> The only reason the average consumer would want to open up an iPhone or a MacBook is to do something like swap out the battery.

I think that the average consumer is more likely to go buy a new one, or put up with the nuisance of a short battery life. Almost all the Apple replacement batteries that I see on Amazon come with the special screwdrivers anyhow. So if they're determined enough to actually order a battery, it's almost inevitable that they'll also get the tools to do whatever damage they can.

> Apple has a responsibility to remove the obvious easy ways for a customer to accidentally destroy their device.

I don't think that Apple has a responsibility to protect customers from their own conscious actions, but I think some of the minor roadblocks make sense from a business perspective; no manufacturer wants to deal with a customer that "repaired" their own device and expects the company to still honor the warranty.

The rate in not because of juries (most cases end up in guilty pleas anyway). It is 90% war on drugs and 10% "tough on crime" mentality which emphasizes punitive aspects and produces thing like mandatory minimal sentences which do not allow to treat things on by case basis. But mostly it's war on drugs.
Why do you even need a med school with these types of students
The issue with this is that I often think of a people, that are not following media (so would not know him at all), to be usually more on a conservative note with strong values. If such a people would meet Shkreli, they would send him straight to the jail.
My point isn't that I have a huge of trust and goodwill in the criminal justice system, but rather that almost nobody in the security community does the stuff that this person is accused of doing. Do you build banking trojans and then arrange for them to be sold to anonymous strangers on Darknet forums? If not: what does this case have to do with your security work?
I was thinking the same thing. I don't see pirating as a sacrifice in quality. You reliably get 1080p releases of episodes as soon as they have aired, often with subtitles.

What you sacrifice by pirating is a bit of conscience and (arguably) convenience.
I think this is also an argument with potential (at least when presented as here, i.e. without excessive reference to WannaCry), but I think you need to either have a decent amount of affirmative evidence against him having sold Kronos or to wait at least several days before using the DOJ's absence of presented evidence as evidence of absence.

W.r.t. the latter, I'm not saying that the DOJ should have had him arrested if it lacks serious evidence of his guilt. I'm saying that his arrest has happened; it's too late to stop it. The question is whether it should have happened, and, since we're highly unlikely to be able to change anything within a few days, it seems like it makes sense to wait a few days before asserting that the DOJ lacked evidence to support the arrest if only to avoid poising the well. If it turns out that they didn't have any evidence, then the arrest was a problem which needs to have consequences. But I think being over-eager at this point greatly lowers the probability of there being any such consequences.
I'm not sure a well-known phenomenon (talented sociopaths can make excellent manipulators & get everyone to love them within five minutes of meeting) counts as armchair psychology.

A minor thing which struck me when reading the Medium post.

When early on, the Angular folks were energetically arguing that the reason you could count on Angular 1, was because they were building on a new technology no-one had ever used before (!), and they were backed by Google (!), my thought was: you've just told me a great deal, but it's likely not what you had in mind.

It's interesting because the AI founders like McCarthy considered the intellectual challenges to be hard, and the robot challenges to be relatively easy.

Optical Illusions That Make Drivers Slow Down for Crosswalks
I agree, it's not 100% okay. I wouldn't feel bad doing it though. I also wouldn't do it in a situation where my presence hurts another paying customer (i.e. full lounge).

My personal ethics apply to how my actions impact other living things. I don't lose sleep worrying if I've wronged an entity created solely for the purpose of maximizing shareholder value.

I'm honestly surprised how many people don't agree with that. To each their own I suppose.

Edit: You're totally right about the futility of trying to shove all of us into any one descriptive bucket though. That was a mistake.
Weird it just worked fine for me. http://infiniteundo.com/archive/filter-by/text
My new Dell XPS 15 is easy to service. 12 screws on the bottom gives easy access to the ram, battery, drive slots, and wifi. The heat sinks and pipes for the CPU and GPU has what, 8 screws? The screws don't need to be removed to clean out the fans with compressed air.

I replaced the SSD, wifi card, and repasted the CPU/GPU cooler. The operation took me 30 minutes.
Just wondering if I'm the only one, but I like my logs to be the narrative of what's happening in the system.
Because not enough people would buy it to justify the expense in time/money required to offer selling it? They probably don't even want to recommend people fix their own devices because people will try, screw up, and then go to support, and they'd have to train their support staff to handle this case.

