You're not always "fast booting" windows 10. When you restart/reboot, for example, it must read all those files from the disk.

You'll get a performance boost by reading compressed data off the (slow) disk and expanding it in (fast) memory.

This can effectively increase read speeds greatly (reading a 2mb file off disk but it expands to 3mb's for example, that 3rd mb came almost "for free").
I have some encouragement for you: whatever you do, however you do it, don't do it for the praise. Do it because you enjoy doing it.

You are very much a professional in my eyes. In which case I don't see a problem wit the new MacBook. It has four ports each of which supports USB and DisplayPort.

Yes, you need either a new cable, a new flash drive, or an adapter. But don't pretend that makes this laptop totally unsuitable for your use.

"How many pennies would've been needed to insert a simple page forcing you to change user/password combo and to choose a reasonably strong password after first boot ?"

These are written by outsourced developers who don't know anything about security. They wouldn't even think to develop something as simple as that.

You are obviously unaware of how this works, companies would have to hire consultants/penetration testers to assess the product first. Then they would spend even more money making the changes suggested by the consultants. So it would cost a lot of pennies.. actually.

TapClicks | Montreal, QC | competitive pay + stock options

* Intermediate to senior software engineers (back-end (LAMP/PHP), front-end (Angular) and full stack)

We build a unified reporting dashboard mostly targeted at marketing agencies, with connections to 100+ third-party platforms from which we get data through APIs and FTPs in some cases. We also offer a workflow management tool to help make our clients more efficient.

TapClicks is #87 in the Inc 5000 list of fastest-growing private US companies for 2016, and has offices in Silicon Valley and Boston.

Half of the engineering team is in Montreal and mostly works from home, with in-person meetings a few times a month in a coworking space (this will likely increase).

We're looking for people in the Montreal area or willing to move to Montreal. We're open to sponsoring VISAs for great candidates.

Email me at plsoucy@tapclicks.com if interested. Thanks!
Yep, you're quite right. Thanks. Here it is. http://www.npr.org/templates/transcript/transcript.php?story... At 00:20:40

"CLEESE: Yes, I do. And it just showed why he was such a wonderful impersonator. But it showed that in a very strange way because he'd overslept. And his chauffer Bert said, sorry, boys, Peter's overslept. I'll make you coffee. He'll be out in a bit. And we just sat there sipping coffee. And when Peter came out, he was still in his dressing gown or his robe. And he was apologizing for having overslept, but apologizing in a voice that was not his own. And suddenly, he switched into a rather sort of plumy upper-class voice and was talking to us like this as he walked towards us. And at a moment, he was talking a bit like that. And then he went into another voice, sat on the sofa and 10 seconds later, he was talking to us in his own voice. And see, we were the first persons that he'd spoken to that morning. He'd only just been up a few minutes. And we realized when Graham and I - Graham Chapman and I - sort of compared notes afterwards, we realized that Peter Sellers in the morning had to find his own voice.

DAVIES: So he wasn't trying to impress you. It's like somebody tuning in...

CLEESE: No, no...

DAVIES: ...A radio dial and finding the station.

CLEESE: There was a lack of real personality at his core. And the people who were very good impressionists are often rather like that. Similarly, people who write very good parodies but don't write such great original comedy, those people often lack a certain emotional life. They're very clever, their observation is good, but emotion doesn't inform their work in any way. So their work tends to be brilliantly observed, but not very - what's the word? - not very powerful. They don't tend to be terribly funny. They tend to be terribly clever. So this kind of personality type - a person who has a weak sense of their own identity - they're frightfully good at copying other people, whether it's other writers or other performers.

But we realized that Peter literally had to find his own voice in the morning. And to that extent, he was a sort of personality that he'd had to manufacture himself from different parts. And I - one of the Pythons was ever so slightly like that. And we could always tell when he had been spending time with one of his Beatles friends because he would have a slight Liverpool accent for the next 24 hours."

You're right, I was way too absolutist there. Edited.

You still shouldn't cite wikipedia!
> Huh? You can't tell people to "only visit trusted sites". An attacker who is combining browser RCE with OS privilege escalation zero day will have no problem whatsoever coercing victims into visiting whatever site they choose.

An experienced attacker, sure. Targeted campaigns, sure. I'd argue this doesn't apply all that readily to attackers who might just buy an exploit kit for quick mass-mailed wins, though.

It's not terrible advice at all (though perhaps "only sites you know" might be better). It's only marginally effective, but for most users it's absolutely better than nothing at all. When the only advice an 0day disclosure gives is to use the disclosing company's product, it compels people to question the motive for the disclosure especially when, as discussed elsewhere in the thread, literally nothing is achieved by the public disclosure itself.

There are multiple solutions here. They might not all be nearly as effective as "Use Chrome" (paraphrasing), but they're all more effective than merely informing users that there's an 0day for a superset of users and then giving only a subset of those users a mitigation path.

I'm rather surprised we're not in agreement here, actually.
I'm curious why they haven't moved compression to the disk hardware instead of leaving it up to the operating system. Is it because you only get decent compression if you know the context of the whole file, or is it maybe that the hard drive companies wouldn't be able to market a device like that?
Just what I'd expect: Kit Kat, Snickers, Twix, and Reese's Cups are at the top of the list.
Actually the thing that bothers me is not protection per se as I know that someone with enough determinism will crack it.

