Due to the extent of mil intelligence docs stolen, and since the domestic programs deployed were lawful at the time, whistleblower is a disingenuious title for Mr. Snowden.

Putting aside domestic disclosures, it's difficult to see how the scope of stolen materials merits praise or euphemistic titles. Snowden is a fugitive. As it pertains to the majority of what was stolen, he is not a whistleblower, but a thief.

Had Snowden simply revealed unconstitutional domestic mass surveillance programs, perhaps he could be pigeonholed as a whistleblower.

The GMC Sierra is half of the GM truck twins, and when combined with the Chevrolet Silverado are some of the absolute highest selling vehicles in the United States, more then the single model Ford F150.

To put it another way, the production of the Sierra is a horrible place to start assumptions for how many units of a novelty/niche six-figure electric SUV will be produced.

It's a bit like saying "there are a lot of Corollas, I bet they'll sell a few million Lexus LFAs!"

Perhaps you weren't alive or old enough to pay attention back when Russia ballet dancers/athletes/et. al. would come to the U. S. for the Russian Nutcracker Ballet tour, then ask for asylum. Or maybe your country-that-is-not-the-US didn't make a big deal of it, but it would be all over the news about how some ballet performer seeks asylum from The Evil Empire(tm). Of course the person would seek asylum in the U. S., The World's Choice for Freedom(R).

And now Russia has a chance to turn those tables on the U. S.? I'm kind of disappointed that it took them this long to execute the obvious play.
How about a middle ground then?

Let's make a few 3-series batteries and charge them. When done charging we stack four of them together to get a single 12-series to power an e-bike. Would that allow for much faster charging?

Manning was in the military, there is no comparison to Manning and Snowden in that regard.
Snowden was never found guilty of anything, so the President can't pardon him.

And Presidential authority doesn't extend to say "Whatever he did, this country forgives him" in the absence of a guilty verdict. It's commonly thought to, but the actual result is unknown; a subsequent President's authority to arrest him on his "pardoned" actions and try him for commission of crime under the theory that one cannot be pardoned for crimes not tried has never been tested in the US legal system.

Trump is enough of an outlier that someone might actually be willing to test the hypothesis on any pardons he fires off.

No, it is not even technically true.

EDIT: However, as pointed out, the following statement, in my original response, was incorrect: Nor do pardons even have to be “accepted” to have effect, it's a unilateral executive power.

EDIT[2]: additional response on another point previously overlooked:

> however, is there any case where the admission of guilt has been used to coerce testimony from a pardon recipient?

Any imputation of guilt is a side issue on coercing testimony; a pardon (if accepted, and this is the main practical reason why it might not be accepted) makes the recipient immune to prosecution for the offenses it covers, and thus makes the Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination irrelevant to the extent related to offenses within the scope of the pardon. The government has plenty of power to compel testimony wherever the Fifth Amendment does not apply already, an admission of guilt is not necessary once that shield is moved out of the way.

Modern Web Standards Are Leaving Niche Web Browsers Behind
This is gonna sound dumb (because it is :) ) but it took me a while to realize that on Windows there's no daemon process so you gotta keep the emacs window open.

I kept closing emacs and expecting the next startup to be super quick and it wasn't. It was clearly starting up from scratch again.

I think the server stuff on Linux / MacOS does start a daemon, but I spent a bunch of time trying to get it to work (quick startup with no visible instances) before I happened to read that one needs to keep the first instance open on Windows.

Separately but related, sometimes emacs doesn't remove the text file that it uses to figure out if there's already a server running or not when it exits. Any further instances assume that another instance is the server and they don't take over as the server themselves. Thus, the zombie text file ensures that the server functionality stops working until you delete the file yourself, manually.
I was half thinking about writing an emacs function to check if the pid identified in that text file is legit (i.e., is there a running process with that pid?) and if not then delete the marker file. Somewhere around there is when I decided I didn't want to fiddle _that_ much with my editor :)

> After President Gerald Ford left the White House in 1977, intimates said that the President privately justified his pardon of Richard Nixon by carrying in his wallet a portion of the text of the Burdick decision that suggested that a pardon carries an imputation of guilt and that acceptance carries a confession of guilt. Legal scholars have questioned whether that portion of Burdick is meaningful or merely dicta.
> The problem is (to steal a phrase from the Complaint) “monopoly rents from advertisers”. Search advertising is a context where you know exactly what the user is looking for, and it’s amazingly effective, and Google enjoys a monopoly, which means they can charge what the market will bear, and they do.

