If you can’t network without office space, what have I been doing the last 10 years?
The softdevice binary runs in supervisor mode and typically does all its work in one of two interupt contexts.

So... it gets its own ram, rom, and you can’t (not supposed to anyhow) access it. So... no, to answer your question, but depends on what you are trying to prevent I guess.

You don’t need to run the softdevice at all, can shut off it down temporarily like while doing some crypto work, but if there was an exploit it seems like it could be bad because the SD seems like it can probably do anything your code could plus some. Additionally with the ‘software interrupt’ peripheral it seems it has a built-in way to branch to any arbitrary code location.

However... there is a gambling application that uses one and the code has been through a couple audits as I was told.
It's probably a good time to get a POA and have $500+ purchases go through you, etc.

This isn't a solution but a suggestion to help. Tracking down scammers is much harder.
Yeah I care. I saw them years ago in brisbane. Good band.
At first I quite liked this idea, but wouldn't it result in companies not willing to hire people outside of the inner city?
I fully agree, however I would say many existing projects are going go benefit from incrementally change into more modern C++ practices, than rebooting into Rust.

It is great that the team has achieved the Rust 2018 milestone, and there are already a few key companies adopting it, but it needs to catch up with 30 years of tooling, e.g. Qt, C++ Builder, CUDA, ...
> You still pay that. And yes, it's wrapped up in that $30.

That's a confusing way of putting it.

> Yes, someone is providing a 'service' for 30% of your billing

And that's pretty misleading as a followup.

You're paying them 30% to perform services and to pay that 9% tax for you. So you're effectively paying closer to 21% for their services. That's still a lot. But it's significantly less.

"CCC fans will be pleased to see that some of the new AlphaZero games include "fawn pawns," the CCC-chat nickname for lone advanced pawns that cramp an opponent's position. "

The "fawn pawn" naming comes from fans of kingscrusher on youtube who analyzes Leela Chess Zero games. https://www.youtube.com/user/kingscrusher

His accent makes him saying "thorn pawn" sound like "fawn pawn", and thus the name has been given.

Here is a link to shirts he sells with "fawn pawn" on them. https://teespring.com/fawn-pawn?tsmac=store&tsmic=kingscrush...
As others here are saying, they like AMP because they as developer do not ha e final say on what goes in The product. They can only do what The boss/client tells them to do.
Maybe not as pronounced as in your case but I can definitly understand where you’re comming from. What worked for me was trying to understand some martial arts / eastern spirituality, which brought a lot of peace and stability to my mind.

I remeber being tald about all the spiritual things that seem bonkers to a western educated mind, but with the idea that - all models are false, some models are useful, I just “tried” to imagine it working, and it actually did, the mind is an interresting thing.

Now whenever I am presented with those ancient patterns of thought I don’t dismiss them outright as false, but think of them as a model that can influence your emotions, and act accordingly.
Ah thanks, I just stated it like that due to many not wanting to deal with MS tooling outside Windows.

This is basically the argument made in "Reflections on Trusting Trust", the Turing Award Lecture of Ken Thompson.
They're quite practical even if you don't care about tracking. I have different containers for my work and personal Google accounts and they make things much easier than relying on Google's support for multiple accounts.

They're also great for development. I have different containers for each user I use while working on logged-in flows. I can just go from tab to tab to test different user experiences or switch between users in a multi-user interaction.
Probably depends on the person, some might get addicted after a cigarette, others not even after 10 packs. But that person might get addicted to alcohol.

Either way, after an operation might as well suck it up a bit, like they did before Oxy and the likes came.
It's just a bundled extension inside Firefox. You can't uninstall bundled extensions, and you can bundle yours in your custom Firefox installation if you want.

Did a similar thing for a project, rolled out customer's own Firefox extensions (for office workflow) to employee desktops. Extensions were bundled because the employers sometimes uninstall them and freak out because they can't work anymore.
If the batter swings and is hit by a pitch its a dead ball and its a strike.
If the pitch was in the strike zone then it would also be a dead ball and a strike.
Otherwise If the ball hits the batter first it is a hit by pitch, if it hits the bat first its a strike.
Lastly, If the batter hits the ball with one or two feet outside of the batters box he is out.
Ktask: optimizing CPU-intensive kernel work
As a side question, can anyone speak to what the organizational protocol of Mozilla looks like these days. Has that too changed in the last few years?

