40 bit only stayed on the market because of US export control. It is convenient to not have to know arbitrary details about your customers, not have to NDA all your docs, and not risk fines and an inability to export your product.
Indeed, it is! And I find that it's much better than tmux performance-wise.

Wait... what? Do you always structure your arguments by putting words in other people's mouths then argue against things they never said. In doing so you're wasting your's and everyone else's time.

Not only are you wrong in you assertion. If you'd paid even the smallest amount of attention to the context in which you're posting you'd realise this. I'm the OP for this sub-thread, I suggest you read what I wrote.

Now that we've got that aside...

Just stop.

We're talking about the Assistance and Access Bill. Stop trying to validate some totally unrelated belief you hold by loosely latching on to valid arguments that myself and others have made here. The reason I responded to you is that I want to make it perfectly clear to anybody reading this...

I do not hold your views. These are not related issues.
This is interesting as a lot of initial speculation for this attack focused on the large amount of 3rd party JS being loaded into the BA payment pages as a likely source of compromise.

Instead this looks like a fairly well executed "traditional" attack on BAs CMS/Web server infrastructure.

It's a good example of why even front-end infrastructure components need good protection...

But what was the alternative to the bailouts?

The bailouts, but engaging with the narrative of a rigged game and applying substantial and highly visible reforms to prevent another financial crisis.

I mean, when your ship hits rocks you gotta patch the holes so you don't drown - but then you also gotta stop the captain navigating you into rocks. We did an OK job at the first, but did practically nothing about the second.

You keep telling yourself that while tons of engineers, doctors, and scientists keeps leaving to the states or Canada.

It's easy being happy about the taxation regime when you do 35 hours a week. It's not uncommon for a doctor to do closer to 60h and up to 70h.

And quality of life isn't even that great. Crumbling infrastructure, long wait for public hospitals, dirty streets etc.

> e.g. use a small database, rather than the entire US passport photo database plus photos of visiting foreigners

Doing so would be wildly inefficient. You need your passport to check in for your flight. When boarding the plane, you don't need to check someone's face against the entire passport database, only against the passports which have been checked into the flight, which is particularly important in terminals with shared domestic/international departures where entry is possible without a passport and the passport can be transferred to somebody after check-in.

But the main reason why it's anyway infeasible is because flights are rarely full of people of a single nationality; scanning peoples' faces against a wide-ranging passport photo database effectively means scanning their faces against some kind of global database of the faces of everybody from around the world. Assembling a database like that, apart from the ethical issues, is politically infeasible.

Remember - this system doesn't advocate for people to not need their passports at all when traveling. They still need them - just not after check-in. The question is whether the system is more or less accurate than a human being at matching passport photos to faces, and based on what we know about racial bias, the answer to that is probably that facial recognition is more accurate by now.
Great, already read it :)

Depends what proportion of them are kept content with mediocre food, shelter, and a slimmer of hope that their kids can move up in the game. And as long as the security guards (military and police) are kept happy and well equipped, then a small number of them should be able to keep the rest in line.

Debt is the smart way to keep them in the hamster wheel.

There are Java Android and ObjC iOS bindings available in the repository.
Not sure how those would work in a regular JRE or ObjC macOS environment, but it should be alright (but then, you might as well use the C++ API directly on macOS, just saying).
But what if your Big Bang was only a local bang among an infinite number of bangs so far apart from one another that the light from any of them would take 100s of billions of your earth years to reach its nearest neighbor. Then, even now, they are all expanding toward each other with no way for any of their passengers to know it. You won't need to worry about a heat death or a cold death, you will have a death by collision and probably some kind of rebirth to follow.
Also, at mqtt.fluux.io you can test one of the few first public brokers that supports MQTT 5.0 spec - there are instructions using Mosquitto in the announcement.
The takeaway I got from reading the article to the end does not match the impression given by the headline, though the headline isn't exactly wrong, per se. The conclusion given is that the mechanisms put in place to avoid another recession work just fine but that the political will to use them has been dried up by the political retrenchment of the right.

That said, if you're at all curious, you should read the article, if not the book it's summarizing, because it's really really good. One thing that had escaped me was the fact that America's bailout of its own banks and QE were both drops in the bucket compared to the massive amount of liquidity the Fed injected into the global financial system, all of which was paid back just like the bailouts.

On a personal level, this allays my fears of another recession. The Anglosphere will wake up one day as if it was dreaming, and the political upwelling that put Trump into office will fade back down into insignificance. Another recession at this stage will only accelerate that process, provide some juicy real estate opportunities to those positioned well enough to take advantage, and we'll be back to normal within a few years to a decade. I strongly suspect that Trump won't stand in the way of another global firefighting operation conducted by the Fed should it become necessary, he's way too cynical to not do something that works.

