> But they are so fragile that a smirk can intimidate them?

First let me say I'm not on the side of these kinds of laws. We can't be passing laws giving special privileges to (or removing privileges from) a particular group of people.

"Our constitution is color-blind, and neither knows nor tolerates classes among citizens. In respect of civil rights, all citizens are equal before the law." Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) [1]

It seems that more and more Americans feel intimidated by just about anything nowadays (microagressions, etc.). So much so that Hate Crimes and Safe Spaces are now a thing. People have lost jobs due to Cancel Culture fueled hate-mobs.

I don't buy into class warfare, in my worldview police are just as fragile (no more, no less) as any other human. Holding a gun in your hand doesn't make you any less fragile, just more hazardous/dangerous. I'm sure there are plenty of people that regularly carry guns, people that (based on class/race/etc) would be considered extremely fragile. The gun doesn't change that distinction.

Why wouldn't police officers be afforded the same kinds of protections from microagressions that are given to other people in this country? Doesn't a police officer have a right to a safe working environment, and aggression free interactions with 'customers' (citizens), and laws saying as much? If the answer is patriarchy or 'whiteness' (whatever that means) etc. then this is just more of the same toxic in group / out group stuff used to justify holding power over others.

Is a hard working police officer allowed to be offended by songs such as "Fuck The Police"? Is that "hate speech"? Should the creators of that song be cancelled for being filled with hate directed at a particular "out group"?

More and more I am bothered by the kinds of "distinctions" between people we're making in this country. You know, the kind based on race, class, education, wealth, etc. that just separates people into "this kind" and "that kind". This "this kind" gets special treatment, while "that kind" is afforded no protections, and is persecuted (don't get me started on the people who say "its OK they deserve it").

Laws like this are profoundly anti-American, going against the kinds of values we've collectively upheld for over 200 years.

"Fuck the police" indeed.

I've tried numerous times to run Ableton Live on Linux via Wine. No dice, ever. At this point I'm unwilling to get my hopes up. That's despite having even read accounts of others succeeding.

Fortunately Reaper turns out to be better for my purposes (largely microtonality) anyway.
Yes, in theory. Not so much noise, but speech. And specifically speech that you are engaged with, most likely. Versus speech to which you aren't paying much attention.

Normal child development is uniquely contingent on the child hearing a lot of speech.

It is known that unless deaf people get cochlear implants at the youngest possible age, their intellectual development risks being stunted due to lack of heard language.

Which begs the hypothesis that a positive effect of hearing aids in prevention of cognitive decline is due to maintenance of heard speech.

A related hypothesis might be that any correlation between a high degree of social activity and less cognitive decline is, at least in part, due to the same mechanism. As could be any correlation to playing chess, etc, due to this hidden variable.

Yeah, the only worry is someone saying mine fifty four. And you don't catch 5.

But that's pretty easy. Sorry I didn't catch that could you do it one number at a time?
> voluntarily downloading an app

that's all true until an app becomes the only way to interact with certain groups of people. i certainly wouldn't call my usage of Discord voluntary. it doesn't actually matter how often i read their privacy policy and shake my head. either I break off contact with a large part of the internet that's important to me or I begrudgingly agree "voluntarily" to their terms and conditions.

In China they are running their own infrastructure on servers owned by party-affiliated businesses. I wonder how strong their encryption is over there?

China blocks many services with strong encryption but it doesn’t block iMessage.

>Different occupations require different temperaments, personalities, and so forth.

No, I don't think I agree with that. Widely varying workplace cultures across businesses in the same field or market are driven by widely-varying temperaments, personalities, etc. in each business's labor force. (This is the saving grace of, say, police officers, where many decorated vets have been shown to be bullies and sociopaths; I would hope that there is some variance there.) There isn't just variance in how different companies and even teams do things, but across time; the job of a journalist today is quite different from the job of one at the occupation's inception, and even of one who is now retiring as this young man is beginning his career. In fact, assuming that in-built assets truly vary non-trivially, many retire BECAUSE theirs are incompatible with the shifting needs of a modern worker. That a job's responsibilities change over time would alone seem to falsify the notion that one can be born with a proclivity for it, the same as one's parents.

>How is any of that controversial, or worthy of your scorn?

It's unscientific, Panglossian garbage.
Having been around for the long haul and meet Kevin a few times, I'm sad to hear of his passing. Yet, his white hat influence will live on.

I completely agree. There was a time when hacker did not mean criminal. That was the time during which Kevin was active. It was also the time during which I was active, not that that matters right now. But there was a rapid shift from computers being something you could explore to if you're exploring that then you are a bad person. And I also agree that trying to scare policy makers isn't necessarily going to work because they don't understand what they're scared of. Curiosity is no longer rewarded in general in our society.

Those of you who don't think what Kevin did was important, there seem to be a lot of people discussing him, aren't there?
Right? He's clearly center right. Sanders or Warren or AoC are centrist moderates. Or maybe center left.

Kshama Sawant is a leftist. There are folks left of her.

If you don't see Biden as centrist or even center right, you have a narrow view of the spectrum.

I think that the problem is that Meta has normalized this violation so it doesn't feel like a big deal. It feels watered down even for someone like you who appears to be very aware of the problem.

