I think that the timing issues are related to the problems with mixnets for anonymity: it turns out a global passive adversary can observe all messages sent and received and eventually determine which parties are talking to one another, within certain probability bounds. It sounds like a similar issue is at play with cryptocurrency.

The solution with anonymity is to send cover & real messages through the network in such a way that traffic analysis fails. One approach would be to saturate a network link, sending random cover data until there's real data to send, then returning to cover data. There are more bandwidth-friendly schemes as well.

Might a similar scheme for cryptocurrency be to constantly (or stochastically, based on some probability distribution) send money to one's own other addresses? Obviously there's an issue with transfer fees, but maybe this could be a tunable, based on how important your privacy is.

In any case, Zuckerberg's senate testimony should reveal the circumstances under which facebook data was shared or not shared with the Obama and Trump campaigns.

After all, both campaigns (and most major US political campaigns) surely had embedded Facebook employee account managers helping them spend as much money as effectively as possible, while scrutinizing their account usage.
It's Ubuntu. Protectli is the equipment, easily obtainable on Amazon. If I had to do over I would use PCEngines however since they use core boot. Edit: you will also need a wireless access point to plug into a lan port. Ubiquity unify is great and is much better coverage than the consumer grade router this replaced.

An excellent guide: https://killtacknine.com/building-an-ubuntu-16-04-router-par...

Up for months, incredible speed, no maintenance, except to add new domains to block when they prove to be spyware. Twitter may be next on the list since it is of declining use to me.

I'll add that I'm by no means a linux whiz, but learned a lot by doing this project.

Biggest issue is explaining to guests why they can't access facebook.

Another bene is you no longer have the planned obsolescence of consumer grade equipment. I fully expect this thing to last a decade, and "firmware" is automatically updated via linux.
The first smartphones had only 128mb of RAM and very slow performance. To remain compatible means supporting Swing, Java2D, CORBA, and a ton of other non-optional APIs included in the JDK. This was not really technically feasible in 2007.

For decades, people had been producing Java forks which weren't compatible, Sun didn't do much about them, and even encouraged them. Their main idea was to charge for the TCK and the right to use the Java(tm). Remember Ghost and WabaVM for PalmOS? Remember Kaffe +Classpath?

I'd argue that the idea of write-once-run-anywhere with a one-size-fits-all UI layer from mobile to server is a pretty bad idea. Apple seems to understand this, which is why iOS differs from NextSTEP.

> Before attacking huge swathes of the population especially about their ignorance

Wait, what? I never did that! The closest thing to an 'attack' I can imagine anyone reading from my post would have to have been about

> Republican politicians

which is surely a few thousand people at the most, it has got to be like 0.001% of the population that I said something negative about.

> But to say that people are anti-intellectual is just wrong.

Some people are. Some very important, prominent and influential people are in fact anti-intellectual and that is not wrong to say. Many Republican politicians are proudly anti-intellectual. They even say that. The GOP in some states like Texas specifically call out education as a problem in their party platform documents. They are, as a group, overall an anti-intellectual group. That is not a false statement, that is composed of their own words.

> it probably reflects people's misunderstanding about the good government does

Yes, that's my point. People have been brainwashed over decades to assume that the government does no good.

> (that is, they think it does more good than in reality).

I'm not sure I follow - I've never met a person in my life who thinks the government does good overall, certainly not more good than bad.
Completely agreed. I write music, and even that is decipherable - not as coherently as words, but it's a fairly direct form of communication of a kind of thought: when people ask "what does it mean" the answer is always "whatever it makes you think about". Same as words, really, or "the brain had ideas of its own about what the world was like" as Clark determines. The contents of this article don't surprise me at all.
Would you apply your reasoning to JavaScript, so that Safari and Chrome would be illegal due to failure to obtain a license for the JS APIs?

What about Linux? Linux copied the Unix syscall interface.

