Slander is, yes. If you can prove its truthful it's OK, if it's provably false it's illegal, and you can take the offending party to court.

Edit - publicly insulting someone often falls into slander, depending on what was said. In Canada all charges are pressed by the crown, so to a certain degree they decide what's what. In general, if there's the possibility of damages arising from the insults, it can be prosecuted.

Edit2 - here's an interesting one for you: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/insulting-police-onli...
This is an interesting filing from the DOJ because they somehow seem incredulous that a private business would have commercial interests. In fact it probably hurts their commercial interests and brand for the reason you stated.
For sure. Having read a fair amount about the circumstances surrounding the release of Go Set a Watchman, it's sad to see that the widespread opinion is that it should be canon.

> And unfortunately that’s often how it is with the American police. They are trained in ending crisis situations forcefully, but there isn’t enough training in how to deescalate them so that no one gets hurt or killed.

It's a sad commentary when the police can't do police work without killing the people they are supposed to be protecting.

The other obvious choice I would think would be to call the paramedics! Is there some reason that a person having this kind of a crisis shouldn't have an ambulance called?
I have a stationary exercise bike in my basement. I ride it for 20-30 minutes almost every day. While I'm riding, I close my eyes and meditate, mostly just focusing on my breathing. I get my cardio and my meditation handled in one shot.
Agreed. Public schooling in most places completely fails at teaching the general population how to plan for their future and learn basic financial responsibility. A first step would be to show students what sort of options will be available to them and what consequences of each option could entail.
Right, but they should not be indicating it's ready for production right now...simply because it's been production ready for ~2 years, stable for longer really.

We have had React in production for almost 2 years...it has been extremely stable.

It should be clear that React is very mature, I think 15.0.0 fits.
In my opinion the WSJ has a major rendering bug that affects everyone except for the google search crawler, and I selectively set my User Agent to get around said bug.
Those are the numbers of people who are on the rich list, not the total in those political bodies.

To get the average per "congress critter" you'd have to get the total in each body, and get the net worths of the ones not on the rich list. I suspect it's less than 2.28B, but still a good bit higher than in the US.
> Mima is probably the most advanced binary compatibility checker anywhere. Not everyone's using it, but projects that do can provide very good guarantees.

Certainly, but that's not what I was talking about is it?

My point was that there isn't a culture (in the JVM world) of just publishing the source. If there was there would be no problems other than source-incompatibility. The culture in Haskell-land is that either a) you publish the sources or b) you deal with whatever pain may come your way.

Mostly, people have followed approach a) when it comes to things like "parse JSON fast/reliably" (aeson), but b) when it comes to "oh, this is our trading platform/strategy". Which is fine... but the ecosystem usually benefits from the a) side of things.

Not entering the market is also a risk. Say you're an app developer and you don't publish your app on Chinese app stores, chances are someone else will do it anyway and steal the revenue. Good luck finding it and getting it taken down. (Off course chances are it'll still be stolen even if you publish it yourself there)
Sure, but I honestly can't think of a seafood product, raw or cooked that smells quite as bad as crickets do. Even when cooked they somehow retain the smell (I accidentally tried a "grashopper" taco once--turned out it was actually crickets--one bite was too much.)
So one thing this article kind of takes granted/doesn't describe is physical security of the Secure Enclave. What exactly is done (physically) to make it tamper proof? How is the UUID stored in such a way that the Secure Enclave can still read it, but somebody with access to unlimited resources can't dissect the processor die to read it out? I understand that there have to be some sort of countermeasures, but I haven't ever really seen anybody describe what they are.
Apple can lose this and still win. The check on courts' power to compel third parties to cooperate in discovering evidence is "unreasonable burden." Here, you have a device that seems like it can be broken without too much fuss. But by fighting this battle, Apple puts itself in a much stronger position to argue that the burden upon them is unreasonable when the government comes around looking to unlock a phone featuring a security enclave. Even if they lose this, they're drawing a line and saying "this is the border between reasonable and unreasonable."

