WebRTC exists today, and it's quite good. It's not a technology problem, it's a matter of practicality. Mobile devices being reachable over the network 24/7 is just not realistic (connectivity falls off, battery considerations, etc.). I don't want my phone to heat up and come to a crawl because the video I just shared is being downloaded by three friends over LTE while I ride the train.

It seems like he may not have created the trojan, but simply created a bootkit that it utilized. A fairly common thing for security researchers to do.

While the tools, methods and knowledge might be similar or the same... to say "the thinnest of lines between the two" exists is a bit disingenuous.

There is a MASSIVE difference between researching security holes... and then selling the exploits for those security holes or tools that use said security holes.

Again... if the chatter here is accurate, he's not being "arrested" for research... he's being arrested for tools created and sold with the knowledge gained by said research.

There's a difference between discovering a hole in a banks security... and robbing a bank using that hole.

Massive difference.
Why would a browser lie?
Thank you. I possibly should have augmented with a comment around how I think trying to re-re-name LibreOffice back to OpenOffice would be a bad idea.

Even though I'm one of the minority that understands the nature of the fork, and the current status of both projects, as some LO developers have noted here it would not be palatable to some of them to try to flip back to 'OpenOffice' as a project name. I don't believe educating users of OpenOffice about the name change is an intractable problem, but, again as some LO contributors have noted here, it's not necessarily LO's role to do this, nor is it something they necessarily could do. But it is something the AOO team could do, and, as per TFA, it's probably now the right thing to do.
OK, fair enough. But maybe that was just Celts that those Romans ran into. I certainly don't know. But damn, before I read about the Cohen gene in the Lemba, I had assumed that black Jews were converts.
I don't get what value it really supplies, and it seems like people are really fond of using it in the wrong places.

It's a conditional expression , not a statement, and particularly helps simplify things like

if(foo)
someVeryVeryLongExpressionEvaluatingToAnLvalue = someShortRvalue;
else
someVeryVeryLongExpressionEvaluatingToAnLvalue = otherShortRvalue

into

someVeryVeryLongExpressionEvaluatingToAnLvalue =
foo ? someShortRvalue : otherShortRvalue;

I suppose to really "get" what the ternary is useful for, you have to have some experience with a more functional programming language, focusing on the flow of the data itself. There, multiply-nested ternaries are really the norm for what you'd otherwise call "control flow" in non-functional languages, and structures like this are common:

value = isAtrue ? A_value :
isBtrue ? B_value :
isCtrue ? C_value :
D_value ;

(Does not work in PHP, but every other language with a ternary will interpret that as a compact alternative to the far more cumbersome if/else --- especially if coding standards dictate braces on their own line.)
You're grasping for ways to punish this guy because you don't like him. The fact is, he made a mistake and wanted to pay back the people he made a mistake with.
I've not looked at this in years but as I remember it Apache took over the OpenOffice.org brand and that OOo could not be "Open Office" (or a direct variation) as that was already a [text] trademark for an office suite [or something in class 9] from some other source.

Isn't that why it's "Apache OpenOffice" because they can't call it just "OpenOffice", similarly Siemens have a mark "HiPath OpenOffice".

Eg https://trademarks.ipo.gov.uk/ipo-tmcase/page/Results/1/UK00... a dead application for "openoffice" from Oracle, expired in 1997 on non-payment of renewal.

[A modicum of research ensues ...]

Seems, https://www.tmdn.org/tmview/bookmark?s=ju0uijpgg5uupublble76..., there's a valid mark in Canada, Switzerland, and Russia owned variously by Sun, Oracle, Apache.

It's very generic IMO; a poor mark even if it could be secured.

I disagree. To most normal users, I expect they perceive libreoffice and openpffice.org to be distinct separate projects. Only techies who have been following openoffice.org would know that one is a fork of the other (and even that distinction is starting to become irreverent as both both projects further diverge in terms of feature sets).

I also think that while LibreOffice is relatively new, it name has already begun to spread among normal users. I think it be very unwise to throw that good reputation away and start over. I also happen to be quite found of their current name, LibreOffice. I think it's classy and easy to remember.
> Edit: I just tried AOO. It works. Looks a little bit dated but the controls are where they should be and everything I tested works correctly.

