FINDINGS

Complainant [Red Hat] has failed to establish all the elements entitling it to relief and has brought the Complaint primarily to harass the domain-name holder [Daniel, who owns wemakefedora.org].

...

Panel concludes that relief shall be DENIED and declares that the Complaint was brought in bad faith and constitutes an abuse of the administrative proceeding.

Accordingly, it is Ordered that the <wemakefedora.org> domain name REMAIN WITH Respondent.
This is a completely spurious conclusion, implying red state policies reduce life expectancy.

When people are free to cross state lines, and when the poor are being pushed out of blue states into red states:

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/democrats-most-alarming-probl...

that conclusion absolutely cannot be made based just on a simple correlation.

The paper closes with:

>>Although state governments have the right to set their own path and policies, the public should decide whether life expectancy should be part of the experiment.

Even assuming the causative associations claimed exist, this is a case of optimizing for a single metric, and ignoring all others. What if higher life expectancy is being attained at the expense of other, important metrics? An example of one such metric is fertility, with red states having higher fertility rates than blue states:

But the author, without even considering or contending with these points, is already clamoring to end state sovereignty and homogenize policy across the US.
Intent matters. The maintainer very clearly intended to do harm. They abused end user trust which is a common attack vector for many pieces of malware.
"The crucial question is “whether the ‘work’ is basically one of human authorship, with the computer [or other device] merely being an assisting instrument,"

It's like the anthropic principle in physics IMO in that it can be taken either descriptively or prescriptively, and while the former is almost trivial in what it describes, the latter invariably ends up leading to significant consequences far beyond the initial description.

Okay, here's the Linux syscalls(2) man page: https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/syscalls.2.html

The second sentence is:

> System calls are generally not invoked directly, but rather via wrapper functions in glibc (or perhaps some other library).

Okay, so we can't avoid C that way, but what's the "invoked directly" way? Well, it's syscall(2): https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/syscall.2.html

This man page actually reiterates what the other one, that you shouldn't be making syscalls directly! But in any case, what is `syscall()`?

...it's a C macro.

So yeah, Linux does require programs to use C. You've just been isolated from it.
There are already some places with 30 or even 45 minute offsets from UTC; they seem to manage alright. Though I generally agree that it isn't necessary to divide the time zones that finely. Local noon should always be within about 45 minutes of solar noon, but you can do that just fine while rounding to the nearest hour. (Thirty minutes would be enough if we ignored political boundaries, but a 15-minute margin allows you to avoid splitting cities into multiple zones.)
Even ignoring that most software jobs understand that a small amount of time just noodling away on tech stuff is to be expected as part of the job, exploring a competitor's public APIs seems very closely aligned with many programmer's priorities.
Those who sit on the Open Source side of things constantly muddy the waters and claim they are one in the same. Those who sit on the Free Software side of things are adamant that they are related but different.

https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point....

The important bit is here:

> “Free” and “open” are rivals for mindshare. Free software and open source are different ideas but, in most people's way of looking at software, they compete for the same conceptual slot. When people become habituated to saying and thinking “open source,” that is an obstacle to their grasping the free software movement's philosophy and thinking about it.

In a world without nukes, we would've been all about precision targeted ICBM munitions. In a war they would've been used to hit government centers, military bases, staging and supply areas, oil refineries and wells etc.

It's an infinite range weapon which arrives in 20 minutes to kill a target your spy satellites see. They would be used all the time.
> unless they design an algorithm explicitly to reduce engagement by giving you stuff you don't like.

I don't think they need to go that far. The algorithms could be optimized for long-term personal growth. Always pushing you to expand your boundaries in healthy ways. That kind of growth is usually mildly uncomfortable but rewarding. You'll only want so much of it per day. They'd be replacing endless cheap carbs with exercise.
Open Source Software promulgated by GitHub is made commonly available in the form of actual source code.

If this code does not suit your needs, change it such that it does. We're all engineers/developers/coders/hackers with Top Notch Skills right?

Make a fix thats well thought out and well integrated, commit, pull request and hope the maintainer finds value in integrating your code into the next release.

Should you come across a maintainer that doesn't share your view of the issue and depending on licensing constraints simply maintain the code you were given for free on your own.

Do you have a legal background? I don't; what I know about defamation law I mostly get from religiously following Ken White. This doesn't sound like an especially plausible case of defamation.

I actually agree with you in general.

> "Don't believe the evidence in front of you! 'Think for yourself' and 'Make up your own reality!'"

I never said this. Evidence is very important. Notably Mick West offered no new "evidence", only supposition. Supposition in direct contradiction to known facts of the case (eg, other sensors, pilot reports, visual confirmations, etc).

