Google Downfall
When I first saw it I honestly wondered.

No one who works at Apple would possibly think this was a good idea. They know they’ll get fired. Unless it’s intentional. Sort of like when they “leak” things to the press.

Perhaps something to build some buzz against the ‘Apple is doomed and will only make 57 phones by Christmas!’ stories.

Nope, just an incredibly poor decision. Unless he wanted to get fired.
If only ICE transportation was the whole problem. It's something though. Moving in the right direction, just maybe not at a quick enough pace.
Is Snap really telling anyone to go away? You can download and use the app for free.
That we know of. How many of the "leaks" we see before each iPhone release are actual leaks and how many are submarine ads? We may never know.
I read Daemon in middle school and became so obsessed with augmented reality that I essentially devoted the next seven years of my life to working towards making it happen: attending conferences, conducting research, and starting an AR hardware company.

So no, you're not the only one :)

Also, unrelated to my previous obsession with AR, I have prosopagnosia, so having glasses that could tell me who I'm looking at would make a major improvement to my life.

1) First off, as a fast apology and as mentioned lower in this thread, that FAQ answer about the NSA was rewritten two nights ago and failed to end up on the website; the updated answers have now been pushed (to say "Yes", actually, as the first sentence, instead of "No" with a qualification that essentially changes the answer to "well, yes").

That said, you are absolutely correct, and my colleague and long-time friend David Salamon (the person who has been the lead author of the whitepaper) wants that to be very clear. We are implementing bandwidth burning (and are even discussing some interesting extensions of this scheme involving both Turing-complete-w/-limited-execution-time programmable bandwidth burning as well as a form of global bandwidth burning), so whether you call that a "known weakness" for all of Orchid or not is slightly confusing ;P.

When we have actual software that someone could possibly use I am going to be pretty adamant that there are good disclosures in the UI with respect to the security tradeoffs, and for right now the whitepaper goes into extreme lengths to qualify what is or is not possible, in our current understanding, with and without bandwidth burning in place. (We are also looking into taking aspects of the algorithm and building it out with a proof assistant to have even greater assurances.)

2) One place where Orchid will hopefully shine (in the future tense, as this part is decidedly not yet implemented) is that we are working to allow multiple routes to/from the destination exit node using a scheme similar to MPTCP, which solves a lot of the bottleneck issues you normally find running through an overlay network.
Right? Might as well say "have to download the exe from the Internet? That must mean it's online-only".

Connection-free browser apps have been with us long enough that we can't assume either way.

It’s hard to say if things are better yet. They did another crackdown on factories, but if history is a guide, it will just be symbolic and temporary.

Living in Beijing from 2007-2016, there have been many instances where the government said it got better when it didn’t really, at least from my point of view.

Like Tor, but with capitalism.

Financial incentive for running relays.
Funny enough that Google is exactly in that position. Google owns a company called double click who does adword bidding optimization in between other things. As I work in the business, one thing that is clear is that the only way to do that efficiently is to keep track of conversion data. This puts Google in a highly unfair position since they manage the auction and own the data which drives the auction. That said, this is not even close to what Google knows about businesses in general...
I think that's the formal production engineering definition -the trouble comes when you apply it to the messy world of software.

Its easy for Tesla to say ok if we spend X Million on this machine tool which can work to 10 Thou rather than 20 Thou it will reduce our wastage rate for widget Z by Y% there for the payback period is so many months - classic production engineering 101.
Ah, so once again, we have a situation where the documentation describes the use of an elegant algorithm, but the actual implementation is a random pile of hacks and heuristics slapped together by someone who seems not to have really understood what they were doing.
Tobacco is also subsidized, so the government is effectively paying Americans to smoke.
Thank you very much for taking time to thoroughly answer questions. that combined with whitepaper and faq has left a very good impression to me, both socially and technologically. Best of luck to your team!
true enough, I agree
I know what you mean, but for this to be more widely used than Tor there is a need for me to know that nodes I operate only process stuff that won't be identified by 3rd party to sue me into a jail or financial ruin.

When I say whitelist, I do assume prefixes in the DHT (or whatever design they're using) can be used, as otherwise the whitelist may also grow too big to be practical. If however it will gain the concept of domains or such (which is also kinda a prefix), a whitelist will also be more practical.

