No, the model of the iPhone the FBI wanted to access didn't have the Secure Enclave.
What classes? This is C not C++ or C#.

I don't dispute that one can use C for class based coding but it isn't common.
No they won't. No one wants to use clunky non touch optimized windows desktop apps on a tablet. Besides, UWP was a failure.

I think they would argue they are in compliance and actually give you credit for bringing your own box. They are instead charging for an extra endpoint that you can use to watch TV. That would traditionally be an extra $9.99 for an extra box, but will be $7.49 if you are using a Roku.

Yes, building works well. But how do you run your application?

This is a very tricky and interesting subject.

A black man being tried by an all white jury who are presumed to be his "peers" is often viewed as a racist miscarriage of justice.

Many would take the position that for a trial of a black man to be really just the jury should have some black jurors on it. Some may even go so far as to say that only an all-black jury could ever be fully comprised of that man's peers.

But how far should this be taken? Perhaps the black jurors, though they share the defendant's skin color, are in a completely different socio-economic class. Maybe the defendant is poor, uneducated, and from the inner-city, while the jurors are all wealthy and educated, and grew up in the suburbs. Or vice versa. How much does the defendant really have in common with the jury? Are they really his peers?

Often juries are supposed to be randomly selected from members of the community. The assumption is that if they're from the same community, they are peers. But what if the defendant has little to nothing in common with their community? Would their judgment of the defendant be informed or fair?

But if that's not fair, how much like the defendant should the jurors be?

Should homosexuals only be tried by other homosexuals? Heterosexuals only by other heterosexuals? Pedophiles only by other pedophiles? Drug users only by other drugs users? Murderers only by other murderers? Christians only by Christians? Whites only by whites? Blacks only by blacks? Politicians only by other politicians? Judges only by other judges? Police only by police?

This seems like a poor curriculum rather than an actual flaw in philosophy, without the logic framework philosophy is just the history of ideas. If taught in a manner similar to math, where you learn logic tools and then build on top of them over time, I would expect similar and overlapping development.
> No one invented "support dwindles" comments when Obana's popularity was scraping rock bottom.

Yes, they did. I mean, just googling "Obama support dwindles" falsifies that claim (even if a lot of the early hits are about Clinton in the last election); there's quite a lot from the right doing just what you claim no one did, foing back to at least 2010 in what I get on the first two pages of results.
I always saw philosophy and maths as the same. Philosophy is what math and logic especially looks like when you're using words instead of leibnitz notation and other modern notations.

I mean, howdo you explain modus ponens without the notation? You say that not A and not B is the same as not A or B. And that's a poor transpilation from math notation to words. What if you never saw the math notation and had to use regular words?

And then to spell out the proof? Oof
Based on your comment I'm going to assume you've never taken a mathematics course above Calculus. Anything beyond that is the absolute antithesis of "memorized facts and formulas".

I'm a noob builder (constructed my first pedal a week ago, woo) but I can kinda understand this. Most effects tend to overdrive their components. This by definition means that they operate beyond what a datasheet and the manufacturer specifies. Tiny differences that aren't noticeable when going by the specs can become much more obvious when hearing it overdriven.

Yes, the community is really based in "older is always better" kind of mentality, but there is a reason some old components are so valued, and why respected pedal manufacturers commonly hand-pick parts that meet their designed specs best (especially fuzz and overdrive effects), and this includes everything from picking transistors with ideal leakage etc, to hand picking resistors (though the resistor bit I'm not sure on why they don't just buy high precision ones for a few cents more)
Good pickup. Haha I'd an "eternal" pump would be handy.
There was a version of it for Windows 8 as well. I was completing the chain for anyone curious about application lineage that wasn't opposed to Windows 8+.
This is really cool! But the compression quality of MPEG1 is really nowhere close to h264.

If you're interested in this sorta thing, try taking a look at Broadway JS: https://github.com/mbebenita/Broadway

Here's a simple demo page they have setup: http://mbebenita.github.io/Broadway/foxDemo.html

Its entirely possible to use WebSockets to stream H264 to a browser and decode using broadway, and the performance is pretty good, even on mobile.

Passwords have only been protected by the 5th amendment when ownership of the electronic account/device is unproven.
Not the OP, but my country runs a similar system. Each election station counts the ballots by hand. Anyone can signup for counting and/or watch the counting. It's mostly reps from all participating parties. Sometimes few independent citizens show up as well. After all people in the station agree on their total count (they can recount if needed), they phone in their numbers to the central station.

Raw numbers of each station are available publicly. The people who did the counting can check if their numbers were transmitted correctly. Parties usually have preliminary results from their people at stations way before the centralised system processes & publicises them. They'd easily spot any issues. Paper ballots are stored in secured bags and can be recounted if there is a need.
Not sure that there's actual conclusive proof that the phishing attack on Podesta's gmail account was in fact carried out by an entity affiliated with the Russian government.
All of the other accusations that I've heard along the lines of russian hackers hacking into the actual "election hw/sw" were laughable.

