They asked for multiple extensions, couldn’t give a hard deadline on the Redstone release, didn’t disclose why it was hard to patch (“unforeseen code interactions” is basically every patch ever, definitionally!) and a comparable bug has gone unpatched since being publicly disclosed since Aug 2017. Also, looking at the fix... if they have code that relies on being able to lie about which DLL a COM object maps to maybe that’s a problem?!

The onus is on MS to show more time is warranted, and so far I’m only seeing evidence to the contrary.
> From a usability standpoint, the keys are so shallow that the tips of your fingers hurt after extended usage as if you've been pressing them into cement.

Only if you habit of striking the keys too hard, which I used to do as well. The only real solution at the moment for the end user is to either not buy the laptop, or adapt to a less vigorous typing style. Before my purchase of the 2016 13" nTB, I went to the store several times to ensure I could maintain the same speed as I do with Cherry MX Brown and Topre switches.

That said, I'm interested to see what the ThinkPad keyboards are like, because I don't much like any other laptop keyboard (including XPS or other older Apple keyboards).

I encourage you to learn to type more smoothly and "feel" for what force is actually required to trigger the clicks. It's worthwhile reaching a point where you don't have to fight it, and it's possible to still hit 100 to 110 wpm on the Butterfly 2 mechanism if that is your Cherry MX Brown speed.
I'm very skeptical about the applicability of group theory to computer science - outside of the usual applications to counting/combinatorics and crypto/number theory.
The requirement to use facebook is not a legal one, but a social one defined by friends and family members who insist on using it (a.k.a. the networking effect).

In theory, governments can define and implement draconian checks on how collected data is processed by itself. People seem to trust that theoretical ability more than companies claiming to implement rigorous standards, but can do so without direct outside oversight or control. This is independent of whether it is actually true.
Maybe this is why we haven’t heard from advanced alien civilisations: they’ve all extinguished their suns in an effort to mine the next block, thereby rapidly rendering their whole civilisation extinguished.

Of course, any sufficiently advanced civilisation that can build a Contraption to extract all the energy from s star should also be advanced enough to build a computer model complex enough to reveal the secrets of warp drive, but didn’t because they were too busy mining crypto.

First off, this is about disclosure, not fixing.

Second, you're neglecting the time aspect.

This is a valid argument: "There's a similar issue that microsoft hasn't bothered patching for months, so what's the point in keeping it secret?"

This is not a valid argument: "In a few months there will be a similar issue, so what's the point in keeping it secret?"

So there is no loop leading to mistakes.
I think the 'on paper' part is crucial. Rather than find new things to fight for, perhaps now is the time to double down and make that 'on paper' more real society-wide. I'm assuming it isn't, but I hope I'm wrong about that.

While personally I support a lot of the even more 'forward-thinking' fights, I do think it's become more and more clear that a lot of people have difficulty accepting all those things we've made progress on, on paper. I worry about that disconnect.

It's a bit like wanting to add new features when perhaps refactoring old code is the better thing to do.

That would be fantastic.
What functions in particular about the trackpad do you like most - the multitouch gestures or just the tracking/acceleration? Because Linux (i3wm) to me is almost synonymous with getting better usage out of the keyboard so that the trackpad isn't so important. There are so many aspects of macOS that discourage keyboard use.

>And the problems with smelting dont negate the idiocy (imho) of mining.

Except that in Iceland, crypto mining could literally, and I use the word literally in the classical and correct sense, actually negate the problems of smelting. If crypto miners out-bid aluminium smelters on power prices, the smelting will leave Iceland and move closer to the source of the ore without any net loss in income to the Icelandic economy.

The economy of aluminium in Iceland /is/ the economy of selling electricity to foreigners. It generates some dock work as well, but the bauxite is here for the power prices, not the light touch of the local forklift drivers. If we can sell that electricity without shipping things, that's obviously better.

You're welcome to think that's idiocy if you like, I guess.
I find the opposite tends to happen in Java. In the pursuit of testability, people make libraries much harder to use and understand.

That is a fear fanned by the 0.1% because they need a scapegoat which isn't them for the good jobs which they destroyed.

They destroyed them with a combination of austerity (e.g. not fixing potholes) and outsourcing (e.g. the million odd Chinese not-robots who actually make your iPhone).

All of this happened before in the 1930s - the austerity, the unemployment, the blame placed on automation by a subservient media and even the rise of budget-conscious automated restaurants (e.g. horn & hardart) that are profitable when the population is tightening its collective belt.

Whether we get out of it the same way we did last time - with an end to austerity with a job guarantee that builds necessary infrastructure and fiscal stimulus is purely a matter of wresting power back from the 0.1%.

