>There are some of us old enough to remember the days when phone+internet was a thing. Work got done, very good work.

I don't care how old you happen to be, or how rose-tinted your memories are. My smartphone and associated personal devices and services allow me to meet business, personal, and social goals in an efficient and effective manner. I have access to better information and get things done more quickly with my phone than without. I don't find it to be a drain on my productivity or my lifestyle.

>a phone in a pocket cannot understand what a person is doing at a location, or even who they talk to. And phones are subject to massive disinformation. (ie plant phone on someone else/leave on bus). So it is impossible for a cop at any terminal to replicate the quality of information gained by a physical tail.

This is irrelevant. Law enforcement and prosecutors tend to weaponize whatever personal data can be gleaned from civilians they are targeting, regardless of quality. Aside from my own personal measures to ensure such data is reasonably difficult for an unauthorized party to obtain, there ought to be strong controls on the ability of the state and its agents to acquire such data.
>> No. These are phones, not implants.

They will be soon and I look forward to the day. Of course then the government will open your body and remove the implant to do what they are now doing with the phones.

>> A corporation doesn't want to kill its customers. It wants them happy and spending.

Happy is not a priority, just spending. Many actually aim for depressed and spending. Depressed is better because all that is left is hope and that's a big carrot.

Pretty much everyone I know in London have moved here willingly, and like it here. I no, I'm not suggesting making it more crowded. I'm suggesting making it denser.

They're not the same.

Taking the current structure of my street and moving in 5 times more people would be a disaster. It'd be tiny little flats and bedsits, no space for parking. Endless queues.

Compressing my street into 1000m^2 of highrise would be a very different matter, and would let you increase density 5-times (so 5,000m^2 of highrises) near the end of the road closest to the rail station and bus station, and you'd still be left with 40,000 square metres of free land for e.g. extra parks and other amenities.

I don't think that'd be more crowded at all - on the contrary. Most work journeys would be drastically simplified and shortened. Far fewer people would need to depend on cars. Dense residential towers close to major transport interchanges could free up massive amount of road capacity, and outright remove the need for many roads even while pushing overall city density up towards Macau levels.

A lot of crowding is created by bad planning that lengthen journeys and force people to take routes that are already busy.

E.g. 15 years ago or so I lived at Marble Arch. I walked Oxford Street to Holborn where I worked every morning. It was relaxing and quiet in the morning. Then the Central Line derailed and there were repair works for weeks. Of course this was not a result of bad planning, but an accident, but it is a good example of the level of impact available transit options has: Suddenly it was as crowded in the morning as during the afternoon/evening shopping rush. (Lack of) crowding is as much a function of well planned transit as it is a function of density.

Plan a city right, and build dense, well located, housing within easy reach of high capacity transport, and it doesn't need to feel very crowded, because the feeling of it being crowded is not down to how many people that are near you, but how many people you can see and hear immediately surrounding you. Reducing the unnecessary roads, and freeing up space for leisure activities that spread people out (e.g. parks) can often reduce the feeling of being in a crowd even if the actual residential space is incredibly compact.
According to the author communication of information to a 3rd party, either another person, or a smartphone, or a pad of paper, is all an "extension of the mind". This premise equivocates the contents of a device, to the contents of a computer to a persons spoken and written word. To me this all makes sense that a repository of information that was communicated from one's mind can be considered an "extension" of it.

He then posits the money question "How much of ourselves should we give over to the state?"

However, it's a huge leap to treat this like a new issue. Humans have been storing mental processes with 3rd parties since the literal beginning of history, and storing them with non-human parties since literally the first written word. This necessarily existed before the "state" in any sense (as a state requires laws, which have to be somehow commuincated.) This means that this debate has been ongoing since literally the beginning of governments.

How/why/when/where the state handles spoken conversations vs written records vs computer records are concepts that have been fairly well established in both US and international law. People certainly hold varying viewpoints, but to contextualize that debate as new because of recent technological advances or the latest news seems clickbaity.
Public key encryption transforms are one of the biggest foot-guns in cryptography. OAEP is at least not prima facie broken, but using it still exposes you to the the design risks of building with public key encryption.

(There are attacks against OAEP, but they're less common and not intrinsic to the design the way PKCS1v15's are).
My example was extremely simplified, and my point was not that China's central planning is correct, working well, or a good idea. It was that it is easier to get away/justify central planning on basic necessities (especially when 500 million people don't even have access to these things) than more complicated luxuries that are more subject to individual tastes.

> The attack only works between processes running on two hyper-threads of the same core. Disabling hyper-threading is an effective mitigation against the attack.

In a virtual machine on a shared cloud server, do threads from two different VMs ever share a core?

Sure. But this battle between the FBI and Apple is at least as much a PR and Political battle as it is a legal battle.

The FBI's proposed interpretation of the AWA's powers is going to be a tough sell to appellate courts, as far as I can see. Their main play here has been to try to generate enough of a PR shitstorm that Apple decides not to challenge the writ and just plays along. And if that doesn't work, they're hoping to provoke enough outrage when Apple wins that congress is nudged into giving them the powers they want.

Only because they don't know what it is, nor largely that it exists, nor what it means for them to not have it.

Most of the big tech companies prey on ignorant users these days in the most insidious and pernicious ways for their profits - to a far greater extent than the seemingly innocent things like making a quick buck because someone doesn't know how to snap in a DIMM.

Yes, it most likely is. Adding noise in the form of other workloads only increases the time it takes. This attack takes some minutes of wall clock time, so it remains a viable attack even if there is noise, it should still be a manageable amount of time.

Insikt- San Francisco, Austin, Los Angeles
ONSITE

Insikt (pronounced “in-seekt”) is a white label loan origination and investing platform that enables any brand to lend to its customers and any accredited investor to invest in consumer loan portfolios.

Insikt was born out of our realization that banks will not be the lenders of tomorrow – brands will. Traditional banks, saddled with new rules and regulation, are no longer in the business of taking risk and making loans and cannot be relied on to deliver credit access and opportunity to the masses. Instead, tomorrow’s lenders will be media companies, retailers and prominent brands that have deep relationships with their customers and want to step in to help their customers get a fair loan. But, to do it right, they need scoring, servicing, technology and capital — all of which are expensive and difficult to build. So, why build it if you don’t have to? This is the future of lending. Any brand or company can be a lender. We’ve launched “Lending as a Service” (LaaS) to power this transformation. We are bringing together the best and brightest to solve real problems in the financial industry. We are looking for diverse talent across many different domains including designers, front end and back end development, product management, analytics and data science, credit, operations, and capital markets.We want passionate, fun-loving people who can contribute positively to our company and our culture. Let us know if this sounds like you. http://www.insikt.com

Technologies: front-end: angular, react back-end: java(finagle), node, groovy, postgres we run on AWS and we use chef for deployment.

Beyond developers, we're also looking for product managers, business analysts, you name it!

Where this could be interesting is in cloud/VM environments where the block device may actually be mounted over the network.

The performance improvement for fast devices cited in a link on the article [1] are pretty dramatic, but I wonder about how slow the device needs to be before polling becomes a problem. That same link mentions that slow devices benefit, but, speculate that it may be due to the CPU not being able to go into a deeper sleep state.
