>>> We get security [for phones] because I get a new one every 18 months. Your DVR lasts for five years, your car for 10, your refrigerator for 25. I’m going to replace my thermostat approximately never. So the market really can’t fix this.

Yes it can. It is fixing the problem as we speak. I, a security aware person, would never buy a connected thermostat. I'll buy the 5$ model that does the job I want perfectly. And my connected DVR lies behind some decent protections on my local network. Should it start participating in a dos attack or talking to those it shouldn't, I'll notice and replace it with a better system. The same is true of laptops, phones and cars. Once people are burnt a couple times they will opt for the safer models. Government could perhaps accelerate this process by increasing manufacturer liability (lol, not for the next 4/8 years) or by mandating that unmaintained products self-brick (again, lol). But the market will react nevertheless.

> Yeah, the mainstream networks are not perfect. But they're not in the same league as Brietbart

You're right. MSM is worse because it openly works with the authority sector as an unofficial department of the executive branch.

Fake news also means the intentional timing of pieces, intentional coverage allocation, and intentional nonmentions of inconveinent facts in my book.
What do you mean by "billed immediately?"

$5,000 is maybe a week of work. I'm generally not billing more than once a week.
I agree with your sentiment, though you may want to change your tone to make it more appropriate for HN.

I really do fear that this "fake news" scare will lead to widespread censorship. There is no scientific or objective standard for determining "truth" in news, especially when most "news" now is really opinion packaged as fact.

And now we have Facebook introducing censorship tools to allow them to re-enter the Chinese market, but it seems that the tools will be used in the US as well based on Zuckerberg's latest statements about cracking down on unharmonious news stories.
As a newt.
> And if you're very unlucky everyone will join you.

That last line was very poignant.
The problem is that once you make it free (or underpriced relative to replacement cost) people find new uses for the water, and your previous assumptions about how much people need, become huge underestimates.

Without those prices, you're back in the commissars dilemma of either a) restricting people to a one-size-fits-all amount or b) maintaining a master list of acceptable uses, either of which have absurd consequences.

There's a similar fallacy in thinking that energy efficiency tech by itself is enough to reduce fossil fuel usage. In reality, people just keep finding

(It would be more correct to say that improved energy efficiency will make the required e.g. carbon taxes less painful to implement.)
I would agree. PNacl is one of those technologies that failed because it died, not because it was bad. People felt it needed to be killed and it was killed, or abandoned.

There is criticism, such as that it only solved one part of the puzzle of getting real apps running on the web browser, but it's not like anything else came closer.
See https://github.com/mobxjs/mobx/issues/681#issuecomment-26234... (that thread started only yesterday, so it isn't very long yet), but yes, MobX is in use in large complex production apps for a long time.

The hard part would be classifying the posts, the rest would be trivial. What would be a good approach?
Openings for a consultant usually mean something more like "management consultant" rather than technical consultant.

Usually as a technical consultant you find people who want to build something and then guide them through the process. It can be semi-challenging to find your first client for this sort of project because these clients don't know what they're looking for and often don't know how much they don't know.

Once you have your first successful client like this though, others will find you fast.
I'm surprised the value in transparency isn't obvious. I'll think more about how to convey my thoughts on it.
That's how a lot of great projects got started.
no USBAudio? Again? So much for open source
Foreign Policy and his fake news.
But you're doing it again. You're bringing emotion and "us vs them" and "good guys vs bad guys" to what ought to be (as much as possible) an objective analysis of facts.
Long time ago, they used to also publish a bootable ISO of Darwin + all of those OSS packages.

They did publish an updated Darwin core / kernel a few releases back, but it seems to be closed again.

Too bad, I think someone with some determination could have gotten am hypervisor based container tech running on this. Of course the test would not run, but APIs shims could have made whole software compile (but not link). This in itself would have been very useful for a lot of people. Being able to compile in a container then link in the "real" macOS could also have been implemented, making this much more useful.
Follow the money.
It would be awesome to be able to see the generated vimrc without downloading it. We in fact can see them easily in https://github.com/avelino/vim-bootstrap/blob/master/vim_tem...
I wonder why they still write "OS X". Intentional or just due to somebody's lack of attention to detail?

Yeah it feels very much like that to me too. Taking that a step further, it wouldn't surprise me if it were orchestrated by the people that will be at the helm on this sort of shit if it's implemented.

When we have TLA's subverting security, megacorps sucking up information and leaving it open to attack, manufacturers baking in backdoors etc... I would run an absolute mile from being a developer in this new world.

Here's what I just emailed to a user who asked about the same thing:

I think people can pretty well figure out what the story is from the linked page and the HN comments. No?

There's a downside to spelling things out completely—it gets people out of the habit of doing their own work to figure things out. Admittedly it can sometimes be helpful for getting a story attention in the first place, but once it's on the front page, there's nearly always a good reason for that, and it's good to expect readers to have to dig a little sometimes to find it.

