a little bit tangential, but is it known how received imessages are able to be decrypted on multiple devices?

if the sender's message encryption key is encrypted with my iphone's public key, then my iphone's private key is the only key that can recover the the key used for the message.

so then how can desktop imessage also recover the key and decrypt the message? it seems like either:
* private keys are shared between devices (doesn't seem good) * imessages are encrypted multiple times based on the number of registered devices the recipient has (plausible?)
People aren't "modulating their minds" in isolation. Drug use has an external impact on the families, friends, employers, and coworkers of those using drugs. Drug use affects the ability of drug users to abide by social norms imposed upon everyone. In a developed nation with a safety net, drug use might even implicate society's need to rescue those who can't work or fall ill from drug use.
You seem to be unaware, but just FYI, the strongest justice on this kind of privacy right and limited search and seizure is the one who just died, and the candidate being considered to replace him has a well deserved record of cozying up to law enforcement agencies - in particular in the way that the guy who just died found unconstitutional.

This doens't make sense to me. The FBI wants this precident, and they want it badly. I don't buy for a moment that they would back down here.

FWIW, this looks like it might only apply to games purchased through Oculus Home, the Steam equivalent for the Oculus Rift (or perhaps the UPlay equivalent). Games/experiences that aren't distributed via Oculus Home (SteamVR, Steam games w/ Oculus support, independently distributed games) appear to not be beholden to this limitation.
Agreed, in-so-far as any binary decision fails to capture all the nuances, there will be someone who exploits those nuances.

Ask HN: Critique my biz idea – local.menu the next Airbnb
Remember the days before Airbnb when their biz idea would have been laughed at? There are LAWS against renting out your apartment. In 2016 I think the world is ready for local.menu, the app that lets you rent out your kitchen to a restaurant for a night, your restaurant. i.e. you are allowed to cook for people in your neighborhood with no health permit / zoning laws issues.

It's very simple. A mom is cooking dinner for 4. She posts to local.menu what she is making and sets a 5 min time limit. She gets 3 hits in 5 mins of people close by that want an extra serving of what she is making. They come by her house/apt and get their food to go. The mom simply made 3 extra servings of what she was making for her family anyways. And the markup is crazy. She can sell her special curry for $30 a plate to hipsters that want good curry, local, and fast.

Go ahead. Tell me this will never work because it breaks some laws.
In this instance, Google is a larger, older company.

Or to extend the analogy, if someone goes to IBM as director for New Technology X, and then leaves five years later, what's the likelihood people in New Technology X Division are going to be able take his or her responsibilities over?

Big companies are big companies and they usually don't encourage or reward employees overly much for striking out in a brave new direction. Which is hilarious given that they'll continously try and hire exactly those people externally.

Though I suppose you honestly can't encourage too much rebellion when you make your money from a crank being turned (and happen to need 1,000 bodies to just shut up, turn the crank, and get paid).

There's been a really great pair of apps in Android for the last couple of years that handle "Night Shift" functionality.

The one that dims the screen further than the 0% brightness setting called Night Mode, and one that skews the colors to reduce blue light called Bluelight Filter.

Both work remarkably well together, and if your screen is AMOLED they even save you a little battery power.

It was discussed in detail here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11248320 but the TL;DR version, you desolder the NAND flash component (its holding all the secrets) and you copy the contents out. Then you attempt to unlock the phone 9 times, then recopy the contents of the NAND flash chip back into the chip, and do that again, and again. Until the phone unlocks and you have a look around.

Is it possible to screw that up and lose everything? Sure. Would they? No. Could you just send the data from the NAND flash to the NSA and have them brute force it? Maybe. Could you compel Apple to give you a copy of the source code to IOS so that you could write a simulator for yourself? Probably.
> They give us unlimited PTO,

This is one of the most pernicious anti-perks around. I'd like 12 months of leave at full pay thanks. This 'perk' actually ends up having the opposite effect. People take less time off because of guilt or lack of confidence in what is a 'reasonable' amount of time off to take.

