But withholding info on vulnerabilities is not an ethical position.
It depends on the circumstances, doesn't it? If you release a vulnerability that the vendor has no intention of fixing and people can't fix themselves, you just made it known to more bad guys and put more people at risk. And if you don't play the media right then no one pays any attention so you may not even get public pressure on the vendor to fix their shit.
I agree that WikiLeaks acts in the interests of WikiLeaks, but I don't think there's a one size fits all rule for the ethics of vulnerability disclosure.
I would say "start lists with the index that's the convention for your programming language." And the only language I know of off the top of my head that uses a starting index of 1 is Visual Basic, and if you're using VB you should probably just kill yourself.
That sounds retarded. I think a balanced approach is DRY. Do I ever find myself writing the same set of instructions twice? If so, make it function. Is it something that only gets written once? Inline it.
And at the moment, the only real way of communicating this? Comments describing the architecture.
A few years back I started incorporating UML diagrams into my design process. So before I start coding I draw out the architecture of the program, and this becomes part of the documentation. I find this useful for my own planning purposes to prevent constant refactoring, and if I need to explain the program to someone else, a picture is worth a thousand words.
Why are gender identity issues such a huge fucking deal? Who gives a shit.
Exactly. They are not a big deal. A society that tries to make a big deal out of them by cramming trannies into completely unrelated media, or tries to tell young people who have a mental illness that they are in fact "normal" and "healthy" is a sick society. Shut up about tranny shit in the media and let the mentally ill sort shit out with their therapists.
The environment is best handled by people closest to the environment. For instance you mentioned the Chesapeake Bay. That sounds like a problem for Virginians to solve. I don't live anywhere near Virginia. I should neither be telling the Virginians how to handle their bay, nor should I be taxed to pay for however they decide to handle it. Whatever decision they make will be more in keeping with their needs and the costs they want to pay than anything others could decide for them.
This is among the fundamental ideas of republicanism (small r): local decisions for local problems. Same thing with social issues like abortion where different regional cultures have different values. Overturning Roe v Wade wouldn't make abortion illegal. It would mean the states could decide for themselves the standards that fit their community. Utah would ban abortions outright. California would make taxpayer funded abortions the default option...you'd go into a hospital pregnant and they'd just auto sign you up for a free abortion unless you checked the "please don't murder my baby" box. Most states would make some limitation based what trimester you're in or exceptions or rape or incest or whatever. Let local people make local decisions, and then we don't have to be constantly fighting trying to find one size fits all solutions for 300 million people.
Because the things you're talking about liking are not functions of the federal government. Defense is.
This is the fundamental disconnect between the left and right in the US. The left thinks the government exists to do "good" or be some kind of extension of their morality. The right (and I meant the voters, not the politicians) believe the government should leave them the hell alone. Since you think the things the government does are "good" you can't comprehend that others are opposed to it.
The military budget did get slashed. President Obama in FY 2011 asked for $744 billion in defense spending, which was a drop of $140 billion over FY 2010.
In 2017 President Trump is asking for $574 billion, which is $180 billion less in defense spending than President Obama asked for in 2011.
And at least defense is a legitimate function of the federal government. Fixing the weather and giving money to foreigners, not so much.
Which is among the reasons I think the authors of the overtime rules only intended them to apply to those packing, whether packing for shipping or packing for distribution, not for those actually doing the shipping, or doing the distribution.
Also, what's the difference between "shipping" and "distribution?" In the context I think it still must be about the packing. So you've got packing for shipping, in which case the fish are loaded into the truck of a transport company, and packing for distribution, which could include the owner of a fish market or even an end customer collecting the packed fish themselves.
At the end of the day I think the overtime exemptions were only intended to apply to people processing/packing the fish, not people transporting the fish after processing/packing. And for good reason. The time-constrained seasonal part is the processing. Once they're dried or frozen and packed away they can be stored. There's a reason the fish MUST be processed immediately, overtime be damned. There is no reason for them to be shipped immediately.
And this is barely what the EPA does anymore anyway. They're just a political organization pushing commie crap. Watch as their budget is cut and yet the air is still breathable and the water still drinkable.
You really care if a 90 year-old illegal immigrant gets a meal that you subsidize to the tune of 3%? You must be one of those "Christian conservatives" I keep hearing about.
I am a Christian conservative, actually! The difference is I solve the problem of hungry seniors by donating to my church's food drive 1st Sunday of every month instead of forcing my neighbors to give money to the federal government to distribute (after our betters in Washington DC have taken a healthy slice for themselves, natch). You must be one of those "filthy commies" I keep hearing about.
You can't just leave some milk or fish out in the warehouse just because your shift is done. It has to be moved into a refrigerated area. However, this is not a problem for the hourly worker to resolve. Somewhere the process is broken.
That system is called "mother nature." These are seasonal jobs, so it's 14+ hours a day for the 3 months or whatever the fish are in season and then nothing for 9 months. If they had to follow the same rules for overtime as a factory where you can just turn off the widget machine at the end of the shift the industry wouldn't exist.
It seems to me by the guidelines they should have moved "packing for shipping" to the end of the list then.
"The canning, processing, preserving, freezing, drying, marketing, storing, distribution or packing for shipment of: (1) Agricultural produce; (2) Meat and fish products; and (3) Perishable foods."
Since they didn't, "packing for" must refer to both shipping and distribution.
Damages. "They did thing X which cost me $Y. Give money pls." That's how civil lawsuits work.
In reality, most states already regulate themselves pretty well, and cutting EPA funding for more climate change research (what's to research? It's already settled science!) will have no effect. Water will stay clean, air will stay fresh, fewer industries will be crushed by pointless over-regulation, more folk in flyover country will have jobs and feel better about the state of the country come 2020, Trump will be re-elected, and you will remain eternally assblasted for all time.
But doesn't federal funding only account for about 3% of Meals on Wheels' budget? I wonder how many illegal immigrants Meals on Wheels feeds? Why, catapult enough illegal Mexican rapists back over the wall and nobody will even notice the 3% funding cut!
Courts deciding local issues on a case by case basis sounds much better than politically motivated scientists setting rules from a 1,000 miles away, yes.
Back in the real world though, here's what's going to happen. EPA funding will be slashed. You're going to be buttmad. Nothing is really going to change in the environment, the water will be fine, the air will be fine. Fewer industries will be crushed by unnecessary regulation, the economy will grow, more people out in flyover country will have jobs and be generally happy with the state of the country, and Trump will be re-elected. You will continue to be assblasted. Eternally. Forever and ever and ever, absolutely shitter-shattered.

I will put as much logic and reason into my response to you as you put in your response to me: u r a faget.
Oh wow, a strawman argument starting with "ow wow." You must win a lot of internet arguments.

The daily catch, not so much.
Oh no. Some shitty government workers are getting axed and are no longer living off the taxpayers. World...ending...how could he...
And I guess the voters will show him in 2020. Trump might only get 3% of the votes in Washington D.C. instead of 5%.

So long as I get fixed roads and bridges, who the hell cares?
You don't need the EPA for that.
And this is barely what the EPA does anymore anyway. They're just a political organization pushing commie crap. Watch as their budget is cut and yet the air is still breathable and the water still drinkable.
It's not like they're not getting paid well. It's just a different type of industry for which the standard rules don't work well.
So you can jack up regulation as much as you want and industry will never leave? Huh.

I have to agree. It's not tech, but it sure is News for Nerds. Great pick.

Oh no, you might actually have to show real damages, rather than just decree compliance with arbitrary numbers!
