People spend way more time in Facebook than email, and (paradoxically) it's way easier to get them to like a Facebook page than to enter their email address in a form and hit submit.

So yes, email is great, but marketing is multi-channel or pointless. Facebook is the single biggest channel out there.

Yes, you have to invest some $$ in Facebook to get above the noise floor, but again: that's marketing. Email costs money too. Nothing comes for free.

Ugh. No package and it requires Cmake to build.
>let's worry about that screw up after you get the remote code execution under control. Please confirm you understand this report.

This is an awful vulnerability and their immediate attempts at mitigation are sad but I feel like the Open Source community could do itself a lot of favors by avoiding this kind of tone. Not everyone working as a programmer is as good as you. Not everyone working as a programmer is any good. If you care about security here, why not concentrate on educating them. It's pretty likely the devs at any consumer hardware company aren't world-beaters; if we wanted that we would be willing to pay more than $100 for a router. It's also likely any large company has a chain of command these things have to go down through and back up again and for every link in that chain there's a greater than 0 chance the person has no idea about proper security. You may feel the security flaw is an obvious red flag that should have peoples' hair on fire but not everyone understands what you do.
It might be more useful to crowdfund lobbying for upzoning instead - if you've bought a bunch of air rights around 14th St and the city upzones the whole area those air rights won't be worth so much...

Some problems cannot be easily solved with money. Paying patent lawyers and patent royalties is an example of a problem that can be very easily solved with money.

super useful.
With a few exceptions, air rights can only be transferred to contiguous parcels (the two exceptions in Manhattan that I know of are the "Special West Chelsea Air Rights District" and the midtown rezoning around Grand Central).

Curious quirk of NYC real estate: as valuable as air rights are, the City has no formal process to track them other than through the building permit process. There isn't an "air rights" database for example.
That bug is not about using the native scrolling infrastructure. I don't see a reason why the native Android functionality would be better than what Gecko already does.

Have any of these cars ever gotten stuck? Accidents are one thing, but has a car ever been able to traverse a great distance (10+km of public roads) with the 99.9999% reliability such a product would require?

You call the car. It leaves the garage and starts heading to you. Then something comes up, something like a construction zone or other odd situation. Or perhaps the car breaks down. So the car is now stopped and alone. You're sitting by the road five miles away and the car is parked blocking traffic somewhere. Who comes to help? AAA? Wil it fight back if someone tries to tow it away? Or push it onto the shoulder to free up the lane? I doubt the general public would have much sympathy for the guy who's tesla is blocking an intersection because he didn't want to pay for parking and/or bother walking to the car himself.

I cannot see drivers using this garage/parking trick very often. It's just too slow.
Hey hudibras,

I'm Andrew, author of the Kanji Learner's Course. I just googled the book and stumbled across a friendly post you made last year about the book - thanks for the kind words! It's always nice to hear that the course is helping someone achieve their goals. Perhaps because it was an old thread I could not reply to it, so with apologies I'm replying here in this unrelated thread.

I wanted to let you know that we're working on an app that will be a big improvement on the book. If you're interested, just email andrewscottconning at gmail to let me know whether you prefer Android or iOS, and I will make sure you get a free download just as soon as the app is ready. If you might even be willing to be a beta tester, that would be fantastic. But if you would rather not, I completely understand of course.

Either way, I hope I can connect with you by email and be able to share news moving forward. If there's any way I can support your studies, it's always my pleasure to help.

