Maybe I'm missing something - could you link me to the docs on http://www.libressl.org/? I expected a big link saying "Docs", but I don't see one. I've also tried a Google search for the docs[1], without success.

We can’t even imagine nothing though... it’s just a word we use to describe a state which may not and may never have existed.
What theyre doing to fix it:

"Apple is reducing the price of an out-of-warranty iPhone battery replacement by $50 — from $79 to $29 — for anyone with an iPhone 6 or later whose battery needs to be replaced, starting in late January and available worldwide through December 2018. Details will be provided soon on apple.com.

Early in 2018, we will issue an iOS software update with new features that give users more visibility into the health of their iPhone’s battery, so they can see for themselves if its condition is affecting performance."
Neither quitting in a fit of pique nor being fired look good in an interview. You can get away with a prima donna vibe - but only if you're really good - and sometimes not even then.
Well, in the programming world you can do 'almost' anything with anything, basically. So -- if you really good at it -- anything is an alternative to anything else.
I completely agree. I and a few of my friends have Moviepass, and it has become easier to go see something only a few in the group really want to see, or kind of want to see, but not willing to pay $12 for it. Tickets are so expensive I only need to go 1x/mo to break even.

I'm also a lot more willing to spend $8 for a tub of popcorn when it "cost me $0" to see the movie (I know). Before Moviepass I was going to the movies about 2x/mo, and now it is up to maybe 3x, depending on whats out there and how busy I am.
I'm sorry if I came across that way, didn't mean to. But you have to realise that it's tiresome all this new internet phenomena of laymen questioning the work ethics of actual professionals because they think they could possibly do better, if only etc. I don't usually comment on HN about Physics because... well, never mind, it really was a bad idea this time.

If you're interested in the data you can browse the references, go to the libraries (as physicists have to do even at college, because it's kind of hard), find out first what exactly you are asking... even mail someone. And you can also measure things by yourself, this is a free universe and everybody can study its properties (Mercury is out there and maybe you can afford a nice telescope). What is unreasonable, very unreasonable, self-entitled in my opinion, is expecting that experimental physicists provide some kind of repository of (internal-notes redux) data for casual readers of pop sci. That would cost their time (or some overworked PhD student's) and project money, the bad news is no one is willing to do that nor paying for it. It's not that there's some kind of conspiracy, it's that people are actually busy working.

My buddy wrote a book on VRML.

I don't remember Tim Cook giving me any lectures on my personal use of fossil fuels. Yes, he probably mentions global warming as a problem Apple takes serious, and works to mitigate. But it's not like he's shaming anyone, is he?

And even if, it'd be intellectually lazy to complain about his travels in such a superficial way. With the attention he can command, private jet travel would probably be beneficial for the environment if it allows him to attend three events per day instead of two.

But the article cites security reasons for the change in policy. I have no knowledge to verify, and neither does anyone else outside of Apple and possibly the government. It also seems within the bounds of possibilities, so the usual policy of assuming good faith should apply.

Regarding your last line, I'll say (a) he deserves all the private jet travel in the world if he manages to run them on electricity.

Oh, and also this: "Tim Cook has already said that he will be giving away the majority of his fortune during his lifetime in a systematic approach to philanthropy."
>We need models that support free consumption of media for many reasons.

We have that already. In fact, we've had it for a while. The problem is that we keep taking something that is already free to distribute, and putting it behind arbitrary gates. We then think it's perfectly normal to pay the gatekeepers.

I don't know why we still use this model which hasn't made sense for >10 years.
Worthless is not a fair adjective, I have rephrased. But I still maintain that (outside of Accounting) I would not personally recommend a young person to get their undergraduate degree in business assuming it will be their sole undergraduate degree. Business is a great add-on to a specialty in something else, though. Thus the popularity of people going from science/engineering undergrad to an MBA later on.

What was your major, and what type of job/position did you take post-undergraduate?
I mean juction box. I already have switches that control three lights (https://i.stack.imgur.com/Q2vZH.jpg)

The neutral wire requirement is really a killer for me, as I'm not going to rewire me entire house. There are some switches that only require the hot wire (they pass a very small load to the light, but not enough to lit up even very efficient leds).

