Stumbling? When they ripped off Sun, they did so with deliberately and with awareness at the highest levels. There are emails revealed during the trial that leave no doubt.

Also, of all the companies engaged in all the smartphone patents wars (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smartphone_patent_wars), Google (via Motorola) was the only company that was actually found guilty of abusing patents: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/09/4-billion-motorol...

Pretty rich coming from a company that accused everyone else of abusing patents.
An actual Librarian would be an improvement to the current vocation, but even better would be a writer/musician/artist with an advanced education in a logic-intense field of study (ex: English, Philosophy, Law, or Finance).

Personally, I'd like to see Duff McKagen get the job.

Edit: I'd also love the responsibility of the job, being a somewhat-obsessive IP laws and technology guy, but I'd probably make so many enemies as to be unemployable after leaving it, due to likely smear campaigns.

EU court strikes down trans-Atlantic ‘safe harbor’ data-transfer pact
In July 2015, a fatal shooting took place two houses down from mine. Fortunately, only the shooter was killed, but only after firing off nearly 100 rounds. It was a terrifying moment for our little neighborhood, which is typically swarming with children playing at the park across the street. I was on my way home with my wife and kids at the time. If we had taken our usual route home, we would have driven right by the shooter, probably realizing too late what was going on. The only thing that kept us from coming within feet of the shooter was a text message from our neighbor. That text message may have saved our lives.

After this incident, I was thinking about how many other close calls might have been avoided if everyone in the neighborhood had received that same text message. That's when I thought of Hoodwink. The concept is simple: if you see something suspicious in your neighborhood, just open the Hoodwink app and anonymously report what you saw. No usernames, no passwords. Nearby neighbors who have the Hoodwink app will be notified, and they'll have the option to confirm your report. You'll also be notified if a neighbor decides to call the police, so you can rest assured that help is on the way.

As many of you, I write software for a living, and the last thing I need is another project. But Hoodwink feels different—it seems more urgent than some of my other projects. Nevertheless, I'm going to gauge how much interest there is in the app, and if it looks promising, I may do a Kickstarter campaign to get it off the ground. If you'd like to show your support, you can share your email address on the website (hoodwink.com). We'll only send you updates about the app.
> It's hard to imagine any outside forensics investigation happening for less than $20k

In my case, Sylint was the web host and the forensics investigator. That might also explain their duplicity and lack of consistency in the reports to the court.

Aside, is knowing how to use Encase really that lucrative? I should switch specialties.
Why bother? I'm sure any journal I cite won't meet your expectations of peer review. No true Scotsman and all. But I'm sure if you search for the topic, science journal review bias, you'll find plenty of examples. I'm not even talking about just on papers concerning climate change. It's been in the news off and on over the past few years, it's not like I'm making this up.

> Robinhood has larger spreads than many of it's alternatives.

You need to be careful about what you mean when you say this. Robinhood should not be offering spreads worse than the NBBO and if they are you should document it.

The vast majority of Robinhoods order flow and execution is paid for by Citadel and Knight, who also pay for the order flow of the vast majority of other retail trading outfits. I'd be very surprised if the spreads were significantly different (though maybe execution times are worse on Robinhood leading to worse fill rates).
A "Business Management Consultant" group focused on "cyber" security? You shouldn't have been surprised ;-)

Well that benefits the consumers.

And due to comparative advantage, even competing against imports with free open trade is better than being closed off.
> Even with Time Machine backups, you still spend many hours setting configs after a restore.

But how many hours do you spend establishing, testing, and maintaining a backup plan that mitigates the risk of spending a few hours getting back to working status after a restore?

In my experience, TimeMachine is wonderfully effective at restoring system state (including things like shell customizations, dotfiles, etc). The marginal return on investment in more comprehensive backup setup just doesn't pay dividends. Of course, there's the issue of offsite backups, which typically aren't as comprehensive as TimeMachine.

The point I'm making is that technical folks often have a hard time making value judgements as it relates to technology. Having a backup of your data is 100% necessary. No argument there. Having a backup of your system state? That's not as high a priority, because you're mitigating a future time investment with a current time investment. You have to weigh the two against each other: time spent today versus potentially time spent in the future.
People tend to complain about the obvious effects of free trade (i.e., businesses folding to competition), but they overlook the less obvious, more spread out effects (i.e., people being able to afford more goods, and other businesses being able to purchase more materials and having access to larger markets).
I think it's fair if a vandal uses a copied key to enter the office and pee on the rug, then the company should cover the costs of changing the locks, but the vandal is responsible for the damage to the rug. Changing the locks is a direct consequence of the company's failure to collect the keys (and needs to be done regardless of what if any vandalism has taken place), but the follow on damage was not caused by mere negligence or happenstance.
Perhaps it is better to say: "Thank you, inflation."