Just to be clear-- are you saying that OpenOffice correctly handles HiDPI in its GUI while LibreOffice does not?

When you say "the controls are where they should be," do you mean that the icons in OpenOffice are both properly sized in the GUI window as well as having the correct hitboxes?

I'd love to see some screenshots of the two side-by-side if you have some.
Arrest is an early step in a process to prove guilt or acquit. The "burglary" did occur, and a grand jury did examine evidence and determine it was sufficient to start that process.
Did ALL of Madoff's investors get paid off, or just the "got-in-on-the-bottom-floor" investors? If it wasn't all it's not the same argument as Shkreli's defense.
> Do you update your app every 15 minutes? And are you presumptuous enough to assume your users need each update immediately?

I don't think you quite understand that this project is the server side, so the every 15 minute update frequency (which is user configurable) controls how often the server polls GitHub.
I like JS because it's dynamic, terse, and I already use it on the frontend. I've been meaning to look into Go as well but I'm honestly not convinced it would be that much more useful than Python or Java (already know fairly well).
Yep agreed, we've had to build similar things internally.

Getting labelled data is a pain.
I believe this is what John Wiegley talked about in this Haskell Cast[1] which, as I understand it, should allow translating Haskell into Coq.

I’m just beginning to understand all of this category stuff but, as far as I can see, a Haskell function of type

f :: a -> b

should be equivalent to a Coq function of type

f :: a -> Either SomeException a

to account for the Hask category’s “bottom” value.

Ehh, try welding aluminum. I agree with you, but it ain't no walk in the park. Oil and coal seem like the real keys to industrialization. We took most of the easy stuff.
This year's OPLSS did not really engage with Coq. Adam Chlipala did give a lecture series on Coq at OPLSS'16 though: https://www.cs.uoregon.edu/research/summerschool/summer15/cu...

The DeepSpec summer school, however, did lead with a Coq intensive, which was recorded and included in the uploads at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5yB0ZRgc4A99ttkwer-dDw .
I bring up TLA+ because many people have quit trying to learn Coq because it was so hard with little perceived benefit. TLA+ has a high ratio of benefit for work put in. It also shows that abstract modeling can knock out deeper errors than regular tests or sometimes review. That makes it a nice, intermediate step toward stuff like Coq. Just a hunch a few of us have. :)

So he's got a segfault every couple of minutes, wow... I've been running the same test for over 4 hours now on my Ryzen 1700 (and I've had several uneventful 30-40 minute runs before). To date, I only got one "internal compiler error: Illegal instruction" but no segfaults.

Whatever it is, it doesn't affect every chip the same way.
Fair enough, but I don't think that the FBI conspires to frame people for crimes all that often, nor that many security researchers believe that they do. Also, the fact that a grand jury handed down an indictment indicates that there is evidence that will be shared at trial. Unless the grand jury is also part of the conspiracy, of course.
Okay, so @arthulia and @hueving, is it "good restaurants" or "crappy, over-priced food"? Never been there, but could somewhat imagine either scenario. Actually I could imagine multiple possibilities for each:

"good restaurants": (1) lots of top-tier cooks go there because money and it's cheap because Vegas, or (2) lots of off-strip places with good chefs trying to make it big.

"crappy, overpriced food": (1) Wolfgang Puck etc, or (2) Even off-strip food is bad and expensive because they can't afford water.

So in reality which is it?
I also wasn't very impressed with it, but that could be because I already can code and this book focuses more on beginners than SICP. SICP starts off easy and gets hard fast...at least to me.

I really appreciate narcissism and arrogance of Rich - he spent these two years (or whatever the legend says) writing Clojure 1.0 before made it public and this is what arrogance is for.

Nevertheless, even an ordinary CS student would notice, that there is literally nothing extraordinary in Clojure which was not being researched and implemented in other languages, like Erlang, Scheme (that subset of it which does not include set-car! and set-cdr!) SML and, obviously, Common Lisp. The systematizing effort and ability to deliver are exceptional.

