WhatsApp backdoor allows snooping on encrypted messages
I've always wondered how learnable an understanding of unlikely events is but never investigated further. I guess a population of online poker players with increasing number of hands played (10k, 100k, 1 million etc.) (preferably winning ones) and others could yield interesting results.
Did they? extern was removed without deprecation.
I'm a bit more on the positive side. I actually really like systemd. When it was first introduced I spent 10-15 minutes learning how it operated and after that it has been so much better than the old init systems.

And the best part is that it's on all the major distros so I don't have to keep relearning the init system if I try something new.

My guess has been that the majority of users enjoy it and a few very vocal opponents have such hate for anything new that they will latch on to every small bug as if it's the worlds end.

(Anecdotally, this is the first time I have written a comment about systemd as other discussions have been non-productive flame fests without substance).
But every other platform has that as well.

It is just that twitter only has that option.
Thank-u for tackling the problem! Same here every once in a while and started looking for solutions. I recognized that others also used blockchain to target similar problems. Do you have any information how thank-u compares to Flattr+, Blendle or others?

This is a nice unexpected benefit of using Cloudflare to manage our DNS: they automatically flatten your apex/naked domain as well as the www subdomain (if you set them up using CNAMEs in their DNS manager).
I once setup a genetic algorithm running in Heroku. See https://minme.herokuapp.com/. It is quite simple to build if you use Flask for the API and Python for the machine learning in the backend.

So, to answer your question, such a service could be built on top of Heroku. I'm just not sure if Heroku can provide the performance you're looking for.
I think most devs would have the flexibility of mind to adjust to whatever framework (or whatever ad-hoc, informally-specified implementation of half a framework) you use in-house. Many of the frameworks are not very different and lean heavily on the stdlib anyway, this is not rocket science, frameworks have different uses and strong points and the community does not have to be divided in religious war between different frameworks or framework advocates and the church of the one pure stdlib.

These are tools, not competing world-views.
I did begin to wonder why they couldn't just bury the damn things in the first place; still even though it would certainly add to the initial start up cost, once in place they will continue to make Google money so why not spend the extra initially.
It's also worth mentioning that there is a draft spec for adding social proofs directly to OpenPGP: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-vb-openpgp-linked-ids-01

Never short based on the rationality of the market. Plenty of investors have been right and ended up totally broke.

On a personal note the worst investment I ever made was a short position where I was right, but six months too early.
Can you, from the device, chose how to transcode and apply subtitles, select different video/audio tracks, potentially trigger ahead-of-time transcoding, etc.?

Fixed device profiles are not particularly useful. I may be mistaken, but I do not recall DLNA as supporting any such "extended", server-specific capabilities.
I remember trying to sign up for gab.ai back when Milo Yanopopopopoulos was advertising it, but getting entered on a wait list.
Ah, that's a common misconception. Even with coroutines you still want explicit async calls and futures, otherwise if you restrict yourself only sync calls, you either have to artificially serialize operations or have to spawn artificial coroutines.

What do you do not want are explicit uses of 'future::then' and the required manual CPS transform. Instead you want a wait-for-{any,all} future operations.
Your example might benefit from some revision. Simply rewriting those statements as adjustments to the existing balance ("SET balance = balance + 1000" et al.), as would be used in reality, alleviates the race. This doesn't really help your example show blockchain's value.
systemd works somewhat ok for me, because I decided to stick to a very limited subset of the functionality it attempts to provide.

I've also used runit (which follows the daemontools model) as a service manager and I've never had an issue with that. I may just have been lucky though.

For me systemd fails because of some bugs I have repeatedly experienced:
- systemd stops reaping zombies for some reason; the OS's PID table becomes full and it's impossible to create new processse -> need to hard reset the machine
- systemd overtakes halt/reboot commands which is ok when it works I guess -- but for some reason I sometimes get "operation timed out" (likely because of some bug in systemd or dbus). At this point I have to hard reset the machine to get back to a usable OS.

Imagine if #2 happens to you on a remote machine. In my case, I had to call someone and ask them to reset the machine.

#1 is unthinkable for me, because it's the second thing init is supposed to do (the first one being bringing up the various services). I've never had this happen to me on older Linux or other Unices because let's face it, it's not that hard to do. At that point I honestly thought "how can I expect systemd to provide all the features it boasts when it can't do the easy things well ?".

