Occam says that the security researcher has notified critically affected parties through the normal channels and Mozilla and others are embargoed from talking about it until its been fixed?
Angular runs eval-like functions on HTML in the DOM. The DOM can be controlled by the webpage. When Angular runs in an extension (which has more permissions than the page) using the DOM controlled by the webpage, then the webpage can write code into the DOM that Angular executes from within the extension's security context. It's not the browser's fault that Angular trusts the webpage's DOM like that; Angular just isn't built for extensions.

McMansion Hell: The Devil Is in the Details
It's not silly at all. Many populations have difficulty maintaining current state-issued IDs with current addresses displayed on them. Remember that voting is a constitutionally guaranteed right. Driving is not. ID is not.

Example: Your mother falls and breaks her hip, requiring that she move into an assisted living facility in a neighboring town. How does she get to DMV to get her state-issued ID updated?

Example: You're a chambermaid at a hotel, which requires that you work from 5AM to 4PM daily. You don't own a car and you don't get PTO or paid breaks. DMV is open from 8-4, closed from 12-1. Your 1-year lease wasn't renewed and you had to move recently. What do you do?

You also have the issue of right to vote. Municipal elections in my city require residency, not citizenship. How do you distinguish between these elections?

Voter-ID proposals sound reasonable and neutral, but only exist to increase the friction associated with voting to decrease voter turnout, particularly among the poor, elderly and minorities. Just like Amazon has one-click to increase conversion, and eats the cost of accidental orders, the voting system needs to be as frictionless as possible for a strong democracy.
Go the fuck home
I think most residents of SF and the Bay Area would agree with that. It's NIMBY-madness here.

Most people outside the Bay probably would be surprised, but here? Nah, it's "well.. yeah, duh."
I would say it's both.
No thanks. Management requires too many things I'm just not good at, or would be miserable spending my time doing: talking to people all day long, sitting in meetings, doing powerpoint stuff, attempting to mentor people, playing politics with upper management, doing performance reviews, etc. There's nothing there I derive any enjoyment from.

What I do wish I could do is find a job where I travel around a lot and debug problems for customers on-site. I like traveling and don't mind spending time in hotels (as long as they're nice ones), and like being able to do different things instead of the same thing day after day, month after month. I also like problem-solving and debugging (esp. when I'm not the one to blame for the bug!), and have been very good at this kind of work in past jobs.
I felt that their aim in excluding third party software was reasonably clear when they noted that Tesla Network would be handling self-driving for revenue. If they really mean no self-driving for cash payment, not affecting the car otherwise, I am less enthused about that, but I maintain that they can write this into the use of the software if they ensure that people are adequately informed.

There are frequently limits put on use by sellers even when things are sold outright. You can purchase prescription drugs, but you can't just give them to anyone, or resell them without limits. You can often get software licenses for educational purposes that are not to be used for business. You may not like such restrictions, and certainly I don't think they should be made mandatory for everybody by law, but I don't think making it illegal for a company to make such rules is a very good idea. The easiest solution is simply to not purchase the offending product.

Edit: as regards the commercal/non-commercial mods, I think it's reasonable to imagine that they are trying to avoid the commercial insurance snafus that have entangled ride-sharing apps. When you accept money for a service you put yourself into a bunch of liability positions. And in this case, the liability is on the creator of the self-driving program.
High and dry: ballooning over the Atacama Desert
I think the issue here is that we're not discovering new architectures as one discovers particles, we're creating them. The creative space is infinite, and people are making subtle tweaks to neural network systems all the time. It's not science, it's engineering.

Right now, we're in the early stages of engineering, like architecture before modern physics: we know some things that work, and we have some good intuitions about why, but there's little solid foundation to tell us how to proceed. We take some loose inspiration from nature (replace tanh functions with rectifiers to mimic action potentials in the brain, build convolutional networks similar to the retina) and find that it's more effective, sometimes, and sometimes less. We also just try a lot of stuff in hopes that something will stick. It's not as if there are some real, true neural networks out there, waiting like particles to be discovered: everything in the neural network zoo was built by hand, maybe inspired by nature, and saved because it works well, or is at least interesting; other architectures are forgotten. What we'd like is engineering principles that we can understand, so trying to make a neural network better at function x is just a matter of adding more units here or editing a function there, not venturing out into the dark again. (Such a reductive set of explanations may not exist for cognition, which really worries people who liked computers for their predictability.)

