Nobody's going to invest money into flashing each device with an individual cert just to protect against an attacker MITMing a home user's home wifi network to turn off a lamp. And you'd have to bundle your own whole TLS stack and browser with the app just to get the CA validated; that's a lot of extra software engineering.

If the user really cares about security enough, they can buy their own real TLS cert and install the cert on the brick.

JavaScript Performance Updates in Microsoft Edge and Chakra
GitLab 8.9 released with File locking and Environments
We bought a company, and that company had a technology that was based on the JVM. We were on .NET.

The domain dictated that we needed a 'heavy lifting' framework like .NET or the JVM.

We did also work with Ruby, nodejs, and Go for certain microservices.

So now, decision making time:

- Do you reimplement in .NET ?
- Do you live with both .NET and JVM bases?
- Do you migrate existing systems from .NET to Java?

The .NET system was aging in any case, people needed a fresh breath of air, and it was nice to get rid of all of the Microsoft licensing and closed garden. It is then when I decided the new-gen stack would be Java8 and Kotlin, side-by-side. Kotlin was (and still is) amazing.
The basic principle of both points above is that "problem finding" is the hardest thing in "real research", so a lot of things need to be done to help this ... (this is a very tough sell and even "explain" today -- almost everyone is brought up -- especially in schools -- to solve problems, rather than to actually find good ones) -- and virtually all funders today want to know what problems their fundees are going to solve - so they underfund (to the point of 0!) the finding processes ...

The ARPA/Parc process "funded people, not projects" -- and today this seems quite outre to most.

As you probably know, Jonathan is doing some work with us ...
"What does TV advertising get replaced with?

Snapchat. Recently, they’ve been injecting ads into their stories (these clips are on average about 10 seconds). A few things I found interesting about the implementation and observing others interactions with the ads:

1) At being 10 seconds, the ads are relatively short and contextually relevant. They flow more naturally in the stories than a television ad in linear programming. There’s likely strict quality control being enforced by Snapchat. It will be interesting to see them scale this.

2) As a user progresses further along in a story, does a user become more invested in the story (this is a thread of related snaps that Snapchat curates) or are they more likely to bounce before the end. In television, you’ve got the hook of the narrative keeping the user until the end. That would dictate ad placement. Recently Snapchat has done something interesting to combat this: giving the user different story paths to go into (from a given story point).

3) Most importantly, as a user, you’re able to skip the advertisements if you want (and go on with the story). This creates a pressure on the advertiser to create engaging and contextually relevant ads. The feedback of length of time played, number of times skipped, etc all create signals on creative performance (historically difficult to judge on television as it’s not an interactive medium).

This is markedly different from the typical television advertisement. There’s the element of engagement of the user (skip or stay), the constrained view time, and constraint of being relevant to the surrounding content. This creates a competitive pressure that television ads haven’t faced.

Edit: This isn't to say that Snapchat is final platform for this medium of advertisements. These learnings (and more) will likely be applied to most social networks that enforce constraints on short-form video advertisements.
Thinking a bit bigger — when do we stop involving pilots in commercial aircraft flight? Much like trucking, flight is something computers can do very well.
From a mathematical point of view, one must be very careful, and we have abundant evidence of that.

However, we are fully justified in saying that if anybody came up with a mathematical system in which 2 + 2 != 4, we can dismiss it without having to do some sort of deep analysis of it. 2 + 2 = 4 is obvious. We can literally do it with 4 little objects right in front of us. If we can not accept that as obvious, we are hopelessly ignorant and have no reason to trust our fancy proofs, either. (Italicized to emphasize my main point.) If you can't trust that, you certainly can't trust the significantly more complicated number theory axioms do anything useful.

