You probably meant to say that they are decoupled.

Can it actually decrypt FileVault? Thunderstrike can not directly decrypt FileVault keys, but it does record the password the user types in to decrypt an encrypted boot volume and could use other data exfiltration techniques to send the key to the attacker's system.

>I'm not sure how credible are those stats,

The author himself doesn't believe them. Here's what he (Peter Rez) says in the paper this is based on:

>The major public health effect of concern at low doses of ionizing radiation is cancer. There is clear evidence of cancer induction at effective dose above about 200 mSv. Below an effective dose of about 100 mSv radiogenic cancer mortality risk estimates for all cancers is highly uncertain. 16 It is not possible to determine reliably whether a radiogenic risk is present in an X-ray screening population because of the high spontaneous incidence of cancer and multifactorial nature of disease causation 17.

>Use of collective dose to estimate public health impacts when large populations are exposed to trivial doses is inappropriate and not reasonable. The assumptions implicit in the collective dose calculation conceal large biological and statistical uncertainties.16 If an individual passenger is not harmed by X-ray screening then the population isn’t either.

Edit: Just realized a key difference, I'm used to the GCSE reading lists not the US-style 'Required' Reading list. I remember getting Terry Pratchett novels in my reading list.

A defacto ban is "We're removing it from our reading list, removing it from our library... but we not discouraging our students from reading the book". Removing it from a reading list isn't a defacto ban, it's modernization. If the kids at a specific school don't seem to respond well to a text, PULL IT. I don't care what text, even if it's one of my own beloveds just PULL IT and put in something the children will read and will learn from.

Brave New World is a classic, beyond perhaps, but if kids today aren't learning from it then so long. For every new book that goes on the list, an old one is going to come off of it. I'd much rather see kids get something like Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett that they'll respond to. Fuck, give them Harry Potter or a goddamn Halo novel if the kids will actually read it.

One is more or less out of our control.

The other is within our control. Why voluntarily subject yourself to more risk?
ClojureQL forms are composable abstractions. One can let a clojureql query, execute it, do x with the results, add a where clause and get back another set of results-- all without any code repetition.
Same thing with "It's just like Hitler!", "It's not what the founding father's wanted!", etc.

I many times support the formal logic requirement.
In Atlanta, startups wear "bootstrap-financed" like a badge of honor but I argue that unless you have a strong technologist co-founder and a really talented founding team generally, you simply must get funding to build a team to get serious traction. However, the angels and big VC firms here are looking for the huge deals of old and B2B plays. I know of no local angels here who invest in the consumer internet or real time data space other than a couple of really small investments made following Shotput Ventures.

Look how differently investing operates in the Valley (to which Atlanta has now lost at least 3 very promising entrepreneurs in the last 2 years). Look at super angels like Ron Conway of SV Angel LLC who has invested in 40-50 plays in the real time data space this year: http://www.crunchbase.com/person/ron-conway. These are relatively small deals, capital light -- but they do require some rounds of investment and are not bootstrapped.

It isn't just Atlanta. Boston and other cities outside of the Valley lose entrepreneurs for money, too. An example is WePay, whose founders are Boston College grads who didn't get into Tech Stars Boston but were accepted at Y Combinator last summer to test their beta product. After Demo Day, they recruited a couple more team members from the east coast and relocated to Palo Alto. They've recently raised a $1.65M round from August Capital, Ron Conway, Max Levchin (a founder of PayPal) and an A-list of other investors in their space.

Maybe a few startups survive bootstrapping and flourish, but most are just "strapped" and fold.
If you can make it to Silicon Valley, and especially Stanford, I would run (not walk) in that direction as soon as possible.

The article does surprise me. I assumed people were regularly (at least one a month) downloading new apps and trying them out... I guess I'm definitely in the minority. I like to explore the app store and see what's new. In any given day, I'll be using apps for facebook, instagram, twitter, snapchat, product hunt, mail, safari, nest, hangouts, alien blue, and soundcloud. And when I find a new website that interests me, I usually check if there is a corresponding app.
It also reduces choice. I'd rather have higher pay and select my housing than have lower pay and be forced into this limited selection of subsidized housing.

On which specific part?

E.g. networking research has ton of these kind of papers:
http://conferences.sigcomm.org/hotnets/2006/estan06achieving...

They never go beyond modeling and simulation because, if you read such works, you can see that it is extremely hard to adopt such schemes.

Even between ISPs and content providers they endup with just 2-3 major pricing Tiers, because the added benefit if accounting more tiers is diminishing:

Obviously, you have never had a masterful sandwich.
Might mention that the website in question is satire...
I'm wondering out loud, what would the repercussions, from a behavioral standpoint be, if everyone wore something like google glass. Would almost everyone turn into "law"-abiding persons? Would that even be desirable? I'm sure drunk, or otherwise in an altered state of mind, people would still act quite unruly. But what would the effect be on regular people? Would it be mostly chilling, or a kind of werdly pleasant place where people act nice because getting away with "unlawful behavior" would be much more difficult? Gone would be some adolescent rites of passage...

