So I visited my Linkedin profile earlier this week. They had automagically added a long disconnected telephone number to my profile - as in disconnected for over five years. I suspect it came either from extended internet data mining or more likely an obsolete contact in some acquaintance's uploaded address book.

A Facebook profile is mostly a Collection of Pointers. Deleting the pointer doesn't delete the values at the other end. Until garbage collection, they will persist. In other words, unless my friends and family and groups to whom I have sent information delete their accounts, data about me will persist.

Accounts are not zombies. They are vampires, never having died in the first place.

After the last 12 years, the intelligence community and law enforcement are not meaningfully distinct.
It previously struck me that an advantage of drones is that the pilots aren't under the time / personal danger pressure of needing to make snap decisions. In practice this turns out not to be the case, and -- as you say -- human pilots may make better judgment calls.
I got much inspiration from this. I like the Nietzche quote at the end which is quite different from the usual übermench stuff everybody uses:

"We should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once."

I found the other part to be equally true:

"And we should call every truth false which was not accompanied by at least one laugh.""

Our body/brain needs its learning time. You can't rush things. But you can't force things either. If repeating stuff every day feels like a chore, you should try to find other way to do it. Like learning computer stuff: from a book, a blog post, experimenting with random code from Github.

When the thing you are trying to learn becomes something you can't feel like not doing, learning will happen without consious effort. Variety and interest are hard to conjure if you fail all the time or your resistance to change (be it in strength or memory) is great, but finding a different tack on things can make things easy again.

Sometimes the best thing is to do nothing and let things lie for a bit. When you have a goal, you move closer to it just by it being there. Measuring your progress externally (like this video, bugging friends to read your stuff, pull requests to open source projects) helps you learn from mistakes. Mistakes are better way to progress, since I can easily analyze them as opposed to success: what I did do to succeed?
I skimmed so perhaps I missed something, but it looks like this is just the usual argument in favor of functional programming. I don't find it convincing because there's more to programming than getting the right output. Performance and memory usage are also important, and Haskell is extremely opaque in that respect. A strict language with optional laziness makes it much easier to reason about performance.

> GitHub deals well with force-pushing to a PR branch, ie it doesn’t lose the comments on the previous commits, etc

This has not been my experience at all, it seems to loose non-line comments always, and line comments sometimes.

---

In any case, I've been doing a lot of work on the Rust language recently, and there is an integration bot ("bors") which detects `r+` comments on the last comment on a pull-request, then runs 13 different configurations of the full test suite (4 platforms, 2 architectures, optimisations on/off, with/without valgrind; although not all combinations of these). If (and only if) all 13 test runs pass, the bot automatically pushes the commits to master.

(Almost) all commits go through bors, with increasingly less common pushes straight to master to get the test suite to pass again after some breakage. (The test suite used to only with 3 configurations for each pull request, so breakage occurred semi-often.)

(An example, https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/7693)

When it works, it is really nice; get someone to review, they approve it and the whole process is managed from there, no mistakes possible. (However, apparently the GH api is unreliable, so bors has moments of madness.)
If that is an issue surely the answer is more assisted drones. Better to have someone sitting in safety viewing a high def and possibly magnified camera output to identify things that someone taking a quick look in the cockpit while under fire.
Unless you have any benefits to gain from not open sourcing it, then open source it. If you do, contributions from the open source community might just enlighten you and you'd be a more educated person in terms of how to execute ideas efficiently.

I suspect you may see submarines configured to launch drones vertically with rocket assist and recover them using something smaller than a flight deck. Subs already deploy SEAL teams and there has been at minimum experimental use of remote piloted minisubs — this would be a perfect complement.

This heralds the end of the aircraft carrier (a good thing, since they're really quite obsolete conceptually).

More affordable space robots coming soon as Grishin backs  NanoSatisfi
Andra Keay writes: NanoSatisfi, a Silicon Valley based cubesat startup, today received $300,000 investment from Grishin Robotics bringing their total seed funding to $1,750,000, not including their initial successful Kickstarter campaign of $106,330 and CEO Peter Platzer's personal investment. NanoSatisfi's first satellite is currently being readied for launch in Japan, with JAXA, the Japanese Space Agency. NanoSatisfi are offering control of their cubesat for as little as $250 a week, opening the doors to all sorts of experimentation and big amounts of data. They've opened the Ardusat Control Center for Kickstarter backers, who can now start writing code for the ArduSat without needing to download the Arduino IDE. Backers will be able to code straight from the web to the testing infrastructure and then to download their data after completing their experiments on the ArduSat.

>What's next, not "discriminating" against people because they are running marathons for the Rapists Association, even though they're not rapists themselves? Boo-hoo, really.

Can you leave free speech out of this.

Returning to the main point, the bigger problem with discriminating based on employer is that employers are very large entities. We cannot expect everyone to know everything their employer is doing, let alone be responsible or actively contributing to it. Also, as dalke points out, there is legal precedent precident that discrimination based on employers is discrimination (specifically the ACLU kicked out a non-uniformed unannounced police officer). Granted this was only a violation of (California) state law, but the law had a specific list of protected classes, and employer was not on it.

The article said you shouldn't use Medium?
I think this is a bit of a cheap shot at tptacek so will defend him in his absence.

First, when it comes to programs by US intelligence agencies (both previously known, currently revealed, and yet to be revealed) there are multiple categories of evaluation: namely, ethical, legal, constitutional.

Generally speaking, everything the Feds are doing is legal in the sense that it follows a specific legal process that was setup in the scare over terrorism, which both expanded the powers of the executive branch and created "shadow courts" which presumably provide some checks and balances in the system. Of course, we can't really know how reliably these work since the process for National Security Letters and other aspects itself is secret. Nonetheless, there are specific process in places that seem generally speaking to be followed. How often there are "exceptions" to this process is difficult to ascertain, and has not really been a focus in the present debate.

