Sure, but they are the only people (other than soldiers) endorsed explicitly by the state to commit acts of physical violence.

If you cannot see the issues with using the same standards in regards to them as to normal citizens, you do not understand human nature.
Yes, it is a trial app. Didn't know that App Store would have an issue with that.. Well, they let this slide, so I guess I am okay! :)
For a truly ridiculous example of this, see this "Chaser's War On Everything" clip is which the same guy films a few different sites dressed as an American tourist, and later as a Saudi (in a thobe and gutra - had to look up the terms).

The security response is hilarious in how differently they react when the clothing changes.

(Bonus, watch the same clowns hire a limo + guys in suits jogging alongside and use that to get into a 'secure' conference site in the related video in the sidebar. Comedy gold.)
Serious vulnerability lets attackers hijack Web and chat communications

Of course it has something to do with security.

First, Apple Pay secures all purchases with Touch ID. The only way to make NFC cards as convenient is to skip asking for PINs. That's less secure.

Second, providing direct developer access to NFC on the phone would open up an attack surface. It would inevitably result in more hacks.

I find it ironic that you are arguing monopolization when the issue is literally banks seeking to act as a cartel. Apple is not a monopoly. It has healthy competition in the form of Samsung.

The impact isn't in discovering a vuln in the software. The impact (as stated in the abstract) is a way to further fingerprint and de-anonymize Tor users and other users who are trying to maintain privacy.
From the pricing docs you qouted - the smallest standard instance is an F1 which costs $0.05/hr and has a 600mhz cpu + 128mb ram.

Compare this too flex VMs where the smallest machine is $0.038/hr and have beefier CPU and 3.75Gb of ram.

Doesn't it always make sense to use the flex VMs? The only downside being min 1 instance and slower autoscaling.
You should file a complaint with the citizen's complaint review board. This behavior is unacceptable.

Any insight into why specific teams/managers aren't being anonymously named and shamed at this point if it is that bad? Seems almost inevitable at this point.
It looks like they redid classification markings in 2006, so what I thought I knew (and likely the same for plenty of people here) is probably not applicable. In particular, there's a release date now, or a statement saying how the declassification is handled.

Here's the newer instruction so you can see if any of it is applicable to what you found: https://www.fas.org/sgp/othergov/dod/af053006.pdf
But it's much better if you only have to deal with it in software, only when it's strictly needed.

Currently, we just turn any random problem into a cache invalidation one, and hope it makes our life easier.
I think this is my main problem with Google services. It takes them forever to listen to people. And I don't think other cloud services listen any better but at least it seems they give you what you want faster. So they have a better mechanism to know what works and making a product of it.

Exactly. So many devs thrust into the role of interviewer basically just want to look for people who are like them, or find ways to flatter themselves at the expense of the interview process. So many interviews boil down to "guess what answer I'm thinking of", even when that answer isn't actually the best solution to the problem, and often when there's no straightforward way to get to that answer unless you already know of it. And that's on top of all of the other ridiculous problems in the "hiring funnel" that lead up to that point. It's crazy how few people are actually invested in improving the situation given that there's such a huge return on investment possible.

Interesting. I've seen some other work done on gradient-aware demosaic using directional masks, and the devil appears to be in the details: it can reconstruct a lot of sharpness when images are aligned with masks, but it also tends to take images that aren't aligned with the masks and "forceably align" them -- e.g., circles get turned into polygons, etcetera.

Perhaps the additional green resolution on X-Trans sensors can help avoid this some. But I'd be interested to see how well this ends up doing on trickier images...
At HN at least, it looks like the +1's do some work in prioritising both posts and comments. That is, newer entries are shown first, but high-voted ones stay near the top longer.

At least that's the vague impression I have gleaned.
No, there is not a simple way to convert flash to html5. I say from experience, we look for it for years.

Moreover, you can rewrite a game in html5 from scratch, if it is simple enough, but it will be slower, less smooth, and require some latest browser versions to run at all.
Hi there - this is Kevin Grassi, MD with the PB team. You are absolutely correct that many primary care doctors rely on the patient to provide a medical history and rarely need the specific information located in the medical record. However, if you have complex medical issues, your primary care doctor may want to see specific data - especially lab or imaging reports.

Many specialist doctors need to see previous medical records before evaluating and treating the patient. This is especially true in oncology. We work with the Smilow Cancer Hospital, part of the Yale-New Haven Hospital, to help ensure that all oncology patients present for their first visit with a complete medical record.

One final note that is my assessment of how physicians operate in the current system - doctors are accustom to working with incomplete information. PatientBank is striving to make previous medical information more accessible to your next doctor. My hope here is that increased access to information will cause doctors to pay more attention to your data and lead to better care.

