A Disturbed John McAfee Teaches You to Uninstall His Software (NSFW)
Though certainly a step up from server-based spyware, this app is still browser-based, which is incredibly annoying.

I'm trying to avoid using browser-based apps, especially ones that require bloated browsers such as Firefox, Opera, or Chrome.

I much prefer open-source apps that are serverless and don't require browsers, like Newsbeuter[1] and rss2email[2].

Other manufacturers have a dealer network. Presumably the official Tesla service center is in California; a bit unreasonable to expect every owner in the world to be able to drive there. Likely they will have a local contractor do the work in various countries and far-flung states.
They are not bricked, the update is just buggy. They will release a fix and you will have to put it on a USB and upgrade from that. Bricked means it is completely unusable. It is a sensationalized title.
Another limitation of Google Maps is, it does not provide offline navigation which becomes very important in places where you don't have mobile data coverage.

Systemd helps a little because its service files are declarative and thus easier to understand and write; also stuff like detecting processes or managing commands are done in a consistent way.
Would it be more 'legal' to share XOR-ed files?
I did a search and found this post:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1399692

but I didn't see any clear conclusion.

What do you think about this:

"If I legally download a Ubuntu live CD image, I can't possibly be infringing any copyright, right? Even if someone has constructed another image of the same size, that when XORed with the Ubuntu live CD yields a copy of Die Hard? Duh, easy: it's obviously the other 700M blob of data that's infringing copyright! Off to prosecute me if I do that, then."

Trying this out now, It's actually pretty nice. I get that It's a visual editor that uses Markdown as a storage format, but it still would be nice if it would actually let me type Markdown - interestingly it seems to be pretty indecisive on whether or not I should be able to that.

I can type a # and it will automatically turn the text into a Title which is nice, but any other Markdown-like syntax is printed verbatim, which is odd because when I save and reload it will suddenly render it as Markdown just fine.

If I could write Markdown in this and had some way to refresh the editor to visualize it as an alternative to the insert bindings, personally I'd be sold on this for sure.

If you ice ubuntu... JuJu is terrific for either VM or container use. I have used it to deploy all of open stack services into a single "super size" AWS EC2 VM where the open stack was configured to use LXC as its virtualization. Worked fine for what I wanted. To back up or clone that open stack cloud only required me to snapshot that single EC2 instance.

I am talking about entirely passive, offline decryption attacks, not MITM. Think beam splitters.

I'm sure there are browsers out there that won't negotiate PFS DHE modes with Google (which were only enabled a year ago serverside anyway). NSA has had long-haul and undersea fibers tapped for many years.

Cert pinning won't help because it's not MITM.
I can't say anything about the app as I've not used it. However, the concept is (in my opinion) flawed for a large number of potential users - the music my friends listen to is absolutely no indication of what I might like.

I'm too old. I've spent the past 30 or so years (I'm 36) developing a taste of my own. I no longer meet or socialise with people around music (eg go to gigs with friends). Similarly, my "favourites" are people I admire and respect for things entirely different to what their music tastes are. Most of the new music I find these days is based on what I listen to already or in curated theme-based playlists from sites like http://ShareMyPlaylists.com. Automating something like music discovery from a social graph is skewed (in my opinion again, and based on instinct rather than science) towards young people who still socialise in what I would call "taste networks" - groups based around shared tastes. Older people don't do that in my experience.

Good luck with it though. There's still a giant market out there. And I'll still try it just to see what it thinks I might enjoy.

If there is evil at Facebook, I haven’t seen it.

For me Facebook's relentless race to the bottom in terms of privacy, their underhanded tactics on re-fiddling privacy setting defaults and their relentless push to try getting me to give up ever more private data was evil enough for me.

Evil enough so that I "deleted" my Facebook account and don't intend to use the service ever again.

Your mileage may (and apparently does) vary.

The Mercedes dealer I used to go to would give out Mercedes as loaners to owners of E & S classes. M & C class owners got Hondas from their other dealership. While I was there numerous times for problems with my ML (something broke on average every 8.5 weeks), the dealer always took care of me. And that's the only reason why I'd consider having another Mercedes.

Hopefully Tesla is able to maintain their customer goodwill through this by doing similar.
Where I work we have a standardised script for controlling programs, and then the init script itself just looks like:

. /etc/init.d/daemon-functions

init_daemon "$1" /usr/bin/magic-daemon
The first thing to do is to avoid using the most popular email hosts. The world's email should not be centralized around some popular service like Gmail, but should be distributed over many hosts and countries.

