I'm not sure why this is being downvoted. I had a similar experience. Witeboard seems to have trouble with curves. Trying to draw an "o" would invariably result in geometric shapes, a perfect circle, or some sort of rectangle. I was experiencing a lot of latency as well, which only aggravated the situation.

The response to this news on HN has been very disappointing. By contrast, there was a lively apolitical discussion[0] back in 2015 about the effort to bring Snowden back to the US. On the other hand, people now seem more concerned about the motivations of Trump. If it's the right thing to do, who cares about the motivation behind it or the person enacting it? This reminds me a little of the response to Trump's efforts to end the War in Afghanistan. I realize I'm not talking about individuals, but it's maddening to see communities that had almost universally supported both things for many years seemingly let political biases get in the way of doing the right thing.

He's being intentionally vague. The attacker is obviously aware of his posts. If he reveals how he is indentifying the relays, they will change according.

If you read between the lines, he gives a few hints with regards to the sslstripping and traffic manipulation on only a limited set of sites.

This is from another post @ https://medium.com/@nusenu/the-growing-problem-of-malicious-...:

> In autumn 2019 I stumbled on something odd: Tor relays doing something that the official tor software is unable to do. This is intentionally vague to avoid giving away the detection methodology to the adversary."

I've never understood why people espouse China's "4000 year history". The government purged nearly all aspects of traditional Chinese society during the Cultural Revolution. If you want to be reminded of China's history, you travel to Taiwan. Even practitioners of Chinese traditional medicine tend to study overseas in Japan.

I'm similarly skeptical of the government, but this is no Lee Harvey Oswald. There's no dead president. These "double your cash" scams are widespread and some of the least sophisticated sorts of scams. It was poorly worded and the website that was intended to give each visitor a unique wallet address (which would have made block chain analysis difficult) was not even functioning properly. There was no exploit, it was social engineering via phone. Why would the government even bother? As others have noted, more sophisticated attackers could have caused much more damage (manipulated markets, precipitated political crises, et cetera). The guy was selling Twitter usernames on a forum that people use to sell accounts. It wasn't just boasting, there are actual transactions that occurred over Discord and at ogforums.

This was phone-based spear phishing, social engineering. There was no exploit.

I just walked through Cal Anderson Park this evening. The gardens are still intact. There are huge elevated 55g drums of water for irrigation, it's hard to miss.

I've heard it been referred to as postoperative delirium. My SO has spent a good amount of time in hospitals, but coming out surgery this last time she started to hallucinate. At first we all had a good time as she described these fantastical visions to her nurses and I as if she were watching something on TV. Later things started to get quite terrifying. She was convinced that the nurses were conspiring to kill her. Not a fun experience, but I've heard from many others that it's a fairly common one.

Claim what you want, but on Jan 14 the WHO stated the following "Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) identified in #Wuhan, #China🇨🇳."[0]

The nuance is that they were repeating Chinese propaganda.

I always use YAD, a much more feature-filled fork of zenity.

Probably. I live in Seattle and people seem to frequently complain about having to see homeless and other "undesirables" in their neighborhood. I love it when their posts also include stealthy photos of the offenders in question. /s I've seen neighbors who live in my same building posting this sort of crap. Obviously there are a lot of issues to address in the city, and people should certainly find ways to do that, but I find it really maddening when people pile on and and take out all of their frustrations on a single person.

I assume placebo is the same muesli bar used in the other groups (without the supplemented fructan or gluten).

Making cake for the rich isn't an example of the broken window fallacy either, and I'm not sure what that has to do with anything.

Cash for clunkers is an example of the fallacy, operating a vehicle (be it a car or jet) for work/pleasure is not.

From the video, some of the subtle strategies fascists use to code their ideas:

1) They deny being a fascist.

2) Euphemism (e.g. I'm a X, not a fascist or talking about purging criminals, rapists and terrorists which is actually code for purging non-white people.)

3) Pedantry. They bog you down and waste your time in a "petty terminological dispute" as they specifically detail why they are not a fascist.

