Check the archive.org link elsewhere in the thread. Seems like it was marketed like a remote admin tool for servers, not a stalking tool.

Unless they have a history of specifically targeting stalkers with their marketing and/or aiding stalkers or something else I hope the case gets thrown out.

Even then I hope the courts take a good look at this case.

Note: I'm not very happy about stalkers, but we should stick to the laws and not go after people without a good reason.
An article with a bit more details: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/law-enforceme...

From what I gleaned from that article, IM-RAT was publicly marketed as a remote management tool.

The article further states: "With the amount of reports of this tool being used for malware and the discussion on illegal forums, it would be very hard for the developer to argue that he did not know how the software was being used."

This seems pretty thin. Would the authors of say nmap be liable because people can/do use it for illegal purposes?

Assuming judges signed of on the raids and domain seizure, I sure hope there was evidence of actual criminal activity beyond what is mentioned in the media.
Collison strikes me as genuine and focused on actually solving problems. We are in desperately short supply of such people.
Definitely have a good bit of work done on that whiteboard I hear naming is one of the hardest problems in CS.
They also have the size and early mover status where they probably inked a pretty sweet deal to do that.
While I'm not very fond of the cultish commentaries, bashing them as soon as they announce their new venture isn't any better.

I think they have some merit and know a thing or two about computers.
I'm biased since I grew up in Chicago, but I think Chicago could have handled it fine with the endless farmland to develop with housing especially if the companies put their offices in high rises downtown as Chicago has double decker trains that go from the suburbs to downtown [0]. We also love high rise architecture so there are plenty of high rises to live in downtown if you want to.

I generally agree with the OP except that lumping QML into the old-school GUI techniques isn't a proper fit. Traditional Qt Widgets, yes, but QML is indeed not far from the React-style of GUI programming.
Intel (Quartus FPGA compiler) | Toronto, ON, Canada

Interested in working on algorithmically-complex C++ code to squeeze out every last bit of performance? Understanding the hardware as well as the software, and building a mission-critical tool used daily by digital circuit designers? Actually using advanced computer science knowledge outside of interviews and programming competitions to optimize graph-based algorithms simultaneously for runtime, memory, and quality of the resulting solution? Then working on Quartus, Intel's compiler for FPGAs, is for you.

You will work in a downtown Toronto location, with an amazing and diverse group of talented engineers, on some of the most intellectually challenging problems in the world, and your work will directly benefit areas like AI, telecommunications, healthcare, aerospace, finance and more.

I am looking to hire specifically for the Timing Analysis team, which is responsible for both a user-visible Timing Analysis tool (used by digital designers to analyze timing problems) and the highly-optimized internal timing engine, which responds to millions of requests during a typical circuit compilation.

Hardware/FPGA knowledge is not required. Ideally, I am looking for some combination of the following: (1) ability to reason about algorithms and code optimization, (2) experience writing well-crafted C++ code as part of a large codebase, and (3) a passion for usability / caring deeply about the customer experience. My colleagues are hiring for other roles. Canadian citizens or Permanent Residents preferred.

Please feel free to ask any questions here in comments, or send a resume to evgeny dot osovetsky at my company name dot com.
It’s not transferred. Once your accounts are linked, any movie that you purchase or redeem from one of the participating studios automatically shows up in all of your libraries as purchased.

Since it is only available in the US, I would suspect that it would be centered around US releases.

Even if Disney later shuts down Movies Anywhere, you’ve already “purchased” the movie according to Amazon/Apple/Google, etc. You can disconnect from Movies Anywhere once you sync the titles between services.
Privatize profits Socialize the consequences.
No, not really. Historically, weapons grade Pu has been produced in dedicated (graphite moderated) thermal reactors, not with fast breeders.

Fast breeders create Pu, yes, but the isotopic composition is poorly suited for weapons.
Well, the 3950X just launched, so there's a demand spike that's going to follow from that. But that aside these are sharing parts with the Epyc series. If AMD is getting volume orders for Epyc that is definitely going to take priority.