Tor exit nodes are not operated by many in various places where they would/could because of concerns of the exit node addresses being enough to legally ruin operators' lives, even though technically it's a pure transit. Nobody sues the county because someone committed vehicular manslaughter on their public road. But because laws are skewed against the Internet right now, all someone needs is an exit node IP to make you regret.

If, and there's little to analyze/go by right now public, nodes and everyone is totally oblivious to what packets are transmitted; and if also the packets stored on nodes' disks are encrypted/sealed, then one could assume a filterless system to be practical.

This is all speculation, based on the little info there is. I really hope the team has come up with better designs that obliviate the concerns surrounding Tor, and ideally also not suffer from Freenet like slowness.

EDIT: Of course, once you have a filter, you will need to deal with the responsibility like Youtube does. If you do not know what's on disk or passing through, which is the ideal technically, then it would be best for the Internet and free communication. So, I'm not sure if a filter is a good idea, if that means you get subpoena'd and held liable for enabling one too many whitelist subscriptions.
To gather data? Maybe. It definitely uses the data Google already has, which vastly outweighs the number of people using Ingress. I'd assume Google Maps is far more valuable than Ingress is.

I think it's also worth mentioning for context that Niantic is not owned by Google anymore, though Google is a major investor still.
Car pollution isn’t the major pollutant for Beijing, it’s more industrial, power production, and heating (coal); a lot of drifts in from Hebei and gets trapped in Beijing because it is shaped like a bowl. Cars have fairly good emissions in the jing, while the gas is kept clean also. You can actually see the pollution spike higher at night when the cars are mostly off the road and blue trucks come in from hebei without emissions equipment using crappy gas.

http://www.wri.org/blog/2008/07/beijings-air-pollution-it-is...

Electric cars will help for sure, but it isn’t going to solve the problem on its own. Shifting away from coal (especially for heating, especially in the Hebei country side), and getting factories in Hebei to obey the law is much more important.

i agree
No ISO 9000 means to follow a set procedure the procedure could be such that quality isn't a concern.
(1)

In general some of the hardest problems / known weaknesses of the protocol at this stage is:

* Client bootstrap - what entry nodes to connect to? (saurik answered this in response to other questions)

* Current software connects to Ethereum nodes using an Ethereum light client, as Ethereum network traffic is not hardened it can easily be fingerprinted and blocked by GFW and others.

* Difficulty of medallion Proof-of-Work, basically it boils down to that if it's easy to join the network as a relay or exit node, then it's easy for a large attacker to join with many nodes. Making it harder for attackers to join / maintain active position in the network also makes it harder / more expensive for regular nodes.

* Payment anonymity. Currently it's as pseudo-anonymous as regular Ethereum transactions. Whitepaper has some discussion on future improvements there.

(2) The main driver here is economics - relay and exit nodes are paid by users for their bandwidth and relay of traffic. This forms an emergent, decentralized market that hopefully will find an equilibrium where there is plenty of overlay/secure bandwidth available at what the market prices it.

So far our models and simulations on this are limited, so we cannot make strong statements on how this will scale in practice. However, if we look at Bitcoin/Ethereum transaction (miner) fees, we see a live example of a working decentralized market that is very responsive and adjusts to supply/demand without any central intervention/control.

If they were cheaper, I might've got some (Or something slightly similar). I like documenting things with video, then deciding what to keep later.
China has plenty of regulations to clean up their air. They have a rule of law problem, however, in enforcing any of them. What the wind up doing is blanket crackdowns that are unsustainable and so peter out after a week or two.
I agree with this edit and have made a similar change, pushed it to our server, and are poking others for review. Thank you for your feedback: that is a much clearer answer (as otherwise it sounds like China is hacking into places as opposed to "we mean their firewall").

Not worse than working in the defense or movie industry.
I hate to break this to you, but the American myth; that if Allen is just as smart, and works just as hard as Elon Musk, then they both get to be just as successful, is a sham; a lie. There are definitely many Allens out there, but shame of failure means we barely ever hear that story. There are people dumber and lazier than you or I, that have far more money than you ever will, or at least did far less work to get there. Not to be cynical about the world, but there's more to life than fame or fortune.

There is undoubtedly luck involved in business, I can agree with that. FedEx's Vegas story from their early days could easily have gone the other direction, and then they wouldn't even rate a mention in a book about the history of shipping.

