That sounds obnoxiously insecure on the back-end. Notoriously, the most broken authentication mechanisms used plaintext (or reversibly encrypted) storage. The answers to the three security questions that the article links to also point this out.

Sounds like ING Poland needs to be called out by some security researchers.

The NT 4.0 source code is probably stupidly interesting and I'm sure there's much to be learned, but... Source code leaking is not the same as something getting open sourced. It's illegal, and it doesn't foster collaboration in the same way. And plus, even as fascinating as NT 4.0 is, it'd be neat to see more recent stuff too.
It's a good skill, yes, but you can't expect everyone to be good at it (just like anything), and I think it's a lot worse when you're dealing with family members.

I don't have an actual solution here, I'm just pointing out that this seems to be a common problem.

Facebook is glorified AIM+Webshots+Digg. The only thing it did different than most of those other products is successfully make the transition to mobile. Most other companies got replaced by mobile clones. Instagram almost did it, became the mobile Webshots, but FB swallowed them.
I think they are using the wrong word here, I think by "determinism" they mean interpretable. You train your big neural network to classify images, it works fine on the test set but then one day in the wild you discover your network classified a turtle as a rifle [0]. Why did it do that? what can we change to fix that, how could we have seen this coming? Those answers won't come easily compared to a more old school system.

I noticed this is all in python - are you aware of an equivalent library for R?
I'm not sure what's the library providing the functionality, but regex replace is super nice in the Spacemacs emacs distribution. It takes the same arguments as vim, but shows and highlights the changes your regex will do while you're writing it out.

So if you can't have perfect privacy, you'll have nothing at all? That's quite an all-or-nothing way of looking at this issue.

A little bit of knowledge: Facebook News Feed and self-perceptions of knowledge
According to the Government's Implications for Business and Trade of a No Deal Exit on 29 March 2019 document:

> This estimates that the UK economy would be 6.3-9% smaller in the long term in a no deal scenario (after around 15 years) than it otherwise would have been when compared with today’s arrangements, assuming no action is taken.

> Although our food supply is diverse, resilient, and sourced from a wide variety of countries, the potential disruption to trade across the Short Channel Crossings would lead to reduced availability and choice of products.

> HMRC has estimated that the administrative burden on businesses from customs declarations alone, on current (2016) UK-EU trade in goods could be around £13bn p.a.

That feels pretty extreme to me.

> This is also why modern vinyl releases sound a lot better than digital: they are mastered differently since its assumed everyone is going to be listening on good equipment.

Sorry, I don't know much about sound so here comes probably the most stupid question of the day (but hope never dies):

does this mean that I might get better sound if I would buy a vinyl & one of those turntables which can directly digitize to USB, then if I would buy & download the digital song directly (or maybe even the CD)? Thx
The + operator looks great – I've personally experienced the papercut this solves multiple times, where it would be most natural to have "combine two dicts" operator:

return {'a': 'b'} + other_dict

but instead I had to assign to a variable and mutate with .update(), which is much more verbose:

x = {'a': 'b'}
x.update(other_dict)
return x

However, I was working in Python 2; Python 3 has

{'a': 'b', **other_dict}

and even

{**one_dict, **other_dict}

though the PEP mentions that the latter doesn't work in all circumstances. Still, it will be nice to have a more general operator; I personally don't really care whether it's called + or |.

On the other hand, the - operator seems... strange, in that it only considers the keys of its right-hand argument, and ignores the values. Seems like a footgun.
You're making a lot of presumptive, imprecise, and careless claims. I disagree with your conclusions, and I question the validity of your assumptions.

If you want to have this discussion, I'd urge you to engage in a more digestible and exacting approach, rather than trying to ramble your way through the topic.
I guess (hope) they just have a collection of patterns that they apply (like (3, 9, 11, 12, 15) from the OP), and when they store your password's hash, they also store the hash of those several characters so that they can present the pattern to you later and check whether you matched the pattern correctly.
That's some pretty boring information overall.

One which might be cause for concern is LogInvalidInputPasted() specifically because pastedExpression is included in the Telemetry Event.

I also have questions on LogConversionResult(). Why is that recording NetworkAccessBehavior or the raw conversion values? Wouldn't knowing the FromUnit/ToUnit be enough to know how much something is being used?
Could you elaborate on what you mean with this? It seems like you are hinting at something which I apparently did not pick up.
What is wrong with whatsapp?
I think the reason for the lackluster reception NVIDIA has gotten to the current RTX designs is only in a small part caused by the actual poor design. Yes, real-time ray tracing, the new feature in these cards, is so bad that it's barely usable — but we're used to that, v2 will be better. I have a lot of sympathy for NVIDIA engineers trying to improve the state of the art, it's never easy.