I agree that EnCase jockeys are overpaid, and I generally think of forensics as a lower-status specialty than software security, but website breach investigations are much more annoying than just imaging hard drives.
> because we know cops can lie

I believe the following is what you meant, but to be clear, cops are allowed to lie. Or so I've read, and it's probably safest to assume they're both allowed and will.
Um that's a bit of an extremely polarising conclusion to take away from elemenopy's comment.

"Questionable at best" tries to imply something entirely different than what was being said, which is that Hersh's claims were bold, not entirely backed up and subject to criticism. "Questionable in part", al right, but extending that to "questionable at best" sounds like you're pushing your own agenda here.

Maybe you just worded yourself too strongly, but if you decide to stick with that, please explain to everyone how the claims about what the US did to the vaccination programs in order to get to Bin Laden, made in Hersh's article, are either "questionable" or "worse".

Because as far as I've been able to check, Hersh's claims about the actions regarding vaccination programs part of the story (which is just a small part--but the part we are discussing here) are not being criticized by anyone in particular, except by those painting with the very broad brush that the entire story is questionable. Like you are doing.
Okay, so you have products that get cheaper and cheaper. Is that good? 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.

And then we have the other problems: What about rents? Debts? Wages? Do you decrease them over time, too? What happens if they aren't? 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?

Etc. pp.
I used Mubi a long time a go, but somehow forgot about them - probably due to their limited selection in Germany. The service itself always impressed me though - a service obviously run by true enthusiasts and aficionados.

Glad to see they are still around.
> No real trader is going to want mobile, which makes their zero cost trades rather pointless doesn't it? A buy and hold person doesn't care about fees as much.

Perhaps its because they don't want "real traders" or "buy and hold" people as their inventory. Given that the users of Robinhood are what they are selling, maybe they can get more for those users if they prove that they are both unsophisticated and active? I know thats the kind of counterparty I'd want if I was paying for order flow.
If he serves time, he's probably more likely to think it's "bullshit".
Just off the top of my head, I think there are stages to the problem. The first is classifying the quality of kerning. For that the training set would be pages of good and bad typography. The second stage is constructing good pages from a single set of glyphs. Programs like Amazon's Kindle do this reasonably [I'm not sure they use kerning] in real time with very limited computational resources. For typography, several orders of magnitude more resources could be employed in batch mode to achieve better results. The final stage would be generalizing the ability to layout a single set of glyphs to any arbitrary set.

The good news is that there are many examples for the first task and good tooling to accomplish it. For the same reasons that generalizing layout is a later step, restricting the domain to a single format such as journal articles or "For Dummies..." style books is a good way to go if possible. In other words, start with the narrow case.
When powershell comes up, someone always gripes about how they can't do this or that like they can in bash. I'm not going to deny that grep is nicer to use that the powershell equivalent (Select-String). But you don't configure Windows and other software in the Microsoft ecosystem by messing around with text. For example, if you had a new user and you wanted to set up an account, email address, and phone number (so AD, Exchange, and Lync/Skype for Business in Microsoft land), it wouldn't just be hard using something like Cygwin, it would probably be impossible. There is just no way to talk to those programs text streams or config files.

I guess what I always want to know when people complain about powershell is what they were actually trying to do. I think it's an excellent tool for system administration in a Microsoft environment. When you start moving away from that use case, it gets less and less useful.
That's crazy. Inflation is enourmous (and inflation is not the same as GDP variations). Any criteria that uses dollars cannot have any value in a historical series.

If you get a chart of how many people live with less than $2 per month you'll probably see a continuous steady decline. Why? Inflation.
Java 8 streams: The caveats

I have only a little crypto experience (uni courses and as a light hobby), so I could be wrong. My understanding is that a "collision attack" is a well-defined term, where the attacker chooses both preimages. An attack where you are given a preimage and a hash and must compute a second preimage with the same hash is called a "second preimage" attack. A "first preimage" attack would be finding a message that computes to a given hash.

There are different attack scenarios for each attack type, one isn't strictly a subset of another.

The paper given here describes a collision attack, so they chose both messages that result in the same hash. Further, they also generated different IV values for each SHA1 algorithm, while in practice the IV value is fixed. This is what "freestart" means.

Sure, but that's not what the parent I was responding to was suggesting. gbc0 was specifically talking about using a 104 key keyboard to write out music, so I addressed that option and it's pitfalls. Other people have addressed issues with the midi keyboard option though.

