The "persistent" in APT refers to the threat actor, not the tools themselves. So this is an APT because the threat actor has shown persistence by e.g. using multiple SWCs over a period of time and evolving their techniques. The individual tools used by the threat actor may not persist and in fact often don't, as APTs are much more likely to cover their tracks since they have a longer-term vision.

I just wanted to check if you truly believe he has changed over the last few years or if he would say it against if there was nothing important at stake. Even taken with all the context you can? Just checking.
Until recently officers usually had to provide most of their own equipment. You can still see leftovers from this in the British military, where for example you are responsible for buying your own dress uniforms from private tailors (but you get a grant to somewhat cover it these days).
I know there's a few lawyers here. Assuming that these lawsuits were filed against non-existent defendants, and that the agreements from these "defendants" were actually written and submitted by the plaintiff -- What's the realistic punishment here? Would these false documents be sworn statements, and if so, would that put perjury on the table?
More than you would think.

I'm always surprised to see how just how much misinformation and misconceptions there are in regards to the US tax system.
I've seen a fair number of folks in the mechanical keyboard community (admittedly rather small already) that customize their switches. For example, a common mod for mechanical switches is to replace the springs in the switch housing, which affects how much force is required to depress the switch. Others replace the stem, which is the colored part of the switch, changing its feel (tactile vs linear, smooth vs course).

Given that, would you consider someone building their own switch as someone who's created a custom switch from these components? e.g. I've read of folks putting Zealios stems in Gateron housings with 80g+ springs to create their ideal switch type.
I get the feeling HN needs something of a rewrite for better Unicode support in general, based solely on the ways I've seen it strip Unicode from comments.

This is a common thing that comes up since most of these manuscripts were gathered by private "archaeologist." If not seen in the light of manuscripts we have for other ancient text it is easy to forget how significant these were/are. We don't have any ancient manuscripts with anything close to these.

its awesome just to see them online.

It would not be economically viable because underground tunnels are enormously expensive to build. The reason they can work for subways is because you don't need to excavate that much space for a subway train to move a whole ton of people. While bikes take up an order of magnitude less space than cars per person, subways take up another order of magnitude less space than bikes.
Wanting the referendum to be overturned doesn't mean that one is undemocratic. My reasons for wanting the referendum overturned are the same reasons I don't want referendums in the first place. Namely I believe that referendums work directly against the way our democracies work. Currently we have a system where parties vi for our vote. If a party then does things that we don't agree with (e.g. promise tons of things and then renege on them) then at the next election they can be voted out. The key point here is that decision makers can be held accountable and decisions can be changed. In a referendum there is no going back or accountability. This provides the incentive to lie as much as possible to get your way. This was very evident in the referendum campaign where the out campaign variously lied about more money than is possible on the NHS, increasing immigration from Commonwealth countries and how much of our laws originated from the EU. So if the decision to leave for 2% of voters was based on these issues then the result of the referendum is based on a lie. Is that democratic?

Messages are end-to-end encrypted in iMessage, meaning Apple cannot read the message contents. This solution would require Apple to bypass that encryption for URLs (which are often privacy-sensitive).

A good approach would be for the sender to fetch the URL and embed the preview as metadata along with the message. The only downside is that the sender could spoof the preview, but I think that's an acceptable trade-off here (not much of a phishing vector when you end up loading the original site once you open the link anyway).

Well... I'd say by definition, only science fiction can present any view of the future, optimistic or not. There are tons of great movies and books about the present and past that are uplifting and optimistic, and certainly plenty of incredibly depressing science fiction novels. I do agree that it's the inspirational character of science fiction that's more important than the particular facts, though.

On Linux, set the sysctl vm.overcommit_memory = 2.

You can also usually instruct libc to trash freed memory as a debugging mode. But I don't know how to get glibc to do so. Valgrind is good at tracking this kind of thing as well, although slower.
Are we? Go figure - I've been getting the installer popups from Springboard for a while, but I guess it doesn't show minor versions if the major versions differ; it's just been saying "iOS 10", and I took that to mean no patches had been released.

So I suppose I should say rather I would expect to see it corrected in iOS 10.1, at latest.
TortoiseGit is by far the best Git GUI on Windows or anywhere else. The UI is light, fast and it stays out of your way. It's very tightly integrated with the file browser, which is really the only app I want to be using to look at my files...

