I wonder if reframing the debate a little might help everyone realize that what Apple is doing doesn't actually impede law enforcement, and that iCloud backups actually can help them (a lot).

This is simple:

1. Most people will not actually "go dark" because the consequence of going dark is you lose everything if you lose your password. That severe consequence for a relatively common human error is not a good fit for most people's personal records and photographic life memories.

The right fit for most people is

(a) unbreakable security on their physical devices so they don't have to worry about getting hacked if they lose them, plus

(b) cloud backup that can be recovered by a trusted custodian, so they don't have to worry if they lose their password.

And that is exactly what Apple is providing. Law enforcement will still be able to go after their backups.

2. As for the case where someone really does want to "go dark", weakening physical device security isn't going to stop them. They will simply use alternative encryption software. Law enforcement still can't get it. So why make everyone more vulnerable to the hacking of stolen devices?

Case in point: law enforcement did get access to the terrorist's last iCloud backup. And if he turned off backups with the conscious intention of going dark, then even if Apple made that impossible on the iPhone, he would have simply used a different solution (e.g. not use the phone for secret info or use a different, secure phone with open source software if necessary, etc.)
I agree. I adblock but I fully expect web businesses to do everything in their power to stop me; if they think that's in their best interests. We're all looking out for number one.
Ads are still about 94% of Google's revenue.
Why did SXSW give yet another mic to this type of clown?

I guess hipster are now trying on establishment ring-kissing for fashion. Maybe next they can host a d-bait.
As a Scala fan, I can agree with the sentiment.

Scala tried to be (1) flexible and (2) very interoperable with Java.

This lead to (1) a lot of confusing intersections of paradigms and (2) a lot of compromise even within those ideals.

That said, I don't see any better statically typed functional language with even half the available libraries of Scala (because of Java), so I stick to it as my language of choice. Haskell is very close though, with the added benefit (IMO) of native compilation.
>You may be able to use "greening" here, but at least AFAIK it is not common in English since it seems a bit strange to turn adjectives into nouns like that.

I think the equivalent in English would be "begreening." It looks weird written out, but I think your meaning would be clear if you said something like, "The city's begreening project will cost an estimated 1.5 million dollars."
> "if technologically it is possible to make an impenetrable device or system, or the encryption is so strong that there is no key, there is no door at all, then how do we apprehend the child pornographer?

Won't somebody think of the children!!!

In seriousness though, the government and the the FBI have already show themselves capable of infiltrating and bringing down child pornography rings that use strong encryption.

There are ways to do that without backdooring everyone's phones 'just in case'.
Yes. Discuss the issue online. Make Facebook posts and YouTube videos. Talk about it with your friends.

CALL your representatives to let them know how you feel and why. Email them. It works, they do listen. There are bills being proposed in NY and CA that would force companies to insert back doors or face a penalty. The issue is now political at the highest level, and our President is spreading the misinformed view of fear, uncertainty and doubt. Given Trump's campaign success, we should all be very afraid at the effectiveness of this uninformed stance.

Yes. I just don't know why Jigsaw is far better, other then it being part of the language of course.

Perhaps ignorance on my part.
Yah, including tapping RIAA litigators for Justice Department: http://www.wired.com/2009/04/obama-taps-fift/
its probably whats going to happen. Wait, its already happening.

http://zeronet.io/ for example. served by users for users. all you pay is your ISP, thats IT.
That's an interesting perspective and using your example (planes), you should already have "uber-ized" flight, but you don't. Such commodities generally become heavily regulated, making entry difficult and effectively become oligopolies with minor players at the margins until they are disrupted and the cycle repeats.
LOL. I was waiting for someone to confuse an economic crash as an answer to my question. You get a prize for suggesting that the actual Great Depression is an example. Well done!

Obviously, with perfect foresight, few intelligent developers would choose to begin a construction project just before a major economic retraction. But if your suggestion is that we should build now, then wait for economic armageddon to really adjust prices downward, then I guess I can't argue.
I've seen this argument against crypto currencies before and I alway found it bizarre. Do you honestly believe that the government's ability to tax you is predicated on it's ability to see how much money you have in your bank account and the ability to take that money? Taxes existed long before electronic records of money.

Mostly true but not always.

While generally neutral, a spaceless join does convey a sense of "hardness", or a deepening of the association between the joined parts in some contexts. It also can give a concept greater currency simply because it can be expressed more efficiently: compare Sitzpinkler with "[A male person / group of people] who pee while sitting."
Transparent. Radley's piece is more transparent. The NYTimes, a warmongering, deceitful, fallen-from-grace publication, is more opaque. But they are equally biased.

