>I'm guessing Americans that moved to Holland are probably pretty happy there. That says absolutely nothing about the United States.

True and I personally would recommend everyone who can, try to live in both places as each suits different temperaments.

And I do not mean to denigrate Montana particularly which surely has virtues. But at the risk of being provocative I would cite this billboard near Malad city which simply would not exist in Europe. http://i.imgur.com/MDSWg.jpg

I really can't see how it presumes a lot of knowledge. Half the words are common English words to indicate what is happening, you don't need to know the technicalities of what's going on to know you gave permissions to an app and want to take them away.

Hell, I even checked, "permissions google" still has the account management link as the first one there. So even just knowing the word permission, which is a common English term to describe what you just gave the app, and the wording Google uses (see below) to refer to it, is enough to get to that page. You don't need to be a CS major to figure that out.

As I said above, Google even uses the terms when you do the signin: https://jaxenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/google-permi... and gives you direct instructions on how to manage them.
Note to self: if I renounce my US citizenship, do NOT check the box saying "I'm doing this for tax reasons".

Seriously, this is apparently real law, but according to a "citation needed" bit in wikipedia, has never been enforced.

> The 1996 law included a provision to bar entry to any individual "who officially renounces United States citizenship and who is determined by the Attorney General to have renounced United States citizenship for the purpose of avoiding taxation by the United States."[47] There is no known case of this provision, known as the Reed Amendment, having ever been enforced.[citation needed]
This is my biggest gripe when it comes to implementing self-driving vehicles. Once it gets to the 80%ish range and a lot of people can spot an self-driving car from a pedestrian-driving car, I just know there'll be so many people that will walk in-front of those cars because it's faster for the pedestrian than waiting to cross the road.

They are very similar. Tower has less of git's features as well when compared to SourceTree. It is though much much faster and definitely more stable.

Nope. Tower lacks that feature.
The tech debt associated with branches disappears with the completion of the merge request. The tech debt with feature flags doesn't disappear until someone gets around to removing the (now) dead code.

Personally, I use both, based on what is best for the feature. Why not, after all?
Clearly its based on his deep and extensive 30 year work experience as a information security and cryptology developer at Apple. Additionally, I believe Comey was the first person to jailbreak the original iPhone. (sarcasm)
I do not have the experience you are looking for [Jedi wave]. I am a professionally-unproven programmer with a highly exceptional work ethic. Recently completed my MS and have 4 years of experience in the medical diagnostics industry, as well as ~12 years of experience working in a range of jobs including newspaper sales, retail, audio/video technician, and lab technician.

I have never had a "professional challenge" that was actually a challenge. I am notorious for setting my goals 10-20% higher than those set by management and completing them with flying colors. I am looking for a great group of people who have the mentality of "I've never done this before, awesome!"

For true enterprise scale, Medallia, MaritzCX, and Confirmit. For business-oriented surveying and analysis, Qualtrics is in my opinion by far the best.
To be honest, this is actually a good strategy ... producing a poor layout that is. I've found a lot of times, a post either has a lot of comments/votes because the product idea was stupid and/or something unrelated about the product was less than impressive.

So if you are launching a product on Hacker News, it might be worthwhile to create two separate landing pages. Create one that is less than informative/provocative to get the votes/comments and then switch to a more informative one when you have secured a front page position.

Except digital signing makes the compromised OS totally and utterly useless for other phones. Changing the OS would cause the signature check to fail.

And if you can get around the digital signage, you don't need the compromised OS.

Conway's technical interpretation of the Apple deliverables is right. There's a legal precedent which could cause reuse (and is rightly matter for debate/utter refusal of the FBI position), but if you just debate the technical merits Apple has been very misleading about the consequences.
Like Ukraine?
I'm not sure how Apple could develop GovtOS without at least testing it on other iPhones.
Has 'tc' been updated in the last 15 years? last time I looked (15 years ago) it was a poorly understood mysterious, unmaintained code.
I've used https://opbeat.com/ for a small side project and been fairly happy - they track exceptions, releases and performance.
That's how I took it. I upvoted you
How about EngageMonkey?
> Is the idea that a single unikernel is equivalent to a single process?

Yes.

A unikernel is equivalent to a process in a more traditional system. We usually don't secure parts of a process against other parts of the same process. We just start more processes.

> Surely we're getting into realms of serious performance issues if that's the case?

Why?
History may have been different if you'd been comparable dressers... Interesting to read things from contemporaries of famous computer scientists
Sure, but once the FBI has forced Apple to write the code, forcing them to update the device ID and sign the new build is trivial by comparison, which means that breaking into any random iPhone will become routine.
Cell phones have shitty mics (because physics).

You would need a condenser microphone for low level noises. Around $100.

TV camera crews have them, not even one stood around waiting for the sounds?
> These state agencies will be a digital signature away from being able to crack any iPhone that ends up in their physical possession.

