I hope you know of the esteemed fellow, Alan Moore?
I think his ideas touch on your understanding of the "perfect description as the thing" [1] and the linked interview is well worth reading.

I'm also curious if this strays into the philosophical area of phenomena/noumena in the transcendental idealist school of thought where a thing-in-and-of-itself [noumena] is unique and unknowable, we simply access representations [phenomena] of the thing? So I would say your perfect description (and Alan Moore's gods) are some class of entity that somehow become both phenomena and noumena??

>Also, given that I can write arbitrary javascript to their window, can't I just do something like form.onsubmit(function(){ //send credentials to my private server }); ?

You didn't address this question of his, it seems. I would agree that in the scenario you're explaining, it would make far more sense for an attacker to simply modify the non-HTTPS landing page in such a way that the user hands his credentials in plaintext straight to the attacker.

From what I can tell, for BREACH, you don't actually need to inject Javascript into any page belonging to the domain you want to extract secrets from; you simply need to force the user to load a hidden iframe that you control. That iframe will then make repeated GET requests to HTTPS endpoints (which does not violate the same origin policy, so this iframe can be hosted on any arbitrary domain).
Indeed. I just found this yesterday, and it is an interesting project. Not sure I'll be able to contribute in the next few months, but I certainly will "play around" with it.

If you're using integrated graphics there isn't any PCI bus involved. Even when graphics was off-die it was on the Southbridge.

And the bandwidth between the GPU and the GDDR on the graphics card doesn't have anything to do with the PCI bus either, except to a small extent when synchronizing with the CPU or initially loading textures or whatever.

BoS releases all of the talks for free within a year of them being made. We, like many organisations are working hard to find a sustainable business model for content. In some cases, the speakers ask that we do not release the talk fro free. We do not share royalties with the speakers but then the cost of preparing the videos is far in excess of the revenue we make from selling early access.

If you have been to BoS you would know how community minded it is. It takes a huge amount of work to put something like BoS on and to be honest, we think we do a pretty good job of hosting and producing an event that is both very different and refreshingly uncommercial in outlook.
Thanks, works!
Actually, that's been the philosophy behind my personal data access system, https://github.com/capnmidnight/SqlSiphon

It is all just SQL, and the classes it maps to for select statements are really just records, they can only map to raw system types and have no additional functionality. The delete and update statements take no class parameters, they only take raw system types.

It's basically meant to have as simple as possible of a way to execute stored procedures, with an added layer of type safety for parameters and a little intellisense help along the way. Essentially, I treat the application-level method name--and its parameter names and types--as repeated information, and attempt to eliminate repetition. The system calls a stored procedure that has the same name as the method, passing parameters that have the same name and type as the method parameters. And that's about it! I've been using a version of this project in production systems for... well... almost 7 years now, and it's been a breeze.

The project is a little bit out of date right now. I'm working on rebuilding a new feature that I prototyped poorly 6 months ago but was an incredible boost in productivity. The feature is the ability to manage the stored procedure create/alter statements from within the data layer, at the site of the method calls. It eliminates the last bit of repetitiveness in a database project: the repetition of the names of things in the database versus the application.

I had done the same for the table definitions, but that turned out to be a mistake (and thus why I need to rewrite the SP generator system, the two were too closely linked so I just ripped them out completely). I found myself going down that same old road of every ORM, trying to solve graphs of data types, graphs that the database is already pretty capable of solving with a simple join. Because that's the real problem with ORMs: even their developers don't trust the database.

This is OT but I have mixed feelings about the practice of using someone's first name when responding to them on HN. On one hand, it's a bit e-stalky, especially when the handle bears no resemblance to the name and just... sound off. On the other, it's a rather elegant, understated way of distinguishing comments made in some more or less official capacity from regular opinions.
Apart from the cutting-edge APUs (like AMD Kaveri implementing hUMA), the memory of integrated GPUs and previous generation APUs was separate and copying chunks of it in between happened via the bus.

Plus since we're talking about cutting-edge gaming, integrated graphics is irrelevant (and so are APUs).
If they are, that really seems like a nasty move. Buy a company, then shut down all their products and services, fire all of them, then keep all of their IP and ensure they can't use it again? I suppose it's not exactly theft, since they got paid something up front, but it's still unfortunate.

I don't know much about economy, but I always thought this was an expected outcome of globalization. People in developing countries make more than before (since they get to work at factories instead of farming) and people in developed countries earn less, because of competition from cheap labor in other countries.

Lastly, the people who employ cheap labor can increase their profit margins.
Whoa! - $2500 for a three day conference. The "Business of Software" conference is a pretty good business.

I know, I know - They rented a hotel ballroom and give you lunch and snacks. It's too bad the self-organizing bar-camp thing kind of died when the great recession ended. I thought it might kill expensive conferences like Craigslist killed newspaper classifieds.
You can turn off M:N on a per-thread (really per-thread-group) basis in Rust and we've been doing that for a while in parts of Servo. For example, the script/layout threads really want to be a separate thread from GL compositing.

