"They've asked"...that's an even worse characterization of the article than the headline failing to qualify that only non-UL Certified devices are "verboten" (by being deemed automatically defective and seized).

Murdering Cheryl: How to generate and solve logical deduction problems
I'm too lazy to look up numbers for the Kintex-7 part in question, but I'm almost certain you're wrong on this. A block RAM is a big chunk of die, and there are comparatively few of them to go around. A LUT is a tiny object (comparable in computation power to 10-50 dedicated transistors) and there are hundreds of thousands of them on the FPGA.

I'm willing to bet lots that 4/n_block_ram > 308/n_lut.
Because you want to buy a house? If you are borrowing 8k for a simple car @2%, 5 years, you are repaying ~140/month. On a 20 year loan @2%, that same monthly payment would net you 30k.

My native country has a central database of every single loan outstanding. Lenders have to consult that before granting a loan and stay within certain limits. So at least here, an outstanding car loan might disqualify you from a home loan because of a lack of solvability...
Exactly. This entire tragedy was exactly what they needed to make sure that Americans had the proper amount of fear to begin giving up more rights.
They made sure that the request was public so they could use this event as an anchor against Apple when they refuse to create backdoors.

"Apple wouldn't even use their technology to get the information off of the phone that the terrorists used" will make a powerful headline when the FBI and NSA are asking for the rest of the backdoors they want.

Short sighted? Clicking on this article I thought it was going to be some half in jest article about not adopting long term sustainable policies. I've worn glasses for myopia since I was 9, have been at a number of ophthalmologist conferences, and have otherwise been somewhat more exposed to the field of optical medicine than average. I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've seen the term short sighted used instead of near sighted for myopia.

The original article seems not to use either term but sticks with myopia as would be expected. I'm guessing this is a reporter mistranslation of the medical term?

The original paper is "Global Prevalence of Myopia and High Myopia and Temporal Trends from 2000 through 2050" and can be found at http://www.aaojournal.org/article/S0161-6420%2816%2900025-7/...

Hey There,

I'm a PagerDuty employee and am the same individual who made this post on the last HN thread:

* https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10845985

Unfortunately, there are some facts in Linode's post that are not correct.

>On July 9 a customer notified us of unauthorized access into their Linode account. The customer learned that an intruder had obtained access to their account after receiving an email notification confirming a root password reset for one of their Linodes. Our initial investigation showed the unauthorized login was successful on the first attempt and resembled normal activity.

This is almost correct. Someone got in to our account on the first try. They knew the password and a valid TOTP token. Although, Linode's email isn't what notified is, it was our intrusion detection system.

>On July 12, in anticipation of law enforcement’s involvement, the customer followed up with a preservation request for a Linode corresponding to an IP address believed to be involved in the unauthorized access. We honored the request and asked the customer to provide us with any additional evidence (e.g., log files) that would support the Linode being the source of malicious activity. Neither the customer nor law enforcement followed up and, because we do not examine customer data without probable cause, we did not analyze the preserved image.

This is partially correct. We informed Linode that we saw suspicious activity within their network, and reached out to them to inform them. We provided any and all logs we had. We also informed them that we passed the info on to law enforcement, in case they wanted to proactively preserve the data. The knew we had no further information, and as such didn't ask for anything additional.

>On the same day, the customer reported that the user whose account was accessed had lost a mobile device several weeks earlier containing the 2FA credentials required to access the account, and explained that the owner attempted to remotely wipe the device some time later. In addition, this user employed a weak password. In light of this information, and with no evidence to support that the credentials were obtained from Linode, we did not investigate further.

The story behind the mobile device is totally incorrect. The user did not lose their device, the device had been restored (intentionally wiped) 9 months prior to the compromise. The user got a new device, and never set up MFA on their new phone after wiping the old one. The device was, and still is, in the user's possession. The device has not been powered on in a long while.

The user who was compromised was no longer in possession of their MFA secret. They deleted it, intentionally, with no backups existing.

If anyone here is going to be at Velocity 2016 in Santa Clara, or at Monitorama PDX 2016, I'll be giving talks on how PagerDuty was compromised back in July. This includes full details of how this happened, including the details of the mobile device referenced above. There are some details in my talk that don't line up with the blog post provided by Linode. :)
Are you sure that the usability wasn't fundamentally insecure? Because in that case, whether or not it was usable is meaningless as a benchmark for a system that works.

It also reduces risk in the form of default, higher fees from late payments, increased interest rates from missed payments, and provides a buffer for unexpected expenses down the road.

