Going on a bit of a tangent:

Most of the time these companies just don't care.

If you don't mind getting your hands dirty, then have a look at some vendor kernel trees. For example, a $300AUD router released last year is running 2.6.34brcm - http://www.tp-link.com.au/download/Archer-D9.html#GPL-Code

The 802.11AC card in that router will likely never have open source drivers. I'm pretty sure the routing engine is closed source too, although with 2x Cortex A9 chips I would have thought you could get away with doing it in software.
Entertainingly, I find that many of the "lefties" I know read widely on all areas of the spectrum, and those of a certain timbre only read their bubble.

You'd never know that by the posturing on the part of those gentle persons of the bubble, but you're definitely not one of those, are you?
Bouncers don't typically work for multiple clubs, you can't hack into their brains, they have imperfect memory, etc

This is like asking, what's wrong with state owned security cameras on the streets? It's digitizing what bystanders have been doing for centuries.
2009 and (allegedly) 2017 are nothing like 2001. Within one week, my office building (in Seattle) went from being completely full of startups to 50% occupancy. I distinctly remember one day walking around and seeing multiple people in their offices crying with their heads in their hands. The whole market basically disappeared overnight. I had only been working for a year at that point, so I was completely screwed. It was 3 years before I could get an entry level job in the industry again (at 2/3 of my previous salary). Anyway, what's this about a crash? I've been job hunting and every company I've interviewed with says they are having difficulty finding people.
Inside Development Before the Fact
I'm not a fan of barbarism or prison in general, but actually I think that using your position at the apex of one of the world's leading banks to squeeze money out of people at the bottom of the pyramid* qualifies as criminality.

* Whether you consider the consumers or the low-level tellers who set up millions of shadow accounts to meet otherwise impossible performance goals to be the bottom layer, I think the point stands either way.

I'm perplexed by your use of the word 'hardened.' Perhaps you meant 'violent' but there are plenty of people in prison who had a clean record until they committed a violent crime of passion or suchlike, and likewise there are plenty of criminals whose criminality is unquestioned but who never engaged in any violent activity. Again you probably didn't intend this, but I can't help feeling that you're unconsciously making a class distinction between stereotypical blue collar heavies who help themselves or carry out break-ins, vs the sort of nice socially acceptable behavior of sitting at a desk signing corporate documents which will affect thousands or millions of people that the executive has never met and knows nothing about.

Look, I'm sure you just had some generic 'tough guy' in mind, but it's not like I'm demanding the guy get thrown into some hellhole and raped int he shower every day. I'd like if we could have humane prisons like some countries, far fewer people in them, and that they should form a representative cross-section of society.

Really, if you don't have some sort of institutional accountability then it just increases the incentives to do this sort of thing precisely because the upside benefits are so much larger than the downside risks. OK, Stumpf's professional reputation is in tatters and it's probably had a negative impact on his social life...but he can basically afford to spend the rest of his life on a yacht. People suffer worse consequences from divorce.
Sounds cool. One annoying bit of breathless (and brainless) enthusiasm stuck out though: "In fact, diamond is the hardest substance known to man, there is literally nothing we could use that could offer more protection."

While diamonds are extremely hard, they are brittle, and shatter relatively easily.
We are on the same page I think. The CBC is saying $158mm will go to private media. You say that's inaccurate. I'm saying if it is accurate, taxpayers shouldn't be paying $400mm more for $158mm to go to private media.

I think you are misunderstanding the tech in question. This doesn't work on all radioactive waste, just the graphite (which admittedly is a decent portion of it). You'd still want secure facilities to store what you haven't recycled.
Well, I have felt like my battery has drained a lot more quickly, but until today thought it might just be my imagination. Will be monitoring my SE a lot closer. Personally, I'd recommend against updating until 10.2 is out for a week or two.
This will sound like neckbeard cynicism, but I actually mean this and in a positive way:

"There are so many possible uses that we’re asking the public to come up with suggestions of how they would utilise this technology by using #diamondbattery.”

