Make them wish they never made such a stupid law. Maybe then they will learn how important encryption is.
I had a very similar experience when I was very young and had been sent off on my bike to buy a couple of baguettes.

I must've looked totally bewildered; I remember just repeating the phrase "deux baguettes, svp." every time the guy said anything.

Fortunately a kind and patient lady in the queue behind me explained that he was telling me they had none left!

I fled the shop as quickly as I could with a "merci beaucoup" - as if I was kidding anybody by that point that I spoke French!
I agree. I think all that's changed is our idea of what content is. The mediums have increased.

Many of those tests are actually more likely to generate false positives than false negatives; I had our home tested by a professional with XRF gear, and his tests indicated much lower levels of lead (late Victorian house, so we knew we had some) than the swab tests suggested.

The main problem I see with this concept is that lead levels vary throughout living spaces, so you would need multiple samples. I'd think multiple, labeled, swab cloths would be more effective from a testing perspective.
No. They really don't need anything that instantaneous. The center of gravity of the rocket is _very_ low. The rocket is basically a bunch of really heavy engines and a couple thin walled propellant tanks. Those tanks are very close to empty at this point (the heavier propellant, kerosene, is in the lower tank).

It's quite stable. The welded shoes are just a 'belt and suspenders' approach.
We'll know that ad supported content is dead when AOL, or "Aol.", or whatever, and Demand Media, go bust. They will not be missed.

Micropayments are going nowhere. As I've pointed out before, the enthusiasm for micropayments comes from people who want to collect them. There's very little consumer demand for the ability to send somebody a dime.

Subscriptions work only for very high quality content. The Economist, yes; Wired, no. Newspapers with big reporting staffs, yes; pundits, no.

The trend we're seeing in advertising is that only Google and Facebook really matter to advertisers. The third-party ad industry is mostly bottom feeders, and it's getting worse. (See earlier article today about Forbes distributing malware.)

You agree to the terms by using the Service - not when making an account.

I think something could be said about how an agreement of that manner is not legally binding so you can ignore it, but IANAL. Just a faint memory something from the legality of TOS and maybe I'm not remembering it right. I place my confidence at 85% for "not legally enforceable".

It has to be brought to your attention and usually that step is when creating an account.

I'm also not sure if "please do not use the Service" is equivalent to "you may not use the Service". It's a request, not a demand. But I'm not sure if that sort of pedantic attitude would slide in court.

Regardless - Google/YouTube aren't enforcing this so I don't think it matters from a legal standpoint - just a moral one.

>By using or visiting the YouTube website or any YouTube products, software, data feeds, and services provided to you on, from, or through the YouTube website (collectively the "Service") you signify your agreement to (1) these terms and conditions (the "Terms of Service"), (2) Google's Privacy Policy, found at http://www.youtube.com/t/privacy and incorporated herein by reference, and (3) YouTube's Community Guidelines, found at http://www.youtube.com/t/community_guidelines and also incorporated herein by reference.

If you do go into acquisition mode, I'd take a good hard look at their numbers. My pessimistic point of view is it'd be next to impossible for you to verify anything, even if you were Chinese, without some inside information. The protections you're used to just don't exist there yet.
The point here is that this should be more technically difficult to do, or some human should be involved. It looks like one of the root causes is that the server-side validation isn't comprehensive enough. That part should be fairly easy to fix.

You can look at the legislature like a biological ecosystem subject to evolution. The natural selection force that acts on it is election ("natural election"?). Legislators who do not get elected do not survive in the ecosystem.

That means the direct evolutionary pressure is for legislators who focus on re-election above all else. Any actors who have different priorities are quickly outcompeted and kicked out of the gene pool.
Bla bla bla ... it should be understood by now that Apple don't care about these niche markets and will do whatever they want.

The only people using Apple workstations are because they either really want to use a MAC or because the software they use is not available on PC. In both cases they won't buy a cheaper and faster PC.

I'm a disgruntled Apple NON-customer : they never created the desktop I wanted (basically an affordable version of the old MAC pro line) or a phone I could afford without having to sell a kidney on the black market.

That's very true, I think there's a window of opportunity when a new device/technology becomes mainstream before it becomes commoditized/cornered by a few big players : thinking of the web, then mobile, now the app stores are saturated and very few people can make money from them. VR might be the next wave (although plenty of false starts in that space).

This +1000. The guardian, a paper I used to buy regularly, has transformed itself comprehensively into a hell of lazy ill informed clickbait, uncritically repeating unsupported conclusions from nonsense science and refusing to differentiate their serious analysis from crappy user generated content. Now I can't even bring myself to pay the 3 quid a month subscription even though the crossword alone would probably be worth that.