So, I am sorry, but I am not buying these marketing slogans, because I know on which principles it has been made.

I'm hoping that in 10-15 years, existing smartphones with giant screens will seem like a thing of the past, and that we'd have tiny devices that look "dumb" for a third person from 2017, but are much smarter and have AR capabilities just like we've seen in Sci-Fi movies and video games for a long time.

We don't need large screens to consume more content - we need content to look larger and more content to be seen in our eyes. I see wearables (watches, combined with earphones, and eyewear of some kind) becoming independent of a smartphone as one step forward in this evolution.

What's interesting is that people are outraged at medicine prices but nobody wants to start a company to develop new molecules and sell them at the cheap. This shows that people realize that prices much lower than current are not sustainable. There is just a lot of R&D involved. But that realization does not prevent people from bitching about it or ascribing blame to people who are just doing what is viable for their business.

Postscript: another issue is time. Very often, you have n hours to cover m topics, and n always seems to be too small. This is unlikely to change. Active learning exercises tend to consume a great deal of time, to prepare, to run, to give feedback on. In general, you have to use the techniques sparingly, often reserving them for key issues or to help integrate knowledge about several topics. Lectures are often there to ensure at least a minimum amount of coverage of other topics, to offer an opportunity to ask questions and to clarify how a topic fits into the rest of the course. It seems unfair to examine and grade students on topics that were never taken up in class at all.
Unkept honey bees can be either wild or feral. And the distinction is not always clear -- how many generations does it take for a bloodline to revert to "wild"?

And of course, a honey bee is any apis that produces honey. While not species-specific, it is genus-constraining, instead of function-labeling. More like "sugar maple" (most of which are untapped, but they still produce), and not "milk cow".

Fair points on the confusion and ambiguity. My comment wasn't really worthwhile (and you obviously know all of these rejoinders) but the floated implication seemed absurd and a little pointed. Future self will endeavour to be more valorous.

Not why he was prosecuted. Why he was even considered for prosecution in the first place. Some of the investors "harmed" by Shkreli admitted on the stand that their investments with him were the best they've ever made. Dude is also obviously smart and talented, and while he might have bent the rules here and there, as far as I can tell no harm has come to anyone in the end. So what this amounts to is little more than a witch hunt. The "aggrieved" party has made a lot of money.

But my comment was more about a peculiar difference in the treatment of two people in similar circumstances based seemingly on whether their relatives are high ranking government officials. Surely this should have seen some more scrutiny from the "free" press, no?
His obvious intent was to draw attention to the highly negative attention Shkreli got which probably caused harsher treatment in this case too.
Either way. Not investors suing him.
I agree with your general sentiment, but please let's not be naive about Apple's business practices - last time I checked (2 years ago?) Apple's company wide profit margin was about 30 - 40%. So yes, Apple's products are superior and you definitely get something in return for the higher price, but the Apple Tax itself is definitely real.

I don't like the ternary operator ?, because it's not obvious:

> From the results of the study, one would infer that if they adopt these 4 traits, they will become CEOs.

How did you reach this conclusion? It is as dumb as reading an article stating that good doctors have an attention for detail and then thinking that you could get a job as a doctor just by demonstrating attention for detail. The article just states that for people who already are CEO's these traits are important and that boards should consider them more, this makes it clear that these traits are not the only things necessary in order for someone to be considered for a CEO position. It even notes in the beginning that most boards undervalues these traits meaning that that someone who focuses on different traits should have greater success in attaining a CEO position.

The principle that IoT vending should not be lawless, and that you should not be allowed to sell made-for-pwn'ing shite is good. The idea that it is a bad thing for stuff to join a botnet even if the botnet doesn't harm the stuff's owner is also right.

Whether this or any other particular piece of legislation actual helps with that is not known yet. Whether the legislation gets used as barrier to entry to keep secure products out of the market while giving conforming but dodgy products the green light is also not seen.

The best I can say is that, from the article, the senators seem to be taking a sensible attitude, and the description of the bill is has no obvious stupidities.

I expect that legislation will matter less than the attitude courts around the world take to things as the practical consequences of IoT are brought before them one case at a time.
