Can you point to a specific detail supporting this claim? I have read the thread and don’t know what this is based on.

> You responded to my comment by bringing up “anti-gay anti-Black” statements from “Christian extremists.” That’s an absurd comparison.

Not if you’re looking at who’s threatening or committing crimes here in the US. School children aren’t doing active shooter drills because of Muslims, public events aren’t being cancelled because of bomb threats made by Muslims, etc. This is exactly what I’d expect based on demographics, so again my point is simply that I’m not surprised that the FBI is finding more crimes committed by nominal Christians in a majority Christian country.
The vulnerability isn’t that the person who owns the machine can get root. Your user on a personal Mac is, by default, an Administrator, and can just sudo to root.

The “accomplishment” is that somebody who can execute code on your laptop (say, somebody who notices you forgot to lock your laptop at Starbucks, or a malicious app developer, or somebody who compromises the update server for an app you use) can escalate to root.

That time was in Emacs Lisp. And it was very rapid-convenient to be using symbols.

When I moved to Scheme, I liked that it didn't have that particular collision. Though quasiquoting had some collisions unnecessarily (when they already had precedent of using the `#` character to introduce special values).

That has nothing to do with this. Everyone can become root on their mac by typing their password. This exploit shows that you you can compile a bit of code that can then bypass that and run anything it wants with full root permissions.
Interesting, ok, I'll take your point, you clearly have had more exposure to them than I have.
Electoral systems are very difficult to change. The party with enough votes to lead the change isn't going to be interested, because it's the system that put them in that position.

Edit: So we're talking electoral systems, referenda have a big caveat. Usually you vote a goal, but you don't vote how it's going to be implemented. The brexit was sold as a measure against Brussels' regulation and taxes...

CA power and water utilities were abusive before. This not only takes that to a new level, but this move is antithetical to California's entire righteous environmental posture. Not to mention that the utility's excuse is vague, unsubstantiated bullshit.

I don't get it, so it might be just you.
It's hard.

Things that worked for me:

- use the deskop version, not the mobile version.

- remember that you are controlling acceleration, not speed

- use the stars in the background to judge your current speed and location. Then you can turn the ship into the opposite direction to slow down and get back (some) control

- it shows the closest planets/asteroids/etc as small circles near your spaceship. you can use those to find interesting locations.

But even following all of those, I still find it difficult to control as well. The bumping off doesn't make it easier. I always needed several tries to slow down enough so I could read a speech bubble.

There also seems to be some effect where the ship automatically reorients itself with the thrusters towards a planet, I guess to allow for a controlled landing. But in practice, it's usually still so fast when it does this that it will result in steering away from the planet. Still haven't figured out how to counter that very well.
Don't be ridiculous. It would be just as silly to have velocities in both m/s and km/h in a same paragraph. And many, many more people in the world know the conversion factor between those than between mph and fps. It's pretty bold of you to talk about 4% of the world's population as "the rest of us", but unfortunately it's to be expected from a certain type of American.
Lol most posts here are certainly not news.
You don't need to jailbreak a new version of iOS. You can just use the existing jailbroken phone (on an older version of iOS) to install the latest version of the Telegram app, and then verify it.

Yes, eventually you'll be unable to install the latest versions of some apps on your increasingly-older-by-the-day version of iOS, but presumably some recent-enough version of iOS is jailbreakable at all times.

90% or more would be fine as well, who needs proprietary monopiles? What's the benefit? Patterson is advocating for RV, but I'm sure he'd be happy with any set of open archs dominating, which is the point.
I think this can be misunderstood in at least two ways.

My most understanding reading is that you mean Telegram receives the data in plain text at their servers.

That reading implies that they don't do this whole "encrypted data one way, keys another way" thing. (If we know they don't do that I am interested in knowing.)

But a number of people here on HN will read it as "Telegram sends data unencrypted", which is definitely incorrect.
Counterpoint: that’s utter nonsense.

For a random bit of code that's running on your machine? zero day levels of crazy: that should never be possible, and you should update your macos if you haven't yet.

This is not about "you being able to become root", of course you can do that whenever you want, with authentication. This is a random bit of code that compiles to something that goes "cute, let me just get root access without any passwords or user noficiations. Tadah, I can do whatever I want on this system now"

Amazing how in the world of software, 6 years is considered "ancient".

I know the field is a fast moving one, but my goodness. The target architecture is used in the world of embedded hardware where product lifetimes often can be measured in decades (think locomotives, industrial installations, ships, etc.)

