I actually think it is fair to portray nearly all of the Nazi and Soviet leadership as villains. Just for somewhat different reasons.

>You don't have to prove a "conspiracy" among the participants every time you apprehend a trend among a given population group for the trend to be true in a heuristic sense.

Sure you do. Listing facts like these is only done because it comes with implicit accusations about intent and/or genetic flaws. Also, ad hominem though it may be, I am 99% certain you support Hitler and sing his praises on places like /pol/.

It is true that many of the initial leaders in the Bolshevik movement were Jewish and the Cheka had heavy Jewish representation for a while (though this was greatly reduced under Stalin). However, presenting those facts alone does not convey the full picture. For example, the fact that many Jews were killed by the Bolsheviks, sometimes by ethnic Russiand and sometimes by other ethnic Jews. Or that pretty much none of the Jewish founders identified with Judaism ethnically or religiously and refused to abide by Jewish traditions, instead favoring a secular united philosophy with the rest of the country).

The only reason to present those facts as you have is to imply either some sort of conspiracy, or some sort of inherent moral failing within all Jews which the Nazis justifiably "defended themselves" from.

You're confusing stresses and tones.

I think if you say the phrase "to buffalo" and "a buffalo", you'll pronounce those words in the same way. It's only when putting a sentence together that you'll stress them differently to indicate their usage in that sentence.

In tonal languages, you always say the word with the given tone, regardless of context.
So I guess we need more than just a "transliteration" to a safer language. We really need to shed that cruft and write something clear and understandable.

Could we also drop a lot of requirements that applied to older, more limited hardware? (Or, do certain constrained hardware situations still require most of those requirements to stick around?)
There's definitely a lot of room for improvement. The V8 team has been working on finishing baseline implementations for all of ES6 before spending significant time optimizing particular features. But improvements are coming quickly! In the last few weeks, for example, ES6 rest parameters got 8-10x faster and Object.assign() is now as fast as _.assign() [0].

In general, we will focus on improving the performance of the most-used features first. Arrow functions, generators, etc. are high on the list.

My Experience as a Millennial Working at Yelp…Talia Jane Response
Modern C++ is not that huge, it just has lots and lots of weird corner cases and gotchas due to backwards compatibility. You can get reasonably proficient in a couple of weeks, just like any other programming language. You'll just be left with the nagging feeling that you don't understand _everything_ that might happen in your code.

Is it exception safe? Are my iterators always valid? Is this undefined behaviour?

So better keep a copy of the C++ standard open and keep reading whenever you feel unsure.

That's not a justified fear. Requiring Apple to backdoor all phones is not similar at all to requiring Apple to help hack particular phones, that they have the capability to hack, in response to court orders.
TL;DR: The world is unfair, but anyone could work tirelessly for 15 years to overcome that, which makes it fair in the end.

If context is missing (paper is torn, parts of conversation are missed) then "overloaded words" can easily be misinterpreted. People have various techniques for correcting these communication errors: make an assumption based on one's own knowledge of speaker, make an assumption based on one's own knowledge of the topic or beliefs or reconfirm the meaning with the speaker. I am sure there are a lot more.

For non-native speakers overloaded words can be challenging to deal with. Overloaded words and close sounding words are also a common source of language games and art. All human languages have ambiguity at some level.
It's not a false positive if they aren't testing for the thing that turns out to be positive. That people express creativity or whatever, despite making it through an employment filter based almost solely on technical concepts.

Rust's OOM handler calls abort(). This kills the process, and cannot be caught.

> I personally don't like. mounting efivars rw is akin to mounting boot rw by default.

No, it's not the same. Mounting `/boot` rw by default does not put your system in the danger of getting damaged beyond repair. If you hose the boot partition you can always start a recovery system (live Linux or similar) to repair the damage.f

But if deleting efivars renders a system inoperable on a firmware level you're essentially SOL, save for rewriting the contents of the system firmware flash using an external programmer and a clean image. That is an absolutely inacceptable situation. The year is 2016 and hosing a firmware by writing malformed values into the firmware API is, simply put, a software vulnerability that allows to permanently DoS a system. As such this is a security issue that must be fixed at where the security issue happens. And in case of efivars the issue is that certain input is not properly validated and/or sanitized. If a system firmware can not properly start with certain variables being unset or removed or set to invalid valued, its should be a implementation requirement to validate input on such variables before executing the change.

> Defaulting to rw efivars is, excuse the language stupid.

It probably it. But it's not the responsibility of the OS to sanitize values that are not intended for being used by the OS. efivars are intended to be used by (U)EFI and hence it's the (U)EFI implementation's task to properly sanitize access to them.

Essentially we're talking Bobby Tables here, just with a different API.

The nightmare scenario is as follows.

Sure, unlocking this one phone sounds pretty reasonable. Apple will maintain control of the unlock mechanism, the FBI gets it warrant obliged, end of story. This is what the government side is spinning (see the nytimes op-ed today from William Bratton, NYC police commissioner).

The reality is that is not the end of the story. New York City has already said they have 200 phones waiting to be unlocked. Given an FBI win in the case, and Apple building the unlock mechanism, there's no reasonable defense against these unlocks. And this is just one city.

I wonder how many full time Apple employees would be required to service the steady flow of requests from law enforcement across the world to unlock phones. Hundreds? Thousands? I'm sure they already have law enforcement liaisons, but we're talking a whole other level of commitment in order to essentially create a worldwide law enforcement IT help desk.

Somewhere during the process of industrializing the unlocking of phones, a lot of people are going to start saying it would make sense if Apple would just provide the ability to unlock directly to law enforcement agencies. That would solve the problem of law enforcement heavily burdening Apple with all these requests.

