I think you're missing the point that it's fundamentally un-Apple-like to have two new products that out-of-the-box can't connect with each other.
The headphone jack is beautifully simple, DRM free, sounds good enough even for audiophiles and has been around for over 100 years. Buying a decent pair of headphones with a jack is a worthwhile investment. Buying "lightning" anything, much less so.
This is way off topic at this point, but I would say lying to make yourself look better (and it was a lie) is fundamentally different from defrauding people with a product that doesn't work/doesn't exist.

They're both bad, but they're not directly comparable.
> My current Bash prompt contains a unicode character. I guess this is unsupported?

Multibyte characters are 100% supported, but only if they are available in the chosen font. The fallback fonts feature will resolve this issue for you.

> Possible bug: on macOS when I minimize Alacritty, and I put it on focus again, it tries to select text. Strangely, not always.

Definitely a bug, and it's one that I knowingly shipped with (usually I just resize my terminal once and then it's static). The events triggering selection seem to work slightly different on macOS than Linux. The issue should be easy to resolve, but this comes down to making time.

I only prescribe one system (a default one), but I can't prevent alternatives to exist.

Show me an example. For now, I will assume they are selfish if they don't.

Swedish 6-hour work day experiment: Happiness Can’t Overcome the Cost
There's quite a few Russian accounts on Youtube with suspicious views counts. Like the guy who cuts things in half with his glowing knife. Lots of Russian spam and click-bait content too. Type in something about Ukraine, Russia or NATO and scroll through all the Russian 'WW3 Illuminati' garbage that comes up.
JIRA is terrible in my opinion but has evolved and many (most?) small, medium and big software houses use it.

There are more alternatives than I can count did you look elsewhere? For some reason people continue using JIRA and investing time and money on it. JIRA has an awful interface, is unnecessarily complicated, has a learning curve (when it shouldn't) and you actually need to know SQL in order to create helpful views for trivial things (e.g. have a proper view of hours/projects worked per week).
I think the correct tradeoff is to judge the malfeasance of the product based on what security precautions were reasonable at the time the product was created.

Granting that "reasonability" is a very fuzzy standard, it seems obvious that a product with 30 year old crypto should not be subject to lawsuits because someone got solved integer factorization on real hardware.

Dear lord a dozen countries could use this style of "evidence" to support the notion that the BBC(British Broadcasting) is deeply involved in nefarious election influencing. I believe in freedom of speech including Russia's ability to talk and influence. All the evidence not directly related to hacking is just completely inappropriate. This "proof" doesn't help their case against Russia. They should be focusing a narrow remit on the like's of Gucifier and Wikileaks. What a mess.
We (18F/GSA) have been using DHS's tool in production for a few months now, and have fixed various bugs as they've come up.

Before that, pshtt's methodology was replicated in a Ruby tool (site-inspector) that we grafted HTTPS/HSTS detection logic onto, and had that running in production for a year or so.

So in terms of business logic, I think it's pretty mature. If you mean things like having it formally audited or having a dedicated development team, it hasn't gotten there yet. But the more people that use it, the more mature it will get.

> If you know the structure of your data, you can easily do a better and faster job of compressing than a generic compression algorithm.

I'd change this to: the ease of doing a better and faster job of compressing than a generic compression algorithm will be a function of the data's Kolmogorov Complexity.

You can easily know your data's structure (e.g. strings no larger than N bytes containing natural language in a line-separated file) and not be able to (easily) do better than a generic compressor due to the complexity of the required compression / reconstruction operations.

Generally, yeah.

Like, if you built a product today, and (pulling an example out of the air), used bcrypt for password encryption, you wouldn't be liable for that choice down the road -- you used what's generally considered a recommended best practice for protecting user's passwords at the time you released the product.

But if, in 2017, you used an unsalted md5, a lawyer could make the argument that you by now should sure as hell have known better, and that the problems arising from that were easily foreseeable (since most of the industry was aware of the problem and in fact had been writing about it for years).

In this case the FTC is essentially alleging that D-Link's practices were so bone-headed and obviously counter to industry best-practices that they have no real excuse .
Thank you for the suggestion! I've had a few comments suggesting similarly. I plan to investigate this as time permits.

The killer for entertainers and sports figures who blow through tons of money is keeping an entourage. There are probably tech figures who have one, but I don't know who they are.
If you listen to interviews with any politicians or intelligence officials it's pretty obvious that they are dancing around the truth and never answering any questions. This is a partisan hit job.

