Linux is used for very sensitive stuff. Stuff that involves a lot of money.

Messing with Linux is messing with that sensitive stuff, which means messing with important people and organizations. That is something that is very hard to get away with.

That guy just got himself into a legal supernightmare.

If someone is running a stock exchange on Linux and a guy introduces vulnerabilities on purpose, I am sure that person will be pretty upset and pursue litigation.
That's not a great rule in this case. Unless you also don't push on Monday 1pm because it could be someone's Monday 1am?

>most advanced IADS

that is the key point. Turkey mastered how to use drones to kill Pantsir-S1 in Syria, and immediately applied that in Libya and Azerbaijan with great success. Pantsir-S1 - the first were brought to Donbass in August 2014 with the tank battalions which hit near Ilovaysk - is what caused Ukraine to stop using air force in Donbass. With Pantsir-S1 advantage removed, the tank-based Russian forces there would become much easy to deal with for Ukrainian air force and especially for the high-precision munition what is used from the Turkish drones.

>modern jets

Russia is really far from sending airforce there, while Ukraine doesn't have much barriers for allowing the F-16 to fight there - as result the F-16s will appear there earlier thus putting Russia in the position of the one escalating conflict if Russia decides to bring the airforce. And if Russia does decide to send the planes in the outcome is far from obvious- while F-16 is older and worse in direct dogfight than the modern Russian planes it isn't that important as for the last 40 years USSR/Russian planes were mostly shot down from stand-off distance where NATO weaponry and situation awareness is better.
> I've never heard of green tea ice cream before.

Green tea ice cream is quite popular, you should try it! It used to be something you found mostly in Japanese restaurants but nowadays you can find it in grocery stores as well. Mr. Green Tea was one of the first big US suppliers, they've been prominent since the 1990s:

The department heads just learn of what is happening. They cannot say "we didn't do anything wrong!!!" without investigation because it will make the university in a very negative light (it is a serious ramifications). They need to get all the facts and knowing how it happens and who is responsible for this. So this way they can make a concise action and they will make a proper statement. They are taking "investigation first and comment after" cautiously and seriously.
Oh no worries! For future reference the main standard we apply is "is post X substantively the same story as post Y". In this case I'd say the answer is clearly yes, in the sense that the discussion it led to was more or less interchangeable with the other thread. But it's not always obvious in advance!

Edit: turns out the mod who downweighted the original thread, when the two were on the front page at the same time, thought that this one added significant new information and so the discussion should move here. In other words they saw things the same way you did. It's a reasonable interpretation :)
The golden age of "I don't bother pirating anything anymore" is rapidly coming to a close, and tech companies have killed it. Ever-worsening DRM, paying creators amounts asymptotically approaching zero, nuking accounts with thousands of dollars invested into the ecosystem (because the algorithmic gods saw a pattern in clouds), balkanizing content until streaming services just become cable, increasing prices while decreasing quality of service, triple-dipping their customers (why just have them pay for your service when you can get them to pay for your service, serve them ads, and sell profiles of their browsing habits!).

My class.

Quote from student: "Thanks for having the best class."

Reponse from me: "Best?! You're getting clobbered in my class."

Quote from student: "Yeah, I'm not doing that well, but the bullshitters who always manage to butter up the Professor and skate through are actually failing for the first time ever. Everybody knows where they stand in your class. And, they know that if they put in the work they get the grade and if they don't, well, they get hammered."

Response from me: "Thanks, I guess?"

I considered it a compliment only because my father who taught high school for almost 4 decades said: "You're teaching a class. The students have to think you know your material, and they have to think you are fair. Nothing more. If they like you and/or respect you, so be it ... but those are non-goals. Your goal is to teach them the material, not be their friend."
Why do you care? Just do what you want. Anxiety problem solved.

"The Muslim Student Followers of the Imam's Line published documents seized in the embassy (including painstakingly reconstructed shredded documents) in a series of books called "Documents from the US Espionage Den" (Persian: اسناد لانه جاسوس امریكا, Asnād-e lāneh-e jasusi Amrikā).[10] These books included telegrams, correspondence, and reports from the United States Department of State and Central Intelligence Agency, some of which remain classified to this day."
Any particular reason for the insult? I don't remember saying anything bad about you.

Maybe, we could have found more in common than you may think. We both seem to be passionate about the same kind of stuff.

I was under the impression that we should make an effort to be a wee bit more respectful with each other, than we might in venues like Reddit or SO (where they have the "digital sneer" down to a science).

