As these are more answers of opinion rather than factual questions about the network, I'm going to add a massive disclaimer here that "opinions may differ about what is or is not concerning".

1) No, because I would personally advise people in China do not whitelist sites whose purpose is to access such content. It is not even clear to me that people in China would want to run an exit node at all. There are billions of people in the world in countries other than China that can run exit nodes for that content so people in China will be able to access it without fear, and without anyone in China taking on that level of liability.

2) No, but with the great benefit that because everyone is using the same network, even if somehow (and I do not think this will be the case) there are only a small number of nodes willing to access that content (and one would expect that, in the eventual limit, this number should not be smaller than the number of Tor exit nodes that currently exist; though again: I think it will be much larger), then they will be cloaked within the content everyone else is accessing.

Essentially, it doesn't work to say "people who need access to a secure messaging service should use a secure protocol and everyone else can use Snapchat", and it also doesn't work to say "people who need to access criticism of President Xi can use Tor and everyone else can use the regular Internet". I want a billion people who are also doing things that would be considered insane on Tor--like browsing Netflix!--to be using this service, and to pull that off we need lots of exit nodes, which in turn means incentivized traffic and whitelists.

Put another way: I don't care if there are only 0.0001% of nodes that let you access criticism of President Xi if that is 0.0001% of some insanely large number and the result is "at least as many nodes as Tor", as that itself solves the #1 problem using Tor: that even accessing the Tor website already marks you as someone who is suspicious (as it is here in the United States and the surveillance programs we see).

i actually bought one.

1: hard as hell to pair.

2: circular video does not work since a lot of people want to port out the videos away from snapchat.

3: i wear glasses, the lens on these frames are not circular. couldn't find anyone in the bay area who did custom lenses (at the time).

4: towards the end of the year (2016), a lot of people wanted them but were frustrated that even if they got to the vending machine there was zero guarantee they would even get one. at most they had ~70ish in quantity per day. way too low. drove short term hype up though.

5: no marketing at all for this thing.
Apple doesn't do guerilla marketing, though.
So can composition.

It makes me sad for the reason you said, it’s most often abused.
Is this part of the price we pay for low cost products made in China? Would we have this pollution in the U.S. if we didn't export our manufacturing?

You are allowed to trade based on non-public information. It doesn't matter if it's fair or not.

However, I'm not sure why this wouldn't be fair. More accurate valuations seem like a positive thing.
I find this so very weird as I remember the days when Microsoft locked their users into msft only solutions. Now we have msft competing on interoperability, while Apple is the new monopolist that ties their customers down to locked in environment.

I suppose this is evidence that governments should be more quick to interfere with the free market if a monopolist is playing unfair.
>For example, people with anxiety and depression may be more likely to join a club like Mensa.

I already covered that though -- and said that if there was a reason to suspect a problem with the selection, then that would be an argument (and would have to be explicitly brought forth as such).

Alone that Mensa is a small subset of the high IQ population (as was put forth) is not.
As with most things in the US, urban/rural/suburban and class divides matter much more than regional or state ones.

In the urban metro areas I've lived as an adult, seeing kids take transit to school alone or in groups is totally normal - admittedly from a slightly older age than your example in Germany, but definitely still grade-school kids.

In the suburbs where I grew up, it was typical for kids to ride bikes to school. There wasn't any transit other than the school district's buses, and many kids were dropped off by their parents in cars, but some degree of independence was still there. This was a middle-class suburban area outside of a major city in FL where most parents worked in two-income families.

The horror stories you hear about "helicopter parenting" in the US mostly come from wealthier exurbs where, for lack of better way to put it, there aren't any real problems... so bored homemakers micro-manage every aspect of their community and worry themselves senseless about silly things. These are often master-planned communities, often built in isolated semi-rural areas, where it is difficult to go _anywhere_ without a car, and transit aside from buses to/from school is nonexistent, so the very idea of a child even having somewhere to go or something to do without a parent escorting them there in a car is seemingly insane. It contributes a lot to the perception that kids shouldn't be alone without an adult until they turn 16, can operate a car, and then can travel safely from the confines of a vehicle. Its horrible for a whole bunch of reasons.