And I can't tell if the DNC is supposed to be a private or government entity. If you complain that they cheated and screwed over Bernie, people respond with "well it's a private organization, they can do what they want". But now it's a matter of "election rigging" and "national security" that they've supposedly been hacked.

And if the information released was true, who cares if it was a hack? If the information is true, which it appears to be, then it was a service to our country that it was released.
Well now I feel like an idiot :)
But IMO this isn't a "safety" issue with the devices themselves that could hurt the users unintentionally, this is a 3rd party "weaponizing" the system for their own use.

I'm struggling think of a good analogy, but it seems more like suing Ford because thieves can easily steal their cars for use in robberies.

In essence, the device is being used by an unauthorized 3rd party to harm a 4th party. The device owner in some cases is never harmed or even inconvenienced, and neither is the manufacturer.

It's a shitty situation, and I don't personally know where the line should be drawn, but IMO it should be drawn clearly.
That one lie, which she apologized for, doesn't compare to the constant lying that Trump engages in. And Trump almost never apologizes or admits that he lies. There is not much equivalence in my mind between the lying that Hillary Clinton or even most other politicians make when compared to Trump. That's how I see Elizabeth Holmes from Theranos. I'm just astounded by Holmes' and Trump's audacity to constantly spout such shameless and easily disproven lies. They are pathological liars. I can't say that about too many other people, and Hillary Clinton doesn't belong in the same class as Trump.

A lot of this report is about RT - Russia Today - the English language TV channel run by the Russian government.

How is this different than "Voice of America" or the BBC for that matter; those media give a lot of space to political opposition in places like China or Russia.

Sure RT have an opinion and a bias wrt. US politics; but it is not like the people watching would be in any doubt that this channel was sponsered by Russia and had "an Russian perspective" on things.

Based on his article it looks like he's using subscriptions internally rather than polling. That's a fairly natural thing to do across an Elixir application/cluster.

In terms of conflict resolution, it seems like you'd have to clearly define a scenario where a conflict was possible. Based on the write-up, the state of an address would be based on the aggregate of the events that wrote to it. That seems like it would always lead to the last change winning.

From the write up of the system, I actually can't imagine trying to do this in anything other that Elixir/Erlang. The set of requirements and challenges to pull it off would be really complicated on just about any other platform.

I think every week I try to use something other than Chrome. This week I am using Brave, and I am very committed to making Brave my daily driver. But clicking on the "+" to open a new tab is not as responsive as Chrome, and there are many more small details like that. They aren't that noticeable immediately after starting to use the browser, but sensitivity to it builds up over use to the point that it is very annoying. So annoying that Chrome is working its way back into my work flow. Even more, in the last couple hours I've had 3 instances where a website didn't work correctly and I had to switch to Chrome. Extremely frustrating and if the alternative browers can't satisfy someone actively looking to ditch Chrome, then there's no way it will be adopted by more than a small fraction of users.
Is the mobile app storing the credentials so the user can send them to an outside service? If the user checkmarked the box for "save my password", then

>requiring a password/PIN to unlock the stored credentials

defeats the purpose of a feature built to not require a user to remember a password. "Save my password" features are very common. I use that feature of Firefox all the time. I fully understand if someone gets access to my filesystem, then they get my passwords. (And they also get all the other important stuff on my filesystem like my photos and documents.)

"Let's have certifications!" is a common answer, but the mechanics are non-trivial. Flip the question around from it's usual perspective... suppose you are a certification authority. Put your business hat on. What would it take for you to be willing to certify a non-trivial product as being secure? Bear in mind that the act of certification puts your skin in the game; if you certify things that subsequently have flaws in them, you will at the very least suffer a reputation hit, and it's not out of the question you'll get caught in the lawsuit and monetary damages crossfire. So... what would it take for you to be willing to sign off on an IP camera?

Being honest with yourself, would you have certified something as secure if it used OpenSSL correctly (assuming such a unicorn could exist), before you knew about Heartbleed? If your answer is no, what would it take for you to be willing to certify something using SSL? (I assume "not using SSL" is an obvious certification black mark.)

What I mean by "put your business hat on" is that I am not trying to make the point that this is impossible. I don't think it is. What I mean is, think business, think risk, think risk management, think about how your business is basically made out of black swan events, think about what it would take for you to put yourself out like that, and put some real numbers on the money and at least mentally come up with a sketch of what it would take.

