Never write these kinds of letters unless you're sure the first response isn't going to be "You're only tech support. Good luck finding a new job."

In fact, it's never a good idea to write these kinds of things in the first place.

Heck, I work for a great company that provides free snacks (credit for the vending machines) and unlimited free sodas/sparking waters/coconut water/etc, and I'm not going to complain about any of it, even if I dislike some of the flavors or my favorite is out of stock for a day or two...

The need for a doctor is less about getting your blood work down and more about going over the results and analyzing them based on your medical history and general profile.

You can pay to get blood work done even without a doctor in most cases but there is actually very little use for it if all you going to get is some standardized report without any good way of actually analyzing and no i don't thin theranos had a good system in place to bring that to the masses and this isn't something that needs to be brought to the masses in the first place.

Instead of finding a way to allow you to get your blood tested in the same manner as you would develop film 15 years ago why not work on making doctors more accessible?

If the enclave chips don't have a unique identifier on them after being installed in an Apple device does not mean that they didn't have a temporary identifier...

Also, are you saying that even the machines manufacturing them do not know what they are doing ("... secure enclave manufacturing process is done is such a way that even the manufacturer does not know what the key is.")? Sounds a lot like a PR campaign... I would be curious to know how this manufacturing process really works.
In the linked article regarding TOMS shoes: "While statistical significance is nowhere to be seen, by dint of their consistency the results are reasonably convincing." That's not how statistical significance works; if you don't reach it, you can't say anything about whether or not there is an effect.

The actual research paper is here: http://repository.usfca.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1005.... In it, the authors say "After controlling for household and parental characteristics as well as ADP-level fixed effects, we can uncover no statistically significant negative impact on shoe purchases in local markets."
Same here.

Seriously? When the entire country has been forced to endure decades of stagnant wages, crippling debt, and the two major presidential candidates are a socialist and a fascist, you are surprised that people want the most babied, prima donna group of workers to ever walk the earth to get their comeuppance? An entire group of engineers who complain about 6 figure salaries and how hard it is to live on them?

I'm one of the group, I'm exactly the person I just described, I'm just not shocked in the slightest.

God knows what the standard will be when we start using IPv6, but I guess a datacentre would allocate each server a prefix of a few thousand ips. The server is then free to use any of them without any risk of collision. The point of this vast address space is precisely to enable the infrastructure to be a lot more stateless (as in not worrying about individual IPs).

I don't understand why magic leap has so much investment with nothing to show. Just in general I don't see how it could be worth that much. It's cool in a nerd way but doesn't seem to have real value. Like how is this going to make a meaningful impact on the world?
So that answers that; the posted headline reads like they somehow acquired it clandestinely (which may or may not be the case, except now there is an interview with the seller).
Kudos to Ted Lieu. It is frustrating that a piece of legislation passed in 1789, is being substantively applied in a manner that erodes privacy, compromises business and does little to provide further security in ever changing threat landscape.
teddyh got it right, and wowser, did you infer a lot from my pithy little comment. I mean, read what you quoted: "give up all rights to what they've created", including throwing it up on the pirate bay. Either free for all, or free for none, because i do charity work for actual charities, not multi-billion dollar for-profit corporations.
I tried it on this bit of code, but it didn't detect a type mismatch. Is it supposed to?

It does detect this mismatch:

For stuff I write, as soon as _I_ am using it in production, it's 1.0. That's pretty straightforward and objective. Sometimes I give it a couple weeks in production myself as a beta/rc before I tag it 1.0, to take the pain of early bugs myself instead of foisting it on others. No more than that.

It's not always that simple, and it may not be totally objective down to the timestamp, but we can think of _many_ cases where people kept an 0.x version number _long_ after it was obvious they shoudln't be -- the authors were using it in production, they knew hundreds or thousands of developers were using it in production, they knew they _were_ thinking of backwards compatibility.

React was my prime example before now.

The problem isn't different judgements on grey areas, the problem is people completely ignoring the intent of the 0.x versioning -- so they can maybe sort of pretend they are doing semver, while not doing it at all.

The first time you realize you can't make an enormous backwards compatible change without telling anyone, or you're a jerk -- is another good milestone.

Who cares if sometimes it could have been somewhat earlier or later. I'm pretty sure if everyone actually tried, it'd work out orders of magnitude better.

If 0.x versions just "weren't allowed", it doesn't _reduce_ the temptation people have _not_ to do semver. 0.x is just a big advertisement "We're NOT using semver... yet, but plan to later. And also this software is super unstable and you really ought not to use it in production" And should be understood thusly.