Not really. Transport problems don't go away with self-driving vehicles. In fact they just end up having the same issues (they're a form of mass transit if they end up shared).
Followed up immediately with "Are all parts of Angular affected?" The charitable interpretation is that he is asking "is there a safe subset of Angular that we can use instead of a blanket ban?".
Like the thought leadership. However predicting costs in Serverless environments can be a challenge. Infrastructure costs, even if elastic are more predictable. Thoughts on how to project spend or determining compute resources per function ?
This is why you build for the future - not the present.
Congratulations on seeing the opportunity and quickly moving to do something about it. It is unique enough at first sight that you got early coverage in the press, which is very helpful.

Quick question: I did not see anything unique to "old geek" in the website, other than the URL of course. I guess it is an implicit assumption by both job seekers as well as job posters.

On that note, where would this concept be headed if other job sites added a simple attribute called age (or something similar but more palatable) where job posters could specify their preferred age range, and job seekers could search on it?
No, that's the facile assumption to enable finger-pointing. My money is on an interaction between two legitimate design choices when considered independently.
1991 VG: Natural or Artificial?
I understand the comparison, but I think equating using encryption to trying to hide something to be mostly a fallacy. Maybe there's a nonzero correlation, but despite having "nothing to hide" (that is, nothing particularly serious or interesting), I still highly prefer using encryption where possible.
> but game titles are tied to the console

they are not.
you only need to contact Nintendo if your account is still TIED TO ANOTHER 3DS.
However if it isn't you can just buy a new 3DS and selling the old one before you have the new one. If you've forgotten to detach your account your games are missing.

Here a german letter (I translated it) that I got from Nintendo before selling my 3DS (I wanted to sell the Games with the Account):

Die Spiele, die Sie mit Ihrer NNID erworben haben, werden für den Nachbesitzer also nicht verfügbar sein, vielmehr sind die Lizenzen der Spiele
mit Ihrer NNID verknüpft.
Spiele sind auch nicht zwischen NNID's übertragbar.

Eventuell vorinstallierte Spiele (wie z.B. Mario Kart 7) sind mit der Seriennummer der Konsole verknüpft und werden für den Nachbesitzer wieder
verfügbar sein, solange Sie vorher keinen Datentransfer auf eine andere Konsole aus der New Nintendo 3DS-Familie durchgeführt haben.

NNID = Nintendo ID.
In short it says Licenses are connected with the Nintendo ID. Only Games that are pre-installed on the Console will be tied with the Console ID, if you didn't do any Datatransfer to another Device.

However I detached the ID and bough a 2DS later and I still can play all the Games on my NNID. Basically I only sold the 3DS + Cartridge Games.
Mass transit is about architecture, not transportation. What we're really talking about here is where we can make dense neighborhoods that can be served by subways. Cars can't serve dense neighborhoods because they are too big for the number of people carried, and there's nowhere to store them when they are empty. On the flip side, sparse neighborhoods can't be served by mass transit because there aren't enough people who can reach the system, and it takes to long to go anywhere.

So the question really is what kind of architecture do you want? After that question is answered you can talk about whether cars or trains make more sense for that place.
Rust has been stable for a year and a half, it won't "change drastically" like that.
Didn't DFW write a review of sorts of Dostoevki or one of his works?
No, the vulnerability specifically has to do with Angular within extensions. Angular trusts the page DOM and uses eval-like functions on code within it. This is relatively fine if the DOM isn't controlled by someone else, but in cases where the DOM is controlled by someone with less permissions (ie. Angular is running in a higher-privilege extension, and the DOM is controlled by some webpage), then then an attacker can elevate their permissions by writing code into the DOM and letting Angular execute it within the extension.
Not necessarily. JS in addons has to run in a more privileged environment to interact with the browser. However, that makes it possible to write insecure addons. In this case, Angular 1.x might contain the insecure code.

For example: arbitrary user input from a web page is passed to the addon. Angular handles it, and does "eval-like things"[0] with it. Now the attacker is running arbitrary code in a privileged environment.

[0] eval-like things is a core part of how Angular works. So the vulnerability doesn't necessarily apply to Angular 1.x in a normal web page. But it wasn't designed to be run with higher privileges.
If you think of the use cases they showed in the demo, they're not using the battery for extended amounts of time. The guy was playing while his dog did its business. That's a few minutes, maybe 15 minutes. Maybe half an hour if the dog wants to play a bit. My dogs usually tire themselves out at the dog park in about that time.