As of the gateway I don't really care the interface. I'm prepared to write code myself or whatever is needed.
It's not "be lucky." It's "make your own luck."
Investors that investigate companies, identify hidden problems and report on them to the public help enable more accurate price discovery. This wouldn't happen at all if they couldn't trade against it.

For instance, I recall a story where a hedge fund sent PIs to determine that a factory reported running was actually closed down. They can't just trade against that info - it also has to be made public for them to realize gains. I can't imagine how you'd consider activity like this "getting away with it", when the alternative is companies performing unscrupulous acts in secret.

Of course it’s ridiculous. Has the number of reported problems with Macs increased over the last 10 years? Sure. Their market share has also increased like crazy.

Today’s Mac doesn’t seem anymore unpolished than yesterdays. They just support a lot more software and devices than they ever used to.

Get a Mac and use it the way you might have 10-15 years ago when they only supported a few dozen peripherals and 3rd party software titles and you probably won’t ever have a problem either.

And don’t act like Macs never froze. The pinwheel/beachball of death has been a joke since OS X was first released. The biggest difference is back then you probably didn’t spend 12 hours a day in front of the machine.

People have this ridiculous hindsight bias. Were some cars in the 1950s more reliable or better? Well, yeah. They had no electronics, no features other than a radio and you didn’t drive as much because there were fewer places to go. And they even seemed safer because there was less reporting on accidents when in reality you were like 7 times more likely to die in a car accident in the best car in the 50s than the cheap east piece of crap made today.
I'm actually not disagreeing with you. Except that I think there is room to say that there are people working in this area who, like you say, are incentivized to research in other directions, not necessarily the one that most helps us. That doesn't make them evil or bad people. They're doing more to help than any of us trolling around on the internet.
I was using Secure Login for Firefox for a good while, but it died in e10s era and probably doesn't have the hooks to block this at all in Firefox Quantum. One of its useful features was to not fill out anything, username/email included, until I clicked a button.
Don't ever trust your employer. I've learned this the hard way. It's 2017 - employers have no loyalty to us when the shit hits the fan - and we should have no loyalty to them. Stay if you like it, go if you don't - because there's probably something better out there.
It's choosing the lesser of two evils. The two options are to have the phone run slower, or have the phone shut down unexpectedly with shorter battery life.

Personally, I agree with Apple's call on this one.
Keep reading the article and you will find out.
Rock and a hard place for Apple, after 600 cycles or 2 years 'average usage' (based on reports I've seen in the past) the battery might only have 50-60% of the design capacity, so their choice is between reducing battery consumption (via throttling) or having users whose phones are totally drained in significantly less than an 'average working day'.
"We’ve been hearing feedback from our customers" (sic: "we've been sued")
Freezing the OS is rather easy to do and hard to protect from, especially if you want to permit an application to access a lot of fancy things for performance. I'm probably underselling how fragile these things are: I once killed Xorg and the laptop got bricked and never booted again.

My point is that Chrome on Linux has many issues with GPUs too, so they at least share the blame, since they don't seem to be capable of properly handling GPUs in the wild.
Coincidence that they waited till after Christmas to release this?
Slowing down the CPU is a better experience than your phone shutting off or battery lasting half a day...
On the other hand, you can sell a parking spot if there's a DD. I don't know the going rate, but it's at least a couple drinks' worth ($45 spot = 3 x $15 beers)?

On the whole, stadiums may prefer to have a big line of ubers/lyfts lined up to take people home, but it's not like it's a total loss to have DDs.
It’s still very much under development. It’s not like the rest of the economic system was built over night.
Part of that is often rent control, which as a price ceiling directly causes quality drops beyond what people are generally willing to tolerate in exchange for a discount.
The links for libcrypto, libssl, libtls, openssl(1), nc(1), and ocspcheck(1) all go to online man pages.
Reducing the battery replacement by $50 is a great move. While I think this is a completely manufactured scandal, this will definitely take away the last argument people have against them.

I'm sure some people will still hate them for something, though.
Ditto on Snow Leopard. I had to muck through the version history to figure out which release I was considering the "last good, exciting release." Turns out we all agree. The divide is... stark. That said, High Sierra seems to trend back up towards the level of ambition we saw in the 200x releases.

I've often wondered why this wasn't the case before, though I understand many state alcohol agencies (i.e. TABC where I live) discourage drinking incentivization.

