The answer to both the byod and permissions questions is the "tiered" device trust part from the article. You, the policy-maker decide how certain you are that a device hasn't been pwned given its provenance and user access story, and you assign a "trust tier" accordingly, which determines what resources it can access.

I don't think beyondcorp necessarily changes your incident response story, assuming you already have one.

A lot of this discussion glosses over the fact that U2F really makes this a viable system. U2F solves the MITM problem and ensures that the anyone who logs in does so with a company-issued hardware authenticator in physical communication (usually USB, but maybe also NFC or Bluetooth) with the client device. This means that even in a byod story, there's a piece of corp-issued hardware always attached. This in turn means that impersonation requires physical device theft in addition to credential theft.

A Tale of Three Kings: How Unbabel Tested Python, Elixir and Go
Because a protocol with a finite number of coins has an inherent value to it.

But not value that can be captured by the creator of the protocol. Let's go back to cloud storage. Sellers of storage sell 1GB-Month for 1 token (or whatever). Buyers of storage eventually run out of tokens because they've given them all to sellers. So they have to purchase the tokens back from sellers for dollars. How much will sellers charge? The cost of storage (plus whatever profit they can get away with).

At that point buyers of storage are paying exactly what they'd pay for storage if the token system didn't exist. It's just this goofy middle layer of scrip. There's no magical extra money that the protocol creator can siphon off.

Step back and look at the big picture. The only way for a protocol creator to make money is for either sellers of storage to charge less than they otherwise would or for buyers of storage to pay more. Why would either of those two groups ever want to do that?
Thanks for adding details.

One of the plot points of The Big Short that I found interesting was Mark Baum character finally discovering who was on the other side of the swap he buys from Jared Vennett at Deutsche Bank. And then you had the whole Florida subplot showing how the housing bubble entangled people all the way down the food chain.

I'm still not clear who the suckers are in these cryptocoin markets that are driving up the price. I'm starting to hear stories about barbers and janitors and friends of friends buying in. I guess it got popular enough in South Korea that the government had to step in.

I don't think the spec actually makes that guarantee anywhere. It says that a page fault will be generated if a memory access violates page protection bits, but doesn't discuss any other potential side effects.

The closest thing I can find is Intel Architecture Reference Manual Volume 3, Section 5.1.1:

> With page-level protection (as with segment-level protection) each memory reference is checked to verify that
protection checks are satisfied. All checks are made before the memory cycle is started, and any violation prevents the cycle from starting and results in a page-fault exception being generated. Because checks are performed in parallel with address translation, there is no performance penalty.

If you read section 11 on caching, the terminology "memory cycle" seems to exclude cache access. Indeed, Volume 3, Section 11.7 explicitly warns that implicit caching might happen that you would not expect:

> Implicit caching occurs when a memory element is made potentially cacheable, although the element may never
have been accessed in the normal von Neumann sequence. Implicit caching occurs on the P6 and more recent
processor families due to aggressive prefetching, branch prediction, and TLB miss handling.
What would be the reasons to do so?

Ancient devices don't cease to work (unless their hardware fails, of course). They just don't get upgrades and new features (new apps, etc etc). A factory reset (or reflash) may be required to get rid of cruft, then reinstall apps from backup - but afterwards it would work.

If the postmarketOS would offer more features (mostly I think of apps) than some ancient Android, this may be a reason to replace the OS. But I really doubt it would happen. It would require a lot of effort to get anywhere close to Android 4.x ecosystem.

And I believe most users would prefer old apps (downloaded as .apks from random archive sites) to some security patches they frequently don't even know about.
Bylock app is a closed group chat app. The people who used it heavyly in Turkey was a group called Gulenist. They staged the coup in July 15, 2016, and failed. Turkish intelligence service had already infiltrated the Bylock server at least 6 months before the coup attempt. AFAIK the server was in a Eastern Eurepean country.

Since the coup attempt prosecutors using Bylock communications as one data point to identify group members. They do this going through the telecommunication logs connections from members' phones to that particular server. Gulenist as a counter measure and to dilute themselves within the general population they used another app that connects to that server. The app is simply an app that tells the prayer times (for muslims). So whoever used that app became a suspect as well. A friend of mine unfortunately lost her job because of that. She went through a big turmoil for about a year. For one, she is nothing to do with the group and has been a critic of them years before the coup attempt. Think about for a second if you go through an ordeal for the very thing you have been opposed.

Fortunately, again government realized this sinister plot and has been trying to identify who is really were not affiliated with the group. And my friend, after a year later, clear of blame and reinstated by the government back to her job. She is physician.

Unfortunately public either half or misinformed most of the time. This is a very sinister group who tried to overthrow a government who was elected democratically, and a very popular one. During the coup attempt 243 ordinary citizen were killed in the hands of these people. For a moment just think what would you do if your own F-16 fighter jets are bombing you, your very own rifles are showering bullets when you are demonstrating against the coup.
>I don't think exercise of government power is correct; I feel exercise of consumer choice is more appropriate.

The fault with your idea is that consumer choice that organically influences the market will always lag greatly relative to immediate & absolute government regulation. Sometimes, the correction on a monopolistic with consumer choice alone can not be achieved.

>who is this hypothetical poor man who's so bad at managing money that an exact total of the amount he's spending will cause him to overspend ?

It is not hypothetical, it is a peculiar - but not so uncommon - man/woman with a limited amount of money in his/her hands (and of course no credit card or similar), the single 50 in the example (but it could be 20 or 100) banknote.

