If U.S. citizen who does not reside in New Zealand who is not a New Zealand citizen broke an New Zealand law while living in the U.S. operating a U.K. operation, I don't think he will be extradited to New Zealand.

If I wanted to be subject to U.S.'s laws I'd go to the U.S.

The content owners should be forced to file lawsuits in Hong Kong or New Zealand.

Otherwise it'd be as if New Zealand and Hong Kong are mere U.S. satellite states, like East Germany to the Soviet Union.
The precedent here being that you may be extradited to a country you have never even visited on the basis of something on the internet.

If your country is friendly with Uganda, try not discussing your nontraditional sexual orientation online.

There's a bigger picture here. We desperately need to rethink what laws and in particular which jurisdiction applies. The previous approach ("all of them, all of the time") has produced any number of nonsensical results and tremendous damage in the form of forum shopping.

Yes. He's simplifying the description (though technically, he might still be correct; if only you and your pet existed in space and had no relative motion, it's entirely possible that dark energy would not exist, since we don't yet understand its origins or nature).
What he did should not be legal here. But he may have been clever enough to be at least in the grey area of the law. At least the law in NZ. From a strictly moral standpoint, he was ripping off the copyright holders no doubt and should not have been able to get away with it.

The problem is he is getting extradited on these parts of the treaty:

Receiving and transporting any money, valuable securities, or other property knowing the same to have been unlawfully obtained.

…

Obtaining property, money, or valuable securities by false pretenses or by conspiracy to defraud the public or any person by deceit or falsehood or other fraudulent means, whether such deceit or falsehood or any fraudulent means would or would not amount to a false pretense.

I'm not sure you can argue that he did that, and if that is the case, you have to ask what is going on here?

Of course, there is much to this that I don't know, but still it's a bit fishy.
Part of the reason why it's hard to fix bugs that people have worked around is because the fix often breaks the workarounds. Which causes a problem for Apple either way; either they can leave the bug in and let everyone work around it, or they can fix the bug and break all of the myriad apps that use the workaround. Depending on the circumstances, they can actually put workarounds into the frameworks to preserve bugs for apps linked against older versions of the SDK or for apps with specific bundle IDs, but not every fix is amenable to that kind of solution.

Which is to say, there's a good argument for the idea that reducing the ability to monkey-patch framework classes will make it much easier to actually fix bugs in the frameworks.

What will it break? Name one single thing.

Remember, the only change here is the _default_ for classes that don't specify it. As I stated on the list earlier, I guarantee you 100% that when Apple starts vending framework classes written in Swift they will make an intentional decision on every single class as to whether it is final or not. And the language default won't impact that at all.
Technically he has the right to appeal, which I'm sure he will do, so he's not being extradited just yet and New Zealand laws still apply.
tl;dr; Some interesting points about bits of C that are undefined. Some points valid, the other ones appear to be self-panicking unless you're heavily in the theorem-proving
correctness camp.

I remain unconvinced that memcmp of pointer values is at all interesting (viz the pointer normalization dancing acts of the early x86 memory models, ugh).

From a working programmer's point of view, it's useful to know some of the points in the paper; just read the middle third and skim the rest.

I immediately agreed with what you wrote, but now there's a voice in the back of my head asking "if this is so obviously right, why is it just happening now, after 2.0? It's not like this Lattner guy doesn't know what method calls cost..."

A post last week featured Lattner writing about Swift treating methods as final when they weren't declared that way (https://lists.swift.org/pipermail/swift-evolution/Week-of-Mo...). I wonder if the early thought was that they'd get enough mileage out of those "cheats", and then later decided that final should be the default.
One of the top 50 albums of all time used it in the title, so yeah. (Mr. Dotcom offered it as a pirated download from his service, too.)

There are significant differences.

For starters, YouTube worked with the government to establish a framework for making copyright management even vaguely tractable online where it wasn't before. https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2807622?hl=en

Kim Dotcom, in contrast, basically tried to thumb his nose at several hundred years of intellectual property law shared among the former members of the British Empire. That's not going to win you any friends among those who enforce those laws.
Cryptography is Hard
I have not, though the one time I used one of those machines the UI was very slow to respond to user input, which can be disorienting for anyone. Is it that they are all super-laggy, or are there other things that seem to trip people up?
1. You wouldn't need a car per person, only enough to comfortably serve peak demand. There's never a single point of time at which everyone in a city is on the road. (Except evacuations, but see point 3).