Note that 2 + 2 = 4 carries some implicit context when we say it without qualification, and subtly sliding in a context change is not a disproof. 2 + 2 = 1 modulo 3, but that's not what anybody means without qualification. Clearly we're operating on "the numbers I can hold in my hand" here, or some superset thereto. Note how I'm not even willing to say "the natural numbers" necessarily; it isn't obvious to me what some billion digit number added to some other billion digit number is. It's actually crucial to my point here that I'm not extending "obvious" out that far; I can only run an algorithm on that and trust the algorithm. But I'm just being disingenuous if I claim ignorance of 2 + 2. And being disingenuous like that tends to turn people off, and doesn't encourage them to try to learn more.
Will there be soft start, and if so do you count that as another feature?
This is actually a good thing. Surely any opinion that a "sock puppet" holds is one that some actual tax-paying citizens hold. They are in effect protecting the minority opinion-holders by letting their arguments see the light of day.

I love how headlines like this are supposed to incite anger and fear.

The article mentioned nothing about manipulating "social media" (like reddit or HN as the headline would lead you to believe), in fact it mentions that none of the correspondence will even be in English. All this is is creating fake personas on extremist/underground forums as a source of intelligence.

To anybody interested in ESP8266 and JavaScript, shameless plug: https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose-iot

It can also be used as a replacement SDK for C development. In addition to the stock ESP8266 SDK it offers a filesystem, configuration infrastructure, async networking library (using the github.com/cesanta/mongoose networking library), OTA update support, coredumps, easy to use toolchain based on docker, improved (faster) flashing tool. And you can also enable the JavaScript scripting engine and script your firmware.

We're also supporting other platforms such as the cc3200 so it will enable you to easily change the target; some platforms are good for prototyping, some are better for production; often it's impossible to choose wisely at the beginning so it's nice to not require a full rewrite of your logic.

Of course I didn't intend that, and the conservative thing seems to be to just put it back where it was.

Your description seems pretty tendentious, though. That comment neither "point[ed] out that [tptacek] was being untruthful" nor "prove[d] that the accusations are false". It just linked to an earlier spat.
"Isn't the current theory that all life on Earth has a common ancestor? Wouldn't this point put that into question"

Not really. For one thing there's too much commonality across life in terms of things like the genetic code, i.e. what a sequence of genetic letters "means". The genetic code is arbitrary but essentially universal with minor variants.

For another thing, the organisms now present can be separated from each other by as much as 8 billion years of evolution (4 billion on each branch) meaning there's no particular reason to expect some shared gene to be present everywhere. New genes arise as mutations from old ones, old genes become obsolete and get removed, etc.

It's vaguely like how, if you fork a coding project, and the two projects are allowed to continue indefinitely, eventually there might be no code in common, even without a complete rewrite ever happening.
You happen to be wrong, I am a counterexample (I don't eat soy, and yes, for moral reasons), but I won't explain, because I don't have to. And what I am saying is that I shouldn't have to.

Ah, if the US military could distinguish the world's good ideas from the world's bad ideas, we could just discard all that messy democratic discussion and debate and just get our ideas from them. But somehow, that sound like a, uh, bad idea.

Thing is that the methods of propaganda tend to lean on psychological manipulation more than rational arguments - it's effective and the military is generally tasked with persuading people of whatever idea their superiors want to forward and there might not be any rational argument in favor it. One can consults psy-ops manuals and such for confirmation.
We're extremely excited about this release and happy to answer any questions you might have.

Ah, I meant to add to my list of bad practices sticking the same cert on every device. Sorry. To be clear, I'm saying you got me on that one. I missed that.

Of course, one person steals that cert and they've cracked the system wide open. But that's the default case for crap crypto anyhow, so what's the difference, except you spent about 10 minutes in the shell and passed some parameters to your library instead of spending.... well... anything more than 10 minutes futzing around with AES and RSA and so on?

Also, while I understand your use of "nobody" in the slangy English sense rather than the strict mathematical sense, I would point out that as these devices get more sophisticated, eventually they tend towards a manufacturing process that will do something to each one in the factory anyhow. For instance, if you're doing any sort of burn-in testing you've already done the vast bulk of the hard work it would take to also use that time to stick a cert on there. Yeah, your cheap knock-off Wifi light won't do that, but as the industry matures I think you'll see practices that would permit certs without much additional work.
I use a Lightning camera adapter (USB port) to an external DAC and headphone amplifier. It gives me the best possible sound quality, since the audio is pure digital until it hits my DAC, which, I can assure you, is much better quality than any internal DAC included in a smartphone.

