> The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives lost track of most of the guns, including two found at the scene where a U.S. Border Patrol Agent was fatally shot in the Arizona desert. The operation sparked a political backlash against the Obama administration.

> Attkisson left CBS in 2014 and is now the host of “Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson,” a weekly Sunday news program broadcast by the conservative Sinclair Broadcast Group.

> In her lawsuit, Attkisson says that two computer forensics teams identified an unauthorized communications channel opened into her laptop was connected to an IP address belonging to the U.S. Postal Service, “indicating unauthorized surveillance.”

> Government lawyers argue that Attkisson’s lawsuit does not include any evidence that Holder and Donahoe had direct involvement in spying on her.

> “At best, plaintiffs’ complaint suggests a mere possibility that Holder and Donahoe could have participated in developing or enforcing policies concerning electronic surveillance generally; there are no allegations that they conducted or ordered the particular incursions about which plaintiffs complain,” Justice Department lawyers argue in a legal brief filed in the 4th Circuit.

The Obama administration used USPS to spy on journalists investigating Fast and Furious. It sounded ridiculous at the time -- "The USPS is spying on journalists, and not the NSA, and not the FBI, and not the CIA? Suuure."

Not so ridiculous anymore.

I'm tired of being angry about this, I've been asking for change for most of my adult life. Our constitution isn't worth anything anymore. The federal government needs to shrink. Asking nicely to not be spied on does not work.

On a more silly note, this whole scenario reminds me of this Seinfeld clip. https://youtu.be/On3cQ0sPvSY?t=46
I appreciate the example, but that's way too broad and abstract compared to what I'm talking about.

"Specifically, the bill expands voter registration (e.g., automatic and same-day registration) and voting access (e.g., vote-by-mail and early voting). It also limits removing voters from voter rolls."

"The bill addresses ethics in all three branches of government, including by requiring a code of conduct for Supreme Court Justices, prohibiting Members of the House from serving on the board of a for-profit entity, and establishing additional conflict-of-interest and ethics provisions for federal employees and the White House."

What does any of that mean specifically? Expands voter registration and access how? Imposes what limits on removing voters from voter rolls? What's in the code of conduct for Supreme Court Justices? And on and on and on.

There has to be middle ground between a useless and abstract summary - that sounds more like a commercial than a true summary - and the bill itself with several pages of preamble just to define well-understood terms.
Not necessarily if you follow the "all land must sell on first landing" rule that is often forgotten. (After landing on an unowned square, if you refuse to buy at list price, it must go to auction by the bank [with the bank still collecting the funds].) A smaller starting money supply potentially forces fewer "at list price" purchases and shrewder auction house strategies potentially advantaging auction house strategy over luck of landing on a square and getting that first refusal.
its not proving negatives; blockchain needs to prove why on earth it's better than what already exists in the publishing space. I don't see why a smart contract in this specific instance is better than using the traditional legal system. The article gives plenty of good reasons why not; its up to blockchain people to tell us why to bother in the first place.
Fwiw, I can also usually do this and I would consider myself a world class dweller.

For me, it's about

- consistent bedtime

- doing as little as possible involving a screen in bed

- consistent bedtime routine

- consistent bedtime

Screwing any of these up can quite easily cause me to start worrying about things instead of falling asleep.

But I also think in part I'm just lucky and I can't really explain what causes it. I was always able to fall asleep in the car when I was younger, almost instantly. I can't fall asleep on public transport or planes at all though unless I'm really shattered.
You may be right, but I'm inclined, especially with government, to not attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by incompetence.
I'm not sure to be honest, but the above quote is the result of me distilling the seed he planted in my mind into as concise a statement as possible. Unless I am mistaken, his original (I think it was a StackOverflow post related to JQuery) was much longer.
May be it is just me, but my memory of old football in the 90 /00s wasn't like that at all. No Match was too easy, No Team were unbeatable.

Despite the old Analog TV, No 4K, No HDR, No 60fps, No Super Complex Codec, but the intensity was there. Something was transmitted from the field to audience in front of the tele. You can feel Roy Keane is about to punch somebody in the face if they dont make one more step or dont chase after the ball. And that is how time and time again Man Utd make their comebacks.

