I frequently see an interesting project posted on hackaday, then a few days later it has gone 'viral' on engadget, lifehacker, hn, ars etc...
Nah. It looks to me like splinter "Anonymous" groups are arising- like 'cells.' The guys involved in, say, the Iran website takedown or that security expert embarrassment operation (name escapes me) may not be involved in this at all. Just my guess, mind you.
I don't think it's impossible, this seems like the kind of cultural change that is just an extension of the changes that have happened and are happening.
Evernote does :-)
But they CAN get jobs (well, in theory, prevailing market conditions aside). Not everyone is supposed to be an entrepreneur, but those that try gain valuable skills they can apply elsewhere, even if it doesn't work out.
Hmm, some purebred dogs yes. They can have quite awful lives because of genetic diseases. But domestication, besides the fact it was done by our pre-human ancestors, is not the same. Modern thinking sees the domestication of dogs more as a co-evolution of humans and dogs.

The question should be whether dedicated hardware for accelerated crypto will be worth it when GPU offload is suitable for it.

Although in that particular context (security) you might enjoy the isolation of dedicated hardware as opposed to sharing it with others. The GPU solution though of course has the advantage of being able to adapt to new ciphers etc.

Yes, this is what you need to do.

This file is located on the initrd on the boot image, however, so you have to pull the boot image, split it, extract the initrd, change the uevent file, repack it, and flash it.

I've done that, and it sticks on boot now.
A 10 week exploration into D3
You're over-thinking this, and projecting motives onto an organization of pediatricians that you can't possibly prove.

Their audience here is a general one, especially parents. They are not using "only" to make some kind of absolute claim about human nature. The point is that it's commonly accepted (and supported by research) that hitting your children is unhelpful to them and doesn't work well.
Just because human brains are not wired to understand exponential growth doesn't mean you can't understand it. I'm talking about human intuition.

I understand the problems inherent in translation. But again, I still feel it's possible to have instant translation within 10 years. The only way to find out is to wait and see. I'll give you a dollar if I'm wrong in 2023.
I think things will be a bit similar to the setting of the 2003 film Code 46 w/ Tim Robbins.

"It is the not-too-distant future. The population is divided between those who live "inside", in high-density cities physically separated from "outside", where a poor underclass live. Access to and travel between the cities is highly restricted, and regulated through the use of health cover documents, known as "papelles" in the global pidgin language of the day (which comprises elements of English, Spanish, French, Arabic, Italian, Farsi and Mandarin).

Most residents of the cities venture outside at night and remain indoors during the day, as direct sunlight has come to be thought of as hazardous to their health. However, many residents inside and outside the cities still work and venture outdoors during the daytime hours (as seen on multiple occasions throughout the film). The form of government appears to be authoritarian in nature and at least somewhat dystopian. Society is regulated by various "codes". The eponymous code of the movie title prohibits "genetically incestuous reproduction", which may occur as a result of the various medical technologies which have become commonplace, such as cloning."
This is a pretty serious security risk and it's highly recommended to make yourself immune ASAP. This is the kind of exploit that can go viral very quickly in Google Play and the results of a malicious process with root access can be very severe.

If your device is rooted, here is a very simple app that will let you toggle world-access permissions to the file and secure your device (until a true fix is released)

Nice to see another one of my 30x500 alumni rocking the HN charts. With great, solid advice. Congrats, Paul. Great post.
Fantastic stuff - this is definitely worth a look.
I'd like to meet one middle class person who's not on a big company's premium plan tell me otherwise.

Happy to oblige. I recently looked into this before I quit my job four months ago to spend some time working on hobby projects. So here's the situation as I understood it: (a) There is a law called COBRA which says after you've quit your job the insurance company has to keep you on the same plan you had for the next 18 months (36 months in California), with the same rates your employer was paying, (b) There is a law called HIPAA which says that after you've used up all COBRA the insurance company has to give you coverage regardless of any preexisting conditions, as long as the gap in your coverage was below (I think) 60 days. So someone in my situation (middle class person not on a big company's plan, as you asked) there is no gain from the healthcare reform. Also, while this was not immediately relevant to my situation, I think that (in CA at least) the insurance company cannot deny you coverage based on the preexisting condition if you're below certain age (19 years old I think?). So as long as you've either gotten the coverage below that age or had a job with a group plan at any point later in your life, and had no gaps in coverage since, you are fine.