The allocation order is going to go enterprise first, system builders second, retail boxes a distant 3rd.

And you know how the 3 laws turned out in Asimov's world...

Seriously though, I don't think Asimov was being naive with his choice of laws and then showing how they were then subverted. I'm sure he was aware of things like Godel's proofs and the difficulties involved with fuzzy logic and AI.

Asimov kept his laws simple so they would work in a story, but was likely well-aware that real laws could be made more nuanced and that they inevitably would still fail in the ways he described.

Implementation is going to be very, very hard to get right, if at all possible.

That's how it's supposed to work. A country like Norway producing 100% green energy and having 100% coal or other non-renewables on the books is the system working as designed.

It means that countries who actually use non-renewables to power their grid effectively subsidize the Norwegian energy market and pay a fine for their own use.

It's amazing how common the misconception that this is somehow nefarious is. I encourage you to read up on some of the published material about energy certificates, certificates of origin etc.
In the other direction: flour tortillas in northern Mexico (someone from Mexico City will probably come and tell me burritos aren't really Mexican food; but they are, in places like Sonora).

Or beef in Brazil and Argentina. Or Dulce de Leche.

That bar is set very low, to be honest.

On the bright side, Rust is a Mozilla project thus thankfully the problem doesn't really apply.
They are not Draconian, they are in the ballpark of a blue state in the US.

If the progressives were willing to accept the Swiss laws in the US under the stipulation that they would never again be made more strict, the US gun owners should be thrilled.

Part of the problem is that US gun laws are often motivated by misunderstanding or spite rather than reason or compromise.

I imagine it's dependent on how the software is marketed. If you advertise it as a way to spy on others and steal passwords and banking logins, then it's pretty obvious it was built and sold with that intent. I imagine it becomes more grey if there are people who use it nefariously but you market it as a security analysts tool.

Also it seems like taking down the website stopped the software working. If it was centralised then there is a link between the theft of bank logins and the associated fraud directly to the website. Of course it might just be dialing in and checking the license as opposed to the website facilitating functionality.

Edit. Just seen an archived page for the tool, looks like a legitimate network access and monitoring tool. If that's the case then arresting the dev seems excessive. I did note that the page provided support, so I wonder if there was some entrapment along the lines of "how do I monitor for bank logins ?" Perhaps with enough info to make it clear the tool was being used to perform illegal activity, and that support is what fucked the dev?
I don't have a horse in this race, but should mention that PIA was losing a ton of money.
There is a reason some shows use non-union labor. Even if you had a programmer union, what’s to stop people hiring non-union programmers?
Argh, you couldn't just take the time to read the actual article.

"The ownership model in Verona is based on groups of objects, not like in Rust where it's based on a single object.
Currently downvoted but very valid point, ref the Sherlock tool posted the other day: it is not hard for me to imagine more bad uses for it than good, but that alone shouldn't make it illegal.

Same with guns.
Any company that openly advertises remote work as a benefit is going to discount your salary.

Imagine delivering a million dollar feature, working nights and weekends, but somehow it's discounted because of where you live?

Across the river from where I live the cost of living is 5% lower - if I happen to work from there, are the features I'm delivering magically worth 5% less?

According to companies like Buffer, Gitlab, Stichfix, the answer is yes.

Push back on these salary discounts and double down on the value you provide.

P.S. The are more remote opportunities out there than you realize. If there's a job that's a good fit for you, regardless of city, find the CTO or VP of Engineering on Linkedin, find their email on Hunter.io and directly ask if remote is a possibility. Sometimes they will say YES even though it wasn't openly advertised.

For the people that think this is legitimate software, this is not legitimate software. It is sold and encouraged as malware, used to blackmail girls (barely women) - that's what "cam capture" is for - keylogger, general malware, backconnect proxy, auto-start and persistence.

