Even if an individual trader buys stock in a company to manipulate a derivative and your price impact is beneficial for the shareholders, twenty executives, and a hundred pension funds, FINRA will not give you a free pass when they investigate him. No idea how complicated it gets at the institutional level, but I can't imagine there is a very strong argument for allowing manipulation to occur in this instance.

Even if the company gets a cash injection, all of the counterparties who sold protection via CDS will get housed. I don't know who those counterparties are, but it's easy to imagine that they are trading with money from many sources, including university endowments, pension funds, insurance companies, and so forth. So where do you draw the line between beneficial manipulation and detrimental manipulation?
Most annoyingly, as someone who lives in Oregon I don't want to pay for this. I certainly want the poor guy who tried to fix something broken to be hugely compensated. However, I want whoever did this to pay for it.

I also want then to stop focusing traffic tickets on speeding and instead fine people who cause traffic jams by not accelerating when entering the freeway or go unnecessary slow. But well that's of course never gonna happen and probably most native Oregonians would be fine constantly because they drive insanely slow...

Out of all the Android vulnerabilities so far, and out of all the devices that are not running an up-to-date versions of Android, what's your theory as to why we have yet to discover a large Android botnet?
Yes. Just the same as generational wealth in the real world. The problem with meritocracy is that ocracy implies some power over the system and in a true meritocratic system the first generation would corrupt it to help their kids. Meritocracy is an oxymoron because the difference between equality of opportunity and equality of outcome is a gradient, not a line.
I actually think that's a pretty clever device. People will figure out a way to pirate -- if it hadn't been you, it would be someone else -- but it's a memorable little trick and fun, unlike some DRM.

This would be a lot more convincing if you explained why you thought I was actually wrong.

There are lots of "free and voluntary" contracts that are illegal. You can't sign away your life or your freedom. You can't even sign a contract where you agree to work for $4/hour. In many jurisdictions you can't sign away your right to work for a competitor. You can't sign away your right to privacy or use of the legal eviction process in a rented apartment.

It's generally agreed upon that there are certain rights that are so important you can't sign them away. It seems to me that access to the courts should be one of them.

> Is it possible to create ASIC resistant algorithms? Litecoin was meant to be resistant by using scrypt but there's ASICs out for that now I believe.

Making the PoW require tons of memory to solve efficiently seems the best way to attain ASIC resistance. Monero's PoW requires only 8x more than scrypt's 128KB, but Ethereum requires over 1000x more than Monero's 2MB. None of these can be instantly verified though which is a desirable property of PoWs.

Modern asymmetric PoWs like Grin and aeternity's Cuckoo Cycle, and Zcash and Bitcoin Gold's Equihash combine large memory requirements (144MB-2.2GB) with instant verifiability.

Oh, wow - I've reported this problem along with na example exploit to Apple about 6-7 years ago. Never got any recognition for it, but It was fixed some time after that. It's quite sad to see old bugs getting new lives like that.

For those interested, the sample exploitation that I've discovered was connecting any iPod/iPhone device to a OSX laptop while screen was locked was taking the focus away from login prompt 'into' the system, where iTunes was gaining it and from there it was just few OS level keyboard shortcuts from gaining network access to the system, while still locked: launch finder, go to tools folder, launch terminal, launch `nc` in the terminal to get the access via network. Lots of blind typing but it worked more times than not.
Wouldn't the same scenario play out with any other cryptocurrency? Early adopters will sit on the bulk of it.
I don't think replacing "small amount" to "portion" in my posts really changes the point -- that a small amount (relative to the population of Bitcoin investors) of large players (by USD value) can influence the market price.

If you want to argue a minimum amount that whales would need to sell to manipulate the markets, that's probably better for the thread than arguing about semantics.

Usually the titles I see changing are ones that were editorializing in the first place, sometimes because the original title is too long for HN. This one matches the article's title, so changing it is inappropriate unless it's egregious. In this case, I find your proposed title more confusing than the article's, I don't know what an engineer claim is.

I don't know much about the market for this type of GPU, but the article does note that the Tesla model (priced at about 10,000) is selling out as soon as they make them. It seems like the demand is there but the supply isn't.

