`hardening` will depend on use case. I agree with such point of view, that security is not what you install but more state of your mind. So it's always people who are really being hacked rather than operating systems (of course this is simplification but in my opinion not that far from truth). On one security seminar presenter mentioned research that was pointing out that only ~30% of threats stopped on anti virus software, other 70% remained undetected - that gives us some clues too :-)

I'm big fan of Arch Linux and that's what I'm using, even though they do not yet fully adapt selinux nor grsec. The main reason I selected this distribution is that you build your system from bottom up resulting in bare minimum of running services, reducing plane of potential attack. Arch Linux promotes knowledge about linux mechanics - and that results in people being aware of bottlenecks and risks they may be taking.
I know a guy who went to a self-driving/sensor-based car tech stealth startup formed by many engineers from apple...

You would only expect that if you believe that the pool of applicants has three times as many men as women, but the distribution of qualified men and women are equal.

That's an assumption, and not the assumption I'm starting from. I think that your pool of 75% men and 25% women does, in fact, contain n/2 qualified men and (75% - n/2) unqualified men, and n/2 qualified women and (25% - n/2) unqualified women - that is, the number of qualified men and women is the same, but there are far more unqualified men in the pool. If your recruiting process has false positives (and everyone's does), you'll end up hiring much more unqualified men than unqualified women, as a result.

Mine is also an assumption, but it seems to line up better with the underlying null-hypothesis that, in the abstract, the same number of qualified men and women exist in the world.

Which fully open-source phone platform do you have in mind? I'm not aware of any.

On desktop and servers, however, it certainly is possible (and not-too-impractical) to verify binary blobs against known PGP signatures. See Debian's reproducible builds, for instance.

Here is some of the documentation from the SF court:

(There are more, contradictory instructions that they mail out with the ticket)

Their database of car registrations is not regularly synced with the DMV, so they routinely send citations to people that do not own the car in question.

There is no process for "the bureaucracy screwed up", so they won't accept a copy of the liability transfer reciept as proof you are no longer liable (nor will they simply contact the DMV).

Of course, since you have no idea what the new owner is up to, you can't provide the information required to contest the ticket.

At this point, things get progressively more bizarre.

"Lots of voters are convinced public health care is a disaster."

Maybe we could, I dunno, create a government run health care system to show everyone just how super-awesome healthcare can be when DC runs it. We need a demographic... hummm, how about retired military? We'll create a healthcare system for ex-military and their families, show everyone how well these things work, and then the public will be convinced that... oh, wait!

You are idealizing the reach of "spies". And no, an asset/source is not necessarily a "spy", and there is no incentive to become and stay a "mole".

Snowden never "infiltrated" the NSA. He got access to some data he shouldn't have had.

You also assume that the Russians didn't get the data, either before or after his flight.

This fits perfectly with the goal of shaking confidence in western democracy. For this it makes perfect sense to give the data to journalists and come up with a simple and untainted origin story. It doesn't mean that the data Snowden had didn't end up in the FSB's hand. It doesn't mean the data he had access to was more valuable to the FSB if not passed on to journalists.

The only way this theory doesn't fit is when viewed in light of simplistic notions of "Human Intelligence" methods, inspired by some bad spy movies. In reality, it's much more boring, and limited compromise of foreign assets seems the norm, rather than some super-spies becoming moles or double agents.

Ask HN: What really matters in career progression?
At my current company, regarding career progression it seems that not much else matters but development speed. Things like keeping up to date with new tech, continued learning, good engineering practices all seem to not matter much. These don't matter because the most senior engineerings are seen as the authority on these matters. In terms of promotions it's really all about speed.

So what really matters with career progression?

Not to discourage you, just to create realistic expectations: I'd be very surprised if you can learn and retain 1500 characters in a year with an hour a day, let alone 4500 characters (basically all you need) in 3 years with an hour a day, unless you're blessed with an excellent memory.

I suggest to temper your expectations, or budget more time.
Has Political Correctness Gone Off the Rails in America?
There are two parts to it. The seller notifies the state that they have sold the car, and the buyer has to register with the state that they bought the car. Taxes are due when the buyer registers with the state, so guess which part doesn't get done as often?

If the seller forgets to send in the sell notification and the buyer flakes out on registering the only person they know to pursue is the seller. Hopefully the seller has a signed bill of sale so they can point the finger further down the ownership chain.
"Parole" refers to any situation where someone is given some trust for a period of time before they are given complete trust. It usually refers to people who get out of prison but have to check in with a parole officer for a while, but in this case it refers to immigrants being allowed into the country but having to check in with DHS.

Your usage is actually correct. Which is great, considering many native English speakers get this one wrong. The heuristic we hear in school is something like "use 'affect' as a verb and 'effect' as a noun," which like many grammar heuristics is of course an oversimplification of reality. Usage of effect as a verb isn't super common in general conversation by native English speakers whereas I think most might choose to say something like "establish authority" instead in this case, but still your intention is still clear.

From the article:

> The problem is, radio jammers are very illegal in the UK. Deliberate interference—even in a theatre, cinema, library, or examination hall—is an offence under the Wireless Telegraphy Act and can land you in jail for a couple of years, and/or an unlimited fine.

Specific policy page from Ofcom: https://www.ofcom.org.uk/spectrum/radio-spectrum-and-the-law...

They are legal to use in prisons and have been since the passage of the Prisons (Interference with Wireless Telegraphy) Act 2012. https://services.parliament.uk/bills/2012-13/prisonsinterfer...