Ride sharing companies should now be falling over each other to sign exclusive deals with bars. "Come to Kodablah's Bar. We'll pick you up in a Lyft and send you home in one at no extra cost. Restrictions apply: only applies to those within 18 miles, minimum tab of $40."
There is an obvious third option: replacing your battery with a new one instead of playing this planned obsolescence game.
I grew up around TV production and ran camera at least a hundred times for dynamic speakers who dashed around the entire stage.

With the right equipment, this is very doable. You need a high quality camera head and longish arms placed a comfortable level. Here’s an example

Remember people shoot video of running, twisting basketball players in game all time.
They said they wouldn't degrade the UX to drive upgrades but said nothing of other reasons to degrade the UX.
At one point, I was pretty good at talking about soccer without ever seeing full game basically. I just repeated things other people said about same match or situation before. It seemed to be enough for casual discussion.
Would you rather have a slightly slower phone, or one that shuts off at random due to the battery not being able to provide peak current.

I think the only major mistake Apple made here was not being originally transparent about this. I don't think that Apple is being 100% noble in its intents either. In addition to driving users to buy new devices, there's the much less obvious side-effect which is a lot of people attempting to get their batteries replaced at roughly the same time as devices age. Which creates a tremendous support burden at Apple Stores around the world as people pile in to get their batteries replaced. (Although more daring consumers may attempt the DIY route, but I expect that to be a very small minority).
What the what? I knew of the URGENT flag but had no idea the client discarded the last byte. What is the rationale behind that?
I think that the whole point of that was that the networking didn't scale well.
Make it an option? Plus, having the phone shutdown would force users to upgrade out of necessity without feeling swindled.

Yes! Though I walked from Cherbourg rather than Hook of Holland, I crossed the Alps between Salzburg and Kranj in Slovenia, and walked across the Balkans and Bulgaria.
cool i tried to add to cart but it did not work. thanks for letting me know about this company!
I can't relate to that at all. Having to stay awake in even more boring meetings? Not being able to write code any more? Why would any programmer want that - unless they didn't actually enjoy their job?
I'm a pretty big guy, so when I can't get an emergency exit seat, when the person in front of me reclines, not only can I not eat, but I can't watch any inflight entertainment, or do anything on the tray.
So I thank you for your consideration. I've had waifs leaning back fully while I'm trying to eat (and I mean, these people could extend their legs and not really be cramped in the seat. Meanwhile, I'm eating with an old rough cushion between my head and plate.
Good old Lufthansa ;)
I still think Apple should sue some publications for defamation for the manifestly bad reporting about this story [1]. Here's John Siracusa about it [2].

As the owner of an iPhone 6 that was degraded enough that even with the mitigation I had the issue, I agree.

Any time my phone was under ~15% battery, it would randomly crash during demanding tasks. I'd think the battery had died, but turning it back on would work immediately and my battery wouldn't be at 1%/0%.

At that point the battery capacity might as well be 85% of the already degraded value since the phone stops being stable.
If the password used for the user, in the remote machine, is different from that of the machine he/she is connecting from, the attacker will not be able to gain root access, even if the account has permission to escalate priviledges.
This basically means they're giving you the battery for free. Takes 30-45 minutes of semi-skilled labor to replace it, loaded cost of the employee for even 30 minutes has got to be pretty close to the $29 they're charging.

Wonder if this means we'll see 12-24 month phones popping up on eBay with battery health reports, or receipts showing the owner(s) had them changed out just prior to sale.
Now that I think about it, I'm not sure that the exact route matters. The ME can read and write its own firmware storage; that's a necessary capability for writing new firmware with the MEI. So if a compromised ME gets a chance to execute code after new firmware has been flashed, it can read out that new firmware and reinfect it. And that means that even direct flash via SPI won't work unless you can take the ME offline, flash the firmware, and then restart the motherboard without ever giving the compromised firmware a chance to do anything. Which I'm not sure is... entirely possible? I can see setups where it's impossible to be able to get access to firmware storage with the ME offline. This is getting way into the details of how these motherboards are wired up.
FWIW, I tried that DoS idea on a little digitalocean machine. It capped the number of open file descriptors for the SSH daemon at 1024. Only about 3000 file descriptors were in use after it stopped allocating channels, and file-heavy operations like apt-get still succeeded.

