Can someone summarize the apparent PR problem Logitech is trying to solve? I'm not familiar with the situation.
Wow, thats seriously disgusting to read.

I've been quite aware of the history but to read how he takes inspiration of cruelty makes it even more disgusting.

(Oh, and yes I'm fully aware a number of others like the French terror reign, Pol Pot, Rwanda, China, former Yugoslavia, Japan/China, India/minorities, a number of colonies of Western countries, natives of south and north America but for some reason the Armenians seems to go unnoticed. Thanks for reminding.)
It's not that "we really don't seem to care much"

It's that even those of us that care vehemently, have no recourse. It is impossible to fight a secret police state.
There was apparently a period of time following the announcement on the Logitech forum where the words "class action lawsuit" were being censored as profanity.

My guess would be the company lawyers told them they were digging themselves into a very deep hole, and that replacing the Harmony Links would be the least damaging / expensive option.
I stopped eating breakfast cereal a while back (had been eating with kids just to share the activity).

What I found out was that the milk (even a small amount) was upsetting my digestive system. Cutting milk out of my morning breakfast/coffee really improved my morning responsiveness.

So it's not just the sugar and carbs for some of us.
Anyone here work for/with Logitech? I'd love to know the nitty gritty behind the "encryption certificate expires" PR simplification and why a new one can't/won't be cut. (sole embedded root expiring? something else?)
Are there any plans to open-source this Unison wrapper?

It's really not much harder to just make oatmeal on the stove. Toss in a couple of spoonfuls of full-fat Greek yogurt and you'll have a breakfast that will actually hold you over until lunch time.

The US should adopt nutrition labels with easily comparable units - force all items to include a "per 4oz" column in addition to the per serving.

See http://www.arnotts.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Nutriti... for an example - everything includes the "per 100g" no matter what the serving size. You can easily compare across food items without having to carry a calculator.

This is extremely common, btw. When looking for foods and comparing i often want to maximize protein and always have to double check when I find one fungible item has more than another.

I'd say more than half the time it's a serving size difference.

Ah that's interesting. It even has dimensions. It's 11.6 cm x 5 cm x 2.6 cm. In comparison, the latest iPhone is 14 cm x 7 cm x 0.7 cm.

So this note was basically the size of a cellphone. Or as wide as a 3x5 card, but not as tall. Makes sense, I suppose. Factors that shape iPhones and 3x5 cards include easy handling, easy reading, and easy manual interaction.
Interestingly, When you think about it, the filters in a Convolutional neural net aren't too different from your setup and they provide similar, if not better, performance.
If you are preparing food for meals based on how much space it takes up in the plate or bowl, you're doing it wrong. Portion sizes should be based on calories. Which is what Cheerios has done (and as recommended by the FDA in their serving size guidance, I might add)
Lesson 1: Don't buy stuff like this that depends on an online component to locally control your electronics.
Lesson 2: Don't buy Logitech, as they make the things from lesson 1. The new hub is the same as the old hub and will probably break once they get tired of its online service too.
Does that distinction matter?
I too would like to know more about this. They haven't made this sufficiently clear.
The mnemonic "opaque, obtuse, and obscure" is a valid denotation of targeted qualities, not unlike the qualities targeted for drone activity are related, with the mnemonic "dull, dirty or dangerous."

So, the three O's is a good conceptual utility, for understanding the combination of traits that can exploit the realities of human psychology, and explain why no one seems to care about how technical paralysis can stifle apparent relevance.

It's not only a means of explaining sneaky cloak and dagger stuff. You could describe lots of niche tech staples with this mnemonic.

When something is difficult to explain, that's often enough to derail any casual conversation with simple mental fatigue.

Opaque:

Any number of qualities can render subject matter opaque. A poorly indexed, large volume of data is opaque, but a recursive function may also be opaque in it's behaviors.

Obtuse:

Intel ME's position in the stack is placed at a key choke point, requiring highly abstract approaches to utility. In other words, it is obtuse.

