"To solve this, yes theoretically you could have a trusted third-party intermediating, but who would that third party be?"

A non-profit to start with given a startup is focused on money and growth. They almost always get more evil or acquired into evil over time. The nonprofit is chartered and/or contracted with standard provisions to prohibit certain behavior. They have a traditional crypto + database + published ticket log w/ optional apps as I described.

Whoever is running it registers the event, they describe the constraints such as ticket numbers/pricing, that summary is posted by ticket mediator for all to see, each purchase generates a unique ticket in the database signed by central app, buyer's app plus mediator's web site shows decrease in tickets available, a log optionally shows a ticket ID (maybe hash) added for each ticket purchased, optionally saved onto append/write-only storage (DVD-R's) for certain amount of time, and any claim in court can pull the data to check payment records vs buyer's income on event vs database contents vs published log. All of this can be done on one server with an application server and a database since performance requirements will be low. Especially if HW-accelerated crypto in standard CPU's are used. And, since I haven't seen a mention of this, make sure there's an open-source verifier w/ patent license + the log itself is Creative Commons w/ Attribution.

"If this were a product created by a monopoly with 80% market share"

That's what your startup intends to achieve by creating and dominating a new market. Startups 101. My idea can be done by a number of organizations copying the same template for business, legal, and tech. They can do it for-profit based on reputation, non-profit set up to not legally be allowed to assist malicious behavior, or something in between. I'd trust my model so long as it was auditable w/ all the logs published. Organized crime is a crazy-strong threat model that might still forge things by coercing people to forge things with some gains between the event happening and my model detecting it. That's unavoidable but your model or mine will reduce risk a lot. Mine reduces operational risk with proven components.
You did what you can do. Maybe point them to their merchant agreement and PCI compliance rules. I've run into this before and clients have paid be to fix the problem.
I'm not sure, it sounds like you're saying we'd need to copy memory.

The shared memory segment can be a GPU image buffer, so I don't think that's true.
Medical booking platform DocPlanner raises €15M Series D round
They do it in a different way - through loyalty cards. In a store I frequent (which is cheap, and thus services lots of poor people), you can save a bit of money by just letting the clerk scan your loyalty card.

Interestingly, the discounts are usually not on the "exclusive" items, but on basic necessities - like vegetables.

Also, the shop in question didn't even have debit/credit card readers until very recently. I suppose stores may be reluctant to pushing people into card payments simply because processing fees are too large if you're running on small margin.
>You've clearly not researched just how much Employer's NI is. It's a lot more than an employee pays.

While I'm not familiar with how Employer's NI works else where in the world, given the way it works in the US I'm fine with it being cut. The way it works in the US is great for hiding the true rate of tax from the employee by having it taken out of their paycheck before the employee ever sees it. I think it works better if the employee sees the full amount their employer pays them and exactly how much the government taxes that rate.

I'd guess various state institutions like "state forests" are usually the biggest landholders. E.g. in Czech the churches are only claiming some 1-4% of the country in the restitution process (back in the day, everything was nationalized by the communists, so this is the way you can get it back).
Those also aren't strictly tied together. I absolutely believe that EU's internet regulations make it less desirable to start interesting new internet companies there. In many cases, I would also gladly trade that for the benefits of being an individual living under such a system.

I'd wager that 75% or more of GitHub projects are things like libraries, not end-user applications. So most people using GitHub are technical users.
You can get most of the security people are asking for without that level of granularity. If the decoder is exploited and is able to attack the demuxer, that's still worlds better than the decoder being able to run with full user privileges.

Do any of those components need unrestricted/unpredictable file access? Because if they don't you can just open the files in the main process that handles the UI and send them to the sandboxed process via IPC. None of Windows/OSX/Linux do permission checks when file handles are read from, they only check when the file is initially opened.
I've used HoloLens and I don't think it will change anything for a very, very long time- and that is only if Microsoft stays committed to it enough for it to develop into a useful consumer device.
I'd argue that:
a) as an industry we have far less of a clothes == professionalism association (and that's definitely a good thing)
b) if anything dressing in a suit is an indication that you've primarily worked for older, more formal companies where the technology and management practises are behind the times and you're therefor less likely to be a skilled professional and/or need help to adapt to the culture of cutting edge technology companies.

Also the implication that we're 'not on their level' due to not wearing a suit is absurd.

Or encouraged it?
Citizens are responsible for their politicians, who derive their power from the society they govern. If we weren't so ignorant about their actions, politicians wouldn't be getting away with murder every single day.

This disconnect between citizen responsibility and political culpability is the problem. We cannot butter our bread on both sides: either we live in a society where our armed forces are governed by our democracies, or we don't.

When I left my last job, I decided to ditch Windows as well. I use a MacBook Pro for laptop and Linux on the desktop and on all my servers. Although some people still send me .doc and .xls files, I can open them with LibreOffice and make sense of them. Although it takes a bit of research, I have always been able to find better programs for my work than the bloated and over-priced software that Windows requires.

>If you only care about the bugs that someone else fixes for you, then you don't actually care.