I'm not at all against the healthcare reform, but I suspect that most of the time when people complain about the healthcare situation in the US they just don't know the facts. I also suspect that in many cases when people share their health insurance horror stories, there is something they're not telling you. Like that they had a gap in coverage. Or that they had to take a job because they needed steady income, and saying it was because of health coverage has a better ring to it.
Vagrant just allows you to automate setting up virtualbox and running chef inside a vm. You can do the same pretty trivially yourself but why bother when vagrant works.

Where vagrant kinda sucks is when you're using libraries + 'smart' IDEs. I.e you develop locally in eclipse with a maven repo on the VM, or you develop in a python IDE like pycharm with the virtual environment running on the vm. You either have to share 'em from one to the other (which is slow and pretty problematic) or try to keep them in sync (which is also slow and defeats some of the benefit of the automagic dev environment).

IMO, developers benefit from setting up and understanding how their environments work. Make it quick and easy but don't hide it behind an abstraction layer.
Niches aren't markets, they're demographics… statement of facts, essentially, which may be incidental or immaterial. A job title doesn't tell you about beliefs, aspirations, willingness to pay for things, sense of community, etc.

Do dog walkers hang out together online in a place you can identify? If not, how will you learn about them in a way that's natural & not manipulated by their feeling of social obligation or desire to be nice to you and positive about your ideas?

Do they hang out together? Do they talk to each other? Do they spread information on products they love, do they help each other and recommend things? Do they care about being better dog walkers, saving time or money?

If not, they share demographics in common, but they're not a market in the sense that I teach in my class.

For a niche to be a bonafide market, for the purposes of creating & selling a product, there needs to be a solid segment which thinks and behaves in the same (pro-commerce) ways.
Has hate speech ever affected you? Does it even have the potential to?
Another reason why shrinking population won't magically solve Japan's problems is that they'll have smaller and smaller numbers of working-age people supporting larger and larger numbers of retirees, leaving the younger people even less money to spend on themselves and their children.

This is the same problem that's looming for the Social Security system in the U.S., and probably in most developed countries, as average lifespans increase. (A much smaller percentage of people actually lived to retirement age when the Social Security system was first created.) But this problem will hit Japan first due to their low birth rate.
Adapting/implementing the newest and hottest cipher on the block is not something that the crypto community advocates. Do you really think crypto accelerated hardware is going to fall behind and not support the ciphers that the crypto community (academia/industry) endorses?
I'm so glad you decided to reach out - that is very brave even when done anonymously because you don't know what the response will be. I'm particularly impressed at this choice because of your childhood abuse making it so much harder to trust other human beings. I have also had extensive childhood abuse (neglect, emotional, physical, sexual) and have been diagnosed with severe PTSD. This includes depression, anxiety, and a lot of unhealthy behaviors that are hard to change. I've made a lot of progress over the last year (after many years of suffering silently) so I have hope for you too.

I am speaking to the abuse piece because very few people have talked about that (perhaps even more of a taboo subject than depression). Lots of great advice here (mixed in with a few who don't get the difficulty you face). My best advice is (1) never give up - if you keep trying different things, eventually you will find the right combination of things that work for you. (2) don't blame yourself for where you are at - horrible people / situations completely beyond your control brought you to this point in your life. And good news, you are an adult now, and there are actually helpful caring loving people who can help you heal. It is really good news that you survived and found a way to be successful against all odds. You are stronger than you think you are. You can make decisions now to help yourself even though as a child you could not. There is hope for change because you have lots of resources (including many offered here and within yourself) to change your circumstances. I know you are on a long hard road - just as I am. But, healing is possible for you.

I have quite an extensive list of things I've tried and am a really good listener so I'll send you an email in case you want to talk.

Two things to mention: find another therapist who perhaps does another kind of therapy all together (instead of CBT - which is probably what you are doing), try insight oriented, DBT, brainspotting (my favorite - similar to EMDR), meditation, body work, trauma exposure therapy). Be bold and ask your therapist for a change and a recommendation. Most professionals understand that they can't help anyone and can point you in the right direction for a different approach.

