I think his flaws, borne of crippling mental illness as they were, will be largely forgotten in favor of his intelligence, his oddness, the unique nature of TempleOS, and his obvious pain. The phrase, “tortured artist” is thrown around a lot, but he really was a tortured artist. I think it’s natural to be sad st his death, because it’s a sad end to a life thst went awry for reasons beyond his or anyone’s control. I think most people would have wished for a way to help him, but also realized thst was just impossible, even for his nearest and dearest.

In short, a tragedy should be upsetting, especially when at the heart of the tragedy was a bright man with a serious illness.
It's one thing to say such things in private over a beer, or even say something dumb on Twitter, but it's a real escalation to e-mail the person directly, with maps of pre-schools in the area, saying they are going to kill his kids...
The new Apple Notes app does all this beautifully.

Everyone has thought that the world would be better without someone in it, but he didn’t stop there.

This isn’t your average internet “ill kill u noob” death threat.

He emailed Pai with a list of local schools and threatened his children. He said Pai was responsible for children’s suicides and threatened to kill him. He showed clear malice and intent.

You shouldn’t be conflicted about this, what he did was wrong. Even if you hate Pai or net neutrality what he did has tarnished net neutrality advocates as violent nutters.
That's a subtle way of sticking the blame on the other person. This is not about "him". It's about respecting the community and its rules.

I don't think there is a big trend at Google or Facebook or wherever to hire younger and younger people; in fact, if you look at core infrastructure at these companies, it's filled with people with more than an undergraduate degree and lots of experience. Sure, there are the occasional brilliant kids whom you can hire early, but many people benefit from formal, structured schooling.
Yep I’m sure many have had those thoughts. But most haven’t researched Pai’s kids schools and send him a death threat, like this guy did. And he got rightly prosecuted for it.

I say this as someone who hates Pai. The most I could imagine doing is bringing a lawsuit.

It’s about time these kinds of trolls started seeing the consequences of their online actions.
As someone who dropped Evernote several years ago in favor of OneNote, did they ever improve the merging behavior? I gave up on Evernote due to daily merge conflicts that I got tired of manually resolving.
A few weeks ago I got a new laptop and downloaded a new version of Skype. It forced me to use a Microsoft account and I could not use my existing Skype name, which had all my contacts. There was no apparent way to move my contacts. I don't care that much about UI changes, but preventing me from using the account that I have been using for 10+ years is ridiculous.
I think you should take a look at the documentation behind VTA's "Next Network": https://nextnetwork.vta.org/document-library

It is planning that was done to prepare for when BART service reaches Santa Clara county, and how the bus network will need to be reorganized. In the documents, you can see how they looked at different plans, covering different levels of geography vs. population.

> “In the past three months (June, July, August), Evernote has been downloaded 2.5 million times worldwide,” a spokesperson for analytics firm Apptopia said. “After store fees, the app has brought in revenues of $2.9 million through in-app purchases.”

That seems like... not a lot... for a company that has raised $300 million in funding.
As I understand it, some people did. He was living with his parents at one point, and had family support to at least some degree. Mental illness is tough sometimes...it's not always possible to protect an adult with mental illness from themselves (and it's not always safe to welcome an adult with mental illness into one's home or allow them to remain if their mental illness proves dangerous).

There's a lot of discussion we, as citizens in the US, should have about safety nets for people with mental illness, and I think it's clear Terry wasn't getting the help he needed. There are homeless folks in every major city in America who are similarly dealing with mental illness, we just don't hear about them because they aren't brilliant programmers working on such an odd project that it almost demands attention from fellow nerds.

We have no idea what hardships Terry's family dealt with. He was certainly brilliant, but not always kind or calm. I've found him fascinating for years (in a sort of "there but for the grace of god go I" sort of way, as severe mental illness runs in my family), but he could be incredibly hostile and unpredictable (in addition to the overt racism that ran throughout his work and words). He was banned from HN numerous times (someone linked an HN profile of his but he's had several) for his hostility and racism. I'm not saying this to speak ill of the dead here...it just seems awful to blame his surviving family when we know so little about what went on that led to him being homeless. I don't know that they'd ever see it, but it's still kinda shitty to blame someone's family for not doing enough, especially when we don't know anything about them or what they did for Terry.

I would love to hear more commentary on Bostrom. From the parts I've heard (in podcasts - still haven't read the book), it is a lot of talking about technology that is nowhere near where we are today, and thus (to me), a waste of time. But I am open to being convinced otherwise...

> But if it's not as secure as an iPhone, it's unethical to claim otherwise.

Do they, or is it a convenient claim to argue against? (honest question as I'm unsure about what they've claimed compared to iPhone specifically). By using volume and money spent as security metrics, it's quite easy to see why large players would be the best.

