I'm under the impression that the last level of decryption is done in the projector chip itself. So while accessing the unencumbered stream is theoretically possible, it definitely requires a lot more than a moderate amount of reverse engineering skill and serious amounts of equipment.

I always create a list of things I did and that somehow helps me reflect on things I may have missed or could have done better. Not exactly a todo list but it works for me.
Do you carry your notebook with yourself everywhere?
Greater abundance devalues the relative productivity of labour to machinery. But in the contemporary case, there is not enough demand (ie. low/no economic/population growth in the rich world) to valorise the greater abundance, hence the relative devaluation of labour is to a much greater extent.

In the same way that computers can beat the best human chess and go players, machines are beating a large (and ever increasing) proportion of human labour. This is lost ground. We will end up doing labour for 'fun' (ie. non-economic ends) since we cannot compete on economic grounds.
I understand that at first glance this has some appeal to web developers since it looks somewhat familiar to them. But have you actually tested this yourself?

This is a seriously undermanned Google project, which at the same time is trying to solve a huge problem and create a new development ecosystem at the same time. Suffice to say, many things are broken.
Which is a really good argument for never developing for the Google eco-system. Because you can't afford to invest in a platform where if something goes wrong you're just f*cked.

Don't get me wrong but, would a "do not use FB or Facebook in your extension name" reply be such difficult to respond? In my understanding, support is there to help users (developers in this case).

I agree that the developer should have guessed that by himself, but the real issue here I believe is the lack of any useful response, the automatic takedown of the extension and no way to get any response after "expending" the apparent "two tries" that you get from Google when something like this happens.
so then hire 200 customer service people to handle the queries when the algorithms go awry? surely there is an algorithm they can devise that will identify when the other algorithms have made mistakes.

I'm not understanding your point - which may be completely on me - but your example here - why would the "child" universe require more memory than the parent has available?

I would have rather used the GUI tooling of a NeXT, which eschews the UNIX traditions even though it builds partially on top of them, than the Solaris way of programming GUIs, if given the option.

Just because I could only access green phosphor terminals, doesn't mean I wasn't aware of other, more expensive, options.
Responsiveness is not the same as performance. Responsiveness is how quickly it responds to user-input. So, for example, if you click on the Back-Button, then it highlights the Back-button to let you know that you have indeed successfully clicked the Back-button and that it is working on going back a page. How quickly it highlights that button after you've clicked it, that's how responsive it is in that aspect. Actually going back a page, i.e. loading the page from cache and rendering it, that's then again a performance-metric.

But you are also quite clearly underestimating how terrible modern browsers are. Mozilla is also currently working on a research browser called "Servo", which has been written completely from scratch and employs a more modern architecture, and that isn't too far away from 400-700% performance increase over other browsers in certain aspects.
> grievances to burn all bridges

You shouldn't be waiting that long. For a civil conversation to be had you need to bring it up as soon as it starts happening.

Lets say for example that I am really really bad at remembering names. I am working with a coworker who only wants to be called by their full last name, not an abbreviation. Not knowing this, I start calling them by their abbreviation and it annoys them significantly. They then confront me about this and I explain why I didn't call them by their full name. I agree to try harder and they agree to work on correcting me when I make the mistake. It's a win win. We've crushed and bad feelings between us, resolved the problem with the best possible outcome, and now I get to correctly refer to my coworker.

This only worked since they contacted me as soon as they realized my mistake and gave me a chance to explain myself.

My wife is Chinese and has told me many of the ridiculous English names people have. We've heard Cinderella before. My favorite that we've encountered was a young woman named Pancake.

It's not just a problem of limited access to information, but also limited knowledge of what qualifies as a good English name. All of the people we've encountered were from Hong Kong, which has no Great Firewall to contend with. We've also seen many people using names that haven't been popular in the West in a long time, like Eugene or Doris.
The point is not whether you're being selfless or not. You should have put a disclaimer about your involvement with Baqqer in your first post. Now the stink from hidden advertisement just covers the actual message.
I have to admit this was exactly the first thing that came to mind. However, it works in this case because the defecting pilot was Russian. lol

I was just reproducing the term trademark infringement from the article.

