Most password managers are heavily audited. Likely why the Trent Macro one wasn't is because nobody with any technical sense is installing their nonsense to begin with.

But LastPass, Keypass, Chrome's password manager, Firefox's manager, and IE are audited all the time, with tons of exposé articles supposedly trying to inform us about how weak they are (but all these articles do is further clarity how strong they are, since they only find trivial issues, or they misunderstand a feature as a bug).

I cannot recall the last time any of these had what I would consider a REAL security bug.
Ah ok, got it. But is running that slow that you need special hardware?
Thanks for the comment. The projects will be spanning wireless network decomissioning and maintenance projects for 3G sites nation wide. Other projects will be wireline networks needing rack and stack, patch panel repair, swapping out of PBX phones for IP phones, and data center consolidations.

Woah, you drive with your cruise control on in bad weather conditions like that? I was always trained to never, ever use cruise control in adverse weather conditions. Without having your foot on the accelerator to be able to quickly react to a skid or whatever just seems insane...
Scientists getting involved in (U.S.) politics may be a good thing given the current state of matters. Sure, we don't want politics distracting our best scientific minds, but at the same time this might lead to slightly more sane policy decisions (like giving the EPA more teeth).

I thought it came from a play on the naming convention. I don't have the source but it went something like this:

System/360 - The system for the 60's

System/370 - The system for the 70's

System/390 - The system for the 90's

System/Z - The system for the 2000's, which sounds like a Z to some at the end.

This is unusual for Apple to release this many features in a point update. If I had to guess, I think this will launch with the rumored 4" iPhone around late February or March
This is not the interesting point of his comment, though. The interesting part is, even in a world where stranger kidnappings were more common - letting the child pick an adult to ask for help is extremely safe.

It's letting an adult choose to approach the kid first where the stranger kidnapping even becomes a statistical possibility.
And I think this is where Musk's other venture, SolarCity, will likely come in to play. They'll have 'gas stations' across the US, where the Tesla charging tech will be installed for all EVs - though I'd assume Tesla to be a first-class citizen at these.

Tesla always struck me as taking the 'Apple' route of logistics - controlling the supply chain from start to finish. I'd be surprised if they'd support third-party enterprise, but I doubt they'd attempt to undermine it.
Sorry, I meant to say the author of the NOVEL is a security expert.

And I dare say, the developer of the Daemon virus proved he was a security expert, too.

SPOILERS:

I ended up thinking of the Daemon not so much as an AI, but as an OS, with very many sub-programs hard-coded into it... But for the most part, I thought what made Daemon so smart, and the novel so compelling, was how much it relied on humans to help it achieve its goals and make decisions. The depiction of how people banded together to make the Burning Man, for instance. The OS allowed that, and exposed APIs that made that possible, but the decision to actually make it and the morality encoded into it were created by humans, after Sobel had died. I guess I end up seeing the Daemon not so much as an AI, but as a sufficiently well-designed Chinese Box, with very capable humans inside. (Some willingly, some blackmailed.)

This is the most interesting part, to me:

> No barriers.

Robin comes with an unlocked SIM, so you can choose the right carrier for you. And because we think what you run should be up to you too, we’ve made it as easy as possible for you to customize Robin. Its unlocked bootloader and open source drivers make it easy to load CyanogenMod or any other ROM you want and Robin will still be under warranty.

I'm not up-to-date on my Android phones, but my impression is that this isn't particularly common. Most of the concerns I see on this thread are complaints about how secure it is to sync one's data on someone else's servers... but doesn't this make it much simpler to hack around with the phone and disable that functionality? (Or perhaps even set up syncing with one's own servers?)
Its easy to dismiss things as obvious when theyre done well.
I've always longed for better filtering/sorting options on the home screen. Currently I believe you have to go into one of the category screens to have sorting options.

