"Can the government read my texts now?"

It is impossible to read properly encrypted data. However, this law enables government to require tech firms to deliberately break cryptography in their products.
I've always had trouble seeing "dark matter" as anything more substantial than modern-day epicycles.
The truth is that authorities the world over have finally caught up with the internet. Look at it this way: they already had pretty extensive powers to monitor telephone calls and correspondence; then the internet came about, and slowly made them blind.

Until a few years ago, they compensated by treating the internet as a free-for-all where they could spy at will; as people fought back and started to demand accountability and limits, they responded with a legislative backlash that is slowly making gains everywhere. The most authoritarian-inclined states (UK, France, Italy) have passed the worst laws, but others are busy following suit.

It's an ideological battle, and they are winning it. One day we will look back at the Chinese firewall as a pioneering effort.

Only I tell me what to do.

When people do come to me with a new task, I ask them for rationale. If they convince me its worth doing, I do it. If they cannot, I convince them its not worth doing. Sometimes, its not worth doing but needs to be done anyways, and in situations like that, I gently persuade them to talk to anyone else. Its generally someone with less conviction than me.

Have I lost jobs before? Yes. Did I find a new job? Yes.
Thank you. I'll check this out.
What.cd reminded me a lot of the abandonware sites.

I may have allegedly been a pirate years ago. And I may have allegedly spent a lot of time at various abandonware sites because I like older games. And those sites seemed great. They had strict rules on what could and could not be uploaded and very much took the approach of "this is an archive". Then GoG launched and made it reasonable to buy those older games in a format that would (usually) work on modern systems.

Great right? We won! Nope. All four of the sites I used to (allegedly) frequent had responses ranging from "They aren't the creators so we are still going to let you upload these files" to "Some of our uploads are in iso format so it is still required". Hell, one even allowed people to upload the gog installers.

I am mostly good with archive.org (I have some reservations but feel them to be a net good), but my general experience is that most "archive" sites tend to just be pirates who think they understand the legal system.
I've posted this on my facebook and I immediately got 3 people telling me that they don't have anything to hide and I'm being paranoid. They are all British.

I really think that UK suffers because it hasn't gone through a restrictive communist government that had extended surveillance and censorship - so that now, in 2016, people don't know how to recognize signs of what's coming.
All these points are very true; chains like these are unfortunately based on a root of implicit trust.

I make some counter-arguments:

Secure boot forms the trust basis that the device is definitively running the code you put on it without modification, so is arguably the most security-sensitive aspect of the system, in some ways more critically so than the kernel, network-facing daemons, etc. It is at least as important as those components.

I'm confident a publicly-auditable open-source secure boot implementation would attract fairly reasonable academic interest from the security field and be hacked on (from theoretical design down to implementational edge cases) by the community until it was very very good.

That would help avoid this sort of thing - http://www.cnx-software.com/2016/10/06/hacking-arm-trustzone... - which is currently only an issue because vendor engineering teams are not perfect and there's no widespread collaboration. (There is, of course, also the likely truth that there are similar "vulnerabilities" in all commercial secure boot implementations. Think TSA007.)

The one issue I will acknowledge is that if such a reference design existed and was widely implemented, it would be a very good question as to which manufacturers had "accidents" in the manufacturing process near the secure-boot areas of the chips.

If I understand correctly, the other very major issue (which is kind of really ironic considering what I've just said) is that you have to sign NDAs to understand how the implementation works, and AFAIK even to just use it. So I (a random tinkerer) can't configure a "really trustworthily secure" Linux system, only a major manufacturer/system integrator/etc can. I understand this situation but from the standpoint of paranoid individual security it's crazy - security by obscurity, anyone?

If it is possible for me to play with OTP on iMX from a hobbyist perspective without shelling out for some NDA'd SDK, I'm tentatively interested for what it's worth.
Is that because learning the kana helps? Or because being willing to learn to kana upfront is correlated with being willing to put effort into learning pronunciation?

> LEDs started out expensive, not very bright, and mostly red. Migrated to different colors, I think blue was the most expensive.

I love that you can date a lot of electronics by the colour of the LEDs (anyone still own an alarm clock with a red display?). As soon as a new colour was possible/cheap enough the last 'hot' colour was dropped quick-smart.
No, nothing has happened. 100,000 signatures means it's considered for debate, not guaranteed. The response is inevitably:

"We have considered debating this and decided actually we don't fancy it. Keep signing the petitions though, they definitely make a difference and don't think about taking direct action of any form."
In some cases ("pasty tax" and stuff like that), popular petitions added pressure to the pile that eventually forced policy U-turns. On their own they are pretty useless.

