That the accusation is hacking is just the tip of it.

People arguing for this certainly aren't looking outside the box. Always check if they have a connection to the security industry and be prepared for a lot of bullshit reasoning.
It's difficult for me to read this objectively, because I "know in my heart" that the persecution of Assange is unjust. Nevertheless, it is important to put that aside and absorb the information without bias. Let the prosecution make its best case without attachment to outcome.

Still, there are some rather shocking revelations about the conduct of the government of my homeland. Torture, of course; but also murder of a detainee to terrify other detainees; "puerile attitude to killing, with juvenile nicknames given to assassination targets"; the attempted murder without trial of a US citizen, also a journalist; the attempts to block and cover these actions, which suggests that the perpetrators and enablers themselves knew they were crimes.
Did you even read the article? AMD is shipping everything unlocked, it's the OEMs that can choose to active this feature.

Certainly it's a debate whether such feature should exist in the first place, but presumably OEMs are the driving force behind this, so they see a need.

Do consumer laws apply to businesses in Australia? Because afaik, in the EU regretfully a lot of laws that protect consumers against abuse from vendors, do not apply to B2B/enterprise transactions.

On the other hand, there have been people who have warned about the dangers of CPU vendors putting Management Engines in their products, which are outside of the control of end users (by design). One of those concerns was the ability to rig sales or even kill off second hand markets markets all together. Apparently, this have already become a reality now.

I'm not surprised it's sold as security feature, just as terrorism and child pornography have been magic words in other fields. But at the end of the day, vendors stand to substantially increase their control on sales and with it their profits, with features that may only be significant in edge cases. That smells a lot like an antitrust issue to me. That all vendors are likely try to move in this same direction, as an opportunity to make more profit, doesn't make it any less devious. All the more reason for antitrust investigators to start looking into this.
I think adding a virtual file system to the local storage API's might be fine. One which cannot be mounted easily by non-technical users but has a viewer which allows dragging files into and out of it.
That's not being fair to Banksy, as his work, whatever you might think of it, is at least an improvement from the likes of Mark Rothko.
Do they prefer it, or does it simply work better because they can't check whether it's true? You could do sensationalist news locally as well, but everybody drives by the house you wrote "exploded" every day and they can see that it wasn't more than a burning trash can. That's different on the national level: almost all of the audience isn't where the story is, so they can't verify personally. That allows for much more sensationalism without being regarded fake. And more sensationalism = more viewers = more money, so there's an incentive to go there.
Epic alleges Apple has violated the Sherman Act. They have not proven this in a court of law, nor is it clear that they actually will succeed in doing so.
Some of the added things you mentioned plus the 3d aspect are vital to what minecraft is. The game starts in survival mode and slowly switches to building mode which is a very well executed and satisfying transition. The 3d aspect of it is important and so is the hunger. Hunger is the first bit of horizontal progression, then the rest comes from unlocking building resources and convenience. Vertical progression in comparison is quick and 99% of the mobs soon pose no challenge.
In fact they are probably later, but they are definitely "prehistoric" in the sense that for most (certainly here in Scotland) there are no records, written or oral, for most.
Do SSI (self sovereign identity) systems such as Sovrin solve this?
I really hope people don’t take from this that the U.K. legal system is being applied in a biased way. The laws themselves may be wrong — and that’s a matter for government. But these write-ups do tend do suggest that the laws are being misapplied through manipulating the process.

I’m not a lawyer, but I am in the UK and I do know people who are lawyers so I’ve talked about their court work with them. From what little I know, the processes (the backs and forth, the judgements, and arguments over procedure) are all typical.
But Apple’s costs are tiny compared to their margins, this isn’t logical as Apple can’t lose money on anything in the App Store, they didn’t invest in making the games did they? They are rent seeking to juice up their profits, it’s a great scam but I’d rather they concentrate on selling more hardware than ripping off developers.
More difficult than the baby boomer generation most certainly, but not impossible.

You could take the arbitrage further by increasing upfront and post move earnings and decreasing future expenses:
- Save up "no thanks" money at the high cost of living place. Not "f* y" money, but a significant sum.
- Ideally, find a remote job at the hight cost of living place.
- Relocate to a low cost of living place with decent socialised medicine. This can lower provisions for future expenses _a lot_.

At least in the EU, there are nice and safe places with very low real estate prices, quite decent socialised medicine, very low taxes and easy cheap transportation links around the continent.

That said, I know for fact that WP is not abandonware, so I'm not sure about the legality of this.
I guess I'm just not understanding what the point is, then? Obviously morality and legality are not the same thing; the law can be immoral, and the law can also allow people to do immoral things.

And I absolutely agree that we can say that some countries do things that are entirely consistent with their own laws, that we will nevertheless judge to be immoral. The US is sadly no stranger to this phenomenon.