However, I disagree about studious Allen - someone who studied drive trains for 20 years is less qualified than serial entrepreneur Mr. Musk, who had two successful businesses under his belt before coming on board Tesla simply due to his experience running businesses. That Mr. Musk was already wealthy from those businesses which gave him a leg up with Tesla seems unfair to everyone who didn't start off independently wealthy, but c'est la vie. (There have been several articles recently about the dearth of new software company IPOs, due to how much the big 3 control the industry.)

Starting an auto manufacturing business was never going to be a bootstrapped operation the same way a two-person software startup in a garage could be, so having funding to hire a good drivetrain engineer is simply part of it. Having studied electric drivetrains for 20 years, maybe Allen ends up a very early employee at his brother's car company, and if that goes public, then Allen will be very rich - say he's still holding on to 50k shares of pre-IPO TSLA, he's doing quite well for himself, despite not being famous. Not nearly as well as Elon Musk, but he's doing well enough.

That's not to say Allen couldn't learn about news skill so he can run a business, or about, say, the intricacies of lithium battery manufacturing, but studying drivetrains for 20 years doesn't make a CEO. CTO for a drivetrain subcontractor perhaps, but sales and marketing and managing people; all those soft skills that aren't hard-core engineering building a product are actually vital to a company's success. (There was even a post on HN early today saying just that very thing.)

Elon Musk's success with SpaceX's success comes from rejecting prevailing industry knowledge - that reusable rockets just won't work. Everyone else in the industry, especially those that had been studying rockets for 20 years, knew that as fact.
The distrust with Google runs much deeper than their labeling of sponsored content. Most of the distrust stems around how they're figuring out which sponsored content to show you, not that they're showing it to you in the first place.
Charging advertisers more for less data was doomed to fail, no matter how elegant the implementation.

(In other words, I agree with you.)
So, other Apple employees are getting fired too, right? I mean, if filming is not allowed, how did she get a camera in there in the first place? People other than her father didn't do their job, clearly, and if a kid can sneak a digital device into Apple into a location that is apparently intended to be highly secure, then I'm forced to question their sincerity in how much emphasis they put on security.

Clearly, it's lacking in serious ways.
One of the early goals for workstations was a "3M" machine - a megabyte of RAM, a megapixel of display, and a megahertz instruction rate. That was about the point at which GUI workstations started to be really useful. The Alto and the original Mac were both below that level. The Apollo Domain, the Sun I, and the Macintosh II were slightly above it.

(The price of RAM was a big problem in those days. All the early DOS machines and Macs were RAM-starved. The workstation people plowed through that problem with money, and RAM was a big fraction of machine cost. Now it takes a gigabyte to run Hello World, but, whatever.)
Yeah, so everyone that saw this is getting fired as well, right? And Apple is going to conduct an investigation into why their security was broken by a teenager in plain sight. I mean, that's what happened. They failed at securing their own data.
Rubbish.

You pretend to "infer", from a one-sentence description of how the Montessori method uses concrete materials to teach the basic arithmetic operations, that somehow other mathematical principles are absent from the Montessori pedagogy.

Of course these principles are demonstrated and taught in Montessori schools, also with concrete learning materials.

You may not know much about Montessori, or you may have an axe to grind, or ...? Either way, you should stop making demonstrably false statements about her pedagogy (and about Piaget).
> In Sweden this is effectively the only way you can make the "stack ranking": you move a bunch of workers to a special branch or factory.

Stack-ranking has been horrible every place it's been tried so I'm not really sure how this is a bad thing.

From what I've seen in my time in corporate America, poor performers are often kept around regardless of if a union is involved or not for a variety of reasons:

* firing someone for performance is a hassle even without any union representation because HR requires careful documentation,

* for the manager, firing an employee for performance means admitting that you made a mistake on hiring,

* firing the person may put the budget for their salary at risk, and

* if layoffs were to happen in the near future the manager will need the person as a sacrificial lamb to protect the rest of the team (this behavior is greatly enhanced by stack ranking, to the point where people are hired specifically so they can later be marked as non-performers and let go in the next culling).
Given your question's wording the answer is, at this time and as currently described, "a way of accessing the clearnet", with no already-existing features for hidden services.

