So did they disclose that all the Pi did was printed lines?

The problem with the email isn’t it’s a gimmick etc. it’s that it appears quite clear that the students created the impression that it was the Pi doing it.

Your excuse that it’s difficult for first year college students with no coding experience to do something useful with the Rapberry Pi is disproven by the fact that there exist many extremely useful projects that kids with no coding experience can do, so college students almost certainly should be able to do without needing to resort to gimmicks.

So I don’t understand your complaints about the course. It’s clearly not too hard which is what you’re implying. And if you’re suggesting that the wording for the project wasn’t clear enough then that’s a huge claim to make considering you don’t know what the wording was.

Also, college (at least in the U.S.) was never about playing funny word games with the professor. There’s a level of maturity, reasonableness, and respect that is expected of the students. None of which is indicated in the response here.
>I do recall opposition to America’s post 9-11 response based on the same arguments

Very much on the margins if any. The overwhelming consensus ignored these considerations.

>The current laws of war do not allow, for instance, strikes at medical facilities.

This is wrong. Medical facilities can be struck if they are used for war.

Moreover, this is not what happened in Gaza - there were raids but not dropping bombs from airplanes, the former being much less destructive.
What happened on 10/7 was very tragic and I'm sorry to hear about your friends suffering.

Right now 2 million Palestinians are displaced and, so far, 1% of Gaza's population has been killed by the Israeli army offensive. With many more injured, crippled, psychologically scared.

The saddest part? It doesn't look like this horror will end. Many more will die

No suffering is justified
No killing is justified
This is a fair call and something I should really do with the small enough ones.

It's the auto-update behaviour of browsers that should probably be criticised here, rather than having general distrust of all extension authors.
Not necessarily. Lets say I have a node at my in-laws house. I would use untrusted device encryption in case anyone decided to take the drive and have a look.
Again, it’s easy. Did they present it as that? Or did they fake stuff to make it appear to the professor that they got the hardware and software to do more than it did?
PREACH. I love and 100% agree with your passion.
There are some ironclad exceptions but they would have to make it through the dysfunctional Congress.

The big one is recipes. Recipes under the current copyright regime in the US are considered non-copyrightable facts, which is why every cookbook and recipe blog has lots of copyrightable splash photos and personal anecdotes. Congress specifically doesn’t want grandmas getting sued for copying the recipe on the box.
Put another way – Google is only the third best performing company in the world just not the first or second.
You need a device key to use an iCloud account, and all Beeper clients were using the same device key. So unsurprisingly, it’s not hard for Apple to block. And this doesn’t mean they peep into the messages.
I think they claim 5 years. I don't keep track of this stuff very carefully but based on how long I've had them and being on my second round of battery replacements, I'd say I got more like 3-4 years. It's not that big a deal in the grand scheme of things, especially when the batteries were cheaper. I just got sticker shock last time I went to buy a set.

Until recently at least, Energizer was the sole supplier of these batteries. You can't use anything else because they have a different voltage and discharge curve, so if you put alkaline batteries in, the Nest will almost immediately complain that they're low. I see there are some mildly sketchy other brands on Amazon now. Not sure if I'm going to take that chance.

On the flip side, Jewish populations have been expelled (or worse) throughout the middle east. Israel rationally fears an unlimited right to return or a single state solution that results in them being demographically swamped. Further, we're talking about radicalized populations that no other neighboring state wants to accept-- Egypt does not want Gaza back. States in the Arab world remembers Black September.

The situation in Gaza isn't stable. Hamas needs to be displaced for any chance at peace. And then, that peace is going to have to take the form of a two state solution where no one gets exactly what they want, and it may have to be a generation away.
It's almost as if such emails should be PGP signed.

I went to an Ozzy concert years ago, and damn am I ever glad I thought about ear plugs. We were about 30 feet from a stack of cabinets. It was loud. Enough that certain notes made specific internal organs vibrate in a way that could easily make one panic haha.

Even with the plugs, my hearing was super-numbed for hours after we left.

I agree also, that I think ear buds are part of the reason. People don't ever take them out, and that constant sound pressure can't be good.

> What a weird system: there's something better, but the manufacturer isn't allowed to tell you about it.

It is the way medicine works – not just in the US, in most countries worldwide. Not just about gene therapy, about all drugs and devices.

The FDA and its international equivalents (the EMA in the EU, the TGA in Australia, etc) regulate the manufacturers, not the clinicians. They control what the manufacturers sell and even what the manufacturers are allowed to say about their products (in product packaging, prescribing information, advertisements and marketing collateral). They don't control what the treating clinicians do with those products – to the extent that is regulated, it is the job of other regulatory agencies (e.g. professional licensing boards, civil courts hearing medical malpractice claims, etc)

> What if they, like, slide the journal article across the desk, whilst holding their finger alongside their nose and winking?

What they'll do instead: there will be a conference where (among other things) the journal article author will present their findings/recommendations, and the manufacturer will sponsor (and hence help pay for) the conference. They never actually said anything, they just made sure you were there to hear about it.