SourceTree OTOH is slow and clunky on every platform. But even if it had a light and fast UI - it's not integrated with my file browser, which sucks. With TortoiseGit, every Git command that I need is a single click away when I'm viewing my files.

Don't you pay a double lossy compression penalty?

1). .mp3 or .aac throws away data

2). Transmitting over bluetooth recompesses and throws away more data

I think in principle Apple could avoid one of these with AirPods if the the iPhone7 streamed .aac/.mp3 as a custom Bluetooth codec, but I haven't heard if they wen that route.

Sending the requests from the client is probably not the most secure idea. Requests should be proxied through a cloud server on Apple's end to reduce the security risk of these previews.
You have it backwards. There is not one practice that you can just extract and implant into a new culture. They avoid accidents because they have a culture that has grown and valued riding bikes. This culture has manifested in many practices that are taught and reinforced by the culture. The actual individual things are of little significance individually. It is about the awareness and culture pressure to make efforts to always make bikers safer. Just telling people to do this one neat trick will lead to most people ignoring it or forgetting to do it.
One could do a "subjective" review by carrying around both a iPhone 6s+ and 7+ on Verizon Network (best case conditions) in NYC or other city with skyscrapers and population density and comparing signal, making voice calls, checking download speeds, etc.
Hacks occur to due bugs in software. Theoretically, one could write bug-free software. Practically, this is very hard for any non-trivial software.

Creator of ZW here: I'm happy to answer any questions!

I created ZoneWatcher because at work we manage a ton of DNS zones for clients and it became a chore to backup & monitor all of those zones across many providers. This was especially troublesome when a client / contractor would edit a dns entry and screw it up without a backup.

With ZW this isn't a problem anymore as you'll have a complete changelog of everything :)

I would have figured Apple proxied the preview to their own URL crawler which could automagically pluck the best preview image, similar to the magic that FB / Slack do when sharing a link. This would mask the IP / Geo and Apple could cache a preview image.

I find that difference in treatment to be curious. I have very little confidence in a helmet providing sufficient protection in an automobile collision. Other forms of accidents, sure. Then again, cycling culure is very different in my part of the world. Motorists are more likely to respect a cyclist if they behave like a motorist. That often means going fast on the part of the road that is in the worse condition.

This is surprising and counter to what most others are experiencing.

Many of the performance optimizations have tradeoffs and while they increase performance for the majority of cases, some cases will experience slight degradation.

This is also a surprisingly long time for initialization. My site with a few hundred pages on a rather old mac (with an SSD) has

I currently own a number of ergonomic keyboards. Kinesis Freestyle 2 at office, Microsoft Sculpt Ergo at home and I've discovered my ideal keyboard would be a mix of the two.

Would love any ideas on how a custom keyboard could reasonably (time wise) be designed to combine the best aspects of both keyboards:

- separated halves of the Freestyle2,

- wireless bluetooth for both halves instead of the wire the Freestyle2 requires,

- curve like the Microsoft Sculpt Ergo keyboard.

- Ok with either full keys or scissor keys.
They used to do deep dive the on chip architecture too. I guess now that anand is no longer there maybe their mission has changed.

I think you need to take into consideration that this is designed to be used on voice where the speaker is not aware that they are speaking to a computer (or that they are being recorded at all).

When people talk to Siri, Cortana, or Dragon, they take unnatural care in the clarity of their speech compared to normal talk only meant for humans. Also the speaker may not have been speaking directly into a microphone, lots of background noise, etc.

All of these factors probably combine for a much lower accuracy than what Apple, Microsoft, and Google are going to be dealing with in usual cases. Also keep in mind they all have incentive to inflate their own products accuracy score. Not that the same incentive doesn't also exist for this company/product.

The other day I was at a four-way intersection, waiting at traffic lights with my bike, next to a car on my right. Red light was showing. There was no oncoming traffic. Then, on a whim, instead of waiting before I could move forward, I turned right 45 degrees and in an attempt to cross the road, walked my bike in front of the car and as I was passing the car, an aggressive motorcyclist who was behind the car moved out of the line very quickly with an intention to jump the red light and in doing so ended up T-boning my bike. I could get away safely but not without minor damage to my bike.
It would also expose any URL you send or receive via iMessage to Apple, whereas messages are otherwise end-to-end encrypted.