However, the issue with NVIDIA is that they have adopted the antics of the game development space they cooperate with, and they have a poor attitude towards their customers as a result. So far as outright saying that their customers are stuck, so that the pricing doesn't matter, you'll just pay for it and get on with your life anyway. One major example of this is the banning of their 'gaming' cards from data centres via an EULA, because they couldn't sell their 10X-priced 'enterprise' cards, since they performed within 10% of each other.

Another example is RTX, again. They've stopped producing their 10xx series cards to sell more RTXes at a higher margin, because, boy it turns out people still want and prefer older cards compared to the RTX ones, in consideration of the price-bloat that NVIDIA has saddled the RTX with.

I don't buy this stuff about "the press" at all. The press in America was firmly behind Hillary in the 2016 election, and look what happened. The voters do have a will of their own and they're not just doing what the press tells them. (This isn't to say the voters made the right choice: the way the voters have voted is why we don't have strong data-protection laws, along with a lot of other things the Europeans have such as a better-functioning healthcare system, better public transit, etc.)

> Here's the crux of my argument: If it is the manufacturer's responsibility to create and maintain drivers, then they shouldn't have to open source them and mainline them because they did all the work and took responsibility.

I already said about both requirements. Only those who don't upstream or don't maintain their drivers have such problems. Remove either one - and problems are guaranteed. Stable ABI is only going to cause issues because developers won't care to fix anything thinking that "they are done with it" like you said. And review by the kernel maintainers is a good thing. There should be no trust for blobs.

TL;DR: things are working well with responsible hardware makers. So use their hardware, and avoid irresponsible ones. There is no reason for Linux maintainers to change their approach which works.
Pytorch's official one is very good: https://pytorch.org/tutorials/beginner/pytorch_with_examples...

They even start with NumPy, as the article does.
There's always a larger context though. Who cares about Facebook or Google when the NSA is tracking everything we do? Who cares about anyone being tracked when the global climate is on track to destabilize society? Who cares about society when we're not doing anything about the inevitable heat death of the universe?

Pointing out the larger context isn't automatically helpful. I believe the GP's comment is an example of unhelpful whataboutism.
The reverse is overwhelmingly more likely. For 8khz+ frequencies (where most compression takes place) your hearing declines pretty quickly once you hit 30 years. Whatever real compression differences you're hearing at 20 will be largely gone 10 years later, and almost certainly 20 years later.

No, it does not. It's still UB. UB is defined by the standard, not by your compiler's implementation. Certain behaviors may be implementation defined by the standard, those can be defined by your compiler.

But if the standard says it's UB, it's UB. End of story.
I read the entire thing and it's honestly not worth summarizing. There's nothing of substance, just a lot of empty platitudes. He describes a lot of generic privacy protections (limiting metadata collection, reducing data permanence, secure data storage) but says nothing as to how or when Facebook will ever implement them.

It basically boils down to a promise that Facebook will "think about privacy" at some unspecified future date.
This is their whole plan. They are testing the waters with this. Soon all of Windows will be open source.

Yes I agree, I think the idea here is to provide applied machine learning as a service to game devs.
The entire idea of a privacy-focussed social network seems oxymoronic. I agree there are practical improvements to be made to social networking to address the unintended or unpredicted consequences of data sharing (including regulation). But calling the social network itself 'privacy focussed' sets the wrong impression. Better inform users about what is happening to their data, but don't sell your product as private when it isn't.
Part of the Windows 2000 source code leaked and it included Notepad. I don't think it's changed much since then as it's pretty much a wrapper around the Win32 widget with a few features like changing the font, printing, etc.

I've never specialized in AI but from my experience on game teams most of the challenges revolve around making the AI 'fun' to play against, which is not generally very well defined. It's also about taking feedback from designers and playtesters and figuring out how to adjust the AI to address that feedback. Machine learning techniques aren't really used much in game AI, partly due to these aspects. It's not necessarily obvious how to adjust some black box ML model in response to feedback from playtesters on balance issues or from designers on making the AI more or less 'agressive' or other qualitative feedback. Usually it's more a collection of rules and heuristics with various parameters that can be adjusted to tune the behavior and allow for different difficulty levels etc.
Game AI is mostly pathfinding (which basically falls down to creating navigation meshes for levels), and very basic decision making skills, which is usually a weighted decision tree (e.g. if they're getting shot at, cover might be weighted at 80%, shooting back at 20%). You don't want to actually create something actually smart to fight, you want something with understandable, predictable logic for the player and something they feel clever outsmarting. Anything too complex and players will get discouraged by the difficulty.

Machine learning isn't really a great fit for this, as it is neither predictable nor understandable, and thus the player can't plan around it or try to outsmart it.
Would you be mad if your bank offered to allow people to verify their identity with FB, or if they forced it. I dont see why the former bothers you, if you choose not to use that feature.