Seems that way. I pay around $0.30/click on keywords with no competitive bids. When I switched to paying per conversion value, I might get days with good value followed by days with terrible value, so that monthly it balances out to maximize my cost/conversion.
Even though cells may exist with the same specs, it's hjighly recommended to create a battery pack from a single supplier and standardize on that. For example when I used to do professional laptop repair, I discovered the '18650' is only a size rather than a catch-all for all 12V cells, and isn't recommended to daisy-chain the various good ones together if they only share the same voltage. There's over a dozen different colors that indicate these batteries were built by various suppliers with use cases such as fast discharge rate, higher peak voltage, greater capacity, or a cost-effective battery that survives fewer discharge cycles. Creating a pack with mismatched batteries could cause the load balancer or device to operate outside of spec- don't cheap out on your power source!

FreeRTOS is a unikernel by that definition (by every definition I've seen, though they still use the term "Library OS" which seems essentially synonymous). It's quite common in embedded devices.
The comment you're replying to is talking about public institutions not companies, you fucking idiot.
Can you trust them to not put in unconstitutional bullshit requirements? Forget demanding 24-7 access to them they would probably have fundies putting in filters on "immoral" content knowing it would get struck down by the "godless courts".

I don't want tech regulation because I don't want to be ruled over by complete fucking idiots on subjects they don't understand.
> I remember that OAuth forced the user to include client secret in app's binary. When extracted, everyone could impersonate the app. If you don't understand the problem then don't downvote

This isn't correct. Native apps aren't capable of holding a secret. There are two patterns here. Some providers omit the secret for native apps. Other providers define the concept of a "public secret," a value that is "not a secret," but is put in the client_secret field - rotating this value disables old clients. Either model is fine and secure.

The problems you refer to were mostly just developer error. Developers registered their native apps as having confidential secrets, even though this was not the case, and then shipped those secrets in the app source code.
Browsing the spec sheet, IF it floats your boat, this feels a useful option:

"Halide’s Depth mode lets you capture Portrait mode shots of pets and people — even if Apple’s Camera app can’t. "

That feels it makes it more similar to my Samsung where I can choose what to "Live focus" on and create fake depth (although I feel Apple's people-only system allows them to recognize and transition borders better)
A lot of OSes have an Android runtime. The good thing about Android is that it's Free Software which is easily extensible, relatively easy to get good at since it's Linux based, and that risk is minimal.
This is not necessarily what you're looking for but the latest watchOS bedtime alarm on the Apple Watches has been game changing for me. I have the alarm set on weekdays and the watch gently vibrates to wake you up without any sound. Because it's very subtle and not a sudden alarm I wake up feeling much better. If you have a partner, it also means you won't wake them up with sound.
Nobody's ever challenged Ford's pardon of Nixon.

It's actually real unclear what the legality of it would be if a subsequent President had tried to arrest him.
Has Ford even announced the electric F150 officially what is pricing like on it?

Maybe the eF150 will be the stuff. Just haven't seen anything on it.
Ah, didn't realize it was meant as a joke.
> Talk to a psychologist

I actually happened to do exactly that in late Feburary, and he pointed out that about 1% of the population die every year naturally, and WWII killed double-digits in many countries, so COVID-19 killing ~3% was certainly something civilization could survive (remember that the early fatality rate estimates were much higher than they are now, and the vast differences in fatality rate by age weren't yet known).

Dunno what he might have said to if I had been a patient. But certainly part of that job is to put things in perspective!
That article waves away the manual focus, but for me it’s been very useful to manually focus when shooting through some near obstruction (ex: a fence, or low hanging leaves). There are also still situations where HDR falls a bit short and manual exposure results in a better picture (I have an Xs, so it might be better now).
Scaling Cash Flow Machines with Summit Co-Founder Ryan Begelman
No, the revenue seems like it will last. But revenue is not profit, and I have a family to take care of and I'm the breadwinner. Plus, my regular job is good.

> since the domestic programs deployed were lawful at the time

Assuming for the moment that this is true...

Even something that is secretly lawful can be entirely immoral and only doable if kept hidden from the public who would otherwise object. The whistleblower's responsibility is to the public, not just their organizational superiors.

It's unhealthy to believe that the law dictates ethics.

The Data of Long-Lived Institutions
I'm not convinced Russia has any allegiance to "the truth" outside of when it intersects what they happen to want to say at the moment.

I would consider Russia far more Orwellian than most nations. Comparisons like yours seem to ignore that fact.
They can't because it's not true. The only way to find a third-party source to back that up is either use the one Swedish(?) study, which has been refuted by its original authors or some really ancient source with old data.

Depending on the way a country produces most of its electricity, EVs will outperform ICEs in emissions in just a few years. And that's mostly ignoring the emissions from drilling oil, refining it to petrol and moving said petrol to stations.
I don't have an AMD GPU to test with, any cheap recommendations? Especially if they are slightly older and maybe have only 1-2 GB of RAM, since it seems larger/newer cards won't be able to work with the Pi's PCIe bus.
It was a consulate, you genius, and he spent several days there. He must be a moron if he expected that would stay secret.

