I think that Chinese history is quite remarkable. It's a bit like a Roman Empire that grew, changed, and stumbled, but never truly fell. Heck, it even has about the same amount of arable land as the EU[1].

Gitlab is a me too product whose main selling point is "not github". Github was a trailblazer that deserves its position as market leader, gitlab can make no such claim. Gitlab is a slow and clunky github clone at best.

Give me a strong reason to switch by doing something cool gitlab. Please have at-least one killer original feature that shows that you are capable of original thinking . Merely existing and throwing some free stuff at me is not a good reason for me to switch.
Am I missing something here, or is there no reason the FBI couldn't desolder the 5C's Toshiba NAND flash chip, read its encrypted contents, and perform the desired offline brute-force attack themselves?

The key derivation function is known, right?
I read everything that gets posted on misc, and my impression is that most questions get good answers. There are a couple people who are abrasive and will occasionally step in to tell someone off (even when others are helping), but I think the overall quality of responses is pretty decent. Troll posts certainly get a lot of attention though, I've seen it happen a number. :/
https://github.com/gabconcepcion/chrome-extension-read-time-...
Interesting, thanks for the info.

Do reads execute through raft? If not, how do you guarantee that behavior - relying on leader leases? If so, does the lease period guarantee disjointness in the timestamps a leader can process, or do you rely on the leader abdicating control via timeout?

Since it can push the write timestamp, does that mean the write transaction aborts if it was in serializable mode? Does that cause problems updating a value that is heavily read?
There isn't a clean way to solve representation of a 128-bit number. It's a big number. It'll be big to represent.

I am curious what other problems you think it has, that don't just come along with the bigger address space?

The realistic perspective here is still essentially the cost one: most people who have IPv4 hardware see little reason to move at all, until they have a problem.
It's the "allah" part. Someone told them that Hezbollah means party of god and "allah" is the US spelling. At a subconscious level they probably enjoy using the term in a negative connotation.
But what's the point? If, as the commenter asks, you're looking to cover yourself in the event of wanting a mortgage, perhaps car loan too, you only need good credit.

I do know the UK doesn't use credit score as the US does, so it may operate on a different premise where gaming the score matters.
I think one thing that needs to be said is Mike Ash is just one of those super humans where Apple & code are concerned.

I've been reading Friday Q&A for years and the posts never cease to amaze. He doesn't politicize or whine about anything. It's always thoughts from a teacher, a master.

I wish there was more in the tech world like him. Thanks Mike!

I mean, I was responding to a personal comment that directly and personally told me I don't "get" things (and which included what can be reasonably interpreted as a veiled threat by mentioning my departure year from a throwaway account, to make clear that I'm a known quantity in the equation). I'm really trying, here, Dan. We've talked about this over e-mail, but it's getting really tough to contribute here with arbitrary boundaries that are inconsistently enforced, and that a penalty remains on my account for some comment I made in the past that doesn't even matter any more.

I bit my tongue on you detaching this subthread because I've learned that moderation is opaque and largely not welcome to outside opinion, but I agree with Ryan up there and suspect you detached the thread to hide where I went with it. I'm fine with that (honest). Just wish you'd say that.

I've edited, regardless. Is that better?

I'm not sure how inconvenient it would be. Cell towers would look like street light posts, people would be carrying around little flashlights in their pockets all the time.
These are good points. My remark was off the cuff; it's clear that you've thought (or at least are thinking) about it much more deeply.
TFA:

What is the Ice Age Effect?

The Earth is growing more spherical because 20,000 years ago we had a lot more ice at the poles. When ice sheets were at the poles they kind of squished the Earth from both poles and the Earth flattened a little bit. When those ice sheets melted, that flattening started to rebound and we’re becoming spherical, so our spin rate should be increasing, like a ballerina or a figure skater. The ice age correction is a speeding up of the rotation rate.

In both cases, polar ice is melting. Since it's claimed that this melting has two opposite effects, it's unclear how to separate one effect from the other.
That's fair, though private establishments are still allowed to distinguish based on other criteria such as membership, partnership, etc. I didn't meant to be super specific. I'm merely pointing out that they are allowed to establish barriers to entry.
You're right. As soon as oil returns to $100, we'll be seeing coal-powered autos.
> It would be a pain to use ipv6 internally.

So.. Have you ever actually used ipv6?

With ipv6 your organization gets a prefix assigned, usually a /32 or a /48

So you would get assigned a prefix like 2626:32:400::/48

With ipv4 where if you were lucky you had a /16 that had 65,536 addresses - with "simple" /24 subnetting for 256 subnets of 256 hosts each.

With ipv6 you minimally have a /48 that has 65,536 subnets.

So you can just start subnetting things like 2626:32:400:0/64 is headquarters, 2626:32:400:1/64 is marketing. And you never have to worry about running out of address space on each subnet, since each subnet has room for 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 addresses.