I never claimed to know the answer. But I do claim that Mick West is generating faulty conclusions derived from bad assumptions. So in this case you could make a compelling argument that Mick West is the conspiracy theorist. So we go around and around debunking the debunker who debunked the debunker.

It's all a waste of oxygen.
Ringo Starr said to a journalist in the early days that he just wanted to make a few bob and open a hair salon.
Yeah, if you look at the post history of the people posting there you will see a lot of posts about meth. Or maybe their mental health is what led them to meth in the first place, because you'd think the meth induced psychosis would wane off over time. But for most of them the delusions keep getting stronger and it can last for year. It's really heartbreaking and the entire paranoid concept of gangstalking makes helping them very very difficult
This is the sad thing about all of this. Many people are demonizing average Russian citizens for the actions of their government.

When the US invaded Iraq in 2003, I was very much against it, but felt powerless to change the course of my government. (And the US government kept on doing what it felt like, no matter how unjust its actions.) While I was ashamed of my country's actions, I didn't think it would be fair for people in other countries to punish me personally for them.

And this is in the US, a supposed liberal democracy! What chance does your average Russian citizen have of getting a dictator like Putin to change his mind here?
It was IronWolf Pro. I guess it's a business drive, but not an enterprise drive.

And promotion and bonuses! This is the major impetus for these efforts.
It runs on all hardware because hardware manufacturers support it, which they essentially must do because that's what's expected. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy (and arguably a vicious cycle).
Poking around is exactly how you determine how severe the vulnerability is.

Simple data extraction is hardly a outside the what a white hat hacker should do. If there's an API endpoint that returns say, `user.name`, it's reasonable to try other things like `user.email` or `user.credit-card` to see what else could be do BEFORE reporting it.

It might be totally valid to return `user.name` where `name` is simply the first name. But you'd never know unless you actually tried a few more endpoints.

Couldn't agree more. A good GUI beats a TUI any day. They have the potential to be far more intuitive as well as more aesthetically appealing. Not to mention that for some of us, a GUI gives far greater confidence than a TUI.

For example, I prefer to do package management from the command line, but if I'm editing partitions, I feel the urge to use a GUI like Disk Utility or gparted. For this task, GUIs feel safer for a few reasons. I feel like I can better visualize the changes being made to the drive, and it seems like there are more speed bumps to prevent dumb mistakes.

I do think GUIs can learn a few tricks from TUIs. TUIs are often more responsive and usually provide better keyboard driven workflows.

Ultimately my preference for GUIs probably reflects what I'm used to. To paraphrase Jef Raskin, there are no intuitive UIs, only familiar ones.
If they didn't do anything with the information, as seems likely (why assume otherwise, people? we're not detectives!) then no, it's unlikely to result in substantial prison time. The thing to watch out for in these benign cases is doing things that trigger substantial forensic investigations, which easily run into 6 figures. If you don't cause that kind of damage, and you don't in any way attempt to profit from the activity, then there isn't actually much in CFAA that will drive sentences up.

(I'm not a lawyer, but for obvious career reasons I nerd way the hell out on CFAA stuff).

Submarine launched ICBMs probably wouldn't be valuable without nuclear weapons though: they're valuable because they're a guaranteed second-strike capability to a nuclear first strike - you might plausibly get the land and air launchers, but there's no way to be sure you got all the subs and you only have to miss 1 (i.e. no country would survive losing 28 major cities).

Without nuclear weapons, they're kind of pointless - you don't inflict enough damage to warrant the expense. But the first strike is also so much more survivable.
Who you using for DNS? Archive don’t like cloudflare and their name servers will often return an invalid reply or an address on the other side of the world.
I'd say, almost none of it, and just as likely to be something that isnt recognized as art today.

Even the greats came within a whisker of obscurity, eg Bach was all but forgotten for a hundred years until Mendelssohn fought for his music to be unearthed and performed.

And to my second point, museums are full of ephemera that was disregarded in its lifetime but now tells us what we think is a lot about the time then. Roman trash and Victorian hairbrushes. What survives might not and hqve never been labelled "art"

And then you have the massive problem of digital rot. i can barely read my CDs from 20 years ago. Now we don't own our digital assets so much as pay for them to stay alive in an S3 bucket. When we pass, and stop paying, they will disappear. Like tears in the rain.
If you are not making money from security you shouldn’t mess around with it at all. Too much downside and too little upside. Let the criminals ransomware the hospitals until society grows up and learns that they need security research.

