> he'd also introduced us to every bit of syntax we would learn in the course.

This doesn't seem like a very meaningful distinction to me. Lisp may not have a lot of syntax, but it still has a comparable number of features to other languages used in intro classes. You have to learn those features as you encounter them regardless of whether they come with new syntax or not, and the new syntax frankly isn't the hard part of that.

Rust certainly has more features than Scheme, of course. :)

Investors are acting out of greed. They are perfectly willing victims.

Please no more regulation, or American influence/special position ("I can get my money back, because you sold me a security, and the price didn't went to the moon").

Fraudulent ICOs are written and warned about wide and far. It is easy to do due diligence. People who don't research any of their investments, need no more protection, than those who put everything on black, buy art that devaluates in value, or buy a second-hand Zune for their grand children.

For the standard LE certs, you need a public facing web server for the domain name in question, and LE give you a keyfile to put into:

'/.well-known/pki-validation'

For the wildcard certs, you just need to add a TXT record to the public DNS entry, no public web server required.

Even if you have no intention of using your internal DNS domain name on the internet, it's good practice to register it anyway.
What can AMD do with 24h notice? Could they even verify the veracity of the claim in that time?

As am AMD system owner, I would much prefer that big flaws were disclosed in a coordinated manner with AMD - giving them a fair chance to verify and find a solution, rather than giving bad actors a head start.

Participants in any investment fraud at doing so out of greed. The whole bloody point of investment is greed. If I wasn't greedily chasing returns, I'd keep my money in my mattress.

That does not mean that fraud should be legal. Stealing from stupid people is still stealing. Stealing from greedy people is still stealing. I don't understand how this is controversial.

Those processes are also burdensome to the retailer. That's the whole point of accepting returns in the first place, because it reduces hassle for everyone. If you stop accepting returns, you're back to the old way of doing things, plus your old customer is also blasting your intransigence over social media and driving new customers away.

If I can't return an item, I will be much more cautious about buying in the first place. As I am already very cheap, that usually means the time horizon for me to make a buying decision now spans well beyond the time I am spending in the store. Which means I will be elsewhere when thinking about a purchase. Which means that when I finally do decide to buy, I then have to decide from where.

Even if I never return an item, reducing the consequences of me making a wrong choice when buying something makes me more likely to actually spend my money. This means liberal return policies, price-match guarantees, in-stock guarantees for sale items, etc.

I don't know how much they actually lose to returns fraud, but I do know how much they never gain because I don't even bother to shop there any more.
This would not be the first time that the MTA has willfully deceived the public by maintaining two sets of facts - the private set which reflects the truth and another set of facts that are used in discussion with the public.

15 years ago the MTA was caught maintaining two different sets of books - one internal that showed the agency had a surplus of cash and another set of books for the public which showed the agency as being "cash strapped" and needing to raise fares as a result. See:

http://www.nytimes.com/2003/04/23/nyregion/hevesi-says-mta-m...

The culture of this agency is rotten and its corruption endemic. It's hard to believe it's capable of producing anything other than it's current broken state.

I would suggest that you be VERY careful with that expressiveness if you want to do anything in an actual hardware context. Verilog makes it very easy (IME much easier than VHDL) to create structures that, while technically possible to synthesize, take enormous amounts of logic resources.
>>Not all political stories are off topic, but the ones that only stir up outrage, however justifiably, and don't also gratify intellectual curiosity, are not a good fit.

So does that mean I can flag anything that doesn’t gratify my intellectual curiosity?

Because I personally find it very intellectually curious what is currently happening in the United States, but when those stories get buried by a few overzealous people then I feel like I should do the same when someone else posts a story about the latest JavaScript framework. Yet I feel like if I started flagging them I would probably lose my privileges here.
I'm the author, if anyone wants to discuss!
Idea that's been floated before: TOFU plus a distributed network of people automatically sharing what cert fingerprints they encounter. Chances are high that you already hit Facebook on your $device, and if you all of a sudden retrieved a certificate that didn't match the one you had before, or that most other people online hadn't seen, halt and throw up the warnings.

Given the exploitability, laziness, general failure to follow best practices, not to mention misaligned incentives that we're seeing from major CA vendors, having centralized CAs seems like an ever-worsening solution.

Patents are a mechanism for rewarding useful inventions.

The definition of "useful invention" is difficult to get right, and the current US patent system is quite a ways off from a reasonable definition.

However, I'm pretty sure the most societally beneficial definition of "useful invention" is not "perfect fodder for the ideal VC-funded startup" (aka fixed costs with exponential user base growth).

The author is correct that if an invention is perfect VC fodder, then patents aren't necessary. But the author is incorrect in the implicit assumption that any "useful invention" is necessarily perfect VC fodder.

They would be on shaky ground with credit cards, which is why these terms state they only apply when "proof of purchase" is lacking - a CC purchase has intrinsic proof of purchase.

Where this surveillance system has become a major pain in my ass is returns over 90 days at Home Depot. The last period I had intensive HD purchases, I could count on returning stuff [0] late that I'd rather not stock, eating the sales tax, and then spending the store credit. Now it's be sure to return within 90 days or plan on keeping it to not end up flagged.