We shouldn't. Ideally, intra-city transportation would be handled by public transport, plus a bike in some cases. Cities could (and should) be similarly interconnected.

In a sane world, cars would be niche. So one answer could be, "because the world is insane".
Although the stems are ok and related to other French words (camping -> camp, campement, camper ; parking -> parc, parquer ; flirting <-> conter fleurette), I think what can shock the purists is this ending is -ing which does not sound French at all and is not grammatically French.
The French verb "épisser" is an old verb that means "to splice", and actually comes from middle Dutch "splissen". Épissage is just the noun form of it. It's as natural for French speakers to use "épissage" in the context of RNA splicing as it is for English speakers to use "splicing". Why would they borrow a word from English when they already have a perfectly good one?

TBH it's very lazy of them to just copy your fairly standard bootstrap design and generic lighting bolt logo. If they just used some other similar template and chose some other logo but otherwise had the same business, they would be your chinese competitor vs. your chinese clone.

Maybe the most efficient measure you can do with your scarce startup resources is to treat them as a competitor and enter the chinese market earlier if it's practical.
If someone makes their own VRBO or AirBNB website for china and choose to make their own logo and standard web design, are they an AirBNB clone or competitor?
Yet another reason to hate the San Francisco City Government -- they killed DriveNow SF by refusing to issue a (fairly common in most cities) bulk parking permit to BMW DriveNow (basically, all the cars would be bundled into one account and would pay parking tolls collectively -- either based on estimated usage or observed usage.)

Not sure about Nigeria but you can absolutely seek legal recourse in Romania, Bulgaria or Chile with the aid of a local, English-speaking lawyer. All of these countries have well developed legal systems.
I've taken to just telling my boss whether I think something is 'just work', 'tricky' or 'hard'. And about howm much of that he's asking for,

Just Work: Means are the pieces are there to do whats wanted.
Tricky: Means I need to create something from scratch or modify two or more modules.
Hard: Anything to do with timing, interrupts, or that involves re-organizing swaths of unrelated code.
Hard2: I have to learn a new language, frame-work, microprocessor, etc.
Right now I only have some UI sketches on paper and the idea of the implementation written in a google doc, but I probably can make a digital UI sketch and link to that later
As an advertiser, yes absolutely Google and Facebook are king. No one else even comes close to touching their level of audience segmentation, results reporting, and knowing that their inventory is good from both a viewability/advertiser standpoint as well as a half decent customer experience standpoint.
Is this still an issue for you? It would be interesting to discuss a solution.
And yet that was the article the author valued enough to bother fighting through the adwall for. Everything else on wired was really bad
Just a small point about micropayments. The current system is not micro. Micro is hundredths of a cent or less. At that price point it might be possible to use them. Sadly not even bitcoin (afaik) can handle such transactions. Transaction costs are too high under every system. Even IBM's research- a few years ago, bottomed out at 25 cents.
I also did a slightly less ambitious build myself, my craigslisted Mac Pro only had the single CPU tray, so I have to be content with a single hex-core upgrade (and only a single GTX 750 Ti SC). 32GB of ECC is nice, but the lights flicker when it powers up, which makes the lower-power Xeons look appealing.

We need a Netflix for content. You pay a (reasonable) monthly subscription and they pay each content provider depending on number of views.
The former should be public, while the latter should be commercially driven as much as possible.

I think there's a recipe for consensus building here. Granted that you'll never be able to pay for universal health care by eliminating public research grants, but there's got to be some lobby money coming from medical R&D for policies like this.

As for Marx and Smith, the statement is not just about efficiency, but also oppression. Forceful intervention into an economy is oppressive and inefficient. Impoverished workers operating in unsafe conditions are both oppressed and unproductive. These are obviously blanket statements that require nuance for specific situations, but that's basically what I was getting at.

I'd personally like to see an environment where initial risk is taken on by the capitalist, and as a venture matures, ownership gradually passes to labor. When you think about it, it's not too far off from what we have now with the Seed -> VC -> IPO cycle.
>Since when did being patriotic become offensive?

Since the SJWs and identity politics erased all common sense.
Politicians aren't idiots. Neither are they Machiavellian schemers. They are just in a situation where supporting bills like this are all upside and no downside.

If this passes and five years later computer security is swiss cheese, politicians know that most people will blame the computer companies and vendors not the government.

If this fails due to tech company opposition, they will get to avoid any criticism for not preventing the next terrorist attack. Instead they will simply find one encrypted iPhone and blame Apple.
Let's be honest, why they shouldn't block adblock? The ads bring them money. And they need money to survive and, if they lucky, develop. The writers have families or plan to have ones, they need to be rewarded for their work. It may be their main or only source of income. Now, if they also provide a valuable information for you, I think that trying to trick them into giving it for free (ad free) is wrong. I think and it may controversial here, but every valuable site that lives on ads should block adblock. And don't get me wrong, I actually use adblock myself, but I'm more than happy to add exceptions for the sites I need or value.

