What? He waited waited until he had enough people hooked, and then, and only then did he go public.

He gently pricked our arms with ads. When he didn't get much flack; he went hog wild.

This dude is all about the money. Mark didn't want to make a little money--he wanted it all.

Hell, he tried to weasel the original founder's fathers money out of FB. Why--because he wanted the money. Oh, the foreign dude didn't were a hoodie, and a tee shirt to the office?

Exactly what is Mark's vision? It's money. I thought I got him wrong when I heard Internet.org was going to set up as a California nonprofit, but found out that was just rumor. It's not even a Delaware nonprofit. It's for profit! He'll always have complete control.

Personally, I think FB is one of the worst/dictatorial things to happen to the Internet. Will it go away--maybe in certain demographic markets, like the Bay Area. I don't run into people anymore asking me to "FB them.", and when I do go on there a lot of people I know only activate on the weekends. Will the rest of the world ever dislike FB--who knows? They still like disco.

I've hero worshiped very few tech founders. Maybe it's just me, but I always seem to see there worst traights? Maybe because I was screwed over once?

As to all his philanthropic work--it has tax benefits. People lionionize Bill Gates too. I don't get it? We were forced into buying his operating system. It's our money in that nonprofit him, and his wife play God with.
Time, it's less about new vulnerabilities being introduced and more being discovered, some issues for example like identifying some statistical bias within say the software PNRG that could potentially be used to regenerate encryption key enmass more economically also only increase with time.

That said considering the circumstances in which the "developer" of this software disappeared, how it was presented and the fact that it is not maintained anymore should make people think twice about using it.
You sound very ignorant. I don't mean this in a cruel or insulting way; you just sound like someone who has no idea what that kind of automation entails, the hard work and sweat and physical and mental labor that has gotten us to the point where that automation is viable for a (comparatively) small number of things.

A new, fast and “unbreakable” encryption algorithm
My first question is about terminology used. I get why the code example works, but the description I quoted says the reverse (i.e. "Animal is a subtype of Cat", and "Animal is a supertype of Thing"). I assume that it's an error then.

Thx for the answer to the second question :). I think my mind put an additional "by" in that sentence and got confused.

You are right. Current western litrature just is so ignorant of the discoveries on which these advancements are build.

You judge a video game based on a 2min intro video? Listen more carefully and don't judge something in 1-2 minutes.

Deus Ex 1 has still one of the best stories in a video game. It's a lot more complex and awesome you might think. And yes, the game has different endings and the player can decide if the visions of the intro becomes true. The while graphics aged though the gameplay is still great.
Researchers can't necessarily actually publish "fixes", they might give some recommendations or suggestions how to mitigate it, but they might actually be unable to publish full code fixes because it's simply not their area of expertise.

Bruce Schneier for example is some one who's able to design actual ciphers and cryptographic systems, but I'm not sure if he can actually "build" them as far as software systems go. From what I know of him, his works, and from reading his books he's a traditional computer scientists and much less of a developer, and I'm really not sure if he's up to date with the current C++ language standards and compiler architectures or insert what ever language you want here, in fact I would bet my money on the fact that he isn't but he's more than capable enough to find the right people to do that work for him.

That said based on reading the audit report form the TC audit the findings are detailed enough so if you are capable of truly understanding them you should be capable of finding a way to resolve them, if not you shouldn't be developing cryptogrphic software in the first place.
I tried, I failed. I'm probably just going to run Nemo Mobile on my Nexus 4 if I can find the time to build it.
It is also a solved problem in javascript, there are plenty of UUID (and other types of id) generators available, plus native csprng functions.
I don't agree phones are 'general-purpose computers'. They're just end-points of very large eco-systems locked down in as many ways as possible.

Here is one thread about that:

Agreed, but additionally to "one-time revenue" versus "ongoing annuity stream":

a) Acceptance, Image

The fact that they don't sell is the reason why many don't mind it as much. "So their automatic algorithms look for some key words in my mail and searches to target ads, I get better ads, they get money for clicks, what's the problem?"

Selling it would be a whole different story

b) Once you sold out, what then?

