Typically we don't want the userspace to be compromised at all. An antilogger works by effectively substituting letters as they are typed. So when I type 'A', it is read as A in the kernel, but backspaced, replaced by a random letter, and then the real `A` appears on screen by means of hijacking the input form.

For the pedants:

Some more advanced antiloggers are minus ring-0 and physically remap the keys so that `A` doesn't mean A at all. Infact if I typed this, a load of garbage would be displayed on the screen. The only reason we see valid output is because of a software abstraction layer translating the 'garbage' back to it original symbolic meaning. This is how we thwart such a kernel logger as described in this thread.

I run cPanel (Graphical User Interface Linux Server Administration) on my Virtual Private Server and just love it. It makes things so much easier. I can just focus on programming, and not system administration. So to answer your question: I wish every hosting option had something like cPanel!
I would agree, I find there are some that love to sort of just run around with a version of "I follow my instincts and thing turned out great, damn its good to be me!"

That's why I encourage people to actually keep track of such things and treat it as a single data point.

I would also say there is a difference between listening to your experience/confidence and listening to your ego. A lot of good things can go wrong because of Ego.

Yes, women realistically do experience a lot more sexual violence than men, so it is not an unfounded worry; but as ordinary and normal and safe reproductive courtship entails a lot more approaches to women, the physically smaller nurturing gender, by men, the larger more aggressive hunting gender, such examples of deviant and opportunistic sexual violence can be seen to "come with the territory" of our evolutionary history. It's nice to imagine that we as a social species could have evolved past this, but in studying our history on the scale of hundreds of years rather than evolutionary scales of thousands of years, and in studying works of scholarship such as the Selfish Gene by Dawkins, one may not be at all surprised that we are where we are, but perhaps by continuing to educate one another we can takes steps to make all people feel, and more importantly be, safer.

The reason I felt it necessary to add the "context" to your statement is that our world consists of many many interacting postitive and negative stochastic processes, and when we look at a simple "violence" statistic it might seem "oh, this is terrible, we must stop this" when in fact things are much more complex than that.
One of the many interesting things about this project is that it's a reminder how people often take for granted the miniaturization of these things (the micro- part in microprocessor). Had we not got the realized size down into the sub-micrometer scale, we would have been forced to contend with heat dissipation making it impractical to increase the performance to what "we're used to" these days.

Now that Intel and others are facing issues at ~5-10nm scale, we will be facing a similar "clock" problem again. There are a few paths forward including: i) smarter microprocessor design tuned to intended application use, and ii) increased parallelization of tasks across multiple cores/cpus/machines.

Edit: nanometer -> sub-micrometer

I meant the whole idea of relatively floating comparison - you can't see the size of the change, just jump over it since the text on both sides is continuous. If the lines are added, then there should be a gap on the opposite size, with fixed text-to-text relation.

That, or it's a peculiarity of my perception.

I think an analogy more in line with the parent comment would be - if you tried to sell 30% of Apple stock in a single day would the dollar collapse, wiping out all remaining shareholder value.
This is the top comment in this thread at the time of this writing, and it's armchair opinionitis at its best. Put your money where your mouth is if you truly believe what you are saying. Until then your "setting in stone and stating for the record" is completely meaningless.

For one thing you haven't considered that this might be priced into their P/E ratio, unlike most other growth tech companies. If you were a "gambling man" this would be part of the equation in deciding if they are over- or undervalued.

They may end up creating and operating corporations, but DAOs are their own thing.
Babel with zero configuration does absolutely nothing.
I'm not sure the "Just You Wait" is without merit, just taken longer than thought... I'm not sure why... given the transitions that have happened through process advancements the past 6 years or so, we now have CPUs that burst to higher speeds very transparently, and at really low power compared to a decade ago. While not suitable for phones, Intel is a pretty great choice for laptops and tablets (OS concerns aside).

I do think that ChromeOS (or whatever it's called) offers a distinct difference to most users from what Windows is. That changes things up a lot.

I feel that within 4 years, Intel will have some competative x86 offerings compared to ARM... On the flip side, by then, ARM will be competitive in the server/desktop space much more than today. It's kind of weird, but it will be another round of competition between different vendors all around. I'm not sure what other competitors will come around again.