I'm not a doctor but my mother is. When I was a teenager, she'd be invited to these free dinners at fancy restaurants paid for by pharmaceutical companies, and a couple of times they allowed her to take me along (she was allowed to bring her spouse/partner to some of them, so she just asked "can I bring my teenage son instead"?). During the dinner, some academic would do a presentation on their research into how wonderful one of the company's drugs was, and also do some Q&A. So the manufacturer wasn't technically saying anything, everything was said by some academic (whose research they were funding). I didn't understand it all, but I found it rather interesting. Still didn't follow her footsteps into medicine though (although my younger brother has).

But, she tells me the regulators have cracked down on free perks from pharmaceutical companies, so they are forced to be a lot less generous nowadays than they were back in the 1990s. (This is not the US though, this is Australia.)

> We contacted Verizon about the incident today and will update this article if we get a response. A Verizon spokesperson told 404 Media that the company is cooperating with law enforcement on this matter.

Someone at Verizon should maaaayyyybe have sliiiiiightly adapted that boilerplate response in this particular instance ;D

(Also, yes, no laughing matter really, but still very funny.)

FWIW I moonlight at a small community ISP and we've had to deal with the legal system twice. When we first got a request, we scratched our heads trying to figure out how to authenticate it. Our procedure became to discard all contact information from the warrant, find fresh contact from some trustworthy source (ended up being the official state webpage in both of our cases), and call them to verify.

… maybe Verizon should adopt that procedure, sounds like it would've caught this instance:

What C++ "tooling" provides safe C++, and how much does it cost?
Indeed, “stop all progress” and “accompany progress responsibly” are two different approaches.

This may be tangential - but I’d like to point out, that while the Luddite movement may be painted as espousing the former, my readings have actually suggested the latter. In “Writings of the Luddites” they very much state that they have no problems with the machines, just that they wanted them not to be used in “dishonest” ways. Of course, movements of moderate sizes will include a spectrum of ideas so I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the first camp were in the mix, but it’s worth noting!
I'll keep hn posted!
Theft is the act of taking away someone else's property. "Using" (aka copying) the public data I create isn't theft, be it with my consent or without. It may be copyright infringement under certain conditions, but arguing that this infringement is stealing is like arguing that digital piracy and shoplifting are basically the same thing.
> Why does how many Muslims there are have to do with anything? Israel is not at war with the Muslim community they are at war with a single country which is not even all Muslim. Seems like shaky rhetoric.

But the muslim community is at war with Israel and the jews, given the rabid antisemitism in every corner of MENA and beyond, like in Indonesia and Pakistan. Antisemitism is the normal in all these places.

I guess it's also the new normal on US college campuses too.
Wishful thinking.

The EU set up the rules of the game, and it turns out iMessage falls outside the rules (to the EU’s dismay).

Even if it would fall within the rules, EU regulations work on a policy level, not a technical one. In other words, they can force Apple to change their policy and facilitate interoperability, but there’s no legal mechanism to force Apple to allow unauthorized use of their service.

The best you can do, if you're so inclined, is hope that the EU will change the rules of the game, but that would be such a transparent attempt at targeting a specific company (a big no-no in the legal reality within the EU) that the European courts will strike it down before they finish their breakfast.
In my university, (US, state school,) we had a software engineering course exactly like this. It was great in theory, but in practice, the experience was rushed, the codebase was poor quality, (layers upon layers of nothing features with varying code quality,) and the background knowledge was completely ignored. The application we had to work on was a Tomcat Java Web application with an Angular frontend, when neither of those technologies were taught in any other classes (including electives.)

This approach to education can work, but I think simulating/mocking portions of this would have been more helpful (it could've been a teacher/TA managed codebase we started with rather than the monstrosity passed between generations of students who were inexperienced.)
It's not really clear to me how to use this. There are a lot of categories, but not any rhyme or reason to them that I can see. Some are languages. Others are platforms or use cases? Maybe consider having these under "filter by" multi-select drop-down menus instead of just all listed out?
>Of course you can. It's sitting there on your Mac

As I am sure we all understood, OP meant on their Android.
I’m not demanding anything, merely describing the likely future.

As an analogy, the South African apartheid state was dominant militarily. Over time, through internal and external military and political pressure, this state was defeated and abolished. The indigenous resistance that won established a new state, after which the more violent elements withered away.

Currently, Hamas are a part of the Palestinian resistance. When apartheid ends and the resistance wins, Hamas will either change or end.
OK, but how does any of this refute my contention that 3DES is secure for PGP over email?
They do! Israel is a thriving, prosperous society, world-leading in many ways. And the only way that society can persist long-term is by making peace with the Palestinians. (My own adopted home, the United States, is also a thriving and prosperous place that leads the world in many ways. And we also had to make peace with the people we wronged in the past.)
> because it was all totally above board

What do you mean by above board? What they claimed is that there is no way of telling Beeper Mini clients from an old iPhone, therefore Apple wouldn't be able to block one without blocking the other.