If we ignore the big teams like Liverpool, Man U, Arsenal, I remember Leads had the Australian pair Mark Viduka and Harry Kwell, Alan Shearer in Newcastle, Paolo Di Canio in West Ham, even Bolton Wanderer has Jay-Jay Okocha. Every team has a fighting Chance. And football was so much more fun back then.

I think somewhere along the line Football becomes very commercially focused. And big money flowing in means there are far less Middle Class Team. ( Sounds like our society in general ). And with less competition, along with players just dont seems to give a fuck about anything other than their pay cheque. The game becomes less interesting.
>The problem that's trying to get solved is a major corporation using its power to unilaterally perform an adverse action against an individual that may or may not be legal.

I may be wrong here but if power is the problem and it becomes centralized in a system such as what you're proposing there will inevitably be similar, or worse, situations than the one being discussed. This solution would only expand their opportunity to exploit.

Does the name "Aditya Pakki" really seem remotely "Chinese" or "Russian"? You might be a racist if you can't identify an obviously South Asian name as such. Although, honestly, even racists should be able to figure out the surname.
Hey @andonceagain (created 1 hour ago, karma: 5), you didn't answer to my reply

'Thanks @andonceagain (created 29mins ago, karma: 2). I always wondered is the view of the Laptev Sea as depressing as they say?'

Don't be rude - I'm fascinated to know more about the subarctic regions of a wannabe superpower. You can reply from your real account: no shame in it.
Saying B1351 "breaks through" is just like saying the original strain "breaks through" Pfizer. Pfizer isn't 100% efficacious on the original strain, nor is it 0%. Same with B1351. Luckily for us, new strains are closer to 100% than 0%.
That was my thinking too, surely their school's IRB would have a field day with this. The question is whether they ran this by their IRB at all. If they did it, there would be implications on the ethics of everything coming out of UMN. If they didn't, then the same for their lab. I know at my school things were quite clear - if your work requires any interaction with any human not in your lab, you need IRB approval. This is literally just a social engineering experiment, so of course IRB should have reviewed it.

Maybe a good opportunity for Google to let the entire Android ecosystem help Tile and beat Apple.
iso1361 already made the point well.

There’s a non-zero percent chance for upsets in the current system. In ESL there’d be no chance. Zero. Zilch. That difference is fundamental and transcends the collective psyche of world football.
I don't think we know if they contain bugs, but from what I gathered reading the mailing list, we do know that they added nothing of value.
Is that... like... a story though? "Private school you've not heard of in NYC has minor curriculum and staffing dust-up". That should struggle to make any part of the paper in a major city, and if it does, maybe a little column buried in the middle.

The only way that could possibly count as international news, certainly, is if you're looking for examples of some certain phenomenon and failing to come up with any more important or relevant than that.
Apple is less about privacy then they claim.
I don't see the difference between these and other 'hackers', white-hat, black-hat etc. The difference I see is the institution tested, Linux, is beloved here.

Usually people are admired here for finding vulnerabilities in all sorts of systems and processes. For example, when someone submits a false paper to a peer-reviewed journal, people around here root for them; I don't see complaints about wasting the time and violating the trust of the journal.

But should one of our beloved institutions be tested - now it's an outrage?

It's OOTB configured to use their free cloud service, but with 2 lines of config you can run your own central collection point instead. That's what I do for my home install.

BUT the UI for this is just a dropdown for each of your monitored servers. I've found I actually want to export data to a more robust system so I can view patterns across machines, too.
+1. Also it gives LE a beautiful ground for a false flag attack. FBI could inject CP themselves and then come back and ask Congress/lawmakers to ban the blockhain altogether, since now it carries on banned/illegal material.
It’s gotten especially bad in the past few years. I had a minor health scare recently and found it incredibly difficult to find relevant search results given hundreds of different queries describing my condition.

Yes: I noticed in Tallinn the police cars were called "Politsei" (from German Polizei) in contrast to Finnish "Poliisi" (from Swedish Polis).
Leicester City is the exception that proves the rule. They were the first first time winner since the 70s. Besides that year, there are basically 4 teams (although I guess it is now 5 if Liverpool can actually win) that have just traded the title back and forth for the last 25 years. Meanwhile there has only been one repeat Super Bowl winner in the last decade with 8 teams winning over the last 10 year span.
I guess what I am trying to get at is that this researcher's action does have its merit. This event does rise awareness of what sophisticated attacker group might try to do to kernel community. Admitting this would be the first step to hardening the kernel review process to prevent this kind of harm from happening again.