Edit: There's another aspect too. When a title uses language that isn't from the article itself, it typically departs from the article in ways that subtly reframe it into something it isn't. (This is also the case with many media pieces whose headlines are not written by their authors.) For example, the courtroom tone of the submitted title frames this story as a grave breach of trust and leaves out the (I'll be generous) equally important aspect that this is a Reddit shitshow and nothing about it can be taken completely seriously.

This is an important effect to avoid, and sticking to language from the article itself is the way to avoid it.
To be fair - they didn't make that claim, just left it up to you to assume the dichotomy.

It can be (and arguably is) true that "proprietary software is inherently insecure" - without requiring an opposite statement like "open source software is inherently secure" to also hold. (The wording in context _does_ strongly suggest that was the implied premise of the implied premise tho.)
Fingerprint readers seem to solve that problem. Booting the phone requires the secure password, but after that a fingerprint will suffice until the phone is powered off or left locked for 24 hours.
Heh emacs-22.1.

Wonder where that's used. Scripting in elisp?
I've been wondering about exactly that - would the perception of this be so negative if spez had inserted javascript to rewrite the messages on that subreddit instead?
Reddit can no longer be sourced by any media outlet because of this. How can any comment be valid on Reddit anymore?

Reddit's credibility is gone forever. No going back.
Thanks for the reply. What is ideal saving range for 31 years old?

I am not a US citizen. I changed job three times without significant raise. I was in Bay Area until Apr-2016 for 1.5 years making $120k a year. Before that, I was making $80k. I started first job on $65k.
Could ISP be responsible for attacks coming from some of their infected users? Shutting down someone's internet for 'abusive use' would be a good incentive of getting incriminating devices out of the market.

The analogy to shouting "fire" isn't appropriate. There is a public interest balance when it comes to speech. The more public the interest, the more liberty you can take with the truth. Falsely shouting "fire" involves no public interest. All it does is harm. But saying the president is a Lizard-person from Mars ... that actually involves something of great public interest; the honesty of a politician. No court will step into that question. No court will trample on someone's right to say any manner of untruths about a politician.

The flip side to this is speech about non-public persons. You can call the president a lizard, but say the same about his kids and you expose yourself to slander liability. False news about non-public persons is already regulated.

Freedom of speech is about the government not locking you up. Private lawsuits are a totally different paradigm.
It's being cultivated solely to establish a form of control that isn't formal government censorship. The establishment has been looking for a good way to censor the Web and more broadly the Internet, almost since it took off in popularity. The direct censorship route has always been practically impossible in the US, so getting the big platforms - the social networks especially - to get in line under the guise of "fake news" (or hate speech with a constantly shifting definition) is an ideal method to destroy freedom of speech online. Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, LinkedIn, Google are all on-board. It's likely that nothing can turn it back now, those platforms will get increasingly aggressive in their restrictions on the speech they deem acceptable (only that which agrees with their world-view or ideologies). The next question is what they'll do to stop the alternative platforms that will be created in response to the 'censorship.'
This may be an unusual question, but why?
It's not like regulating devices is unprecedented. New devices already have to be approved by the FCC before being sold in the U.S. Suppose that the FCC also checked that Internet-capable devices are safe to be connected to the Internet? This would have global impact because most companies want to sell their devices in the U.S. (And even more so if other countries with big markets cooperated with similar standards.)

Another possible model would be something like having Underwriters Laboratories and other independent organizations check the devices.

This is never going to be perfect, but it doesn't need to be. The goal is to make sure that devices people buy at the store are reasonably secure. In previous eras, the goal of new regulation was to make sure that you can still listen to the radio and watch TV, and that people don't often get electrocuted by their appliances. By and large it seems to have worked.

Thanks for acknowledging it :)

When pedantry serves as a roadblock to honest, charitable discussion, I agree :) I've written plenty of comments only to not-submit them, and deleted others right after posting. I've really tried to give people the benefit of the doubt, ignore small jibes if I can, and try to understand where people I may not agree with are coming from. After all, if I can't understand them, I'm not sure I can ask them to understand me. It's a work in progress. :)

PS: And actually, given their other follow-up comment,

I'm not sure if the charitable interpretation was the correct one. Even so, assuming malice rarely moves things forward.
It would also be perfectly reasonable to bulk ban anyone suggesting the reddit ceo is a pedophile, plus any subreddit that tolerated it. Using reddit does not give you the right to abuse people that way.

