He's very careful to push away anything around clawing back the $120+ million from the person that was the manager of that group, Carrie Tolstedt. This is why people hate big banks. They pay a minor fine but there isn't a penalty to the C and C- level execs.

Wells stock went from $50 to $45 around the news, but it's back up to $46 today, so even Wall Street is "ho, hum, business as usual"
I dunno.

There's a lot of conceptual metaphors and sometimes even structure from geometry in higher maths, but this is sometimes very abstract and merely makes reference to non-geometric ideas about geometry previously developed.

For example, in the kind of stochastic calculus quant finance people learn, there's an isometry (like a transformation that preserves size in some sense) between two very different kinds of continuous, non-enumerable spaces. Geometric intuition is of no help there -- you did learn what an isometry was in high school so you know the word, but you can't see function spaces in any way, shape or fashion.

OTOH what I'm working on for my dissertation is "geometric integrators" for certain kinds of differential equations where the isometries and references to geometry are more direct; basically, the most common numerical solvers for initial value problems in ODEs preserve certain invariants and are useful for many many problems, but sometimes you want computation to preserve some sense of volume -- clasically, in mechanics. So even though many problems are too abstract to be seen, the notion of volume conservation is the best way to acquire the basic notions of the field.

Have you thought through the first principles? What is it about the Commodore/AmigaOS brand that is worth resurrecting? Is it hardware? Is it software? Will this redesign be a competitive advantage to current OSes? Does the world need another OS?

Interesting "Federal, State and Local Laws". So what happens when the self driving car violates a law and the police office pulls it over. Who gets the ticket? If there is no steering wheel... can it even get pulled over?
Ah, you're right, it does look like that's the case. It's a shame it's not something better supported (like a cortex variant).
Under the assumption that it will increase onshore hiring. But it prolly won't in this case. So onshore team will feel more insecure and keep thinking which low cost team is next.
Yeah, the feeds are sent unencrypted, command centers keep getting infected due to running Windows instead of least-privilege architecture, probably written in unsafe languages, not using parser/protocol toolkits that reduce 0-days there, and I'm sure more I'll find out soon. Yeah, the companies' financial incentive is to ignore the stuff since they'll get the contracts anyway. They're just paying for capabilities rather than capabilities with expected quality level.

I'd understand if the autopilot's AI or whatever wasn't perfect due to the complexity of the job or the graphics stack occasionally had artifacts in it. The systems not having basic security measure that budget startups pull off indicates it's not that such a baseline was too difficult: they just don't give a shit.

Looks like the parent comment was deleted, so yes :p

It said something to the effect of stirring up trouble/negativity for no reason.
The question is does regulatory capture always happen?
Absolutely! I cannot speak for other companies/defendants, but in our case our aim is to make it very cost effective to invalidate patents that may later be used to sue your company.
Most fees in litigation and patent invalidation go to lawyers. We chose a kind of patent reexamination that can be automated, and we're working on the process. We have automated a great chunk of the process and paperwork already. That will bring costs down and democratize patent invalidation.
I guess that's why there's IKE 2...

IKE 1 was seemingly purposely complicated.
I get the point of your comment, but at a minimum if this were indeed NSA work, at least they could monitor for exploitation of the same bug against targets they want to defend (which, given their network reach could be both public and private sector).

Fixing it would've at least prevented exploitation, but there is value in knowledge of who else has this exploit and who they're trying to attack.

Trying to compare these new Javascript solutions to creating "apps" as the "new jQuery" does a great disservice to jQuery.

jQuery answered a great deal of the problems of the day in a way that abstracted away all the stupid stuff of the browsers we had to deal with. It didn't just make it easier to work with the DOM, it also made it easier to work with the browsers.

These new Javascript frameworks and libraries address different problems than jQuery. Some provide solutions looking for a problem, in my opinion, but many provide solutions that jQuery doesn't even begin to address and should not. In a way, this comparison to jQuery also does a disservice to these other projects. None of them are the next jQuery, they are their own thing and should be treated as such.
Interesting point -- presumably this means that the existing manufacturers think they can compete in this market, or steer it someplace where they can compete. I wonder if they're right.

Presumably the full report (an unclassified version of which has not yet been released) goes into details.

There's no reason to believe they'd be hiding the "goods" on these accusations in the classified report. The only reason they aren't providing any more detail is because... they don't have any.

Regarding his stress fractures, he made it sound as though he was left a temporary cripple;

Where? Quotes, please.

BTW if you've ever had any kind of a bone fracture -- in that part of the body, it does make you a "temporary cripple". Presumably the Army agreed, which is why they discharged him.

Shin splints aren't that big a deal and plenty of people heal up and complete basic training after having them.

