Four years ago, I knew practically nothing about the security industry (or of business). I was a self-taught web programmer who knew really obvious ways to defend websites from attackers.
I see your point, but I think it's increasingly rare to find sysadmins who haven't been exposed to OOP. A little programming has become less and less optional to be successful at the job. At my job, I'm pretty sure even the entry level helpdesk staff have been exposed to a bit of Java, C#, or the like.

Technology focused companies can have the same issues. In order to build a clear understanding, it requires not just having the data available (the RIGHT data obviously, and clear and extensive documentation on specific definitions and business meanings), but it also requires education within the organization of how one should look at, evaluate, and understand the different pieces of a business.

The good thing though is that there's a tipping point, where once ~1/3 or so of people fully grok how to evaluate and understand the metrics they're looking at, those who do understand start helping (or calling out) those that don't, lifting competence throughout the organization.
Fair enough, and I have and will continue to not really want to invest time into learning Microsoft's stuff, based on past experiences (my first being wanting to develop for the platform as a scrub, and they charged thousands of dollars for a dev environment/compiler). I honestly don't think it'll serve me well going forward, when there are better alternatives.

They have had decades now to get on board with developers, and cmd.exe is still their go-to console. They still strike me as a company of greedy corporate business folk, who happen to run a software company, as opposed to a software company that has to suffer greedy corporate drones to survive in our current race to the bottom.
What i'll like to know is if the EU will try to do another treaty or simply force US companies to move the data.
Identifying Music Genres with Clarifai's Deep Learning and Google Prediction
If you want both Liberty and Community to emerge as the dominant platform, you are going to have to explore other avenues than legislating it or convincing people of it. You are going to have to re-align incentives. It is going to have to emerge through a catallaxy of people pursuing different goals. This can be done by creating a society where:

1. Money spent in and around the community brings more benefit than money spent in a far off place.
2. Success at a higher level of administration is dependent on the success of lower levels of administration(probably also controlled by the the flows of voluntary tax revenue).

Even then, the type of 'communism' that develops won't be a top down variety that we saw fail miserably in the 20th century, but a bottom up version that is highly anti-fragile and able to move very quickly to take advantage of volatility.
Didn't they already try this with Digg Dialogg (note the double g), somewhere in 2008? I remember it being some sort of AMA with celebrities in which the highest voted questions got actually asked to the celebrity by the interviewer.
Wonderful site. Does anyone know of other resources for the lay person to get a better grasp of the law, without becoming a laywer? Earlier in my adulthood, I would have appreciated a book explaining in very general terms what exactly lawyers do and some illustrative examples.
I don't think globalisation plays that big a role in preventing poverty. Big causes are wars and mismanagement by unjust governments.

Out of curiosity, and if you're at liberty and in the mood to answer, how did you pass voire dire? Were attorneys on both sides comfortable with your familiarity with a computing subculture?

Did your familiarity with computing even come up?
Does anyone know if all the releases of AOL software are archived or there is something like bitsavers for these software releases? I wonder out of 4000 unique disks how many unique software releases there were. 10-20 or 1000s?
In context to what you're responding to I must assume, anyway, I'm pretty sure that between the time of requesting your lawyer and that lawyer appearing to advise you then you keep your mouth shut. Refuse to answer any questions until your lawyer is there to advise you. Once the lawyer is present and questioning resumes, you may be advised to invoke the fifth.

> You will get a higher sentence for being remorseless.

This creates really perverse incentives, though. How in the world do you maintain innocence without being "remorseless"?

At base, this operates from an assumption that the court system always finds the Truth. Which IMO is a pretty ignorance/arrogant assumption.
I don't know much about the American medical system, but in Canada, once you get into palliative care, you basically get put on narcotics, so your father probably would have been okay. For most people, this works well (there are some kinds of pain originating from the CNS that as far as I know have no good treatments).

The situation for out-patients is not that great though. All the strong analgesics make you loopy. This is fine if you are in a hospital, and under supervision, but it's dangerous if you're not in a hospital.

Unfortunately, the science just isn't there yet. Treating pain is like treating cancer: there are so many different forms of pain, different locations, different "causes", etc.