And we also need distributed search engines (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_search_engine).
>Can you challenge these gag orders? If not then surely they are unconstitutional so you can just go ahead and break them.

Yes, of course. You can do anything you like with no worries. Just the other day, I heard testimony from congressmen and government officials alike about the robust protections for whistleblowers in this country, especially for public servants.
We use upstart instead (Ubuntu Server boxes), and I much prefer them over init scripts, which need a lot of boilerplate for the simpler of tasks. Implementation concerns aside, the UI is much better all around.
Coincidentally, I'm re-reading Snow Crash, read it first in the nineties.

When I first read it I felt a little like a snickering boy looking up dirty words in the dictionary, reading about failed institutions and government military and intelligence services as spun off corporations.

Ultimately that is be the goal indeed.

At the same time all init script are not suitable upstream; keeping the balance between simplicity and features is a hard one. Not every use would require a 10 foot long scripts that cover some awkward features that is seen in 1% of the cases - yet having a repository of capable init scripts seems a good way to mitigate the issue.
Offtopic, but:

> the proprietary drivers are limited to the very bizarre 1920x1920 maximum joined resolution

That's not true. I'm currently using 2 1080p screens on a HD7870. You just have to initially set it up using amdcccle or maybe aticonfig, or to edit xorg.conf manually, after which you can use RandR-based tools as normal. I dislike that the AMD drivers lag behind in software compatibility and that they do things in non-standard ways, but they provide all the functionality I'd expect.

Getting back to your problem, in amdcccle set up Display Manager > Multy-Display, or manually in xorg.conf, Section "Screen", SubSection "Display" needs to have an entry called 'Virtual', which looks something like this: Virtual 3840 1920.
Because the author has likely overheard some interns complaining?

These points seem valid for any developer who hasn't been in the industry long though.
Really now? As if these guys get paid to do create and fix scalaz all day right? Like Oracle yeah? This is the story about every single open source project. You can choose something else, wait it out for documentation, or contribute it. Lucky you even have the source!
I agree that pushing for OpenGL ES would probably be best, but that also means waiting 4 or more years before OpenGL ES 4.0 is probably going to be available, if the transition from 2.0 to 3.0 is any guide.

Plus, at least from Nvidia's point of view, which already had support for OpenGL 4.3 in Kepler from the desktop space, so they didn't have to do a lot of work to get it in mobile, this is a no-brainer, as it gives them some competitive advantage that probably won't be replicated very soon. I figure even if Imagination wanted to do it, it might take them another 2-3 years before they have it.

I think it was sarcastic, as in the intern would think that the customer was stupid while they are making the change.
It's called analogy. I think the same reasoning and conclusions apply in both situations, which doesn't mean they are equivalent. It's a useful example when all this "which kind of license offers more freedom" arises.

The societies we live in have answered that denying a little personal freedom in order to protect the collective offers more freedom than the one in which that doesn't happen. There's no debate about that. Then, why are we still debating this?

Might be the Premier Support expiration date?

Oracle have a policy whereby support for product X.Y.Z.K expires 3 months after X.Y.Z.K+1 is released, or 6 months after X.Y.Z+1 is released. 15 November is 6 months from 15 May, or 3 months from 15 August; do those dates match some other JDK release (actual or planned)?
Distributed search engine
w3m in emacs, mostly -- except for a few sites I care about (like HN) that absolutely insist on using Javascript.

It might be a bit extreme for most people, but browsing the web in text-only mode (w3m is capable of displaying images, but I mostly don't use it that way) is great!

I quickly and efficiently get what matters to me most: the content. And I don't have to worry Javascript, Flash, HTML 5, or other rich media vulnerabilities.

Not to mention the great integration of w3m in emacs, which is far beyond anything you'd get with a standalone browser (even if you're using addons like Pentadactyl or It's All Text).
Except that in even the mid-long term (several hundred years) non-renewable energy is reasonable. (Based on estimates of Uranium and other fissile reserves)

And of course by the time that runs out, we'll have something like Planetary Resources up and running...

So while 3) might not ever happen, that does not imply 1) or 2) are the only remaining options. Proof by elimination only works if you can prove for all options, not just your preferred subset.
>Do we focus on slicing the pie more fairly or increasing the size the pie while cutting sloppily?

