I assume you can (untested) reference https endpoints with a favicon?

If you can inject html though, a hidden image would probably would just as well. Although the behavior of chrome apparently still requesting the favicon file after the tab has closed, and possibly storing it in the history or bookmark file, may make this more or less appealing. Unsure.

"News as we know it is at risk. So is democratic governance, which depends on an effective watchdog news media."

Post-Iraq (and in the days of government-backed Snowden-smearing) that's a problematic statement. If the statement is true, democratic governance is already dead (since news media clearly do not see themselves as watchdogs anymore, nor do they act like they were). If the statement is false and democratic governance is still present, then it clearly does not depend on "news as we know it".
You’re right; to humans, short sentences do signal persuasive arguments and confidence in your ideas. And not without reason. People often speak longwindedly when they are trying to hide something.

But there is another reason someone might use long sentences. They might be trying to express a complicated idea. Sometimes an idea cannot expressed in a short sentence. Usually you can break up a complex idea into a few short sentences, but that might make the reading choppy and hard to follow. A long sentence leads its reader through the connections between ideas. In contrast, separate sentences express the ideas and leave it up to the reader to figure out what the connections are between the ideas.

This leaves us with an apparent cognitive bias: if we are distrustful of long sentences, we become distrustful of complex ideas.

Given this, I wonder if modern anti-intellectualism stems from this sensible defensive mechanism.

I didn't write it, Pierre Bourdieu did (in French, but my translation follows the sentence fairly closely), and he has stated that he writes like that so that he's hard to quote. In fact, to really understand the sentence, you'd need to read the one before it, and probably the one before that, and they're all about as complicated and hard to understand; you find yourself having to turn to the previous page just to remember what the subject of the sentence was.
I had a dream where I was looking at my 3D color holographic watch app, while sitting naked in a grass hut on a beach somewhere, cooking out of old tin cans. Not a bad life (at least in the dream).
You could store the key (or password to the key) in the TPM in order to prevent BIOS, bootloader or option ROM tampering.

An issue is that too many things could affect the TPM PCR values (for example, plug in a USB stick even though you don't boot from it- I think this is a mistake in the spec), so users get used to typing in the backup password and may not notice that a root-kit was installed.

There are some interesting comparisons between (what the economist Tyler Cowen refers to as) The Great Stagnation Of 1973-now, and The Really Great Stagnation of 1650-1740. Restraining the comparison to the English speaking nations, we can say:

1.) Both episodes begin with a cultural revolution that has no precedent (the arrival of militant Protestantism versus the arrival of the counter-culture of the 1960s)

2.) Both episodes witness a fundamental reassessment of what property is. (The closing of the commons giving rise to the concept of private property, versus the modern rise of intellectual property).

3.) Both episodes see important intellectual innovation, against a background of economic stagnation (Robert Hooke, Isaac Newton, Boyle, versus the rise of modern genetics --- although, arguably, this is an area where the analogy breaks down, as nothing of the last 50 years seems to match the importance of Newton or Boyle).

4.) Both episodes see a civil rights struggle that fundamentally changes the relationship between the citizen and the state (freedom of religion being the big struggle of the 1600s, freedom from racial discrimination being the struggle of recent times).

The Really Great Stagnation ended with the Industrial Revolution. The current stagnation ends with...

Try this thought experiment. Adjusted for inflation, would you rather make $50,000 in today's world or $100,000 in 1980's? In other words, is an extra $50,000 enough to get you to give up the internet and TV and computer that you have now?

I think the more import trade-offs are around availability of free time, which probably has been reduced for a lot of workers by the internet and smartphones as well as technologies that allow individuals to do things that would be either labor intensive or have high capital requirements. I can do things today on a middle class salary that only a millionaire would have been able to do in the 1980's.
Visually, a card often has a header and/or footer and is generally embeddable into a standard article body (e.g. Twitter's embeddable tweet cards). Content-wise, a card serves a very specific semantic purpose: presenting a self-contained block of data to a user in a standalone way. The metaphor employed here is something like a trading card or baseball card, such that a block of data or metadata about a particular subject is called out in a self-contained way that is easily understandable and digestable.

