Part of the reason for the impasse is that there is no explicit Constitutional right to privacy in the US (other than that provided by the 4th amendment, which has arguably been hollowed out in its own right). But the first amendment does confer protection for publication of information, notwithstanding that it may be published for sale to other businesses and abused for everything from irritating robocalls to complete surveillance.

So that makes legislation a steep hill to climb, as interested parties are likely to immediately challenge the constitutionality of anything that makes it through the (often dysfunctional) legislative process. There's also the less formal reality that business is culturally privileged in the US, and the trope of busybody lawmakers interfering with honest business people who are creating jobs and prosperity is easy to market.

I do wish he didn't skip over the commerical products he used (the roofing and the cinderblocks under the house). Even if it kills the Walden aesthetic, it would have been nice to see how he did it.
Oh I know that one.

It’s because they have slightly different models names for differ markets, and they figured out that using their internal code names was easier than paying someone to come up with easy, memorable names. So the model sold in Delaware is the UX-7200-D, and the one sold in The Netherlands is exactly the same item with a different power cord and instruction booklet. But it’s called NT-376xd because the Netherlands branch is actually a different company that was bought 2 years ago and they are still using their old system which has different codes for products.
The key difference is the balance of power. If I renege on a commitment to join Meta, they’ll barely notice. The converse is potentially devastating.
Thanks for sharing. This seems totally fine, if not more than acceptable? How much does this cost?

Hey guys, I'm the one who wrote the post and the Ghidra plugin. Really delighted to see it get so much traction here! I just merged a couple of PRs which should improve the tool somewhat -- one from eShuttleworth, which uses GPT-3's feedback to automatically rename the function and global variables, and another from me, which does the same for what Ghidra internally refers to as HighVariables (variables visible in the decompiled code listing, as opposed to just the assembly listing). Turns out these two things only look like similar operations from the perspective of the GUI.

Here's the public github repo: <https://github.com/tenable/ghidra_tools> Please feel free to fork it and send me PRs with any features or fixes you think might be useful.

The intensity of desire for retribution depends on the cultural context. In any case, you're conflating retribution with the death penalty, but these are not synonymous. Imprisonment is a form of retribution too, as are fines, caning, etc. Any punishment that is unpleasant has an element of retribution.

D&D isn't anymore polished than Runequest or Warhammer in the commercial space, or a ton of Creative Common RPG. D&D is just more popular. This isn't polish, this is "corporate".
I'm fairly sure the answer is no.

Lactobacillus.

> It is helpful if you can selectively switch on verbose logging by user or by API endpoint.

We currently use two log levels:

- When 'debug = true', debug logs are printed immediately (like a DEBUG log level)

- When 'debug = false', debug logs go into a buffer: if the request-handler succeeds, its debug buffer gets discarded. If it catches an exception, the buffer gets printed.

This avoids the main problem of log levels, which is having to guess up-front which level we might want (and inevitably get it wrong, and have to try re-creating a problem with more verbose logging!)

That's totally fair! I'm glad you enjoyed it. At its core, Magic is a great game and I really do wish for its success. I just think WotC is compromising the long-term health of the game in the name of short-term profits (which is not unusual in big companies).

> People always complain about "greedy" corporations but guess what? Greedy corporations make the books, movies, video games, board games that you play.

I will push back here a bit - I play a lot of videogames from small-medium size indie studios (I play relatively few AAA videogames anymore) specifically for their perceived lack of greed. Sure, anyone selling a game wants it to be profitable and fund future games, but indies aren't doing so by selling "Gold Editions" of their $70 game that exist purely to squeeze money out of players. Indie devs make a game and hope to be lucky enough that it gets enough press (and good reviews) to bring in revenue.

Yeah, and can I just buy that from the cell phone company without being a law enforcement agency in possession of a legally valid search warrant? If I give you my phone number, how will you find my current location?

It also seems a bit dubious to call this a "leak," since it seems unavoidable - how would the tower send data to my phone if it didn't know where I was?
Balance does not imply truth. Sometimes truthful views are imbalanced because the truth is imbalanced.
France, also. You could maybe argue that the ESA rockets are more successors to the French programme than the British, but that's pretty tenuous; they were direct successors to neither.

(There was an attempt at the slightly ridiculous Europa rocket, which used stages from the French and British programmes, plus a German stage, but it never really worked properly).