Personally, I don't really care about the headphone jack because I never use it. I will admit, I'm different than 99.99% of other users.
I am curious to find out how many reports they got from riders who saw the researchers. I know that if I saw someone releasing gas like in the picture in the article, I'd quickly find someone to talk to about it.

That said, hopefully they can validate models which will provide optimum locations for detectors, as well as action plans once a detection occurs, such as kill all cars near the detection and change venting airflows.
I've heard that the high pitch noise multi-rotors make is primarily from the motor ESCs, so those could potentially be made more quiet.

Yes. And you can bet anything that the US government wants to manipulate it (or at least monitor it), especially with the general disdain of the NSA and their operations or comment threads about certain political articles.
Putting aside whether how we want to define "science" there are models which attempt to represent the underlying system (e.g. generative grammars) and other "models" which merely try to predict the input/output behavior of those systems (e.g. neural nets). The latter typically doesn't lend any understanding of the underlying system (e.g. we don't understand much about language from a deep neural net translation system), which isn't surprising because they are designed for prediction not for representing the internal behavior of the system.

To use one of Chomsky's examples, if you built a deep neural net that could predict the weather with 100% accuracy then you have performed an amazing feat of engineering that is incredibly useful to the world. But you haven't necessarily learned anything about the weather.
Hosters lately seem to resell CloudFlare for DDoS protection https://www.liquidweb.com/services/network/ddos.html

And that's where I don't fully agree. There are many projects licenced under "GPL v2 or later" and they don't need copyright assignment. Copyright assignment is huge and opens the door for way too many legal stuff.

Also Copyright is a pretty US thing. Law differs and many Countries don't actually allow it. Also since you brought up Getmany already: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_law_of_Germany#Trans... Germany is such a country and even if you were to assign copyright to them it would be legally void to the best of my knowledge. And also other countries that base it on moral rights.

Copyright law is very different between countries and way too strong to just transfer for such a use. If they really wanted to, they should have made a license to handle it exactly the way they wanted.

I didn't realise the US had UK-style tabloid newspapers.
My friend and I are currently working on an app called Krux that aims to resolve this problem. We found that in most news stories fifty percent or more of it can be fluff/intro/unimportant so we built a summary algorithm to cut the articles down. The app harvests the news from a growing list of RSS feeds and then summarizes them to 4 sentences for quick consumption. We plan on launching with Tech, Business, Politics, and Culture sections so you can follow only what you're most interested in keeping up with. We think it will be a good way to stay on top of fast moving industries and keep informed of the top events.

It depends on your definition of
"reading a book."

Wait, what?

I've been reading a book called,
I kid you not, "How to Read a Book:
The Classic Guide to Intelligent
Reading."

Adler and Doren identify four levels
of reading:

1. Elementary: "What does the sentence say?"
This is where speed can be gained

2. Inspectional: "What is the book about?"
Best and most complete reading given a limited time.
Not necessarily reading a book from front to back.
Essentially systematic skimming.

3. Analytical:
Best and most complete reading given unlimited time.
For the sake of understanding.

4. Synoptical:
Reading many books of the same subject at once,
placing them in relation to one another, and
constructing an analysis that may not be found
in any of the books.

We still use our intuitions, but now everyone knows the starting set of assumptions.

As for the axioms in use, I think the big reasons they were chosen is: They lead to results we already wanted/proved to be true.

Another thing to keep in mind, not everyone works with the same sets of axioms. Which, as someone with a formalist[2] view on mathematics, I find interesting. For example, not everyone studying logic assumes the principle of the excluded middle[1]. One of the consequences of this is that you can no longer do proofs by contradiction.

The axiom of choice is another example of this where two groups of mathematicians accept it or not. I'm a formalist, so I don't have issues with this (as long as both sets of axioms are interesting and "intuitive"), other philosophies of maths might.
