I was skeptical of the claim that the current administration is "pouring billions of dollars into self-driving vehicles," but you're correct.

At the recent "Detroit Auto Show, Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx announced that the DOT would make a '10-year, nearly $4 billion investment to accelerate the development and adoption of safe vehicle automation through real-world pilot projects.'"

However, if you believe that self-driving cars are the inevitable future, which I and many do, then I'm not sure this is really evidence of a contradiction. Both can be seen as investments in keeping the American auto industry alive and relevant in a global economy.

That doesn't take away from your larger point that governments do seem to contradict themselves all the time, i.e., make investments and pass laws/have policies that work at cross purposes.
An interesting write up. I'm not sure I need a new stopwatch app, but I'm glad I read it.

OpenSSH is a different project that doesn't use OpenSSL, so that's not affected.

As for other software, it depends on the defaults and how their code disables SSLv2 (i.e. whether they just disable all SSLv2 ciphers, or disable the actual protocol with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2).

Anyway, it's likely that most distributions will backport the fix soon for all supported OS versions (either by disabling SSLv2 too or by including the fix from OpenSSL 1.0.2f that allows SSLv2 handshakes even if SSLv2 ciphers are disabled).
The attack is viable without export ciphers. The real issue here is the continued and unabated prevalence of PKCS#1 v1.5 padding (really, of RSA in general).

Surely Vanguard still need to make large trades whenever the make-up of the indices change?

When the (e.g.) 500th and 501st largest companies swap places, don't they need to sell one and buy the other to keep tracking a 500 share index?
Lots of historical precedence. The first few generations of 3D cards used to more than double in performance every generation. They'd get a process node bump, an architectural bump, a DRAM bandwidth bump and they'd often be bigger than previous generations.

The university with the highest total endowment suffered along with the market. It would be an obvious statement to say that Harvard suffered along with the rest of the market. Of course, they did better than the biggest losers. One could always say they could have done worse and put all their money in Citi.

I have to admit that I have no clue whether the endowment funds did better or worse than an index fund tracking the stock market but I imagine if one has $30B to invest (and you depend on dividends to run a third of one's operations) then surely you can't admit to be completely risk averse without reducing ambitions.

> In a sign of the economic times, Harvard has sent a letter to its deans saying that the university’s $36.9 billion endowment fund lost 22 percent of its value in the last four months and could decline as much as 30 percent by the end of the fiscal year on June 30.

From the paper: "In order to decrypt one TLS session, the attacker must passively capture about 1,000 TLS sessions using RSA key exchange, make 40,000 SSLv2 connections to the victim server and perform 2^50 symmetric encryption operations"

In other words, while this compromises TLS when SSLv2 is enabled, it seems to be only maybe practical for targeted use by state actors, and even then easily detectable by network capture.

The problem is that saying "Professor Lord Voldemort is a liar and a fraud" puts an end to scientific discussion and forces people to assume nakedly partisan positions. Publicly at least, we have to assume good faith in our counterparts, even if we know in our hearts that they're self-inflated gasbags.

The tactics I and the original article were describing allow Lord Voldemort to clothe any assertion he likes in the robes of science. The root of this problem is a broken incentive system for publication. We're required to publish a lot to show productivity, and we're trained to put in lots of citations to back up our work. This creates an unmanageable avalanche of worthless papers and makes it easy to build a false trail of scammy citations.

Compare this to the situation 50 years ago, before publication inflation had set in. John Nash wrote a 30 page dissertation, and cited two works at the end of it. Simon's classic "Behavioral Model of Rational Choice" cited 5 works. The entire Cowles commission report on Activity Analysis devoted only 4.5 of its 418 pages to citations, and that included a detailed lit review in its introduction. Nothing makes it to press these days without five to ten times as many citations.
There is a statistics smell that he initially shows also 1y and 3y performance for the endowments, but then doesn't show these for his alternative. Probably he cherry-picked the data that supported his point and hid the rest.
You'd think so, and it's supposed to. IME: As long as your not audited, nobody cares. I know of a place that was PCI approved for over 3 years that was doing every single item on the "do not do list". Since they weren't audited, nobody cared.
Not a great submission. How is something so poorly written getting this many points? Do people just need some moneyhate as a rally point today?
Fix with POP (Proof-of-Purchase). That is, you can enter the vehicle through any door, but you must have a valid ticket. Occasional inspectors check the tickets, and issue fines for people who don't have tickets such that the expected cost of not paying your fare is on the same order or lower than fare beating.

