If a security researcher finds and reports a flaw in a system, they can get in trouble for unauthorized access. This is dumb, since we want flaws to be disclosed so they can be fixed. In a certain sense, systems that can be accessed, should be accessed.

The real problem isn't unauthorized access; it's what someone does with that access. Someone who gains access to information but does nothing with it hasn't really done anything wrong. The law should apply only when that access is used for harm (vandalism, corporate espionage, fraud, or whatever is relevant). Right now, the law penalizes the access itself, which is backwards.

If we apply this logic to the FBI, then sure, let them hack away. Without the due process of a warrant, however, none of the stolen information should be admissible in court. The problem isn't the hacking; it's making inappropriate use of stolen information.
This is one of those things that should be repealed. I've frankly gotten tired of the punishing of normal people by dumb privacy invading laws[1], or frankly, taxing them when they are not in the US. There are easier ways of going after people and companies (looking at you Monster Cable) that play fast an lose with our tax laws. I am all for only taxing income / revenue earned in the US.

1) we can get rid of all the BS $10,000 stuff in deposits in the US.
Bash script does all the things.
I think that it's all over the place. It's Britain, sure, but it's also the US with Trump. It's Russia with Putin. It's even China.

Why is the world moving this direction? I think that it's because globalization hasn't delivered a better life to people. (Or at least, hasn't delivered enough of a better life to enough people for them to consider it to be a net win for them.)
Nope. There are a few different types of EU legislation. Some have to be implemented by local governments as you say (e.g. EU directives), but some immediately become the law of the member countries after being passed in the EU. These are known as EU regulations. You can read more about the different types of EU legislation here:

The algorithm just tries to model the world as it actually is, not as it is supposed to be. The algorithm cares nothing about uncomfortable truths. The algorithm should not be set up and trained to reflect a wrong model of reality, but rather you should consider if you want to use an algorithm based on reality or one based on how you want the world to be.
I think you miss the part where the foreign bank does its own reporting, and how said banks are starting to refuse to have US Citizens as customers.
I'd expect my physician to interpret them with the proper expectation. All tests have some probability of a false negative or false positive, and medicine is not so simple as reading a test result and ordering treatment.
That arrangement sounds highly irregular. I hope that you will consult with a lawyer before entering into any agreement with your employer.

At the very least it seems like they should have recorded your employment for tax purposes. Even if you aren't obliged to pay any taxes to the US government, there must be some bare minimum for accounting purposes and internal audit controls.

Of course, I am neither a lawyer nor experienced in administrating the employment of foreign nationals
Dolphin is a masterpiece of engineering. The fact that it can emulate consoles so recent so well is a testament to the skill of the coders behind the project.

They do an amazing job. I love reading the update posts.
Posting an honest opinion is enough. No one needs to "guide" the discussion. If everyone agrees then that's fine, it'll just be a very short thread.

As for why you get downvoted, unless you're very good at communicating a post playing Devil's advocate looks pretty much exactly like a post espousing a contrary opinion for real. In other words, people can't tell you're playing Devil's advocate and they take you seriously.
That is good to hear! I will check out GAE next time.
Same. I have the complete collection now from 8bit to PS3. Such a great game. I hope to create a 2d engine in that style next (in javascript because I'm a crazy mofo)
>Green card will not take 8 years unless you were born in India, China, or the Philippines

What if you have a Canadian citizenship? Is it still 8 years?

>There's a 60 day wait period after you last enter on TN, and you cannot leave the country when the AOS

So, when I first get my TN visa, I cannot leave the country without any of those papers? How long does my first TN visa last and if that expires I have to wait for 60 days before I get a new one?
Anodyne (http://www.anodynegame.com/) is a great indie game heavily inspired by the early Zeldas.
I feel like their API isn't super uniform in a lot of the ways it's integrated, but I will give them a +1 for allowing very easy versioning.
We don't all look at corporations like our own children: "sure they screwed up but as long as the fix it all is forgiven." We look at corporations as full grown adults who only get one real chance. Think about all the strategy that went into the DRM change, there was a lot of thought behind the decision, which revealed true long term intentions. This was not a momentary temper tantrum, this was premeditated. You can expect something similar to happen in the future with the rift. Worst case...Rift proves the market and does a whole bunch of R/D that 2nd or 3d generation suppliers can capitalize on. I will not be purchasing a Rift, ever.
>The EU will make the UK pay a price for Brexit.