There's also an issue of EU law. 1999/5/EC, aka. "R&TTE", the Radio and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment Directive, makes it illegal to sell a mobile phone jammer in the EU marketplace. See the last section of https://web.archive.org/web/20140312031150/http://ec.europa....

I'm presuming that this rather ridiculous chief superintendent is suggesting that the law ought to be amended so that wi-fi (and perhaps cellular network) blockers affixed to those convicted of hacking-related offences would be permitted.

There's no reason Parliament couldn't do that if it decided to, even if the likelihood of Parliament and Ofcom agreeing to such an arrangement is highly improbable.

Also, a magical wi-fi and cell blocker that stops some teenage hacker hooking up to the Internet without affecting the people they run in to is going to be impossible to build. Good luck when someone co-opts said blocker to block police AirWave TETRA radio while doing their nefarious deeds over a long piece of Cat 5.

Part of me feels like if Apple has to allow apps outside of the app store, maybe they can then void your warranty. Like if you open up your computer and start installing parts on your own...

If you install a virus, etc it should be the user's fault for using a non trusted store. Why should Apple have to support somthing they didn't authorize?

I haven't seen a antivirus app ever featured on iOS, but on my Android devices I have... I thought it was kinda funny to install a antivirus on a phone or tablet in the first place - but I guess they are just computers in the end still and more to worry about when you leave them wide app.

Drug use is almost entirely victimless. This is well studied, researched, documented.

By definition a victimless crime involves consenting parties with no harm to outside parties. There can be situations where something does impact a non-consenting party, which is when it stops being victimless.

A litlle. Intonation and non verbal cues help a bit with disambiguation. Also, while pinyin can have tone markers, they are a pain to type and are often omitted.

They actively prevent developers from building their own app stores and competing with apple's own apps.

Bell telephone had a similar monopoly. They owned the phone lines and wouldn't allow any non-approved equipment connected.

Your view really depends on if you see the phone primarily as a platform for apps or as an "apple phone" with some apps as neat little add-ons.

Antitrust comes about when a company has a high enough market share AND uses this market share to bludgeon any competitions. Apple created a market, they own the method of distribution, and they actively use their position to prevent competition with their own products and stop alternative markets from forming. Much like Bell

The work 'think' in English can often represent something deeper, as in 'think as if to contemplate' - not just 'think of the children' or 'think about it'.

> AFAIU antitrust lawsuit triggers when you break an implicit agreement with customers i.e. breaking trust.

Incorrect. Antitrust occurs when you violate the laws regulating use of market power, which have little to do with customer trust ("trust", in this sense, refers to a monopoly, not to consumer trust in the firm.)
A few forums started with the communities of the readers of a blog. For example HN (and somewhat Reddit) started with the readers of the Paul Grahm blog. StackOverflow with the readers of JoelOnSoftare and CodingHorror. This has the important effect of setting the initial tone of the discussions of the site.

So my advise is to start an interesting blog about anime, wait 5 years, open the discussion forum and then make it a more general forum for anime. :)

I understand that you don't want to wait 5 years, but nevertheless, if you can try to write an interesting blog and send the discussion to your forum project.

Sometimes but not very often. The reason is that the rest of the words in the sentence together with the general situation is enough to make words unambiguous.

* American Red Cross || http://www.redcrossblood.org/give/drive/driveSearch.jsp

I had a family member in a near-fatal car accident a little over 12 years ago. It took a lot of blood to keep her alive, and I'm thankful for everyone who donated and made saving her life possible.

That said, donating blood takes time and effort, and some recovery time where you don't feel 100% for a day or so after -- so I have no problem with incentivized / compensated altruism.

He's just a cop, doing it his job bored and/or befuddled by a fairly complex line of reasoning.

He's probably just stating it as he sees it, possibly trying to avoid getting into trouble.

Anything he is doing, he's being required to do by someone above him.

Cops are also humans: he may be very well against the concept himself, but can't state it. Or he may be very well against it not for judicial reasons ... but for pragmatic reasons. People 'on the front lines' of justice often have a much more pragmatic view of it than others. The same applies to many fields.

The rich don't pay fewer taxes in absolute terms.

They may pay a lower percentage of taxes on wealth gains than middle class or upper middle class, due to being able to delay income realization, lower capital gains taxes, and other means that are more accessible to the rich than the middle class or the poor.

But rich people still tend to pay more taxes than less rich people.
Where are you getting your information? Because that's wrong. Google introduced turn-by-turn on Android and deliberately kept it out of iOS because they were trying to make Android more attractive. Google and Apple had an existing contract at that time, there were no terms to negotiate. And so when the contract did expire, Apple dropped Google Maps and introduced their own Apple Maps because Google had already demonstrated their willingness to screw over Apple.

The key question is that donating so frequently must be safe for the donor. If there's long term health implications then the firms have to coordinate if necessary to ensure donations are not made too frequently.

> The problem is, one day you make it easy for people to think it's ok to do 30 in a 25, then the next day they're doing 35, then 45 the next.

That sounds like the classic "slippery slope" logical fallacy. Traffic studies[1] have shown that changing speed limits do not really affect overall traffic speeds by all that much. What will change them are engineering methods that give indications to drivers that it's not safe to drive faster than X speed. So, posting a speed limit of 25 mph on a roadway that was previously posted at 45 mph without making any changes to the roadway itself isn't going to make much of a difference in terms of traffic speeds.