A particularly interesting buried lede in the article:

> And the possibility of such shenanigans bears on the Hassell v. Bird litigation that is now before the California Supreme Court: The issue there (see here and here) is whether takedown injunctions can actually be made legally binding on Internet platforms, rather than just being something that platforms choose whether to follow. The questionable nature of many such injunctions is reason to further insist that platforms not be legally bound by them.

That would be a major win, if successful.
Agreed. The more expected case would be: your httpd is already handling XXX million clients, but the next one comes in and you fail to malloc a tracking structure. Closing the connection and dropping the one client makes more sense than aborting the daemon and dropping all clients.
I think if you are using Linux you are most probably familiar with the CLI (and probably preffer to solve things there instead of using the "magic" of GUI programs). Of all the possible markets for Tower, Linux is probably the least profitable one.
In my opinion, other than the whole catching-on-fire-thing, the Note 7 was one of the best, if the the best Android device out today. Least amount of bloatware on a Samsung yet, they unified the software for the S Pen, the S Pen is better this time around, and it just looks gorgeous.

I'm not sure what the problem is. Maybe Samsung rushed it, maybe it's a defect in some supplier made component, etc I have no idea but it does seem rather unfortunate and kinda sad to see such a nice phone not only be effectively done but it likely caused a lot of brand damage to Samsung in general (lots of reports of airline employees saying Samsung Galaxy phones, not just notes, are not allowed which granted is probably a misunderstanding but the brand impact is there).

My wife currently has a replaced Note 7 and she absolutely loves it and hates that she'll probably have to give it up.
You're right! It can get a little tricky...
Still, if you're unit economics don't work, you're going to have a hard time building a company.Disruptive business models sometimes work (and history is always written in hindsight)... But basic economic principles always hold true
I'm dismayed that twice, the titles have obscured what the essay is about. The article's title is "Dear Unit Economics, I hate you" which buries the lede, and then the (original) HN submitted title "The Most Terrifying Term in the Entrepreneurial Dictionary" is another distraction.

The article doesn't explain any strategic thinking or tradeoffs around "unit economics". It's mostly about the "on-demand" startups that are trying the "Uber for X" model not making money. Yes, their unit economics are bad (so far) but the author doesn't make a distinction between strategically losing money on purpose to try and gain market share vs a fundamentally broken businesses models that loses money forever.

Example of negative unit economics that turned out fine would be Paypal's $10 credit promotion for new account signups. They had negative unit economics from 1998 - 2002

Yes, the vast majority of on-demand startups will fail but they feel their unit economics will eventually become positive. A better analysis would explain why they will never become positive. (If the speculation on eventual W-2 employee status for all "contractors" is the main reason, well, I suppose you could have titled the article "W-2 threatens all on-demand startups") A lot of them are losing money now but we (and the VCs funding them) already know that.

The Great Silence – Fermi's Paradox and Parrots
If people think strongly enough about a topic, it will happen.
Send him the book "Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software", by Charles Petzold. It's often available used on Amazon for cheap.
I was deliberately careful with the wording - yes, in distributed systems, we may be unable to determine which event came first. But one of them did happen first in reality, we just can't tell which. However, in some cases (see the Wikipedia link) it's not even true that one of them did happen first - it depends on where you observe them from and there is no definitive answer! Relativity is weird.
First off, their sample size (6,000) is pretty small to be generalizing to all Americans. Second, if 63% of these freelancers (which is pretty loosely defined in their survey) say they are freelancing voluntarily, that means 37% would rather have a normal full-time job. So 13% of total people in the "workforce" are forced to freelance and are likely underemployed as a result. That's not exactly indicative of the healthy job market the BLS likes to claim we have.
if tortoisegit is the best there is (that's what I use since forever when I'm not actually in msysgit's shell, and usually I am - never tried anything else), then there's quite a lot of room for a better GUI client.

I mean, tortoise gets the job done, but it isn't what I'd consider fast or convenient.
>> You are implying that in your plan there would be no elephants in the wild right?

No, I think the idea is that once we have elephant breeded on ranches then the ivory becomes cheap and easily available thus making poaching business not profitable anymore, making wild elephants safe.

Of course the problem with that approach is that raising an elephant is not cheap, so ivory from domesticated elephants won't be that much cheaper. Unless you can make enough money on elephant's meat, which is also unlikely, since, as someone in this thread noticed, growing nice pair of tusks takes 50 years, and meat of old animals tend to taste much worse than that from younger ones.
