It’s amusing that my post was downvoted by what seem to be Trump supporters even when I did not comment on the politics, just noting that the opening of the suit was something unique and quite funny in the context of normal briefs.

> the argument from authority that the founders believed X, Y, and Z is pure nonsense. Who cares? They're dead. We've had nearly 250 years to learn more about what works and what doesn't.

Sure but this is a straw man. The constitution provides mechanisms for it to be changed. It has been in effect for 231 years and amended 27 times.

In general with laws, I think intent matters a lot. If the law is bad, we should change it to reflect that rather than create a twisted interpretation to suit whoever is in power.
One theory I've heard is that for some particularly bad areas, Baltimore for example, the purpose is to keep people off the street for as long as possible to give young people a chance to grow up without seeing crime as a viable career choice. The idea being that some neigbhorhoods are too far gone, and rehabilitation won't work when people will be released from prison back into crime infested neighborhoods. Whether it's effective or not, I don't know.
The tone of the first half of your comment had me thinking the rest of it was about not sanitizing vocabulary, rather than talking about the hygiene hypothesis, haha.
It's always worth remembering: Google couched leaving China in 2010 in humanitarian / ethical terms, but the reason they left was extremely clear: they got hacked internally by Chinese agents using physical access to the intranet. While Google got their security house in order, the most prudent course of action to protect their own company (including their employees) was to cut that physical access.

Google restarted business in China around the same time it was able to bring the BeyondCorp initiative online.
That would be a bug. I use it all day with hundreds of tabs (sometimes thousands, but I'm getting better about pruning back) and don't see this. I know many, many people who could say the same.

If you have time, please file it: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi . If you're willing, include a profile ( https://profiler.firefox.com is pretty easy to use). You can look at about:performance (or in newer versions, about:processes, but I don't think that's in release yet.) When you file the bug, you will probably be asked if it still happens in safe mode (which would probably blame an addon).
As much as I admire the cause, I can't ignore the irony:

First Signal doesn't want to build a federated service because it is too complicated to build (for the guys who brought us a new class of encryption) and now they are asking us for proxy servers because their centralized network can be censored...

But since Signal is probably the best option for private communication right now, I don't want anybody to discourage to run a proxy right now.
> gambling on games with negative expected value

There are different ways to treat "expected" - in one sense, by definition every stock has neutral expected value in the short term, that's what the market price is. And in the longer term, it has the expected value of the rate of increase of the overall market. Given what we've seen the overall market do in the past year, and the unprecedented combination of massive government relief spending and low interest rates, owning stocks at all right now seems to be a great idea.

If you use a different way of calculating "expected", then everyone expected Gamestop to be worth very little based on all the traditional markers of a stock, future cash flows, etc. But those people were wrong for quite a while and many of them lost a lot of money, and many people who bet against the common wisdom made a lot of money. Even today the price is still a factor of 10 higher than what most analysts recently had it at.

Basically, if you're so sure that this was a "negative expected value" bet for everyone who went long on gamestop, why wouldn't you short it today and make a ton of money?

I agree that this stock run-up was a form of gambling, but it's dishonest to write all these people off as making bad decisions because it's not like there is a true expected value that anyone can calculate with certainty ahead of time.
No, this may be your prediction of what may happen. Please don't abuse the term "absolutely", particularly with an uncertain prediction.
Tie Fighter is the best Star Wars game ever. The most amazing trick it pulled was completely winning me over to the imperial side in just a few missions. Starting the game, I felt uneasy playing for the "evil empire". By the end of the first campaign (6 missions or so in) I couldn't wait to blast the rebel scum out of the skies!!
>I'm sorry, do you pay more taxes than you owe? Why would anyone do that.

There's a difference between tax avoidance and paying more than you owe, but IIRC you could donate to the US, though I don't know why anyone would do that.

I did put forward real criticism, I said, straight out, that if they actually wanted to help, besides patting their backs and paying lip service, they would actually bring more brains out of poverty and there are many ways one can do that. They are certainly not as profitable as money laundering charities, but what does a proletariat know of the world of billionaires? Perhaps I am too stupid to see how amassing billions while underpaying workers, and making money off children in sweat shops makes the world a better place.

There is indeed some bitterness, I wasn't born lucky, heart defects, mental illnesses, poverty, all the good stuff.

The other downside to MacPorts' original way of building everything is that sometimes, for whatever reason, things just wouldn't build and getting help with that was thorny, particularly for those who'd just started dabbling in software development or CLI usage. Where a vet or moderately seasoned user might find the thrown error actionable, the new user would google the error, find a couple of semi-related but ultimately unhelpful archived mailing list threads from n years ago, and probably give up and find some other way to get the package they need.

Careful. As someone with UC myself, I’d like to say, be careful promoting procedures like this. I’ve looked into this myself, quiet a bit, and although many studies show promise—as someone in this thread also previously said; we are not yet sure what is going on—it is not clear that poop transplants (especially administered at home by oneself) is safe.