22. "Bread and circuses"

Obviously the extreme lack of money, also known as "poverty", can be solved with money. Assuming that you don't throw the money at "something" but at "somebody", this "somebody" will by definition not be poor any more.
And you imagine that in 25 year the total inflation was only of 90%?
>No, the computer industry is in a deep crisis because of that – first PC sales tanked, then laptop sales, then netbook sales, then ultrabook sales, then tablet sales, soon smartphone sales… if products get cheaper and cheaper, you have no incentive to buy more than absolutely necessary, because not waiting with your purchase will always lose you money.

Yes, because that's absolutely what happened. What actually happened is that there is no longet any reason to buy the top end, because the low end is enough for most people.

>And then we have the other problems: What about rents? Debts? Wages? Do you decrease them over time, too?

Why should wages decrease?

>What happens if they aren't?

People have more money to spend and the additional demand further boosts the economy.

>Who would lend money under such circumstances, if just keeping the money under your pillow will make you richer anyway, and at zero risk, too?

People would definitely go back to saving and away from making debts. That is not a problem, the need to invest money when there is no objective reason to do so is what leads to investment bubbles and excessive debts.
Hmm. If we accept the premise that the Tribune is at fault for not securing their systems, does that mean Keys is at fault for not securing his password?
I agree, that is an excellent video. I think it should be required to watch once a person reaches legal adulthood.
That's the thing though: in the US, inequality between rich and poor is widening, but globally, it is narrowing. There are more global middle class now than ever before. It's hard to have this both ways until we approach closer to a post scarcity economy.
You could set an arbitrary dollar amount and simply wait for inflation to bring that number into range. How much of this is real improvement?
Keys posted active credentials to a forum, and those credentials were used by others to deface a website. Do you regard that as a fair statement of what happened? Still completely insane to send someone to prison for that.

While your request is not in principle unreasonable, it's way too much work for me to prove it to your satisfaction, or my satisfaction in a formal, balanced, I'd be willing to publish it way. E.g. I'd forgotten about I4i, despite the prominence of the case.

I'm basically asking you, absent either of us going beyond searches like https://www.google.com/search?q=list+of+microsoft+crimes ^_^, to trust my observations of these businesses since the fall of 1977 when I started in the field. Heck, I was a great fan of Microsoft until NT 3.51 SP2 (and for a while beyond, it was Vista that completed the job). It was a pattern of behavior that became more and more obvious sometime in the late '90s that changed my opinion of the company, capped with their all out illegitimate assault on Linux and FOSS starting in the early '00s. And I of course don't expect you to take my word for it.

I just don't see it in their peers, not even Oracle.

Ah, here's a different angle: name the healthy peers that are willing to work with Microsoft today, beyond what's absolutely required. Yahoo! fails hard on healthy, Mozilla potentially as hard. I don't understand why/how Yahoo! is still in business, but Mozilla sure seems to be in their endgame (one reason I'm avoiding Rust for the time being).
If the criteria for "poverty" is "to not be able to get at least x quantity of money per month", to "solve" this you'll need at least to provide that x quantity of money every month.

But your definition of "solution" will still be crazy if you do that.

Great article.

Note that in Britain, there's a small community of classicists who are permanently having to defend the relevance of their studies. It seems to be drilled into them that what they study is relevant to modern society (which it is). Thus you find the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, peppering in Rome references in his writings. Everything that happens in the news is at some point going to have a commentator who studied classics, and you'll get nice Latin quotes.

Jai allow this for array indexing AND it also allow the reverse: reinserting array checks even when there is an 'unsafe access' operation: this way even if you made a mistake in adding an 'unsafe access' operation it's easy to find where the error is (assuming the error is reproducible of course).

Um, the first line in the Miranda warning literally says you have the right to remain silent. That is for police questioning, which they can choose to do whether you answer or not. The fifth really won't come into play until sometime around being charged and questioned by a judge and/or prosecutor.

It only benefits consumers if they still have jobs, and assuming the jobs still pay well enough for the cheaper goods to actually also be cheaper in relative terms.