Probably a more interesting development is secure memory (Intel SGX, AMD SME/SEV), because that has the potential to make virtualisation / cloud offerings far more secure - it effectively allows a VM to enforce that the hyper-visor / service provider cannot read it's memory. Effectively barring the SP from being a few commands away from root on every hosted system.
When Expertise Trumps Execution
I don't get some of the comments here.

I'm not a US citizen nor an IBMer, so this interests me only as an outsider. While precious little will change with an 'open letter' like this, since when has having an opinion, resigning due to principles or "saying something" a bad thing?

The way I read it was a person who took a stand and announced it. Nothing more. Why are the commenters here inferring entitlement, immaturity or anything besides an opinion.

In 1930, people would have had living memory of the disaster of the Great War ( WWI ). That puts democracy in the role of a nearly-untried but apparently improved solution.

This looks nice: a Javascript framework for expressing _concepts_ that compiles down to vanilla JS. It looks like it ships a lot less code to the user. From the project's first [blog post](https://svelte.technology/blog/frameworks-without-the-framew...):

> The Svelte implementation of TodoMVC weighs 3.6kb zipped. For comparison, React plus ReactDOM without any app code weighs about 45kb zipped. It takes about 10x as long for the browser just to evaluate React as it does for Svelte to be up and running with an interactive TodoMVC.
So for lack of a better word, I see this as galloping narcissism. It's a "those people" way of thinking.

Outside of specialist use I really don't think they need to get better now. I have a promotional cheapie LED torch, maybe $3-5 worth, that beats any of the Maglights I've ever had. The little camping lantern I have is ridiculously good. The decent torch is so unbelievably bright that torch doesn't really cover it any more. Sure it uses batteries at top output.

Tungsten is for oven lamps, specialist use and little else.

Now I'd like to be able to buy 10 year life household bulbs that last and preserve something resembling a colour temp. A set of LED daylight bulbs I bought 2 years ago are down to 1/2-2/3 original brightness and all except one are spread around the "warm white" territory.

By 10k hours they'll be down to nightlights. Realistically they'll have been replaced long before.

Half the desk lights on Amazon, including expensive brands like Luxo, are using LED to mean fixed "expensive manufacturer replacement part", rather than bulb.

I'm hoping for a continuation in solar and a breakthrough in batteries so we can tip away from fossil at similar rate.

seems to me that when the original generation of organs, bones, and other structure is occurring, there is a chemical soup of proteins/hormones/etc that provides the right environment for a whole host of gene expressions not seen after the generation is done and the organism is more or less fully formed. recreating that environment seems challenging. it's like getting back to bios after you already booted the OS.

The fact that it's meaningless to you doesn't mean it doesn't have any meaning :)

Your "hideously complicated type theory" is many peoples' "hideously horrible paren-based syntax" - i.e. Lisp. So, how many people don't learn Lisp only because of its syntax? I'd say a lot.

Many of the concepts make sense when having an explicit type system, so if you want types you may want to learn them.

Whether it actually wants to work or not is another thing.

This. Current generation laptops are finally fast enough to be my primary developer experience without feeling like I'm sacrificing performance. I'm still sacrificing screen real estate and biomechanical efficiency with the crappy keyboards, but the compute is finally there.
Maybe much better performance than HBase?
When I was working on a recommender for television shows, I ran SVD on a large User/Item matrix to create a low rank approximation, essentially reducing thousands of user features (TV show preferences) to user vectors representing twenty or thirty abstract "features". Then I looked at the actual item preferences of users who expressed each feature at the greatest and least magnitude. The features, in some cases, mapped to recognizable constructs. There were distinct masculine and feminine features, several obvious Hispanic / Latino elements, and strong liberal versus conservative indicators. Others were less explainable using common labels.

It struck me at the time that the qualities that were expressed most strongly were the ones that ended up having names in our language. But there were others for which I would say to myself, there is something about this group (e.g. those with the greatest expressed value of F124) that I recognize, but can't quite put my finger on.

Of course, I was looking at people through a keyhole, their TV viewing preferences being the only information I had.

Also, I noticed that these "came into focus" most clearly at a certain level of compression (rank).

I am genuinely curious. Why exactly do you think doing this was a terrible idea.

