It's the common name of the attack that people get. So it's useful whether PC types, who are a tiny minority of many audiences, like it or not. I'm not sure how "Evil Maid" label was derived. I do know from espionage reading that the most common form of the attack came from maids in hotels of business or government people passing through. Janitors and maintenance types, too, but they were in a trusted, protected building instead of a third party's. French intelligence is particularly notorious for using maids or other hotel employees. Calling it a (adjective-here) Maid attack given all the maids involved makes since for historical and current significance of that attack vector. As in, the label is also a reminder to watch your ass and never leave gear unattended in hotels. ;)

This is why civil forfeiture should be banned. I'm still of the opinion that any ticket money should be handed over to a superfund with strict rules on spending never to return to the police or judicial coffers.
They're pretty up front about losing money on it. "Uber had promised to invest $10 million in D.C. during the SafeTrack program in a mix of ways. That includes offering financial incentives for drivers while still discounting UberPool this summer in D.C. Some of the money applies to incentives for the Pool Pass as well, since otherwise drivers would not likely feel very motivated to take a $1 fare."

It will be interesting to see how Uber shakes out in the long term. They can't keep this up forever.
Before you can have an unbiased result, you need an unbiased pool of candidates. A temporary bias in the last round is an attempt to help fix the clearly-broken funnel that leads there. It might not be the best way of doing things, but the plan is not obviously wrong or anything.

Sam Harris: TED Talk

"Scared of superintelligent AI? You should be, says neuroscientist and philosopher Sam Harris — and not just in some theoretical, existential crisis kind of way. We're going to build superhuman machines, says Harris, but we haven't yet grappled with the problems associated with creating something that may treat us the way we treat ants."
Does this ever once make the argument suggested in the title?
I can relate to this. Growing up poor and originally working in nonprofits out of college I experienced a lot of stress about money and about making the kind of mistakes you listed. Getting a parking ticket was a huge deal. Today I am much more financially comfortable and I don't think I'm less responsible, just less stressed about the consequences of when I eventually make a common mistake like misreading a parking sign.
First fintech title III offering
The key takeaway I had from that course was "money can solve more problems than you think, so it should be the first problem-solving strategy that you consider".

This was pretty counter-intuitive in college, when I always felt like I didn't have enough money, but just knowing that this was a possible way of solving many classes of problems changed the way I approached decision-making in my later life (e.g. when picking my first job out of college).
>That shows their estimates were terrible.

Pokemon Go became the most-downloaded app in history within the first few days.

Are you saying that's the bar that people should estimate at launch?

Serious question. MtGox, as I recall, was the first major Bitcoin-losing hack. So I'll (kinda) excuse people for participating in that one. But why would you, especially after that, keep large amounts of BTC in these sorts of exchanges?
Ah ok. That's useful info about the multiAZ setup - I'll have a look into that.

In my case, we now have customers around the world so we don't get the "night time" luxury. Part of the work I'm now completing is to split the system into an accounts db and customer data db. I was thinking to dip my toe in the water by just moving the account db to RDS to see how it goes.
That conclusion is a bit premature. The conclusion one can draw is that Swift can efficiently call C code taking int pointers (possibly even inline it I would like to see the assembly for the generated code)

Stronger tests would pass structs, classes, collections or (probably the biggest challenge for interop) strings as arguments, and return such items to the caller.

Given the design of Swift, I expect it to do well on almost all of these. Strings and collections likely are exceptions, as calling C functions that aren't tweaked to accept Swift structures will require marshaling.
I really appreciate this blog post. It gives a great insight into what is going on behind the scenes. I was really surprised by how low their their worse case scenario was. Absolute worst case would be every single person capable of running the game playing. Obviously this wouldn't happen, but for a brand with as much recognition as Pokemon, I think "What if everyone in the world started using this" is a good place to start. Obviously this won't happen, but it's important to think about why it won't happen. "What if everyone who has played Pokemon or wanted to know more about Pokemon downloaded this game?" is still unlikely, but it's less unlikely. It's probably not far off from what actually happened.

I don't want to criticize their model too much, because it's obviously simplified for our benefit. However, it appears that their worst-case scenario was "What if we become the next bejeweled or [insert popular F2P game here]?" It's a ridiculous assumption, because Pokemon has a much broader appeal than any other casual game, cause the IP is so insanely popular, and the game still appeals to people who just want a casual game. I know it is a lot easier to get fired for spending too much money than it is for not spending enough, but it's a stretch to say their launch traffic was beyond imagination. Niantic should start looking for new analysts now if their current analysts honestly thought this traffic was outside the realm of possibility.

