"For example, hacking is much more prevalent now than it was even nine years ago, and
the rise of computer hacking viathe Internet has changed the public's reasonable expectations of
privacy. Cf Lee Raine, How Americans balance privacy concerns with sharing personal
information: 5 key findings, PewResearchCenter (January 14, 2016),
http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/01/14/key-findings...
(reporting that members of a focus group "worried about hackers," though "some accept that
[privacy tradeoffs are] a part of modern life"). Now, it seems unreasonable to think that a
computer connected to the Web is immune from invasion. Indeed, the opposite holds true: in
today's digital world, it appears to be a virtual certainty that computers accessing the Internet can
- and eventually will - be hacked."

"Thus, hacking resembles the broken blinds in Carter. 525 U.S. at 85. Just as Justice
Breyer wrote in concurrence that a police officer who peers through broken blinds does not
violate anyone's Fourth Amendment rights, jd. at 103 (Breyer, J., concurring), FBI agents who
exploit a vulnerability in an online network do not violate the Fourth Amendment. Just as the
area into which the officer in Carter peered - an apartment - usually is afforded Fourth Amendment protection, a computer afforded Fourth Amendment protection in other
circumstances is not protected from Government actors who take advantage of an easily broken
system to peer into a user's computer. People who traverse the Internet ordinarily understand the
risk associated with doing so. Thus, the deployment of the NIT to capture identifying
information found on Defendant's computer does not represent a search under the Fourth
Amendment, and no warrant was needed."

Like many "advances" in solar energy, nobody is going to care about the efficiency gains if they are overshadowed by cost increases.

The article tries to make it sound like a miracle technology that concentrates light "up to 10,000x", but that doesn't mean you get 10,000x more energy out of it, it just means that you can use a much smaller panel since the light is concentrated on a smaller spot by a comparatively large, bulky piece of hardware.

Panels are already pretty cheap, so it's not clear if the cost of a giant glass sphere, plus heavy-duty steel frame, plus tracking hardware will beat just blanketing your roof with stationary panels. It looks cool, sure, and maybe it's a bit more efficient at converting sunlight to electrical energy, but the real figure that's going to matter is the $/kW ratio.

There is no gender neutral tone.
That distinction has been around since the 8-bit era in the '70s and '80s.

A "Home Computer" was a computer intended for use in the home, while a "Personal Computer" was a computer intended for use by a single person.

Home Computers were also Personal Computers, but the reverse wasn't true: many Personal Computers were intended for business use. If everyone at a company had a computer in their cubicle, those computers were Personal Computers, but not Home Computers.

This distinction used to be important because Home Computers and business PCs were separate markets, and the machines were as different as you could imagine. They were made by different companies, used different CPU and bus architectures, and ran different operating systems. For example, in the 8-bit era, business PCs all used Zilog Z80 CPUs on the S-100 bus, were made by a legion of white-box manufacturers, and all ran the CP/M operating system, while Home Computers were made by names such as Commodore, Atari, Tandy, and Apple, typically had MOS 6502 processors (except Tandy, who used the Z80 but not on the S-100 bus), and ran barebones operating systems developed in house, which were little more than BASIC REPLs with some disk I/O features added.

Nowadays almost nobody bothers making the distinction. Yeah, sure, the big companies have separate "home" and "business" product lines, but they're all going to be x86 machines running Windows, and you can get both from the same company (see: Dell's Inspiron and OptiPlex lines), so people don't really make a distinction anymore, and seeing someone use a phrase like "Home Computer" in the 21st century feels like an anachronism.
It mentions that google collects the data in server logs, the telephony in this case may be referring to google voice and not android OS since using android doesn't necessarily imply you're using google servers. (The play store, google services, etc does but can be avoided)
I don't like this syntax: "if: {".
Using ":" for a one line statement is ok, but in most cases you have to use multiple lines and end up with two identifiers that represent the same thing.
Maybe you can make the "{" for multiple lines and ":" for one line.
I like to have an indentifier for one line statements, unlike the C approach.
Can't you declare a bool as constexpr in C++14 (and maybe in 11)?
->The roads traveled least are the nation's deadliest roads

Two factors for that tho.
Firstly is bad road markings. Which computers will be infinately better at handling.

But more importantly is the response time of emergency services and letting someone know theres been an accident.

Even minor injuries end up fatal if no one finds you trapped in the car for a week.
And every second counts for more serious collisions.

Only so much manufacturers can do about either.

Dui and driver fatigue. As you will see are among the big killers. (And before you think "yeah but i dont drive drunk or tired" remember you arent the only person on the road).

Think its just about being carefull with what is meant by "safer" and "other types of driving".

You are more likely to have an accident in busy periods on busy roads.

But you are much more likely to die if you have an accident somewhere quiet or on high speed roads.
FYI, the whole Kudzu thing is completely overblown. It's mostly a myth.

