McLuhan's ideas get written about so much, but nobody does it nearly as well as McLuhan himself. His 1969 interview with Playboy I think is the best primer:

If it's true then this is fantastic work. Should really be the responsibility of the government. If a device is compromised it should be disabled.

It could also set up a pretty nice incentive structure. If a device is bricked due to a vulnerability, then the manufacturer should have to either repair or refund the device. Corporations will not respond properly until it impacts their bottom line.
Orwell gives a good example of these kinds of contortions in Politics and the English Language:

‘While freely conceding that the Soviet regime exhibits certain features which the humanitarian may be inclined to deplore, we must, I think, agree that a certain curtailment of the right to political opposition is an unavoidable concomitant of transitional periods, and that the rigors which the Russian people have been called upon to undergo have been amply justified in the sphere of concrete achievement.’

To which the proper response is the ungenerous and sarcastic, "yes, of course it is right to murder your opponents when it benefits you". Because to engage otherwise is to give the sophistry more legitimacy than it deserves.
The difference is patience and reaction time.

A computer won't be speeding on a residential street. It will identify a child standing on a curb for tracking but otherwise not react to it until it determined that the kid's trajectory would likely intersect the car's. In that case it would break as hard as it needs to bring a car to a quick and safe stop.

The link in the post is actually very good, agree with a lot of it. Agile seems to have devolved into lots of ceremony and overhead in most organizations.

Planning overhead is just the worse. Essentially project managers/scrum masters want to turn Agile into waterfall to somehow guarantee both delivery dates and feature sets.

And every organization should build their process around their unique needs. In our case delivery can’t be done in less than a week given the multiple layers of management that demands review time. We can’t fix the review requirements, so our process needs to be designed to best accommodate it while still delivering timely releases and not dragging down team velocity. 2 week sprints are basically impossible.
It depends of the issues we are talking of.

What I'm saying is that introducing biology at this point in the debate, by looking if the inequality is "natural" because phenotype A or chromosome B gives you some edge or not in science or other discipline, is kind of irrelevant given the weight of culture in our societies.

I find it even dangerous because I don't think a lot of people are ready to understand the subtleties of a shift in a normal distribution (if one is present), and it'll just give them a wrong/misused "scientific" evidence for reinforcing their prejudices. Because I can't teach critical thinking in minutes I now resort to "it's always cultural" and try to move the debate forward to the (IMHO) main causes.

late reply, I know - I only just saw this discussion - I didn't post this story to HN myself. However:

I recently wrote a blog post discussion why I created Dasynq, here: https://davmac.wordpress.com/2017/12/17/introducing-dasynq/

Though I don't specifically discuss boost::asio there, I believe some of the points made there apply. Also, last time I checked, boost::asio mandated linking with threads library (at least for some features) whereas Dasynq doesn't, and boost::asio didn't offer support for watching POSIX signals or child process termination (Dasynq does). Finally, the boost::asio multi-threading model is awkward, for reasons I try to explain here: https://davmac.wordpress.com/2016/06/18/boost-asio-and-resou...
Exactly. It's there to (very mildly) confuse you.
To get the median of an even number of values, you must calculate the mean of the middle two values. Therefore the definition of the median relies on the mean already being defined when working with a discrete number of values, which isn't really explained in the post.

In fact, there's a whole spectrum of averages defined with mean and median on each end, depending on how many outliers you eliminate. For example, if you have eight numbers, you can define a spectrum of four averages:

2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19 // mean, here 9.6250
3,5,7,11,13,17 // mean with outlier on each side stripped, here 9.3333
5,7,11,13 // mean of central two quartiles, here 9.0000
7,11 // median (i.e. mean of center two numbers), here 9.0000

You could then repeat the process on that spectrum of averages to get a shorter spectrum, here [9.2396 (mean), 9.1667 (median)], recursively until you have one "mean-median" left, here 9.2031.

I wonder how this fits in with the explanation in the post.
I read the first few pages of the IOTA whitepaper, including some of the math parts. I have basic undergrad math ability and although I'm not familiar with many of the concepts, most parts make sense to me and are quite thorough. It sounds like OP is trying to manipulate the market.

It sounds like OP sees an opportunity to bring the price down in order to get a better deal on their next purchase.

