Ah that's a good point. My eyes are still at a point where one prescription works for near and far vision.

If it's an improvement it's an improvement and it might as well be as good as it can, but "we caught up to facebook messenger" doesn't feel that exciting to me.

I was really hoping for the iMessage on Android rumors to pan out, but now that they've gone and created an iMessage extensions system it seems a lot less possible moving forward.
Third party vendors doing sketchy stuff with shipping does not profit Amazon enough for this to be part of their overall business plan. 350k is definitely only a warning shot, but in this case, the interests of the FAA, Amazon, and public safety are all in fairly close alignment.

Ok, a couple of things. First, I found it really amazing at how convoluted Intel plotted their numbers on that latency graph so that it would "Up and to the right" which everyone "knows" is good.

The second thing is that Intel has been claiming multiple GB/second of throughput as well. They really do believe this will be a replacement for DRAM on some platforms. As in you read into your L3 case from this stuff and you flush to it when you write out a dirty cache lines. And while that will make the overall system slower, it gives it literally instant stop/start capability if the key parts of your architecture are static (can retain data at 0 clock). What that means is a laptop that can turn it self off between waiting for sectors to read in from the disk or packets to come off the network, or keys to be pressed by the user. Non-illuminated run times in days off of a battery source rather than hours.

Imagine a 1.2TB of this stuff on the motherboard substituting for DRAM. So you've got every application and all the data for your applications already "in memory" as far as the chip is concerned. App switching? Instant, app data availability? instant. Quite a different experience than what we have today.
What makes you say that? Why do you think this is rogue employee behavior?
These days, WWDC keynotes have the general public and media as their target audience.
The multimonitor support has fairly recently become passable. It's hard to imagine that it took more than a decade to do that. It used to be almost entirely useless. I think it's a case of overthinking it and trying not-to-be-windows that made it take so long.

I'm not sure it's correct now, but at least it's useful.

The Unix outdatedness is really annoying sometimes. I wouldn't even mind running some kind of big update after getting a new machine and waiting a couple hours for things to improve. The number of Macs I've seen with Linux VMs running on them just to get up-to-date things on them is really unfortunate.

But you don't have to bribe 100k people. You just have to bribe/influence 50,001 people (and I know that's not exactly true, this is based on a US two party system, not the variety of parties in the UK, but hang with me here.) And in reality, it's as the saying goes for Baseball. "Every team is going to win a third of it's games, and every team is going to lose a third of it's games, it's what you do with the last third that makes a difference."

Every party is going to have a large number of supporters and a large number of detractors, it's what you do with the unaffiliated votes that matters.

Now I'm really going to talk out of my ass, in a horrible, gross generalization with no support to back me up; I'd guess that for many elections, it's less than 20% of voters who actually decide the fate of their country/district. And since we're talking about voters (not citizens or residents/people), we're then talking about an even smaller group of people you must influence. That's why bribery, voter intimidation and pure old fashioned marketing matter; You don't need to get everyone on board, only a much smaller percentage of key voters. Isn't democracy great?

It's called frequency-shift keying.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency-shift_keying#Audio_F...

(The 0 and 1 version is binary audio FSK, but you could also choose to have more frequency levels, such as 4 or 10 or 20 different levels.)

People studying this don't usually distinguish between whether the waves are emitted into space as audio or whether they're encoded as electricity. The main reason for that is that we have devices (speakers and microphones) that convert directly between audio and electricity in both directions, so the design of a system that uses a wave represented as electric signals and a system that uses a wave represented as sound is "equivalent" in some way (even if they face somewhat different practical considerations, like different kinds of background noise).

Edit: oh, there's a more detailed Wikipedia article on non-binary FSK, called "multiple FSK".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_frequency-shift_keyin...

It gives some examples of practical applications of this (again, not distinguishing fundamentally between what kind of waves you use).
Here's a brief list!

* Wakeup.io - Simple Phone Wake-up Calls @ https://wakeup.io and it is fully automated and runs itself with actually really good profits. It was built in 2-3 days.

* GetProve, Simple Phone Verification @ https://getprove.com and it is fully automated and runs itself with again, really good profits. It was built in a week or so.

* Teelaunch, Kickstarter/Indiegogo Fulfillment Service (exited/sold) http://teelaunch.com (the site is different now than it used to be here https://web.archive.org/web/20140110204830/https://teelaunch...). As you can see from Wayback Machine, the site was just a landing page when I had it... took me day to put it up!