Secondly, keep reaching out even when it seems impossibly hard because of the depression. Isolation is your enemy. Find people who will understand and support you. Seriously consider a support group in your area. Meeting face to face confidentially with other people suffering like you can be the most uplifting experience (way more heart warming than talking to a therapist).

Everyone is different just keep trying different things until you find what works for you. No one should be telling you that this one thing is guaranteed to solve your problems - you get to tell yourself what helps and what doesn't.
I'm a bigger hockey fan than football but this format isn't very usable for me at the moment.

"Packers are up against the Bears, 21-13" is so much harder for me parse than "Packers 21 - 13 Bears". Perhaps you could show the score by the logos and identify the player names with their team (color?).
It is misunderstood by most people as a set of absolutes without any nuances,

-- Only the high priests of MBTI know the truth? Puleeeez.

That is the nuance: It is in no way 'scientific'. Its about as scientific as any 2x2 (or: NxN) dimensionalized matrix. Which is to say, it says nothing about the dimensionalizing variables. Nor does it say anything about the underlying hypotheses of relevance. Nor the alternative or relative performance different dimensionalizations. It follows that referencing MBTI today says more about the acronym dropper than anything else.
Quite a few people find a life partner and/or a best friend or two during college -- if you're lucky, these people won't go down the same career path that you do, and you'll have an automatic link to new potential friends that way.

It's important to find ways to expand the people you meet, though, and nurture the connections you value even though you may move to a different city, etc..

Getting new real friends as an adult is trickier than at university -- most of the other adults you meet already have their circle of friends, routines of interaction, etc., and even if you click, spending time with you would mean spending less time with their existing friends and activities.
Userspace is really not the issue here at all. The problem is that the device was given full access permissions to every role on the system, when it should have been (trivially) limited to only system services. All of Android is userspace and relies on the kernel's userspace protection system (standard unix permissions) for security.

It's just a major mistake on Samsung's side that could have been avoided with 5 seconds of thought by the engineer.

It would be interesting to see gun ownership compared to how socialized of a healthcare system / social systems each country has in place (eg: how much money they spend, could take into account tax rate then, too)
Mike Ash's Friday Q&A is easily one of my favorite technical blogs http://www.mikeash.com/pyblog/
This is to be expect for any operating system that becomes interesting enough for attacks.

Maybe when micro-kernels finally manage to become mainstream, or security rules like LinuxSE and similar, can the problem be minimized.
I think it would be good also to show who has possession.

No. Seriously no. Why all the jargon now? There is nothing that's remotely recognizable to someone familiar with programming language and user interfaces. I tried it and it was ugly. Uninstalled after less than 10 minutes. Will never try that again.
I like it. For me, the Twitter integration with @NFLScoreBot is the best part.

I'm sure there are a lot of issues getting video highlights on the site, but if that were somehow possible and you added a link in each tweet, it'd be something I follow and occasionally click on... i.e. a nice app.
How much of Japan's population syndrome is directly assignable to Japan's unique policies, versus the nature of first world countries in general?

Japan's population has been essentially flat for the last 6 years: 127,773,000 in 2005, 127,817,000 in 2011. It is headed south as long as the birth rate remains so low. So no question that the rest of the world needs to understand the effects of negative population growth. A decreasing population will test many economic policies that relied on monotonically increasing population to be effective. I doubt we can predict all of the policies that will break.

In my experience, he certainly started off as helpful for me. But perhaps I didn't learn at the pace that he expects, he quickly turned into a power-flexing troll - belittling any question I had.

Left a very bad taste in my mouth, and almost exemplifies everything that is wrong with the community.

That's sad, because as I said...he started off very helpful.

Do I ask a ton of questions? Yes. But if you can't manage that, you shouldn't be the head of a channel designed to help people. It's that simple.
I find Planet blog aggregators a useful and surprisingly unknown resource. Great way to get a view into the blogs of a whole project community without having to follow a pile of them individually; I recommend following the Planet for any project you regularly use or have a strong interest in.

The state fairness hearings are there to represent the interests of the investors in a privately funded company.