If you want to move to the US, there are definitely still plenty of areas where kids can a normal, independent young life - but especially in the SF Bay area, I'd be very careful about picking a town/neighborhood where such a thing is accepted. It won't be universal.
Good grief, can they even spell hubris. "...but Marcus Aurelius and St Augustine didn't have _the free market and technology_". These people are completely ideologically indoctrinated, they might as well be in North Korea.
1. Based on the paper, it seems ORCHID by itself (without bandwidth burning. not sure if this is trivial to get right. is there tooling?) is as vulnerable to traffic correlation attacks as one might expect. Are there any other known weaknesses? I would expect a "limitations" section in red letters on the front page, instead of the nebulous and likely wrong "the NSA can't hack it either" claim.

2. Given that todays secure overlay networks generally offer extremely bad performance in the Mbit region compared to using the underlay where 10G uplinks are becoming widespread for servers, and the extra hops increase latency, do you think secure overlays will ever be near enough to underlay speed to become widely used? Do you have experience how well ORCHID scales up? And out?

[edit: Don't mean to sound too harsh. I am very glad you're doing work in this area.]

That's an interesting take on the matter -- and I also agree that while this is a real problem, Lisp-everywhere or X-everywhere is also not necessarily the solution.

The problem with the "best tool for the job" is that it leaves us with 2000 tools we need to integrate -- which is an even bigger problem often than what the tools collectively help us solve.
Why not just go for an ISO standard definition, like 9000 or 9001? It means to meet specifications. Specifications specify sold gold and it is solid, then it is quality. If it is gold plate then it is not.
Interesting slides, though the end with the simulation goes a bit... odd. I suspect some context or overriding narration is lost in going from dominoes to the simulation hypothesis.

I also believe that the Wang tile set is misplaced in the "accidentally Turing complete". That was part of his conjecture. From Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hao_Wang_(academic)

> One of Wang's most important contributions was the Wang tile. He showed that any Turing machine can be turned into a set of Wang tiles. The first noted example of aperiodic tiling is a set of Wang tiles, whose nonexistence Wang had once conjectured, discovered by his student Robert Berger in 1966.

He was able to transform the TM into tiles - that was their purpose. Their importance is in the relation in reducing the periodic tiling to solving the halting problem.

From https://www.cs.duke.edu/courses/fall08/cps234/projects/tilin...

> Previous to Berger’s result, Wang himself showed a restricted version of the tiling problem, where only a certain tile was allowed at the origin, to be undecidable by reducing the halting problem to it. This and later work in tilings gave a method for simulating Turing machines using tiles, paving the way for thinking of tiles as a model of Turing universal computation.

Also fun reading on Wang tiles - http://math.oregonstate.edu/~math_reu/proceedings/REU_Procee... which shows some of the programs written in wang tile sets (palindrome validation fibonacci sequence, and addition of two numbers). A better view of those programs can be seen at https://grahamshawcross.com/2012/10/12/wang-tiles-and-turing... (consider your next bathroom remodel project)

Make 2FA mandatory for users who were breached or are using passwords that are in known password lists.

I don't know how much you spent in support, but U2F Zeros are dirt cheap. You could probably just proactively mail them to your clients and encourage them to use 2FA.

Or offer discounts or other perks to users with 2FA.

> The harder it is to fire someone, the more reluctant companies will be to hire people, and the more choosy they'll be.

That's true in theory, and I agree that it is a factor, but there also are many other factors involved in hiring/firing decisions.

Also, it's not much benefit to a worker to be hired and fired with regularity because it's easy; people are not commodities, to be traded, moved or bought & sold like dollars or widgets. Finally, workers need to be able to protect themselves from unscrupulous employers. So the question is, how do we find a balance?