I am curious how do you handle license revocation or when you detect if someone is using an illegal license.

What about offline users? How to handle licensing?

Retailers (Walmart) require UL for insurance propose.

UL is created for by Insurance companies to gauge the safety of the products.

At the end, the real cause is "The force of Lawyers" is strong for product safety in US. :-)

"The force of the lawyers for IOT" is still weak. :-)

The force of the Jedi (IT, hackers, SW Dev, EFF, OSF) still strong, for now....

The Empire will win when and if enough Jedi (SW Dev) turn to the dark side - team up with the lawyers start suing IOT startup, devices, creators.

No more IOT, raspberryPI, OpenWRT.... only Intel/Qualcomm/MSFT licensed UEFI controlled SecureBoot (Windows CE) devices, Lock down Chromebooks from Google will be allowed.

Feel the power of Dark Side!!!..... :-)
Sure there are bad implementations, but the principle that you can fix this kind of problem is there, just need to give the manufacturers enough incentive to spend the effort to a) implement this process and b) get a compentent security review to ensure it's not easily broken.
I'm surprised that no System76 machines were even considered.
The same reason we got ILOVEYOU?

I know profit motivated attacks have eclipsed entertainment motivated ones, but that's partly been about the work required to get a 'strong' exploit going. Mirai used an easier access vector than Morris to get full ownership of target devices, so it wouldn't be hard for one person to copy and abuse.

I don't think this is going to become the norm - messing up a refrigerator isn't a lucrative goal - but I expect that it'll happen occasionally if systems stay this weak.

You get to pick 'everything'. Your desk, chair, co-working space, schedule. On-site can be 1-2 hours of commute, while you can find a co-working space in 15 mins of walking distance maybe.
Speediness is an curious advantage, because to the contrary I only ever use handwriting when I want to deliberate and think as slowly as I write (doing math, writing short fiction, expanding a dense technical idea to a colleague).

From that perspective cursive is a vice.

NCR | Prague, Czech republic | Full time | Onsite

We are looking for both experienced & junior programmers to help us develop hospitality solutions such as cashier systems or food ordering infrastructure.
The Prague office is fairly large and diverse: there are opportunities for .NET, C++, or Objective-C developers with various interesting twists in each team. For a quick example, some of our .NET developers use Orleans framework for their data crunching jobs.

Our interviews are intensive and quick – you will be given a small coding task and if you solve it, we will invite you to our nice new building near the river to talk with our engineers about your experience.

Feel free to message me at lukas.lansky at ncr.com and I'll respond to any question you ask.
Great write up, I like the simplicity and the common structure that allows for easy comparison. Would be nice in a chart view, but oh well.

The issue I face is that I need XCode and therefore need an Apple product. Currently using a mid 2010 MBP and was hoping for a good upgrade this round but don't have $3000 to spend. So I'll likely be looking at the used market.

I made tasklater.com to keep long-term tasks off my day-to-day list.

Moat | New York City | FULLTIME, INTERNS, VISA | ONSITE

Moat is an adtech startup with products in two core areas:

1) Analytics

Moat Analytics measures content and advertisements for many of the most trafficked websites on the Internet. Most new ad deals require third party measurement and for many of the top brands and websites, Moat's metrics are the go-to. We were one of the first companies to begin measuring ad viewability and we helped make these metrics a standard in the online ad industry. We handle over 19 billion impressions a day and tackle large scalability problems every day.

2) Search

Moat Search tells you who's advertising where online. We give advertisers, publishers and other adtech companies an overview of the entire online ad ecosystem (kind of like the Bloomberg of the ad world). Our customers can see their competitors' ad campaigns, find prospects by seeing the clients of similar companies or see trends in the industry before anyone else. We have a free product, moat.com and a premium product, Moat Pro.

We recently raised $50M and we're still growing very quickly:

Both technical and non-technical openings can be found at moat.com/jobs

The coworking thing depends on how you setup your life outside work. Find many things to do and you'll be OK. But if you work at home and spend the rest of your time at home, that could be bad.

Spending one or two days at a coworking space could still be good to find customers, if you're a freelancer, or just to chat with somebody at the coffee machine.

Was axp even the weakest of the four windows architectures for this task? PPC and MIPS can leave the bit twiddler scratching their heads, too.
Start with the Lamy or Pelikan pens that are mandatory in German schools. They have very stiff nibs which won't break if you apply the same pressure you're used to with a byro/ball point or pencil. You can get them in the US. There are fun ones made of wood with brightly colored caps and ends.

Once you are used to them you can use a more expensive (or cheapo) pen with a softer nib. That well let you write both more clearly and much much faster.

Note that a lot of fancy fountain pens are (IMHO) way too heavy and clunky for everyday writing.

I can take notes with a fountain pen way faster than with a byro and the resulting ones are more legible (I have dreadful handwriting). Also I can write this way for hours without cramping which I can't say about a byro since those require more pressure and use push strokes.

If I don't have a fountain pen I have some Stabilo gel pens that are the least crappy alternative. The fountain pen is pretty well adapted to handwriting. I prefer to type but there are many cases where that is an inferior option.
My (20 seconds) experience: In "selection" mode there is an eye and it moves when my mouse moves, but it does not follow the mouse pointer. For example, I could move my mouse to the right, and the eye will go both left and right, or I could move my mouse up and down and the eye will still go left and right.
