I don't suppose self-driving cars are ever supposed to get traffic/parking tickets?

A more relevant question would be, can the owner/renter of a self-driving car fight the company who sold/rented the vehicle that got a ticket for him/her?

Yes, exactly since it allows for fewer context switches and cache locality not only for the network packets but for disk I/O as well.
Fantastic response.

In regards to changing data records I've suffered the same problem as well. At best I've isolated what I can into separate modules so the impact is smaller after a small change, but obviously isn't universally applicable.

Note that there is also a #haskell-beginners IRC channel where it's sometimes easier to get a responses to certain questions than the much broader #haskell channel. Both channels are full of incredibly nice people for sure.

I too did not know about fieldLabelModifier and am excited about the GHC 8 changes as well!
This blog post is exactly what I'm getting at. The best content comes from people who are passionate about the material, not the potential monetary income. Curiously those same people tend to have no shortage of people willing to step forward with funding to keep them doing their thing.
Honestly, assuming that Apple had a magic way of getting to the information on the phone that is guaranteed to not be exploited (Tim Cook's fingerprint or something. Bad example for obvious reasons ;).... is there another issue here?

From where I stand, the argument against bulk data collection was "they need a warrant! and not from some kangaroo court!".

Here, the government has a warrant, for this specific phone. Apple is defending itself because (as sibling mentioned) it's likely that if Apple acted on this request in the ordered way that there's a very high chance of undermining all iPhone security.

But absent the (very important) technical context , do people really have a problem with the FBI wanting to look at the phone's data? If there was no encryption I doubt there would be much of a debate here. If you couldn't get a warrant for the phone used by a guy who just shot up a bunch of people, I don't know what you could get a warrant for.

> it's the absolute champion at connecting you to people who think alike. So for you, whoever you are, Tumblr will be a particular thing

While this might be true, I believe tumblr definitely has a shared culture.

I am saying this based on me setting up a dozen different tumblr accounts for testing stuff and seeing a lot of similar stuff over and over.

E.g. I am a straight male but the amount of gender identity/LGBTQIA content seems a lot more than elsewhere, presumably because of the "a lot of anonymous teenagers" user base.
Court? Parking tickets (penalty notices) in the UK have their appeals handled by the issuing organisation. Most commonly a city-, district- or county-council.

If you end up in court you've done something very wrong.
That reminds me of a Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode, on thanksgiving:

I stil think it would be better to guide programming using principles, not practices. To avoid fragile code, remember the open closed principle. To avoid wrong abstraction, think single responsibility and substitution principle. The author is right about interface segregation. :)
Developers deal with raw ipv4s, but end users? Unless you're setting up a wireless router, when does that actually happen?
They probably have, but the whole point is they want a way to decrypt the device, to use as a precedent in future cases.

1) Obviously they'd test it on other devices first. Also I would expect the government to waive Apple's liability should things "fuck up". But somehow, I think you underestimate Apple's competency.

2) I agree the automated PIN entry system makes things more difficult and if Apple pointed out that it would be far faster in terms of combined "hacking" + development time to just have people do the PIN entry the FBI would probably back down on that request.

3) Oh, you're absolutely right, it would take a great deal of additional effort to secure that code in the leaky sieve that's Apple's internal server infrastructure. I wouldn't want it to end up in the wild like the iOS, OSX and all the pro-app source code did (what, what?)
> Honest question; are you able to recall or extrapolate all of the rotations on the fly in a 45 minute time slice?

Yes, easily. The invariants are pretty simple. For extra fun, I'd try to enforce them via the type system. Though honestly, if you'd try to do red black trees in a language like Java or C++ you'd probably get a headache.

I guess my perspective is tainted there. I know some things about algorithms and datastructures, but some people I admire as `specialists' know so much more.
Whether it is true or not, I dunno, but I was told that the native Americans thought that immediate responses/reactions were disrespectful.

Regardless of the historical truth of my folk-tale, I find the idea interesting.

