> You contradict with your previous statement that Signal does not provide OOB key verification...

I do no such thing because I never made such a statement. I addressed your claim about mandatory OOB key exchange, not optional verification. To jog your memory, the two times I brought up OOB exchange were as follows:

>> Last time I checked whats app didn't require any kind of OOB key exchange, or ability to set your own password.

> Neither does Signal/TextSecure. Signal most definitely has E2E encryption. [0]

and

> Signal neither requires OOB key exchange, nor does it require that you set a password to encrypt Signal data while on disk. [1]

Notice that I talk about how Signal doesn't require OOB key exchange, not that Signal doesn't provide OOB key verification.

My fault. I totally misunderstood. Sorry.
Yep you're totally right, sorry.
The comment I reacted to mentioned the strategy of the Japanese in World War Two. They had islands with lots of infrastructure (for the time), too.

I think the problem for the Japanese was that they didn't have enough ships. Knowing that, they went for the island approach. Doing that, they gave up mobility in exchange for size and robustness. The mobility of the US navy allowed the US to concentrate firepower and take an island at a time. If distances between islands were smaller the Japanese might have been able to better defend against the US by rapidly moving planes and infantry between islands.

Here's the statement from Wind River:[1] "Wind River contributed the Rocket kernel to Zephyr who brings together industry leaders in software and hardware to build an RTOS for IoT." There will still be a proprietary version of Rocket, which is the same kernel but also has components for connecting to Wind River's "App Cloud", which seems to be a hosted IDE. The Zephyr project offers only command line build tools under Linux.

Easiest way to ease yourself into ASP.NET programming on a Mac is probably to use Xamarin Studio:

Cockroach enforces this guarantee on a per-key basis as opposed to for the entire node. If a key has been read at time t, it may only be subsequently written at time > t. CockroachDB accomplishes this using a timestamp cache at the leader node for a range. But this doesn't cause writes to block. Instead, the write timestamp is pushed to the most recent read + 1 logical tick.

> Wasn't that the corporate guy that did that to his employees? Intruding into their homes, even?

Well, the Fed was the one that monitored everything at work and bugged its employees' home phones too. L. Bob Rife was the corporate guy who didn't think that that was good enough, and wanted to be able to partition work data in his employees' minds so that they didn't have access to it outside of work. I think Rife is mentioned in passing as doing the former kind of monitoring whereas the Feds' practices are described in excruciating (and entertaining) detail, so you can certainly be forgiven for conflating the two.
Length extension attacks work for both append and prepend. I don't know if you're right, or whether or not either of them are vulnerable, but the correct solution to this problem is to use the HMAC[0] construction.

1) An attacker (/ RF noise) can induce false alarms frequently enough that you no longer take the alarm seriously.

2) Can I get the crypto keys you're relying on by buying the hardware myself and dumping the firmware? What about by ripping an exterior sensor off the wall? What about by social engineering you into giving me an invoice with the serial number on it?

3) What happens if I power-cycle your building? Do the sequence numbers start over?

4) How are you going to communicate the alarm condition to anyone who can help? If I cut your phone/internet lines? If I bring a cell phone jammer?

Not an expert either, but I remember a fascinating chapter of a security engineering textbook from HN years ago talking about what goes into the design of robust alarm systems. The process is largely driven by the high-end valuables insurance industry, which has standards/certifications for the alarms you must buy to enjoy their protection. I'll see if I can dig it up.

Wireless isn't inherently impossible to secure, but it must be done very carefully.
No, the architecture is all wrong for this being part of a container system. This is for tiny embedded computers. Like RFID tags.
The Artificial Universe That Creates Itself
I actually think the problem is sort of the opposite. People who agree are (usually) civil to each other. Online, where privacy or pseudonymity is the norm, people who disagree with each other tend to do so in ways they wouldn't imagine doing in person. Environments of disagreement seem to often devolve into aggression and rude personal attacks.
Children have to abide by the law but don't have input into its making. Thus I think your rationale on 2 is not sufficient. I'm against corporations from making campaign contributions because the money GE, for instance, has far outweighs what millions of actual people have and the decision to spend GE's money is in the hands of very few people. Those people who do have the power to spend GE's money on campaigns are themselves very wealthy people and already have a disproportionate amounts of influence on campaigns.
Do all states have the 52 hour requirement? Do they require someone that has obtained a resident license in another state to do as much work as someone who has no license?

You'd be surprised.

