Gtalk, Hangouts, Messages, Allo, Duo.. I may be missing some.

Does Google actually have a long term plan for messaging this time? I tire of forced migrations when you could just iteratively update your messaging solution.

My only guess is that various teams are internally competing with no core customer focus. Is all of this because of the nebulous management structure at Google?
I don't think it's that common, and I don't think I've ever heard it before.

Exactly! I like being able to log in to any server and use vim/vi without any issues.

I've noticed similar pattern with other tools, e.g. git. I've seen coworkers add all kinds off aliases to simplify git commands, and I'm very much against it since I prefer portability.

>A federal judge for the Southern District of New York ruled on Oct. 3, 2020, that Fast Company senior news editor Marcus Baram must reveal his confidential source within two weeks.
What a ride. Also this is from 2019.

Basically in 2017 a confidential source CS told the editor for Fast Company FC that some random investor Shervin Pishevar VC was arrested by London police in May 2017 for suspicion of sexual assault. VC then confirmed the arrest to FC.

FC published an article on this in late 2017 using a police report provided by CS. However the report turned out to be fabricated, and I guess London police dragged their feet on authenticating it before the FC article was published.

VC in 2019 subpoenas FC for docs related and to try to get the name of CS. FC complies mostly but doesn't give up the name of CS on principle.

Basically, VC admitted to being arrested for something, but FC received a fabricated report from CS, not the real one? Wild.

It's hard to know who is really in the right. At first glance this is VC trying to suppress press freedom, but if the report was fabricated, maybe VC is morally unblameworthy in seeking the report via the threat of legal action. Perhaps it depends on the delta between what really happened/was published/the real police report and the fabricated report.

I'm surprised that journalists wouldn't go to more effort to erase data like that. If I had a source whose confidentiality I cared about I would erase records like that after every communication.
Sociopaths don't necessarily have malicious feelings toward others. The problem is that they have very little true feeling at all for others, which allows them to treat others as objects.

> When you say that flight risk isn't a real concern, something like 25% of people on bail fail to appear.

Well, it's certainly not a real concern that is addressed by cash bail; if someone is inclined to flee prosecution for a major crime, a cash bail will either (a) be unaffordable, and thus equivalent to no bail, or (b) affordable and an acceptable cost to sacrifice when fleeing.

If you think about what people are fleeing if they are fleeing bail, it makes sense. Bail is essentially taking money. If someone can post a million dollars bail, but thinks they can evade the Justice system by fleeing, a million dollars probably isn't going to be worth a sizable risk of being imprisoned for whatever the potential sentence is for their crime.

OTOH, non-cash-bail systems tend to put more focus on monitoring and related conditions which have a real and meaningful impact on flight.

Tough Love Astrology: Week of 19 October 2020
I've sworn off Debrox after damaging my ear recently. The instructions say to leave it in for "several minutes"; I waited ~10. My hearing was impacted for several days afterward. In the one ear I got high-pitched feedback when watching TV, it sounded like someone was running sound through a guitar distortion pedal. It went back to normal after ~5 days but I was very scared that it would be a permanent effect.
They aren’t switching though. They are given a choice between A&B then if they choose A they are given a choice between B&C. The choice between B&C should be 67/33 but instead it’s around 75/25 and the authors claim this is because in not choosing B the baby decided they liked B less. The evidence for this claim is that if an adult makes the first choice for the baby then the 2nd choice is 50/50.
I respect how strongly you feel about this. I don't think the situation is as you describe it though. Basically everyone with strong political convictions is furious at HN for being outrageously (as they feel) slanted toward the opposing side. But it simply is not so. I suppose this is a consequence of the "if you're not for us you're against us" mentality, which is the essential political stance, though growing in intensity lately.

The reason we do these sorts of edits is not driven by politics but by the attempt to optimize HN for curiosity (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...). The principles of how we do that have been worked out over the years, and they're not derived from political positions. Curiosity likes to cut across such boundaries—being limited by boundaries is not in its nature.

I get that above a certain threshold of political passion, the feeling becomes that the site ought not to be optimized for curiosity, but rather for political justice or some value like that. That's understandable—those are also good values. HN would just be a totally different kind of site if we did that. The question then is whether a site dedicated to curiosity has the right to exist on the web or not—including under current political conditions. I think it does. Why shouldn't it?
Pretty cool that the guy who wrote this has been doing SecOps in some form at google for over 15 years, and formed the google DDoS Security Team.
Looks like Peahivar admitted to at least the arrest. Unclear if the arrest was for something totally different than the fabricated report states, or something very similar. And who knows why the report was fabricated, though I don't think it's right to fabricate a report, perhaps there's a "more honest" explanation than someone making this all up wholesale (like fabricating some minor details to maintain anonymity type of reasoning, I don't know). The relevant quote:

Pishevar confirmed his arrest in a statement to Fast Company.

