I read a fair bit of non-fiction but found that book terrible to read. It's not his fault. It's an academic book written in French that just happened to take off.

It's also clearly an important book.

This is a bit of a PR issue as well. I think most people don't know that when they pay more for a genuine charger, they are getting value for their money.

I think most people feel like Apple is ripping them off on replacement chargers. That's why many people will still buy chargers with an obvious flaw like a plastic ground pin. They just think it's not quite as nice as the metal version but still works fine (they probably don't know the pin is for grounding at all... or what grounding something even means).

An irony is that people do trust they are getting value Apple's expensive primary product (iPhone, Laptop, iPad...)
I wonder if that's linear or exponential decay. (It's hard for any user to stick around long enough to notice the difference...)
I wouldn't say pointless. It wastes an attacker's time if nothing else, otherwise you're essentially allowing that attacker to continue interacting with your server, and perhaps SSH isn't their only target.
I believe the accuracy you want depends on the coupling faces of the magnet. If you have 3 or more 'spots' that match up of equal size and mirrored placement, I'm quite sure the alignment would continuously be sub millimeter, but this assumes there's no external force on the magnets since an inward force could create substantial friction to keep the alignment from being perfect. Likewise with a lateral force.

If you want it to be less accurate and leave some room for error then I'm sure you can offset each mirrored 'spot' off slightly in different directions so they're all equally lop sided with respect to each other.
Sure they are still liable. To minimize their liability, their design had better be pretty damn good (close to safest possible).

I would argue that the Apple design also has to be close to the most reliable possible design, since a high failure rate will will encourage people to buy questionable aftermarket devices.

I would also argue that Apple should not try to make a high profit on safety critical devices for the same reason.
"The airship, which cost £25m to build, can stay in the same spot for three weeks and can even fly with bullet holes in it.

"The US Army ran out of money to develop it as a surveillance machine, so the British aerospace company behind it bought the rights back."

Sure doesn't seem like a lot of money to the US Army. Or did they spend an untold amount on equipping it with surveillance technology?
Yes, it is. And that was just a simplified example. In practice if you were running something you were very distrustful of, you would block access to almost all of its file access. You also wouldn't leave it running for long enough to feed it enough keystrokes to get you into trouble. But even if you did, you would catch it with all the file opens (and network connection open's) before it could transmit your keystrokes and get you into trouble. In practice many file open()'s are required to perform any function.

Radio is extremely cost-effective in reaching a large audience, and the equipment's pretty bulletproof. NPR's current CEO, Jahrl Mohn has made this point in interviews.

A 100W trasnmitter can cover a small town, 1 kW - 50 kW is (very roughly) the range of many larger FM stations, and can reach an area 100-200 miles in diameter, though usually less given geography and competing stations. Doc Searls (an old radio head himself) fairly frequently posts stats about various stations, and their reception areas.

The best thing about broadcast is that more listeners don't cost you, and there's no last-mile problem. It's particularly well-suited to mobile uses (especialy cars).

The downside: what's on is what's on. This increasingly is my frustration, and the more I'm used to on-demand services, the less viable I find this. There are alternatives, such as a DVR type service which records over-the-air broadcasts for later playback, and there are some concepts along these lines, though most prove pretty fickle and annoying, with little uptake.

I suspect there'll be a place for radio, though that may shift a bit with time.

It's difficult to know why anyone laid out a circuit one specific way, especially without a complete schematic, layout, and a few hours to think about it. It may be that this design was the only way to fit the circuit into an already designed enclosure, or it could be that this was done for some sort of manufacturability reason, they may have also had some issue with noise and done this to shield some part of the circuit. In addition, though the design may not meet the UL standards, it might be good enough. UL standards are neither necessary nor sufficient to guarantee safety and reliability.

I find many of the OP's criticisms to be rather facile, and would prefer to see this 'counterfeit' tested to failure, with the results compared to a genuine Apple product. Armed with this comparison, we could judge whether the cost savings were achieved wisely or through foolish design.

Any reader of hardware teardowns should remember that the majority of people writing these pieces have never designed a challenging, original circuit; almost all of them are just implementing designs given to them by IC manufacturers in 'application notes'.

Thanks. Yes, the goal of the step-down on the cable end is to improve the strain relief. I tried earlier rigid solutions, but found that they soon frayed below the fix. My attempts with tape started out well, but eventually the tape would slip and the heat shrink would slide down. The silicone tubing has more "grab".

I think you are visualizing it correctly. Let's see if I can replicate it with ASCII art (not to scale):

------------------------------
==========================******************
=========================*********************
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++*********O********
=========================*********************
==========================******************
------------------------------ ****************
****************

- layer of heat shrink ------- Rigid Connector

= inner layer of silicone =********************
+ Thin frayed Apple cable ++++***color O led ***
= inner layer of silicone =********************
= outer layer of silicone =******************
- layer of heat shrink ------- ****************
****************

It comes out looking quite nice. The rigidity of the tubing plus shrink wrap isn't a problem if you plug in so that the rigid part is along the side of the laptop. It actually provides a fairly nice handle for unplugging, since you can get good leverage anywhere along the shrink wrapped portion.

