Geeze, if only there was a way to pay one amount each month and get all these services and content from one aggregator who also provides the inbound pipe. Might this be called - I dunno - "Pipe TV"? Naw, how about "Cable TV"? That might fly.

These content/streaming companies are just making things much worse over the cable situation and will certainly force a certain number of people into piracy, and a certain number will just quit watching, and a certain number of people will just keep on building their own Plex server, even if they have to buy the DVDs at retail (which is certainly not a bad thing). The problem is some of the new content remains streaming only, not available at retail, so back to piracy you go.

Congratulations to all the decision makers in this industry.

Edit: an example of what I'm talking about:

I'm a USA resident and a big fan of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. For years I was able to buy a "pass" to stream all of practice, qualifying, and the race, from the FIA (who runs the race). A year or to ago - nope, no more, you have to sign up with "Motor Trend TV" or something like that, buy a subscription, and stream it from there. Not going to happen, I don't need another monthly subscription service that may make it difficult to cancel. I can literally NOT give the FIA my money to stream their race. So what do I do? You know ...
Depends on how much this Video Spotify would pay them, versus how much they can charge for their own offering. If you can get $10 * N subscribers, that's a better deal than $1 * 5N subscribers. They're only shooting themselves in the foot if the amount they're losing to piracy (which I think is vastly overestimated by HN readers, most people wouldn't know how to pirate a movie if their lives depended on it) is greater than the amount they're gaining by charging more.

(The reason Spotify is able to work is because in several large media markets, like the US, there is an existing regulatory regime and contract situation built for AM/FM radio, which allowed Spotify to get large catalogs at predefined rates. Spotify works because ASCAP and BMI existed.
Well let's be honest: what we all clamored for years to get was a la carte.

We got it but it's more expensive than we envisioned it.
The way it works is that the location is encrypted with a key that is only on your device, same as iMessage. So they can't directly decrypt that info.

It's possible in theory they could add hooks into the OS to then do that next time you use the key (e.g. effectively a baked in backdoor) or maybe in some cases the key can be extracted from an iCloud backup or similar (I'm not 100% sure how those keys are stored, but it's likely detailed in their security documentation) but in general the service itself cannot see the encrypted device location.
What's so burdensome about payroll processing? It seems straightforward enough.
It must be AOL. AOL runs Verizon's Mail.

When I clicked to check my Netscape Mail, which I have never had, I was taken to an AOL.com mail login page. Plus, the Netscape page attempts to load AOL resources.
Disney is producing a lot of series. They had a bunch already kids stuff. But the Mandalorian, Wandavision, Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki, and tons more in the pipeline.
I've to admit that I could not figure out that this is or not an April fool Joke.

I'm a phone minimalist/essentialist. I did started early with "smart" phones and was on the forefront of most new phones, including being one of the early iPhone users. However, I did realize that this was not good for the lifestyle I want to live. So, I've been leading a No-Phone-ish Life[1] by early 2011.

The screen greyscale thing do not work with me. The one key app that I need color is Maps (Google/Apple).

Someone in the comments mentioned pairing your phone with a Watch. Yes, this works. I have practically stopped using the phone in and around the house or even while walking/running down in the community spaces where I live.

I thought that was from his comment. Did I miss a later one?

It was paid; it succeeded in getting Netflix to write them a check. And it may not be strictly "prioritization", but to me the intent means more than the letter.
This honestly sounds like a manager saying 'from now on I want everyone to log when they arrive to work into this Excel file shared from my laptop so that I can look at it and see how we're doing attendance-wise', completely disregarding whether that approach is feasible or worthwhile, if there's a better solution, or if it's just going to confuse and frustrate everyone.

I never thought I would compare RMS to the clueless manager stereotype, but this 'I don't understand it so it's obviously a problem' attitude is just… ignorant.
You don't get protection from the 5th without actually using it. He didn't have to talk to the police/TSA/FBI/DHS but he willingly did. If he simply said 'I don't want to talk' and shut up that would've been the end of the questioning - but obviously not the ordeal.
> since there's no proof of his story, his story sits in doubt. Right?

Not for me. The author has more credibility in my eyes than any employee of the TSA.

> Is there reason for me to automatically doubt the sincerity of those who tested him?

