Why TPP Threatens to Undermine One of the Fundamental Principles of Science
Maybe we got lucky, but unless we do BTO, we won't get other than Intel wifi there. Maybe the local Lenovo representatives really like our market :)

The last time I've seen something unsupported was T400 with ATI/Intel hybrid graphics. I disabled the ATI part, as Intel was good enough and ATI was crappy under Windows too. (the ATI part worked under Linux, but the switching between ATI and Intel didn't. So it was use one or another until reboot.)

For your NVS4200M gpu, didn't Ubuntu offer you an installation of restricted drivers? I vaguely remember that when you booted on such configuration, there was an icon in upper right tray that did exactly that.

The T403s (yes, Intel wifi and Intel graphics) that I'm using right now works out of the box in both Ubuntu and Fedora. On the other hand, when installing Windows 7, it's good to have ethernet driver and tvsu ready at usb stick. (Windows 8 works out of the box too).
Attitude as a Top Principle for a Successful Entrepreneur
> I am not dissing bug bounties, just noting that on a strictly economic basis, why would I throw a lot of money at 3% of the problem

Aren't the issues not found by Oracle the problem? I'm amazed that stil 23% of the externally found security issues are reported by researchers, the incentive to responsibly disclose security issues to Oracle isn't really big. It sounds like a cumbersome process with potential legal consequences.

There also are researchers(, maybe after a first bad experience about an EULA,) that sell security issues to the grey/black market. Is there any data on how many Java zero days are exploited in the wild before being fixed?

Changing your stance and being grateful for responsible disclosures and only using your EULA to threaten and sue the bad people can potentially save everyone with java installed from a few zero days at zero cost.

Mozilla has said that this requirement is set by one flag at build time, so building a version without this requirement should not be any more difficult than just compiling Firefox I have never done that, but I think it's slightly non-trivial. The hardest part though would be distributing the fork though, so a Linux distribution like Debian mentioned this change as others have mentioned would be one way to build a popular fork without this requirement.

checks the box for fusion?

more seriously, it could split the energy production to some ratio of fusion/fission and produce less hard to handle waste. Since the fusion reaction provides the neutron source, it may not be as necessary to provide as fissionable material which may not be able to meltdown?

About thinking before buying Lenovo...

I've bought a Lenovo notebook, wanted to download a copy of Windows from them (it's OEM), and searched on their forums for clues, since I didn't find anything on the site. This is what a moderator wrote

The most important part of being verified is that being verified also gives you an additional filter for interactions, only showing those from other verified accounts. If you consider the amount of junk @mentions public figures get, this lets them interact with (many of) their colleagues in the same way that normal people can.
You can trade volatility of volatility (e.g. VIX options), or even volatility-of-volatility-of-volatility -- except the greater the degree of derivative, the fewer options you have to trade using publicly-listed securities. Also, even if there are publicly-listed securities, the lesser the liquidity and thus the harder/impossible to get in-out of trades.

This can work if you are a big firm with access to private contractual derivatives, but you would still suffer from the 2nd problem: liquidity.
> open source is not always the solution and reverse engineering something, consumes way more energy for the problems it actually solves.

You think customers are reverse engineering Oracle products for fun? They're doing it because there's a problem somewhere, they've filed a bug report and not got a satisfactory result, and so they have to go pay an expensive consultant to try and track down the problem for them with no source code.

Even if none of the other arguments for open source were persuasive, this situation with Oracle alone would be enough to convince many people of the wisdom of choosing an open source vendor.

GFS only translated into HDFS after 5 years, same with MapReduce, BigTable etc.
The repeated Java exploits You're referring to are exposed when using Applets in a browser ... This was conventionally recognized as a bed idea in about 2006. You simply shouldn't allow Applets to run - no matter what. I think you'll find the rest of the Java platform more secure than most, especially since the OpenJDK foundation was formed. I'm not here to defend Oracle in any other way but they've done a reasonable job of advancing the Java platform since it was acquired.
But ths change will prevent bad extensions pulled in by malware installed by other means.... On systems that require application signing, that should do some good (otherwise I'd expect malware to just switch from sideloading extensions to sideloading a modified version of Firefox).
> A. The customer signed the Oracle license agreement, and the consultant hired by the customer is thus bound by the customer’s signed license agreement. Otherwise everyone would hire a consultant to say (legal terms follow) “Nanny, nanny boo boo, big bad consultant can do X even if the customer can’t!”