Don’t do this yourself. Speak to your doctor.
sun.misc.Unsafe has not been removed or blocked, and yes, there's also safe replacements -- VarHandles and the foreign memory API -- for much of its functionality, which will be removed piecemeal.

> I have to hand it to Oracle, this every six months release thing was a brilliant way to squeeze money from customers and absolutely screw over the OSS users and ecosystem in the long run.

Huh? How? We've open sourced the entire JDK, making it -- for the first time in Java's 25-year history -- 100% open-source, and we did away with major releases altogether, keeping only the minor ones, and making upgrades cheaper and easier. It's true that some people have not yet internalised what the change means, though. All change is scary, but this one is definitely better for users and for FOSS Java.
Most farmers don't get proper money for their crop, much less than what protesting farmers are getting. These farmers have something like minimum wage that protects them. These laws will remove these protection.

Those who are ok with it, don't have that protection, already get much lower payment than what they should, law does not effect them. This is the vast majority of farmers btw. So they don't care.

But saying just because vast majority ok without knowing what is going on is very shellfish. Educate yourself before making allegations.
The long game for 23andMe will likely be using their valuable dataset for something called Personalized Medicine.

"Personalized medicine is based on using an individual's genetic profile to make the best therapeutic choice by facilitating predictions about whether that person will benefit from a particular medicine or suffer serious side effects."

In other words, they will become a platform for data-driven healthcare decisions and even development of new medicine.

Those who think their endgame is to indiscriminately sell users' data, as if they're a healthcare Mark Zuckerberg, are being unimaginative.
It's a mixed bag. Short of defining a formal spec and writing the program with a theorem prover, "bug-free" code isn't really a realistic goal. However, Rust does come with tools that at the very least allow the building of APIs that are very difficult to abuse via the trait system and other features such as sum types. Ultimately, spaghetti code is possible in virtually any language, so keeping a good eye on architecture is necessary no matter the language. What I would say is that Rust makes it easier to keep architecture constrained and correct.
My first experience with homebrew (as a non-mac user) was setting up a build agent a few years ago. It seemed like a nice way to get everything going, as well as being analogous to the ways it was setup on other OSes (using packages to manage the SDKs/tooling).

I think my mistake was treating it like any other unix-y [multi-user] system, because I installed everything with one account, then created a dedicated 'build' account for the agent to run as -- exactly as our linux (and even, ahem, Windows) agents were setup. This caused all kinds of failures for the 'build' user as everything was owned by and had permissions setup for the first user.

I came away kind of disgusted at the horrible patterns in use. Windows has spent two decades cleaning up that mistake, and here's a comparably new system making the same, awful mistakes?

You're never going to do that by taking down the current order of the day violently. Violent revolutions lead (whether social or financial) lead to violent societies. That's my main point. Don't assume that a violent revolutions wrapped in idealism is any less violent.
Some thoughts: You are pricing per monthly active users, but there may be sites/apps that ping users all the time, and others that may do it far less frequently based on specific actions. It may help to break down pricing by number of notifications rather than active users.
Part of the problem with either approach is that certain identifying information is also necessary for just making the web work. For example, on the EFF's Cover Your Tracks page (what is basically a fingerprinting demonstration), it shows that the screen resolution of my monitor conveys 16.25 bits of information. I use a particularly wonky landscape display mounted in portrait mode, which doesn't help the matter, but there's a problem: we can't lie about it.

You see, a while back we decided to allow writing CSS that changed the design of a website based on the size of it's containing viewport. This is called "responsive design" and is very useful; however, it also means that websites rely on having a correct window size in order to display content correctly. We cannot be inconsistent about our lies: if we were to, say, lie about the screen resolution but still handle media queries faithfully, then not only can the fingerprinter see through our lie, it can use the fact that we lied as extra information. (Remember how DNT served as an effective tracking indicator?) So that would mean browsers would have to start, say, snapping browser windows to certain common viewports or capping the number of distinct breakpoints a website's CSS is allowed to have; both of which have UX or compatibility implications.

Yeah. Admittedly, I was frustrated with having to rely on $1000+ a month prescriptions to treat my symptoms rather than the underlying cause. My venture into researching the human microbiome and homemade enemas was sprinkled with “danger” and “don’t try this at home.” Being riddled with daily bouts of diarrhea caused by my UC, I wasn’t go to just sit idly by.

Enema kits are sold in grocery stores and are perfectly safe if not used regularly. There was simply no reason for me to believe that breaking open some probiotic capsules or putting a little poop in that enema is going to kill me. More than likely, toxic megacolon or colon cancer is going to kill me if I didn’t take the risk.

I consider myself a body hacker, having experimented with nootropics for many years before. Hacking of any kind involves some level of risk, and it’s risks that I’m willing to take to become better.
I've always been a fan of Eddie Izzard's performances as well.