And in any case, the HN guidelines make no distinction between "biased" and "objective" sources. In this case, neither is the "original source," so both are equally valid. Thus, it's sensible to chose the less reckless one, and that is clearly Radley.
After dealing with different enterprise systems in AWS for a few years now, I'd say that this is what AWS ELB feature to remove a system out of an ASG as part of its lifecycle exists for. If you aren't using similar horizontal scaling strategies, you have a disaster waiting to happen basically and basically deserve an outage you can't diagnose / RCA well. If you can't ssh in afterwards that means your provisioning for automation / instrumentation and you should stay be able to isolate attention to that part of an instance's lifecycle.
I browse the site and copy the URL. Often, I'll copy the URL of a playlist, and use -A to download and number a series of videos.

Or, for something sufficiently ephemeral, I'll hand the URL directly to mpv and let it stream. Particularly useful if I suspect I won't care to watch the entire video. And I find mpv's player interface far better than YouTube's.

Occasionally I still use the browser video player as well.
You're right it is simple. Why hasn't anyone been able to get that across to Obama?
I don't understand your point. If I kill the only app using the gps, then I have turned off the gps hardware, haven't I? How much battery life have I saved if the gps hardware is off for an hour vs running?
I always wonder how hard it would be and just how effective it would be if it was done.

Sovereignty is a funny topic... If Apple "buys" a country with a land border the "abdication of existing government" could be considered by their neighbours over the border as grounds to consider the territory "vacant" ... If Apple "bought" an island nation or a country comprising multiple islands, then they would have to "defend" their new home from the newfound "enemy" of the USA ( and I hear the Navy is quite formidable ;-) ) who might be a little bit pissed off, or may just decide like to "consider" that Apple purchasing the country makes it not a country and they don't have to listen to Apple when they ask nicely not to enter their territory with aircraft carriers, or say ... submarines that tap into undersea cables...

Right now Apple has a fair amount of protection by virtue of being an American company, an American company that is also considered an American person with rights under the constitution, such as not being "compelled to speak", which is why we're hearing about this sort of possible change in tactics. The FBI can't force them to talk so they ask for the script so they can talk for them.
Tbh, Im not distributing anything, they are, I just hotlink the video file. Also, anyone using an adblocker is also doing the same thing, yet youtube isnt blocking adblockers.
I largely agree with you as far as rhetoric goes, but I think there are practical details of guns & encryption that matter in practice. First, guns are physical things where encryption is (largely) ideas. Second, the 'protection' offered by the two technologies differs. Guns offer a dis-incentive to mistreat the user, but do not directly restrict behavior when at rest. On the other hand, encryption prevents access even if the user is un-aware, but does not offer any method of 'active' defense (i.e. shooting at an aggressor).
It is also the freedom not to have your bank account looted. Or are you also planning to give up things like online banking?

The reality is the more you pass the keys to this sort of thing around the greater the risks.

EDIT:

Since I'm rate limited...

You do realize the Freedom of Speech was literally created to enable political dissent that used to involve criminal acts?

> The inhabitants of the North American colonies did not have a legal right to express opposition to the British government that ruled them. Nonetheless, throughout the late 1700s, these early Americans did voice their discontent with the Crown. For example, they strongly denounced the British parliament's enactment of a series of taxes to pay off a large national debt that England had incurred in its Seven Years War with France. In newspaper articles, pamphlets and through boycotts, the colonists raised what would become their battle cry: "No taxation without representation!" And in 1773, the people of the Massachusetts Bay Colony demonstrated their outrage at the tax on tea in a dramatic act of civil disobedience: the Boston Tea Party.

> The colonies' most celebrated seditious libel prosecution was that of John Peter Zenger in 1735. Zenger, publisher of the 'New York Weekly Journal', had printed a series of scathing criticisms of New York's colonial governor. Although the law was against Zenger, a jury found him not guilty -- in effect, nullifying the law and expressing both the jurors' contempt for British rule and their support for a free and unfettered press. After Zenger's acquittal, the British authorities abandoned seditious libel prosecutions in the colonies, having concluded that such prosecutions were no longer an effective tool of repression.
Good places to start:

- Wikipedia has a good survey https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_New_York_City_(19...

- later chapters of "The Power Broker" by Robert Caro

- Google around about the shift of shipping from Brooklyn/Manhattan to Newark

- Chekc out the Lindsay administration and crippling transit and sanitation strikes

- finance companies fled NYC from the 60s till the 80s. I read a good book in college about the reasons that I'll try to find.