My other pet peeve with Netflix is the duplication of content across several of the home screen categories. Some are almost identical at times, just in different orders.
> If it wants to get you, it will abuse any information available

That's exactly the point. Therefore helping that abuse (by either being lax with privacy, or by assuming it's pointless) is not something that you should be doing if you care about this issue.

> But let's not delude ourselves - if the government turns evil, we're fucked either way, and no amount of Internet privacy will help much.

It's not an argument to ignore this. That's the whole point of pushing for FOSS, privacy respectful technology, no DRM and so on. The more pervasive the technology is in society (and it's surely becoming so), the higher is the potential of that abuse if said technology is prone to it. So taking care to prevent it on all levels is essential if you care about it as an individual.
> since API clients are essentially renting the vendor's platform and launching businesses based on this, there needs to be some legally-enforced stability. I would like to see something like a landlord-tenant relationship.

Except when a tenant is kicked out of their apartment with no notice, they might literally die. When Routebuilder gets shut down (with at least 2 weeks notice if not more, according to the article), someone organizing a marathon might... have to use a different, also free service?

And let's not forget that Google is a private enterprise offering an absolutely insane amount of data and access for free. The bar for "legitimate reason" to revoke API access is (and should be) legally no higher than "Google wants to." They actually go quite a bit above and beyond by having Terms that you can read and that as far as I can tell they abide by.
Humans haven't been able to figure it out either (so many Winter accidents). At least the automated car will drive slowly and at a safe following distance.

There are a bunch of categories in the OP list I don't see either. Canadian happens to be on my mine, for whatever reason. Pretty annoying. (Almost as much as continuously recommending movies that I've already watched and rated.)
I didn't thought about the history/versioning possibilities, they sound very interesting.
The rules per contact for phone numbers is also interesting.
I would say maybe avoiding adding more complexity to the os is part of the reason those things won't get implemented while others as the time/zone calendar issues means inter-zone is broken.
Did you really expect to get a response other than "It's basically impossible to have a plan of response for something that nobody even knows how to build"?

I'm just tired of hearing unproductive questions like this to which any response other than "we don't know" is literally science fiction. Andrew's response would have applied equally to teleportation.

Why don't we talk instead about how methods such as deep learning actually do work, and what problems that have been successfully applied to?
I'm not seeing anything that would suggest they are that close. Automatic, assisted driving on motorways, or very very well mapped out cities - sure. But autonomous where you can go to sleep on the back seat or indeed summon a car to you? Probably 50 if not 100 years away. And not only because of technical problems.
Hence the snakebot:

https://my.teslamotors.com/sv_SE/forum/forums/snakebot-autom...

'Without the snakebot, you can still summon your car from garage but it has to be unattached, unplugged.

With the snakebot, it will disconnect the charging cable automatically for you when you summon your car.'
> I just don't see the practicality in this specific functionality that they're rolling out

Not all of us live in mansions. My garage will barely fit the S or X. Not having to squeeze in there and get into the car in the driveway is a huge win.
As much as I love TSLA, they always time their announcements a bit cynically. Summon is great and awesome, but as a task itself is a very niche utility unless it can park itself lets say in malls or in public spaces. The real story is they want to be in News cycle esp. with Detroit Auto Show going on now and more and more mainstream Automakers getting the plugin religion.

The bigger news is the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica PHEV, which is more of a game changer from impact perspective.

edit: Also who is going to plugin the Car, if it self-parks?
On the bright side, they reacted relatively quickly for such a large company, and fixed the vulnerability.

Whoever is in charge of security for that project must be pretty embarrassed (or the person doesn't exist)... Also no audit? cmoooon.

I actually thing we're in a philosophy boom, with recent developments in quantum mechanics and the synthesis between the two subjects. There is a lot of research in this area, about quantum mechanics, thought experiments (Chinese room), turing tests, complexity/computational theory of mind (Bostrom simulation argument, singularity) and connection to free will and other philosophical concepts. Philosophy becoming more STEM-like.
Maybe I'm just ignorant, but I don't see post-structuralism or deconstruction as having all that much to say about daily life. (Almost) nobody actually lives that way. That is, when you go out for a beer with your friends, you talk to them as if humans can actually communicate, and as if the message sent will be (approximately) the message received.

