Obfuscation.
I really wish Amazon reviews are restricted to those who actually purchased the product - Amazon does add verified purchase tag, but why allow me to review an item if I haven't purchased it? I can understand if they were a small e-commerce platform but at their scale, restricting the number of reviews would be beneficial. It is better to have 10 good reviews than 100 reviews with jokes and rants etc.

Another thing that is really annoying is people buying wrong product and leaving angry reviews. Whose mistake is it if I buy a product thinking it is water proof, when the description of the product says in bold letters that it isn't waterproof? I feel sorry for the sellers who get idiotic/unfair reviews and they can do nothing about it
Algorithmic pricing is the main reason I rarely buy anything on Amazon anymore. On the realistic end, I've had too many situations that I was thinking of buying something, finally decide to pull the trigger only to find the price had gone significantly up. Not just a 3rd party running out of inventory and the lowest price moving to the next cheapest seller but items sold by Amazon. Once I realized I had to use a site like camelcamelcamel.com to track the price, Amazon was no longer the easy, trusted low price retailer. Make me think about a purchase, I will. On the high end, most products you look at have an insane high price, even on price fixed items that I can walk to a store and buy anytime for MSRP. This article has an extreme example but most items I look at have at least one offer that is 10 - 100x everyone else. That this is not monitored and dealt with from amazon gives the whole site an aurora of sleaze...
The chunk of plutonium is very well shielded. Curiosity is more likely to be irradiated by cosmic rays than it is by its RTG.

It doesn't matter anyway, as some microorganisms are known to endure exposure to open space for years. Sterilizing Curiosity would likely be impractical (its size and weight are comparable to a small car, which is much larger than a potato). A smaller probe designed for finding life and only that could be a safer bet.
" I’ve worked at places where it’s prominent, and worked at places where it’s completely absent."

You need to look no further than your manager and other senior leaders. Everyone will take their cues for behavior from those people. If they are confrontational, the people who work for them will be, if they aren't that way (and they call out as bad behavior such things) then the behavior won't be present.
I suspect the L3 can also be accessed by the GPU since they share the memory management unit block. It probably contributes heavily into better GPU performance, seeing as the GPU in the SoC doesn't have its own dedicated high performance RAM, and the largest complaint I've seen from mobile game developers has been lack of raw memory bandwidth performance (ie, being unable to do stuff they can do anywhere else, even though the GPU itself can easily handle the task).

I suspect this is also why the iPhone 6S switched to a PCI-E SSD for flash instead of an SDIO/eMMC store like most devices use, just so high performance apps (such as games streaming in assets during runtime) don't choke the phone.

According to them with an unoptimized benchmark (doesn't do queue depth >1 yet like desktop benchmarks do; required for real SSD benchmarking), Apple basically doubled the performance of the flash IO.

While not quite specifically security minded -- you should look into FirefoxOS -- it's completely open source, built on a fork of android.

Unfortunately high spec firefoxos-pre-installed phones aren't really available in the US right now, but you can also convert an existing phone to run FFOS.

Their solution is to make you pay local calling rates when you're abroad. You still get to keep your same phone number and you don't even need an internet connection to make it work.

To me, that's much better than phone calls over a WiFi or a Data connection.
If you look at the visual system[1] the signal passes through many preliminary nodes before it reaches the back of the brain aka the visual cortex (which is responsible for the conscious visual field, i.e. "seeing").

For example, one of these preliminary nodes is the Superior colliculus, which is part of the 'midbrain'[2]:

> The general function of the tectal system is to direct behavioral responses toward specific points in egocentric ("body-centered") space. Each layer of the tectum contains a topographic map of the surrounding world in retinotopic coordinates, and activation of neurons at a particular point in the map evokes a response directed toward the corresponding point in space. [...]

> Even in primates, however, the tectum is also involved in generating spatially directed head turns, arm-reaching movements, shifts in attention that do not involve any overt movements. [...]

> Thus, cats with major damage to the visual cortex cannot recognize objects, but may still be able to follow and orient toward moving stimuli, although more slowly than usual.

