That's really neat! Thanks for sharing!
Uh, no. Many physicists don't like the now-discontinued X-ray backscatter machines, but the mm wave devices are not ionizing radiation. Some guy explained why non-ionizing radiation isn't a problem in 1905; won the Nobel Prize for it, too.
One part that is different and really irritates me - some places allow products to be advertised at a price excluding taxes. Include the tax in the price always, no other value is relevant to me.
Encrypted drives can be opened without the password. Difficulty varies of course, but it can be done (e.g. iPhone).
You're right, it's just the EU. I fixed my comment.

The point is their technology is terrible and they are easy to defeat, as has been proven many many times.

They are security theater and they were only put in place because the guy in charge of what scanners were allowed at US airports happened to have a financial interest in the company that made the millimeter wave scanner.

> $900M out of $10B is 9%.

The $10B is spread across 200 people.

His personal net worth at the time of his death was about $3.3 billion according to <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Rockefeller>. But it's hard to compare that to the $900 million number because that number adds dollars from different time periods, which are worth different amounts. This is especially important if any of it happened in the 60s or early 70s, given the subsequent high inflation.

Also, that $900 million number doesn't seem to include the bequests in his will.

And I suspect he did in fact pay taxes too.

Now, I agree that it's easier to give money away when you have so much you don't really need it for anything. So I'm not sure about giving out trophies for doing so.
I just started SICP today and am using this source. I have no idea what I'm getting myself into but am looking forward to it.
JetBlue codeshares with Emirates, who flies to Dubai. JetBlue is a relatively small, mostly domestic airline without any widebody planes.

American doesn't fly to any Middle Eastern cities but they partner with both Etihad and Qatar, who do.
On the other hand, installing simple "retro-reflector" bugs for future use is a possibility.

The science is still out on whether it's harmful or not. I got TSA pre so I can just avoid it, but before that I always opted out.
The only thing that I find great about Go is the fact that you can write, normal, imperative, blocking-io-like code dealing with about anything (network, file, any io) and get a service that can handle 10k concurrent connections without thinking much about it. If D could do the same, no matter if through language support, or a library it would be really awesome. Note: it seems to me, currently D's fibers require manual `yield`. The entire point is not to have to do it.
This definitely seems promising for what I'm looking for. Thanks!
FWIW, D's @nogc makes it easy to trap code that allocates accidentally.

It changes the context from titillating to, well, watching an animated movie that involves a snake demon. Sure, workplaces may still frown on it, but it's still probably much more acceptable than looking at a topless human woman.
If I'm reading things correctly (IANAL, so it's very possible that I am not), it seems like there's not a lot of consensus. Some rulings say that the court can't compel you to disclose or use a password. Others say that per the Fifth Amendment it can't compel you to reveal "the contents of your mind", but can compel you to produce the protected items without disclosing the password, as those are covered by the Fourth Amendment rather than the Fifth. Yet others say that this is all bullshit and a password is merely a component of a mechanism, legally no more privileged than a physical key used to lock a file cabinet or storage room.
Size would be fairly small, but the lifetime would be at least 8 months. Thanks for the suggestion!
"...LOCKED CONTAINERS - AN OVERVIEW: John P. Besselman Senior Legal Instructor

Law enforcement students often ask the question “can I search a locked container?” A better question to ask may be “when can I search a locked container?” The fact that a container is locked may not increase the possessor owner’s expectation of privacy but does limit the law enforcement officer’s access to the secured area. The ability to search a locked container will depend on the justification the law enforcement officer has for intruding into the area. The purpose of this article is to examine the different legal avenues a law enforcement officer can use to search locked containers. ..."

I beg to differ, in the most strenuous terms. I've designed the web app, flowcharted the behavior, and even used fiverr to get a woman with a lovely british accent to record all the voice feedback. I am extremely proud of what I've built, and I show it to everyone who visits.

One of the components of my system is a computer that can literally do 90% of the functions I want, but I'm just using it as a dumb proxy.

