I'm not rude, and nor am I distracted. But there are always multiple high priority things going on, and my job isn't to give one of them 100% attention, it is to make sure they are all done.
What is the camera sensor model and manufacturer? So far based on hardware features list it doesn't look like a photo oriented smartphone, but more like a regular Androind based phone.

First, "that's simply not true" is a counter claim. So now you need evidence.

Second, yes, law enforcement needs a warrant to legally compel a company to provide them with information. But what if the company (or an individual within it) is willing to provide data without being served with a warrant? Unless taking the information is in violation of privacy laws, what's to keep a police officer from using that? (Call it an "informant" if you wish to equate it with similar non-electronic situations.)
Bottled Water or Tap: How Much Does Your Choice Matter?
SIM swap fraud has been common in South Africa for years, and bank accounts were being cleaned out before the cell networks tightened their procedures. Yet I've started to see reports of similar scams in the developed world.

I'm surprised that anyone is surprised by this. Perhaps the time has come for a more global approach to security.
Google does another stupid thing (or at least it used to do two years ago, but I think it's still doing it): when you pick Google Auth for 2FA, and for some reason you can't use it, you can still login to your account with an SMS code...

Like WTF Google? Any attacker could just as easily do that, too, anytime they want. As long as this remains true, Google Authenticator (or any other Google security measure that could easily by bypassed this way with SMS) has literally zero advantages over SMS, while retaining the disadvantages of being less convenient to use, etc.
Yeah, maybe human review is not the most scalable solution; if data analysis shows that certain patterns of behaviour are highly predictive of an account takeover, there are almost certainly product solutions for them.

I guess the real question is what the data actually show

Google seems to think phones are very secure:

Why mobile phones are more secure

Your mobile phone is a more secure identification method than your recovery email address or a security question because, unlike the other two, you have physical possession of your mobile phone.
Even modern C++ isn't memory safe. Most straightforward example is to move a uniq_ptr, which makes it a nullptr, ready to be dereferenced and cause UB.
Supporting Peter Thiel isn't embracing 'diversity'
I'm not sure I want to ever work with you. There are a lot of situations when with my coworker I discuss things in a way that could be misunderstood. This because my coworker have access to a lot of context (we work together) and they are well intentioned and able to extrapolate from the context my real meaning and belief. The general public doesn't have the same context. Plus, a third party could have a vested interest in representing my ideas under the worst light for me. So this is why I want to make some statement publicly, knowing the impact of my phrase, and use a different tone in private with people that know me.

And that's without touching the problem of public policies. Honestly speaking, some issues are generally too complex to be analyzed in a debate or in public speeches. So complex articulated analysis needs to be reduced and simplified. On some topic, it is possible to have a point of view that, when expressed, is a very valid one, but requires a lot of education to get buy-in from the general public. So if you are a politician what do you do? You could choose to use part of your consensus to push for a dividing policy and educate the public on why you are right. Are you could decide to wait, flow with the public, until you are ready to make your position public.
I withdraw the counterclaim, then. I simply dispute the original claim.

As for a company providing information without a warrant, recent case law is closing/has closed the door on a company's ability to do such a thing (not that they are, considering how many companies have stringent privacy agreements with their users).
> A gaming PC is prohibitively expensive still

No it's not, something that's not fancy but that can drive a 1920x1080 display at excellent frame rates with all modern games can be built for less than $550 total.

The problem with "cloud" GPU services is that huge number of random customers will be using less than optimal broadband connections via shitty ADSL2+ lines, last mile WISPs with sub 10 Mbps PtMP connections, overcongested cablemodem networks (hello comcast). The ISP and last mile connection are totally outside of the control of the cloud gaming service, which results in a customer perception of a shitty gaming experience.
Yes, that's fishy. And if the scammer has some balls, he will talk the victim into sending the cops after you. Have fun.
Firstly: This should be changed to link to the original Gallup article [0] since the submitted link is just a shameless reformatting of their original work (and is harder to read).

Secondly: Something I think people are missing is that breaches of company values are part of the ammunition that can be used to fire people. I'd wager that's as much of the purpose of (big-company) "values" as anything else.

> So the real problem is the lack of electrical safety guarantees for products sold online

I disagree. Not all products have this problem. I may be in the minority here, but I actively throw away my crappy power plugs because of the risk they pose. That's an uneeded risk I don't take.

