That's a far stricter presentation of Scrum than it deserves. The scrum guide doesn't prescribe a sprint length any more specifically than "less than a month"; it doesn't say "you can only deploy once a sprint".

Now, it might be that some people selling Scrum have Very Specific Views about some of these things, but that's not Scrum either.

The Greek wiretapping case involving Ericsson equipment was not due to a “trapdoor” but a malicious implant installed by a threat actor. This is documented in an excellent article by the IEEE [1]

Darknet Diaries produced a podcast on the whole affair which makes for great listening. The podcast episode includes additional details which have surfaced after the IEEE article mentioned [2]

There is a difference between legitimate questions and concern trolling.
There's also a historical angle here that's important to inspect - Git was designed to specifically be content agnostic. There are some predecessors in the SCM space (like VSS) that are specifically language aware and allow the checking out of line ranges (pinning them so that no one else will make a conflicting change specifically) and even entire functions - these systems can cause a lot of grief while failing to protect the logic they're specifically trying to protect. As the warts on SVN got more and more visible I think the general assumption was that the replacement SCM would come out of this code aware space - but it didn't and in retrospect we all dodged a huge bullet when that happened.

I absolutely adore tooling around git that makes diffs more visible - one thing I absolutely gush over is anything that can detect and highlight function reordering... however, the core process of merging and rebasing and all that jazz - I don't think we're going to find anything automated that I'll ever trust when I'm not working on a ridiculously clean codebase - minor changes can have echo effects and when two people are coding in the same general area they need to be aware of what the other person is trying to do.
The Myth of Practice
I'm sorry but this is a very low effort post that a quick look at any article about Snowden's revelations would crush. Wikipedia simply cannot be used like this. You might as well count words on pro and against articles. Especially not useful as most facts in this area are at best poisoned facts -knowledge that has a biased source that cannot be trusted like the US intelligence community- and you are using a mainly US English site which in itself will have a bias against China.

If you really do want to compare you could compare proven backdoors (which would destroy Cisco but not Huawei) instead of looking at accusations, which is pointless.
Shooting a film is very much an act of discipline to a nearly militaristic degree if you are on a good set and the film isn't trying crazy new experimental things.

You can know really well how long a light person will take to do a thing, or how long the camera will take to find an angle. Knowing when your client will move their arse to send you the test_data.csv is very much unknowable.
Who doesn't? It's the best source of almost everything. Perfect mix of culturally important twitter and news screenshots and entertaining gifs.
I would mention that you can find an equal amount of controversies, if not vast amounts more, about the US government, and that there are entire agencies that manipulate media and Wikipedia articles. An accusation is far from a finding of fact and a discovered peer-reviewed exploit.

Also, the US could seem to care less if the home routers, modems, phones, and other equipment made in China are backdoored that these business employees are still using.

If you want some fun examples of counter-correlations, this is a good article: https://ianmsc.substack.com/p/the-more-masks-fail-the-more-w...

Yes, those examples are cherry-picked, but if you're defending the null hypothesis - mask mandates don't work - that's a perfectly valid argument for your case.

If you argue that mask mandates work, it's on you to explain every single counter-correlation, you can't cherry-pick correlations that happen to support your case.
> The people who are landlords agree to the risk of owning a property and renting it out to someone. Why should I feel bad when the risk comes to fruition? Why should anyone?

Ok then. People who didn't take on the risk to buy a home in 2009 when homes were cheap should not complain that homes are too expensive now, therefore we should not have tax payer funded affordable housing. Those same people didn't take on the risk to go to school and get a better job. Why should I feel bad when someone wants the fruits of risk, but doesn't want to take on any of the risk?
I view this as inevitable. Networking infrastructure has a valid national security interest.

Companies in China are extensions of the state and tools of foreign policy. Sure these companies are notionally private but the people who own them exist because the CCP allows them to and the price for that is loyalty.

I believe this will continue and I fully expect that at some point the United States will deem those born in mainland China, regardless of current citizenship, to be a security risk and they won't be allowed to work in areas of national security or national interest.

This goes beyond classified material and extends to China cheating on trade including, but not limited to, the wholesale theft of intellectual property through "partnerships" and other means as the price Western companies pay for "access" to the Chinese market.

Western companies won't "win" in China because the CCP won't allow it to happen. They're literally giving away their secret sauce chasing a phantom. There's a reason why there are Chinese versions of every Western company you can think of that's dominant in China.