It was specifically planted in many visible areas like highway banks etc, so people's perception is wrongly skewed towards it being everywhere, when it's really not.
Is there a page to check what popular app does not work on F-Droid or Cyanogen? Say something like Nokia's mapping app.
Wow this article is a mess. Launching into speeches about clothing is probably a bad idea. If done on a regular basis, it can make people feel self-conscious and judged all the time. But pulling an individual aside for "almost laughably inappropriate" clothes seems like a reasonable thing to do.

I have to say I don't understand the kitten thing. Is it just that the pun was in bad taste?

It doesn't say which incident prompted the vandalism complaints, but I remember people crossing out "Black Lives Matter" which is, let's say, questionable. This post was flagged dead on HN https://techcrunch.com/2016/02/25/mark-zuckerberg-asks-emplo... Even if it wasn't that incident, I find it very plausible that they were vandalized on other occasions. It's also possible that Zuck overreacted, but the article doesn't really support that.
You're not missing out with Outlook... it's absolute garbage on Android. Use Nine instead, it's better and will work without Google Play Services.
My company is recruiting for a junior web dev role at the moment. None of the advice in this article would be useful passing the first round technical interview. We don't really care if you know deeply complex algorithms or you can implement a doubly linked list. We want a developer who knows the difference between Gulp and Grunt, what SASS is, what an commonJS module is, and who can clone a git repo and spin up a vagrant instance without too much hand holding.

For what it's worth, I have my doubts that this applies to a generic call/sms on any old Android device. I would think it's more likely to apply to services such as the Hangouts calling or Google Voice, and probably Google Fi, all of which make sense to collect that data, but the privacy policy doesn't absolve itself of that.

The implementation of variant in C++17 is very different than in Boost. The Boost variant has a double buffer for the entire variant, and one of these buffers is always kept on the heap even if your variant is on the stack! This acts as a safety net incase the changing of the variant's value were to throw, you can get the old value back.

This implementation did not fly for C++'s goal of being high performance, and thus the new standardized variant is done quite differently.
Yeah, that's fair. Unfortunately, Skype is the requirement for me. I just noted Outlook because a Microsoft PM for it said Play Services was required and there wasn't any way around it.
Threads on other sites are guessing that he's been served with a large take down request and or is being sued for his content. Over night all of his videos have been archived into a torrent for safe keeping should they disappear.
The fact that they found a population willing to overpay and sustain their disgustingly wasteful bureaucracies is not a good thing.

Historically, hacking was effectively an active intrusion into a computer system. Similar to breaking into a home. By this judge's logic, that is not the case.

Most "hacking" today is actually downloading some malicious code, which then takes over the computer system. It's like saying, "Hey, come into my house and go through my stuff. But, only take what you want after you've looked through it."

That'll be the next argument made by the government for a ruling. IANAL, but as scary [and wrong!] as it is, it seems logical.
I read the linked article on Implementers, Problem Solvers, and Problem Finders. I think that, given that the job market is very much on the side of programmers, that people need to be more choosy with what they take. You usually know going into it what you're going to be working on and what kind of company it is. Applying for an iOS job at a place that sells dog toys? I bet you're not going to be feeling like you're using your creative side...
A much better real-world analogy that would fit this case, that the judge should have used, is: Let's say the FBI intercepts a shipment of illegal goods (either counterfeit merchandise, drugs, whatever). They intercept the shipment before it gets to a distributer, and they want to find out who the end customers are. Would they be allowed to put a gps tracker in the individual packages so that it reports their final location once they reach the end customers?
I hope you're trying to do something to light a fire for him. This happened to a relative of mine and I still am trying to get him into more hobbies. He has more free time than he knows what to do with.
Off the top of my head: Bt proteins, copper. There are many more, you can easily google and find a long list.

And yes, that's the same Bt that's in Bt crops, by the way (proteins from Bt bacteria). Organic farmers use it in a spray. It's a natural substance, and they argue the spray causes less resistance than the GM varieties. I really don't have the domain knowledge to say whether they're right.

Not all organic farmers are the same, and over time the meaning of 'organic' has been diluted. Smaller, more idealistic organic farmers mostly don't use pesticides, but there are large commercial organic growers out there who meet the bare minimum for certification and will use whatever pesticides are allowed.
Any references you have on this?

This is my favorite line.
I could. But frankly I'm tired of educating people with racist viewpoints. I'm really thinking that the racism displayed in that post is an intractable problem with (at least here in America), with outlets like Fox News flourishing. So, downvote away. Not being racist isn't rocket science and like I said, I'm pretty much done with carrying the burden of educating racists while they frolick the day away wallowing in their various isms.

What are some companies you see the most potential in?
> They are not only missing the point: they are behaving in a very irresponsible way.

It's actually the opposite. It's them who advocate responsible and reasonable behaviour.

Discouraging GMOs because of "current situation" is the same thing anti-nuclear proponents do with nuclear energy. They'll scare you with Chernobyl and Fukushima in order to discourage all work on nuclear energy, no matter how safe, no matter how different from the things that caused (few, very scope-limited) disasters.