I would not use FB to log into a bank because of the Against section. Its not the technical implementation, but their human services that make the product too risky to be trusted as my keys to a door. Im not worried about them logging in and poking around my bank, im worried about them locking me out.
I think the author has confused himself into thinking that just like a computer has discrete physical components called RAM, CPU and Hard Disk, the human brain at some physical level has similar components. However when neuroscientists are talking about these terms they are talking in logical terms and not physical terms. The 'chemical changes' and 'rewiring of brain' that the author thinks are the reality of how the brain works are still compatible with the logical way in which computers work. The memory and computation and storage are distributed across large collection of neurons in the brain yet they logically conform to computer design principles.
The DNA of Facebook does not support marks vision of close communities and private communication. Kodak made one of the first digital cameras, but it was, at is core, an analog company. Facebook, at its core, is a company that vacuums data to sell back to advertisers. Targeted ads in a private chat will never feel private, no matter how loud they scream that it is.

Agreed, but the NSA doesn't seem to act like they care about defense, but wielding it only as a weapon.

If they care about defense, I'd be interested to see any meaningful examples.

There's a good chance this is where the interoperability comes into play.

Jawdrop ... that is the most idiotic thing I've been made aware of in quite some time.

First of all, never mind all the gaping usability problems and obvious decrement in security.

The system must be storing passwords in plain text in order to make this work.

I can think of ways that don't require plain text storage (like pre-computing various partial passwords and hashing them separately), but (1) people who came up with this idea would be too stupid to have implemented that, and, (2) in practical terms, it significantly reduces the possible number of partial passwords: we can't hash all of the subsequences of the string, because there are vastly many, so we have to rather generate some reasonable number of canned subsequence positions. Such a reduction in itself is a security compromise.
Why headaches from lying down for a long time?
A lot of classic x86 Win32 apps are in the Store these days, too. It is a safer way to buy and install such things. (Photoshop, iTunes, Office, etc.)

Windows is continuing to expand to ARM even without phones right now. The HoloLens 2 is reported to be built around a Qualcomm Snapdragon.

Windows 10 ARM tablets/netbooks are a product again, in trying to compete with Chrome OS, and it isn't a repeat of the Windows "RT" tablets because Windows 10 on ARM now supports x86 emulation and a lot of classic 32-bit Win32 applications.

Just because you currently don't have a use for the Store doesn't mean that no one has a use for the Store. It's nice finally having a proper central app installer/updater without every application developer installing their own baroque updater and running it on every Windows startup. Getting rid of the Apple Updater alone by installing iTunes from the Windows Store is such a relief.
The real question is: if Microsoft's Paint gets alpha channel support, what happens to GNU Gimp? :P

I use FLAC for storage, and Opus for playback. I.e. in essence I use both. The benefit of lossless is ability to re-encode later to any new codec (Opus-next?) if it will be useful. For playback, transparent Opus is good since it takes less space.

I.e. in practice - in my main archive I use FLAC. On some portable players and etc. I use Opus encoded from that FLAC.

That's why I always try to buy music in FLAC when possible and stores like Bandcamp are great for it.
Those phones aren’t “grey market,” they are black market.
I agree, provisionally. The NSA should play a variety of different roles (as it does!), and different parts of the organization should specialize in those roles. And some level of cyber-espionage is valid, though I think it's overemphasized.

But improving IT security is less sexy than destroying adversaries' nuclear capabilities, and its easier to sell the (decidedly mixed) value of the latter stories than e.g. improving capabilities to identify and monitor foreign attackers.

This individualist or spacial definition of privacy doesn't make much sense in a world where the effects of privacy loss have macro effects and aren't limited to 'domains'. If you whip out your smartphone while I have a conversation next to you, even in a private or semi-public space, and my records get send somewhere without my knowledge, did you just violate my privacy?

If my boss has a speaker on his desk and I can't reasonably expect to be listened to, but he records me anyway, how do I prevent this?

Privacy needs to be understood as a social good, not as an individual right. Privacy is being destroyed in the same way pollution diminishes air quality, if you have privacy only locked into your home with the blinds shut you might as well not have privacy at all.

Privacy needs to be drastically expanded to have meaning for connected people in a social environment. It should mean I can use the train without being tracked, state a political opinion without forever having it pinned to my name, and without having to feel supervised every time I eat something unhealthy or say something that resembles dissent.
"Valid role" is a meaningless term in the context of the NSA, which has broken the law for at least a decade with no consequences. The head of the NSA has lied to congress (which would put an ordinary man in prison). The NSA has spied and continues to spy on Americans in violation of several laws and court rulings. If the founding fathers were still alive, they'd be stacking bodies by now.