It's cool how they're engaging the public in their research in this way. Of course it's a transparent ploy to get social media mentions, but scientists of all sorts (and I kind of am one myself) would do themselves a favor by doing more to get the general public to know about their/our work. This particular thing 'feels' sort of slimy (to me at least, but I suspect to others on this site as well), but I think that's a bad reflex on my part, and that easy, low-friction things like giving people an opening to send a quick tweet or FB post reaches a different audience than having a stand at the 'open science fair' or having a lecture open to the general public; those tend to self-select in the audience they attract, to put it mildly.
This happens to me all the time. Possibly every day. And normally the conversation just keeps moving.

Maybe it's an introvert thing.
The click farms are a bit more sophisticated than that. Follows and likes are priced based on the level of human intervention: simple bots are cheap but less persistent since they are easy to distinguish from organic traffic. Fake accounts created manually are much harder to detect.

In all seriousness, why is Fedora the mosts worthy Linux out of them all, in terms of privacy and security? I thought those two were kind of an inherent staple of all Linux distros? In the past I've used Debian Stable with AwesomeWM (the inspiration for Mjolnir) and it felt pretty secure?
Part (most?) of the damage isn't contained in the numbers you cited. Wells Fargo used customer identities to apply for and open credit cards, which could have affected their credit scores and thus potentially the interest rates they paid on loans (that could be a lot for something like a mortgage). It's hard to know what the dollar figure of this is, but it probably raises the damages a little bit.
It could, yes, and has been.

See Walmart vs local economies.
mm, I remember from a lecture that 'nuclear waste' is actually a label used by the nuclear industry but non all of them can be disposed, some by products can be used as a base atomic weapons.

So all countries with nuclear power plants have to return/control the 'nuclear waste'.

TL;DR When you do an in-place upgrade it does so in the SYSTEM authority. If you hit Shift+F10 during part of this process you get a Command Prompt running as SYSTEM. Then you can do some file system and registry changes to replace an accessibility feature exe with cmd and again run it under the SYSTEM authority pre-login and add your account to the Administrators group.
I've always heard it as Google, Facebook, Apple and Amazon. Microsoft isn't very sexy to the typical developers that participate in the startup/Silicon Valley "scene" and its accompanying communities (HNews included).
What makes these so easy to detect that they're this secretive about it? There has to be obvious clues in the TCP/IP stack. 4g modems are opaque and proprietary so it's unlikely the fear of discovery lies there.

If I had to guess, they're probably detectable from TCP/IP, easily, in user land.

How? Just thinking about it, fragmented packets could be a possibility. If fragments are sent in the wrong order you need to reassemble them to find the proper destination. This requires keeping a fragment state table on the device doing the transparent forwarding. I've seen many transparent proxies that just drop these packets instead.
How would you expect or want colleagues to refer to you as? For example if a lead programmer asks another one of your colleagues "who's looking at this bug?" and that colleague points to you do they say "he is" or "she is" or something else?
Haha this sounds straight out of Asimov's Foundation novels where a civilization was driven to innovate miniaturized nuclear power.
"assuming perfect conversion" is important. It seems unlikely that the conversion is 100% efficient. It may for example only be 1% efficient, so you may need to multiply all power and weight estimates by 100.
Apple hardware is top notch but for me Android OS is way better then iOS to give it up.
The first thing on your site -essentially the sales pitch - is a quote comparing it to Cards Against Humanity. While I've heard of CAH, I've never played it - so your product game concept is lost on me.
> This particular thing 'feels' sort of slimy

I was just coming here to talk about how inaccurate the title was. It implies (or leads people to believe) that "nuclear batteries" are something new. Or at least, that's what they want readers thinking. They're not even close to new. They're decades old. They're aboard the Voyager probes (which is why they're still working, 30 years later) and they're powering the Curiosity rover on Mars. Hell, there was even a nuclear battery powered automobile made by Ford I believe (the "Nucleon") as proof of concept. This was in the 1950s.

The new thing here, is the fact that they can run the batteries with nuclear waste.

I wonder if a research library offers a course on efficient research using modern tools.
This is great news for those holding gold reserves. If all the illicit transfers of funds have to shift to gold then people will have to buy gold in order to do that, thereby increasing demand and also price.

