This is not my experience. In The Netherlands green LED's are applied more and more often for streetlighting in rural areas and surveillance of building construction sites (light pole + camera).

First time encounter takes some getting used to, because we are so familiar with orange Sodium hue. But I find they make the night landscape more peaceful and serene looking.

Green spectrum is perfect for the human eye. You see more detail and sharper focus, seems to me (compared to orange). Apparently its also good for nature. Not only to insects, but also birds not getting distracted.
In all seriousness, the profs can choose to do what they want and the system most certainly can choose to allow it or not.

This is absolutely an example of rigid bureaucracy at work.

Also, you now are eligible for grade changes in past English classes because you used the word "can't" figuratively to describe a literal situation. Whether the grade changes occur and if they go up or down is up to the systems maintaining the grades and the teachers.

There certainly were non card size printers - but they scaled linearly with technology

But no we didn't repurpose card punches to be terminals, but we did need terminals to edit card images (fortran was 72 characters plus 8 digits of sequence numbers)
I am not touching their private APIs, and I am not automating posting by letting people spam-fill an account — every single post going out over my system has to be planned by a real person, and the only thing I am helping them with, is to avoid sharing their Instagram password between 3 people in 3 different offices on partly private and partly corporate phones, just so that they can all post to the same account.

That said, they threatened to sue me because my first product name had the word "gram" in it.
That's exactly the problem that the article is talking about and it's so commonplace that there are quite a few running jokes about it, TVTropes being a common one.
Lots of mention of Brexit in this article, and not many mentions of the fact that the owners of Wrightbus were pumping huge amounts of money into religious organizations, as well as giving themselves large bonuses while _at the same time_ laying people off and declaring large losses.

I'm not saying that business owners should not be allowed to donate to religious groups, but when the donations in a given year are greater than the amount of money the company is losing, there is something seriously wrong.

We had a similar app in Kathmandu. City cut of power to certain zones on an hourly basis, the app helped tracked the powers eventual return and pending cutoff. The amount of activity in the neighborhood when the power comes back on, screams of Batti Aiyo could be heard all around. Turns out it was entirely preventable and that it was all due to an enormous amount of corruption between the Nepalese Energy authority and factories around the country. One guy came into the authority and changed it all for the better and brought all the corruption into the open. Definitely made living here just that much easier.

Uurgh, dude - it's not the emotional healing that puts scientifically-minded people off, it's Bruce Lipton's language.

"The subconscious mind is operating at a vibrational frequency of theta". What? That's the kind of nonsense I get from the stoners down in my local pub.

If his techniques work, they work, and I'm happy for you that you have improved your life. I, however, find such language so off-putting that I can't imagine ever trying anything like this
LocalStorage: in the sense I'm talking about, they already do, see https://caniuse.com/#search=localstorage

If anything a web page is more secure than a native app: they can't even request wider access to the local filesystem (there is the FileSystem API in Chrome, but IIRC that has little traction elsewhere and can only operate on files specifically selected by the user rather than being able to randomly trawl around your everything). Definitely more secure than an app on the desktop, which most of the time runs as you and can do anything to your files that any other app running as you can do.

Bluetooth: I've not looked into it in detail (a quick search finds https://medium.com/@jyasskin/the-web-bluetooth-security-mode... amongst other relevant looking articles, but I don't have time to go through them right now) though I find it hard to imagine this similarly would be any less secure than a native mobile app having access to Bluetooth as the web page is going to have to ask for permission to use the API then you need to pair it with the target device.
Jim Keller moving between companies is the real tick-tock cycle.
He said that he'd make ~2x at the NSA as what he'd make in an equivalent private sector job, so it seems that way.

There is also good reason to assume that if e.g. you make your own Feistel cipher out of existing cryptographic primitives without caring too much about performance, then it will be secure enough against state actors.
>>

The key is "your own"

By "public" I don't mean that their spec is "published" but that their implementation is open source and has various 3rd party contributions and dependencies, as is the case with most OSS.