Clearly Apple managed to find a way, and who knows if there will be some more cat and mouse happening here. In theory though, I don't see why it wouldn't be possible to have a service that's indistinguishable from an old iPhone.

Newer devices can use device attestation, but old iPhones don't have secure enclave.
I use Google and Dropbox more like thumbdrives. Dropbox automagically takes pics and vids off my cell phone. When it syncs on my desktop, they are then (by a schedule) moved to a closer-to-permanent location and the spool is deleted.

10 Terabyte drivers are super cheap, and come in USB formats. My moat, which serves as first-stage backup, is a 10Tb drive hanging off of a Raspberry Pi at home. Everything ends up there. And that drive is the only drive I actually back up. Very simple.

Google I use only for stuff I might have to occasionally show other people.

I don't use external services for things I wouldn't be able to easily replace. Never have. Never will.

> There's no need to protest when people agree with their government.

Yet there's large protests in countries that aren't allied with the US or Israel, when no such protests were forthcoming in other analogous scenarios. And there were scarce protests in the US against Saudi Arabia's campaign in Yemen despite US alliance.

I do agree that your thesis is a partial explanation, but it is far from a full explanation. There's two other things going on.

Among Western leftists and minority groups, Israel is a symbol. It's perceived as the last vestige of Western/White colonialism. A symbol of someone with white skin punching down on brown skinned people. It harkens back to the reason that your ancestor was forced (either literally or by material circumstance) into the US in the first place, and why you are living today under systemic racism. Defeating this placeholder is therefore an important milestone in restoring their sense of historical justice. Needless to say this is oversimplified given how many Israeli Jews are indigenous to I/P or were ethnically cleansed from the surrounding MENA area and forced into the I/P area, but people do legitimately hold that dichotomous oppressor/oppressed worldview.

Among Muslim countries, this is an ethnoreligious blood feud. Assad killing Muslims doesn't cause the same anger because it's within the same identity group. So it's a classic case of identity divisions leading to disparate anger. I'm massively oversimplifying here, there are many other factors, but it's part of what's behind the energy.
Excuse me, I was taught how to build quality software, but I can't do it because the MBAs who run the company haven't been taught how to build quality software, and the board of directors who hired upper management were not taught how to write quality software. Most places I have worked the opinions of software developers were thoroughly ignored at best.
Impressive work here! Layout's nice & responsive.

Now and then I like looking for alternatives to the apps I use...see if someone's built something better. Happy to add another resource when I do it.

Only thing I'd request to add would be tools for documentation. You have Docusaurus already, but more options exist. I'm sure I could rustle up an idea or two if needed.
The problem is that there are tens of thousands of counties with more judges and cops and each county has an IT department and are you telling me that there is any way to get them all to agree to some standard procedure that they are going to have to figure out, and then pay for? The only way to accomplish this would be to centralize it at least by state, like a DMV for courts.

My whole family uses iMessage because it is the default client on their iphones. I'd love to partake in the family group chat.

For those technically savvy enough to download an additional client like Meta's Whatsapp or Messenger... it's no problem, but for the less technically inclined (like my mother) they will just use the default client.
Many long Covid researchers believe that if we can go all in to solve long Covid and its CFS manifestation, that we can likely solve other ones, especially if we find that it is caused by viral persistence. Dr. John Chia was ignored about his CFS research for decades.

I hope that if we find a reversible cure through antivirals, gut modulation, monoclonal antibodies, etc, that Mr. Chia gets the recognition he deserves given his influence on these hypotheses.

To see how clean code affects users you need to look beyond its direct, first order effects. Clean code is less likely to be buggy, is more malleable and performs better. That's how clean code benefits users, they get to enjoy faster software with fewer bugs and more features.

> There’s no question these neural networks and their output are derivative works.

Most generated content almost certainly isn’t derivative work by the standards of copyright law. It’s plainly obvious to anybody who’s read Frank Herbert’s books that he derived a lot of ideas from Isaac Asimov, but it’s equally obvious that Dune isn’t a derivative work of Foundation.

If I had some commercial interest in generative AI models, I’d be very happy that everybody is debating the copyright implications. Because copyright law is certainly going to favour the models. The biggest regulatory risk to them as far as I can tell is that they clearly don’t have section 230 protections, and I can’t imagine how that isn’t going to come crashing down around them rather soon.
There are plenty of regulating weapons usage and development. E.g. chemical and biological weapons are banned by the Geneva convention. I've never heard anyone reasonably say that European armies are likely to lose a war because they don't use biological weapons.

Sure, but Google also has the moral right to do everything possible with their code to make it as hard as possible for you to skip ads on their videos. You both get to try as hard as you can, so good luck to you both.

There's no brainwashing here. It's just a business trying to make money, and trying to outsmart the users trying to outsmart it.
you can't teach software engineering before you have taught people programming. this suggests that programming should be a first requirement for a BS degree and "software engineering" should be MS and onwards.