And since there is room for 65,536 subnets, you can easily do things like immediately carve that up into blocks of 512 subnets for every geographical location and project... once. And not end up with "10.1.3.0 is marketing, but also 10.1.58.0 because we ran out of room"

So really, if you can type 192.168.x.y, you can type 2626:32:400:x:y.

>Gitlab is a me too product whose main selling point is "not github".

it sounds like some people are looking for just that, though.
This isn't about money or protectionism. This is about information control. The government states what they wish the truth were as if it were true. This is not believable if there is other evidence, or even a broad discussion. Hence, viewpoints contrary to the government's "truth" must be stamped out.

Apparently Xi's predecessors did not think this was as important, but Xi seems to be old-school.

I do not think this is a good idea for China or the government. It seems like the government only has one solution for a problem: more control. More control is like pressurizing a container. The more pressure you put, the bigger the explosion when the container eventually ruptures. I don't think this is in the interest of anyone in China, so I hope they rethink things before the pressure gets too high.
enough credit card programs out there provide cash back (1-5%) on purchases, for no annual fee. that ought to make using it for a monthly purchasing conduit ideal (your real cash can be collecting interest between monthly payoffs, and your transactions get a nice 1-5% haircut usually at the end of the year).
Cool product, bookmarked for future use. There are some weird bugs in your landing page though.

Firstly, since you're using a responsive front-end framework (Bootstrap), you should configure the viewport meta tag:

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

should work nicely. Add 'minimum-scale=1' to the meta tag's content to enable rasterization (better FPS when scrolling etc.)

You also have a bug in your markup which causes content to overflow outside of the viewport, resulting horizontal scrolling being possible at 1x scale when it shouldn't be.

This is because the #benefits row should be wrapped by a containing element with 15px left and right padding to balance out the Bootstrap row element's negative margins.

This issue is actually present on other pages as well. You'll want to add 15px left/right padding to the #support element, the #login element, and the .register element on their respective pages.

Typically, rows in Bootstrap are intended to be wrapped by a div with either the 'container' or 'container-fluid' class, which add the aforementioned padding.

The beauty of the Bootstrap grid is that the rows' negative margins allow grids to be nested without squashing columns with ever increasing gutters. This negative margin comes at a price: it adds to the containing element's width, meaning that padding must be added to eat this inflation.

Finally, the mixpanel link is clickable just beneath the clients image, when the button is actually at the bottom of the page. This is because the image is positioned relatively and offset by 250px, yet the containing anchor is not, and appears in its normal place.

To fix this last issue, replace this:

#home #mix {
position: relative;
top: 240px;
}

and with this:

.featured a {
position: relative;
top: 240px;
}
A few reasons:

- FBI wants to turn Apple's "good security" campaign into something that makes them look like they are not willing to help with the terrorism investigation (thereby, if all goes according to plan, the public will value their own security less than national security).

- FBI wants to be sure the data stays intact. It would be bad for them if they took out the chip and it got cleared. (This is clear in the document; it says the OS should run solely in RAM and make no writes to disk.)

- FBI wants to do this again in the future. Once the software is made and signed, it will be easy for Apple to (a) give it to them so it can be used for other phones or (b) run it themselves on the other phone. If Apple refuses the second time around, FBI can always take out the chip and do it themselves.

- FBI doesn't know everything that Apple knows about where the data is stored on the filesystem, assuming they can get as far as the filesystem. It's easier for them to have a proper UI they can use the phone through.

Does anyone really believe he can do it? Is anyone taking him seriously?

I see this as a campaign stunt for the LP nod. But for me, it only confirms that Gary Johnson is the right choice. McAfee isn't exactly striking a resonant chord for liberty here. He's coming off like a braggart.

I wish the FBI would give him a shot at the data- cause I'd like to see him eat a shoe on live TV, or STFU and go into hiding if he doesn't have the guts to eat the shoe.

Cause I don't think for a second he can break AES.
CI, Breaking Builds, Bisecting, and Reverting
Wow so the government broke the autobackup approach by reseting the password afterwards. That was clever!
Yeah. That's what I mean. People leave, they have no viewers anymore, everybody happy.
For local backups, Apple says [1] that "There is no way to recover your information or turn off Encrypt Backup if you lose or forget the password." so I'm inclined to thinking it's done with a secure symmetric encryption scheme with the key held by the user. If that's the case, since iTunes prompts you for a separate backup password (only used when restoring a backup), a security-conscious user would probably make that password sufficiently long as to be impossible to brute-force, regardless of any help from Apple.

It looks just like yours on Win 10 under Chrome. I was curious and tried in Edge and it renders fine.

Also, the settings in Win 10 allow you to turn off a lot of the phone home type stuff. Other than that, my opinion is that 10 mostly feels like a more polished 7.
For things like STD tests it raises the barrier and cost of frequent testing. We need a more fine grained policy than all blood tests require a physician.
Also a great idea! Seldom used that feature until now.