What he did -- which I can't really tell, because something about pizzagate, and the whole thing is just too dumb to care about -- was probably dumb, but whatever.
MSM has been openly doing this for two decades now. They poisoned their own well which why they are getting ready to run to the government to craft legislation to protect themselves after such a horrendously off-the-mark Clinton obsession.
The Iraq war weapons of mass destruction fabrication was and is far more damaging than anything Breitbart et al could ever hope to conjure up and the MSM were 100% complicit. It was clear, at the time, to anyone with even the remotest capability for critical thought that the whole thing was a fabrication in order to have a pre-tense for an illegal invasion and war yet they each and every one of the major publishers went along with it.
Yeah, my guess is they're playing with the speed constantly to keep things in sync.
It seems like it's only released on FB, which is a shame because even with their "HD" option on, I feel like I'm being transported back to YouTube circa 2008. Holy crud is the quality awful on FB videos, really undermines the work they did here.
From what I know, the major blockers are battery life and unit cost. The battery life is decent (or so I read), but it's not near the "walking around" level.

Display area is also important, but that's a quality thing; there's just straight up things you can't do without enough battery life and given too much cost.

It was the default editor of the Apple (NeXT) Darwin UNIX distribution. Given how much effort they have put in this list in the last 15 years, I guess it just wasn't curated much unless legal said to do so.
I thought the exact same thing. It's trivially simple to run custom kernels. Further, with currentish versions of OSX, you don't even need VMware/VB. The built-in hypervisor works good enough without crash prone kexts like in the alternative in my experience.

Not sure if you read the rest of the article, but it didn't do much to instill technical competence after that point either.
> All told, you'd have to cite about 100,000,000 civilian gun deaths to catch up with the records set by modern governments who weren't as afraid of their citizens and subjects as they should have been.

Yep, the thing that's going to scare the United States government out of killing its citizens is them armed with arsenals of M-16's against their… F-22s, B-52s, carrier groups, and tanks.

My goodness, this is an absolutely absurd argument, made more absurd by the lack of realization of how absurd it is. That it keeps being harped on by gun control opponents does their argument no favors. The government will not be afraid of guns should they come after their citizenry. The police literally have tanks. The only thing guns do is make one less afraid of one's government if one fails to comprehend the absolutely beastly military power that it can bring to bear against one were it to decide to do so.

In fact, the only thing protecting one from the government deciding to crush one with a single well-placed smart bomb is… Well, it turns out it's permeating the culture with “It can't happen here”, to the point where the military itself believes that such a thing happening here would be utterly unacceptable. Only when the system itself culturally considers it verboten is there any hope of the immense military might the government possesses not being turned against its citizens. Barring that, the guns will be a fun thing for the military to play with after a sniper takes a rebel's head off.

Your assertion (in this particular comment, not the original one) is, gun rights will deter the government from attacking its citizens. To support that, citing books that show the government attacking its citizens is insufficient. Present a book that shows that a government was prevented from attacking its citizens because they were armed. Then perhaps the posited argument can be considered more than a delectable fiction to make one feel in control.

(Gun control, by the way, is tangential to the question of how absurd this particular argument is. Maybe it's a good idea, maybe it's a bad idea, but it's certainly not a bad idea because the government is afraid of folks with guns.)

Spill an entire cup of boiling water in your lap while sitting in the passengers seat of a car while wearing cotton sweatpants and find out.

Don't actually do this, you'll likely end up with serious disfiguring injuries such as:

>Liebeck was taken to the hospital, where it was determined that she had suffered third-degree burns on six percent of her skin and lesser burns over sixteen percent.[11] She remained in the hospital for eight days while she underwent skin grafting. During this period, Liebeck lost 20 pounds (9 kg, nearly 20% of her body weight), reducing her to 83 pounds (38 kg). After the hospital stay, Liebeck needed care for 3 weeks, provided by her daughter.[12] Liebeck suffered permanent disfigurement after the incident and was partially disabled for two years.[13][14]

Basically very hot water is dangerous and it's much easier to get a serious injury from it than you'd think.

Reddit should let everything organically perform, and remove things that are against the law. Not things that are against their left-leaning political agenda.

Aaron Swartz would not like Reddit in it's current shape.
I don't know, do they have to run on the same network as everything else?

Maybe a first step is just to have an address range for these demonic things, which isn't publicly routable (unless you deliberating NAT it). The "home network" range (steal back some of that loopback space!).
There's a diagram about halfway through that illustrates how this works. I miunderstood the article at first and was wondering why you wouldn't just say that there are two species, but the diagram sorted me out.

Previous devs were doing expensive things whenever we received webhooks. This meant we DoS'd ourselves every time a sizable amount of webhooks came our way.

My guess is they are implying that people here would not be stoked if a company based in a country whose government demands widespread censorship of some topics and criticisms of the same government, purchased a company that is/was to some extent a force for free speech.

No IO80211Controller (the bane of all Hackintosh developers...) either, but not surprising since Apple are probably only open-sourcing code that they are legally obligated to by license, or for which they feel the release of "doesn't negatively affect their core philosophy and business model", to use a vague yet suitable phrase that I've heard of as justification for other source releases.