Looking in my apt I have:

- Anker chargers for my USB stuff

- An Apple power adapter for my mac

- A Vizio TV with built in PSU

- AudioTechnica PSU on my speakers

- General Electric Microwave

I'm sure I'm missing some PSUs that plug into the wall (as opposed to internal ones) somewhere. But the point is, I have a reasonable guarantee of safety when buying from an established brand. General Electric is over 100 years old. By allowing counterfeiters, my expectation of good engineering when buying from established brands is eroded. It diminishes my safety. If you don't use crappy PSUs, then crappy PSUs are not a problem.
As opaque and oppressive as it sometimes can be, I highly recommend that people at least understand the kinds of contracts listed in the FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulation):

https://www.acquisition.gov/?q=browse/far/16

These contract structures apply to more than just federal contracts and have helped me dramatically understanding different contract structures. Anyway, long story short, each contract type has a different amount of risk and reward and it's extremely important that both parties understand and choose the contract type most appropriate for the work. Even fixed priced contracts have a lot of variation:

http://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/ccap/cc/jcchb/Files/Topical/Cont...

Anyway, it does take time to learn this language, but the there are many local chapters of the National Contract Management Association (http://www.ncmargc.org/) that run seminars and study groups that can help understand this kind of language.
The thing is, government is slow, and we all know it takes time, but the fact that people can see a map and realize that a lot of people want what they want will help this move along. There likely won't be as many stops as people want and some neighborhoods will fight it. Ultimately it will be built and will allow easy access to the beach from downtown as well as to the financial district from peoples homes.
> "[...] he has demonstrated absolutely no interest in protecting it"

> "The filing described Mr. Martin as computer genius who easily outsmarted government efforts to protect secrets and said he possessed an advanced understanding of how to encrypt messages and hide information in cyberspace."

This doesn't really make sense and the wording also hints at sensationalism. It reads like a classic case of deflection, making the accused appear considerably more powerful than he actually is.

This, to me, shows a few things:

- the NSA clearly has no clue who accesses "their" data, when, or how

- the NSA will throw anybody under the bus to save face

- the NSA, to this date, still refuse to put their own inadequacy in the balance and traded their integrity for the power to sustain the organization itself at the cost of everything else (including their original purpose)

Why on earth is this organization still allowed to operate at all?
You are asking them to store your files and give them back to you on request, after all.

> Of course, you might argue that when you get 2X better, you can charge 2X more per hour. I agree, assuming you know how to convince your (new or existing customers) that you are now two times better. This can be hard.

Based on the example scenario given, it shouldn't be that hard. You just give a lower time estimate.

For small stuff, the hours may be negligible. For larger stuff, they may not believe you. This is where marketing, referrals, testimonials, etc come in.

From my perspective, I want to work on your project as little as possible, because it's likely tedious and boring, so I'll charge a higher rate and plan to get done ASAP. Clients see high rate and think "ah... he's going to run up as many hours as possible" (well, some do).

With most projects I'm involved in, there's some reasonable upper limit on budget regardless of hours or rates. They may have a few months to get something done, and $x. When I can to the level of knowledge and trust, we can prioritize the work and scope. Those engagements end up a bit more like 'fixed bid', but the bid is "best effort on these items, in this order, by this date, for $x". Everyone's expectations are known up front, and they have the "gotta haves" and "nice to haves" prioritized. Doesn't mean nothing ever changes, but that approach - when I can get there - has been great.
I get what you mean, I've been frequenting HN for years so I know the crowd. Regarding magic, to me it's not so much about whether magic exists but what it is. Sure, it's trickery, originally I guess it is what we would call technology, only wider, technology and psychology perhaps. It's about making things come to happen.

I guess I could put it this way, Clarke's quote ("Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic") is mistaken, any sufficiently advanced technology is magic, it's just that we are disillusioned.

I agree that it's more honest to be an illusionist than a witch doctor, but there are powerful magicians out there today, take Trump for instance, he's got the whole world enthralled.

I have just summoned tens of points to my karma account using nothing but my words, and I'm sure there are more to come.

It's not a big deal. Thanks for the advice though. ;)
I'm a huge fan of customizable camera firmware. Playing with software controlling visual input brings me joy, have bunch of cameras and lack of leather is not a problem at all.
> You've just wasted that bandwidth on the local tower (which matters if you're in urban areas).

But with tiered data plans, we paid for that anyway. I would understand if they offer this as a service we can enable to lower how much data we use, but making it mandatory is weird.

Non-mobile devices can generate a higher volume of data than a mobile device alone. You can go eat at an all-you-can-eat buffet, but they don't let you bring a wheelbarrow with

Sure, but with data caps, why do they care how I use my data? If I want to use more by using my laptop, what difference does it make to them?
Switch uses a different architecture (ARM) than the Wii U (PowerPC) so straight-up playing games off the original discs won't happen. They'll have to be re-released.
It's probably the most serious Linux local privilege escalation ever.