I feel that by enabling/creating an RSS feed for your content you are implicitly allowing people to use the content in the RSS feed as they see fit. You may put a license of some type on it, for various free use type licenses or whatever, but you get the point. If there isn't a license on the site or in the feed stating how the content can be used, people are going to assume they can aggregate it how they see fit.

I wrote quite a large news aggregator in the past it indexed over 200 sites every 5-10 minutes. Intially when we were doing the research for the RSS/Atom feeds, we were contacting producers of the content explaining what we were doing to see if they wanted in.

We were getting such overwhelmingly positive response from the creators that they were happy that people were actually using the RSS feeds and were interested spreading the content around that we never had anyone request to be removed or didnt ask specifically to get into the aggregator. In fact the only maintenance was when a site died or they changed their feed URL.

Hmm, I'm surprised OpenBSD supports this, since it will cause the passphrase to get stored in your shell history in plaintext.

I deliberately stated a very mild form of the idea because that is what actually seems to have been accepted relatively early on. The stronger idea that we should actually treat people with different beliefs as we would like to be treated in turn took a lot longer.

For instance the lot of many faiths in the UK started improving with the toleration act of 1668. Why were Catholics excluded? Because there had been actual attempts to kill English kings (most famously the Gunpowder plot) and the Pope kept the stance that Catholics should try to overthrow England's government. The Catholic church maintained that position until 1766. In response, England started treating Catholics better. First in various colonies, and then for England itself with the 1778 Papists Act. Something much closer to equality arrived as you noted in 1829.

Atheists got worse treatment. For example they could not testify in UK courts until 1870. And even though atheist Charles Bradlaugh started getting regularly elected in 1880, and he was not allowed to be a member of the House of Commons until 1886.

The US was fundamentally no better, and in practice worse despite the Bill of Rights. For example it was not until 1961 that the Supreme Court ruled that atheists could not be barred by their non-belief from things like being a notary public.

But for all that we can legitimately criticize about the way these ideas were put in practice, they are worlds better than when Henry VIII took land from Catholics for not recognizing his marriage, his daughter Mary killed Protestants for not recognizing the Pope, the Pope in return tried to convince Catholics to try to kill Elizabeth I, and James 1. Both then passed various laws penalizing Catholics in retaliation.

Remember the Bloody Question? "If the Pope should invade England, which would you support? The Queen or the Pope?" Killing people who said, "the Pope" was pretty brutal, but reflected political reality.
Writers are often advised to avoid long sentences. This is obviously wrong: the thing to avoid are complicated sentences. Long sentences can be simple if they don't require the reader to remember previous parts in order to parse the rest. Instead, each part extends the thought made in the previous one, with appropriate punctuation showing the relationship between the two; this sort of sentence can go on for lines without confusing anyone. A confusing sentence requires the reader to remember which verb was used forty words back, before it went off on a tangent. The cure for such sentences isn't simply bisecting them. Rearranging can bring separateed pieces of an idea together; if that doesn't work, one must drop the idea then explicitly take it up again later. Or, more brutally, axe the tangential remark. Not everything needs to be said, but if it does, say it somewhere else.

Seventy words shorter. I would have done the rest but I expired.
Pretty sure that actually says "if someone makes a claim against your feed, we'll let you know. If you say the claim is bs and indemnify us, we'll keep republishing."

That can be inferred by the fact that indemnification is a subclause of "you can resolve the issue." In other words, it would be only occur as a result of the RSS author's active and intentional actions in responding to a claim. Again, stupid wording though.
I don't use LastPass, but one thing that impresses me about their blog post: they didn't hide behind "your passwords are hashed" or something equally weaselly, but instead said exactly and clearly how passwords are hashed. Every online company should take note.

You don't need an army (depending on the solution). But setting up gitlab/rhodecode/indefero/srchub/Gitolite/custom scripts for a single project is kind of overkill. I've used rhodecode and whenever they released an update it would take me hours to update it. I've never been happier to fork indefero and get off of google code.

> I pointed out that manufacturers are free to develop their own standards and provided evidence to that effect.

They can only develop their own standards in excess of what the CSPC already requires of them. And their standard already sets the bar very, very high. Too high to be useful to most people.