I've also had daemons that systemd lost track of, apparently because of a wrong setting in the .service file. Now that's not a systemd bug, but it was very difficult to debug because I couldn't "trace" the process starting. On the other hand, with daemontools/runit it's quite simple: manually execute the ./run script and see where it fails. With classical init, run the /etc/init.d/service with sh -x and you see exactly where it fails.
The most important thing for Google Play Music after the "upload your own stuff":

It does a great job caching songs ahead while you're on Wifi, so you can minimize data usage while out and about. Plus, with the caching it also works offline perfectly well.

I feel a bit sorry for all the other services, but on a technical level Google Play Music has outplayed them all entirely.
That's optional. Plex has local account management. The iOS app hides it a bit, but it's there. You of course lose the plex.tv features (plex pass, etc.).
The key part is this, and it was apparently reported back in April 2016 with Facebook replying it's "expected behavior", it's not something a general attacker can do but it would enable WhatsApp/Facebook to read conversations:

> WhatsApp has the ability to force the generation of new encryption keys for offline users, unbeknown to the sender and recipient of the messages, and to make the sender re-encrypt messages with new keys and send them again for any messages that have not been marked as delivered.

It's worth noting as the article says, that this is built on top of the Signal protocol. In Signal, a similar situation with a user changing key offline will result in failure of delivery. Within WhatsApp under Settings>Account>Security there is an option to Show Security Notifications which will notify you if a users key has changed.
It's a rather long story and I don't want to go into the details - but I had a employment contract with unusual terms in it so there was a degree of negotiation about how the whole thing would work out and their initial offer contained a lot of stuff (e.g. relating to tax) that could have screwed me quite badly had I not had a lawyer look at it.
> you can turn off the binary logging

Every time that people write that they tell other people who do know systemd that they do not know it. The journal cannot be turned off. Making it be stored in files in /run/log/journal/ instead of in files in /var/log/journal/ is not turning it off. It's making it non-persistent so that it doesn't last across system restarts, delegating the job of writing persistent logs to post-processing services that (nowadays) read the journal using its systemd-specific database access facilities. Ironically, making it not be stored in any files at all would actually prohibit the post-processing services from working, as they would have nothing to read and to process into their own formats.

Sorry, I don't understand the question.

I also set GOPATH=$HOME, and all my source code (not only Go) lives in $HOME/src, and I do use git for both Go and non-Go projects (so they have a .git directory in $HOME/src/what/ever/.git), and there's no problem. Why would there be one?

Also not to forget: the buttons on tape players are real machanical things requiring some force to push them. I don't know why (I also like handtools and powertools, seems related) but something in pushing a nice hardware button satisfies me. Just like taking a tape and feeding it into the player. Something in my brain likes that. Just like limbing trees or scything grass. Sometimes I even do those for no practical reason, just the act alone is satisfying. And that has nothing to do with trying to make sure others know about any possible coolness or wackyness I might posess.

Once you look at the JPEG format it's kinda obvious that this should be possible: JPEG essentially compresses blocks independently, so intuitively each block boundary is stored twice.
>The iPhone 7 though is a big disappointment, and the fact that Apple themselves overestimated the demand is indicative of that. I think to a lot of people it looked like a decrement rather than increment, i.e. it's a 6 without the headphone jack. Camera? I don't know if I need the new one really. Faster CPU? I'm not sure it's critical for the apps I'm using. Personally, it's the first time since iPhone 3 that I don't want the new one.

The headphone port aside, it's an incremental update, with big internal technology boosts (cpu, gpu, camera setup, etc) as always (and waterproof, which is big).

What exactly would the disappointment be? And the 7 is selling more than fine, who said anything about "overestimating demand"?

"In the US, iOS grew 7 percentage points year-over-year, from 33.5% of smartphone sales to 40.5% in the three months ending October 2016. This represents the strongest rate of growth for the OS in more than two years, as well as the highest share seen since the three months ending January 2015 (42.8%). And while Android remains the dominant OS in the US, at 57.9% of smartphone sales, this latest data represents the 5th consecutive year-on-year period decline"

The iPhone enjoyed its largest gains in the UK, where sales of Apple’s iPhone lineup grew 9.1% year-over-year to 48.3%. At the same time, Kantar says Android’s share of smartphone sales slid 1.8% to 49.6%. iPhone’s share of the market also grew in France, Italy, Spain and across the EU5 region as a whole.

