A common experience in repressive regimes is the characterization of democratic discussion as whining.

I see what you did there.

On a more serious note, yeah, all about following “the rules” now are we, Jack? But I don’t know why it’s being reported. “Yeah...well, you’re a whiny poopy butt!” doesn’t strike me as all that newsworthy.
The number you don't know is how much the encoding workload grew in the time it took them to develop the system.

Let's use your numbers. Say that two years ago computing costs were $50M, and encoding was $46M of that. Now say that their costs are currently $100M, but the encoding workload grew 6X. Under the old system, that would have cost $276M, but under the new system it is on $22M. That would be a 92% savings, and would totally be in line given that in the last few years they have drastically increased their machine learning output, which would have overtaken encoding work.
Tiny Atom – yet another alternative to Redux
> Also, I wonder the internals of that x86 emulation, if a linux program can leverage it?

It could probably be adapted for that, but since either Microsoft or Qualcomm is in control of it right now, and it generates a competitive advantage, I doubt either would be enthusiastic to publish it in such a form.

For what it's worth, if about 1/3 native performance (not sure, but I figure the QCOM/MS DBT gets maybe 1/2-3/4 native, from the way it seems to work with applications in the demos) is acceptable, QEMU can do more or less the same thing already on Linux: running x86 userspace programs on AArch64 (also some other architectures). In fact, you can add a binary format handler to your system to have it transparently load x86 binaries in QEMU.

Of course, this means having to set up a separate PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and a few other things.
Why is #2 a violation of NN, but #4 is not? Does it really matter if the video is transferred using IP on top of "internet" frequencies, or IP on top of "video" frequencies, or QAM on "video" frequencies?
That money is rightly Apple shareholders money, not the US governments or Irelands.

Apple shareholders pay taxes on their Apple dividends at far higher rates than virtually anyone in the world. They pay nearly 10% of foreign earnings to foreign governments. They owe 9% of what's left to CA State corporate income tax. Then they owe 35% of what's left of that to US corporate income taxes. Then they owe state income tax on the remainder paid to them as dividends. Finally they owe another 20% of the final remainder as federal dividend tax.

There isn't a country in the world that owed more taxes than that. There isn't a reason in the world Apple shouldn't keep their IP and after tax earnings in the most attractive tax environment, and out of the U.S. to defer paying taxes till later. It's not "robbing" anyone to refuse to pay extra taxes when you already pay all of your legal ones.
you're completely missing the relationship. DC politicians drive on roads that are 'fast lanes' by 'paying more' for preferential treatment. sigh.
That's scary. It also made me think of a certain online only grammar checking service that sounds like it could be registered in Libya, where everything you type is sent to their service. Madness - in my mind, at least; their site says nothing about how they protect their customers' data.

Just took a look at Chi's RESTful API example, I like it. I also like the benchmarks. Judging by most of the comments on this thread, it looks like the community favors modular small tools over big fat frameworks, is that true?

If the automated system fails and you have 2fa, then it gets escalated to the two most senior members of the security team.

In some cases we haven't had sufficient information on the account to ever verify that account's owner, and they never got their account back. Some users refuse to give us enough information to allow us to later positively identify them - so yes, those people will be out of luck if they lose their credentials.
If Congress and Pai are seemingly bought and paid for without any regard for the wishes of the actual majority of their constituents, what recourse do the rest of us have?

Speaking with our representatives seems to be completely ineffective (see the monstrosity of tax reform working its way through now behind closed doors).

Can you open an investigation into Pai himself with regards to any compensation or future compensation he may receive as a result of this? What other creative options do we realistically have?
Not to endorse the argument that a local app written in JS is inherently any more worrisome than one written for, say, .NET or GTK+ (because it's not), but this statement really sticks out:

> It is relatively easy to find JavaScript execution points

Have you ever been tasked with actually trying to guard against these things in security-critical situations? Because even with a deep understanding of the ECMA/W3C/WHATWG specs, years of experience with the arcane internals of a specific browser and JS engine, those engines' quirks wrt the way those specs are implemented, and the way they extend the specs, this was really tough even 5 years ago. The fact that JS is now an even faster moving target with yearly updates to the spec means that it's harder now. I don't think anyone who's worked on browsers would get behind the statement you made there.
> doing the whole if err != nil thing every 30-50 lines not ridiculous?