Brew does not start randomly upgrading unrelated packages.

Packages have dependencies, and those dependencies have dependencies. Try `brew deps ---tree x` to see all the dependencies for you package.

Look at `brew pin` to pin packages you don't want brew to upgrade.

Many formula are versioned. For example if you install `postgresql` it will do major upgrades of postgres as they become available, but if you install `postgres@9.6` it will only install updates to 9.6.
Our American founders, who are so venerated as the architects of the country's acceptance of free speech, were not too keen on an unfettered discourse of the masses. Coming from a time when the public’s reach was limited by expensive distribution methods and a lack of literacy, the assumption was that this free speech they proposed would be mostly limited to learned men like themselves. This similar assumption was initially made for the internet, who’s culture was primarily defined by tech savvy, college graduates. The internet was an "island of sanity" because it was limited to a relatively small group of likeminded people choosing to use it. What is happening now is the success of democracy, not its failure. For all its fanfare within our culture—very few countries, organizations, institutions have supported true democracy and its unlikely they’ll start now.

On Crypto Governance
SPACs usually have a clause in them that the money is refunded to the shareholders if it fails to complete an acquisition by a certain target date. The expenses of running the fund come out of the initial investment put up by the SPAC's sponsors, i.e. the folks who create the SPAC make the public investors whole and eat the losses themselves. This is why there's a de facto floor of $10 on pre-merger SPAC stock prices. In theory, it's a risk-less investment.

In practice, the SPAC sponsor ends up acquiring a sub-par company and taking it public regardless. If they don't, they lose all of their initial investment, yet if they do, they have a chance of unloading the shares on the public markets before anyone finds out. I saw a bunch of these when combing though SPAC lists - funds that had < 6 months left on the clock take a chain of nursing homes public, or a chain of used-car dealerships, or other companies that had no business being on the public markets. Then there's a very strong incentive to juice the financials and hide the skeletons so they can get the merger past shareholder vote. Hence the reputation SPACs are getting as vehicles for fraud.
Sorry, I've never used AHK, but my understanding is it's very much focused on scripting UI's.

We support a little bit of that (you can tab between different fields in a webpage with Blaze), but we're much more focused on communications (text).

Most of our features are really about making static or dynamic messages or documents. So for example, lots of forms support, formulas, data validation, etc... And making this all as accessible as possible.
> You can spin up the proxy and check yourself.

I just did, and you are right. I stand corrected, sorry for spreading FUD. Other criticism of Signal still applies. I would edit my original message to reflect that, however i can't because it's been posted a while ago.

An attacker (such as the government) may not drop connections in real-time to Signal proxies without considerable efforts (i.e. for every HTTPS stream, verifying whether the remote server is a Signal proxy). However, after passively recording SNI headers, the attacker check those remote servers to figure out whether they are Signal proxies. As a conclusion, this Signal proxy is an effective censorship-circumvention tool, but does not protect users from the consequences of circumventing government censorship (which may be harsh).

A possible mitigation would be to have the virtualhost terminating the outer TLS connection serve the reverse proxy only from a specific folder/location, which cannot be well-known. So the attacker would see you are connecting to https://proxy.example, but as long as https://proxy.example serves legit-looking pages on /, and the Signal proxy is served from https://proxy.example/foobar, the attacker may not passively discover the actual reverse proxy. Of course, every Signal proxy would need to use a different subfolder.
I don't think reasonable people can consider racism a reaction to the civil rights movement that happened in 1960s. Anti-black racism was fostered in what became USA from 17thC, in order to justify slavery. It has been somewhat lessened of late, but if it didn't exist in 1960 there would have been no reason for a civil rights movement. This is like blaming the Native American genocide on recent complaints about it from Native Americans.

So, it's foolish to blame "the events of 1/6" on civil rights organizers. It's also foolish to blame the events on racism. Sure, there were racists involved, but as mentioned above we have had racists in USA for a long time. If they really wanted to have a racist insurrection, they probably would have done it on the occasion of the election of an actual black man, instead of that of an ancient white man whose 93-year record in public office clearly documents that he is also a racist. The occupy-capitol people foolishly identify with a politician whose speech and policies are racist, and that is certainly a large part of his appeal to them. Of course if black people had done similar things they would have been gunned down. Still, the occupy-capitol people never would have turned to Trump if any "real" politician had had a sensible message with respect to national conditions. To name a single example among many, wages have been stagnant since 1971. [0] That's longer than most Americans have been alive. Why doesn't any non-racist politician pretend to care about that?

Lawyers tend to be risk averse, and this is for good reason. A good lawyer will probably help you think about negative consequences.

In my opinion, a great lawyer will additionally discuss risks and the costs of mitigating them, particularly given a limited budget.

At the risk of sounding dumb; why not? As long as you put money in you're willing to lose it seems it's better to take a calculated risk on a stock or cryptocurrency in hopes for a return.
