The program dictates the punishment, not the law. The program can be secret and have no impact on the ability of the person to follow the law which remains public.
macOS also comes with emacs preinstalled. It's probable that fewer people install from Homebrew because they already have it.
Yes, here are suggestions in my annotated Brewfile: https://github.com/joelparkerhenderson/Brewfile
For a system to be affected, both chipset and CPU have to support vPro. For example, a PC with Core i7-7700 CPU and H270 chipset is not affected because only the CPU has support for vPro, but a PC with Core i7-7700 CPU and Q270 chipset is affected because both CPU and chipset have support for vPro.
Hang around in a place like r/bitcoin, and you'll find that criticism is often met with redirection toward fiat rather than having a legitimate discussion about how to address shortcomings.

I am very bothered by your comments and your smiley face. Please do not give incorrect and speculative investment advice. You have supplied zero evidence that the odds are better. They are very very likely not better. I apologize for my lack of humor. I find the issue serious right now.
Sure, you can't prevent your employees from leaving, but you can definitely structure the compensation so that they are highly incentivized to stay, which is what many companies do via stock grants with vesting periods.
Sadly, AMD PSP is no better. In fact it's worse in some ways — it is actually responsible for initializing the CPU. At least on some Intels you could work for 30 minutes with completely erased ME firmware.

Though the PSP concerns were very highly upvoted in Lisa Su's Reddit AMA, and the technical marketing employees said that they'll look into it. Hopefully they'll make it optional in their next products…
OK, but that's my claim. My claim is that you'd still rather have Crosby, because there's a much bigger talent gap between him and his hypothetical league-average replacement at center than between Lundqvist and a league-average goalie.
Can you share any benchmarks between the Clojure and Haskell Duckling? Do you have any between the two before you made algorithmic improvements to the Haskell implementation?

Glass Brain Gives Researchers a Window into the Mind
Interesting. So, AMT being a part of VPro might have warranted the inclusion of that term or the term 'Xeon' with a list of SKUs in the original advisory or something if they are affected. Right now it reads as if the server side is a-ok except for some rare beasts, so that's what I'm going on until there is evidence to the contrary.

I'm halfway tempted to call my sysadmin out of bed to check one of our systems that I'm quite sure has VPro to see if it is vulnerable. Fortunately my main server is an AMD Bulldozer box.

Regardless, if it runs AMT you should check it, VPro or not is really besides the point, it's AMT that is the problem, not VPro as such, which is just another marketing term for the ME and application suite if I understand it correctly, and if that were exploitable instead of 'just' AMT it would be much bigger (and worse) news.

But saying that all VPro enabled Xeons or even every Xeon is affected is needlessly alarmist.

Here is a wikipedia article on AMT:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_AMT_versions

If you look at the list of version you can see they all target Desktop and Mobile, no Xeons besides the one I listed earlier. The document you linked also explicitly states 'PC's', not 'servers', though it is definitely possible that some hosting facilities use (cheaper) desktops as servers.

I'm not sure I can, in good faith, agree with this. The bass is blown way out of proportion to the rest of the track, the highs powered up to compensate for the bass, and the mids are lost in the power struggle. And this is in Beats' flagship "Solo" line.

That description of the sound? It applies to pretty much every default set of headphones out there.

They're hardly unusable, but I would have a hard time justifying paying $15 for them. Then again, I wear Kirkland jeans and conference swag t-shirts, as a measure of my "fashion" factor.

I asked because I would guess that the vast majority of devices that are potentially affected are behind NAT, and they are likely to be safe from outside threats until one is introduced through users or some other hack.

Nowhere was it suggested that NAT was part of the security strategy... which you are right, is a very bad idea.
> In fact, according to a new report by the London venture capital firm Atomico, European startups are now taking the lead in artificial intelligence, building new tech hubs, and drawing investment from traditional industrial stalwarts.

That is incorrect. According to Atomico's 2016 report, Europe is behind US in number of artificial intelligence (machine learning and deep learning) startups (1252 vs 950 startups formed from 2014-2016), and percentage of startups funded (53% vs 43% startups funded from 2011-2016).

What is the network traffic for this management stuff? TCP? UDP? What ports? I presume just blocking it at the switch or router would be an approach to mitigation?

