Not even close to the actual intelligence structure. The nsa doesn't have to answer to dod at ALL.

Hurr durr the military is the state, you have no clue what you're talking about. I served for 6 years doing naval intelligence, sigint, and we never once heard from nsa, cia, fbi, etc. All our orders came from one of two generals in charge of our task force.

Nuclear subs night have to work with intel agencies for technical purposes, but I never served on one.
I'm from NL, and we had MH17 in 2014 (just for completion sake: the plane took off from Amsterdam, and crashed in Eastern Europe). More people died in that plane crash (298), than the amount of deaths from terrorism in that year or in 2015.

The goal of terrorism is not merely killing people though.

OP desired to keep his Google associated email and non Google associated phone number separate, and behaved as such. That's a very reasonable thing to want and do.

But Google used OP's friend's phone, bought from them, to surreptitiously acquire the connection between his email address and phone number.

That was against OP's desire, and his friend never explicitly agreed to provide that information. I fully understand why he would be upset.

Sonic.net customer here. Why I give them my money:

1) https://corp.sonic.net/ceo/ The company is politically outspoken and well aligned with the interests of its customers.

2) Their customer service is actually knowledgeable, empowered and downright pleasant to engage with. The only frustration I've had is whenever they've had to delegate work to AT&T.
A good thought, and in most states, it would be your Constitutional right to do so. However, carrying a weapon is likely to attract additional attention and there's a good chance you'd wind up dead. You're going against a foreign military trained force, and they're probably not used to seeing a normal citizen exercise their civil liberties in such a way. I think peaceful assembly is probably the best approach, and leaving immediately if anyone (protestor or police) incites violence.
I have been looking for a house to buy in SF for the last 6 months. What's been very interesting is that most of the houses we have reviewed, did not have solid foundations (many being 2-unit condos). They are all located in liquefaction zones and the disclosure packages mentioned the foundations had cracks (or needed retrofitting). Still, buyers did not care and bid huge amount of money. Our estate agent told us the average buyer does not take that into consideration nor care to retrofit the foundation. Scary.
Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking of and why I had to reread the original post twice. The 68020+ was perhaps crazier than the VAX. The last two variants you mentioned were called preindexed and postindexed mode.
I wrote a few hundred thousands of lines of 68000 code, but much less for 68020+. Those were the days!

That's a long way from 500,000 orders placed.

At least this part should be tractable to avoid any future leaks. What sort of hacking are you dealing with ? Is it actually hacking, or more like social engineering ? What OS, devices etc. ? There will be a lot of advice on hardening the security of devices that people will be able to offer.
Paypal eventually always pays out, I've yet to hear of a confirmed case where they eventually did not pay out though they can hold on to the money for an unreasonably long time.

All the cases that I'm personally familiar with the money eventually turned up. In some cases this took 6 months.

That doesn't excuse them but they do have some responsibilities, especially since here in the EU they are seen as a bank and have a Luxembourgian banking license.

Maybe it was an exaggeration from my part with the heaps of money. I don't do budgets, I write software, but I've seen the price the parts we're building come with and I have an ideea what it's worth. I just feel that the way they approach the problem is very inefficient, they could do things better cheaper, more reliable if they had a better approach, but thye don't and I feel, compared to other markets, the presults are very expensive relative to what they deliver.
> This exploit seems to lie at the intersection of several things that I guess might indicate a higher-than-average risk of exploitability: shared memory, special provisions for debugging access to running processes, complicated and unintuitive (if not broken) semantics, and concurrency.

For clarity: I mentioned the 386 addressing modes because fundamentally the ModRM encoding was designed to address the same code generation problem: efficiently encoding one instruction to compute base-plus-offset (-plus-immediate too) in addressing memory. This avoids having to compute an address first for what is one of the most common operations in application code. As it happened, Intel's trick was the better idea. Motorola's original register design was fine but not as good, the '020 madness didn't survive contact with the RISC pipeline.

The most successful business created industries for themselves. In ollieparanoid's case, he's creating a secure and supported OS that runs on any phone, and when you consider that 90% of phones are missing a secure and supported OS, then that market is pretty huge. If this works then his OS dominates any old, unsupported phone.

People don't care about open source and sustainability but they care a lot about not being hacked and having a phone that runs, and runs fast.
Second, it unfairly vilifies an entire group of people.

How? If someone wins the lottery, obviously it isn't vilifying them to say that it was predominantly luck. If someone by chance invests in a mining company that the very next day discovers a rich deposit in a mine though played out, is it vilifying the investor to praise their luck? The author believes that most great wealth is attributable to luck. You can argue that this is not true. But if it is true, it's certainly not vilifying anyone to make the suggestion.

And finally, it allows people to feel good about doing little.

No, it allows people to feel good about not being rich. It also makes them less likely to blindly worship the wealthy. Human beings are, on the whole, naturally productive. They want to contribute, and feel needed. It's human nature. It's not like everyone will suddenly sit on their hands if we were to find out that becoming rich is mostly luck. Not getting cancer is mostly luck too, but that doesn't mean people don't take prudent measures to reduce their risk.