That was the only thing I could find that mentioned anything like it at all.

I checked my builds every which way from Sunday, and I never had a double-embedded static lib. I was wondering if they may have been mixed up.

Otherwise, there's nothing at all about it.

I pretty much always use static libs, but sometimes, I may need a .framework. I've been using SPM for months, and have published a bunch of libs. I do tend to be conservative, and reduce the surface of dependencies wherever possible. I eat my own dog food, and am the only consumer (that I know of) of my packages. My chains tend to be short.
Oh right, I got Daily Mail and Daily Mirror mixed up >_<

Why do you think that enough of an investigation hasn't been performed in order to understand culpability?

That was what their comment said.

I would feel that you are switching analogies...

This analogy is pretty valid, the in-flight-experiment analogy is invalid.
Hmmm, that's an interesting question.

A person breaths out about 2.3 lbs of CO2 each day, which amounts to 0.6 lbs of carbon, all of which must have come from your food.

Meanwhile, a person defecates about 1 lb per day, about 75% of which is water. Of the residue, about 25-50% of it is bacteria, and the remainder the undigested portion of your food. Bacteria is typically accounted 53% carbon; the undigested fats, carbohydrates and proteins will vary a lot in percentage, but is 40% carbon for carbohydrates, 50% for proteins, and "more" for fats.

Which leaves a lot of variance, but something like 0.15 lbs of carbon exiting at as a solid seems like a reasonable estimate.

So the answer would be: you turn about 80% of the carbon in your food into CO2 gas.
Can you provide some concrete examples of bigotry? So far, this is very inspecific and "problematic"...
> I understand people don't like ads, but at some point doesn't someone have to pay creators for content?

No, the role of "content creator paid by impression and dependent on people not being able to skip intrusive segments of videos that they watch" has no intrinsic right or need to exist. There are lots of other ways for civilization to develop.
They submitted patches that did nothing but introduce vulnerabilities, in a test to see if they would get through. They've done this previously for a research paper.
Good find! Worth a follow up to get more!
Exactly. That's answered higher up in the comment tree you are responding to.
In general you try to obtain consent from their boss, so that if the people you pentested on complain you can point to their boss and say "Hey they agreed to it" and that will be the end of the story. In this case it's not clear who the "boss" is but something like the Linux Foundation would be a good start.

Monthly payments stay level even if principals go up, as long as interest rates go down.
I think rent still accrued while eviction and without getting into whether that is right or wrong (landlords didn't get an expense moratorium), I think whatever specific solution may of applied to this instance due to the pandemic is beside the point. The issue was there prior to the pandemic.

Prior to the pandemic, I saw a boba tea shop in our SF neighborhood take well over a year to open (only then to have the pandemic crop up); there's a small specialty grocer is going into the second year of construction and waiting on city issues, there are other shopfronts where they started work and just stopped not to speak of empty storefronts that just never even rent for years at a time and all of this prior to the pandemic. This in a neighborhood which still gets some decent foot traffic.

From my perspective, and I do have a fair amount of experience in retail, I wouldn't touch San Francisco as a small independent proprietor; it's risky without these hurdles and with them you'd better be packing substantial investment, be already well connected within the city bureaucracy, and have some sort of prior reason to think you'd be successful in the market (business already known from elsewhere, famous chef, etc. )
> it's not like it's an unbelievable claim. The media didn’t invent that narrative.

They were recklessly uncritical of an anonymous law enforcement source, while ignoring opposing evidence. From the 3rd paragraph of the article:

Nobody on the record claimed it happened. The autopsy found no blunt trauma to the head. Sicknick's own family kept urging the press to stop spreading this story because he called them the night of January 6 and told them he was fine — obviously inconsistent with the media's claim that he died by having his skull bashed in — and his own mother kept saying that she believed he died of a stroke.

The media does not show this level of credulity in unnamed law enforcement sources when told, for example, that an officer acted in self-defense when shooting a Black suspect. Their naivete comes and goes as convenient.
I agree, but I would say the better result, most likely unachievable now, would be to fix the holes that required a humans feelings to ensure security. Maybe some shift towards that direction could result from this.
Your tech department being blackballed from submitting Linux patches is a pretty embarrassing consequence. What else would happen? It's not like anyone will fine them.

