This EFF action is legit, and so is Matthew Green, but the controversy here is entirely synthetic.

What's important to understand about the US court system is that it is by design hugely powerful and subject to almost no outside oversight, but --- because of that power, and the desire not to have Presidents appointing panels of philosopher-kings --- the courts are only allowed to hear cases about live controversies.

So if you're using the courts as an instrument of policy change, the name of the game is finding a favorable live controversy.

well, if application was on the end users' terms you could test on a dedicated machine not in general service. Or, you could wait until the initial batch releases' beta testers work out bugs & MS makes corrections for the subsequent, fixed releases.
You would be surprised can always be removed to improve a comment.

Given the audience here, it's going to be wrong often enough. I think I wouldn't be particularly taken aback by the numbers that you allude to but fail to provide, I've watched people try to use software before.
I tried to update 2 Desktops. Both got stuck at 91%. I have not tried again since then.
I had the same experience the last time. There 2 of my computers (a Desktop and a Laptop) updated but were unusably slow afterwards until I fixed the swap settings (which I did not touch before the update).
It's now at the point where I'm considering automating my computer setup and just do a completely clean install when a big update comes out.
The auto update is also pretty nice for large updates, especially when they kick in right when you start your laptop in front of a classroom and try to deliver a lecture.
This whole situation is absolutely crazy!
I never had any update issues ever with windows until Windows 8 came out. Since then it's just a terrible hit or miss situation.
That's one of the current proposals for the A-10, since there are plenty of people in the armed forces that want to keep it for CAS, the air force doesn't like it as much since it's not "sexy" but the marines, infantry, and armor troops that are saved by CAS love the old ugly thing.

Well, I hope they do it.

And then -- I hope a year or two later, some author of a component
(especially one from Europe where the moral rights of an author still
carries substantial weight) submarines the new licence, surfacing to
indicate that they never signed off on the additional terms applied to
them as a significant author, and will accept no cash to solve the
problem.

Then they are dead in the water.

A cataclysm like CSRG went through.

Then a fork of code on the original license can flourish. A fork
based upon the last free version -- but let's remember that is the
history of another piece of important software...

So this problem could be fixed, if enough people care.

In this situation, I suspect a few people are being paid a lot of
wages to act as agents permitting theft from their co-contributors.
They worked with others but now they are ready to steal from them. A
list of all contributers (and every single one of them must agree) has
not been published, so it is really likely this is a well-financed
effort being performed by paralegals. Meanwhile day by day that list
of contributors operating under the existing model is growing..

Someone is hoping they can get away with copyright theft.

Want to have fun? Submit a major diff, which (seperately) in the
submission says you'll never agree. Eventually most large projects
find their inner Xfree86, I'm afraid to say.

Could somebody tl;dr me what is going on with LLVM and why the new licensing would be bad according to Theo?
The short answer is that yes, it is only for you. Google customizes results based on what it thinks you are looking for and your geographic location. So someone searching for the same term in San Francisco may see a different order of results than a person in San Diego.

You can use the Adwords Search Preview tool to get an idea of what is on the first page of Google results for any search term in any geographic location. It only shows the first 10 results though. You do not need to be an Adwords customer to use it.

You could settle for a genetics explanation, but why would you?

Other hypotheses are much more easily testable, and certainly more inspiring to the newcomer, and haven't been scientifically exhausted yet.

If everyone just said "it's probably not in my genes" they wouldn't even try, disregarding tons of historical factors that may have stopped their ancestors from creating a record.
The common advice is to never talk to police or consent to any search, even when you're sure there's no contraband in your car.

Yeah, sure! I'm a watchmaking engineer, so clearly not the primary target of those kind of boards.
We had electronic engineering course at school, as we are supposed to also develop quartz watches.

And hardcore user of linux for nearly 12 years. For example, I managed to replace the firmware of my ISP propreitary router nearly without any documentation (not supported by openwrt and co).

But I wasted days to try to understand the xilinx way we are supposed to use.

Every tutorials (I found) just explain how to install the vivado toolchain and stop there. So I assumed they had the same problems...

Do you have more recommendations, please?
I play double bass, not guitar, but I suspect there are parallels. My answer is: No, I'm not creative enough, or maybe too creative. In my view, most technical experiments are blind alleys. And a problem with musical instruments, perhaps with double bass as an extreme case, is that some experiments can lead to permanent injury.

I have met two fine young bassists who were both crippled by trying unorthodox techniques, to the point where it interfered with their careers: For instance they had to curtail preparation for critical auditions.

Meanwhile, I have consciously stuck with the stodgy classical technique that I learned as a kid, and at age 52, can still play a four hour gig on the one instrument in the band that never gets a break.
It's hard to have any idea what that means without the preceding context:

Two fascinating theories from the comment section @ Wapo ->

"A large stationary target like a rocket is a simple shot for a sniper with a 50 cal rifle from a mile away. . . It was something discussed 30+ years ago: to have Special Forces snipers punch holes in the missiles on mobile launchers that would not be discovered until preparing for launch. Instead of destroying the system the enemy would have wasted time and effort moving to a launch location only to find out that they were incapable of launching."

and

"What the article doesn't mention is that ULA buys its engines from Russia and is a vital part of the Russian rocket program. As a part of ULA's activities, there are Russian engineers with military training in the country legally right now. "

Stopping paying taxes is a form of civil disobedience.