Obscure:

It's readily available, but sequestered as a feature behind interfaces non-technical users rarely visit, without advertising to promote, train or recommend it's use. Is it supposed to be an easter egg? For who?
I put "set editing-mode vi" in my ~/.inputrc to enable basic vi keyboard shortcuts in readline-based programs like bash.

If I'm using bash on a machine I don't control, I can type "set -o vi" at the bash prompt to get the same thing temporarily, and that's usually the first thing I type.

I also like to use rlwrap[1] to get readline editing and command history on terminal apps that aren't readline aware and don't have history of their own.

Most of the time, though I spend in zsh, which is not readline-based but has its own readline-like capabilities. There I have ^R bound to reverse history search, and ^E to edit the current line in my $EDITOR.

In addition to this, I use fzy[2] (which I prefer over fzf[3]) to do fuzzy searches over my shell history with something like:

history 0 | perl -p -E's/^\s*\S+\s*//' | sort -u | fzy --lines=$LINES

im guessing you could have told us what ME is or provided a link in the same amount of info that you put in your last paragraph

I don't like it either.

But as a practical matter, I think we will do more to protect privacy and security by engaging with the process and honestly addressing their concerns so we can strike a balance between conflicting societal needs than we'll do with hardline stances based on inaccuracies.

I think pretty rightly a lot of tech people got told off by the political process for misrepresenting what was possible and how technology worked in an effort to not have to obey social structures. I don't think most of us liked that (I sure didn't!), but we're not going to have everything our way (and especially not by lying or throwing tantrums). I mean, if I were a senator, I'd be thinking "So, they can secure a ledger with floating cryptographic difficulty when they want to make money, but a solution for national security is impossible? Yeah, fuck these guys." There just hasn't been the kind of open, honest discussion around the topic that would satisfy their concerns.

And the key to having some of it our way is explaining why that issue is paramount to have our way and honestly engaging in the process to make it happen. Politics is a game of compromise and negotiation -- the government is almost certainly not only willing to concede some of the things on the FBI wishlist if better alternatives are put forward, but actually is interested in doing so.

Everyone knows professional investigators ask for too much, but if no one else is putting forward honest suggestions -- what choice do politicians have?

4chan has been popular for leaks/reverse engineering because of its anonymity and the fact that it's seen as (whether or not this is true, and I would wager that it isn't) as a "hacker haven". For example, a guy on 4chan reverse engineered Google's new captcha system almost as soon as it came out, leading Google to eventually hire him in exchange for his deleting the GitHub repo he was using.

Previous situation was apparently "That newish home automation device that you bought from Logitech? It'd be a shame if anything were to happen to it - so we're shutting it down for you. But by coincidence, here's a very similar device that we're selling, and you're lucky, we'll give you a discount!" That announcement...was not received amiably amongst the userbase. After a day or two of internet's ire, it looks that the "loss of goodwill" column has finally outstripped the "cost of total replacements" column.

Anyway, I for one deeply regret this - not least because I have some great Logitech devices that I depend on, and now I'm worried someone might decide to accidentaly brick them in a firmware upgrade, as they're no longer generating profit for Logitech.

It's weird. Some people get it, and some people don't. My dad is pretty tech-illiterate but he understands trolls perfectly and has an understanding of Poe's Law that predates the internet. My mom is the one who helps him use the computer, and she just doesn't get the combination of humor and malice. Are they being mean, or are they laughing? Which is it? She can't imagine it being both at the same time. And she totally gets all the other forms of pleasure that go along with malice. She doesn't have a problem watching a crime movie (or the news) and understanding that the bad guy was killing people for sexual gratification or the pleasure of revenge or the pleasure of humiliating another person. She totally gets it that doing bad things to other people can feel good. It's humor, specifically, that she can't recognize as a motive, and it makes her vulnerable because she can't spot trollish intentions and can't really process them after the fact either, which makes trolling doubly hurtful.