You do realize especially with his situation, he had to cover all legal aspects. Anyone would visit the consulate before traveling to Russia, and he would, too, even if he didn't plan to leave the international zone.

Staying Russia wasn't his plan, but it was definitely an option as he must've known that he might get trapped in any country he crossed.
Still time to delete that erroneous comment should you so choose. Be advised, now that there are replies, that it will show as "[deleted]".
A lie detector does (claim to) not detect facts. It (claims to) detect psychological states via its physiological measurements, which is obviously what the law is talking about.

No one would claim that fact-checking statements is a "lie detector" under this law.
Does it really matter that Snowden received assistance from Russia considering the data he leaked was proven legitimate and even US courts found the program he leaked from as being illegal?

You're trying to build a backstory for something using bits and pieces of disparate information when the most plausible explanation is that Snowden was probably well aware that his freedom and likely his life were in danger and sought assistance from wherever he could get it. Building a conspiracy theory on this scaffold is a cop-out. Anyone with enough power to keep Snowden safe is probably an enemy of the US.

As for Wikileaks being a Russian tool, would you have the same discrediting opinion about the outlets publishing info that Russia or China would rather keep secret? Or if the person who leaked some data about the Chinese ethnic cleansing program received assistance from the US?
You're right, I was simplifying too much. I'm quite aware of the political system in Switzerland, since I grew up there, but I should have been more precise in my comment.

If you think the ACLU has steered clear of controversy historically, you are not very familiar with their history.

How so? It is about someone's right to exist as themselves without discrimination and be treated equally to others. The ACLU has been involved in LGBT rights since at least the 70s.
> Nickel is turing complete. See, the fib example.

I should have been more clear, I was listing potential reasons why you might not use a standard programming language. "Not wanting turing completeness" is a reason to use a non-turing-complete DSL. I wasn't suggesting that Nickel was appropriate for this particular use case, but many of the other languages in this category are (e.g., Starlark, Dhall).

> Nickel doesn't force reproducibility

Scanning the docs, I don't see anything about Nickel allowing I/O, so I believe you're mistaken.
If that was his intent:

Why not selectively publish only the parts about surveillance of US citizens?

Why publish details of how the US was dealing with adversaries like China?

From the looks of it, Snowden cared about getting famous more than any specific goal.
That's real easy to say when the gun isn't up against your head. Call us when your principles in this matter have been tested in practice.
I know almost no one on HN wants to hear anything bad about Snowden, but Greenwald has stated that Snowden has leaked some information out of self preservation. We can't rule out the fact that Snowden has given information to the Russian government.

If it was neutral or positive to your health you would choose to wear it by choice. Did you wear masks last year for fun and pleasure? Do you think re-breathing your exhaled is a good idea? From my personal experience, I can only report minor negative effects. I certainly don't think anyone operating machinery (eg drivers) should be wearing one.

Surgeons wearing masks for a period of time during an operation is not the same thing. But I would expect that those surgeons that wear masks the most would suffer with dental issues, sores, and breathing issues. Are you able to prove that there are no deleterious effects?

Its not proven that masks prevents particulate transmission. Can you provide reliable evidence for your claim?

And to governments now, can you provide that evidence before you start enforcing mandates please? And, why the evidence is so patchy - no distancing or masks in Sweden. Sometimes masks are mandatory and advised, then sometimes not. Its mixed messaging because there is no evidence.
> have you tried using WhatsApp without the Contacts permission?

Yes. It works. Reaching out to new people is a PITA, as you have to append their phone number to a an api.whatsapp.com/send?phone= URL and open that on your phone, but it works.
I have either very volatile MDD or bipolar type 2 (I don't think it matters which one specifically).

My thoughts fundamentally change depending on if I'm up, down, or center. It'd be incredible to be able to give a "kick" to the negative thoughts a bit when I'm down.

I imagine it could be similar to klonipin for panic attacks - it doesn't fix anything, but it temporarily allows my mind to function (instead of spiraling), and allows me to work on treating the cause of anxiety.

Ask HN: Building Salesforce Managed Packages for a B2B SaaS Product
I recently had to build a simple Salesforce managed package for my startup. It enabled a two way sync between a custom object in salesforce and the data in our system. At the end of the day, it was basically a simple CRUD app.

However, this process was way more painful than expected. I had to learn Apex, Visualforce, and all the nuances of the salesforce developer platform. Salesforce documentation is really focused on building apps inside salesforce, so I ended up relying on blog posts to fill in the gaps. All in all, a project that should have taken a few days or a week ended up taking two months!

How are folks, especially in the early stages, building their Salesforce integrations? Is there a tool? Paying a consultant? Sucking it up and just doing it?