You're mischaracterizing the author's post. Notice that the author specifically wrote:

+ "Fork the repo, add a failing test."

+ "Add an example in the repo that illustrates the bug."

Neither of those requests is "fixing" the bug for the author. Maybe those tasks in your opinion is asking too much of users -- and that's fine to feel that way -- but it's obviously false to say that submitting bug reproductions actually fixes the bug. It certainly doesn't.
The bank PIN isn't really comparable as government agents can access bank info (in UK at least); the only purpose of the PIN is money withdrawal - surely there is no situation where a border agent would be legally asking for that PIN?

If it's going to bother you why not just use a dumb device and a VPN to access your sensitive data?

The fact they they were willi to repair an issue which cropped up and was reported under warranty is in no way special. They are only fulfilling an obligation.
Why should they change at all? What does it even mean to be 'incompatible'? Who's the arbiter? Why is your culture the 'objectively better' one?

Lets just call it what it is - intolerance. "Why can't those foreigners just behave like I want them to! They make me uncomfortable" is what small-minded folk all over the world say about immigrants. Have said, for centuries.

An old engineer friend of mine once told me a story about when he worked for a large, national electronics design and manufacturing firm (probably GEC, Marconi or suchlike) - that would have been sometime in the 1960-70s...

Apparently, the R&D lab was full of long-haired, cheesecloth-shirt-wearing, sandaled, 'hippy' types. One day the Managing Director walked in, called everyone together and announced in a stern voice that there was going to be a very important visitor on the premises the next day and so everyone needed to smarten themselves up because they looked very shabby and unprofessional.

The next day, the MD walked in to the lab with his visitor...to find that all the engineers in full wedding suits with top-hats, casually soldering, probing, pouring over circuit schematics etc. just like a 'normal' day..!

I don't recall what happened next!

AAA games often project emotions too - just a different _kind_ of emotions. Just because Modern Warfare is a different experience than Inside or Fez doesn't mean you don't feel anything when playing it. There's plenty of place in the world for all kinds of games.
Hardly. Others can still fly over it. Look at it. Zone-regulate the use of it. Enforce environmental regulations on it. Pursue criminals over it. The nation can assert hegemony over it.

Ownership is a limited-use social contract. There's less you can do every day.
Clandestine agencies are not subject to the same judicial process as the rest of us. Thats why they have "secret courts" and the magic words which trump the law: "national security".

Treat data as data. Taking the Subrip format as an example, everything starts out fine so long as there is good bounds checking on the purely textual data.

Then, however, some dipshit decides to extend the format by adding tags for things like bold, italics, underline etc. This is completely unnecessary for subtitles because the emphasis can be inferred from the dialogue. The unnecessary complexity increase the potential for vulnerabilities.

Then some total dickhead decides to add an HTML5 tag, for no reason whatsoever, and it all goes to hell.

This is illustrative of the problem with most software: the absence of a clear-headed benevolent dictator to say, "no; you are an idiot; we're not doing that."
Who would want to use an authentication token that they cannot change once it's been compromised?
I agree that blurting things out is related to ADD-like behavior, and what you have described is very close to my history.

My experience with treatment, however (which for most is amphetamines) is that I become more verbal and unfiltered while on Adderall, to the point I try to only take it when I am working in a solo setting.
But the issue is not only file access. File access is a small part of the main problem.
sounds cool. Yeah in that case i'd much rather use your bracket than my fanny pack!
I don't think nobody has thought about it, but since you were apparently unaware that there was an alternative to performing several GB/s of IPC for moving buffers around there's obviously some options that haven't been considered. The Chromium sandbox has to deal with every issue you've listed (it's even calibrated to run ffmpeg inside the sandbox, since that's something Chromium needs to do).

Uber is a smartphone app which provides on-demand service to users. It connects willing passengers to taxi cab drivers. Taxi drivers use their own cars when providing taxi service and Uber gets 20% of the fare. The total process is very simple, registered Uber users ask for a taxi using for Uber Cloe apps, an Uber driver then dispatched to the passenger’s location and assist the passengers to reach his destination. The passenger’s credit card is used as the sole payment method. Currently, this service is available in 200 cities across 55 countries. Uber is expanding its business and users in some cities can call an ice-cream truck to purchase ice-cream or even a helicopter for a ride. According to the experts, Uber will generate $10 billion in revenue in 2015. Uber is not any traditional taxi business because it doesn’t employ any taxi drivers or owns any taxi. Uber basically connects the passenger and taxi driver and takes a percentage of the fee from the fare. You’ve come to right place! What we have here is completely white label venture-in-a-box!

Could the real ISIS stand up please? Anything and everything is blamed on ISIS yet nobody has ever met a genuine ISIS person. It is a contrivance of the military industrial media congressional complex, the moral panic of our age.

Because ISIS get instantly blamed a legitimate struggle against a Washington ally can be blamed on ISIS and not whatever nationalist movement was behind the incident. Things can only be done by people assumed to be ISIS sympathisers, not by anyone else.

> A sale from a lie is equal in value to a sale from the truth.