Unfortunately, a rapidly rising gold price would cause more investors to put their money in gold rather than other investments, like venture capital, so in the long run, the net effect of getting rid of large currency bills would be to hurt the economy itself. This is why FREEDOM is always the best policy. When governments try to "engineer" a specific outcome they always screw it up, because they grossly miscalculate the knock-on second order effects of their policies.

Governments will always screw up monetary policy of every kind. For example, the only thing that should set interest rates is the market. The federal reserve has conjured so much money into existence by artificially keeping interest rates low, that we now sit on a $20T of debt in his country. It's inter-generational theft plain and simple. We are spending money that doesn't belong to us. It belongs to the next generation of americans, and you are complicit in the theft if you voted democrat. Thank god you dems lost the election you blithering ass hats.
You are 'explaining away the US's flaws'. Here's a per capita comparison between police killings in the US, UK, Germany, and Australia:

http://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/2016/07/08/us-police-shoo...

And you say riots and police being hunted? There is violent unrest in China, too. In both the US and China, the middle-class and the folks in power just hand-wave away the concerns of the victimised demographics, finding excuses for the state's poor treatment of them.

As many people are mocking and blocking #blacklivesmatter as are supporting it. What are those in power actually doing in response to the upset demographics in the US? Hot air. Nada. Zilch. Zip. Nothing with any real bite. Hence, blase.
This is no diamond-age. These devices are all well and good, but think of the scales involved. To generate enough power to do something like power a home, let alone a vehicle, we are going to need kilos of this stuff. Kilos of diamond. It's also going to get rather hot. That is the point.

Using numbers from patch_collector:
1 x 50watt lightbulb / 0.0013 Watts/gram = 38Kg = 83lbs of diamond per bulb.

Diamonds are far from indestructible. They shatter. More importantly, they burn. We don't see it very often but put enough of them together, add heat and electricity, and you better hope there isn't any oxygen nearby. Imagine a couple pounds of these things, on fire, pumping out radioactive carbon dioxide. At least when uranium burns it produces something heavy that can be filtered. Filtering radioactive CO2 would be a nightmare. These things will never find there way into any consumer product.
My understanding is that overflow is pretty much fine and dandy in LLVM unless your frontend opts into the nsw flag.
It's not mentioned in the article, so I'll note that the code presented is Windows-specific. Windows uses a different calling convention (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_calling_conventions#Micros...) from the one used on Mac and Linux systems (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_calling_conventions#System...), so if you want to see the assembly you get from clang on Mac, you'll want to annotate sortRoutine with __attribute__((ms_abi)).
I meant the hat not the distro. I use Ubuntu, I am happy with it. Before that used Debian and Slackware. Was happy with those too. Used it for 15 years. Can't complain. I don't feel my computing has been hurt by using Linux. And over time it seems as it's the only sane choice.
Actually Xiaomi (a Chinese vendor) has one of the best update models I have seen. They update MIUI weekly, every Thursday a new update with small changes/security fixes. If only more companies would adopt such a model we'd have a different situation.

What sucks is that everything around/in us fights for survival by eating all living things it could. So even if we manage to avoid animals, plants will still send distress signals once we collect them, nuts will still contain powerful allergens, viruses will still eat us from inside etc. Simply that's how life works; to change it we would need to go beyond Universe and reprogram it from outside.

CBC issued a well-researched Strategy available at http://future.cbc.ca/ that addresses some of your concerns.

Just a few most compelling arguments:

1. Every $1 invested in CBC contributes to $2 to the Canadian economy as a whole (+ 7.200 jobs created, even though it's debatable if this is a good thing if these jobs are really as unnecessary as some of the contributors here comment)

2. CBC is supporting local talent and culture of Canada, which is threatened by the hegemony of its southern neighbour. It offers its viewers differing views to topics such Syria refugees or economical plight America's rustbelt towns that influence political dynamics in the U.S. election. Not to mention the value it brings to French or indigenous speaking parts of the country.

3. The whole advertising business model for traditional media is breaking down, as explained in Chapter 3 of the Strategy. Without government funding of the content that matters, we risk of being left in the world where a handful of Silicon Valley corporations make billions in advertising profits from people sharing self-made fake news. This is also an argument for redirecting the ad money to CBC's private Canadian competitors - they are going to need all the help they can get to survive the disrupting media landscape.

