Okiedokie. That sounds like catnip to me, so please do. Happy to sign (non-silly) mNDAs if that helps.

Probably the most useful thing for me to know is: what's the algorithm for signing a URL? If everything uses a manifest API, can you just make that a random token instead of a signature, and store that token in a database somewhere with an expiry?

The law changed to allow the government to indefinitely detain American citizens without charge or trial under a republican administration. When its sunset came, the power was affirmed by a democrat.

Are you assuming here that Equifax could absorb any size of fine?

Also, you seem to be OK with the idea that any company that gets hacked could be fined $5 billion. As being unhackable is an unachievable standard, that effectively means the FTC could bankrupt almost any company on a whim. That would be huge power in their hands and would not magically stop exploits from happening.

I think there's a big question about whether Equifax should have been fined at all. It would appear to either require mass inconsistency by regulators, or would put most US companies that rely on IT out of business.

That doesn't make sense. You aren't getting lower food prices at all if you are obligated to tip. Rather, the actual prices of restaurant food items are just undermarked by 15-20% of their actual cost.
Re "ski resorts", sure, the money shouldn't have come from the MTA, and it's another example of Albany bleeding the city. But Whiteface is (1) state owned, and (2) absolutely critical to the economy in the north country. Cuomo's a shit, but when you say ski resorts like that it's going to mislead people who don't know the region. We're not talking about Snowbird here.
No China infrastructure project is laden with just different kind of political strings. In US the system has to impress up on voters, unions, donors etc. In China the hogs at the trough are just different.
I would say the opposite, service in most other countries is better than the US.
We will be able to explain and understand consciousness in objective terms 1 second after the first person achieves flight by pulling themselves into the air with the bucket they are standing in. About 5 seconds after a computer can run a 100% simulation of itself running a 100% simulation of itself. A whole minute after someone writes a program that can tell if/when any other programs will stop running.

As a question that's dogged us for thousands of years, maybe its time to accept its just a shitty question.
We use Okta where I work but we are allowed to install Okta Verify without installing the MDM profile.

If we want to do work email on our phone, we do have to submit to MDM. 99% of the employees I know refused to allow MDM on their personal phone, and the company was OK with that. They made a few managers carry work issued 2nd phones.

We also use Slack and are allowed to use that without MDM so that works for a lot of us.

My wife has to carry a 2nd phone for work, she's got 2 iPhones and it's very annoying, but preserves the separation.

This is strictly for the case where the file has never been saved, and doesn’t exist on disk.

Cancel always cancels the action, allowing you to continue working with it. Save saves, obviously. “Don’t Save” means “continue the user action, which was closing the window, which closes the unsaved file, deleting the contents in memory”. “Delete” does a better job of capturing the consequences of the action here.
In order to understand Kant, first read David Hume's Essay Concerning Human Understanding. Kant's major ideas are entirely a response to this essay (we English-speakers are lucky to have this crucial piece of the Enlightenment in our native tongue). Hume argues that cause and effect are entirely empirical concepts, which has the implication that we can't actually talk about "eternal laws of nature" with any sense. Kant wrote The Critique of Pure Reason and his subsequent critiques in the trilogy to argue that the laws of nature are laws because they are the laws of our ability to experience subjectivity at all. The Critique is very dense and technically written and the English translations do little to abate this. I would recommend reading it with a companion commentary text though unfortunately that wasn't the path I'd taken so I can't pick out a specific one.

Yes! The hard realization, which pulled me into more normal programming despite a passion for games, was that game development is a passion career. I already had enough dealings with that with considering being an orchestral performer. Anything in entertainment is always highly boom or bust, and highly intense and stressful even for those who make it.

Edit: of course that doesn't justify the terrible conditions or the way people leverage the situation because they know these people would do this kind of work for free if they had to. I think the answer, as musicians always bring up, is friends don't let friends work for free. It's not okay to work for less than your talent is worth just because you love it.
The USA is purging intellectuals as well through outrage culture, online mobs, and the weaponization of political correctness. Both the far right and far left do it routinely to their advantage, they both seem to think the ends justify the means. Whoever has the loudest megaphone and can effectively stir up a sufficiently large outrage mob is the winner. Facts do not matter, evidence can be deemed "offensive" and is immediately discarded, there is no room for nuance, opinions must conform to group-think, and attempts at humor is often the worst offense of all. Anything can and will be taken out of context. Their intention is to harm, destroy, cleanse the culture and ideology into acceptable thought. Careers are ruined, achievements are discarded, lives are destroyed, names are slandered.

That this type of behavior has been recently normalized, encouraged, and incentivized by both the far right and far left in the USA is a very disturbing trend. Historically this has never worked out well, so let's hope it all stops sooner than later.
I love this thing, but I would really like for it work on an iPad. I am not much of a GPU person, so I will ask; is the iPad not powerful enough or is this just a choice of the author?
That's hardly the takeaway from this article.