That's quite an exaggeration. What ended Holland's foray into imperialism was the Anglo-Dutch wars which started fifteen years later in 1652.
This is a ridiculous non sequitur. Doesn't matter who the company is, the fact that Apple is trying to fight a court order that is on shaky legal ground, and would set a terrible precent, is what the EFF is supporting.

No, we intervened in a civil war between two groups, one that we decided was more in our interests to support. And we opened 2 markets for arms to be sold to, that would be healthy vibrant markets (for arms) for the next seventy years.

I've been comparing Github and Gitlab over the last few weeks. Gitlab had a few more features in the web interface, which is why we chose it for a current project. Github has added these features last week, mostly thanks to pressure, which is good. Here's where Gitlab is lacking though: It's quite buggy, its API is nowhere near as good as Github's and there is no way to secure webhooks, which IMO is quite a big deal. If I'd decide today for another project I'd just pay Github 7$ a month and be done with it. In fact if we keep having issues that's exactly what we'll do - migrating in a git world is quite easy for the points mentioned in the article.

I've been quite impressed how Github has acted over the last weeks - when there's actually an outcry they're quite nimble and can react quickly. They've noticed the competition catching up and shot themselves ahead of the curve again.

I personally want to live in competition. I support that through allowing my appetites to lead me when making arbitrary choices rather than ceremonious dedication.

Maybe I'm too far-out there, but what do we really know about the NSA's quantum computing abilities?

Given their budget and their ability to keep things under wraps (eg: consider the scope of PRISM and how they ran that for close to a decade), is it that crazy to think this is a debate they don't care about winning?

Teams at universities made 16 qbit machines something like 5 years ago. D-wave claims 512 qubits today. I don't think it's out of the question that NSA is far ahead of both of them. D-wave employs "100+ people" according to Wikipedia. NSA is estimated to have upwards of 30,000.

It makes a lot of sense, then. NSA got caught with their pants down, naturally backlash from it is still happening today. So if your opponents are going to be winning some ground back, the best PR move is to have them win ground that doesn't matter. (Or that won't matter in a couple years.)

I think these debates about the necessity of key escrow and modified firmware are conversations they're having with the intention of losing, to prevent meaningful pushback but to still provide the illusion of it.

It just doesn't make sense to me that they would invest billions into dragnet infrastructure with the knowledge that something as inevitable as letsencrypt or an iPhone passcode could make it all useless.

Edit: wording and some additional comments
Frigging 2016. The hecatomb year.
By what metrics? Job availability, for one. Can you provide an example of another profession where someone with 2-3 years of experience can quit their high-paying job and have recruiters calling the same day to entice them to a new one?

Education requirement, for another. Your examples all require advanced degrees from prestigious schools, multiple years of low wage grunt work, and/or a proven track record before hitting the high salary mark you seem to think is the default. Meanwhile, 22 year olds graduating from college with a CS degree and zero years of experience are getting six figure offers.

Work environment, for a third. Think you can be a doctor and work from home when you feel like it, or have Nerf wars with your coworkers after grabbing a beer from the office-provided kegerator?

SF and SV engineers are spoiled. Spoiled by market conditions that have combined to make right now an unprecedented good time for people who like writing code. Meanwhile, the other 98ish percent of Americans continue to get a poor deal. That's no one's fault, it's just the way economics has gone over the last few years. But it's no surprise that a large number of people want engineers to have to work with the same conditions as everyone else. I mean, can you really say with a straight face that someone writing yet another version of Tinder or whatever is providing more "value", as you put it, than a teacher?
ha, thats funny. I read it was twitter.com and assumed the tweet would not say more than what was in the title and jumped right here to the comments.

Which likely means it contains no useful information there. But the FBI wants to use the case to give it one more go at pushing for backdoors.

The fact that Apple wanted to keep this private, but the FBI wanted it to be public (which they almost never do in cases where it's about revealing how they hacked into something), just confirms that to me:

> It just doesn't make sense to me that they would invest billions into dragnet infrastructure with the knowledge that something as inevitable as letsencrypt would make it all useless.

Never underestimate the stupidity of massive bureaucracies.
Almost all legal experts who don't work for the FBI who have expressed an option this disagree with you.
We know that it isn't anymore advanced than everyone else's. How do you think they figure out most if not all of the quantum breakthroughs? By either stealing the information or reading the public papers themselves like all the other scientists.

I think Google will be the first to have a small useful (but not crypto-breaking) quantum computer by 2020. D-WAVE can't break encryption.
It depends on the department. I small town America the police are under more pressure to act as revenue generators.
The last point is moot. It's extremely straightforward to get a dump of all messages, media, pictures, if you get in.
So why do you think Apple is adopting the strategy that they have chosen? Your line of reasoning is quite straightforward. Do you think nobody there has considered it?