Never heard of Wireguard before, but it looks really cool, especially the mosh-like roaming. However, I found this warning on their website.

WireGuard is not yet complete. You should not rely on this code. It has not undergone proper degrees of security auditing and the protocol is still subject to change.
Yet that didn't stop the Boston attacks.

There are other plausible reasons to consider why terrorism has lowered in Western Europe:

1) IRA is dismantled. IRA and UK are at peace.

2) ETA is dismantled as well. That's more recently though.

3) The Iron Curtain is down. Its a well known fact Eastern Europe states were supporting terrorists such as Carlos and the RAF. In the 80s this became less feasible already.

4) Right after the Iron Curtain went down there were wars and new countries (eventually) born. After that, the region more or less stabilized. NB: This is merely my perception.
I agree, the analysis is great, but linking to an unedited source video would help remove doubt that things might be shown out of context. If you haven't found one yet, here's one: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/recep-ta...

If the perpetrators of the violence shown in the video are not charged with criminal acts, I think this means we are no longer operating under rule of law.
This is a little off-topic but I find it completely baffling that we seem to have so little control over the code that is executed on our own machines. From Javascript on pages to viruses, why is arbitrary software given so much power? Javascript is a dynamic language, so it should be really easy to remove its capabilities. Replace the XMLHttpRequest reference with a stub that requires permission from the user before making any requests. Stub out members on the global object to prevent access to the DOM. Any capability to annoy the user, stub it out. Does this kind of tool not exist in the form of a browser extension? You could define your own script to bork the runtime before control is given to remote scripts.

The theory[1] for this kind of approach was developed over 50 years ago, I'm just completely dumbstruck that we haven't properly solved this problem.

Your comment isn't very coherent. The GI bill was originally enacted after WWII, yes, but it has applied to service members ever since. They enacted an enhancement to it post 9/11 and service members have a choice between the original Montgomery GI bill and post 9/11 GI bill education benefits now. They can even transfer those benefits to their spouse or child if they don't want to use them.

I really don't see how anybody is actually being kept under control, so far. Not disputing the overreach of many of these transgressions that have become public over the last years. But to suggest that they are actively used to influence US domestic politics and elections just doesn't seem plausible.

Even if the theory is that the two parties act as a duopoly and protect their shared interests, which seems unlikely given they barely contain their mutual hatred in public–wouldn't they have used such subversion to avoid the current president?

Buzzfeed is in a similar land as Gawker was sometimes. Yeah, a lot of what they post is trash, but sometimes they talk about something everyone else isn't talking about.

We can make fun of Buzzfeed (I encourage it), but there's no reason to trash a reasonably interesting article solely based on its source.
Went to read your The Independent source (didn't read the other 3). Found:

"An operation run by GCHQ, the British intelligence and security organisation, used interception warrants to monitor phones owned by individuals linked to the 2015 plot, it was reported."

Whereas earlier you mentioned the panopticon.

Well, the above has very little to do with mass surveillance. If anything, that just muds the water. It has to do with targeted surveillance. Which has a proven track record.

I've yet to see the efficiency of mass surveillance in a direct relation to catching terrorism.
This same scenario happened last year outside the Brookings Institution. I suspect the reason why there's such good video coverage of this year's attack, is they were ready for it, based on what happened last year.

In the short term, I agree with John McCain, the Turkish ambassador to the U.S. should be expelled over this event.

What precedes all of this is the U.S. supports the YPG, which Erdogan considers a terrorist organization. Pretty much any Kurdish organization is probably considered a terrorist organization to the Turkish government, however. The U.S. supports the YPG, makes Erdogan look weak in that he doesn't have enough sway to get one of their worst domestic political and ethnic enemies disenfranchised by the U.S. so Erdogan retaliates with thugs right in the U.S. capitol to embarrass the Trump (and last year the Obama) adminstration. It's tit for tat.

Long term, is whether a Turkish autocracy, which is what it is now, a viable member in NATO? I think the U.S. looks the other way as long as Turkey helps fight Daesh. But Turkey is now a stain on NATO's democratic origin and purpose.

Also funny that they admit the CPU use might not really be a problem... but try to solve it anyway and add a lot of complexity to their system.

I have learned to KISS and am I am surprised they are solving this problem and don't have more pressing product development. Doing something like this is pretty standard, but doing it before its needed smells of misused engineering time.

Yeah, what raised a red flag when reading this project's description was that having a single kernel for all devices and no compatibility layer like libhybris is unfortunately an unrealistic goal in the world of ARM android devices.

An approach that is less likely to result in vaporware would be to maintain ports of Halium to older devices based on LineageOS kernels/drivers, with an optional Alpine Linux userspace.

Otherwise this project is little more than README.md Hacker News bait.
