Update: as far as I can tell (qualcomm datasheets are annoyingly hard to come by), everything was still over PCIe as of early last year. Their modems are getting faster, not slower, so I would be surprised to see this change to USB.

PCIe would give the baseband full access to main memory unless the mmu is set up correctly (there's lots of evidence that phone manufacturers have been lazy about this), and also assuming that the mmu based protection actually works correctly, which is next to impossible to verify.
Yes it always shows up as 7-Eleven for me too, I use an Android phone if that makes a difference.

I do agree with your assessment (although it's more complicated than that).

Historically, rights holders (RH) used to have the upper hand, then the Internet came and took their reign down while giving upper hand to DSPs. Now RHs are trying to tip the scale back where it was.

Neither is a good situation. I definitely do not know what the right solution is, but nor the status quo nor the proposal is any good.

My radical view on this is to try to come up with some kind of compulsory license similar to the one that exists in music in US [0] for all content. The rates could be set up by panel of judges (similarly to US) or put in place arbitrary at lets say 50%.

This way, if creator produces content and decides to distribute it, she can't prevent a platform (DSP) from distributing it, however DSP can't avoid a payment.

Obviously this is a gross simplification, but I'm not seeing many ways out of this mess.

The article mentions they will use NXP's i.MX 8M which has 4 ARM A53's [0]. That would make it similar to Qualcomm's Snapdragon 410 as far as having 4x A53's, but the process and clock speeds could be different.

> We went with Redpine Signal as their chipset does not require a firmware download at runtime like other vendors; having a downloadable firmware would violate the Free Software Foundation’s RYF requirements.

This really does not resonate with me. In most of these chips there is a functional or partially functional firmware in ROM, then the OS applies a RAM patch to provide full functionality or address functional or security issues. I'm not sure how I would be more free or secure if Broadcom or Intel placed the full firmware in the ROM and never updated it, than if the continued to supply updated firmware blobs.

The firmware for these devices historically is riddled with security issues, just recently this CVE affected most of the Intel AC WiFi cards [1]

Also Redpine supports firmware blob updates with some versions of their hardware, so I'm not sure if they are just playing word games here by saying it will WORK without extra blobs, but then expect everyone will really still use the blobs to stay up-to-date. [2]

On a recent family trip a few miles from our destination, all my vehicle's dash controls went out, then reappeared with a charging system error indicator.

Everything seemed fine - I watched battery gauge and hoped I'd make it. When I got to the destination, I stopped and restarted the engine, and everything looked fine, and the charging system indicator went back to normal.

I noticed afterward that the "Engine Hours", which had been getting close to 10,000, was now in single digits. No other internal counters were reset.

I wondered if it was an overflow condition, but it appears more mundane - many vehicle owners report seemingly random resets. The surprising thing seems to be that it hadn't reset before getting close to 10,000 hours!
Robert Schoch has some things to say about this too, and seems to back it up.

A bit of a stretch in this article but interesting.
The article mentions that Australia has no bill of rights which, whilst technically true, doesn't mean we don't have equivalent protections. Some are enshrined in our constitution whilst others are parts of common law and other legislation.

The conclusion they draw from that is right however; a lot of laws can be introduced to our parliament that might not get off the ground elsewhere. It's why we've fervently fought against many other, similar laws that would impinge on our rights and freedoms in the past. I spent a good part of my youth fighting against the Clean Feed legislation (it was a great big Internet filter for Australia, a terrible idea) which was thankfully defeated before it got off the ground.

We'll have to do the same for this.
I seem to remember Podesta, whose email was leaked, was already using GMail, either because the campaign used it, or he was using a personal account. Activating 2-factor auth would probably have stopped the attack.

It also bears repeating that the leaked emails contained nothing illegal or even immoral beyond a few peeks of how the sausage is made that were only outrageous for people looking for a reason to be outraged. This discussion sometimes gets dangerously close to victim blaming.
You don't need open software of any kind to verify it.

I can see how for some this might be necessary for sure, but for me I don't use much more than termux, browsing and texting. To me I hope they rely on porting Linux apps and getting the most of that, because I know how much time has been poured into that whole infrastructure. And then if this catches on, it would hopefully fuel the open source community to keep advancing this technology, so that even if purism is gone, someone else can come and pick up where they left off.

