If I were trying to prove I had the data, I would pick a very rich but private street, say in Bevery Hills or Jackson Hole, and release all data from all people who lived there.

Chaos.
I fail to understand the need to re-use terms from other fields in a completely twisted way. For those like me wondering what an "idempotent API" is: making multiple identical requests has the same effect as making a single request[1].

Then you have other people using the exact same term to refer to a (seemingly) totally different concept: An idempotent operation completes no more than one time[2].

Maybe I'm thicker than the average web developer, but I think that there must be a simpler way to explain this concept. Specially without reusing a term that, formally, means something completely different[3] than any of the possible interpretations that I have come up with so far.

Fees for freezing/unfreezing sound like a scam - it literally costs them zero to do this (since they have already made the system for doing it) and given the rampant fraud for which they have little protection - they should just make it easy and free. I am generally very laissez-faire person, but this is one of the cases where I'd probably be grudgingly ok with some regulation.
Couldn't it easily be automated? A lot of upfront work but then just monitoring.
Agreed that this is happening; laundering is pejorative, but AFAICT, the Bar has said it's all kosher so long a lawyer is ultimately responsible for the advice and making the effort reasonable.

So, for our friends at Atrium, whether or not their systems 'practice law,' as long as that product is 'given' by the client's attorney... doesn't that look like it meets the UPL hurdle? (At least at this oversimplified level, IANYL)
No nothing extra. The code does vectorise well. But even if the result is 20%, it would make quite a bit of difference to the results presented in this paper.
You absolutely need government force to enforce the rule that you can't use a gun to make somebody give you their wallet. That is not what I disagree with. Calling this a market regulation is what I disagree with.

> You can't have free market except for this one little rule... that's just a very weakly regulated market.

In what sense is that a market at all? Market implies that the transactions are voluntary. Unregulated market implies that all voluntary transactions are legal. A regulated market is a market in which some transactions are disallowed even if they are voluntary. Minimum wage, for example, makes it illegal for you to offer your services for $5 per hour.
Off-topic (but somewhat related, perhaps?) question for any of you who and submitted the form (no cheating, please!):

What type of SSL certificate -- DV or EV -- did the Legalist web site have, if any?

I'm just interested in {whether|how many of} you bothered to look before submitting your information.

(I'm asking because I was reminded of a recent HN discussion about DV/EV certificates and this seemed as good of a "test case" as any.)
Wonderful!

What's the main challenge for you as it relates to the product? i.e. are you limited on needing more customers / stronger product market fit, do you have insane product market fit and limited on hiring, etc?

Is this a for profit thing?

At this point it could well be about keeping backwards compatibility. There are some obscure cases where the bash on mac behaves differently to a modern one. And there are going to be scripts relying on it.
At least downloads are hosted on S3.
Being overburdened with customizations can be an indication of failure in the product management team/processes. Customer problems are rarely as unique as they believe them to be. Great product managers will hear the request but find the underlying need behind the request and build a solution to address that need rather than just writing up the customer request and passing it to the engineering team. It's over-quoted, but Ford's line about his customers asking for faster horses is apropos. Hear the need behind the request and intelligently address that and you'll arrive at a coherent product rather than a collection of one-off features.
It sure would!

Unfortunately, At this point, the only politically feasible option is to escape the bay area.
Remember when YT immediately counted every view regardless of how long someone watched, and there was this plague of clickbait? For example headless women showing their cleavage in the thumbnail, because there were enough horny idiots dumb enough to click the thumbnail.

That's why they switched to 30 seconds initially, and now to something more percentage based i think

(Funny enough it is practically impossible to Google the articles that described these changes when they first happened; I read them bs k then and I've been looking for them for ten minutes to no avail)
How do you show "willful noncompliance" if they were hacked?
It had to do with the number of dimensions and combinations that were being looped over. That kind of scale difference generally comes from combinatoric explosion -- exponential or high polynomial time vs linear or log-linear time.

The rewrite realized an approximation was reasonable in place of a more "correct" algorithm.

Note that I'm not saying Python was the cause, but the ease of reading and writing code may have helped the programmer come to this algorithm. Instead of stressing about bugs and deadlines. Algorithm choice seems correlated with language choice, in my experience.

