It seems like my first sentence didn't have the desired effect: "Here I'm going to put aside the issue of what the FBI can (or "wants" to) regulate." My hope was to make clear what my comment was about, in the hopes of directing conversation towards why social media companies hire former FBI employees.
This is all just one giant opportunity for a company that actually wants to cater to what customers want.
If you read the very next sentence after your first quote, you will find:

"The Justice Department allowed the agency to monitor only addresses and “cybersignatures” — patterns associated with computer intrusions — that it could tie to foreign governments."

This is surveiling foreign governments' data in the US only when they are hacking Americans. It is a mighty stretch to call this domestic surveillance when the surveilled are very specifically foreign governments (foreign non-governmental hackers are not included).

> "a total of 17 government agencies will have access to Americans' data without requiring a warrant"

If you actually read the rest of the article, they are required to filter out data of Americans anywhere and data of anybody in the US without a warrant, just like the NSA is required to. There is no expansion of domestic surveillance. The only change is that these other agencies get direct access to the taps, but they are subject to the same laws as the NSA.

> Except for the whole constant gathering of new types of data from an increasing (one could say "expanding") number of sources since Obama came into office...

Every single one of those sources was only allowed to provide data on foreigners living outside the US. This is explicitly not domestic surveillance.

> I've so read/seen several interviews and talks with Snowden, and even read his book. He seems pretty okay with what Greenwald came away with.

Snowden very clearly didn't understand PRISM when he leaked it. According to Gellman, Snowden seemed most intent on exposing PRISM, asking Gellman for a guarantee that all the PRISM slides would be published within 72 hours, believing it to be a domestic surveillance program. It wasn't. A well-intentioned dummy can make rash decisions and end up becoming a Russian stooge. Snowden is the poster-child for the Be Cool, Stay In School program.

UX is probably one of the biggest stumbling blocks for two reasons:

Open source software historically treats users as an afterthought (or worse makes really terrible attempts at courting them like GIMP).

Different CAD suites use different terms and have radically different interfaces. There's a lot of (un)learning to do. Go fillet something in Fusion then try to do the same in FreeCAD. Not only is the interface ever so slightly different than Fusion, you have to navigate a minefield of bugs and limitations in FreeCAD. Yikes.

But by comparing Autodesk (presumably Fusion and not e.g. Buzzsaw or Maya) to OpenSCAD you're making an apples-to-oranges comparison. OpenSCAD is a thin wrapper around a CAD programming language, it's an entirely different than something like SolidWorks or Fusion.

"Intel's System Management Mode by Robert R. Collins" Dr. Dobbs Journal, Jan 1997 (apparently):

http://www.rcollins.org/ddj/Jan97/Jan97.html

>"When comparing ICE mode to System Management Mode,

you could easily conclude that SMM was derived from ICE mode because their similarities are striking.

Certainly, they have more similarities than differences. In reality, SMM appears to be both a subset and a superset of ICE mode. For the purposes of this comparison, I'll contrast 80386 ICE mode with Pentium SMM. Consider the following similarities:

o Both modes use a microprocessor input pin to trigger invocation. On the 80386 DX, this undocumented pin is located at position B6. On SL-enhanced Intel microprocessors, this pin is named SMI#.

o Both modes use a microprocessor output pin to indicate when in ICE or SMM mode. On the 80386 DX, this undocumented pin is located at position C7. On SL-enhanced Intel microprocessors, this pin is named SMIACT#.

o Both modes may be entered from any processor mode at any time by asserting the applicable input pin.

o Both modes have the ability to resume to any processor mode and to any CPL upon completion.

o Both modes save the entire microprocessor state to a state-save map upon entrance.

o The state-save map area is in a protected memory space, isolated from user memory.

o Both modes restore the entire microprocessor state from the state-save map. Neither LOADALL nor the SMM- equivalent RSM instruction sanity check the data in the state save map upon resumption. On the 386 or 486, LOADALL doesn't validate any of the microprocessor state from the state-save data. Therefore it is possible to use LOADALL to perform microprocessor tricks that would otherwise be illegal. For example, you could enable paging, yet remain in real mode. SMM uses the RSM instruction to restore the microprocessor state. RSM does perform some minor sanity checks (like the real-mode paging check), but otherwise does little. Using either instruction, it is possible to change the access rights of segment descriptors to illegal values - like making the code segment writable in protected mode or setting the GDT access rights (which in theory don't exist) to Not-Present.

o The ICE-mode LOADALL instruction on the 486 and the RSM instruction on all SL-enhanced microprocessors are disabled when operating outside of their respective operating modes. Both instructions generate an invalid opcode exception when executed outside of ICE mode and SMM, respectively.

o The order in which the microprocessor state information is written is exactly the same, but the direction is different. ICE mode writes data from bottom to top, and SMM writes data from top to bottom (like a stack).

o Both modes begin execution in real mode, with all segments as read/writable and having 4-GB limits.

o Both modes begin execution of a special handler after the microprocessor state is saved.

o The most compelling similarity of all is the state-save map. When viewed side-by-side, the state save map of ICE mode and SMM look virtually identical.

Figure 2 (http://www.rcollins.org/ddj/Jan97/Jan97.html#Fig2) compares the two state-save maps."

If the robot has the ability to fly or move, then perhaps just hop (up or over) out of arm's reach when someone comes too close?

Real-time audio and video might be very bandwidth (and therefore battery) intensive to transmit over a cellular connection. Instead, it might be more efficient to include a heartbeat signal that transmits the last GPS coordinates, and maybe a static image transmitted every second. When you stop receiving the heartbeat, that indicates that the robot's battery died or it is in trouble.
Perfect! I need more for my baseplates.
His odds of being able to legally run are 25% at best, and even if it got the go-ahead from the party, he could easily decide to back out if he didn't feel the odds were good enough. And the odds of actually getting elected if he did run can't be more than 45% surely, so I'd say at best there's a 10% chance Trump will ever be president again. Sadly there's a much higher chance someone even worse might be one day, even only looking ahead another 2 or 3 elections.
In addition to React/Vue, you have the ability to use Rust client-side frameworks such as Yew[0] or seed[1] for a truly full-stack Rust experience. I've been using Tauri + Yew to build an cross-platform app (shameless plug: [2]) and it's been a pleasure. There are some rough edges, but most of those have been due to platform specific issues (notifications, Windows vs Unix paths, etc.) and not Tauri/Yew itself.

I'm pretty sure I found that seminal paper, "Build Systems a la Carte", via HN, but indeed can't find a highly-commented story on the topic. Perhaps the most upvoted story was this one about a blog post from one of the authors (itself very interesting): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17494016

It is a very important paper, I think, mapping out the landscape of build systems designs. But I'm still waiting for something novel to emerge from it. I know the authors planned on integrating the improvements they found into (Cloud) Shake, but I don't know if that's production-ready.

Perhaps Bazel is the best we can hope for at this time.

> The FBI enforce laws, not write them.

Technically correct but in practice the FBI does actually write and repeal laws in 2 incredibly important ways that I constantly see people forget about.

First every law enforcement body in this country has to prioritize which laws it wants to enforce, to many laws on the books to do otherwise. By prioritizing some crimes over others, they change the nature of the law itself, at least insofar as it impacts the lives of regular people. A law is not a really a law if its not enforced (just like a right is not really a right if it does not protect you in practice).

Second, and even more directly, the FBI in particular has a massive political influence in congress over which bills are written and which bills die and which bills get passed. Its difficult to overstate how powerful the law enforcement lobby is in this country, and a big part of that big tent is the FBI.