This is a clear case of using "well intentioned" laws to silence free speech. This supports the libertarian idea that we should reduce the size of government and regulation if possible, because given long enough and enough bureaucrats, fallible humans will exploit whatever mechanisms are available to them. People don't like criticism, especially when the criticism is of their work/policies and potentially threatens their livelihood, so giving them a way to easily stop critics is a bad idea.

Ummm unless lawyers somehow have evolved different brains than the rest of us, they, too, prefer to make more money vs less. So if they are billing hourly, then yes they all do want to spend more time. Now, they might fight against that urge (E.g. believing that spending less time on Client A will improve their reputation and lead to more clients) but your statement is naive re how incentives work
Deflation is bad for a currency because it means the currency will be worth more later. People hold on to things that they think will be more later. Currency, though, should be something people are comfortable spending.

See here, for example, for a prominent Bitcoin advocate explaining that he no longer uses it as a currency: http://avc.com/2017/08/store-of-value-vs-payment-system/

This is especially a problem when a currency is used by a lot of people. It discourages economic activity and increases the value of debt. Imagine, for example, that you had taken out a Bitcoin-denominated car loan on Jan 1 2016 with a monthly payment of 1 BTC. That's about $440 at the time, or 15 hours at the median US wage. Now you'd have to work 40x as much to cover the loan payment, or about 20 hours a day just for your car. Meaning you would have been driven into bankruptcy.

Luckily for its users, Bitcoin never really took off as a currency, so their debts are in much more stable national currencies. But as you see with Fred Wilson, many experience sharp regret for the times they did use it as a currency.
I think you did a decent job playing devil's advocate, because now that you explained it a bit more, I'm not quite sure how PoAs fit into this. Maybe it's different because it's not done in exchange for something?

> Example: you want to buy 10 apples, and only the price can change. Your win is the vendor's loss, and vice versa.

That doesn't even make sense, if the vendor values what you are paying above owning 10 apples and you value 10 apples over the price the vendor is willing to sell for you both win.

--edit--

That's actually how market prices are determined at the fundamental level.

Ironically this is the one thing that the Android ecosystem fragmentation has going for it. My guess is that no one can be bothered to make reliable exploits that have all the correct offsets and addresses for who knows how many different kernels and firmwares and such.

You'd think the Broadcom wifi bug would be an extremely lucrative worm target, but in reality it takes a great deal of effort to make a reliable exploit targeting a single version of a single device.

Until there's a more basic bug that doesn't involve kernel addresses and exact memory layouts etc it's far more profitable for bad actors to deliver their malware via malicious .APK files that users will happily install.
I read an interesting analogy yesterday in a poker chat of all places.

The guy basically said, let's put bitcoin to buy a coffee litmus test. If I were to buy a cup of coffee in the current frenzy, I would be at the cashier waiting a day for the transaction to go through and when it does go through the fee for transaction would be greater than cost of the coffee.

If that is true, how is bitcoin better? Would that transaction even go through considering miners would prioritize transactions with larger fees.
No you don't, at least not from Apple, as it was the case when I reported a very similar issue few years ago. ;)
> Figuring out how to market the product successfully is the harder part.

And exactly this is what limits it to "a large/powerful company".
It's been like this forever, the police have access to so called "information management system" directly to QQ and later Wechat. There is no other way to talk to people online, you are monitored in all channels. They have no choice, anyone that doesn't cooperate is blocked. Also the sense of "Privacy" is very weak among Chinese, they are brain washed enough to believe "what are you afraid of if you have nothing to hide". So yeah people will continue to use Wechat and other social channels in China.
The gaming community that I am a part of that uses Discord holds a weekly big gaming session where almost everyone attends at the same time. It occurs around dinner time on the west coast, so some of our west coast members will be having dinner between rounds. Push to talk allows them to talk between bites without all of us getting the smacking sounds of chewing and eating in our ears.
Difficult to reproduce, can be when we lock the session, close the macbook, plug a second screen and re-open. Or in another order. Personally I remember not having the focus on the password input by opening my MacBook onetime, I often plug and unplug screens
Jarsigner is designed to be used by Java.

And both Jarsigner, and the Java command used to actually run the code on Oracle Java and OpenJDK use the same code – so they both only see the zip entries.

This issue only exists because Android reused a signing process designed for an entirely different execution environment.

WAT?