So if you build your own, and it's good against the NSA, they'd come after you if they have to, unless it costs them less to crack it.

I agree ultimately with your assessment that side channel attacks make this whole discussion moot. But my original point was and still is: nothing is secure against a determined and well resourced adversary. So people out there shouldn't get the wrong idea that cryptography is an invisibility cloak or some such
Statistics is incredibly hard and unintuitive, and if you understand statistics, it might be hard to understand that the majority of people absolutely don't.

I get that if all cars were self-driving, and the error rate of the self-driving system was half of the average human error rate, it would be better for humanity.

But if the errors of those self-driving cars would be obviously avoidable for a human, the absolute majority of people would never ever ever in a million years trust that system. It's a complete fucking no-go. Most people would much rather take shittier odds, if the failures are human, than better odds, but where the failures are alien and bizarre. Most people would automatically think that that risk is worse.

I would probably too, even though I understand the statistics.

It's the same reason people are afraid of flying, even though it's much, much safer than driving a car.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but I haven't been able to find a source for this - only mentions of a new datacenter in China. A citation would be nice.

"The drastic fall of Sterling, as well as the uncertainty over future trading arrangements with the European Union, have increased both present costs and future risks for the firm. This has made it increasingly hard to win contracts outside of the UK."

At the end of the day businesses have higher costs or are leaving the UK because of Brexit.

There's no point denying the reality. Nobody can argue that right at this moment Brexit is driving business success.

Bank of America spent $400 million to relocate from UK to Ireland. [1] for example. And they're not coming back.

They do. The issue may be that references don't support pointer arithmetic – that is, given `x: &u32` you cannot get `x[1]`. The normal approach is to use a reference to a slice, `x: &[u32]`, and the default bounds-checked indexing. Rust does let you do unchecked indexing on slices (with `unsafe`), but it may be more efficient to avoid indices entirely in favor of pointer arithmetic. LLVM can often optimize index calculations into pointer arithmetic, but not always.

Edit: Although, on rereading the above post, I see diamondlovesyou did mention indices, so... not really sure what's going on.

Side note on these CPUs.

We are one step/generation away from running BGP IPv4 routing in PC CPU L3 cache."256MB L3 cache." I believe one needs 512MB L3 cache to fit the current routing tables in cache enabling very fast route lookups on generic PC hardware.
If you’re doing fiddly numerical work, this must definitely be optional, as swapping separate multiplication and addition for FMA (or vice versa) can compromise correctness. In some cases you need two different algorithms if FMA is present or absent.

A warrant canary is utterly useless as a defense.
Any secret legal order to alter IT systems (the specific threat model it is most often suggested for) can logically also include an order to maintain a fake warrant canary.
This is stark reminder that we should not take our privileges for granted. We don't think about continuous stream of power through our plugs as a privilege (or at all) but it's not trivial, considering so many might have the latest macbook but not always the power to run it (and to even more people the idea of owning a computer is on the same level as flying to Jupiter).
True. I should have explained that better. If you're accessing an array, you'll have to do the pointer offset-ing yourself (otherwise you're using a slice and all the checking that entails). Thus, you can't use a reference type, because reference types don't have `<*const T>::add` like pointers do (also, `&T as usize` is invalid; you have to go through a pointer type first). I suppose I assumed you'd be accessing an array/slice; references otherwise are fine.

> Both matter, but telemetry is something you can trust far more than user feedback.

Disagree. User feedback, however biased or incoherent, is a direct representation of real people with real issues. Telemetry is a stream of context-free data from which you need to infer the hidden user feedback. Telemetry data seems to me to be much more prone to finding in it whatever it is that you want to find, or all the other failure modes that happen when people who analyze it have more skills in statistical tools than in doing science.

> Compared to direct user feedback where a user might use some functionality twice a year, but rank it high as something that needs to be improved because it's sort of backwards. Instead of improving the performance and flow of the functionality they use hundreds of times daily, because they're reasonably happy with how it works.