Last time I checked membership in the EU is voluntary.
Why should there be punishment?
Then we need the polled odds to make this comparison.
Because there's a big difference between theory and practice. There are sneaky ways of hiding subtle weaknesses in real DH code that aren't readily apparent. This is actually a more general problem than just DH. How do you know that the supposedly secure chat app that you downloaded as a binary isn't using steganography to expose your keys?
>not be noticeable even in a code review conducted by software security experts.

Unless they've read this :)
But didn't Walgreens have to test the technology to agree to the partnership in the first place?

There is a difference between the tech that doesn't work and tech that cannot work.

The former will work eventually, but the latter can never work.

Can you tell which it is?
Not a big fan of Accounts being structured differently based on product.

Is it really discrimination? Why do younger people get to make decisions with so little experience?
Right. I'm glad he spoke publicly because it shines more light on how ridiculous his position is.

He actually tries to justify (or deflect) stealing the Let's Encrypt trademark by claiming LE stole the concept of a 90-day cycle. Ridiculous.
People know that clinicians making their very best efforts will sometimes kill patients. Hopefully there's some process in place for that organisation to learn from the error.

Compare that to Theranos, where non-clinicians were deceiving customers with a tech that could not work in order to make money.

That kind of behaviour is rightly criticised.
>Yes, her entire life is politics and it's hard to trust her. But the embodiment of corruption?

Yes, corruption personified. The Clintons sit at the center of a criminal nexus of bribes, payoffs, embezzlement and perjury that stretches back decades. From cattle-trading futures, to Whitewater, to hundreds of 6 figure speeches, to countless millions raked in at their foundation, which acts as a giant money laundering machine. If you don't think Hillary is utterly corrupt you haven't learned enough about her. It isn't up for dispute. This is coming from someone who has been a registered Democrat for more then 25 years.

>Now, I happen to think the judge was incorrect, but maybe wait until it fully works its way through the court system before declaring that "the system of laws has broken down". The very fact you threw that in casually leads me to conclude you've never seen anything near anarchy.

Your are drawing a flawed conclusion. Our government and courts exist to uphold the law and the Constitution. Our President and our government officials swear to uphold the Constitution, nothing about "national security". It isn't a choice between anarchy and the rule of law. There are plenty of dictatorships around the world that don't have anarchy or a functioning legal system where petitioners can find redress from government abuses - and that's the direction we are heading.
Ok. I'll bite on this one. Why are you opposed to mass immigration?
I think it would greatly help if people who vote were required to demonstrate that they understand the underlying facts to some degree. In addition to making sure everyone has the means to freely access and learn these facts. Once you know the facts, it's much easier to draw correct conclusions.

On the other hand, democratic elections as we know them skip the basic-understanding part entirely and go straight to the debate, denounce & convince part. Having that would be fine if people actually had a solid base from which to judge these arguments.

Personally, I wouldn't mind if there were a test similar to driver's license tests, far less involved but still a bit of a hurdle, and the voter base shrinking to a much smaller but on average much better informed populace.

Again, this has to come with completely free, government-sponsored access to time, opportunity and information for any citizen, so that even the poorest homeless person has a reasonable chance to take and pass that test. In that sense, it's a fragile system that can (maybe too) easily be rigged against the poor and struggling by educated and potentially malicious actors.
Didn't it have to demonstrate to both Walgreens and the FDA that it was working before?

I can't tell if it never worked, or if something prevented it from scaling.
Some people are willing to trade goods and services for Bitcoin, just like they would dollars.

I don't think it's relevant what the person receiving the Bitcoin does with it after (converting directly to dollars, holding, or buying other goods/services), since those are the same things people do with regular dollars anyway.
Even with Vagrant, don't you want to run your own native IDE? And if you're doing that, the IDE probably wants to look at your dependencies to figure out what your code is doing. Which means you need to set up the whole thing locally anyways. At which point it appears you've defeated the purpose of setting everything up inside Vagrant.
Yes, zero day exploits are present in all software, that is a known fact (Chrome is not an exception)... in fact, 0-days is just what is publicized... there is the exploits that are kept private which might one day become "0-day".
I have the impression that I elected the MPEs, and that I have chosen my ministers and my head of state, and as such, the councils of ministers and heads of state that are the real rulers of Europe, yes, the nations! As the European commission, it's a civil service as there is in all the European countries.
What they are saying is that, if you know your data is biased, you have the option of designing your system to compensate for that bias.