I can't really address that very well because it's beyond my experience, but I'll summarize what I've seen. The main gripes seem to be it's still a little slow to enter notes because you have to specify the note length each time you want to change it and that it takes up a lot of space compared to something like this where you can just write it out when it may or may not be your instrument.
This has been an interesting thread. Especially the comments by people who seem to think they know my feeling about climate change. It's the usual, assume and attack. Well, not all of them I would agree. Anyway, as most of the comments to me seem to suggest, I'm not a denier. I just have problems with some of the "science" involved, on both sides.
you solve property by having governments that respect citizen's property rights, having good rule of law, and a sound money policy usually with freedom of exchange. government managed economies tend to only benefit those in power or already well off.

in other words, you create an environment where entrepreneurs can successfully operate as people tend to strive more when they see their efforts pay off and those pay offs are not subject to the whims of others
He won't get 25 years. But federal sentences for any type of fraud, including those issued under the CFAA, are based upon the actual or intended loss - whichever is higher. In other words, if the government argues at sentencing that his intent was to seriously disrupt the entire paper's site for an extended period of time by giving out these credentials to a known hacking group, they can claim an intended loss of millions of dollars. A sentence based upon an intended loss of more than $1 million will start at about two years and go up from there, basically depending on how the judge feels that particular day.
Good point - I should probably spend more time working out the text on the landing page, as I could see how that could come off wrong. To be honest right now I'm just focused on making users happy with a product that's useful for them so I haven't given too much thought as to what's next. Thanks for pointing that out though - I'll definitely think about it.

Right. I think the reasonable complaint in these cases is that the damages should cover the cost of investigation that resulted directly from the breach, not the cost of fixing the original security vulnerability and/or auditing the entire system.

If you break into a bank, then the bank is right to ask for damages of amount stolen + amount necessary to sweep their building for any backdoors you might've added and repair any damage. That's fair. They shouldn't be suing for the cost of an upgrade to their security system or a new training course for their security officers.

Guatemala prior to the US-sponsored coup that radicalized che guevara and solidified in his mind the conviction that socialism couldn't work democratically when capitalist imperialists had no respect for democracy.

https://www.greenleft.org.au/node/56590

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Che_Guevara#Guatemala.2C_.C3.8... :

Later that month, Guevara arrived in Guatemala where President Jacobo Árbenz Guzmán headed a democratically elected government that, through land reform and other initiatives, was attempting to end the latifundia system. To accomplish this, President Árbenz had enacted a major land reform program, where all uncultivated portions of large land holdings were to be expropriated and redistributed to landless peasants. The biggest land owner, and one most affected by the reforms, was the United Fruit Company, from which the Árbenz government had already taken more than 225,000 acres (91,000 ha) of uncultivated land.[47] ...

The overthrow of the Arbenz regime cemented Guevara's view of the United States as an imperialist power that would oppose and attempt to destroy any government that sought to redress the socioeconomic inequality endemic to Latin America and other developing countries. In speaking about the coup Guevara stated:

"The last Latin American revolutionary democracy – that of Jacobo Arbenz – failed as a result of the cold premeditated aggression carried out by the United States. Its visible head was the Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, a man who, through a rare coincidence, was also a stockholder and attorney for the United Fruit Company."[54]

Guevara's conviction that Marxism achieved through armed struggle and defended by an armed populace was the only way to rectify such conditions was thus strengthened.[57] Gadea wrote later, "It was Guatemala which finally convinced him of the necessity for armed struggle and for taking the initiative against imperialism. By the time he left, he was sure of this."[58] "

just some context for the old refrain of "communism always leads to us capitalists whining about democracy." for you folks i dare you to read the next 40 years of Guatemala's peaceful capitalist history!

In Neal Stephenson's Anathem, there was an entire faction of monks who researched intellectual history specifically to warn modern-day philosophers when they were treading dusty ground.

In my eyes the only thing microsoft is uniquely guilty of is being the first dominant software company in a digital age.

Both apple and google have had their turn at the same position and done most if not all of the same dubious actions to end-users and developers as microsoft.

I respect a distrust for microsoft but I dont consider it rational to hate one of these big players more than another.
Then you should actually skim them; while of course their presentation as "the Halloween documents" is propaganda, they're sufficiently damning in their own right.

Could you list instances of this? Don't get me wrong, they have been absolute bastards in some cases (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I4i is my go-to example). But keep in mind it is a huge company that has done business with thousands of firms over the past few decades, so to substantiate your point, you would have to produce a pretty big list.
Awesome. I've been wanting to use the RFID pet id tags for a feeder that would block out other pets and only allow a certain amount of food (by mass) to be eaten by a specific animal. I'll be going over how they implemented it and see if I can use any of it. Thanks for this post :)
Yeah, you need to add more languages and frameworks, and not just the things that are out and popular now. I'd want to include projects from awhile back, personally, and that includes projects made from Flash. I know its unfashionable now (and I no longer use it), but it's how a lot of devs got started.

If you want game developers to find this useful, you might want to consider adding:

C++, C, Unity, Unreal SDK, Cocos2D, Lua, Flash, Havok, Direct X, OpenGL, VR. Maybe show a list of consoles to show specific console dev experience.
I've seen previous mentions of it (probably on /r/microsoft or somesuch), though they stated 3h in "tablet mode" (screen only, not design mode with the screen reverted on the base)
