I last worked on this stuff 2-5 years ago so I'm not completely clear. I'm probably very wrong on this nowadays so hopefully someone can give you better info. IIRC you can run two OSX guests on an OSX host with Apple hardware. Anything that isn't using OSX as the base OS is EULA violating. I see a lot of people doing it via esxi. I'm not sure if the EULA has changed and that's ok now or people are just doing it. Thankfully I'm out of that side of CI/CD and plan to never deal with it again.

Our initial goal was to have one OSX system running multiple xcode builds/tests. I think at some point we may have gotten it working by having different targets set up but I don't recall the specifics.

Sorry I can't be of more help. We worked with 3-4 other app developers and it seemed like all of us were doing completely different work arounds to reach the same goal. I'd love to know how King or any of the other huge (number of apps) developers deal with these things. It doesn't seem like it's talked about much.
Right on, yeah I guess I assumed it was more Oscar batey sorta stuff.
Down the street from Harvard is section 8 housing that I'm sure the GP isn't even aware of, because it looks just like any other building near by. No trash can fires or the like. I used to be a big brother to a kid in that building, so I've been inside many times. None of those things you described were happening.

That is exactly what caught my attention, barring the pseudo-dystopian theme. I'd say that a different arrangement (e.g. a short TL;DR followed by a Learn More, and finally by the full whitepaper) would seem more "natural". That slider you can modify at will depending on your current attention span seems strangely creepy for reasons beyond my current human psychology understanding.
TL;DR Yeah GCC specific compiler compiler extensions.

GCC has some platform specific symbols that are really just functions wrapping assembly. Most of this is related to crypto and AESNI (built in x86 AES operations). This breaks some crypto, which breaks some wifi/file system stuff.

XEN driver uses a GCC specific ASM macro for counting NUMA Nodes and CPU cores.

Dynamic compiling within the kernel for say BSD Packet Filtering JIT requires LLVM Compiler-RT have a custom wrapper. Also some libgcc specific header information.

Point is, learning truth does not make people happy, in most cases. On the contrary. Truth, as far is our lives is concerned, is almost invariably ugly. This is why children are normally much happier than adults - they just know less.
For $10 per month I'd say your best bet would be shared hosting (or a VPS at best) together with Cloudflare's free plan (for the SSL and CDN).
I believe the author was implying countries like North Korea or Iran who might develop a nuclear warhead and possibly ICBM technology but not have the other options (air or sea launch).

That said, a sub at missile launch depth is susceptible to a hypersonic weapon from above. With sufficient mass, even a kinetic only impact from the surface could take out those subs. A nuclear depth charge can take out subs down to their crush depth although I don't know if you could deliver it on a hypersonic glider.

The defense for this stuff is lasers of course. An interesting technical weakness of hypersonic devices is that they are on the edge of their energy/drag limits (they are already struggling to travel through the soup of the atmosphere at those speeds). If you can ablate their leading edge with a laser to change their drag profile they may self destruct through atmospheric friction.
It's a research project trying to predict Google's future trajectory. There was a lot of this kind of thing at transmediale in Berlin last year. The view of tech from outside the SF Bay Area is often unsettlingly creepy, because people not in the bubble have a more realistic view of what the tech industry actually is.
So, part of the issue is that, in Seattle, the question of "can self-driving cars replace mass transit infrastructure?" has political implications right now. The article didn't really mention it, but I think that's because it's the Seattle Times, so they would assume that readers are familiar with the background context.

To explain: after the usual [0] decade of planning, Seattle's regional transit authority has a $50 billion expansion plan (including more rail and bus service) finalized, and it is coming up for a vote shortly. One of the arguments that the opposition brings up a lot is, "we don't need ST3 because self-driving cars will take care of the transit problems."

A counter-argument made by supporters of the plan (including me), is that since Seattle is already snarled with traffic (average commute times have doubled since 2010, and it's only expected to get worse), the burden of proof is on these people to show that self-driving cars can replace mass transit, and so far they haven't done so. Without specifically accusing you (I don't know if you know anything about this situation), I will say that the suggestion of "we should wait and see" is very similar to the concern trolling that has been used by a lot of ST3 opponents to try and derail the project.

Good god the scrolling behavior on that site is obnoxious. I scroll down, and it scrolls me back up because I didnt scroll enough.

