The way to blow this wide open is to catch Intel's "management engine" doing something really bad and publicize it. It could do for Intel what John German did for Volkswagen AG.[1]

One approach would be to build some honeypots likely to attract attention. Give them a job that's not too traffic intensive but is suspicious, such as encrypted IRC. Record all traffic in and out of the box using external hardware. Get them fake encrypted traffic from suspicious sources (Tor, strange sites in suspicious countries, etc.) Wait for strange packets to show up that are not meaningful to the host software but cause something to happen on the target.

If they don't like it, they can stop producing.

But I'm guessing they're not quite so willing to give up all the other freedoms their money grants them.

Not for free, but you are provided the right to have access to the service information. I'm not as sure about the software tools angle (which is another giant loophole, if unaddressed). It seems that those need to be available on fair and equitable terms (but decidedly not free).

The language of the law is here: https://malegislature.gov/Laws/SessionLaws/Acts/2013/Chapter...

That strongly suggests that you would need to sign a confidentiality agreement as a tools vendor to gain access to the protocol information.

Well, it seems stupidity abounds in a lot of countries when it comes to copyright. The supreme court of Sweden just ruled that taking a photo of a piece of public art (as in art in an open and public space, not even a gallery or museum mind you) and posting online infringes on the artist's copyright.
The cost of a phase change wallboard has to be weighed along with heating and cooling costs. In any case, gypsum is dirt cheap, as in literal dirt might be more expensive per ton. A material just 5 times as much as dirt cheap is still rather inexpensive. The costs will still be dominated by the machinery binding the material into a wallboard, shipping, and the installation labor.

And as you say, asbestos was a disaster. But building codes did not prevent diseases from an unforeseen inhalation hazard.
EME is just Flash 2.0, only it's even worse, as it relies on architecture specific binary blobs being sent to your browser and running in the (privileged) context of your graphics card driver. At least in Flash, the Flash VM could theoretically have provided some degree of sandboxing.
To me, a UI Designer is someone who is mostly concerned with look & feel
and aesthetics, whereas a UI Developer is concerned with behavior and interactions. The former focuses on CSS, colors and graphics whereas the latter focuses on JavaScript. There is obviously overlap but the two roles tend to be very distinct.
Given that the tagline for the project is "Fusion Reactor for Rust," I'd guess that the project's name is designed to read to English speakers as "Tokamak" while maintaining a "Russian flavor."

EDIT: Not being a Russian speaker, I completely misunderstood this comment -- I apologize for my blithe ignorance.
Kind of, because they're still making buttloads of money. I also don't know offhand what percentage of stock Bezos and Co own. Google is able to get away with a lot of this because 1). They still make buttloads of money, and 2). Larry and Sergei own the majority of stock (at least I'm pretty sure they do).
That's what mutt is. You can compile it with support for imap and smtp, and most packaged versions of it are built that way, but the traditional way of using it is just as way of reading and sorting emails. Fetching emails from the server is done by a POP or IMAP agent (I use offlineimap), sending mail is handled by an smtp agent (I use msmtp), composing emails is done with $EDITOR.

I don't think that mutt is the most unix-philosophy-aligned MUA possible, it feels kind of like GNU tools: unixy, but jam packed with too many flags and options and convenience features. The unix philosophy would prefer that the application's design be changed to better accomodate implementing those extra features externally where plausible. But the perfect unix MUA would do the same things as mutt.
if you haven't already, have a look at w3m [1] or similar. I use mail cap to route emails though w3m and it's pretty rare that I notice anything amiss.

Well, you can't always know the lifetime of an object until runtime, especially in multithreaded situations. There are plenty of reasons to want to work on being able to determine object lifetimes at compile time, but I don't think that work would actually replace what a GC would give you. I think the future will likely be some combination of both.

Certain people are gifted with the ability to "kiss up and kick down" their team, i.e., kiss up to those they need to impress, and for anyone else that is less valuable, "kick them" or treat them with less regard.

I'm familiar with SiC in the form of grit (grinding agent, looks like fine-grained sand) when I'm making telescope optics. It's extremely hard, and it grinds glass better than anything except diamond.
>A big problem with crowdfunding is that many backers don't seem to understand the risk they are taking on.

That's because Kickstarter advertises the potential benefits and buries the risks.