Finance is very situational and when people talk about things in absolutes like the articles does, it can mislead people who have different circumstances, goals, proclivities, and risk profiles.
Hello. Can you send me your info? shantibraford @ gmail

I'm looking for a designer who can collaborate on jobs with me.
I left a Glassdoor review about Linode that was removed because I mentioned an employee (anonymously) who rubbed his genitals on coworkers' keyboards as a joke. This was reported to and covered up by management because the employee was essential. Anyway, Glassdoor responded to ostensibly a Linode complaint by removing my review several weeks after I left it. So they do watch it.

There's a lot more to the story, for sure. It's the worst of the bro culture, or at least it was when I left. At my next employer they looked over Linode employees as recruiting opportunities after hiring me, and came to ask me about potential candidates, and the only one they were interested in was genital rubber. I laughed and said I'd quit.
Most vendors have free (as in beer) licenses available for their smaller parts.

Sure. I'll scan 'em in and then send the magnet link to which they can point their torrent client. No? You want me to be a digital sharecropper where I do the work, send the results only to you, and you reap the profits? Mmm, gonna have to pass on that one.
Can you list some of these parts that, by your definition, cannot be examined or verified? If you're talking about physical security features to make decapping difficult, surely a high-res xray would be good enough to verify that the hardware is as specified without being able to read the contents of nonvolatile memory, and without compromising physical security.
Doesn't Google usually try to punish websites that show users something different and even mentions that somewhere?

Not an SEO Expert here, but wonder how and whether Google will end up handling that. I mean making an exception could also be considered abuse of power in some countries of the world. Don't have any strong opinion yet on that, just saying that because of how the EU exercised certain laws in recent years.

I think tumblr excels because, lacking a front page like reddit, the user's that hate each other never interact. And I'm increasingly sure that this is the only method for obtaining non-dysfunctional societies online- non-overlapping tribes of users. Why should the subscribers of /r/stormfront try to coexist with /r/BlackLivesMatter? It's like trying to house wolves and sheep in the same pen. Give each their own echo chamber.
Devil's advocate: Consumer preferences or the fact that it was a work phone don't matter, as long as a warrant has been attained.

This case is a constitutional matter from the beginning-- the Federal government does possess the ability to search a citizen's belongings and communications, given that it has a proper warrant. The Fourth Amendment checks this power.

So, if a Federal judge has issued a warrant, and it is possible, even if difficult, to serve that warrant, the government does have the authority to make that material available to the court.

What I'm getting at is that encryption can make subpoenas and serving warrants impossible for the courts, and that's something that I understand the government being concerned about.

Could this be a power play to establish a precedent, and say the party withholding is aiding terrorism? Probably. Despite that, I understand the government's case.

"It's the same reason why you can't trust Yelp reviews - they needed to generate revenue somehow, and the only real option was to offer to hide negative reviews in return for money."

I feel like I don't understand social networks, Tumblr included, at all. Having had Tumblr account since way back doesn't help.
That argument doesn't matter thought. He didn't say "a request can only be considered malformed by mcherm's definition of the term if...".

I could say "the sky is blue" and you could say "demonstrably false; the sky is personally red because I'm wearing colour-altering sunglasses".

What he meant is obviously "a request can only be considered malformed (as defined by the commonly accepted definition of malformed) .."

Your argument is fallacious. The courts will use common definitions of terms and have regard for context.

However, what you're arguing about is even more pointless. The CFAA doesn't depend on the term "malformed" in any way, but on the term "authorized access".

Your first sentence is not similar at all to your second; they're demonstrating first a blatant disregard for common definitions of terms, followed by praise of such common definitions.
This patch is a prime example of why I understand OpenBSD devs' frustration with newcomers. It takes several hours of lurking to get the general idea of what OpenBSD culture[1] is. And yet about once or twice a week there's someone new coming with some demand, backward idea or GPL evangelism, who gets aggressive when challenged. I'd flip the table every single time if I were one of the contributors.

python 2 has a lot more implicitness when it comes to types (everything is comparable with everything else, unicodestrings/bytestrings autoconvert, etc.

> People that use python 2 generally maintain existing code base.

maintain being a key word there, finding bugs before they become a problem is always a good thing.

- - -

Also python 2 is maintained beyond security patches, but only by third parties: the core developers won't be adding new features, but third parties are welcome to spend time and effort to backport python 3 features to python 2 (as long as it isn't an incompatible change for py2)

At least that is what my understanding of the situation is
> Running puts tremendous stress on knees and feet.