Would I? I was talking about employability, not avoiding wet pants during a 2 week visit. I think if it were much worth employing someone to weld after 50 hours of training, we wouldn't have industry screaming about welders (maybe it's regulation requiring industry to only hire well trained welders?).
1) Most of the Reddit competitors are hobbies while Imgur was built as a business. Similarly, their competition with Reddit is largely ideological rather than practical values people care about en mass.

2) Everyone who tried to move into Imgur's position found image hosting was very expensive and impractical as a hobby. The problem is they've largely been ideological and cut off from Reddit's ecosystem due to Imgur's incumbency.

3) Ultimately, until Reddit or Imgur stumbles in a substantial way that pisses off users none of them will be viable even with VC money.

Holy self-righteousness, Batman.
I thought this too. But I am in the middle of my job search (applied for several on the ASK HN thread) and the calls I have received back are for jobs I did not write a cover letter or at most a paragraph that I sent with my resume.

The two companies where I spent almost a week each writing a cover letter and editing it until I thought it was perfect, have not even bothered to send me a "not interested." Obviously anecdotal, but not sure if I will continue to put in that effort as it does not seem to make a difference for me.
Anything with caches is non-deterministic, although there is worst case timing. Just because you have an MMU doesn't mean you have to have paging to disk. Paging to disk is on the way out; few mobile devices do it. RAM is too cheap.

Make contribution like a free market. The more you pay (with some kind of credit), the more visibility your post/comment will get. If people like your contributions, you earn credits. If they don't, you lose them.

I'm sure the gambling aspect (big gains if you invest a lot and wisely) would hook a ton of people. Quality, hopefully, would follow.
This was my first thought. The influence ought to follow a 4PL fit curve (not sure what the function is called). You're only trying to make sure the user is not terrible, you don't care once they've proven themselves worthy.

You just made me think of what might actually be be possible if you could hack a microwave through the control pad. I'm not sure what could be accomplished with sending unrestricted commands to the hardware in a microwave, but depending on the cheapness of the components, I suspect it's not good.
Hmm... interesting. I wonder how you define a "tenant" and how tenant affinity is applied to a connection (routing). I doubt you're talking about process-per-web-request, in that case a good ole CGI would do.

My grandparents met when they were both engaged to other people. The story goes that my grandfather came home that day and told his fiancee that: "I met another woman and while I do not know if she is the right one I have learned that you are the wrong one". He ended up marrying that woman he met that day and living happily together for more than sixty years. The fiancee found someone else and lived happily as well.

I don't think it matters much if someone is the wrong person for anyone. They are just as dangerous as the wrong person for yourself. If you are allergic to cats or peanuts who cares that other people enjoy them?
One big issue that could impact Reddit if not addressed is Imgur.

Recently Imgur appears to have started redirecting some people from direct image links to their full site (some claim this happens even on submissions linking directly to an image/gif). I've noticed this quite a bit on mobile or in the Alien Blue app. Others have also reported this behavior. My guess is Imgur is doing this not to display ads right away, but to drive people to their own app for later monetization and growing their own brand/community.

Imgur has taken $40M in funding, and so is presumably needing to find an exit at some point. Reddit sending tons of traffic directly to images was great for establishing themselves deep in the Reddit ecosystem early on, but if people are going directly to images vs. to the HTML page, that's a lot of lost impressions beyond just those who visit it directly or go to upload photos.

The load times for their site vs. just direct image/gif files are pretty painful on mobile, and this ultimately impacts the Reddit experience. I'm really curious if Reddit would ever roll out their own image host as a result, and it will be very interesting to watch this.
There are lots of competitors for imgur, but imgur has a major advantage with its association with Reddit.

Well, to some degree, that's their problem. They made their bed and they have to lie in it.

A key community manager rule is 'don't promise freedom of speech on your site, because you likely don't have it and you will get absolutely eviscorated the minute you try and censor anything':

http://www.managingcommunities.com/2010/01/24/when-talking-a...

http://www.managingcommunities.com/2015/07/16/your-online-co...

If you say your community is pro freedom of speech or allows freeom of speech, you pretty much make yourself obliged to allow anything that's not literally illegal. That will include an awful lot of stuff that you personally don't like, that your corporate backers don't like, that other members on the site don't like...

And hence you have to make the awful decision; do you allow anything (like Voat or certain chan boards) and accept the consequences? Or do you start censoring and immediately lose the right to say you allow freedom of speech?