Tell me exactly the number of days off I can have and make them no questions asked. That way I can clock out and forget that the office exists for 4 weeks or more. At my current employer I have 13 weeks of scheduled paid time off, plus paid paternity leave and 20 paid no questions asked sick/family leave days which roll over from year to year.

Unlimited PTO is a cold hearted, calculated sham which has been designed to screw you over [1][2]

The rest of the benefits you're getting sounds quite good.

The universities I know of that have free-tuition programs do phase them out gradually, to try to avoid too much weirdness that would come from a hard threshold. For example, Harvard charges no tuition to students from households making under $65,000, but above $65,000 tuition phases in slowly, reaching full tuition only at $150,000+.

However I do agree your proposed solution is better. Have universalist public programs that everyone can take advantage of regardless of income (tuition-free public university, no-charge public healthcare, etc.), and then instead of mucking with means-tested benefits and aid phase-outs as a way of indirectly taxing the rich, just tax them through actual taxes, the old-fashioned way.
I was a hot shot kernel engineer at Sun back in the day when Sun was like Bell Labs.

I specialized in performance which meant that if I showed up in your office you had a problem and I was the spotlight on that problem. And if you didn't want to focus 100% of your energy right now on that problem, I made sure that everyone knew that.

I was not well liked.

Eventually I grew up. People are people. They have jobs, they have families, there are all sorts of reasons that someone may not be doing well at their job. Yes, one of them is that perhaps they suck. But I learned that any well run company, it wasn't that they sucked, it was that they had shit going on in their life that was more important than their job.

This guy may have a point. I don't think his point is as valuable as the idea that maybe you should look a little harder to see why someone isn't helping as much as you want. That's empathy to me.
If stores weren't required by law to charge the same price to credit card users vs cash users, you would see most stores slap a 2-5% surcharge on credit card transactions, because that's how much they have to pay to Visa/Mastercard/Amex. Many people only use credit cards to get points, which is an unfair tax on customers who don't use credit cards. I find cash to just be easier to use, and I forego the rewards chasing. Once I pay with cash, I can throw away the receipt and not worry about the transaction ever again. No worry about identity theft. No need to check my statement every month and remember whether the transaction was me or not. Easier to split bills or pay people back. Knowing that more of my money is going to the shop keeper than a large financial corporation.

COM was popular, yes, but it was a nighmare. Remember all the threading models? Here's just a taste:

When a free-threaded apartment (multithreaded apartment model) in a client creates an apartment-threaded in-process server, COM spins up a single-threaded apartment model "host" thread in the client. This host thread will create the object, and the interface pointer will be marshaled back to the client's free-threaded apartment. Similarly, when a single-threaded apartment in an apartment-model client creates a free-threaded in-process server, COM spins up a free-threaded host thread (multithreaded apartment on which the object will be created and then marshaled back to the client single-threaded apartment).

I remember thinking I sort of understood this back in the day, but now I'm pretty sure I didn't.
Yes, the latter. They call it a "keybag." When you sign into iMessage on a new device, a new public key is added to your "keybag" and all messages addressed to your account are also encrypted with that key.

You get a notification when a new device is signed into your iMessage account. However, Apple could presumably suppress this notification when adding a law enforcement key to your keybag. In principle, devices sending messages to you are aware of this key (they must handle it) but because iMessage is proprietary, the user has know way of knowing.

In principle, iMessage's design but with open-source clients would be ideal.

There was much fan fare over all the technology Bill Gates put into his house. It was interesting to read, especially in the context of home automation these days.

I worked with people who helped Jim Clark with some of his home automation in the early/mid 2000s.

My point in general was I think the Silicon Valley elders of old, Grove, Moore, Packards (I know multiple individuals who benefitted from the Packard Children's fund w/ pre-mes. (sp?), etc. were much more community and outward focused than that which we see today.

There are people here and there, but a lot of what gets glamorized or talked about tend to be more selfishly oriented individuals.