But again... what's the point? My original comment was simply addressing the legality of the situation. The US has no legal requirement to cooperate with the ICC, and has enough clout on the international stage to maintain that position. When it comes to international relations, "law" isn't the same thing as what it is between a government and its citizens. International "law" can only be enforced either through the consent of those who are party to it, or through economic or military might.

Which paths are "sensitive" depends on which other programs the user has installed. Would Chrome recognize ~/.mozilla as a sensitive path? How about adding arbitrary content to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys?

While I don't think it ought to have been as long as it has been, it's worth noting that a) He has previously fled to take asylum in a foreign embassy to avoid arrest, so it's understandable why bail wouldn't be granted again and b) He actually requested this extradition hearing be delayed due to not having had enough time to prepare (which the judge denied).
But this can also mean that laws in the UK are typically applied in a biased way. The fact that it's typical (although I don't think it is) doesn't make it unbiased.

> It's not clear to me from this article which of the points of law above is being argued

You cannot evade injustice by referring to the law. This serves as an example that the law is broken because it allows for political prosecution.

Won't be the strategy of the defense of course and not of relevance in the hearings, they do the best they can in this situation.

I feel like a lot of indie games today build with a more dated or limited graphics style and they sell just fine (as others have mentioned, Factorio looks no better than a 90s PC game). Maybe the expectations for a Sid Meier title are too high and he's a victim of his own success in that respect, but I don't think it's true that just because modern machines can do so much that people expect all games to max out their potential.
>Software was much more thoroughly tested before being released to manufacturing (through the golden master process)

Well, with maybe the exception of Office 6.0 which I heard described as 'so full of bugs it practically walks itself'
It came on about 9 floppy disks. I had to install it in an office with about 15 standalone PCs and so had to do the disk 1, disk 2,.. shuffle for each PC.

Not everything was better back then.
That’s about the only way I see out of this, yeah. No fuses blown is obviously a specific state (works as expected everywhere). All-fuses blown needs to be a specific state too (say the trustroot is dead and it’s now “just a cpu”).

You couldn’t just fail to that state (it’d be inappropriate for its primary use-case), as long as there’s some way to get there.
Function over form any day. Unfortunately, we are where we are, we have the cycles to waste on useless eye candy with as a result that we are now cycles short in order to deliver a good user experience. Somewhere, somehow, user experience and design became conflated. The resulting mess is an incredible hodge-podge of technologies, protocols and hardware all trying to pretend it is something that it is not: software running on your local machine.

Running older software on modern hardware is a great way of seeing what we've lost along the way.

As a parent, I fear that even in the best of times, parenthood is simply incompatible with the level of time and effort that working in tech demands.

I really wish I knew how to resolve this problem, but it feels more like a physical problem, to do with the limits of human attention and learning, than a social one. I suspect there is no easy fix.
Very good points. Made me rethink about the whole GPL licensing model.
It may be worth considering the WTFPL license and or the JSON license in the near future.
Well. It’s a very Roddenberry view to not have borders, currency, poverty.

Might be better than what we have but it won’t fix any inherent problems in society (or to put it differently. The inherent society problems must be solved before such an utopia can be created imho.)
Dosbox can be run together with Freedos in a command line mode. Wine also can (on 32 bit machines) run many DOS programs.

If you are content to run a full emulator, DOSBox + FreeDOS is already a practically perfect emulation.
There’s a disconnect between the author and the comments section here.

The author claims that yes, websites are getting heavier but improvements in bandwidth, CPUs, protocols (like http2) and browsers offsets this to make the web as fast or faster for the median web user.

Comments here express frustration with those increased bundle sizes, especially in cases where we aren’t getting any features in return.

Both sets of folks are talking past each other because there is disagreement over the metric. The author wants to use load times as seen by users in wealthy countries. The comments folks want to use KB or features per KB (subjective).

There’s no right or wrong here, just different metrics.

> ...he would never have believed the US Government could have done such things.

That's US' image worldwide too, or was. Except in the Muslim world where their atrocities were observed and reported firsthand. Wikileaks blew open that made-up image in a big way. Reminds me of:

> UK has no reason to not extradite him and something to gain from doing so.

No reason apart from the popular opinion of them that will decline if they extradite a journalist to a country that has routinely committed war crimes, torture, murder and other atrocities.

I can't help but think that everyone would react much worse if he were being extradited to China, yet what's the difference?

One interesting snippet, which gets to the one of the key areas around this case for me (I know there are more issues here than just this one):

> Mark Summers then re-examined Professor Feldstein. He said that Lewis had suggested that Assange was complicit in Manning obtaining classified information but the New York Times was not. Is it your understanding that to seek to help an official leaker is a crime

> Professor Feldstein replied “No, absolutely not”.

> “Do journalists ask for classified information?”

> “Yes.”

> “Do journalists solicit such information?”

> “Yes.”

> “Are you aware of any kind of previous prosecution for this kind of activity.”