Very best, Andrew
It's also amazing that with over 5 billion transistors (on a high E5). It's not transistors the cause the errors but the CPU design.
Most of the things he whines about apply to all dynamic languages, since you can't catch API drift bugs except at runtime.
I might try that eventually.
It's more like x86 beat everything, which is also saying that externally CISC/RISC didn't matter so much. I like the section on RISC here: http://danluu.com/butler-lampson-1999/ Specifically part of the last paragraph: "It’s possible to nitpick RISC being a no by saying that modern processors translate x86 ops into RISC micro-ops internally, but if you listened to talk at the time, people thought that having a external RISC ISA would be so much lower overhead that RISC would win, which has clearly not happened. Moreover, modern chips also do micro-op fusion in order to fuse operations into decidedly un-RISC-y operations."
I'm curious about your comment about Types. Types are an important part of Haskell and Haskell was largely based on Miranda.
What makes you believe they were an accident? There are more research papers about type system implementations and extensions regarding Haskell, than there are about laziness.
How does "dissent" imply totalitarianism? If someone was to believe that women should not be allowed to vote today in the USA, they would be dissenters. Does that mean the USA is totalitarian?

How would you suggest it be handled in this case? Does the author have a right to access to the Google Maps API even if Google itself offers a similar product? He admits in the article that his product is basically a wrapper for a more full-featured Google alternative.
>It doesn't require any processing power on your computer, besides the power to record and send your voice.

Sure, however this approach has a lot of downsides, such as utter lack of privacy. As we've seen many times historically the pendulum swings between thin and thick clients.

Right now the computational power needed to do this kind of processing is very expensive so it's done on server. However, faster hardware will make it possible to do it on personal devices as well.

Also worth pointing out that privacy doesn't exist for most people already. The mode of interaction with the computer isn't going to change any of that one way or the other.
I could see having multiple single-use devices becoming a problem though too, and it doesn't seem to solve the "access" problem; the single purpose device could have its own vulnerabilities (hardware or software), so it just moves the target from one device to another, while (admittedly) limiting its scope of impact.

I'm also not sure the market would like it either, considering that the smartphone has wholly replaced many single-purpose devices (camera, GPS, calculator, etc.). The convenience factor may outweigh the security factor for many.
The anecdote from the article strikes me as a really good example of why this sort of statistical profiling is unnecessary. Guy threatens his girlfriend, algorithm flags him as red, so they... call in a negotiator and successfully de-escalate the situation. I'm struggling to see how the system flagging him as red had anything to do with their actions. It was just a case of cool heads doing good police work.
> Even then, organized crime was prioritized below his private anti-Civil Rights Movement vendetta. Even though this put his policies at odds with several Presidents.

Not many people realize the FBI started as a domestic intelligence agency first and only became primarily a federal law enforcement arm later on. This would make suppressing foreign-backed or (what they deem) dangerous political dissent their priority early on.
It would be nice if Netflix made it easier to browse content rather than choosing what categories to display and show to you.

It can get stuck thinking your really like a genre, and the recommendation engine can penalize you too much for too many likes or dislikes.

Now that the website is a bit more focused towards streaming-on-computer it's somewhat harder to browse and prepare a queue.

It feels that some content is cheaper to stream and it wants to present that content first, and also that they don't really want you to be aware of the size of the catalog either.

Tempting to go back to DVD plan for a while, really, which I would do if the US Post Office was remotely reliable. If only there was a way to rent-stream BlueRay/DVD ISOs securely to a Netflix app, and have their whole catalog legally available and not bifurcated into streaming and non-streaming, that would be really cool.
It would certainly free up a lot of land which is currently being wasted on parking lots. I wonder if there will be a time when most people don't own a car, but instead they use a rideshare like that.
My experience is that interacting with people using natural language is very effective.

Only boost your few posts that are getting interest on their own. It saves a lot of money and you already know it's engaging content.

If you're not getting any interest in any posts at all, maybe your content is just not interesting. Facebook always shows some of your posts to some of your followers.
YouTube and Twitch have grown to become about 90% of my video consumption. The increasingly cheap pro-sumer quality A/V equipment and software have made the production values go up significantly in recent years, making the regular production of high-quality shows much more viable.

Now as far as the aggregation of publicly available posts to the internet, as well as corresponding that to private-state information (previous records / offences).
Its nice that SAAS today can be updated on the fly to ensure that the threat scores can become more refined, so in the example of the Yellow House score for the council member, might have been avoided.... unless hes actually a yellow based on his web traffic.....