It's more like every 5 lines. I love it as every error is handled correctly and in scope. No error is left behind. Most languages I've used devolve into the GLOBAL MASTER DEFAULT HANDLE ALL ERRORS which is just gross.
I too wish there was more standard containers available in Go's standard library. However, I don't think there will be a collections package unless and until generics make it into the language. That said, there are some pretty good libraries out there:

It's not silly, just dumb. A foreign company that wants to deposit billions in your countries banks without any other services in return is an immense benefit to your country. Trying to tax them for it on top is short sighted and greedy.

That doesn't really matter in the context of a discussion about fake comment submission, does it? Spamming fake comments for or against net neutrality, either way, is a problem.
Bodo,a Beautiful Mac App for Jira, Tailored for Designers and Engineers
One thing I noticed going to a major conference in my academic field last year (IDWeek for those interested). Each and every one of the plenary speakers had some reference in their talks that betrayed a classic liberal arts education.

The titans of a scientific field still valued arts, and history, and culture. And derived value from it.

Hell, I'm a working scientist and one of the most valuable classes I ever had for thinking about the world was a feminist art history class.
While it is true that Bitcoin transaction sizes* vary depending on the coins available in your wallet (vs Ethereum only depends on the account), most of the volatility is based on the pricing of gas or bytes, not coin selection.

Also, pertaining to the original article, it's unclear if either ring signatures or bullet proofs can be made to work with an account model. Is there any examples of this?

*Bitcoin now measures transactions in weight, not size, a similar concept to Ethereum's gas (though much simpler)
Nope, Apple pays corporate income tax in every country where it has a presence.
This is only functional if you have an equitable education system in K-12 that allows every child the preparation necessary to reach their potential. Speaking as the spouse of someone who's worked for a decade in urban education, we are very far from that reality.

Conceptually, it's nice to imagine a purely meritocratic system wherein everyone may ascertain the level of potential they desire, but the US is living through the hangover of centuries of systemic racism.

The only way this tracked solution could be truly fair is if access to education was universally available and equitable; in our current reality, what it actually would mean is that those who can afford the best education in K-12 will be highly over-represented in the college track and those who cannot will be under-represented.

So in the end it turns out to be an anti-meritocratic solution.
In addition to what everyone else has said, I think the wording is quite important. My reading is that encoding takes up 70% of their CPU hours. A 92% saving on that is obviously very good, but there's a lot of other ways you can spend money on aws.
Only they aren't getting defensive.

You might be replying to the wrong comment. I didn't say anything about Windows RT being a failure. The only meaning I was trying to convey was that Microsoft DID try to push an ARM platform many years ago.

I suppose China is also "stupid" to let all those Asian doctoral & post-doctoral students do research for the "enemy"? You need to chill out, and re-consider your tribal affiliations.
Since Apple has driven up wages in all of it's markets, you mean they conspired to increase taxes paid by it's employees and it's competitors employees.
There are zillions of old Windows programs whose developers are long gone. They're never getting ported. The only serious way to do this is to emulate/translate old apps automatically.

You mean the China that hacked the shit out of Nortel when I was a teenager to get global dominance of telecom?

The China that's building artificial islands to get access to the South China Sea / East Sea?

The China that tries to have trade both ways by forcing Hollywood to portray China positively just to get 50% of what they should at the Chinese box office?

The China that quietly supported the DPRK, destabilizing global peace, to get an edge on their interests?

The China that walls off their own internet completely then whines when politicians start to question their involvement in our (Canada's) newspapers and other media?