I liked Firefox, but when the drama around Brendan Eich blew up, I was disgusted and walked away. Have they gone back to just working together to build a good browser? Or does it still come with a “must think a certain way” subtext?

(FWIW, I want everyone to be able to code; I don’t care who/what/how you look like or sleep with or swear commitment to).
It's likely mis-attributed (or made up entirely) but there's a story I seem to recall about Teddy Roosevelt.

He fired a ranch hand for stealing a neighbor's cattle. Someone asked him "Why would you do that?" he responded with:

"Anyone who steals from my neighbor has no problem stealing from me".
What was the saying Comcast had with net neutrality? "Please give us these powers, we promise we won't use them."
I like FF stance especially with regards to privacy. It has significantly better as I am using it more and more on a personal level.

At work it's a different story though as our organization is heavily baked into Google's productivity suite (Gmail, Docs, Sheets, etc.) and of course, Google will always recommend using Chrome.

FF is far from perfect, and I see a lot of constructive comments here which, if taken by FF, can really improve a lot of aspect in their product.
I’m a consultant and I usually work alone in my own office (near home) but it’s nice to visit clients where I work on site for a few weeks once in a while. I would hate it if there was a big commute though.

It also takes way too many steps to make a site open in a container by default. And there doesn't seem to be any way to manage cookies by container. I'm not even sure what data is showing up in the cookie management preferences page.
Except it does so in a rather poor way:

* It's clearly driven by a biased entity (Google)

* It doesn't actually directly prioritize page speed

* It breaks websites
DRM is certainly a use case and was widely maligned as the idea behind early TEE / keystore concepts like Intel TPM, but they’re much more broadly useful. Common use cases include trusted boot (verification of OS components in an environment an attacker can’t tamper with) and secure key management (private keys which aren’t accessible to even a root level attacker). Secure key management enables a variety of trust scenarios like machine level root identity for service to service authentication in the data center (see Google Titan). TEE with access to biometric hardware also provides strong user identity, as is the case in the iPhone where data can be encrypted using a key which is undiscoverable without access to the user’s biometrics like fingerprint or face print and theoretically impossible to exfiltrate for offline use.
Thanks, could be a geocoder issue for a specific city - we will investigate.
You can achieve "inner heat" by moderate cold exposure and totally relaxing by suppressing shivers and clenched muscles. You don't need a metaphysical framework to do it.
A little more about the return process: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/17/your-money/buying-a-mattr...

And some anecdata: When I wanted to return an online mattress, I had the option of showing a receipt for giving it to a charity, or having the mattress company pick it up. None of the local charities I looked into took even slightly used mattresses. So the mattress company "pick up" was from a junk disposal company, and they just took the mattress to the waste transfer station on its way to the landfill.
> It's better for anything but full screen video.

Not better for having two windows side by side. Considering that we're talking about 17" laptop here, that isn't especially far fetched use case.
I thought of an even better plan: put a $7.5B Hyperloop between LA and SF and have near instant travel. Hyperloops don't quite exist yet, but they seem close at hand.

If you really want you can build a very fast site if you only download the part of the html that change between loads and still not break the back button. This is more work though.
No, we hire EE majors and Computer engineering majors.
> That's an extreme measure and is probably overkill right now as the loophole that states you don't have to do anything to weaken your security will likely be used as a challenge against building in any backdoors.

I saw that, but another part of the bill that I've seen (on a cursory review, and as a non-professional) is the sweeping, extreme secrecy measures surrounding the execution of any part of the bill.

Basically, my understanding is that you can't tell me as a customer if you've been required to compromise my privacy.

So say you even take the extreme measure and ship some sensitive roles overseas. If for any reason that's not enough, and your government requires you to surrender some of my data, then you will be legally unable to tell me.

That will destroy all trust.

I like Atlassian and am extremely sorry to see this happening to you.
REMOTE HIRING: The New Thing
With the establishment of businesses online, the stream of qualification and hiring requirements have shifted focus from manual labor to a more research intensive and technology-driven nature.

