Wait is decompolation ever forbidden anywhere? Why? I’m not reproducing anything until I use anything I learned producing something similar, at which point I might be in trouble (at least if I publish the reproduction).

But forbidding decompilation? That’s like forbidding someone to buy a car to take it apart and learn exactly how it was put together - which is what every manufacturer does with competitors’ cars.
In The Netherlands there is an area that is a key part of the lifecycle of a specific bird called the "Grutto". It is not really endangered, but it is at risk, and if The Netherlands did nothing to protect it, then we would be the cause of its extinction.

The way we protect it is that all farmers can report a Grutto nest on their land. Then the government sends volunteers to find the nest. If the volunteer finds the nest, the farmer gets 1200 euro.

It's a simple scheme but I think it's very effective. It's a significant amount of money, the farmer will be looking out for the nests, and will make sure they don't get caught in their machinery.

I'm not entirely sure what the economics would be for bee hives. 1200 euro to put some stakes in the ground and make a small detour with your tractor, sacrificing maybe 10m2 of harvest makes sense. Not treating an entire field with insecticides might not.
Not to mention the problems you run into with banning something every peer of theirs is using. That goes a long way towards making your kid a social outcast (and why in practice would be as easy to enforce as making them wear something unfashionable). Unfortunately I think limiting time with clear boundaries is the only practical way to go, outside of collective action by all parents.

I suppose it was inevitable that someone would apply "whataboutism" to teenage mental health.

It is perfectly acceptable, and rational, to have concerns about a variety of problems facing society. Deciding to say "What about obesity?" when the discussion is about some other aspect of teenage mental health demonstrates a disturbing lack of empathy.

No one disagrees that obesity is, and will be, a major cause of morbidity. It serves no purpose to express outrage if another topic of extreme concern is also brought up for discussion.

I am not going to dare to judge what issue is the greater societal ailment. I do know that anything that robs society of human potential is a crime and it is our duty to show concern and work towards solutions.
Is Monte Carlo approach (versus a gradient based approach) basically trying a bunch of different things until something works, or is it more nuanced than that (perhaps with intelligent optimization of what to try next?)?

Hi, this might an exception among so many of experienced devs in this space. I'm Sarthak, a 4th year Electronics undergraduate student in Delhi Technological University(DTU), India.

I have been extensively working on open source projects and been a part of the MLH Fellowship and Google Summer of Code programs as well teaching basic of programming to young kids in India. I'm really interested in Security and have mostly worked on related projects as a Full-Stack Dev.

I'm looking for intern/ full-time (post graduation) opportunities in product based companies. While I'm improving my development skills and fundamentals, I would eventually like to transition over to Security in the future.

Feel free to reach out if you think I'll be a good fit for your company! I'm an adaptable quick learner - really looking forward to an opportunity to grow as a student developer.

Also, obviously, it's better to post more of the kind of content you want to see, rather than complain about the content you don't like.

Also, remember that leaving a comment (even a thoughtful one) without also leaving an upvote acts as an implicit downvote and will eventually trigger the flamewar detector in a thread. It's entirely possible a lot of technical threads get sunk because they simply generate technical conversation but not enough kudos.

> So is he a journalist or a hacker? It would sure be nice to know.

He clearly isn't a hacker, so of those two he got to be a journalist. He publishes information that might have been acquired by hackers, but nobody claims he hacked anything himself, all he did was make a website for publishing stuff (WikiLeaks). If you are one of those who call programmers "hackers" then you could call him a hacker, but he isn't a hacker in the popular definition of "someone who illegally breaks into others computers".

He was the illegal form of hacker a long time ago and was properly charged for it, but that was decades before wikileaks.

Edit: To be clear, not even USA claims he hacked anything in order to get it published on Wikileaks. People calling him a hacker refers to what he did in the 80's and is completely irrelevant to this case.
Who is responsible for policing content on Mastodon or other similar decentralised social media platforms?

Like it or not some entity or group need to be responsible for handling illegal and dangerous content.

As to the article, yeah NPR receives money from a lot of places. Is anyone asking about the motivation of NYT, WSJ, etc? Just trying to remain open minded about motives on all sides!

Right now, maybe. Or maybe more. Are you happy agreeing to it without being told? Being auto-enrolled without being told? What about if they add more later and don't feel the need to tell you as you didn't make the effort to opt out so must be happy with the tracking?

> Why is this so bad in comparison to any other web application or many other apps these days?

Because others do it doesn't make it right. People rail against web properties using what is seen as overly invasive telemetry/fingerprinting/profiling dark patterns too.

> but what exactly is the hidden danger here?

More information stored about you in more places, from whence it can leak further or dubious authorities can demand it be released, is a common fear in such cases for privacy campaigners and campaigners in general within the reach of certain governments.

Short answer, yes. We can feed billions without destroying ecosystems.