I'm just saying, it would be a huge advancement for the Linux desktop to fit Linux desktop apps in a mobile context. (And a huge step for reactive design, if done well)
I think that's because email, fundamentally just isn't very secure.

Lots of email servers support fallback to non-encrypted, plaintext transmission, which can expose entire chains of replies to MITM attacks with a single message being routed questionably. [0,1,2] End-to-end encryption, via user-defined keys is actively discouraged by those who might assuredly know better, and be in a position to change minds. Usually, the cop out comes in the form of "too complicated for non-technical/less-technical users, and thus potentially harmful to profits."

As if to say, we've been espousing the use of an insecure method of communication for decades, so, to suddenly reverse our position, and encourage bring-your-own-encryption might provoke discussions of liability, or something. Nevermind, the premise of ad tech and scanning user messages, to sell data.

But you know, running your own server, and hiring people who can't be bothered to go deeper than using word art in MS PowerPoint slides, well, hey. Bring a horse to water... know what I'm saying?

PGP is easy to use. At this point, I'd like to think people are fatigued enough by the bottomless pit of nightmares we've fallen into, that they'd step up and tell people: yes, people are using SSH keys and SSL keys billions of times a day. It's okay to use PGP on your email. Go ahead, start doing it.

Or, you know, whatever. Lose another election. Right?

It seems like there's some confusion here with regard to auto insurance, warranties, and regular maintenance.

As far as I'm aware warranties only cover faulty / defective parts (and labour to replace), insurance is intended as accident cover, everything else is regular maintenance.

Ah, you're right. I flipped BCE/CE on when the Masoretes existed.

I totally agree. I followed a couple tutorials on how to make a LED blink but it doesn't really provide much substance. The other popular tutorial is a NTSC/PAL decoder that usually goes way over my head...I'm hoping with all these affordable FPGA, there will be boom like the early 2010s boom of Arduino!
We detached this hellish subthread from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17913084 and marked it off-topic. (Edit to be clear: it wasn't that this root comment was so bad, but that it inevitably led to the same flamewar that has raged many times over the years on HN, which causes people to break HN's rules badly.)

All: continuing this flamewar will get your account banned. Find some other place to do it, or get your fix by searching for the countless previous times people got nasty and abused each other about this exact issue.

Curious why Google requires their users to use Chrome or Firefox but can't use Safari to access Google Services when enrolled in that program? "And you will only be able to use Chrome and Firefox to access your signed-in Google services like Gmail or Photos."

I'm not entirely sure why this is upsetting me so much

There may be some element of feeling guilty because he was shadow banned here. It seems to be a common pattern that people who didn't know how to help when the person was alive feel some kind of responsibility for the death, like he might have lived if only we could have figured out how to engage him more effectively or something.

Individual outcomes are never entirely individual. There are always a great many factors involved and that makes it complicated to figure out who is responsible for what and how much.

I didn't really know him. But it's nice to see some of the remarks here. I sometimes am very angry when I see nice comments about a dead person who was excluded in life. But I don't have any idea how it could have been handled differently in this case.

Some things are simply tragic.
No. I disagree with the notion that copyright is a desirable approach to any problem in this discussion (the economics of anti-rival goods and its producing)

But for the record I don’t believe there is a good answer to your question that spans the entire domain of activities currently covered by copyright. And equally copyright doesn’t have much of role in generating revenue for most of it.

I should add that I also believe there is a large domain of desirable activities outside content creation that suffers in similar ways from our desire to fit everything into our current economic models.

As an illustration, when invited to dinner you might bring a bottle of wine, which is usually appreciated. Yet if you instead brought money of an equal amount as the cost of the bottle the host would probably be offended, and increasing the amount of money would probably do little to alleviate that.

There’s a quality in the effort of buying a bottle of wine here that doesnt fit into a purely economic model of the work performed. Yet you still need time and money to perform it, so limited resources do play a role.

In a similar vein there are lots of activities that requires time and money. Raising a child could be an example. Where the cost is easy to fit into the model, but the value and motivations are qualitively outside the realm of economics.

I think we simply need to recognize that these values are some times public goods, and the costs needs to be covered by other means than direct free market transactions.

Personally I believe that a basic income could be a part of this discussion.

