I own a couple of Apple notebooks. Two years ago I bought a used X201 because I needed a Linux backup (official excuse) and because I love the design (actual reason). It's completely different from Apple's approach and Richard Sapper's original draft is still visible in those machines.

Like 2 years ago there was something on the front page daily about running your own email server.

Obviously if you are of .gov employ, you should not do this.

I do have my own email server, cloud server, etc hosted on DO and don't work for the government. But I have two phones, one for work and one for personal and do not mix work/personal data.

I see no stagnation, there's a growing spectrum of models from the lowest cost chromebook to insanely powerful gaming and video production optimized units. There is a large midrange that is just good enough for use and little need for higher performance that seems stable with not much market pressure to shift away from the "i5" sweet spot.

That's good to hear. Thanks!
Sure, but the SoS is a classifying authority, it's not like this is some grunt in the army that doesn't have any ability to classify information. I'm not going to insinuate that there's no possibility at least some of this information could have slipped under the radar and had no reason to be classified at the time, but I'm not enough of a fool to believe that applies to every instance.

There is probably a conflict of interest here. If Clinton becomes President, won't anyone at the FBI involved in the investigation be subject to retaliation. It would be in the best interest to try to not advise her prosecution and instead suck up to the future President.

> clearly intentional and willful mishandling of classified information

This is the only one you could make a case on, I think. Setting up an external email server was "intentional". But maybe mishandling confidential information wasn't. After all, the campaign's message was that no emails were classified at time of transmission (a statement that turned out to be false). But if all you have to say to get out of this charge is, "I didn't mean to!" then I guess it's pretty clear cut.
What Comey writes is that other people in similar circumstances have faced security and administrative consequences- such as being fired, and their security clearance revoked. That sounds reasonable.
Awesome write-up! I love C# and this was really well-written. Great work.

I'm not too surprised in this outcome. It has nothing to do with Hillary being rich and famous and everything to do with her being a Presidential candidate, and the front-runner, to boot.

Imagine this scenario: The FBI indicts Hillary. The trial itself would derail the election cycle, and there would be a fantastic chance that it costs Hillary either the nomination or the general election. Then further imagine that the FBI fails to convict her through a jury -- or even if they did convict her, imagine one of the upper courts overturns on appeal. The FBI would have accused (indicted) a front-runner presidential candidate and destroyed her chance at winning... only to fail to convict.

That would not only unfairly destroy a found-not-guilty Clinton's presidential ambitions, but it would obliterate any trust in the FBI to remain, at least to the public eye, apolitical.

There's a reason the Attorney General passed the buck, and there's a reason Director Comey declined to recommend charges, and it's this: this is not a slam-dunk case. She may very well be guilty, but for Hillary Clinton, front-runner for the national election for President, the standard of proof is so high that there must be a 100% guarantee of conviction for the FBI to bring forth charges.

Yes, if a normal person had done these things, they would be charged. But if a normal person had allegedly done these things, been indicted by the FBI, and then found innocent, the nation-wide and political trust in the FBI wouldn't go completely down the drain. In all likelihood, a normal person would settle out of court -- something that's not in Hillary's best interest. She needs to be found not-guilty to be President, and settling out of court would look guilty, so they'd go to trial -- again, there's a non-trivial chance that she'd be found "not guilty" by the jury, and the FBI can't risk that in such a high-profile case with such disastrous consequences.

So again, this isn't super surprising when you think about the consequences of indicting Hillary but failing to secure a conviction. The risk to the American legal system just isn't worth it over a couple of emails.

With that in mind, this isn't necessarily Comey declining to charge Clinton; this is Comey passing the buck to the Senate.

Now, once she's a sitting President, the Senate can impeach her, and we're in different territory. The Senate is supposed to be political in ways that the FBI is not.

TL;DR The problem isn't that she didn't commit enough of a crime to indict, the problem is that it isn't a guaranteed SLAM DUNK case, and since that's true, it's TOO RISKY to the election cycle and legal system to indict her.
Not a user, but I saw this in the documentation: MulticlassClassificationLayer
Out of curiosity, do people think that Comey made this recommendation based on politics?

This report definitely proves that this scandal is serious. But I can't really think of any reason that I would find this report to be more credible from someone else.

I'd expect that if this was a political investigation, that the recommendation would fall along party lines. But Comey is a Republican. I've heard that there is some personal animosity between the Clintons and Comey. And Comey has a reputation of being highly principled. http://www.theblaze.com/contributions/hillary-clinton-should... (I don't normally read the blaze, but it does show what right-wing conservatives thought about Comey.)

I definitely see how it could appear that Clinton was treated differently than other people, Comey admits that people would face administrative consequences for her actions and explains that away by saying the investigation was criminal and not administrative. But I think that Comey would have delivered a recommendation to prosecute if he believed that was the best decision.