What the headline should be: Apple fires iPhone X engineer after daughter exposes easy to breach holes in Apple security.
The factories causing trouble for Beijing are not that far from the city. If the weather was always favorable, or if there were a mountain range in the way, it wouldn't be as bad. But sometimes when the wind is right, the smog settles under the city's temperature inversion and you pretty much have to wait for a rainstorm to clear it out.

If we removed regulations and built the same dirty factories in the USA, it might not cause the same problems if we put them in better locations.
Once, and she apologized
> In our notation, it's just drop dup (^2) + (^2) - abs. Simple, readable, beautiful.

Considering how the author is not presenting a language for stack manipulation, but for defining functions of fixed arity, I fail to see how that style is supposed to be simpler or more readable than the usual formulation, in the syntax of your choice, for example: fun x y z -> x^2 + y^2 - abs y

> programming is finally liberated from von-Neumann style

No, it's not.

Not until you show me how a sorting algorithm (say) written in that FP/FL (J?)-inspired style is just as readable, but with less potential bugs.

Also, not until you show me how a complex algorithm written in that style can be more easily synthesized to a FPGA or some other non-von Neumann computing platform.

I will agree that ';' is a nice idea, but extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

In particular, the article fails to explain what device is supposed to replace recursion or unbounded iteration, that allow Turing-completeness (and modern software as a consequence) to exist in the first place.
If you want references/links, I covered a lot of the same material in my page on 'accidentally Turing-complete' stuff: https://www.gwern.net/Turing-complete

I wish OP had had more slides on "Is Unicode Turing-Complete?" which is a terrifying question to even ask. Don't leave us hanging! Is it?!

Is anyone thinking beyond slides? We need to demand more from our presentational tools. I'd like to have these features:

Interactive slide elements like simulations, parametrized graphs, shells for SSH and interpreted languages.

Mobile interface served for audience so they can participate in quizzes, voting and interactive experiments.

Branching flows of presentation, so you can dive into more details on one branch, or skim through it on other branch (without running through slides franticly).

Free style presentation where some presenter zooms in and out of tree representation of our knowledge of the presentation subject.

Support for separate presenter's user interface - presenter should be able to easily cue the laughing track, or theatrically raise music volume, or see audience feedback.

Both Prezi and reveal.js and some other tools I've seen, add too much design fluff and fail to deliver any fresh approach. PowerPoint is stagnating for a looong while. Which is really the shame, because we could engage our audience so much better with right tools.
Here (https://electrek.co/2016/10/28/george-hotz-cancels-his-tesla...) is an article of a run in Hotz had with National Highway Traffic Safety Administration last year.

Although in the video he comes off as somewhat BS-y and irresponsible (you screw up your PS3 while hacking, you brick it; same thing for a car may very well kill you) I still like his overall maverick approach to the problem. Having a cheap cell-phone based OBD-II interaction mechanism with a simple GUI will may not solve the self-driving problem but may provide input for people to improve their driving. Therefore the "fitbit for your car" analogy is very apt.
> Quality in the informal sense that is used in every day talk is how well a product/service fulfill the expectations of it's kind.

When I think of "quality" in an informal sense, that's not what I think. I've got a cheap keyboard + mouse combo. They work perfectly well for what I use them for, but (I suspect) for less time, and enduring less abuse, than a higher-quality set of input devices would. I consider them low-quality, but suited-to-purpose. Something can be low-quality, but sufficient (i.e. fulfill my expectations, but be below the minimum specification level for what I'd call "quality").

edit: Although, I suppose that I'm talking more about my objective perception of quality than anything else.
Not black market ads. For example someone pays a group of people to review a product they are selling. Basically Amazon is competing with ‘black market’ techniques. A seller can now just pay Amazon to have their product at the top.
I think the infosec community is the biggest barrier to improving security.

Security is like a bug light for ambitious idiots now. In large companies the function has been staffed up as a separate vertical with lots of CISSPs and other alphabet soup people who run around chasing nonsense and reporting how valuable they are.

Security expertise needs to be embedded in projects and programs so that leadership with domain knowledge can make smart decisions.
It's worth noting that a financial incentive does not necessarily equal capitalism; if one were employing wage labour then it would constitute a capitalist system, as the M-C-M' circuit would be fulfilled.