Now, when it comes to hiring employees, many companies prefer the remote hiring process. This involves electronic transfer of relevant educational and other documentation, followed by Skype or telephonic interviews and then, notification of final selection.

In a number of cases, the employees are required to work from home, dedicating a set few hours of their time to the job.

Time tracking softwares are used, generally, to keep a track of employees’ task completion and productivity analysis.

A number of businesses even allow their workers to work on their own time; meaning, flexible hours. They are required to dedicate a fixed number of hours to the job each day, regardless of when and how they do that. This largely depends on the nature of the job as well.

If the work doesn’t require much teamwork, and the employee is able to work independently without any need for consultation with the rest of the team, then they are always free to work on their own time.

It is like freelancing in most ways, but not really the same.

So true. At my last job, one of my managers used to complain that he wasn't "seeing" more of his people in the office. Never mind the fact that the stuff actually got done on time and under budget. He had a wife and 3 kids at home and office was his "refuge," and came into the office every single day. So, he wanted people around him.

He was also a smooth-talking backstabbing insert choice curse word here. But that's a story for another day.
Ballmer was famously quoted in an interview laughing at it claiming it wouldn't appeal to customers due to not having a keyboard.

Hell, back in the 40's even Thomas Watson of IBM claimed there was only enough market for 5 computers in the world.

Many times it is a different style of how standard business operates so someone coming in and changing the market is really hard to look at when your mind is already made up.
The “Google Self-Driving Car” (circa 2011)

You still have to check everything manually one by one. Imagine if you wanted to check 15 things, that could take a while whereas a dashboard would show you all the info you wanted to know in 1 place.

I don’t think it’s an attack motivated by a vendetta against the “tech community” so much as the media industry’s unique relationship to Facebook, which has become a (if not the) primary driver of their audience and ad revenues.
It would be nice if there were a Node flavor that used SpiderMonkey as a choice to V8. Until that happens most of us are forced to use Chrome related technology no matter how much more we may prefer Mozilla tech.
Unit economics don’t really matter in this case. Lyft and Uber could be hemorrhaging money but the paradigm has fundamentally shifted. Ownership as we know it will become meaningless. Sure, you could buy a self-driving car, but do you need to? Waymo One’s launch will determine the future of ridesharing companies, not unit economics.

Kids get FaceTime and video calls way easier than voice only. My kids (2,4,6) are completely uninterested in a voice only call, but when I FaceTime them we can have 15-20 minutes of interaction.

When it’s voice only my kids will still try and show a picture to the phone, etc. and when we tell them it’s just voice and the person can’t see them they just ask why not.

I’ll add my own memories to the anecdote: when I was a kid my dad’s family would call from overseas. Even though my Arabic was passable, my grandma wouldn’t get more than a hello, I love you, and I miss you out of me. Why? The sound quality sucked, the timing was off, and I couldn’t really picture my grandma in my mind while talking. If there had been FaceTime in 1988 it wouldve been a different story. In 2005 my Arabic was WAY worse but our conversations way more expressive even with crappy video.

I travel a few days a month, those 15 minutes of FaceTime when I get back to the hotel probably do more for me than them.
Anecdotally I have friends from 20-26 and not a single one is without a computer. Phones getting more powerful doesn't eliminate the computer. In fact, I know way more people without a TV than without a comnputer, as the computer replaces the TV.
You are taking about policy here. The article is talking about technical implementation.
Which got its inspiration from the obscure little UNIX utility called indent, being used during the 90's on CVS pre-commit hooks.
A company I worked for had something like this, basically along the lines of, "you can't poach customers or other employees for a year." You likely could still work on your own as a consultant in the same field, but what it appeared to disallow was trying to take your clients with you.

The company was acquired, (and that in turn), when the new parent tried rolling out new contracts per employee, with a short turnaround to sign. Among other things, the new version basically would have prevented me from working in my field for a year.

