Law enforcement has tools like Cellebrite and GrayKey that can unlock or extract data while the phone is powered on but locked.

Apple is making this a bit more difficult by disabling the port if the phone hasn't been unlocked for seven days or more, but if the device is powered on and law enforcement acts fast, it's vulnerable.

> Chances are good that if you’re in the market for a smartphone, you fall into one of two very clear cut categories. Either: a. you’ve decided that your new phone is a very important item in your life, so you’re going to buy the nicest phone available at whatever price. (Usually this means an iPhone, although some flagship Android phones qualify for this category.) Or, b. you’ve decided that just about every phone out there is ‘good enough’ and is more than adequate for your needs, so you’ll go with whatever one costs $0 with your existing wireless contract.

Someone else asked this maybe a year ago. I've been prodding our exchange team to write a proper post about it but they have been ... busy. The move is also still in progress.

But a short version is pretty simple: lack of available talent, unsuitable memory model, performance. Erlang's shared-nothing model is great for concurrency; it does not work well when dealing with data structures that are subject to invasive operations. (Limit order book sees very rapid modifications.)

I'll have to nudge our exchange team again about the writeup. Maybe we'll have it at some point.

Is it legal to take steps to intentionally frustrate any future searches that may be done against the device by border agents, in cases where the is no other crime being covered up?

For example, having a trusted remote party encrypt your data, and that party will only decrypt it once you've cleared customs?

When I was a grad student I worried about this, since I was required to keep study participant data and student data confidential.

Fighting this is all well and good, but we should look into the near future to when brain scanning or lie detecting has improved.

The fundamental problem is that governments believe they deserve to know citizens and travelers' thoughts. (Cell phone contents are a close proxy.) I disagree, and believe they can still provide adequate border and intranation security without it.

My local library has a 24/7 return system. You simply put the books on a conveyor belt and it takes them in and scans them. I imagine it reads the RFID but you could get a similar system to scan the barcode, you just have to insert them back side up. Would be quicker than scanning with a handheld barcode scanner.

Do you think is it a good idea?
I'll chime in, since I moved to PC-based fanless router hardware about 5 years ago, and for my needs it's been fantastic.

One of my WAN connections is 100Mbps down (25 up), and I don't have any problem saturating it. I'm only using whatever hardware offloading Linux supports out of the box, which from the parent article I guess is pretty minimal (e.g. stuff like checksum offloading, I suppose). I haven't noticed any bottlenecks when routing between two gigabit LANs (I just ran a quick dd|nc test that measures 940Mbps). However, my needs may be relatively simple and I'm sure there must be more complex scenarios that would benefit from the offloading described in the parent article.

I bought a 4-port Intel NIC because I wanted discrete network interfaces for 2 LANs and 2 WANs. I ended up having to saw off some of the PCI-e edge connector segments to make it fit in my motherboard, so I'm presumably not getting the benefit of all the lanes the NIC could otherwise take advantage of, but nonetheless it seems satisfactory for my needs.

Summary: Young man has a passion & dream to make movies. He has a thriving business but it's not enough to fund the movie. His friends agree to fund a movie but with a clause - it must be a porno movie.

He researches existing literature and it sucks. He won't make porn. He'll make a real movie that also has explicit sex.

He shoots normal scenes first, and sex scenes later. Sex scenes has some issues like the actors unable to get erection and him not knowing how to direct the scenes.

Movie is finished. He edits, distribution says he must include at least one lesbian scene, some cum shots... things he'd cut out.

Movie is a success in theaters and gets sold out every single day and then all hell breaks loose. The police comes after him. Lots of complaints were sent to officials - some by people who hadn't actually watched the movie.

The film maker had used a property owned by the church without permission and the church was the force behind the investigations.

The court case was a sham. The investigators invokes anti-fornication laws 100s of years old. And the cops (probably) sets the film maker up.

One of the lead actors commits suicide just as the case becomes a federal one. The government takes all the earnings of the film, fines him, bans him from film making for a few years and gives him a suspended jail sentence.

I don't agree with (but can see the logic in) them copying data off your HD and trying to crack it later.