That gig was a lifeline, but didn't make him successful. It wasn't until he started getting visibility with the actual founders that he started to feel like he could do this as a job. Most of the don'ts are events where founders are too busy to attend or are swamped and it's almost impossible to stand out.

Really his takeaway is to make a name for yourself and the offers will roll in. Figure out a way to increase your stature or you'll never make it as a consultant. That's what all of the blog posts and hacker news articles were for, getting people who matter to know his name.
A perspective simulation of length scales between the smallest theoretical
“degrade the user experience to drive customer upgrades” (emphasis mine because you left that important part out)

If you bought a new phone strictly because your old one was slow, you might have an anecdotal point to make.
The right call is actually targeting performance at a level that would allow for longer consistent performance state.

If they're having to go to measures this drastic to keep their phones from shutting down, their batteries are underspec'd and their processors are overspec'd.
That's a neat idea. Do you mind expanding on it?
Personally I think this is great news. I like my 6s. I like my headphone port. I don't do anything CPU intensive on the phone. As long as security updates continue to be issued, I don't see a need to upgrade.

I got lucky and wasn't affected by the battery shutdown issue even though my serial # was eligible for a free battery replacement, so I was able to put off the free battery replacement for a couple years and get a new one free. In another 2 years I'll probably swap it again for 25 bucks :D
In our case:

- Referrals from the network (e.g. VC to portfolio)
- Cold outreach, once
- (mostly) old colleagues getting a new job and asking us for help

Anecdotally, I am so frustrated with the high number of low quality job applicants that I've started contacting top answerers on StackOverflow whose answers meet our standards. It's a great signal as the people we chatted to that way were always motivated, experienced and professional... and usually only available on a contracting basis.
Falcon is great. I have two ;-) And an X68000, though I'm not sure why I spent the money to have the latter. It's a hassle to work with (5 1/4" floppies with soft eject, hard to get parts/boards, non-standard SCSI, no decent floppy emulators, Japanese OS, hard to get software, 15khz frame rate video output on some games) and the PSU will self-destruct any day now given the crappy caps in them.
Alamo Drafthouse theaters show about as many special screenings of classic films as they do new features, and they've been expanding a lot the last couple years. If you're close to one, they're worth checking out.

I wasn't criticizing the act of short selling itself. I was criticizing the concept of an individual writing what amounts to a hit piece that was later retracted, and yet profiting off it despite the fact.

Or, in the first case, alleging that a company led to the death of an individual, when later the charge of murder was dropped.

It piqued my interest that in both cases, the meat of his allegations are at least highly ambiguous.

As someone whose job is not nearly as difficult as working with opioid addicts, it would be difficult to condemn such people without damning evidence.

That a person having respiratory issues might not be thought of as requiring hospitalization to me seems like something that could happen without negligence on the part of a rehab facility.

And the idea that rehab facilities are inherently motivated by greed when compared to cheaper outpatient programs based around prescriptions seems to infer malice when the obvious conclusion is that some people really believe that approach is superior. This claim is the type of thing that a competitor might believe but nobody else should.
Never has. To be clear, it sleeps, just never wakes up sometimes. It's actually quite often that this happens. Often it won't even wake up after opening the lid and tapping on its internal keys, so it's not just a USB issue. I'm not running anything unusual. Jetbrains IDEs, Chromium, iTerm2, vmware fusion, slack, sublime, etc. This is an ongoing issue for 4 OS X versions since I bought the laptop.

I've just given up on having a computer sleep and wake up properly, especially a laptop, like I've given up on ever seeing reliable bluetooth on the same laptop (can't even play when the speaker is literally touching the laptop without dropouts; phone has no problems). I assume that laptops with reliable sleep is something we might see again in 2020 and beyond (2007 mbpro had it). On the other hand, I know for a fact I will not see reliable bluetooth connections in my lifetime or maybe ever, so compared to that, there's still hope.

Apple is in this situation because they've very invested in having the fastest mobile processor on paper. So you get a high performing part when your phone is new, and all the reviews and benchmarks are done with the high performing part, but after a while the battery can't handle it, so they're forced into these shenanigans.