Which in the current world, is about as far from having an exploit as one can be. Digital signing works pretty well.
> While true, many advocates of this sort of plan are arguing for it so that workers don't have to work crappy minimum wage jobs but can go off and do something more creative. Or they can rely on basic income if their jobs are automated away.

I think its not unreasonable to see UBI as something that could enable that, with sufficient growth in productivity driven by automation.

I think that its naïve to think that you can set UBI at a level now that achieves that, though. 10% of GDP can provide a lot different living standard as GDP/capita increases.
these days my only c use is via obj-c in xcode, so i may well be unaware of the state of the art for straight c or straight c++ / other tools. xcode's refactorings and jump-to-defn (presumably powered by clang?) are still very flaky for me.

for go, i use:

goimports -- which is gofmt (which is awesome) + auto-adding/removing imports (just a heuristic so not always right, but usually right and quite handy)

godef -- for jumping to definitions

gorename -- for rename refactorings. i have not once gotten this to break code.

oracle -- for showing other things about code, like 'which types implement this interface?'. as far as i can tell, it hasn't lied to me yet.

i use emacs as my editor, which integrates easily w/ all of the above tools.

i'm not sure what libraries power the tools above, but i think it's true that packages like go/types do the heavy lifting and make them relatively easy to write.
What would you propose then? Obviously someone needs to fight the law enforcement agents making these requests; we can't just tell the FBI "you just have to follow the law exactly as it's written, you can't challenge anything" because that would severely tie its wrists.

I do agree it's not quite fair to put defense costs on the company/individual that needs to fight it, but the alternative I can think of is a public defender type system that I don't think many people would be happy with for corporations.
I am the original creator of the spreadsheet.

I am planning on converting this data to website that will keep track of what tech employers are in the city. Kind of like HackerBatch but just listing companies, not delivering job postings. (Also, it will be available to the public, not just UBC/SFU students. You won't have to get 50 students from your school to sign up like with HackerBatch, either.)

For the moment, I'm protecting the sheet so I have a stable source from which to work. Stay tuned...
I would tend to agree. In this whole episode I don't think either Google or the user are "at fault." I think its an unfortunate misunderstanding. A powerful tool accidentally misused.

It does make me think that perhaps authentication (OAuth) would be better provided by an independent organization that didn't house so much personal data (that is, not an email provider nor a social network). An independent provider that didn't have much, if any, personal info would prevent this accidental release of information and control. That way if someone _really_ wanted to give a third party access to and control of their email at Google they would have to actually take the extra step of logging into Google and deliberately providing the access. In this case introducing friction into the process may save the user from shooting himself in the foot.
I'm almost certain this is mainly much wealthier people.

I would say it's most likely people who don't have strong ties to America like people born in the US to foreign parents who moved back to their home countries.

Same with MUNI in San Francisco, I can have a bright flashing light, be in the bike lane, and be able to see the driver in their sideview mirror, and they'll just drift over without ever even glancing in the mirror and almost kill me. As expensive and trouble prone as street cars can seem, it's one thing I really like about them, they stay on their tracks.

I completely avoid ever being next to them now, I'll just stop and wait if there's any chance

Unless I'm mistaken, I believe the number is $10,000 over any part of the calendar year:

This used to be self reported on form TD F 90-22.1, which has been superseded by the new FinCEN Form 114:

https://www.treasury.gov/services/Pages/TD-F-90-22.1-Report-...

Note, there may be, and likely are, additional forms to be filed, but these are the ones that I recall for reporting foreign assets.

And, by the way, the whole system is bullshit. To give another example of how this hurts Americans abroad, the lack of banks willing to work with Americans means that some places it's technically illegal to obtain an apartment lease, though some sort of side deal can normally be worked out. For example, in Norway, the deposit money for an apartment must be held in a joint interest bearing account between the landlord and the tenant. This protects both parties and is generally a good idea. However, if a bank won't work with an American, these accounts become impossible. Yes, both parties can just ignore the law and that often happens, but it's another example of how these kind of banking and reporting laws hurt Americans in less known ways.

Because it isn't politically expedient for them to do so, as Apple is very very successful, and as such, most people (voters in this case) who are uninformed love the theater and cheap political pot shots lobbed at Apple. It's clear that there is no discussion at a national nor international level of the actual implications of what this means for not just Apple, but indeed for the American economy and software built in the US.

For instance, do you really think Microsoft will be able to sell Office software to the Netherlands Government if the DOJ/NSA/whoever can use the All-Writs Act to force Microsoft to implement a backdoor into their software? Would the NSA be able to use the AWA in conjunction with a NSL and a secret court to force the hand of companies? Politicians / the public don't really grasp what's at stake here. What we're really talking about creating a complete and real artificial handicap for all software companies located/based out of the US. Already there is pushback in China, Europe and Australia to ditch American-made software after the Snowden revelations. A ruling in favor of the FBI will only compound and accelerate this issue and will have a marked and measurable effect on the revenues of software and hardware companies located in the US.