#1 way to make me discount your ideas before I've even read them.
My understanding is that its too slow and not accurate enough for pinpoint tracking of targets, assuming you can even find the carrier group in the vast ocean. This is why the military uses spotting planes, drones, gps, and laser instead of just shooting down coords via satellites.

Also, in wartime there will probably be decoys and other counter-measures that might be hard to differentiate from satellite resolution. You would want accurate tracking for your $50-100m launch that may or may not start WWIII.
I would agree with you if it was only software patents. I still think hardware patents have a place, and that it is possible for the patent office to judge novelty and non-obviousness of hardware inventions.

I'm very unclear as to what this is. It looks like some third party trying to get Google to hire them to help them start tracking us offline the same way they do online, which is frankly terrifying.

Not to dispute your assertion, but I've been hearing that PhoneGap/Cordova has 'felt native' for as long as it's been around, and that's never been true. Has it finally changed, and is it really worth it compared to e.g. writing an app in React instead?

There are certainly things about that modern world that are pushing population growth rates lower. The availability of birth control and more legal rights for women prominently among them. That's why the population growth rate should be leveling out in 80 years or so.

But looking forward maybe 800 years, if there are alleles which tend to make people more likely to want and have kids then I would expect the prevalence of those alleles to increase and the birth rate to rise again. When I look around at my social groups most of the people I know enjoy sex but there's a lot of diversity in how much people are interested in having kids. I don't have any basis for saying if that's a heritable trait or not. But if it is heritable then I'd expect people like that to be the majority before all that long and in the long term population growth to become exponential again.

And in the very long speed of light limitations mean that the resources available to humanity can grow cubicly at best so if exponential growth resumes Malthus will be with us again at some point.
I'll bite.

> Why is it bad for a government to aggregate public data?

In the past, this has been problematic. There are several examples of government agencies using their authority to suppress political dissent. The Stasi in Germany, the KGB, Hoover's FBI. True, they had private data as well, but the problem wasn't the source of the data - it was that they used it for political suppression. It's clear that the agencies involved with Geofeedia would prefer the protesters just "go away" - they have no incentive to be supportive of their goals. Given the power imbalance and incentive misalignment, gathering information on them has an inherent smell to it, just from past experience.
So broken on Safari mobile. Too bad.

Maybe the jobs are so highly sought after because they understand that practical knowledge is different from esoteric knowledge, and it's worth having gaps in knowledge of bash arcana if it means that you spent your time learning more important things.

The feature is pretty useless because it doesn't easily get you a two-way pipe, and there are lots of easier-to-use, more reliable ways to get a two-way pipe (or a one-way pipe, even).

People reading that may also want to check out some research on the topic of ADHD. It's useful to contrast the NYT article to the relationships between untreated ADHD and reduced quality of life.

It's a balance, right? Few if any drugs are perfect. So, the consequences have to be weighed.
At risk of being depressing, it's worth knowing that a dedicated profiler can reconcile accounts across all of the protections you've mentioned - not just as a targeted attack, but algorithmically.

There are a lot of fingerprinting tricks which transcend cookie restrictions and user profiles. The battery percent/value one will reconcile all accounts on one device (as will several other like fonts). If you log into one bucket on multiple devices, it becomes possible to traverse devices and reconcile one-device profiles via the shared profile. If I were truly paranoid, I would only trust "separation" if it involved a clean account on a clean device on a clean network.

None of which is to say that you shouldn't do this! I do lots of privacy things which aren't bulletproof, and I think other people should also. Fighting common tracking structures is still progress, and tools like bucketing and Privacy Badger are great ways to do this.

It's just also worth noting that dedicated profiling will break all but the most pathological defensive measures.
No one is paying for completion of checkbox security features in FreeBSD. So the community is really only interested in effective mitigations and not checkbox features.

We would love to merge in Konstantin's ASLR work. Reviewers have pointed out performance issues and memory fragmentation issues, especially on 32-bit platforms, but it's still better than nothing. I think we should just merge it as is, maybe default to off on 32-bit platforms, and improve from there. With the intent to have it polished for 12.0-RELEASE.

