> If I live my life like that, I would be living as if I already lived in a police state by my own choice. That seems counter productive.

No, that is how you prevent a police state.

I mean, obviously you don't actually live as if you already lived in a police state, but you take some of the same precautions, which all boil down to keeping power distributed.

That's the whole point of democracy, really: We make our political system deliberately inefficient by making sure that the amount of power that's concentrated in any single person's hands is limited, and the only reason we do that is to limit the damage when the wrong person gets into a position of power. If there is one thing we absolutely should have learned from history by now, it is that concentrations of power are extremely dangerous.

Also, much of this is not about individuals, and it's not black and white. Authoritarian regimes don't care about most individuals. This is about power structures in a society as a whole. A dictator wants to know the top 100000 or so individuals that could be dangerous to their power in order to be able to concentrate their efforts on keeping them under control. Even if your political disinterest is no risk at all to the dictator's power position, the fact that they can tell you apart from the dissident next door helps them staying in power. And all of that is gradual, it's all an economic question in the end: How much effort does it take to prevent everyone from successfully challenging the dictator's authority? Every additional person you need in your secret police in order to maintain your power makes things harder, everything that a computer can just tell you makes it easier.

So, you have to think not from the standpoint of an individual and what someone could do to target you specifically (which usually is impractical to protect against, and is unnecessary in a stable social structure), but from the standpoint of someone trying to gain power over a large social structure (such as a dictator in a country--but really, it's not in any way tied even to political positions, it might just as well be the head of a company trying to establish themselves as a de-facto monopoly, say), and what makes it easier for them to gain and to maintain power, and what hinders them, on the scale of the society as a whole. And you have to realize that a lot of this is path-dependent: It's a lot harder to remove a dictator once they are in place than to prevent them. So, reactionary solutions don't really work. In simple terms: You can vote a dictator in, but you can not vote a dictator out.
Exactly my point, perception is unreliable. It is easy for the eyes to misinterpret reality, or even for them to be actively deceived.

Here, follow the instructions to download and install the HDF5 plugin for Fiji:

http://lmb.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/resources/opensource/i...

From the same site you can download "pollen.h5". Then follow the steps to load the dataset in "hyperstack (multichannel)" mode. This will open a window where each frame in the movie is a z-slice of the 3D image.

Then go to Plugins/Volume Viewer (scroll down) and switch the mode (top left) to "Volume". (this is what you should get: http://i.imgur.com/0QoGa1t.png)

The same people also published lots of 3D data of the zebrafish embry. Have a look at:

http://vibez.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/

Look for "e098.h5" to download it.

If you have never worked with the HDF5 format before, you can use HDF5 View (https://support.hdfgroup.org/products/java/hdfview/) to look into the files. As you can see here (http://i.imgur.com/nnTiyQh.png) the data in pollen.h5 basically is a uint8-array of 193x199x419.

There are libraries for many languages to read HDF5. Eg. "h5py" for Python.
I had to look it up. And you're right, I didn't know what the accountants think gross profit means. The thing is, gross profit doesn't include operating expenses[0]: "rent, equipment, inventory costs, marketing, payroll, insurance and funds allocated toward research and development."[1] As you can see on the page you linked, for a company like AMD, their operating expenses are huge. And that's not even including expenses from taxes and debts. So the number we really want, and what I imagine most people are thinking you meant, is net income. Which, you'll notice is sadly rather negative.

>dirty trick known as kompromat

Jesus, as a Russian - it never ceases to amuse me when these people start to make things up.

Kompromat is not a trick, not something invented by KGB\FSB\whoever. This is just a word (a combination of two words, actually - 'компрометирующий материал' or compromising materials) that describes some formal evidence agains a person.

Even wiki has some bullshit - "about a politician or other public figure". No, it has nothing to do with being public person or anything like that.

I have taken more traditional infosec coursework for $DAYJOB. I must say this stuff, the more novice stuff beneath and the more advanced stuff above my head, is well structured, even if informal, entertaining, and inspiring. I definitely want to give back to the community like him with solid content and a very unassuming attitude. This is exactly the kind of teacher we need in this space!