I told them I needed time to have it reviewed by my lawyer, and I did too. Sure, the backlash had them rolling back the demand forthwith, but it convinced me that the ideal time to leave was immediately, under my old contract.
Setting up an airline isn't cheap either but plenty of people do it.
A the risk of stating the obvious: using a VPN would not really protect you this vulnerability, though it would mitigate your exposure (a lot or a little depending on your setup and threat model).

edit: to clarify, vpn/vpc requirement would turn CVE-2018-1002105 from a pre-auth to a post-auth vulnerability, right? Which might be a big or small help depending on how controlled your user pool and signup process is.
The good news is that most people don't have a pregnancy every single year.

I know, I know, other conditions apply. But even with young kids (and related pregnancies), my family has not consumed anywhere near what I've paid in premiums the last decade. I'd be shocked if we "got back" 10% of what I've paid in.
They have to attempt to keep Apple from learning about it, as I understand it. I wonder what steps Apple will take to bar this kind of eventuality. If an employee makes a good faith attempt to comply with this request, which is then blocked by the overseas manufacturer, can they throw their hands up and say, "Well, I tried!"? Would this allow them to avoid the $50k fine and 10 years in jail the Government can hand out for not complying?
I believe Firefox focus is already using geckoview instead of webview
Why is the government still bothering with such a variable quantity like household income, why not per capita? Household income introduces unnecessary complexity with how family sizes change over the decades, between ethnicity, by divorce, and all sorts of other confounding factors.

I don't know, it seems like it's probably better to take it offline than to have a whole argument about something that shouldn't be talked about in the first place. If you keep talking, they are just going to put more dubious speculation on the record.

Shutting this down is just good management.
Some of them form Salafist militias in Syria.
Ah crap. I totally missed that this happens. It's a damn shame really, what exists of Servo at this point was rather amazing in terms of speed.
Agreed, it's sort of surreal that nobody in any of the issue threads admitted that was a good solution.
I have studied the previously released games.
they are pretty enough to ask.

Even if (and here I agree with you) chances seem slim.
Yeah I've heard that, yet when I picked mine up I got a speech about not using high speed charging too often, or charging past 90% all the time...

I'm not convinced these battery packs are as durable as they say.
Hmm, I don't think I ever mentioned AMP in my posts. I know the blog post talked about it, but I was focusing on the PWA bit, as it's something I'm fairly experienced with. When the guy mentioned 15MB, I was simply saying that it's not an outlandish size if you're delivering a PWA which provides 15MB worth of solid functionality.

I guess you got your wires crossed, as AMP is not something I was talking about - my focus was specifically on PWAs and the fact that it's not a problem if their payloads are large.

But yes, AMP (read: glorified CDN) wouldn't solve much if you have 15MB to download each time you visit a site (aside: you wouldn't need to do this with PWAs because of caching).
I would be able to accurately gauge AlphaZero’s true chess ability, strengths and weaknesses. Right now it’s impossible to do that given a curated selection of games. It would be like evaluating someone’s coding ability based on a few samples of their absolute finest work rather than the code they actually write day in and day out.
What's Godot? Is it an ML thing?
Possibly too complex of a tool with not enough demand for it? It probably takes a certain type of individual (like us) to care about this sort of thing or to even think about it. Personally, I hate wasting time looking at 20 different things every time I want to get a complete picture of something. Imagine you had a dashboard where you could not only connect services, but add your own charts, documents, info, stickies, whatever.

Now that I think about it, I wonder how much could just be done with Zapier, google docs and some other services out there. Time to research!
Works in a browser and has the environment set up to run the thing you're making.

If you go the vs coderoute everyone needs to set up there system to match. Using node? Which version of node? Or which version of python.

And everyone sees the output of the program when anyone clicks play.
As much as Mozilla would have liked Edge to replace EdgeHTML with its rendering engine, the odds on that happening would have been a lot higher if Mozilla was at a different point in its engineering cycle: it's in the middle of an ambitious rewrite of its own rendering engine, in a new language...

With Servo only just in developer preview, it's not going to be fit for Microsoft's enterprise customer needs for another couple of years, and taking a dependency on Rust would have been hard for Microsoft as it has its own languages that serve much the same purpose.

Choosing a mature browser platform written on C and C++ makes a lot of sense when thought of in those terms.
