Europe has a parliament that is elected by the people of Europe, including (as of now) the people of Britain. Without the approval of the EU parliament TTIP cannot become law.

Also, the EU Commission (that is the administrative body that you call the EU's bureaucracy) cannot take office or stay in office without the approval of the European parliament. The European parliament has kicked out a commission before so they are by no means a paper tiger.

The commission can do very little on its own other than managing things according to existing rules. Without the parliament and the European council (which comprises representatives of national governments), no substantive new regulations can be passed.

So yes you can vote them all out and no, the "EU's bureaucracy" cannot enter into such an agreement all by itself.
That's true, but I think that's what a lot of people think it is.

I'm also a software dev. I wouldn't say, when designing code, that "I make the code look nice" though, I'd hope that's at least part of it.

However... when someone is looking for a "designer," while it does include UI/UX (again, whatever that is ;) ) I've found they strictly only want someone who is good at making pretty things in Photoshop.
How can you ask a question like this? Define "so strong" in this context? It's similar to asking "do you need so free speech". We're not talking about anything special here beyond a standard expectation of reasonable security. The fact that apple is trying to make it "so secure even they can't hack it" is just a means for them to protect themselves that happens to align with the interests of the user.
While the government can actively access and track most of your life, the one thing they can't track is whether or not you own a gun. Attempts to create a national gun registry are routinely attacked by the same politicians who want access to your phone.
As a Mailgun customer, I can unfortunately confirm this. A lot of our clients are having problems getting mails delivered in hotmail mailboxes. This started some weeks ago, and we haven't seen any improvement since. It is getting to a point that we're working on migrating to something else right now.
>Is there any reason Apple can't use more than one argument in its defense?

No.
Six things all managers should know about leadership

Definition of design: a plan or drawing produced to show the look and function or workings of a building, garment, or other object before it is built or made.

So, I guess "web designer" is very similar to "make it in Photoshop" and I should stop complaining ;)
I bet that product is more expensive than we think. They can only afford to offer this as a feature of their enterprise product. But as a standalone offering I'm guessing it would cost more ($300-500?) than most people would be willing to pay for registration. Just speculating.

Apple is required to have backdoors, at least on iPhones sold in foreign countries, isn't it?

I don't believe this is the case.

Even if the SE were completely secure, a rogue update of iOS could intercept the fingerprint or passcode whenever it is typed, and replay it to unlock the SE when spies ask for it. As far as I know, the on-screen keyboard is controlled by software which isn't in the SE.

What you say about an on-screen passcode is likely true but the architecture of the secure enclave is such that the touch ID sensor is communicating over an encrypted serial bus directly with the SE and not iOS itself. It assumes that the iOS image is not trustworthy.

From the white paper [1]:

It provides all cryptographic operations for Data Protection key management and maintains the integrity of Data Protection even if the kernel has been compromised.

...

The Secure Enclave is responsible for processing fingerprint data from the Touch ID sensor, determining if there is a match against registered fingerprints, and then enabling access or purchases on behalf of the user. Communication between the processor and the Touch ID sensor takes place over a serial peripheral interface
bus. The processor forwards the data to the Secure Enclave but cannot read it. It’s encrypted and authenticated with a session key that is negotiated using the device’s shared key that is provisioned for the Touch ID sensor and the Secure Enclave. The session key exchange uses AES key wrapping with both sides providing a random key that establishes the session key and uses AES-CCM transport encryption.

Not so, you certainly don't need to eat sugar, too much sugar is poisonous and if usage is prolonged, causes insulin resistance and Type 2 diabeties. Starches are not much better, since they are so easily converted to sugars.

Most high energy usage organs inc the brain are quite happy burning ketone bodies - made from fat, in fact the heart prefers them.
A few brain and organ functions do require some glucose, but these can be made from protein, better though to eat some healthy carbs such as spinach, for this.
Most Type 2 diabetes sufferers can be cured by a strict low carb high fat diet.
Healthiest fats are saturated grass fed cow's butter and lard, coconut oil or mono saturated olive oil - contrary to most people's belief.
Unsaturated vegetable oils are very dangerous they are unstable and easily become poisonous, margarine is evil.
I got FTTC at home last year, and it was great to go from 1Mbps and unreliable to 20Mbps and reliable. Many people nearby are still stuck at the old speeds.

By the way - the openreach site you mention was totally misleading in my area - it said that 'superfast' was available when in fact it was not (it also gave rollout-time estimates that were wrong by years). Any naive regulator or reporter using their data would be given a falsely rosy view of broadband rollout.