> I guess in that case they would just break the license rather than complying with the "penalty" clause.

Probably.

> Just sneakily replace the LICENSE.txt and add "you agree to pay 50% of your income and your firstborn child"... I don't think many would catch that.

A clause like that is completely unenforceable in the US. Any judge would throw it out.
I didn't read Amazon's requirements doc; was an out-of-the-box "educated workforce" a requirement? It seems like that could be seeded with new grad hires and existing Amazon employees who are willing to relocate for much lower cost of living. If Amazon is thinking big enough and long term enough they could also invest in improving the education system in the area at the secondary and higher level (e.g., grants for faculty hires and curriculum development).
Did PowerShell really catch on?

Was this difference so good that it was incorporated on other platforms?

I really liked the idea of the PowerShell, but somehow it felt to me that it never really became "a thing" and the Windows Subsystem for Linux move from MS felt like they gave up on the whole shell thing in the end. :\

If I'm reading this right, the blacklist only applies to people who leak their legally purchased copies, not everyone who's ever used a pirated copy.
Bitcoin and Etherium are used too much for money laundering. They need to be regulated. There is also so much energy used to mine the coins. More than many countries. We need to really think about what we get out of building a money a laundering technology primarily used on the dark net.
Pretty much. They took a run at us about 10 years ago. I wrote a sort of semi-popular blog post about figuring out what crypto an app uses by looking for constants for particular crypto algorithms using IDA, and they looked me up in their license database and freaked out publicly because I wasn't registered. We privately pointed out that we were using a letter-coded license on behalf of a client, and they called us liars because they could only think of a few clients they had with such a licensing arrangement (obviously, we weren't in a position to tell them which client it was).

This is, again, for a simple mention of IDA in a public blog post.

After Ilfak left DataRescue to do Hex-rays, his Hex-rays IDA pages kept the one blacklisting the dude they had caught pirating.

Amusingly, the DataRescue IDA page is basically only about piracy now:

http://www.datarescue.com/idabase/

Whatever the "expectation" about piracy there is for IDA, it seems safe to say the IDA people themselves don't share it.
I've had nothing but trouble with Here maps (now HERE WeGo), in the eastern USA at least. Its UI/UX is sadly far behind GMaps. I would love an alternative...
Apple has never shied away from creating a product that cannibalizes another of their products market, because they know if they don't someone else will and they will be left with nothing.

The reason probably is that it wouldn't be a good product.
I read that as "Bitter Children," which seems equally likely.
You'd be surprised how many companies aspire to hire Wayne Gretzky - and then complain when he wants new skates every season
Just build a plugin/extension system.

Then you have a base product you market to new customers and a developing marketplace of plugins which you can likely sell for a lot if your product is focused well enough.
"The effect is half as important as being born to a teenage mother. In addition, larger effects of parental expectations on teenage pregnancy and motherhood are found for teenage girls under-performing at school than for those performing above the mean of the academic achievement distribution."
...which is, you know, interesting, but wayyyyy more targeted than the assertion of the article that is at the top of this thread.
It's expensive, but it probably doesn't cost nearly enough. IDA is the Microsoft Word of software reverse engineering, and its low price relative to the bill rates of people who actually use it is a boat anchor for the entire reversing market. It's difficult to charge more than IDA charges for new products. Since the market for reversing products is always going to involve a relatively small number of people doing very high-value work, it's hard to build a sustainable business in it.

Now that IDA has very serious competition, from Binja and Hopper, it's unlikely that problem is going to resolve itself in the long term.
Yeah, but it'd be easy to repackage from a million other sources.
Ok, fine. "Is that because of unions or some other market force such as high demand for white board walls relative to the supply of contractors".
Ah, the man behind why I chose macOS for my development environment. Thanks for costing me a bunch of money mate.
Right -- legitimate competition and recognized Fair Use [1] could do the same the the same thing, and (at least in the US) simply reading off newspaper headlines isn't considered a copyright violation.

The question is whether they did something illegal that hurt their industry.