The problem is when people keep using 0.x, but are clearly _not_ sending that signal. Those people should be shamed.
They still are using teslamotors.com; tesla.com forwards there.
You just described David Chaum's crypto plan. Also widely derided as having a backdoor. So it's really just moving the goal posts.
But it exists already! The fact that Apple can write a backdoor means there already is a back door. Apple is just refusing to open it, which I'm not sure they have a legal standing to do.

The fact that they would have to write some software or whatever is irrelevant. It's no different than if they already had a button they could press to make the phone hackable.
There is no bubble. Investor speculation taking a down turn? Sure. But that's been happening for CENTURIES.
Was just chatting with a friend about how much banks suck. Said discussion led to the inevitable discussion of "well, how about starting our own bank?" Just for grins and giggles I decided to research the issue a bit, which led to this.

My friend thinks that "uber geeks" will no longer need banks in five years. I think it might take longer just because banks are so highly regulated. But with things like blockchain tech (BitCoin, Ethereum, etc.), Hyperledger, Fineract, and the like... given that banking is mostly all digital now for so many people, you have to wonder how much value traditional banks really add.

Personally finance (as an industry) doesn't much interest me and I don't really have much interest in opening a bank, but I'm curious what my fellow HN'ers think about this subject.
There is always talk of preventing the next terrorist attack, but there is almost no talk about what is considered acceptable risks.

The attacker inflicted horrific mayhem and death for sure, but let not forget people die of other more common untimely causes all the time.

We put more anger against human agents rather than the impersonal forces of nature.

And it also gave people excuses to revel in their bigotry and suspicion.

What do I know? I wasn't angry that people die in a terrorist attack in France. Nor am I angered or saddened by the attacks in California.

Even now, I respond to the fact that the FBI are the bad guys because of an abstract threat to our privacy.

Terrorists don't matter to me.

They can kill a thousand men and women in a single day, and I wouldn't bat an eye.

What they did was certainly horrible, but they are of no more consequences than a thousand tragic motor accident until congress pass laws and law enforcement demands more power or that we should torture people.

Funny how that works.

That's not to say that I don't have emotion. On the contrary, the most common emotion for me seems to be cringing for other people when they made fools of themselves.

But it is true that terrorist attacks make for interesting news story, in the Chinese sense of the word.
> Actors can pick what case they want to appeal or prosecute. They pick the case with the best facts and the right time and try to maximize their chance a decision will be written into law.

Looking at it from that perspective, would it have been better if Apple had picked another case to make its stand?
I doubt you can get the FBI to compel Apple to unlock the phone of a cheating lover or because the death of a loved one.
Given his track record trying to get Oracle to stop using a GPL exported symbol in their CDDL DTrace module, it is unlikely he is going to do anything here. Orqcle has committed an actual potential violation as far as lawyers with whom I have talked are concerned. Canonical has not.

Yeah, so again: I don't buy this kind of bullshit relativism. There's strong empirical evidence that certain things (so called subjective things: art, food, literature) are better than other things in the same arena.

As I suggested in my other comment, as I primer, I strongly suggest reading Hume's 'Of the Standard of Taste' and bringing forward some talking points instead of pretending like you're making some kind of profound argument. In other words, what you're saying isn't new. It's also very simplistic, naïve, and (I believe) probably wrong.
A user editing the wiki posted incorrect information that he inferred from the use of DKMS. It happens.
So keep data In the cloud say at a Google DC?
Indeed, you're supposed to encrypt the backups with a password. If you don't, some data like wifi passwords won't be backed up, as far as I recall. If they did have backups that were encrypted, FBI could brute force that password too (if it's not just sitting in the keychain).
This argument makes no sense. There's no legal right to be free from court-approved government surveillance. The government has always had the authority to compel the cooperation of third-parties in search and seizure cases. This is an awesome power, which is why you need to convince a judge to issue a court order to use it. The only way that we ever thought encryption could thwart surveillance is by raising technological barriers. This was Apple's whole argument in the first place! "We can't help the government hack into your iPhone because it's impossible for us to do it ourselves". Turns out that they were wrong; the government did find a way to hack into it given Apple's secrets (their code-signing key).

Now Apple is bending over backwards to try to make it sound like their original argument still applies, when in fact they're making a totally different argument from what I'm going to call "encryptyness", like Colbert's "truthiness". It goes like this: "we tried really hard to protect this technology from our own capabilities, and we convinced our customers that we did, even though it's now clear that we didn't; it would hurt us to be seen helping the government in contradiction of our previous claims, so the government should pretend that we can't help them. They shouldn't be able to get court orders for anything that's encrypty enough." Or even more legally laughable, that the government shouldn't have search and seizure authority period.