2. There is already about one car per person in the US.

3. Automated car fleets would presumably have a cheaper carpooling option, where the car picks up other passengers on the way to the destination. Like UberPool today.

4. Fixed-line transit costs millions to billions of dollars per mile, and easily takes a decade from planning to completion. Building roads takes a fraction of the time and money. And the roads already exist.

Technically he's being extradited for copyright infringement, racketeering and money laundering. I doubt they could have extradited him for copyright alone. Whether he is actually guilty of the last two is debatable.

I always found it quite odd that his arrest and the takedown of MegaUpload all happened during the day the internet protested SOPA... A bill that was supposed to "Stop Online Piracy", and yet they seem to take down websites just fine without said bill?
There are so many things wrong with this paper, and nearly all of them have to do with their "proof" that C is not Turing complete.

First off, they say that C isn't complete because its functions for reading/writing files are "bounded". Since most other programming languages are really just implemented in C, wouldn't that mean that either ALL programming languages aren't Turing complete, or that C is?

Secondly, they mention that programming languages that have "bignum" types get around the "bounded" memory problem (because you can access "infinite" memory). But you can implement a bignum in C...

I hope this is a joke.

He is a NZ PR. He can be tried and convicted in New Zealand under NZ law. What I don't like is American influence on NZ politics.

I have no doubt that he knew the system was being used for illegal file sharing. And no doubt he probably turned a blind eye to a lot of it because it generated money.

But he should have been tried and convicted in NZ without the influence of America.

I went to NZ in January, and I was a bit sad how much traction the LotR films had gained as 'proxy for kiwiness'. From the airline to the airport to posters and promotional material everywhere; on city streets, in supermarkets... it almost felt like LotR had become part of the national psyche, that LotR was NZ, rather than something cool that NZ had done.

I imagine it's waned a bit by now, though.
I don't disbelieve in cold fusion, the EM drive, superluminal anything, solve-all-problems nanotech, or the singularity because of the reputation of scientists.

I disbelieve them because pessimism. They're just such... "wouldn't it be great if" results. Wouldn't it be great if we had cheap, limitless, clean energy? Wouldn't it be great if we were not subject to the tyranny of the rocket equation? Wouldn't it be great if the stars really were in reach? Wouldn't it be great if all material needs were going to be met in the next generation? Wouldn't it be great if we were going to achieve godhead?

It would be great. It's so great that I just don't see it happening. It sounds like a myth people tell themselves.

This is admittedly not a logically coherent dismissal. But you can't derive anything from base principles, and if you have to have a heuristic, I think it's a more useful heuristic than a reputation-based one.
Unpopular but true fact: SOPA, while clumsy, was to codify and clarify takedown provisions, especially to countries where the US has less political influence. And also to extend DMCA-style protections to payment and ad providers.
Because the charges aren't fraudulent.

They're dependent upon the secondary copyright infringement charge, but racketeering and money laundering are quite serious.

On the other hand, there aren't billions of dollars to be made in a cottage industry from cranks claiming that fusion-like setups cause things to actually get cooler or that some form of reverse-fusion occurs. So if you have enough people looking hard enough and only publishing the best results, you'll definitely get "experiments" which show "anomalous heat". And they will definitely be "hard to reproduce" since they're just noise.

This is the slippery slope that terrifies me.

It's also not worth mentioning online you drink alcohol unless you want to be extradited to certain middle eastern countries.

Females might not want to mention online they've had sex before marriage unless they want to extradited to certain countries.

Americans might not want to mention online they have semi and fully automatic weapons unless they want to extradited to Canada/Australia/UK/Etc.

etc. etc. etc. The list is endless when a country a person has never been to can have anyone in the world extradited for something they did online which breaches local laws.