But he wasn't diagnosed for shin splints (or anything equivalent to it); his actual diagnoses was for something different (and categorically more serious). "Shin splints" are just an invention of the Intelligence Committee.

Right now, one of Snowden's allies claims Snowden got a GED; the House Committee claims he did not get a high school degree equivalent. I'll trust the House Committee until the report is released.

The article refers to documents on file with the Maryland State Department of Education, which is the authority I'll trust on this matter. But if you want to believe what the IC report nakedly asserts on the matter (despite not providing a shred of evidence), go ahead -- whatever works for you.

I've been using Typescript, React, and mobx and absolutely in love with how they all work together. For me the high-level summary is that the vast majority of my logic is moved out of React views and into stores / controllers / whatever, with almost no boilerplate to make them play nicely together. The way its coming along reminds me of Ember quite a bit, but I get to use React and POJO's.

18F came out of the Presidential Innovation Fellowship (pif.gov) when some fellows wanted to stick around and continue their public service. So they created 18F as a more permanent home that could house larger projects and hire people for longer tours of duty. It's a sister office to the U.S. Digital Service (which is in the White House) but it's primarily a GSA initiative.

There aren't specific laws involved. We aren't funded by Congress, but instead by an investment from GSA and fees from our partner agencies.

This isn't a good example - WordPress.com doesn't offer the same product as other WordPress hosts. With the latter, you're still getting "self-hosted" WordPress, but with the former, you're getting one install added to their giant multi-site installation (and all the limitations that that imposes).

Yup, completely different products. Skype for Business is pretty much just a rebranding of Lync 2013 - for the longest time, the Skype for Business client was still calling itself Lync 2013 on it's about page. It's been pretty confusing, to be honest, since the two different Skypes are completely different products, talking different protocols that just barely communicate with each other.

Skype through Office 365 is also Skype for Business/Lync.

Per posts yesterday Scrolly said they tried to notify them by email and were met with silence. This is probably a bad point for AJ, then Scrolly did what they could and published.

Per the discussions here yesterday Scrolly hadn't included that in its first draft. Once alerted by this bigger publicity AJ fixed their stuff and responded professionally.

There are several faults here, on both sides. But much can be attributed to the simple mistake that people make when trying to get work done. There was clearly no conspiracy, No one intentionally hurt anyone, no one had to take it all the way to way, and I don't remember any unreasonable threats of legal action.

This could have been much worse and I have personally dealt with much less reasonable companies trying to screw me harder.

Postmortem of the Firefox Certificate Pinning Vulnerability Rabbit Hole
All good points. Seems like you could get around it by using these other-car communications as noisy signals and weighting evidence against the world as the car sees it, e.g., if you get a spoofed emergency brake advisory, and the car's own percepts suggest there's no reason to brake, the resultant action may be to not brake. The signal from the other car[s] becomes just another feature.
You can get full pattern match checking via -fwarn-incomplete-patterns. Crashing on bottom is a concession to the fact that crashing is more useful than infinite loops. The semantics of the program exiting are the same as the semantics of the program infinite looping. So I'd say it's as pure as you can get on a finite state computer.

I'm not, that's why I brought up. Perhaps the beginning of my comment isn't so great but it is damned important that we know what kind of support employees and former employees will get when they're fired and something that needs to change in industry.

I'm cynically imagining that since it's a collection of big automakers, it is pretty easy for them to affect policy.

It looks like consumers and automakers are both wanting driverless cars so putting any enevitable regulations quickly benefit both parties.
They tried to handle it privately and were rebuffed: "we exhaustively tried to resolve the situation amicably, but our friendly requests over multiple channels were ignored. The DMCA request was our last resort." (from the first article)
All parts of a system have performance requirements. Some of them you might meet naively, great!

Product Hunt versus Hacker News: Our Experience with “engineering as Marketing”
Just because it's the default doesn't make it easiest nor does it make sense as the default necessarily, it's just the default because that's how he web started. I'm not saying we should skip progressive enhancement but there's truth to it being more work (when compared to how easy we can do things without it using JS only), regardless of how the web was originally designed to work.
The only real alternative I'm coming up with while still staying west of the mountains is crossing at Abbotsford/Sumas and taking WA-9 down to I-405 which is a horrible idea in all sorts of ways.

Land Rover is not 4x4?
I've shared some thoughts on this previously: http://www.gkogan.co/blog/test-big-changes/

TL;DR - Test big, drastic changes instead of fiddling with button colors and headlines. Examples of drastic changes:

- Entirely different homepage with different messaging.

- Change "Features" page to "Benefits" page and change its content accordingly.

- If you're offering a free download or free product, test asking for an email first.

- If your SaaS has a long signup form, test allowing people to jump right in with just an email address.