But I don't understand what legal argument is to be made for arbitrarily seizing property at the border.
These cases keep on cropping up and you see people suggesting to do some sort of technical trick like taking the hard-disk out of the laptop and carrying a TailsOS live USB flash device for your computing. Other tricks might include mailing a USB flash disk to a hotel reception with the intent of picking it up when you arrive. These are all fraught with risk and you could appear extra suspicious by doing these. Another 'trick' I see people advocating for is trying to act like a so called 'normie' and having normal average joe files on your computer and maintaining an innocent-looking browsing history where you can be seen visiting cnn.com or even cbc.ca for your news and not some left-wing conspiracy websites. The only caveat with the 'normie' method is that you will need to access your more controversial/sensitive files at some later stage, so this could mean logging into Dropbox and then downloading an encrypted Veracrypt container onto your machine and proceeding to work with those files in the privacy of your hotel/where-ever.

His paragraph about jobs is spot on. I've seen this in my own workplace on a team that is 75% contractors and 25% full time employees. Contractors are seen as completely replaceable, and if one leaves they'll be replaced with another one after a quick round of interviews. However, if a full time employee leaves, the process to replace them seems to take much longer as it appears that those doing the hiring are looking for The Superstar. I'm not sure how to fix this, or if it's even possible to fix.
We really need numerical estimates, even bad ones, of the number of lives saved versus cost for different levels of regulation in order to talk sensibly about all of this.
According to Neal deGrasse Tyson (source: his recent books and I think I've heard it on his YT channel too) it is quite possible that early Mars had better conditions for life than early Earth and that life could travel to Earth from there.

I really don't understand what the op is suggesting, asking for or complaining about. He's happy trading his privacy for services, but mad(?) that they don't give him arbitrary access in the form he wants, but understands that its their product, but wishes they would anyway, but knows that a business never would, but wouldn't it be cool?

Plus the awesomeness of these ideas is debatable (trade even more data, tracking and privacy for neat feature) and by his own admission the product idea is the easy part of building a business, thus not really startups.

The difference is that an organic cause has been found for sleeping sickness. Also, patients don't recover after psychological therapies, as they do with CFS. It's important to be open-minded to all etiologies.

And I never said it was "primarily mental". I think it is primarily stress, which can cause mental symptoms (but not always).

Doesn't almost everybody receive x-ray, ultrasonography, abdominal palpation, stethoscopy, ECG or surgery today? Does it happen often that a person grows up never ever examined by a doctor closely?
Create a spreadsheet of possible illnesses that cause the symptoms you have, and start working through what testing needs to be done to exclude them. A number you may be able to exclude off the bat because they don't fit well or you have recent testing from a physical that would exclude them (e.g. common cancers). Then working with your doctor to get tests to exclude the rest. Have you done a sed-rate test? (Often it is low <3 for ME/CFS, but normally nobody looks at it in that direction, they only look for it being a marker of inflammation if its high.) Have you had a sleep study to rule out sleep apnea for example? Have you checked yourself for orthostatic intolerance or POTS? (Easy to do with a pulse oximeter at home before worrying about official tests.) And so on. You'll find plenty of information at me-pedia to help you along the path of a differential diagnosis.
This can also be an argument for the market being too different and so justifying their choice.
It does not matter. However hard you "prefer" the value of pi to be 3, it will stay an irrational number. Eight-space tabs are a constant of the universe.
It's also true in so far that for some reason[0], people still think of building software like of an assembly-line process, which is wrong. Programmers are seen as construction workers, which is a wrong analogy; it's probably a cliché at this point to mention that in building analogy, the compiler is the construction workers; programmers are the people drawing up the blueprints. At the blueprint level, you have some level of back&forth between designers, architects, structural engineers, electrical engineers, plumbers, fire safety people, etc.

Building software is like that. It's a high-dimensional optimization process in which all those concerns like UX, security, accessibility, etc. are each a dimension, and in which you initially only know the rough shape of the terrain, so you have to walk it to discover its features. Or, to use a different analogy - software isn't like assembling a car toy on a factory line. Building software is like everything that happens in between the CEO saying "we need to build a toy car" and the factory getting the BOM and designs.

"Canvas defender" style features very often produce false positives (code unrelated to tracking that gets blocked anyway because it's hard to distinguish). You'd have to show the code that produced it for this "fun fact" to have any relevance.