The Traveller SRD is (c) Mongoose Publishing. It seems implausible that the OGL 1.0a could be construed to give Hasbro any control over intellectual property that isn't derived from their own. It should be possible for the rights owners to simply relicense Traveller, Fudge, etc. It's Paizo that is in a difficult spot, because their SRD still explicitly references material from Hasbro products.
This takes decades. The plume was largely concentrated over a few dozen km and couple hundred m deep when it hit california five years later. And actually significant spill would be orders of magnitude worse.

“First I would like to say I have been here since September 2005. I had the honor and privilege to know many prison guards and staff. I want to thank all of them. I would like for everyone to write the people on death row as they are all good men and I am very happy I got to know them. All of their lives are worth knowing about.

Secondly on February 14th the medical examiner and the chief nurse were engaged in numerous false illegal acts. They tried to cover up that thousands were wrongfully convicted by Matt Powell, district attorney. This needs to be brought to justice.

I call upon the FBI to investigate Matt Powell and the Lubbock County Medical Examiner. Lastly, I was born and raised Catholic and it was not lost upon me that this is Holy Week and last Sunday was Palm Sunday. Yesterday was my birthday. Today is the day I join my God and father. The state may have my body but not my soul.

In order to save my brothers on death row I call upon Pope Francis and all the people of the world.

Lastly, I want everyone to boycott every single business in the state of Texas until all the businesses are pressed to stop the death penalty.

With that Lord I commend my spirit.

Umm, we deserve high quality open source projects. I'm not complaining about the existing ones, just pointing out the opportunity.
> If facebook makes you an offer and then pulls back can you sue?

Generally, an offer that has not yet been accepted does not create a contract, so probably not.

If it has been accepted, maybe, though in an at-will employment jurisdiction, probably not for the loss of employment, but maybe for reliance damages in some cases.
And all cell phone providers sell this data regularly, cheaply, and to law enforcement without a warrant.
I moved from a village in Cheshire where I had 500Mb/500Mb to London Zone 3 where the best I could get was 3Mb/0.2Mb, then I bought a new build in Zone 6 where I could get 1.2Gb/1.2Gb, now I moved to Liverpool into a 1930s house where I can get 1.2Gb/100Mb (FttP) which isn't great uoload (I work remote), but is because it's GPON.

I got a letter through the door a week or two ago saying they're building out 10Gb/10Gb on my road over the next few years, so I've got a bit of time to start upgrading my kit to handle 10Gb symmetric, which I'm hoping will push the price down of the sub-10Gb speeds, because let's he honest, I don't need 10/10.
I think that's my point. I like the idea of it but most times I'm not even comfortable with agreeing the person is guilty to begin with. In certain cases, say Jeffrey Dahmer, it's pretty clear cut and I see no use to delay the punishment.
It doesn't feel like you're trying to have a good faith discussion. There's no point in my restating what the linked article says nor multiple of the other sources provided all throughout this thread.
And then there’s this guy:

“I hereby declare, Robert Steven Everett and Nicholas Velasquez, guilty of crimes against me, Douglas Alan Feldman. Either by fact or by proxy, I find them both guilty. I hereby sentence both of them to death, which I carried out in August 1998. As of that time, the State of Texas has been holding me illegally in confinement and by force for 15 years. I hereby protest my pending execution and demand immediate relief.”
Backpressure is required in order for a distributed system to continue to run successfully. Half the time the people who think they need a new feature just want to be unique.

The critical observation is that these people won't always be around or have this deployment plan fresh in their minds. You need most of your deployments to follow the same kinds of rules, so that when you look at a misbehaving service that you haven't had to deal with in ages, you can figure out what's going on and why it's wedged. Every new thing it can do is tribal knowledge that's not captured anywhere. It might have already walked out the door in fact.
Good thing we ruled out local hidden variables. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_test
You do realize there's a difference between the state killing as a punishment and an individual killing for sport, right? These are two different categories. To wit, it's obvious I was referring to the latter.

There's actually more categories as well: killing in a war as a combatant, euthanasia, abortion, and so on.
Not a lawyer. It's likely fraud. (Doesn't matter because the story is fictional anyway)
What threats do you imagine this poses? I'm not particularly concerned with immigration legal or otherwise, but a census of who lives in the US and whereabouts they are is pretty fundamental to having a functioning government. The creators of the US seemed to think so as it's one of the functions they outlined in the constitution.

