If we follow this argument to it's logical conclusion, then the other individual with the gun (or, quite literally, any bystander in such a situation, defending themselves from an active shooter) shooting and killing Rittenhouse would have also been a perfectly reasonable outcome.

I have no doubt that he, too, felt threatened for his life by an armed gunman at some point in that altercation.

I also assume that, as the saying goes, either of the people that Rittenhouse killed would have also rather faced a trial by twelve, than be carried by six.
A quick search revealed a LinkedIn profile[0] of a previous Ubiquiti employee, he seemed to have left the company in March 2021. I wonder what was first, he quitting his job at Ubiquiti or the FBI Raid.

> I've been at organizations where probably 75% of the software engineering org could be fired with no impact on creativity, growth, or maintenance efficacy.

That's likely what the other employees were saying, too.

It's not exclusive to software orgs, either. Everyone at every company is a special rockstar without whom the company could not survive, and everyone around them is a disposable dumb asshole.
> plugged full-time into a “facebook disneyland” to live out the rest of their years in digitally augmented bliss as an avatar alongside friends and family.

the tech for this is essentially sci-fi though. We have no way of uploading the brain, nor "plugging it in" without ensuring bodily functions. Is Facebook gonna go into the aged care business, hiring nurses and doctors to take care of their customer's lives while they have a headset on for the rest of their life?
you don't need two tables. if you have a lot of data in storage and access a small portion, you'll probably save on total cost with this setting.
I mean I agree with you on the technicality, but the uniquely American view that someone can take a gun to a protest and not be looking for trouble is a very interesting one.
I don’t disagree with you. But just before writing that message I was code reviewing some python that was vulnerable a to the most basic SQL injection. Who needs or wants execution authority when you can dump the users table of salted sha passwords?
This is what Google already does, does it not? Why else would they be recording outbound clicks?

Unfortunately, this doesn't entirely solve the problem. Counting clicks doesn't work because you don't know if the result was truly worthwhile or if the user was just duped by clickbait.

As you say, clicking when they stop trying sites is better, but I don't know how good that signal to noise ratio is. A low-quality site might answer my question, sort of, perhaps in the minimal way that gets me to stop searching. But perhaps it wouldn't answer it nearly as well as a high-quality site that would really illuminate and explain things and lead to more useful information for me to explore. Both those scenarios would look identical to the click-tracking code of the search engine.
If you feel guilty, give some of your pay to your coworkers or charity, not your capitalist overlord.
afaik those don’t let both parties control the mouse. I thought that’s what this does.
What pushed me away from Signal, after advocating for it for years (in fact deleting WhatsApp for more than a year; WhatsApp IS messaging in my country. Period), trying to get friends and family on it, is that Signal really doesn’t care. It doesn’t care how people will easily use it, like it. When there were issues like endless notification hell for cross platform connections they were busy doing crypto. They talked about ID and it’s nowhere to be seen. Messages delays, non-delivery were widespread issues and there were not even a comment by Signal staff, not a KB article.

Also the amount of hostility and derision they show to their own users and possible contributors at places like Github is what finally did it for me.

At this point I have no patience left for Signal and after years my friends and contacts were pleasantly surprised to find me back on WhatsApp as the primary messaging app. Many of them had signal just to communicate with me that they uninstalled.

Most of them really tried using it (trying to convince their own circle) and found it essentially unusable compared to WhatsApp and Telegram.
On the theme of the personal newsletter mentioned in the article, I really like the idea of using a group chat on Matrix with threads [1] as a personal newsletter - where I can post something say once a week and my friends can react or add comments if they wish.

It means they can get a direct notification (if they'd like), on a self hosted platform (my Matrix server), with any client they choose.

