I hope those in the 'nothing to hide' camp (also quite prevalent here on HN) will take their lessons from this too.

The whole 'honor killings' stuff disgusts me, what is even more disgusting is that in plenty of places the authorities will tacitly allow this stuff to take place.

Why do it on the client and not on the server? It's just an implementation decision. I would never bug someone for choosing either one over the other. Most implementations probably have issues with the employed algorithm, best not to waste effort debating the delivery method.

There is an easier solution. Go public. I've gotten options in a private company, RSUs in a private company that got acquired, options in a public company, and RSUs in a public company.

The idea that bureaucrats can make enough laws that we know exactly what action ever taken in the future is "illegal or not" is pure Orwellian.

Yeah, and there have been other minor adjustments along the way (and I didn't even take the SAT - I took the ACT, which has a similar story). With the dramatic uptick in people going to University, even during and after the 90s, it was in College Board's and ACT's interest to inflate the scores.

For sure if you took the test(s) in the 90s* they were harder than they are now, but I suspect there has been some additional inflation creep along the way.

*citation:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAT#1995_re-centering_controve...

Edit:

Holy Cow! This table shows that the percentage of students taking the ACT who achieved a perfect score increased by two orders of magnitude from 1997 to 2014:

I think that _initially_ this new neural growth can be co-opted into general mental flexibility, particularly for things like mathematics and visual reasoning. In a sense, varied movement makes you more aware/perceptive of space. However, I think over time if you don't try to utilize your increased spatial awareness to solve spatial problems, eventually those new neurons will prune their synaptic connections to make the network as efficient as possible. Thus, I believe that pairing novel mental and physical training is the best bet for improving overall intellectual abilities.
For me, it's not much different than reading silently, where I convert text into mental auditory speech and the corresponding concepts are simultaneously activated.

Another advantage of the Kiva system is that they are not picky about the types of items that can be stored. They can store and move just about anything that fits on a shelf. Shuttle systems have some restrictions about the types of items that can be stored. Amazon has such a wide range of items that the flexibility of their shelving units allows them to get the most advantage out of their goods-to-person robots.

Well hold on.. there are several issues. One is that there is an exploit allowing arbitrary code execution in the trustzone. This immediate problem should be fixed.

The second is that allowing a firmware updates to trustzone code means that Google could push an update which allows them to retrieve keys. Such updates should only be allowed if the user accepts them. How the user is supposed to know the difference between a security fix vs. Google trying to break into their phone is the real issue.

But IOS has this same issue. If you accept a firmware update from Apple, maybe it includes a pin logger.
"there is ample market opportunity in providing secure services and communications for Muslim clients."

You mean aiding and abeitting terrorists? That's the nonsense they'll mention when they target that company or its founders. "They" means about any country in the Wassenar Agreement, part of many Eyes coalition, prone to mass surveillance, or concerned about terrorism. That's unfortunately about every democracy or powerful non-democracy you can develop crypto in.

I'm not saying you can't do it. I have no idea what outcome will be. I just know it's one of riskiest, business models for crypto.
You know, I'm not really all that certain that it's intellectually difficult to get crypto right; it feels more likely that it's organisationally and process-wise difficult to get crypto right.

What I mean is that folks want to take an existing product and layer crypto atop it, when really they need to start from the crypto and built a product over it. They want to do things which are mathematically impossible (e.g. let you read data, but not let you say that data to someone else). They want to hand the crypto to a junior developer instead of someone who knows what he's doing.

Crypto's not hard to do; organisations are bad at doing crypto.
Does the hacker have any religious motivation? As an ex-Muslim, I cannot comprehend how someone in his/her right mind can do something like this. The people whose identities are revealed will be socially rejected in the best case; in the worst case, physical abuse, honor killings, and whatnot. These hackers should be prosecuted for intentionally risking other peoples lives.
It doesn't really break the encryption, as long as the password is strong enough to prevent brute forcing.

Relying on a weak password and a "trusted computing" mechanism like this one from Qualcomm to prevent an attacker with physical access from brute forcing it is not really advisable.

Using such a mechanism at all has downsides since it means that you lose the data if the mechanism or the entire device stops working, while otherwise you could simply move the SSD/flash/storage unit to a new identical device and have it just work as long as you type the correct password.
I can see that to a point, but there was a commercial venture set up around it too.

House affordability seems to me one of the major issues in the US. (Along with high costs of college and Health)

It hurts families. But it also makes the economy less competitive. For example. It is hard to bring any manufacturing when you have to pay higher salaries that are barely high enough to pay rent.

Not only that. Because housing costs are high, people have less available income. They spend less money in other services like entertainment, dining out, etc.

So, it is a loose-loose. I don't even know if anyone wins. May be when you sell your house at the end of your life you win. /s

So the dilution does not come from the exercise period; it comes from rank and file employees being unable to raise the required capital to exercise. So imagine if Kupor had said "We should not be paying employees any salaries; that puts cash in their pockets which enables them to exercise their options when they vest which leads to dilution for every investor" - that would have been an obviously ridiculous position. So is the statement OP is commenting on.

On a side note, you have been defending Kupor in the other thread too with such nitpicks. Why?