The guy playing at the airport, you might be waiting up to an hour. When he got on the plane, he plugged it in.

The guys at the basketball game seemed like they were killing time while they cooled down, maybe up to an hour.

The person at the rooftop party, she was at a party. They're probably not playing for hours.

The people in the car, I don't remember if they plugged it in or not but they could have, or they'd be playing on a short trip.

The one case where the person is in tablet-mode for an extended period of time, he sat down and immediately plugged it in. I wouldn't be surprised if we find an hour or two of battery life with the most taxing games.

The problem with mass surveillance, is mostly that masses aren't using it to benefit/protect themselves.
What do you mean by claiming to not have framed it as a legitimate theory; you're saying it's an illegitimate theory, as in, you yourself don't believe it's true?
Fair question.

Mozilla is probably unable to disclose not just the vulnerability, but other surrounding info they may have been provided, including which other parties have received that info. They are not saying the Angular team is unaware of the problem, right? Only that they themselves are not the ones reporting it.

If you don't honor such request without a VERY STRONG reason, nobody in their right mind will ever disclose anything to you ever again. Right now we don't and can't know if such a strong reason exists.
At least until they get tired and change their minds, which may not take that long.
> Honestly posts like these should be automod deleted.

Are you not simultaneously advocating and decrying the exact same activity?
The API is stable and worth building for. The remaining upheaval seems to be in tooling: how Visual Studio works with .NET Core projects and how command line/Linux/OS X works with projects.

The existing tooling is alright enough that it is "safe" to use. This blog post reminds that the update to more final tooling should be somewhat seamless (VS will handle it for you automatically like any other project upgrade/migration; `dotnet migrate` will do the job for CLI and other platforms) and is on its way.
There's a world of difference between an exploit being known to someone and that exploit being put up for sale on the black market. In either case, if the researcher who found the exploit sold it, that hardly makes Mozilla complicit in his actions.

You're still dismissing the actual context of these comments and projecting your own read-between-the-lines ambiguous alternative universe in its place.

I don't think it could be much more clear that this guy thinks that media coverage has "been" (and I quote him saying "been" because he's talking in the past tense) 1) sub-par, trivialised entertainment rather than thought-provoking information 2) needs to be something better in the future.

The author of this email writes books about policy and how to improve it! He's particularly interested in improving cultural and civic life. We can see quite clearly the context of his comments, and the broader context of who he is and why he's engaging in this dialog.

Or we could ignore all that and whip up a bizzarely contextless fantasy constructed around misreading the word "we" and ignoring pretty much everything else. Oh wait, I just said "we" in the previous sentence yet I don't mean myself - gee, how about that?

Worse still, I think you're actually guilty of the very problem he laments. Rather than having a dialog around politics of careful debate and fair analysis, we (again this "we" does not include me) are content to dismiss the facts, stir up fake controversy and peddle conspiracy theories and other attention-grabbing but ultimately misleading soundbites.
It will help to some extent, but SOVs suffer from induced demand. The ability of automated cars may make roads more congested.

A grade separated line will carry more people to destinations that are built around that infrastructure faster than self driving cars.
Yes definitely. It's just that to a normal person who doesn't know the sport, it might seem that being good at freestyle translated to being good at regular soccer/football.
One of the comments in that article references a paper that suggests that 1991 VG "will return in 2016".

Does anyone know if it did in fact return, and if it any astronomers went to the trouble of observing it closely this time around?

Update:

Well, I think I just found the answer to my own question: This article [1] claims that 1991 VG "is due for another close pass in the summer of 2017, but it will be farther from Earth than in 1991 and only viewable from the Southern Hemisphere."

Great demo. Curious if there were outtakes. It occurred to me when it parked itself that cars will probably want to distinguish subtle differences in parking spaces (like handicapped, loading, etc.)
> Nope, it's not autonomous, it's Autopilot!

Yeah, well... it's not really autonomous. It's a slightly better cruise control + assisted lane change. In fact the "Autopilot" marketing term makes it sound much more like fully autonomous driving than it actually is.
Word on the street is that the higher echelons of Nintendo are absolutely terrified of a pedophile picking up children on their network. When views through that lens, all of their Internet decisions make sense.

What is justifying this?

If the vulnerable part is in Angular, there's a 100% chance that someone can write code in plain JS that is vulnerable to the same attack. E.g. if there was something in the hashbang-url-router that would lead to eval'ing the code in the hash (which I just made up, but would describe such a class of vulnerability). This means it's pointless to ban Angular.