Sadly that's not how the justice system usually works. Investigators put together worst case scenario and find some facts that support their hypothesis (this document). Like everyone else he will settle and probably spend a few months in jail and pick up garbage on the freeway for 6 months, whether he did it or not. It's usually not worth the risk of losing in court
The theory is that we involuntarily cry under certain conditions, to leave physical evidence of those conditions later.

So one answer to your question is that you never know if someone will come by and look at your face in a few minutes.
But it's still just famous because it's used in a humorous context. When I think of all of the combinations of those clips I've seen, I think of them in a funny way, not a bad way.

Maybe those clips are really offensive to some people, in which case they would be infamous to the offended.
I can say that I was required to use one to get back into the U.S. while transiting through Schiphol back in October 2013. No opt out, just the scanner and "I'm not forcing you to fly today - you can stay here." Pretty rude, too.

Since then, I always transit through Heathrow. It's a logistical nightmare with all those buses, but they've never coerced me to go through a scanner. Those biometric checkpoints, on the other hand...

I disagree. Voters can be supportive of free trade.

We already do it within the US. Items shipped out of state aren't taxed. It promotes trade and development.

Maybe those hormones are in emotional tears because that's what's in the blood at the time, same as breast milk containing alcohol if you've imbibed recently.

In other words, tears reflect the body's hormones rather than influencing them.
The argument made in the article is that it's a "foregone conclusion" that there's child porn on the drives, so decrypting them isn't self-incriminating because they already know what's on the drive.

That said, personally I don't buy it. What if there's evidence of other illegal acts on the drive too, ones the police don't know about? Then decrypting the drive would definitely be incriminating because it would tell police about the other illegal stuff, stuff which fails the "foregone conclusion" test.
SICP is the one text I wish I'd known about when studying computer science at uni. When I finally discovered and read it, it was a truly eye-opening experience and revolutionised the way I thought about tackling problems and designing software. It may have been around for a while, but the ideas presented still hold water today.

As others have mentioned, the linked version has some definite improvements over the web version provided by MIT Press [0], which doesn't have particularly clear diagrams.

In fact, MIT Press does have an alternative version with larger diagrams [1], but the footnote links don't work.

Do also check out the 1986 Abelson and Sussman lectures [2] that accompany the text. Those two present the course in such an interesting and (dare I say it) fun way.

And for those who have already watched that and are curious, I've recently uploaded a 2004 version of the lectures to YouTube [3]. They're sourced from the SICP iCampus site [4], which is another fantastic resource, though I find the way that site presents the lectures to be a bit annoying. Completing the problem sets is a good way to check your understanding, though!

Cook Ting was cutting up an ox for Lord Wen-hui. At every touch of his hand, every heave of his shoulder, every move of his feet, every thrust of his knee - zip! zoop! He slithered the knife along with a zing, and all was in perfect rhythm, as though he were performing the dance of the Mulberry Grove or keeping time to the Ching-shou music.

"Ah, this is marvelous!" said Lord Wen-hui. "Imagine skill reaching such heights!"

Cook Ting laid down his knife and replied, "What I care about is the Way, which goes beyond skill. When I first began cutting up oxen, all I could see was the ox itself. After three years I no longer saw the whole ox. And now - now I go at it by spirit and don't look with my eyes. Perception and understanding have come to a stop and spirit moves where it wants. I go along with the natural makeup, strike in the big hollows, guide the knife through the big openings, and follow things as they are. So I never touch the smallest ligament or tendon, much less a main joint.

"A good cook changes his knife once a year-because he cuts. A mediocre cook changes his knife once a month-because he hacks. I've had this knife of mine for nineteen years and I've cut up thousands of oxen with it, and yet the blade is as good as though it had just come from the grindstone. There are spaces between the joints, and the blade of the knife has really no thickness. If you insert what has no thickness into such spaces, then there's plenty of room - more than enough for the blade to play about it. That's why after nineteen years the blade of my knife is still as good as when it first came from the grindstone.