That is just one of the preliminary areas. The SC is part of the brainstem. People think of the brainstem as just controlling essential functions like breathing, but it's also capable of more complex motor function.

Can't answer where they came up with that number but it does seem rather larger. The only comparable machine where we do know the number is the Mars Curiosity Rover running somewhere around 2.5 Million LoC. Now, given that there are upwards of 200 micro controllers in a luxury car, I can see that number growing exponentially, but 100 Million???
Well, it's Indiegogo. Regardless of how technically feasible it is, how many of Indiegogo products you know that actually shipped?
I'd assume all of them, no? Personally, I prefer Middleman, but of course Jekyll is probably the most popular choice.
The type of 'filter' and 'map' should tell you whether they are eager or lazy. If they return something iterable and uncountable except by consuming, then they're probably lazy. If they return something array or collection-like, they're probably eager.

I had a quick scan of the Kotlin repo, and I think it depends on the type that you start out with. The sequence stuff is lazy; the map stuff is eager.
This is super impressive.

As somebody working all day with java in Android's context, Kotlin seems to pretty much address all my gripes with Java (again, java for Android, so no java 8 or 9 here).

The only issue is that the Android framework code is still written in java, so it might not be that useful for the parts of an app that are deeply embedded in the android framework.

I really hope that the google people take notice of Kotlin and decide to adopt it.

Judging from the public commits in AOSP, java 8 & 9 seems to be the current official focus, but there is no way to know what is going on under wraps.
To me, it comes down to whether the deliverable is the source code itself or the process by which the source code is created.

If the deliverable is static html, for example (it often is), then it shouldn't matter if that static html is authored in Eclipse or Sublime Text. By all means, the dependencies used in java projects should be scrutinized. The problem is, when it is too cumbersome to even experiment with something new from the open-source community, you end up trying to create your own in-house solution, which is way more expensive and usually less secure.

Fortunately, even top levels of management have recognized this problem. Virtual workstations are just one of a couple proposed solutions, but it's a serious option.
I've been asked this so many times, that I've summed it up on Quora, here: https://www.quora.com/Why-has-Slack-grown-so-quickly/answer/...

In short, Slack is the first company in this space that had, and used heavy artillery.

Atlassian had heavy artillery for HipChat, but didn't use it.

Slack is the reason no one will ever have to convince investors that team chat is "a thing"—and that's an enormous accomplishment.

I wrote the original code (not this CoffeeScript port) so that I could create simple diagrams fast without resorting much to dragging stuff around with mouse. If you want to create a sequence of diagrams where each next one is just slightly different from the previous one then textual approach is simply superior to point-and-click style editing. Other parts of my motivation were outlined here[1].

Having this ASCII -> image converter also allows me to embed diagrams into blogposts as text without actually making images out of them. See [2] as an example of such embedding.

If that were true then this new critical moniker doesn't make sense. The whole justification for them adding it is that they have (past tenths) made that determination.

Official NASA announcement: https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-confirms-evidence-th...
2.5 MLoC sounds extremely high even for a Mars Rover. I really wonder how it's counted? Is it C code or ASM instructions? Does it include all standard libraries that get referenced, even if they end up not being compiled into the final binary? Or is everything just written in Java and configured with XML?
The other comment about electronics is completely off the mark as well -- people often see financial transactions that don't seem to make logical sense (whether pricing bots that recursively keep pricing off of each other, as in the linked story, or prices that seem too good to be true, which more likely are gray market or arbitrage) and immediately explain it as money laundering. But consider the electronics sales, where the premise is that people are selling electronics that they apparently bought from Amazon using gift cards under the market just to launder cash.

There is an enormous financial black hole that is just as vulnerable to inspection as simply depositing $1,000,000 in cash in your account. The whole point of money laundering is not only to legitimize the output, it's to make the sources untraceable and arguably viable as well.

The components of a transaction, particularly for the sales of goods, cannot simply appear out of nowhere, or they've done absolutely nothing in the way of money laundering. The people who will ever care about this (the ones who money laundering is constructed to fool) aren't so naive, and if you're selling 100,000 hard drives to justify your income, they're going to ask where you got the hard drives, and demand a financial trail.