> “No. Absolutely not.”

> “Could you predict it would be criminalised?”

> “No, and it is very dangerous.”

There are clearly two sides to this argument, but the chilling effect around the prosecution of journalists gaining access to classified information is a worry for me.

I realise that the US Government might claim that Assange isn't a journalist. They're certainly claiming that he crossed the line from journalism into hacking, but that line seems to be blurrier and more arbitrary than it used to be (at least from where I sit in the cheap seats).

I think that's a trend that's reversed. From what I've seen of it so far, Crusader Kings 3 has the same depth and complexity as its predecessor.
Source here is Craig Murray who is possibly the most extreme-biased source one could imagine. Nevertheless it's good to get primary source information from the hearing.
I'm a developer and I'd agree that debating becomes harder. Even worse, what's missing is the cross pollination of ideas that happens naturally in an office when people overhear conversations.

You don't just overhear a conversation on Skype and chime in. A lot of bad ideas are stopped in their tracks this way, and a lot of debates can gain valuable perspective this way.

However saying there's no positive effect is stupid as well. I tend to be able to work more hours since it's easier to go running in my lunch time, I save the commute time so I'm less stressed arriving at work, I can concentrate on my work better since there's less office chatter (the opposite side of the benefit above).

So like everything it has positive and negative effects.

But yes, maybe there are too many middle managers that are twiddling their thumbs now. They probably didn't do much before either, but they felt like they were contributing, and this feeling has gone away.

Hi y'all. Some of the comments here are mentioning some of the technical issues that this system has.

In addition, the license that it uses has restrictions and is not OSI approved, so some people wouldn't call it Open Source.

Is there demand for an Open Source Applicant Tracking System to be created?

I'm gonna throw an unpopular opinion out there: The real issue is not that phones or browsers have too much capabilities but rather that people fundamentally don't understand how to use computers. Locking things down and removing features doesn't really solve the problem just like wrapping your child in bubble wrap before crossing the street instead of teaching it to look both ways for cars doesn't solve the problem. Digitalization is being sold as a land of opportunities but no one ever tells people what the software they're using is actually capable of and how to control it. And that's why people vote for digital elections and accept all permissions and cookies and shrug mass surveillance off with "they know everything about me anyways".
If a restaurant can't be bothered to clean their menus between guests can they be bothered to clean the dishes, glassware and prepare food without issue? It seems like a small thing but I'd expect that to happen anyway.

On the plus side, they chose the environmentally friendly option, the alternative would have been disposable paper menus.

It's clear to everyone in Karachi that it has been neglected by the provincial government lead by the People's Party of Pakistan (PPP). PPP is the most corrupt entity in the country. At least other governments do 'some' development while filling their coffers. PPP undoes even the development of previous governments to fill their coffers. Karachi's institutions have been filled with political appointees with little or no merit. Everyone appointed to run the country is only interested in filling up their pockets. Even slight rains that would be unnoticeable in any other part of the country fills up sewerage lines leaking them out. This is not new. What's new is that this years rains have been unprecedentent and even upscale areas such as DHA are affected, which is why all the commotion in the media.
> Sure, if that is what they correctly predicted.

I mean, I personally predicted in mid-2016 that if Trump were elected, he would push isolationist policies. That was pretty obvious to me and pretty much everyone I'd talked to at the time, and if I could see that, I'm sure the Chinese and Russian governments could have predicted that.

And no, it probably hasn't turned out exactly as either of them potentially could have wanted, but it's not bad. The US has drifted from Europe, and has reduced its presence in military engagements where Russia has gained influence. China has possibly been hurt by the trade war, but it's hurt the US as well, likely just as much. I think Trump really wants to hurt China (which, in our hypothetical scenario, would have been a miscalculation on China's part), but I don't think he's competent enough to do so without inflicting harm on the US as well.
I think most of my peers think like you. This article smacks of rage bait.

The law must serve justice, not the other way around. If the law allows for political prosecution, it needs to be reformed. Many laws are completely inadequate for digital "crimes". Although these "crimes" did put focus on an illegal war of aggression instigated by neocons and parts of the press. There is just so much the law can serve.

Microsoft is not exactly the kind of company that I would use if I were to show what quality release management meant back in the floppy days. But lots of other companies got it right. That said, Office was super complex and an extremely large and rushed package (the competition was gaining ground).

Spying is, of course, illegal in every country that is spied upon. Assange has been in Ecuador and the United Kingdom. Neither country may permit the interception of confidential conversations between a client and their legal counsel.

>I started looking for benchmarks (because it sounds like the kind of thing JAX would do well)

Currently Jax has an in-progress stiff ODE solver that's about 200x slower than SciPy

and SciPy (with JIT) is about 50x-100x slower than the pure Julia methods

https://benchmarks.sciml.ai/html/MultiLanguage/wrapper_packa...

so Jax has more than a little bit of a way to go.
