I nodded when the article talked about 401k investors and corporate management being strung together with a complex web of middlemen with expensive fees and questionable motivation.

But I started scratching my head when the solution was a web of contracts/repurchase agreements/etc, most of which are secret and poorly understood was presented as the solution.

Let's be real. 80% of this new stuff is there to avoid post Enron regulation, period.
This site, while clever, is spreading potentially bad information. For instance, ive worked for plenty of companies that send out site-generated passwords. The password is stored encrypted and sent out once to the user. While not the most secure, an attacker still wont be able to get to all of the plaintext passwords if they cracked into the database.

The gist of the method of verification, from the linked slide deck:

Typically, voters get a “protected receipt”, i.e. an
encrypted/encoded version of their vote.

Cast receipts are posted to a secure web bulletin board.
Voters can verify that their receipt is correctly posted.

A (universally) verifiable, anonymising tabulation is
performed on the posted receipts.

What a nasty, judgemental, comment.

You support people to stop smoking / drinking because being a judgemental cunt and yelling "JUST STOP SMOKING" at them doesn't work, and we know it doesn't work.

Your approach literally kills babies.
While I worked at Google I noticed a huge disparity between how people responded to other Googlers and how they responded to non-googlers. A more interesting observation would be to find people you know and look for their outside interactions. If you find the same disparity as I did you might want to bring it up with them, sometimes that helps sometimes not.
This will be unpopular here but the flipside of that is I think folks overestimate how mentally taxing "learn to code" really is. The large majority of programming tasks are pretty rote at this point, it's just all hidden behind a veneer of arcane wizardry.
For my SIP home phone line, I use Asterisk with an audio captcha to filter out most political calls, I enable the captch a couple of weeks before the election, and then disable it after the election. It works well.
The Dolphin Embassy was a project by Berkeley art collective Ant Farm. It's mission was to develop dolphin/human relations through the creation of a common language and a mobile laboratory. The project received funding from the Rockefeller Foundation and was shown at SFMOMA.

Ant Farm is considered significant as the first studio practice to incorporate new media in its work. Thematically it looks like they were focused on the confluence of new technology, utopian optimism and psychedelic drugs.

Iterations of the designs for the Dolphin Embassy continued into the early 2000s with a proposal for a space craft that would act as a joint dolphin-human space colony and would contain a massive, free floating sphere of water that would be ultra sonically stabilized.

So cool! One of my favorite art pieces!

"Calling a one man indie who just had a stroke of success greedy and powerful is silly."

Actually it is greedy for one man doing one thing to legally control that thing and charge whatever he wants for 100+ years. The things many workers create are much more valuable with little to no legal protection and far from guaranteed pay. So, there's should be a strong benefit to the public over no copyright if we're going to give the owner this much special treatment, power, and money.

For most content, I'm not seeing much of a difference between the one's that do it for pay vs those that do it for fun. Only seems to factor in when the development or production cost is high enough where one needs to recover it. Complex software, video games, and SFX movies come to mind.

Even then, the protections could be weakened after the return on investment came. Instead, we're seeing a lot of great stuff pulled off the market or still charged full price to force you to buy the next thing. That benefits only owners with provable harm to the public, esp with legacy software. The opposite of what system claims to provide. So, it's worth remembering that there's first part of getting authors paid and second part of what happens after. Both are corrupt in current scheme.
HN has overeager mods. Every day I see a new link here, just to find out it was simply a rename, when the original title was IMHO perfectly appropriate.
> no evidence that synesthesia provided any specific, significant advantages during childhood language acquisition

because that was not claimed. The underlying capability forming connections, ie. exaggerated manifestation of associations and an ability most of us lose over time, is not itself synesthesia.
By rejecting a certain pattern you weakening the whole password scheme. It is no longer random, it is human chosen.

An attacker can under certain circumstances exploit this behavior. For example, if they notice you are picking shorter words or words that consist of certain characters, they will have an easier time to crack the password. Whole categories or patterns can be rejected because of that, reducing the search space.

An extreme version of your method, is picking only the patterns that relate exclusively to you, like picking your favorite music or hobbies. Then the whole scheme becomes useless.

> Those items (cheese, wine) are not covered by copyright, as they have no literary or artistic value themselves.

In case of actual still-lifes, the labels might bear illustrations or otherwise protected content, like fonts, distinct bootle designes, or trademarks. While the latter might be allowed under fair use, what about reproduced, if even only stylized, illustrations? Do you expect an artist to find the illustrator and pay a license fee, in order to sell their own work?

