Question: Is the app traversing the permissions boundary, AND uploading over the network twice a minute?

or...

Is the app traversing the permissions boundary, and CACHING deltas on the device, for a deferred, less frequent upload of detected differences within a longer time period, perhaps phoning home once every 24 hours, to pass a message that indicates no changes, or only the current diff, OR the complete series of changes, even if there's no net difference, since the last upload?

Traversing the permissions boundary can trigger a counter, while traversing the network boundary might be an independent permissions request.

It's not clear if the author of the article has insight into these differences.

Both scenarios still have the same net effect on privacy, reducing the privacy of the user.

The difference here, being a tradeoff in possibly some low-watt brief increases in CPU load, and more expensive network/radio traffic, possibly also affecting mobile data/bandwidth caps.

23k means it's polling all the time, not just when you are using it. I think there's no technical justification for this whatsoever.

That's just not true. It changes exactly nothing in the amount of guarantees provided by a DV cert. They guarantee that you are communicating with the domain you think you are communicating with and that there is no man in the middle. Self-signed certs can't provide that guarantee.

Of course there's still the question of how trustworthy are the CAs. But I don't believe them charging money for DV certs has any impact on that either.

Might not work for your development needs, but such a feature exists in PHPStorm/Webstorm, and I'm guessing probably all of the other IntelliJ products.

There is a 'TODO' tab that shows you all 'TODO's in your project directory. Like so: http://i.imgur.com/TW4jXN8.png
I guess I'm one of those old-timers who misses the days when the submissions were more focused on startups and less about government policy, macro economics, and whatever else

Put me in the same category, FWIW. I've adjusted to the new way of things, and just accept it for what it is. But I would prefer less politics, world affairs, economics, etc., and more focus on tech and startups.
I don't think AWS is chasing the Small Business market (but they probaby want the Medium Business market), they are looking for the enterprise market. I doubt AWS turns much, if any profit on a 4 server implementation when support costs are factored in. Instead of 100 4 server customers, they'd rather have a 400 server customer.

If I had a small static site that could be served by a few dedicated servers, I probably wouldn't use AWS myself. But, for me, the power of AWS is the elasticity - I can scale from 100 servers to over a 1000 servers and back down to 100 servers in one day - and those servers are distributed across 3 regions. And I have nearly a petabyte of data in S3. If I ran my app on dedicated servers, I'd need to pay for 1000 servers to handle my peak load, and I'd need a large petabyte-scale storage array (well several of them for redundancy).

I'm probably biased in thinking that my use case is more what AWS is seeking since they provide a good API and powerful tools to enable exactly this use case.
The duration of this decline is unprecedented. In 2008 indicators bounced back in months. This decline started in late 2013 early 2014 and appears to be increasing in intensity.
There's a very great difference between using BSD on the desktop vs. using it on a server. FreeBSD is years behind Linux in desktop support in terms of GPU drivers (still no haswell graphics support), desktop environment slickness and audio latency etc.

It will fall further behind still in the near future, as desktop Linux embraces Wayland.

On a server though, it's just fine.

Commodities are cyclical. There's been a long boom. The party is over for oil and metals. The inefficient will fold up; the strong or smart will hunker down and wait for the inevitable upturn.
Importing libraries from other libraries like this is very useful:

$ python
>>> import lib
>>> lib.re

That's how __init__.py files work, and is part of what makes Python awesome. Using `import *` is very bad practice in modules (except in very specific cases) because it brings in a bunch of crap you don't want and didn't expect. Modules should define a '__all__' list of 'public things' you want to export, but restricting access is very anti-python as we're all consenting adults.

If it's undocumented in Python, you should pretend it doesn't exist.

I don't agree. It's fairly common to dive into 3rd party packages code to see what's occurring and to use 'undocumented' things (which is mostly because the documentation is bad rather than being hidden away). Just look at the Django `_meta` API, which people relied on because it was the only place you could get some specific model information in a stable way, despite being undocumented and private. Now it's been formalized into a proper API.

Pythons extensive use of duck typing also makes it a lot easier to work with undocumented stuff, you can make some wide ranging changes to internals (changing types completely, turning properties into functions) but as long as it quacks roughly the same nothing breaks.

I agree, I didn't think it was really that effective for the amount of time and effort they had to put forth. Not to mention the fact that I got 2 follow up emails (1 on the NYSE) really angry going after them legally.