Has anyone with IDA Pro had luck with mcsema (or anything similar)?

The idea of taking arbitrary x86/amd64 binaries and converting them to LLVM IR is a concept that fascinates me and I've always been curious what the optimization paths would be -- if you took a go binary output, converted it to LLVM IR, and then compiled with an optimizing LLVM pass how does the result compare, for instance.

Is this not a relatively direct import from boost:

“Invisible Counselors” and Entrepreneurial Journey
Never became a thing? You're talking like it's already done and abandoned. You need to recalibrate your perspective to longer timelines. Every release of Windows server removes more and more of the GUI, and nano server can only be setup using powershell commands. MS is completely all-in on this and the WSL is not going to replace it by a long shot.
"The term 'consumer report' means any written, oral, or other communication of any information by a consumer reporting agency bearing on a consumer’s credit worthiness, credit standing, credit capacity, character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living which is used or expected to be used or collected in whole or in part for the purpose of serving as a factor in establishing the consumer’s eligibility for [credit]."

It's a fairly broad definition. Per press release, Equifax made a data communication of this info to someone who did not show a permissible purpose under § 604.

I would argue that Equifax had months to patch CVE-2017-5638, but they did not. Their web application continued furnishing parts of my consumer report to anyone capable of running https://github.com/mazen160/struts-pwn.
What does that have to do with unions?

Furthermore, there is no need for anyone to care what spacing scheme their team uses, after configuring their editor on day 1 with that team. I have Vim convert Python code to tab indentation when opening files, and have it convert to 4-spaces indentation when saving a Python code file. No one should be wasting even a flicker of brain activity over indentation in the 21st century, regardless of how backwards everyone else's preferences are.

While you're at it, please also s/\s+$//g on save. Those unintentional trailing spaces really clutter up Git history, and that comprehensive, clean history is what enables the team leads to do their job without bugging you on Slack. It also signals carelessness, or at least a lack of care for personal tools, and has your name attached to it.
Is this implemented yet? The paper you linked is a draft. I'm glad C++ is doing this.

> Historically, C++ used includes so that it could be compatible with C.

I think it is more the case that C++ slowly splintered off C and never broke free completely of #include. Rust is also quite compatible with C without supporting anything like #include. It even has a module system!
I want to disagree with you about scaling: most formulas that one might reasonably come up with don't depend in any serious way on the number of bits. So suppose you have a formula that you can test exhaustively with 32-bit floats, and you were to implement it on 64-bit floats. If it fails a couple of times on 32-bit floats, giving it a failure rate of a couple per billion, the same failures are likely to show up in testing with 64-bit floats, a couple per billion. A couple per billion is good enough to be triggered by purely random tests. It's only specifically the exhaustive part that doesn't scale, but that part is not really necessary for this to be useful.

Z3's support for floating point theories is really cool, but sometimes the simpler brute-force approach works too!

IOW, you could change the message to "Your formula's failure rate is either exactly zero or larger than a few per billion, so random testing is good enough", and I think it would still be good, insufficiently-applied advice.
This was an extreme, but all subcultures have their own hermetic languages. Local slangs and expressions that get popularized inside of a group, almost meaningless to any outsider.
> so that my personal information is NOT going to be leaked by Legalist again in the future for the second time?

No problem. If that happens, Legalist would be happy to finance you suing them in a small claims court!
I haven't met a single person who likes PowerShell. It's perhaps the textbook example of ugly design that looks technically consistent but utterly unfriendly and mind bogglingly verbose. I am not saying Windows command line is great or bash is best, but at least those things are designed for humans at certain extent. I have written few ps scripts and virtually every line, every step, every task almost always required googling. I don't know anything about Snover but my image of PowerShell designer was someone who couldn't write more sophisticated parser and compensated that lack of skills and creativity to solve fundamental challenges in designing OO shell by offloading complexity and unfriendlyness on users. Basically just reverse of Steve Jobs.