We seem to have read different articles. Is Spain not part of western culture? Not that the author seems to be speaking for his wife as having gotten advantages from this, or claiming she came from a disadvantaged background, but that he himself feels like he benefited from struggling through the initial language issues. (The adopted daughter came from outside Western culture, but he doesn't so much attribute her current thriving to being brought to the US as much as to going through three different in-US highschools and then going to college in Spain.) And there's a pretty straightforward plausible cause->effect there: if you're on equal economic and opportunity-having footing otherwise, initially coming in as an outsider starts you off ahead in terms of eventually being able to see things from multiple perspectives.

I do think the article suffers from not acknowledging the active difficulties suffered by many forced outsiders in particular - vs his moving to another western-culture-country where there was a language barrier but not, say, a history of lynching people like him - but that's different from what you see him doing. I think he has a blind spot between the difference between his "outsider" experiences and a true "disadvantaged" experience, I don't think he's putting words in the mouth of the disadvantaged as so much as glossing over them and ignoring them. (I.e., he's a conservative pundit. :| )
Redrawing a TUI from scratch is usually trivial. Certainly far simpler than your average GUI.

Most software development doesn't fulfill any of those criteria, and merely contributes to the engine of capitalism. After graduating myself, sticking to my conception of what purposeful work meant, meant I sacrificed too much of myself for no good reason. Therefore, I'd just do something for the sake of it, and maybe it works out or maybe it doesn't, but you'll eventually find that what you spend most of your time doing has a negligible effect on improving the world in remotely as meaningful a way as you'd hope to.

This is hacker news, where people either work on esoteric projects for the sake of intellectual curiosity alone, or they make a shit ton of money and reason backwards from that into how much they contribute to society so they don't feel bad walking past the person shitting on the street outside their $5k/month apartment. Or you're in the third or fourth camp, where you're a fresh grad with hopes, or someone who makes a modest amount of money that they doesn't really change their class in much of a meaningful way

[IANACPA] without 83b election the $1M gain on stock options on the moment of exercise goes into regular income while the $1M loss would go into capital loss. The limit on loss offset to the income is $3K/year. So in the first year there would be $997K of regular income to pay taxes from and $997K carry over loss. Without any other capital gains to use the loss against, it would take another 333 years to write that loss down.
It's far less complexity, even still, and it has not changed much for decades. A TUI program working today will likely continue to work for decades more. If you don't care about glitz and just want to write something useful, that's a substantial draw.

It's not debunked, you're playing with stats.

The claim is that investors are buying nearly 20 percent of housing. Your refutal is that they only own 1%.

Both can be, and are, true.

"A record 18.2 percent of all home purchases were made by investors during the third quarter of 2021, according to a new report by Redfin. That was up from 16.1 percent during the second quarter of 2021 and up 11.2 percent from the third quarter of 2020."

I have lived in a country different to the one I was born in for many years now, and It seems to me that the experience of acculturation is a very individual one. How much a person seeks to integrate into a new society is a function of how much the valued integration before they moved there. There are some people who have the chance to integrate with a mini diaspora community, and so not feel like an outsider. There are some 'middle class' people who want to recreate the comforts and social position they expected for themselves. There are people who were always outsiders who are fine to stay that way.

Being an outsider helps you see through some of the self-deceit that goes unexamined in a society, and it gives you an opportunity to reflect on your own blind spots. It also gave me the opportunity to spend a lot of time in the wilderness and develop a real connection and understanding of the land I was living in. Maybe far more so than people who have lived there for generations, but are caught up in the Human world, for who the landscape is just a destination/backdrop/resource.

> If you're good at higher level competencies but don't have much experience, too bad, you're a dumb junior.

Yeah, and hopefully not even a junior (e.g., not hired at all).

I don't mean to be overly glib, but I don't really have much interest in working with a software engineer who is "awesome at finding the right problems to solve" but can't actually do any of the work to solve them. Most of the staff and principal folks I have worked with in the past are great developers, if maybe a bit rusty sometimes depending on the exact role/company. It's an important skillset to have and if all you can do is lay out high-level technical designs, you're at best 25-30% of the way toward one job.

You're right, I'm not a mind reader, I don't know if "discomfort" is the right word; my original comment was snark, meant to draw attention to the moral divergence between his examples.

But honestly: the stuff about "racial insensitivity" and the words "divisive" and "inappropriate" DO get somewhere in the ballpark of "uncomfortable". I'm trying for a neutral word to capture it. None of this is anything like the historical examples—totalitarianism, religious persecution—that inflate his abstract case. These are still problems today on a scale that dwarfs "cancel culture" and "self-censorship".

He gives historical examples. Instead of giving contemporary examples, though, he hand-waves in a way that absolutely will make one side nod vigorously with their priors. Its BS. Tech executives keep getting treated like moral philosophers because they wink and say "why not phrenology?" in order to pose as victims. Galileo was oppressed by religious conservatives engaging in a moral panic. That's happening now, too.