The JIT scheme worked well for future-proofing for decades. That means it's an approach others should consider emulating if they're not yet. Only thing I couldn't figure out, due to IBM terminology, is if the compiled output is actual microcode or just CPU instructions. Or if they both create a optimized, microcode implementation and a JIT to move things to it.

Integrating DB-like functionality into the system was ahead of time. The original, System/38, had capability security in the hardware enforcing an object-based view of memory with permissible operations on different types of objects: processes, I/O, arrays, stacks, and so on. The security implications of that means I'd recommend one to a business in a heartbeat if they hadn't ditched that for POWER.

https://homes.cs.washington.edu/~levy/capabook/Chapter8.pdf

All in all, System/38 was a very, forward-thinking and practical design that continues to prove itself year after year. If it doesn't exist, I'd like to see a Lesson's Learned report on that project and how the team decided what would be in it.

You could get 8% from dividends if you're specifically hunting for dividend stocks, buying individual stocks, and only buy when they're at that level. The Australian stock market has had lots of opportunities like that over the years, where major brands have had falls that briefly made them terrific bargains. But it would have to be your specific strategy.
Not everybody has to catch those flaws. But if you are a security company and RELEASE that kind of crap, then it wasn't an instance of a poor guy new to security making a mistake, it is a catastrophic failure of your entire organization. Not properly fixing it means even after they were informed of the issue they weren't able to put people with the necessary skills on it. Which means either that the message didn't reach the appropriate people or that they don't employ enough of those. In both cases, you should not sell security products.

This is no small bug that was overlooked in a code review. The pure idea of several things in it is so crazy that even suggesting them is a massive red flag. Actually implementing it?!

If it goes through a chain of command, then ONE person realizing how bad this is should be enough.

> Woah, this isn't at all what the poster said, or even implied.

Yes it was.

They said (paraphrasing): Women are ok. Men are not. "Mommies" (i.e. women with kids) are even better, dads are not.

If that isn't what they meant, that's fine, but that's definitely what they implied. There's no other way of reading it.

> In any case, men would statistically make up a higher percentage of child molesters, etc.

Perhaps, but we're talking astronomically small chances here.

Plus if you look at those offenses the number of child molesters who molested strangers is even tinier than the number who did it at all. The vast majority assaulted friends or family (which your advice does not protect them from).

The risk of a child getting lost and asking a child molester who is willing to kidnap them for help is near a rounding error in unlikeness.

All you teaching your kids to distrust men and male role models is doing is screwing them up, it isn't keeping them safe.

So rather than working at the edges of social and natural sciences, looking at the unknown and feeding back (perhaps not as much as it could), as western analytic philosophy does now, they seek a return to a time when a philosopher was prized for obscurantism and bon mots rather than an increase in clarity?

So... they haven't heard of people like Slavoj Žižek? Is that what they want all of philosophy to be like?

A group attempted this in a state lottery which I saw in a documentary about it a long time ago. There weren't even close to the numbers or potential gain involved in the Powerball and needed a fair bit of luck rather than all the numbers, but still they profited big. Back then I think the problem was that they couldn't print and submit the paper lottery tickets quick enough to get all the numbers, so ended up just chancing it. I guess using the internet these days should make it quicker, but still, in the UK last weekend the online demand for a £50m prize lottery managed to shut down the online site.

Unlocked phones aren't necessarily uncommon, if you're in the USA all "mobile wireless devices" can be unlocked in some manner[1]. It's nice that they give you an unlocked bootloader out of the box, but most popular Android bootloaders have been community unlocked in some manner. And I assume if you're willing to go to the effort of disabling their entire sync service you're kinda just left with a regular Android phone, and it'll probably be hard to replicate the entire stack nextbit has to sync on your own server.