While Google/Apple/Facebook/Microsoft/Cisco et al may not be able to relocate, this will definitely cause small and medium sized firms to relocate or possibly to never incorporate within the US to begin with. This may be effectively and preemptively scaring away the next Google. Law of unintended consequences and all that.

The odd thing is, there are so many ways you can avoid an arrest legally in Brazil as long you have the legal resources. They could have thrown a liminar (injunction?) to avoid handing the data or, as a last resort, an habeas corpus to avoid the arrest.

Our ex-president Lula has just avoided questioning/testifying on a corruption case. He's suspected of having gotten an apartment from construction companies as a bribe. It was on someone else's name, so he doesn't pay taxes on it etc (also illegal apart from the bribe). This is much more serious than this Facebook case, and there's so much evidence now that it would be a slam dunk case in any decent country. And Lula got out of it legally.
A Readers’ Guide to the Apple All Writs Act Cases
I'm a visual person so perhaps seeing some code will help. I've gutted a CRUD heavy side project that shows how I lay things out and put it on Github [1]. I left out the back end folder so this repo isn't intended to work. The "users" and "journals" folders are the CRUD parts.

I prefer a domain folder structure versus splitting things by function. So instead of folders like "actions/userActions.js" and "reducers/userReducer.js" I'll do "users/actions.js" and "users/reducers.js".

Ping me on github if you have any more questions.

That makes sense. I wish I knew what the IoT equivalent of a video game was, though. And while early-80s computers may not have actually done that many practical things, there were at least lots of speculative articles enthusing about the practical things they would be doing in the near future, and decades' worth of science fiction imagining impractical things they might be doing in the farther future. With the IoT, I don't know of any such writing. Presumably it exists, and I'm hoping somebody can point me to it, but I simply haven't encountered anything of the sort.

Another commenter talked about the excitement of being able to manipulate real-world objects. Maybe when engineer types get excited about "IoT" it is really just because this is the first time they are imagining that firmware hacking could be within their reach? Firmware is old hat to me and mixing the internet into it sounds like a recipe for disaster, but maybe if people are used to thinking of themselves as web developers, and don't realize that it's already easy to manipulate hardware and this has nothing to do with the Internet, they would read "IoT" as "I can control it". For me, though, "IoT" implies that "it is no longer mine to control".
Haha, it could be. Shoot me a note darin@spire.com :)

Even better, hang it from a 20' cable below a drone and fly it over. Stream the audio back in case they somehow manage to disable the drone. I'm sure lots of people in the Bay Area have the equipment right now to do this, just a matter of if anyone cares.
I didn't state anything. That's a direct quote by the guy who runs what is, by leaps and bounds, the most advanced project applying AI to legal analysis.

They're doing some incredible (and incredibly interesting) things, but even they don't see AI taking over courtrooms any time soon. Think about the two problems Professor Genesereth noted above (even in the context of the most laughably simple example imaginable). These problems aren't just of a different magnitude compared to the problems we are working on with AI right now--they're of a different character entirely.

Do you know of any AI programs that can generate analogies to every possible thing/situation/event and choose the most "well-suited" among those alternatives based on a holistic, "all important things considered" balancing approach? Do you know of any AI programs that are able to rank human values/morals in a heirarchy, in a way that would be acceptable all (or even most) of us? Until the answer to those questions is "yes", you're not going to see AI sitting behind the bench in an American courtroom.

A brief aside: the common law is used as a lazy evaluation strategy[0], whereby we can defer filling in the full content of any idea/word/phrase/whatever until it actually becomes a problem. So the legislature can pass a law "no pets allowed" instead of spelling out a full and comprehensive list of every imaginable item to be banned: "No Mesocricetus auratus [golden hamster], Mesocricetus brandti [Turkish hamster], Mesocricetus newtoni: [Romanian hamster]...and so on for the next 10,000 pages."

AI could easily handle some of this filling in of content but not so much items like "reasonable search" or "malicious intent" or even, apparently, "vehicle." Those types of decisions often fall, not to logical deduction, but to induction from incomplete, conflicting and messy human theories about goodness and justice and truth. Just as most wouldn't outsource their decisions about who to love or what god to believe in, they're not going to let AIs make these types of decisions (assuming, of course, that AIs are even eventually capable of doing so--which remains an open question).

They could easily request the device signing keys via a different case or again using the all-writs act stating that it's necessary for whatever.

Not turning over the encryption/signing keys would be followed up with jail time / contempt of court charges for any officers/developers/etc refusing to remand the keys into federal custody.

> It does make me think that perhaps authentication (OAuth) would be better provided by an independent organization that didn't house so much personal data (that is, not an email provider nor a social network).

OAuth is an authorization system, not a mere authentication system, and it makes sense to have an authorization provider that is the locus of data or services for which authorization is required.

Separate authentication-only systems haven't been particularly successful.

FWIW, the American Citizens Abroad have a short list of places to file complaints about being ditched by a bank.