It could become the ultimate case of people policing each other (in the sinister neighborhood watch committees sense --ala Cuba, Vietnam, etc.)
Been using to monitor 4 servers too. It's even better with the chrome plugin :)
I don't think it does make that clear. It says "safety levels better than 5 stars are captured in the overall Vehicle Safety Score (VSS) provided to manufacturers" but the VSS value for the Tesla was 0.43 according to the blog post. So where did the 5.4 come from? Extrapolation?
> They see this in an extremely black and white way.

Of course they do. That's why they're harassing people that dissent from their black and white views.
Holy hell. For what little it's worth, I am so sorry you had to go through that.

There is so much horrifying with that story it makes me shudder.
I have heard discussion that those in control were worried about dropping a nuke over Germany for fear that, should it not explode, it would wind up in the hands of enemy scientists. Japan was not considered capable of repaiting and turning around such a device. Some artillery and anti-aircraft shells during WWII were not permitted to be used over land for similar reasons.

The timelines, the actual dates that the bombs became available, are a little secondary imho as this was a multi-year developmental program. I still doubt they would have dropped a bomb on germany for a variety of reasons both technological and sociological.
If somebody gives me a ThreadRipper I promised to do some performance investigations. I keep meaning to update my fractal program (Fractal eXtreme) to support more than 64 threads and that would give me a good excuse (processor group support is needed).

Anyone? Got a spare one lying around?
And if I stand in the rain because i'm waiting for a black cab or the other app don't have driver's in my area, I get more wet.
Private prisons seem to be a good counterexample here. Not only does the profit motive lead to inhumane conditions and perverse corruption, such as the Chicago(?) judge getting a kickback for every juvenile sent into the system. The outsourcing of that "monopoly on power" OP decried exaggerates any problems inherent in the government<->citizen relation: civil servants at least have a certain professional ethos, swear an oath, are usually invested in a long-term career, have pensions to look forward to (and not risk), are subject to far more rules (FOIA etc), can mostly not escape liability through bankruptcy, and so on.

Privatised security is an almost prototypical dystopian nightmare. Look no further than TSA. Millgram might have fudged his data, but the idea that giving someone a uniform and power over others tends to awry is still somewhat plausible.

Other examples: those rent-a-goons shooting civilians in Iraq for sport. (With, by the way, double the salary and many military toys not relevant to the job at hand). The US health system also comes to mind, only that you would have even less choice to chose your local police short of moving.
Your claim is correct only between 1985 and 1995. Since 1995, Japan's economy has stagnated but UK's has grown significantly.

Indeed. A lot of the dismissers should have a walk through the Holocaust Memorial ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorial_to_the_Murdered_Jews_o... ) to "understand" how does it feel to enter an autocratic regime: When you just start walking, everything seems OK, columns all look the same height and you can easily see the other side. But suddenly you are in the middle of a huge maze with very tall walls, which does not seem to have an end in sight.

People won't realize the problem until it is too late.
Common Lisp:

(setf *a* nil)
(dotimes (x 3)
(push (lambda () x) *a*))
(mapcar #'funcall *a*)

prints (3 3 3 3) as well. I think the author is mixing up variable capture with scoping.
You bring up a good point, I've edited my comment. You'd need to add in a way to "depreciate" the refund.

For the cheating exception, I don't think it would be a problem. Most of those games have subscriptions, so there wouldn't be a lot to refund .
There's an old legal aphorism that goes, "If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts. If you have the law on your side, pound the law. If you have neither on your side, pound the table."

If I believe that and see someone pounding the table, I can make an inference about the ability of their position to stand up to scrutiny. I might be wrong in that inference, but IMO the lawyer with the facts or law on their side does their client a serious disservice if they choose to just bang the table.
Unfortunately, it really does. There's so many people who are unable or unwilling to turn a critical eye to the actions of these companies. This applies doubly to social and political issues. Amazon and ilk carefully weigh the options and make decisions according to their own interests.
> I would say that Reddit, despite its popularity, is notoriously mismanaged

That's what an MBA would say.
One of the issues here is that it's not even clear under which license the API should be covered. Does the existing software license also cover the API, or must it be explicitly defined?

What happens when an API is co-created by different software developers which each creates their own software under different licenses, through communications which themselves aren't explicitly licensed (like over email lists), and then summarize what they agree on in text instead of code (like the RFC process)?

At no point have either one of them explicitly given permission to use their respective contributions under another license. Even if they agree that the RFC text is public domain, that technically do not extend to implementations of the API which it describes (as those are different works!). And there exists no official reference code with legal approval from all contributors, whose license could be adopted by other developers.

It would be such a mess...
Philip Zimbardo, the psychologist behind the Stanford Prison Experiment, seems to think so. He has written a couple of books on the subject of deteriorating development of young men, and has suggested a correlation to the advent of high-speed internet.

Not sure if he's right, but it's certainly a reasonable theory.