This is great! My son, who normally loses interest in long songs that are a bit harder than his level, got through The well tempered clavier (one of the sample songs).

The timing/spacing of the notes is a bit off though, I wish it scrolled according to beats instead of speeding up and down depending on what type of note was being played. I understand it has to stop and wait for the note to be played, but some of the whole notes threw me off.
The problem is that a lot of people will reach for Gitlab to replace Jira, or MediaWiki/Dokuwiki (or again, Gitlab) to replace Confluence. But for businesses that have adapted business processes to use them, Gitlab/MediaWiki/Dokuwiki simply don't cut the mustard. We have an extensively customized Jira installation that's used for tracking budget requests, cage access tickets, and system change requests--none of those fit into a "bug/task/defect" tracker like Redmine or Github Issues. And for anyone who's gotten a manager using Confluence's editor, moving to writing wiki source in Dokuwiki is a big step backwards.

The thing Atlassian had going for them is that we could get our non-technical people to use their stuff, understand it, and even customize it themselves to meet their needs. I'm not looking forward to trying to bend some other issue-tracking system to do it, so I'm guessing we'll pony up for the DC-class charges (for the few years they continue offering that option) and see if a competitor emerges.

Oh yeah fair enough, I'll edit. VC did admit to being arrested by London Police according to the account, but who knows why they were arrested.

How to start a blog that changes your life
For sure, that's a hazard of changing urls and titles. It's just that the cost of not doing it is greater overall than the cost of doing it. I hope it's at least clear that we do this all the time, on every topic under the sun, it's not specific to this topic or any political cause.

We usually post in the thread that we changed the URL and/or title and trust readers to be smart enough to figure it out. Some cases are worse than others, and in some of those I'll add replies to particular subthreads explaining that they were posted before the URL or title was changed.

“What's your favorite product?”
I always disliked wired tether and USB cellular modems because Linux thinks it knows about the link state and will close all your sockets if you briefly lost the carrier, whereas with WiFi tethering Linux is never aware of whether the phone has a carrier or not. The ergonomics are much nicer, imho.

I admit I never tried the wired mode on iOS. Maybe it doesn't propagate the link state?
Erasing physical records doesn't stop you from being deposed as to the identity of that person.

While perhaps you could say that you don't know their name, you would be pushing the limits of believability if you were to say you remembered no identifying details about the person - what communication method(s) you used, their appearance, their aliases, email addresses or domains, etc.
If you scroll down a magistrate ruled a couple weeks ago that the journalist must disclose their source.

Pishevar's conduct doesn't really have anything to do with the story. The issue is about the circumstances under which a journalist can be compelled to reveal their sources, and how that will effect the incentives for other sources on other issues to come forward with (actual) information that the public should know about.
That's technically true, but a large part of that is because similar, related species better suited to the environment did survive.
If the space is meant to represent the gap between the C and E, then you have this backwards: the European mark has one letter-width space between the C and E, and the forged mark from China has the C and E right next to each other.
Depending on what you have, you might look at Xwiki (xwiki.com) or Bookstack (www.bookstackapp.com). I find Xwiki's look-and-feel not as nice as Confluence's, but they have many of the same features and they have a migration guide for importing data from Confluence.

yes. Go to cell properties and you will find there is a "locked cell" property that is on by default.

When you Protect a spreadsheet, all Locked Cells become... locked.

So a typical use case is to only un-lock the cells you wish people to enter variables into, (color the cell to make it clear), and then protect the sheet so nothing else can be tampered with.

I was more asking about what Twitter's view is. If they consider copyright violation to be hacking, and they have a rule against hacking, do they ban all copyright violation with that rule.

Considering copyright violation to be hacking seems pretty out there to me, and I haven't seen clear evidence that Twitter actually holds that point of view.

Hmm I don't know, some protection exists per NY law according to the article. On one hand it doesn't sound like FC waited for the report to be authenticated, on the other hand who knows if London Police would ever do that, I don't know. I think it's fair to have the protection of this law or legal framework if a reporter has a reasonable belief that what they're reporting is accurate. But maybe it's a strict liability sort of deal, where it doesn't matter what the reporter believed but rather a factual question of whether the reporter published things that ended up being untrue, regardless of belief.

All the on-line advertisement industry has gone too far.

As an example, I found a site with a walkthrough of a game I was playing. The typical site that many kids and teenagers will use to get unstuck in a game. The pop-up listed over 1,500 companies that would get my data. And many of that companies seem aggregators that would share my data further. 1,500!

I have mixed feelings of the government accessing my data. There is a balance to be found between privacy and security.