The other arguments in support of Apple also have no legal merit. My favorite is the slippery slope argument, that if the government gets a taste of this power that they'll come back for more and use it on everyone's phone. Judges are fully capable of distinguishing between different circumstances. This case is decided on the merits of this case. Tomorrow's case is decided on the merits of tomorrow's case. This is a fundamental principle of common law.

The government's not asking Apple to create a backdoor for them. The door already exists and Apple created it for itself, when they didn't include Apple as a potential adversary in their threat model (which is contrary to their public claims). They could very well design their phones to not have this vulnerability, but it would require a more sophisticated approach. Apple wants the benefits of owning 'your' phone, and the benefits of not having any power over it. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
Yes. Quickest and less distraction by ads, comments, images ... so I could scan 70+ sources per day.
I dunno. These sort of things have been quite destructive. I am not calling the tech sector a tulip market, but the Dutch tulip mania stands as quite an incredible event. It effectively ended Holland as an imperial power.

It also inspired "Picture This" by Joseph Heller, which is worth reading.
How is it that the hangover just "began"? Public markets have been trashing prominent tech IPOs for several years now. Groupon? Zynga? Ring a bell?

A lot of focus here will be on him getting the technical details right, and I agree that he does, but I'd like to focus on his last paragraph because I think he gets the response to terrorism right too.

The San Bernardino massacre was tragic but weakening our
cyber security is not the answer – terrorism succeeds when
it gets us to give up our liberties and change our way of
life.

The terrorists don't win by killing people. The terrorists win by causing a disproportionate response. Our best response to these attacks is to be brave in the face of fear rather than to expect our government to make us safe.
>>> Can the government force Google to provide the names of all people who searched for the term ISIL?

Note the use of the term ISIL, not ISIS. America is all about language. Selection of terms, even pronunciation, has political meaning. Obama speaks of ISIL. Trump, ISIS. Brits, wanting to be politically correct, speak of "the so-called Islamic State", while those wanting to sound connected use the on-the-ground term "daesh". I'm tempted to create a venn diagram of these different political groups. At the centre of this diagram I should find the mythical voice of reason, a bridge transcending the idiots and capable of speaking to all sides.
The in kernel, free radeon drivers are good and supported by amd. They should work on little-endian systems, which all of the newer POWER systems are[0].

Unforunately big-endian amd/radeon support seems to have bit rotted. So if that g4 laptop has an amd device accelerated video might not work. I'm not sure how well nouveau works for nvidia devices.

There have been some discussions about this problem on the debian-powerpc mailing list so check out the archives if you're interested. Some of us also hang out on OFTC/#debianppc.

Sound support should be the same as intel and printers are handled by userland so that shouldn't be a problem with most printers that work with linux.

I didn't mean the courts (although that's an interesting discussion). The political play I mean is that the FBI is trying to get Congress to change the laws surrounding this topic.

Nope. This stopped working for me about a month ago.
Do you really think it would be that hard to modify the iOS software to make a phone hackable (by brute force, like the FBI plans) without the source? It's definitely doable. If China had Apple's keys, they could trivially do it.

Ask HN: Where are 150k to 200k jobs in Silicon Valley everyone talks about?
I work for most talked company and one also in trouble now-a-days. I always hear and have read quite a few times that there are thousands of people who earn 150k to 200k salary.

I have 9 years of experience but my salary is 118k per year with 2k as stock options per year. I work in data analytics as tech lead without any direct reports. With $2300 rent in Peninsula it is really really hard to live in Bay area for 2 people.

Is 150k to 200k only paid at google / Facebook / Amazon / Uber?

Where do you find companies hiring managers or directors or tech leads offering such salary ?

I have no network. I tried networking and going to meetup but nothing happened. Even if I go networking way it is going to take longer to find job through that route. I am looking for immediate opportunity.

Any guidance and / or tips you can provide to advance to next level ?

Not saying what I'm doing is right, but giving my NAS a static IP works on any device connected to the network. My router doesn't support manual DNS entries and I don't want to go through the trouble of flashing OpenWRT just to do something.

You can name off tools that make it easier all you want, but how is the average user supposed to know that? When I set up my NAS, I wanted it to be accessible from the same address no matter what. I knew (at the time) about static IPs and manual DNS entries. So I went to my router's configuration and it didn't support manual DNS entries. So I opted for a static IP, and it worked. Sure, it's a kludge and not future proof, but I don't care. That's the problem. The "solutions" only work if you both know about them and care enough to do it the right (instead of the easy) way