Also, I have personally stuck black tape [1] over the serial number and the barcodes on my drivers' license. When asked to show ID, this lets me exercise judgment about whether the rarer bits are revealed. This is especially handy at unknown liquor stores where the cashier will not have the courtesy to even ask before swiping your license in an electronic reader, backhauling it into the surveillance matrix.

In principal Bart[0] is supposed to be operated almost automatically and the train operator is there for announcements, closing doors and watching the track for hazards.

But there is one type of delay that’s gotten exponentially worse during that time: a catchall category blandly titled “insufficient capacity, excess dwell, unknown,” which captures every delay without an obvious cause.

This smacks of corruption or of elements of society deciding that systems aren't going to simply work anymore. The population of New York City when I lived in Queens was 7.3 million when I lived there in 1989. The subways pretty much worked back then. The figure for population of New York City in 2017 I found was 8.5 million. Population increase can't account for the difference. There must have been considerable systemic decay.
There was an automatic light rail to Docklands in London when I last visited. In 1991.

Helsinki metro was planning to have automated trains when the western extension opens in 2014. It opened in late 2017, without automation because of technical difficulties. I have a hard time believing there will be much automated traffic on the roads here (with uneven surfaces, unclear markings, snow, and other traffic) before the metro can be automated (in a dedicated tunnel where there is no other traffic, movement is technically only possible on the rails and there is no snow).

SEC enforcement does not fix the problems that we discussed in the post. Many projects have raised money through Reg D exemption filings (such as Blockstack and Filecoin), but they are still ultimately selling utility tokens.

We are arguing that the incentives behind ICOs of utility coins are bad. I could easily devote more blog posts to the legal/regulatory side, but that is not our intention for this post.
Yeah, it is an argument you've lost, because it's a bad argument.

Even places like dreamhost give you a letsencrypt cert for free on any domain.

I don't get how you get to me thinking the vendor gets to treat these problems as an externality? I am all in favor of slagging vendors who release buggy shit. For hardware (and some software) manufacturers I'd be in favor of significant legal remedies available to people who purchase hardware later found to contain security vulnerabilities.

But I think that should be done after mitigations are in place to protect end users, or if the vendor is not taking good-faith steps to mitigate the problem.

And I am not saying one should be "restrained from speaking" at all. I am saying that choosing to do so makes one an asshole, and that decent people should strive to not be assholes.

Note that the TCO structure proposed in the article is compliant with SEC regulations and is under SEC oversight; they're not proposing self-regulation.

Ultimately, SEC regulations don't allow people to do what they want to do (and I don't think the limitations of SAFTs/TCOs have become obvious yet), so you're really just calling for ICO-like fundraising to be banned. That would be fine with me, but don't expect people who raised millions to just give that money back with no resistance.

I think that is a fair depiction. I think also that [3] requires that people are capable, en masse, of protecting themselves from those bad actors.

How on earth does the system ever work at all?

By promising a schedule that doesn't assume nothing goes wrong. Time padding means the inevitable minor delays can be absorbed quickly, and infrequent longer delays are recoverable.

Also, I don't know about Toronto, but most of the big delays in Boston are issues with equipment rather than passengers. Derailment, signal failure, etc. should scale with vehicle traffic rather than vehicle occupancy/passenger count, and big delays decrease how much traffic is going around at the moment.

I am not a security researcher, and I do not speak for the person you are replying to, but I do believe that Intel's documented history of unethical, anticompetitive practices against AMD, for example, deliberate compiler handicapping for non Intel CPUs[1], is enough evidence to establish at least some suspicion regarding these results, especially considering the short warning given to AMD before public disclosure.

I also wonder, what is the purpose of such white hat operations if vulnerabilities are disclosed publicly without anywhere near adequate time for a fix? Isn't SOP to give more time before going public?

You're absolutely correct about fear combined with lack of control.

It's the same thing that powers fears over mass shootings even though, statistically, they are a tiny fraction of overall gun violence. Most of the rest, however, can be avoided by keeping yourself out of bad situations with gangs or drugs...so even though the stats are higher people feel more in control...vs just being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

> There is a "reasonably accepted" definition of black hat, by your reasoning, and it is: someone who uses computers in bad faith.

Speaking as someone who 1) works in the security industry, 2) has managed corporate disclosure programs as an internal security engineer, 3) has run a security consulting firm working with many companies, and 4) has reported security vulnerabilities in disclosure programs; no, that's not the reasonably accepted definition. I can't think of any colleague I've ever worked with off the top of my head, nor any widely read security-focused periodical (like Krebs), who would use the term "black hat" for such a generalized disagreement of ethics.
To me, it seems like another way of trying to answer the question with more questions, but no way of discovering the answers.

You're right that there's no evidence for a multiverse yet, so it's just one of many conjectures. If the point you're making is that the notion of God is just as unsupported as the notion of a multiverse, yeah, I'd accept that. They're both "Not even false." Occam's Razor them both.
