The most puzzling example of a shipped car I saw was a Geo Prizm going in to the USAF airbase at RAF Lakenheath.

I could understand the big Crown Vics imported by the USAF police to patrol the nearby roads, but to import a small car based on the Toyota Corolla that was common on UK roads...?
What a disaster of a bug report, on so many levels.

Speaking as a foss maintainer, to other foss maintainers out there: When you're systematically adopting a defensive attitude towards someone who believes found an important flaw in your project, you're the one being rude. You're refusing to hear people out. I see this awful attitude far too often.

On Github, it's even worse nowadays where a lot of maintainers immediately fall back to locking the bug report so that they don't have to think about it anymore. At least here there is some form of discussion going on. But that's with a lot of fingers in a lot of ears, and nobody trying to be practical...
Apparently bloggers consider this a feature, because they want the content that they are putting to be considered "evergreen", and seeing [2008] on a blog post makes a lot of people bounce right off and discount the whole thing. Well, that's the idea, anyway.
I would like to recommend one more MOOC that covers different models (economic models, modelling people behavior, randomness, collective actions -Prisoner's dilemma, segregation models) and make you start thinking about the world in term of models.

Oh - I was using 'reason' as is often used in the informal vernacular - to mean why or follows from. I assumed that most people on here would understand from the context. But, I can see now that it's a loaded word given the subject - sorry to confuse.
Or they just want to cut out unnecessary layers. You don't really want an extra level between the group demanding the features and the group implementing them.

Feedback about technical feasibility, time to implement et cetera really needs to go directly to the group demanding the feature, and their responses need to come directly back to the group implementing it. A competent middle man can help those two groups interact, but generally adding an extra middle layer reduces everybody's ability to function well.

Is there a text version or an article about this?
> Commenting on the release, Sebastian Haselbeck of Tarantino fansite Tarantino.info says that while he’s not a fan of piracy, he believes that a failure to serve the market is the real problem.

> “I strongly condemn piracy and find it generally damaging, but it is a symptom, not the source, of market failure,” he told TF.

That's it right there. Music piracy took a long time to sort out because it was inaccessible. Now through Spotify/Apple Music/Youtube I struggle to find anyone who pirates music in my peers (it was prolific). It's not perfect yet and I think there's still some change to come but it's certainly ahead of the film industry.

If you read to the end, it has this nice quote about the coffin size from a primary source:

I eventually found a transcript of the coffin maker’s book. Here it is, in his own words: “Emlea Jane Bronty. Died Dec 19th 1848 in the 30 year of hir Age. Coffen 5ft 7” long 16” broad.”

Note that the measurement there matches the body size, not the outside of the coffin with the wood included.
A few years ago I worked for a gift card manufacturer and I was tasked with creating random PAN numbers for a gift card product for a large high street retailer (sadly no longer with us). I read up on it and couldn't find any decent guide as to how to produce CSPRNG - and to be fair, there was very little information in 'layman' terms about what CS meant in this context. As I couldn't be certain that any of the software routes available to me were secure I ended up purchasing this http://www.protego.se/ to generate the random numbers.

I am not convinced that random numbers were required for the security element of the gift cards, but I don't believe there were any reports of any fraudulent activity based on unknown numbers.

Developments in this arena over the last 10 years would have made my job a lot easier!

Filmmakers themselves talk about movies being culture as well as entertainment, and without piracy, being part of contemporary culture become (even more) a matter of your disposable income. So regardless if it is moral or not ( what is moral is not easily established in a global context ) we can ask if piracy does more good than bad for society ? Is there an even better alternative ?

In the end, copyright is based on laws created by governements as trade agreements, rarely involving the voting public when it's not a dictator or monarch making the rules. In effect copyright is a matter of law, not moral, and sometimed the law is not moral. In this case, I stay my judgement as it can only cloud the real issues.

Personally I think everybody who is not an adult, without a job or a home should by default be allowed free access to anything we call culture. Being part of society is - which everyone should be - is down to having a shared context. The so called entertainment is a major part of this, and without access to it you become an 'other', the outsider.

Moral or not.

Burglars suing the owner also happened to France, which has a very crime friendly legislation.

For instance if you break in a house while the owner is on holidays, and stay a few days, not only the owner would have to go to court for years to kick you out, but the owner is not even legally permitted to enter his own house until after the execution of the eviction, after all appeals have been exhausted.

This. Also inconvenience, time spent, process complexity etc.

In fact piracy can cost so much, people pay actual money to avoid it. I think that is why Spotify et al. are so popular among prior pirates.
I understand this is just a dummy example, but to make the code easier to read and understand you should inline functions that are only used once, unless it has a lot of reusability. There's a fine line between abstraction and obscurity.

STD testing is usually free at country health programs.

A lot of people assume there's something uniquely bad for you in the structure of granulated table-sugar crystals, I think. Maybe it's because they're often found as a white powder. ;)

Of course, what's "bad for you" is just that humans can metabolize sugars as easily and fully as they do. To get away from that, you either need non-sugars (aspartame et al), or sugar alcohols.

Personally, I kind of wish everything with HFCS just replaced it all with xylitol or somesuch, but apparently people really like feeding leftovers to their dogs.
No, insurance will never pay for that kind of test. Insurance only pays for medically necessary testing.

The employer will pay, or very rarely the employee, and even then usually the way it works is if you pass the test they give you back your money in your first paycheck.
I don't know DCP, but from reading wikipedia it's something different than HDCP:

HDCP is encryption during transmission (like SSL), e.g. encryption while transferring the movie data through the HDMI cable. It is not used for encrypting data on a storage medium (like CSS, and apparently also DCP are).