If you consider the dollar to have an absurdly high valuation, what do you think about the GBP and, until a year ago, the EUR?
Yeah, also using a 2015 Macbook Pro. 256GB SSD is already full and 16 GB non-ECC RAM is small and unreliable.

At least 2015 Macbook Pro 13" is pretty fast and light. I also love the display. Wifi is pretty snappy, download speed from internet is over 250 Mbps, which is enough for me.

I'll swap the internal SSD to 1 or 2 TB model once they become available.

> For your NVS4200M gpu, didn't Ubuntu offer you an installation of restricted drivers? I vaguely remember that when you booted on such configuration, there was an icon in upper right tray that did exactly that.

Yes, I mean, I vaguely remember that, too. But often that didn't work, and when it did, you still didn't get Optimus, and multi-monitor stuff was still annoying to set up (until you learn to install some nvidia-settings package, but even then you're manually configuring the monitor mappings in a GUI every time you start up). Now it looks like the official drivers let you turn on/off the discrete GPU, but only after restarting X. Maybe using Bumblebee is simpler too now.

Lucky. On some Latitude I had to put that on a DVD because the USB support wasn't there.
Someone with significant funding could try -- but they will end up having 10 meetings with employees, contractors, accountants, auditors, and before you know it, you have eaten up all the profit the trade might have produced.

The problem is that we deliver everything via the web so people will barely notice if we move our stuff over to an alternative platform from Windows.

Microsoft knows it has lock in from a lot of people and it will abuse this. I think their aggressive cloud move with Office 365 and Azure's PaaS stuff is an example of how they are moving this forward further yet retaining a subscription. NOTHING is portable away from them without significant cost.

Edit: just the effort I started two weeks ago to move all my data to platform neutral formats and shift to Linux is less than 50% of the way through and that's just one person with 20 years of data.
That route is getting harder with application signing becoming more prevalent on Windows and OS X.
You would also need standard connectors to local utilities like power/water/plumbing. And you'd need to secure all your stuff to the floor or walls whenever you move. And of course you'd travel separately from your container, because being stuck inside a stack of containers for two weeks is not fun. But it might work for some people.
Also CHF! Historically, the dollar isn't so high as other currencies are weak. The dollar is not overvalued by any measure.
This is exactly the problem with legality of RE and penetration testing. "You broke the law by wasting our time, violating your license agreement." I understand author's points. Not very good points, disappointingly.

No matter how interpersonal she puts it. It makes me not ever want my system to rely on a company that threatens and belittle customers for protecting themselves.

If I bought a fridge for my house, I found a listening device and a pinhole camera in the fridge. Just because the company has a clause I am not allowed to open up the fridge, it doesn't mean I shouldn't.

Well, the company might have found the devices. Indeed maybe nothing customers can do until the company fixes it. Keep telling customers they are not allow to look for flaws it just ridiculous. Yes, it's your product, but this is my home!

WikiLeaks goes after hyper-secret Euro-American trade pact
I agree with that point, and think it hits at something bigger. Having a bug bounty doesn't just say 'we give out money for bugs'. It also says 'we have a thought-out programme for handling serious user-reported problems, and we won't reprimand or dismiss you for sharing them'.
Not quite -- even if you match the market or slightly under-perform the market, it might still make sense if you achieve these results with lesser volatility and more consistent earnings. I do not necessarily want to beat a market which returns 7% on average but loses 40% every 6 years...

> as once the DB user has permission to execute "SET ROLE", it's got the same security issues with accessing other user data as the current "WHERE company_id=3" style of separation?

DB users can only SET ROLE to roles they belong to. If each tenant has its own role it isn't possible to switch between them.

# CREATE ROLE bob;
CREATE ROLE
# CREATE ROLE alice;
CREATE ROLE
# SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION bob;
SET
> SET ROLE alice;
ERROR: permission denied to set role "alice"

"SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION <role>" changes the possible SET ROLE targets to those allowed for <role> (so only the roles it's a member of), whereas SET ROLE keeps the original possible roleset (which is every role if you SET ROLE from an admin account), so SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION is a better proxy for "logged as <role>".

The biggest annoyance is with connection pooling and the inability (to my knowledge) to prevent RESET SESSION AUTHORIZATION at the DB-level: when pooling connections you'll want to have a "base" role which is a NOINHERIT member of all "effective" (tenant) roles, so it can only SET ROLE/SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION but can't do anything (so it can't be exploited), the first thing you do when you get a connection from the pool is SSA to the effective user you want, and the last thing you do when you put the connection back in the pool is a RSA.

