If you've got an old cell phone you no longer use (but haven't thrown away / recycled), just tape it somewhere in the car and cover it with something so it's not obvious. Then connect it to your home wifi (assuming the car is parked closed to the house), and turn on a live streaming app like ustream / whatever. It'll burn through the phone battery pretty quick though, so you'll probably need to plug it in somehow.

Wouldn't do much for motion detection or night vision, but might be an easy way to get started.

Great effort. I'm not American, but the story of Ebeling (and others at Morton-Thiokol) is taught in engineering schools throughout the world.

You're very welcome. They make a few mistakes which they correct (on the forum and then ship with a subsequent kit), but they're otherwise totally awesome, just got my 7th kit.

Here's a prior HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9889777 and per my comment, they do indeed do a moderate amount of analog.
While I agree that closed-source privacy protection isn't trustable, and therefore isn't sufficient, that doesn't mean that Apple doesn't intend to protect APple customers.

There's a big difference between not going far enough and deliberate deception on this topic. There are also multiple stages to the battle for privacy, and most technology products and services are relatively far behind Apple in that progression.
As the sibling comment pointed out, you are most likely looking for audio compression ("dynamic range compression") instead of normalization.

I know many people want such a thing, though I wouldn't touch it myself (I like my music to have some dynamic range). But just FYI, there already exist music players that have compression plugins like rockbox and vlc, you might want to check them out.

One idea is it is a very thin gas permeating the entire galaxy. Because it does exchange photons it doesnt chemically clump together like regular matter and stays a diffuse gas concentrated only by gravity.
No, you're wrong about fines, imprisonment for contempt, etc.

That might be true for senior officials at Apple (Tim Cook, etc) but definitely not for rank and file employees. Any of them that are asked to implement GovOS (to use Apple's shorthand for the proposed software) could surely quit instead of doing the work.

To be honest, they wouldn't even have to quit. I'm sure there are plenty of people at Apple qualified to do the work. If some of them have moral issues I'm sure they can go work on other things. Apple will have no problem finding a few folks to comment out a few lines of code and recompile the OS.

You're basically repeating FUD spread by Apple and others to make the situation seem worse than it is. Normally this kind of FUD spreading is reviled by the hacker community.
"If our society has reached a point of guilt, where we can no longer acknowledge that all lives matter, and doing so is 'racist,' that means blacks (and allies) will have become the new de facto racist group."

This took a minute to sink in. Everyone should contemplate this statement for a minute. For me the phrase All Lives Matter seems very guiltless and brings feelings of unity, while Black Lives Matter brings feelings of division. Just seems like it is doing nothing to unite people on the cause... like a bad marketing campaign trying to guilt people into joining a cause.

This is analyzing the video feed in real-time to scrape info and stats that display on screen.

I understand what you're saying but there are also lots of instances where you simply cannot find something for sale anywhere and sometimes I simply don't mind flouting copyright rules if it's the only way to locate a copy.

Trust me, I've purchased plenty of used CDs or other formats on eBay or Amazon and will gladly do so again rather than bother with the hunt on Soulseek or other sources of unlicensed downloads. But in the end, as "entitled" as it may make me, I'd rather resort to copyright infringement than never find a copy of that (song/album/etc) from the tape or CD I lost in college that's just not available anymore.

Sometimes adding some friction to the deploy process can be good IMHO. Continual deployment isn't good for every product or every team.
Its technically in the "frontier" stage, which means that its in "beta" of sorts. There are lots of developers working on Ethereum dapps and it is more than useable, however consumers should be aware there may be loss-causing bugs around.

>In the Old Opera I can do every imaginable setting on per-site basis, and all built in, no overhead of extensions.

The overhead for running a few select extensions, compared to native code, would be minimal.

And if Opera implements its native extensions as a scripting API (lots of apps do), then zero.
My favorite was always Audiogalaxy but yeah, Soulseek really filled a niche before you could find a lot of stuff legally on Amazon or even eBay if it wasn't sold in stores.
I agree with you that there is no privacy protection one can rely against the highest level state actor threats without open tools for privacy.

BUT Apple appears to be effective at keeping the contents of smartphones out of the hands of police and prosecutors and out of the courts. If you can't distinguish between those levels of protection, you are allowing the perfect to be the enemy of the good.

It will be interesting to see how the court will determine if its one work or two separate works, and if they will look at other copyrighted media. There is already a rather established model for music video, where even if you have rights to distribute a particular song, you need additional rights to adapt the music to moving images. On the other side of the argument, there is cases that has addressed compatibility. There were for example gaming consoles that had unlicensed third-party modules that courts deemed to be non-infringing.

A key argument I was missing in the article here was the question about market impact. In every court case I have read that talked about derivative works, they always considered the impact that the claimed infringement has on the original work. Court seems to have a historical viewed that copyright is there to protect the authors, and thus leans towards decision that minimize harm. In the case of VMware, it would be interesting to see such arguments from both parties.

What are the costs like for building resource intensive apps on ethereum? Would be interested in comparing with centralized compute providers.
(2) is implied by (1) because once Apple has created the tool to do it once (1), the government has access to it and can (and will) use that tool endlessly (2). This is why Apple refuses to create this tool to unlock 1 iPhone.

History has shown we cannot restrict this by implementing laws/rules, just look at the news to see how these laws are abused right now, accessing all our private data.