As far as public interest goes, I'm not interested in making corporate executives' jobs easier or in making corporations more profitable; I'm interested in people having good jobs and being productive. Corporate profit, job market liquidity, etc., aren't bad, and profitable corporations are necessary for good and productive jobs, but they are a means and not an end.
People do that all the time for other portals in general. When I played regularly a few years ago it was every few months or so that we saw a huge field linked up near the North Pole (Svalbard or similar). Often the field would be real but spoofers would take it down; sometimes the opposite happened but not as often.
The actual payment tickets (a small data structured signed by the sender) may be sent every 100 packets - we have yet to configure this. The cool thing is that we could send one ticket per packet, but likely that would be too much CPU overhead (ECDSA verification is bottleneck when verifying a ticket)
This is the very first time I've heard about snapchat spectacles, and I frequently use snapchat... Yea, they failed pretty horribly at doing PR.

I dunno, they are/were demoing them at Universal Orlando and plenty of people were checking them out. Price tag probably scared most away (who's dumping 100+ on glasses at a theme park?).

I'd buy a pair if they were more like traditional action cam style glasses. The technical limitations right now make them far too expensive for what they are.
Kindle, Fire, and Echo products seem pretty successful. Same with Pixel and Home. Those come from software companies.
> In theory losses on derivatives would be offset by gains in the value of Apple’s underlying business.

That is, in fact, exactly the point of them. If the derivatives are hedging currency exposure, then a move in exchange rates should lead to a change in their value equal and opposite to the change in value of the overseas assets. The whole idea is that they neutralise the effect of changes in exchange rates.
> When is enough enough? No-one gets to say.

Yet we do get to say. A big cause of the political instability in the US is due to increasing inequality and a declining quality of life for much of the country. If such economic forces cause protectionist legislation to be passed, isn't that the people getting a say?

Also, the idea that you must jump on the global capitalist bandwagon to remain relevant is odd to me. Is being an economic powerhouse the only factor in a country's relevance?
Oauth helps, because people are more likely to have a decent password already for Gmail/Facebook/whatever than to make a new good password on the spot to try your site.

If you require an email address, you could send an email with a link (or code) to login and set a long loved cookie to keep users logged in. Again, it's likely that users will have a good password on their email.

Both of these options have negatives in that they tie your user to an external identity provider.
We've created the beginnings of this type of culture at my employer. More and more, developers reach out to the security team to point out their security conscious thoughts on how to improve new features or the existing codebases.

But, this took over a decade. It certainly didn't happen overnight. The inception for this is in training, a security team that markets itself, and in constant communication with managers.

Key to this is that devs don't set the direction of their coding projects, which is where many security teams get it wrong. The C-level on down to team managers set the direction. They need to be sold on the security team and the strategic value of their output. Just like passing functional tests, passing security tests needs to be part of a minimum viable product in a way that doesn't stop shipment of products.

> The suggestion that people spend a lot of effort all the time is clearly not going to work -- why can't we ease that barrier by focusing on better tooling so security becomes a natural part of the process, enforced by actual mechanisms?

Because, in 2017 developers need to understand more about security than they did just 3 years ago. Universities really haven't kept up with this. The reason you can't push security off to tooling, other than the minimal low-hanging fruit, is that human ingenuity is required. Vulnerabilities happen from wrong function calls, yes, but also through using the wrong types of calls for the particular purpose.
I believe making munitions is also quite profitable. You might be on to something.
I don't know. I think that it will be a long time until the benefits of working in regular cooperation with others will disappear.
If we assume for the sake of argument that the NDA explicitly states you will be fired for violations, Apple effectively has no choice: uphold their end of the agreement and fire the engineer or avoid potentially bad PR while also signaling to the rest of the engineers that the NDA means jack squat.

Is it harsh, yes. But that was the agreement, and both side were very aware of it.
There's a difference between being an upscale brand and actually turning away customers. Apple and BMW are elite brands, but if you're poorer but save up for one because you want it that bad, they'll happily take your money. Snapchat and Abercrombie are looking at people who want to give them money and telling them to go away.