What about Wine?
Sometimes they build extra clones. Some of the mars rovers have a clone on Earth for simulation, fault studies, testing, etc
well, there are others, I would say, younger and more private and secure currencies than Monero - for example Sumokoin (https://www.sumokoin.org), setting Ring Confidential Transactions (RingCT) with minimum ringsize (mixin) of 12 to conceal sources/amounts transferred and make it high resistance to blockchain analysis (Monero does have 4 or something, even I have read devs are planning to increase it?)or even younger Ombre (https://www.ombre.io)....

add "illegal only" topic - well, that depends on point of view, for me personally there is always benefit to have real privacy for what are you paying for.. which you dont have with "fiat" currencies or less secure/private crypto currencies..
I agree it seems that way, but IMO JavaScript/v8 only exists (or is only the defacto client-side runtime) because Sun/Oracle messed up the Java/JVM trajectory at least twice.

1) was Sun making applets suck so bad, e.g. the JVM itself was too slow pre-JIT, classloading over the wire sucked, DOM interaction was hard (AFAIU/IIRC), etc.

I don't think any of these problems were fundamental to "put a VM in the browser", as conceptually Java & JS VMs aren't that different: the trade-offs JS/Brendan picked just worked better.

2) was Oracle being so lawsuit happy, as I think Dart could have been "just a faster/better browser-based JVM" (basically applets done right/with a great pre-JIT JVM) and not the combined "new language + new VM + new ecosystem", had Google felt comfortable using the Java language. It would have made a ton of sense, to reuse all their existing/internal Java tooling/knowledge/etc. But not with Oracle already breathing down their neck re Android.

Anyway, agreed it doesn't seem that way, but I think v8's success is actually more related to Sun/Oracle/Java's mistakes/missed opportunities than is initially apparent.

Not complaining, as we're in a great place now with v8/TypeScript/React Native being basically "the VM + type-safe language + framework that Java could have been", but with legitimately awesome features e.g. TS's type system, RN hot loading, etc.

I agree with you (and would support an even lower UBI if it meant it had a chance for the math to work out). The "fight for $15" people probably disagree, though.

Yes, if it's any good, it can save game developers (and not only them) a lot of time.
Actually, Microsoft's current strategy for pushing updates is to "accidentally" break the options that let you withhold updates for a period of time. They've broken them like three times in the last six months, arbitrarily forcing large groups of Pro users to later versions of Windows than they should've gotten.
this is really good...timely release.
>NASA is a means to an end for a lot of Republicans specifically, as they focus on economy and jobs from the spending bills, not the resources developed or the knowledge learned or the science experiments done or the kids they have inspired to become engineers or anything like that at all.

So... they only fund science because they care about how investment in science improves our lives? I find it much harder to fault them for that than you do.
Congress just passed a bill to increase our military budget by $60 billion so there must be a lot of 'new and exciting' things coming in warfare..
If you're using iOS, then they only get one shot at asking for permission with the system prompt, and if you say no, they can't do it again. So what most applications do is show a custom prompt (which they can show an unlimited number of times), and if you agree to that, then they show the system prompt, which users are unlikely to refuse at that point.

This means that it's pointless for them to show their custom prompt if you've already refused access, because even if you agree, they can't get the system prompt to show up again. So you can probably make the repeated prompts disappear by either a) agreeing to their custom prompt then refusing access when the system prompt appears, or b) going to Settings > Revolut and refusing access to your contacts there. The latter is probably the best way of doing it.

...I don't really see what the difference is. In both cases Google would end up with exactly the same API specification. There's no room for them to come up with an "original" API, because if the API they end up with is not an _exact copy_ of Oracle's, then software written for Oracle's Java implementation would not be compatible with Google's Java implementation (and vice-versa).
Well, first Sun treated Apache like shit over Harmony issue which had such big role in popularizing Java. Later Sun was was on receiving side.

Some friends and I have been talking and we think the better choice would be to write something that would flood your profile with data.

Your stuff may still be there but with that much noise it would make the data useless.
The whole point is that uber is developing their own gear. Dunno about you, but for me giving two self-driving systems control over the car at same time seems like a recipe for disaster. Of course they turned off the other systems.
"It is widely known that it's extremely difficult for humans to remain vigilant when monitoring systems for rare events."