Why do you seem to think that you have to just throw your hands up in the air and accept the bias? Wouldn't the 'best possible analysis given the data available' include compensating for known biases in the data? If I was designing a system for analyzing temperature data, for example, and I knew that every measurement was 10 degrees warmer than the actual temperature, shouldn't my analysis system compensate for that?
Yes I am curious to know more about this too. In my case, I have a Canadian incorporation that generates passive income from websites.
In your opinion, has it been documented that the technology doesn't work or that they couldn't apply the technology properly in the field?

In other words:

1. Is it fraud and poor science?
2. Is it good science but still immature?

That is the key distinction.
I don't care what your politics are. If you're building a data-driven system and you forget that empirically observed covariation is a necessary but not sufficient condition for causality, you're building flawed system, which is inaccurate at best, discriminatory at worst.
It really depends on what your algorithm is determining.

Really FATCA is one of the most excellent laws that has been passed. Prior to this, you had expats who had milked the US and then they wanted to waltz off with their proceeds.

Americans gain huge benefits from the taxes paid by prior generations. The entire US system is the envy of much of the world--and how did it get that way? Americans paying their taxes. Whether or not you have kids--you must pay property taxes that fund your local schools. Unfair? Hardly. Those schools don't come out of thin air--taxpayers who came before you paid for them. Stop your whining. If you were born in the US, then you benefitted. If you are a US citizen and you get in trouble somewhere on earth, the US government will come to your aid. That's what you're paying for, in addition to paying for the next generation of Americans to have schools, roads, public utilities and the like.

Really, whining about having to pay your share--no matter where you have run off to--is ridiculous.
Ask HN: What is your go-to guide for anything related to best-practices?
Since there are different areas in programming/computing, I wanna see what specs/guides you use for your domain.

I'm motivated to ask this question since,there was a submission earlier called,"Ask HN: What is your go-to example for a good REST API?"

If the "data available" is biased, an unbiased system must compensate for the biases of the data it is using. Otherwise you are failing to be "actually correct".
The author herself doesn't seem to be experiencing outrageous banking pain, though. She's paying no US taxes, and could almost certainly fill out her own tax forms if the thousand-Euro fee is onerous. It's completely unclear what, exactly, is so burdensome about her citizenship.
I do all of my development on a 2015 Macbook Air and run a Linux virtual machine almost every day. Still plenty of battery to get me through more than a full day of work and casual browsing.

Way better than Linux on the desktop. Way easier than configuring a second operating system to run the stack. I'm not going to production on MacOS, why would I develop on it?
Risky Click.

I figured I was either about to learn something about gaming, or I was about to end up on a terrorism watch list...
A thousand times yes. There are too many APIs which claim REST without even knowing what it means.
It is quite useful in the following sense: correctly predicting a war at the moment is not really possible. So I agree with you here.

What is certain is that the (nationalistic) political class will use this situation to its advantage. Viewed through historical lenses, this is not exactly good news. But that does not lead de facto to war.
Recall not that long ago that the default DH group in SSH may have been defeated by NSA or someone similar. So now, during key agreement in SSH, the server and the client agree on the DH group that they will proceed to use, and I believe that the server provides the group. If the client trusts the server without verifying the DH modulus is appropriate (of the form 2p + 1 with p prime), then a malicious server could weaken the connection by providing one of these weaker composite numbers.

While I've seen skimmers that cover the entire front of the ATM, it boggles my mind that the credit card acceptor isn't designed to be flush with the front face. That would make it much harder to plant an additional device on top without it looking more conspicuous.

We have been using Swagger and developed a REST API library [1] in Java that automatically generates Swagger specification for your API using static analysis. We can also automatically generate client libraries (https://github.com/buremba/rakam-client) and API documentation (http://api.rakam.io/) from Swagger specification. Currently, the library lacks documentation but it can at least give you the idea.

Went through a fun exercise yesterday: walked through all the amendments to the Constitution (especially the Bill of Rights) and discussed how many of them are essentially moot now because of all the exceptions that have already been made over the years. Surprisingly few are still absolute rights.
You can generally solve this by just sharing folders between the host & the vagrant box for the code and the dependencies - point your IDE at those.
That's amazing - thanks for showing me that. I have much to learn that-a-way.
Independence Day website turns your street into a smoldering crater
It is IDENTICAL to mine as well. Even down to the information theory bit. Very bizarre, but reassuring.
The problem has been fixed.
In that regard, they're not at all different from the regular banking system.