If you read their KS page [1] it states: "Pledge $185 or more: COOLEST COOLER: Get your very own COOLEST, complete with blender, a waterproof Bluetooth speaker, USB Charger and all the other awesome features. You will be saving $115 off of the retail price of $299. (Just watch people flock to your gathering when you're the only one with a powered blender and thumping music!). You'll also get the COOLEST Drink Guide and all our updates. (add $15 for shipping)".

Now, you and I know that means "maybe", but does the average backer? I don't think so - honest. It says, right there, in black and white, if I pay $185 I get XYZ. Sure, it says maybe not in the contract, but who reads those? Don't forget home loans in mid-2000. In that case, you heard "HOMES FOR $899 A MONTH!" not so much about the adjustable rate and the potential to collapse your living situation.

Doesn't change the question. Why would you be implementing this in HTML instead of doing it as a regular app?
True, though investors often discount cash on hand ("a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush") because of the uncertainty of ever seeing that money. YHOO is probably the easiest example as of late, with their massive goodwill write downs of acquisitions. So the act of either a dividend or a buyback removes that uncertainty and can result in an increase in per share value.
I'm curious about the following:

Here's how Java allocates an object of size N: round N up to a multiple of 8 bytes, and bump the allocation pointer by that much. That's it. By using a scheme called a thread-local heap (TLH), there is no contention between threads. There's some additional handling for large objects, and for the case when the TLH is exhausted and another one must be allocated, but generally speaking, the GC is self-tuning so that none of these activities appear on the hot path of an application. The overhead is generally negligible, and all you're left with is the pointer bump.

What is to stop someone from implementing something like this in a C library? It sounds like it could be relatively easily done... or is it the TLH that causes issues?
> sure bet

No one is a sure bet, as evidenced here.
I wonder how much did Benioff being on the board have to do with this?

Oh, yeah, Sweden got that too. A "nice" organization called copyswede that tries to claim that all digital media is used for storing music, so we must pay a tax, per MB, for all storage media. The irony of it all, since Spotify, a Swedish company, we're not even storing music anymore.
and frankly a system with "all kinds of performance problems" sounds like incompetence

long-lived garbage generally doesn't need to exist

Wonderful. It's not the GC it's you who's incompetent. Or maybe you're competent, but your app simply doesn't really need to exist. A more complete shit-HN-says comment I couldn't find if I went searching for it.
> points 2-4 apply just as well to the UFO reports

> mysterious objects in the sky that never quite manage to show up on photos or radar

You are quite right to refer to UFO reports that came from highly qualified pilots, etc. Those were reports made by highly trained professionals, with lots of detail, etc.

I would counter that by saying that pilots in that era were encouraged to report any strange/unidentified experience. So they genuinely reported anything that could add weight - either for or against - such as lightning strikes, odd cloud formations, odd solar events, etc.

And those UFO sightings were specifically things that, despite all the detail, were, by definition, not identifiable. And given the description of most of the objects, they would have expected them to show up on radar (given the described size, and the understanding of radar at the time…it's quite possible that a combination of new stealth technology and the era's radar limitations obscured this possibility).

The main difference is that all of those phenomenon were unidentified: the pilots never had sufficient detail to match their evidence to a real-world experience.

I'm sure that during that era there were also all sorts of airprox events that were recorded, but didn't necessarily have all that much follow-up since, simply because the circumstances were clear and identifiable.

In these drone reports, the pilots have clearly and succinctly identified the issue.

It's one thing to report vague lights, and suggest it may be a UFO (because there's nothing to identify what Flying Object might be causing the lights); it's a very different case to very accurately describe a drone, report it as a drone, and have strong correlation with other reports of drone flights near that airfield.

I really wouldn't give too much credence to the lack of photos or radar.

As mentioned before, the dimensions of most drones preclude detection on most radar (not that they can't be detected, but that most radar systems will filter them out as noise), and the fact that almost all commercial jets don't have a set of dashboard cams, that gives enough reason to understand why there isn't an overwhelming wealth of evidence for drone airprox events.
"Gifted"?
Still lacking a scalable server implementation, though.
Have you tried Nuclide? It has good remote project support since FB web engineers have to develop on remote servers.
Well part of the point is that they won't be quite so stressed because their needs are met.

But more importantly, what exactly is the alternative? Do you think alcoholics are going to magically get better when we take their money away? They need treatment.
You know what? Maybe they do, in the larger sense of "search engine".