The 1970s were a terrible time for NYC -- over a million people left. If you have ever driven up the Major Deegan expressway in the Bronx towards Yonkers/White Plains, the level of decay was shocking. When I was a kid in the 80s, easily 80% of the buildings were vacant, with broken windows and druggies in plain sight. I watched a car get stripped before my eyes while stopped at a light two blocks from Yankee stadium.
My experience says otherwise.

My goal is to use YouTube on an Intel atom single core netbook without waiting minutes for the video to load in their stupid DASH player.
Yep, totally broken for me on iOS.
If you use encryption, you are more likely to lose your own data.

It's much easier to blow away a LUKS header than an entire disk.

True, although the obd standard defines an interface and not an implementation. Which would make things much simpler. I hate to be a Debbie downer but it just seems impossible.
This comment is just... perfect
I lived in Seattle from 2000-2008. Rent (and property values!) went up by -- more than inflation -- nearly every year that I lived there. They skyrocketed by the end of that period. Wikipedia says the population grew by 8% between 2000 and 2010.

I'll give you that Seattle is more affordable than San Francisco...but it's also at least twice the land area of SF, with fewer people and geographic constraints. And the weather is...an acquired taste.

Correct me, if you think I'm wrong.
They absolutely can; the question then becomes how much they can do so without driving some traffic to secondary sites. Right now, YouTube enjoys massive mindshare; pushing ads too hard could cause people to start remembering that other video sites exist (whether for video hosting, or competitors for the same user attention spans like Netflix and Amazon).

(Also, I was using the phrase as a callback to the classic expression; I changed it to "intended behavior" to better reflect my intent.)
It started as an argument about terrorists (very few and rare) and now it comes out that it's about money and taxes (all US citizens) - thanks Obama!
why could this be so? just wondering
Right, in English one has some leeway for forging compounds, also. It's not nearly as prevalent of a thing in as it is in German.
That's the big problem. How do we address that? Basically society has to grow up. People and organizations and government will have to learn how to "respect" what's marked off, unless as defined by law, others have access to that data (access to which was available in the analog world -but which does not always match up 1:1 digitally).

It basically amounts to the same "respect" we observe when we don't break through people's windows (even though it's trivial) or how "super users" don't [typically] abuse personal data at companies, etc.
"Until recently, for example, Instacart showed a red clown face in the app of workers who had made errors, leaving it there to shame them for several weeks. Several shoppers said they were disgusted that a high-profile company would resort to treating them like elementary school children."

I can't imagine how management could have possibly thought this was a good idea.
Will that work? For some reason, I guessed the YouTube video URL was a function of the first two or three bytes of your IPv4 address, to prevent exactly this case. I did something like that back when I designed a CAPTCHA system for LimeWire.

(The LimeWire website only ran PHP (soft requirement), the credit card processing box only ran Perl (hard requirement), no shared network drive between website and credit card box (hard requirement), so none of the existing Open Source CAPTCHA implementations worked. So, I made the CAPTCHA answer a cryptographic function of a shared secret, the user's /24 network, and a user-supplied timestamp rounded to a 32 or 64-second boundary. Timestamps older than 15 minutes were rejected, and messing with the timestamp would mean that the captcha answer wouldn't match the image you were given. I watched an attacker solve a CAPTCHA for an IP in Virginia and a couple seconds later try replaying it thousands of times from an IP in England. A few IP addresses for US navy satellite ground stations in Virginia (NAT for tons of deployed sailors) had to be white-listed from the replay checker.)
"Works everywhere" except on mobile devices which is a major consumer of video today.

It's definitely an interesting ideas but a long ways away from being somethings the masses can use easily.
And as I said, if the ads die, they will charge for positioning in the search results.

I'm also pretty sure there are many ways to get around adblock, like rendering the ads on the server instead of a script tag.
The memory allocation feature feels more like it would be part of whatever memory allocation library is used than something that should be baked into the language. For example, jemalloc allows for the kind of alignment that is discussed here and is done at runtime, and doesn't require specific behavior from the lower levels. Any language is going to need a runtime because you can't put in every feature that every user will need, and a malloc doesn't seem like a huge issue, especially with one already written that an implementation can crib from.
Not necessarily more "abstract", but for various reasons here are more words imbued with double- or multiple meanings.

That and there's intrinsically more positional freedom for certain categories of words; e.g. Werdende in the above article is essentially the same word as the verb participle werdend, but placed in a position (that of a nounified adjective) which basically doesn't work in English.

The analogous construction in English would be "the becoming" or "the expecting", implicitly referring to a thing or person. Other than lyrical cases ("The Shining"), you pretty much wouldn't use that formulation in English.
I use the web interface and have a keybinding in my web browser to download the video using youtube-dl and play it in mpv.