Put a fare vending machine which accepts cash and credits cards on the bus, which also makes it very obvious how to get a single fare. (This exists for example for trams in Berlin, modulo the accepting credit cards part)

I'm interested that you associate socialism with regulation and restriction - I guess as I'm from the UK I tend to associate it with service provision, particularly the NHS which is an avowedly socialist endeavor (and a pretty successful one at that).

A free health service is pure Socialism and as such it is opposed to the hedonism of capitalist society.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aneurin_Bevan

NB I agree about your point about the default - I would very much go with the assumption that the free market should be left to provide services unless there is a really good reason why the state might be good at it.

What greatly reduced Western poverty was not capitalism, which made it worse, but the 19th century reaction against capitalism which made it so that the modern mixed economy replaced capitalism everywhere in the West. (The industrial revolution provided the capacity for reducing poverty, but under capitalism that capacity was directed elsewhere.)

Conversely, the move in the last few decades years back toward capitalism in the US has pretty much killed improvent in conditions for most of the working class, while radically accelerating gains for the narrow set of hypercapitalists at the top of the system.
> • Extend the use of state remote computer hacking from the security services to the police in cases involving a “threat to life” or missing persons. This can include cases involving “damage to somebody’s mental health”, but will be restricted to use by the National Crime Agency and a small number of major police forces.

Aka "Antisocial behavior" == "We can hack your computer"

> The home secretary told MPs she had rejected the committees’ recommendations to exclude the use of state surveillance powers for the “economic wellbeing” of the UK. She also resisted their demand to scrap warrants allowing GCHQ to undertake bulk computer hacking, describing them as a “key operational requirement”.

Aka "We can hack anyone who isn't in the UK for financial reasons"

All this is really doing is guaranteeing a digital police state in the UK with all level of access, powers, and data recording that would be the wet dream of literally any fascist regime.

As sad as it is to say...

I can't wait until the very exploits and databases the UK is going to gather get "hacked". It is the only way I think they might possibly wake up and realize how fucking horrific this is.

There is absolutely no law of economics that says that wages can't decrease. Wages are based on the supply and demand of labor, and there is no question that robots will affect that. If the wages fall below minimum wage, or even what it is feasible to survive on, then you get unemployment.

Most human jobs for most of history have been unskilled work. Things anyone could be trained to do, not requiring high intelligence, and involving physical or repetitive work. The industrial revolution moved unskilled laborers from farms to factories, but there were still jobs.

But with near future tech, there will be very few things, if anything, unskilled humans can do that robots can't. We are just starting to see AI good enough that it can match humans in visual recognition tasks - which 10 years ago was unthinkable, and progress incredibly slow. This level of AI has been the main limitation to robots. We've had decent robots, but AI wasn't good enough to use them for anything interesting. Now it is.

Soon robots will take over almost all existing jobs. From truck drivers to shelf stockers to the mail man.

Of course there will be jobs that AI can't do (for now.) E.g. computer programmers or doctors. But realistically, what percent of the population can actually do those jobs? What percent of unemployed truck drivers are actually going to be able to retrain as computer programmers?
Except that software patents are not criminal, they are legal. You may wish they weren't but they are. His analogy is far more appropriate than yours.

I also wish software patents didn't exist. But I'm not foolish enough to think I can pretend they don't.

I was also confused, and I'm a native speaker. Understanding that "rather" means "prefer" is obvious.