See https://unit42.paloaltonetworks.com/imminent-monitor-a-rat-d... for more details and screenshots/quotes of posts by the creator of the tool.

This is _not_ for server administration.

This is _not_ like PuTTY or Remote Desktop. This is like Blackshades or Orcus. It is malicious, only sold for malicious usage.
> Robots are used everywhere already. Everywhere.

As far as I know, robots are used in manufacturing, surgery, home cleaning gimmicks, and war.

Use of robots in war is already problematic, and seems to have greatly emboldened some countries to carry out campaigns of terror and assassination on other countries' territories. We really don't want the police to start on the same path.
Sentence-level data analytics?
If you take the animation out of the DOM-level code and put it in the CSS, doesn't that fix the issue? React then does not need to know about or control the animation and the browser just does what it does natively as things get added or removed from the DOM.
Housing in Tokyo is also built to have a useful lifespan of 30 years, so framing it as them being “new” lacks background information.
By 'everywhere', you mean war zones. I don't have Predator drones flying over my head, and I want to keep it that way.
Wait, was this the reason the cybertruck had a glass breaking demo?
Sometimes, though, getting noticed is the hardest challenge a company can face. In these companies, name brand recognition is worth more than a billion dollars of funding. Kylie Cosmetics is just one example.

Just read the research. And I didn't say the UK existed, I said the market existed across the UK (if you read the research, you would know that price integration has been proved across medieval England, Wales, and Scotland i.e. what is the UK today).

And yes, but neither the Javanese or the Maori grew grain (the Maori were still nomadic in this period, growing grain would have made no sense). Again: the integration has been proved for the grain markets that existed around Western Europe, the Baltic regions (and Asia if you consider Russia in this period), north Africa, and the Levant i.e. the global grain market that existed in medieval periods. No, this doesn't include China, where there was substantial internal trade in this period, but this doesn't seem to be a huge difference.

This is a very urban viewpoint. There are millions of people in rural areas who can't afford to buy a home as well. Cheap mortgages are a huge factor,I agree with that.

I think city policies are a problem but nowhere near 100%. Banks and cheap risk free lending massively dwarf the impact of city policy.
I suspect the marketing materials on other websites give it a different purpose. It's pretty common with this type of software to have a clean website for paypal, but to then be telling people on forums or support chats exactly how to infect unsuspecting people with it.

My summary:

1. They believe there will be a shift back to on-prem, due to cost, improved security & latency.

2. They can take commodity hardware designs ( Open Compute Project ) and add their own software for manageability.

3. They are big on values, because in the past Bryan got a bit of a rep for being a bit hard to work with.
( eg https://blog.valerieaurora.org/2016/10/22/why-i-wont-be-atte... )

1. I'm seeing this in big companies - cloud can be an expensive option if you are generating your own data on-prem. While the economics might change, security and latency issues won't so easily. Also cloud is a big risk in that realistically what is your migration cost to another provider? If that's high, that's how much your cloud vendor can gouge you before you move ( I like to call that the Oracle business model ).

2. Don't know about the hardware, but those guys have a track record on systems software and Bryan was involved in building similar stuff before in the storage space ( http://www.oracle.com/us/products/servers-storage/zfs-storag... )

3. He is definitely older, perhaps he is wiser.
Office gives you an environment where you can meet people that you can be friends with. Something a bar/coffee shop..etc, cannot provide easily. My dearest friends are my coworkers. I have been working remotely for two months now and even though it's a great experience, I miss the occasional chit-chat or coffee. I still do that after work, it's just harder.

Suicide usually involves sevee depression and such a lack of motivation that opening every blister packs to overdose is a deterrant. It is very different from a desire to spree kill.

Besides if we deal with this low probability extremes shouldn't we factor in early blooming girls who kill themselves after being bullied and shamed over carrying their feminine products without any privacy?
