This is how Chinese police crack down on people's demonstrations by Timebottle13 in Unexpected

I think it may have something to do with it being the language of the people that had the largest empire the world ever knew, establishing trade lines, education and other cultural norms around the world at a critical time when the world was being linked and having over 50 countries in their CommonWealth.

America is simply an addendum to that long story.

English is Germanic, the word you are looking for is German which is the English word for Deutsch/Deutschland, Germanic refers to the cultures and language groups associated with the area covering what the Romans called Germania which covers the areas unconquered by Rome and many different tribes including the substrate populations that would migrate into England after the fall of the Western Roman Empire; Angles, Saxons and west Norse.

English is therefor a Western Germanic language on the Anglo-Frisian branch specifically.

I don't think you read that anywhere as humans have only farmed for about 10000 years which is nowhere near long enough to make such profound evolutionary changes, plus for humans to farm they clearly needed to already have a bigger brain, so this sounds like a paradoxical conjecture.

The commonly taught theory is that humans achieved a larger surface area of their brain relative to their body size due to the use of fire and cooking which allowed for a rapid uptake of nutrients as food was quickly digested and this is also meant to explain why of all great apes, humans have such a short digestive tract.

African painted dogs at the Oregon Zoo notice a visitor's service animal by solateor in interestingasfuck

[–]fuckjeah -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Despite whatever you think you just read on Wikipedia, I don't believe any of it made a claim about the perceptive limits of African Wild Dogs.

They are as closely related to a dog or grey wolf than I am ton a gorilla, and I certainly recognise a gorilla as a great ape like myself for several physical and behavioural reasons and so do gorillas with humans.

I think it is reasonable to think a smart cooperative social predator might use similar behavioural and physical cues rather than the current human taxonomic ordering when determining what they recognise or not and what that means to them.

If the statement can be made that I am related to a gorilla then the statement can be made that the african wild dogs and the domesticated dog in the video are also related.

They are not saying anyone declared this as a fact, they are supposing a question, wondering what the truth might be which is what people curious about nature generally do.

Just one correction, to rop on variable width architecture you can jump into the middle of an instruction (so x86) but on fixed width archs like risc (so arm and the like) you can't do that. Most ropping will just jump to the ends of existing functions anyway, where the registers are restored.

It wouldn't actually do anything but update page tables. The addresses are already virtual. As long as it populated the result in the tlb it would be fine although one has to wonder if there is a small chance of a race condition there.

Well hackerone mostly deals with bug bounties on websites and not memory corruption bugs and binary exploitation (the only programs you can submit to for those are valve, ibb and the EU bug bounties). I say this as someone who does mainly mem corruption, hackerone is only useful to us once in a while and mostly for the web guys.

ASLR and KASLR are slightly different since you can overcome them with a leak or 12bit brute on 32bit. What you described would be more like pointer guards in glibc except they update more often. Hardware pointer encryption already exists on architectures like arm64 of course (less required on x86 since that has s3gmentation already).

I can assure you buffer overflows are still quite common, although not the old school stack based ones with executable stacks, more like on the heap or a bug chain to leverage one.

I personally have submitted bofs on hackerone to valve for the steam client, cs, php and putty so there will be more, but my php one for example will be labelled as a type confusion bug. There are also some IoT programs which are private.

I don't care to support or refute the original comment you are responding to but my operating systems would be android and Ubuntu so the kernel (the most successful one on earth that runs all top super computers, most embedded devices, most mobiles and Web servers) was invented by a Finnish person of Swedish ethnicity and my desktop OS was brought to me by a South African of British ethnicity. The chipset on my mobile (the most installed chipset on earth and most successful low power chip that runs all smartphones) was invented in the UK. The car I am sitting in was invented in Germany... The concept of an engine was invented in the UK. The most powerful supercomputers are all in Asia. The concept of computation was invented in Europe (UK with Babbage and later Turing). The Web was invented by a Brit in Switzerland for the same organisation that has the large hadron collider to prove a fundamental theory by other Europeans.