I wonder if they apply this to pulling people over as well. Think, is the car reported stolen (alert: RED), if not then the highest color for the house hold.

Not sure. Was it the Red Green Show or "The New Red Green Show"? I think PBS took it over at some point.
The scariest part is that this kind of program drops all pretense and explicitly characterizes all interactions with the authorities in the context of the "threat" each of us poses. It anchors the discussion in terms inherently antagonistic relationship, and normalizes aggressive policing behavior. Why aren't more people scared by this?

Although it is inconvenient for law enforcement, the government should not conduct persistent, universal surveillance on the citizenry - even if it only consists of monitoring & compiling publicly available information. The value of these tools is dubious, and the potential for abuse is high; there is no accountability for the costs in comparison to the utility, and they are routinely established in the absence of oversight by design.

Mechanisms already exist for targeted surveillance when authorities have probable cause. Normalizing casual surveillance with no specific intent marginalizes the discussion of more invasive surveillance techniques, and emboldens authorities who dismiss privacy as a trivial impediment to security.

So from your garage to the street, or from a parking spot to out of, but adjacent to, the parking spot. Not from your home to your workplace.
I don't think universities should get a free pass on whatever their affiliated FFRDCs might do. If the university wants to be disassociated from an unethical action, do so by severing the tie between the university and the FFRDC, and stop lending credibility and credential to the FFRDC via the university's reputation. Otherwise, accept the fair guilt by association that will follow.
Water is the correct thing. There's not much lithium, and there's a lot of misconceptions around hybrid vehicles, for both firefighting and for extrication:

http://www.firerescue1.com/fire-products/Extrication-Tools-C...

There are YouTube videos of consulting companies throwing battery packs into fishtanks with nothing more than a fizzle.

It used to be "There are two voltage systems in a hybrid. You can cut the lines on one, but not the other". Not the case.

Really, the most dangerous aspect of a modern vehicle is HID headlights, and leaning in on a bumper where the arcing happens.

> Software design is much better and more advanced, because our industry allows us to choose better practices.

I don't know what "much better and more advanced" is specifically referring to, but in the general sense, I see SDLC processes used in the stereotypical tech startup to be cargo cult appropriation from other more mature industries.
With regards to TrendMicro I still remember having to deal with an end user who had this installed and had the "internet security" feature enabled.

It intercepted the not-quite standard response header "Content-Encoding: ps-bzip2" to our windows client application, stripped off the header it didn't understand but, of course, didn't decompress the payload.

So our application has not seen a Content-Encoding header and thus tried to run with the presumed-non-compressed response - that went really well.

Since that day, our server uses a content-type header that contains the word bzip2 :(

The icing on the cake: The customer in question told me that their cousin is working at TrendMicro and that they are by far the best virus scanner out there and that this must clearly have been my fault.

I'm not surprised that they also get other stuff wrong.

However, I'm surprised at the level of incompetence shown here. This is a security product after all.
I agree with you with regards to the tone, but when your company description is "a global leader in internet content security software and cloud computing security with a focus on data security, virtualization, endpoint protection" (emphasis mine,) at some point somebody has to take some responsibility.
Solve the problem first, and then write the code.
AngularJS is a prime example. Two-way data was a solved problem until people realized it wouldn't scale.

Single Page Applications solve a lot of problems (ex better UX, offloading load from the server, better separation of concerns) but they introduce a lot of new ones (ex SEO, UI unresponsiveness, etc).

This is the steady and painful march toward progress. Add new functionality, identify the weaknesses, ditch the useless functionality, recycle the good parts and start again to test new assumptions.
Imagine that this is just employing machine learning, where the training set is police reports filled out after the fact. Is this just big data being applied to threat prediction?

