That was the point of the Twitter interaction. A way for Apple to repro easily, but they ignored. I can't believe this has gone on so long quite honestly. Then again it really shows the ecosystem lock-in. This is a great example though... Eventually why not lock out everything non-Apple? Hasn't seemed to have mattered much over a month.
We make noise, we will shout back, but even if the noise we're making eventually resolves to something positive, let's not kid ourselves, it will take _time_.

What kind of Visa sponsorship are you expecting? An L1 visa for transferring from an international company location to the US? That would rule out startups. An H-1B? That takes months, and has less than a 30% success rate. An O-1? Do you have documentation that would support "extra-ordinary" abilities?

An E-2 visa is kinda neat though--have you thought of taking matters into your own hands?

That's not their narrative, that's people watching the video for themselves. It's not even worth debating at this point, because if you don't see two grown men barging into a group of kids that they have nothing to do with and getting in the face of one of them while the other shouts actual racist things at them (watch with sound), then no amount of factual information is going to change your point of view.

What I find disturbing about events like the Smolett case (also Covington Catholic, "A Rape on Campus", etc) isn't that one person would fake such a thing, but that so many would eagerly promote and support a claim that fit their agenda without questioning it.
Also, they got their ass handed to them in a smear campaign when they tried blocking 3rd party cookies the first time around in 2013 [1] and ended up accepting these by default again.

Is it social media or the news? Is it CNN, Foxnews, NYTimes, BuzzFeed, Huffpo, MSNBC, etc or social media?

Did rolling stone intentionally lying about campus rape cause the problem or social media? Is the media constantly peddling lies like "campus rape crisis", "racist attacks", etc the problem or social media?

I don't remember social media having this level of problem until the news industry forced it's way into social media.

The outrage isn't being driven by social media. It's being driven by the news industry and the media in general. But I guess blaming russia hasn't worked so now we can scapegoat social media.

From UVA to Covington to Mollett and everything else, is it the platform or the journalists, celebrities, etc creating the message.

How do you even know that "everyone else" experiences colors the same as each other? How do you know for example that it is not the case that what I experience as "red" is what, if you experienced it the way I did, you would call "blue"? You can't really get inside another person's experience.

I don't think it's all 3rd hand.

There's definitely a lot of 2nd hand outrage. Look at Reddit. There's tons of popular subs that exist for no reason other than to shit on other people for doing certain things. Every now and then we get a HN thread where it's basically just everyone bitching about whatever thing the article is about. I'd call that 2nd hand outrage.
This is exactly the model that Firebase is aiming to support. Cloud Firestore is accessed directly through the various client libraries (Android, iOS, JS).

Native (NDK) development on Android is hard on purpose, as means to increase the platform security and target multiple SOCs.

NDK level programming is explicitly only allowed for scenarios where ART JIT/AOT still isn't up to the job like Vulkan/real time audio/machine learning, or to integrate C and C++ from other platforms.

In fact, with each Android release, the NDK gets further clamped down.

I would like a better NDK experience, in view of iOS and UWP capabilities, on the other hand I do understand the security point of view.

True 24/7 can be really disruptive. I've had consulting gigs where some people would rather call me at 3AM then talk with the person next to them in the Ops room. Irritating as all can be, having a sleep schedule disrupted. Same customer ended up having you come in for a normal work day, cater supper, have you do evening deployments/change control/bug fix, then the late night/early AM stuff on prod would start till 5/6AM. You could possibly grab a couple hours of sleep before starting the 'normal' next day - but it was easier to just pound through a 32 hour day and then collapse on the airplane home. Nothing productive happened from those long days. Just like water skiing, more and more mistakes happen the longer a person is at it.

Exactly. That's what I don't get about this whole architecture argument. If I write a mess of Python and deploy on a local ARM SBC or drop it into a remote x86 webserver, what's the difference?
It's quite common for extremely dumb bots to fake impossible UA's for various brute-force attack. Usually, something in the line of Microsoft Edge for PPC Linux or something equally silly. In such cases it's easy to get a WAF to block the impossible combinations. The bots are usually simple enough that such simple measures block a large amount of the botnet traffic.

In our case, we block the impossible combos and rate-limit the ones commonly used by botnets.

Blocking based on whether the UA has "Linux" in it is just dumb, though.
It's worth noting that historically that RFC 2109 and RFC 2965 specified that user agents should respect the user's privacy and not allow cross-server cookies. Since browsers have flat out ignored this recommendation since the beginning this never meant anything, and newer RFCs explicitly allow the default. But if we had been a little more prescient this mess could have been avoided.

It's also worth noting that anecdotically, blocking all third party cookies and running an adblocker has not lead to "breaking the web" in my personal use. I can count any issues I encountered on one hand, and I've run this setup for years. It might me that my internet use is weird (I don't believe so) but it makes me feel the consequences for users for this is overblown.

I was just wondering about that as I read it... though the source code wasn't for SMP, it was for the program he'd used to encrypt the SMP source.

Apparently it's "a version of crypt(1) with some parameters changed"... the question of course is which parameters... and of course, what the key is...

With the algorithm and key unknown, it'd be a pretty hard problem to solve.