From the POV of the science of ecology agriculture (from ancient to modern times) is about the dumbest way to interact with Nature. It turns out that, once we understood more about how living systems actually work, we can design ecosystems that improve soil fertility and increase biodiversity and biomass over time while providing dense harvests (comparable to or even greater than modern destructive farming.)

Look at Permaculture, "Food forests", Syntropic agriculture, regenerative farming...

A good start might be "Treating the Farm as an Ecosystem with Gabe Brown Part 1, The 5 Tenets of Soil Health" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUmIdq0D6-A

Hashing on the client still seems redundant though. In the end, whatever value is sent to the server is essentially plaintext, because it's all an attacker needs to know to authenticate. Whether it's the raw text the user typed or some transformed version of it isn't really relevant.
These types of articles are actually what kept me here. The unique blend of comp sci, and socio-political-economic-whatever discussions is fantastic.
To be completely honest, the beginning is a bit tough. IIRC it focuses mostly on Niels Bohr, his life, and his philosophical approach to quantum physics.

using air purifiers like that for corona is mostly theater anyway, since air purifiers don't filter the air evenly (despite the misnomer metric "air changes per hour") in a room. mostly, it filters really well near the purifiers and poorly everywhere else. this of course depends on the strength of the fan, but for most consumer air purifiers, it's likely a few feet radius at best. that's not to say that even that isn't worth having in an average bedroom, but in a classroom, it's likely not doing much at all.

also, you're already distancing (which is doing nearly all the work there) and wearing masks (which is mostly theater in a distanced classroom as well). the virus isn't free-floating live in the classroom. most virus falls to the ground directly. of what's aloft, it becomes inactivated pretty quickly for all sorts of reasons (dessication, ph, temperature, radiation, etc.) and most likely won't land anywhere near a viable infection spot. so almost no active virus is filtered out before it has a chance to reach a moist, viable passageway in another person.

even huge central commercial systems likely wouldn't filter out coronavirus before they die off or land somewhere harmlessly. it's another potential intervention that sounds plausible on the surface, but is mostly useless against covid.
I'm a little skeptical of JS too!
No, you aren't.

Revenue is projected to be 3 billion this year, projected to be 10 billion by 2025. You also get Starlink with it, which is valued at 10 billion by itself.

At 10x revenue, it is valued similar to Facebook, Microsoft and Google.
How is this not a conflict of interest that would preclude this particular journalist from covering this particular story? Facebook pays a portion of her bills. She owns Facebook stock. Her husband’s career at Facebook (and beyond) could be derailed by what she writes about Facebook. She has a material and vested interest in portraying Facebook in the best light possible.

At the very least an editors note disclosing such a substantial conflict ought to be at the top of the page, not the bottom. This really colors my opinion of NPR’s editorial and ethical standards.
I don't see anything in this article that even hints at failure.

It's like people don't even read.
My observation is that issues requiring a true shake-up of those currently in power or strong financial holding (usually correlated) leads to actions being individualized. This includes:

climate - shake up of industrial winners if new policy is introduced so its on us to 'buy smart' rather than collectively 'produce smart'

schools and their performance - shake up of privilege funnels, tax bases, positions etc. if an equal division of funds is introduced so its on each family to find school and support rather than a system wide effort to make sure every kid has an educational experience that sets them up for success and participation in our democracy

immigration - shaking this up would have economic impacts we don't understand as the entire US economy is at least partially dependent on affordable/cheap labor or some form of second class worker to support supremely variable industries like farming. so its on you to immigrate correctly and complain about off-shored jobs instead of on the people who are offshoring them or hiring people without the 'correct' papers.
We need to eliminate the limited liability company. Far too many abuses are perpetrated only because no one is ultimately liable, from cigarette companies selling products that kill to situations like this where ships and people are abandoned.
Glowing...is this metaphorical or some industry term?
> It would sure be nice to know. If he is a journalist then I support him, if he is a hacker then I do not. I'd love an answer to this.

You mean you decide whether to support someone based on someone else's arbitrary classification, and not on the merits of their actions, like, I don't know, exposing the US' atrocious war crimes?
Both. Read my damn story, you corporate troll. https://www.ashleygjovik.com/ashleys-apple-story.html
> Why is 'reunification' quoted there?

Because it's a quotation. Someone other than the journalist said it. The quotation marks let you know that.

There is probably less of a profit motive for monoclonal antibodies, since it is just a few doses.

Vaccines with continual boosters mandated by law and required for travel or normal business entrance are a perpetual goldmine. Basically the exact opposite of what Gilead did with the Hepatitis C cure.

This is largely true at any smaller seed maturity or even Series A maturity.

As a sibling commenter mentioned, companies do have a fiduciary duty. But realistically, if the shareholders are composed of relatively unsophisticated investors/employees, you can do anything without being sued.

