That seems reasonable enough. Look at your logs, find an IP that did the unauthorized thing, do a WHOIS, then call the ISP and ask who had that IP at the time.

Is it possible to fabricate all of this evidence? Sure, but finding the lady's IP in order to have it confirmed by Comcast seems pretty sophisticated without a pretty advanced conspiracy. One would assume a lot of that would come out at trial, if the defense could convince a jury of those doubts.

But this is a search warrant, that's all some pretty convoluted fraud of the justice system to smear this woman. Criminals are pretty stupid usually, intimidation would take a lazier form. Keeping with the "criminals are stupid" line, a person with an axe to grind posting on a work network after being fired from their home? That seems about right.

Lots of downvotes are going on around here that make it evident that people only really care about their political alignment and their ideas of justice depend on whether or not a person is on their side. I thought people were generally above that here.

I would also recommend checking out Testcafe or maybe some other alternatives (I read recently about a project called Playwright which at least “on paper” looks promising). I’ve used Testcafe on couple commercial projects (including one for a large and well known company) and it was a positive experience without any reservations I could remember.

There are much simpler programming models to deal with long-running actions, like processes and threads. The essential point of async is to be thread-like, but with lower overhead; or in environments where you cannot use processes and threads - but there's no very convincing reason for testing to be it. And choosing to prioritize dealing with runtime overhead over dealing with coding complexity isn't an obvious win. Note that promises make sense for processes and threads too; the key question is whether you really block, or virtually block.

Nothing wrong with async code; but it's often sold as the "obvious" solution to, well, several things happening and some of them taking long - and it's just not that great a solution.

The simple answer is you need at least three to identify and recover from a single failure, five for two simultaneous failures, and so on (generally assuming failures can be recovered from automatically by rebooting the failed controller). Depending on the planned exposure, you can estimate the probability of upset events and thus the likelihood of multiple failures within the failure->reboot time interval and pick the number of computers accordingly. Radiation exposure depends on altitude - low-earth orbits outside of the Van Allen belts are fairly low due to protection from the Earth's magnetic field, while trips to other planets must be more hardened (either via shielding, significantly greater redundancy, or rad-hard circuit design).

The most difficult part, historically, is ensuring no single point of failure in a redundant system. Put three computers on a single bus, and it's likely each of the three bus transceivers could cause a complete system failure (so you've tripled the failure rate). In some systems like aircraft FBW, each of the controllers has its own connection to the actuators and its own actuator. The computers are connected to each other to detect if each other have failed, but as a fallback the control surface and actuators are designed so that two good actuators can physically overpower a bad actuator, and this ensures that the mechanical coupling doesn't become the failure point.

> absolve FB of wrongdoing

much as it is trendy, you really have to think past the binary $company good/evil argument.

My argument is as follows:

1) there is no logout button for your oculus account. Its not a flow that already exists. You need to factory-reset your device to log out.

2) the team that was put in charge of linking FB accounts to oculus are not the same team that owns the home screen gui.

3) working between teams is a hard problem

4) adding a logout flow is a boat load of work, because the rift os was never designed to do logging out, because why would you need to log out of an oculus device, barring cockups?

Personally I think its a mistake to force linking accounts. I can see why they want it, it makes future multiplayer and AR integrations better.

> This does not include other software download sites as well as Linux distributions that provide download from their own repositories.

Isn't that a pretty significant difficulty for the interpretation of this number, though? Couldn't there be some package that is installed by default in, say, Ubuntu (and that Ubuntu can't boot without), so therefore millions of users are using it -- but perhaps the "downloads" seen by GitHub or SourceForge are mostly by OS packagers or by developers contributing to that package. Whereas if there is something where, for some reason, end-users customarily or commonly get it from GitHub or Sourceforge, it might look more widely used even though it is actually less used overall, potentially even by orders of magnitude.

(Like GNU coreutils, at an extreme, is probably not that popular at all for end users to download from a source control system, yet it might be running in tens or hundreds of millions of devices, which could not even boot without it.)

It's nice that they're automating this even though the results seem currently a bit random. Fedora has a concept of Critical Path packages (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Critical_path_package).

But as far as I know packages are picked manually and therefore we probably miss packages or over/underestimate criticality.

I don't believe that is accurate. When we recruit obviously we don't take race or gender into account, but 90% of applicants are white males.

Of course, the easiest way to get to that ratio is to not care and just scoop up permanently wet sand from where waves crash into the beach and use that. Eventually it will drain/evaporate until it reaches that perfect ratio. And then it will go past that ratio but you probably won't be there anymore. :P
They can put it behind a clear warning, do stuff like AWS does for bucket deletion (the bucket has to be empty, you have to check a box and manually type the full name of the bucket).