The China that disallows foreigners to purchase their currency while stockpiling greenbacks and buying western tech companies?

I don't think we should disengage from China, I think they're liberalizing (over the long haul anyway; rich, educated people figure out a way to get access to the truth) but don't for one second think that we should stop "whining" about China. If anything we should be more vocal in our responses.
Ok, if you run a traceroute from both sides you can determine both paths (generally). If you use mtr or something like that along the way you'll usually see some "bright lines" in latency/loss/etc. Its not bulletproof but generally works.

That said - a peering agreement can have a variety of terms so a gamer isn't likely to be privvy to that. But if you see latency and loss on a certain link, you've likely identified the problem. Typically both parties are bound to solve it if its the actual peering link, a fair amount of the time its an individual ISPs problem so that ISP would be obligated to upgrade its internal link(s) to meet the demands of its customers.

Some time ago (2014) I convinced (forced under contract) a very large last-mile carrier to fix/upgrade its internal links after I browned out a few counties with my paid-for usage. Its not that hard, it just took a lot of phonecalls on my part and calls with our finance department... I guess the alternative was for them to let me continue browning out their customers for a section of the San Francisco bay area, having them ragequit and switching to someone else. Or wasting thousands and thousands of hours with customers complaining about terrible service.
I believe Apple purposely makes this difficult/impossible on iPhones due to the constant metrics/analytics sent to Apple servers.

I don't think that follows. Allowing applications to intercept and mess with other application's network traffic would be an obvious security issue; that's far more likely to be the reason than some kind of vague "we want to track your data" thing.

It's certainly possible that Apple could construct an appropriate API for allowing users to configure apps in such a fashion that they could monitor network traffic, much the same way as similar APIs exist for accessing e.g. photos. But since it's a niche application at best, I'm hardly surprised they haven't done so.
Amazon's "The Man in the High Castle" is also HDR. Its the first HDR show I watched, and it is amazing as well.

It's always fascinating to me how little some of these people understand science. There was a forum I frequented where there was a prolific "scientism" poster, and pretty much every time several of the working scientists on the site, myself included, were like "Um...that's not how this works."

Build tool. Not app code. How is security relevant here?
I'm sorry, but I have absolutely no pity for Amazon here. They've consistently misrepresented things to remove anything google from the amazon store. They wouldn't support google's cast protocol for their streaming video service and they used that as an excuse to remove the chromecast. They won't carry the google home because it competes with the echo.

If anybody is abusing a monopoly here it is amazon. I'm glad google finally threw down the gauntlet, I hope they make amazon regret all of this.

I sincerely regret purchasing amazon tablets because they are junk for my kids. If it weren't for third party apps like netflix and plex those tablets wouldn't be worth the $40 I spent on them. I can install google play services and "almost" turn them into normal android tablets, except amazon makes sure you get constant errors if you do that.

When I found out that there was no youtube kids app on the amazon fire I nearly lost my mind. I don't want to get up every Saturday morning at 5 am just because my triplets don't have funny cat videos to watch...
competition is not at the core of evolution, survival is. competition emerges when the survival of one requires another not to survive. is that relatively rare or commonplace? i think it's rare but it's down to ideology.
Nobody’s forcing anyone but a lot of people including the parent comment complain when someone doesn’t want to work for free on the tool they use. Encourage people if you want, but don’t complain if they don’t listen.
Prime Video has been struggling so Amazon can't afford the strategy tax of limiting it to their own devices [1]. The more Apple TVs that are sold by Apple, the more untenable their position becomes, especially when Netflix will be on any device. Amazon vs Google might be turning into a hot war (which makes sense since they're competing in an increasing number of businesses), but that's not the case with Apple.

There are options between these two extremes. Haskell's Except monad is a great example. Or javascript promises. You can launch a bunch of actions in sequence and provide a single error handler for them. Each step doesn't have to worry about it, but neither is the error handling invisible and completely global.
What is your definition of hacker?
It would be nice if these bundlers could help publish npm packages that vend non-JS assets (html, stylesheets, fonts, images) in a way that's easily consumed by other packages.