I don't consider the server issues to be much of a problem though. It's hard to ensure everything will work perfectly under that kind of load. You have to accurately predict who will be playing, how much they will be playing, how they will interact with the game, and so much more. However, I do think they need to figure out their communication with the fan base. I know that there will be a vocal portion of any constituency that hates everything. That isn't a good excuse for communicating poorly. Good communication will help almost every relationship.
I'd like to see more discussion about anxiety being fairly justified even in the modern world. Not necessarily useful, but also not unfounded.

Thanks for the answers! I think it looks like interesting tech and it could be fun to play around with it, despite the limitations.

But I really think you should reconsider the messaging around the product. I'd imagine most of your potential customers would be tech-savvy enough to ask the questions raised in this thread. Right now your marketing material is making us suspicious; it looks like you have something to hide.

I think you'd be much better off if you were transparent about the technical limitations, so as not to be mistaken for another Cicret Bracelet (https://youtu.be/KbgvSi35n6o). Getting that out of the way would allow you to focus your story on the possibilities, why this tech is cool (because it is!).

Also, judging by your description some of the material on the site is very deceptive, such as the animation with the horse. It appears to be very high resolution, there's no "slicing" even at acute viewing angles, and it has dark objects occluding lighter ones. That's not really OK.
I don't trust the goodness of human nature, I trust the legal and financial system that we've collectively built over the past millennia. Which actually does (at least attempts to) enforce some level of fairness. Why should I sign up to have the future of the financial system be controlled by an "algorithm" that is built on a technology (non-quantum crypto) that could be dead in less than 50 years?
It's secure, "trust us".
So I've been feverishly researching both topics, and how to learn them. I've decided to take these 2 courses from Coursera (starting soon, in Oct 2016). Both are free, and for the ML course, one can pay after completing it and get a certificate (there's no certificate for the Bitcoin course).

I think Pokemon scaled remarkably better than any app many of us have ever dealt with, seeing the crazy demand spikes. You would run into a lot of app issues, data choices, a lot of things that don't just get solved from simple uses of autoscaling.

Reminds me of that Feynman story where he had the strongest impression that his grandmother just died. Just then, the phone rang. He tentatively picked it up, to discover that it was for his roommate. His grandmother was fine. People strongly remember the coincidences, but they tend to forget all the times that they had some feeling and nothing came of it.
Exactly.

If Microsoft had let me install from the autounattend.xml (or whatever it's called) without an Enterprise agreement, i'd have explored it further. But no, for Windows 10 they made it not work at all.

If WSUS was as easy as using createrepo to mirror a Ubuntu or RHEL repo without breaking after an update to support Windows 10, i'd be all ears.

But no, Microsoft continue to break the developer/ops experience. Having my first job in 15 years trying to wrangle Windows infrastructure into place as part of a wider Linux install, i've doubled my resolve to never touch the stuff again.

Interestingly I finished at my last contract on Friday - 2 of the 3 contracts i've been called about since are related to moving away from the Microsoft stack.
No, no, that's not what I'm saying.

MIR is here! End-users probably aren't going to be too excited about this just yet, since MIR's focus in 1.12 is in ensuring there are no correctness regressions (always a risk when you rewrite an enormous portion of your middle-end) or noticeable runtime perf or compile-time perf regressions. I do recall pcwalton remarking that MIR improved Servo's compile times by about 20%, though this is probably not what one would expect across the board. In any case, the upcoming 1.13 release is where the rubber is really going to start meeting the road: middle-end optimizations that operate on the MIR (i.e. https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/36388 ); outright removing old trans (which remains in 1.12 via a compiler flag) which allows us to actually start taking advantage of non-zeroing drop (a long-held dream!); an initial spike for incremental recompilation; plus big miscellaneous performance improvements such as https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/36524 . As ever, no matter how exciting Rust's present is, it somehow seems that its future is even more so. :P

(Which isn't to overshadow Jonathan Turner's heroic compiler error message overhaul that has been long in the works, or the dozens and dozens of new volunteers who answered the call to help us transition: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/35233 . But I've had the new error messages enabled for months now, and it's easy to forget that not everyone has been enjoying them this whole time!)
I'm in France and I sometimes notice that USA articles focus only on underpriviledged talent. Why only the talents? It's a bit like rape is fought against, except in prisons because they're lower-grade citizen. Or like articles describing unwarranted violence from the SWAT teams: "The family was playing poker, they got busted for illegal gaming, 3 died" will trigger fewer reaction than "The SWAT team killed the dog." US articles often focus on a subset of the unpriviledged population.