Lets create a hypothetical example, you are an 'angel' investor and you invest in a company "WunderKund Inc". In exchange for your investment you get 10 or 15% of the company interest, now lets say WunderKund grows rapidly, they really hit a niche, maybe they have a series A, and people start to express an interest in acquisition. The angel investor is perhaps diluted down to 1 - 2% of the preferred stock, and maybe its one of those deals where the founders still have control of the preferred. Now along comes a buddy of one of the founders and says "Hey, awesome how about we make you rich, and you can come to work with me!?" and its awesome and all but there is this other less awesome company saying "Hey we really want to acquire you we'll pay what ever it takes..."

Now as the Angel Investor your interest is getting as good a return as possible on your investment because you know that only 1 out of 100 of your investments will pay off. How do you prevent the founders from making a sweet heart deal ("under market") with their buddy that makes them rich enough, and leaves a bunch of money from the other guys on the table that would have added to your return? If you are making less than full value that is one thing, but what if you're getting completely frozen out because the "sweet heart" company is offering very little cash or stock but big earn out bonuses for the founders if they stay on at BigCorp?

There are lots of ways that you can structure a deal that benefits one party more than the others and this commission was created to mitigate the damage done by unscrupulous business people.

It's also within the scope of the first amendment to drown out their chants with motorcycles, to create human walls to distance them from the proceedings, and to conduct the ceremony on private property where there is no trespassing allowed.

I'm not saying that we should throw them in jail, or that the first amendment should be weakened, but I am saying that there are creative, legal methods to protect the families from being exposed, and I hope that the community exercises them.

Perhaps I misinterpreted Anonymous' intentions, but I assume that the response will be along these lines.
"If a family has no children, the estate will move into public control, effectively increasing GDP per capita for the surviving population."

I'd think that families that have significant wealth are the ones that are the most likely to have children, since they'd have no problems affording them.
In California verbal offers can be considered binding when made by an authorized representative. This has been litigated both with respect to the entertainment industry and the high tech industry.
>If they were going through an open HTTP proxy, that box better have a decently network facing attack surface (unlikely). Sure, it's the same deal with Tor, except you have to pwn about 2/3rd of the network (4000+ boxes) before you know about the equivalent of pwning 1 sole proxy.

Can you go into more detail about what you are saying? I'm sure you could drop a- ADOBE, Active-X, Java, ect- 0-day on a page and pwn said box. You can also send payloads to/from TOR; although there are limited transfer protocols you can use.

The whole point of TOR is to try to anonymize you. It's not going to save you from getting owned.

To the contrary, girl babies born since 2000 in the developed world are more likely than not to reach the age of 100, with boys likely to enjoy lifespans almost as long. The article "The Biodemography of Human Ageing" by James Vaupel,

http://www.demographic-challenge.com/files/downloads/2eb51e2...

originally published in the journal Nature in 2010, is a good current reference on the subject. A comparison of period life expectancy tables and cohort life expectancy tables for men and women in Britain

http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/rel/lifetables/period-and-cohort-l...

helps make the picture more clear. ("Period life expectancy" is what is usually reported for a whole country. But cohort life expectancy provides a better estimate of future lifespans of young people today,

http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1...

and is still steadily on the rise around the world.)

Life expectancy at age 40, at age 60, and at even higher ages is still rising throughout the developed countries of the world.

This problem (carelessness) cannot be minimized by micro-kernels or any other technical system, as this is not a technical fault. Samsung parked the company Mercedes in the middle of nowhere and left the key in the ignition and the engine running.

You may have done the same thing before - created a network share of your photos for others to see, but forgot to set the permissions to read-only instead of writable? This is exactly what Samsung did - they specifically marked a device with direct access to the devices memory as writable by everyone.

There are simply no technical solutions to incompetence ;) - this should never have made it out of engineering, let alone past QA.
Would require further investigation. However, running the camera app via a non-priviliged account and also removing access would have the effect of removing DMA to the camera, that is why I suggested the result might be a black or green screen. I suppose it's possible they have some other way of taking stills, but I can pretty much guarantee you aren't going to record 1080p without DMA.

The proper solution is to obviously limit the DMA to regions of memory only needed by the camera. From my albeit cursory glance of the issue, it seems like you can pretty much write to any region of memory.

I have to imagine an exploit of that gaping a security hole is not very far away given the huge install base of samsung exynos devices.
I forgot about possession when I was building this, but I will be adding it before next week's games.