Also, fair use is a us-american practice and isn't applicable to copyright and similar concepts in general, as far as I'm aware.
Headline is misleading.

What's going on here is that the GCC developers feel free to change the generated code for behaviour undefined in the C spec. This means they might alter the behaviour of code since 40% of all packages in Debian (the "half of all packages" mentioned here) contain code whose behaviour is undefined.

But the poster seems to define any change in behaviour as "breaking" code, which is ridiculous. How much of that 40% is rare edge cases or similar, such that in reality the behaviour of the code doesn't change in practice?

The follow-up email raises this exact point, noting that in the specific example of pointer overflow:

In executions where overflow does not happen, the gcc produced binary will match the behavior of the abstract machine in the C spec.

Which means that the cited static analysis, while correctly identifying code containing UB, may not actually have an issue at runtime as the condition may never occur in practice.

The real problem is any software that truly relies on undefined behaviour for correct operation (which, I'll bet, is far less than the 40% cited here). That code is fundamentally non-portable to other compilers specifically because each compiler may produce semantically different output.

I'd say the real problem is big players buy up or fund the best stuff. So, opposite of that commenter's claim, most people trying to license good content are going to be doing business with medium-to-large firms that are quite greedy and won't give the time of day.

In my wedding video example, it was so hard to get them on the phone and get the two licenses that some companies briefly specialized in doing just that part for people. Fee was typically around $10,000. Far cry from my teacher in middle school contacting Cinderella copyright holder and paying a quarter or so royalty to allow us to do a Cinderella play.

So, if we're giving them control, I say there should be a requirement to make it easy to get a license from them.
If not them, then who? Read between the lines...
I would also add to this statement that this shouldn't be user's problem, but service problem.
By forcing setting strange passwords services transfer their problem to secure passwords to user's shoulders.

Instead of following shitty password rules in forms, it's better to make it very hard or expensive to brute-force these passwords. So any heuristics to identify ubnormal/dangerous activity and take an action by decreasing attacker chances like rate limiting/captchas and so on.

* If you see one IP trying to login with incorrect creds with really high rate - then it's probably attack.
* If you see really lots of IPs trying to crack specific user account at the same time - then it's probably attack.

Instead of that I can see the opposite practice: service set draconian password politics, but just allow requests with incorrect credentials without any limits: "30req/sec? You're welcome, buddy! Need an API maybe?"

I can suspect something like this happened before:

"It looks like a lot of work with rate limiting and all the stuff, let's just force our users to set 10+ character passwords with one+ capital letter, one+ number, one+ special character".
Oh, and in these examples there is usually cherry on cake like:

- Dev1: "Let's not allow 2 same characters or 3 characters of same type"
- Dev2: "Let's also force our users to change their passwords every 3 months"
- CEO: "Brilliant ideas! We're secure now!"

These surprises are up to every developer's/another genius infosec imagination :)

So, my conclusion is that best security systems should be almost invisible to normal users and let attackers screaming.

So there is a receipt but, in the interests of preventing tampering (?), the voter won't be able to understand it.

It still requires a complex software system that no lay person (and no expert in short order) can verify.

That problem remains and it isn't really a technical one. Any voting machine has to be able to be verified using simple visual, mechanical inspection for the people to trust it. More technology will only undermine trust further.

If it takes a 56 page PDF to explain, and an explanation on encryption... it's too complex.

Maybe risk of having your marketing budget shamelessly exploited would make you put less money into it. Which would be great because marketing is ever growing tax on creativity.

>The study also focused on young moms, using their youth as a proxy for low income, so its subjects might have been less disadvantaged than their American counterparts to begin with.

The article does mention that similar programs did show good results in the Netherlands and Germany (if at a smaller scale than in the US). I don't think the article really answer the question it raises. It seems odd that you would keep smoking or drink just because you have universal healthcare. It that was the case it would indicate that we care more about our finances that our health (which might be true).

I was referring to mental rotation ability, I clarified it in an edit.

I also don't have time to go into the studies you linked about general differences but similar studies have been debunked before. For example with 1.5 day old infants where the experimenters knew about the sex and their bias subtly corrupted the experiment and it did not reproduce when the bias was truly accounted for.
No, we're talking about copyright and the money it brings. That's the primary reason for its existence that I can tell. Copyrighted works are a multi-billion dollar industry. They're also extremely, one-sided laws thanks to lobbying by big companies that own most of the I.P. (esp profitable). So, when conversation comes up, it makes no sense to act like it's Joe Public vs The Little Guy given that the laws are mainly designed to benefit The Big Companies.