There's morphological complexity and then there's semantic one. I grew up speaking one of Turkic and one of Slavic languages. Morphology-wise, both of those are massively more complicated as compared to English. But English is way more analytically powerful/flexible. It allows for constructions and frame of mind that are not quite possible in non-analytic languages. For even more dramatic example, consider math. The latter has barely any morphology to speak of. But its expressive flexibility is legendary if not unbeatable. Math famously allows for generalizations that simply do not exist in nature, just because reason/analysis allows for it.

It's also a matter of culture. For example, writing overly long sentences in passive voice in Russian is encouraged if not considered a mark of sophisticated writing whereas in English it's a massive faux-pas. Reading English I get the sense that meaning takes precedence over syntactic complexity. I can see why English might come off as, uhh, simple if one is used to bloated prose and reading between the lines. In math every word and sentence matters. I sense English strives for that as well.

Besides, English handles morphological complexity by way of syntax and massive semantic overloading of words.

Aside from logically vivid constructions and phrases, as a nonnonative speaker of English, I really like secondary/n-ary meaning to simple/common/"little" words that we are typically not taught as ESL (or EnglishAsNthLanguage). For example, I was delighted to discover "we made it" = "we are successful", "we made here on time" = "we got here on time", "we are making good time" = "we are traveling faster than expected" etc. I also love English constructions like "it's pretty ugly", "it's little too much" etc :) Basically, anything in English that doesn't have 1-1 equivalent in Slavic/Turkic languages immediately perks up my ears/eyes. Thankfully, there's a ton of that in English.
I don't think it is true that referee calls in soccer are more consequential than in e.g. rugby. In fact I would argue that in rugby a referee could make very subtle calls (that would likely not be picked up by many fans even) that can very substantially change a game, e.g. just how he referees the breakdown or scrums. Let's not even talk about giving or not giving a try etc..

It doesn't have to stay in the form of leaves. Only a fraction (maybe not tiny) really goes back to CO2, but a lot turns into other organisms, raw fiber, etc.

So you argument would be: why then do trees not bury themselves in humus?

They have just learned about the details of the research conducted:

> Leadership in the University of Minnesota Department of Computer Science & Engineering learned today about the details of research being conducted by one of its faculty members and graduate students into the security of the Linux Kernel.

I'm going to say that the odds are that the faculty member in question is not going to be a faculty member anymore especially if the ban remains in place as the said faculty member probably at best fibbed the leadership before about his research.

My take on formal verification was that we are still not close to being able to usefully prove the validity of the types of nontrivial programs that make up DeFi contracts. It can help, sure, but companies serious about security need to invest in internal auditing (that may not seem to be generating obvious returns) instead of hoping for a bug bounty Hail Mary.

If these firms are out there and are being hired I suppose that counts.
A lot of IRBs are a joke.

The way I've seen Harvard, Stanford, and a few other university researchers dodge IRB review is by doing research in "private" time in collaboration with a private entity.

There is no effective oversight over IRBs, so they really range quite a bit. Some are really stringent and some allow anything.

This is a very smart strategic move on behalf of Microsoft that I would have never guessed (not because it doesn't make sense but simply out of corporate pride, considering they are the authors of the "Linux Facts" memorandum...).

I think it's smart because this will capture all those Linux people who aren't super comfortable administrating their own distro and even for those that are it's now giving them another option if they ever need to run things both in Windows and Linux at the same time or just run into some Linux issues and don't want to spend the time on them they can switch to Windows 10 WSL.

At this point the only thing that I still think it doesn't make much sense is Microsoft running/developing their own kernel. It's entirely possible for them to start running Linux and run all the WIN32 support, drivers, DirectX, etc as a separate sandbox (similar to the type of sandbox WSL runs). The performance overhead from doing that should be negligible on modern hardware.

EDIT: note that I only mean switching to Linux kernel for their desktop OS, there are plenty of usecases of Microsoft kernels where every bit of performance matters but I suspect those will continue to use their own kernel as part of Windows Server releases.
From my understanding, it wasn't this. It was that they didn't come clean or provide a quick emergency stop when they saw that the patches would make it through. Although, I'm having trouble sifting through the rage/drama.

Have worked in QC. You make a good point. There’s a lot of bandwagoning via producing fairly trivial libraries. To get into QC, to understand what’s going on, you’re better to learn a bit of linear algebra and follow some introductory lecture. IMO this effort is worth it to discover how quantum error correction works, because it really is quite mind blowing when the penny first drops... perhaps only recursion also had that effect on me.