For example, if one of the JS modules in a library package says "import classes from './styles.scss'" and an application package imports that JS module, the application should somehow end up with the CSS output from styles.scss without having to configure Sass itself, and without having to include the entire stylesheet from the library package.
Solid advice. I will take a look at the course, looks interesting. Thanks for sharing.
I'm a FastMail customer. Your response is troubling to me in that it didn't answer most of tptacek's questions. It's troubling enough for me to start looking at other email providers. :-(

I would like FM to provide something akin to Google's advanced protection program. Those of us who are careful not to lose our login credentials should not have to suffer a weak recovery process for the convenience of those who do.

Nope, has nothing to do with market access. Ireland's tax discount was an incentive for Apple to base their IP there and deposit it's after tax earnings, i.e. foreign earnings after paying corporate income taxes to France, Germany, etc, etc.

Apple paid all the taxes it needed for "market access", this is just a question of what they do with the remaining profits after they paid those taxes. And where they base their IP, which obviously isn't going to be France or Germany.

If all variants of this test act as the author describes, wouldn't the fact that the same keys are bound to different things in different phases of the test be a problem?
I agree with your comment, and propose the following test, which will yield the same conclusions.

Given a scenario, ask the following:

"If enforced, will this give the users a financial incentive to pick one information source on the Net over another to get the same content?"

If the answer is YES, then the scenario is a violation of net neutrality principles.

So for the 4 scenarios you listed, the answers would be YES, YES, LIKELY NOT, and NO*

(*only because we restrict the test to sources on the Net).
It's behind a Paywall for me.
Except that the one forcing people will inevitably force people to act in a way that maximizes his/her personal gain.

My father. In his opinion, businesses should be allowed to manage themselves as they see fit, without outside interference.

Various people I've had 1-on-1 conversations with online. Often some variation on the regulations being difficult to enforce, and pointless because companies weren't doing things that were that bad before net neutrality anyhow.

We could debate the extent to which they were "reasonable" people, but I think that their opinions were reasoned out. They just started from assumptions that I disagree with.
How to create a killer abandoned cart email strategy [with real examples]
I think the problem is less that there are new tools, but that the new tool comes promising to make the very much what the old tool did, just with much less configuration and smart defaults. But as soon as you start using that new tools for a while the once smart defaults are not so smart anymore (as requirements have slightly changed) and you start configuring it more and more and after a while you have the same mess of customization as with the old tool until someone comes up with a newer tool that has newer smart default and so on...

Its not necessarily bad as most new tools are slightly better than their predecessors, it just takes some getting use to and you have to learn how to structure your code base in a way that you do not have to completely refactor it every time a new build tool is adapted ;-)
You're right, partially. The thing about free markets is that the average value across all data points will converge to the free market value, and there are outliers on both sides. There are lots of CEOs that are under-paid for their abilities as well as lots of CEOs that are over-paid for their abilities. If you were to look at all CEO salaries averaged over all companies in an industry, you probably would get a pretty fair view of what the average CEO is worth, but of course an N=1 can deviate greatly from the average.

A company's performance may be strongly correlated to a CEO's ability and performance, or not. These salaries aren't set algorithmically and there's no way to predict ahead of time exactly what the impact of a given person on an organization will be. Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns, but there's really nothing else to determine CEO salary by except for experience, fit, and past performance. The salaries are set by whatever the board and shareholders are willing to pay, which is influenced by all the data (objective and subjective alike) -- a central tenet of free markets.

The truth is there's really no other way to do it.
To my understanding, the problem is that when the lenders WERE calling colleges, it wasn't to say "this kid wants to borrow 100k in loans", it was to say "here's 50k in goodies, send your students to us for loans!". Hence the controversies over kickbacks and the like.