Nowadays, slow == bad (or forgotten/disregarded). The recent Springer "publications greater than 10 years old are free" comes to mind.
Agreed. I've done that in the past and done quite well, but when I got married I dumped all my non-retirement portfolio. 6% guaranteed return paying down student debt (plus getting rid of payments, which hadn't been something I'd dealt with before) beats playing games in the stock market for me. Plus, I like to make my bets while the market is already on the way down ... during the last recession I started buying on the way down (after prices had already dropped quite a way), and stopped when the market got back to where I'd started, which worked out quite well. I did most of this in my 401k and IRAs (to the limits allowed by the contribution rules), so I also scored tax benefits :). Biggest non-retirement bet was buying a house in early 2011, which also turned out to be a decent thing to have done in my market ... although I think that there is a significant possibility that the gains in value due to the market will be wiped out in the future.
Yeah，Xi's recent action is just like turn the clock back 30 years,not just more foreign media control,but also more domestic media control.Also,a teacher of East China Normal University(华东师大)just committed suicide yesterday night,despairing with those bad news broadcasting from our national CCTV for about 20 minutes.
Because the only way to be free is to be more restrictive!
Not all, but many end users frequently need to input IP addresses when any type of connection is being made on a private network that isn't using DNS.
Wouldn't they be better off purchasing the books and scanning in-house?
It sounds like the encryption key is generated when the device is running as a combination of the UID and passcode/password, so it's not quite as simple as being able to decrypt everything straight away if you are the manufacturer.

Even so, if they do have the UID that greatly reduces the security of the encryption - especially if you are using a short passcode.
>“We have 1,500 aboveground residents,” Mayor Helen Fisicaro said

Two Home Depots for 1,500 residents? People don't generally build the coffin at the burial.

Something tells me there is a lot more supporting that town than just their cemeteries.
Are you talking about D ?
My gut feeling is there is no way the recent stuff with Archive.org and old video games hasn't been a major cause of this "project" by Wizards. They have this huge library of stuff that could be considered abandoned, and with this they could make the argument that they haven't abandoned the works.
I don't even think there's any paradox. Software is much more ubiquitous than before, much more powerful, and takes much more resource to develop. Obviously, a lot of stuff that were previously held by wires and switches are going to use software, and since people are selling these stuff, a lot of this stuff will be proprietary.

An average user has zero reason to "avoid proprietary software while completing their necessary work on a computer." They are too busy trying to do their necessary work.

You define nature? I believe nature is defined by action which is intepreted after the fact or predicted before. Naturally we can also see a community such as hacker news has an effect on the wider population but likely not as strong of one that it, as a group, wants. But hacker news isnt one group but rather many voices that may or may not have similar objectives

That is nature

Edit: you do because you are apart of it. But your beliefs can influence but do not define nature
There are allegations that the FBI could easily decrypt the phone if they actually wanted to, found here:

Also, the Bay Area isn't your only option, if you're willing to move. DC area salaries are up a lot this year. I've had six recruiters in the last two weeks sell me on jobs in the 175-200k range. Plus, Northern Virginia is relatively cheap compared to the bay, and the startup scene has been building up for years while government, defense, and intel work has remained flat. I'm biased though because I want it to grow even more.

I totally agree with you. I understand the whole argument of "if we start unlocking / decrypting our own (Apple's) phones for the government that would be bad" and Apple / their defenders should stick with that, not peddle falsehoods because they feel that's not convincing enough.

Trotting out bullshit secondary arguments to try to come up with excuses beyond that are not only unnecessary but are potentially damaging to the root case of protecting personal data from government interception, especially when inevitably others will come out of the woodwork to contradict those statements. We don't need to come out on the wrong side of this and have the general public distrust tech companies any more than they already do.
There isn't anything separating Colma from the cities around it, and the area is fairly densely suburban.

The fact that we can get around vision problems using technology is precisely what allows such vision problems to become widespread.

Poor eyesight has gone from being massively deleterious and thus exerting a strongly negative selective pressure, to being (usually) trivially correctable and thus having no bearing on natural selection at all (excluding sexual selection).