The government's approach is a double-edged sword. On one hand, they can pick an "easy case"--as they have here--and hope to establish a toe-hold. On the other hand, the precedent created by an "easy case" can have an anchoring effect that limits its reach. When a principle is applied to overwhelmingly favorable facts it can leave courts looking for the mirror-image scenario: if the burden is reasonable here, when is it unreasonable?
Regardless of the merit of the FBI's request and Apple's refusal, this is rather hypocritical response from the FBI, since their insistence to make the request public is what triggered Apple's public response in the first place:

<<Apple had asked the F.B.I. to issue its application for the tool under seal. But the government made it public, prompting Mr. Cook to go into bunker mode to draft a response, according to people privy to the discussions, who spoke on condition of anonymity.>>

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/19/technology/how-tim-cook-be...

In this case, the Justice department is clearly the one with the bigger 'marketing strategy' agenda here by trying to market the merit of their request to the American public and congress.

(As a side note, most of the non-tech folks I talk to seem to be siding with the FBI's request, so at least at some level, the government seems to be winning the marketing battle.)
Exactly. This is a "old is new" kind of design. Back when logic was so expensive as to make computers almost impossible, designs were build around a small number of execution units on a small number of buses and a comparatively compact microcode table that could share them sequentially. So you only needed one adder because the IP increment and ALU operation could share it on different clocks.

Then once there was space to put all the stuff needed for a single instruction on the die, we found ourselves clock-limited by long logic depth and started splitting the functions out across "pipeline" stages, which begat RISC, and we've never looked back.

But all that being said: this design is totally cheating. Sure, the logic takes only 308 LUTs. But the microcode is stored in 4 block RAMs, which a quick Google tells me are 36kbit a piece. That's a much more significant chunk of chip resources than is implied in the linked article.
It's possible some crickets are less stinky than others. But man, that smell... Shrimp, etc don't stink like that.

Storage unit owner has keys with which s/he can unlock the unit. Police does not ask storage unit owner to demolish his building at his own expense to get access to the unit if owner does not have keys.

Apple already "unlocked storage unit" to police where they had keys by providing police iCloud backups. Now police is asking Apple to "demolish the building".
No, see earlier in the article. That is true for the 5S and later, but not for the device in question (5C) and older.
It is a hard fact there is no "most of them" with which you can have this argument. You can't make a meta group of people holding the same thought virus "listen" to an argument that is an equivalent thought virus. That's why you find yourself simulating what others might say to you if you didn't say it just right:

> Otherwise, they just fluff it off as a "whining from a bunch of liberal, elite pansies".

You can't simulate what you might say and then simulate what they might say and make any of it make any sense (or be reasonably efficient in whatever systems you plug that stupid logic into).

Stop the cycle and solve the real problem. That's all I'm asking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rE3j_RHkqJc
No, this has nothing to do with Google's rapid release cycle or versioning scheme. As stated in the article, the API is stable so, it makes sense to switch to a semver scheme.[1] From an engineering perspective, this is a system that makes perfect sense for all libraries to adopt.

They choice 15 as the starting MAJOR version because people already referred to 0.14.x as "React 14", avoiding any possible naming confusion. They will remain at 15 as long as there are no major features or API breaking changes introduced.

Isn't that essentially an ad hominem?
It is positive marketing for them. The fears that oversea customers have about US corporations are real, and drive real spending decisions. There will be economic ramifications to Apple and the entire security industry if the FBI wins this fight. For that matter, if the government gets intrusive enough, the fears of not overseas customers are going to start driving buying decisions too.

And let's be honest... this is marketing by the FBI too, picking a convenient fight on ground of their choosing to obtain this new power. The Justice Department is right, but the Federal Goverment is not in a position to throw stones from their glass house here.

I'm surprised to see Japan as their fastest growing market. I was very disappointed with the selection available when I was looking to rent an apartment last year. While they probably don't have enough accommodation for the Olympics, I will say that I generally find very cheap accommodation available in Japan, as opposed to many other countries.

I have a bunch of the books they want and I am definitely willing to scan them in even with the knowledge that it would be a lot of hard work.

>How? How does the software get locked to a specific phone?

They take the udid of the phone, and refuse to run if it doesn't match the udid of the iPhone 5C in question. This was specifically mentioned in the court order.

>And while it's certainly possible that someone could figure out what Apple's signing keys are, it's incredibly unlikely given how big the numbers we're dealing with are. Which means, sure, somebody else could modify the source code, but getting it on to devices is an entirely different question.