It was aweful when PowerShell team tried to shove their ugly creation down people's throats by removing Shift+right click menu for "Command prompt here" by "PowerShell here". Not a sign of good product when you have to force it upon people. The designers of this thing should have been demoted, let alone making them "Distinguished Engineer".
That's for sure why people participate in class-action lawsuits against big companies like Red Bull, but isn't the whole point that people have had their privacy violated? I can't see a plaintiff showing up to court and not saying something along the lines of "Equifax lost my data and I want to be compensated."

Maybe Plaintiff John Doe isn't going to be able to exhaustively demonstrate quantifiable material damages, but maybe the court hands out a default judgment.

The real opportunistic money-grabbers here are Equifax...they took their own data breach, which is basically historically unprecedented in its scale, and used it as a way to shill one of their own credit score monitoring products. That, IMO, is despicable. If it's easier to sue these guys for their negligence, so be it.
This totally. My wife is Vulcan, and I have also discovered there is a huge undercurrent of Vulcans which operate as a kind of shadow society. Being married to a Vulcan isn't enough to get admission into this culture, and neither is speaking Vulcan, or having Vulcan children. But it's a defensive measure. Safety in numbers and distrust of outsiders.
fish should be the default shell on macOS, possibly with a cool custom theme. then again it might turn off some of the hardcore bearded UNIX people who use it.

Equifax left a critical security vulnerability open for quite a while after it was announced, and confirmed that it was used in the breach.

In a statement, Apache Struts wrote, "This vulnerability was patched on 7 March 2017, the same day it was announced ... In conclusion, the Equifax data compromise was due to their failure to install the security updates provided in a timely manner."

Plane pilots are unionized, at least in UK or US. Your average major airline pilot makes around $130/hour.

Do you consider them a common laborer, like a delivery driver, or a profession that doesn't require a deep understanding of the subject matter?
yeah, it's not the easiest to circumvent. 7.0 will probably see a scene release tho.
This is terrible advice. In litigation you only get one bite at the apple - if you sue in SC court and win $100, it extinguishes your ability to sue again for new damages. And let's face it, our real damages aren't apparent yet.

Also, SC is probably your worst option, as far as ROI goes. If you want a more strategic sense of your legal options, check out:

In my small experience no. Linux is super powerful. It is darn simple to pipe commands to each other and always know the output is text. Powershell passes .NET objects, so even if you think you should be able to easily pass the output from one command to another, in reality it doesn't work out nearly so well and puts a lot of cognitive load on me for even simple things. For complex things, the language is much nicer than BASH, but that is irrelevant as most people aren't using BASH for the complex stuff. I use the full range of Linux commands for simple stuff and use Python or Perl for the more complex stuff. I really want to like PS and have put a lot of time into it, but in the end I only see it filling the role of someone scripting the deployment of user permissions and server configurations. So it is great for a very small subset of IT work, but doesn't give the user the power over general OS use like Linux does.

Volta* architecture. Granted I'm sure Tesla was quite expensive too, but not that expensive. Pascal (Volta's predecessor) was in the billions however.
For the most part it is completely optional to configure it and use elisp... it will ask you if you want to install a layer (group of packages) when you open up a filetype that it knows about and can handle. there is some configuration akin to setting up completion backend, linters, formatters etc that are applicable to your language/filetype of choice. The benefit of that is that the external tools are kept external where development of them can continue unimpeded by the development of the main text editor.

similarly, once you get to know the language quirks, it's a decent language that is basically a DSL for text editing. The power you get from being able to lookup how something was implemented by the text editor developers easily is extremely powerful.

If you like vim's idea of modal editing, emacs is 100% all about that. languages are major modes, minor modes are functions and keybindings that can be enabled and grouped together at will. transient buffers are used to send output to and are treated as normal buffers that you can do things to. The architecture and extensiblity of emacs is pretty amazing actually. Every key press is just a function and every key can be rebound based on current context using things like mode maps that get layered on top of everything and have precedence based on where you inserted the binding with sensible fallbacks when required.

Disclaimer: I love vim as a concept but hate viml and the plugins that were hampered by the lame programming language that was designed by bram.

if you have not tried magit and org mode you just don't really understand the power of emacs and the power of having everything be a function. spacemacs just makes setting up that powerful environment fairly painless but it's still a very old architecture with some warts.
