I personally have at least one Truecrypt volume whose password I've forgotten.

It contains a year or so's worth of journal entries, so I keep it around in case inspiration strikes, but so far I've had no luck opening it.

Were I investigated for a crime, it's not implausible that the police might take my hard drive and come back saying something like "here's a list of encrypted volumes we found, open them", and in at least that one case, I simply cannot.
That analogy does not work. The discussion is about regulating those who can exploit the lack of expertise. Whether or not you have expertise is orthogonal.

To stay with the example, in a world where few people can read but dealing with knowledge written in books is essential for many, it would make sense to regulate lecturers.
Completely agree. When I had to move to a different country to study, I did not know even how to brew tea (cooking never interested me), let alone cooking a decent meal. However, the craving for the food from my home country (which wasn't readily available near my campus) coupled with the financial constraint of not being able to eat outside for every meal (if you want good quality food that is) forced me to learn cooking. It started with simple things at first but now (more than a decade later) it is one of my hobbies and I find it meditative almost.

If you are forced to do it, you will do it. Besides, regarding the learning curve, it feels similar to going to the gym for the first time in your life. Initially you will see a lot of newbie gains (never knew I could make eatable food) which later plateau unless you want to reach the next level.
A single book takes way longer to finish than a single movie. You can also go to your library or Redbox to get a movie.
Is the hard drive encrypted? If not, just take it out and... You're done.
I'm intrigued. What do you need to in order to write your article?
From this article I followed some links to this guy's other articles, and his ideas around "big" vs "small" computing really resonate with me. Apparently he wrote a book on the subject.

AIUI, the GDPR by itself doesn't apply to the UK (or any other EU member state in particular). Instead, the GDPR forces member states to enact laws that implement those rules.

This means that, after Brexit, the GDPR implementation laws will still be law in the UK. Depending on the outcome of the Brexit negotiations, the UK might or might not be in a position to repeal those laws at their own discretion.
^ Exactly. I have an app on my phone from my insurance company that tracks my every move. I'm fine with it, because their agreement for it's use specifically says that data is not sold to third parties, nor used in any purpose beyond specifically evaluating my driving. And apparently I'm a pretty safe driver because they give me a fair amount of cash back on it.

I would never in a million years let a company like Google or Facebook have that kind of info on me.
> Well, not if you're physically located in in the U.S. at the tome, but the GDPR effects non-EU businesses and governments as long as the person involved is an EU citizen.

In what court would you bring a case against the United States under the GDPR?

You're both half right. Napoleon reinstated slavery only in places that had refused to stop and just kept doing it after it was outlawed (i.e. the colonies). Slavery stayed banned in the Metropole.

The problem in my mind comes in when you look at what type of systemic abuse you enable by throwing "common sense" out the window.

Suddenly, every chunk of 0's and 1's in the hands of an unscrupulous/ambitious/pressured prosecutor becomes a ticket to indefinite incarceration.

For every criminal this practice may help collar, I see too much potential for and utility as a form of political and civic suppression. Someone being problematic? Have the geek find evidence of what might be an encrypted volume and order the problematic person to supply the keys to open it. Presto. Enjoy your time in the Klink.

You can't let such harmful precedents stand. Heck, who is to say someone doesn't just write a worm to create small encrypted caches on everyone's machine? Does that then put everyone in a Spartacus situation?

This is dangerous ground in which the courts are treading, and no less than 2 Constitutionally defined rights are in conflict.

Personally, I prefer a system with maximum difficulty with regards to the cessation of Rights. A government empowered to ignore your Rights is well on the road to hell. There is a balance somewhere, but I am at a loss as to where it is at the moment. Where ever it is though, it isn't on indefinite cessation of freedoms just because the State has a hunch there might be something relevant they can't read.
If Brexit ever happens... so many contradictions in what folks think about it / want from it and what it is / what deal anyone can actually make.

If you have two adjacent chunks, collapsing one will impose constraints on the other one. Even if the RNG part is deterministic, as you suggested, the result will be different depending on which chunk you collapse first.

It's exactly that, yes.

I live not too far from a very good couscous restaurant, and the tradition among the maghrebi matriarchs is to come to get takeaway with their own pots.

That's not how it actually works. Customers flip back and forth between Uber and competing services based on cost and availability. There's literally zero switching cost and no customer loyalty.
The self-driving cars may be available to give rides 24/7, but if 90% of the demand is 0800-0900 and 1600-0200, they may end up sitting idle for twelve hours each day anyway.

You probably need over 100x the vehicles at 5pm as you do at 4am. You have to find a balance of how much CapEx is worthwhile -- probably more than you need to cover the 4am shift, but far less than needed for the 5pm shift.
the key word is General Data Protection Regulation. Regulations are law, and apply directly, no local implementation needed (except for "interfaces", e.g. in the case of GDPR changes to existing laws to clarify how they interact with GDPR and to make exceptions GDPR explicitly allows the states to make)

Directives are the ones that only direct the states to enact laws implementing them.