Let's recall that our civilization needs to take care of everyone, even if they're not talented or guilty at some level. Not everyone is cute, but everyone needs to be saved.
I don't know off the top of my head of any drugs that work in humans but have intolerable problems in mice. I do know that some substances are much more toxic to other mammals than to us. For example, acetaminophen is very toxic to cats. Theobromine is much more toxic to dogs and cats than to humans. 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin is rapidly lethal to guinea pigs at a level that might only cause skin problems and/or reproductive defects in humans.
As far as I can tall, people from underprivileged backgrounds make it through socializing and sleeping with people from privileged backgrounds as often as possible. Rich people attract opportunities (and are opportunities.) Being near them gives you your best chances, and your best opportunity in life to befriend those people is in university.

> There are also plenty of examples of people who failed and squandered lots of opportunities.

Rich people fail all the time. They fail up nearly as often as they fail down, though. And if they avoid drug problems, they never fail out.

Do you know how those estimates are made? As someone who only passively follows some Pokemon news it was obvious that Pokemon Go would be absolutely huge on launch. It was all over facebook, youtube, reddit etc since the day it was announced. I don't think I've ever seen so much hype for a game, including major AAA titles. It seem strange to hear that no-one in their right mind would think it would happen.
This all doesn't really matter when you lock out anyone who has a rooted phone, with no warning. Sure, a few people were cheating with them, but anyone running cyanogenmod or any other custom firmware, or anyone who wants to get rid of a god-awful OEM skin, is now screwed out of the game. Ironically, this hasn't stopped the actual cheaters or people using AutoMagisk.
> paid off when the game launched without incident in Japan, where the number of new users signing up to play tripled the US launch two weeks earlier.

The "without incident" part is hilarious. The game was unusable for over a week when they added more countries. There were memes all over the place about Niantic execs ignoring the burning server and pushing to launch in more countries anyway. I wonder if any of them actually tried to play as a user on the public servers and spent hours trying to logon and it failing, or locking up soon after for a week.

Not to mention they never even got the original tracker functionality (1 footstep, 2 footstep, 3 footstep for anything nearby) working again after that, they had to replace it with a lower load knock off where you just see what is around a certain location that isn't very popular. So not only did they not even keep login working, they cut features too.
A semi-facetious question, perhaps? Healing at least is a return to a baseline, "generally improving" is more subjective. I would tend to expect that changing any system as complex as the human brain would have the potential for improving some things, while impairing others. Not that it would impossible to find a compound that only produced changes we considered positive, without any we considered negative - just unlikely.

You simply can't have a secure computer if untrustworthy chips are in the TCB. They did say open-source, physically-secure computer. They didn't say the whole thing was secure. The use-case is whatever security you usually have plus tamper-resistant case, drive encryption, better authentication, and whatever Intel's extensions bring to the table. Better than regular computer in terms of defending against many more attack vectors. Assuming design works.

Also, such a device can be combined with a secure, open computer to divide risk up among software and physical attacks.

“On February 20, 2015, Microsoft released an update for Windows Defender which removes Superfish.”

Microsoft has to uninstall the malware that Lenovo had put on the computers it had sold. Lenovo did not remove it on its own. Let that sink in.
True, maybe I overreacted. What worries me is that is apparently supposed to be sold as a general computing device. Tamper-resistant hardware may be used in the military to protect implementations and keys stored in hardware that will eventually get stolen. For other types of data stored? Probably not so much. As I said, reasonable uses for this kind of device are limited.

For ordinary users, deleting everything immediately when someone tampers with it is a recipe for disaster. Sure, they can backup everything in encrypted form, but then the data is not really deleted when somebody tampers with the machine, isn't it?

Regarding the security, well, apart from software-based attacks, how about installing a tiny USB keylogger inside a USB cable that is already used by the user? Or in the keyboard itself? Or a camera that records your keystrokes?

That's what the <insert agency or special interest group of your choice> would be doing in such a case.
Correct me if I am wrong, but if that was possible, wouldn't the FBI have had a lot less of a challenging time getting the data off of that guy's phone?