So, the question is, should my work and company have to keep innovating to earn at or above the market rate while a select few get 100+ year monopolies on their work? I think not.

Further, your employment contract reply is a strawman that doesn't reflect America's situation. People are typically hired by a company with either no contract or a contract written by the company for the company's benefit. Laws, passed again with corruption, often grant the company the I.P. if the slightest bit was done on their time. Other laws let the companies throw away employees without consequence. The result is that the labor market is rigged highly in favor of big companies and their lawyers with supply-and-demand lowering the wages of workers each year.

Except big companies with a nice selection of copyrights, patents, and other legal monopolies. ;) So, it's worthwhile to ask whether we should continue giving monopolies that mainly benefit richest few and were largely created via corruption. I'm opposed to it as I think artists will create regardless. I'm for models more like Patreon or non-profits behind software.
The article is just complaining about undefined behavior, and what compilers do when they encounter code not written to spec.

Since when is 40% "nearly half". Can we change the title to something like:

"40% of Debian packages might break if GCC changes the way it handles undefined behavior"
Perhaps a translation would need permission, but a total retelling would be allowed. Can you find any problems with that idea?

I look at a translation as like a tracing of someone else's artwork. Not an original drawing of the same character.
Interestingly, this is actually the Libc code of OS X 10.10.5 Yosemite. Source code for OS X 10.11 El Capitan has not yet been released by Apple.
Very interesting - might be a great way to setup a sandbox for untrusted code.

On a related note: there is also the nerves project for embedded Erlang/Elixir - http://nerves-project.org/
Now that's some flawed logic here:

- Some paper says that 40% of Debian packages have undefined behavior in them.

- gcc's optimizer is sometimes unforgiving w.r.t. undefined behavior (see also: strict aliasing), changing the intended meaning of the code.

- Therefore, it breaks 40% of packages.

Hey Alex. We treat most of these as hard constraints in our model. Some, such as consecutive days off, we will relax to a soft constraint if it breaks feasibility. Managers have the ability to modify our shifts as they see fit, e.g. to assign shifts that create overtime.

Our approach to educating users is to treat our software as "autopilot" - they don't have to understand the complexities of resource planning, timing, etc.

For optaplanner specifically - I am not too familiar, but I believe that the scheduling that they do is block-based, whereas ours dynamically adjust shift lengths. This lets us change the coverage hour-by-hour.
Apple could agree to any software licenses they wish, but they choose not to with GPLv3. There is nothing legally that prevent them from giving users access to source code, nor giving users permission to change software running on devices that they have bought from Apple.

Apple refuse to do this. No one know for sure but the common suspicion is that they want to avoid competition by locking users to a single platform where apple has a artificial created monopoly.
I don't think Android's DataBinding necessarily has a lot in common with Angular but I am not very familiar with web development so I might not a very knowledgeable opinion in this topic.

What DataBinding allows is to automatically produce 'optimal' binding logic :

-the result is entirely native code, nothing is created at runtime, nothing uses reflexion, so there is no obvious perf cost to databinding.

-the binding logic tries to be as smart as possible.for example if only some properties of the binding have changed, only the corresponding setters will be called. This can be interesting performance wise because instead some setters can be quite costly. Text is an obvious example, it might seem trivial but correctly rendering text is very complex, so if you can skip a setText instruction, you might gain some time on your UI computation, allowing you to more easily stay in the 16 ms timeframe. Even very good UI code usually does not optimize that much.

-binding code is often not very interesting : 'if name not empty then setText, otherwise set visibility to gone'. Reducing the number of code needed to achieve this is a good win, productivity wise.

If I am entirely fair, there are 2 things I strongly dislike about DataBinding :

-The binding code appears in the layout files. Keeping code and layout separates was a very good idea. It seems that the UI Frameworks team thinks that it is an acceptable compromise though, so I am ready to give them the benefit of the doubt.

-I wish to use something better than XML for layouts. Performance wise it does not matter since the compiler transcodes the XML layouts files in a more optimal binary format, but it is unwieldy at best for human writers & readers. The noise/signal ratio is just very poor and it lacks some features, for example letting us make some operations in the layout declarations 'width = dimensionA + dimensionB' would be very useful (it is of course doable in a custom view's code, but it would save us some boilerplate code to directly allow us to do this declaratively in a layout).
Depending on the branch, it's sometimes not just at risk, it's dead and buried. That upwards of 90% of soft sciences is bullshit is pretty obvious, but last few years also revealed that ~90% of results of recent medical studies are crap too. It's pretty scary, if you think of it.