Why do you think it's bizarre? It's also true. The whole reason Silicon Valley is the center of the entrepreneurial and tech universe is because it's the place that best merges technical talent with access to capital.

>Secondly (and more specific to Harley), the used motorcycle market is HUGE.

Kind of sucks if this is really hurting the company.

Companies that design things that last should be somehow rewarded. This is important and needs to be figured out. Otherwise we will drown in garbage that self-destructs after warranty expiration or things that are deliberately un-repairable.

Planned obsolescence is not as "smart" as some people make it out to be. It wastes natural resources, contributes to pollution, makes things less reliable and removes incentives to produce real innovation in the future.

Edit:

There is another post here that points out that Harleys might not be particularly reliable: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18450005

Definitely worth reading. I wonder how a motorcycle can be unreliable and have a large second-hand market at the same time. Are they highly modular? Can you easily build one working motorcycle out of two broken ones?
For that there is Uber Eats.
The core issue:

> "DeepMind repeatedly, unconditionally promised to 'never connect people's intimate, identifiable health data to Google'. Now it's announced... exactly that. This isn't transparency, it's trust demolition," [Lawyer and privacy expert Julia Powles] added.

I remember this from when DeepMind was first given access to UK patient data. The firewall between them and Google proper was a major point at the time.

The article is scant on details but while this move might not "demolish" trust it does seem to erode it.
Physical realtime activities like walking, driving, dancing or chasing a ball require, what I would call, "fast thinking". There you're in a very tight reception/response loop where a mediocre decision made in a timely fashion is better than an "optimal" decision which takes longer to produce and makes you skip processing a few frames from the surrounding environment.

"Offline" activities are different, there you have enough time to evaluate different decisions and their possible outcomes.
> Making life harder for majority of users to improve security of the selected few is a questionable decision

I agree in theory, though as an aside this isn't true for distribution packages because usually they are GPG signed with keys that are in TPMs on the release machines. Of course any other internet communication relies on TLS not being broken.

But another attack would be modifying one of Firefox's mirrors to host malicious Firefox (not a TLS attack but an attack of a specific mirror). GPG detached signatures for distribution packages protect against this and many other such problems (obviously some attacks against the build servers of a distribution would be problematic, but the same applies for any software project).

Though to be fair, I don't know if Firefox's auto-updater uses an update system like TUF or a distribution-style update system (which is mostly equivalent in terms of security) which would protect against these sorts of problems.

> Making life harder for majority of users to improve security of the selected few is a questionable decision.

I don't understand how logins being built-in to the browser is making life harder for the majority of users. It wouldn't make a difference to them. It would make a difference to the development team, but one could easily argue that the development team should be willing to make life slightly harder for themselves in order to make Firefox users more secure.

I'm not so sure...

Zen, in China, chan, is a mixture of Buddhism and Taoism, with Taoism originating in the 4th century BC during the warring states period along with most other influential Chinese philosophies (and, weirdly, much of Greek philosophy).

One rival was Mohism, sort of a mix of logic and sophism (logic has origins in rhetoric); Zhuangzi has some points about "disputation" that make me feel more kindly to modern analytic philosophy.

Yep, I think the current understanding is that all EU laws will still apply - they kind of grandfather them in - with the understanding that they could repeal them at a later date (as they can for any law).
I agree. It's like a buffet. Multiple stories, each frightening in their own way.
Don't forget the complete lack of a launch escape system...
Yes, otherwise it would be simple.
I think mostly the problem you've got there is that people looking for most of those things would go out and buy a BMW 1200GS. Ok, it's not a cruiser but it's just about as comfortable to sit on. All the luggage options and wind protection you could ask for and well ridden can keep up with most sports bikes in the real world.

There are some bikes which get close to your brief; you mentioned the Rocket III but if you're willing to compromise on what a cruiser would look like you've also get the Ducati Diavel. I'm not sure how much more room there is in this segment.

I think in some ways that's probably part of the problem Harley Davidson. New genres of motorcycles have come an gone without them making any attempt at competing with them.
Right, that is the formula for multisets, or bags as they are also called.
The browser password capture attack is awesome. To clarify though, that requires an external attacker-controlled process to monitor the GPU, yes? If you've already got a process running on the victim's computer, aren't there easier ways of installing a keylogger? Alternatively, are there legitimate programs that grant the ability to run arbitrary untrusted GPU code (WebGL springs to mind, but you'd think that if this attack were possible entirely from within the browser that they'd have been eager to show it off)? Or is the novelty here the ability to more easily guess which keystrokes represent passwords due to the website fingerprinting step? In any case, it suggests that websites could slightly frustrate the attack by making all the textboxes on their login page the same size, and that anyone using any password manager, including the one built in to their browser, is largely protected. Very cool nonetheless.
Yup. In Europe you don't copyright "ideas" but expressions of them. If a whistle a song and you make a song out of it and sell millions of copies, then I can't claim anything. Now, if I have a sheet of music with that tune written on it, that predates your own version, then I win.

