This journalist has absolutely no idea what they are talking about. Executive Order 12333 grants authority to the FBI (among others, with few exceptions), specifically as it relates to foreign intelligence and counterintelligence (EO 12333 1.7(g)(1)).

I'm not even sure where they are getting the "unconsented physical searches" and "physical surveillance" line from. EO 12333 specifically states, "Elements of the
Intelligence Community are not authorized to use such techniques as electronic surveillance, unconsented physical
searches, mail surveillance, physical surveillance, or monitoring devices unless they are in accordance with
procedures established by the head of the Intelligence Community element concerned or the head of a department
containing such element and approved by the Attorney General, after consultation with the Director." It then goes on to infer the FBI is the only one who can conduct unconsented physical searches and physical surveillance on United States persons, except in specific circumstances.

In other words...EO 12333 specifically authorizes activities for the FBI as they relate to foreign intelligence and counterintelligence activities; the FBI may use unconsented physical searches and physical surveillance to support their investigations into the previously mentioned activities; and they are the only ones able to do so except in specific circumstances. Lastly, the protests in Portland would not be considered as part of literally any of the FBI's authorities in EO 12333, it would be from their authorities related to conduct of criminal investigations, which would require a warrant or consent to a search.

I'm not a fan of all this necessarily, but the fact checking in this article is mind-blowing.
Increasingly aggressive activism of this sort started ramping up at my employer a couple of years ago. Several outspoken activists started complaining and demanding all-company meetings, which were granted by HR and company leadership. In these mandatory meetings, which were attended by hundreds of employees, all sorts of contradictory accusations were lodged by the activists. For example, in the first meeting, one of activists complained about being (accidentally) mis-gendered by a new employee. In another meeting, a different activist complained about an employee apologizing for mis-gendering them. Apparently this made the activist feel awkward, so they'd have preferred no apology at all. It was at this point I realized there is no reasoning with activists such as these. Their demands weren't coherent. They were just a bunch of people complaining about hurt feelings. These meetings must have cost the company millions of dollars and huge amounts of lost development time. And they certainly didn't resolve anything.

I and a lot of my colleagues just want to do our work without being forced to participate in regular struggle sessions.
I've been saying for years that Oracle's objective here seems to be acquiring what is effectively patent protection with copyright duration.
Its being placed into class named java.lang.Math, though, is not. That is a product of the way it is arranged, which is a matter of design, not of necessity. It's hard to imagine any particular reason why a function would need to have "java" in its name in order correctly calculate the maximum of two numbers.

It's absolutely essential for interoperability to preserve package layout, class/method names, and argument order. For any Java code you want to run on your Apache Harmony based mobile OS, you have to have the Java package names.
> The intersectional view is that 'real racism' requires a power imbalance - which is actually a fair point. It would be unfair not to recognize that some groups have considerably more power than others.

I could get down with this if whites behaved as a class, working for their own mutual interests; however, such whites are few and far between and generally powerless.
Well, it's balanced -- I get all [ad]s on both sides...
Interestingly, I demoed and shipped a wayfinding solution for a mobile app earlier this year, where I just brute forced the shortest paths between all pairs ~200 "intersections" in the area of interest for this event, and just stored the answers in a KV store based on the intersections (then does some cheesy last 20m stuff to route you to and from the nearest intersections to your location and destination).

In a limited-enough space (like an event), this works out just fine. I'm glad I'm not the guy who needs to solve GoogleMap's routing problems though. I wonder if they have a huge BigTable store of every street intersection pair on the planet and a recalculated best route between them? I _hope_ they do something smarter than my "works in my constrained requirements space" brute-force hack...
There's plenty of evidence the virus itself structurally impacts the brain in terms of sensory perception. Jumping to the conclusion that it is merely PTSD seems unwarranted.