"However, whenever I come to a complicated place, I size up the difficulties, tell myself to watch out and be careful, keep my eyes on what I'm doing, work very slowly, and move the knife with the greatest subtlety, until - flop! the whole thing comes apart like a clod of earth crumbling to the ground. I stand there holding the knife and look all around me, completely satisfied and reluctant to move on, and then I wipe off the knife and put it away."

"Excellent!" said Lord Wen-hui. "I have heard the words of Cook Ting and learned how to care for life!"
epoll and read are different calls though, expecting them to behave the same when they have very different uses is weird to me.

If it is a bug, then why does the man page call out this case, and other cases with dup and dup2 as use cases? Was the man page edited after the fact to cover up the bug? If so why not change how it works?

I really disagree calling something somebody finds surprising a bug, even more so when the man page covers the "surprising" behaviour.

Edit:

Something was bugging me so I checked it out myself. You are actually wrong. and read does work the same way epoll works. If if you dup your fd, launch a pthread that will wait a while and then close the fd, and then start your blocking read call on the fd. If the thread closes your original fd while the read is active you will not get a EOF, and you will continue to receive data from the server. Only using the FD to a system call after the fd has been closed will generate an error.

This is very much what we are seeing with epoll. We pass a fd to a system call. It is now doing its thing. We then close the fd, and are now surprised that the system call has no clue what you are talking about? The thing to remember there is a table from FD to file (or description). That table is how we talk to the kernel about files. If that table is missing a entry it won't know what file we are talking about.
Keep you busy at CBP, keep the bag from the belt when you first land... plenty of opportunities to physically attack the device when the person can't keep it on them and keep an eye on it.

That's not what he said. He wrote:

It's a good question.
You would need something more sophisticated that produced innocuous, but believable, data when given the distress key. Still criminal though.
No project like this will ever come in on time and on budget. If only because these sorts of projects actively select against realistic project estimates. It's just like the software world. Unless management is particularly enlightened (and the State of New York certainly is not), people who promise unrealistic deadlines will be rewarded while people who make realistic promises will be punished.
You left out the important part of that sentence:

Your luggage is not with you from the beginning. And the carry on is definitely checked in connecting flights depending on the airport. HK and New Delhi used to have it up to two years ago. Unless they recently changed it.

Basically every wheel has been reinvented (usually worse than the thing they're trying to replace) multiple times, just because.

On the front end every tool now relies on and is installed by npm/nodejs and will require 90 other packages, and will be replaced yet again in 6 months time.

Basically, web developers got sick of "they're not real programmers, they just write scripts" and made their own ridiculous tool chains to solve problems they themselves created.

Edit: forgot to add, every developer who knows what bash is feels like they're a qualified system admin now because aws has an api so ops staff are no longer required.

I don't see U.S. (or any) elected officials, including Congress and the White House, making better decisions. All have made atrocious decisions.

The argument in the parent is well-worn, but it fails serious consideration if it ignores the facts that the U.S. courts interpret laws made by the elected officials, that the judges are appointed by elected officials, that their unelected status is established by elected officials and a national referendum (i.e., the votes that established the Constitution), and the reasons for their unelected status.
Yes, I love this idea as well.

Some discussion overlooks that this is a special case:

... the appeals court, like the police, agreed that the presence of child porn on his drives was a "foregone conclusion." The Fifth Amendment, at its most basic level, protects suspects from being forced to disclose incriminating evidence. In this instance, however, the authorities said they already know there's child porn on the drives, so Rawls' constitutional rights aren't compromised.

The Philadelphia-based appeals court ruled:

Forensic examination also disclosed that Doe [Rawls] had downloaded thousands of files known by their "hash" values to be child pornography. The files, however, were not on the Mac Pro, but instead had been stored on the encrypted external hard drives. Accordingly, the files themselves could not be accessed.