That's not even mentioning AMD's work at their hybrid CPUs... also, some more competition in the GPU space would be nice.

It really reminds me of the mid-late 90's when you had half a dozen choices for server/workstation architectures to target. These days, thanks to Linux's dominance on the server, and flexibility and even MS's Windows refactoring, it's easy to target different platforms in higher-level languages.

There will be some very interesting times in the next few years.

So from this study you cannot conclude that, in general, smoking pot does not affect your driving skills.

>This changed in July 2015, when the ethereum network went live.

I know the term exists and I know people are operating as though it is a thing. But if you and I enter a contract whether it is a written agreement or a smart contract on Ethereum network, that has no more or less bearing on the legal enforcement in the event of a breach. In either case the non-breaching party must file suit for the breach and there must be a finding of fact, and the smart contract does not replace the fact finder in a court of law any more than a traditional contract.

I know you don't speak on their behalf but DAO has raised $100+M and the answer to a simple tax question is just wait? That is my point, investments are inherently risky, but when the most basic questions regarding operation and governance can't be answered that is a red flag.

I just looked at Apple's 3 year. It seems to dip and rise significantly. Maybe BH thinks that this is the bottom of a dip. I guess we'll see, but I can't remember the last time I was excited by an Apple product. They seem to be graying faster than expected as the mobile revolution evens out.
This has zero to do with the value proposition of the stock. AAPLs P/E is below 10 at this point. They have about 1/3rd their value in cash alone, which means their actual P/E is even lower. It doesn't matter if grandmas are using Apple products, they are a seriously good-value stock.

Thanks for your work on this swills. It's much appreciated.
People can decide that someone 20 ft away from them is "creepy" without ever even interacting. I think it's much more broad, closer to "you make me uncomfortable in a way I choose not to analyze". It can sometimes be a really unfair reaction to a totally innocuous person's appearance, sadly.
They made several attempts (http://www.cnet.com/news/intel-sells-off-communications-chip...) but I think Intel has a huge cultural problem that does not allow for true innovation outside of core competencies. I worked for the Marvell group and while Intel did not know how to be nimble Marvell had there own issues which is in part (IMHO) why blackberry lost its leadership position. But the biggest problem with Intel is the culture as you are truly just a cog in the wheel there. Just my $.02

I don't see why this is any more likely with a Google project than a similar project from any other firm (a Google project is more likely to be discontinued while Google is still a going concern than offerings most other firms, but only because Google is likely to be around longer as a company.)

Here's Intel's problem (and my apologies, I'm regurgitating a study I read a couple years ago and I can't find a link.)

Basically, Intel needs to sell huge numbers of chips in order to make their numbers, ie giant investments in fabs, work. While Xeon may generate all the profits, they still need to sell millions of low end pc chips to pool costs. If that stops happening, even assuming they sell the same xeons for the same prices, the R&D costs to make those fabs eat them.
Flag responder: please tag with "auto-play video" or whatever.
History is not the strong suit of this site's readers. Yes, Intel was selling ARM CPUs into the mobile market (Compaq IPAQ, Sharp Zaurus, etc) when Apple was still making pink iMacs.
Apple is a 10 P/E, FYI. And their earnings are GAAP, unlike their "growing" peers.
Well... on the one hand, 50% of Canadians live south of Portland OR. On the other, the Toronto-Ottawa-Montreal corridor that contains most of those people is notable for sever swings in temperature. I lived a little ways northeast of Toronto for a few years, and survived temps of -20 and 38 C.

Also, as with many other social sciences, p-significance through correlation can be mistaken for causation. What if the real reason is higher income or stronger combination of genetic factors that correlates with multilingualism
No, it didn't. Cadillac didn't suddenly become unappealing to young people just because old people like them.

They became unappealing because they were simply unappealing to young people and there were more appealing options for young people.