It may be difficult to remain vigilant, but it's not difficult to stay off of your phone while you're at the wheel.

There are signs all over the road and commercials on tv telling people that texting and driving kills. Being on your phone while you're driving is illegal for that reason.

Having a self-driving car on the road with a car operator is legal. There are many companies with self-driving cars on the road that have higher intervention rates than Uber.

We'll never know whether that woman would've been saved if the car operator wasn't on their phone. We do know that what the car operator did was illegal.
I agree to an extent, but using Chrome to begin with kind of seems like it would be antithetical to the use of AdNauseam, or at least somewhat self-defeating given the support you'd be giving to Google.

Sure, having a pressure sensitive stylus opens up new options, but it's not a unique iPad feature compared to Chromebooks; as well as high-end models from Google and Samsung, the $349 (regular retail price, not an education/volume discount) Acer Chromebook Spin 11 (2-in-1 form factor) also comes with one.
Interestingly ahead of its time in that they had the idea of "DLC"'s already, in the form of small interchangeable expansion packs.

Apparently that never worked out, maybe because without the ease of downloading it wouldn't have sold enough against a single big expansion

So they have school issued Chromebooks too? Or is that just supposition?
You can't copyright trivial work so the size of the spec matters.

It depends on how you create your server. If you go to their website, look at their API, and start typing identical code then that's not ok. It's pretty clearly copying. If you do black box testing and then write your own API that's fine. It's clearly not copying but a new original work.

Occasionally the Republicans treat NASA well. They just got an extra $1.1 billion upgrade from the 2017 budget. By contrast the entire ESA budget is about $7 billion, so NASA is coming up on triple their budget.

[Mar 21] > The House Appropriations Committee released its version of the final FY2018 “omnibus” appropriations bill this evening. It provides $20.7 billion for NASA, an increase of almost $1.1 billion over FY2017. Almost all of NASA’s programs would benefit from the increase, but science, education, and a second mobile platform for the Space Launch System are big winners.

Twitter's Problem Goes Deeper Than Data, Short-Seller Andrew Left Says
Licensing costs are arbitrary. If you want to license some IP from me I can ask for a billion dollar for it. Or I can simply refuse to sell it. The point is that IMO Google or anybody else shouldn't have to ask for permission for cleanly reimplementing an API.

I think some people in this thread are minimizing the issue because they don't like Google but I think it's naive and short-sighted. It's not about Google or Oracle, it's about copyrighting APIs.
That's not right. You're setting your expectation for N = 100m miles, then updating it for N = 3 million miles?

That's like saying: "I rolled this red d20 twenty times before I rolled a 1, whereas I rolled a 1 the first time on this blue d20, so the red d20 is obviously better and I'm rolling all my saves on it".

Or, I don't know- "I rolled three 1s on this d20 in twenty rolls so it's obviously not a fair d20".
The Republicans are the ones who think "volcano monitoring" is a ridiculous expense, and who regularly mock perfectly legitimate and useful research because they happen to appear a little weird.

Like the "shrimp treadmill" research that was purported to have cost $3 million and been useless research, but actually cost under $100 and was described by the scientist like this:

"Simply put, my colleagues and I were studying how recent changes in the oceans could potentially affect the ability of marine organisms to fight infections—an important question, given that the amount of bacteria a shrimp is able remove from its body is directly related to how much bacteria could potentially end up on seafood-filled plates. And since shrimp are active animals in nature, it was logical to study the immune response of shrimp during activity."

"It is disingenuous for the Republican-controlled House Committee on Science, Space and Technology to promote the idea that scientists are wasting millions of taxpayer dollars to run shrimp on treadmills based on a 30-second video clip. Given that every teaspoon of seawater can contain millions of bacteria, it does not take a mental giant to understand that the health of marine organisms and the safety of the seafood we eat are closely related.

The health of the organisms that inhabit the largest ecosystem on the planet and the potential bacterial contamination of the food we eat are serious and important questions. I, like many of my colleagues, are deeply concerned by the minimization and politicization of our work."
Given that, maybe they're trying to head off some potential bad press if a journalist gets some facts incorrect.