The court also noted that the authorities "found [on the Mac Book Pro] one image depicting a pubescent girl in a sexually suggestive position and logs that suggested the user had visited groups with titles common in child exploitation." They also said the man's sister had "reported" that her brother showed him hundreds of pictures and videos of child pornography. All of this, according to the appeals court, meant that the lower court lawfully ordered Rawls to unlock the drives.
> They are security theater and they were only put in place because the guy in charge of what scanners were allowed at US airports happened to have a financial interest in the company that made the millimeter wave scanner.

Yup. I have been to many airports in Africa and SE Asia that have only a metal detector, manned by someone who barely cares enough to stand there, and no one has successfully committed an act of terrorism (a la 9/11) with a plane due to it.

Also when I was traveling in Japan, they had machines that could scan the contents of your water bottle so you didn't have to empty it or throw it away while going through security.

I'm mildly convinced other countries don't have this because the beverage industry can sell more water/soda you're forced to throw it away when you go through security.

I've also stopped arguing about going through the machines. I know they do nothing, but it's not worth the hassle security employees give you to opt out. Just stand there, knowing it's pointless, and move on.
I've yet to come across a TLA+-specific job title, although would love to be surprised. Usually it's the same people writing the spec, or engineers who produce a TLA+ spec from a provided informal-language spec.
I fail to see a competitive edge for this company? If providing uncapped internet is profitable at those rates, can't the existing telecom providers just start offering uncapped plans? That renders the whole point of this company moot.
I think this plane was intended to go down in Lake Huron, but the pilot blew his gas calculation. It's a very common wheeze, for those who want to disappear and start a new life, to "drown at sea," with their boat being found but their body never being found (because they're now in Mexico on the beach.) This usually allows the "widow" to declare death and eventually get the life insurance payout (or just mask the escape.) It's at least mildly clever to substitute a light plane for the boat, but not more than mildly clever.

There's a whole book out there about people who arrange their own disappearance, that I read long ago; the boat trick was cited as being a ridiculously common method.

Here's hoping the pilot doesn't meet the pilot of Malaysian flight MH370 on that Mexican beach.
What's the rationale for watching the underlying file description instead of the fd?
That's why in old scifi movies everyone wears jumpsuits on spaceships, makes getting through security much faster.
My bet would be to up the sentence. Go from 2 counts of CP to 200 - 5 years in jail to life sentence.

Can you be compelled to provide something that you don't have access to? Were anyone else in this situation, wouldn't it be plausible to simply claim you don't know that password?
> Compare this to the API of FreeBSD's kqueue - it is another solution to avoid the linear costs of select()/poll(), but instead of making a syscall for registering/unregistering each new FD, kevent() is called with a list of FDs that you want to change. So an event loop using kqueue consists of just one syscall per loop.

It would be simple enough to add a version of epoll_ctl that took array arguments, but the existing epoll_ctl makes a lot of sense for the most common use cases.

You either know all the descriptors ahead of time or you don't. If you do then you can add them all on startup and never touch it again, and one-time costs usually aren't worth optimizing. If you don't then you're usually modifying them one at a time anyway.

And if the syscall takes them one at a time then you don't have to worry about maintaining the state yourself or memory management based on how many descriptors you have or anything like that.
In Europe, you don't leave the rich to their own benevolence. It's much worse. By and large, European countries have laws forbidding the rich from donating too much of their money to charity, especially upon their deaths. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced_heirship for a pretty bare-bones description of the setup. https://www.cesifo-group.de/ifoHome/facts/DICE/Public-Sector... has more details by country; see the "Restrictions on the freedom to dispose of one’s succession by will" section.

Under these laws, heirs have been able to claw back donations made before death (including many years before death), in addition to ones made in the will. Note that if you accept the premise of the forced heirship laws, this is an obvious consequence; otherwise people will just structure their finances to make most of the donations they want before they die.

Anyway, the upshot is that the European legal system takes great pains to make sure that currently wealthy families stay wealthy instead of managing to give the money away. It's just not talked about much, and I suspect many people don't really know about it.
It's one of those books you will come back to every three to four years and appreciate with new eyes each time.