For many, I suspect that principles drive some of their security assumptions. Companies that are opaque and do things behind users' backs are always going to appear less trustworthy than those that are open about their software and processes. While that doesn't translate to empirical security, it's enough of a paradigm shift from secretive approaches that I hope that facet alone helps them succeed.
You're right twice. But when I see things on Wikipedia lifted from textbooks published before there was Wikipedia it's not hard to sort out.

As to your second point, I think the combined effect of Wikipedia and Google's popularity-based search ranking is hurting the web. It's not a conspiracy, just a result of the system.
> Tesla is not on the same planet, design and feel wise, as the other carmakers

I completely agree but for a completely different reason: all of Tesla's models have a very long way to go to catch up to the established carmakers, hell look at the latest: the model 3. Even if we ignore the build quality issues that thing's lack of a dashboard is appalling usability-wise.

The company had argued at the time that the rise of stories across social media meant it was something that all social apps would adopt. And because it was the way people were used to interacting now, Skype needed to include the feature in its own app, too.

The SECRET stuff can actually be sent by the USPS. It just has to be packaged correctly, properly labeled, and you have to select the appropriate options for sending it.

I did the courier job briefly when I was working for what was then the Defense Communications Agency, and we were transmitting SECRET documents. I had the hand-carried copy, and they sent a second copy via USPS.

I even had a nifty courier badge, which was created by using a typewriter to fill out a small government form that was printed on orange card stock, and then the whole thing was laminated together. No pictures, no fingerprints, no signatures. The security agents at Washington Regional Airport sure took notice....
3 hours? I think it might be matter of practice. It takes my partner and I about 30-40 mins to cook a full Indian dinner for the two of us from scratch, these days.

Have you shopped around recently for insurance?

I bought this BRZ about 2 1/2 years ago. At the time, I was paying $90/month for an old 2000 Suzuki Esteem for only liability and uninsured motorist with Nationwide insurance. They quoted me $180 to insure my BRZ for full coverage. I decided to shop around and switched to Progressive after they quoted me the $95 for the BRZ with better coverage and lower deductibles.
> you didn't see the comment

Aside: occurrences like this are what amaze me at (a) HN's lack of a built-in system of notifying users when others reply to them, or at least a linear view of all replies; and (b) the resulting reliance that people either discover and use third-party scrapers, or be experts with the F5 key and the Mark-1 eyeball.
Realistically the security research community who find things like phone exploits are very well accustomed to a lack of source code, and in many particular niches of infosec -- it's a baseline assumption for almost all analysis work. Apple's security team is the reason the iPhone is an extremely secure device, not because it's closed source, and not for lack of trying. Go ask people who find major security vulnerabilities -- binaries are rarely a true obstacle, time and mitigations are. (And you'll probably come away surprised at how easily most systems fall to even basic intrusive analysis, no source code needed.)

Source code is merely convenient for the security community in cases like this. But it's hardly a requirement at all, and you can absolutely build a secure system if you design for it.

All that said, I think source code for a device as personal as a phone is largely more of a question of ethics and this is what Purism heavily leans on as an angle for their marketing. I think that's a good angle, independent of any security aspects: owning the code and having the right to it (even if you don't ever touch it) is an important aspect of owning a device as deeply personal as a phone. People like us who believe that should totally advocate for it -- I think it's a fairly simple case to make. But it really has little to do with _security_ on its nose, if you ask me.

(Also, if your government mandates backdoors, they will not be thwarted so easily by simply recompiling AOSP or whatever and loading a new ROM, if they do not wish to be. Any belief to the contrary is a fairy tale that people like us enjoy telling themselves. But I'll give you a hint: writing a Makefile cannot get you out of jail, and you are not that good at covering your tracks.)
Unfortunately it gives them the legal capability to require your startup/IT company/multinational to put development time in at their request to enable your software to give them the access they want.

For example-

get chats in real time

log IP addresses and pass them to gov

open containers stored on your infrastructure

get into the phone or device you have sold to a client previously

These are not interpretations of the legislation- these are the use cases they wrote it to solve.

As ex LEO I get it but the burden on organisations is going to bad for business, not to mention the insecure solutions that are going to get drummed up/coded on the fly to comply with these requests- security nightmare.

There is some reasonable paranoia that this might be a Trojan to enable access in the US. Can't pass legislation in the US? Easy, get your vassal state (AU) to pass it, then ask them to investigate your target and then force people to comply with your vassals state's request.

"yeh I know you can't do that in Texas but you can in Western Australia and we, the US, has a treaty with Australia so you're just going to hand over that data. We'll deliver it to the Aussies for you"

I may be paranoid, but I'm not the only one seeing this angle on it.

Big conspiracies- count me out. Gov is lazy and disorganised. Little conspiracies between gov-buddies ? Absolutely.
Go does not have subtyping. Its type system is sufficiently rudimentary that steering it towards ML would just be just too extreme at this point.
Even then, FPGAs are now pretty inexpensive at scale. Open up your favorite $5000 oscilloscope and it will probably have a proprietary ASIC. Open up your favorite $400 oscilloscope and it just has an off-the-shelf FPGA. Mine even runs Linux, apparently.

