But then you go on to speak of edge cases that precedent can't deal with, but I would argue that your view of case law as essentially "algorithmic" is flawed. Obviously precedent cannot be exact, but using prior interpretations helps guide thinking.

For example, look at Katz v. US, one of the seminal cases that would inform this case. In Katz, the court starts with existing law, one that prevents illegal searches, and tries to decide whether that law can apply to electronics (such as tapping a phone). At this point the OCCSSA is in effect, but not really tested, so we've got a pretty fuzzy legal area despite the fact that phones are a well established technology. The court rules that even though law enforcement did not search or seize things, that privacy is still implied in electronic communications because of other acts a user takes surrounding the act of making a phone call (closing the door, making the phone call from home, etc.).

In fact, there's a whole legal concept at work here called lawful intrusion that is built upon every time a case is judged. These concepts, and human application of them to the case at hand, help attorneys, judges and juries deal with edge cases.
You, sir, are an evil but brilliant mind.

Parent is actually wrong - Wine releases with the Gnome cycle, where even releases are stable and odd ones are unstable. Debian should technically be shipping both versions according to upstream release cadences - people who want stable use 1.8 right now, and people who want latest features use 1.9.
I believe you are correct. Cook probably meant that it would unlock any iPhone with the standard 4 or 6 number passcode.
It's amazing that one small organization and one isolated, small event (in terms of world history; it wasn't the fall of Rome or WWI) changed so much.

I would argue that our reacttion is what changed us, not what they did.
Depends very much on the country I guess. The only country I've been to where I saw almost everybody use a card was Norway, although they did accept cash everywhere. Contrarily in the Netherlands (where I live), cash is still quite prevalent, although there is a trend for shops to stop accepting it.
Because it's likely that it wouldn't end with "unlock this 5C" -- it would eventually extend to the government forcing Apple to either stop providing the additional security features in its newer models, or find ways to ship something that looks kinda like the security feature but isn't really.

Drawing the line in the sand at "the government can't force us to hack this guy's phone this time" thus ends up being "can't force us to provide features to hack anyone else's phone down the line".
Actually I think the main cause is overly concessional capital gains tax discounts, which are exacerbated by, and amplify, the effects of untaxed land rents. By any conceivable measure, including price to personal income, residential property is about 4-5 times more expensive compared to 15 years ago.

See: http://i.imgur.com/t0RYpOo.png

The second graph is especially telling. The value of an investment asset is determined by how much income it is expected to produce in the future. Yet even though rents (i.e. the return to property) stayed flat, the price of the asset quadrupled.

And no, at the time it was brought in it wasn't intended as a 'fuck the young' measure. It was more, 'fuck the poor'. However, a 15 year head start on wealth accumulation and a selfish refusal by the baby-boomers to entertain the idea of fixing this glaring inequity (among many others) means it has since morphed in to 'fuck the young'.

And I don't want to own a string of properties. I just want to own one. I like the idea of owning my own shelter, as a form of insurance against homelessness.

There was a presentation at 32C3 this year where it was demonstrated, live on stage, just how woefully easy it is to get an eBay bought PoS device working with someone elses merchant account. Once you've done so, all you have to do is issue a 'refund' to a card you control, perhaps already stolen itself, and then go and withraw the cash. Another method, that was actually demonstrated, was to issue a mobile phone topup, which many of these multi-function terminals can do.

I had the UltraPro as my work laptop at my last employer, and I despised it. The keyboard was impossible to work with (typos, keys didn't always register), and it felt flimsy and cheap. Not what I would expect from a system that cost as much as a MacBook. The only benefit was the powerful specs.

Indeed, at least in the US the massive increase in credit union membership has had a huge impact. Virtually all credit union personal accounts are completely fee-free (and many reimburse ATM fees and other perks), and now the commercial banks need to fight for customers. I keep getting offers from Chase and Discover for checking accounts that are fee-free and have silly perks on top ($300 opening bonus and such), and the suspicious part of me wonders if the frequency of these offers has to do with them knowing from my credit card payments that I mostly use a credit union for checking right now.
It really depends on the name. Is it generic? Is it brandable? etc... Also, is the owner someone who bought it as a domainer, or someone with a side project that never came to fruition. One way to check is if HitFarm is the parking company, or if there is a professional sales pitch to buy on the name. (vs. a godaddy parked page.)

Step 1:Resign yourself to the possibility of not being able to buy it. This is crucial because there is no incentive for the guy to not ask for a million dollars even when they are willing to sell it for ten dollars. You absolutely need to be able to walk away from an outrageous offer.

Step 2: Decide how much you are willing to pay for the domain. Since this is for your own company, the market value is irrelevant. The only metric that matters is how much its worth to you.

Step 3: Offer 65% of the amount you are willing to pay.

Ideally, you should not let the seller know you own the related domains (unless thats public). The best case scenario is that you play dumb, and pretend you are a nobody with no real commercial interest in the name. (i.e. my dead puppys name was domainname.com and I want to put a memorial blogpost on the domain and show them a terrible blogspot site that looks like a 12 year old made.)