He/she is willing to spend the whole amount of money, but before didn't because he/she was afraid to be seen as having only that given limited amount of money and by making approximate mental calculation tended to undereestimate (or if you prefer preferred to be on the safe side).

With the barcode reader he/she can spend the whole amount of money he/she has available with no risk of appearing (to the cashier, to the people in queue) as "poor".

The poiont is not that with the new system this kind of "poor" people overspend, rather it is that before it underspent.

That depends on the chip and what you really think you need.

Me personally I'm fine with framebuffer drivers, I don't need hardware acceleration. So that needs no blobs. For some Qualcomm chipsets you can get 3D acceleration working without blobs using freedreno.

I personally started working on getting the qualcomm modem userspace blobs working under pmOS[0].

If you just want pretty much everything to get to work, there's also the halium project[1] which runs a stripped down android in an LXC container to provide that stuff. This could easily be ported to pmOS too.

It really depends on how libre you want your phone to be. Android applications could probably be run on pmOS too using e.g. Anbox[2].

snikeris, When you find that no evidence would convince the person you're arguing with, it is actually a good sign--It raises the probability that your opinion is correct! This scenario is very different than the introspection needed when you encounter someone rational and open minded with a different opinion.
No. In this context "pumped" isn't a synonym for "overpriced". It refers specifically to a few dozens of people buying, then hyping (pumping) a stock to tens of thousands of people, who then buy raising the price, allowing the original dozen of people to sell (dump) at a profit.

To (potentially) match Rust/C++ performance Swift needs

1. Stack and static-allocated arrays.

2. True pass-by-reference for value types.

3. A sufficiently-smarter compiler that's more often able to elide dynamic allocations, reference counting, bounds checks, vtables etc. (Lifetime semantics will help with this).
You can definitely tell which one's the AI, but if you weren't particularly paying attention on, say, a phone call (where you're used to bad audio quality anyway), you might not immediately notice.

They keep moving the goalposts. At this point Crypto is just "whatever gets people to invest money into it."

I've often thought that micro-services were more of a software engineering management solution rather than a technical one.

From the perspective of a high-level architect it makes delegating certain types of responsibility a bit easier and potentially reduces the need for communication between teams while maintaining centralized control of the overall system.

However, it always seems to come with such a high overhead that IMHO it's almost never worth doing unless there really isn't another option.
The simple fact that a currency like Bitcoin is technically limited to a set number of transactions per second should be proof to anyone with a brain that it is fundamentally flawed.

There are over 7 billion people in the world. A good crypto-currency should be able to handle millions of transactions a second, indefinitely. It should be as ubiquitous and as easy to use as the internet itself. In an ideal scenario, the cost to run the currency network should be cheap enough that there should be virtually no transaction fees other than participation alone (think bittorrent), and the entire thing should be secure and un-hackable. It should be stable in value, or at least slightly inflationary (so people actually spend it instead of just holding onto it and treating it as an investment vehicle).

Bitcoin doesn't even come close to meeting these goals. It's so incredibly flawed, it boggles my mind how people don't see the glaring problems.

The wheel is moving, though! Bitcoin may not be the end-all, be-all solution, but it has certainly got people thinking.
In my native Norway, we let the public sector and private sector compete to perform public services. I can't say that I've ever seen that the private sector has a clear advantage, otherwise they would already have taken over running everything.

In fact I think I know of far more cases of private companies doing considerably worse job than what the public sector did.

My city recently switched to a private company for garbage collection e.g. It was an absolutely horrible mess. My home town had a care home for mentally ill people, that got taken over by a private company. They promised to run it cheaper than the government. Except they totally messed up everything. They lost a lot of talented people, who quit due to their poor management. Then they demanded to be paid more than the public solution had charged to do the same job.

So not only were they worse, they were also more expensive. Sure these are just anecdotes. But it puts a hole in the claim that the private sector is ALWAYS better. To disprove the notion of always you only need a single counter example.

I am not against private companies. Just let them compete on equal terms and prove that they can do the job better. Unfortunately our conservative government is often so ideologically tied to the idea of private always being better than they push for private sector solutions even when a company is not able to demonstrate that they do a better job.

In fact almost every case I've seen where a private company does the job cheaper, it is because they give their employees worse conditions and salaries, not because of smarter organization and management.
Thank god for usps.

To piggy back on something you said: a big issue I noticed recently is that it seems a lot of the websites people use to track this stuff have charts in <other coin> vs. BTC rather than <other coin> vs. USD (or some other established currency). As BTC goes up and down, these charts are extremely misleading due to the volatility. This dramatically pushes things into fantasy speculation land since people are valuating their speculative investments based on another very speculative investment. If BTC drops in USD price, and your altcoin of choice gains slightly vs BTC, these charts would show a "gain" when I think in reality it is still a loss.

To be more specific, it’s not based on knowledge of art but knowledge of community. The art market is a subculture in every sense. It has only a superficial relationship with objective human creativity or even art history.

“You have to know what you’re looking for” is both correct and misleading. The thing you’re looking is predominantly a record of aristocratic relations. This was not always the case, but it is very much is now.

The way to view it is as a bubble. It’s a bubble based on the notion that common people cannot be trusted to evaluate art. This claim does hold water, but it was historically based on cultural intelligence which is no longer synonymous with capital wealth.

The average art history knowledge an art investor has is fairly superficial, which is probably best, because the market could care less about theory and critique.
I'm not sure if you are in the US but if you are my understanding is that if you are under 21 you can always go back to high school. I think the amount of red tape you will avoid by going back and finishing will far outweigh the costs. Having a High School diploma is tremendously more valuable then a GED. I think 20 years from now you will be glad that you did it.