We should avoid 'othering' the alt-right if we can. These are Americans like you and me, as scared and uncertain as all of us, momentarily in the spotlight and proud of it, but ultimately decent human beings just like the rest of us.
Chemicals and Materials
Because they are beginning to move faster than c, when these objects are at the very edge, due to the space between us and the edge expanding faster than c. This is called the cosmic horizon of the universe - sort of like an inside out event horizon of a black hole. A particle inside the horizon with a speed of c can still reach us (albeit very strongly redshifted), a particle outside the horizon would have to travel faster than c to reach us. The thing is, our own universe is still not old enough, that it can have a proper event horizon. It is estimeted, according to a model that assumes dark energy is a cosmological constant, that the universe must be at least 16GY old for a cosmic horizon to develop.

Oh, and by the way, an expansion faster than the speed of light is consistent with relativity. Special relativity only describes local laws of physics -- you and the edge are not "local". And general relativity doesn't have a constraint on a maximum velocity between 2 arbitrary points in spacetime.
But people have similar faces called eigen faces in Mathematics. This is not Secure because faces are not unique. Similar to finding a similar to you looking face on the street/internet. Humans have an average faces and then diverge from that.

if you are referring to the budget debt of the US government then a simple cap limiting expenses to less than inflation would in a decade result in a positive balances. however Congress changed their accounting rules decades ago and neither party is interested in fiscal responsibility while the other is in office.

the only real fix is getting out of the tyranny of a two party system, however each new finance reform bill does its best to prevent that possibility under the guise of protecting democracy from outside influence
Nowadays it broadly means using C++ programming, involving dealing with different levels of system calls.
Agreed, by delaying crashes, the problems pile up and they compound.
You're not allowing the population to update their skills and targets to meet real economic needs because reality has been distorted by the bailouts.
For example, maybe one reason for the crash is that the economy couldn't support so many people working in finance. Because of the bailouts however, it's now probably more lucrative than ever to work in finance; so we probably have even more people working in finance today than in 2008.
People who are succeeding in business today don't actually know how to fulfil real economic needs. They only know how to fulfil artificial economic needs in this make-believe economy that the Fed has created.
It's a transistor switching on single photons. It's not even light. Why not use proper terms instead of marketing mumbo-jumbo? What audience is it adressed to?

I like the idea that a single photon is enough to make a transistor switch currents, but I don't like the idea that people read "quantum light and quantum transistors" instead. You are clearly missing the point. It's hard to form a genuine opinion on ingenuine dumb shit like that in that article.
Is this the holy grail of IoT infrastructure or is everyone just using WebRTC nowadays?
> out of the hands of the programmer

see, and that's where these languages become really clunky for HPC purposes. A compiler/runtime with HPC support (and I think also systems programming) should provide (a) performant defaults with safety as a second (but still high) priority and (b) the ability for programmers to go and set things a certain way when it is clear to them how things should be implemented on the machine.

Otherwise, in large applications, there's just too many moving parts that the compiler (optimization) can mess up. As long as we have no AGI baked into compilers it's an illusion to think that compilers will do the job of HPC engineers, so if you take away these tools we just have to look elsewhere.
> Note that the bailout money wasn't simply gifted with no strings, it was leant and paid back with a profit to the tax payer.

I can't comment if this is true in America but in the UK we've been selling off bailed out assets at a loss. Sales seem to be timed for political points not to maximize profit.

Why do you think lawyers, accountants etc in the corporate world get paid so much? Do you remember the U.S president saying avoiding federal taxes makes him smart?

Yes, I was going to say, OP, after 10 or 20 years you won't feel like that. I've heard a variety of people say they feel this after moving into a new field, usually impressive people. I guess it's the other extreme from the Dunning-Kruger effect. Asking around is a good idea, you'll learn how common that is. People put a lot of effort into looking more skilled, confident, competent, secure, intelligent, etc than they are. Good luck.
How many tragedies have been enabled by suicidal pilots + the locked doors? I know of at least one case in the Alps and pretty sure there was another in India recently enough?

I'm not sure they come out that far ahead really, though obviously the incidents they were designed to counter are bigger and more headline grabbing.
I'm with you on decent alternatives of which I think a non-Fed based monetary system as well as the end of crony capitalism (not capitalism itself) would probably be a decent alternative.

However, the biggest problem is the education of the wider public and garnering the democratic will of the people to make necessary changes.

Economics, for all its show of being empirical is really just politics, and politics is really just philosophy.

In the daily struggle, hustle and bustle of life, few have the time and desire to learn these subjects, let alone pay the price to apply themselves politically to make the necessary changes.

Are you willing to?

I'm not... at least for now, willing to do anything. Charity starts at home and before I contemplate doing anything political I must ensure my family is well off.

