Oh I understand. What I skipped explicitly writing there is, if he writes an abstraction, and defends it well then give him 10 points, if he can't defend, give him 5 points. If he doesn't write an abstraction and defends it well, then give it 10 points, if not then 0....you get the jist.

If the contents are none of Apple's business, why did Apple give themselves (via their signing keys) a backdoor that allows them to replace the firmware out from under the owner of an ostensibly locked device?

If Apple couldn't do an end-run on the key derivation protection mechanisms, then they couldn't use that backdoor to aid the FBI.

"Can't do it" is a strong defense.

"Won't do it" isn't.

What's the hit rate for extracting meaningful information? Any false positives?
True -

You have outlined the options, but added a half a dose of pessimism.

L1 - you do NOT need to be a "Rockstar" or anything close. You need to be persistent and producing code (Github). It can be average code, but many just want to see that you produce.

H1B -- This is kind of true. It's more true if you are only interested in the Bay area.

I would suggest you try to find a large company to sponsor you in a less than perfect location in the US. Getting to the Bay area as from another US city with a year of demonstrated ability it much, much easier.

Keep trying! You will get it!

Hope that helps.

2015 new construction was huge, the biggest since the late eighties/early nineties, and construction for the next couple years, based on filings, looks like it's going to continue that way. So it's likely that apartment prices will continue fall or hold still.

I actually deleted a rant that completely says what you just said. I 100% agree. It's mind boggling how much intuition is available to explain maths. It oddly just... makes visual sense. It's "simply" an explanation of what's around us.

Yet, when discussing it, <i>while learning</i> with math folk, it's usually met with "You don't have a degree" or "That's not a formal understanding of the definition, come back". It's completely exclusionary and killed much of my math passion until recently.

Next time, take it to a third-party repair shop. (Check reviews and ratings before you go to one!) Usually, they can bend the frame out. Should save you a lot of money over a replacement from Apple. (Note: I co-own a repair shop and we do this often for customers. We've had customers bring phones in that are almost a V shape and we've been able to bring them back to life.)

The products were already useful, there just wasn't a viable enough market for them. It's hard to know that this is a problem when you have 5% growth for a few months and think you've gotten something that works only to see it slowly trickle to flat growth over time that may end up paying your bills in 10 years from now.

If you are able to have growth before getting into YC you will be better off than depending on YC to jump start your growth. Do you not think that lots of people are signing up to YC to get that jump start in growth?

Isn't that the purpose of a court order? They compel you to answer the court's questions. In this particular case, the device owner, the agency which issued the phone, has granted permission.

It's imaginable that apple could manufacture multiple kinds of devices. Those for personal use and which cannot be compromised via any keys whatsoever, and commercial/enterprise versions which can be centrally managed.

My take is one of the big markets, the US, China, India or EU will tell Apple they either offer the option or they forgo the market.

Governments with large economies will compel manufacturers to provide this option, despite what the company or privacy advocates, privacy minded users would prefer.
Before we start admiring things, let's see what happens on Super Tuesday (12 days away).

Nothing of what Sanders is doing is going to survive past a left primary. Absolutely nothing he is promising can be done without Congress.

Wrong comparison.

That's like wanting to be manager when you have only worked at a company for a couple years.

Come on now.

If Sanders ideas can work so well, why don't all these eager people first implement them at a local level where they have more immediate power? Nope, they want to go directly to the executive because it is a figurehead.

Sanders comes from a 96% WHITE state - they are ridiculously homogeneous and are nothing like the rest of the United States. Only Maine is whiter. Why is his state like that in the 21st century? Why does everyone else feel unwelcome to live there?

Sanders will never attract the 3-4% of undecided voters and we will end up with Trump picking the next few supreme court judges.

Why are you okay with losing the presidency for the next eight years based on theoretical ideas that are not proven to work anywhere and won't get voted for by the masses?
Well ok, but at least the programs are few hundred lines long. I'm just saying I know that printf("hello world") will halt, and that's a good thing.
I'm not sure how you would enforce that, It boils down to free speech really.
I was married 15 years total.. the final nail was probably in the 10th year, I would say. In truth, having 'no idea' is wrong.. it's just that I had the wrong idea;).
It's a tool that could work. You can use zfs send/receive to clone a zfs filesystem or snapshot.

You could also use rsync, duplicity, or a bunch of other tools.

The major zfs advantage here is that all your files get integrity checking.
Fun fact: you can hack this right now by dragging and dropping a file (ie. image) into the issues submission box and then using that URL in your code to display images.
We do something similar : when nginx doesn't find the file for a given format (width and height are in the url), it's a 404 and we use the 404 handler to proxy to a php app that does the resize/crop (and we have a list of the formats we use more often in the app so we store the generated thumb on the disk), the resize/crop operation is centered around coordinates that we determine with opencv (it detects faces and/or focus points) when the user uploads the picture.