Well, I would assume any expansion would not be mentioned because anytime someone mentions that type of information they are immediately attacked as "helping the enemy". The conspiracy theorist in me suggests that making the then current levels of surveillance proper under the law just causes them to increase the levels again afterwards. I expect in a year or two there will be talk of making the new higher levels of surveillance, previously hidden, properly legal. Rinse, repeat.

Sure you can. You just have to write "throws Exception" after all your function signatures.
The most interesting part of this debate is how it mirrors the gun control debate, with the biggest difference between the two being the people advocating each position.

Both debates are about the attempt to restrict something which is very difficult to restrict. In both cases,there is a fundamental principle of liberty at stake, but only the advocates for that liberty appear to care about that principle. Relatively few could be argued to be harmed by the weapons/encryption (in the manner which proponents of restriction believe they can prevent), and even where governments have abridged those rights, the results do not clearly demonstrate that restrictions are efficacious. Proponents also make their strongest pushes for increased restriction in the face of great tragedies in both cases.

The only groups which seem to have consistent positions through these two debates are the libertarians, anarchists, and statists (; a strange list in my opinion).
JavaScript vs. Python, huh?
I would argue requiring parking and elevators fall exactly into my point that the problem is restrictive zoning. In the general sense the solution here should not be forcing people to make do with terrible living situations, it should be fixing the laws causing these problems.

If you want more ADA units, require a certain % are ADA compliant. That basically means in larger buildings the first floor units will all be ADA. Do we really need the elevator? Do we really need to still mandate off street parking a world of Uber and soon self driving cars?

This is a fascinating problem, the "Project Management Tool dilemma": there are hundreds of software alternatives out there, and there seems to be another one coming out everyday, and nonetheless there is always demand for new solutions, and no clear leader in this segment (altough Jira is pretty ahead, and Trello is the strongest newcomer). I've been struggling myself trying to find one in my new work context. I guess there are so many project use-cases, that it's impossible to have a one-size-fits-all solution (and get the pricing right!).

It could be fun to have a global online poll to see who's using what, to know which tools are the most popular, just out of curiosity.

This article makes a great point regarding ISIS aim to turn western nations against the refugees. I can't even fathom how it feels to be forced from your home, then be greeted with hostility just about everywhere. It's not hard to imagine developing the sense of hatred that leads to irrational decisions (like joining ISIS), especially in the younger refugees.

I have no idea what the solution is, but I think it's clear banning refugees isn't it. I understand the fear, and I'm as scared as anyone about the potential for new attacks. Still, we need to unite everyone against ISIS, not drive new recruits towards them.
The vast majority of ISIS's victims are Muslim. Muslims that don't recognize their Caliphate are infidels (according to them).
I don't see how a recall can be a marketing ploy. Please explain

What makes you a "tech company"?

I took some time to try to think of what defines a tech company, and it's hard to draw the lines.

Would be interested to hear what you think.
That must get complicated. I see that Coinbase is incorporated in Delaware. Let's say that there's an online retailer of sex toys with a Coinbase account, and that they're incorporated in China. That business is legal in both the US and China, right? But what if they sell to customers in some nation where sex toys are illegal. Does that put their account at risk?

We could discuss the technical side, sure. Maybe they can cache the list or create better code to do it more optimally. There might be battery and data usage considerations too, that's true.

But this article revolves around the trope of "if it's free you're the product", and altough it might be true, I don't think the 23k thing is a proof of it. That's what I meant with my comment.
Terrorists make common cause with established governments when they inspire fear in the governed.

The design goal of terrorism it to provoke overreach on the part of the authority being targeted. But you can't get an allocation of funds for your open-ended anti-terror programme if you say this.

After fiftyish years of television and 100 years of movies, people's willing suspension of disbelief impulse is ragged and raw. It's both hair-trigger and numbed. And since the mode of the terrorists is akin to blood sacrifice, it's even more profound.
What every programmer should know about memory:

Even though it may not seem so at first, memory is very lossy, especially in old age. So, write comments, write documentation, make notes. Diagrams help too.

It's best to acquire these skills at early age, since at older age memory stores also require more cycles.

There are also ways to boost memory. One option is that emotionally charged events are very well remembered. Thus, don't be afraid to experiment; the bigger mistake you make, the better you will remember it.

Edit: Ah, nevermind. Apparently this is a different type of memory that programmers have to deal with. Still, I hope this advice was useful.
I think this would dovetail well with the strategy of keeping user data out of URLs by having generic pages and then xhr'ing to fill in the data reactively. (There is probably a nifty marketing name for that strategy but I don't know it.)
As another counterpoint, my small business that runs full-stack in AWS and FreeBSD - I am most certainly not perfectly educated in server and network management, and actually excel in software engineering as opposed to server management and configuration.