* Standard Signature, Email Signature Automation for Gmail Business @ https://standardsignature.com/ (built in 48 hours)

* Glazed, a Rapid MVP boilerplate for NodeJS @ http://glazed.io (built in a week or so, but this was work/thoughts accumulated over like 5+ years of hacking - this landed me paying clients, so I still consider it a side project)

* Asynchrosend, a MailChimp competitor (site is down now, but I did have paying clients and successful startups like Notehall.com had used it), built in a week in college!

* I have a bunch, at least 20 more on my list TODO still, if you want to build one with me let me know! I really would love to find super talented people, or people that are motivated. It's really hard to find good people if you know what I mean. I am not working on these right now though as I'm solely focused on one big project.

I have a bunch more projects I've built, that are also profitable that I can share. Email me and I can share more!

Update #1 - I really wanted to mention the most important thing about this. I read a Max Klein blog post that flipped the switch on me before to get into this hack and ship fast mode; it was something like build small little projects, but build a dozen of them. Once you build and release one quickly, it's addictive. You soon start to release more and more, and you get so creative and confident. You can literally build ANYTHING you want in a matter of days if you truly focus and WANT to.

Update #2 - I added a few more side projects since this topic is fun!

While the community will point out regularly that not all things can be bought for life, many can if you're willing to spend more upfront for higher quality. For example, spending $20 on a pair of socks with a lifetime warranty vs. $2 for a pair that'll last a year.

I also see Jansport backpacks and Craftsman tools mentioned similarly.
I really hope this is an Opt-In feature rather than Opt-Out. Out-of-sync iMessage threads, bizarre chicken-or-egg "Approve Keychain for this device from your other device" (what device? I never approved it in the first place - JUST STAY AWAY FROM MY PASSWORDS, I'm perfectly happy with 1Password + Dropbox sync), and my personal pet peeve is Spaces. I used to love OS X Spaces as with really easy to use keyboard shortcuts, Apple got rid of around Lion and replaced it with mediocre "workspaces" with very little keyboard friendly-ness - TotalSpaces helps fill the void, but once has to disable sip in order to use it.

I took a later version of this class and I couldn't get into it. I thought I'd love AI, as the idea is extremely appealing to me, but it seemed to be mostly probability and formulaic work. Which is fine, if that's the way AI is, but I would've preferred if they'd explained why the algorithms chosen are what they are, and how we got to them--and what other methods have been explored.

As it is, the class just skims over a variety of techniques and ways to implement them, lacking depth (such as what disadvantages and advantages there are in practice or where they have been used in the real world).

Because some apps create MyFile.txt and expect to be able to access it later by myfile.txt. Adobe's applications, for example.

I just wish there was some official announcement on the pm-utils list, and not just this "its dead Jim" on the upower list when people inquire about continued support.

As for people still reporting bug, that does not contradict my mention of "maintenance". Pm-utils may well have been feature complete, and whacking bugs introduced by new hardware would then file under maintenance.

All in all it feels like non of the decisions are being made on the lists, and rather being decisions either via direct emails or via corporate channels.

It's common on Craigslist amongst the spamming services [sic] like Resumator, Sourcery, etc. Furthermore, experience has taught me that any time I see a job ad on LinkedIn that says, "Apply on Company Website," I assume there will be a tedious form to fill out (not to mention account creation).
Aye, but on newer mac keyboards it lacks the symbol. So you have that funny symbol in the menus, and you're supposed to divine (you're a new user, remember) that it means "option" with no visual similarity.

You don't sign the whole image as a stream, and you don't sign every block. Recursion is your friend! You sign the Merkle tree root, check it once, and then check O(log n) hashes per block access. You can, of course, amortize the checking of the first several of those hashes as a further optimization that ties in easily with your caching layer.

There's no such thing as "the block doesn't decrypt" absent MACs/MICs or AEAD schemes -- encryption and decryption are just maps from N bytes to N bytes.
There have been some pretty successful attempts that were called modems. They really caught on in the 90s.
...and that's why it's a bad idea to separate QA from your dev team. In the long run, everyone would've been happier if his role on the dev team had been to automate the tests and then continue to work on more interesting things. If he and his company had taken that route, he'd be a very well-qualified and well-paid senior engineer right now.

Does that revoke all tokens (shared "nonce") or update the token on next authentication? Would this "nonce" be stored in the database?

That's optimistic: https://github.com/akagadovskiy/ng-admin-jwt-auth/blob/maste...

> > but without the battle-tested implementations.

