I don't think many apps are really in the business of being evil.

It is not about cracking. It is about control. The ability to third party to execute code on your device without your knowledge or oversight makes the world more insecure place.
Did you actually look at commits to reach this conclusion?

Also, do you commit only/amend after doing extensive testing? Or do you also commit the results of debug sessions as separate commits?

People have various biases that make them tend to remember some things and forget others. It is easy to have 100 boring implementation bugs, 1 interesting bug, and then end up remembering that you have more interesting bugs.

Also, can you give me a couple of examples of "flawed assumptions" across services?
To spare others frustrations, you need to run IPython from the same directory as the notebook you want to view. So to see chapter one:

and then it will be linked on the list. Importing from different directories apparently doesn't work.
HDMI out is pretty common on the types of high end phones and tablets that this sort of chip would target. HDCP is long-since broken, so none of this matters to pirates unless the content people also force the device makers to kill HDMI out as a feature which seems untenable. But the pirates are just going to keep ripping the Bluray discs leaked out a month or more prior to retail release anyway since that's even easier. As with the vast majority of DRM, this will only fuck over legitimate users. Pirates will still download the torrent, whether it comes from a Bluray rip, captured HDMI or as a last resort the analog hole.
Even if it is still hardware-based, they must download a movie definition file somewhere for future movie reference. If not, then it seems that the only movie segment they would be comparing the signatures to is the intro credits or at the last part of the credit scene. This is just my speculation of how this might work.
Testing this function
I would place my bets on that. The analysis is hard and the gain is quite small.

Dont take my word for it, they guys from Azul threw it out of the code completly and replaced it with something they call 'escape detection'.

“What is Azul’s support for Stack Allocation?”

Azul’s support for stack allocation is really support for Escape Detection – fast detection on when an object is escaping a stack lifetime. Sun has been trying to add a classic Escape Analysis (EA) to HotSpot for quite some time. Its not on by default now. Research from IBM some years ago showed that its really really hard to make EA effective on large program, although it works really well on lots of microbenchmarks.

I cant give perect references right now. Search the internet for Cliff Click and Gil Tene. Specially the talkes.

I remember that on there own hardware the do 'Escape Detection' with costum hardware but the think it would be a win in software as well. I dont know if the have it in software with there new x86_64 VM.
The "Modern Perl" book did this a few years ago as well. The crowd sourced nature of it helps keep the content up to date and error free.

Does Docker work in the same way as Solaris/Illumos zones, or FreeBSD Jails (or Verio's equivalent [1])? Docker appears to add portability, but no security.

I ask as virtualising this way (thinking about secure shared hosting) is of interest to me, vs multiple VMs, and I'm curious about the advantages and disadvantages of each.

Parrot for AspNet
Curious about this article I went on a short research trip down content protection lane. Now, if I understand correctly, high-definition media is re-encrypted at each link in the chain from origin to display device (let's not mislabel this as "end-to-end encryption"), which is why HDCP has to be as much a legal construct as it is an engineering one (and broken in both domains).

Since unlicensed HDCP strippers (basically counter-encryption devices that take encrypted HDMI in and talk unencumbered HDMI out) can be ordered straight off Alibaba, I don't see how this processor is any further impediment to the systematic bootleggers of high-definition content and its redistribution in alternative forms.

I concluded that the practical application is therefore limited to impeding the casual viewer from cloning original media files or streams.

What it further provides is another sterling opportunity for interoperability failure between devices.
I like the service, but is it OK to use the github name like this?

Thanks for the real answer to real question. After trying it for 5 minutes I got so hooked up that now I spend almost an hour daily practicing and improving my German skills.

The site and application are really important missing step between a language beginner which doesn't know the language enough to be able to improve it organically by random reading and conversation, and an intermediate speaker that can go forward on its own.

I would really recommend this tool, especially in combination with real language course. The app is great, but the site is still better, since the some things are missing from the app. I hope the app will catch up to the site usefulness, since it is so much easier to use when commuting.

I sometimes feel like I'm the only one using EC2 as it was intended.