edit: The Ethereum Foundation and devs have issued a new client that enables a soft fork, effectively freezing the DAO. The only difference with the traditional banking system here is that the decision to fork is upon the miners, and not a single entity (central bank). The spirit is the same.
Unfortunately you're absolutely right, which is why I said that this ruling is "another" reminder. Our steady descent into despotism didn't start with 9/11, but it has certainly accelerated since then, with our rights steadily being eroded away.
In most of the cases discussed in the article, it's not the software that rots but instead the users and/or organization that decays. When a system is created, it is generally designed to solve a known set of problems encountered by an existing population of users. Over time, the tool creators, original users, and the current problem domains change but often the old system is modified to solve these changes. A flexible system may be adaptable to certain amounts of change, but only if the current populace of creators/maintainers as well as users understand the limits. If they do not, the software often ends up less useful than if it had never been touched.
> "Everyone in the EU is ruled by their own elected government. The unelected bureaucrats in Brussels don't rule anybody. Their ability to make decisions for member states is limited by treaties. In any case, the UK was significantly more independent than other EU states in terms of currency and economic issues."

The agenda of the EU is controlled by the EU Commission, as they're the only group that can propose laws. The EU Commissioners are not democratically elected, and only serve the interests of the EU as a single block. The laws they propose do have to get passed elected officials, but the Commission is free to keep passing through similar laws until they get passed, which is similar to how they pushed through the rejected European Constitution as the Lisbon Treaty, despite the contents being similar.

Ok, for future reference: If you see a Buzzfeed article submitted here, and on the front page, it's a good bet that it's not a bullshit article.

Buzzfeed is strange that way.
Yup, if you work for a non-US based company that offers stock you have to file an FBAR as well. It's not overly complicated(although the timing is different than taxes which can be a tad annoying).

You already have to disclose your income so I don't see bank account balances as a large step up from that. I'm pretty certain all US based banks already do this so the FBAR just covers foreign accounts.
Want to reduce stress and frustration in your life? Add this to your personal philosophy:

"If it's stupid, get away from it."

- dumb boss? job transfer or new job

- dumb family members causing you problems? Avoid them.

- dumb taxation? get away from the legal clutches of the taxing authority

Everything detrimental in life that can be avoided, should be avoided if possible.

There is enough unhappy other stuff that comes up in our lives that if you're not at least bailing on crappy situations, you're missing a chance at a happier less stressful life.
First of all, nobody asked me. I feel excluded from decisions on this policy and you can see how this amplifies my hostility to it.

Because even if we have a debate on mass immigration and I lose every argument, I'm still entitled to have my vote weighted. Is it my country or whose it is?

By default I don't owe people of other countries anything. It's our common right to let them in; but it's also our common right to kindly ask them to stay outside.

That's the basic outline, and I'll try and explain my unique reservations in another comment.

UPD to the sibling comment:

It's not that I have any obligations to not be a racist.

Maybe I am. Maybe I am not. Maybe I'm racist on even days and not racist on odd.

I my country I have rights to be whatever pleases me.

On other hand, if you want me to not be a racist, or at least not act as racist, you have to tell me what's in it for me.
Provide a sample! This could be a fascinating secure alternative.
Thanks for the clarification. It might work.
When considered as 'store', the value image is at a specific memory location, i.e. a specific offset in process heap. GC's difficult role here is to manage these allocations and compact the heap, etc.

When considered as a 'cache', the entire heap is a fixed sized cache. (LRU or better 2Q to deal with ephemeral objects). The actual memory object is at an offset in a mapped segment. (If mapped to a file, then voila, persistent memory).

As object are created, they are immediately placed in the 'process cache'. So to take the example of the OP's 'transactional' memobjs, these are cache entries that get promoted to the LRU section of a 2Q, get utilized, and then are naturally 'garbage collected' by eviction.

This scheme is not universal. Very long lived processes that sporadically access 'ancient' objects will stress the VM/FS. One can extend the temporal range of this scheme by employing a set of rotating FS-backed memory segments, but of course there will be a limit (e.g. your FS).

Does that clarify the scheme?

[p.s. of course one can used a leveled cache hierarchy, with optimal realization mapping to L1, L2, wired-memory. But a basic version can just use a single level 2Q cache.]
Your guess is as good as mine. Blame Netflix, Microsoft or the people pushing DRM. Maybe it's some combination of all of the above or none of them. I'm not sure anyone really knows why we have this behavior.

It's not necessarily DRM in HTML5 which is the issue here although I suppose the fractured nature of it may be partially to blame. It's the fact that it's seemingly arbitrary that Chrome gets capped to 720p and no one knows why. Did Microsoft pay a big chunk of change to Netflix for exclusivity or something along those lines? Do the content creators prefer Microsoft's DRM implementation over Widevine's?