Funny thing is this alleged hacking was [supposedly] one of the reasons for demanding recounts in the states narrowly won by Trump and the only actual hard evidence discovered was "pro-Clinton discrepancies" in Detroit at which point the recount in the state of Michigan was stopped :)
How safe are usb wall adapters from China?
I'm looking to source some usb wall adapters on aliexpress and am wondering about the safety of these plugs since I've read articles saying they can potentially catch on fire.

I'm looking to use the usb wall adapater to power a nodemcu/arduino so power consumption is pretty low.

The adapters are something like this:

Yes, I think it all comes down to what copyright actually is. Is it the words on the paper, or the ideas behind them?
Link to which Gyroscope you mean? It's a very general search term and I haven't come across a service named that otherwise.

In any case, I doubt so, or it doesn't even matter. Nothing in the world is really so unique, and especially app ideas on the internet. It's not a new idea to make an infographic style poster from data, so who's ripping off whom?
In my experience if one can edit config files on a system, one has room to install a minimal C compiler. And one can distribute things in a binary form even if the config requires compilation. Consider distributing an application as a library or object files when the target machine needs to compile and link only the config file.
I have also used this for fraudulent threatening debt.

My grad school was trying to charge me for a semester I did not attend which was ridiculous considering I was getting a research stipend for much more than my tuition in my comp sci PhD program. Every year or so they would start harassing me again, when the supervisor trick stopped working, I threatened multiple law suits and contacting the State Attorney General and I haven't heard from them again.

> They're creative, rather arbitrary designs.

Which isn't relevant. Harry Potter is a creative work, including the character names, but the page numbers those characters appear on are not.

Similarly, Java is a creative work, and maybe even the interfaces are "creative" in that they aren't totally determined by the domain. But after the fact they're just a listing of resources, like a list of characters in a book.

Nobody is trying to say that "Dumbledore" isn't property of JKR, but everyone agrees we can discuss him and his characteristics. We can flip to pages where he appears, etc.

The court got bamboozled on this one.

> And applying that reasoning to code leads to the weird result that the "functional aspects" of all code (not just APIs) should not be copyrightable.

Right. You can't copyright the concept of adding one to another number, nor the code. You're copying the C-lang spec, not inventing "x++" yourself.

In the mix with creative elements, the work as a whole is granted protection that isn't available to the parts. Nobody says JKR owns "wizard", or the concept of wizards at boarding school, despite owning the copyright on her book about wizards at boarding school.
Thousands of programmer years went in to Win10, and the most positive comment on it is "It's perfectly tolerable if you turn off all that stuff they added."

This should be in the dictionary to illustrate the phrase "Damning with faint praise."

Exactly, you can even have the same application as a snap and a deb. PATH resolution will call the first one defined in your environment but that can be obviously be changed and when you are happy with the snap-only offering you can remove the deb if necessary (or visa-versa).
Khan Academy can get you pretty far, if you like going through the remedial stuff then you can even take the quizzes to get "Mastery" in various subjects like Algebra, Trig, I think Calculus too. But I'd love something else that is more adaptive and gives you exercises and education as you go. As a hobbyist one of the hardest part is figuring out where to jump in so you're neither bored nor overwhelmed.
I loved Python when I learned it back in college. That was around Python 2.3/2.4. I said back then (while doing mostly C++) that Python should be the base language for CS101 at the University level. It was much easier to work with as opposed to the nuances of C++ compilers at the time.

My biggest dream is the ability to have a cross platform Mobile App/Web App ecosystem. Something that you can use from any device with a virtually equal experience. Not so easy at the moment, especially for things that need to be charged for... app store fees are way to big in my opinion. /rant

There are different ways to discover stuff. Powershell itself clearly proves that it can be done on system level without any GUI whatsoever.

We had the "ease of use" in GUI paradigm for decades and it didn't hold. Why don't you give it a chance as a text ?
Are you confusing VSCode with Visual Studio? VSCode is not an IDE, it's an editor, much like Atom.
And, a lot of the content that is watched "not on TV" is still produced by the same people that produce "TV". So, it's TV.
There's no doubt that the school I went wins over students and their 70K/year with a reputation of being a 'party school'.

And there's no doubt that it could not have this reputation with more lenient policing than you'll see anywhere else. Certainly moreso than the policing in the inner city ghetto a mile away.

I've seen campus police consistently do nothing over drug possession issues that would, without question get jail time anywhere else in the city.

The dissonance is disturbing to me.
Thanks! Great questions

1) We actually work with CloudFlare/CloudFront etc if companies are already using them. In that case, we sit in between CloudFlare and your origin webserver. But if you don't already have a CDN in front of your website, our SEO CDN goes in front of your origin webserver, and we use AWS so as far as Google is concerned it looks like AWS. We also use different IPs for every customer.

2) We don't do cloaking - we're essentially testing somewhat small tweaks across groups of similar pages, and seeing if they have any impact on clicks or rankings. It is preferred if the pages remain largely the same, but they don't have to be totally untouched.
It only "makes sense" from the perspective that users are not allowed to have zero set top boxes from the provider themselves. And that's because the cable companies fought FCC's proposal to allow any set top box to act as the main set top box.