This place has never, not once, been "above that". What you are astonished at is that the discourse is anti-right wing. Other times when it is pro-right-wing/an-cap/libertarian/anti-POC you don't notice it because that's the baseline for normalcy for the userbase.
Why not? One horsepower is about 746 watts. That's a useful way to compare things sometimes. (Though with the caveat that gas engines generally have horsepower ratings that reflect maximum power, often in an RPM range that you don't normally use in everyday use. Thus an 200 horsepower electric motor might often out-perform a 300 horsepower gas engine, because the former generally has maximum torque from zero RPM whereas the latter has to be in an optimal RPM band. Also the gas engine at the same time produces about 2x or 3x its mechanical power in heat.)

With electric motors it seems to be at least fairly common to refer to an electric motor's mechanical power output in kilowatts rather than horsepower. In a lot of ways that makes sense, but horsepower is a unit that more people are familiar with.

Sure, it's possible, but in order for that to make sense they would also have to compromise a computer in that house in order to post from so a search warrant could find that.

That's a pretty heavy duty conspiracy, and it would involve some pretty solid red-team skills. I really think it's beyond a dumb-ass politician to orchestrate such a fraud as a hit against a really low key political adversary. How hard do you think it would be to find a hacker capable and willing to do such a thing, and money to fund that?

On one hand you have this pretty advanced conspiracy which would require high level coordination with very skilled people in order to frame someone who barely matters.

On the other you have a woman who was recently arrested and charged with stalking after enduring a year long restraining order... and the question is if there is enough evidence that she logged on to work computers to write inflammatory things to old colleagues.

What's out there is surely enough for a search warrant. You have to believe a lot of advanced conspiracy theories to say this search warrant isn't valid. Even then the justification is... well it stretches the imagination. State-level framing for an inconsequential thorn in a republican governor's side.

It is possible, but it isn't reasonable.

The worst was finding that a package I absolutely rely on (I can't remember which one, unfortunately) had been reported as broken something like two weeks earlier, and hadn't yet been fixed.

However, it's much more comfortable to use the bottom part of the screen. That's why I love every app which considers this "single-hand" scenario and places inputs to the bottom.

Also, what do you like the most? Like small features, well-thought decisions, etc.

I also had complex partial seizures - borderline, I think, because I retained consciousness, but lost the ability to speak and understand language. I remember going skydiving many years ago, and filling out a form where they asked whether I had disabilities, including epilepsy. I marked that I had epilepsy, and then but the paper at the bottom of the pile. Not sure what they made of it when reading the papers after the fact.

I also did a shift in whether I considered it a disability or not. In the beginning, it felt like just a tiny part of who I was. But as time went on, the seizures increasing in frequency, and the anxiety related to the seizures going up as well, it started to make a larger and larger impact on my life and, maybe more importantly, my self-image.

I think it is interesting how the same thing can seem so different at different points in time.

> We didn't get into the current situation because Google deliberately chose to make their algorithm friendly to marketers.

This isn't quite true. Google has changed its search results in recent years to cut out content from more than a decade or so ago. You can no longer find the content even if you search for the exact strings in the website. If you have your own old site, it is easy to see from the logs that the Google Bot is still crawling the old pages, it just doesn't index them any more.

There are many instances where the most relevant content to return for a search would be from a website from the early millennium, but Google refuses to show that, while Google will show a big commercial website from more recent times even if the result is less relevant to the query.
Your correct, but she became a useful tool for MSNBC and the Democratic party in the effort to turn any GOP governor who wanted to open their states up into evil, callous villains. As a result, any attempt to inject the reality of her being completely wrong and rightfully fired immediately solicits downvotes from the resident partisan hacks on HN. They don't get the fact that she made false claims in May about a conspiracy to hide deaths, and has a history of being sensationalist and dishonest.

Rebekah Jones reminds me of Alex Jones:

Loyal following, every bad thing that happens to her further bolsters her conspiratorial claims, and she grossly exaggerates her own credentials.

You're not saying she deserved the police raid and neither am I. We are just trying to point out the reality that she isn't some whistleblower hero but that doesn't fit the political narrative that the partisan hacks on here have accepted so we will be downvoted into oblivion.

The partisan hacks will continue to call her a data scientist when she never even called herself that and is not remotely trained for that because it makes their narrative more powerful. That's what politicization does:
any statement of fact that counters the narrative will be ignored or rejected or reacted to with hostility.