What I strongly disapprove of the researcher is that apparently no steps are taken to prevent real world consequences of malicious patches getting into kernel, I think the researcher should:

- Notify the kernel community promptly once malicious patches got past all review processes.

- Time these actions well such that malicious patches won't not get into a stable branch before they could be reverted.

----------------

Edit: reading the paper provided above, it seems that they did do both actions above. From the paper:

> Ensuring the safety of the experiment. In the experiment, we aim to demonstrate the practicality of stealthily introducing vulnerabilities through hypocrite commits. Our goal is not to introduce vulnerabilities to harm OSS. Therefore, we safely conduct the experiment to make sure that the introduced UAF bugs will not be merged into the actual Linux code. In addition to the minor patches that introduce UAF conditions, we also prepare the correct patches for fixing the minor issues. We send the minor patches to the Linux community through email to seek their feedback. Fortunately, there is a time window between the confirmation of a patch and the merging of the patch. Once a maintainer confirmed our patches, e.g., an email reply indicating “looks good”, we immediately notify the maintainers of the introduced UAF and request them to not go ahead to apply the patch. At the same time, we point out the correct fixing of the bug and provide our correct patch. In all the three cases, maintainers explicitly acknowledged and confirmed to not move forward with the incorrect patches.
All the UAF-introducing patches stayed only in the email exchanges, without even becoming a Git commit in Linux branches. Therefore, we ensured that none of our introduced UAF bugs was ever merged into any branch of the Linux kernel, and none of the Linux users would be affected.

So, unless the kernel maintenance team have another side of the story. The questions of ethics could only go as far as "wasting kernel community's time" rather than creating real world loop holes.

- Bits are the quantum of information.

If "idea" is the wrong word for the "quantum of human thought", what would be?

I'd preemptively say "word" is a poor candidate as it is in reference to oral language. If there's a distinction for a "thought word", then that would seem appropriate, just as in computer architecture "word" is distinct. Anecdotally, I usually don't think in English words, but in my own "ideas". Related ideas carry meaning and compose thoughts. Those thoughts I then translate into oral sentences via words. Words are the quantum of speech, ideas are the quantum of thought.
I hate the term "pentest", but apparently people who want lingo over the ability to do anything have won out over the decades. Besides being a meaningless inaccurate shortening of the phrase, an actually "pen test" would be part of putting a pen register on a phone. It just indicates that the newbies who created the term didn't know anything before.
As someone who has a 2016 MacBook Pro which is developing all sorts of problems within a month of AppleCare expiring, who couldn’t take it in to the genus bar, for the sensible my warranty expires soon fix anything wrong with this hardware, because of fucking COVID lockdown shit last year (apple was insanely conservative compared to all other businesses where I live, it was like they got their COVID policy/orders/response from another country... anyway I was stuck with a dying laptop due to COVID and business necessities (I can afford apple hardware, but not completely duplicate spare apple hardware, that’s what AppleCare and backups are for)

I’ll stop my rant... this is the best news I’ve heard in a while... just 12 months late to help me.... and that puts a really bad taste in my mouth. I suppose I’ll just add this to the list of reasons why they should cave when I demand they fix all the problems with my broken $6k AUD laptop when i take it in for the butterfly keyboard replacement thanks to the extended warranty program on the keyboard (and the fact the keyboard requiresa too-case replacement)
Hopefully MobileQubes [0] or similar competitors become more prevalent, there's a convention I go to where the hotel has had these kiosks since 2015. You pay ~$5 to rent a fully-charge external battery for 24 hours, with whatever connector your phone uses, after which you return it to the kiosk. If you fail to return it you're automatically charged the "buy" cost.

Yeah it's not free, but it's really nice if you underestimated your battery life since you're not tied to a single spot while charging it.

Right. Data management is a hard problem. Just look at SQL query planners, they are insane - but they are not perfect, and they only work on the premises you provide (schemas, indexes, memory, etc). The idea that you could introduce a library that fixes all data management issues for you is not well considered.
Microsoft, just go all in: embrace Linux kernel and make a MS GUI on top of it, call it MSLinux or something. It will save time/money along the way I believe.