I also do agree that FB here is somehow taking advantage of said laws to send to /dev/null the extension that renders one of their revenue streams ineffective.

I'm no expert in US trademark laws by any means, maybe they're entitled to leverage it for these kind of cases.

Piero Scaruffi: intelligence is not artificial
I really hate having to pay for tenant background checks now. It gives the background check company free reign to change whatever they want and they are friggin expensive! My state allows landlords to pass down the exact cost of the background check to the tenant which really isn't fair IMO, it should be considered a cost of doing business.

I solved that problem by purchasing a house. Landlords around here have gotten crazy since the housing bubble burst.
It can be complicated. For example, now you're not advertising to your most engaged users, so advertising on the service becomes less valuable.
The article is blithe about how we overcome economic dislocation. During the first industrial revolution, farmers were made obsolete and had to crowd into cities looking for wages. Children worked in factories and poorhouses. I don't know if this was worse than farm life, but the art of the period depicted it as such.

Some people never recover from economic dislocation. They either abstain from having children because they sense how marginal they are, or they have families anyways and raise children with few opportunities.

I am using genetic propagation as a measure of human success, which of course is arguable, but which means a lot to many people. More importantly if a human line dies out, there is no voice for it anymore. Such losses are silent and largely ignored by the historical record. So this economist is gravely undercounting the human suffering that technological change can bring.
Even that doesn't work in this case ...

If you meant thousands literally, I think it's a relatively low number. There's always going to be a large group of people seeding popular files to improve their ratio on a specific tracker. They're probably not even interested in those specific files. It's just for better reputation on the site.

BT trackers do. And with enough seeds / pretend-seeds you can get a fairly precise numbers of downloaders.

There's still a number of countries where Spotify is not exactly cheap. Or where you can't get easy access to a permanent connection for streaming. But those places aren't huge record label customers either.
As of WordPress 4.4.0, wp_rand() is fine.

I had already suggested (to Dion Hulse) that this antipattern of pinging wordpress.org to define the salts during setup be removed in favor of always generating them locally.

I don't know if/when they'll implement that (no matter what benefits a security fix might provide, WordPress always prioritizes "no BC breaks even on 0.0001% of the installed base" first), but if you're looking for a more secure CMS I happen to be building one here:

It makes sense not to have humans responding about how their site is indexed or removed, because that's pretty much everyone.

However, they should really consider hiring support staff for:

* Their paying customers

* The partners bringing value to their products, typically extension developers and Android app developers
Strange, from my perspective Firefox is very widely used.

And for me Chrome/Chromium has just to many usability bugs, to be used productive. E.g. Tabbar doesn't scroll, not very good extensions available (e.g. regex search) and its more difficult to select head of tail of the url (in firefox just click in middle and drag down/up wards)
erowid is a fine source for experiential reports and technical information on the botany and/or pharmacology of the substances involved.

My Firefox web browser is serverless.

Now in a world without web servers, Firefox would not be very useful at all. The same with your tool.

Decentralized, its not, not requiring a stable internet connection is called working "offline".

Please avoid ambiguity.
I guess it is not using "Facebook" or in your case "Yahoo" in your extension name, but changing the content for a user of a Facebook or Yahoo page is what is triggering the remove of the extension. If it is against the TOS (or Platform Policy) I don't see how else they are supposed to react if the get a complain.
I figure that if we did live in a computer simulation it's been 13.8 billion years since the last downtime. I'm skeptical software could run for so long without any catastrophic bugs.
You still implied that being a paid customer vs user made a difference. It kind of doesn't for some services... but that's good, that's an opportunity for the competition to piggy back on that : "We're not Google, here you'll benefit from a real customer service!".

The worst is that google doesn't even have good tools that allow its community of users to help each others, aside from a mediocre Q&A forum.
Not real time, but entertaining nonetheless.

You quoted "equality before the law".

I don't see how people can be equal if some are taxed and the money is given to others.