For compliance and certification reasons alone you're often stuck with using older software versions. 6 years isn't actually that bad in that context. Keep in mind that many devices, such as ATMs, still use OS/2(!) or Windows 2000(!) as their operating systems, for example.
Having graduated from MIT, I would say that the Great Dome and other buildings surrounding Killian Court are beautiful. I don't particularly care for the modern architecture that makes up the rest of the campus, but I'm also not a connoisseur of architecture.

At least 20 years ago, MIT's greatest strength was its student body and its culture. You got the sense everyone was striving to learn as much as they could, and most students reveled a bit in their nerdiness. In high school, I took classes at a well-regarded state school, and didn't get the same sense of intellectual hunger. IHTFP (simultaneously I Have Truly Found Paradise and I Hate This F'ing place) summed up culture pretty well. You got the sense that you and everyone else had lined up to drink from the fire hose, and were going to struggle through it together, and come out the other side better for it. I have several friends who got grey patches in their hair during undergrad from stress, that went away shortly after graduation and didn't show up again for another 15 or 20 years.

I hope that pressure cooker feeling isn't actually necessary for rigor. I hope MIT has found some way to keep the rigor while being a bit more easy on the mental health of the students. MIT ensured every month had at least one holiday by inserting one fake Monday holiday in each month without a holiday, as a mental health break. I heard the mental health breaks were a result of the high suicide rate in the 1980s. Thankfully, none of my friends committed suicide, but a few friends of friends committed suicide in my time.
I think the real question is "if this is so bad, why does the language allow it". Because asking why people use the language in a way it was designed for has the obvious "because they can, and the language allows them to" as answer.

We learned before Taibbi's scoop that Twitter disallowed sharing of the story including in DMs. Blocking content in DMs was supposedly only used for illicit underage material until that story. Facebook's Zuck outright admitted in plain English that they got contacted by the government (maybe FBI, can't remember) so they buried the story. This is not my opinion or guessing. We know this to be absolute fact.

As somebody who likes it I think I would explain it along the lines of FreeBSD vs Linux.

AIX is a complete package OS with some nice enterprise features, and it is modern and similar enough to make porting from Linux not too terribly difficult. Even something like RHEL is still very much more in the Linux tradition of lots of pieces of independently developed software kinda thrown together and called an OS, at times haphazardly.

That being said, we of course run RHEL as well, but mostly for cost reasons for less important applications, as opposed to any particular dislike for AIX.

USS on zOS is a much more difficult IBM UNIX to work with in my opinion, and tends to generate stronger opinions from both sides of the proprietary/OSS fence. They are making progress, but the compiler and compatibility situation is not as good as POWER/AIX.
My experience matches with the GP. In my ~20-year professional life, I can't recall even one instance when I'd read a promotion announcement and saw that one of the person's accomplishments was that they prevented something bad from happening. Sure, it's possible I'm forgetting, but such a thing seems odd enough to me that it feels like something I'd notice and remember. I expect most people will have a similar experience.

It's also possible that people are getting praise for these sorts of "negative accomplishments" in private, or on performance reviews. Which is better than nothing, but I think it's still valuable and healthy to remind people that part of the job isn't just building stuff, it's also making sure the right things get built. And public praise for killing bad things is a good way to do that.

Not only that, but executable images are demand-paged anyway. You can link 1 GB of static library code if you like; you won't pay the penalty unless and until those functions are actually called.

The whole debate is just stupid. If it inconveniences even one fewer user, then static linking is the way to go, because of the sheer number of drawbacks that shared libraries bring. Nobody cares how big the executable is. If you do, well... the best time to stop caring was 10 years ago, and the second best time is now.
Well, if you are going to try to build affordable housing quickly, such large projects are the way to go. At least in the sixties and seventies city planners in the "western world" tried to do it (with more or less success), today they're not even trying anymore.

A more successful example is the former Munich Olympic Village (https://goo.gl/maps/1HTQWvGcRcoXAWvH6). It's composed of 3 streets which are completely built over, so the cars at ground level are hidden from view and the pedestrians are walking in a completely pedestrian area at level 2 (I think). The buildings are also very linear and all look the same, but all apartments have huge south-facing terraces with lots of greenery (including shrubs or even trees). Public transport connection is also very good with a subway station nearby. Today the apartments are very sought after - wish they had built more projects like this. But if you look at more recent projects, like the "Messestadt Riem" (https://goo.gl/maps/tVrahc4uDFkijGCC9), they are much more cramped and spread out over a larger surface, with squat buildings that look very interchangeable - not really better, I'm afraid.