Since they lied to him through the entire ordeal ("We’ll just be a few minutes, and then you’ll be able to go."), the rest of their declarations are equally suspect.
The term "concentration camp" really only came to mean "death camp" during/after WWII. Before then it was used more or less literally, a camp where people are concentrated (which is not to say that they were not often brutal and deadly... but the purpose of the camps was not extermination)
Thought this was going to be a modernized Yatta! and I left disappointed.
You mean the reporter who drove around in circles trying to kill the car off and lied about the heater settings he used, also in an attempt to kill the car? I think you missed the whole week there where the actual drive data proved he was a fraud.
Many people will unabashedly say that they believe healthcare to be special. It's not uncommon to hear people say that they don't believe profit motive has any place in healthcare. I don't buy it. I don't see how healthcare is any more special than, say, food production (both are obviously vital to health), yet I think most people have come around to recognizing that profit motive is a spectacular way to organize the production and distribution of food.
I don't think that is what set it apart. It was probably having a software program (iTunes), that could work with your hardware and manage your library. Not sure when they introduced the shop.
I tend to apply some expectation on him as well as the TSA.
He knows they might think he's fasting. Say: I ran out the door and didn't have a chance to get breakfast. I'm pretty hungry.
He knows that they might be suspicious of religiosity. Explain the details of your trip.
Yes he doesn't have to and it should have been easier for him, but use some common sense.
It's the same reason that when you're pulled over for speeding 5 over you don't refuse to answer any questions. You try to be polite and hope the officer will let you off with a warning. The likely outcome is better.
I imagine high voltage stimulation of other areas would increase performance too.
It's supposed to be clunky. It's meant to be displayed fullscreen on a high resolution display.
How long before we have robot programmers?
Backbone uses proper prototypal inheritance ... so I'm not sure which "most libraries" he's comparing to there.

In fact, Spine doesn't use "JavaScript's native prototypal inheritance", which, if we're being honest, is the use of constructor functions with prototype properties. It uses an emulated version of Object.create:

https://github.com/maccman/spine/blob/master/spine.js#L79-11...

... which, even when natively implemented, is quite a bit slower than the real thing:

And here I was thinking this would be an article about baseball... Must be the haze of a new baseball season fogging my brain; I should have known better!
I know that Network Solutions does that, but I don't think namecheap.com does that. I hit one domain a few times while testing and it was always available.
Calling out social networking for being trivial is a bad analysis of what social networking is all about. Your social networking experience is defined by your friends and what you choose to socialize about. Scoble is socializing about mobile apps, and technology. I'm sure he has a whole raft of very insightful posts, balanced by more mundane ones like the example in the article.

In my experience, some friends post consistently interesting and thought provoking links and paragraphs. Others post about their coffee habits. That mirrors my "real life" experience of interacting with them. Why is there this expectation that online socializing should be inherently more profound than real life socializing?
I thought those Seinfeld and Bill Gates ads were great.
I'll try that, though it's not perfect for me. I'm fine with CLI, but my use case for AirDroid is usually dropping some photos from my phone into someone else's computer, while we're on the same network.

Come to think of it, maybe I could just spin up a HTTP server on the phone with Termux, and serve the DCIM directory. And then wrap it into a homescreen icon via Tasker.
Exactly. His point is well stated too, and ironically the grandparent in this thread fell victim to the mode of thought the author of the linked comment cautions against.
The main catch (which may also be a plus) is that the Joyent set of technologies is quite opinionated about how to manage a cloud, so you more or less have to "buy in" and do things its way. Your node OS will be SmartOS, nodes will be PXE-booted, your filesystem will be ZFS, the network topology will work in a specific way, etc. More practically, it also takes some time to be proficient in operating it (or even just get it working), because there are quite a few moving parts. Getting a SmartDataCenter deployment running, and then things like Manta and now sdc-docker running on top of it, is more than an afternoon's work. But if you're willing to buy in to the system and its choices fit your needs, it's really well engineered, imo much more "done right" than e.g. OpenStack is.
It's definitely a very slow database. You have to be extremely fortunate to have a problem that fits into its niche neatly. I'd sooner figure out a historical insert-only schema for PostgreSQL in future. They're not great about fixing problems with Datomic either, it feels like an afterthought. Means of overflowing labor not currently allocated to a Cognitect contract gig, not a priority in its own right.

I recommend reading Infinite Jest.
ActorDB is quite similar
I briefly looked into the section on general relativity and did not find the explanation particularly enlightening. A proper entirely geometrical description of curvature can be found in Mathematical Methods of Classical Mechanics (p. 301 ff.) by Arnold, although it is probably not accessible to a lay person. Penrose's "The Road to Reality" should be more accessible and seems to be of higher quality than the web site linked.
> I'd call him a douche, but this is a clear case of don't hate the player, hate the game.