The problem isn't you, but others who do not try to curate their own diverse sources. When time comes to make democratic decisions, if those who are influenced outnumbered people like you, there'd be no way for you to make your case and convince the others of your correctness.
That surprised me too. The very awkward implementation of interrupts was also one of the things that held back the popularity of the Intel 8008.
His father lived there, and he didn’t drive out of state with a gun. This is just factually wrong.
I recommend getting your information from the trial itself as much of this is spelled out quite clearly.
Sure, but banks those banks are actually providing value for large numbers of real people right now; cryptocurrencies have yet to show that they can do much what has been claimed about them.
It's clearly not an established process since Biden's mandates is being struck down.
Wow, it took me longer than 258 seconds just to understand the problem statement. I had to read it several times before I understood what "border" meant, as it does not match common usage. I noticed that you referred to them as "edges" instead which would have immediately made sense to me.

It's not just measuring your problem solving abilities but also your famiarity with the author's writing style.
I dunno. Until the recent changes, Instagram has been very very much a net positive for me. I've connected with artists I love, learned how to improve my work, and paid a particular woodworker north of $1k for a couple pochade boxes I absolutely adore. Without Instagram, my life would be significantly less fulfilling.

Caveat though: I'm very good at clicking 'not interested' for content that isn't right in my particularly desired niche.
benefit-less jobs are up to 29hr/week, not 15.

and it's not because of automation. Fast food restaurant isn't run by one person with downtime.
I always wonder where the 'we need good guys with guns to stop the bad guys with guns' go when they're talking about Gaige.

He saw Kyle, an active shooter, drew on him to get him to stop shooting people, and so Kyle just gets to shoot him?

EDIT: This flamewar is not worth it (what did I expect in this thread?), but just please try to remember the lessons Batman tries to teach us about vigilante justice (it just encourages more crime by making 'justice' a personal endeavor subject to the follies of the individual).
I'm no expert on law, but it seems likely that in a country where publicly carrying a gun at all is illegal, that both Grosskreutz and Rittenhouse would have been able to legitimately claim self-defense had they shot and killed the other, because either could have reasonably assumed (even if incorrectly) that the other was some sort of terrorist or mass shooter.
James Ellroy really turned that one on its head.
I'm also really skeptical that one could maintain 1K/lines per day for more than a couple weeks if that.

There have been a lot of studies that measure average output of new code at only ~15 or so LOC/day. One can manage more on small projects for a short amount of time.

I could believe porting between two C-like languages is 1 order of magnitude easier, but not 2. Std library differences, porting idioms, it adds up.

Even just reading and really understanding 1K lines/day is a lot.
That was the part that captured me too. I really want to create a "personal feed" or newsletter out of a Matrix [1] group chat with threads [1] enabled, where I can post once a week or so and my friends can react/reply.

He took a gun to a protest because he had the right to do so. He can take a gun to home depot if he wants to. Doesn't matter if he was "looking for trouble", he had the constitutional right to do that.
And you are ignoring the events that led up to a kid walking around with powerful weapon in the middle of a riot. In your other post, that is now flagged, you talked about how other countries have a "monopoly on violence". That monopoly was lost in Kenosha when the cops didn't intervene and the governor of the state refused to call in the national guard to put in an end to the riots.

Dangerous political gamesmanship between Trump and various mayors and governors got people killed, destroyed a ton of property, and has done permanent damage to the social fabric of this country.

" SHARP subsequently re-victimized his employer by causing the publication of misleading news articles about the company’s handling of the breach that he perpetrated,

which were followed by a significant drop in the company’s share price associated with the loss of billions of dollars in its market capitalization."
At what point were Intel/IBM/Amazon/Toyota (Remember the Prius?) ever written off?
Yeah, that is pretty wild. Total prioritization of developer convenience over actual users of the library.
Misty Colored Misogyny: The Politics of False Memory Syndrome
Presumably as long as FFIs are based on C calling conventions and running native instructions it would be unsafe. You could imagine cleaner FFIs that have significant restrictions placed on them (I'd imagine sandboxing would be required) but if the goal is to have it operate with as little overhead as possible, then the current regime is basically what you end up with and it would be decidedly unsafe.
There's the clusterboard from pine64 which fits up to seven CPU boards: https://pine64.com/product-category/clusterboard/

You can use two different CPU boards with the clusterboard:

- SOPINE A64 compute module with a quad core ARM Cortex A53 and 2 GB RAM

- SOEDGE AI NEURAL MODULE with a dual-Core ARM Cortex A35, a NPU IP from Verisilicon Vivante and 2 GB RAM

Note that the pinout of the SOPINE/SOEDGE modules is not compatible with the Raspberry Pi 1 and 3 compute modules (DDR3 vs. DDR2 SO-DIMM socket and obviously a different pinout), so you unfortunately can't mix them.