But if we make the definition too generic then folk will start naming Bloomberg and LexisNexis and you and I, being two guys called Jacques who remember the late 90s, will wonder how these companies wound up in the same category as Alta Vista, Lycos or Excite.
My own idea of the Unix ideal—I don't know how it accords with others'—is that there's nothing wrong with having an umbrella program that brings many pieces together, as long as those pieces are modular.

That is, I have no problem with being able to read, write, spellcheck, and sign an e-mail, manage my contacts, and back up my archive from within a single program; but it had better be true that, if I want to use vi instead of Nano to write my e-mails, then I can force the program to respect this wish.

(As is probably apparent, I'm a Pine user by experience; I've never used Mutt, but would like to give it a try.)
They don't need universal with the App Store. App Store submissions must be in bitcode, allowing Apple to recompile on their end

If I got the patched file that I made for 10.x, got it working again, generated a patch and threw it up as a gist would that help you?

I would struggle to trace the steps where I got the file initially; I'll see what I can do. Basically, trying to make heads or tails of the licensing issues surrounding it, especially given the fact that I don't remember many of the sources, is where I struggle to know what to do to do the 'right' thing.
I wonder where Salesforce is going to integrate MetaMind's technology. From afar, the overlapping use cases aren't obvious.
If this is so true, then why don't the complete the task and spin the company off and hold a controlling share?
We already have housing as a service (eviction is close enough to shutting down, so it has that to).

It's not so bad, people generally understand the implications of renting and there are laws protecting their rights.

I wonder if people were clearer that these gadgets were unlikely to stick around for 3 years if they would buy them at all.
Minimum Wage, Maximum Automation
> Honest at the what cost, though?

Good question. What is the cost that you're talking about?

Speech has intent behind it. Peatmoss' comment doesn't seem intended to hurt anyone. It seems intended to drive home the unfairness that they (peatmoss) witnessed, and to remind us that racism is still a widespread problem. I don't think that a bowdlerized version of the comment would've had the same impact.
I'm sure an egalitarian Arab would support democratic revolution by the people. Having foreign nations invade your country claiming to be bringing democracy on the backs of tanks and in the fires of bombs is not the kind of revolution that works, as Iraq and Afghanistan are continuing to show us.

It takes the blood of patriots to fuel the fire of democracy, not America's endless military industrial complex coffers.
This will be nice to have available in the OpenStreetMap editors. <strike>A little old, but better than nothing.</strike>

$3000 is a new set of wrenches. Definitely not nothing, but very much achievable for even a small car shop.
That's a key thing too that things like Wi-Fi lightbulbs and crud can't offer: Your light switch should still ALWAYS work like an ordinary light switch!
> If GaN were going to replace Si (it isn't), this
> isn't how you'd find out.

I think the generalized form of this statement is under appreciated. In my experience it is common for company leaders to always position their company's products as the "next big thing" and it is never this sort of announcement that makes it the "next big thing" or even foretells the next big thing. So often the actual next big thing sort of "explodes" into your consciousness as "everything" is using/employing/copying it. And following back the bread crumbs to the first mentions, rarely include a lot of pre-press on how good its going to be.

That said, GaN power transistors are a thing. They were used in the winning inverter contest Google ran[1], I've played with some samples from Mouser [2] and they really are amazing. I thought IGBT transistors would replace power MOSFETs but now I'm pretty sure it will be these bad boys.

Let job owners to decide is their work worth the cake or not.
I sympathise with the general sentiment but most of what you're saying about BI and NIT is simply incorrect.

> The advantage of basic income is that no matter what you do you still get that money

Only a minority of people would get money. Because if you get $10000 (basic income) and pay $20000 (taxes), you're not actually not getting money.

> A negative income tax isn't the worst idea, but it has all the wrong incentives. The more money you earn, the less help you get.

Well, obviously, this is also true for basic income. Most people with jobs would not get any help, they would give help. Welfare works by income redistribution. You take money from one part of the population and give it to another part.

As for incentives, that's the thing that NIT does right. It doesn't have the "lose welfare when you start to work" problem.
I warned said user in advance, told them why I was selling it, etc. But they're a Google Developer Group leader and such, so they're kinda baked into the Google ecosystem. Who am I to argue? If he wants it, and I want to get rid of it, there's a deal!