For example, you probably have a friend that you would trip to create a hilarious pratfall, knowing that he won't feel deeply hurt by it, because he understands your intention and might have done the same thing given the opportunity even though you both really like each other. My mom is the other kind of friend who you would never ever do that to, because she could only imagine that your intention was to hurt her and make her feel bad. Trolls feast on that kind of blindness. My mom is old enough that she's beyond being able to be hurt by the internet, but now I have a couple of nieces under three, and I can't imagine what the internet will be like for them if they take after her.
The phrase I read was not "encryption certificate" but "technology certificate" which sounded more like something along the lines of a license for some third party IP, or an API key for a subscription service that Logitech had been paying for. But I agree it's a vague simplification and more details would be interesting.
Perhaps cryptos simulate "religions" whereas a single idea fragments in tens-of-thousands of variations? Look how many sects Christianity has after the Protestant Reformation "Hard Fork"
Another thing we can glean from these records is how expensive/labor-intensive it was to produce them. If we find that in a certain time period, people were only writing about business and government as opposed to personal correspondence or frivolous things, then we can assume that the medium might have been costly at the time, and/or that people did less-official communication through media that were less durable, like paper or the brain of a messenger.

Heh, I tend to go all in and run shells in Emacs :)

There are (at least) 3 ways to do this:

- `term` and `ansi-term` act as terminal emulators; they run a normal shell, like bash, and act much like e.g. `xterm`. You can even use curses-based programs. I don't use this as I find it quite clunky, since normal Emacs navigation and editing doesn't work (since the key combos would conflict with those used by the shell and applications).

- `eshell` is the opposite extreme: it's a shell which you use instead of bash and friends. It has nice features like piping to a buffer, running Elisp (if that's what you're into) and (my favourite) using TRAMP to invoke SSH and sudo. I tend not to use it much other than for TRAMP. The most obvious problem is the limited support for piping.

- `shell` is half way between. It runs a normal shell like bash, but Emacs keeps control over the buffer. This means we can't use things like curses, but we can navigate and edit the buffer contents just like any other.

Emacs `shell` is my "default" terminal; I currently have 24 shell buffers open. For things like curses, I use a separate `st` window running DVTM.

As a bonus, we can actually use `shell` and TRAMP together: we first use TRAMP to connect somewhere, e.g. `/ssh:me@remote:/home/me` (we can do this using `cd` in `eshell`, or using `dired` mode, or whatever), then from there we invoke `shell`. We'll be dropped into a remote shell, just as if we'd run `ssh`, but Emacs will be able to do things like tab-completion for the remote system.
I tend to think cool off loss is much less of a problem than people think. The insulation around those heaters is incredible.

I once turned off my water heater before leaving on vacation, and when I got back after a week the water in the tank was still probably 10 to 15 degrees F warmer than room temperature.

I take your point that they're time constrained, but I dispute the implication that a differently proportioned team may make different decisions. That's an assumption that goes against the balance of evidence.
Another comment has a link to a Verge article that can probably explain it better than I can, but basically, Logitech initially announced the discontinuation of Harmony Links, with the device being bricked post-March 2018 due to some certificate not being renewed. If you were out of warranty, the best they could do at the time was 35% off the new device.

People got mad, media found out about it. Now they suddenly can replace everyone's no problem.
It looks like they pinned a wonky root cert.

For example, you can wrap a promise such that when it finally resolves, it checks an isCancelled flag and rejects instead so that your .then callbacks aren't run.

It's not about cancelling any potential inflight action within the promise itself.

In this case, you don't want the callback to run after the react component unmounts, nor do you want to hold a reference to the component:

The Michael Moss book "Salt Sugar Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us"[1] really opened my eyes to how the cereal giants hooked kids and their parents on sugar. It's eerily similar to the tobacco companies manipulation of nicotine.

It explains how manufacturers make clever misdirections away from sugar such as adding verbiage about "fortified with 20 essential vitamins" on the box. It's insidious because the companies are preying on parents' intentions to feed their kids something nutritious when in fact, the very opposite happens. Excess sugar is causing obesity, early diabetes, and cavities.

A healthy alternative for breakfast is slow (not instant) cooked oatmeal with no sugar added. (If the kids absolutely have to have something sweet, cutting a few slices of fruit is better than dumping sugar into it.) I've been eating that every morning for decades with no weight gain.