I think panic is correct. "from 1000 km/h to 2000 km/h" means from 1000 km/h to 2000 km/h, not 0-2000 kph. Though presumably Elon was thinking of the latter.
Some of the cultural issues around avoiding virtual came from hard lessons with v1.0. After shipping v1 they realized that there were a large set of security and compatibility issues with not having framework classes sealed. No-one I worked with really like the idea of sealing all our classes, but the alternative was an insane amount of work. It is just too hard to hide implementation details from subclasses. If you don't hide the details then you can never change the implementation.

I can't say for swift, but there were also real security challenges. It is hard enough to build a secure library, but to also have to guard against malicious subclasses is enough to make even the most customer friendly dev run screaming. My team hit this and it cost us a huge amount of extra work that meant fewer features. vNext we shipped sealed classes and more features and the customers were happier.

Sure. I'm not sure what your point is, maybe my point wasn't clear. I'm just saying that I've been in the position at least once where I was excited about something and I overblew its potential in solving problems. So when I see others doing it, I can relate, but know that they're likely clouded in their judgement.

When you say "C" and "Turing machine" in the same sentence, you should immediately think of how you would go about explaining a proof of, say, the fact that a one tape TM can simulate a k tape TM using C. C is just one of many languages in which you can express the state transition diagram of a TM.
Probably. It's hard to predict how language design decisions will impact performance (and everything else, such as ease of use and productivity). That's why it's good to have an iterative process (like Swift is now adopting) instead of being rigid, inflexible, and opinionated.
It's surprising that New Zealand bends over backwards for the United States like this.

There are numerous Latin American countries with known narcoterrorists and traffickers that refuse to extradite their criminals to the US, even though their criminals had a direct impact on the lives of US citizens.

On the other hand, Kim Schmitz' crimes are relatively benign compared to those committed by narcoterrorists. It just goes to show how backwards the priorities are for our politicians.

I lumped them together because those are common area where scammers concentrate on. It is sort of a sweet spot of "sounds sciency" not too hard to grasp. Because the fusion is "cold" don't have to build a Tokamak so just a few millins for some hoses and voltmeters, and other such things sounds plausable.

In general I was talking about scammers in such instances. I think in this particular case this guy is a scammer.

Yes fusion and energy research is a very worthwhile thing to study, but it is very doubtful this is happening with this guy.

Thank you.

I would like to point out that my observations as a music teacher are not limited to that one experience of teaching the children of upper middle class white Texans.

I've been involved with the El Systeme projects in South America and co-founded a Systeme project in the Philippines a few years ago with my brother.

These projects target the poorest of the poor in these countries--the same people that drug cartels and criminal gangs recruit from.

We offer an alternative to that life. And we take it not to people who can afford things like music lessons for their kids, but rather to families who have no other options.

We set up a safe building where kids can go for their music lessons, and we treat them with respect. We learn their language. We expect them to practice and get better, but we are not mean to them if they don't.

It's service to the world that gave me and my brother the talent and opportunities that we have.

Those things I mentioned in my post are things that cut across cultural and class boundaries. Those are things that bring children--who have every opportunity to go join a gang or deal drugs or go do whatever--back to the music program time and again.

It's completely anecdotal information, and I'm aware of that. But it's working in a small number of cases. Next year, we'll have a first generation of these students getting visas to come to the U.S. to study music at one of our universities.

Some of them won't just study music. Some of them are intrigued by computers, and I've been teaching some comp sci at these programs as just an aside thing.

The U.S. is going to have a few more highly motivated, extremely talented, hard working, legal immigrants next year.

I guess, if I can stop rambling for a moment, what I mean to say is this:

A lot of education isn't really about what you study or where you learn. It's about training your brain to think about things in a certain way. I think that's what Wittgenstein was getting at, in his own way.

I didn't get to be a software developer the normal way. But I learned to solve problems through the lens of being a musician, which is all about solving real problems.

I don't know what these kids will do with their lives. These ones that I've only ever taught music to. But I know that some of the ones I taught when I was 19 have already grown up to be really competent physicists, computer scientists, and psychologists, and athletes.

Maybe they would have done that anyway. It's true. We don't know.

But we know that the poor kids from the countries I'm working in right now in my spare time will not have had that opportunity. So we'll see.