Android has yet to produce anything that even remotely resembles a more appealing option to these demographics. Apple is an expert in "hip." If you have an Android and your friend has an iPhone, you know that your messages are showing up green whereas everyone else's are showing up blue. This lack of totally 100% superficial conformity alone means that Android has a monstrous hill to climb with younger people, e.g. the people who care most deeply about acceptance amongst peers.
This all assumes that Apple, who has a solid history of product category pivots, has no plans, ambitions, or interest in entering new markets. Remember how saturated iPods became? Remember when it seemed they were running out of colors and ideas for new music players? The answer was iPhone.
In terms of a threat model, it includes any machine which acts as a hypervisor and as the old saying goes: If you don't trust the hypervisor, how can you trust any machine running in that hypervisor?

Antilogging is but one tiny component of defense in depth and worth investigating if you're doing anything interesting with a computer. 'Doing something interesting' although is not to be misconstrued as 'doing something bad'. It just means how can any meaningful work get done if low hanging fruit like keystrokes can (and are) being siphoned off?

It helps to see how machines are actually being compromised like this...I've seen it on my machine and sometimes entire office building are being siphoned like this. I typically report this, but I would much rather get to the root as to how it's possible in the first place :(
What phone is "hip"? Phones might have reached the point where there isn't going to be another big paradigm shift anytime soon that changes the ways phones are used like the iPhone changed things.

So Apple (and Samsung, etc.) may have exhausted a lot of the growth opportunities in the mobile market, but there are still other markets for them. Apple didn't even have a phone product 10 years ago, so it's hard to say what their future endeavors will be.

Betting on Apple doesn't mean betting solely on the iPhone.
I've driven high plenty of times in the past (not anymore though) and the issue is not one of reflexes or judgement, but attention. Being high makes you really easily distracted, and, in my experience, more likely to take your eyes off the road for longer periods of time. That's where the risk comes from.
Huh? Laws operate within countries. You can't file (or even defend against) lawsuits in a country without being "present" in that country.
> Does that mean Apple is worth less than its market cap?

Yes.
I didn't realize the P/E was so low. Sounds like a bargain.

Edit: They're paying a modest dividend as well. AAPL is becoming more of a mature stock, but that's not a bad thing.

That's really an issue with most luxury car brands, they become associated with old people because that group can more readily afford them. A $600 phone is attainable by most age groups, so I really don't see the same thing happening.
> Nobody thinks it's ok to drive with a BAC of 0.4 but 0.04 is generally considered legal.

Not sure how you come to that conclusion. I think it's reasonable to assume it's legal because most people (including me) feel it's fine. I'm much more concerned about distracted driving generally.
This is really cool for all of us in the Ethereum space, and as mentioned before, I'm a part of the Augur team which is a dapp on Ethereum.

I did sort of see this coming eventually as Augur, Digix as well as Ethereum itself have been really successful using this method. It's a pretty cool way to fund open source projects and I think with something that incentivizes contributions like Code Valley there will be a boom in these projects.
I think there's a difference in your example, though. When a poor person grows to become a well-off person, they can still have an identity crisis as they come to terms with the culture clash of their old way of life [and friends and family] and a new environment surrounded by the well-off. They'd be more satisfied with what they have, but still depressed for other reasons.

It's better to take your original example - Grandpa vs Me - as the lens for the original survey. They had way more serious problems to deal with over a long period of time. We've had a recession and fairly progressive politics that has improved the lives of many (though at the same time making life worse for non-white and low-income people).

I also like to consider how biased these surveys run by "App" companies are. Consider all the people who don't have smartphones, or don't have the leisure time to fill out "happiness" surveys - like most young black Americans, who will disproportionately be more worried about getting shot by police, going to jail, making enough money to pay for food/"the poor tax"/teenage families/housing/etc. They're lucky if they make it to their late 20s. Or being classified an illegal immigrant, and therefore having absolutely no rights but still needing to make a living to support yourself and your family. So some may be unhappy, but for radically different reasons than those polled, like systemic racism, voting restrictions, lack of protection of human rights, or the oligarchy of the super-rich continuing to grow a larger lower class.

However, in my experience the mandatory field gets useful feedback about 90% of the time and the other 10% are just people entering something to complete their cancellation.

You could make it mandatory till you get a handle on what's gone wrong then leave it in place as an optional field once things settle down.