Then, maybe in 100 years, the cycle will again repeat itself.
Ah, excellent! Thanks. That answers my question. I also found the idea of early termination via static rank very intriguing.

Papers like this have been written for older GPU architectures and it is disappointing to even have the need for them. That such a paper was presented at a manufacturer's conference is icing on the irony cake.

My underdeveloped tinfoil hat speaks that they want to acknowledge the reverse engineering methods involved and are secretly hoping that they get applied to the competition, too, so they can extract the competitor's secrets from a public source instead of ending up in a reverse engineering grey area.
Is you need drugs to become more open minded and empathetic, the source of the problem is your upbringing, and by proxy the culture. The contemporary liberal western culture actively works towards shaping us into selfish materialistic consumerist narrow minded soulless beings. Half a trillion dollars per year go towards this effort, and the solution is start drugging ourselves with LSD? Bet, if that ever became common, advertisers would find some way to exploit that too, so that instead of enlightenment your mind starts flashing ads all throughout the high.
Google has huge problem with GDPR, their whole bussiness model is standing on tracking users, they are only smart enough not to piss into the wind. Actually they know far more about you than FB, imagine that they have almost everything you have on your android phone.

And let me explain "draft it". They lobbied. The proof for that is fb and ggl attack on Canada to prevent legalising something similar as GDPR.

Please (PLEASE, FOR GOD SAKE!), stop beeing protective to corporations, either FB, CocaCola, Tesla, Google or whatever comes to your mind. None is have priority in making world a better place, their only priority is money and power and money and they do not care about you more then a milking cow. If you disagree, you have fundamential lack of understanding how world functions.
The point is - it's neither one nor the other: Combining working fuel cell technology with batteries really gives the best of both worlds:

- Batteries are the most efficient in the long run and very dynamic at power release, but they are heavy (more than half the weight of Tesla's truck is the batteries), use lots of rare resources and take pretty long to recharge. It's getting better, but if you really want to drive a few thousand miles with short fuel breaks in an emergency, you can't.

- Hydrogen fuel cells suck at dynamic release, they really want to have a constant power draw. They're less efficient than batteries, but you can refuel quickly and don't have to carry the fuel weight with you all the time.

Taking all the technical challenges of storing hydrogen and making efficient fuel cells aside for the moment, combining the two technologies is really awesome in a way. You can get rid of two thirds of the batteries — and suddenly you have a car that's all of: easy to instantly refill, still dynamic to accelerate and overtake on the highway due to the batteries, but you also just have to dimension the fuel cell for average, not for peak power draw.

Considered the hydrogen is CO2 neutrally generated, it's really the optimum solution.
ZTE apparently paid bonuses to 30+ people even though that were involved in some kind of violation. I bet Wells Fargo well also pay the CEO and the board very handsomely.

We all have different words that we are unfamiliar with of course but “PR” is most accurately categorized as an economics / marketing term IMO, and I think the meaning of the word “PR” is widely known so I don’t agree that the article is written for journalists based on that alone. I generally agree that abbreviations should be explained on first use but personally I would not bother to have explained what PR stood for because I (perhaps incorrectly) would have expected that word to be so widely known that no explanation would be necessary.
I am surprised that I had to scroll for so long to find a comment about the dumpster fire!
Yes, that is DI too, you can think of it something like 'injecting a shared singleton service', and yes the passing into a constructor is the basic approach you might call 'manual DI'.

And yep modules can let you avoid the need for that, you can share singletons by exporting an instance from a module, and then if you import that module from 2 other modules, both will get the same instance [1].

Though tbh that still feels a bit gross to me :) There are other solutions (like the context API [2] in React for passing some data/instance to multiple components at different levels in your 'component tree').

They haven’t had job security in decades. It’s just now more deliberate on the oldsters.

They are a mature business. They are at a phase of giving money back to shareholders, not inventing the next thing.
How do you feel about other energy intensive industries, e.g. aluminium smelting? Does Iceland not profit from selling energy to industrial customers? Why would you assume they are not doing the same with miners?
Some firms have a school bus model too there though.

I’ve found the way around age discrimination is to actively seek out older bosses.

Yeap, you right. I saw many stories about malware in sold extensions. Also, I've talked with such company, and they offered me a couple of thousands but told me straightforward that want to embed an aggressive advertisement inside. That is completely inappropriate for me because I respect my users.

I also tried to contact with companies with related business and have sent about 15-20 offering emails. But no luck: only a couple responses, which sound like "Thanks, but we are not interested." Others just ignored it.

