Truth. I've been working on that scrolling issue. I think I have it fixed finally. It's part of a plugin that I've been evaluating and need to get rid of.

Most will, some will drop support after its X major release behind. But that's not really the issue, the underlying system has a lot of security issues (as all complex systems do).

So just for 2017 there are:

- 326 code execution vulnerabilities

- 221 memory overflow bugs

- 114 memory corruption issues

- 309 privilege escalation bugs

http://www.cvedetails.com/product/19997/Google-Android.html?...

Granted, I'm sure a lot of these CVE are very low risk, and some are duplicates (because CVE). But there were a couple of notable really bad security issues. But this is just the Android, not all the of dependencies Android has.

StageFright was already mentions, and there has been a couple of iterations of this already, stemming from different bugs in a parsing library used with MMS. Included in this is a remote code execution and an privilege escalation.

Another fun one is Broadpwn, which is rather new one and was disclosed as BlackHat US this year. Its effects both iOS and Android and can be wormed trivially. It targets a widely used Broadcomm wifi chipset, and does not require _any_ user interaction. A malformed SSID broadcast allows for remote code execution. And when I say any user interaction, you can walk by something broadcasting this and you're infected.
Sure, I do that all the time. But, two things to consider:

1) No one outside of the 5 people attending the presentation will ever know. The 5 colleagues following the presentation absolutely don't care where the images are coming from, as long as the point is clear and I'm speaking loud enough.

2) Redistributing ? Really ? If I'm sending a cat picture to my mom, my manager or my favorite slack channel, I'm "redistributing" ? Come on. It's not a publicly available blog post, it's my inner social circle.

I'm never going to pay $30 for the few images I used to make my presentation less boring. However, I can make a little effort and put a 12pt "credits" slide at the end (usually, no one care about).

Everything is simple if you know what you are doing. Kudos! I had my own share of adventures with SIP across NAT so I know it must have been lots of experimentation and studying to find this simple solution.
Funny you mention the BBS scene. There was a period (probably late 80s) when I was pretty involved with a large local commercial BBS. And we did a bit of socializing together. I imagine it skewed male but my recollection is that it wasn't overwhelmingly male.
Convenient you pick VS Code as your bar, given it's probably the one acceptable Electron app anyone can think of.

The amount of business Apple would lose over this is minuscule.
Yes. I think we'll see some rejuvenation, but it also depends on other factors too.

Net neutrality has to be one of the most poorly marketed concepts of the past decade. When you're head-to-head with global companies with tremendous budgets, it's a good idea to have people trained in PR doing your branding.

The biggest failure of the net neutrality movement was it did nothing to undermine the belief that net neutrality represented a change in the status quo. It would have been better to lead with the idea of big business (telecoms) or the government (FCC) meddling with the Internet.

This highlights an unfortunate aspect of our public sphere. The unvarnished truth is rarely enough to influence public opinion. Those of us in the computers, and engineering must recognize that rhetoric based on emotion is a more effective tool when communicating with the general public. Facts are necessary but not sufficient.
I don't think this is true. There was already a blackbox analysis of the SE presented at Blackhat and it concluded it seemed pretty secure: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12231758. They specifically mentioned that there wasn't much code in the SE and so the attack surface was pretty small.

Interesting. I was skeptical of probiotics but the evidence seems to be suggesting otherwise.

This kind of builds on meta-analyses showing that probiotic use cuts rates of antibiotic-associated C. difficile infection.

Young children have very unstable microflora systems, so the results make sense from that perspective also.
Is the fault of the developer that use it, the developers that build it, the ones that proclaim is a good tool, electron, node, html, css, javascript and the rest of the industry.
Wow, that's very high. I'm curious about whether the angels' share noticeably alters the ABV, from the time the distillate is put into the cask, to when it's bottled (as I'm assuming different evaporation rates for water & ethanol).

Edit: https://www.bruichladdich.com/article/the-angels-share
Is quite interesting:

"Casks stored in humid conditions lose a greater proportion of alcohol than those stored at lower humidity levels. Conditions of low humidity draws more water through the staves - leaving a higher proportion of alcohol in the cask. "
> Macros can't take a variable number of arguments, which leads to the proliferation of Special Forms which could perfectly be macros if it weren't for this limitation.

This is not true.

We have only two variadic special forms: "for" and "with".

"for" needs to be implemented as a special form as it emits some optimizations that are only available at the Core Erlang level.

"with" needs to be implemented as a special form as it has different lexical properties than a bunch of nested cases.

None of those could be implemented with macros.