I know you must be thinking that "equality before the law" is just to have a clear law like "everybody will be taxed if they meet so and so requirements" and apply that to everybody, but consider that a law could be written in exactly that same way, but instead saying "every people will be taxed if they are black". The distinctions the law make are arbitrary.
The economic model for writing apps for closed distribution platforms, or -stores is kind of serfdom without manorial courts. You sign of your rights for being heard or listened. You are in the mercy of the platform owner.

From the point of platform owner this kind of indifference and arbitrariness is justified with low cost and it's not going to go away. They only need to keep the frequency of occurrences within acceptable limits.
> urandom by definition doesn't block.

That's precisely why getrandom(2) is preferred on newer kernels, and the following hacky workaround from the article is given on older kernels:

For software that runs during the Linux boot, poll /dev/random until it's available.
This means /dev/urandom has been seeded and you can safely read from /dev/urandom for
all your cryptographic purposes. Don't read from /dev/random.
And I thought this post is about writing programs that write programs. Metaprogramming.
Sure you can. There is just noticeable delay and "glitches" in the simulation.

No, no one "left" someone under occupation, it wasn't the decision to make for the West in the first place. The responsibility for the US is primarily for what happens in the US, the same is true for the UK and Romania.

Romanians ran the Gestapo like security apparatus called "Securitate", Romanians ran the Romanian army and Romanians ran the Romanian government. Whatever happened in Romania is primarily the fault of Romanians. Don't tell me how I should have fought or even died for your freedom, better ask yourself why your people didn't do it.

There are examples of other countries (like Socialist Yugoslavia) that fought for their freedom against the Nazis, and who then stayed independent from the Soviets. (even though Stalin threatened to invade)

When the Nazis came the Romanians went along with them and submitted (not only that, but they also supplied hundreds of thousands of soldiers), when the Soviets came the Romanians went along with them and submitted. (again supplied soldiers to fight for their cause)

What you are essentially doing by calling them victims is asking for some higher authority that should make things right that you don't want to fight for yourself. Maybe some United Nations Socialist world government? I can tell you with absolute certainty that we are not going to have any of that. Maybe you will though, it is your own choice. But don't blame us when it doesn't work out the way you hoped.
On my computer, I can write 2D simulations, or 1D. Or even 4D or 5D. The simulated universe doesn't have to have any relation to the host one.

of course, you're exactly right. there is a lot of nuance and depth to Hunter and many people wrongly conflate the man himself with his character Raoul Duke, who was a hyperbolic representation of Hunter's own libertine tendencies.

that said, yeah man, he really did do a lot of drugs, and wrote about it too. he was, however, a much more grounded and reasonable person than Tim Leary, and to his credit. Leary's excesses poisoned the well for a generation.

Ah I see, so serverless service is a way to say "I am so high up higher than your puny little cloud down there".

No offense to you personally, its just funny how our industry invents new words every year or so, it gets hard to keep uptodate.
Part of the problem is the way you stated it - a hierarchy of 'power'.

If you focus on a hierarchy of 'ownership' instead, it's much better for everyone.

There's a fantastic book (Extreme Ownership) that talks about how this is used within the US Navy Seals, and how it empowers the people doing the job, rather than dictating what they should do.

Decisions do need to be taken with regards to direction - they shouldn't necessarily enforce 'how' that direction should be achieved.
You can always trust Vice to keep this industry covered.

> After 3 months of trying everything I could think of, I give up.

Frankly, it would have taken just one thing - remove references to Facebook. I know that's basically amounting to doing some linguistic gymnastics in order to express what your extension does, but you _did_ in fact use a trademark without their consent, and ostensibly in a way that reduces their revenue stream. This really isn't a Graffino v Google issue.

Expecting "due process" is also an unrealistic complaint in this scenario.

> I just want you to think twice before creating a revenue stream based on the Chrome Web Store.

Forget the Chrome Web Store. Think twice before creating a revenue stream based on any service that can pull out the rug at any moment. If you don't control your own destiny things like this can and will happen.
Sorry I'm not sure what you mean, as I understand it, the ADS-B signals are just being acquired with a receiver on the 'boat' and then relayed via satellite.

I'm not familiar with that argument, so I'm just going based off your summary, but to me that sounds eerily similar to people who claim that life cannot evolve because it is too complex.