I'd say it's less paranoia and more "all we get from the media is anti-Muslim propaganda and reports of horrible things extremist Muslims do, it'd be nice to have something to point to that's not about that."

Honestly I'd rather the mainstream media just starts doing consistent positive coverage on individuals in the Muslim community to counteract the negative news, but I'll take what I can get.

I've had discussions with several 'normal folk' Americans (note: I am American) that are totally brainwashed into believing being Muslim is synonymous with being pure evil, and I'm afraid of what that mindset leads to, especially on a large scale.

Just as much as white/black are races.

A less snarky answer is that just like Jews there is a separation of cultural Muslims and religious Muslims, the former representing a race.
So yes. This may be a big part of the problem. One of those things that is good for the individual but bad for the economy as a whole.

Last month I announced Flask-Ask

https://github.com/johnwheeler/flask-ask

This month I made these videos and website. They show me live coding and interacting with an Echo Tap to get you up to speed fast with Flask-Ask and the Alexa Skills Kit.

The first one, Flask-Ask Quickstart, shows how to create an Alexa Skill in under 5 minutes. It assumes you've already registered a developers account with Amazon at https://developers.amazon.com, but you don't need to own an Echo. You can use the web-based simulator at https://EchoSim.io

Please e-mail me at john@johnwheeler.org if you have any issues with the videos, feedback on how to improve them, or need support with Flask-Ask

More videos are on the way. Thank you!

In addition to having to know the carrier, the text message itself sometimes includes email-style metadata (like FROM, SUBJECT, MESSAGE, etc) that varies by carrier, so its difficult to control the experience. Its one of those things thats good for a personal project but not for a service that sends lots of text messages to users.

I didn't know this until I just tried it, but doing it over email supports replies (at least on AT&T), which is pretty cool.

Speaking as somebody who has been gaming on linux for many years, it is SIGNIFICANTLY better than it was 5 years ago. 5 years ago, the only games on linux were open source games (TeeWorlds, Battle For Wesnoth, Frogatto, Nexuiz (now Xonotic)), and some open source knockoffs of nintendo games (super tux etc.), some id games from before Dave Taylor packed his bags, and the meager handful of indies that the Humble Bundle ported. Now, we have many of the numerous indies on steam, and many of those who haven't already plan to have support. We have VALVE'S ENTIRE BACK CATALOG, for crying out loud. We've got Mount and Blade, Reflex, Transistor, Shovel Knight, Stacking, The Talos Principle, Shadow of Mordor, The Stanley Parable, technically Undertale, although no official support, and that's just a quick at my steam library and the storefront. Sure, maybe your game of choice hasn't been ported, but it's gotten SO much better. And Wine has gotten better too. We are long past the days when the Source 13 update made my copy of Portal 2 unplayable.

How was his question anti-investigation?
Because these raids are PR stunts. Tax laws are setup in such a way that by LEGALLY taking advantage of various incentives, a multinational company can vastly reduce it's tax burden. Individual countries are somewhat powerless to do anything b/c they'd have to have some sort of power to influence the tax laws of other countries (not going to happen).

This is why there's so much talk over international agreements.

Using Ecto with and Existing MySQL Database
While it may be informative, one of the differences between UBI and simply expanding current welfare programs is cultural. Right now, being out of a job is considered shameful, and it's often isolating (since "everyone" else is working while you're not). Even in my holiday-friendlier (compared to the US) EU country, the fact that an unemployed person takes a few days from searching for work to go to the beach is met with scorn.

One of the hopes of UBI is that when everyone receives a salary just from being alive, and working earns you extra on top of that, whether one works become more of a choice (like living frugally) instead of a failure, and loneliness is reduced when unemployment isn't an evil to combat, and more people choose to do something else.
From https://lofgren.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentI...:

H.R. 4351 also includes an Incentive Stock Option (ISO)
provision that corrects a severe inequity in the AMT tax
system and finally resolves the ongoing AMT Incentive Stock
Option crisis. This essential provision provides relief for
hard working Americans who are treated unjustly by the tax
burden caused when exercising their Incentive Stock Options.
Under this important provision, employees will pay a fair and
proportional tax on money actually made and will be relieved
of the impossible burden of ongoing liability to pay taxes on
income never received. This provision will help ensure that our
companies continue attracting the best and brightest with
competitive compensation packages.
Those sort of things are always a bit grey and (IMHO) a bit sketchy, but it's worth noting that it's a bit costly to even test the ideas. Starting a business is a decent way to raise the capital to run the experiment, since grant money is likely far harder to get. But, yeah, doing it that way also really makes it basically impossible to be unbiased.

Let a few more rounds of experimentation and refutation go through, and if it's clear it can't work at all, and they stay in business without pivoting, then we can breeze right past hoax and jump to fraud. Time will tell about it, I guess.
The Responsibility Glitch
Well, yes. The nominal standard here is whether the prejudice is against something the individual has choice over. One does not choose one's race, whereas once does choose one's own religion, even if raised in an environment suffused with it.

Choice and agency is the standard by which most people draw the line between generic prejudice and hate. It's no coincidence that gay rights dramatically improved along with widespread acceptance that, regarding sexual orientation, "I was born this way".
