This not an anti-Trump story. The story is about the DA and the police filing obviously wrongful felony charges.
Sure, a bigger number of protesters also got similar charges, but that's not a big news because it's everything but obvious that the charges are bogus.
With reporters covering the event the situation is different. Mass arrests during riots I fully understand, and then reporters may get caught up in the net, but after you identify the reporters, you let them go. You don't file felony charges against reporters filming the event, unless of course you are a crooked DA.
The workdays in Europe are your pretty typical 8 hour days, the difference I think comes from the 15-30 annual vacation days per year, plus all the public holidays.
No other reason than that it systematically sucks at stopping malware campaigns compared to pretty much everyone else on independent third party comparisons such as https://www.av-test.org/en/antivirus/home-windows/
The Nordics, where having kids also increases your happiness, are also very high on individualism as opposed to collectivism. The key difference to the US are the public policies that allow families never to stress about things like arranging daycare to the kids from the day they born.
These policies are not there to combat individualism, but to enable it with taxpaid support networks. Most of them are not poor aids, but state benefits that everyone enjoys, like the free or cheap high quality daycare used by the poor and rich alike.
How much more? I always imagined that it's more likely for a standard user to open every email attachment and execute it than it is to get targeted by a malicious attacker who knows what software your users are running and writes exploits tailored for them, but I could be wrong.
Typical AV for Linux is for server products serving mainly Windows clients, and the Windows clients are more probable to run random binaries.
Linux malware, outside of someone trying to crack the computer, largely doesn't exist because have you ever tried to ship binaries for all Linux distros?
Tor is supported by intelligence agencies because of the value it brings to them. For someone undercover, Tor is a great way to keep in touch, and if you're confronted you have a plausible explanation of wanting to buy LSD or watch kiddie porn or whatever most people use Tor for.
I wonder how does that even work? If someone drops in an injured person and leaves, will the hospital just let the injured person die on the floor? If bystanders doing nothing raises headlines in India, I'd imagine hospitals doing that would be an even bigger scandal.
Does someone really believe that cognitive dissonance is a bad thing, as the article suggests at the end? I've just always imagined that feeling bad for poor decisions is how you learn not to do poor decisions.
I always though it was a reference for covering the ground around strawberry plants with dry straws. Strawberries especially go bad if the berries touch moist ground, gathering mold or fungus, and you'll also want to avoid weeds, so a thick layer of dried straws work perfectly for farming strawberries.
I think the real title is "The Oxford Etymologist doesn't know how strawberry got their name"
About those tests, you should know that the testing orgs are using an array a computers with up-to-date AV solutions, and then making them all go to e.g. websites dealing malware right then as soon as they find a new sources of malware attacks.
I honestly cannot imagine a better way to objectively test how well the products fare against attacks against an average Internet user.
Edit: If I was not clear, nobody tests with historical samples anymore. Only live attacks are being used for tests.
The only tests against real malware out there I've seen are done by AV-Test and AV-Comparatives, and the top products are pretty good at blocking them. Calling them useless sounds more like your hopes than facts, like calling seatbelts useless because people die in car accidents.
Uninstalling Flash, Adobe reader, Office and JRE, and using Chrome with adblock also helps you enormously, but is still a far cry for any user having difficulties with finding the download-button from sourceforge.
Getting a signing cert is easy as just buying one from Honest Achmed's Used Cars and Certificates, so the only real use for signed software with malware protection is to manually maintain your own list of trusted signers.
It's a really sad truth that to this date the only effective way to almost fully stop malware is to take away the ability from people to do what they want with their computers.
All operating systems that have some way to allow people to run malware, will get malware. Windows, OSX, GNU, Android all can get infected quite easily. Then there's iOS where you cannot, and instead Apple decides which software you can or cannot run.
The downside is of course that you cannot run any software going against the corporate values of Apple.
If you want the right to shoot yourself in the foot, AV is the necessary evil you must have, unless of course you're sure you'll never visit a website that contains an exploit, old or zeroday, against you browser or its components, and you will never open a office document, PDF or executable that has malware in it. And even then you can get owned.
The funny thing is that we can measure reality with all kinds of instruments, and based on those measurements have been able to make theories (in the scientific meaning of the word) that have taken us to other planets of our solar system.
So yeah, I'd say our perception of reality is pretty okay.
Agile and was indeed the OOP Design Patterns of the late 2000s. Sure, there's many smart things in it, and many of those will survive, but when consultants started selling cargocultish dance moves you have to do to succeed, and where all failures happened because you were just not pure enough, it became as awkward as AbstractsSingletonFactories.
So the NYC HFH idea was indeed to use millions of federal money to kick out low-income families to the street in order to build houses for families who are better off than them? Damn, that's some ice cold ruthlessness.
It was in the 90s, especially after the Dr Dobbs article about it, and tons of late 90s and early 2000s games, like Grim Fandango, Baldurs Gate and Escape from Monkey Island used Lua due to its hotness.