In other words: put too much effort in networking, and hate yourself for being a douche. Put too little effort in networking and hate yourself for missing out on opportunities.

Like most things in life, it's about finding a balance that works for you.
Doesn't the federal government enjoy pretty nearly complete immunity from its own laws? In practice that seems to be the case, anyway.
Imperfect as it is, money is the best available measurement of usefulness of a product or service to other people. There's nothing wrong with doing useless things for the hell of it, but attempting to put it on a morally high ground is ridiculous.
A critical part of F-35 problems was developed so far away from Skunkworks it is technically a separate company (still part of the wider Lockheed-Marting Concern) - the Lockheed-Marting Global Training & Logistics.

Having encountered the quality (hahahah ... sob) they produce personally, I'm totally unsurprised US Navy and USMC could find funding a new fleet of space satellites cheaper than re-bribing enough senators to get ALIS (and now ODIN) contract reassigned to someone competent.
This reads like PR speculators use when they don't want to be honest. BTC turned out to be an insane investment over its lifespan. It is comical to not even mention this. It seems completely obvious that 99% of the public sentiment is built on the back of this. Everything else is fluff that will change to other fluff when it stops being true.
Avionics software resembled k8s before k8s was designed. Sure, some of the most problematic bits don't exist due to static assignment, but the difference is not that big. Including presence of virtual overlay networks.

Anyway, k8s is mostly for lower-criticality software to be quickly added/removed, iirc, partly because unlike the normal avionics setup it allows dynamic addition/removal.
Comments moved thither. Thanks!

(This was a fine submission, but the other submission was earlier and arguably gives more interesting background than the press release does, so it makes sense to merge the threads.)
They should try qigong.

It’s movement meditation and has existed for thousands of years.

Probably there was a reason why the Chinese didn’t find weight training and endurance exercises as useful, although it was as accessible to them as it is to us.

Difficult to do in rats though.
Why would they need to convince people to get a brain implant, when they can already convince them to just stare at a small screen, which they take with them everywhere, already? It just seems like extra cost and also harder to sell yearly upgrades.

Now, for people with spinal injuries, etc. then this totally seems like a good thing to be investigating.
I should add that I also use Firebase Hosting for my static site and SPA needs.
You must go to the Scrolling Autonomy Rebellion site for that. Unfortunately it is very low contrast.
I reassign my Caps lock key as a third level modifier. That way I can type { with Caps Lock + 7. Caps lock is so large I can comfortably use my pinky and ring finger to press and hold it, while I use my right hand to press 7, 8, 9 or 0 for {, [, ], } respectively.
I have hybernation working fine with root and swap under lvm in a luks encrypted partition. Pretty sure when I set up ubuntu 16.04 or 18.04 it just worked out of the box. Though sound doesn't like to come back properly for the headphone jack and I need to rmmod/modprobe the driver.
Matthew Green's tweet[0] has now sent me down the rabbit hole again as I was trying to figure out where the IAS's certificate gets verified. (Without verification the IAS's attestation that the enclave's quote carries the correct signature would obviously be worthless.) I wanted to find out whether it gets pinned or whether Signal trusts a CA. It seems to be the latter:

https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/blob/6ddfbcb9451...

For completeness, let's also have a look at where the CA certificate(s) come(s) from. The PKIX parameters[1] are retrieved from the trustStore aka iasKeyStore which, as we follow the rabbit hole back up, gets instantiated here:

https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/blob/6ddfbcb9451...

As we can see, the input data comes from

https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/blob/6ddfbcb9451...

`R.raw.ias` in line 20 refers to the file `app/src/main/res/raw/ias.store` in the repository and as we can see from line 25 it's encrypted with the password "whisper" (which seems weird but it looks like this a requirement[2] of the API). I don't have time to look at the file right now but it will probably (hopefully) contain only[3] Intel's CA certificate and not an even broader one. At least this is somewhat suggested by the link I posted earlier:

https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/blob/master/libs...

