There doesn't seem to be a technical definition of an 'Internet Connection Record', but from the factsheet[1], they:

"are records of the internet services that have been accessed by a device. They would include, for example, a record of the fact that a smartphone had accessed a particular social media website at a particular time."

and:

"ICRs do not provide a full internet browsing history. The ICRs do not reveal every web page that a person
visited or any action carried out on that web page."

How this will work in practice is anyones guess at the moment - every time I think of something short of logging every packet header sent/received in the UK (which leads to a staggering amount of data needing to be logged), I think of things that would slip though (and therefore wouldn't fulfil the first statement)...

I'm not sure he's suggesting everyone should only ever use Chrome, but rather heading off "it doesn't work on my system!" complaints that are common with these tutorials. He goes into painstaking detail on exactly which version of Rails, exactly which version of Ruby, and exactly what gems you need to use to make sure the learner is using the same environment as the teacher. Suggesting that everyone use the same browser goes hand in hand with this. If you're a beginner and you run into compatibility issues with your browser, you might be turned off and quit. Making sure everything is the same while you're learning is really just good practice.

Nice, I love Vue.js it is light weight yet fulfill 90% of the needs of a large SPA without a third party language, some bureaucratic dependency injection and without getting in the developer's way by mandating this or that build tool. But competition is good so I'm glad there is a front end framework for everyone out there.

Yes, that's a step towards it. But at least the person has to be a "suspect" in another crime (however low the bar for that is) and an explicit demand has to be made for the key. Not that it does a lot of good since anybody can become a suspect and the demand for the key is retrospective to when you weren't a suspect.
This is possible with the Content Security Policy header, including automated reports from the browsers when things are blocked. It's hard to implement however since a whitelist of allowed domains can grow very, very large for the average site.

Nah it's not the same thing. Client Authenticated TLS provides a mutually authenticated channel. Mutually authenticated channels cannot be man-in-the-middled. The auth is happening at the transport layer.

A login through a QR code (basically a token) is just normal TLS with the same MiTM risk. Its just an application layer login.

> Rather, smart criminals don't fit our mental image of "criminals", which makes it harder to target laws against it

I would argue that it has nothing to do with the laws; they're breaking the same laws as everybody else. It's that our justice system, at least in the US, incentivizes law enforcement to focus on easier prey. Smart criminals will probably defend themselves in court and be more likely to be privy to the tricks that police use. It's much easier for them to just arrest a poor person and threaten to throw them in jail for months behind bail that they can't afford unless they plead guilty to something they obviously didn't do. Most poor people will just take the plea, because they can't afford to miss work and lose their job while they wait for their day in court. NYPD in particular are notorious for this.

JSX is not JavaScript. If its not in a spec that is ever going to be implemented by a JS runtime, like a browser or Node.js, then it's not JavaScript. It's a superset of JavaScript.

If you admit that JSX is a superset of JS then the downsides become readily apparent. Many will still choose JSX and there's nothing wrong with that, but the argument isn't "why would I use X when Y is better".

Feedback on startup idea
Hey guys,

I have an idea for a business, would appreciate some feedback :D

Basically I'm thinking about a one-stop shop for everything you want for your online shop, but focused on 3rd party apps. To give some examples:
- you want to send newsletter, but you don't know what's the best email client for you
- you want to use a chat on your website, but you don't know what's the best one for you and you don't have the manpower to implement it
- you want to use a conversion rate optimization platform but again you don't know which one
- the list can go on like this

Basically I can put up a team that has a lot of experience with a lot of different tools. You, as an online shop owner (small to medium), don't know everything there is out there or maybe most of those apps are not for you - for example if you have 50 visitors per day maybe it's not worth paying for a chat app, or if you have 200 emails maybe you're not ready yet to send newsletters).

So the idea would be a business that would offer consultation regarding what's better for your shop (we can also do analysis to see what you have to improve) + manpower to use the tools and implement them. So we can replace part of your marketing team and you don't need devs, we have our own.

Hope everything is clear :)

Looking forward to hearing your feedback.

Thanks guys.

GL is one area where just using a high level library is not going to help you master it. If you intend to use it as a black box, well you can use anything that wraps GL in your domain of choice (games, simulation etc).

However, what I have seen is that knowing the low level GL stuff is really important when you get stuck and have to debug your way out. Write your own shaders etc. Most recently I figured my way out of a tricky skeletal animation problem only because I knew the low level details as well.

My recommendation: Work through this book: [1]

I even wrote a scene graph in CL while working through this book and after learning SceneKit(iOS, macOS 3d framework). So I am backing up what I am suggesting:[2]

If you want to be in the graphics field in the long run, better know the low level stuff. This is just my 2$ thought. YMMV. And as @blister suggests, he is right that you need to pick the graphics domain as it is niche as compared to Web programming and the pay will be on the lesser side comparatively, especially if you are starting off.

My email is in my profile, feel free to reach out if you need any help from me in learning GL.