Cash businesses that have little variable costs outside of manpower (such as carwashes, laundrymats, even some small restaurants, or selling small crafts on Etsy) are absolutely lucrative tools for money laundering, and can only really get caught if put under heavy scrutiny (e.g. car wash with 10 cars over the week claims revenue of $100,000). As are casinos, and Vegas was built on money laundering -- there are few checks on how much you spend, so whether you spent $1,000,000 in unexplained cash to leave with $950,000 in legitimate winnings, or $10 in legitimate cash to leave with $950,000 in legitimate winnings, it's almost impossible to prove.

There are many, many financial vehicles that are used for money laundering, including life insurance. Selling hard drives on Amazon is not one of them.

One thing that is not mentioned and what probably is one of the major reasons ASCII kinda has stayed as relevant as it is, is the fact that it is indeed a 7-bit encoding. This allows all sorts of interesting use of the 8th bit, of which UTF-8 is maybe the most beautiful hack.

Well, what you're saying is that they wouldn't open source it voluntarily. This is why we have regulations: to make people and companies do things that they wouldn't do voluntarily.
It's opposite is probably also true, how very common things are made to look rare and exceptional e.g. blood moons.
> This is simply not going to happen.

It's not going to happen unless legislated. That's the whole point. Currently there is no legislation forcing it to happen, but in the future there might be. That might be a good idea, even if the various companies involved don't want to do it.
Humans did not invent radiation, you know. In fact we live in a remarkably well-shielded area. Certainly better shielded than the surface of Mars.

Besides, we're on another planet. If our payload was nothing but the nastiest chemical we could come up with, we still couldn't ship enough to Mars for it to matter.

No, the only payload that could conceivably be harmful is one that can self-replicate, which at this juncture means life. (Ask again in a hundred years.)

Hi I look after Marketing for Strone so I'm far from the most technical person to answer your questions. We will be posting updates on Indiegogo but just to fill you in on a few things. The technology works. We have completed test calls using the hardware. We will be sending out our first batch of Beta units in a couple of weeks. Our apps are working now. I called the US last week and spoke for 40 minutes and the line was crystal clear with no delay. I would love to hear what else you would like to hear about our product?

If there is water of any sort on Mars, ice, liquid, salty, whatever, I think finding life on Mars is inevitable. Life is very, very persistent, and niches will be filled.

Unfortunately it's also all but inevitable that we'll bring some with us, if we haven't already. Life is persistent, and ever-surprising.

It isn't for CPU only, Haswell and up GPUs can zero-copy their command buffers out of it (thus making a large number of GPU compute situations "free"); they can't usefully use such a small amount of L3 for texture and framebuffer stuff (not like the highly optimized prefetch and caching systems in Radeons and Geforces can; that is sometimes a work of art).

But yes, I highly suspect the bigger L3 on these serves the same purpose as the L4 on Crystalwells.
It's a little late for me to be thinking about this, as I'm already 40+. But basically my plan is what it's always been: entrepreneurship. Whether the plan succeeds or not is another question. If it doesn't, "plan C" is to pull a Leaving Las Vegas and go drink myself to death in Vegas.
I don't understand how they can include Google's app ecosystem and still claim to be privacy-oriented. Google Play Services is basically a firehose of information straight to Google.

It seems to me like setting up your own disk encryption and secure SIP calling on a phone with an AOSP ROM without any Google apps installed (and just using f-droid as your app store) would be far superior to using this device as far as privacy goes.

4) You order a privacy tool from Amazon, and you're put on a list. You emit the kind of encrypted traffic that 99% of internet users don't, you also get put on a list. In most cases, there's no difference. I suppose if your threat model requires you physically appear not to care about privacy then it matters. Like maybe you work in a sensitive position and you don't want anyone to think you might exfiltrate data, so you only carry the work provisioned device which logs everything you do.

True. But the property you mention -- that for plain text editors the serialization and working formats are the same -- is actually a pretty useful and convenient property!