Why the issue with those born in mainland China? Because China doesn't allow dual-citizenship. Those that become naturalized in the United States, for example, lose their Chinese citizenship. This then becomes a carrot the CCP can dangle in front of those wishing to return: restoration of citizenship. That is, of course, if you happen to have a particular set of knowledge or skills deemed important to China.

What I believe is most needed immediately is reciprocity in trade. That is, if Western companies aren't given fair access to the Chinese market (for the record, it's China's right to restrict this for whatever national interest they wish) then Chinese companies should be similarly restricted in the West.
It’s still ridiculous
I am a improvisational musician for a reason.

I think there is a qualitative difference.

Previous means of influencing politics involved NGO's and political parties actively working different demographics in order to get them to vote in the organization's interest. These organizations may loosely be considered managerial bureaucracies, whether they are labor unions, or activist NGO's, or political parties. Even large scale media campaigns conducted via mass psychology are essentially managerial or bureaucratic in nature, using mass organizations at a large scale.

The new means of manufacturing consent are not in this character. Rather than acting directly on mass groups using mass organizations, they operate by directly targeting individuals and niche groups leveraging algorithms and digital means. It's different paradigm: mass vs niche, mass media vs targeted media, mass psychology vs individual psychological profiling, large bureaucratic organizations vs smaller technologically enabled teams, the management of people vs the management of algorithms.

It's two different approaches to power, and hence, two different elite groups. And when you have two different elite groups, you have conflict. It's a new world, a revolution in the making.
I doubt that they are actually using MAC filtering, but probably some kind of captive portal that the Remarkable doesn't have support for (without setting up a SOCKS proxy, which doesn't count as a solution, IMO)[0]. Most of these captive portal systems allow someone with privileges to add a MAC address to the system manually, so that device has access without having to go through the portal itself. In the old days, that was the kosher way to get Xboxes and the like on hotel Wi-Fi (they'd often have a number you could call from the room to get a network admin to put your widget on the list).

I read the article and I think the author chose a weird title. In my view misinformation is the least interesting thing discussed, and in fact Schmidt offered a solution right in the article. Legitimate news sources just need to start telling us where the information comes from so we can verify it.

I think the consequences of the geo political race, and the questions around who owns and operates our AI teddy bears is far more interesting. Who is going to decide what is racist, and who will be listening to the conversions we have with our teddy bears.
"this idea of the self as master is as old as Aristotle"

IIRC Aristotle's writing tends to explicitly exclude slaves (i.e. the majority of population) and women from moral reasoning, so the idea of self is discussed in the context of literate (so not very poor) free adult male citizens, perhaps the top 5-10% of the population at most. Quoting Aristotle, "The slave is wholly lacking the deliberative element; the female has it but it lacks authority; the child has it but it is incomplete".

In that time and place they invariably are literal masters of a household that's quite larger than modern households, including slaves, women, kids and younger male adults; so for the target audience of Aristotle's work it's never about just them alone as all of them have quite significant rights (and some responsibilities) over multiple other people; Aristotle was not writing for or about the "lower 90%".
Marginalia does not generally appear over the text on which it comments, because that would make both the text and the marginalia difficult to read. (Just look at the word - it's text that appears in the margins.)

So for practically all purposes, treating each note as an image which should be rendered to the side of a particular part of the dynamically-flowed text will solve the problem. This isn't that hard to do.

If someone is underlining parts of the text itself, that isn't independent of the flow of the text, and so it's harder to reflow. But I'm taking "notes" to mean commentary.
The key is in the first D: "distributed." A DDoS is designed to look just like legitimate traffic, but coming from many sources all at once. The goal of a successful attack is to both overwhelm the target network by sheer volume, and to make it difficult to stop the attacker without also blocking legitimate traffic. They persist in large part because they exploit the interconnectivity that makes the internet useful in the first place, without which it would cease to be.
It is because diff is syntax agnostic. You might be able to get away with this hack in some cases but that complicates algorithm and will break in some other cases (how about nested brackets?

Citation needed for "reasonably viewed". For example, Stalin said this to Mao in 1949:

"In China a war for peace, as it were, is taking place. The question of peace greatly preoccupies the Soviet Union as well, though we have already had peace for the past four years. With regards to China, there is no immediate threat at the present time: Japan has yet to stand up on its feet and is thus not ready for war; America, though it screams war, is actually afraid of war more than anything; Europe is afraid of war; in essence, there is no one to fight with China, not unless Kim Il Sung decides to invade China?
Peace will depend on our efforts. If we continue to be friendly, peace can last not only 5-10 years, but 20-25 years and perhaps even longer."