To be clear I am on the Google side of this argument

But certainly the API code contains naming, which is a creative aspect of API design, and in this case naming is used by developers to code against either Oracle's Java implementation, or Google's. In order to allow this Google had to copy the naming created by Oracle for their version of the API in order to attract the large pool of developers who liked and were familiar with that design.
You learn from experience. Trial and error, experiment, and mentoring. You study code that works and code that doesn’t.
North Korea does have a well-established cyberwarfare group, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazarus_Group. The WannaCry ransomware attack has been attributed to this group.
But if you want to run third party Java code you have to preserve package locations and method names to the letter.
He's actually quoted on page 8 of the paper, which is pretty funny.
This marks the first Rust release than can be directly installed with plain old rustup.sh on RISC-V Linux distributions (like Ubuntu, Fedora, and others). A very awesome milestone and my thanks to all who contributed.

All the core tools I tested works 100% and almost all the crates work. A few, like libc and Nix, still needs explicit riscv64 support.
> What concerns me is that science is ever changing

“Science” is just a set of methods for finding out about the world. Scientific findings are our best-guess beliefs about the world. Those beliefs change as new evidence is uncovered. What would you rather?

It sure seems like both sides politically really hate the FBI. I ask, when are they going to be evaluated? We should be rethinking the Intelligence Community in America, it has failed us. JFK knew this all too well.
Lol, be sure and try side, back, underside for the full experience.

This case is not unwinnable. And lawyers can specialise in specific areas. This lawyer seems unprepared at best, and simply not appropriate for this at worst.

>The title of this article should really read, "FBI Team Sent to 'Exploit' Criminal's Phones in Portland". The fact that the individual(s) also happened to be protestors, is really irrelevant and highly connotative.

irrelevant? does FBI usually send such a team to exploit "criminal's" (until proven guilty blah-blah-...) phones?

https://www.fbi.gov/image-repository/fbi-counterterrorism-fl...

"The team brings the FBI’s strategic and tactical counterterrorism capabilities to bear in partnership with other U.S. government agencies and foreign partner-nation entities in critical overseas locations to detect, penetrate, and disrupt terrorist networks."
Feed me, Seymour!

But seriously what a dark pattern and just like Little Shop of Horrors feeding the beast really doesn't benefit you. This is exactly why I never purchased an Oculus: because the price of entry for playing a VR game is too high.
> Because that type of person is well aware that an "exception to a rule" really just means the rule is formally worthless, since it provides no guarantee whatsoever.

If you think about it, rules themselves provide no guarantee whatsoever. They're only as strong as the institutions (aka. people) enforcing them. Some text in a book somewhere provides zero guarantee that some cop isn't going to assault you for talking back at him, or some general isn't going to turn the country into a dictatorship.
Send a letter to the CEO saying something like “FYI, you should really hang onto $PERSON. They help me with $THING. I’m telling all my friends about $COMPANY. I thought you should know, too.” For extra impact, write it by hand.
Yale may choose whatever admission criteria it wants except for a handful of prohibited criteria. Race is one of them, according to the DOJ.

Yale could presumably choose to admit only students scoring high but not too high if they wanted to. Or only take soccer players. Or only admit tuba players.

But they are being challenged for including race as one of those criteria.
I don't think I've ever heard of someone changing their mind 3 months down the line. Maybe it happens.

Revenue is backwards-looking, the expected value of future earnings is forwards-looking. Investors correctly expect a rough few years ahead. The worst is almost certainly yet to come, even if you're optimistic long-term.
Then, the question is whether these choices of where to put the parameter reflect any creativity.

Though the choices are creative, it's necessary to replicate them exactly to produce a functioning interface for existing Java code. It's like a design for an electrical connector; maybe patentable, but it's essential to the function so shouldn't be copyrightable.
Not an expert on OWL but I heard owl:sameAs is supposed to be a strong equivalence assertion (commutative) and perhaps not necessarily the tool you want to use for integration

To be able to say that two subgraphs describe the same thing, at some point, a mapping is needed between the different sub graphs (for users could be, say, a common schema:email statement). A good practice is to use some existing ontology when modeling (say, FOAF or schema.org), this can fix the problem of having to map fields since both sources would already be using the same conventions.