So while that statement isn't blatantly and grossly wrong, I would argue that it's not really correct either. A more honest statement might be "manufacturers are free to develop their own standards (so long as they also meet CSPC minimums) and provided evidence to that effect"

A large portion of the point of this debate is "are the CSPC minimums a good tradeoff" and so pointing out that people can do whatever they want in excess of the CSPC minimums isn't exactly great form.
It is especially interesting when you consider that the general consensus is that we are entering a period of dramatic climate change, and the crisis/crises in question took place during the "little ice age" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Ice_Age), another period of dramatic climate change.

If you're the type who looks for lessons in history, it raises some obvious questions: are the dislocations, wars and struggles that came from the privation of the little ice age something we'll be seeing in our future too? Are there things about warming that make it more or less prone to these types of problems than global cooling was? Are there mistakes people made back then that we can avoid making?
> developing and understanding frameworks for grouping historical events

This is called "historiography", and were it more commonly taught in US primary and secondary schools, fewer Americans would think of "history" as being dull -- an endless stream of bare facts lacking context is indeed dull as dishwater; it's in the drawing and analysis of narrative that all the interest lies.
I covered that. If you have high variance in how long message processing takes, which is very easy to do accidentally, then if you something simple like "random" you can easily block up the message latency. (Of course, "don't do that". Easier said than done.)

If you're at a scale at which you're seriously using Erlang, "fast" isn't really a concept that applies anymore. You really end up with "enough performance" or "not enough performance", with an at-times surprisingly sharp transition from one to the other, and while the base performance of the underlying language is certainly a major factor in whether you have "enough", it isn't the only factor, or even necessarily the most important. (Which is good for Erlang, because it's actually quite slow at most conventional things.) It doesn't matter if I've got "sub-millisecond message processing" if I'm trying to run more messages through a box than it can handle, or if I've got an external response handler that sometimes clogs up.

There's no way that Erlang can possibly be "fast" enough that somebody won't throw a task at it that's still a performance challenge.
Brilliant response. They send him a letter declaring a legal contract on his rss feed unless he specifically declines, he declines via rss feed- which the lawyers will probably not read.

I've always had the feeling that LastPass was held together by sticks and duct tape, especially the frontend.
I think the point of this feature (TPM? at least as I've seen it implemented on laptops) is that you can have a signed bootloader and encrypted drive such that, you don't need a passphrase to boot the OS (the TPM has it, or equivalent), your TPM verifies you are booting a trusted OS (that means it will actually authenticate users in the usual way and check their authorization before granting them access to data)

... and nobody who just picks up your laptop can either read your files without your password, or remove the drive and gain access to your files without the TPM.

Whether that chain all works as I imagine or not, I can't say and I haven't investigated to be able to say. I don't know if all it takes to gain access to the TPM in reality is (physical access to the machine), a USB stick with EFI booting, and any signed OS that will verify you are a root user authorized by that USB stick, which anyone who has $99 can get on their own, or just download Ubuntu or RedHat on your own can get.

That would be a pretty big let-down if that was really all you needed, though.
Do you think every RSS reader is infringing copyright by displaying other peoples content, or is Apple somehow a special case here?
Even if you cap favicon size you don't solve the issue you're discussing at all.

A bad actor web-site can just move from favicon to an image, script file, or just return an indefinite series of HTML characters with no end.

The only way for the issue you want solved to be solved is for mobile browsers to add a "max page size" option, that will stop downloading content after it hits the cap.

In general this favicon bug is neither here nor there with the issue you're concerned about. Nobody needs this to waste your bandwidth.

The only reason this is noteworthy is that it is a little embarrassing for the browser vendors and it causes the browsers (Firefox and Chrome) to crash.
You can't agree to a contract by inaction.

I suspect that whether Apple violates his copyright would come down to exactly how they implemented the system. If they pulled posts directly from his servers they would probably be ok. If they cache/host the content themselves it could get a bit murkier.
It probably ends with commercial fusion power or a similar technological gain on power generation. Cheap power makes most of the stuff we use or make much cheaper. Which leads to a major change in the living standard and expectations (imagine access to electricity being seen as a right since power generation would outstrip demand if something like fusion became viable).