AWS lets me get shit done. I know enough to get several services running on an EC2 server, and I don't have close to the $100k+ required to hire an excellent network engineer.

That's part of why AWS, GCE, and DO (and their contemporaries) exist. I'm more educated than most at this point, but that's only because of doing when necessary to get things done.
Why I Left the Best Job in the World
One incident 30 years ago != "routinely".
That seems kind of self-fulfilling. If the process is slow and bureaucratic then naturally only slow, bureaucratic organizations will get them. But maybe demand for EV certs would be greater if the process was more streamlined.
"The cost of the worldwide recall will be "immaterial," the company said. The problem was discovered after a single report to the company in early November of a seatbelt assembly breaking."

"A Tesla spokesman said Friday there have been no accidents or injuries related to the problem. Tesla officials emailed owners of the battery powered luxury sedan asking them to bring their cars to one of about 125 Tesla service centers worldwide for an inspection."

"Tesla may send service technicians to customers if necessary, a spokesman said. The company sells and services its cars with its own personnel and stores. Other automakers get recall repairs done through networks of dealers."

So, they start by mentioning it's an immaterial cost, which eases investor concerns. Then say that they're taking action after a single customer anecdote, which shows driver safety is paramount. Then mention that their have been no injuries/accidents furthering the safety-first narrative. Then they state the number of service centers worldwide to which a customer can go to have the issue addressed. And finally a nice jab at traditional automakers, saying that Tesla will address the issue with its own personnel whereas it would traditionally be outsourced.

So, yeah, I think it's fair to call it a marketing ploy. And I don't mean to sound super critical or cynical. I don't have any problem with it at all, it just is what it is.
"Don't pay any attention to what they write about you. Just measure it in inches." andy warhol but tesla seems pretty dedicated to maintaining a really strong pr image and messing up something as simple as seatbelts seems like a bad thing
I'm Colleen, the editor of The Macro. Thank you!

It's more focused on the latter, but there is a "Hacker News Highlights" section that we'll probably update semi-regularly.
It wouldn't be surveillance on you as part of a group, it would be on you as an individual. Most likely it would involve just enlarging the number of incidents or situations that would trigger a surveillance order on you.

Doesn't matter, that type of surveillance will be incredibly easy in the near future. Whether we want it or not.

Redphone was only on IOS and there are not similar entries under Android->Signal.

It'd be nice to figure it out, but I guess it isn't that important, Signal still leaks lots of metadata, so anyone that would be burned by sharing their contacts isn't gaining much by using it (or any other mobile comm...).
we don't know how to make computers understand ambiguities, that is the problem. Yacc always selecting the first option isn't necessarily right nor how we would solve the problem, we choose the option that makes the most 'sense'.

Of course what is 'common sense'? Something that only comes about when you have a billion neurons doing your calculations perhaps.

Also if computers had human level understanding we wouldn't need Yacc rules at all; we can recognize from 100's of different languages just by looking at them, even partial code, despite all the ambiguity of putting all programming languages into one Yacc grammar.

Yes, there's a big opportunity. But U.S. customer-facing financial companies - especially startups - have been really bad at doing stuff outside the U.S.

I grow weary of all these "games for coders" because they end up just being algorithm optimization games. Why not a game where every week the API you code against changes in random, non-backwards-compatible ways and maybe you get advance warning and documentation and maybe you don't. And your code should randomly error or fail to deploy because some personnel are on vacation, or left to get new jobs and so on.
That would be a (perhaps rather foolish) variation of the “explicitly indicate that you will propagate it” case.

Pivotal Tracker is great for what it's intended for, but it's a very opinionated tool. It's not a good repository for storing a large number of bugs or features, and as such doesn't have fancy features like "X blocks Y".

If you have an external system for your features (we just use a google docs roadmap) and immediately triage bugs (will fix next sprint, or won't fix), it works great. Lots of discipline required, though, and it takes some understanding of their specific approach before things start to make sense.

To be fair I think the outsourcing of servicing was a comment from the report not from Tesla. It seem more to me that the recall and the process is more likely for safety reason which makes business sense and at the same time they are highlighting how they are doing a good job and milking it for all the marketing it can give them. I don't see anything wrong with that though as long as they are doing the necessary first.