With many shows like Buffy it also change so much over time. The early episodes are not far off "monster of the week", but then you get a lot of things towards the end with e.g. Buffy's death, and resurrection (and the subsequent "d'oh" moment on realising that they should have considered maybe, just maybe she was actually happier dead) that are a lot more complex and intelligent.

It's easy with long running series to remember the characters and events they way they were towards the end of the series, and get a bit of a shock when going back and watching the beginning..
Spacewars, chapter one
The closest successor to Firefly, Dark Matter (minus the cowboy thing) only just made it to season 2 but is now renewed for season 3 by reducing production costs and selling older seasons to Netflix.

The new way people are watching TV is on-demand rather than on-air which is dramatically cutting ad-based income for traditional networks. If networks can partner or sell to streaming companies like Netflix it might help long tail shows like Firefly to survive in the future. Another great Syfy show, The Expanse, will hopefully survive that way whereas back in 2003 it would have been axed by now.
Right.

Do you really need someone to tell you that millions of people use and update Ubuntu regularly without typing in a cryptic 100 character long command or can you figure out yourself that it has to be you who's wrong here?
Although that's technically true, the DAC and the transducer do not necessarily need to be discrete components. There's some super interesting research on digital sound reproduction: https://www.ece.cmu.edu/~mems/pubs/pdfs/ieee/mems/0071_diamo... and I'm aware of at least one company that is (apparently) in fairly late stages of commercialisation (http://www.audiopixels.com.au).
Yeah I also had the odd acquaintance that did the same, ironically 99.9% of my other friends who claim to be "fans" and that Firefly is the "best thing ever" never bothered.

I don't think most of them even waited for it to come out on DVD but most likely pirated it and maybe bought it once it hit the bargain bin.

Various excuses have been used from "I don't want to see an episode in the theater" to "I don't want to give Fox money" but it doesn't really matter, people didn't came out to see it, and even the DVD sales unlike Firefly were pretty weak.

Anecdotally your friend that went to see it 6 times is also likely the reason why Firefly gets more votes cast on IMDB than The X-Files or Seinfeld.
When your dream of being featured on ProductHunt becomes a nightmare
I've been reading a lot of articles about how to get featured properly on ProductHunt and I had big plans for a proper planned submission of my project, which I believe it's a very interesting one for the entrepreneurs community. I know that we only have one shot on Product Hunt so I wanted to be prepared. I have seen many mediocre sites or products to reach more than 1000 votes just because of the hunter and the timing. So I expected mine to reach a decent amount of votes and attention.

Unfortunately someone (I believe with the best intention), who is not popular at all in PH, submitted yesterday night my side project, probably the worst time of the week, (http://www.transparentstartups.com/) without notifying me at. In fact when I realised my website was hunted it was too late and lost in the PH secondly list with just 1 vote.

In addition, my project's profile (https://www.producthunt.com/tech/transparent-startups) is incomplete and inaccurate. Sad thing is I'm the maker but I don't have access in PH to amend my own startup profile to at least leave it in a decent state and explain what the site is about. I've tried to contact them via email but I haven't receive any reply yet.

Right now I feel very disappointed about how ProductHunt works, although I hope the PH team will help me to fix this. As the maker of Transparent Startups I am, I truly believe in transparency and it seems to me there is something not very transparent at PH, I'm afraid.

Have you had similar experiences with PH? Is PH shot over for my website?
We don't know the context these photos were taken in though. Might have been during riots, or a terrorist alert. I'd personally want the cops to look like that if there was a nutter on the loose with a machine gun.
"SpaceX had still images from video that appeared to show an odd shadow, then a white spot on the roof of a nearby building belonging to ULA"

"The SpaceX representative explained to the ULA officials on site that it was trying to run down all possible leads in what was a cordial, not accusatory, encounter"

So they are simply exploring what the white spot/shadow could be? I dont think that necessarily leads them to think it was "sabotage" - just a possible clue in their investigation...

Theo deRaadt complaining about "copyright theft" is hilarious given his original stance on the ipfilter debacle.
Ah... Monoids-shmonoids. While I appreciate abstract algebra, I feel that forcing it onto students of programming is a terrible idea. An entire generation of potential engineers and scientists (and even mathematicians) was lost when they started teaching children that geometric figures can only be "congruent" to each other, not "equal". In the same way, I would have never been able to use, say, generic lists without giving this idea a second thought if they had told me first that those are an example of an important kind of "endofunctor in the category of types" (i.e. a monad).
Talent is the foundation, theoretically an unbounded positive value set in stone. Skill is like a 0-1 multiplier applied over the top of talent to produce the final output.

Talent boils down to physiology, but skill is the ability to use that physiology correctly.

Nimble file naming [0]. It must end in '.nimble', and must have at least character in front of that suffix, but the prefix doesn't actually matter.