We use varnish in front of nginx

Well without some sort of caching, his site very well could fall over when being on the front page of something like HN.

The FBI can subpoena/nsl/all-writs-act the necessary signing key, if necessary. That would probably be easier than ordering Apple to write a new (miss-)feature, as this would only be turning over existing data, similar to a subpoena for common business records or the footage from a surveillance-camera.
Well as it's based on git, before you just had to push it via the command line.
Sorry guys. Downvote away, but the original commenter made a call on how "MOST" homeless people are homeless because of 'X'. I merely want to point out that in no way is his anecdotal experience relevant to the conversation on how to solve the problem.

I'm simply embarrassed by my techie cohorts, who think they just KNOW why homeless people are homeless. The bottomline is that there are far more qualified people (homeless activists/workers) who have told me otherwise and the average HN'er will have to provide data to convince me otherwise.
The part cost wholesale (ordering 100+ of them at a time) is $74-$78 currently for a high quality LCD+digitizer for an iPhone 6.

Note that Apple doesn't sell parts directly, and any third-party repair store that says differently is lying to you. There are, however, plenty of high-quality replacement parts available from other distributors.

The point is that neither of them are good. Nulls should be expected in json objects, so why write the parsing inside a conditional that will fail when one is encountered?
That's a good assurance that would probably estop a Linux copyright holder from later claiming that a binary using only the system call interface is an infringing derivative work.

It doesn't have the power to define a binary module using an internal interface as a derivative work; that can only be done by a court interpreting copyright law in a particular jurisdiction. In the United States, different Federal Circuit courts have different views of what constitutes a derivative work in software.
I am curious to know what you mean by Incremental DOM updates.

Are you talking about changing values of DOM elements,etc.

Or are you talking about destroying elements in DOM and creating new ones ?
Which is actually why you shouldn't invest based on this algorithm if you care about the research. I think, ideally, you should:

1) Generate a few hypothesis algorithms, including one that invests at random.

2) Publish a cryptographic commitment for each algorithm.

3) Never actually invest any money. Alternatively: let someone else invest your money for you, without knowledge of your hypotheses.

4) Run your algorithms privately, without updating them at all. Capture the data the algorithms use (including random choices taken).

5) 5, 10 or 20 years later, publish all your algorithms, the data they had as input and their results, see if any of them would have predicted the actual performance of the market in an statistically meaningful way.

I imagine the main reason most researchers are unlikely to do that is the 5-20 years project requirement. It is a lot easier and faster to just take historical data from the market and then produce algorithms that would have predicted performance after year X, based on information before year X. Of course, the problem is that you run into over-fitting and survivor bias (in that only positive results are generally published).

Btw, having your algorithm be run by a fund and having that fund succeed, then publishing the algorithm, would also be susceptible to survivor bias.
That's only true with respect to a given locus of points on the ground, not the full surface. I.E., the relative velocity of the SV isn't the same for all points that may be measuring.

In practice the GR effect is compensated by the satellite at manufacturing, the SR effect is treated in the receiver - for just that reason.
> 2) Life pro tip on understanding other people (this is a quick reinforcement of a bunch of points in the article): if someone is behaving irrationally, 99% of the time its because they are subconciously insecure about something.

How about the possibility that they are tired of their partner? The irrationality might come from the fact that they are bound to them (e.g. marriage) and feel pressure to not break that apart. That'd be quite an internal conflict, and might produce irrational behavior.

If this is a possible explanation (I've seen it many times at least), do you really think it's an only 1% of the time cause? I think that's being unrealistically optimistic. Because then your narrative sounds very convenient and comforting: "Oh, I just have to help them get over their insecurities and it's happily ever after." Not to be a downer, but I think people need to be more realistic about these things so they have better odds of finding a partner with which they have a good dynamic.

(It's kind of like being stuck at a job you don't like, but you need the money. That's bad for both the employee and the business.)
>but at the end of the day they think they ought to have a better mate, and are fed up with their current one

I don't know if this is true across the board. I don't feel that way entirely, more along the lines of "I'm stuck in this situation; kids, a marriage where I get no real benefit, I just want to be free and do what I want and not have to bow to their whims."

I know several people, right now, that have been divorced for some time (5+ years, and in one case 10+ years) and don't even date or have interest in dating. Their motivations seem aligned more with mine than wanting a better mate - In fact, If I end up getting a divorce (we have agreed to try and work it out, again), I have no interest in dating again, at least not for a while.