Can the same be done to blurred text?
Here are some of my observations I recommend watching the video

1. The researchers state the study isn’t causal but is a correlation. Correlation on data they do not make public
2. Many Canadians were not allowed to take mass transit (planes, trains, and buses) due to vax requirement so theoretically more unvaxed drove
3. Many vaxxed people worked from home as compared to unvaxxed
4. They do not provide any access to their data – based on 11 M people in one month?
5. They class people unvaxxed for 14 days after vax yet the study only lasted one month so if out of the 6-7000 supposed accidents if you had only 600 – 700 that were under this 14 day period as unvaxed when in fact they were vaxxed the outcome would be different
6. Deaths at the accident scene were excluded - 84% of the deaths were excluded from the study so if the person had myocarditis and dies from heart failure and this is the cause of the accident - this possibility was not investigated.
7. The study states people that have a distrust in govt are more likely to have an accident, as well as belief in freedom might be a factor based on these factors (according to the study) equals less likely to be jabbed and therefore more likely to crash
8. Political identity, socioeconomic status, if one believes in “Natural protection” --- all factors which will lead to these types of people to have higher accident rates ---- really!!!!!
9. “Those who had not received a vaccine also were more likely to have a diagnosis of alcohol misuse or depression and less likely to have a diagnosis of sleep apnea, diabetes, cancer, or dementia.” Based on what data??????????? And therefore these people have more accidents?????

To be clear, the only physical restraining I do is "Mommy needs to go to work now so Daddy is going to pick you up so you don't try to chase her down the stairs". She knows she can't walk down the stairs on her own but sometimes forgets when she gets excited.
I'd like to suggest you take a look at almost everything done in power by George W. Bush, Donald Trump, François Holland, Paul von Hindenburg, Silvio Berlusconi, Brian Cowen, Jair Bolsonaro... the list could go on... and compare and contrast and then ask if this is subjectively a phenomenon truly unique to the UK.

Bad leadership of the type you describe has shown itself in every country in the World at some point.

the Kamikwasi budget was the end goal of a section of the Tory party who had been planning every single part of it for well over a decade in think tanks, dinner parties and meeting rooms across London and party conferences. Truss told everyone in the party what she was planning to do as part of her campaign for leader. They voted for it because they believed it was the right thing to do for the country. She and her chancellor then went ahead with executing it, and the markets told them to get it in the bin, pronto.

To paint it as a uniquely insane thing to do based on the class system playing out is an odd thing to do to me. It was a political ideology that was planned, plotted, wargamed and ultimately voted for.

It all points to a need for the UK to be rid of the Tories for a generation or two, but I can't see the relationship to a unique and rabid myopic stupidity evident in it that you seem to.
"arm twisting" doesn't mean flat out forcing but strongly recommending with the idea that it may go further if their recommendation isn't followed. The laptop story being suppressed is now fact and admitted by both Twitter and Facebook and months before these Taibbi stories.
I’ve worked for a hardware startup. We didn’t have the budget for a thermal chamber, but that doesn’t mean we didn’t test and anticipate temperature related issues. We had plenty of setups like the one in the blog with units in the fridge or on a car dashboard on a summer day.

The difference is we did it before the units reached customers.

AI hijacking is ridiculously fun
Estimating how many customers Rackspace's ransomware incident cost them
Not an expert, only checked a few threads shortly before its very end. From what i can tell...

- gossip magazines usually target "public figures". many jurisdictions have relaxed privacy rules around those. KF targeted whom they found... "interesting"

- haven't really read gossip magazines, but i assume they have a higher bar. for example, did any of those print the hunter biden dick pics requested to be deleted in the "twitter files"? cause you could be sure of them to have been on KF, if they had thread on him

- "publicly available info" is stretching it quite a bit. In the case of @elonjet, we that is info required by law/court to be public. KF, on the other side, is more like "stuff that was ever published somewhere" (as opposed to getting new stuff), so again your nudes are fair game for them, no matter any distribution rights
Capitalism. It's even in the name of the ideology.
So, let's say that someone (like a user of Twitter, or a writer for the Babylon Bee) points out that Rachel Levine, a public figure, is a man.

How does that actually harm him?

He's in an incredibly privileged position, and indeed has enjoyed male privilege for pretty much all of his life.

Should we avoid saying any truth that might slightly upset a public figure, or anyone really, just in case they feel a bit sad if they happen to hear it?
I don't think that's what he meant.

It sounded more like he meant that he is seeing their organization be inefficient at working on the right things and making progress towards VR.

And as a person who cares deeply about efficiency of resources, that pains him to see so much human resources (in this case) being wasted when they could accomplish so much more so much quicker (in his opinion) with better focus and direction.

And he likened it to the same feeling he'd have if he saw a game making use of only 5% of the available GPU, which would be that feeling of all that wasted potential.