I guess that selling to thousands of companies you loose control over your information. x-many Companies have lists of high net worth investors for product category y from us, how to guarantee this information does not get out? Will be given to other companies/people? Will it be correctly used? How can we guarantee those x-many companies are storing that information securely? I can think of all kinds of issues with that business model.
In Sweden we have a silly law requiring all citizens owning TV equipment to pay a special fee. I for one would like a large "TV-like" display without a TV tuner just to avoid having to pay that fee. More about this silliness: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_licensing_in_Sweden

How about calling them Arab or south-west Asian people? Depending on the epochs and the country borders the religion trends changed a lot in that area.
Yes, I've heard about it. It's good to see that that some efforts are being made to bring these great scientists and their work to light.
Nice! But I suspect ot would have been much easier with the OpenCL driver and the current LLVM GCN backend.

It's Italy, they have quite a lot of stuff to look after and barely enough money to pay salaries these days. In fact, they should probably threaten to "pull an ISIS" and demolish something invaluable every once in a while, to see if the rest of the world cares enough to pay for it.
Do you have any evidence that all the Middle Eastern scholars from the Middle Ages (no pun intended) have been practising Muslims? Did they work in complete isolation from Europe? How so?

Also, what exactly do you mean by „the winner” in this case? Do you imply that the Middle East has lost something particular due to external forces and hasn't been developing up to its potential? If so, what is that and what were those external forces? Did they come from Europe? How so? Even Eastern Europe? Even the parts of it that were forcefully joined to a Middle Eastern fiercely expansionist country like the Ottoman empire? How so?

What browser do you use?
Have you tried using Chromium? (I still recommend Firefox though)

Chrome is basically a stable release from Google of the Chromium Browser (which in itself is an Open Source Project), as such Chrome is more tightly integrated with Google Services, Chromium should be the better choice considering not wanting to be tracked.

I think some systems (*BSD, GNU/Linux distributions) even only have Chromium available through their package systems, others possibly both.
> What the author of this article doesn't understand though is that TV manufacturers want you to replace your TV as often as possible so they can continue to make money.

The general idea, not understanding which leads to a lot of confusion, is that companies do not care about providing value for customers. They care only about extracting value from users. The two are sometimes related; often the easiest way to make money is to sell things of some value to the customers, but that in no way means that customer value is being optimized for. On the contrary - the more competitive the market, the more likely it is that what you're buying is the worst thing a producer can make that people will still buy.

TV makers don't care that your smart TV will lose half of its functionality next year because a third party decides to obsolete some API. You've already bought it, and they're pretty sure you'll buy a new one. And the feedback that a device barely works after a year does not even register with people, because they can't believe that the top-of-the line, flag product of a respected company can be utter crap (see also: the cell phone market).

Actually, since we're speaking about TV, and TV means movies... I broke through my illusions only recently. Illusions that were in part shaped by books and movies, in which (in the genres I like) humanity often brings its state-of-the-art technology to bear to fend off an impending threat. And the joke is, in real life we don't have state-of-the-art-technology. Even the military doesn't. I finally lost my hope when I heard that American soldiers complain that they're being put to fight with inferior rifles, which are inferior because someone was making money off that. And everyone knows the F-35 saga (we're probably overdue for a next episode on HN anyway).

If alien invaders from outer space came to conquer our planet, they'd be perplexed by seeing a civilization with so much potential, which yet choses to use like 5% of it.
No, most of the great scientists were not Arab. Many people mix the two up. In addition, most of the funding came from the Islamic caliphate itself, especially during the Abassid Caliphate. One of the caliphs at the time gave scientists who wrote books on a scientific topic its weight in gold. The Abu Musa family paid salaries for translators to work full-time translating works from Greek, Syriac, and Persian to Arabic.

Agree completely with this. The tracking capability today is, scary. Between Google and Facebook I've noticed some gorilla type ad behaviour. I'm basically done with both services now.

As opposed to the elected political leeches who want to use taxes slash the paychecks of people who work for a living? Politicians who aren't even honest enough to represent the true cost of the pensions they're paying up front, instead assuming a 10% return on investment every year forever and let the next council candidate make the unpopular decisions and deal with the crisis when they end up like Stockton and Detroit?