One such mitigation receiving community attention is Capsicum. The Capsicum security sandbox is a viable way to constrain applications. Unlike OpenBSD's pledge, rights are limited on a file descriptor basis. It has been ported to Linux and DragonFlyBSD (although merged to neither). There has been a lot of work in FreeBSD lately to restrict base programs, especially setuid programs, using Capsicum.

What specifically does "against proof of a rental contract" mean? Rental contracts, at least apartment ones here in the states, often require some up front cash. Is this not the case in Finland? If it is the case, is the government provided money given to the render before or after the contract? If given before, how do they prevent people from just stealing it? If given after, how do people without money provide the up-front cash?

These and similar questions are some common reasons behind using vouchers/stamps instead of cash.

Not taking a side here, but this specific problem is why, no matter the research, there will almost certainly be arguments on both sides of the debate.

Bitbucket PM here, sorry to hear this doesn't suit you. Could you tell me more? If like to better understand your concern.
Same here actually. I haven't logged into my reddit account in like two years now. Also don't have any cookies from reddit so I dunno. The site does show me logged out of everything else so I think it's either broken or something else.
Classic bait and switch!
The price of housing not only affects incentives for landlords to evict; it affects it affects the cost of shelters and temporary housing; it affects the cost of running clinics and social services facilities, and so on.
Meteor and Docker come to mind.
a la carte programming assumed you would still access TV channels via one TV, using the same interface as before for all channels, ie. your remote. Click once and you're at a different channel.

Having to deal with several different content delivery services, each with their own sign-in, is much more complicated than that.
This simply means that Apple would rather outsource the job and make some small developer happy and a few users (like me) unhappy, rather than improve their highly praised interface.

By the way, there is an ecosystem of excellent small utilities developed open source for linux that are, in my opinions, superior to the ones on OSX, or at least, the one I work and am familiar with. Of course open source produces many useless tools, but I've also found unusable applets for mac, so...

Windows is of course out of the equation.
Sure, but neither does trying to put kids from vastly different socioeconomic strata into the same school and expect that to result in anything but misery for everyone.

The core issue is the idea of mingling "underprivileged" kids with "privileged" ones; with intuitive expected result being some "lifting up" of the underprivileged kids at the expense of some of the education of the privileged kids.

Except there's no evidence this helps the underprivileged kids. There's lot of evidence it completely screws over the privileged kids and the end result is a dumpster fire of social engineering proportions. It's why we don't try to do it anymore, and every new generation needs to be taught the lesson lest they repeat it.

Yahoo was very sloppy. But I believe all other companies that provide "free" email are continuing to allow The US Government Agencies to archive and search emails without explicit consent from the user.

If a company states it denied the access to email, then let the CEO of the company under oath, testify that they've rejected/denied all attempts to have emails archived and searched by any Government agency

I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted. This is actually a pretty good argument for why piracy is still relevant. There's been numerous occasions when I wanted to share something with a friend, but the content was blocked just because of geographical differences. These limitations create incentives to find the content elsewhere, which is usually illegitimate means.

Xamarin Forms dev here. This is true. I wrote an audiotour app and I was able to reuse everything. The only thing I couldn't reuse was the audio player because of differences between platforms, but still you can use plain old Xamarin.Android and Xamarin.iOS. Pretty good results and you save ton of time.

I'm open to the possibility that the measured quality of a school does not change if you make significant changes to its constituent populations, but it seems like a large enough question to not be assumed in passing.
Perhaps. But what if Oracle buys facebook or Zuckerberg steps down and a litigious CEO takes over. This is a major concern for lawyers in large companies.
Yep, but in wartime there would be. The US can launch nuclear bombers very quickly when any threat is detected or assumed to come anytime soon (watching the Chinese roll out rockets for hypersonics for example via satellite). I suspect we have a lot of classified nuclear flights when the DoD gets worried.

"have people mix more" seems on its face a good idea, but people don't do it naturally. It'd be interesting to know if it actually works or not. I'm not sure how to classify the impulses people have surrounding "they're not like me." I also recall actual violence when forced busing was in play to remix the balance of who went to what school.

I think the problem in America is the overwhelming use of techniques of sub-linguistic persuasion in media. Think of Alex Baldwin's character in "Glengarry/Glen Ross." Or, if you prefer, an actual practitioner who is running for President right now.
