Imagine writing the whole article without ever so much as mentioning ions or plasma, never mind plasma fluid dynamics. What matter is supposed to be affected by magnetic fields? What generates them? What effects do electric currents induced by varying fields have on mixing and segregation?

That plasma fluid effects are routinely neglected is a disgrace, an indictment of everybody who pretends to be serious about studying the topic.

The article abstract mentions MHD, the trivial cousin of plasma fluid dynamics. MHD mostly occurs only in artificially stabilized environments designed to prevent mathematically intractable phenomena. Modeling while avoiding general PFD is looking for your keys under the streetlamp solely because the light is better there.
What I realized recently is the AI is subjective thing. AI for an Investor might be simple math for an engineer.
Some radiologists think that AI will be really good for filtering out normal images, so that they only have to review anomalies. But I don't think that a model that detects diseases will be too successful, even if they manage to make it really work.

For one, it's actually difficult to interpret and find signs in radiologic images. Obvious signs are obvious, but there are others that could be image artifacts, or just indolent variations, or point to something serious. Even with a generally good accuracy, it'll be hard that a general model performs well on those anomalies with low prevalence.

Second, radiologic signs are just signs. Most diseases are diagnosed with more than just radiologic signs. Most signs are compatible with a lot of diseases. If you see a model that pretends to diagnose a certain disease, well, they're looking at it wrong.

Third, you need a way to have responsibility for diagnoses, and a way to find and correct errors. I don't think that's possible with an unsupervised AI, you'll always need a doctor there to check the image and verify the output. There won't be much savings there. Whenever someone says "AI is going to revolutionize medicine", it's really hard to believe them. I mean, you just have to look at EKGs, modern machines can detect anomalies but doctors still learn how to interpret EKGs and double check what the machine says. It's a help, but not a replacement.
So people edit html using these "online tools" (because <p> is hard apparently) and then nobody cares to proofread, and even whole paragraphs are added without anyone noticing.

Great.

Nobody cares about the content apparently. Nobody checks if the generated HTML makes sense. It's all about spinning the wheel.

Sigh.

Something we don't know because of the lack of transparency, which is (partly) why OpenDemocracy raised a lawsuit.

Not only that, but Steve even clarified exactly what he meant by “runs OSX” in the presentation with a big list of features the iPhone got from it. Multitasking, networking, power management, etc, etc. Funnily enough binary compatible hardware drivers weren’t on the list.
Yes but some of the more special models are harder to open.
I've heard that in Russia and Kazakhstan drug dealers use Telegram. It just might be a local fashion, when few people started using it and spread it around. I don't think that it's difficult to find phone number tied to unrelated person. Just ask some homeless guy to buy one.
They aren't criminal until the court system declares them criminal. The lawyer is defending them before they are declared criminals.
That is what "presumption of innocence" means.

Otherwise we can just go back to use pitchforks and similar (and actually it's happening on social media, and it's not looking good)
Some of the technical SEO is good though, like simply making the page crawlable and content being in a logical order.

The "fiddle with H1" or "write X amount of words" or "buy Y number of links with a % of anchor text" is silly.
I think you're wrong on point 1. PGP was always very much about communicating with people you don't know. Otherwise you'd just use symmetric encryption. Web of trust is still the best way we have to do that. Newer applications like signal etc are what require each pair of correspondents to exchange keys and "complete the graph".

The difference with more "modern" technologies is just that they let you implicitly trust keys more easily. Web browsers just have you trust hundreds of CAs without even making you aware of them. Verifying keys on messaging apps is unknown and not understood by the vast majority of users.
> The errors present by these hackers are so comical it's simply unbelievable.

True crime stories abound with comical errors (as do plenty of true not-crime stories). As it turns out, real people fuck up in comical ways all the time.

> I'm supposed to believe some elite Russian hacking group keeps their crypto wallets running on a US host where the FBI just logs right in and snatches the private key?