You seem to have misunderstood. The threat model is not someone figuring out the key, the threat model is someone stealing the key. And, as I've been saying all along, the attacker needs to steal the key regardless of whether Apple complies with the court order or not. Modifying the source is not enough.

>Based on what I've read of what you've written, it seems like you genuinely believe that software is some magic cure-all that can do anything and everything you want, regardless of the practicality and effort required, and actual known constraints.

I'm not sure what I've written that gives that impression. Which specific known constraint have I suggested software can get around? https://blog.trailofbits.com/2016/02/17/apple-can-comply-wit... makes it sound that it would not be difficult for Apple to comply.
The Intersection of SEO and CRO (and How to Maximize Long Term Growth)
I wasn't playing a linguistic game. You mentioned standards and malformed requests, and I pointed out that you misused those terms. I am not bothering to track down definitions for you to play, as you say, linguistic games. You are free to find something that proves my position wrong, as I used the RFC to cite my position as correct.

If you meant to put forth that faking a user agent is a technique to exceed authorization, that's fine, and I'm glad to have helped you clarify it. Just be clear, it's not what you said with your detour into malformed requests.
Dear Reader, please consider reading some financial journalism to familiarize yourself with common idioms.

As a long time mint.com user, I hadn't checked out YNAB before. Reading some of their info, I see I do most of the same disciplines, but they are really hardcore about the budget.

One thing that stuck out is in their Simplify [1] article, they recommend not having multiple savings accounts for medium to long term savings goals because that's complicated and the budget takes care of it in a simpler way.

In Mint it would be confusing to do that with a budget alone (the money accumulates as a negative budget amount and just looks like you're under budget by more every month), but they have the Goal feature that links a target date and amount with both a budget and one or more accounts (checking, savings, brokerage, etc.). Mint checks the balances for reporting goal progress.

I don't find this to be complicated or cause an excess focus on the location of money. The clear visibility is helpful and puts a sharp focus on both the budget and the (now smaller) balance of the main checking cash flow account. I know I'm not touching emergency savings, anniversary vacation savings, or whatever because there's no way to access the money without manually transferring it out of the dedicated savings account.

Is YNAB so good that one can really clearly see what is going on with both short term cash flow and slightly longer term savings going through just the budget and a checking account?

That is a fairly extreme position to put forth as an unsupported assertion.
WotC owns the IP, so they could do any number of things:

1.) Make a derivative work for the new D&D version (everyone loves retro)

2.) Make a new video game off of the old content.

3.) Rerelease books are part of an XXst aniversary edition.

The key here being that "they" (since it wasn't really WotC, but TSR) lost a lot of physical assets (both written and visual IP), and are basically paying pocket change for people to give that back to them. Indeed, they are even having the end user do the hardest part of the work, which is the scanning. Rather than just buying the books at market prices, and then doing the work themselves.

The real question is, "Why would they ask for scans of old books and pay $50 for them", with the only commercially reasonable answer being, "Because they think that they will obtain much more that $50 woth of value, or the work required to obtain and scan it themselves is worth way more than $50".

Why NULL Is Bad in Java?
I'm more familiar with HSMs (Hardware Security Modules), which are larger devices used to securely store and manipulate cryptographic data by certificate authorities and so on. But the security requirements are similar, and HSMs are designed to destroy their secured data (e.g. key material) if they're physically tampered with. If you physically breach their security envelope, then it protects the data by immediately wiping internal storage of all key material.

I suspect the iPhone's Secure Enclave is designed to self-destruct in a similar way.

... But it only takes one moment of weakness to see a new car, fall in love with it, be convinced your life will be better with it and the next thing you know you've committed to 48 payments.

I'm trying not be rude here, but that is one of the crazier things I've read. I understand splurging on something like a new pair of shoes or sunglasses, but how poor is your willpower and life planning that you just end up buying a brand new car you can't afford on a whim?

A new smart phone isn't so bad if you can afford it (and by that I mean you have the cash on hand for it upfront, and don't need to do a payment plan or something similar). If you're struggling to pay rent though, just get a refurbished 5s or something.