Here's a person who didn't agree with the stand the ceo of her company took. Resigned because she felt morally responsible and announced it because she thought it was the right thing to do. Irrespective of content, that shows principles, integrity, courage and maturity. So again what exactly should an "adult" have told her?

Yeah. My point exactly.
I didn't know Shami Chakrabarti abstained. That's totally mad. If there's one thing I would have thought we could rely on her for it was to vote against things like this.

The Labour party have been completely neutered. The membership and the unions clearly want them to take a much more radical left wing approach but the party establishment still want them to be the party Blair built and it's caused this weird stalemate. I think Blair would have backed this bill.

An interesting point is that the bill has exceptions for journalists. I suspect that has encouraged the media to keep pretty quiet about it.
The issue isn't the capabilities of Make. The issue is that those incremental constructions are largely a case of implementing your own version of CMake (yay) or Autoconf (boo). And I guess scons sort of counts too.

Sometimes that is a good thing (strange build platforms). Sometimes that is a huge waste of time (most of the time).
Looking forward to Chris Allen (@bitemyapp) opining on this over on lobsters.
Actually Linux is a very poor choice when a product depends on out of tree binary blobs to operate. The lack of stable driver ABIs and APIs are a real problem for long term maintenance. I'm really surprised that the BSDs aren't a much bigger player in the embedded space.
Great comment. It reminded me of the various technologies that have matured over the last 10-20 years which at the time were exciting but are now standard fare: Bright energy-efficient LED lighting, touch screen phones, optical image stabilisation, SSD's, large LCD & OLED display panels, fast internet, wireless networks. Now intelligent sous vide circulators the size of handheld blenders are cheap enough for the average person to try it out, electric cars are desirable, full-frame and medium format mirrorless cameras are becoming more and more affordable, phase-detection is expected in phone camera sensors...I could go on but when you stand back and look at the body of advancement from the last 10 years you'd need to be crazy to be underwhelmed. We've seen rockets lands on drone barges in rough seas.
> There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights.

The problem is that you can justify almost any conflict as ultimately meeting these criteria. If you let someone else become too powerful isn't that a de facto threat to your home? If you don't defend rights abroad, don't you threaten the extinction of rights at home?

That's why we do rely on the morality of our leaders. Which seems to be ropey at best.

Why analyse this from the perspective of IBM? Why not the poster?

This is excellent, I'm going to use this to separate production from test environments using separate accounts.

Using VPCs, security groups, IAMs, tags, etc. is great, but those are all constructs you have to take care to implement correctly yourself within your deploy scripts. One slip-up and you could accidentally expose environments to each other, or worse make a mistake that deletes or reconfigures resources in an environment you didn't intend to. Or an errant process in a test environment could unexpectedly gobble up too many resources, resulting in production being throttled.

So separate accounts is the safest isolation approach, but historically there have been drawbacks (this blog post discusses some[1]), like billing is more expensive (due how AWS charges for usage and you won't be sharing reserved instances anymore) and I wasn't sure how to handle things that need to be cross-environment, like Route53 (DNS). Looking forward to trying this out!

A side note about that website. Thin and Extra-Thin fonts have no place in web design (there are some exceptions in huge title text). They are an unnecessary burden for people with limited eyesight and elderly people[1]. Even for me, on my 1366x768 screen (which is still the single most common resolution for cheap notebooks, dear HiDPI web designers[2]), the bullet text is hardly readable, the copyright line is completely unreadable. This effect is made even worse by choosing inadequate contrasts[3]. One can use subtle colors for increased contrast.[4]

"Wealthy" isn't a coherent adjective. People who move up the corporate food chain are not the smart people, it's the people who adapt to the expected mood affiliation of their industry, develop the expected after-hours activities and buy the right clothing.

Entrepreneurs, bluntly, get lucky.

No, income inequality has much more to do with financialization, and I've so far traced the roots of that back to the Potsdam Conference, at least for the US. And first the US, then the world.

It's fairly unscientific, but because I have access to a person with a specialty in population dynamics, my theory about "why inequality" is that previous efforts to curb older, milder forms of inequality usually backfire. Current wealth inequality results from gamifying efforts to "fix" inequality.

It "feels" to me like the Pareto distribution just is, and all attempts to improve on it are in vain.

Those are not mutually exclusive. If you want to actually claim that Chris McKinstry was only insane, and his project without any scientific merit, you should make the case for it. Brushing projects away, only because the conceiver of them was mentally ill, is not nice at all.