No, you aren't supposed to believe either (a) that DarkSide are an elite group, or (b) any particular narrative about how the FBI got the private key. AFAICT, no one is selling the first claim, and the only people selling narratives about how the FBI got the private key are doing conspiracy-theory-level creative interpretation of documents.
Happy birthday day PGP!
I just realised I do something similar - almost every term I search will have the word "Reddit" appended to it. It's not perfect, but at least the content is intended for human consumption.
Still, the damage is purely local and limited and much more likely to be detected. Human intelligence operations are among the most risky and expensive.
Oh, I didn't know about that one, but I understand why it got discontinued, looks like something out of Nokia's year 2000 playbook.
I was thinking more along the lines of Zune HD.
Still doesn't explain how they got a hold of the wallet's private key. Yes, it is possible to trace bitcoin between wallets and if you're working with the NSA it seems also easy to get a hold of IPs that accessed them. But getting to the actual computer that was behind an IP, much less the cryptographic key that may or may not be stored on it, is a different question. Maybe they don't even want people to know the process, to prevent others from evading it.
To me this sounds like one of the most quintessential examples of that xkcd.

Yes sometimes its overused, but that doesn't mean its never right.
Well, there is the German Coast Guard..

The issue with parsing ASN.1 is not inherent in the specification itself. The issue is about trying to produce DER/BER parser that is hardwired to parse particular instance of the syntax and directly fills some kind of C structs without the intermediate step of producing some kind of (DOM-like) tree of ASN.1 abstract objects. Something like this is usually done for two reasons: efficiency and the idea that such parser can be simpler than full BER parser (as it can ignore constructs that "cannot happen" in the particular syntax). Somewhat predictably, most ASN.1 software that uses this mental model of "ASN.1 is too complex, this is the easiest and fastest way to parse it" has something to do with cryptography, which makes the resulting issues even more critical.

Valid criticism of ASN.1 would probably be that the abstract object model is too general on one hand and contains useless historical data types on the other (and the article is particular example of that). But that mostly is not related in any way to complexity and safety of the parsing or the currently popular meme of "unsafe" == bad.
I sure too understand where his feelings come from, but the questions are not our first implusive feelings but how we act on them and what we get in the end.

In your example you probably did the right thing by not persuing. But you could have also persued and fought a needless battle. Or it could have gone the other way: You could have overcome yourself and even teamed up with that other person.

Finding people doing similar things can be very shocking, because it threatens your self image. But it is also a chance to learn and grow, because who other than the person doing similar things as you did is someone to learn from?

A startup with few customers is not Adobe. Adobe has a virtual monopoly in its space with few alternatives, the above is yet another IDE in a space dominated by free products.

Anyway, to each their own..
I've written a $SHELL in Go which implements a lot of the same features one requires from an IDE such as low latency keyboard input, events subsystem, syntax highlighting, syntax completion, auto-completion suggestions (popups), etc and all of which needs to be context sensitive. So it's definitely possible to write an IDE in Go.

I'd wager the biggest hurdle to writing an IDE in Go isn't the language but rather the lack of mature graphics library bindings. I've seen some attempts at building GUI toolkits in Go but it's fair to say the language's strong points are still firmly in CLI and backend web development domains.

> Your journalist sources are from the Global Times, "part of a broader set of Chinese state media outlets that constitute the Chinese government's propaganda apparatus."

Right, and the Western claims all stem from people or organizations connected to the US state department or intelligence apparatus. These claims are propagated by the same bastions of journalistic truth which stoked popular fervor in the run-up to the Iraq War and every other unjustified US foreign coup or war (e.g., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nayirah_testimony).

This brings back memories. I was an international student from Greece at the University of San Francisco, that fall, and I was present at a CS presentation that took place at the time (I'm not sure if it was Phill or not, but definitely one of the original authors). At the end of the presentation there was a pile of floppies that you could get a copy of the software. I got one along with my other classmates.

Unfortunately, I was approached a couple of days later and asked to return the floppy back. My status as an international student did not allow me to have a copy ( arms, munitions export rules, whatever). I felt really upset about it, since I was the only one asked to give my floppy back. I might still have a copy of the floppy in a box in the attic somewhere.
This is all true, but I don't think that they are positioning this "Xcode Cloud" as an all-purpose continuous integration platform. It's really only for folks building iOS/macOS apps using standard templates and workflows. An opinionated, convenient, zero-configuration toolchain that automatically integrates with the rest of the ecosystem does sound like it would simplify project management for many developers, while folks who needs something more advanced can always use more flexible third-party tools.

This is wrong. By this logic the planet could support infinite people, which is clearly impossible.

> The planet doesn't have to do the work. We make our own food.

We don't just conjure food from the ether, it requires space and resources, both of which are finite. We're already using half of the world's habitable land for farming, and we need to retain some wild spaces to perform all of the ecological functions that farmland can't. There's a limited amount of fresh water, etc.

