> The problem with a utility is you have to pay for usage. The majority of the internet has shown they aren't willing to pay $.02 for an account.

I think users would be more willing to pay if it were easier to pay. You have to break out your credit card to pay for software. Then you have to enter your number, your billing information, etc. It's a question of how badly you want it.

If there were a service like Amazon's 'buy with 1-click' that could be integrated with any website, it could help monetize more sites.
I have a credit card that needs to be paid off in full every month. Zero-interest 1-month loans are very handy to iron out any behavior or income fluctuations.
I worked for a company about 18 months ago and the CEO sent an email to everyone "prohibiting" selling your shares on the secondary market because he was worried about a hostile takeover.

None of this made sense to me. You're going to restrict your early employees from making money? No one owns more than .5% so why would one be worried at all? To me it just seemed like another example of a CEO believing their employees are second class citizens and that they don't deserve any money until the CEO is RICH.
You can try Stripe.
The prices of 1) and 2) are at historic highs though. Even if the interest rate is low you still have a lot of debt to pay off.
The TIOBE index is Delphi's best showing. Object Pascal recently got a (sensible) boost in how its TIOBE rating is calculated: http://chapmanworld.com/2016/02/09/delphi-jumps-to-10th-plac...

I haven't seen Delphi feature in the top ten in any other language index so the TIOBE ranking seems to be an outlier, which is a shame because Object Pascal is a nice language.
It's not hard to encrypt the messages if you use an existing, secure library to do the work.

What's hard is making it impossible for someone other than the intended recipient to decrypt the message. How do you get the key to the recipient? Using something like a secure chat? Oops, that's what you're trying to create.

Maybe DH key exchange? [1] It's not rocket science to implement, but mistakes are possible. Also, unless you're sure that you're talking directly to the person you think you are, a MITM could be performing the key exchange with each end, and again you have someone overhearing you. So in addition to a proper DH implementation you need some way for the people to verify that the tokens exchanged match.

tl;dr: Yes, it's really that hard.

Its a false choice without a conpelling alternative. Like saying, anyone upset with the status quo should vote. I was joking a bit, but I also wasn't.

Google has end to emd control over some users internet experience, and much of it in other cases. They own:

* 100s of thousands of servers

* domain registrar

* ~50% of web browsers in US.

* code CDN, FontService

* define web standards

* hundreds of millions of emails.

* CA implementation

* ISP infrastructure

* Develop software for a large part of thr mobile ecosystem.

* decide what you see when you go to search (most search copy google, buy results, or both)

* also many of the web beacons and advert targeting.

* oh, and the largest collection of video and images in the world.

So when you say, just do what they say or get deindexed, and you present it as if that is reasonable(not just you but the collective you) I just think I must be insane.

I mean, assuming google is good (i fo mostly) doesn't mean I would let them become the entire internet.

Real question, if google were to disappear vs. the "too big to fail banks" that would have gone under, where a case could be madr for a few certainly failing, what would have bigger impact today?

Tl;dr everyone cares about single point if failure except at the macro system level: finance, banking, healthcare, etc
Google doesn't forbid or de-index paywalls. What they forbid is cloaking (showing Google different content than what users will see). This is, of course, quite critical to maintaining search quality.

WSJ is free to institute a full paywall and only serve snippets to Google. They might now like what it does to their rankings though.

What they cannot do is continue to sniff the UA before deciding to put up the paywall. (Though I'm still able to use the Google trick, so it seems the experiment might have ended.)
Not being flippant here, at all...I think what you're referencing has been with humans forever...

Older generations doubt the ability of the young to "get things right"...to keep the society they are familiar with on track...

Younger generations, with fresh eyes, wonder how older generations let things "go so wrong"...with an eye toward improving the society they've inherited...

An excellent book, Lila: An Inquiry Into Morals, by Robert Pirsig, explores this and other phenomena in great depth...

It's a semi-sequel to Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance...

I recommend it...
Google doesn't demand anything. If your paywalled website is not accessible by Google's crawler, then Google will not index it. Publishers want Google to index their pages and drive potential paying visitors, which is why they open the loophole themselves.