(This is not to say F Security is assuming or crappy, I just wanted to talk up someone who really is teaching how to hack the way I think it ought to be done!)
Good visualization but it would had made better sense if we can co-relate multiple parameters at once. Plus, for things like road lanes, i.e., single lane or double lane, etc .. it will be better to explain them in one sentence somewhere on the page.

Though It displayed that if we had multiple lanes roads atleast for all "national" highways then number of accidents will fall dramatically.
Personally I think some traditional PEDs are fantastic and would love for them to be more accessible. Not necessarily OTC but a lot closer. Thanks for the articles, I know Mike's name and will definitely dig in! I did the whole "get educated" before putting anything in my body, and frankly, have enjoyed what many things have done (several now banned in the US ugh).

I'm kind of talking around it, but what bothers me is guys who obviously are on great designer gear - The Rock, Hugh Jackman, Marky Mark - but claim otherwise, or minimize what role actually pushing their genetic envelope via PEDs helped them pull off. Pretending otherwise doesn't sit well with me.
There is an accelerating trend of cord cutters. Any event upsetting a specific subsection of the remaining subscribers triggers a small cutting avalanche. But focusing on the trigger of the month is missing the root causes. The reason people cut is that the bundle makes less sense than competing offerings. The bundle is also so expensive that some loss of content is now tolerated.

I guess I should point out there is JSONPath, a kind-of-standard language with libraries in all languages, so unless this is doing a new, amazing, thing I don't see why someone should use it.

I, however, don't like JSONPath since jq[1] exists. But, of course, it is not the same thing as using a native library.

I receive loads of these sorts of emails, but one recent one stood out. They had a script that looked up my location, automatically found a restaurant nearby and randomly picked a dish from the menu. The email then attempted to make small-talk about how this individual had once dined at said restaurant and enjoyed said dish. And it might've been remotely convincing had they not used such halting language and brackets around the inserts implying they were variables in a script.

There's automating general messaging, and then there's automating "personalised" smalltalk.
Disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer.

In some countries, it's quite different. In Russia, you own anything you made as long as

* you don't touch it while you're on duty

* you don't use the employer's equipment

Obviously, you still can't use any information classified as 'trade secrets' at your current job because it's covered under another law.

You can even work in a directly competing company (or start one) WHILE being employed because job contract can't legally regulate your off-duty time and you can have unlimited number of side-jobs, as long as it's under 20-hours-a-week, in addition to your current full-time job. You don't even have to notify your full-time employer about it. The 'non compete clause' doesn't work. And your full-time employer can't even fire you (legally) just because you work in/own a competing company, as long as you follow all the regulations.

Even the 'I don’t just want to buy your 9:00-5:00 inventions. I want them all' in the job contract can't work if I understand the Russian laws correctly.
Its worse.

SELinux basically implements the concept of "trusted computing". This is a military term, and its about how the generals in pentagon can trust a computer in the field to not "leak" sensitive data (like how mismanaged the war is). This be it to the enemy or ones own soldiers.

Later big media would embrace the term as an alternative to DRM.

Effectively SELinux treats anything and anyone as a potential attacker, including the owner and user on the computer it is installed on.

And the reason it "makes sense" on Android is that the owner of the device is not the owner of the OS, that is the OEM, carrier and ultimately Google.

Yes, the built in csv module really does that in Python 3.

If you pass it bytes, yes, it does. If you pass it strings, no, it doesn't.

If what you pass to the built-in CSV writer is not a string, the CSV writer will call str() to get a string representation it can write out. The string representation of a bytes object includes the 'b' prefix.

Meanwhile, you discovered your bug: you were treating bytes as text, which is likely to blow up on you sooner or later, and thanks to how Python now handles text, it blew up on you immediately as a way to remind you not to treat bytes as text.

What you probably think you want is for the CSV writer to realize it got a bytes object and, instead of calling str(), call its decode() method to get text it can write. But that is once again a dangerous operation, and sort of the whole point of Python 3's text changes is it won't let you get away with that stuff anymore.