In any case, it seems clear that the IAS's certificate itself doesn't get pinned. Not that it really matters at this point. Whether the certificate gets pinned or not, an attacker only needs access to the IAS server, anyway, to steal its private key. Then again, trusting a CA (and thus any certificate derived from it) obviously widens the attack vector. OTOH it might be that Intel is running a large array of IAS servers that come and go and there is no guarantee on Intel's part that a pinned certificate will still be valid tomorrow. In this case, the Signal developers obviously can't do anything about that.

Your distilled summary of this form of objection relying on wishful thinking made my day, thanks a lot!
Evergreen, now there's a euphemism. :-)

I appreciate, in the end you have to do what gets you the most views, however, from my perspective missing out the date means you prefer to waste my time as I have to scan the article until I get a feel for how old it is.

I would read anything written within 6 months and would consider up to 12 months if the information was high quality. It's not like we're overburdened with quality, independent, information.

If your going to be business minded, why not have the date on for the first few months and remove it when the first flush of green has gone. ;-)
it is. regardless of python3 progress. But nowadays it's easier to name the project that does not support python3 http://py3readiness.org/

Do you have an example of an organization that works this way, 100% automated? It's hard to think of a system that can be 100% foolproof, there is always someone somewhere that has to trigger something manually, and that 's the weak spot.
I think you just misunderstand the sentence. It describes the setting of the novel.

I can't see the US ever adopting a single payer health care system. However I do think they could adopt a health care justice system.

The US cares a lot about justice, and free markets. Some kind of well funded, and empowered FBI system for ensuring citizens get fair value for the money spent.
I agree. As long as there's scarcity, there's someone trying to exploit it.

I think it could be better to just accept that unique global names are not a great idea, and start identifying parties by certificates rather than name. Various chain of trust & reputation type arrangements can be used to ensure people won't confuse Their Bank (certificate issued by/for Their Bank) for Their Bank (certificate issued by & for scammer in Ukraine). Legit entities will have every reason to include information that minimizes likelihood of confusion.

Come on, I can have more than one James Smith in my phone's contact book too.. let's stop fighting over names.
The crazy thing is the economic trade off here. Those batteries are around half the cost of the car. So splitting the two would make the car that much cheaper while the battery could be like a lease program.
Well, in Serbia, by law it is regulated that every school must have a police officer [with a gun+tazer+spray deterrent] at the location at ALL times, and there are random inspections that may actually fine the cop and the school principal if anything wasn't done according to the regulation.

So, there's no need for students and teachers to carry guns, because there is an actual cop there. In this case it's not specified where was the police officer and why didn't they intervene. I checked on Serbian news sites, there is no info.

However, carrying guns is technically legal as long as you pass a psychological, psychiatrial and practical exams, and pay for the license which renews periodically, as well as buying the gun from a legitimate source and registering it's make, model, and other details in the national database.

Though, we do have 4K facial recognition cameras that send data to China (partnership between Ministry of Interior, Telecom Serbia and Huawei) on every 2nd utility pole throughout the capital. And they actually send you tickets for not wearing a seat belt or jaywalking if a camera records you and recognizes you. All adult citizens have their fingerprints recorded as well as a face model for automatic identification and profiling by the government of China which then shares that info with our police. And the cameras are all equipped with 4G modems and batteries so you can be sure they will transmit the data no matter what.

Yet crime still happens, because, the cameras will maybe prevent not wearing a seat belt or jaywalking, but obviously not someone shooting a bunch of kids. In this case, that PE teacher was worth more than a multi-million euro project with the Chinese telecom giant.

edit: If you want to know more about the cameras, here's a handy article in English by CBS News: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/china-huawei-face-recognition-c...
Yes to cybernetics. Its day will come again! If you go deep, it's a rabbit hole to discover why teleology in science is so controversial. Wiener said cybernetics started from the idea that Intelligence is all about decreasing local entropy.
I'm talking only about the numbers, 800, 900, 1000, 1100, 1200, etc. That is, counting by hundreds on the hundred.

So your point does not contradict mine.
The title seemed misleading. Intel TXT, the hardware, can be used by any open source project. It's just not been a priority for open source BIOS projects. I was hoping that the source code for the ACMs or the FSP had been made available.

The Authenticated Code Modules (ACMs) needed for TXT are software blobs, but you can disassemble them if you want to find out what they do.

Well, even if it wasn't a post/pre install, even a node library can fork that exact command, upload your home directory, etc.

That's actually the reason it isn't just dangerous if run as root. Many people have huge amounts of sensitive information and data with read and write access.

A library could of course also fetch even more data. One could create an npm based botnet.