Bottom line, unless you own the trademark on a non-generic name, the domainer holds all the cards...
It looks like that one is pure JS, using native node crypt functionality for randomness.

The one recommended in the article[0] actually includes a blowfish C++ binding, with both synchronous and asynchronous methods for comparing and hashing. That binding uses NAN[1] to queue AsyncWorkers. NAN uses libuv[2] behind the scenes to launch a thread[3].

If it's something they already had for free and are now rebranding/repurposing, fine. But, there are many other features I'd rather have, like better lists, or a more open API for 3rd party apps to build off of.
Nope. On newer devices the key is derived from a random key fused into the SE during manufacturing, a key fused into the ARM CPU, and a key randomly generated on-device during setup (derived from accelerometer, gyro, and altitude data) and stored in the SE. The SE's JTAG interface is disabled in production firmware and it won't accept new firmware without the passcode.

You can't swap the SE or CPU around, nor can you run the attempts on a different device.
If I were a betting man I would put good money on the bet that a bypass exists and is well known to the government.

I think there's yet another point to be made here. In an imperfect world, where we can't design axiomatic systems that are corner-case free and where we can't get stuff right on the first try, the judge's flexibility seems like a necessary safeguard against the letter of the law totally missing its spirit. I like to imagine it as a grease, a lubricant - you need to apply it, or else minor imperfections will grind your machine down.

A fundamental question here is - do you want the law to be a completely trustless system? Sticking to the letter of the law and enumerating all imaginable corner cases are examples of going into that direction.

I'm not totally convinced trustless systems are a good idea for society, because of inefficiencies they introduce as a cost of not having to trust anyone.

Interesting interpretation. I hadn't thought about it that way. Instead, I got a very different impression from the article -- more that this is the next big scare for the global economic system. Like the US subprime mortgage crisis in the previous decade, or the Russian/Asian debt crisis that sank Long Term Capital Management in the late 90's.

We've been reminded again and again by recent events how horribly wrong things can go when the is system is applied to people who are not like the judge/jury/officers/etc. There's got to be a better way than relying on inherently biased people, especially for commonly persecuted groups (minority races/orientations/occupations).

I think when someone says they want an axiomatic or algorithmic legal system, they're saying people are not like them, and they would rather be judged by an algorithm. Also that they would rather know in advance what behaviors will be judged positively or negatively.
I'm not a coffee drinker but I guess people go there for the convenience and consistency.
I think that's referring to refined sugars... as a diabetic, I tend to pay more attention to glycemic load... making an effort to keep it under 40 (max) at any meal, and under 100 per day, which is hard... iirc, the sugars/day should be around or under 100g for most people, with at least half of that coming from natural, unrefined sources (fruit/veg).

Absorption is a big piece... fruit smoothies are much easier to absorb, for example than whole fruit, which contains fiber which inhibits absorption.

For the most part, if you don't get more than half your calories from any macro source (carb, protein, fat, alcohol), and have some variety to your diet, once you get enough protein to support your body, calories are calories. Some people have medical conditions that mean they should limit some sources... but that's the exception.

The issue is that people don't pay attention to these things.. or consider the calories of drinks and snacks in their daily input... if most people wrote down everything they consumed for a week, calculated the macros, and tracked their weight a couple times a day, it would be eye opening. I tend to reach for water more often than not (2-3 liters or so a day) and about 1 liters of other beverages a day.
Same for Macau:

"Shortly after Portugal's 1974 Carnation Revolution, which overthrew the Estado Novo dictatorship, the new government determined it would relinquish all its overseas possessions. In 1976, Lisbon redefined Macau as a "Chinese territory under Portuguese administration" and granted it a large measure of administrative, financial, and economic autonomy. Three years later, Portugal and China agreed to regard Macau as "a Chinese territory under (temporary) Portuguese administration".[17][45] The Chinese and Portuguese governments commenced negotiations on the question of Macau in June 1986. The two signed a Sino-Portuguese Joint Declaration the next year, making Macau a special administrative region (SAR) of China.[46] The Chinese government assumed formal sovereignty over Macau on 20 December 1999.[47]"

Postgres has an extensible type system so Radix sort isn't really suitable, it really needs a comparison sort.

For SSE/MMX/AVX/etc or GPU sorts it would have to use integer or floating point surrogate keys. It would probably be the same abbreviated keys mentioned in the last few slides. That could be a radix sort but generally I think bitonic sort is preferred.
If you are really into coffee, mass produced is cool to hate on, and the best is what you make yourself. I enjoy the coffee, but it's not the best I ever had. Of course, in my area it's the only option over Dunkin Donuts or Mcdonalds, which I do not like.

Contact the company, show them your site, explain your situation, explain that you're looking for remote work. If they offer a compromise like being in the office one or two days a week, take it. If they won't go for it at all, thank them for their time and go to plan B.