It's C generated by disassembling x86 assembler code. It is not an example code from Intel.

The function pointer at `v3 + 0x8` is invoked with arguments: (1) the pointer at `v3 + 0x0`, (2) some fixed pointer, and (3) a pointer into the CommunicationBuffer.

E.g. here's more idiomatic C code to represent the same idea:

struct Thunk {
void *argument;
void (fp)(void *, DWORD *, void *);
};
struct CommunicationBuffer {
uint64_t unknown[4];
struct Thunk *thunk;
...;
};

EFI_STATUS __fastcall sub_AD3AFA54(
EFI_HANDLE SmmImageHandle, VOID *CommunicationBuffer, UINTN *SourceSize)
{
struct CommunicationBuffer *cb = CommunicationBuffer;
if (cb->thunk) {
cb->thunk->fp(cb->thunk->argument, &dword, &cb->unknown[3]);
cb->thunk = NULL;
}
return 0;
}
Well, you can still go back and prosecute them now. Is that what you propose? That we also prosecute Rice and Powell?

Number of ships /= budget for ships.

Naval leaders are of the opinion that they need more, but cheaper, ships. Navy programs are suffering the same budget creep as the Airforce (see f35). Congress wants to spend the money and, in truth, the Navy wants the money. They might not want it spent on this particular ship but will take it so long as there is no other program that can take the money.

Don't just plaster Lenovo with this - they're getting the splatter because Cr4sh has been researching their firmware, but this is a multi-vendor issue.

A few important notes from the article and the releaser's blog post:

* This is not a Lenovo problem so much as a problem for multiple vendors who used BIOS based on Intel's reference information. The original problem was with source code provided by Intel. The same problem is confirmed to exist in at least one HP system.

* This was apparently fixed back in 2014, but there doesn't seem to be an indication that it was recognized as a security flaw then or at least it wasn't noted as a security fix. 2014 isn't that long ago in terms of propagating BIOS updates.

* Cr4sh apparently decided to just release, "I decided to do the full disclosure because the main goal of my UEFI series articles is to share the knowledge, not to make vendors and their users happy."

* His assessment is "It’s very unlikely that this vulnerability will be exploited in the wild, for regular customers there are much more chances to be killed with the lightning strike than meet any System Management Mode exploit or malware."

When I say "Linux", I mean Red Hat. I mean Slackware. I mean Mandrake. I mean Debian. I mean SuSe. I mean Gentoo. I mean every one of the 2 kadzillion distributions out there, based around a Linux kernel with substantially similar userlands, mostly based on GNU tools, that are floating around the ether.

So... do you include Android? It's worth asking, because though it uses a Linux kernel, it's a heavily modified one (little chance of Binder ever being accepted into Mainline, or of Android abandoning it), and its userland is very different from anything you're used to from GNU.

Edit: I can't find a date, but from other stuff in it I'm guessing the article is from quite a few years ago, before Android was mainstream or even existed.

It's not enough: due to the multiplicative effect (one ad-server can serve billions of ads and affect countless people), and the hefty fines, the ad-servers simply won't have enough funds to pay the fines and will go bankrupt.

So, your proposal would also need the following measures: 1) fines cannot be discharged by bankruptcy, ever, 2) anyone working at the ad-serving company is liable, and 3) if their money runs out before all the fines are paid, they go to Guantanamo and get tortured daily until someone pays all the fines. If the advertisers are OK with these terms, then maybe we can think about stopping the use of ad-blockers.

That's not at all what they said. They said "Clinton and her colleagues...were extremely careless." Gross negligence is a term of art with a very particular legal meaning, even if there's some vagaries in the case law. The two aren't the same. Gross negligence can include extreme carelessness, but it's generally accepted to go well beyond just that.

Two Americas, indeed.

One for you and I, and one for the elite.

I held a clearance for 20 years, during which time I was in-briefed multiple times, received annual security refresher training, and de-briefed when I no longer required access to particular material. The regulations regarding the handling, processing, classification and storage of such material was made crystal clear on every occasion.

I have no doubt that had I done the same as Hillary Clinton, a "reasonable prosecutor" (to use the FBI's theoretical situation) would be easily found to go after me.

Some animals are more equal than others.
I didn't assume anything about your "feelings regarding previous people who may have done".

And your feelings regarding over-classification is not irrelevant to whether something is "wrong". Wrong is not the same as legal, which is why there is discretion.

Of the many challenges that a limbless person faces, swimming would have to be among the easiest. Certainly easier than e.g. donning a swimsuit.
Some governments are more restrictive than others in term of censorship and what people are allowed to see or say on Internet.