I spend a good chunk of my day in Excel and some might consider me a power user. He's pretty decent, and I picked up a couple tips from him (using a graphical line object instead of messing with cell borders for something you might need to move frequently for example).

There is definitely something mesmerizing though about watching someone conjure complex data onto a screen seemingly by magic and a few key strokes though. Although really it is just memorizing a ton of hot keys and a bunch of buried menu shortcuts.
Well, that and he actually was guilty. Just like being nice shouldn't be enough to get you off the hook when you're guilty being an asshole shouldn't be enough to get you to be declared guilty when you're not. In this case the system simply worked as it was designed to.

Underrated but the real truth here.
>When fraud happens those affected don't usually get their money back much less a return on that money.

That will be a footnote at sentencing. Federal sentencing is generally based on intended or actual loss, whichever is greater. Further, the judge is allowed to take into account intended losses from his entire course of conduct, not just the intended losses from the specific counts on which he was found guilty.

In other words, the fact that his investors lost no actual money will have little bearing on his sentence. I don't know what the actual amount he took in was, but he will be sentenced for a multimillion dollar fraud scheme, and because he went to trial and lost, he'll get nowhere near the minimum. The government likes to punish people for making them expend the time and effort of a trial (in 2012, 97% of federal cases ended with a guilty plea instead of a trial [1]). He's probably looking at 5 years at best.

I actually don't know if it's amnesia. It might be something more like denial. The idea that we are surrounded by unreliable, incomplete, and misleading information is too unpleasant to contemplate, so we just push that thought out of our minds if there isn't anything concrete to suggest it is happening in the specific case we're looking at.

This sort of thing seems to happen a lot when there aren't any obvious better alternatives. Which newspaper can I subscribe to instead that actually is consistently accurate? Not knowing of one, and not wanting to stop reading the news entirely, I stay with the newspaper I already have and make the best of the experience. And part of that is letting myself assume it's accurate whenever I don't have a reason to say otherwise.
That's where I was going when I wrote this post. Logging and log analysis is a large part of the continuous delivery tooling that I've been working on for the past 7 years.

A white hat is being accused of black hat behaviour. There is no indication that the government is seeking to charge him with any activities related to behaviour that could be interpreted as "white hat" in any way. He's accused of creating and distributing malware. He may be found innocent of that, but the crimes he is accused of are very definitely crimes, and he shouldn't get a pass just because he's been publicly acting as a white hat.

If the government has evidence, he should be charged and tried. And that appears to be what's happening here.
"This is probably why you don't see companies switching databases. They can't."

I think we don't see companies switching databases because it would be a pain to support the transition. There are implementation specific features that could be used that would break on a switch. Then migrating all of the data and stored procs/functions/views/etc would be a pain too as they would need to be updated for the syntax of the new database. Simple things like TOP in T-SQL do not exist in other database implementations, so that is a simple thing that would have to be fixed. Other things like CROSS APPLY in T-SQL do not (to the best of my limited knowledge) exist in other RDMS, so that would be a more complicated re-write.
These things can be (and are) explained. Trials that contain complex technical violations tend to take longer, sure. Judges, expert witnesses, lawyers all spend a huge amount of time learning about/explaining these issues. It's especially incumbent upon the prosecutor to explain complicated issues -- if the jury can't understand someone's guilt, they are less likely to consider someone guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Which is very, very good: it sets the bar higher for conviction, and it encourages the state to, if it wants to convict, make simpler clearer laws. Complex morasses of incomprehensible laws are not necessary and only serve the interests of those who can pay to create or avoid them.

Also, none of these subjects are so difficult and complicated ordinary people cannot understand them. I've never heard of a trial requiring any real deep knowledge, like requiring jurors to have a serious understanding algebraic geometry or quantum mechanics or phenomenology. Hacking can be explained to ordinary people. People are not dumb. People do their own taxes and understand taxes. Trained professionals are not elite superheroes who are the only ones who can understand the world well enough to understand the difference between right and wrong. Untrained people can't do a professional's job, but they can definitely (with some help and background) tell when a professional has committed a crime. This case is easily understandable. I'm not a securities expert but I can make a fine assessment here just from reading an article, even without hours and hours of doing nothing but learning about the specific case and law (which is what jurors get); we all know what fraud is.