Making comments like this is a great way to cause a site or business to self destruct spectacularly. Reddit may be a private company, but their community was founded on a freedom of speech stance. They've turned against those ideals, so now they're going to struggle a lot more since people feel they've been betrayed.

That's a situation Reddit is going to have a lot of trouble escaping. And they could have at least delayed it by not hiring people who dislike the principles the company and site was founded on.

I agree, we shouldn't be placing bets. I wasn't. I was just saying that it is technically possible to implement a secure enclave that can protect its data against firmware updates while the device is locked.

The fact that the enclave firmware can be seamlessly updated while in an unlocked state is not evidence that the enclave firmware can be seamlessly in a locked state.
The Art of War Applied to Software Development
Examples of libraries that can be noisy:

* Flask-CORS: When I first started using this it's default logging level was really noisy.

* factory (aka Factory Boy): You can turn in DEBUG level to get a deluge of information about what is happening with your test data.

* SQLAlchemy: The 'echo' option to create_engine isn't the only way that you can control logging. E.g.:

import logging
logging.basicConfig()
logging.getLogger('sqlalchemy.engine').setLevel(logging.INFO)

Using logging_tree will give you a good idea of the loggers that have been initialized on the libraries that you're using.
Read the link you posted. The very first sentence: "An intelligence quotient (IQ) is a score derived from one of several standardized tests designed to assess human intelligence."

Improve your score in one of the standardized tests, and you will by definition improve your IQ.
Lots of companies are getting around the H1B cap by setting up satellite offices at universities, since they are cap exempt. You are an employee of the university but all work is directed and owned by the company. Universities pay you out of a grant, which looks good for deans etc. and they take a cut.

Downside is you are typically in the "academic" pay scale, which is significantly lower than typical H1B industry software engineer pay scales. But then again scores of H1B discount themselves because they value so highly being on US soil, so it may not look like so much of a discount to you.

CUNY is doing a program with an entrepreneurship bend, but the sponsors of the program have come right out and said it's a loophole around the cap to get engineers.

I'd think this loophole would be closed but with the overwhelming support for expanding the H1B program I don't think that'll be the case no matter who ends up as POTUS or which party is in control of Congress.

You're mistaking IQ with the underlying factors which it is derived from. IQ is, by definition, just a function of your scores on a bunch of standardized tests which try to determine your intelligence. If you can study for the kinds of questions the tests ask you, you can improve your IQ. It is a different story from improving whatever the underlying factors are.

For example, some IQ tests ask you "What's the next number in this series...". If you aren't very good with numbers, you might do very poorly on this section. However, if you sit down and learn about a lot of the patterns that show up frequently in those types of questions, then you may increase your score dramatically on that section, and thus improve your IQ.
The app's name is iTerm2. Version numbers have to increase lexicographically, so the version 3 beta is called 2.9. I'm open to suggestions :)

Thanks, awesome to see that this is possible. I gave up on Netflix on Linux many moons ago and got the 4K-capable FireTV recently. Very happy with the ability to side load packages and install Kodi and Plex to talk with my FreeNAS, as well as having Prime video, Netflix, HBO Go, and YouTube work in official + supported modes with stuff like subtitles, surround sound, and 4K support (on Netflix). It's also an AirPlay target with a $1 app install, which also lets you "cast" YouTube videos or do iOS screen mirroring.

I couldn't build something better, especially considering that it's a fanless stylish small box with USB keyboard + mouse support. That it costs under $100 (got mine for $75 during Black Friday) is just a cherry on top. There's nothing I know of that has official support for more stuff while still allowing Plex + Kodi + side loading (for things like Firefox to watch Viki).
> Apple does have licensed third party repairers.

This is a common misconception. Apple DOES license repair shops for Mac repairs. However, those licensed shops cannot do iPhone screen repairs, per their agreement with Apple. Apple doesn't have any way to get licensed for iPhone screen repairs--nor do they sell "official" Apple parts. Hence, the huge third-party repair industry that has popped up, complete with distributors offering high-quality screen/digitizer replacements and stores that will replace screens.

That really surprises me. I've never found mathematical notation to be anything than very useful and terse. Can you make it any more clear what bothers you?

It has always been very clear for me, and I'm not sure what could be improved. I'd think any attempt to make it less ambiguous or more expressive would eventually devolve in something very similar to what we have now, because of our compulsion to simplify repeated tasks (eg Einstein notation, bra-ket etc..)