Once you remove selection from the equation, genetic drift gets free reign; suboptimal alleles will spread through the population.

Note, however, that in the case of myopia we may well be dealing with a non-heritable environmental effect.
No, the only way to be free is to constantly fight for it, even at your inconvenience. Convenience (mostly ability to use the same code at work) is the reason why so many people today, who contribute to open source, prefer BSD.

That's why you won't like the answer (I certainly don't); it's an extra effort in politics that people would rather avoid.

In the government's filing, they claim Apple has exclusive technical means to gain access, and FBI is explicitly stated as being unable to. What are the implications of lying to the court in a legal filing?
I used to think, in such moments, that I was on the way to getting paranoid. These days, I more often think that maybe I should be a lot more paranoid.

It has become really hard to figure out what to believe and what not. The whole affair could simply be a PR stunt. Maybe the FBI wants to create a precedent so they can get an easy access to everybody's phones where they consider it convenient. But maybe, they actually do not want that phone at all and want to create precedent where people think, "Oh look, now I know for sure the Feds cannot get at my iPhone". At times, it all seems like plots within schemes within hidden agendas.
Yup, that's the FBI's pitch. The issue is that it sets a legal precedent as well as potentially leaking a backdoored iOS to the world. Yes I know "signed for a specific device", best of luck with that.

Perfect description of how we "just" need to see a return of "good-old police work" combined with modern high-level training.

This stuff is hard and should be hard - apropos jobs and automation: it's also a great opportunity for politicians to align income levels with the private sector to attract only the best of the best (humans vs. "high-tech" toys).
The idea here is that the secure enclave is a small microprocessor with hardware RNG, encrypted memory, and encrypted storage. The secure enclave generates its own key and it never leaves the chip.

iCloud encrypts backups at rest but it's not encrypted with a key that only the user has, it's encrypted with Apple's key.
If the language you want to work in is so important, you should have picked the company first and the location second.

Besides, data outlives code. By orders of magnitude. You seem to be in love with Haskell today, chances are you'll be using a different language in ten years but the data you'll be working with will probably have been around for much longer than that.

Don't fall in love with programming languages, it's a waste of emotional energy.

One thing I'm missing in the whole gitlab/github hosted discussion is how big is the chance that gitlab will fail where github will succeed because github actually has a lot more income because they charge for the private repos?

In the longer term this may be a deciding factor, but if enough people that right now pay for github move to gitlab the balance will shift to the point where gitlab won't be able to deal with the amount of free users and gitlab will fail because they no longer have enough paying users...

It's hard to compete with free, but it is also hard to sustain free.
Yes, you can. But it is hard to deny that if there is a specific server/host you are trying to access, its address is likely to be a lot harder to memorize than that.

(And like I said, that should not be considered a reason to avoid adopting IPv6. The only thing I currently dislike about IPv6 is that my ISP does not give me a static network address.)

You may recall the PIN counter code was buggy the first time they wrote it. It took a patch release to ensure the counter would be incremented even if power was cut immediately after the invalid result was returned. This is part of what leads me to believe the security system which ensures the counter is incremented is non-trivial and therefore its removal may also be non-trivial due to cross-dependencies.

You really think Tim and Dan are just going to let an engineer whip up a build with these features and sign it willy nilly with their production code-signing key, deploy it to the subject phone, and just start punching out PINs? If Apple hasn't already spent several man-years of engineering time on just investigation and tech support for this particular case I would be shocked.

You claimed creating this build should be easier than a public release. From my perspective it's an order-of-magnitude harder, because it's a new process which must be developed and scrutinized from top to bottom and not a well-oiled machine. I've worked inside Apple, and this is not a negative reflection on the competency of their developers in any way. For Pete's sake, this backdoor isn't getting developed as a late-night hackathon!

Of course we're just throwing speculative arguments past each other so it's not so productive. I think I know what I'm talking about, and so do you, but it doesn't really matter much either way :-/