No bytecode binaries run everywhere with a runtime (ms/mono) (and library support for whatever you are running).
From the AMD point of view, the Linux upstream's approach to modifying the internal API and drivers is a problem itself: "I understand forward progress on APIs, but frankly from my perspective, atomic has been a disaster for stability of both atomic and pre-atomic code. Every kernel cycle manages to break several drivers. What happened to figuring out how to do in right in a couple of drivers and then moving that to the core. We seem to have lost that in favor of starting in the core first. I feel like we constantly refactor the core to deal with that or that quirk or requirement of someone's hardware and then deal with tons of fallout."

Certainly, from what I've seen the first few stable releases after every new kernel version are often full of fixes for modesetting-related regressions.

The whole point of running and using browser apps is that they are guaranteed to be sandboxed - Node.js breaks this sandboxing 100% which makes it more powerful but also inherently a mess security wise. This mess can to a certain extend be accommodated on the server side but certainly not on the client side where code from 1000s of devs will eventually be run without vetting.

I can think of a few:

- Have the employee agree to grant a royalty-free license to all relevant inventions made in the appropriate time period

- Have the employee forfeit all inventions in the event they initiate litigation

- Or better, sign a mutual patent disarmament clause (probably my favorite option)

Going back to the core of the issue though, I would not trust investors who insist on appropriating the rights to any and all inventions they can. The article tries to frame this as a legal protection strategy, but they don't need ownership to do this. The only reason they insist on it is to try and pressure the founders into squeezing maximum value from employees while giving back as little as they can in return. Unfortunately this behavior is quite widespread.
We share a lot in my company - I don't mind if the devs want to use some of the stuff we make and in turn they offer stuff they make to me. Works well and there's a lot of trust. we cover it legally too.

> Many `Graph` instances are `Monad`s. For example, `Basic` is a `Monad` (and many other things too). But on the other hand `Relation` is not a `Monad`, because it imposes the `Ord` constraint on the underlying type (and Haskell monads are not allowed that).

Indeed, I did say that it was a monad and not a `Monad`; math doesn't suffer from these implementation constraints. :-)

> Thanks, indeed "clique" may be not the best name... I decided to use it, because I would like to reserve "complete graph" to mean something like `clique [1..]` i.e. the complete graph on the whole universe. If we look from this perspective then something like `clique [1..10]` may look like a clique within some bigger graph. Anyway, I admit this may be confusing.

Oh, that makes more sense. Maybe it's worth even making just a throwaway remark to that effect?

I think your trust in laws is naive. A law doesn't self-enforce. The mere existence of a law does not limit de-facto power. You can not limit an entity's power by telling it that it is required to limit its own power. That might make exercising the power illegal, but it does not take away the actual power. And you don't have to look particularly far back into history to see how governments don't care about enforcing laws against themselves when that would limit their power. A lot of the things the NSA has been doing was illegal--did that stop them from doing it? No. As a matter of fact, they could eavesdrop on google's fibers, so they did, whether legal or not. If you really want to limit the power, you have to use technical measures that actually remove the power.
You are right but my reading of the situation is that there is a systemic imbalance and counter-parties in the business are also under pressure making them unwilling and worse unable to be flexible.

Renegotiation can work well if there are deep mutual dependencies e.g. manufacturing chains. If the cord cutting dynamic accelerates there will be little time to hammer out such deals. The quickest and fairest route may well be bankruptcy court.

To be clear, were you using DKMS? It's not clear at all to me if that's what the OP is talking about using (he mentions scripts in the nvidia installer), but DKMS has worked quite well for me for a long time when I needed to keep out-of-tree drivers up to date.

Of course, if your distro tracks the latest kernel upgrades in a frequent fashion (e.g. ArchLinux) then it's more problematic, since API changes in the kernel will actually cause compilation failures. But actually making a rebuild happen? Easy. Debian derivatives tend to have stable kernel versions for years and years, so DKMS works quite well here for modules that are out of tree (another example is ZFS on Linux).

Out of the three common GPU brands found in computers nowadays, Intel's integrated GPUs have mostly been a very pleasant experience for the end user when installing any GNU/Linux distribution. It just works without any additional work.

If AMD manages to reach that level of out-of-the-box working graphics driver, that will definitely reflect positively on their brand of graphics cards, and might give them an advantage over Nvidia.

I suspect that working with the kernel developers and maintainers will also be beneficial to the driver itself. It seems to me that for cooperating you gain valuable feedback on your code from people well-versed in kernel and driver code.