When it comes to constitutionality, it is a hotly debated topic among Americans partially because it was the bedrock of the American state, but an increasing number of Americans (including justices) either aren't knowledgable or don't care about the specifics of the constitution. This is a huge topic, but it is sufficient to say that something can be unconstitutional (even blatantly so) and nonetheless be legal. In this specific case, it is difficult to know how or whether the protection against "unreasonable" searches includes storage of metadata associated with phonecalls that can be searched by an analyst.

Then, more broadly, there are a wide representation of ethical issues. For example, it is completely legal and constitutional to spy on non US citizens, but are there any boundaries that should be set on what is and is not acceptable behavior? My strongly held view is that, at least when it comes to US hq'ed companies with a large foreign user base that they provisions in places for non US citizens should at the very least be the same as those for US citizens. However, saying that something should exist and implementing it are two different things, and one is considerably more difficult than the other.

So this is all basically to defend tptacek and say that it is important to differentiate when accusing the US government of "crimes." In other words, there are lots of unethical things that you can do that are perfectly legal.
Text-Only Fallback Browsing
I almost don't mind releasing my code public domain (and in fact I often do that) but lately I was thinking about if there is a license I could use which forbids the usage of my code for weapons, and now with all the NSA stuff perhaps even spying or more general "harming humanity" or something?
What is that cool shell prompt that's in the video?
It's also IMO a reasonable question what the "right" behavior should be in such a situation. I'm tempted to make the argument that once content has been made available to the world and archived by the Internet Archive, my descendants or a new corporate owner shouldn't necessarily have the right to remove that content from public view at some time in the future.

You ask that with a straight face? How much time do you have?

Entire departments, even inside of the NSA, have nothing to do with the current controversy.

Yes, and? Most people don't have AIDS, it's still recommended to use condoms when having sex with strangers. Since in this case there is no way to test them, it's better to be safe than sorry. Since that they're unable to be tested is by choice and design, it sucks for them. You can call that bigotry, I'm calling it putting the foot down. Collateral damage, if you will.

And hey, we're not talking about invading a country and killing a hundred thousand people in the pursuit of who-the-fuck-knows, but rather about people not being invited to a conference in the pursuit of we-know-exactly-what. This, my friend, is progress.

Entire departments, even inside of the NSA, have nothing to do with the current controversy. And it is important for them to stay up-to-date on the latest and greatest cyberattacks that go on in the country.

So maybe they can sign up to a newsletter or something? Or watch the lectures on youtube? What in God's name would require them to physically be there?

Every single last human being on the other hand, is at the wrong end of this gun. And we really really need that gun to be destroyed. To this end, symbolic actions are taken, as in this case (because I don't for a second believe this seriously would change or damage fuck all, to not get invited to a conference, but it certainly ought to make the conference a more enjoyable one), and people get to feel who they're associated with, and why that it matters. If one hand doesn't know what the other is doing, then that's real tragic, you know?

I mean, as long as we're talking needs, let's talk needs, instead of just dismissing the one side of the equation, and blowing the other out of proportion. They need to go to defcon or they can't do their job, huh. Poor people trying to "secure networks". Not against snoops, of course... or do you mean rather like securing middle east oil, huh?

Some are trying to end the bleeding away of life and money, to end the drying up of liberty -- and anyone who's not on board with that can take their pathetic priorities and play in traffic, as far as I'm concerned. I'd rather try to find someone better for their spouse and kids, than accept the need to "feed the family" as an excuse for any old thing. That stuff has played out once and for all.

And if they ARE concerned about the very same things, than why wouldn't they agree that it's worth a little inconvenience for them personally, to make a statement that kinda matters?

You don't clearly don't know how the Federal Government is setup.

Yup, I clearly don't not know that indeed. But even if I didn't know, there's something to be said for smart guesses, and not falling for those who play for time or act stupid.

We love ThreeJS. For example, I am third in total commits to ThreeJS: https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/contributors
If you do choose to license your code under such a license, it would not be considered open source (according to the OSI) or free software (according to the FSF). Here's the relevant part of the Open Source Definition:

> The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research.
This is a clever little utility, I've got my setup mostly scripted off but I'm sure I'll find a use for it.
Note that there's some argument about the CC0's appropriateness for code; apparently the OSI's lawyers said it wasn't good, but now say it's okay, and the FSF's lawyers say it's not cool.

They're useless for you. It typically means someone posted a bug on the issue tracker and it got fixed. If you did not try PyPy before, you can't know if it affects you. If you did and there were bugs in cffi/ctypes, this is a time to try, if you did and it worked it should continue working.

I know this is useless for you, but be a little understanding, most releases that are genuinely useful contain tons of stuff like "we fixed performance of this corner case" or "we fixed this obscure crash" etc. What else would you suggest to put there?

Not to be confused with sshuttle, a transparent proxy server that forwards over SSH: https://github.com/apenwarr/sshuttle
It's an IR that currently is compatible with JS, but that's not necessarily the case longterm. And I personally don't see how it can retain that property while adding some of the things the platform needs (e.g. thread support that works for existing codebases). I asked dherman this elsewhere in the thread, and it seems like diverging from JS hasn't been ruled out. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6023902

So, my concern here is that asm.js will either be forced to diverge from JS to make it generally useful, or it will need to add APIs to JS that are not appropriate outside of asm.js. If it gets to that place, then I feel that the compromises necessary for asm.js were a waste, and it would have clearly been better to just introduce a new IR that wasn't bound by the constraints of asm.js.