Pine64 also recently announced the SOQuartz module with a more powerful SoC (Rockchip RK3566 with four ARM Cortex-A55 cores, a Mali-G52 GPU and a 0.8 TOPS NPU), which uses the same form factor as the Raspberry Pi 4 compute modules. This might be an interesting alternative for future cluster solutions based on the new form factor.

So instead of shooting men, criminals no less, that were blatantly threatening his life, he should have filed a police report and then appear in court to make his case?
Didn't they recently fire the Rust team?
No, I'd rather he stayed at home, rather than to play at police officer as a trigger happy youth.
‘So Many Dimensions’: A Drought Study Underlines the Complexity of Climate
Of note, both lethal cases occurred over failure to submit 4 pages of registration and a $200 tax (NFA Form 1 or 4).
Don’t ever try to search for Apple TV. Are you talking about the physical streaming device? The ‘TV’ app (iOS version? iPadOS version? tvOS version? macOS version? Or maybe the version on your LG TV?) Or maybe you’re even talking about the AppleTV+ streaming service.

Same searching issues with ‘Mail’, ‘Notes’, ‘Reminders’, ‘Calendar’, ‘Numbers’, etc. Impossible to troubleshoot.

I’m as much of an Apple fanboy as the next guy, but I totally agree that this naming is ridiculous.

At least Safari isn’t ‘Web’ (yet).
Again, I can't emphasize this enough, the bottom 50% holds 32% of liabilities and nearly 100% of NET liabilities.

We just are clearly at an impasse on that though. You can sell a house to pay off a mortgage so it's not harmful debt because it is OFFSET BY ASSETS THAT ALSO INFLATE (In fact, the brief period where that wasn't true caused the largest financial crisis of our lifetimes). What do you sell to pay off credit card loans/student loans/etc.?
I somehow doubt Softbank had anything to do with the layoffs.

Although it seems that many Softbank investments may have layoffs as correlation rather than causation. They seem to invest in companies that will have to do layoffs when profitable growth does not materialize.

Yeah, I was looking forward to 1500-ish versions of "circle back" "reach out" "leverage" "long pole in tent", etc...

>SHARP falsely stated, in part and substance, that someone else must have used his PayPal account to make the purchase.

and to me it looks like somebody intentionally left breadcrumb trail leading to the guy. With cloud paying so nice these days nobody is going to risk that way for the paltry $2M (ie. less than 3-4 years earnings in Bay Area for the people like this). It looks like the stock price drop is the real "follow the money" trailhead, and that doesn't lead to the guy.

And given that it were about Ubiquiti customer databases - the value of [stealth] access to those customers may possibly dwarf those few billions of valuation drop - so even the stock drop may have been a smoke screen. I mean Ubiquiti as a target reminds me of SolarWinds.