Overall, Slice says, revenues from iPhone sales in November and December 2016 were up 66.9% from the same period last year.

From the post,

If you pass a wrong key, aes gem raises an error:

decrypted = AES.decrypt(encrypted, "Some other password") #=> aes.rb:76:in `final': bad decrypt (OpenSSL::Cipher::CipherError)

I have a small doubt with the above statement, how come the following didn't raise any error?

encrypted = AES.encrypt("Super secret message", "password")
decrypted = AES.decrypt(encrypted, "totally wrong password")
decrypted #=> Super secret message

In the above, the enc key used was "password" and the dec key used was "totally wrong password". The call to the hex function should have returned "0" for the character pairs in the dec key which should've been the same result for enc key. Why didn't the library raise any error but instead decrypted correctly?

PS: I haven't tried it yet and would try to check it out. Just wanted to know if there is already a reason for it.

Sure, that's why the choice of VPN provider is important. You need to choose a provider which doesn't keep logs, and has the character to shut down their business before being legally compelled to reveal users, like lavabit did. You can read this thread for an example: https://airvpn.org/topic/15396-does-airvpn-log-its-users-ip-...

For additional protection, you can also run Tor over VPN.
To quote another commenter right above you:

You don't invent an entirely new hinge mechanism, a completely new keyboard mechanism and integrate an entire computer subsystem with touch based interface, together with thorough updates to all your software to support it, in a product you're neglecting.
The only credible criticism I've seen of the new MBP is that it's limited to 16 GB RAM and that's because that's the maximum limit of low profile RAM the Intel mobility processors support. That should change this year.
For the iMac, the move to 5K and wide colour gamut were huge upgrades. I think they bought themselves a few more months of runway on those, given the paucity of Intel's roadmap over the last year.
The real pain is with the Mac Pros. The situation there is just plain embarrassing. But looking at the Mac as a whole, Apple has been pouring in innovation and attention to detail. No other manufacturer is coming close to the level of effort going into their systems. Contrast the Surface line with bought-in commodity touch tech and clunky component choices (5400 rpm hard drives? Really?).

"Asked to comment specifically on whether Facebook/WhatApp had accessed users’ messages and whether it had done so at the request of government agencies or other third parties, it directed the Guardian to its site that details aggregate data on government requests by country."

Yes. This is trivially obvious by reasoning that a hash is a function that maps arbitrary data to data of a fixed size. There must be collisions otherwise it couldn't hash any possible string.

Usually you want a hash that maps similar strings to completely different output hashes (and I guess that's what the author actually wanted to describe). But that is not a necessity of a hash function, just a usual property.
Ahem!

In that sense you could make the argument that 'selling approved drugs on the market' also tests safety. To the point that the FDA has created the pseudo-category "phase 4". Vioxx looked great.

Interesting. I'd expect something entirely opposite - with one platform, pay-for-entrance, shills / marketers can just write the entry costs off as a small marketing expense.

I can't seem to get spotify to recommend me anything besides rap music. I use the checkboxes to indicate I like classical, the Dead, Phish, Dylan, Cash, and more but I have never once had anything besides rap music show up on my discover weekly. It's a bit frustrating.

From this corner of the world, tape looks like a local-ish hipster fad that's of interest in some micro-scenes.

But there's a general nostalgia thing happening all over, and tape and vinyl seem to be part of that.

When I switched from tape to vinyl in the 70s I noticed I enjoyed some of my collection less, even though I was hearing a lot more detail.

I've often wondered if there's a psychoacoustic effect which forces your brain to work harder to parse sound on cassette.

It's such a lofi medium I suspect your brain fills in the missing detail with what you'd like to hear. So it's more involving than (say) FLACl, which gives you all the detail you want - and then some.

I have the experience, that services with generic sounding domain names are never successfull. The only remotely successfull generic sounding domain site that I can think of is about.com

There are some exceptions, like messenger.com which I don't think is a counter-example. I think that messenger.com would be no-more or less successfull if it was named barf.com. People use it because facebook already has a foothold.
I also think there is some corporate backing in C++ compilers. Like a few internal company people are getting paid to fix this kind of stuff.