If one stops to think about it, not being able to ever delete by design is a ludicrous concept when it comes to social networking. It takes relatively isolated cases of people mirroring and publicising stuff without consent to an extreme.

Never expecting to need to delete is akin to expecting that you've peaked in life already and future-you will not be looking back and cringing.

Facebook's "On this Day" feature I believe has helped a lot of people realise this - at least when it comes to users who have been around for ~10 or so years.

It might well be possible that the solution to Facebook and Twitter isn't more internet social networking, but more real life networking. So while some people appear to be raving about the merits of Steemit and Mastodon, many more are probably already too jaded to continue on yet another "social" network. The problem isn't necessarily the technology if the problem is us. Fixing societal and political problems by trying to throw more technology at it isn't the answer.
Interesting, thanks! How is your experience using that in production?
Not sure if hydrogen cars are the future. But at the least, for a few years, they will run side by side with BEVs. Definitely in the form of buses and garbage trucks.

That's why I'm currently quite fond of platinum as a speculative investment. Fuel cells require quite a bit of platinum. Yet platinum has rarely been cheaper relative to other commodities like gold. I think because the market is discounting a decline in diesel engines and maybe because of recycling. (Even though platinum has been more expensive than gold even before catalysts were common.)

In addition, platinum deserves to receive a geopolitical risk premium. 80% of the world's platinum is mined (at a loss!) in South Africa, which is prone to intense labor disputes and looking less attractive every day. And the next big producer is Russia. Yet above ground stock piles have declined in the past decade.

In the 1+ year that I've been in platinum, it hasn't been a success. The market just remains comatose. But we'll see :-)

There is so much introspective thinking going on when you do mushrooms...you’re engrossed the next day in thinking about all the things you discovered about yourself and who you are. Whether that makes you a better person or not, I don’t know.
Very very little of enterprise is life or death, and windows is not suitable for life or death.

When enterprise just falls on its face, I don't have much sympathy. "So many more processes" sounds like taking a handful of steps, splitting them up, and making each one require multiple days of memos back and forth. Can you provide any justification for this? Am I misreading?

Any fines would likely go to court many times, before they actually have to be paid. And all those large corporations will show up with a huge mountain of lawyers to try and get around any law that may exist.

Taxing the large companies is difficult, because of individual countries (like Ireland and Netherlands) free-riding to attract investment, while hurting all other EU members. "Tragedy of the Commons" that sort of thing.
Psychedelics (LSD, shrooms) made me a better person.

I agree with everything you’ve said from the consumerism perspective, but there’s something to be said for just... exploring the ‘other’ regardless of upbringing. People from cultures completely detached from capitalism have been altering their experiences with psychedelics forever, and I dare say many of them have come away feeling like better people as a result.
you're painting "drugs" with a broad brush

psychedelics are not like cocaine, despite what the 'gubbmunt' would like you to believe - rather they are like a window into your 'self' - if you think of psychedelics in terms of frequency, you might better understand the tremendous potential they hold with regard to a laundry list of ailments, including depression, PTSD, etc.
> Did they have any indication that Microsoft wasn't taking this seriously? If not, then it sounds like their true motivation is elsewhere.

That doesn't follow. The primary reason to be firm is to ensure that vendors take future issues seriously. Belief that the vendor is serious about a single issue removes only a tiny fraction of the motivation to be firm on deadlines.
That's why I love the "new" AMD.
Maybe I'm just too old-fashioned, but I generally dislike the idea of reversing cameras. I only reverse if I'm completely sure of my surroundings, based on turning back and using my eyes as well as the mirrors. Looking anywhere else tends to feel like a distraction.

> If Microsoft decided that the correct patch cadence was quarterly or annually (because so much QA work goes into a release), does that change what a disclosure deadline should look like?

Absolutely and enthusiastically yes, and for absolutely the reason you wrapped in parens.

When so much software runs on your platform, availability matters (and is a critical component of security, which I feel Google doesn't quite understand for reasons not entirely related to p0). QA-test the hell out of a patch unless there's evidence of 0d or imminent exploitation. Plenty of examples exist where that kind of regression testing was provably necessary, such as this one case:

https://technet.microsoft.com/library/security/MS15-011

I'm happy as hell it wasn't p0 who found that one.
> The purpose of a compression format is not to provide error recovery or integrity verification.

On the contrary. People archive files to save space, exchange files with each other over unreliable networks able to corrupt data, store them in corrupted ram and corrupted disks, even if just temporary. Compression formats are there to help with that, this is their main purpose. This is why fast and proper checksumming is expected, but not cryptographic, like sha256, that adds nothing to this goal but overhead.