EDIT: Looks like there are three crypt(1) variants.

- An exact implementation of the M-209 from V6 UNIX: https://minnie.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/utree.pl?file=V6/usr/source/...

- A single-rotor Enigma-style machine from V7 UNIX: https://minnie.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/utree.pl?file=V7/usr/src/cmd...

- A slight variation on the Enigma implementation: https://sourceforge.net/p/schillix-on/schillix-on/ci/default...

The M209 seems to be alphanumeric-only, and as the "source code" is binary, that'd rule it out.

Chances are, it's a butchered version of the Enigma algorithm.

Practically you'd need some known plaintext to recover the keystream. Even so, that wouldn't translate to the SMP source code unless you could find a weakness in the keystream generator.

The incoming password is hashed-and-salted by crypt(3) - so however long the password is, the "real" key will be 13 printable ASCII characters long (and the first two will be the salt).
This is very true. It's also easy to blame this on profit motive and clickbait driven advertising but a lot of these journalists are ideologically motivated in large part due to their ironically upper middle class liberal arts education (read privileged).

Bored Bloke Takes Control of British Army 'Psyops' Unit's Twitter
Mainframes, have been the pioneers of using bytecode as distribution format, with the CPUs being microcoded for the specific bytecode set (e.g. Xerox PARC / Burroughs), or having JIT/AOT compilation at deployment time like IBM i and IBM z (aka OS/400, OS/300).

So while Linus opinion is to be respected, mainframes, and the increase in smartphones, smartwatches and GPS devices use of bytecode distribution formats with compilation to native code at deployment time, shows another trend.

Maybe I'm missing something, but why are you talking only in terms of massive funding and growth. The GP stated that they're seeing success in smaller (I don't actually know the size) companies due to capitalizing on a local or hyperlocal need. That's far from disrupt, fund, flip, and retire, and it's a perfectly viable way to start, grow and maintain a business.

Again, I could be missing the entire point of your comment.
This language is still awful. The title is inexcusable and this "technically" qualifier is implying that open source is some flimsy title to be bandied about with software that is not.

More critically, the mantis shrimp doesn’t have opponency.

In humans—-and most other animals—-the visual system represents color[0] using a relative system: is something redder than it is green? Bluer than it is yellow? To create this, neurons receive excitatory input from (e.g.) a red cone and inhibitory input from nearby green cones. This representation makes sense, given the cones’ spectral sensitivity, but it also makes some colors “impossible”. Since each color is essentially a point along these two axes, something can’t be blue and yellow at the same time, reddish green, or even some shades of “hyper-green”[1,2].

The mantis shrimp, near as we can tell, doesn’t have this sort of representation. The anatomical pathways don’t seem to be there, and some behavioral work with trained(!) mantis shrimp also suggests that they have independent color channels, and, as a result, their color sensitivity is actually not amazing. Interestingly, they may do something to “fake” color opponency: different receptor types are in different parts of the eye, and the shrimp ‘drags’ its eye across the scene to produce a sort of temporal context.

That’s more than you probably wanted to know but...shrimp are neat.

[0] To a first approximation, anyway.

[1] There is a place called Reddish Green, which I assume is not invisible, but I’ve never been to Stockport, England.

[2] More seriously, there are some tricks you can play to (briefly) perceive some of these impossible colors. The general approach is that you stare at something of one color, then quickly switch to looking at something of the opponent color. This “fatigues” (adapts) cells that signal the first color, so they provide less inhibitory input in response to the second color.
The talk seems to conflate distribution of source code and software licensing. Sometimes code is published for inspection but a license must still be purchased. It would be helpful if the discussion isolated rights that are passed on by possession of the source code vs possession of license rights.
Yup - and this gets amplified by the tendency that most social media platforms have, of heavily boosting the visibility of clickbait and repost-bait content. It's, yes, the "Sad!" pattern of conveniently deflecting controversy by attacking one's perceived opponents, plus the increased visibility that this gets you. This is something that social media platforms could very much work on - even some simple sentiment analysis could be useful in stopping these outrage cascades.
Narh, it's extremely common to see stuff like Firefox 34 for Linux trying to log into WordPress sites a few hundred times per hour. I guess it's old malware that lives on in hacked web sites that the owners abandoned.

It's not an either-or problem: both contribute to the outrage crisis. The difference is that media doesn't provide the platforms for individuals to communicate with each other and the world. That responsibility falls on social media.

> I don't remember social media having this level of problem until the news industry forced it's way into social media.

I'd argue that this is largely due to the fact that it took many years for social media companies to onboard large portions of the modern world. You may notice a correlation here, but where's the evidence of causality?

> The outrage isn't being driven by social media. It's being driven by the news industry and the media in general.

I disagree with this. Many social media platforms guide their users to certain types of content automatically using their recommendation engines. As an example, I consume a lot of political content on Youtube, and yet I get recommendations to watch conspiracy theory videos constantly. CNN isn't telling me to watch Q, YouTube is.
> RTS3's network architecture is strongly object oriented (see Figure 6). The requirements of supporting multiple network configurations really played to the strengths of OO design in abstracting out the specifics of platform, protocol, and topology behind a set of common objects and systems.