(As an aside, I broke my $400 'scope about a month after purchasing it. One of the rotary encoders just stopped turning and is now jammed and it would be quite the undertaking to repair it. I learned my lesson.)
I agree with you. I'd like it to be part of the monthly posts.
> The government has been quick to claim that this is not a back door, and the bill prohibits requests to companies to create “systemic” weaknesses.

Claiming that you're not backdooring something doesn't stop it from being a backdoor.
Once you get it to install at least.

Seriously. Installing open shift has been the most frustrating exercise in my life.

I ended up finding rancher, and even though their 2.0 version is pretty much beta at the moment the installation is so much more painless than open shift.

When you are talking about small ones like this a common reason I don't see mentioned here is peripheral flexibility. A processor is going to come with a fixed set of peripherals what happens if you need 10 UARTs but the processor only has 3? An FPGA can solve that problem.

I've got plenty of family with severe mental illness. Some of them have died from it. More will.

The unfortunate reality is that we haven't yet figured out how to really help these people. There are no perfect solutions. There aren't even really any good ones. Even for a family member who's motivated to help, and who's spent a lot of time and effort understanding these illnesses, there's very little that can be done.

For the most severe illnesses, the drugs that are available are still too primitive to ease the symptoms without bringing other side effects that many people have trouble accepting. Some classes of illness work so that while taking the medication, the person doesn't believe they need it, and without taking it, they're incapable of making the decision to start taking it. Keeping those people medicated is difficult, at best.

For anyone suffering with less severe forms of mental illness, I'd strongly encourage you to try out different doctors and medications until you find something that works for you. Many illnesses seem to progress with age, and the people who are treated early in life have much better chances of living happier, healthier, longer lives.

There are no easy answers, but I think that early treatment and de-stigmatization of mental illness probably offers our best chances of real progress.
Perhaps we will quit criminalizing the poor. My hopes aren't too high though.
Probably not the using the Advanced Protection Program, though. It would have made the accounts much harder to break into since you need a physical key to log in to the account.

Ok, I don't think you understand how ads work. Your clicks don't make a website money if they are not selling ads in your country. The New York Times is not a startup so your point is irrelevant.

edit: if you are not aware that different countries have different ads markets your probably shouldn't have an opinion on GDPR.

Yeah, there's no accounting for glaring cluelessness. Leaving S3 buckets open to the world, and totally unencrypted, for example. Downloading and running *.exe email attachments, destroying systems with ransomware, and so on.

Encryption can be its own foot gun. It can aid attackers, by totally destroying evidence that might exonerate you from being framed for other crimes. It can cost people dearly, in terms of lost data. Consider how many people have lost old bitcoin wallets, containing small fortunes, and similar tails of woe.

But look at how that plays out. A dropped bitcoin wallet, gone forever. The failure mode of something like that is often a better look than things going the other way. Imagine that same bitcoin wallet getting stolen, and seeing the thief profit from it. Sort of like watching elections get stolen, no?

So, think about that, the next time you warn someone against forcing you to exchange PGP keys, in order to communicate more securely.

The United Kingdom appears to be the only country where legal counsel is provided by the government’s legal aid agency free of charge to all migrants in detention.

Also remember that (like most of these countries) the US does have legal aid services available for this purpose in various cases.

> They just separated them from their parents, and expect a toddler in a detention center to somehow shit out an attorney.

How does anyone find an attorney? For young people their parent or guardian would typically do it.

In the cases where they were separated from their parents (a stupid, short-lived policy that has been discontinued) the attorneys were often finding them.

> Meanwhile the government is represented by an attorney.

What would you propose they be represented by?

> Can you even sue a toddler? Like, you can sue the parents sure, but can you think of another situation civil or criminal that has a toddler representing themselves?

Why not? Typically there is no reason to because they typically have no assets and are not legally responsible for many of their actions. But suppose you have a toddler who is the legal owner of some inherited property where someone is injured.

In practice they would have a parent or guardian deal with it (or hire an attorney), but that's also normally what happens with immigration.

And the people who can't afford an attorney get shafted. But that's par for the course. Even in criminal cases the time and resources available to the public defender are totally inadequate.

Personally, I went to Uni and majored physics specifically because of my love for the subject and a desire to learn more. I minored in CS so I could learn to program, and worked a few Web dev jobs after graduating. I also developed a real passion for topics like programming language theory, type theory, mathematical concept formation, etc. and have since managed to get a position as a research student to work in that field.

A useful example project would be an FFT or OFDM accelerator for a microcontroller. Most microcontrollers really struggle with FFT so it is an example where a small uC and a small FPGA can be cheaper than a large uC. Sliding window FFT is going to be another good example where the FPGA option is competitive.
The Advanced Protection program requires a U2F security key. Safari doesn't support it.