The sentence could be read as "I prefer to be on the road with a bus since I think it's safer". Or it could be "choosing what's most dangerous, I'd rather say it's a bus".

It's also not clear what the perspective of the speaker is. It might be that a bus is safer for the rider, but more dangerous for cars around it. So would he rather be on board a bus, or rather on the road with a bus?

Pivotal | ONSITE SF, NYC, Palo Alto and many, many locations worldwide | Engineers, Designers, Product Managers, Pre/Post-Sales Engineers, Ops and others | Visa & relocation for right candidate

First things first. We look for aptitude over APIs. It doesn't matter whether your resumé says PHP or PhD: if you're smart, know some stuff and have empathy, we want to work with you.

Pivotal's goal is to change the way the world makes software and we kinda sorta really mean it. We're broken into three basic divisions: Pivotal Labs (yes, that Pivotal Labs), Pivotal Cloud Foundry and Pivotal Big Data. Rotations between divisions, temporarily or permanently, are possible.

We have offices in San Francisco, New York City, Santa Monica, Palo Alto, Seattle, Boulder, Denver, Chicago, Boston, Washington DC, Toronto, London, Dublin, Tokyo and Sydney. We will soon be opening an office in Berlin as well, with more to come. Relocations, temporarily or permanently, are possible.

Each of the three divisions has a constantly evolving and deliberately cross-pollinated culture. We are constantly thinking about how we work and how we can work more sensibly, effectively and enjoyably. Right now we are particularly trying to grow in Labs and Cloud Foundry.

-- Pivotal Labs, from which the company draws its name and cultural seed, helps clients to become better at development. For engineering we are religiously lean and agile. In practice that means we pair program and TDD every line of code from the outside. Our product managers are fantastic at keeping products sharply focused, our designers are masters from users to pixels.

-- Cloud Foundry solves application deployment and management. We're the main contributors to the Cloud Foundry project. We're constantly improving the leading opensource PaaS -- our distribution has the fastest-growing sales of any opensource product ever.

It's also the only PaaS I'd personally bet a company on. Except for integrated upstream code, every line is pair programmed and TDD'd. We dogfood the cutting edge of the technology on our own commercial public cloud (Pivotal Web Services). It works because we took the XP and Lean DNA of Pivotal Labs and scaled it up to build the best cloud platform bar none.

-- Generally

At our offices we have free breakfast, weekly tech talks, good benefits and competitive pay. Ping pong is not mandatory, but it's popular. I think west-coast ping pong is harder to beat, but east-coast style is more entertaining to watch. The beer fridge has more IPA than I prefer but I guess that's life in paradise.

We can provide visa and relocation assistance. In the NYC office we have about 15 people from overseas, including Australians like me.

You can apply through our website: http://pivotal.io/careers. You can also email me at jchester+hn@pivotal.io to answer any questions you might have and potentially help me score one of our generous referral bonuses.

For what it's worth, I'm just an engineer, so my replies might not be immediate. I hope that's OK.

You are not correct, there was NEVER 10x jump (apart from software render of same scene vs 3dfx one, which is not apples to apples).

'Sand bag' turns out to be a euphemism.
Erm... you totally ought to ignore the stated "desires" of victims when, say, going after a murderer, who may threaten the surviving relatives so that they say they don't want persecution. There are pretty good reasons for criminals being sued by the state for some crimes and by the victim in others (I don't have a source but I'd use "economic analysis of law" to find some of the sources that try to approach this issue systematically.)

On the other hand, since in reality the rule of law is often way weaker than the rule of, say, public opinion, or bribes, etc. etc., it of course matters a lot what the victim thinks; if one thinks that the whole purpose of the FBI is to sway the public opinion to gain power, then of course the way to counter this is to sway the public opinion in the opposite direction, and the public will care about the victim's opinion. (In general, it feels that the share of the population truly believing in "the rule of law" as in "let's follow these written rules literally instead of arbitrarily interpreting them to suit our current desires and then priding ourselves on having and following great laws" is rather small; I'm not sure if it's good or bad...)