Look, the Azimuth people have forgotten more about reliable exploit development than I have ever known, but, no, as stated, this is clearly not true. Not long ago, pretty much all local privesc bugs were practically 100% reliable.

What I think they mean to say is that this is unusually reliable for a kernel race.

I still think, though, that the right mental model to have regarding Linux privesc bugs is:

1. If there's a local privesc bug with a published exploit, assume it's 100% reliable.

2. In almost all cases, whether or not there's a known local privesc bug, assume that code execution on your Linux systems equates to privesc; this is doubly true of machines in your prod deployment environment.
Does this actually allow modifying the binary on disk, or just modifying the in-memory cached page? (i.e., is this a persistent attack that survives a reboot?)
>I should have an app that tells me the name, badge number and location of every officer on duty within ten miles of me, updated in real time, with constant video and audio surveillance.

I fail to believe such a machine cannot be made. I do however believe it may not be economical to do so. If it can be measured then why cannot it be reproduced? None of the values you listed cannot be measured and accounted for.

Can it be used from C, e.g. C that statically links the library? Does it depend on the GC? What is the current speed? Thanks!

Edit: Re "just know they exist" (meaning libraries) in the answer: That's why I started the topic, the people who use only C wouldn't have chance to try the library unless the people who know enough Rust give something explicit that works and can be actually tested in linkability, functionality and speed.
But "breaking things" is kind of an anti-establishment act by definition.

You may not agree with it, but anarchist ideology was a fundamental part of hacker culture long before computer literacy became mainstream. The modern usage is a corruption of an ideal.

As noted elsewhere on HN today, I can't access the article, even by clicking on the 'web link'. NYT seems to have upped the ante - it's not even free-to-try anymore.

This works as long as they don't insist on verifying you through that secondary phone number (this is the case for now for Google I think - if something suspicious is going on, they ask you if you want an sms with a verification code, or an email to a secondary address; but maybe not all services with 2FA make this optional).

It's not fun to have 2 phones always with you. But maybe the 2-SIM devices will become more mainstream soon, which can solve this problem.
Robobarista
You're right that I'm taking it a step farther than Rowe did.

The thing is, those who oppose this really are putting forward a strawman, at least relative to what SCOTUS has told us is in-bounds. They've found that a law requiring ID for in-person voting was OK, because it also provided for

A) A means to obtain IDs for free; or

B) People without ID could still vote by (as I recall) going to city hall and showing other identifying documents

With these conditions, I think it clearly changes from a question of excluding people because of money, to one more like I said, where it's just testing whether people are willing to get off their butts and invest a little bit of effort.
They didn't ban your account for not having a phone number.
BROWSERS are really dangerous; if you need to keep your machine secure, you shouldn't use any IMHO. By definition, browsers need to be able to access things such as page content. What would stop someone from writing a browser that captures your bank credentials? Nothing.
Obviously no security-conscious user is going to install a bank credential stealing browser. But what about bugs in browsers? If a buggy browser can be made to execute arbitrary code, it is as dangerous as a malicious browser...

At the end, it's a matter of trust in your browser or your extensions.
6 Fatal Mistakes Are Often Made in Life
Love Carlin, but you can't make keeping your hands clean the main priority in life.

I raise you one Emerson:
"The other terror that scares us from self-trust is our consistency; a reverence for our past act or word, because the eyes of others have no other data for computing our orbit than our past acts, and we are loath to disappoint them.

But why should you keep your head over your shoulder? Why drag about this corpse of your memory, lest you contradict somewhat you have stated in this or that public place? Suppose you should contradict yourself; what then?

A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day.--'Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.'--Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood."
Why is that better?
No, they've built their model on the fact that for the vast majority of their users this will never be an issue. Maybe a celebrity, maybe an important target but the average user, never going to be an issue.

Email is the gateway to almost everything else. It's used for account recovery as well as (wrongly) passwords and other sensitive information. Google Drive and docs would also be compromised.

It's actually a bigger issue that you would think.

Thanks, but which of those can be simply taken as the library linked to C code and called from the C code, and so that it doesn't depend on GC? Because as long as that step doesn't exist, it can't be used as the possible substitution for the current libraries?
My father's lost (from my estimates) about $350K from a christianmingle.com scam. It's wrecked his life, both financially. He went from living in a very nice apartment in a very nice part of Munich to living in a crappy place close to the slums of Calais. I'm estranged from him, so I haven't been able to talk him out of anything, but I doubt I could have anyway. My brother's snooped on his email and IMs for the last few years. These guys are really, really good at what they do.

I wonder at what point the services which let this happen become at least in part responsible. I contacted christianmingle.com and never got any response.