Of course it does. That doesn't mean it "wears down" the body in a meaningful sense. The body heals. Bones get stronger with use. So do muscles. Even connective tissue gets stronger with use. Cartilage might not (I'm not sure) but heals. It doesn't just grind down from use, or professional runners would all have severe arthritis at 25. Sedentary people still get arthritis.

I'm not sure you're a representative sample. It's not normal to be unable to walk in regular shoes unless you're elderly.

That's a good point. I'm terrible at this kind of negotiation though, do you usually come in with a particular price or do they have a set amount if it's cash? I think I'd like to get better at negotiating, I usually end up paying full price for a car because of my lack of such skill.

> It appears that China is too big to govern

The population wasn't as big, but without modern technology the history of Chinese national governance is likely better than any other region in the world. From around 250 BC to 1911, the Chinese usually had effective national government which made China a world leader economically, culturally, and technologically.

(There are many caveats: 1) During that time there were periods of civil war and division also; 2) the geographical area defined as China varied quite a bit; 3) I use the word "usually", but I don't know the percentage of time stable, effective government was provided; certainly there were many successful emporers and dynasties.)
C# supports functional programming so what's the problem? It is not 'completely counter to the mainstream usage'. I write mostly in VB.Net (not by choice) but I write a lot of code in functional style, no one complains.
Standing a questionable comparison next to two others that are more clear-cut doesn't make the first more true.

> It sounds like they could have made a device that even a firmware update couldn't break, but they didn't. I really don't see how they can refuse. Your analogy is good.

This is nearly impossible because the development lifecycle and end-user usability almost necessitates there be software or firmware updates that would be authenticated (to either fix dev bugs or help users).
I too assumed this limitation was widespread. But if unicorns are high-valued private companies, and there is a secondary market for their stock, then surely some holders are not restricted this way.

Anyone know why / what triggers that? When is it typical for stock granted to employees to actually be resellable?

Why would Apple not voluntarily comply? They should not need to be compelled here. They should be eager to assisting this investigation.

One of my main "free time" activities (non tech related) is bicycle riding. I do road biking, mountain biking and BMX to varying degrees. I'm also looking to start getting back into trail running with an eye towards eventually running an ultra-marathon.

Otherwise, I spend a lot of time reading, both techie / business related stuff, other non-fiction, and fiction. I read a lot of science / history stuff that isn't strictly tech (for example, I like reading about cosmology and particle physics, and WWI / WWII history).

I'll go to the occasional concert, mostly heavy metal / hard rock stuff of various sorts.

And then I'll throw on Netflix or Amazon Prime here and there and watch a movie or something now and then.
Oh, come on - you don't really think so, do you? How many people do you know with diabetes as a result of eating potatoes or mangoes? Check out Starch Solution by John McDougall, if you're being serious.

> The available data support the idea that consumption of diets high in total carbohydrate does not adversely affect insulin sensitivity compared with high fat diets. Animal data suggest that simple sugars, in particular fructose, have adverse effects on insulin action, but adverse effects have not been shown conclusively in humans.

Not solved on LANs, ad-hoc local networks, virtual networks, or when DNS is down or broken.

This is not really an end-user issue but it is a serious usability issue for IT admins and developers. It's very very common to schlep around raw IPs constantly when messing with networks and I don't see that going away. It's also very important to be able to visually parse IPs when understanding the topology of a network, writing firewall rules or routes, etc.

This is a DX (developer experience) issue more than a UX (user experience) issue.

Edit: three specific problems with DNS:

(1) What happens when things are not configured yet?

(2) OSes are designed to have one DNS server but people belong to many networks either at once (local + VPN + virtual + ...) or serially via mobility. In reality you need many DNS servers, but then how do you deal with naming conflicts?

(3) DNS is dependent on IP so you can't use DNS to debug DNS issues. It's a circular dependency.

In practice IP schlep is very common.

Stop it with the tired lock metaphors, they are wildly inapplicable. If the WSJ wanted to require access to some secret knowledge or possession of some token for access, they could. Instead, they are dispatching on something the protocol they're using agrees you are free to set to whatever you want for the "best experience". In fact the specification specifically recognizes that you will change the agent. Much like the color of your car.

"If a user agent masquerades as a different user agent, recipients can assume that the user intentionally desires to see responses tailored for that identified user agent, even if they might not work as well for the actual user agent being used"

It's a param exactly equivalent to asking "who would you like to be treated as?" If I say "the pope!" and you respond by kissing my ring, I have not defrauded you.