Modern DRM schemes like AACS

find a key that allows them to
circumvent the DRM scheme they
can't publish it or it would
soon get useless and they would
have to do the work to extract
a key again.

Okay, just think about this for a minute.

Who would EVER care about a cipher key, when YOU STILL NEED TO EXPOSE THE RAW PIXEL RASTER, AND AUDIO CHANNELS TO THE END USER, IN ORDER FOR ANYTHING TO BE VALUABLE AT ALL?

Users will always eventually get the whole thing in the clear, in straight-up plain text somehow, eventually anyway. And all anyone needs is a buffer big enough to capture it, and it's trivial to assemble one.

You need to be able to watch a movie with the naked eye, and hear the sound with your ears. That's how movies work.

It's trivial to capture the raw data, and people have been living with NTSC quality picture and sound for decades.

This is not about perfectly matching the SHA256 hashes of the original MPEG artifacts. People just want a copy, and it's easy to skim one, somehow, one way (cracking) or another (brute force direct copies of the image frames and pulse code samples, at the signal source).

It's a single process managing multiple disks with a fixed-size extent system on each.

1. The process has a single passphrase entered at startup.

2. This passphrase is then used to derive the master key encryption key for each disk using the disk's own parameters (KDF_SALT, KDF_ITERATIONS) which are generated and estimated when the disk is formatted and added to the array (disks may come and go).

3. The master key encryption key for each disk is then used to decrypt the AF-split master key for each disk, similar to LUKS.

I spent a lot of time context switching (lots of roles, go-to guy for fixing things) so lists are a key tool in keeping me sane.

I've tried many things over the years but settled on Quip. The availability of the app on many platforms (mobile, desktop) means I can pretty much take notes anywhere (except the shower; I have pen and paper for that and transfer it to Quip later).

The shared notebook functionality allows me to easily organize my thoughts and share with others as necessary. This works for both short lists and longer documents. For example, I've built a fairly extensive document on HTTPS configs and best practices over time just by filling things in as I go along.

No relationship to Quip. Just a very happy user.

Some people believe that copyright infringement is a morally acceptable response to copyright terms changing from limited to effectively infinite duration.
Yes, of course, but it's a lossy copy since you're de-compressing and then re-compressing the content. (At 4k is that as important? I dunno, I'm not a movie fanatic.)
As far as I know, MXF basically contains JPEG pictures and because of that, it can't use motion prediction algorithms used in modern video codes, so the size of 40 GB for a 4K video in H.264 format is possible.
But I agree that it's better to see the original decrypted container.

The Swedish Government are as good as professional loan-sharks at getting back what they are due, and sometime using similar tactics.

Case in point, my country was paid $28 million in 1929 by the Swedish Government (or a specific Swedish company, not sure) so that the Swedes would take over control over the entire matches market in Romania, becoming a monopolist, in fact. This by itself is no thing to brag home about, but that's how capitalism works.

20 years later a new regime is installed, the communists, who don't have a pretty view on capitalism much less so on monopolistic practices in which they are not the main actors, so they decide to nationalize the Romanian matches industry from under the Swedes' control.

Come 1989 and the fall of Communism the Swedes become active again and now ask us for $800 million as compensation, never mind that most probably the initial investment had most certainly paid by itself in those 20 years in which it had monopolistic control over a quite big market. To make sure that they get their money back a Swedish official even bribes one of our economy ministers with around $600,000 (for which said Swedish official had some issues at home, probably nothing came out of it), and it all got settled down for "only" $120 million in 2003.

This only happens because countries like Sweden have a disproportionate influence on the world stage. We (Romania) also got swindled out of $1 billion by Saddam's Iraq, the cost of us selling things and services to them in the 1980s. After Saddam fell the Iraqi Government and its babysitters (the US) never felt the urgency of paying us back, our Government also closed their eyes because the US is "actively protecting us against the bad Russian Bear from the East", plus, if a country like Romania would ask for such a big sum of money back you can be pretty sure that no-one in the Western media would pick the story up like it happened in Sweden's case.

How much do you write code on Java?

Such functional namespaces were part of Java from the very beginning (Math is a good example and with release of Java 8 now there are many more in standard library). I have not seen an enterprise project yet, in which there's no something ending with Utils or Helper, that is just a collection of functions. Such naming is an anti-pattern, of course, but still, almost every developer in Java world uses this and has it part of it's development culture.

Wow, didn't know that. That's some serious next-level stuff.
a typical cinema release is a
pretty big file - frame-by-frame
encoded as jpg2000 in 4k. Often
shipped on hard drives, or
downloaded via dedicated fiber
lines.

This is not a show stopper. All you need is one unlocked copy to drop in the open, and then everyone can work on it, and get it packed up in a more reasonable format.

This all works due to proprietary
hardware - the modifications to the
4k cinema projectors that enable
decryption almost at the lens/imaging
chip can cost as much as the projector
itself, doubling the price of the
projector (last I heard from around
15k to 30k USD).

So, yeah, that's great, but the only level of piracy that could deter is the pixel-perfect variety. A motivated individual with a comparable budget could probably optically extract a high quality duplicate with an expensive digital video camera (and perhaps even a beam splitter), and pull signal from the speaker transducers with professional audio recording equipment.

There'd be no real need to tamper with proprietary hardware or intrude on the chasis of the projector. With reasonable equipment, it's likely that a person could reproduce a re-recording of a movie that is very-nearly indistinguishable from the factory source, perhaps except for negligible artifacts that might irritate only the holiest of true believers.