Assuming Apple capitulated to that (presumably forced to capitulate because I doubt Tim Cook would do it willingly), we finally reach the nightmare scenario where access to the unlocker is no longer strictly enforceable and it's only a matter of time to where criminals have it. This is a true Pandora's Box, because there's no patch that will plug this hole.

This is a true slippery slope, in that its progression is all but assured. The only thing capable of stopping it is to have hardware that is incapable of having an unlocker created for it. Hopefully that's where we're at with newer phones, although that seems to not be fully confirmed. It's one thing for law enforcement to make Apple open a lock it has the capability to open. It's another to require that Apple make their product less secure than they otherwise would make it. I don't see that happening through the courts. At the very least, it would require an act of congress, probably followed with a lengthy court battle over the constitionality of such a requirement.

What do you think is going to happen? Oh yeah, there's the git logs too.

This is not about one phone. It never was. It's about establishing a behavior.

Also, there's no master key. It does not exist. Apple does not have an "actual master key". Maybe Google does, but Apple has said quite clearly, that no such software or key to decrypt phones exists.
Apple should just build their sysyem so that it can not be backdoored. Make the TrustedZone non upgradable or give the signingkey to the use (Smartcard in the package of the phone). User can either keep or destroy the key, as they see fit.

More security for everybody. No backdoors. The FBI can as for speciak version all they want.

To be sure, they could still ask apple for a prober backdoor, but at least they can anker it to a individuel case.

You're thinking of this from the wrong angle. What the FBI is working to build is a legal master key to get information from modern smartphones. It's not difficult to determine this is their objective, as the director of the FBI has asked for as much from Congress.

If you didn't realize that, it's easy to see how you're caught up in the wrong argument.

Yep. Imagine your flight through Asia making an unplanned outage in Thailand and finding yourself in prison as a result of the lese majeste laws[1]. Except instead of it being because of a public Facebook post you made[2] while in another country, it's because of a private text you sent.

You're telling me you would trust that software to remain in the hands of trusted actors? In 2015, alone, the IRS was breached, LastPass, the director of the CIA, Hacking Team, even Kaspersky Labs was breached! There can be no absolute guarantee that this backdoor would remain safe indefinitely. That is just the most blatant problem, not to mention the overt displays of cynicism and misuse of authority by the NSA as revealed by the Snowden leaks. Consider the political climate in the US at the moment. Now imagine a truly evil actor came into power, being handed over control of organizations with unheard-of amounts of surveillance power. I don't mean to seem paranoid, but in this case the feeling is completely warranted.
Haskell syntax is really nowhere near as complex as C++'s or even Rust's. It's not indecipherable, it's just different and not C-like. It's in the same family as SML, OCaml and F# so if you learn one of those, the others come easily.
Which, nevertheless, means that people aren't really ruling, and therefore it's not what one could legitimately call "people's rule". Their elected "representatives" (which, let me remind you, don't give a shit about their constituents between elections) write laws. The president, elected by the electoral college people elect (who also doesn't give a shit about the constituents) signs the laws and commands the army which will suppress any challenge to the authority of the federal government with violence if need be. And courts (in which judges aren't elected at all and don't have to give a shit about anybody), interpret the laws.

Why do we need so many middlemen? Is this _really_ a democracy? Or is it a mere visibility of "rule of the people" designed to keep the working class, well, working, for the benefit of the ruling class?
Well, the USA should mind its own business and fuck off. Too harsh? Ops. You spy and start wars in others countries and expect it to be ok?
This dialog should move us in that direction. More people are learning how their phone's security works and Apple will be pressured, hopefully, to live up to the public's expectation of privacy.
I know client side security is a joke, but the only reason I made it iterate thousands of times is to increase the time taken to generate a password. That makes brute force attacks unfeasible.
Somewhere in the middle, say point W, the image leaks and you wind up with the POTUS phone being tapped by Russia. Or by terrorists. Or a wanna-be POTUS assassin. It's worse than Pandora's box - once we open this box we will never be able to demonstrably prove that attempts to close it have succeeded, just like Ken Thompsons "cc hack"[1]. If and once Apple makes this image every Apple user on the planet, including the government, would be perpetually weary of it.

Basically, lim(consequences) = no guarantees that USA secrets are actually secret. If they can't keep the lid on one employee (Snowden) how on earth could they trust themselves with something this dangerous? 'Z' is inevitable.

The wording/example that Apple used really appeals to the common person, but you need to frame it for the government if you are talking to the government.

Question for HN in general: Is it possible in principle (for Apple or someone else) to construct a smartphone that can accept software/firmware updates, but that Apple cannot push malware to at some later time?

E.g. can we implement all security functionality in hardware/burn it into the silicon? Or accomplish the same ends by some other means?

Intuition says "no," because "security functionality" is sort of nebulous. But it would be great if a device could be constructed in such a way that all such future demands for collusion by hostile actors such as governments could be rendered preemptively impossible.
You're correct. Each attempt takes 80ms as a hardware limitation.

"While Apple CEO Tim Cook has consistently argued that unlocking one device would set a dangerous precedent, Gates doesn't believe that it would. He argues that Apple has access to the information, but that they are declining to provide access to the information."

This sounds correct to me. Instead of the government being the gatekeeper (access by way of court orders), Apple is arguing Apple should be. Why? Should we trust Apple won't abuse their power when their own interests are at stake?

Remember Terry Childs? Do you mean to tell me if Apple had an an ex-employee with the keys to their kingdom on his/her iPhone, Apple would just write-off 700 billion dollars? They'd crack that phone without thinking twice about it.
