Could the patch also handle this case? Can you create a root account in OS X?

If it was previously possible to create a root account then I guess there's no way to tell the difference between those who created the password as a response to the vulnerability and those that knowingly created a root account.

I qualified it with "reliably". Major bugs reported by you, a security researcher, may be bucketed differently than those deemed less serious or filed by others. As a recent example, a minor bug like the iOS 11 calculator ignoring keypresses had reports filed since Beta 1, but only after it made headlines and caused Apple public embarrassment will it be addressed in the upcoming 11.2, six months later.
Pretty optimistic on your lifespan, I see.
(Nitpick: Traditional WMs composite as well, they just do it on the CPU instead of the GPU.)

That's interesting. I remember the developer of KWin (KDE's window manager) saying that he considered disabling GPU compositing when the battery runs low, but he couldn't prove that this actually saves energy. In fact, on some configurations, GPU compositing was less power-intensive than CPU compositing.

That’s an awesome feature I’ve been dreaming about for macOS. I wear many hats and have several clients. It’d super nice to be able to organize into these virtual sets everything related. Eg term, Chrome, editor.
> They can push to everyone, now, and it will be fine.

I'm pretty sure any fix has to go through Build and Integration before being rolled out. Then you need to have people actually install the update…
I should have specified I meant 10.6.8 I ran it on my main computer until 10.9.2 because of the problems I had experienced with Lion and Mountain Lion on other computers.

Also I think when most people think of Snow Leopard they're thinking of 10.6.8, at least that's the version number you always see get thrown around on the internet.
> But as a "perk"

And there's where you went off "same". It's abusing the term "same". I of course understand the author, but he is mincing words.

So yes, it is unreasonable to say that in response to "Does DataCo treat all data the same"...or at least you have realized that latter part ("some data just doesn't cost money") must always be present as a caveat. What it leads to, inevitably, is prioritizing the data on cost alone. Users are incentivized NOT to use the non-free side.

It's like someone saying "have you ever done THING" and the response being "I have never done THING, except for that one time". Just say it isn't the same then, otherwise it comes off as weaseling.

Without a doubt, the best book I read in 2017 was the three body problem (first in a trilogy). I actually came across it in an interview with Alina Cohen of Initialized via the 20 minute VC podcast. It intrigued me to not know what it was about, and I recommend that people who are interested in reading it go in with as little information as possible.

Going to start the second one this weekend :)

> there are any number of legit bug bounty programs

The thing about bug bounty programs are that they are not a negotiation. They decide how much your information is worth--take it or leave it.

If you thought this bug was worth $25,000 and you feared that Apple might offer a $100 discount coupon plus a lovely "I Love My Mac" coffee mug, is there any way to start a negotiation without being accused of extortion (if you imply that you might disclose it publicly)?

This is a serious question: Is there any way to negotiate for security bugs, before or after disclosing all the details, without running a legal risk?
It's fine, by my own definition, that isn't a true root user... It ruins everything I've come to expect from using root.
I'll take your 'legacy' and raise you an 'on-premise' (as in not in the cloud). I assume Oracle and Microsoft marketing want us to believe that premise is the singular of premises? I'm afraid I think different...

Bootstrapping does have a fairly rich history in computing. It has found an excellent meaning or two. Does it need another not quite analogous one? I dunno, I was in business and in Private Equity (at a very junior level) for a long while before I was in computers, and prefer the jargon of classic finance I guess. Likewise I don't like 'burn-rate' and 'runway' as the naive twins of 'cash-flows'. I could go on but my stuffy finance background is never likely to win me a popularity contest...

The Oyster War: The True Story of a Small Farm, Big Politics, and the Future of Wilderness in America by Summer Brennan. I learned more about oysters than I thought possible, the history of oyster farming, and a lot about the setting aside of land for national parks. It doesn't drag at all, and the author does a great job of trying to stay relatively neutral. She does explain her conclusions at the end, but only have you have formed your own.
Making it difficult to access something is always worse than not having anything to access. Plus, the average person will set their root password to something like 123456 or qwerty, which is clearly insecure.
Huh, didn't expect to see this on here again!