Regarding whitespace sensitiveness, most languages have subtle issues, to varying degrees but especially if you have optional line terminators. Although it is true one or two extra cases appear in Elixir due to optional parentheses.

FP is not gonna wall you off from doing stuff like this. For example, and this is just off the top of my head, you could:

* provide an explicit sequencing of when actors take their turns, passing updated resources to each in turn. This is your "step by step" imperative approach, and you're basically writing a main game loop.
* don't sequence the actors, but implement a lock on the resource using a TVar. This is the simplest async approach.
* many more approaches I haven't thought of

The point of FP is to be provide as much information about the logic of the program as possible. If two actors can move to the same point at the same time, then you need to write down logic to handle that case, whether actors move in sequence or independently.

Not writing down that logic because "I have an imperative language" is how you get bugs, especially race conditions.
Been to Chicago a few times and it's much different than Cleveland(Lived there for 4 years). Cleveland is more similar to Pittsburgh than Chicago. People in Cleveland associate with both the rust belt identity and the Midwest identity.
I believe the future of companies will be internal startups vying for investment dollars. With disruption challenging even the most traditional and stable industries, we'll think back and muse to ourselves as to how political and beauracratic we were.

That being said politics will always exist, but not the debilitating level (IMO) to which we've seen in the past.
The app-level "mitigation" is that media isn't automatically loaded. You are still just as vulnerable after you decide to play that innocuous-looking MP4 file.
This is all more or less true with the current public code. We're building our own standalone stack that will interop with TF, Keras, PyTorch, etc. Basically we are fixing the problem for AMD and Intel on desktop but also embedded chip vendors as well. Currently our stack runs Google's Xception net in Keras slightly faster than TF 1.2 + cuDNN 5.1 on Tesla K80 so there's good evidence OpenCL itself is not that slow.
> YouTube didn't build ContentID out of the kindness of their heart.

It built it to settle a lawsuit that was on appeal that it kept winning (at summary judgement, twice) against Viacom, largely because YouTube’s long term goals were better served by friendly relations with big copyright holders.
Yup, that grabbed my attention, too (so much so that I find a find-in-page for "2 years"). I had no idea things were that bad.

Here's another article (really, radio transcript) on this phenomenon:

http://www.npr.org/2017/07/31/540515367/familiar-looking-num...

One thing that this doesn't mention, but which I heard somewhere, is don't call that number back and ask "Why did you call me?" In case it isn't obvious, the caller IDs are spoofed using random numbers, and the person who has the number listed doesn't know their number is being used this way.

One amusing anecdote from the NPR piece is the person who received a call with a caller ID of ... their own phone number!
I didn't write this article, though I posted it. I've found this to be true in my life. If you assume positive intent, that engenders trust, which can actually increase goodwill. The same is true in reverse.

That doesn't mean you should be a sucker. But assuming the best of people has made me happier.

It says he had total control over the media, and that he had huge approval. Neither is true today. The last three presidents (Bush, Obama, Trump), were around 60% (excluding 9/11) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_app...

Just as a counter point I've got a cheap C720 I got 4 years ago for lightweight mucking about, and it has held up to daily use perfectly fine. I wiped ChromeOS and installed mainline Linux on it, which has great support for it. No problems with the keyboard, screen, power supply, or anything, and I've had to open it to remove the flash-protect screw, and it's survived several moves, travel and outdoor use.

I suppose I could be just lucky, but as is I could probably use it for another 4 years without trouble. The biggest issue is the soldered in RAM which is only 2GB. But that's plenty for emacs, light firefox, and even videos since it's got hardware decoding acceleration.
>"Have a problem? Science and tech will eventually find the answer."

I used to believe this myself when I was first getting into tech in school and reading Kurzweil's The Singularity is Near.

Then I got into the real world and realized the hardest problems to solve are not technical problems, but people problems.
Same. I also really, really like the AirPods. It's gotten to the point where sometimes I forget they're in my ears and it feels like the music is just playing in my head. It's a really weird but exciting feeling for me.

I've always been curious if genetic diseases are not only heritable but also spontaneously generated. If two genes combine to produce a genetic disorder and you remove those two genes from the population does that really remove the possibility for that disease or does it reduce the probability to a very low number?

I guess if you screen every embryo it wouldn't matter how they developed the bad gene they'd terminate that life anyways.

Hi!

- What about privacy, is filming workplaces in high resolution ok with customers, their employees, the law and unions?

- Your FAQ states that you are selling the whole package for a yearly fee. Isn't that quite a risk when the customer is using mobile data as connectivity and having devices in the field that can and will fail and have to be replaced? Do you pay then a contractor to replace a single hardware node at your customers location?