I think the traceability concerns are mostly handled since while it might be possible to infer an identity from an address that's sent to or from an exchange account, it's a lot more murky once those coins are moved elsewhere. If you know that address ABC belongs to me, and you see I sent coins to address DEF (which is entirely offline and using a brainwallet), and later DEF sends coins to GHI, you're left with the task of proving that DEF and GHI belong to me, and weren't me paying someone else.
I love my iPad Pro, but as someone looking to use a device as basically a powerful remote terminal I think Chromebooks are better. iPad Pro is not what they released, but I have experience trying to use the device like how they'd intend for kids in schools and I would never pick iPads over Chromebooks.

In fact I keep almost buying a Pixelbook because it simply would do what I want better even though nothing would be "native" as it is on the iPad. Solid keyboard, still has touch and pen input (not that I'd really use it), and full access to browser and extra stuff.

In school you want them to have access to any of the web tools out there (chrome is best for web compatibility and developers target it where safari often lags strangely and is missing features. Try for instance to navigate http://amazon.com on an iPad Pro 10.5" and you'll see the problems) with a single login system so the device doesn't matter that is easily audited and managed by a teacher with support provided by the IT at the school.

Chromebooks hands down.
Are you perhaps referring to Android's very recent switch to GPL-licensed OpenJDK[1] from Harmony after the lawsuit? There was no GPL licensed (and certified) version of Java when the Android project kicked off - OpenJDK came into existance later. Also - Apache Harmony predated OpenJDK by a few years.

Basically targeting WebAssembly as if it was just yet another hardware architecture.

So expect the comeback of Flash, Silverlight, Applets, ActiveX, ....

What to do a Flash like game without anything related to JavaScript?

Pure C, C++, Rust with SDL, Unreal, Unity, ....

Miss Silverlight? Check Blazor with Ooui bindigs for Xamarin.Forms.

Go devs already have their design document for WebAssembly runtime ("WebAssembly architecture for Go").

Qt already has a prototype for WebAssembly, with improvements planned on 2018's roadmap.

And many other projects are ongoing.

The pandora box is open, the only back is if the browser vendors stop developing WebAssembly.
This is pretty sad to hear. The Webb telescope is highly anticipated, not only becaue it has a 3x larger mirror than Hubble, but because it is capable of observing in the infrared range, something no earth based telescope is able to due to atmosphere absorption.

I really enjoyed the first edition, though I will admit I didn't read the true original, I read the Ruby version that was adapted for (and approved by) Martin himself. Given I do Ruby/Python programming, it was a better book for me than the original, but since I also do plenty of JavaScript programming, I imagine I will at least skim the 2nd edition as well.
Do you have any math do back up that what I said is wrong?
I can try to explain my point better but I see you are ignoring the math so maybe I should not waste my time.(we can reduce the problem to balls in a jar and make things easy)

But think about this, if I killed a person in my first 10 km of driving, what is the chance that will kill 0 after the next 999990, would you bet that I will kill 0 or 1 , more then 10?

As someone who grew up well below the poverty line, I suggest you look into what is actually considered poverty in the United States. It is an extremely high threshold in terms of absolute poverty and reflects an ever-increasing dollar amount rather than a standard of living. If you look at the number of people today who have a standard of living at or below what was considered poverty in 1918 I think you'll find the percentage has steadily decreased over time. As people get further and further from real poverty we just raise the standard. I'm not saying that is necessarily bad, but most people who talk about the poverty line don't really think about how much the standard of living at that level has improved over the past 100 years or so.
Yup, every piece of “home user” gear I’ve tried has needed regular reboots, or failed in ~24 months.

After great feels using it at work, setup Ubiquiti kit at home two years ago and only rebooted it when I decided to move the APs to improve signal coverage on the far end of our house.

For $100-ish an AP these days (my home units are the UniFi AP-AC Long Range on Amazon), I don’t see any reason to buy anything else
Probably the most equivalent existing open source thing out there is ENet, which doesn't do encryption or detailed stats. If you've signed the steam NDA (which is free of charge iirc) you can check out the existing docs for the closed source version, which has extra features on top of this.