If something Angular does triggers an issue in the Firefox JS engine, it is Firefox that should be fixed, instead of allowing essentially a 0day exploit to be alive.

Not true. Google has diverged development of Angular 1 and 2. Angular 1 was initially developed with designers in mind, but it caught on with developers. They developed Angular 2 with developers in mind. Angular 2 is different from 1 in many respects. I don't see Google dropping Angular 1 support anytime soon.
Yes, exactly.

And the problem with this internal passport losing it in a different state. If you lose your US passport in the UK, you have a chance to get it replaced by going to the US Embassy or consulate. But New York doesn't have any embassies or consulates in California, so good luck getting home from California if your license is stolen.

I've seen variants of this argument made up and down this thread, and I don't think it holds any water. And I say this as someone that thinks the NSA's mass surveillance is morally wrong, unconstitutional, and probably ultimately counterproductive.

I'm willing to stipulate there's an avenue for civil disobedience in which leaking of private information is used as a way to apply pressure to actors within the government and private industry who might be sanctioning the NSA's practices. In other words I could see a course of action that includes widespread, comprehensive attempts to hack and leak the emails of FISA court judges, employees and appointees of US intelligence agencies, executives and board members of companies like AOL, Palantir, and Verizon who are known to have enthusiastically participated in this surveillance, and elected officials in the executive or legislative branches of the government who have supported or perpetuated this spying. The idea being that if the people who keep this system of surveillance grinding onwards experience the personal consequence of having their private info leaked to the public, they might reconsider their actions.

I could see a course of action like this and even agree there's some valid arguments for it, but it's also incredibly dangerous, and would require, I dunno, a great deal of judgement and restraint to not cause huge collateral damage to perfectly innocent people, or to end up ruining the lives of people who were only tangential participants in the system. In other words, this strategy is deeply problematic and dangerous at the best of times.

But let's not kid ourselves that that's even what's going on here. You could try to argue that Hillary Clinton, as the likely next president, is a part of this system, and so she should be on the list of people who are targeted for leaking in the course of civil disobedience. But Trump also supports this surveillance, so he should too. But the thing is, we don't have to guess at the motives of Wikileaks here, they are quite clearly making no such civil disobedience claims [1]. And if you look at whose information is being leaked—Clinton campaign staffers, the DNC—and estimate where these particular actors fall on the scale of culpability in the NSAs spying (hint: well down the list), you start to see that trying to ascribe some higher civic purpose to these particular leaks isn't warranted.

Any argumentation?
That concept of some restrictions has a specialized word for it - government.
Some of those failures happened during the faster, better, cheaper era at NASA, in which taking on more risk was not a deal-breaker. The pendulum has swung back. For more context, see: http://www.thespacereview.com/article/35/1
>If I bought a game on the PS Vita that was also on the PS4, could I play without re-purchasing?

Yes. For example, they used to sell "PS Classics", Playstation games through their store. I bought Symphony of the Night once, and had it on my PSP, PS3, and PS Vita. I'm sure you could get it on the PS4 as well.

Microsoft has a similar thing for their Xbox Live Arcade games on the xbone, but many of those are being made into HD Remasters instead of being ported.
Then build a subway to Hunters Point it that's your logic. Ocean Beach is entrenched in hard line Nimbyism and any sort of high density vision for the area is nothing short of a pipe dream. Paying billions for a subway all the way to ocean beach is very low priority based on where jobs and housing are being built.
Very very true. Cost of compute is already published per cloud provider. For example, on AWS, it's currently first 1M is free. After that it's a million per $.20. At some point of volume depending on your use case there's going to be an inflection of just running your own container or VM. The bigger challenge here is tracking and understanding your usage as it pertains to your application, beyond the compute resources on a per call basis. We're intending on building governance and metering for infrastructure usage as part of our orchestration solution to help shed light on this area.
Cars can serve dense neighborhoods if they are more self contained. If you can architect things so that people mostly walk or bike to everything then the car is only for special trips. In such a world public transit is only necessary for major arterial commuting. Self driving cabs can also transfer people between these arteries to maximize throughout. But milk route busses and subways stopping every other block will be unnecessary.

Getting to this world would require much more communal space and stronger neighborhoods with more of a cultural center of gravity so you didn't have people flitting all over the city in rabdom directions in desperate attempts to find a place to fit in socially and professionally.

Imagine small towns, packed as densely as a big city. An arterial subway like San Francisco's is adequate for that.