Those comments back then is also interestingly predictive https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26692987 - having a fall back guy kind of absolves the company from architectural and operational sins which allowed the hack and pacifies the customers who otherwise would feel unease of being possibly hacked by somebody serious.
That's a false dichotomy if there ever was one but feel free to limit your view to those two options.
You can't shoot someone in the US for swinging something at your head. Otherwise all bar fights would end in gun violence like in a cheesy Western film.
If I remember correctly the CreateFileEx win32 api takes a flag and template file handle to copy when creating a new file. Maybe the copy operations can use this api and expect AV software to ignore the operation. (I have no idea about the performance of such approach)
Or maybe a syscall (preferably at filesystem level) that can be introduced for bulk copying purposes and AVs can ignore such calls.
I'd love for some combination of Armitage/Metasploit/Ghidra/Gyoithon/Shodan but aimed at exploring blockchain smart contracts for vulnerabilities. Put a nice little GUI list of contract addresses and associated wallets, with USD-equivalent valuations to help you prioritize your targets.
Nice, didn't know about that one. Cool law.
Obviously, yes, but we're not discussing them, we're discussing mr. Rittenhouse.
This was largely based on an implicit technical promise that did not pan out. Bitcoin simply doesn't scale well enough to ever be a functional payment system, certainly not a commonly used one. I doubt any digital currency will ever be performant enough to work like a credit card while being widely adopted, not without some level of centralization, but then why bother?
I don't know how this could even remotely be enforced.
Isn't this an alternative to that funding strategy?
That's not the contradiction you seem to think it is. It's easy to imagine scenarios where two parties could be legitimately acting in self-defense, because of what they reasonably -- but possibly incorrectly -- believe about the other's motive.

This kind of very easy dramatic escalation is exactly why carrying rifles around on the street at all should be illegal. But that's a separate question from the one of whether according to the set of laws we actually live under, Rittenhouse is guilty of murder or not.
This is a problem GenX faced that the Millineals are just learning.

I only earned 50k or under and I paid off my student loan for a computer science degree
Ex-Ubiquiti employee here. Nick Sharp wasn't just a senior software engineer. He was the Cloud Lead and ran the whole cloud team. His LinkedIn profile will confirm it. This is why he had access to everything.

Nick had his hands in everything from GitHub to Slack and we could never understand why or how. He rose to power in the company by claiming to find a vulnerability that let him access the CEO's personal system, but nobody I spoke to ever knew what the vulnerability was. I discussed this with another ex-Ubiquiti person in an old thread [1] Now I'm positive he faked the security issue as a power move, just as he faked this attack for extortion purposes.

He would also harass people and use his control over Slack and GitHub against the people he didn't like. Many people left around this time partially because Nick made everything so difficult at the company. What a terribly depressing series of events.

There’s an option in iTunes to sync entire library, in the phone music page.

It takes a while to tx 100+ gb, sure, but you do it once when you get the phone and after that you just move diffs.

It’s not perfect - I get errors from time to time saying music I have isn’t available in my region. Fix is a resync of those songs that got lost.

This is one of those go with the flow situations… the cost is dealing with iTunes, the benefit is carrying around all the music you’ve collected over the years in your pocket.

There may be some non iTunes methods that work as well, I’ve never looked into it.
I can understand being skittish about it. We had to have crossed paths back then (though probably not IRL-- I went to a couple of the early DefCon's but that was it). I've mostly lost touch with everybody from "the scene", sadly.

There was a conversation on HN a couple of years ago where somebody posted a particular old X.25 NUA (ending in "..0177") that brought back a flood of memories. There was quite a thrill in "exploring" back then (wardialing, scanning the X.25 networks, messing with voicemail systems, etc). I never did get into that SCO Unix box that purported to be in a local Taco Bell... >smile<
Oh neat! I'm learning German, and side-by-sides like this are very useful!
For starters, a prerequisite to be a “good guy with a gun”, you need to possess and carry that gun legally, which Gaige did not do. He was a convicted felon, ineligible to possess a gun, much less carry one concealed. However, he was not, and will not be prosecuted for that, almost as if gun control people were not interested in actually controlling illegally possessed guns.
Block is adding a new dimension to Square.
You're not wrong, but I'm getting tired of explaining to cryptobros that possession of a cryptographic private key is not equivalent to legal ownership of property.

Legalism and moralism are independent concepts.
In a country where things like open carry are legal, the "logical conclusion" of your argument makes no sense. That would mean when anyone who owns a gun sees another gun in public, they can conclude that their life is threatened and open fire with no consequences.

This seems to be a bad faith argument, given that Kyle was being physically and brutally attacked when he correctly responded in self-defense. Quite different from your "logical conclusion".
Yes your point is valid. It doesn’t seem that they did find any unusual shorting activity though as is or used to be how they went about it in the old days.