Thanks for your question! I hope this clarifies things.
Don't be silly. "Truth" has context. This is like saying you should tell everybody about the trouble you have in your marriage - because "truth". The new employer has no business knowing what trouble you had internally - and worse, new employers don't like it because they will assume what you do in this interview you will do in the next one - when you leave that new job and now talk about the new company's internals.
Medical histories are useful when thinking about diagnosis and management. The problem is that they're rarely accessible in a concise or summarized format. Medical systems produce huge amounts of paperwork, even a simple day trip to an A+E department will produce about 30 sheets of paper, and there's no automated way to extract the pertinent information from that. Its much easier to just ask the patient about important things in their medical history, and if any of the previous diagnoses are particularly significant you can delve into the previous records.
It's both! That's the whole point - the same sequence of bytes can be interpreted as either an HTML web page or a JPEG image, and the page itself demonstrates both at the same time.
Blocking Facebook ads on Facebook isn't denying them any information at all. As I already said in another comment, Facebook already has all this information. All you're doing by blocking their ads is refusing to see the ad, you're not protecting your privacy at all.

And I'm also confused by your talk about favorable distribution. Isn't seeing ads relevant to your interests better than seeing ads unrelated to your interests? The problem with targeted tracking isn't that it's targeted, it's that it relies on information whose collection is a privacy violation. But when we're talking about a company that you've already voluntarily given massive amounts of behavioral data to, then you've voluntarily given up your privacy so there's no violation going on.
That is super sweet. It looks sort of similar to how Dwarf Fortress generates its geographies.

You should look at how that game does it because it also involves creating a whole mythology and history to help generate civilizations and their fall/rise.

"One weird trick" ads aren't targeted advertising, they're advertising based on psychological tricks. It's a whole different ballgame. Targeted advertising is based around "if we show ads relevant to the user's interests, the user is more likely to click them and buy stuff", which is a win all around. Ads based on psychological tricks is "can we trick the user into doing something that's harmful to them but beneficial to us?", which is of course not good for users. Conflating the two advertising techniques doesn't serve any purpose at all.

Only statement in your comment that I disagree with: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_Air_Lines#History
About exporting the data we gather to a new PHR and integrating the new information to patient's existing chart:

There seems to be a couple options!

1) Once we gather your records, we will work on creating a shareable summary of your health history. In that case, the physician can look at that summary via our web portal.

2) In many cases, most EHRs support the upload of PDFs. So, the documents you share can be "integrated" to hospital's EHR. This already happens in large hospital networks when hospitals gather medical records on behalf of patients before their appointments! When hospitals receive the records via fax or mail, they scan the pages to the EHR. Obviously, in the future, easier ways to export data (via EHR integrations) could be extremely valuable to patients and physicians!
Also because all of the tooling was terrible and extensibility was non-existent. It's easy to imagine a world where XHTML worked out better because the browsers provided clear, informative errors rather than a blank page, someone at the W3C cared enough to have a usable validator which produced helpful warnings and errors, and attention was paid to the less friendly bits of the XML ecosystem[1].

Instead, it felt like we had a bunch of people who though that big lofty standards were so obviously correct that everyone else would take care of those boring implementation details, and 99.9999% of web developers correctly realized that there was very little measurable downside to sticking with something which was known to work.

1. Simple examples: namespacing is a good idea but it leads to gratuitous toil in most tools – e.g. a valid XML document which has <foo> should just work if you write a selector for /foo, as present in the document, rather than requiring you to do kludgey things like have to lard up every parser registering the same namespaces which are also declared in the document and writing fully-qualified selectors like /mychosenprefix:foo or /{http://example.org/fooschema/1.0}foo for every tag, every time.

Similarly, getting XPath 2.0 support to actually ship in enough tools to be usable would have made one of the better selling points for using XML actually exist as far as the average working programmer is concerned.

These are not the only two outcomes of resisting, and that is not the only way to win.

Any idea how much it presently costs to access codes such as these? Do the codes explicitly apply to large construction projects, or are they across the board (single-family dwelling <-> 50-story high-rise)?
I would argue that, at least for NSA, there is significant value in having information not improperly over-classified. I used to work at an institution that did research on some NSA projects, and almost no one was willing to touch a project that was all classified to hell. Popping in the SCIF for some background info was all well and good, but no one wanted to spend 40-60 hours a week in an office with short hours, no windows, and no music.

So from this I think you could say this is a universal microsoft secureboot implementation bypass. all you need is the signed policy file and an older more obscure (signed) non-blacklisted bootmgr and you can exploit secureboot to glory.

its almost certainly going to be used for malware - a return of bootkits for invisibility/persistence?

microsoft will have to keep revoking older bootmgr's as they find them in jailbreak utils and bootkit malware. eventually they will run out, but for now, busted.