(Or perhaps we can imagine that every single state or municipal pension system can make up the shortfall by taking money from all the billionaires they have lying around. Ha.)

I'll tell you what, though. The "billionaire-financial leech" is spending money that he already has on a cause, and he will never see it again. The politician is spending someone else's money, and as thanks for this, he will earn campaign contributions from the relevant unions. Draw your own conclusions.

Sounds like you need a general project management system? I would give basecamp a go, if your needs are simple. If your needs are simpler, a text document is great and can take you fairly far. It works for a lot of people and use cases.

Most of the time, as a dev working on a client codebase, i do just fine with github issues.

But for everything else, if you're like me and have a lot of different things to capture and track, I haven't found anything that cuts it. So I'm close to launching a data platform for when you want to have your own workflows, analytics, monitoring and reporting of... anything. So you could use it to get an email every day of your open todos, or to nag you until you workout, or just simply act as a place to keep bits of information.
And another: 30 Rock implies that Kenneth's father was D.B. Cooper. In one episode he's wearing a suit passed down from his late father. The inside pocket of the suit coat is inscribed "D.B. Cooper."

Weirdly, this happened in season 6 episode 10, like the Numb3rs episode.

That's pretty awesome that you could get this verified down to the implementation. We had a related project [1], where we verified a persistent storage system under restarts. Our case study was much simpler than a full fledged file system, and we didn't verify an implementation, but we did also consider hardware failures (partial writes, bitrot, etc). Our proof rules are different though, and I think pretty interesting. But some other choices that we made were in hindsight suboptimal, and some points in your paper resonated with me in a "yup, would do it this way now" way. Really nice work!

Another way of putting this is to say that life IS work. Embrace it don't avoid it. Biologically speaking, if you are not expending energy then you are dead. So the question becomes "How will you choose to spend your energy? Will it be fulfilling?" Everyone living is constantly working, whether they want to or not, so why not make that work worthwhile?
CBT has succeeded in its public relations battle at being labeled the "scientific" treatment - but as the parent article notes, there is no actual scientific basis for that contention. Governments and industry certainly prefer the it though, as your links show.

Out of curiosity, why do you believe that making sure a therapist is a member of the BACP is important?
If you get identical MAC addresses on machines operating the same service, presumably on the same network, you have bigger problems than ID generation.
Dan Grossman of the University of Washington delivered a Programming Languages course on Coursera.

Thanks to his lecture [1], I'll never forget "Function subtyping is contravariant in its argument types and covariant in its return type" - even though I have to think to remember whether the subtype is the contravariant or covariant, I remember the principle very very clearly due to his antics.

They won't do that, because they'll earn more by selling you a whole new TV instead of an "upgrade stick". And they don't want a secondary market of TV extensions, because at this point they'll have to admit they're commodity producers.

1. Yes, quite a few of them were regarded as scholars in Islam. Some have seminal works on different aspects of Islamic science. During a certain period, memorizing the Quran and learning the essentials of Islamic science was a prerequisite to further pursuing study in the natural sciences. Keep in mind that this is not the rule, and depends on the specific time period, region, and "flavor" of Islam the scientist followed.

2. Just after the decline in power of the Ottoman Empire (around 1500 AD or so), Europe began to flourish. The Ottomans were not able to keep up, and were overpowered both in military might and scientific advancement. This worsened with the expansionary period in Europe (1600s-1700s), and reached its peak with the colonial period.

The colonization of the entire Arab World and the fall of the Ottoman Empire together were just too much - Muslims were lost. Unfortunately, they put the blame on Islam while the blame was simply on lack of unity, general decadence of the ruling elite, and pursuit of material gain rather than scientific advancement. In addition, the colonial powers themselves made sure their subjects didn't get much done. Even after they left, the effects remained for quite some time. So scientific development was put on the side, and that's where we are now.

As an example, in 2013, South Korea (pop. 50 million) was granted 120,000 patents. The entire Arab World (360 million) was granted only 7,000. We are just too far behind.
Ah so they discuss the Islamic Golden Age in school curriculums there? They don't even do that in schools in the Arab World :(