If all you need is GET and SET, you're probably good with either. Not all defining tradeoffs are relevant.
If it was a lease through something like IBM Global Services they will take it back and possibly redeploy it. Otherwise, they can kind of get lost in the noise, either ending up at auction or straight to an edisposal service. They are usually parted out at that point to sell spare parts, because the licensing makes it nearly impossible to use one of these w/o involving and paying IBM, usually monthly. Otherwise they are crushed for precious metal recovery. Kind of sad ends for such works of art.

The Linux dichotomy IBM created is pretty stupid. I don't know why you'd want to run a tire fire on such expensive HW, sure maybe utility VMs, but not as the raison d'etat. Instead they should be a lot more willing to provide cheap z/VM, z/OS, z/TPF licenses for smaller shops to build up an ISV, admin, and porting community. But they charge thousands of dollars for an emulator when Hercules is freely available and ADCD is quite restricted.

I recently bought an older one for the cost of a soda https://twitter.com/kevinbowling1/status/685240077161598976. I would warn against doing this for a number of reasons, namely FICON storage and licensing, but if you are determined it is a lot of fun.
To add on:

For example, monads don't "compose" as nicely as applicatives. You can automatically compose two applicatives and have a guarantee the the result obeys the applicative laws. Like you say, for monads you would have to write your own monad transformer, and hopefully verify it is still a law abiding monad. You don't have to write a transformer for applicatives.
I second this as a frequent user of leaflet and openstreatmap. I started using both about 2 years ago and it's remarkable how much progress has been made in such a short amount of time.
> but I feel like the Open Source community could do itself a lot of favors by avoiding this kind of tone.

To be accurate, that comment was from a security researcher at Google commenting on a closed-source software project. I agree that the tone of the comment was not beneficial, but I don't view it as being associated with or reflective of the open source community.
Your wish will not be fulfilled!

Andrew gave an enthusiastic talk on the benefits that IRAP has had on Netsweeper; explaining how they started out in 2002 with an IRAP YEP grant (Youth Employment Program) and then moved on in subsequent years to get IRAP project funding that enabled them to develop very innovative and what sounds like potentially very profitable technologies in the Internet content filtering area."

Last line is pure gold in retrospect.

They are selling a security product. They are the ones that should already know these things.

What do lolcats have in common with the word OK?
x86 beat everything largely due to momentum. Intel had the greatest ability to invest in process shrinking technology and the brute force to engineer their way out of architectural dead-ends (see NetBurst).

Now that process shrinking has become extremely difficult, everybody else is starting to catch up.
Apps that are secretly using a private api (maybe not all the time to skirt the review process) might break, hard.
First: I love me some Netflix. But that doesn't mean I think they can't improve, so:

Second: I don't see how this is the case ("...prevent users from realizing how light their catalog really is.". Looking at what they show me when I search or browse already makes the selection look anemic. Using a few of these codes helped me find stuff I didn't know was there.

Free software ameliorates this problem. The code is free to live on independent of its authors or parent organization. Sun may or may not have killed its business by making all of its software open and free, but the community benefited from that immensely when Oracle took over. We don't have to start from scratch, just have to use free software.

Your post also seems to assume that everyone will upgrade to the "next release". On platforms where you get to control your upgrade cycle, people won't upgrade if the upgrade breaks the programs they want to use, and this acts as a check on gratuitous API/ABI breakage.

Microsoft takes this extremely seriously and has hardly any API breakage over the last 20 years because they know that there's a real threat that a competitor could emerge with WINE pre-bundled and take away some market share if they break a lot of programs.
> Not everyone working as a programmer is as good as you. Not everyone working as a programmer is any good.

sure. But then don't work on a security software suite. Or have bosses who properly code-review the commits.

During the time this vulnerability existed, machines running TrendMicro were infinitely less secure than machines not running the security software. This is severely wrong and IMHO warrants the very harsh tone.

This wasn't some obscure buffer overflow, sandbox escape vulnerability. This was running an RPC server over HTTP allowing full remote code execution over JSONp (or an <img> tag for that matter).