>In Norway for example, an autopsy only happens rarely unless there is a reason to expect foul play,

Really? That's interesting. In neighbouring Finland, an autopsy is standard practice whenever the medical cause(s) of death is not completely clear.

Anyway, it's a relevant point that you make about death being caused by multiple factors, and crediting the causes in statistics is a game that can be played.
The devices in this story - routers, cheap IoT devices, etc - aren't products of bootcamp-hiring buzzword-spouting Silicon Valley companies, though. They come from a long tail of decades-old mid-sized electronics businesses with, AIUI, low margins and cultures that don't value software highly. It's not about JavaScript hipsters (for once!); this is much more related to the situation with terrible automotive software.
As others have said,GoG et. al. have republished a lot of them (a lot of them just repackage the game using Dosbox or ScummVM; you'll see the license in the download).

I kinda wish they wouldn't though. A lot of these should just fall into the real of abandonware. A lot of these licenses just get sold off to big companies who try to do some long-tail nostolgia sales.

Some /really/ old titles are actually out of copyright (or the publisher has gone under and the license has been lost), but they're still sold through some services cause that's how public domain works.

It wasn't that hard and the stakes were much higher than that. Individual subscriptions could be much more, but the entire black market of glitching units was an industry worth many hundreds of millions of dollars.

Ultimately DirecTV was able to kill pay TV hacking by simply introducing a new generation of cards that were better protected, the P4 series iirc. Other pay TV firms invested less and were mostly undermined by just one guy (Tarnovsky) - not exactly an army of reverse engineers.

Yes, and I think something else has happened to flying as well. Computer modeling has gotten so much better. I have flown a lot over the years (just under 2 million miles on American alone), and I notice a huge difference between the number of empty seats on flights in the 1990's vs today. Back then, one of the perks I was given for being a frequent flier on American was that I was usually seated with an empty middle seat next to me. Now, with even higher status, I never have an empty middle seat next to me; boarding is more difficult, fitting my carry-on overhead is more difficult, getting attention from an attendant is more difficult, etc.
I think it's interesting how ScummVM originally just supported the old LucasArts games and now it looks like it supports several versions of Sierra's engines, the Zork engines, plus tons of obscure game engines here and there.

> Direct Democracy Isn’t Anarchy, You Fucks

Here's a quick thought experiment:

Imagine for the moment that anarchy-- the type with roots in 19th century Europe and fits and starts in Catalonia and Andalusia-- is the key to universal enlightenment and human cooperation. (Not saying it is, just a thought experiment-- humor me.)

Now imagine that there is a small but dedicated cabal of evil demons intent on keeping the world from coming to realize this truth. If you were an advisor to the cabal, how would you suggest they use their meager resources?

If it were me, here's what I would do:

1. Split the demons up and send each to a burgeoning center for anarchy.

2. Tell each demon to play up what is idiosyncratic and novel in that particular region's understanding of anarchy. Eschew both clear, standardized terminology and laymen's terms for something that sounds passionate, yet somehow also particular.

3. Discourage genre literacy, and don't cite sources.

4. Favor novelty over intellectual rigour.

5. Develop clever inside jokes.

6. When faced with a powerful intellectual adversary, fall back on tribalism.

And once the demons are comfortable in their new surroundings, the kicker:

7. Convince the demons that it is now safe for them to earnestly believe in their new form of fun-house-mirror anarchism. They are safe to defend and most importantly love the little tribe they have created.

Using such a technique, I'm fairly certain I could guide my demons to an easy victory. In the event that any of the disparate anarchist groups tries to band together in a spirit of cooperation or defense against a common adversary, passive-aggressive tribalistic infighting will eat up a critical mass of their resources!

*

Now, let's get back to reality and realize there is no such conspiracy to derail anarchism.

Still: mission accomplished, no?

Edit: wording. Also-- I'm only critiquing the concept of anarchism implicitly espoused by the authors. The anarchists of the early 20th century seemed to have suffered from a much different problem, which was the inability to manufacture enough arms-- to ward off both the fascists and the communists when they retook Barcelona, for example.

Reminds me of the Scandinavian woman prosecuted in 1980s/90s NYC for leaving her child in a pram outside a cafe. In Scandinavia this is (or at least was) extremely common, you get a cluster of prams outside cafes with babies still in them.

