposed inductance in the speaker wire?). Magnetic fields drop off very quickly (with the inverse square of distance) so this is also why people are saying this would be a very short range effect.

The other options seem to be a faulty device actually emitting electromagnetic waves in the stated frequency domain, or an actual fault in general with iphones emitting at that frequency.

The last one would likely have very large consequences for apple (i.e. iphones not able to be sold in the US, and then probably most other markets with similar regulations, i.e. anywhere). Companies tend to be pretty strict on the testing of these things due to the large repercussions, which is why I assume people think it's unlikely.

What I don't know is the repercussions for apple producing some faulty devices that would broadcast EM radiation like that, can anyone fill me in on that?
> If ADHD is not a disorder, but a mismatch with a human environment, then suddenly it’s not a medical issue. It’s an issue for educational reform. And that is a compelling thought, given the evidence that kids’ focus and cognition are improved by physical activity. Still, we need to take this study with a grain of salt. There is a large body of research showing other biological factors when it comes to ADHD. For instance, there is evidence that premature birth increases rates of ADHD later.

So speaking as someone with adult ADHD who is getting by without medication with the right lifestyle choices, this sounds a bit like arguing that cardiovascular diseases are not medical issues, they're lifestyle problems.

I mean, yeah, in both cases the problems very much are largely caused by our lifestyles. But these lifestyles still affects me differently than how it affects most other people. Don't get me wrong, I'd be very happy if we get rid of the disorder label, not to mention societal stigmas surrounding mental illnesses and/or being neuro-atypical in general, but I don't see why we'd have to choose between (in this example) educational reform and psychiatric therapy when both seem valid options that complement each other.

EDIT: also, if you really want a good example of dystopian victim blaming in psychology, I'd suggest checking out "opppositional defiant disorder" and imagining how that label can be abused

I doubt Snowden was ignorant about what happened to those who "followed the rules". Their lives were ruined and nothing changed.

"None of the lawful whistleblowers who tried to expose the government’s warrantless surveillance – and Drake was far from the only one who tried – had any success,” Devine told me. “They came forward and made their charges, but the government just said, ‘They’re lying, they’re paranoid, we’re not doing those things.’ And the whistleblowers couldn’t prove their case because the government had classified all the evidence. Whereas Snowden took the evidence with him, so when the government issued its usual denials, he could produce document after document showing that they were lying. That is civil disobedience whistleblowing.”
But I'm choosing to discuss some of the social context to the technology and how it interacts with society and people. People's character and motives directly affect freedoms to use such technology, and therefore the relevance it has to people.
Clarification: He was in Russia when the US cancelled his passport stranding him there, his intended destination was Ecuador. I think stranding him in Russia was a deliberate choice to discredit Snowden and it seems to be working very well.

At least in Germany it seems that people routinely drive 100km/h on the same road as people doing 250, and they have fewer fatalities per passenger mile than we do in the US.

At first I viewed the depression I started fighting in my teens as a scourge, a defect, something broken to be fixed.

I have since come to see it as an important signal. When I am managing my life and mental states well, it often fades into the background. When it starts to flare up, like with some kind of physical pain, that's telling me I need to pay attention and change things up a bit.

Furthermore - and perhaps most importantly - it is a preferred failure mode to freaking out or engaging in suicidal ideation. When I'm overwhelmed by that gloom, I remind myself that I could have a stroke, aneurysm or heart attack at any moment, and I think about what the consequences would be if I did. As long as I'm in a safe situation, I can simply take my first opportunity to Just. Stop. Taking time to shut down, and to cease forcing yourself to engage with a world that would go on without you if you suddenly died, is a good idea now & then.

Yeah, at times I feel some twinges of guilt for doing this. It seems selfish on the surface. But when you compare it to the alternatives, well-- it's better than being dead, isn't it? I feel like my ability to manage my life (and depression) has improved considerably with this insight. If you need to stop, stop. Rest. Let whatever is pushing you to the brink simmer in a corner for a while, provided it is physically safe to do so. You will be better equipped to deal with it when you've had a chance to breathe, and to remind yourself that a temporary shutdown is indeed better than being dead.

I've never used a full blown whiz-bang solution for feature flags, but when I stared at the launch darkly API one day it seemed as if:

* feature flags were generalised as certain class of functions that made an on/off decision based on certain inputs, and the definition of these functions could be sent from the server to client services that had integrated the feature flag library. Functions could be refined at runtime etc -- generalised notion of toggling a toggle.

* there appeared to be capability for services to maintain local cache of the feature flag / expression rules so it didn't introduce a hard failure point on external service. Functions uses to make toggling decisions could be evaluated with inputs locally.

Take this with several grains of salt, never used it, I might be misremembering and it might not actually work this way

>I doubt he is happy with having to live in Russia - the main benefactor of his leaks. It's impossible to imagine that he is able to reconcile his hatred of US spying with the malicious actions of the government he now relies on for protection.

You don't go nearly far enough. Every conviction for rape in the US benefits Russia by making the US government look weak. We should stop persecuting people for rape or be Kremlin stooges. Same for hate crimes. Only in total obedience to the President can we finally win against the Great Enemy. /s in case anyone is stupid enough to need it.

I wonder if some sort of war crimes reporting funnel would be useful. Along the lines of Project Censored. Like a citizen's police blotter. Or citizen's oversight board.

It'd still take extraordinary effort to persuade (shame) prosecution to take action. But with some transparency, at least the torrent of evil stuff would be recorded by someone somewhere.
> ...and that's the ultimate crux of this whole thing. When you go up against the US government, you have to ask yourself - is there any major world power out there that's better?

Even if this ruling gets overturned it is irrefutable evidence that, after considering the issues, a person who understood the legal issues might conclude that the people behind the mass surveillance program were engaged in a literal criminal conspiracy.

Snowden wasn't going up against the US government, he was going up against a rogue branch of the military. I hope there is some consensus here that illegal programs aren't legitimate.
HFT is specifically a tool that benefits the haves (HFT) over the have nots.

> So no, it's definitely not the lack of immigrants, they are just wrong kind of immigrants, the too-lazy-to-work kind.

Refugees are by law not allowed to work until they have a semi-permanent residence permit of any kind ("Duldung" would be sufficient in some, but not all cases). So yeah, they're all lazy and at fault here.