It's like exploited workers and people living in quasi-slavery, many of them don't understand their rights and "voluntarily" waive them. My parents didn't really understand the implications of "voluntarily" accepting Meta's privacy statement - once I explained it to them, they were in complete horror.
its kind of a term of art and applies more to the state than the police specifically - although the police are obviously the primary tool of doling out legalized violence and have in many ways usurped the power to determine what qualifies as legal.

> For the same reasons, "monopoly" does not mean that only the government may use physical force, but that the state is that human community that successfully claims for itself to be the only source of legitimacy for all physical coercion or adjudication of coercion. For example, the law might permit individuals to use force in defense of one's self or property, but this right derives from the state's authority.

I don't actually know, but recently an applicant did this and it caused a bit of stir (in a good way). It changed the role the applicant was being considered for.

The language to be used for the exercise is intentionally not specified (even pseudocode is fine), so more often with younger applicants you see them using Python and doing it using high-level methods. Not the best approach for that kind of problem, but it also tells us something -- that applicant is probably better suited for our AI teams than our embedded systems teams.
One difference is that regular citizens have to prove that they were acting in self defense while, in practice, police are almost always given the benefit of the doubt.

Not really.

The design cycle for hardware products is typically 6 months to 2 years maximum. Moat consumer products get refreshed pr redesigned every year, typically to coincide with CES and other things like the holiday rush. Same with the toy industry, there is a big annual show that you need to release your toy at or you wait to next year. In medical devices it's a bit longer, 2-3 years is common.

If you take much longer than that to bring the product to market you have to start redesigning the stuff you designed first. Components go obsolete, computers and displays change every year, software needs to be patched. It's why programs like the f35 and f22 are such messes, they were designed over a decade.

Most hardware products we interact with daily took less than 3 years to design and bring to market, they are not F22s. Some things take longer like an MRI machine but they typically are done in a iterative way so that proved versions of a product are brought out every year or two.

The tipping point is when some „unwashed masses“ decide to go to a billionaire mansion and explain them (forcefully) that they aren’t billionaires any longer, and neither the security staff nor the called police will step in, since they are part of the masses (family ties, defunding, …). Why should they do cruel work for a salary if they can take their part of the wealth directly?

I read his book when I was younger... And at DEFCON 19 I got selected to get paired with a celebrity hacker in the 10,000 cent hacker pyramid. I ended up getting paired with Kevin Mitnick & we played against Dan Kaminsky. It was a really cool experience & even though Kaminsky went on to win... It was a ton of fun and Kevin was a really cool guy.

I hope his family is doing well.

>I was searching for a bug in ANSI characters that respond to a change of the window’s title. One of the things I did was check how the previous bugs were exploited. One of them, CVE-2015-8971 (found by Nicolas Braud-Santoni), was a bug in Terminology 0.7.0 that didn’t filter new line (\n) escape character when changing the window title. It allowed you to modify the window title and then re-insert it into the terminal’s input buffer, resulting in arbitrary terminal input, which then caused code execution.

As a shopper, self checkout is wonderful. It's so much faster and easier than waiting for a single cashier or two. Especially the ones with a scan gun, so you don't have to fight the stupid countertop scanner.

As for lost jobs, should we really be propping up unnecessary jobs that really don't do much except poorly substituting a machine? Whether it's checkout or journalism or coding or politics... if a computer can do it better, why not let it and free up the human for other things?

Technology leading to job losses and changes has been happening for a couple centuries now. It has real social impacts, but the answer can't just be "pretend it didn't happen and keep employing them". Maybe our economic and educational systems need to evolve to keep pace, rather than keeping people stuck in assembly line monotony just to keep them meaninglessly employed.
> in my experience it’s kind of a sign of lazy design

Is it always lazy in the bad way, though? In software there's no sharp distinction between "built to carry weight" and "built to tack drywall onto." Whether a system is robust or dangerously unscalable depends on the context. You can always do the thought experiment, "What if our sales team doubled in size and then sold and onboarded customers as fast as they could until we had 100% of the market," and maybe using your database as a message queue is fine for that.

If it results in a sad dev team, then that's a case where it was a mistake. It's hard to maintain, or it's an operational nightmare. That isn't the inevitable result of using a (software) decorative stud as a (software) load-bearing element, though. There are a lot of systems happily and invisibly doing jobs they weren't designed for, saving months of work building a "proper" solution.
I imagine you would want them on some wires network to reduce EMI noise in these all metal environments.
> Why wouldn't police officers be subject to the same kinds of protections from microagressions afforded to others?

These are special protections afforded only to police officers. Normal people are protected from hate speech about their race or gender but cops are protected from "hate speech" about their race, gender, or profession. It's not hate speech to say "Fuck Lawyers" but it is to say "Fuck the Police".
First, I agree that ALL cops spend a large portion of their job dealing with the worst aspects of our society. This inevitably colours their perspective and puts them in a very tough situation, prone for very bad mistakes.

I disagree with your "some bad apples" analogy though. That would be easy to fix relative to the problem we have which is systemic. "Good" cops are in the exact same situation as the bad ones. Policing is required yet fundamentally causing the problems at the same time.

>> And if someone has a right not to be harassed, when doing their job in an office, why doesn't a cop, when doing their job on the street?

As stated in the article all 50 states already have laws on the books that prevent interference with police while doing their job. If you are in a public facing role like a police officer you most certainly do not have the right to being shielded from observation and interaction - that's a huge part of the job and probably part of the solution too.