Congrats to everyone at CloudFlare who made this happen!

Is there a list of TLDs which are supported somewhere? When I last looked (years ago), only Verisign provided registry locking and the other registries weren't showing any signs of coming out with similar products.
So what you're advocating is that instead of creating an ext4/zfs/xfs file system on each drive, have a sort of distributed filesystem that has raw access to each drive. And the i-node of the distributed filesystem could be always-available on RAM with SSD backing. My guess is, Google probably already does this.

Wow - how do we even classify this - it's clearly not just a story. Is it a case study? Series? It feels like it's almost book length - sort of thing we'll be readying for days (if not weeks).

Has NYT ever done an article in this format before?

The "Blind Hiring" section starts off great:

A few years ago, Kedar Iyer, an entrepreneur in Silicon Valley, became acutely aware of a problem in his industry: A surfeit of talented coders were routinely overlooked by employers because they lacked elite pedigrees. Hiring managers, he thought, were too often swayed by the name of a fancy college on a résumé.
The FBI would like to disagree with you on that. Why do you think they're trying to hack the iPhone? (Or at least, their claimed motive.)
One thing to keep in mind is that HN is very focused on startups and Silicon Valley where salaries are very inflated. In Atlanta, a good average starting salary for a junior dev would be 50-70k.

I have 2-3 years experience on the platform I work on and I'm expecting to find my next job soon somewhere between 80-100k.

take a look at the data format of your database instead of the program you are using, it's much less confusing.

keeWeb supports the newer .kdbx format that keepass2 introduced and keepassX can convert to from the older .kdb format. so... yes, it will work.
I don't know about the U.S. but here in Turkey we used to (4-5 years ago) refer to the portable computers as "Notebooks". Nowadays most people call it "dizüstü bilgisayar" which directly translates to laptop computer.

Your comment made me think about that. Wonder how the usage in daily language changed... Maybe because notebook was English. Not sure.
The suicide rate in the US is twice that of the UK - take from that what you will, but brits are as a whole a pretty depressed bunch, and I dare say gun availability is a factor in suicide prevalence - the professions with the highest rates of suicide tend to be those that easily provide the tools to definitely painlessly kill yourself - doctors, dentists, veterinarians, farmers.

I'm hypothesising, but I honestly think reducing availability of firearms would cause more people to not be able to kill themselves with facility, and therefore more likely to have the time to reconsider or seek help.
According to their FAQ[1], maybe. They test integration with KeePass, but it should work as long as you're using the .kdbx database format (KeePass v2.)

The alternative would be for Google to take end-to-end encryption seriously, even for their databases, so even they can't access most of the information gathered from the users.

I'm not sure about "big", it all depends on how much you trust 1password and what your threat model is. For me, the advantage of keepass is that I don't need to upload my credentials anywhere, or trust some closed source blob running in the browser, etc. It has a XML format that enables things like this client to be created.

1password has the advantage of excellent platform integration on iOS, and various browser extensions with auto-fill.

I'll keep saying it: HN should have a short abstract (aka tl;dr) attached to each article, written and updated by user submission like comments. Maybe minimal GitHub-like version control with pull requests accepted by vote.

The abstract would be more valuable than comments, so accepted modifications could get extra karma.

Definitely a regional thing. In Germany both terms appear as loanwords (I don't think there is a "real" German word for it) and they're used interchangeably.

One of the two was a trademark leading to the other one being pushed as an alternative. But I can't even remember which one -- at this point I couldn't even tell you which phrase is more widely used.

EDIT: IIRC at some point "Notebook" was used to refer to laptops that were smaller and/or lighter than the regular (rather heavy and bulky) laptops at the time. There's also a major online discounter called notebooksbilliger.de (literally "cheaper notebooks"). In day to day language I would err towards "Laptop" being the more widespread term but not by much.

The author needs to get his head out of his ass, or at least move it a little in that direction.

As others have said, if reducing overall violence is the goal then rifles shouldn't be a major focus, reducing handgun ownership among people who engage in crime as a large part or all of their income should be a focus.

Extremists and lunatics with rifles have nothing on organized crime in terms of overall body count (which is allegedly what everyone wants to reduce).
If code is speech, does this mean anyone can write code to perform any kind of task (nefarious or otherwise) and be protected by the First Amendment? It seems difficult to parse that someone could write some code that for example, to break someone's pacemaker or life support machine and that person would be protected by free speech.