For the second point, Google does require that publishers specify "registration required" in their sitemap.
It's a little much to present an untestable hypothesis as 'in fact...'.
Let's say the FBI wins the first case.

Then they request a warrant that requires future iOS versions to permit similar access.

By what argument would Apple fight that warrant? The previous case would have already established that such access is necessary, that Apple can provide it, and that the court has the legal power to force them to.

In terms of the burden on Apple, the staff time burden to write software that will run on 50 million iPhones is no greater than software that will run on one iPhone. Code is code.

In terms of damage to the Apple brand, the FBI has already argued that that should not matter:

> Assuming this updates the loader

It doesn't. The model I presented presumes that it is unchangeable.

> anyone with physical access for five minutes can permanently brick the phone, without opening it

Pick one:

- you can always get your phone working, even if you forget your key & only you can apply updates to any software on the phone. Anyone can replace the loader (but this wipes all other data).

- you can always get your phone working, even if you forget your key & only a third party can provide new versions of the loader.

- if you forget your key, your phone is permanently bricked.

> Also, how can loader A modify itself?

It can't.

In general though, it's fairly straight forward to have code copy itself into ram & run from there while overwriting it's source. The problem is that opens the potential to brick the phone (just like any method that allows updating the loader).

To avoid bricking in all cases, one _must_ assume that there is some un-replaceable software (or hardware mechanism to start software).

I'm pretty sure it wasn't the "doctors get to be gatekeepers" problem that held back Theranos here. Rather, it was the "they don't have an actual working finger-prick test and have avoided numerous cheap ways to prove they have one" problem.

In contrast, 23andme can legitimately claim to have been held up in that respect. They did have a working product, which correctly identified the patient's genes, and correctly reported the state of the literature on each gene; no one claimed otherwise. It's just that the combination of those two services counts as a medical device under current law, and they didn't get regulatory approval first.

You are correct, Google requires that you let users see the first click for free if you want to index content behind a paywall. [1]

Since this is billed as an "experiment" I'm guessing that WSJ is just testing the waters. If they roll it out to everyone, they will have to serve only snippets to Google or risk getting delisted.

They're really not. They need Google a lot more than Google needs them.

One of these things is going to happen:

(1) They end this "experiment."

(2) They stop serving Google the full content. (And see their rankings drop accordingly.)

(3) They get delisted for cloaking.

> "You're conflating being able to handle and enjoy some chaos with the inability to tolerate a few moments of peace."

The suggestion was that you suffer even when your mind is engaged in something where this suffering was not apparent. In other words, even when you don't feel like you're suffering, you probably are. I disagreed with this by pointing out that even though meditation has its merits, there are other ways to enjoy your life, and therefore this assumption that you're 'probably suffering' is somewhat of a stretch.
San Bernardino iPhone Password Changed While in US Government Possession
That's because marc.info doesn't supply a Content-Type header (or equivalent <meta> tag) to specify encoding, so the browser must assume it's using some 8-bit one. On most computers in Western Europe, the US and so on, it'll assume Windows-1252.

You have to explicitly specify you want UTF-8 to get it. This would seem to be strange since it's The Encoding now, but assuming 8-bit is necessary for backwards-compatibility, I'm guessing.
Here are some Paypal alternatives:

I don't know if they let you receive payments without a bank account or credit card.

In the USA the Patriot Act requires bank account verification for online payments to prevent terrorists from using services. Since Paypal and other companies are in the USA they have to follow US law. Even if you are in Brazil.

You might have to have someone write you a check and use that to create a bank account for use with Paypal.

Even if they pay to a Bitcoin address, how can you withdraw money without using a bank account?

> 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.

This goes FAR beyond that. This is coercing a company to do something beyond simply turning over information.
There is a big difference in turning over something which already exists and compelling a company to perform work to create something which does not yet exist.

Picture this if served to a small company. Even if the company was compensated for the work, what happens if it takes all of the company resources over 3 months? Will the government compensate for lost clients? Will the government compensate for lost opportunities?

