That key is a key which unlocks every single iPhone. There would be an extremely strong case that revealing that key would be a threat to national security. I think you'd find the case would be harder than you think.

If vote brigading is the main way for products to make front page (per the original article), then this type of behavior follows logically. Chances are 90% of those commenters did not actually try the product itself.
I know that some network configurations will still have to use actual IPv6 addresses but for the most part you could save yourself a lot of pain by just using DNS and hostnames.
I know that this particular case makes access to subpoenaed resources a relatively more nuanced and impactful situation.

The ideal situation for the government is:
'We need that communication. It is locked to us. We unlock it, given that we have a warrant.' The matter ends. (Ignoring bulk collection, for the moment).

The ideal situation for the private consumer is:
No one has access to my communications, because I believe in my own privacy strongly.

So, in the ideal world, the government requires a method that, if they need to, can decipher communications that occur with a US citizen involved, provided there is a warrant.
This is difficult because of the nature of cryptography. What solution shall we find that marries the needs of the government and the private citizen? I don't know. We'll find out.

Mind reading is not applicable. That's a problem for a future world. What the government cares about now in terms of subpoenas, and has always cared about, is communication between criminal individuals that they have probable cause and a warrant to search.

Again, arguing who it will or will not work for isn't really the concern of the government. They care about the achievability of their enumerated powers, whether they be against terrorists or petty criminals. They are working for a solution, and they will approach some simulacrum of that solution.
The article has an edit at the end suggesting double-dot to avoid the confusion.

> IPv6 is not meant to be usually exposed to endusers.

"You're holding it wrong". This is a crap argument against the article. Network admins have to manipulate this stuff all the time, and the article is written from the point of view of a netadmin, not an enduser. It's trying to describe both a problem (lack of client uptake despite support; struggles with human comprehension) and a potential solution. The idea that humans would never have to look at an ip6 address has proven to be a fantasy.

Well the DOJ doesn't get to unilaterally decide what is the greater good, let alone how to get there. There's multiple civil processes to go through to hopefully interweave the legal, political, judicial, ethical, and technical issues. It should be a battle. A vigorous debate exposes the weak arguments and we ought to end up with the best ones, assuming the predominate state of society is stable. My complaint about DOJ is trying to inject emotional catchphrases, and classic propaganda techniques, to distort a rational process. It makes their position look weak out of the gate.

On a German keyboard, parentheses require a shift, but to get square brackets, one needs to hit AltGr (or "Option" on a Mac keyboard) which quickly gets annoying if one has to do it a lot.

Except for that, I agree with you.
I have to be fair about Linode's performance. My Argon2 test suite averaged around 45 seconds on my Linode.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. Of course, we have built special package for the Atom https://atom.io/packages/platformio-ide.

User has a choice:

* Download our bundle with PlatformIO IDE + Atom
* Download Atom and install our package which will install all required dependencies and PlatformIO CLI.

See all options http://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/ide/atom.html#installat...

> Can't you just develop plugins for the most famous of them ? which means less maintenance (build the CLI tools once, and just maintain the plugins).

We are small unprofitable organisation from the 3 fans: http://platformio.org/#!/contact

PlatformIO is free for all including commercial using. We are trying to support multiple IDEs. See our docs http://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/ide.html

We don't have enough resources to create separate plugins/packages for the all IDEs. Maybe, in future will do it.

Nevertheless, we are focusing on PlatformIO CLI which can be used as middleware for any IDEs, Continuous Integration Systems, Cloud Solutions.

P.S: Please read our post "Further fate of PlatformIO Project..." https://github.com/platformio/platformio/issues/490

One of the things I am most looking forward to is the abstraction into libp2p[1]. I am wanting to try out my own ideas but I don't want to hassle w/ building my own Kademlia DHT or NAT traversal.

> It is not really rewritten.

It has several direct calls into Linux functionality that don't go via SPL, but it's also unclear that simply adding an abstraction layer is a meaningful mechanism to avoid derivation.

> what did change was meant to use for interfaces that are provided by the kernel to allow proprietary modules to be ported

There are no such interfaces in Linux.

> the claim that writing a brand new TV show script inspired by another forms a derivative work is to claim that writing things from scratch forms a derivative work.

I didn't make that claim. The analogy in question involves taking an existing work and modifying it such that it includes components of another work.

> It is the distinction lawyers are making.

It's the distinction a lawyer that you've spoken to is making.

> Do you have bar numbers of these lawyers?

Yes.

> Is there any reason to think that they were thinking that zfs.ko somehow used GPL exported symbols or some other thing that is not actually true that does not involve taking your word for it?

No.

> Your claims are inconsistent with that.

My claim is that I have reason to believe that, under copyright law, ZoL is a derivative work of Linux and as such is subject to the terms of the GPL. If the final legal determination is that it's not a derivative work then the GPL is irrelevant.
I'm coming around to believing it's possible.

Now I'm wondering whether you can place malicious RAM in the phone that changes instructions on the fly. Is that feasible?
> and we want applications that don't die when servers get shut down.

Easy. Do not make sites and claim they are apps, when clearly they are acting as graphical terminals to a remote service.

An app should be something that runs locally, stores the result locally, and optionally stores things remotely as a backup measure.

The whole "lets do all the heavy lifting out there" approach is a throwback to the leased terminal era. And as best i recall, the personal computer became popular because accountants would rather run their spreadsheet (even if slower and with severe data limits) locally than have to grovel to the admins for mainframe time.