1. I don't see how the directory renaming / npm config changes this at all.

2. I guess this is an argument for speed of asset pipeline? As mentioned in the article itself, Rails 5.1 webpack with hot reloading built in. How much faster can you get?

3. I don't think I've ever heard of npm referred to as a well-maintained tool.

Beyond that, the idea that Javascript-heavy web apps are "Modern" is kind of silly. They're certainly trendy. In the vast majority of the cases I've seen, there's no coherent reason for the added complexity.
That's a fairly recent development. Only about 20 years ago, the NRA was going on about "jack-booted thugs" and the gun enthusiasts in general were pretty skeptical of law enforcement.

It's been interesting, and more than a little disturbing, to watch it change. I'm not a big fan either way, but I much preferred them when their gun advocacy was part of a larger libertarian framework rather than a fascist one.
I think in the specific case of apple, this serves a nice purpose. I believe macOS has lost a bit of love from the company, and so it’s a nice way (if not the only way) to make management listen.

> Could you not create a protocol that constantly changes its hashing algorithm to combat ASICs?

It might be interesting to combines all of the popular hash functions in a sequence. You could probably mix in some non-cryptographic hash functions in the middle as long as you use secure functions at the beginning and end of the sequence. e.g. SHA256 => MD5 => MurmurHash => BLAKE-256

You could even write an algorithm that uses the previous block hash to determine the next order of the hash function sequence.
Hi! I am the writer of this piece. To answer your questions:
Your use of the phrase "without use of any limbs" is the problem here. That is not what quadriplegic means. It means that all limbs are affected and at least partially paralyzed by a spinal cord injury, or other injury/illness. My husband's injury level is C 5/6, which is a fairly mid-level injury- higher in the spinal cord than many and lower than others. So every quad is going to do different things than others. My husband, for example, has full sensation all over his body. Many do not. However, he has no use of his fingers, while some do. He can, however, use his upper arms, and adaptive tools, which he has used to do everything you mention: changing diapers, feeding, picking her up and putting her down, and yes, the dishwasher, cooking meals, etc. I have left the baby with him overnight while I was away for work/at the hospital. It takes him a lot longer to change diapers, but about the same amount of time to put a bottle together. He drives (with special controls in a wheelchair van), etc. Many quads do.

There are already many resources--books, videos, myriad articles, etc.--that cover quadriplegia/how spinal cord injuries affect the body/quads and parenting, etc. This was a personal essay. I hope, if you're truly interested, you make use of some of those existing materials.

Plus, even if you understand that, the thrill of having a shot at gaining thousands of followers instantly (like the root empty password guy) if you get lucky and get covered by news outlets is a great incentive for people to not responsibly disclose the security problem. If you responsibly disclose to Apple, it's their mercy to give you any reporting privileges, pay attention to you, and credit you.

That to me is not the right way to think, but in the day and age where number of likes and followers is king, I'd say it's not too irrational.
> It is also easy to make this number look very small:

That doesn't sounds small to me, given the relative utility of 320 million people against that of Bitcoin.

It's also the case that any of these solenoid-operated locks are a lot less sensitive to binding than if you're manually turning a key and joggling the door as needed.

I think you're a hypocrite. If you think people in Africa aren't getting paid enough, why are you not selling your PC / smartphone to help them out?

I never said UAE is an utopia or even a fun place to live. I think there is merit to criticism of Islam that it doesn't distinguish between religious and secular, so it's a totalitarian state by default. I believe that the world of Islam did not have its Renaissance and Enlightenment. A radio anchor on my favorite station once half-joked that the greatest invention of Christianity is tolerance of Atheism. According to him no other revealed religion even tolerates atheists.

But I believe in giving credit where it's due. If petty crime is very rare in UAE, it's food for thought. World is not black and white and it's perfectly possible the world of Islam does some things better. It's worth a closer look. I believe in an eclectic approach where you take the best parts of things.

> For you have been taught that we must have as much diversity as possible and that equality means that everyone must be made equal. [...] So when you say that we should have diversity and equality you are saying we should have difference and sameness. That is incoherent, by itself.

This is a strawman argument - the rhetoric only works if you already agree with the author's belief that a statistically significant proportion of students desire literal equality (as satirized in Harrison Bergeron) instead of social equity.