This kind of government demand is much more like quartering troops (government compulsion to perform an action), and we know full well what the Founding Fathers thought of that.
I was bothered as I was writing my comment by an issue related to this one. A curve covering a horizontal/vertical 3x3 grid of points cannot be a polynomial, as, if it is interpreted as a function, it has the range {true,false}, but some other domain, probably ℝ^2. The result I mention should be applicable to a set of points which can be represented as a function from ℝ to ℝ; no curve covering two different points which are vertically aligned can be represented that way (well, you could transpose the axes, but for a 3x3 grid that won't work either).

I do have some questions, because I don't fully understand what you're saying:

Suppose the 9 points are {-1,0,1} × {-1,0,1}. The horizontal line equations are y = -1, y = 0, and y = 1. If I multiply those together, I get y^3 = 0, which is a single horizontal line. I feel I must have done something wrong there.

If I instead do (y + 1)(y - 0)(y - 1) = 0 I get y^3 - y = 0, which at least has y = -1, y = 0, and y = 1 as solutions. Since a cubic equation can't have four roots, this graph consists exactly of three horizontal lines. It's not a polynomial, since it has the " = 0" constraint embedded. (Using the definition on wikipedia, "[i]n mathematics, a polynomial is an expression consisting of variables (or indeterminates) and coefficients, that involves only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative integer exponents".) Is this what you meant?

I know I've seen a diagram of exactly the example you're talking about somewhere, as something in the spirit of "math fun facts". But I can't find it; do you know of a writeup you could point me toward?

I'm always afraid someone is going to ask "describe a time when you had a conflict with a coworker and how you resolved it", because the answer is usually something like "that didn't really happen much" or "I stoically did their work for them and try to avoid tasks that involve dealing with them again."
Most IT operations people within corporate networks use ips instead of names. And unix admins only trust ips in their host firewalls. So many things rely on the ip address that people get to know that 10.1.0.0 is headquarters and 10.1.3.0 is marketing and 10.4.0.0 is Seattle .. etc etc.

I'm not saying that is a good thing or not, I'm just saying it IS.

It would be a pain to use ipv6 internally.
Got a source for #2?

Funnily enough, I was just reading an article from the journal SYSTEM (Sciencedirect/Elsevier) yesterday. Very prestigious journal in my field, but it was littered with typos and mistakes - I figured surely it couldn't be the work of the two authors.
Sheesh. Best i recall, they chose this pattern because it matched the notation used for MAC addresses. And a IPv6 network can in essence self-assemble by using said MAC as a basis for the IPv6 address.

Edit:

BTW, don't most home routers etc take a hostname and add it to a .local DNS domain stored on the router?

The rules for bumping to 1.0.0 are based on hindsight ("probably already be 1.0.0"), exogenous factors ("users") and human emotion ("worrying a lot").

It would be impossible for a computer to correctly bump a piece of software to 1.0.0, and humans mostly get it wrong too.
Well, to go further down your line of thought, reading Dante in any other language than Italian does not do it justice. Therefore anybody who has read a translation of 1984, for example, hasn't really read 1984, and thus could not possibly have really grasped it.
Sadly, it's a lot easier to have my router always always assign my NAS 192.168.0.2 than it is to configure DNS
With IPv4, if DNS isn't working, it is very useful to be able to enter an IP address directly to check if the problem is with DNS or with the network.

(But then again, that is no reason not to adopt IPv6! Some things are going to get harder, but so many, many things are going to get easier that it is easily worth the tradeoff.)

"Last but not least, nearly all graphical terminals refuse to highlight IPv6 addresses with a simple double-click. This issue might not have existed in the mid-late 1990s"

Hey, thanks for the thoughtful comment! Here are some quick answers to your questions:

- Routing to 3rd party services: on the roadmap!

- Circuit breaking: Finagle has some very sophisticated mechanisms for this (see http://twitter.github.io/finagle/guide/Clients.html#circuit-...). The current release of linkerd doesn't really expose a lot of that in the config file, but that's also a subject of future work.

- JVM cost: yup, this is definitely something we are aware of. Fortunately, the JVM is a pretty tunable beast, and like HAProxy, there's a relationship between concurrency and memory supported. In our experiments, we can get healthy performance <(1ms p99) for low concurrency setups in ~120mb. Higher concurrency, of course, requires more memory.

Hope that's helpful. Feel free to email us or to hop into our Slack at any point, of course!