Just before I continue I'd like everyone to know I have complete respect for Mozilla and everything they have achieved with Firefox in v57! It really is awesome and a testament to their engineering talent. I used to submit patches to them to get the code base compiled with Intel's C++ compiler and they really are great in communicating with you and even going out of their way to fix obscure issues. I hope to return to submitting more helpful patches and I'm excited to see where Firefox goes from here on out!

Now on to some other points:

* v56 with security patches from v57 is available to test here if anyone is interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/waterfox/comments/7ed9sf/waterfox_5...

* v56 will stay here with security patches remaining until the end of v59 ESR (I'll be using it to track security issues and patch them).

* In the spirit of YCombinator and HN, my next step after the release of v56 is to go to VCs (or other funding sources) and show that open source projects can be successful business ventures without having to sell out the user. Then hopefully set up a team and create a power-user focused browser based on all the exciting technology out there - (servo would definitely be a fun base).

Of course I'm young and Waterfox was a side-project that I thought made me a real programmer at 16 because I managed to set the 64-bit flags on MSVC (oh dear). I never thought it'd basically become a full time job, get me into prestigious universities and even land me job contracts because of all the years I spent working on it!

If anyone has advice I certainly wouldn't knock it and it would be much appreciated. If you think I'm crazy go ahead and let me know as well haha!

> If he did that two years ago he'd get x15-30 returns.

Would he? If he put 1% of his portfolio into bitcoin, he'd have moved the bitcoin price into the 100s of thousands of dollars or millions by himself and then who would he find to buy them from him?
Ha! That's for handling one, but that's pretty funny.
Isn't that true for all investments though? If all holders liquidate the price crashes.

This is good advice, although I would also caution that every journalist has different habits. Some journalists will only publish news that's under embargo, others will only publish news that's happening that day. Some want assets included right in the email, some won't open it if they see there are attachments. After working on hundreds of campaigns, we believe that this embargo strategy is the most effective. Per your advice, this is why we also recommend reaching back out right when the the embargo lifts with the full media kit.

The insight here into TechCrunch is too true unfortunately. It's every startup's dream to be in TechCrunch, but we see publications like VentureBeat have much better engagement.
This is pretty disrespectful to Jack Bogle.

Vanguard is almost singlehandedly responsible for returning trillions of dollars of costs, in the form of fees and underperformance by active managers, back to investors. Millions of investors have benefited.
He's the founder of Vanguard, but he retired from the CEO role 19 years ago. In addition, the ownership structure of Vanguard is through the funds themselves, which are owned by the customers. I'd be surprised if Bogle retains any interest at all in the company.
SATON'S LOT 7
Large public companies that are unlikely to ever issue dividends or be acquired also fit this description. For those companies, there is no legit expectation of an investor capturing the underlying cash flows, other than on the capital gains from the market price of the stock being gauged against the current P/E consensus (or valuation metric of your choice.)

But yet there AMZN, GOOG, and others sit, responsible for a large part of the return in Bogle's revered index funds.
No, sorry, I did not mean that or mean to imply it.

I think the feature that caused this is related to upgrading pre-high-sierra user password hashes to high-sierra-style hashes.

The fact that it works for situations where the password is null is a/the bug.
What's a reference in Rust?
> Can you create a root account in OS X?

Yes, you can. macOS ships with the account disabled by default, but you can re-enable it if you wish. Most of the time there is no reason to do so.

> If it was previously possible to create a root account then I guess there's no way to tell the difference between those who created the password as a response to the vulnerability and those that knowingly created a root account.

Yes, but this difference doesn't matter. By creating a root account you have made your computer less secure anyways, assuming that we didn't have the current issue at hand.
I’m not a security researcher and I don’t work for Apple. If I casually came across this I would totally tweet it out. Anyone asserting I should follow some sort of procedure has a misplaced sense of reality.

If root was ever enabled without setting a password, the machine is then in a state that it can be remotely exploitable.

While it's unlikely, there are probably plenty of users who have done this for some reason or another.

Don't underestimate a user's ability to blindly do things like this by following arcane instructions in attempts to fix an unrelated problem.

Not really, the value of the stock approaches zero, and when the company closes up shop I doubt you get anything at all as an investor. Assets would typically be sold to pay off outstanding debts.
When Your Shi**y Health Insurance Doubles in Price
Sounds to me like he is just rambling a bit there at the end.