# CREATE TABLE foo ( id serial, c1 varchar, c2 varchar );
# GRANT SELECT (id, c1, c2) ON foo TO public;
# GRANT UPDATE (c1) ON foo TO bob;
# GRANT UPDATE (c2) ON foo TO alice;
# INSERT INTO foo (c1, c2) VALUES ('a', 'b');
# SELECT * FROM foo;
id | c1 | c2
----+----+----
1 | a | b
(3 rows)
# SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION base;
> UPDATE foo SET c1 = 'd' WHERE id = 1;
ERROR: permission denied for relation foo
> SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION bob;
> UPDATE foo SET c1 = 'd' WHERE id = 1;
UPDATE 1
> SELECT * FROM foo;
id | c1 | c2
----+----+----
1 | d | b
(3 rows)

That'll prevent honest mistakes, though an attacker could still RESET SESSION AUTHORIZATION then switch the connection to a different role and go to town. It might be possible to mitigate that at the application level, but that's less convenient.

I don't work for Microsoft, but I'm kinda disgusted by that comment. By all means criticise their work, but calling them derogatory names is deeply deeply uncool.
There is just no upside to this kind of response. Surely for any tech company that has reached a certain size, the only workable approach is to recruit an appropriately sized security team and politely welcome and respond to each and every security report received, triage them as quickly as possible and fix the ones that are found to be real vulnerabilities. Even if you aren't happy with the motives or the methods they employ, they are potentially finding flaws in your products for you.

Intraday data is often unnecessary and, worse, leads otherwise intelligent people to trade on spurious relationships. Recall that a sufficient statistic for the drift of a Brownian (or geometric Brownian) price process over a period is its return over the period. Hence intraday data provides essentially no additional information on the drift of prices, though it is useful for measuring the strength of covariate relationships and responses to intraday events.

What they are really saying with all of this is..."We are moving all of our profitable businesses under one umbrella that will be reported separately, and putting all of our money-losing businesses under another, in hopes that investors will basically ignore the unprofitable stuff and only focus on our profitable businesses.". Apparently the moonshots are diluting results from the mainstays, and they want a higher stock price, so they are going to report them separately. I'm not sure why they have to form a whole new corporate structure for that though; they could just break out the numbers in their reports.
[continued] To put this more clearly:

The hamburger icon/menu introduces a metaphor of its own that is not consistent with progressive disclosure as used elsewhere in common interfaces (see above). It's more a "and here is the rest that you may be missing"-icon that isn't motivated by any consistent notion of the interface, but by concern for screen real estate. As a user, we may not assume the content of the menu, but by empirical knowledge and by considering functions that we are missing and that may be hidden somewhere.

The hamburger menu _is_ the application. It's content may be related to only by expectation and assumptions regarding the extent of the application's basic functionality. Arguably, in the light of this considerations, the icon is communicating rather sparsely what it is and what it does.
(Actually, it exposes a global, unrelated view on the basic extent of the app.)

While its use may be arguable for an application (esp. mobile apps), it's highly problematic, when used in web sites and web applications. (The difference: While in the former case it's located rather in the window chrome, thus relating to the viewport as an object, it's part of the view in the latter – like a wormhole to the global context.)

Yet oddly we appear to be going down a route where UI is hidden a lot:

a. long-press on a touch-screen device to select text, show a menu etc.

b. buttons with hieroglyphics to indicate what to do (worse than the old floppy disk for save) - eg. iOS' share button is a box with an arrow going into it (which is confusing to me as I do not want to put my concept into a box - I want to share it OUTSIDE my box of a device).

c. Sliding from sides of the screen to show notification areas, control panels (iOS), or "split screen" apps (Samsung Note), or charms (Windows).

d. Using different gestures to do things like take screenshots on Samsung note devices (swipe your entire hand across the screen)

e. Hiding UI elements until something is done, eg. scrollbars on OSX by default until you scroll (which you would need the scrollbar to actually do...)

They are all very simple once you know them but it must be very difficult as a first-time user, particularly if you are an older first-time user where your ability to absorb information like a sponge is diminished.

Every couple of years interaction is reinvented it seems! This differs from the decades of computer use where the only massive changes were scrollwheels on mice.