S3stat's nightly job takes about 60 hours to run, and it needs to start and finish between 3am and 6am every morning. Amazon kindly keeps 20 machines ready to do that for me and only charges the time I'm actually using them. That's pretty amazing, and well worth the price in my mind.

So yeah, if you need a box to run your webserver 24/7/365, you can find a better deal elsewhere. But that's really never been what EC2 is for. To continue the example, S3stat.com lives in a cage at a colo since, as the author points out, that's a much better deal than running it on EC2.

There's two things going on here, the "old" thing is secure boot / secure os, which is a hardware/software solution that only allows signed code to be run on devices. I think this is what was meant by the original Netflix announcement.

The "new" thing here is hardware memory protection for video data that is there to prevent the CPU, GPU or other engines on the SoC from accessing protected memory and only the display controller is allowed to read it.
tl;dr:

3 monetization models, called as (i) coursera, (ii) university, and (iii) registered student.

(i) coursera (pg 3): university builds the material, company monetizes it. 6 to 15% of gross rev to university: 6% for 3 mos, plus an extra 3% for every additional 3 mos the course runs (pg 28); plus 20% of gross profits.

(ii) university (pg 3): university monetizes it and shares with coursera; the rev split (pg 28) is agreed on in a course development agreement for each individual course (pg 29).

(iii) registered students model (pg 4): coursera appears to simply host material / run classes for registered students in the university.

Other potential monetization (pg 40):
certs to be purchased by end user; secure assessments (ie a test center); employee recruiting (employees can query perf by class); NB: employees have to send email through coursera and coursera appears not to share contact info; employee or university screening; human provided tutoring or manual grading; corporate/univ enterprise model; sponsorships; tuition fees

Other interesting things:
university keeps ip (pg 8)

ps -- if anyone at coursera is bothered by this, I'll happily delete.

I'm the last person to defend Zynga and it's practices but I agree this needs caution.

If the boot is on the other foot, and VC's are expected to own such a degree of responsibility to maintain their reputation, then as a founder suddenly I'm going to be dictated by my investors as to how to run lower level aspects of my business that would not normally need board (thus investor) approval.

If we want investors to remain hands-off outside of board decisions then you can't expect them to take responsibility for aspects they have no control over.
Then you should know that your hypothesis remains unsupported by any data until that is done, and that it's not the job of people who doubt your hypothesis to do so.

Apart from that, the location itself would introduce a bias, and I'm curious how exactly you would recognize women in the process of spending the maternity grant.
The article presents the bomb as being a useful excuse for both the Japanese and the US after the decision to surrender. E.g:

> 'During the early days of the occupation, many Japanese officials worried that the Americans intended to abolish the institution of the emperor. And they had another worry. Many of Japan's top government officials knew that they might face war crimes trials (the war crimes trials against Germany's leaders were already underway in Europe when Japan surrendered). Japanese historian Asada Sadao has said that in many of the postwar interviews "Japanese officials... were obviously anxious to please their American questioners." If the Americans wanted to believe that the Bomb won the war, why disappoint them?'
Ah, I see now. Q changes size.
I believe that comment is supposed to be an allusion to the following:

A Scandinavian economist once stated to Milton Friedman: "In Scandinavia we have no poverty." Milton Friedman replied, "That's interesting, because in America among Scandinavians, we have no poverty either." Indeed, the poverty rate for Americans with Swedish ancestry is only 6.7%, half the U.S average. Economists Geranda Notten and Chris de Neubourg have calculated the poverty rate in Sweden using the American poverty threshold, finding it to be an identical 6.7%. (Quoting from http://www.newgeography.com/content/001543-is-sweden-a-false... )

I worked with Visionect to create an interactive menu using their ePaper Development Kit[1]. The ePaper technology itself has refresh speed limitations, but great resolution & power-saving advantages. Their SDK exposes a JavaScript API for handling display refresh, which was easy to implement in Backbone.js render methods. You should try this if you want to build an MVC App[2] on an ePaper device.