I'm not convinced on the maintainability argument. Many, many projects have a coding style guide. LISPs require one too. Once you have one, maintaining the code becomes as difficult as any other language. I've encountered unmaintainable Python code [1], and insanely well documented Scheme code [2]. I'm not sure the language has much to do with it, apart from supporting a wide range of paradigms and patterns.

I'm not sure black-boxing through use of a sophisticated framework is any better than the way you work in more flexible languages.

Here's my take:

* Nim is great. The use of the 'auto' keyword let me be productive using it.

* Scheme is great. It lets me do insane things, and the compiler will optimise it to work, and well. (Rather than breaking three similar function into pieces, I can make one function that generates all three functions using their commonalities).

* Java is the smart kid at college who always answers questions in the form of a thesis. He isn't wrong, but you don't really remember what he was saying.

I beg to differ. As someone who decided it would be hip to buy a Macbook, almost every single day I grumble about MacOS, it's so frequent my gf is sick of it. If we could have a keyboard driver for my model, I would install Linux in an instance and never look back. Please don't get me started on how much of a lie in my experience, "MacOS is really like Linux, but nicer" is. What a load of 1300usd baloney that is.

Even when I do use Linux without the internal keyboard, I am surprised, for example, how the wifi connections don't fickle out. It makes you really wonder what Mac OS is doing under the hood.
_Browsers_ are a source of performance problems, crashes, and security incidents for Web users.

I've had browsers crash, become unresponsive, use unreasonable amounts of memory or cpu. I've had youtube throw errors, load forever or pause videos and refuse to continue playing them. I've had js pdf readers produce unreadable garbage.

On the other hand, I've never had any problems with my choice of media player or pdf viewer, even though they offer far more features related to their specific job than any in-browser solution i've seen.

And browsers just keep adding more features - more resource hogs, more opportunities to crash and bigger attack surfaces.
Regarding the search thing, filed bug at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1306847. I have an idea of how to fix it.
Well, it definitely wasn't BlueOrigin considering it's being covered by WaPo.
I've been wondering why I worked in it for a different reason: overall lack of demand for real thing and apathy of users. Industry faces a constant, uphill battle that gets steeper every year due to the apathy. The intellectual challenge is great in terms of having to learn everything part of the stack down to EM effects of transistors. Then try to outsmart a world full of brains in a design. You get moments you feel proud of.

Overall, though, it looks like it might have been more satisfying if I stayed on the automatic programming track. Doing things like program/hardware synthesis, static analysis, functional programming compilation, and so on. Have a steady stream of useful inventions plus more users happy to adopt them. Must be nice for those fields. ;)
I can't speak for the Canadian side, but I grew up in El Paso. El Paso is right on the Mexican border with another large Mexican city on the other side, Juarez, and a fair amount of travel in both directions. On the US side, everything is done in dollars. On the Mexican side, pesos or dollars both generally work. I can't answer how Mexicans get ahold of dollars -- it's just never been a problem I've had to solve. I would suspect it's similar to when I've gotten local currency outside the US. There are currency exchange places, though I've only seen them in airports, your CC does the conversion automatically, an ATM does, or you go to a bank.
Painting the situation as "corporate contributer-wannabes" and "IANAL but let's do it anyway" is loaded language that seems intended to bring up negative tropes. The first is sneering at the host of potential contributors, because the host is willing to pay the salary of the contributors. The second is not remotely backed up by the facts.

They've hired lawyers, and consulted the community. The community's predominant concern was whether the new license (Apache2) would be compatible with GPLv2.

In the "We are now in this year" link, it's explicated how they consulted a gaggle of open source lawyers, determined the predominant belief was the new license was compatible with GPLv2. But they didn't stop there – they had a lawyer draft an addendum to really ensure that!

Not a good look. Fever swamp paranoia, and wishing ill on a series of people clearly trying to do well and address every concern.
>“Particularly trying to understand the quieter bang sound a few seconds before the fireball goes off,” he wrote on Twitter. “May come from rocket or something else.”

They should be able to sync the audio/video and figure out where the quieter bang came from. I can't imagine there was only one camera on the pad. Even easier if they actually sync the video timestamps with a common time signal.

After about 30 years of trying to become a better software developer I have a hard time to believe you can do this without getting stuck now and then. It seems part of the deal to me. We are problem solvers, whether is is solving a nasty bug or learning a new language, and for me it's definitely part of the fun and fulfilment once something is solved. If it were too easy I probably would not be doing this, I just need that challenge.

So, that's why I needed to respond to this title, as it seemed opposed to what I am actually doing every day. And what do I do when I get stuck regularly? Google, learn, think, try, experiment, fail, learn etc.. (not necessarily in that order of course).

My amazing manager had this desire to become a software developer, but he quit doing that because he couldn't handle the getting stuck part. It was just not for him. He finally became an IT manager, the best I worked with so far. First because he's a great guy, but mainly because he respects and understands what I am doing.
Your title insinuates that security is not lasting....computer security has been around for decades, pretty much since the inception of the internet, and it is not going to go away. So what do you mean security is not lasting?