However if you are willing, and able to do something, I strongly encourage you to.
Android does not, use at your own peril as it is not part of the official APIs and will get your app terminated if you use unauthorized APIs.

Using libc is not the same as POSIX.

https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2016/06/android-ch...

As for macOS, and iOS, if Apple removed POSIX how many apps written in Objective-C and Swift (not UNIX cli tools ported from Linux) would actually be affected?

Very few, because those written in C and C++ ported from other platforms are most likely making use of ANSI C and C++ standards.
Yeah, I work in Gherkin area of London, many insurance companies there. The actuarial types I overhear at the coffee-shops are earning around 3x my software dev salary.
I suspect this is very much dependent on the country.

My bachelor was in stats & actuarial sciences (though I never worked in the field), and in my country there's a big shortage of qualified actuaries. So the average salaries are pretty high and it's a safe and stable work (albeit dreadfully boring, which is why I never went into the field)
I don't think I agree with the article. Not from a European perspective. I'm Danish and we've had anti-establishment parties all my life on both the left and right side of the political spectrum. The populist rightwingers most similar to Trump and the teaparty saw their dawn in 1998 where they got elected with 7.4% of the votes. In 2001, three months after 9/11, they recived 12%. In 2005 it was 13.3%. In 2007, before the financial crisis they got 13.9%. In 2011 they got 12.3% and then in 2015 they got their current 21.1%.

If you look at the data, our right wing populist party saw a small decline following the financial crisis. They saw two major increases, one following 9/11 and one at the height of the European migration crisis but at this point our economy had fully recovered.

I think it's some what like this around much of Europe. Back in 2001 we got critiqued by the European Council because we elected a racist party to government, but Austria recieved much sterner critique at the same time. In Eastern Europe the local economies have seen huge increases along with right-wing populism. Greece, who took the worst of the financial crisis, turned to the intellectual left, not populism.

I think the article is probably on point about America. The tea-party saw it's dawn in the years following the financial crisis. You had the occupy movement and now you have the alt-right. We didn't really see similar movements in Europe though. I guess we do today, and I think we're unfortunately receiving a lot of bad influence from America. I mean, I can go on the Danish subreddit right now and see people complain about the MSM. Which makes no sense, because our media-landscape is completely different from the American. On facebook we have anti-vaxxer and flathearter groups, mostly using sources like infowars or breitbart because we simply don't have nonsense-media equivalents in my country. At least not yet.

So I guess, in a way the article isn't wrong, but all the nonsense is happening in an economy that's mostly better than before 2007.
Well the photon is the quantum of light. I don’t think you’d say ‘quantized computer’, you’d probably say quantum computer, as in relating to quanta.
They say they have done it for performance. I am wondering if they wanted to optimize for the client performance or the SFU's.

In my experience some airports check but most do not. At least Arlanda, Brussels, Chopin and Vienna did not check when I last was there.
Genuine question... Why the scare quotes around the word "found"? I'm assuming "hacked fliers" refers to the people who had their details stolen. So how exactly did they "find" the "suspect code"?

English is my first language, but I'm really struggling to grok this headline.

OP is not negating the problem. However, the title implies that the existing database has been breached, which is not true. Author could have given a better title which implies that ghost entries could be added and existing data has not been compromised.

Getting a Comodo cert like as the attackers did is extremely non-trivial (at least for the first time). It took me upwards of 4 weeks plus a trip to an actuary and multiple calls with my CPA.
I haven't a clue about the whether the bailouts were important or not. What I feel like I would have liked is for the bailouts to happen AND the top 20 to 100 people from every financial institution to have gone to prison for at least 10 years. The president of Goldman Sachs, the president (or ex-President) of Lehman, etc... etc...

What it seems like from the outside is they screwed the world over and completely got away with it on our dime.

I don't know if my impression is right or what would convince me the fact that there seemed to be no repercussions for their actions is somehow the right thing. Just saying that's how it seems.

I don't believe for a second those people were irreplaceable as some have suggested. People are replaced at giant companies all the time and the companies keep on functioning. If we need one example Steve Jobs death certainly shows that. Could pick any other CEO that left or was shoved out or past away.
To my (amateur) understanding, that's what they did in Switzerland and it turned out pretty well for the national bank.

Personally I also made some smallish stock investments during that time. I only regret that I didn't invest just a little more... the profit is/was huge.
I'd be impressed if they could find an algorithm to determine the dankness of a meme.
that is not an argument for centralized vs decentralized, that's an argument for client-server vs peer2peer

Not many selfhosted (eg decentralized) solutions use peer2peer because this requires NAT punching and other methods. TS3, Mumble and Ventrilo are all "proxies" in that manner and not peer to peer