But that 1,500 companies from around the world would start tracking me, or anyone that visit what seems an innocuous page, is gruesome.

Targeted advertisement is creepy as hell.

It is mind-disturbing to know that each step I do is tracked by thousands of companies, to know that tens or hundreds of thousands of employees have access to my data.

That each time I search for a video game, a place to go on vacations or a an answer to a job related question, I will be evaluated by algorithms that are creating a profile of me, as a human being, to predict what I want or need.

Advertisement has its value. But, that level of intrusion is humiliating and attempts against everybody dignity.

I hope that GDPR watchdogs get more founding and fines start punishing hard these criminal behavior.
Besides “less regulation” Delaware corps are easier to run because the state has great government services and courts for these things. Companies incorporate there because it’s a de facto standard. There are many qualified lawyers specializing in Delaware corporate law. The rules are predictable. The filings and the forms are well understood and administration tasks can be completed in a straightforward manner.
Journalists should not protect their sources if they lie or fabricate information. Otherwise, it seems like the perfect loophole for committing slander and libel. Don't directly publish the information yourself, but instead convince a journalist to be a confidential source.
There could potentially be an even less honest explanation. Perhaps the complaint was entirely vexatious, perhaps the person who laid it is the same person who fabricated the documents and sent them to FC.
Your deep criticism of technical interviews is welcome! But if you want to share it, you need to do that explicitly, so the rest of us can follow what it is. It's quite common that people post 1% of what is in their mind (often in a snarky way) and assume that they expressed all of it. Then when others respond badly to the snark or totally misinterpret what they meant, it seems weird (or they seem obtuse) because you felt you expressed yourself. Actually that feeling depends on your already knowing the content of your mind and your past experiences—which the rest of us don't. We need it to be laid out explicitly and step-by-step in order to get it and respond meaningfully. That would be interesting. When you do that, though, please do it without snark—we have that rule for a bunch of reasons.
Sociopathic people can be very functional. The label simply has to do with your internal feelings and responses. How you handle real life is up to you.

Most people that get these labels don't want go feel special. In fact, most are at their wits end and just want things to get better. It's usually the opposite of what you think - these people are often happy and surprised they are not alone.

The label helps avoid a lot of explanation when moving from provider to provider. Any provider worth their salt will see the person as a multi dimensional human.

It's very privileged of you go assume it has anything to do with vanity or a desire to be unique.

I remember from my childhood a lot of supermarkets had cheap stuff at the checkout for people waiting in line. Gossip mags, candy bars, gimmicky stuff.

There is double-dipping in the sense that you shouldn’t be subject to two states’ tax regimes at the same time. The amount collected doesn’t matter.

Well, that’s kind of my point, except I think a more reasonable direction would be for a state to only take income taxes from someone according to some estimate of how much the state’s actions are responsible for that income, and when the income is from out of state, that estimate should probably be close to zero.
Wow, this brings back memories. I hacked on this and other iPhone support on Linux back in the day, including on getting music sync support working, back when I myself used an iPhone.

At the time I wrote usbmuxd, which implements the sync (not tethering) part of the protocol. I can now say that I had a bit of behind the scenes help from an Apple engineer; his tips helped work out some corner cases that would've been quite hard to track down otherwise. This friend sadly passed away a few years ago.

Unfortunately, Apple has always been (publicly) hostile to third party support for their devices. For example, they insist on "signing" music databases with algorithms based on their FairPlay DRM implementation, to stop non-iTunes software from syncing music to them. I reverse engineered one variant of this (which was based on a white-box AES implementation and a lot of obfuscated junk) but they kept changing the algorithm. This went into libgpod and libimobiledevice.
But the question is how does it deliver video to the GPU.

The thing is, if you can make it run the top 10 websites (google, facebook, youtube et all) and convince the maintainers of those websites to always test on this thing before each release that would already bring a giant win for most users in the planet, and websites that have features outside the scope of this thing would fallback to standard rendering; in such world (and if it gains momentum) developers would slowly move to avoid features that this doesn't support in order to get the performance benefits it brings.
For those interested in a relatively modern take on this question that isn’t as accessible, I recommend “What is Philosophy?” by Deleuze and Guattari, authors of “Capitalisme et Schizophrenie” one of the most important works in continental philosophy in the 20th century.
This is a silly solution, but can you solve this by creating a bridge device and putting the cellular modem (and nothing else) on the bridge? Then the link state of the bridge should remain up.
Yeah that's right. I think we'd need more information to do anything more than speculate at this point. Going further, I feel like fabricating a police report to some degree comes with a presumption of moral blameworthiness. That is, all else being equal, I would tend to draw the inference that the fabricator is up to no good.