4. Chapter 4 offers a showcase where similar strategies made a considerable difference in both quality of programming and its sustainability - that of BBC.

5. Digital innovation is an integral part of the laid-out strategy, offering hope that this is not a short term plan to get more money from tax payers to fix a leaking bucket.

All in all, I find the strategy thought out, well-researched, and worthy of support.

"Don't write tests. Generate them."
This. I also rarely see mentions in comments like this about how they did some basic statistical significance checks. Depending on the conversion goal, sales cycle, and revenue, you might be looking at spending a large sum over a period of months to get proper benchmarks for efficacy.
Fair. I'm not saying that your average Rust programmer will be able to deal with unsafe code immediately. But I do think that at this stage the list of things you can and cannot rely on (and the invariants you must uphold) is clear enough that in theory you could make a checklist to deal with this. The nomicon provides much of the background for folks wanting to figure this out and write unsafe code.

These days I've been writing a lot of unsafe code (for FFI) and I do want to get around to penning a concise guide (or just expanding the nomicon). But I'm mostly waiting for the unsafe code subteam to figure out a couple things before doing this (specifically, the exact boundaries of rust's noalias UB becomes important in FFI and this is not specified yet).

But yeah, it's not necessarily obvious. I'd like to make it easier to get this understanding of unsafe code though.

You should check out the financial independence subreddit[0]. The sidebar has links to a lot of material for you to read on this topic. People there are working toward FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early). Some people in the community care about the FI aspect only (and want to continue working in some form) and some care primarily about the RE side. Whatever your goals are, there are a bunch of people there that can help get you started.

The FI subreddit is one of my favorites -- I enjoy reading through the daily threads and the Monday milestone threads. There are so many people who are younger than me who are way further ahead. I've learned to not let it bother me. I've mapped out my own path to FI and I'm working towards it. Even with extremely conservative estimates I will shave 10-15 years off my working career.

Wow, I read this, and thought "hey, maybe there is an opportunity here... another problem to solve, to make society better".

I'm a bit surprised by the amount of denial and "not my problem" comments (or perhaps "what problem?" comments).

Yes, it's a very difficult problem -- maybe more on par with a Mars mission than the next chat app. Was hoping to see more interest and ideas. I don't think it's a sign of weakness to show empathy, or to advocate for the greater good vs. greater efficiency. Or try for both.
I found some notes from when I was looking into the Priv at the end of last year. They lack detail, but maybe are a good starting point for someone.

* Root of trust: unique crypto keys at the hardware level: Somehow implemented in way that guarantees Blackberry through supply chain, they claim. Maybe Blackerry supplies own chipset, w/ key included?

* Verified Boot and Secure Bootchain: Verifies integrity of all layers, from hardware to software. Uses hashes, crypto signatures

* hardened Linux kernel with numerous patches and configuration changes to improve security

* FIPS 140-2 compliant full disk encryption for data and applications

* Monthly updates through the Google Play store (only?)

* DTEK: "a single dashboard to monitor and control application access to your microphone, camera, location and personal information."

* Can customize each app's privacy settings, like in Android 6

Except you wouldn't use an Arduino; AVR processors are notorious power hogs when you start counting the milli (and micro) watts. Run-of-the-mill TI MSP430 microcontrollers, aside from being arguably more powerful and better designed at similar price points, consume less than 1 microamp in idle mode.

What you're saying is of course completely true, but it also means that "I'd be happy to pay my $45.71 per person per year" is equally invalid as a indicator as to whether some public good or service is worthwhile. I believe your parent comment was calling that out, rather than making an argument that it's worth nothing at all.

As an aside, I think it's reaching quite a lot to say that an ad-free CBC is somehow equivalent to a "strong civil society". I get that you're saying it's an ingredient, but unless you quantify the value then it's an argument you could apply to absolutely everything under the sun. (The government should fund my blog for $0.01 per person, after all a strong civil society is certainly worth a penny each!)

It's less that "you can't beat the compiler", but rather that "trying to beat the compiler can backfire if you don't take a great deal of care". Some optimization advice doesn't apply to current compilers or systems, and can produce actively worse results. The worst-case scenario isn't "you did no better than the compiler", it's "you did much worse than the compiler".