- If you're sending a robotic "welcome" email, test sending a very short personalized email instead.
Perhaps people typing on their mobile devices have auto-correct change the spelling.
YC and Founders Pledge
while I agree that regulation should be intensely scrutinized, and that the implications of a piece of regulation are usually not fully understood until after it has been implemented, the idea that the majority of regulation is "bad" is myopic.

Well-written regulation (and I would argue that the majority of regulations in the US are well-written) serves the public interest. Two immediate examples that come to mindt are the Glass-Steagall act, which separated commercial banking from speculative trading until it was repealed by GLB in the 80s (opening the door for the financial crisis) and the FDA. I would prefer to live in a country where glass stegall was still in place and the FDA was even stronger than it is today.

It would seem but it's actually the opposite with existing tooling thanks to COGENT. Amateurs did a filesystem with a fraction of the work that pro's did the kernel:

https://ts.data61.csiro.au/projects/TS/cogent.pml

Note: See "Cogent: Verifying high-assurance file system..."

They leverage the same tools used for seL4 verification. Also worth noting that Myreen et al's toolkit basically converts HOL specifications to machine code without need for an external compiler. The "C" that was compiled was an embedding of it in HOL called Simpl which the aforementioned process verifies and converts to verified code. This is called translation validation. That's my non-specialist understanding of what the papers said. COGENT builds on this process to convert functional language and easier specs into that form which gets trans-validated into machine code. With less effort. :)

Note: Myreen et al are doing both verifications of HOL itself and HOL to hardware translation next. These further reduce the TCB of provers and hardware respectively to almost nothing but the specs.

> Same reason it needs 3,800 employees to run what is essentially an internet forum/messaging client.

That's a very cynical way of looking at it.

The part of Twitter that you use "is essentially an internet forum/messaging client". True, but what about the analytics, targeting ads, moderation, logs etc.

Twitter most likely builds custom software,libraries for internal use. What about their development and maintenance?

TL;DR : There is a whole lot more than the seemingly simplistic product that you use.
Also you don't necessarily need the IDE to compile with the PRU. The compiler itself is freeware, and is some sort of fork of the compiler line they developed for their DSPs.
Perhaps if the Guv gives out a 3rd round of billions of dollars for rural connectivity it may actually happen. Or the 'free' monies will be squandered. Again.

The irony for Phoenix suburbs & county islands is these areas haven't been "rural" since the urban sprawl encompessed them in the 90's. Yet, the baby bell won't invest in infrastructure where people have no choice but to pay top dollar for pre-existing shit.
Auto-Labeling Pull Requests
"Most fees in litigation and patent invalidation go to lawyers."

That is what I had figured... as an aside, I have been hearing complaints about young lawyers not being able to earn very much due to over saturation of the market- but it still sure costs a bunch to higher one of them! I would think if the market was so over-saturated, lawyers would lower their prices to better compete. (Of course, the various specialties may still have variances based on expertise). The over saturation thing must be a myth being spread by old lawyers trying to protect their earnings by discouraging new competition :)
No guarantees it won't still suck. (Though it's completely new, I think it's Electron-based or something.) Just saying, there IS a huge momentum at Microsoft to rework Skype from the ground up.
Network effects. Skype is the only thing resembling a de facto standard for talking to any two random non-technical people. Skype has literally 100x the monthly active users of Slack, and barely anyone is on slack to make VOIP calls, especially with people outside of their team.
They need to figure out a way to start monetizing Bootstrap.
I'm aware of the principle, but that does not answer how that would have helped them here or how this indicates anything about the quality of the entire code base. Nothing in the writeup suggests that they had difficulty understanding this particular piece of code or that they were searching for something specific but didn't find it due to bad naming.

Exposing this value as an external configuration parameter in a place that is more often looked at might have helped someone to realize caching might be an issue earlier, but it could easily have been ignored as well.

Comments in this thread also illustrate why it's hard (and frustrating) to do constructive work in security. It's a big, complicated problem, and nobody's happy unless you solve it all at once.

You could do the equivalent of solving world hunger and world peace, but unless you also give everyone in the world a free puppy, you're going to get bad reviews complaining about the lack of puppies. And there's always someone who wanted a kitten instead...
I just assume that the government work do anything without a benefit for themselves. In this case they are probably getting some nice benefits from the automakers.

I say this as someone who has failed to even get a non-form letter answer from any of my elected officials state level or higher. I'm convinced that money is the only way to affect policy.
A lot of the dodgy stuff is because there are a lot of internals that haven't really been changed since it was Office Communicator 2007. I've spent far too much of my life dealing with these oddities, and I'll assure you, it is a trainwreck.

If you want to really have fun, write software that uses their terrible SDKs to plug into and extend Lync/Skype for Business.

Still, since it's bundled with Office and Office365 Exchange, lots of people are using it and dropping SameTime or XMPP or other options in large corporations.