In my case, (well, really in the flat-rate multi-tenant case in general) fairness is what I care about, more than overall efficiency. From a business perspective, it's okay to not be all things to all people, if you are a cheap-ish flat-rate service, it's okay if your heavy users don't get as much performance as they'd like, as long as the reasonable usage customers still feel like they are getting what they are paying for.

My core customer, the hobbyist who wants something like a shell for IRC idling, personal mail server, DNS for personal domains and a place to experiment or run a development project... generally buys enough ram to cache all the disk they normally access. I mean, 512MiB goes a long way for your average unix sysadmin. So even if the disk is getting thrashed by heavy users, light users? once their pagecache is warm, they have a fairly responsive system for everyday sorts of things. Under Xen or something else that doesn't share pagecache? once the pagecache is warm, it stays warm. They can login a week later (assuming they aren't running a bunch of background stuff that's reading/writing disk and churning pagecache) and their /etc/shadow is still in pagecache, and the login is pretty fast.

Back when I was using FreeBSD jails? if the user hadn't logged in for a few hours, the /etc/shadow in their jail had been flushed from cache, and they had to read it from disk again. They were getting terrible service.

From a economic standpoint? in general, if you have a flat-rate service, your light users are where the money is. They pay just as much as your heavy users (as it is flat rate) and they use fewer resources. And really, I think it's fair that if you are a light user and you are paying just as much as the heavy user, you should promptly get your resources on the occasions that you do need them. Heavy users on flat-rate services are going to have less than perfect experiences, and this is fair too, I think, so long as expectations of service level were set ahead of time. Heavy users use flat-rate services because it's cheaper than pay per use services, usually... but the downside of that is that they then only get as much resources as they can get without impacting the light users.

Now, in a pay per use model? the opposite is true. In a pay per use model (like, say, google app engine) the heavy users are the real customers. The light users are sales prospects. So yeah; in that case, you focus on the heavy users (and charge accordingly.)

Personally, I believe this is why shared hosting is seen as so far inferior to platform as a service; shared hosting is usually billed flat-rate, so the service provider really only has incentive to look after the light users; they are better off if the heavy users go elsewhere. (and really, for five bucks a month, what do you want?) - whereas platform as a service usually means you get billed per use; in that case, it makes a lot of sense for the provider to focus almost all it's energy on making things better for the heavy users. Of course, they also charge those heavy users accordingly.
"They got lucky, nothing more, that Snowden is a concerned citizen and not an actual spy."

Actually Snowden may have been the NSA's lucky break. Doesn't it seem likely that there are poeple selling secrets to enemies within NSA/Booz Hamilton? This forces them to deal with a system that probably makes that relatively easy.

Cherish your bugs.
Well, I guess that depends on what you consider "unreasonable". I'll admit to idealistic, resolute, and maybe even impractical.

But it's actually my point that it's the ideals that matter. We can never say that the ends justify the means, because there's never actually an end: time just keeps rolling on.

So tell me: do you see me being unreasonable in a bad way? (This is a sincere question: what am I missing from my point of view?)
Biggest reason I still have for VM is when you need to virtualize a non Linux OS (windows etc). Other than that lxc now does just about anything a VM can do. Live migrate between machines, nested containers, remote desktops (freerdp, x2go). Understanding start control cgroup gives you is important. For a great GUI mgmt tool for LXC look at LXC Web Panel..!
> Canon, if you're a pro photographer. I assume Nikon has a similar support system for professionals. It's pretty amazing. Test/Evaluation loans on $15k lenses for weeks, emergency equipment loaners, dedicated support at major events (Superbowl, etc.).

Yes, but I believe you may need to be in a special "pro photographers club" that each of these manufacturers offer to get this kind of service. They don't do it for the average consumer.

At first glance it seems like an amazing language. Very few basic building blocks, and yet it manages to capture a good deal of the advanced features of modern languages. Nice, parsimonious syntax too. I especially like the Rubyesque way blocks are passed to functions.

Couple of things I imagine might bother me:

* Lack of upwards funargs. The reason stated is performance. I realise that it's complicated to implement, but it might be possible to start out with cheap blocks and promote them later to full closures if necessary.

* Reference cycles as an error. It's pretty easy to create these in legit circumstances. Maybe something like Python's auxiliary GC could be useful here.