I think what's normally done is some sort of normalization pass or passes after ingesting the triples, so at the end of the process your app can always use your preferred property (say vcard:fn) or just ignore the subgraph in the worst case. There are a number of tools to perform this kind of normalization.. I know of SPARQL construct queries but I've seen others out there (rml.io).
Probably comes down to whether you believe they compete with eachother. If they do compete, net loss in competition may be bad. If they don't, then two smaller companies gained scale & integration opportunities.
Looking at other articles of the same website, they sound like they are the ones being investigated. It's just a beta behind a keyboard. Terrorists must not have rights.

> Placing somebody in the wrong category

It is not the wrong category though, because this is a well established definition within the law that everyone in that community understands.

Instead, the problem is that your intuition is different than the well established definition of these categories, as according to what the court system has established.

> to shoehorn them

It is not shoehorning though. It is an established and understood concept that courts understand. Instead, it is your personal intuition that is wrong regarding a law that is well understood by the court system.

It should be: all the way up to the 64 core threadripper scales pretty linearly for compiling. It probably won't be worth it over whatever the 3950X price drops to though, if per-core performance is really only 9% better in compiling workloads.
Nobody needs too "innovate" another stupid CRUD app though...

I kinda feel all the _actual_ innovation is doing things that align with Agile's underlying principals of valuing individuals/working-software/response-to-changes over processes/documentation/plans - while all th3e people who _talk_ about doing "Agile" rarely follow those principals, and mostly just mean "We have meetings we call 'standups', and negotiated deadlines that we call 'sprints'".
> A lot of what happened was/is domestic terrorism

Check your facts.

This is so wildly off base I'm surprised this comment is still here. This is the pumped up FOX/alt-right narrative. Domestic terrorism is the alt-right creating militias to abduct governors (yesterday) or kill state senators (see: Oregon last summer). Smashing a Starbucks window or starting a fire in a garbage can (or a half-assed molotove cocktail) is faaaaar from opening fire nightly on thousands of protestors, gassing them with banned CS gas, and trying to disappear them in unmarked cars, done by unmarked goons with no badges.
Really cute project, do you have any curated lists or do I have to build my own?
It does seem quite... incredible.. that such a person in such a circumstance would consent to a search. Can the government prove they had consent, or is this just their claim?
What would you think about a forum of scientists endorsed by years of published and peer reviewed research that is open to public scrutiny. I guess something like open source for scientists where thier track record and connections are transparent and not blocked by needless complecity and or paywalls. Scientists with skin in the game that have an incentive to stay faithful to honest investigation.

Im just thinking out loud. Overall i agree with you as things currently stand. I'm just trying to think through a set of possible solutions.
If you're going to attack the "spec" that is TDP, you may as well do it correctly. None of the scenarios you mentioned align with what TDP is supposed to "measure". Even if TDP weren't the flawed measure it is, you still wouldn't be critiquing it by noting the measures you have.

Here's the critique you should use! https://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/3525-amd-ryzen-tdp-explai...

Nevertheless, for a given manufacturer, TDP is useful as a coarse grouping of power consumption.

Not a single individual could shape policy without it being driven by what you listed not even if they explicitly wanted to.
The actual matter at hand is hidden in the second echelon who is responsible for (pre) selecting / making people decisionmakers. They don't go for the honest guy and neither the one who provides the best scientific proof for whatever needs to be decided. They rather go with the dirty rat who consistently shows to know how to book tangible results. It is this success that people desire to be associated with and it trumps everything else. ( And this statement is written by someone with 15+ years of experiences with proof based decission making on both a national and supranational level. )
At many companies, employees are encouraged to "bring their whole selves to work". This most definitely includes politics.