I can't even go on, I feel like I listening to a guide on how to spot a witch.

To state the obvious, a consolation prize to someone who loses a finger isn't the point. Rather the purpose of said proposed legislation would be to incentivise rational economic actors to purchase safer machines. Assuming the premium discounts were greater than the added cost of the "safe stop" technology amortized over the lifespan of the machine, they would. Either that or go out of business, further automate production, move shop to Mexico, etc.

Does anyone know whether travelers are required to facilitate these phone searches (e.g. enter encryption password at boot and disable screen lock)?

In summary, yes. It is a misdemeanor (subject to a fine of not more than $1,000) to refuse to provide assistance (e.g. translation or decryption). Assuming you refuse, they will likely seize the device and detain you for some unknown period of time.

It goes both ways. Children of the well-off can end up feeling abandoned in daycares and boarding schools. Compared to other children who are generally raised by their parents (or close family members) with whom they develop a strong bond, it's not entirely clear to me who has it better.

I'm not sure how well this works on newer versions of Android (probably not at all), but you used to be able to use a Tasker application context and the Secure Settings System+ module to automatically switch the IME depending on what application was active.

  you can't easily move virtualenvs

I'm not sure whether it qualifies as easy, but you can use virtualenv-mv

That wouldn't be unheard of. There was a regional site in the SF Bay a few years back (myRedBook) registered out of Seychelles. Whole lot of good that did them though, since they still picked up their checks in the valley.

Speeches are written. Interviews are scripted. Personas are cultivated. I'm not sure how it would be able to ascertain whether a politician is a sociopath any more than it would be able to determine whether Brad Pitt is after analyzing one of his films.

Presumably components of the hardware or software could be compromised somewhere upstream by nation-state actors like the CIA and NSA's TAO. It's not as if Iran's nuclear facilities were connected to the Internet and that didn't exactly keep their centrifuges safe.

I can't verify at the moment (the site isn't responding when I tried to open it back up), but isn't this a backpack for ultralight backpacking as opposed to an ultralight backpack for (traditional) backpacking? If so, you're working with sub-20lb loads where chest/waist straps are no longer essential. Durability also no longer a top priority. The needs and expectations of an UL pack are vastly different from those of a traditional pack (which is what you seem to be describing).

This is what they're there for:

Also, I'm not sure why the OP referred to them as rear view mirrors. I've only heard them called side view mirrors.

Or the employers decide it now makes sense to invest in infrastructure or automation so that fewer or perhaps even no workers are required. Elevator attendants are the classic example.

Where did Trump claim that he won't accept the results of the election? In the debates, he refrained from saying one way or another.[0] There's a big difference between what he said and what you're saying he said.

Economically disadvantaged members of U.S. armed forces are not in some special moral category. Whatever their motives, they voluntarily joined an organization that initiates force against others on behalf of the political and economic ruling class. They aren't solely responsible for the aforementioned "contemporary crimes", but they aren't innocent either.

Many people also turn to crime in an attempt to escape poverty or a dying town. Certainly we can have empathy for desperate people making difficult decisions, but it doesn't absolve them of moral agency or place them above scrutiny.

Sometimes in dating, it seems that giving an explicit rejection early on can open yourself up to further undesired communication and wasted time/energy (i.e. rather than accept it and move on, they take it as an opportunity to engage further). I wonder if the same sort of thing happens in the job market? Perhaps this is the rationale (a subconscious one even) behind some of this "ghosting"?

This is the app I've used in the past: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.scottyab.s...

Also I was under the impression that SafetyNet would only pass on stock ROMs (to include official CyanogenMod builds lacking root). Is that not true? Will it also pass on any custom ROM lacking root?

Edit: According to http://androiding.how/use-android-pay-cm14-cm13/, SafetyNet (the tamper detection API in use by Android Pay and Pokemon Go) will only pass on official stable (non-nightly) releases of CM13/CM14 that have root disabled in the Developer options. It will not pass on debug releases of firmwares/ROMs, including Android 7.0 Nougat based CM14 and Android 6.0 Marshmallow based CM13 ROMs.