My point is, the same people who now use Roku likely don't want the Comcast box. They want to use Roku as the one and only box, but Comcast charges them "for having two", even though they leave these customers no choice but to use two since the first one is mandatory.

Saatchi Art | Santa Monica, CA | Fulltime, ONSITE

Saatchi Art (https://www.saatchiart.com) is the world's leading online art gallery, a global marketplace where artists in over 100 countries have sold to collectors in 80 countries!

We are currently looking to hire software engineers that possess solid CS fundamentals, are fluent with design patterns, and will dive in fearlessly to any part of our complex stack as necessary. The number of years of work experience matter less to us than the complexity of what you have been recently doing.

Specifically for our Sr. Front End position, we want someone with production-level React/Redux/Webpack experience, and expert-level HTML, CSS and javascript.

Specifically for our Sr. Backend position, we are looking for folks with PHP (Laravel), SQL (mysql), and NoSQL (Couchbase, MongoDB) experience. Async programming experience is a definite plus, as is experience with configuration management tools (Puppet/Chef/Ansible), Docker, and AWS.

Our engineering team is a small tight knit bunch of talented developers who care deeply about our craft and work everyday to better ourselves at it while iteratively building product features that make it easier for artists and collectors to connect across geographies and cultures.

Your work will have a direct impact on the livelihoods of people who might otherwise not have had the opportunity to share their works across the globe, every single day.

Check out our site, then hit me (Chris) up at careers@saatchiart.com if you want to know more.
The concepts you deal with in philosophy are vague, the challenge is to provide very precise analysis of these vague (fuzzy?) concepts.

But yeah I don't think one is better than the other. Each provide value.

I would actually claim that to live your best life, be an engineer. They seem to me at least to be living in that sweet-spot between the abstract, creative and the concrete.
"The students showed they will not tolerate her hate speech..."

1) Milo is male.

2) As the university's chief of police says in the article, she does not believe students were involved in the vandalism.

and 3) What qualifies this as "hate speech"?

I wake up around 5am, have a cup of English breakfast, and read the news or whatever code I'm interested in at the moment. From 7am - 8am I work out, then head into work all happy and full of endorphins, prepare second cup of tea, and write a list of three specific micro-tasks I want to accomplish that day.

The difference back in the years of old between running a Linux Server and running a Windows Server is one was GUI based and one is text based. I prefer text based a thousand times over. GUI is fine for single use but for text files it is a simple softlink and git away from having everything the same everywhere.

I use VS Code in three locations in three different OS and I love how it works the same everywhere because I just have text files.
This is a problem with Sublime Text too. Don't bother putting comments in your settings file, or rearranging its contents. One hit of Ctrl-minus, even by accident, and your config file is wiped out and replaced with an auto-generated one, which incidentally contains your updated font size. You're welcome.

I run - using the word very loosely - Win 10 on a mid-spec 8GB Dell Laptop. It's literally unusably slow. Opening File Manager takes many minutes.

This is practically a fresh install. I have Office 365 installed, but very little else. I don't even have a mail client set up.

I dual-boot to Ubuntu on the same machine, and the latter is perfectly usable.
It's too early to evaluate AI nanodegree as it has just started and so far we did Sudoku solver ;-) As for ML, I have it on my mind after SDC & AI, though already took Ng's first run of ML one so I am not sure it would be that beneficial.

So far SDC is the best fun I had in a while, getting a car drive all by itself on a circuit feels absolutely cool! ;-) Have fun as well, I hope they have more cool stuff prepared for us!
Sure I agree, but remember, parent was wondering "if inmates have access to computers, would they become good programmers?"
By "They were just in-sufficiently cautious legally, possibly un-surprising given Carmack's prior history in founding Id software" you mean the story of how Carmack left SoftDisk and did work for Apogee (on Softdisk computers after hours using a key technique he developed at SoftDisk) and started Id (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Id_Software#History)?

Thanks for mentioning that; I had forgotten that little nugget of history -- it does show this wasn't Carmack's first rodeo at this kind of employer/tech transition.

We have to consider several variables here. Sample size is a function of Google's crawl rate on your site, the number of pages you have, and the amount of traffic you receive.
Important to note that this is a legal theory, that is not yet backed up by precedent or statute! The police have successfully compelled password disclosure many times.
I agree with you, although you were wrong about that specific Apple case. I don't trust "secure enclave" because it would be too easy for a TLA to infiltrate the chip foundry and backdoor the silicon. they can literally print money, circumvent the constitution using secret courts/NSL's, their resources are infinite. what would stop them from doing this ?

Even if you couldn't infiltrate the chip foundry, you could order a bunch of the chips, reverse engineer them, and in a few months, ship a duplicate with a neutered "enclave". Then interdict the shipment to the phone manufacturer (this isn't tinfoil, it's been done) and "supply" them with your version of the "secure enclave". There's no limit to this cat and mouse game.