That's one way to misinterpret what wahern is saying ;)

Having access to raw data is not an unmitigated good because people could (and will) intentionally misinterpret it.

It might be still be good on the balance - but there will be a variety of other consequences, good and bad, intended and unintended. Wahern's point seems to be more that it's far too early to call what the balance of all those consequences might be, and that it's not even a given that they'll be more good than bad - nevermind to make the leap to assume they'll all be good.

Cheaper than ever, barrier-free communication across the globe has it's advantages, for example - but this also leads to spammers and robocallers. I've wondered if some kind of small cost increase per call or email would help keep such things in better check.
AlphaBay takedown. I suspect that they found something there.

If that's the case, this is a pretty fast turnaround, actually.

And, given the tiny amounts of money I have seen being quoted (Kronos banking trojan sold for $3000? really?), they probably arrested him with the intention to get him to roll over on somebody much bigger.

The question is whether they've shot themselves in the foot. Did the FBI intend for this to be a quiet nab, but his celebrity from WannaCry hosed them up? Given how quickly they seem to be moving, it's certainly possible.

I wish it were a Snowden moment, but it wasn't. Analogous things are happening all the time - e.g. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/30/business/questcor-finds-pr... - from $40/botle to $28,000/bottle over a period of 7 years; it has, in fact gone up since, and I can't find the source right now, but in fact Questcor has also cornered the synthetic version and jacked it up as well, so everyone in the US who needs it pays >$15,000/vial ; Meanwhile, if you get it outside the US, it's still less than $100/vial anywhere in the world.

All pharma companies are supervillians, and they all corner supplies and jack prices, but they do it more quietly and usually a little slower. Shkreli just went to the endgame faster, and had a villain media portrait. But he is not any different and he definitely did not induce a Snowden moment. I wish he had.
Exactly. At some point, when the battery gets integrated into the hybrid Display-SoC, what would it even mean to disassemble a smartphone?
This is a sad, sad recitation of a man who lived to work rather than worked to live. The following was the saddest to me:

"Peter battled his own brand of melancholy, something I found attractive in a tragically poetic, still-waters-run-deep kind of way. He used to tell me he wasn’t someone who ever really felt happy. He had moments of being “not unhappy,” he said, but his emotional range was narrow.

When something great happened, he didn’t jump for joy. When something sad happened, he didn’t break down and cry. The only times I ever saw tears in his eyes were in the hospital, right after each of our children was born."

For all he did, for all he gave, he never allowed himself to just breathe. Sadly, he missed so much in life including what life is all about.
Some people would do it in a heartbeat.
Before we did that we'd have to agree on what neoliberalism is. One definition cited by Wikipedia is:

> Neoliberal theory argues that a free market will allow efficiency, economic growth, income distribution, and technological progress to occur. Any state intervention to encourage these phenomena will worsen economic performance.

Another is that neoliberalism is the relitigation of the New Deal.

I like the second more operational definition since it doesn't ignore history.

Ask HN: Would it cost less for a large scale company to use mainframes?
Very large scale companies, such as Google and Amazon for example, relies on hardware servers infrastructure to support the running of their services.

It is in my understanding that these companies use x86 and ARM based rack-mounted servers pushing them to scale horizontally rather than vertically.

Why don't these companies use mainframes (IBM System Z for example)?

Wouldn't they benefit from the following advantages?
- Simpler software architecture that leverage vertical scale
- maybe less datacenter space required?
- maybe more efficient power consumption?

As a performer, I enjoy standing in front of a group of people and commanding their attention. It's fun to make them laugh, after all. That said, lectures are pretty easy. Write a story, speak clearly, and write legibly. Congratulations, you did it. Active learning environments require more work from the instructor, but they actually work better.

Lectures persist for a few reasons:

Once you have a notebook of prepared lectures, provided primary compensation is not based on educational outcomes, most faculty will preferentially reuse the work they've already done.

Most faculty, being faculty, are among the small fraction of the population who could learn effectively from lectures. They are inclined to like lectures, and to see nothing wrong with them.

Most university classrooms were built to deliver lectures, not to foster active learning environments. Fixing this would cost more, but a lot of universities are building active learning classrooms because the results speak for themselves.