FWIW, I'm 38, and the people I'm referencing are older than me, some as much as 12+ years older, so maybe it's an age thing.

Far be it for me to defend somebody else's words, but I happen to entirely agree with askafriend when he described the manual tinkering required to get HiDPI functioning well as "things that I don't want to deal with. It's all just bullshit, and I don't have time to deal with bullshit like that. I really just don't want to even think about stuff like that. Not even a tiny bit, not even for a second."

There are indeed a lot of Linux enthusiasts here, myself included, but being a Linux enthusiast doesn't mean we all want to act as systems integrator all the time.

I wouldn't be surprised if Apple Pay was the actual reason behind all this stuff.

Malware is bad, but malware which can "authorize" payments is a whole new level of bad and would cost Apple actual money. So they run Pay on a separate CPU whose communications with the fingerprint scanner are encrypted to prevent the main CPU (which relays those communications) from replaying user's fingerprint many times to "authorize" unwanted transactions. Hence the "pairing" of home button to the phone.
Ideas are powerful. What Sanders' rise (and to some extent, Trump's) symbolize political system whose representatives that are woefully out of touch with its constituents. I think congress and the Senate is next, we are going to see a huge shake up in each party from the top down. Don't be surprised if we start seeing more Sanders-like-citizens running for Congress. We live in interesting times.
+this. I've implemented a subset of this kind of pipeline before on AWS (image tagging + face identification) using the building blocks that existed last year (it was AlexNet at the time, with a pre-release version of MXNet, because Google hadn't released the trained inception model). Implementing this basic functionality at a basic working level, given the tools Google has released, isn't impossible.

Now, making it production-quality, efficient, scalable, and the rest -- well, y'know. That's why people use cloud-based services in the first place.

But I think there's less fundamental lock-in than you think. Cloudinary, for example, will let you upload an image and get a tag out. ABBYY and OmniPage/Nuance and others offer cloud-based OCR.

I'm biased - I'm at Google this year - so take this with a grain of salt, but while I have the feeling that Google can do it better and more affordably than a small team could do it on their own, I don't think that Google pulling the API would leave people up a creek without a paddle.

It isn't meant to be taken literally. But to be literal, in my previous sentence, "We all have homeless problems in our cities" implicitly means "not just the people in San Francisco, California." I go on not to say "We all get accosted," but rather "We get accosted..." which due to the context of the previous sentence, simply exemplifies some of the people and situations that we (that is, people other than you or the author) come into contact with in the various cities we live in.

You said yourself you've been lucky enough to live and work in particularly nice parts of town. That sort of makes your dispute moot, and I still ask, "so does that mean the issue doesn't exist?"
You'll have to excuse any naivety on my part, but is that for all devices or for <= 5C? I was under the impression that was not possible for the 6 and 6S because of the secure enclave, and that the device had to be unlocked for a firmware update to occur.
There is another side to this though: I am salary and I can work 6 hour days. My boss won't bat an eye. I can come and go when I want. I can take 2 hour lunches, whatever I want.

Obviously there's a limit, and this is highly dependent on where you work, but I love being salary vs being hourly.
How Game Theory Can Inform Product Creation and Management
Repairs are part of the Apple ecosystem, hence the whole "Genius Bar" thing. Apple wants to control the whole experience from purchase onwards. And let me tell you, they treat you very well. When I was under warranty they always tracked down my issue and even found things I didn't notice like my trackpad going bad. Apple does have licensed third party repairers. People also use unlicensed repairers and repair their own devices all the time such as with screens. The situation here was that unlicensed parts were a security risk and their factory tests were left in which bricked the devices. Now TouchID is just disabled.
And this is why ultimately I agree with the decision in Citizens United.

If my bill rate is $200 an hour, then it's possible to put a financial amount on any activity I do in support of a candidate. If they did that, then we would just get the usual brinksmanship (assuming a cap), and I might be "too wealthy" to contribute time to the candidate I support.

Contrarily, if I'm just as passionate about a candidate, and have more money than programming skills, I'm happy to contribute that instead.

It was a long road for me before I accepted the argument that money equals speech, but if actions are, then it isn't a big jump for me to suggest that the payment for my actions ought to be as well, and if I made a short film in support of a candidate, I can't see any way possible of doing that for free.

Why would ZFS be worse than ext4 or anything in this way if you don't have ECC?

Genuine question, I don't understand this claim. As far as I can see, ZFS provides protection against some types of failures on disk, which ext4 doesn't. ECC has no impact on that, it protects another dimension.