Maybe in that scenario, it would be the author who writes that code who would be protected but the person who executes the deadly code who is breaking the law?
> A democracy where the demos aren't allowed to read the treaties before they are ratified, what a ridiculous perversion of a notion that is.

That would be ridiculous, but TTIP will be published when people agree on what it should be, then it'll be voted on. See here: http://ec.europa.eu/trade/policy/in-focus/ttip/about-ttip/pr...

When you think "X is ridiculous" consider that maybe X is not actually true.
General, unbreakable crypto security applied to all contents is a feature that very few people ever needed or even tried to achieve.

Until a few years ago you were perfectly content with keeping an agenda in your pocket and pictures in your living room's drawer. A minimum of privacy is of course needed and welcome; however, unless you're planning a major terror attack, or strategic war plans, or you have incredibly valuable industrial secrets (all cases in which you'll probably be using specialized SW to keep your information) you don't really need incredibly advanced security simply because nobody is going to spend vast amounts of time and resources to uncover your little secrets. The GP is talking about switching phone (spending money) to obtain a level of security that he won't need in a million years.

Julius [1] is a pretty good offline speech recognition engine. In my tests it seems to have about 95% accuracy in grammar-based models, and it supports continuous dictation. There is also a decent Python module which supports Python 2, and Python 3 with a few tweaks.

HOWEVER:

The only continuous dictation models available for Julius are Japanese, as it is a Japanese project. This is mainly an issue of training data. The VoxForge models are working towards releasing one for English once they get 140 hours of training data (last time I checked they were around 130); but even so the quality is likely to be far less than commercial speech recognition products, which generally have thousands of hours of training.

Two things come to mind. First an equivalent of the secure enclave. Second a single company that is willing to go this far to protect its users. For Samsung this is complicated because both Google and Samsung are involved, and Samsung is not a US company so I'd expect them to cave in under pressure from the US govt more easily.

Edit: a Nexus device bought directly from Google with the right hw may address both points.

"Foundation of the western world government" would be more accurate.

I moved away from london, I'm lucky that I don't have family there or an emotional attachment to the city itself.

I feel bad for the others, I made an above average wage and chomped over 60% of my salary in rent (+20% in bills and taxes), even if I could have afforded to buy when moving there initially, the rate of incline was so great that after 1 year I was completely unable to buy a studio apartment.

Crazy.

There are even anecdotes about how "my home earns more than I do". :|
Just to make one thing clear: Before the treaty comes into force it needs to be voted on by the Euroepan parliament and national parliaments. Before the votes the treaty will be published. What is a highly guarded secret are the current drafts, not the final agreement.

It's actually not really different from how most laws are written, especially those proposed by the government. While those are in the drafting phase MPs usally don't have access at all.

FTTC varies -- I've had it in one location where it was 10/1, and in another at 240/24. Overall experience, when they were working is fine. The Sky/Eircom was slow, but latency was low, the UPC/VirginMedia has dropped packet issues, especially with dns queries. It's also a little odd that the bottleneck is actually the in-house wifi most of the time.
FTTC provides a decent connection speed ("up to" 76Mbps according to BT) but my main gripe with it is that I have to continue with the archaic process of "renting" the copper telephone line between the exchange and my house - for a sum almost the same as the broadband itself. Openreach have clung onto this cash cow by opting for FTTC over FTTP, forcing customers to rent a telephone line they don't want
Not all speech is protected:

Holmes's famous phrase means that not all forms of speech are protected. For example, the First Amendment does not protect obscenity, child pornography, true threats, fighting words, incitement to imminent lawless action, criminal solicitation or defamation.[1]

It's largely irrelevant that 21CN runs IPv4 as it's implemented as MPLS VPN switching network. What the customer (i.e an ISP) gets presented with is basically an L2 ethernet connection, over which they can run whatever protocol they want, including IPv6. There are competent ISPs available that will utilise OpenReach and that do offer IPv6. BT Retail is not one of these.

The real issues with 21CN are that many parts of the edge network have multiple SPOFs (so a single failure can result in multi-hour or longer downtime for customers served by multiple ISPs that connected to an exchange) as well as insufficient bandwidth provisioned for those links in some areas. Another issue, is that backhaul from exchanges is metered at a fairly expensive rate.
> If code is speech, does this mean anyone can write code to perform any kind of task (nefarious or otherwise) and be protected by the First Amendment?

Not a lawyer, but I don't think so. You can't just say anything you want, either (yelling "fire!" in a crowded room, slander, inciting violence, etc).