I obviously don’t subscribe to this kind of behavior at my own company, but being in the position it has opened my eyes the extent to which one could go if you were very greedy.
Wow. I thought I was safer than that believing this article, since it was NPR.
It’s true that China’s flights have not entered Taiwan territory. But it’s also quite obviously true that the point is to threaten Taiwan. It’s clearly saber rattling.

Boeing's market cap is $132 billion, so it's not obviously crazy. They're already the world's cheapest launch provider by a significant margin, and currently the only human-rated private launch company.

They've started launching the second-generation Starlink sats, which transfer data directly between each other by laser. If they get approval for the full network, they'll have total bandwidth about equal to the entire internet today.[1] It won't be competitive in cities but it'll be great in lower-density areas, exactly where cable/fiber are expensive. That alone is worth a lot of money.

If Starship with anything close to the turnaround they're claiming, they'll multiply the world's launch capacity by several orders of magnitude, drop launch costs by a couple orders of magnitude, and open up all sorts of applications in space that aren't affordable today.

There's risk of failure but altogether I'd say all that's worth as much as Boeing. If these things succeed, they'll be worth a lot more.

> The advice of how to look and be your best often came dressed up in language of empowerment — and it wasn’t wrong about what it took to succeed in a sexist, appearances-driven society. If magazines left girls with the distinct impression that our bodies and faces were being constantly appraised, assessed and compared, that impression was confirmed by our experiences in the world.

This is worth noting though. In a world where top twitch streamers make millions, are young women wrong to prioritize their appearance? Is it not a major factor in socioeconomic success?
Aren't you convinced by Starlink? There's a subscription business that should have great margins. It fits right in with the new remote work paradigm. Literally working from anywhere including the middle of the ocean is possible but only with Starlink. Other companies cannot offer enough bandwidth.
I went over this with you a few weeks ago. Only one of his eighteen charges has anything to do with hacking, and what actions he took is already very clear from the Manning trial.

The "hacking" he did was saying he'd try to crack a generic Windows password that provided zero additional documents. There's little chance anything else could come out in court as if they had proof he did something else they would have charged him with it. Even further, he'd still be a journalist if found guilty on this charge, as every other charge is for actions that are unquestionably journalism.

And I don't care if you're sick of hearing he can't get a fair trial, it's still true that he can't get a fair trial. Things like his attorney client privilege have already been compromised, and witnesses the US offered deals to for testifying have already recanted their testimony. This isn't a presupposition, it happened.
It's a shame that so many people continue to be indifferent and dismissive while making excuses for selfishness. Had empathy and compassion prevailed over greed, we had a chance to eliminate the virus. The best punishment for those who brought us to this point would be their gradual realization of the horror and suffering and the role their excuses and incompetence played in this outcome.
That's pretty amazing, 400 AD and you've got some area Bantu tribes that can suddenly smelt iron. They were open to trading for it, but still I wonder how that made the other tribes react. Fear? Jealousy? Wonderment?
The Case for More Energy
Though this can also backfire. I observed a huge architecture error in the central data structure / schema of our system. Everyone agreed that it was a huge problem so I got put in charge of fixing it. Of course when you build an entire system around a bad schema, it gets baked through every inch of that system. Over a year later and it’s mostly fixed, but my career has stalled and I took the major hit to fix it.
Galoob v. Nintendo is so narrow in scope that it probably doesn't even cover games made today. Hell, people trying to resell Duke Nukem mods tried to rely on it and the courts said no.

Nowadays the business model for most games is not to sell the game, but to sell unlock keys or other subscription items that could be trivially unlocked with a cheat device. Furthermore, just using that cheat device almost certainly requires defeating a DMCA 1201 technical protection measure. So my gut feeling is that it's probably already been overturned simply by shifting business practices and changes to the law.

"Tainting" isn't necessarily how the law works, either. The standard for copyright infringement in the US is access plus substantial similarity. If you have access, then you need to make sure any code you write is different enough (as determined by a jury) from what you've seen. Merely having seen NT kernel code doesn't mean you legally can't write any kernel code at all - you don't have to prove a negative of "well I didn't remember X". The court (and jury) is going to look at what you wrote and what Microsoft alleges you copied, and then try to determine if it's actually a copy or not.
Why do you pad years with an added 0? Looks weird.
> make it clear and easy to disable for those who care

Exactly. Telemetry can be a useful like you said and should be clear to users when they are being opted into it. Especially if someone has disabled all telemetry, they should be prompted to enable it or configure it with the new settings. If you silently re-enable it on their device when they already went thru the trouble of disabling it (and not expecting the settings to change day-to-day), you'll get some knee-jerk assumptions and reactions, whether your intentions where noble or not.

Agree completely

That is why Do No Harm is so pertinent to the discussion of vaccinate or do nothing when it comes to the very young.
Why do your past posts about your other toxic waste issue use the word "she" when referring to yourself? Why do you feel the need to do this? Facts stand by themselves, and this behavior only detracts from any actual credibility you might have had.