I believe one explanation for this may be that even if you think you've been up for a very long time, you will still have unknowingly experienced some microsleep states.

Animals in studies seem to die after around 30 days (which I think is longer than any scientifically verified claim made by a human?), and also may even have microsleeps prevented, depending on the experiment.

Humans may also have some rudimentary system of "local sleep". Some other animals have much more sophisticated systems. Basically, parts of your brain might "sleep" and become inactive temporarily, while others are still functioning. I don't think there's any hard evidence of this in humans yet, though.

Also, the longer you stay up, the less aware and cognizant you are, so you might even doze off for an hour or so and not actually realize or remember it. I imagine the people Nova reported on were studied and confirmed not to have actually napped, but it probably does apply to many people who give personal anecdotes of staying up for more than a week.

The only cases of a human truly "never sleeping" are from fatal familial insomnia, I think, and it is as fatal as it sounds like.

So, I suspect if an experiment really kept a human up for a month and prevented microsleep, they'd also die. Even if they didn't die as a direct result, their immune system would be so compromised that they'd probably die from a pathogen pretty quickly.
Likewise. Wonder what the mental processing explanation is for that.
Well clearly the US was trying to influence Cuba with the embargo... That is the purpose of an embargo, to influence another state. I am not saying that is a good thing, just that clearly that is what they were trying to do.

And since they were trying to do that, I think they could have done it in a better way.
> it should have to use the same interface that a human uses.

Yeah, I've followed Starcraft AI automation for a while. The people programming these AI systems have basically been creating individual unit AIs with a tiny bit of latency.

It's cool to watch but absolutely does not advance the game theory of Starcraft. If you actually had to ration moves, they would have to come up with quite interesting systems. I'd be fine with something borderline impossible like 500 APM - as fast as you can physically click buttons with 10 fingers. Not 2000 APM.

My hint would be: before decentralized worms, there were IRC hubs. The 'owners' would typically use their native language for the various commands (I know English is used in more than the US, but..). Most of the time, they wouldn't even hide their host name on the IRC server.

I guess from a 'being legal' POV: anyone could infect themselves with the same root kit that's on a honeypot and find out quite a bit about the organizers.

Then they moved to a temporary location next to the garbage transfer station in San Carlos, and membership went down. Then they moved to a third location in Redwood City, and, a year after the move, some of the walls are still just plastic sheets, some of the machines still aren't connected, and they lack facilities they used to have, such as an area for spray painting.

She doesn't care about it. Which to me means (i.e. is caused by) "doesn't understand [the need] for it".

She probably says things like "it's fine, it's secure enough".

I have a hard believing anyone would understand it and still not care.
Maybe a nit, but spending more on health care doesn't mean there were not "real wage gains". The wage gains were real, and people spent a big part of those gains to get more healthcare.

Another way to phrase it... If health spending had stayed constant since 2001, how much less "care" would the system be providing right now? All that extra spending is not pure waste, I'd love to see some hard studies on how much "waste" has increased and how exactly do you define it?

If you meant "economic gains" as-in healthcare's share of the overall pie has increased, and so healthcare as a sector of the economy has seen an outsized share of gains, that is definitely true.
That's still in its infancy. Future results might counter what we figured out. The certified compilers are nice for subversion-resistant development but not running untrustworthy code. There's significant difference between their models and the software/hardware combo actually running.

Better route was started in Burrough's where you pick a language good at correct programs and carefully design a safe machine around it. Same with System/38, SAFE (crash-safe.org) for functional, and Cambrige's CHERI for C language. The fundamentals work as advertised along with ability to enforce arbitrary security policies. Then design and security stuff are built on that. Only thing known to work consistently to any degree of success.

On COTS hardware, separation kernels and compiler transforms on legacy code are about best that we can do.

Um. I guaran-damn-tee you that the router in question was compromised within a day or seven of it being stood up.

The default credentials on every bit of UBNT hardware that I've used grant access to both the web UI and admin SSH access. So, the access attempts that WillieStevenson has noticed coming from that IP are most likely coming from the router itself.

I can't see any reasonable reason for redacting the IPs that are making those access attempts, and I see no reason at all for redacting static, factory default usernames and passwords.

This is incorrect as Starcraft has a much larger playstyle diversity than League. Every league game follows the same structure: with very high probability, one player will be top, one middle, and two bottom, with one jungler. Teams will farm with occasional gank attempts until the midgame, where there is a slow transition from farming to objective taking and teamfighting. This is relatively formulaic and easy to learn. In contrast, from the start of the game in starcraft, players can choose from a wide variety of strategies, ranging from early rush strategies (with low and high-tech variants), harass-and-expand strategies, greedy expand strategies, and safe expand strategies. Also, it must also construct a prior over strategies for its opponent that changes by map, as map properties change the viability of certain strategies.

Your example of script-users not attaining high ranking in online play for league of legends is also misguided. Because the action space in league is so much smaller than in starcraft, it is much easier to develop an AI with game strategy competency for league. Combine that AI with perfect mechanics, and human players should be falling very readily.