If you want to completely bypass the web interface, you can subscribe to channels by RSS.
I can understand the policy and the action, but the notification should come prior to deletion. And possibly include a per machine opt-out for paying customers. (For the record I am a paying customer and have a couple old backups, but haven't yet run across this.)
Indie developers typically aren't interested in working at BigCorp, but perhaps for survival they could consolidate in to worker-owned companies.
They're probably taking a pretty long view on the cost savings and considering future expansion. Based on the article, I'm thinking Intel ate up some of the costs with this to recoup them with other sales.
I remember playing 'KOHCTPYKTOP - Engineer of the People' years ago, and loving it. I've also really enjoyed SpaceChem, Infinifactory, and TIS-100. All around very interesting and challenging games.
The top predator effect was noted by Aldo Leopold in an essay included in A Sand County Almanac, of the removal of wolves from wild lands especially through the American Southwest and West, "Thinking Like a Mountain". The collection was published after Leopold's death, in 1949, and so his observations and writing predate that.

Good piece in Nautilus, but it really ought have given Leopold his due.
Devil's advocate. Brandishing a firearm i.e. displaying but not drawing it could be considered an 'inactive' defense. Knowing someone owns an iPhone might dissuade one from attempting theft.
My last cofounder had done a ton of user testing on shopping-related behaviors, and it turns out you (and me, generally) are atypical.

He had one session where he told a guy to shop for something he was likely to buy soon. The guy opened up Google, searched for something, and said, as if sharing a secret, "Ignore the stuff in the middle. The really good stuff is here on the side."

That guy was odd in how excited he was, but most people are pretty happy to see relevant advertising when they are seeking something. E.g., Computer Shopper magazine was popular for years with the nerd set, and I have fashion-oriented friends who love getting the big seasonal magazines that are mostly ads. My dad hasn't bought a car or a house for years, but he still likes looking through newspaper ads occasionally just to see what's on offer.

It's definitely not my style, though.

Right to true encryption is tantamount to right to perfect privacy, including privacy for committing crimes. This has been the current situation if true crypto was properly used for a while but we seem to be moving into a world beyond that - where such crypto is available to anyone who purchases a mobile phone and configures a few options.

I believe (and I would assume you do to) that widespread encryption is the preferable choice over key escrow, but let's not pretend that ready accessible consumer hard encryption doesn't fundamentally alter the balance between government and its citizens (including in some morally questionable ways).
I'm not aware of unresolved bugs on TSM1. We have people running it at significant scale in production. You're on 0.10?

It's not rhetoric. I know people using it so it seems to me you're trying to spread FUD. There are still things we're working on, but we have many happy users that are operating at high scales.

I should also mention that almost all of them are doing this completely for free. Which is great. We want to subsidize our open source software
I understand your point. Mine is that if it were to become ubiquitous as Apple and others foresee it, it won't be just a few people or the paranoid or the ones who want things to remain hidden, but it will also encompass all the others who had no intention to keep things from others.

As personal computing continues the migration towards mobile devices and away from PCs, most people's personal data will be on systems where there is no way to get around a lost key. I'm actually interested to see how Apple plans to manage the accidental lockouts and data destruction when all of a person's information is on their mobile computing devices.

There won't be any "oh, let me take it to the Genius Bar" solution.
If Google/YouTube doesn't like the autonomy we have over the http protocol, then it should launch its own proprietary medium/protocol/platform for its ad-driven business. The web is built in a way that allows me to choose how I render content.
Yup, whenever it threatens the power of the priesthood / bureaucracy. The Roman Catholic Inquisition condemning Galileo for heliocentrism comes to mind.
We've got a while for them to figure it out. I don't see self-driving cars in consumer hands for a decade or so.
I have seriously been searching for something like this for years. Thank you for building it. Accuweather, Weather.com, and Weather Underground all have bloated, worthless interfaces that make me cry.
> to think the risk adblocking poses to Google's

It's quite staggering to think of the opportunity that owning almost the entire nascent micropayments industry would be.

Between Google Checkout and the size of their existing advertising infrastructure, doesn't seem a reach.

Content owners don't care if they're getting a check from people viewing ads, or people micro-paying, as long as the check is about the same size.
We are already engaged in so many of these that I fear opening a new front will cause integer overflow. Perhaps it would be better for publishers and consumers to find a way to transact in cash rather than eyeball time.
I've often wondered why the "two thumbs up" isn't really used anywhere that I've seen. It is a logical progression that gives more precision to the reaction.