And food isn't the only bottleneck. If the current population all lived a modern western lifestyle, we'd be emitting an even more unsustainable amount of carbon.

The planet is a closed, finite system, so by definition there must be some upper limit to what it can support.
ok, you still haven't addressed how hiring a PR firm interacts with sincerity, especially given how it is literally hiring some one to decide what your messaging is. i don't see the step where only people who just need a little help expressing themselves hire PR firms.
"Opens source" isn't a business model.

At the end of the day, it boils down to a choice as to how you setlle the intellectual property rights which derive from your creative work. Either you restrict the use, sharing and altering of your work by others; or you give a limitless license and anyone is free to do whatever.

Putting your code out there for free redefines the relationship between you and the users of your code. And it does so at both sides at the same time. It's the latter part which usually tends to be forgotten.

As a developer, sharing your work under an open source license is not an obligation to provide premium support. Or any a support at all, for that matter. All you did was share your work, others are free to either pick it up and use it, or walk past and choose something else.

As a user, an open source license doesn't come with a warranty, nor does it imply that you are entitled to support from the maintainer. All you get from an open source license is the freedom to use, adapt and share the software under a similar license.

It means that maintainers of open source projects are well within their rights to say "No. I'm not going to do that." to whatever request you submit to them. Whether that's an issue queue or an e-mail.

When a maintainer receives a request to add a complex feature or fix a complex bug and the request starts with "We use your code at our business / company / organization..." then it's perfectly acceptable to reply with "I would love to. Please contact me at my e-mail address and I'll send you my offer." As a maintainer, open source still leaves you free to charge for any support people solicit with you. You're even free to differentiate between "this is what I'm willing to do in my spare time, this is what I'm willing to do for a price."

The big question, then, is: Why don't open source maintainers do this?

That's where the answer gets complex. For instance, the jump from side project to sustainable income is difficult. Not all projects would yield enough support / servicing work. And not all projects are interesting enough to turn into a full time job. Depending where you live, making a little extra income from a side project may even get taxed away, making it just not interesting to turn it into a side business.

So, why don't maintainers then just refuse largish questions if they can only work on a project in their spare time? I suppose that's the hard part: publish creative work means putting a part of yourself out there. When facing an audience, being able to take a step back from criticism and feedback is probably the hardest part to creative work. There's all sorts of rationalizations one makes to defend a perceived requirement or obligation to keep working on open source projects, even when it's to one's own detriment. Learning how to deal with that in a healthy manner takes time and experience.
the "uyghur problem" for china is that there is an ethnic minority that is substantially poorer than the average, worse educated, less integrated and some of which has been involved in terrorist attacks. this is the same thing that france calls "separatism". they use a better word but it's inevitably about muslims.

as i have said a thousand times though, i don't think they're approaching this "problem" the right way.

Again, ethics are a matter of opinion, laws are a matter of fact. Yes, in the US you have the legal right to an attorney. Whether that attorney is behaving ethically depends on the attorney’s behavior and the person making the judgment on the ethics. You and I don’t have to have the same opinion on what’s ethical. We can each advocate for our own ideas of ethics to be codified into policy.

Because it's technically the same as GNU/Linux repositories (i.e. relies on community and FLOSS). Therefore, one can expect that when it grows, and average Joe starts using it, there will be no huge inflow of malware in it.

> But we have historically seen issues with those repos haven’t we?

Care to elaborate?
The point I was meaning to make is that it's quite easy to make a site uncrawlable, and therefore unfindable in search engines.

e.g. Google always had problems indexing Flash websites. It historically had issues with sites heavily relying on Javascript. Nowadays it's less of a problem, at least for Googlebot.

I think it's funny that Android users are so angry with Apple for not releasing iMessage and FaceTime for Android. How dare Apple not make their communications platforms even more dominant! Not having iMessage on Android is immoral! Not having FaceTime on Android is "a literal F-U" to their customers!

I think it's funny because Apple left a decade-long opening for Google to build equally good Android alternatives to iMessage and FaceTime and dominate in cross-platform communication. Instead, twelve chat platforms later, I'm not entirely sure if Google has finally released something that won't be superseded next year.

Exactly. If the source code (or parts thereof) where copied, you could easily say which parts by just putting both things side by side. The interns project was open source after all.

This way you had to expose your own code, but it would easily win you the case in the court of public opinion. The only reason not to do this (that I can think of) is that the intern did not actually copy your code.