And all I want, all my life when using software, is for companies to fucking listen to that. If I say I'm reasonably happy with things I spend 95% of my time, then I am reasonably happy. I want you to fix the 5%-time case.

There's no direct relationship between how often you use a feature and how critical it is. To give a simplified example, when I'm using 3D Studio Max, 99% of my time is spent modelling, and only 1% (or less) is spent on saving the file. And yet, without that feature, I wouldn't even buy the program. This is of course a silly example, but most software has plenty of very important features executed very rarely (and some that are executed rarely because the experience sucks). Relying only on naive telemetry analysis is going to lead you to misprioritizing work on improving the product.
I don’t see how making it harder to dump the firmware makes the platform any more secure. Determined attackers will get in anyways and you’ll lose out on people who are interested in poking around.

What kind of workload do you run that relies on hardware? I mean you mention, you use VMware anyway.
Don't go down this road.

The moment you place corporate needs ahead of user needs is the moment you start losing user advocates (UAs). New features are shiny objects that may attract interest, but UAs are your long-term lifeblood. They don't just use your product, they recommend it to friends, teams, bosses, and organizations.

I'm not going to be as pessimistic as others in this thread bc I know you guys have what it takes to do the right thing. But know that a tide change has occurred when it comes to privacy and data, and technical folks are keenly aware of the importance of protecting both.

I don’t really think this is true.

For me, the reason I can't seem to be able to get started with electronics is that I know I have a much smaller scope of where I can take the project from the start. If you build something good, but it looks home-made, it will be perceived as cute, not cool. Manufacturing is what makes or breaks this. But paying for expensive equipment or outsourcing manufacturing is not feasible for hobby projects. In software, I can make a hobby site people will mistake for a real product, and if it by chance takes off, it is easier to make it into one. Making toys which look like real products is easy in software, that's what SV seems to be all about. In hardware, I feel like this is much more difficult to do. And that's discouraging, even though I know it should not be, because the learning experience alone is worth it.

The last year I worked hard on launching my first production project, Advanced Scheduler. It is an Heroku add-on providing task scheduling as a service with an increasing number of higher value services on top. It aims to be more flexible, reliable and easy to use than existing solitions. The beta phase has just ended and it is now generally available on the Heroku Marketplace:

I'd love feedback and suggestions on how to make it better. Thanks!

People should go back to understanding the difference between a public service (i.e. operated by the people for the sake of the people) and a private company (i.e. operated by some people for their sake).

"We know the virus is changing quite a lot. That's important for diagnosing (new cases) and for treatment. We need to know how the virus (is changing) to keep up with our enemy." [0]

In 2014, while Liberia battled it's new enemy, the Ebola virus, I battled mine - Debilitating Anxiety. It had brought me to my knees, and I was angry and fed up. Two months before reading that quote, I had been thinking about "lasting change", "radical self-transformation", but just didn't know how to go about it. Change! change! change! That's all i thought about.

I was following the news on the Ebola crises when i read the article and saw the quote. It got me thinking, and i immediately knew what i had to do to change myself. I knew viruses evolved, but i had never deeply thought about how it worked. Like me, this 'nasty' organism simply wanted to survive. I guessed that to change itself, it had to have low level access to the workings of it's internal structures. What if i could also do that? The more i thought i about it, the more i got convinced that it was a path worth exploring. And that's i began hacking my body through yoga and meditation.

It was a very solitary practice for me as most of the people around me ( mostly religious christian folks ) considered it wired and 'demonic'. I did a lot of googling, and read books ("The body keeps the score" included) and I am happy that i had the insight to be patient and give it time. I don't know if my healing and transformation would have happened faster if i had seen a professional, but on hindsight I think my relationships, physical well being, mental health and career are in a better place now because i gave it time.

Yeah, state tv will reflect the quality of your state. But I doubt private media with comparable coverage does much better: if your state is corrupting state media it isn't likely to let significant private actors be.