The article talks about academics being persecuted.

In Turkey the state took jobs and freedom of mobility away from those with ideologies that the regime did not favor.

Good point. To look for authoritarianism, look for powerful organizations and people taking away jobs and economic security from "those with ideologies the regime did not favor." It works for more types of organizations than just the state.
The problem is that you may not be able to decrypt it.

It's like finding some footage that you drove into and out of a place where there was a murdered body during the same time that the body went missing. That's circumstantial evidence you might have moved it, and it might convince a judge to issue a warrant and have the police search your residence for evidence. But if they can't find anything it's not reasonable to charge you with destruction of evidence for not producing the body, because they haven't proved beyond a reasonable doubt that you could have.

People forget passwords all the time. Sometimes the police find the phone of somebody else who left it in your car and you didn't even realize it was there, and now you think they planted it and they think you won't unlock it, and the person who knows their phone is missing would rather see you in jail than claim the phone and end up there themselves. Higher level paranoia security systems can make unused space indistinguishable from encrypted data, or send cover traffic when there is no real traffic, and there is no way to decrypt it because it's not actually encrypted data to begin with.

There is no way to prove you can't decrypt something which means it's unreasonable to demand that somebody do it when they may not be able to.
Not including the word "warrant" is exactly why I thought your problem was with warrants specifically.

From you original comment:

>The fourth amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees that the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and the ninth amendment to the Constitution guarantees that the people retain un-enumerated rights. I, as a citizen of the United States, maintain that one of those unenumerated rights is my right to employ technological defenses against government overreach.

I read two ways to interpret that:

- "Government overreach" is to include even searches authorized by a warrant in which case you are defending unrestricted use of encryption.

- "Government overreach" is to only include warrantless searches in which cause you are only defending using encryption in a manner in which a warrant can break the encryption.

Considering the second option is basically the government's position and the rest of your post seemed anti-government, I thought you were advocating for the first interpretation.
A family member in the DOT told me this as but one of many tales of woe.

Several hundred miles of an interstate were going to be rehabbed. There was a proven technique to redo the joints between the concrete slabs, which were in good shape. A contractor was hired to do a small number of miles as a test, but they had a learning curve. The first few joints that they redid were not done well, but they rapidly improved and the approach looked really good.

However, the state selected a different approach which required tearing up the road and redoing it. The excuse was those first few bad joints. There was also the unstated matter that the contractor favored by the state did not know how to do this technique.

The result was billions of wasted money to redo the road with an inferior material. That material failed within a few years, and they now need to redo it again.

And this is not just a cost issue. Its estimated that failure to adhere to known safer pavement designs is resulting in 10,000 - 15,000 unnecessary deaths a year.
Sorry, that was sarcasm. It turns out that after the investigation started, they saved all emails indefinitely. I'm pretty sure that it was due to something going on with the investigation, but I can't say for sure. It just seemed a little too coincidental that both occurred so close to each other and one right after the other. It might be too that the FBI requested this, because they said they were trying to "catch the other party involved" (not part of the company).
Multiply by 200 people and that's $5.4 million out the door every year.

It is not at all misleading to say that Cuomo made a unilateral decision to siphon funds that had already been earmarked for public transit towards a non-transit project that he had personal interests in.

With all the bright minds on hacker news i honestly think we could make this report ourselves.. I wonder if there are good sources for this info?

The trend for more people moving to cities would seem that everything is moving in the direction of making infrastructure projects at least in cities more reasonable for every passing year. So seems like a worthwhile effort.
There’s no discussion of how to build exceptional access encryption that solves the weakening issue, just that it “can’t be done”.

The spirit of this initiative in 2019 is likely more about stopping strong encryption at scale, which is certain to be a frustrating black hole for LEO and the IC.

Perhaps HN would do well to ask how to solve the problem from a technical perspective, given the requirements. This includes both how to build a better mousetrap (one that doesn’t have a “backdoor” or significantly weakens the encryption mechanism), and how to solve concerns about abuse of exceptional access.
Because he perceives the reason as being stupid, and so do I.
So firing 6,000 academics and restructuring and a single major university counts as a purge? I mean a great many places are laying off professors with Liberal Arts Degrees many more than 6,000. In modern day the focus is shifting away from those careers. Even if that is a bad thing it is still the truth of the matter. This just seems like its trying to push a ham-fisted narrative. I'm no fan of Erdogan but this seems like textbook attempt at Yellow Journalism.