> Even if we assume that all Huawei products are currently backdoored, the security of commercial IT products is so bad that they pose no impediment to any organization more talented than a group of script kiddies.

The primary issue that the USG has with Huawei equipment is not technical security. It’s trust and governance.

I’ll give you a really simplistic hypothetical example: Let’s say a Cisco and a Huawei box have the same exact vulnerability, and the US and China engage in an all-out cyber war. China can simply block Huawei’s support staff with sanctions. They don’t need a back door. Meanwhile the Cisco tech is already patching the Cisco box. Equal technology, unequal results.

Not all issues regarding technology are about purely technical issues. Technology has to be implemented, maintained, patched, supported, etc. Those are primarily concerns of trust.

Thermodynamics says to reverse the process and get carbon from CO2 we need to put all that energy back, with a hefty bonus due to inefficiencies.

The key insight is that you don't need to turn carbon dioxide back into carbon. You just need to store those carbon atoms it in a stable form that keeps them out of the atmosphere. The most plausible way of doing that at large scale is to accelerate the reaction of naturally occurring silicates from rocks with atmospheric CO2.

"From a thermodynamic point of view, inorganic carbonates represent a lower energy state than CO2; hence the carbonation reaction is exothermic..."

That's from chapter 7 of the IPCC Special Report on Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage, which I recommend reading for more details.

Maybe in a small deployment, yes, but in bigger deployments the price is not the main point. If you need a specific software fix pushed through quickly, good luck if you have US made equipment. Even when (if) you succeed it is often fixed by Chinese or other Asian coders anyway. It is insanity.

Of course there exists plenty of evidence of American surveillance.

But when the USA spies, it does so in the interests of the American state and in the shared interests of the Five Eyes. When China spies it does so in the interest of China. For Americans, or citizens of the Five Eyes, there is at least some aligned interest with the state they inhabit and some political recourse available within it. Nothing like that exists for them with China.

> it doesn't help parents who are being kept from returning to work by the need to care for their children

I’m not sympathetic to parents that view school as daycare.

I feel bad for those kids, but the education system shouldn’t cater to this behavior.

I feel like these kids are also consuming a larger share of education resources due to goofing off, etc because their parents may not be involved enough or setting higher standards/expectations for their kids.

It always gets framed as the hard working low income family who values education as a generational vehicle of mobility. The stereotypical immigrant family with mom and dad both working 3 jobs.

However, I feel like that is not the norm. There is a lot of people who just don’t care about education except for the free daycare and meals it provides. Many parents care more about their kids place on the sports team/etc than their test scores. They’ll let there kid play video games all day then cry about how remote learning doesn’t work.
google was originally based on pagerank, which was based on the idea that if you analyze the link structure of the web, you can assign quality scores to pages based on number of inbound links, and then use that quality score to propagate a high quality score to other pages that are linked to by pages with high quality scores. in other words: find the pages with reputations you trust, use their opinions to boost the reputations of other pages in the graph.

you could do the same for people. first off, a user looking at a search results page isn't uninformed, there's lots of signal in the results page for a search query: domain name, familiarity/recognition of domain name, abstract text quality (grammar/spelling), abstract text, spamminess, etc. for the trained eye, that's a good amount of signal, but who has a trained eye?

you could, say, have some ground truth rated webpages that you have human raters rate in house, and then you could use this to score actual users on the website in terms of who frequently picks the known best result. now you have a cohort of users who you trust in terms of clicking on quality search results.

now you just pay attention to what this cohort pays attention to and let their clicks materially boost the ranking of results.

this is just one over simplified way, i'm sure they do tons of stuff like this (with tons of other stuff to avoid abuse/seo/etc).
Sure, like I said, you don't need to do it if you don't get value from it.

Very neat.

The thing that scares me about doing any type of personal project for image sharing/hosting (especially with a free tier/trial) is that very quickly it will become a magnet for some very awful stuff. What are your plans for dealing with that?
Good. Our country has a long history of welcoming hard-working immigrants to do jobs that Americans refuse to do.

We should note that the total number of staff needed is very low. Few people leave their job rather than get a safe, effective, free vaccine.