Patriotism is offensive iff it becomes jingoistic or if it comes at the expense of a global humanistic perspective.

> Stop wasting time searching Google Images

I don't think there's much of an advantage in development time to find, download, and implement this over doing the same with images. That's an odd angle to take in the opening paragraph IMO.

For me, the attraction is purely at 'runtime': I'd much rather serve a font over someone else's CDN than a bunch of images on my own host.

Plus, if the companies' logos/fonts change; I trust the community to be more on top of patching that than me noticing and grabbing a new image!
Agreed. Those familiar with encryption understand that a single security incident resulting in the theft of such a backdoor key is all it would take. The attack would cascade to any company that implemented the library.
Author here. Usercorn at a basic level is like qemu-user in that it can load a userspace binary like ELF, MachO, etc into a CPU emulator and provide a syscall emulator interface.

It's built as an API that allows instrumentation of the resulting binary. You can hook instructions, basic blocks, syscalls, memory access... You get information like stacktraces in a cross-platform manner. There are helpers to compute and display diffs of memory and registers throughout execution.

There are many differences from qemu-user:

--

Usercorn attempts to emulate several OS/syscall ABIs all from one binary (Linux, BSD, XNU, CGC, more to come like Redox, maybe weird stuff like Windows and DOS). qemu-user just translates arguments to your host kernel so to run a Linux binary you need a Linux host. qemu-user also has a different binary for each arch, like qemu-i386 and qemu-arm. The primary usercorn binary can emulate every single supported OS/arch combination and aims automatically detect the correct arch/kernel when you run a program.

Usercorn is being built as a framework around the Unicorn Engine. It's not just a way to run a binary on the command line. It can be loaded as a library (`NewUsercorn("binary").Run(args, env)` will run an arbitrary supported app). It allows hooking many things and I've been building a lot of features around static trace/analysis. I'm extremely excited about some of the features and supporting tools I have planned.

This twitter thread shows examples of a tool called imgtrace I built with Usercorn. imgtrace can visualize memory writes done by a program. The Hilbert curve view of MD5 is nice, as it makes the memory containing the internal MD5 state as well as the iterators very obvious at a glance: https://twitter.com/lunixbochs/status/717945725024280578

The underlying code of imgtrace is also extremely simple (basically all of it is to create the image data), which shows off the power of Usercorn's simplicity: https://github.com/lunixbochs/usercorn/tree/master/go/cmd/im...

Usercorn is much less mature than qemu-user. It supports around ~50/400 Posix syscalls and is missing many architecture-specific features. Some architectures still need work on memory segmentation and thread-local storage. I've split up functionality internally in a way that makes sense, but I'm still building the base functionality and haven't designed the public API at all yet (even though it's possible to use Usercorn from external code, that's just happenstance due to the functions/types I exposed while building it).

----

Architecture support is tied to Unicorn. Usercorn supports x86_64 best, and has various levels of support for ARM, MIPS, sparc, and m68k.

It's still very much WIP, but can run many binaries at this point, even Linux binaries dynamically linked to glibc. Host support is best on OS X and Linux. Guest support is best on Linux.
No, absolutely not. I'm tired of this stupid conversation. The answer is always no.
Not sure if I'm missing something but from the plain reading of it it's not that funny of a joke.

It is much easier for 'bottom feeders' to exist outside of walled gardens (e.g. Facebook, Google). That doesn't mean that most of the 3rd party ad industry are 'bottom feeders'.

The negative side of ads is much more pronounced amongst the 3rd party ad industry because there are easier attack vectors in the open market than in walled gardens. There are large 3rd party channels that have clean inventory, honest clients, and perform well for advertisers (Taboola, Outbrain, Criteo, AdRoll, etc).

merely log transports, which overlaps with rsyslog.

Yeah; that's the problem...you can make, with tons of effort, a fairly decent system to tell robots and humans apart, but it's much much more difficult to tell humans trying to do the thing directly from those solving the challenge remotely. It's an arms race of economics; the challenge has to be difficult enough that it slows down humans in sweatshops to the point where it makes the whole enterprise not worthwhile for the abusers while not pissing off your actual users. It also has to resist automated malicious use. Quite a tall order.

The best I've seen are the "which of these photos show mountains"-type challenges. I'd imagine that solving 5 rounds of those would take too long to make it worthwhile for spammers, but I'd also imagine lots of legitimate users getting irked at going through that to fill out a form.

Of course it is. Once you give me a newspaper I can cut out the articles I want - format shifting if you will. I simply can't duplicate them.