When I was a student I was really struggling to find retail work. I applied to loads of places, and even after doing great in interviews and managers saying they were very happy with me things would always go quiet. I was once offered a job at Game by a friend of a friend, only for things to abruptly "end" a few days later. I asked him why, and he said that I had received a terrible reference from my previous job, saying I was regularly late, was rude to customers and left prematurely without working my full notice.

My first retail job was at Sports Direct, one of the worst companies I've ever worked at, and I've worked at some terrible companies. I worked there for two years and bad a bit of a falling out with one of the managers. I handed in my notice, worked it, and a month after leaving I was given a written warning for not turning up to work, and I got in a pretty big argument with that manager over the phone.

The manager from Game asked my friend, who worked with me at Sports Direct, about the reference, and he said it was total bullshit. Still, with the bad reference, I couldn't be hired. Thankfully, once I knew what was causing the problem I simply left Sports Direct off of my CV and the offers came flooding in. I worked one more retail job and then started landing coding jobs.

What you say is correct. Every company I've worked at has declined to give a reference to very poor staff members. However, in some industries I reckon bad references happen a lot more than we'd like to think. Having seen first-hand what a bad reference can do I would never give a bad one, and even when asked by someone who I worked with who I knew was not a great co-worker I gave a reference.

It's not about your employer being your identity; It's about empathy and whether your choices improve or worsen others' lives.

> Don't blame the soldiers for the fault of the generals.

Since you apparently like military analogies, I'll quote one of the Nuremberg Principles, which---as far as I am aware---are not an American invention:

"The fact that a person acted pursuant to order of his Government or of a superior does not relieve him from responsibility under international law, provided a moral choice was in fact possible to him."

This is a pretty sensible principle, because it's the soldiers who enable the generals. Similarly, if you're a developer (unless you're really terrible) and you work at Zynga or any other company, you're enabling your employer.

Yes it is unsupported. I admit that. But it's clearly observable. I'm sure many people here observe it regularly.

You specify the problem the wrong way around.

The women got pregnant because the maternity grant was offered as is a cosy council house and a career of being pregnant. That's how it works here.

When you have three children like myself you spend a lot of time around parents and maternity units and the general consensus of the particular social stereotype is that a baby is a meal ticket and the £500 would go nicely on some Uggs and enough Silk Cut to get you through the first 9 months after it's born.

You can see the results of the maternity grant spending at ASDA which is basically the decked out in designer brand children being pushed around in their expensive buggy but the mother is buying £50 worth of cigarettes and her other three children are consigned to economy grade processed meat wrapped in breadcrumbs and some reconstituted potato product and some panda pops as their entire diet.

It's not down to poverty: just selfish idiocy, apathy and a complete lack of morals and ethics.
You will never have enough time to be really good on every part... except you have no private life.
I can develop "everything" too, from Assembler, many Basic dialects, VisualBasic, C, C++, PHP, JavaScript, CakePHP, Typo3, Node, Java, Android, MySQL, MongoDB, Apache, Nginx, to different CloudServies (S3, Rackspace) and many things i forgot in my 25 years programmers life. I can use them all, but i not assume that i can use them all like somebody who is specialised and thats the difference.

Yes, full-stack developer are needed, because they have an overview of many things, but in detail a specialised programmer is meaningful.

And your are right, 85% is for most customers more than enough, but the really good payed jobs are not from 85% of this customers ;-)

Ask HN: What do I tell my co-founder when he asks access to the source code?
I have a bootstrapped startup. A co-founder has joined me recently, he is a front end guy, and inclined on learning the backend stuff.

I have put in 6 months of effort building the entire codebase and business. He keeps asking me access to the source code?

If I give access to it, I fear I might loose all that which I have created. If things are good, as of now, everything might work well, but in case of disagreement, I can't go to his laptop/dropbox/drive and delete all the codebase.

OTOH If I put a blatant no on his face, he might feel bad, and get a feeling that I do not trust him.

What shall I do in this situation?

Since the business has not picked up, all the worth that my startup has is the source code. Once I get customers, they will be my worth. So how do I go about it?