And a sale from a lie is also cheaper to achieve than a sale from the truth. So even if your ads are always 100% honest, if your competitor starts lying, you're forced to either do the same, or risk going out of business. This is how the market optimizes human values away as inefficiencies.
In some cases, they are different products. During times, when Airport cards were separate products, I got mine in the US. That was a mistake - I had to live with one channel less. Today, the Samsung Galaxy S-series phones are different in US and the rest of the world. There are many other examples.

In other cases, it is about squeezing every last dollar out of the buyers. Mostly those in UK and EU.

I use the settings to configure the system including tuning which applications have permission to create notifications and which applications have permission to access system features like the address book, location data, and calendar. The control is fairly fine grained.
Settings also allows using a local login, turning off Cortana, changing the default search provider, and so forth and so on. The control is pretty fine grained. All that with the caveat that my experience is that 8.0 was better than 7 and 8.1 was better than 8.0 and 10 is better than 8.1.

When I first switched to Windows 8.0 I freaked out and thought it was an unusable mess because Windows 8 was different. I thought I would never be able to use it productively. Then for some reason after a few hours, I reframed it as just learning another piece of software or another programming language and gave myself permission to learn how to use it. I spent less than an hour (and probably less than half an hour) going through the "Tour" and reading a couple of things online and then I pretty much got it. The long and the short is that for me, learing how to use Windows 8 (and 10) made me appreciate what works.

Maybe there are three or four or ten gigabytes of stuff on the disk with Windows 10 that I don't use. The days when that mattered to me are gone. I care about using it my computer not managing files on it. If some app does something I don't want, then I deal with it.

Good luck.
>In reality terrorism accounts for less than 0.01% of premature deaths,

Sure death by terrorism is only a blip. But the amount of money spent on spreading terrorist idealology is insane.

The problem is, our ally, Saudi Arabia, is spending Billions on Wahhabist Terrorism Propaganda aka Petro-Islam. In fact, money trails show KSA funded 90% of Wahhabist Terrorism Propoganda (Petro-Islam) around the world through mosques and literature.

From Wikipedia:

>Wahhabism has been accused of being "a source of global terrorism", inspiring the ideology of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), and for causing disunity in Muslim communities by labelling Muslims who disagreed with the Wahhabi definition of monotheism as apostates (takfir) and justifying their killing. It has also been criticized for the destruction of historic mazaars, mausoleums, and other Muslim and non-Muslim buildings and artifacts.

>Saudi Arabia is called the "cradle of Wahhabist Terrorism". In fact, Saudi Arabia funded an estimated "90% of the expenses of the entire faith [wahhabism]", throughout the Muslim World, according to journalist Dawood al-Shirian.

>It extended to young and old, from children's madrasas to high-level scholarship.
This spending has done much to overwhelm less strict local interpretations of Islam, according to observers like Dawood al-Shirian and Lee Kuan Yew, and has caused the Saudi interpretation (sometimes called "petro-Islam") to be perceived as the correct interpretation – or the "gold standard" of Islam – in many Muslims' minds.

>The Salafi movement is often described as being synonymous with Wahhabism.
>A PI hired by the Rich family has stated publicly the police were told to stand down and that sources available to Fox News told him Seth Rich had been communicating with wikileaks. Kim Dotcom

This has since been retracted by Fox since it wasn't true and was made up by the reporter and the PI.

I love vim, but I do feel that my reliance on its awesomeness has been reduced quite a bit since I switched to using a Kinesis Advantage keyboard. For one, the cursor keys don't require me to move my hands at all, so I no longer use hjkl to navigate. I also have quick easy access to all modifier keys and I use a foot pedal too. I do still use vim, but I've essentially mapped all of the fancier features to pedal+main keybaord single button shortcuts - Kinesis Advantage macros also means it works fine in a stock vim.

Yes, yes, when I don't have my keyboard, I still use the normal vim features, but I try to use the keyboard as much as possible for anti-RSI purposes anyway, so its not a big deal.

My personal favourite:

git for-each-ref --sort=-committerdate

.. shows progress for each branch .. this makes it surprisingly easy to see which of the developers in our group (with their own branches) is pushing the codebase further ..
What I'm talking about is cultural things like slavery, honour killings, child sexual exploitation, blasphemy killings, making homosexual relations illegal. I would hope that we can agree that these are things which are unacceptable or at least unpalatable in the modern world. Therefore cultures where this is acceptable and normal practice are objectively worse than in cultures where it is unacceptable.

So when people move from cultures where these things are practised to where they are not, they should either drop them, or move back.

It's not unlike the Enron model. Uber is supported entirely by the collective opinion that they're a SV unicorn and the most ruthlessly profitable thing around.

If a vote of no confidence is issued by the Uber management team being fired, the valuation would collapse because it would be an admission that ultimate ruthlessness/evil/whatever you want to call it, does not automatically become ultimate profitability and capital return.

Of course the VCs have to double down. They have no choice but to conclude that Uber's behavior is a model for future business everywhere. It doesn't matter if it's an absurd conclusion: capital is literally at stake. Uber's valuation can only go up or burst. Everybody invested in it strongly prefer the 'go up' option.