IEEE compliance only gives you guarantees on individual arithmetic operations. Vector machines take away control over the order in which operations are performed, but floating-point addition is not associative. Changing the order in which the terms of a sum are added may lead to vastly different results, due to, e.g., truncation.
1) The implementation is not done yet, but the code will be available in the near future (I believe on GitHub, which for people who have met me or seen any of my talks makes me sad, but of course that is where all the cool kids are these days).

2) The network is not a centralized service. Assuming I understand your question (and I probably do not), one may as well ask where the privacy policy is for Bitcoin. When the network launches, there will be nodes run by us, and one could believe they are logging in a way that is different from other nodes. This is something that we are sensitive to, and, if there are any such modifications (and it is not clear that there will be), they will all be available and visible to the public (as even required by our choice of open source license!). Of course, I can make no such claim for nodes run by other people or companies, but that is always the case and we fall back to the underlying security properties of the network.

3) AGPL3

4) This is still being worked on, partially because I think it is incredibly important that we make it extremely clear to anyone who does give us copyright assignment that the code they give us won't one day be forked by some future version of the entity that owns the code to build a closed-source project, and getting that right in a way that it can't ever be changed is legal time we haven't finished allocating.

5) Yes! As one high-level and in my mind very interesting example, Tor actually is a centralized service where nine directory servers are able to decide the state of the network; we are accepting nothing less than a fully-decentralized system.

6) I do not have a particularly precise answer to that question, but the answer I believe in is "not long at all", particularly given that users pay for the bandwidth they are using from other people. Under one argument, we would be self-sufficient instantaneously because any bandwidth being routed through a server we set up to help bootstrap the network would be paid for by a user.

7&8) This is a question that would lead to a very detailed answer, and so I hope I can refer you to our in-progress whitepaper. If you have any further questions, I would be happy to try to get them answered ;P.

9) It is my personal opinion that, as bandwidth is a "wasting good", that it will be extremely cheap to purchase bandwidth. I will refer you to section 7.2 of the whitepaper, "How Much Will a Packet Cost?".
George Hotz: I Can Make Your Car Drive Itself for Under $1,000
> It may not be cost effective, but then it's still not a lone developer problem. It's a management decision.

That's one way of looking at the issue. Another way is that this is a way for an individual developer to stand out above his or her peers.

Really?? This just seems overkill. It was clearly not a willful violation. I hate to see someone lose their job, especially because of their kids. Come on Apple...

Product design, protocols, cryptography, regulatory restrictions, and so many other aspects have nothing to do with the language. Not every vulnerability stems from missing range or bounds checks.

I mean this is the best way possible, but your answer shows that even people on HN don't understand what goes into securing a product.
Thank you for the answer. I figured that it had to do with "keeping the peace."

It’s an active research area (less so now than in the 90s), so there is a lot of work on the subject. Nothing in production beyond ordersky’s color type system in scale (and that is completely local).

Also, I believe the work you are citing above explores structural subtypes, not nominal ones.
Package your .NET Core App in a docker image easy: 'dotnet dockerize'
To be fair to Evan Spiegel and Snap, almost no-one was interested in doing versions of their apps for Windows Phone.

Windows Phone turned up late to the party - third or fourth horse (remember Blackberry?) in an already competitive two horse race. A lot of the apps that made it to Windows Phone were paid for by MS.

It's also worth bearing in mind the advice of "its better to make something 100 people love than 1000 people like".

Marketing is a dark art, and signalling is real. Trying to appeal to everyone, especially when you are a scrappy startup, sounds like a great way to appeal to absolutely no-one.
It clearly WAS a willful violation...

You aren't allowed film in the location they filmed, the filming took place before the phone even shipped to carriers, and they released the film before the ship date. And to top it off, there's no way to claim after viewing the video that the father had no awareness; it was practically an interview.

Should Apple have fired him? I don't know. Was it a willful violation? Absolutely it was.

This is a quick project I put together to automate some build processes I was doing to convert my apps to docker images. I published it as a dotnet cli tool so others can hopefully find it useful.

Right now the available configuration for the generated docker image is limited, but the code of the tool is simple, so folks should be able to tailor it to their needs.