I encourage you to explore the early history of the pre-Roman Empire peoples. These were largely mythologies that the romans retroactively constructed for themselves (i.e. they had the opportunity to omit the raping and kidnapping in retellings, but chose not to).

It’s full of “and then tribe X invaded and the land of Y, took their women and enslaved their men”. Back and forth for centuries. This behavior was cyclical, inevitable, and universal, until violence was monopolized and institutionalized.

We’ve come a long way, I guess. Still have work to do.
Being the worst in class greatly harms your confidence though while being the best in class greatly boosts it. The effects of being the worst and seeing others like you also being the worst for 4 years throughout college will create a stigma lasting a lifetime. The current system ensures that most black college students will be among the worst in their class. If instead we did race blind admissions then black students would get into less prestigious universities but they would perform just as well as everyone else at those universities, which would let us start working away the stigma against black students.
If you have the source code for projects written in Java that collectively use every API endpoint in the standard library, you can reconstruct the API perfectly, thanks to static typing and the absence of type inference and default parameters. Would it be a copyright violation to distribute these projects along with a tool for reconstructing the API declarations from them?
I was just thinking on the TSP the other night, would a practical application of this problem(and solution) be to use it in processor circuit layout and trace routing? Then using the improved processor to solve the problem again?
The problem is almost never an issue of the ethical nature of the company's own product or service. The "politicization" problem is largely around social activism that is adjacent to the company's mission.

Which is why Coinbase is saying specifically there are politics which are central to their mission that they still must naturally engage with.

I think any engineer who has a moral quandary about the work the are doing should absolutely take it up with management, up to including whistle-blowing or resigning. Professional Engineers put their license on the line with this, mere computer engineers may not have so much at stake professionally but are equally ethically bound.
"An analogy: there are open source versions of Dropbox for users that don't trust Dropbox with their files (NextCloud, ownCloud, etc.), however this comes with the friction of having to host your own solution. We are more like Dropbox, where we want to create a solution that is incredibly easy to install, manage, and work with."

NextCloud: self-host OR pay for a managed option (this means someone runs it for you.)
ownCloud: self-host OR pay for a managed option (this means someone runs it for you.)

He compared it to Dropbox, Nextcloud, and ownCloud.
The FBI defines “domestic terrorism” as follows:

> Violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences, such as those of a political, religious, social, racial, or environmental nature.

Let’s compare that to your description of the suspect’s behavior here:

> ...an individual was arrested for Misdemeanor Assault on a federal officer, specifically due to shining laser pointers at their eyes. Upon physical search of the individual, it was found he was, "carrying a machete, a large mortar firework and a section of galvanized pipe with endcaps and fuze assembly”

So by the definition already established, either this person was just a criminal who was engaging in this premeditated, violent, criminal behavior for purely antisocial reasons, or he was a domestic terrorist.

Maybe you could argue that the definition of domestic terrorism is overly broad, but at that point you’re basically splitting hairs to pick and choose which forms of political violence are acceptable.

I work for a 501(c)(3). IIRC from the company meeting we had with an attorney who specializes in this subject, taking a political stance can fall under the category of indirect participation in a political campaign. If you're using company channels to make a statement, you're effectively campaigning under the official badge of that company, even if you're only talking to one other person who happens to work for that same company. You don't want to provide any ambiguity, however slight, to allow regulators to make a case for removal of the charity status. That can be the death of the company in many cases. What sounds reasonable to a layman and what sounds reasonable to a lawyer can be miles apart here.

Approach the employee and let them know you'd like to praise them to their management for reasons x, y, and z. Ask them if that would be okay, and if so, can they provide relevant contact info.

The reason for asking is that the praise that you want to offer may not be in line with their career goals (e.g. if you're praising their management style, decisions, etc but they want to move toward development or support or something). This also gives you an opportunity to communicate the praise directly to them.