Gates, early on, stated his kids weren't getting a huge part of his fortune, I consider his works on par (via the Gates Foundation) as those of the Packards. That said, the Packards have been very local vs. Gates more international (maybe it's need, size of endowment, etc).
It looks as if the Concorde was roughly $5K each way (or $10K RT) +/- in today's dollars--although I'm not sure a standard CPI inflation calculator is the best way to look at airline ticket price changes.

Given the existence of business class only BA NY to City of London flights, there probably is a market for expensive supersonic routes, but it's probably still pretty small. International lawyers may value the back and forth in a day, but most people who fly business/first are probably fine with comfortable seating and a nice meal even if it takes a bit longer.
Can you carry enough fuel to do a non-stop flight from NYC to HKG or SIN or SYD? (You give SFO-SYD as an example, so NYC-HKG should be possible I suspect.)
As the spouse of someone who was laid off as a result of a Valeant acquisition, I'm torn between hoping they go under and hoping they get a decent board/leadership and start making ethical decisions.

> The internet has already driven the cost of education to zero [...]

For things like CS, sure - mostly. Excepting for slightly niche areas like embedded programming, you can achieve similar experience for $0.

But for most other [engineering] degrees, this isn't true. You can't tape out a custom integrated circuit (IC) for free, but this is something some EE undergrads get to do at brand-name universities. Even the licensing cost of the software used to design those ICs can reach six figures.

I imagine there are similar things with chemistry, material science students and especially medical students.

But yeah, even in those other engineering fields, the internet has reduced the cost of education.

Oh, I guess the issue is the boom. What about flying subsonic over populated Canada, and then (slightly shifting the conventional NYC-HKG route) head over Hudson Bay to accelerate to supersonic velocity?

The return route is often done over the Pacific (because of prevailing wind patterns), so there would not necessarily be a need to sonic boom over southeast China.

I am totally impressed by the work 2ndQuadrant is doing: many of the recent innovations to Postgres have been done by them and all of that without any obligation for them to be doing so. The BSD license would allow them to add all of these things to a proprietary fork that they could be selling.

Or they could just release their own fork under an open license and focus on just adding features.

But that's not how they work. All of their contributions are pushed upstream which is a very considerable effort with how conservative Postgres is at accepting new functionality.

Aside of that: there are 2ndQuadrant employees in the #postgres IRC chat room, helping people with daily support issues. This is their core business and yet they still help people for free (within reason). This is bloody impressive.

If I'm ever at a point when I need help with a Postgres issue, then they will be very first of the list of companies I would consider.

Thank you very much for all that you are doing.
A few of the examples I saw were for people working in consultancies.

It's in the consultancy's interests to charge you out as a "senior", so they tend to push you up quite quickly.

But then when people leave the consultancy they don't want to drop from "senior" to regular, and they new employer says "what do I care, it's just a title", so you now you have someone with 2 years total experience, coming into a telco as a "senior engineer".

Now the people that have been there for 4 years complain that they're more senior than this new guys, so they get bumped to "senior" as well, but now the genuinely senior engineers want a new title, so they get to be a "solution designer" or something like that...

They do, they are also very cognizant of the ramifications if their motion is overturned. There is a constant calculus that goes on weighing the odds. It is very common to withdraw when that calculus indicates a possible loss.

"I think I should get the full Affordable Care Act subsidy regardless of my income"

I appreciate your sentiment, but you realize all of the insurance companies will just raise their rates by the amount of the subsidy, right? More demand in the form of government money earmarked for a specific good, with the same supply of the good, means higher prices.
Thinking about it and "second sourcing", it is funny how not that long afterwards they used marketing tactics like the 486SX/487SX fiasco to compete with AMD's 386DX.

That's a great question - when I was in the industry (back in 2005-2006) Harvard had already outsourced a large portion after their managers left. In many cases, the managers started up their own funds and then Harvard immediately placed money into them.

I think the answer may be that Harvard (and others) continue to see decent returns - the question is at what cost relative to managing it internally.
Frankly, I could have thought a bit more deeply before responding. Your meaning seems clear to me now.