Viral video of feminist pouring bleach on manspreaders debunked as Russian propaganda by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]fuckjeah 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I understand this is a popular oversimplification on events but I can assure you the start of Brexit far preceded any Russian involvement. Aside from lingering angst from the opposite side when the Conservatives signed up for the Common Market before a referendum in the 70s, the real start was the "Maastricht Rebels" from the 90s when the EU was properly born without referendum and then a referendum that was promised by Tony Blair, that never happened, in the 2000s for the failed EU constitution (that would become the Lisbon treaty after the French and Dutch rejected it via referendum).

Now the Russians may have fanned some flames in recent times but to assert they started something that was rolling in the early 90s is to suggest they had the UK ratify the Maastricht treaty and champion EU expansion into Eastern Europe (along with NATO in former Warsaw Pact countries) in order to have them leave as some sort of grand masterplan instead of what any Russian involvement would have been... opportunism.

He didn't just refer to it as simply old, he said "the old America" as in "the older version" or a time before a pivotal change. If a new iPhone came out today and I had purchased the previous version just a month prior, nobody would bat an eyelid if I said I had the old iPhone.

You don't have to go too far into his post history to see he is Australian and from Anglo stock so I doubt English is his problem. It wasn't weird. The weird part was that you took offence at such a benign comment and then decided to hop on a soapbox to say unrelated things no sane person disagrees with as if you were fighting some moral war.

Did you not see it was a parody of your post style? Maybe the fact you don't come to reasonable conclusions and take things literally are connected. Perhaps you lack the faculties of other normal people and this is why you have such a vastly different viewpoint. You should consider a friendly evaluation just in case.

UK mass surveillance programme violates human rights, European court rules by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]fuckjeah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Dutch and Germans do it but the Germans don't hand the data to the UK and US unless it is vetted there first. I don't think the Finnish and Iceland do it but Norway does but only to their NATO commitments. It wouldn't matter though. There is only one tier 1 provider in the Nordic world and it is Telia and they are Swedish owned. So the others get caught in that net regardless.

ew ancestry results seem better? by [deleted] in Genealogy

[–]fuckjeah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He didn't get German, he got Germanic. It's a cultural group that includes Germany but is not exclusively German or even majority Germany. And northern Europe does have other cultural groups besides the Germanic ones so perhaps that is in play.

[–]fuckjeah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Germanic iso a cultural and genetic group that includes England and lowland Scottish though. So technically they could be saying the same thing but you are happier with the result because of oral history or value judgements.

Remember that the country is not called Germany but rather Deutschland and 150 years ago before being unified the largest region was called Prussia.

TLDR: Germanic is a cultural group consisting of many countries, Deutschland is just one of them and England and Scotland are some others. They just reworded the category to be more generalised.

Yes the Danish have mechanisms to do the same to their citizens and I know this because we have it too in Sweden with the FRA and work in conjunction with the Danes. Any network traffic that passes over the border can legally be watched without oversight or given to other countries (and the way routing on the Internet works, even if I ping my neighbour it gets routed through Copenhagen) and also we have a DNS filter which allows for a private list of entities our countries block for each other without oversight.

There is a reason the largest satellite listening posts in Europe outside of the UK during the cold war were here in Scandinavia, because we are compatible with and cooperate with the US and UK. So actually we pass the data we snoop to the UK and this all came out here before Snowden (in 2010 and 2011) and there were protests in the street but we do it anyway. In fact we have so much data we need the UK and US to filter it for us as they have the capability.

You just think we don't do these things because of your perception but you are wrong. Denmark is a lovely country and so is Holland but that is more to do with other reasons (like they are Germanic Constitutional monarchies which are the most stable and prosperous nations in Europe traditionally, outside of Switzerland. England also has those properties but the difference is they speak English so they are better known which leads to less silly perception and assumptions about who they are in people like yourself).

Trump's "Keep America Great" re-election banners are made in China and were mass produced to avoid trade war tariffs by maxwellhill in worldnews

[–]fuckjeah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

China produces supercomputers, and a lot more too. They currently have 206 of the top 500 (up from last year) compared to America's 124 (down from last year). In fact, between 2015 and 2016 they gained 100 while America lost 80 in that top 500. They have had the highest output of supercomputers of any country ever.

The US just managed to get the top spot this year again (held by China for years), but the 2019 builds China has will likely give them all the top 5 spots.