Speaking for myself, it doesn't take me long before I notice that my certification standards would simply annihilate the entire IoT industry as it now stands, on even basic stuff like "Since you're using C, are you using best-practices static analysis? Can you update your firmwares? How secure is your firmware update process?" Those three questions alone and I've probably tipped nearly the entire industry into a negative cost/benefits analysis. Does that solve the problem? Again, I mean that question more honestly than it probably sounds on the Internet; a case can be made that an industry that is currently basically only able to survive by extensive offloading of what become negative externalities really shouldn't exist, even in a bootstrap phase. Perhaps nuking the industry as it now stands is the best thing we could do in the next couple of years. Pour encourager les autres if for no other reason. Let the industry come up with some best practices, form some "sell shovels rather than dig for gold" companies around building more secure IoT platforms, come back at the problem after that.

A real certification process that really solves this problem is probably unsustainably expensive for the industry as we now know it, xor the certification will be a useless rubber stamp that doesn't solve the problem.

This report was commissioned with bipartisan support from congress. So, is it a "bipartisan hit job"?
I did a coding bootcamp and it was a very positive experience. I transitioned from a PM to a software engineer and have been working full stack for 2 years.

Here's some advice:

* don't start the bootcamp without any practice on your own. Everyone successful at my
Bootcamp had spent months / years practicing and learning to code beforehand. You won't be successful if this is your first attempt
* you don't get really any job support. That will be your job
* your "graduation" means nothing as an employer; it has no brand (or maybe negative) unlike a cs degree. The bootcamp gives you minimum skills to be competitive in an interview but it gives you no brand.

* My program had a strong curriculum. specifically our JavaScript curriculum was awesome and actually was a lot better than online resources. I actually understand key concepts like hoisting, this, and prototypical inheritance that a lot of people don't understand about JS. However quality of curriculum varies widely by program

* the job hunt will be brutal. You will rejected a lot and the hunt can last a long time. One of my colleagues took 9 months. if you don't have any pedigree on your resume (good school, good company, etc) many employers won't even interview you. You need a way to stand out of the crowd of bootcamp grads

> A physical switch is for surety and peace of mind

Theoretically, there's no reason to trust a physical switch more than a software switch, unless you've opened the computer and verified that the physical switch breaks all circuits to all wifi radios. The physical switch could merely control software, or it might control one connection to one radio but not others.
I felt the bootcamp really exaggerated outcomes. They said like 95+% got jobs. In reality, probably only roughly 30% got "real" coding jobs (a bunch got support or testing jobs at well.) Some ended up empty handed, one of us is working at Trader Joes.

Bewares statistics! They can be easily manipulated.

> do his skills translate to the visionary tasks expected of the CEO

So this is a real question, why does the CEO have to be the visionary? Why can't the product visionary role be supplied by Ive? According to Jobs himself, he 'set things up at Apple so that no one can tell Jony what to do'. It seems like Ive could have taken the CEO desk after Steve passed if that's what he wanted but because he isn't interested in doing the dog and pony stuff instead they came up with this dual split where Jony focuses on Products and Tim does all the stuff Tim did as COO and temp CEO when Steve was sick and it just so happens that Tim's nameplate says CEO and Jony's says CDO.
Questions shaping the future of autonomous vehicles
When you get to scale, you can start doing things like manufacturing displays with higher PPI near where the lenses are centered. That way you have the same number of total physical pixels but a higher resolution contributing to the image.

You can further reduce the computational costs by using foveated rendering(http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/johnsny/papers...). You can use low-latency eye-tracking to spend more time rendering the portions of the frame that the user is actively looking at.

I think the combo of falling gpu prices, and clever hardware design means we will probably see headsets with effectively higher and higher resolutions sooner rather than later.
Yes, "tabs and scrollback are unnecessary" seriously, must be some sort of a joke, I work all day long in a terminal and tabs are a must have.
Figure out how much your competitors are charging, then decide if you're comparable to them, a value-oriented version of them, or a premium version of them. If you're comparable, you're priced the same as them. If you're value, you're their price minus 10% or so. Premium is +10% or so.

That being said, you need to at least cover the cost of running your servers. Hopefully your competitor's pricing will do that. If not, you either need to charge more or cut the cost of running your servers.
Can you cite something to show that it is well known? I do not know this.
That's not at all what the report says, of course.