That data is absolutely vital in many criminal investigations

What you're arguing for here is to holding data on everyone for several years on the grounds that you might commit a crime in the future or be planning to commit a crime now. I'm OK with this for someone who has aroused sufficient suspicion to justify surveillance, but your approach makes mass surveillance the default condition.
Very easy, if its not authorized it's not a pentest or red team operation.

Any pentester or red team considers their profession an ethical one.

By the response of the Linux Foundation, this is clearly not authorized nor falling into any bug bounty rules/framework they would offer. Social engineering attacks are often out of bounds for bug bounty - and even for authorized engagements need to follow strict rules and procedures.

Wonder if there are even legal steps that could be taken by Linux foundation.
It's been happening gradually over the course of the last 40-odd years.

How's the support for window functions? One thing I like about ActiveRecord is it's lazily evaluated and you compose queries. You can do p = Post.where(published: true); if x; p.where(x: true). Is that supported?

Not at all. "Masks work on a functional level, but people don't wear them if asked" would be something to tackle by policy differently than "masks offer no functional benefit".

Like fines and other enforcement measures for not wearing one beyond "please?".
CSS General Rules of Thumb – Muhammad Rehan Saeed
Don't they use some reasonably reviewable methods, like regular expressions? And, more importantly, reviewable volumes? Also, an ad blocker can always have a debug mode, where it can show you a rule that removed the element.

With ad blocking you have none of that. Gigabytes of text go into training, kilobytes of inscrutable numbers go out. And all the debug info you get is how certain the computer sounded saying no.
Money Stuff: You Can Sell the Trees You Don’t Cut
Yes and no - unless the cost of food, gas, electricity, housing and clothing also increased by 25%, it's hard to argue the dollar is worth 25% less.

Come to think of it - if the things that are predominantly bought by the 1% are devalued by 25% due to stimulus increasing the supply of money, but the things that are bought by everyone are not becoming much more expensive, isn't that empirical proof that trickle down economics doesn't work?

I worked as a cashier at one of the two Walmarts in Rapid City, SD last year, from summer to this January, between programming jobs. just before that (March—April sometime), my mom got covid, was incredibly sick for about ten days, and I took care of her during that time (while not wearing a mask except during an urgent care visit). South Dakota has never had a mask mandate. Walmart has a mask mandate for employees, but at least here in SD, they don't enforce it for customers. Rapid City is close to both Sturgis and Mt. Rushmore, and as such is a major tourism hub in the summer, especially during the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.

despite "poor mask-wearing form" (frequently worked with the mask being below my nose, so I could breathe while working), the predicted-to-be-apocalyptic nature of just how devastating the 2020 Sturgis Rally was supposed to be, the supposedly mass-fatality-inducing lack of state mask mandate, the supposedly significant outbreak caused by President Trump giving a speech at Mt. Rushmore on July 4th (with people traveling from all around the country to come see it), and me having literally taken care of a woman with covid for ten days while she had it... I have somehow avoided catching covid. I usually get sick all the time. I was the first case of H1N1 in the state a decade ago when I was (once again) working as a cashier at Walmart (& went to work with insufficient sleep due to preparing a D&D campaign for my friends the night before).

obviously anecdotes aren't evidence but I gotta say, I spent a year waiting for the supposed covidpocalypse to ravage South Dakota, especially the tourist-friendly Black Hills... and nothing significant happened, at all. many people have been sick and of course a few people have died, provably as a result of the 'vid... but overall, somehow, the pandemic has never significantly reared its head here, seemingly against all odds, given the rhetoric about the supposed importance of (now plural) mask-wearing, and my state's refusal to comply with official federal government recommendations

EDIT: should also mention that, for what it's worth, I did one PCR test for covid after visiting my mom, who had a very paranoid out-of-state friend over, and then a couple days later I caught a common cold. despite my insistence that this was a cold-ass cold and definitely not the 'vid, the friend demanded I get tested, as I was working in a "high-risk" "essential personnel" job (Walmart cashier), before she (friend) would commit to returning home as scheduled, as opposed to self-quarantining for two weeks. the test came back negative. the cold was gone in 72 hours.