> I wouldn't want special treatment even if they offered it

That's a bad thought that you should get rid of before it has a chance to harm you. Life is hard enough as it is; you don't want bad thoughts creeping into your head and handicapping you. (I'm not saying they'll offer special treatment, of course, only that you should certainly take it if they do.)

For Plan B, go ahead and charge for your site. If people are willing to pay, great! If not, chalk it up as an experiment worth trying and shut it down. I don't know what the price should be, but I do know you should not trust your instincts; us geeks always err on the low side. Either charge significantly more than you think you should, or ask some non-geeks and follow their advice.
Untrusted by whom? It's the same vendor whether it comes from their site or the package repository.

And maybe people include way too many dependencies in their projects if it's too much to manage manually. Also, installers are perfectly capable of managing dependencies.

>If it isn't why are people spending over $3/cup when McDonald's and others has $1/cup coffee?

I can't speak for every Starbucks customer out there, but I always assumed the reason is that it's a status symbol.

To some degree, they want to be seen with the cup. They haven't tried the competitors, so they assume Starbucks must be very good to justify the price. If they really enjoyed coffee for coffee's sake, they'd probably be going to an independent shop for their drink.

I think Starbucks' coffee isn't terrible, but I definitely prefer to brew it myself or spend the same amount at a smaller cafe, preferably if they roast their own beans.

If it can be proven that there is no reason behind the selective enforcement and if it can be shown that it is selectively enforced. The thing is, the people most likely to be a victim of these policies are the least likely to afford the discovery to prove this, to say nothing of the other side effects (such as being black listed from an industry).
This is how everyone should support projects that they find interesting. If someone doesn't have any skills except marketing they will steal your money, if they can make the product and push it into production, you will be able to buy it a few years after they have the idea.

This whole language bashing thing is really silly and tiresome. You know what the best language is? The one you use to actually launch a project. I don't care if you write in PHP, Ruby, Java, Python, C#, Javascript; it really doesn't matter. There are incredibly successful services written in each and every language that prove it's possible.

"Staying PHP is too expensive" Yeah? How big did Facebook get before starting to migrate off of it? Do you think you're going to be Facebook big? Probably not.

I don't mean to sound snarky, and I know language bashing has been around as long as computers have. It would be nice though if this community, out of all of them, could at least acknowledge the fact that every language has it's pros and cons, we will all have our favourites, and just because we like X doesn't mean Y is horrible.

I grew up writing PHP. I still do. I've written some applications that are handling millions of hits per day on a $20 Linode. You know what? For the longest time, despite having some some neat things in the past, I felt ashamed that all I knew was PHP. Because of comments like this. People bashing it constantly. It made me feel like a bit of a script kiddie, that I wasn't a "real" programmer unless I knew language _____. I had a huge, 2 year lull in my side projects where I tried to learn Ruby, Java, Python, before getting frustrated and dropping the project. I finally got over that and went back to PHP and suddenly I'm finishing, launching, and making a bit of money off my side projects again.

For anyone that happens to read this; don't worry what language you write in. Just make cool, functional shit, that's really all that counts.
Good point. Will correct the "byte" error. Thanks.
Sure we do, but you are welcome to continue to be skeptical.
Since the destructive idea started that one bad hire was a disaster for a company, it has been a lot more difficult than that. It is probably a major factor in the talent shortage, as companies are no longer willing to take any chances or train anyone, even for jobs that would take four hours of training!

I've watched companies in the last year I interviewed with wait and suffer? a year to fill a position, even though I could have done their silly rest-api job with one arm behind my back, haha.
They do the same for Iceweasel: stable gets updated to the ESR x release around when version x.0.1 gets out.
I've seen this kind of thing in action. One particular case that sticks out in my memory involved function calls that didn't actually exist but were caught by magic methods and created on the fly. That one took me and another dev a few days to track down. If you find it hard to believe, you're either lucky or are severely underestimating the power of stupid.
This guy did an AMA on /r/conspiracy. I unknowingly watched a doc he did on history of "oil-ligarchy" which was actually quite interesting, I then went on to look in about it... So, anyway, just look at the AMA, it's definitely conspiracy theory material, admittedly so.

People don't pay $3 for plain Starbucks coffee. They pay $3 for the atmosphere of the shop and the availability of a halfway decent public bathroom.
I'd add startups as well. At a previous company Slack was basically for sending GIFs all day long.
People are not "tuning out" obvious ads. If they're obvious then they are getting some attention, especially at the subliminal level you describe.
I drink a ton of coffee, rarely Starbucks or any other Corp coffee, and I think mcd coffee tastes miles better.
I'm starting to think that if you're a security-conscious person and understand what's at stake, then the best solution for you would be to simply memorize it. Your mind is the only place from which an attacker can't steal your password without drugging you or beating you up until you give it out.
Apply to startups. I don't know what else to tell you. I'm seeing TONS of people (for better or worse) get placed in jobs after completing coding bootcamps. Some of them have >90% placement rates.