Shrink your drummer with Mooer's mini drum machine pedal
We've all known for quite some time that election system needs improvement, what's so different this time? Each and every election the losing side brings up the tampering bit, well yes if people cared enough, we should begin processes to make sure tampering election votes is extremely difficult to impossible. And maybe this is the beginning of real discussion, only problem is who will lead the effort, is this guy just another person with a megaphone?

Also to say paper ballots cannot be tampered seems silly . Unless we know the exact procedure and check points in which they are handled, how they are stored and secured even after the win for case of recount (especially if tampering happens afterward and recount is the plan to which the coin lands on the other side). Hell maybe even down to the specific type of paper a ballot is printed with. And I like what someone else said, scan them in as well... have machine and human come to the same total.

I expected the guy to have proof considering the hype around this, but I do appreciate he said it is unlikely the election was hacked...as if just to quiet those twitter echo chambers.

How do you get marijuana from haash? I know the word "hash" in marijuana terms, but I associate the word more with hashing a password (or maybe hash browns) than with drugs.
Agreed and it was fast at runtime as well, not far off the same speed as C++ for a lot of things, I remember using it for some pretty performance intensive stuff and you could easily drop to assembly if needed.

It was a fantastic development environment even by modern standards but for its time it was well ahead of the curve.

just trying to understand the change in figures - I don't have a horse in this race and can certainly accept your reasoning. I don't know much about how these counts work.

It will be interesting if Apple went after Cellebrite under the DMCA anti-circumvention clauses. I would laugh if their product became illegal in the United States.
Silicone Valley companies wield too much power when it comes to these sorts of things. This is just another example of this, if they don't self regulate there will be laws that regulate them.

Google was banning people's email and their entire digital life because of buying multiple pixel phones. This is an unrelated issue but they took it upon themselves to just use their unlimited power to screw people. It's like your electricity company shutting off your heat because you didn't pay for some stove, if they sold both things.

These companies would so themseves a lot of justice by setting up a this party group that manages hear abuses and is impartial.

Note that Google hasn't committed to not be litigious with most of it's good patents. They've signed their patent pledge for a very limited scope of patents which looks good for PR purposes.

Bear in mind, patent extortion tends to look good as a business model once your main revenue source is starting to wane. So while Google may be behaving with patents today, they've been amassing a pretty large library... and the advertising market is expected to start going downhill fast.

Google has pledged not to abuse 245 patents: http://www.google.com/patents/opnpledge/patents/

It's hard to get an accurate number on how many patents Google owns (Google's search results are unhelpful, I'm sure they know, but they aren't sharing), but considering they picked up 17,000 from the Motorola acquisition alone, we can assume safely that Google is reserving the right to be a patent troll.

...hang on a minute. AFAICT, that's another 0x10c spinoff.

If you don't know, 0x10c is a (semi-famously) aborted game project by Notch, which was was known for its 8-bit DCPU computer, which would control your spaceship. Techcompliant seems to be one of several continuations of the concept.

I'm pretty sure Project Trillek is the most active continuation project, but this also seems worth looking at.

Until they're done, though, you can pay TIS-100, or backdate your mincraft to 1.2.5 and install RedPower2. Or you can wait for RedPower3, the game of that mod, which goes in a similar direction.

Unfortunately, some Telegram usability comes from a reduction in security. Things like seamlessly going, with full chat-history, between multiple devices is a bit tricky when your protocol only permits one person to receive a message once, rather than storing the messages unencrypted on the server like Telegram does.

One "secure" approach would be that of the older Skype clients, where chat history synced between the logged in clients of a user. However, that was a horrible user experience, made worse by bad notification management.

So while Signal can get better, you will probably always have to decide between usability and security, which is most likely the very reason that "normal" people always end up with the less secure solution, which in turn renders the secure solution even less usable with its smaller userbase.

Early economics was really political economics and most early economist where political thinkers and philosophers.

A couple of points:
1. negative externalities make necessary laws and regulations if you want an efficient market.
2. Keynesian economics (presumably what you referring to) has nothing to do with restricting free trade, but deals with the boom-bust cycle and how a government can manage it.

It's stuff like this that's going to bring more regulation to the Internet. The game industry purposefully created an independent group to regulate their businesses to avoid government regulation that was imminent. I agree that Internet companies need to do the same. No one wants regulation, but it's going to happen one way or the other. Either we do it ourselves on our own terms (like the ESRB) or the government does it on their terms (like HIPAA).
That would be great! It's definitely on our roadmap for Q1-2 2017 :)

It goes without saying - don't make this easy for them(or anyone). Use a strong alphanumeric password on your mobile devices. It's annoying and inconvenient until it saves your ass - there is still no "fast" way to crack a password like "My 42nd spaceship had 4 hearts of gold.", but it's not that difficult for your brain to remember.

Fingerprint unlock can save you some of the PITA of typing it - just be sure you power off your device when you have even the slightest chance of encountering an actor that could seize your mobile device - that way the passphrase will be required.