Bashing GMO and genetic engineering in general just because some companies behave somewhat irresponsibly only makes it harder for responsible people to enter this market. Not to mention the very idea that bullshiting people is good for them is kind of stretched.
My guess was the Google line and "Plan on working ~100+ hours a week during sprints. If that scares you, don’t apply." The 100 hours is a little extreme, but I've seen things similar to "If that scares you, don’t apply." in descriptions before.
i thought this would be about studying. walking the campus of usc (univ of southern calif) i was struck by the shocking physical and psychological divide between the asian students, huddled in the library, versus the white students attending what looked to be an on-campus rave in the middle of the quad. the former representing the new kind of usc student, the latter representing the greek / legacy / party stereotype of yesterday's usc. note that usc's academics have skyrocketed in the past decade and my theory is that it is on the backs of new students from asia that is propping up those SAT / matriculation rates, while simultaneously dragging along the detritus of the legacy old guard.

I don't know, but please tell me if you find one. I have F-Droid and Play on my phone, and disabled Google Play Services to see how many of the apps I have installed and use continued to work. Many gave me "must update Play Services" dialogs, some just crashed outright. I've been trying to transition to open apps or apps available outside the Play Store, but unfortunately, Skype is one need I can't work around right now.
Why not both
I'm going to take a long break from this project, I think.

Working with the data has been fun and all and has probably been the biggest learning experience of anything I've ever done... but doing it all on my own has been pretty stressful, especially after trying really, really hard to get some attention through conventional ways. It's really disheartening to have next to zero traction from the city and the local "open gov hack" groups. Many journalists and tech folks who want to help out have their own goals, but I've been finding more and more that their goals are (at the risk of the obvious) largely attention seeking, so "unsexy" stories don't get much attention.

It's a very strange dynamic where so many folk are interested in visualization of data over actually solving problems. I really don't get it. Taking a break from this sort of work will be nice.
These articles are mostly FUD and partly from the bankers as a not so gentle prod to the UK government (Don't forget us, the banks) to deregulate a bit. We'll most likely get a Troy government next so deregulation is almost certain.

Nicotine, rotenone, pyrethrins are just a few examples [1]. They are mostly derived from other plants so are regarded as organic although they can be quite toxic to humans.

Maybe not surprised, but they begrudge everyone else for this more than they do google, and that's what I think sucks. It seems OK for Apple/Google to do whatever they need to do to have a competitive app store with all its analytics and understanding its customer to sell it advertising but if other companies do it, its all the sudden the sky is falling
Congratulations, servo team. This is an exciting milestone. Getting all these eyes on servo is going to accelerate development even more.
How is this ruling possibly justified? By that same logic, breaking into someone's house is also legal because no security system is burglar proof. Also what I still don't understand is that the presence of any counter hacking measures (AV, proxy, VPN services) implies someone creating measures to protect their privacy. None of this makes sense,
I'm in my thirties, and already have some mild chronic health issues that make me not really want to go to work some days. I imagine at 75 it's going to be nearly impossible to get me to go in to work most days. Hopefully everyone lives 24/7 in a VR pod by then.
GMO are probably perfectly healthy. They're probably not much worse than "hybrid" seeds. The problem is handing control of feeding the world to large multinational corporations.

It's been proved again and again that it's perfectly possible to feed the world organically. The "Green Revolution" was essentially a sham, pushing one energy, resource and chemical intensive way of growing food as the only one possible. It's perfectly possible to produce as much with much less standardization.
In other news, hacking in East Virginia is now legal.

While the judge's statement and ruling seem to defy both logic and precedent, this didn't start here, and it doesn't stop here. The government and FBI in particular have long been trying to approach and establish the notion that it's okay for the "good guys" to hack, and not okay for the "bad guys" to hack. This ruling doesn't establish that, but will people in favor of this ruling draw the logical conclusion and say what used to be criminal hacking is no longer a crime, that an online bank has no expectation of privacy and it's being hacked and the money stolen is inevitabile? Would this same judge throw out a case of criminal hacking? I doubt it.
I always dreamed of language without operator overloading, but with builtin vectors and matrices. Maybe they could be easily mapped to SIMD instructions. They can have a bit different operator (like in one PEP [1]).

I know that there are intrinsics for C, but they are non portable. Maybe except NaCl [2].

Also is concatenation of strings only done through usage of $"^(variable)" syntax?

I make the same assumption and the chilling effect is frustrating. I assume everything I type on the internet is able to be tied back to me if anyone at the NSA etc wanted to look at me specifically. Unless you always use a VPN (or Tor) for all of your accounts and go through the unreasonable efforts of preventing browser fingerprinting, chances are this is true for everyone. And even those efforts are thwarted if they seize your devices, unless you use something like Tails OS.

Anonymity on the internet is dead for the regular user and it sucks. I wish something like Freenet was better and had more users/content.
There are plausible data showing benefits from diversity. It looks like a mixture should be preferred.