- Have you looked at warehouses as customers? I suppose real estate is their #1 cost center :)
Maybe the GP means the DISPLAY? People couldn't be bothered using xauth and even just had xhost + (allow anyone).

Although all open offices aren't necessarily circular in shape, the design theory behind the Panopticon[1] and open offices are eerily similar.

"The building circular—A cage, glazed—a glass lantern about the Size of Ranelagh—The prisoners in their cells, occupying the circumference—The officers in the centre. By blinds and other contrivances, the inspectors concealed […] from the observation of the prisoners: hence the sentiment of a sort of omnipresence—The whole circuit reviewable with little, or if necessary without any, change of place. One station in the inspection part affording the most perfect view of every cell."

"The architecture incorporates a tower central to a circular building that is divided into cells, each cell extending the entire thickness of the building to allow inner and outer windows. The occupants of the cells are thus backlit, isolated from one another by walls, and subject to scrutiny both collectively and individually by an observer in the tower who remains unseen. Toward this end, Bentham envisioned not only venetian blinds on the tower observation ports but also maze-like connections among tower rooms to avoid glints of light or noise that might betray the presence of an observer."

It really depends on what you need. I would be careful around soil based species, and avoid D-lactic acid producers (which eliminates a whole lot of probiotics), but apart from that you can just get what you need. E.g. if you have a problem with histamine intolerance you could go for strains that eat/reduce histamine. If you want better mood, you could try L Plantarum 299v or Bifidobacterium Longum or L casei shirota.
Security works best in layers.

My origional comment might be a bit simplistic because In my case in order to not be caught they would have to hack not just my lock but also have to hack my security system network (separate from my home Wifi) and disable the alarms and camera.

But you're right not everyone has layers.

Although one could argue a traditional non-smart lock is not hard to "hack" and leave no evidence either.

Yet nearly every time I use a player that isn't YouTube's it stinks. Cursor doesn't disappear. Inconsistent interaction model (does double click move in/out of full screen? Do the arrow keys work? Does 'm' mute? Etc.)

It's not just about the ability to play a video, you have to get the UX right as well, and most don't.
I think Reddit should focus on short videos first. A middle term between a gif and a youtube video that would be perfect on any smartphone. Video is very expensive and there are very few examples of companies that profit by hosting without having a pay subscription system. In fact, every big video platform is trying to make easier for content creators profit from their creations. Reddit doesn't have any idea how to make money now, and will not be able to help others. Make great content with regularity is expensive.

They should only give the option to people who wish to host sporadic content in a simpler way, especially using smatphone. But without focusing on being the first choice for content creators until they have a great strategy to help them make money.
I think I can sum it up like this: no worldwide delivery for a substantial amount of products you can buy online + higher shipping costs + import cost (in my country, anything above ~30 bucks) + occasional delivery failure + at least a month of waiting for the actual delivery.

I once payed ~$30 import tax for ~$40 worth of books from Amazon. I ended up purchasing Kindle (no delivery inside of my country, so I had it delivered to another country + didn't declare it at the airport) just to avoid dealing with all of the above for book deliveries.

And I'm not living anywhere remotely inaccessible. I've lived most of my life like 500 meters + a river away from the European Union country.

Apparently, 2/3 of cancers caught early are curable.

Couldn't find a direct source but I read that here
https://www.technologyreview.com/s/607944/grails-1-billion-b...

"Grail Inc., a Silicon Valley startup that last year began laying out a bet that the “cure” for most cancers isn’t a new drug, but tests that catch tumors at an early stage when they can still be successfully treated."
> That's the US judicial system. I could also pull examples from the legislative system.

All of them involved someone breaking the law on the books, and either being held accountable (e.g., Duke Power)—which I'm not sure is actual progress, though the passage of the law, which, in these examples, was usually a result of civil disobedience, might be—or having the law invalidated after the fact (e.g., Roe).

So I'm not sure how that supports progress without lawbreaking.
> It says he had total control over the media, and that he had huge approval. Neither is true today.

Well, fortunately such an accident of Geography is not present in the current situation.
There are plenty of ways to significantly improve a codebase through review besides deep sweeping architectural changes. As you know, the goal of a review varies widely depending on how big the project, its maturity, how many people contribute to it, etc.

Things like not know about certain shortcut functions in the standard library, improving design pattern usage, docstrings, and otherwise improving modularity, decomposition, cyclomatic complexity, consistency, etc. Code Climate goes far but doesn't do all of these things as good as an experienced engineer.