EDIT: from the PDF posted in another thread, looks like the Intel ME ports are 16992, 16993, 16994, 16995, 623, and 664.
The problem is that you can't really "think mathematically" without concise notation. Your brain won't hold the ideas.

The more that you get to stuff that you juggle around, the more that conciseness matters. So an important concept like "eigenvector" can have a lengthy name, but your vector is v, linear transform is T and the matrix representing the transform is M. Any other choice is actively harmful.

I remember reading about this a few years ago, and observed network activity using Facebook. They certainly did capture what you type but fail to post. I would put serious money on them mining that data, too, since it can reveal someone's true uncensored thoughts.
I wish that worked here. You'd have to establish an open source media group with direct hooks into the i* platform. Then you'd have to get major acts on that platform.

I find whenever I see one of these notices, I have no idea what the company was, what they were trying to do, how far they got. It's like a eulogy which only tells a bit about how the person died, but shares no information about what they accomplished or even aimed to accomplish in their lives.

This advice is also worth thinking about for anyone who builds -- or is tempted to build -- open-ended software tools.

I've often made the mistake of emphasizing exploratory UIs in situations where the reality is that >95% of users are looking for specific solutions, rather than the chance of dicking around with the generic toolset that I personally found captivating.

It's really hard to step back from "I want to share this exhilarating exploration with everyone!" to "I'll narrow this down to a specific use case, and leave the rest of the potential for another day."

Beyond mean reversion, selection could also be an explanation. Funds with the worst returns are the funds with the highest risk. And funds with the highest risk may have higher expected returns (all else equal). Of course, with this model, past winners would tend to outperform in addition to past losers.
Ask HN: need feedback on using Vultr VPS hosting for production?

Correct, not supported at the point of release, but its specs did strongly suggest it was factored into the hardware design.
This is a myth.

Not if you know what you are doing.

And, please, it isn't code it is a Hardware Description Language. We all use "code" for short but let's not lose sight of what it is.

Many people come to FPGA design treating the thing as software. It isn't software. It's a hardware design and it is a hardware description language. Maybe it helps that my work in electrical engineering predates FPGA's and even PAL/PLA's. In other words, I spent years designing "raw" electronics.

When typing Verilog I think about circuits not software and I don't make a lot of mistakes because the circuits are designed on paper before typing code. Code is the hardware description, not the design environment.

I find that older hardware engineers are far better at this. Younger engineers treat it like software and go into this crazy type->debug->type->debug cycle that simply isn't the way you design hardware. Decades ago you had to know your shit. You couldn't throw a bunch of chips at a board and have to redesign it due to simple mistakes. Again, it ain't software.

So, no, I have no issues with Verilog debugging. I can't remember any serious debugging events in, say, twenty years.

How is that more secure than letting me backup the private key in the first place?

> they knowingly sold their systems

Everyone who sells systems knowingly sells exploitable ones, unless the sellers are naive. Every system you and I deliver to our customers/users is exploitable.
If it had not been a complete and utter failure, the pitch deck would have been just another unremarkable example of marketing/PR fluffery, and wouldn't have been worth commenting on.

Doesn't look any different from media marketing I've seen for things that were successful.
The agent process is tricky to set up and persnickety, especially if you use the token for anything else besides SSH. At one point, before I tableflipped and switched back to software keys, I had to switch agent processes any time I used my Y4 to sign into a VPN.

The theater is that you're protecting a key but not the account the key protects. Yes, you'll never lose the actual RSA key bits to an attacker. But that'll be cold comfort after an attacker uses a hijacked SSH process to compromise every account you log into.

There's some value to the Y4 SSH key, don't get me wrong. It's just much less value than you'd expect from all the ceremony.
> That's quite different from how most VCs invest at any level. Most VCs are trying very hard to be right while making very few bets that are fairly large relative to their fund. And as the Kaufman report shows, that doesn't work. Most of those VCs are failing to show ROI to their LPs.

Sequioa, Accel, Kleiner, and NEA for example have all made a similar amount of (or more) investments in startups than YC. I think it's a bit of a stretch to say that YC is more comfortable than most VC firms. You just don't hear about the other ones' failures because they're less publicized.