What's interesting is that the article doesn't know how the government obtained the data in question. I don't know either, but I wonder, did they buy it from a private broker like anyone else could?
I strongly disagree. The professor said that she was about to show the picture and people who didn't like it had the option to not look at it. It was a planned, extremely deliberate aggression from the student to make a point about her intolerant, hateful interpretation of Islam. By going in a US University she knew that she would be exposed to ideas that will challenge her backwards beliefs.

I think intolerant religion must not be tolerated in an open society. I think that a society has absolutely no obligation to try to be amenable and welcoming to any ideology. When I travel in a Muslim country, I don't go around at noon during Ramadan eating ham sandwiches and drinking beer. That student is doing exactly that. She's literally spitting in the face of the country that hosts and educates her.

Yes, the professor may have tried to teach her students about the complexity of the world. That's the very definition of her job, after all!

The next step for a person like this student ends in a Samuel Paty or Charlie Hebdo. My advice is to deport her back to her miserable, war-torn, fascistic backward country she shouldn't have left.

Tolerance is great, but must be with at least a modicum of reciprocation. As Paul Claudel said "Tolerance? There are houses for that."
From the article you link: "Comcast told Ars that faster upload speeds will come to customer-owned modems "later next year" but did not provide a more specific timeline."

So, no. Do not rent their modem/router crap.
Wait until I tell you how anyone can buy cell phone data... I really dislike the "conservative group" in the title there. Particularly, as everyone's buying / collecting the data.

For years, there are companies that sell your GPS coordinates. Search "2000 mules" they (group interested in proving the 2020 election was "stolen") used GPS coordinates combined with video to find who were "mules" collecting ballots and dropping them off ballots in multiple drop boxes (legal in many states btw).

Those same "mules" likely work for NGOs who buy GPS coordinates, web history / social media data / voter records to see areas who haven't visited a drop box, so they know tho to visit.

Everyone's buying the data. Everything is tracking you if it can.

For the past month I've been seeing some supply of RPi 4 on rpilocator.com almost every day.

Not much, but better than when there were only like a dozen per week. And Eben Upton says it should improve and not be an issue by the second half of this year.

I sure hope that's the case, because it feels like it's been 2 years since I could just buy one at Micro Center, and the other SBC boards I've been testing are either too unsupported/unpopular or quite expensive as well.

Assuming every single person executed by the government was innocent, the government executing innocent people is still several orders of magnitude less common than common murder.

18 people were executed by the government in America last year. More than 20 thousand people in America were murdered during the same time period. Assuming the government only executes innocent people, you are 1000x more likely to be murdered by a criminal than a government executioner. If you include everybody killed by the police, and assume every last one of those killings was unjust, you are still 20x more likely to be killed by a common murderer than by the government.
The boring answer is that it doesn't serve as pro-capital punishment propaganda.

It is simply a tradition to give the condemned a public last statement. It has foundations in transparency and giving token dignity to the condemned.

It is much preferable to disappearing people to black sites with no records.
It's a scam because (1) they did not promise a cost reduction for just a few months, and (2) what they did was illegal and/or against the terms of service of the company's cloud provider. Just like how selling you a perfect working car for a great price – which just happens to be stolen – would be a scam.
It may be in a duct, but occasionally the manholes are in really awkward locations - like in the middle of an extremely busy road.

Yes, but they do a complete clone on each run.
Semiconductors are a low margin business. There's a reason why it's not in the USA anymore, even though it started in the USA, and it's not the lack of smart people - the profits were competed away. Now the profits are in design - NVIDIA, AMD, Apple etc.

Edit: this is not to say that the USA should not develop its own semiconductor industry again - the issue there isn't profit, it's supply chain and security, prevention of backdooring or denial by China.
Some people who don't identify as "high IQ" might get offended by this article, but I think the primary argument is valid. Many of our brightest and most ambitious minds go into finance & consulting simply because it pays the most. If we want more innovation & progress in certain fields, the financial incentives need to be aligned. In the case of semiconductors, I'm guessing there needs to be some sort of government funding due to huge startup costs and marketplace dynamics.