He also did a TED talk briefly touching on the subject.

>Uber tells the drivers that they have to comply with ADA for legal reasons but if the drivers still don't then Uber is liable?

Yes, because they are employees of Uber and this is why they tried to argue that they were actually contractors to avoid liability.

>It kind of feels like me suing a grocery store because someone pushed me into a wall that was built by the store.

A better analogy would be Cashiers repeatedly refusing to check out a blind women's groceries.

>Uber could definitely do more (like banning drivers that don't comply and allowing passengers and drivers to indicate their disabilities in the app for example) but I don't see how this is Uber's fault more than the drivers'.

In the US at least all companies are beholden to the ADA and would certainly be liable to compliance. You seem to think that Uber drivers are not really employed by Uber which I don't think is a settled legal question but that argument was rejected in this case.

Although it's only one case, here's an NPR interview (http://www.npr.org/2015/03/10/392142452/florida-gov-scott-de...) discussing the governor of Florida's policy to avoid the term 'climate change'. Not sure if denying usage of the term is equivalent to denying its existence, but hopefully it's something.
Interesting thought, but if I wanted career advice I'd ask Hacker News, since I'm a software engineer and the folks here are a great resource. If I was a chef, I would ask for career advice from a similar online community or subreddit. Point being, an online community about a specific interest is where the experts for that topic would reside and those are the people I want to ask.

The value lies in those communties. Creating my own community platform is something I've been noodling for some time. Reddit is terrific, but it's cookie cutter and not exactly feature rich.
I am one of the worst people to give advice on "finishing" but you should definitely go on with this, it's a very good idea that can expand beyond your limited target audience (= just graphic designers). The web is full of "general" purpose tutorials for html, css, js, etc and this "general purpose" becomes "no purpose" in the end. If I am this random person that wants to learn how to make a website, I don't really care about learning all the details of the particular tools at this point, I care mostly about building what I want and "deploying". Then, maybe, I'd like to make it better, prettier, faster, etc etc. Your guide seems to attack this.
I don't think we need to worry about STEM being over-pushed. STEM degrees are self filtering. Math, engineering, and science are hard, and getting kids interested at science at a young age can motivate them only so far. Many will enroll, and when things get tough, a good portion will transfer to other majors.
If someone "steals" a seat then that's a seat that someone else cannot have. This is dramatically different from the case of digital media where there is no similar impact.

True, but:

a) when you sneak onto a train and get a free ride, it only works once. If you make a habit of this, you'll probably get caught. If you download a song illegally for free, you can listen to it for the rest of your life unless you lose or delete the copy you have.

b) the exclusion of another passenger in any case only becomes significant when the train is full. If the train is half-empty, you're riding for free but nobody else is worse off because there's an abundance of seats. Of course you have a tiny negative effect on the fuel consumption of the vehicle, but that's much less important than the principle.

c) In any case, when you ride without a fare your offense is against the train operator. You don't get sued/prosecuted by the passengers who had to wait for the next train. The issue is not whether or not there was a seat available to someone else, but whether or not the service provider received the due cost of the ride/song/whatever, which cost is levied for market availability rather than for availability to an individual buyer standing in line behind you.

Now I quite agree with you that there are so many economic incentives in favor of digital piracy and such perverse incentives for the publishers' preferred way of doing business, that something has got to give and that's why we're seeing such upheaval in the media industry. I just think that one a philosophical level the argument isn't as clear-cut as you are suggesting.
more potatoes than meat.
To be clear, there were bees in North America before the European Honeybee was introduced, and they did the pollinating and still do today to a small extent, but the European variety is simply more productive and domesticated. That's not to say that native bee species still around are anymore resistant to this systemic pesticide. You're splitting hairs here.

Summary: The rough idea of using centralized switching for parcel routing was in a paper for a class, but not much else.

Key quote: "in a 2002 interview Smith acknowledged that "I don't really remember what grade I got. I probably didn't get a very good one, though, because it wasn't a well-thought-out paper.""
You make it sound like throwing up a page about a specific keyword will help you rank after x days.

That is simply not the case, if I'm building 100 links per month & you're building 0 then my "time to rank" is going to be significantly shorter.

You need to be looking at the total number of links to the top domains, the percentage of links they have that contain the anchor text & other factors may include the inception date of the document/domain (linkresearchtools gives you this).
In general, publicly traded corporations are run by people aiming to get bonuses by maximizing shareholder value. Those shareholders could be very indirect, in particular for pension funds.

With this level of abstraction, the final shareholders usually are not (or don't want to be) aware of things done in their name. The situation makes it very easy to look the other way.

IMHO, Adam Smith would be disgusted about this.
I did this exact same thing, and I'm an "information wants to be free" hippy at heart, so for a long time it was my favorite debate point in favor of piracy. But, Adobe really pushes the "Student" version of their products nowadays, and they are way more affordable as well as completely identical to the real thing. The only difference is the licensing.

However, I guess the argument still exists for anyone who still can't afford it, or who wants to learn but isn't a student.