Battle-tested implementations have dealt with (at least some of) these threats previously. New approaches often miss the lessons of past efforts, leaving themselves vulnerable to old attacks.
Even moving a small amount of counts can affect the market, because there is no real anonymity: people watch the large wallet balances and large known holders for signs of coins moving to e.g. an exchange.
Good catch, but it was actually over audio signals. Sound was just for monitoring.
I should mention I was using x86. My initial assumption was that the kernel simply references the robust list (even if it was initially entirely resolved in userspace), and yields back to the interrupted thread -- I should emphasize my test showed the kernel breaks into the lock and presents a semi-coherent as-is structure entering and exiting the handler's lock. Of course this is all way way UB for portability or complex structures indeed...

So therefore it's a question of whether Google or Apple get to muscle their way to influencing the eventual W3C standard, by deploying a pre-standard implementation. Same difference in my view. Yet somehow Apple is smacked down for it?

It couldn't because FAA strictly forbids mixing of cargo with the one attached to a flying PAX.
I am really curious about which software stack (especially the backend) you are using to iterate this fast
I imagine this was a 'fulfilled by Amazon' order. That is, a 3rd party vendor shipped the product to Amazon which sold and shipped it.

As to the parent's comment, Amazon sees a huge part of it's business moving to this area, it's not just noise. Amazon wants to be a logistics company, not a store.
If you're willing to delve into the fun world of CRLs you can sorta do it. This isn't truly stateless of course, but for some design constraints it could be "practically" stateless since you're eliminating auth server round trips, which is probably why you were aiming for statelessness in the first place.

CRLs of course introduce lots of replication complexity and timing bounds to consider, and you probably want to pair them with short lived tokens to keep the CRL size manageable. (and then delve into refresh tokens)

As the OP points at, you most likely don't need any of this.
Yes you can. The system I built uses a revocation list (propagated to all servers in the cluster) to invalidate the session.

Just as if you were storing state on the server, it still requires a means of propagating the user's state to every server. But we only need to propagate a single ID once per session (at logout) instead of propagating all the session data to all the servers on every request.

"This points out a fundamental problem with programmable financial assets: there are so many degrees of freedom that it's difficult to compare asset prices and perform arbitrage. In fact, I would not be surprised if the developers purposefully made their contracts complex to discourage such comparisons. Additional complexity also makes it difficult for the investors to figure out what exactly they are buying. Why should someone who wants to exit a crowd-funding vehicle follow a weird software engineering pattern that is tantamount to buying a timelocked asset? What exactly happens to the reward tokens of The DAO through splits? Why is this stuff so needlessly complicated?"

This sounds all too much like Paycoin. Paycoin was a competitor to Bitcoin, but it was much more complicated. There was a claimed guarantee that the price of Paycoin would not fall below $20. (The current price of Paycoin is $0.01212923.) There was a connection to a Bitcoin mining operation, GAW miners. There was BanxShares, which was some kind of derivative based on Paycoin and backed by a porno site.[1] There were ZenCloud and PayBase. There was a Paycoin Foundation. There was supposedly a reserve in US dollars backing Paycoin.[2] There was a "Hybrid Flex Blockchain" to provide faster confirmations.

The result was a disaster.[3]

There's a long history of complicated Ponzi-like things. Sergei Mavrodi did it twice, once in the 1990s with "MMM" in Russia, [4], and again, after doing jail time, as Bitcoin-based "MMM Global" in the 2010s.[5] MMM was a combination lending network, pyramid scheme with a downline, and Ponzi. It collapsed both times, of course.

I use option and control all the time for muscle memory keybindings, but every time I see "⌥" or "^" as a shortcut in a menu, I need to check which is which. After all the time I've spent on cli, you'd think I'd have "^" memorized by now, but for some reason it doesn't stick.
I'm having trouble parsing the concept of an "isolated team" at a company like Microsoft, especially where a major OS revision is involved.
Honestly, depending on what your use is, even their older MBPs are still fantastic. I have a 5 year old pre-Retina that I've used and abused heavily during its entire life, maxed out the RAM and put in a massive SSD, and it's still running perfectly and works great for what I do. A newer, faster computer would honestly do nothing for me, so I stick with this. I've replaced a fan that died, the battery, and the keyboard, all for under $150 combined, and it's good as new.

Maybe that's why Apple decided to make their newer computers harder to repair…

Oh, I'm sure my problems are related to the USPS and not Amazon -- one of the lost packages turned up a week later from a neighbor to whom it was misdelivered.

Amazon has always been quick to ship out replacements when I reported the missing packages (even when the USPS said they were "delivered"), and even for the one that was re-delivered by my neighbor, when I reported to amazon that I received it, they said I could keep the $10 item, no need to return it.