Given that any road could be a rail, any arguments about how everyone could have a road near them could presumably be met with the idea of having a rail near them.

as cars are bigger than the chargers there could be chargers for multiple competing charging standards at the space for one car. If only one charger can be used at a time anyway since only one car can occupy the charging space at a time, then both chargers can share the electric power feed and the overall power delivery to the supercharging station can stay the same despite having double the number of chargers charging the same number of cars.

I don't really expect the U.S. military to take humans out of the loop any time soon. But the tech industry doesn't seem to be very good at keeping secrets. And IED's and car bombs are already a thing, right?

I wonder if the reaction to the hacking would have been different if dirt was found. A greater good argument might have prevailed even though it was a crime, like it the public generally has sympathy for Snowden. Breaking in and finding nothing just looks bad from top to bottom though for the hackers and those associated.
I cannot read that article in Firefox. Ironic
At least thinking about it is important NOW, regardless of what stage your startup is. It can be extremely difficult to try to slot a 3rd party A/B testing solution into your product (or really hard to roll your own) if your infra doesn't support it from the start. Also, hire a data scientist!
(Disclaimers: I am not a data scientist, I just think everyone needs one! I have worked on an experimentation system at $BIG_COMPANY.)

I'd suggest thinking about the following BEFORE YOU RUN A SINGLE A/B TEST:

1) Key Metrics: Define these. They are the general, "I don't care what your experiment is about, these numbers are important." Every experiment you run should automatically track these metrics. You should also give the ability to define custom metrics, since an experiment that changes some random button color probably wants to look at how many people clicked the button, which is almost definitely NOT a key metric.

2) Logging Infrastructure: Make sure that you have a easy-to-use, reliable data pipeline set up for logging and processing events. Bad logging == bad experiment results. Also consider streaming vs batch processing for updating experiment results.

3) Population Management: How do your experiments segment users? Are variants calculated in realtime? Batched with some SLA for lag? Are they sticky?

4) Mutual Exclusion: People running experiments often want "their" users excluded from other experiments.

5) Guardrails: Do your experiments automatically shut off if there is a catastrophic decline in one or more key metrics? What safety measures do you have around determining if an experiment is safe/valid? How do you handle cleaning up data when there's a problem? What sorts of actions invalidate an experiement's existing results? Does your entire site break if your A/B Testing service is down for whatever reason?

6) Cleanup/Ownership: Experiments don't run forever (at least they shouldn't!). Cleaning up old features, populations, etc can a pain, especially when the people that wrote the stuff originally no longer work at the company. Make cleanup mandatory and as easy as possible.

There's a lot more, but I'm tired now. A/B testing is complex. There are lots of resources out there, though. Look for white papers on the subject, they're surprisingly approachable. Example from Microsoft: https://exp-platform.com/Documents/2017-08%20KDDMetricInterp...

First, I'm really sorry about your mother. That is a heavy fate, for both of you. And I see that you have deep reasons for having strong feelings on both sides of this question.

In case it helps, the flags and moderation are not because you're outnumbered or because HN is full of racists or racist sympathizers. It's because this is a flamewar topic that rages in the same way every time it comes up and for some reason leads people into behaving extremely badly. This site has rules: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html, and they are the way they are for good reason.

And it's because no matter how one feels or how right one is, it's impossible to have a principled discussion about racism in the context of a comic book feud about a schizophrenic homeless man whom people on the internet have been treating as their personal mascot for many years. The only sensible reaction to that is nausea and—if you're responsible for this site, as I am—shame.

> Those institutions are other humans.

They are made of humans, but not equivalent to humans.

It's like saying the problem is a failure of neurons. There's nothing in a single neuron that will let you fix this problem. Likewise, I don't think looking in the head of a single human will fix it. It's the organizations that the humans built and they way they interact in them that causes the problems. It's an emergent phenomenon of the aggregation.
I developed for a long time exclusively on the Mac because I wanted a unix backend with a good user interface and hardware that "just worked".

Recently though I've moved away from OS X and back to Linux on the desktop. The experience is much rockier in general and requires much more setup/customization but in the end I feel that the developer experience is better. There's a broader selection of tools and better native support for things like Docker.

High Sierra was the straw that broke the camel's back for me. I was having a lot of weird issues and general slowness.