I wouldn't repeatedly not tip just to avoid having my food tampered with, but if it's a one time order and you won't be dealing with the same person again, I see nothing wrong with not paying some nebulous amount you never agreed or were asked to pay.
You tip in the US because your only other personal alternative is hurting people who are in vulnerable jobs. It's not Stockholm syndrome, it's a hostage situation.
So "the “what it’s like” to be a conscious mind can be described in the purely relational, dispositional terms accessible to science"?

A common way to handle this when writing to people who aren't likely to expect an inline response is to put "Responses inline below:" at the very beginning, and then respond inline as usual.
I didn't get that "point" from your post. I was just trying to assert the oft-ignored type of person (I am not an aberration) that still likes coding, after a lifetime. Even when I am inevitably confined to a hospital bed, I will code in my head.

Do you have any evidence of this? Building HSR is expensive and takes a long time to do. Tracks and other infrastructure for HSR has to be a much higher standard than regular train infrastructure.
To me it seems obvious that any intelligent living thing that has some level of intelligence would be conscious... as in take in sensory data, is aware of it's environment, and can make decisions based on that.

But I would even argue that most living things above a certain neuron count are conscious. I think it's really flawed to assume that only we as humans have an awareness of self and are "conscious".

I don't see the distinction between my awareness of myself and my environment, and that of my dog for example. He is aware of himself, has ideas and acts on them, interacts with his world consciously. It's as if humans are grasping for some sort of uniqueness in nature. If you were a robot with sensors and cameras fed into a generally intelligent neural network. You wouldn't see a display of the data on a hud. You would be consciously immersed in the data. You would be the neural network. You would have an awareness of your environment, and you would be conscious of your existence in it.

I think consciousness is evolutionary. It allows living things to want to survive and preserve what they are. I think without consciousness a creature wouldn't have the strong drive for survival. In my opinion, it's what makes you long to continue your existence.

> These tools often allow administrators to pry into how the phone is used as well, retrieving call logs, SMS history, and in the most extreme cases, full logs of web browsing.

I doubt any of these (call logs, SMS, web history) are possible on iOS even with an MDM profile installed, unless it's call logs from the company's own VoIP app or web history from its own browser app. SMS? Nope. On Android all these are possible for any app that's given the permissions, even without MDM.

Can anyone who knows more validate or confirm the veracity of this claim in the article?

See it this way: we have to know what the bad guys are saying in order to be able to protect the public. The way I see it the US government (and governments around the world) will make this a non-negotiable objective. There's not a lot of pressure now because, as Barr said, the event that will turn the public against encryption hasn't arrived yet. If the parties involved don't find a solution in the meantime they'd be forced to weaken encryption for everyone when a catastrophe happens. The public is fickle. Our safety is paramount.
Apropos of anything else, the tower knows where it is, unless it's mobile. Having no backhaul doesn't mean it can't be broadcasting / used for location information. They also (almost) always come with their own battery backup / generator.

Clearly the step here was taken somewhere else...
> Sorry, being fast is an arbitrary requirement?

Yes. In all cases "being fast" is an arbitrary requirement, and a project lead or product manager should when hearing this requirement, interject and ask for a definition of "fast".

There are a thousand things at any company that could be done faster than they are. I could throw in eager caching or reindex data into aggregated documents in order to optimize that once-monthly report that takes an hour to generate, or I could automate the other once-monthly report that a group of folks assembles manually for each client. Which one is more valuable to work on? I could rewrite the server in Rust to get a 10ms response time speed up or I could work on the feature that will allow our sales team to be finally able to say "Yes, we do that" to the folks who previously turned us down due to feature parity. I don't live in a world where time is free, or where I can work on all of these things at the same time and still be done in the time it takes to do just one of them.

And all that additional logic and caching that could be added to improve the performance of some reports will be an increase of surface area for bugs and data discrepancies, and bring upon the team one of those hardest problems in computer science[1].

> But why bloat your DB with an index and potentially reduce insert performance for something that's almost never needed?

Oh, for crying out loud: will you please stop trotting out this tired nonsense.

This may have been a problem sometimes in the 80s and 90s. With any good modern RDBMS, say SQL Server 2017 (but you can pretty much pick any you like the look of[1]), and a half-competent developer and/or DBA, insert performance is almost never a problem when adding an index.

You generally need some extra storage space for the index, but so what?

I have seen, with surprising regularity over the years, tables with no indexes at all where adding a single clustered index (which is the table itself) can massively improve performance. In this scenario no additional storage is required.

[1] I pick SQL Server because I know Microsoft started seriously addressing insert performance, which had been a problem with SQL Server 6.5 and 7, in SQL Server 2000. Nowadays, if you're half-competent, there really is no issue worth talking about. If you're not it is, of course, still possible to do crazy things that don't perform well. All truly powerful programming languages, database systems, et al., will cheerfully hand you the rope you need to hang yourself.