From what I understand, it's slightly different from escaping conceptual thought entirely. The idea is to not direct your thoughts, but rather observe them without judgement as they arise and fade away. So the idea is balanced observation, and this is easier to do by relaxing your mind and body.
The attack is a brute force attack. My understanding is that if a secure enclave is present, then the PIN timeout feature which prevents brute force is implemented in the secure enclave. If the secure enclave did not permit updates, then this logic would be relatively unassailable.

But since the 5C has no secure enclave, the PIN lockout logic can simply be overwritten by updating the OS.

What's your point? China can already ask for the same thing, and it makes sense for the government to investigate ways to circumvent security, just like they might do with a combination safe. Crucially, the government isn't asking for the companies to build products with broken security — they are asking to circumvent already broken security.

From a legal perspective, this is no different from asking Apple to circumvent the passcode protection to extract unencrypted data off a device, which Apple has already done many times.

I tend to agree with you on Theranos. I wasn't trying to say that Theranos is doomed from the beginning because they are about to disrupt a well protected industry. Instead, I feel the problem is that we as general public are not educated well enough to make a reasonable judge on whether Theranos is actually working.
The more time a person spends analyzing their debts and trying to find the optimal repayment or refinancing strategy also brings the unpleasant debt to the foreground. I think people prefer to pretend that it's not even there. It hurts them financially in the long run, but avoids confronting a painful reality.

When I got out of college, I had some debts to repay (car loan, credit cards, student loans). Someone who I thought was a friend ended up bringing her manager with her to hard sell me on starting a retirement account with them.

Partially because I was stubborn and annoyed at being tricked into the sales call, I simply stonewalled for 3 painful hours. I tried to be nice (I suppose I am too nice), so I didn't kick them out. I simply kept insisting that I was better off putting $0 into investments until my higher interest debts were paid off. They pulled out a bunch of lines about "starting a pattern of saving" and so on, that are definitely correct on some level, but I stood by the math.

Eventually they got the memo, and left. Once my debts were paid off, I started putting money towards my 401k and short term savings. Every time I've gotten a raise or a big bump from switching jobs over the past 10 years, virtually every additional dime has gone into savings.

Have good principles. Then stick by your principles.

I work on H1-B visa at a university and I have been wanting to move to a profit company but it seems my current H1-B visa cannot be transferred easily to a capped H1-B visa (that goes through quota). Even when few companies were interested in my profile, I found them reluctant to wait till Oct 1st as that is the only date on which I am allowed to start my employment with a new employer. My only options are to find a job in a university / non-profit research lab or go back home. Do you have any suggestions ? or know any good non-profit employer that needs a software engineer to be working at the intersection of web applications and applied ML ?
You seem to be confusing the difficulty of "learning" something which is trivially easy with the difficulty of using something that is designed in an obfuscated way that makes it hard to use.

Ignore this person. They don't know what they are talking about.

The estimate cost of the Afghan + Iraq War is estimated to be $4-6 trillion when you account for long-term medical care and disability compensation for service members, veterans and families, military replenishment and social and economic costs.

I've mostly avoided IPv6 because AWS uses IPv4 and it works fine.

Atticus is one dimensional because he is described through the eyes of his adoring daughter. That's why I like the sequel, because it shows the daughter growing to understand that her father isn't perfect after all.
It's a little absurd to compare a story with essentially 1 thesis and 1 antithesis, to a story full of theses and antitheses where the reader is constantly asking "Which thesis will prevail above which?" and ultimately, "Which thesis will prevail above all?" The authors are doing completely different things. The latter of which is objectively more difficult than the former, the latter of which is much more representative of the world in which we all live.

I've been using this for a couple of weeks now on an AVR based project of mine. The added tooling for abstracting away the build specifics is really nice and it is integrated fairly well into atom. Not all the features are fully fleshed out, the documentation is lacking a bit, and there are bugs but it is a pretty impressive project.

Propagandistic twaddle.
Umberto Eco on operating systems and religion, in 1994:

The fact is that the world is divided between users of the Macintosh computer and users of MS-DOS compatible computers. I am firmly of the opinion that the Macintosh is Catholic and that DOS is Protestant. Indeed, the Macintosh is counterreformist and has been influenced by the "ratio studiorum" of the Jesuits. It is cheerful, friendly, conciliatory, it tells the faithful how they must proceed step by step to reach - if not the Kingdom of Heaven - the moment in which their document is printed. It is catechistic: the essence of revelation is dealt with via simple formulae and sumptuous icons. Everyone has a right to salvation.

DOS is Protestant, or even Calvinistic. It allows free interpretation of scripture, demands difficult personal decisions, imposes a subtle hermeneutics upon the user, and takes for granted the idea that not all can reach salvation. To make the system work you need to interpret the program yourself: a long way from the baroque community of revelers, the user is closed within the loneliness of his own inner torment.

You may object that, with the passage to Windows, the DOS universe has come to resemble more closely the counterreformist tolerance of the Macintosh. It's true: Windows represents an Anglican-style schism, big ceremonies in the cathedral, but there is always the possibility of a return to DOS to change things in accordance with bizarre decisions.....

And machine code, which lies beneath both systems (or environments, if you prefer)? Ah, that is to do with the Old Testament, and is Talmudic and cabalistic.