Gold actually does have some intrinsic value—it's useful. It's stable, nonreactive, resistant to corrosion and conducts electricity. It's been used as a value store since antiquity above others particularly because it is stable and noncorrosive. The conducive properties are just an added benefit we now have a use for. A gold coin from a hundred years ago is still a gold coin. A Bitcoin from today may not be a Bitcoin as we know it a few years from now. And if it is, it may be difficult to transact.

Bitcoin, on the other hand, really has no use. There was this idea that it might be used to speed up transactions but as we saw leading up to the fork, that's not guaranteed. Anyone with enough capacity can basically seize control of the currency, so it's anything but stable. I think things like Ripple have a far higher value proposition than Bitcoin today—more of what Bitcoin once was.
Not finished yet. Genome- Matt Ridley. The guy knows how to take a "dry" subject and spin a nice story around the central subject. Was recommended by Naval Ravikant on the Shane Parrish's Knowledge Project podcast. Makes even more sense to me now that I actually work for a NGS company.
In a week they will be less secure, because they will forget to remove their root account and Apple will have push out a fix.
My computer automatically downloaded high sierra without me wanting it to. Whether I was tricked into clicking something I don’t know. And then I heard about the disk utility password bug and decided I should wait a while before installing this OS— it seems as though Apple wants me to do their QA for them. And now I hear about this. And I see that dumb ugly notch on the iPhone X (seriously who approved that design decision?). And the 2015 MacBook Pro is more pro than the 2016 model? Apple is officially a tribute band, riding on the fame of its previous self. And I say this as someone who owns a MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iPad Pro, iPhone, and Apple Watch. This comes from a place of love. You’re trendy now, but don’t you forget that trendy people will leave you for the next shiny thing in an instant. Please fire everyone who is just there to milk the profits, actually put some focus back into QA, and remember who your base was.

This is starting to change, perhaps not in Ruby but JS and Python now have commonly-used pre-compile typecheckers with typesystems fancier than your typical typed C-descendant language, annotation stubs for the standard or popular libraries, etc. I wouldn't be surprised that if in a couple of years, the default for a new Javascript project would be more typechecked than Go, strange as it is to say.

"Big Capatalism"

No hard feelings ;)
But i have a right to defend my comment.
This is slightly specious. There is an expectation that AMZN or GOOG will eventually issue dividends or repurchase shares, and there's noting fundamentally preventing them from doing so. There's no way to form a valuation otherwise.

This is being solved, see

I'd go even further and say it is an economic problem.

We no longer need gatekeepers for digital media, that is clear. What we need is a way to support the artists creating that media. But we've set up our economic system to put money into the hands of companies under the guise of giving it to the artists. Sure, artists typically get a small fraction of that, but they should be getting the whole thing.

Our economic models are seriously awful.
I imagine the reason is that in other countries, the government may have negotiated maximum rates and coverage, ensuring that while choice is limited, the upper bound on usurious behavior is contained.
Oh really. Then please add some vectors to BigQuery and run the query on it.
I think it was an interview with Bob Newhart (maybe WTF), where he talked about how his dad was never home - instead he went to the bar and hung out with his buddies every night. The interviewer asked him why, and Newhart answered "I guess he didn't really like us very much" (sad, but with a funny delivery).

But, maybe we have more "family" time between dinner and bed than previous generations? I don't know. It seems to me, anecdotally, that people tend to spend more time at home in front of tv in the evenings, as opposed to hanging out at bars, for example, than may have been the standard of the past. The pubs in my neighborhood don't have the daily regulars like on Cheers....
nothing at the moment, it's being used as a speculative investment. I imagine in time the volatility will reduce as other cryptocurrencies become more mainstream and actually used for real-world purposes.

> most of the early Bitcoiners have gone all in on Bitcoin Cash.

this is an absurdly untrue statement
If the press would be a bit more aware of/sensitive to the damage they are doing to people's lives rather than to chase the money that would be a great thing. For now though the press can hide behind their freedoms in order to gleefully ruin people's lives with abandon.

Good solutions to any problem require consideration of interests, 'unlimited' does harm as well as good and such lack of balance is hard to deal with when you're on the receiving end of it (say as the victim of a false accusation or a crime that eventually leads to acquittal).

Also, those freedoms without limits were made long before the Internet and Google came along and those are game changers. Not to be able to adjust to changing times is a bad thing for any legal system.