EDIT: ok i get your point now;
I imagine the reason this 'technical backdoor' exists in the first place, is because Apple wants to be able to update that part of the OS in case of bugs.
If they make it 'not-updateable' the backdoor is closed but then if problems arise, bugs can't be fixed (for example the recent Error 5/home button bug).
> lock free queues

That may change. Lock free algorithms generate quite a lot of garbage [1] & the Go GC story is much better now than before.

> the language makes it very difficult to write libraries to support those use cases.

Not sure why you hold this view. Atomic op primitives are provided. Is the issue the syntactic white noise of using the unsafe mechanisms?

[1]: can't find the cite of Cliff Click addressing this point. Intuitively, consider that lock free algorithms trade space for time.
A fun fact that usually trips people up is that the southern most point in Canada[1] is actually as far south as the North end of California.

Isn't anyone else furious about this? The entire system was built in secret and without the consent of the American people, at huge expense, with little-to-no oversight (secret courts), and now is being expanded to share our data among every 'security' agency in the nation (again without our consent)?

It still blows my mind we've spend such huge sums of money on what is effectively a very iffy interpretation of the law, designed to violate civil rights on a mass scale. The other top story in the news is how another security agency is essentially trying to get easy access to people's private data (phones) whenever needed.
There's no law which would allow somebody to enforce such a thing. Citing somebody's work doesn't have a copyright effect.
These seem to be mostly about undecorated generators. 3. Is a legit difference but it is actually a syntax error to do yield 1 + yield 2. So that is fixable in a backward compatible way.
so does this mean ethereum's blockchain works exactly the same as bitcoin's but they are committed to people building apps on top of their blockchain? But theoretically the applications could be built on top of Bitcoin's blockchain but the community doesn't provide support for it ( for example no easy scripting language like this post details?)

This is not correct. It is correct to say that having found a cat that does not like milk, we know that cats do not necessarily like milk. That is valuable and relevant.

But nevertheless, we can still have some confidence that, absent other indicators, cats like milk.

p.s. Here’s another example closer to home of a “cat that did not like milk:” Roy Cohn, who carried out anti-homosexual witch hunts, and later died of AIDS.

> Even the clearest contract is worthless if one party is too weak to hold everyone to the contract's terms. "What, you want me to pay for the work you did for me? Come back with a lawyer and we'll talk."

Ethereum solves that: as part of the contract you put the money into escrow, such that if the work is completed the money is automatically delivered to the other guy.

Personally I think the problem is on the other side: an automated contract is all well and good, but how can a computer ever make a judgement as to whether the work that was done was compliant with the terms?
A lot more expensive. There will be no comparison in cost, or at least that is the wrong comparison to be making.

It doesn't make much sense to compare temperatures at latitudes from different sides of the Atlantic ocean. The Gulf Stream [1] makes the European cost a lot warmer at the same latitude. E.g. NYC is colder than North of Spain despite being roughly at the same latitude.

I doubt if users would have paid much for this kind of App. As its use-case seems to me, a cousin of lot of other free apps like maps (directions), which are done by giants. So basically its something which people need, but have mental categorization of it as a near-free thing.

For roughly the same amount of effort, that you put in this app, you could have a flight search engine. Where you will get something per transaction.

Not taking away from the app. From what I read here, it seems it was nicely done, and must have been quite useful. But its about how much people can pay per transaction (if I can call it that.). Freemium ad based model, has been the dominant Internet culture so far, for information from the web. That is a big barrier, in my experience for these kinds of apps to do well.
Your point about lock free algos generating garbage is true of some algos but not others. The disruptor (last I looked) was lock free and garbage free.

Without starting a huge debate, lack of generics, makes writing collections (especially concurrent safe ones) a trade off between correctness of algorithm & type safety.

I think it is OK to add tools to the process as long as the most critical parts are the least mysterious.

For instance, in a networked file system, the on/off switch for “move from version A to version B” ought to be about as simple as swapping a directory symbolic link. That way, everyone can see exactly what it is pointing to now, what it used to point to (as old version targets are probably in the same parent directory), and anyone can figure out how to roll it back instantly.

Given trivial on/off switches, the details of the rest of the system can start to gain complexity.

Also, it helps a lot to have something like a “beta flow” that is essentially a parallel replica of your production environment.
They make no mention of how long the tetraneutron might stay around for. Are we looking at whole seconds, or 10^-10 seconds of stability, or what?

Why don't these meet expectations?
GP is correct-- the neutron degeneracy pressure prevents the stellar remnant from getting any smaller, but it is the electron degeneracy pressure which makes beta decay energetically unfavorable. In order to be produced by neutron beta decay, an electron must enter a valid state. Pauli exclusion (electrons are fermions) requires the electron to enter a state at least as energetic as the electron Fermi level, which due to the neutron star's gravity is comparable to the rest mass of the electron. Neutron decay is energetically favorable, but not that favorable. The reverse process accelerates and equilibrium is reached.

That kind of absolute demand is just as useless. One might just as well ask "Where is the code and the audit?" And until we have that we are left with a strong motive on the part of snoops to force Intel and every other technology provider to create back doors.

Moreover there is evidence that at least some makers of mobile baseband systems included the ability to parse and execute special commands to turn phones into room bugs. This was revealed in a federal case against mafia activity. So it's not unprecedented for very large technology companies to comply with requests of that nature and keep them confidential.