I was in Berlin last week and was amazed to see bikes being locked to bollards on the street only waist high, so you only had to lift it a foot if you wanted to steal it.
I interpret this as you switching from an browser by a relatively small organization that has certainly made some mistakes but is backing down with a relatively small amount of user feedback to one by a much larger organization that has less motivation to acquiesce to users' desires and less motivation to respect users' privacy.

Also, as others pointed out, this sentence you quote (probably) isn't as bad as your interpretation (I think I interpreted as you did, too, on first read). If you want an easter egg in your browser, and you install an add-on to get it, what's bad about that? The interpretation that "add-on" means "installed by default by Mozilla" seems off compared to what was said elsewhere here (though as it happens, this add-on was installed by default, hence the interpretation that this was okay... but read on, and clearly
callahad is saying that it wasn't okay to install by default).

I think the statement is poorly worded, but with the larger context, I'll give Mozilla a chance here... or else I'll use a browser that I think is more privacy conscious and that is more likely to listen to its users, not a browser that I think is less privacy conscious and less likely to listen to its users.
As betterunix says, the way you do it is that the signed data structure proving what software you're running can contain a public key, for which the private key exists only in the enclave. So you can then encrypt secrets that are readable only in the enclave.

>At the moment, American Politics is all F'd up because Mr. Trump and his Press Team (led by Huckabee Sanders at the moment) relies on this.

I really doubt that they rely on non-true but otherwise representative of the truth stories.

For one, they'll never admit those stories are not factually true.

And even if they did so, those stories would still have to be representative of a larger truth, which they're not.

So, no, false stories as pure lies are not the same as what I was talking about. We had those since the beginning of time too.
I have a feeling it will be a generational thing. It's anecdotal, but I grew up with helicopter parents and have talked to many others who did as well, I've yet to hear anyone speak positively about the experience. Mostly we all got to adulthood and discovered how laughably unprepared we were for basic life tasks. The more successful ones confront it in college and move on, the less successful ones stay in college and promote "safe spaces" to prolong the coddling.

So, given that he might have prevented more damage than he caused, if even the part of the recent DDoS reduction can be attributed to his activity, what to make of it? It can be more of a judgement on society if this person ends up in jail, while IoT makers keep making hefty profits being rewarded for their negligence, and ISPs keep making profits being rewarded for lying to their customers when shit happens and causing more damage than he ever could overall.

It all seems to start and end with technical ignorance of the typical customer. There are popular shows that help pepople choose better food, by exposing shenanigans food makers engage in. Perhaps there could be something similar for tech in the future. Something where a hacker comes on TV and makes a total ridicule of some IoT crap device, and the show uses it to constatntly repeats the basics, like changing default credentials, etc. Same schema that works with food shows, expose someone as an example and add some generally useful advice. Perhaps this might become feasible when IoT is more popular.

There's no incentive for manufacturers to do anything. This actually just increases sales, as dead devices are replaced (probably by the same device/firmware). Insecurity converts the equipment to a consumable that generates an annuity.

Well, very sloppily speaking - the median is the first derivative of the mean, and the mode is the second derivative. That would be another way of thinking about this in terms of rates of change in discrepancy.

This. 100%. And that build up is happening again. This time, it's happening to white people (gasp!) [disclosure: I'm one of them]. What will happen in 10+ years when all those people with College debt are still working at Starbucks (or worse) and have 1) no hope of paying back their loans, and 2) have no prospects for saving for retirement? I would expect that a significant number of Americans will start mobilizing in some way. You can only push people so far.

I'm not quite clear about your point. The version of Clang that Apple ships, for whatever reason, is pretty far behind the released Clang. I cited std::variant as an example of something which has been in the public Clang for ages.

As far as compiler support goes, Clang supports all of C++17 except for P0522R0 which is a defect report (ambiguity in specification) so cannot be implemented as written. Ditto GCC.

However std::variant is a library entity, not a compiler entity, and indeed, the libraries are a bit behind. Neither GCC's nor LLVM's runtime library support the parallelism extensions and have other gaps in areas exotic (memory, unfortunately which I would like to use) and prosaic (filesystem, which though I'd like to use it as well don't really care about). But they have been solid on C++17 core functionality for quite a long time.

C++ isn't as important to Apple as Swift (or even, still, ObjC) and C++17 is pretty new, so one can hardly blame Apple for this, especially since it's so trivial to simply use another compiler.