That may be the case, and one would hope the local businesses are able to adjust or that new jobs follow. But it is certainly not automatically the case that having your local market flooded with cheaper goods is better for consumers.

Keys has been arguing this line for a while though. He's been unusually vocal in his own defense in the months leading up to the trial (compare that to how relatively quiet Aaron Swartz [0] was) -- and I think it's a calculated tactic. Not necessarily a wrong one, but Keys' reputation as being savvy about online and social media is very well deserved.

But I think that it is likely to severely backfire on him. A lot about the justice system is public relations -- check out the press releases feed at the Dept of Justice [1]...and he's doubling down in such a way that the prosecutors and judge can only lose face if they go lenient with him. The best defense for him is to be contrite and ask for leniency -- that's the whole point of his defense lawyers arguing that it was just a simple webpage defacement. Instead, he's arguing federal-level type coverup and incompetency, from the FBI investigation to the jury-by-trial itself. If the judge slaps him on the wrist, the judge is basically insinuating "Yeah, you're right...our court system is a joke!".

From what I can tell, not many judges choose to go that route.

Do you guys post the process by which you compile this image anywhere? I was very impressed the last time I saw you put out an update because I have tried in the past (as a learning excercise) to do the exact same thing.

Not a self-professed communist, but is not generating and applying ideas labor? Labor is not simply putting fingers to the keyboard. How would one reconcile ability to be creative with pure labor valuation, in a manner similar to dollars-for-hours exchanges? Why not simply measure the return on those ideas? If your work brings in $5000 a month, for example, that is the value of your work, of your ability to be creative.
> We had many people interested in turning off bound checks with compile option, but it was rejected.

Can you cite where this happened? This sounds like it was an executive decision, but as I recall the community was opposed to a switch to turn off bounds checks. (Rightly so: the overhead of bounds checks is near zero.)

As I recall, there were some people asking for a bounds check switch, but they were mostly people coming from the D community and new to Rust who were asking for a copy of the -noboundscheck switch (without benchmarks to show that it would help). The more interesting option would be something to turn off the lifetime, borrow, and mutability checks. But when I suggested this, almost nobody seemed particularly interested.

That's kind of on a different thing - rich americans giving a bit to charity after outsourcing US jobs.
He posted active credentials to the (his words) secret chat room of a "group of renegade criminal" hackers, and pleaded with them to trash Tribune properties --- he was distraught when the people on that channel merely poked around and tried to maintain their access. Ultimately, Keys was disappointed --- again, his words --- with the minimal damage done to his former employer.

It does not seem at all insane to send someone for prison for that.

As in the 1800s, it's a good deal for rich countries and a bad deal for developing countries since their infant industries can't compete and so never get off the ground.

China was wise not to follow this path. As was Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore and Hong Kong.

> In Jai it is easy to, for example, have bounds checks on during the entire development process to aid in finding bugs, then turn off bounds checks in a dozen critical loops for testing and release, then turn bounds checking on in one loop that still proved crash-y.

That's pretty much exactly Rust's philosophy as well.

> Rather than Rust's "Safe All The Things!" approach, bounds checking is just another tool you can use or not use as is appropriate for the context.

Rust's philosophy is not "Safe All The Things". It has "unsafe" for a reason.

Anyway, I really dislike the overfocus on bounds checks, because they're pretty much zero overhead if properly implemented and optimized.

It's inflation adjusted kind of.
And to live that way we only have to let 99% of the population starve.

Also they probably had lots more women die giving birth.
I'm always wary of the numbers that are put out. There has been long history of fudging numbers to fit a narrative. The unemployment numbers in the US comes to mind as such an example.

So, the question is how realistic is the extreme poverty line. And this doesn't help it much:

The World Bank first introduced a global poverty line in 1990,
setting it at $1 a day.
It was adjusted last in 2008, when the group raised it to $1.25 a day.

$1 seems like such a convenient number to pick!

An interesting graph will be to plot the extreme poverty threshold against inflation _in_emerging_countries_.

With the falling emerging market currencies and extreme inflation (hyper-inflation perhaps), I don't think that $1.90 a day cuts it.
There are things inside the realism bubble too. Like nukes and teleportation devices.