It's logical to expect emotional responses, but it's not logical to get carried away by your emotions to the point of murder, and pretend like you're doing something great.
Are you worried about the consolidation going on among hospitals i.e the fact that it seems like hospitals are becoming part of a group and thus end up having unified medical record systems?

For example, Palo Alto Medical Foundation has hospitals spread across the Bay Area. Some of the hospitals don't offer all the services but if you walk into a new branch for a specialized treatment, your new doctor will simply look up your old record or order it internally if they are not yet on the network.
I can't say, really. I have written a lot of Javascript/Coffee/Java/Scala/C#/F#/Python/PHP, and made a bunch of crappy websites, but I have never written any code in a language that compiles to assembly (500 lines of C in 20-50 line snippets for various classes probably doesn't count).

While I consider myself "pretty experienced" at doing web-stuff, and thus knowing the pain-points and constraints and prior work, I have no clue at all what the world of C/C++ is like. Scala-Native is in that world, so someone who has a Scala + C/C++ background would have much better instincts than I would
> 2. It's excessive use of operator overloading.

Overloading at least some could be useful.
Java 10+ will probably allow something like this, too.
You ever worked with BigDecimal?

In Python, Scala where + (__add__) is overloadable you do.

BigDecimal(1) + BigDecimal(2) + BigDecimal(3)

On Java:

(new BigDecimal(1).append(new BigDecimal(2)).append(new BigDecimal(3)

I think you get the point..
I mean, I'm guessing here, but wouldn't simplest way be starting mid-way in the existing Rust compiler to port an intermediate language to GCC? Straight-up compile it to GCC C or whatever GCC does internally. That way, you get the parsing, analysis, etc for free plus any improvements they make. Lots of other languages used this approach.
And you gotta remember the star rating given by the reviewer isn't always accurate according to their own review. I've seen several reviews where they gave amazon 3 stars, despite the fact that they said there was an abusive working environment with stack ranking, politics, 80 hour work weeks and backstabbing. If that's 3 stars, that's awful.

> If a hacker steals your money the bank has an obligation to make you whole and the courts will absolutely see to it that you are made whole

I didn't say the hackers would steal it from the bank, but even so that wouldn't matter.

Banks have no legal obligation except in a very few cases of certain types of card misuse. And how do the courts make you whole when hackers have sent money to Russia?

> especially if we're talking about hundreds of millions of dollars.

No, only if you're talking about hundreds of billions. Small and medium theft is ignored, large theft and incompetence may be bailed out if you'll take someone down with you.

> In "meat-space" the legal system would have very easily halted this insanity

This one slow-motion train wreck? Sure. Well, maybe. Unless the attacker had done something across jurisdictions, etc. Then it'd be years before anything, even freezing an account, could be done.

> "theft and mismanagement" is always a risk when you're lending people money

No, you don't get it. The point is to remove Kickstarter, etc. The projects themselves are still an issue of course, but that's at least the point of the exercise.

>>* Paypal has frozen and seized many individual and project accounts*

> Irrelevant.

Not at all, it's one of the risks inherent in the classical system. Every third project has a horror story about frozen funds and that's not counting what the individuals themselves go through before they donate.

>> credit card companies are forbidden to let you donate to Wikileaks

> Irrelevant.

Only if you wouldn't donate to WikiLeaks or a related project. But yeah, I can see how that wouldn't interest you.

> Escrows and agents already existed long before smart contracts, so that's not a useful feature.

Not trusted escrow, your funds could be frozen for reasons like donating to WikiLeaks, or simply stolen from the agent.

> but you haven't demonstrated "tons of features".

No, you haven't acknowledged them. You're a thirsty equine by a large body of water but I can't do this last bit for you.

Show HN: Garage11 – p2p webapp
I've been working on a p2p webapp called Garage11(https://github.com/garage11) for quite some time now. It is not near a stable version yet, but it already (incompletely) handles some issues like e2e encryption(webcrypto/node subtle ECDH/AES GCM), db storage/ remote db(js-data + custom js-data adapter), vdom(ractive) and a peer/transport/connector abstraction(lib11) that runs in Node and in Chrome(haven't tested yet with other browsers).

The idea is that you can change the data-context of the requested webapp by selecting one of the connected nodes from an overlay network. Currently i'm trying to make it work for a simple blog and node user management. Progress is going steady but slowly, because I work alone on this project. After blog/user management and basic permissions, I would like to work on a webrtc transport, which would allow to setup webrtc connections without a central sdp message broker. Other features I'm thinking of in the long run is a slack-like messenger and delayed message delivery using in-between nodes.

I would like to validate this idea, to see if I'm heading in the right direction. Also I can use some tips on how to accelerate this project.
A broken preliminary version is running at https://garage11.io/