If it can, sounds like a loophole to get a case you're working on thrown out. If it cannot, sounds like a convenient way to gain extra leverage.

Also, as a rule of thumb: the more rarely something is used, the more descriptive its name needs to be. If something is used often in some code, terseness is more forgivable and even desirable in many cases.

A great example of this is "i" as a standard indexer, or "x" and "y" as horizontal and vertical coordinates. They are used often therefore terseness can be applied and is useful. Also why "KV" is often used to be mean key-value, the concept is just very pervasive. The terseness for variable names in the linked to code seems more acceptable because those variables of consistency and repeated usage.

The 5 Why's.... I try it to the extreme... just ask why until people explain the actual issue.
"-Normal distributions come from multifactorial situations, where many variables matter.
-In a world governed by scarcity, our decisions and preferences tend to be multifactorial in nature.
-In a world governed by abundance, on the other hand, our decisions are no longer multifactorial. They tend to be dominated by one factor above all others: either X matters to you, or it doesn’t."

I'm more curious as to _why_ our decisions become dominated by one factor as we approach abundance. It almost seems counter-intuitive: in a world of abundance, wouldn't there be more things we could afford to care about? In a world of scarcity, wouldn't your decision be based mostly by just "does it do what I want it to do"?

Maybe we're just lazy. Maybe it's the other way around: in a world of abundance, we can _afford_ to be _lazy_ and not care about nearly as much, and instead focus on singular values.

In either case, I'm not convinced that decision distribution is a function of scarcity/abundance, but rather some other factor, of which scarcity/abundance contributes to.
It’s because of drivers not because of app.
> The theory states that the two surfaces are not disjoint

Yes, but that just underscores my point that one surface can only have one metric.

> But if the surface has two sides, can it not?

No. You can describe the one curvature in two different ways, depending on which side you choose as your viewpoint. But it's still just one surface and one curvature, not two.
Same. Forcing the user to navigate to an external page breaks my UX in so many ways. The migration for me is more than just implementing the new checkout, it's a refactor for the UX and upgrade flow that I would rather avoid.

I think that for each situation there could be many explanations, and one would have to assess the probability of all of them happening and then decide based upon such an assessment - finally choose the most probable and easily achievable.

>>first situation

> I wonder if it's possible that you saw multiple satellites at once moving in the sky?

I have a sketch of what I saw from that period, but it does not have enough details to investigate it now. I would not like to discuss based on false personal memory after such a long time.

Still, I could add (out of my memory of what I saw) is that the lights (stars) were in a long rectangular (or cylindrical) formation, were brighter than the rest of the lights in the night sky (brighter than the rest of the stars). They all moved together in sync (imagine looking at a train painted nonreflective black with randomly dispersed luminiscent dots all over it, they will all move in the same direction and with same speed). I was in central Europe and was looking towards south-west, the objects were moving from the south-west part of the sky towards the south part of the sky.

I don't think that there is big enough probability of having that many satellites in a rather narrow patch of the sky (they can't be on the same orbit, so they would have to be on 100 different orbits and still look to be in the same place and appear as to being part of a big formation).

I think that some optical phenomena would be a better explanation of what I saw. Maybe we were looking at a projection of many starts - but projected from where and how.

Most simple and believable explanation is many airplanes flying in a formation.

>>second situation

>I wonder if a meteor could bounce when it hits a denser part of the atmosphere and change direction a bit, and maybe it was only the angle you were seeing it from that made the change in direction look as extreme as 90 degrees?

Optics (refraction, reflection and parallax effects) can explain such a thing if there was some barrier which was met by the object or was introduced on the line of sight between me and the object.

If if was a meteor (which most of the time you don't see until it hits the atmosphere and starts burning) then it would lightup even more upon hitting something. Plus meteors usually have a trail, which i did not see.

The speed must have been immense, since it crossed the sky in a mere instant. I would expect an even bigger flame and trail with such speed.

I can't recall if it was completely dark at that moment or shortly after sunset, but it was in the evening and I was looking to north - northwest, and the object appeared from the west part of the sky, and exit on the north part of the sky, after changing direction (so it was moving from west to north in the begining and then changed north). This are all aprox directions, just to have it illustrated.