That's made to ensure that ideas are free to flow. That's very good for auhtors (and society in general, as far as I'm concerned)
> Poland is the only country where Napoleon is (was?) perceived as a hero. The rest of Europe considered him to be someone more like Hitler of his times.

Well in France, I wouldn't say he's considered a hero, but he's well regarded, in part because of pride (fought against all Europe, conquered most of it and nearly won) and also because he had a huge influence on our institutions (legion d'honneur, code Napoléon, establishment of the prefects, baccalaureat) and for ending the bloody and troubled period of the Revolution.
>Motorcycle companies: I know you can do this so please stop faffing around and get on with it.

Maybe they really can't do it. Cars are doing some pretty impressive things with their engines these days with regard to fuel economy and performance, but they also sell orders of magnitude more units, and can afford to dedicate enormous engineering resources to engine development to achieve that performance. Motorcycle engines, like lawn mower engines, seem to be permanently stuck technologically in the 1970s.

A good app can greatly change behavior. I was an avid listener of This American Life, partly to their decent iOS app, bu quickly fell out of the habit when it became unmaintained.

Either you risk you're own money and get the product done fast. Or risk your time and spend 12 months building it and working part time. Either way you forfeit time and money.

Or you forget bootstrapping and seek out investment. It sounds like a small startup incubator would be perfect for your needs, they take some equity, you get funding $$ and the chance to build your product!
"Motorcycle companies: I know you can do this.."

That seems doubtful...
gravitational compression on the level of what occurs in the stars cannot be achieved on earth - - therefore, net positive fusion will never occur.

But if it's easier for 1 person to boycott, doesn't that make it easier for many people to do it too?

I agree with what you're saying: spreading the word and trying to have an impact on the system as a whole will help solve the problem.

What if I make it easier for myself to boycott and then communicate to others it would be easy for them too? Feel like this goes along the lines of solutions where you first brute-force-first/bottom-up/do-things-that-don't-scale and then spread the working solution.
I have no problem with data sharing for clinical or research purposes, especially since ethical standards for medical research provide meaningful privacy protection.

I do have a problem with insurance organizations and pharmacies abusing data sharing agreements intended for subrogation and similar procedures to manage pharmaceutical sales quotas and conduct outbound marketing.

Case in point: My wife was admitted to the hospital due to complications that from what was an early miscarriage. The health insurer sells data that allows an advertiser to surmise that there was a hospital admission to the OB department. The PBM provides anyone paying with information regarding prescriptions before my insurer even gets the claim.

Outcome: An advertiser (infant formula company) determines that my wife is likely pregnant and likely to deliver on Month/Day/Year. Guess what arrives on that day? A Fedex care package of formula.

That was a very hurtful event for us, and similar violations happen thousands of times every day.

> Harley arguably isnt a motorcycle company at all

And they know it.... or did at one time.

"We're in the fashion business," Willie Davidson, the grandson of Harley co-founder William A. Davidson told People in 1981. "No one needs a motorcycle. It's your toy or hobby. It has to do something for your ego."

And like any fashion business, if you lock into a demographic, you're left with nothing once that demographic dies out.
Those idiots probably also think the same, though.
Reddit is not the content author.
does the fifth guarantee some universal concept of mental privacy or does it prevent that information from being used in court?

You can’t take the fifth before a grand jury. I think there is a certain presumption that the actors are gentlemen that the law assumes. If you feel really strongly about that sort of privacy, you’d be well served to not find yourself in a criminal court trial.

There is both ambiguity and case law here.
At this point of time, the only way to ensure privacy is to have it embedded as a legal contract. Otherwise, all claims of "never use" or "will not be shared" means nothing.
Arbitrage issues wherever glibc and the syscall differ seem to be where the bugs and security issues lay or at least a good place to look.

Whenever a person has to roll out their own handler it will almost always undergo less testing and auditing. The article points gettid which for at least 10 years required your own method to use, and the comment section for the article points out that the getpid call had caching that was bugged for a long time.

Having no glibc implementation of a syscall affects its usage and the total number of people knowledgeable about that function, so it would be a perfect place to look for bugs and security.
In the nearly reverse case a poor implementation of a glibc handler might be doing something that would allow an attacker to take advantage. The same applies where the glibc and syscall functionality differ, an aspect only part of the syscall might be undertested.
In most IPOs, the vast majority of shares are allocated to institutional investors plus high net worth individuals who are favored customers of brokerages. Some of those buyers then flip their shares to retail investors just after the IPO for a quick low-risk profit.