Userland scheduling is still nice for optimizing synchronous RPC-style message sends so that they can switch directly to the target task without a trip through the scheduler. It's also nice when you want to implement work stealing.
It's quite odd how so may Git advocates relentlessly stress the importance of decentralized source control, yet they turn around and centralize so heavily on GitHub (including source control).

We hope you will always get to watch the keynotes for free, even if they are released over the course of the year.

In most cases they are though we may get asked to not release a video to the public if a speaker has said something that they wish they hadn't, in one case a speaker discussed a company that they then started teaching an MBA class on and realized that the students could just watch the video instead of doing the classes, someone was once very unintentionally indiscreet about a co-founder and some investors...

We try to respect the wishes of the speakers.

I think this is one of the best talks I ever watched. It's about startup life, without glamour, false-hope or delusional expectations. The fact that it's not a twenty-something year old guy, who sold it's business for millions of dollars in only 2 months, makes an excellent talk to anyone who has a SaaS software, consultancy business or is looking in join the startup bandwagon.
I don't know first thing about economy but it seems obvious even to me that such an "overthrow of the plutarchy" would require to dismiss the whole concept of capitalism, where anyone gets as much as she can.
A new calendar visualization desktop app or browser extension that will pull your calendar API (i.e. Google Calendar) and show it in a different way that makes sense for those of us who use the Calendar to track tasks and personal stuff in one screen.

It came to me when I saw what instagantt.com does for asana.com

What I miss is:

- a nice overview of the month without restrictions, I may want to see the next half-day, 2 days, 3 days, or tasks between 10.00 - 12.00 only...etc.

- a clear view of each day's tasks & meetings regardless how many they are, with more rich information about each task/meeting

Good idea, but it does have one failing.

When an API key has been compromised (e.g. a developer leaves the company on bad terms), it is much easier to change a randomly generated API key without impacting anything else. Changing an email address is a hassle for the developer, should you need to revoke the 'key' due to misuse by a third party.

Also, this should be obvious, but many people forget to use a secure transport for their APIs, which then leaks private information, such as API keys and other HTTP headers parameters whilst being sent over the wire. SSL is a must for APIs.

>The master password question for showing individual passwords in the Keychain.app does not protect your passwords.

That's insane too then! as it suggests/teaches that keychain passwords are master password protected.
Did you not read what I said? I never imported any bookmarks. I just opened Chrome, typed "twitter.com" and hit enter.

It prompted for access to the single keychain entry for twitter.com and then created it's own copy after I hit "allow".

No, it does not make any sense to create a copy, even if I was importing from Safari. If it's going to use the system keychain, it should use it in a sensible manner.

The title is misleading. A more fitting title would be: 40% of US workers earn less per year then the full time minimum wage inflation corrected for today.

FTA:

> That isn’t a lot of money, but according to the Social Security Administration, 40.28% of all workers make less than $20,000 a year in America today. So that means that more than 40 percent of all U.S. workers actually make less than what a full-time minimum wage worker made back in 1968. That is how far we have fallen.

So the article compares all wage earners today with full-time workers in 1968.

In 1 TB of RAM you can keep without any compression 3d array 1000m * 1000m * 64m of voxels with 1 voxel being a cube 2 cm * 2 cm * 2 cm. And you can lookup it randomly with negligible latency and do real time raytracing on it.

If that won't change games I don't know what can.

Besides GPUs will obviously also use this technology if it really works.

Yes, I too hope pg decides to fight the good fight against others gaining precious Internet Points via methods I find unsavory, even if their accumulation doesn't affect me in the least.
Having done a very small amount of research into it I actually think it would be surprising if it did use Strassen's. EDIT: At least frequently, I assume it would use Strassen's for larger matrices much in the same way as introsort works.

Apparently it's becoming irrelevant/unwieldy as computing power increases.

"Practical implementations of Strassen's algorithm switch to standard methods of matrix multiplication for small enough submatrices, for which those algorithms are more efficient. The particular crossover point for which Strassen's algorithm is more efficient depends on the specific implementation and hardware. Earlier authors had estimated that Strassen's algorithm is faster for matrices with widths from 32 to 128 for optimized implementations.[1] However, it has been observed that this crossover point has been increasing in recent years, and a 2010 study found that even a single step of Strassen's algorithm is often not beneficial on current architectures, compared to a highly optimized traditional multiplication, until matrix sizes exceed 1000 or more, and even for matrix sizes of several thousand the benefit is typically marginal at best (around 10% or less)." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strassen_algorithm

Coppersmith-Winograd, assuming it is not another Galactic algorithm, looks better - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coppersmith%E2%80%93Winograd_al...

However I do strongly suspect that this is a Galactic algorithm.

In fact, judging from this (http://www-cs.stanford.edu/~virgi/matrixmult-f.pdf), the Big O of time taken for matrix multiplication has been decreasing steadily and without much fuss ever since Strassen.

Again, I suspect these are even more galactic algorithms than strassen's is.

Not nearly as good a business as you might think I can assure you and we make a lot of effort to have a single customer - the delegate. There are no sponsor panels, exhibition booths etc that make events a lot more profitable. We have consciously decided to avoid these and focus on making the event as valuable for paid attendees as we possibly can.

Please don't forget we have a relatively high ticket price a finite number of places and very significant fixed and variable costs. This is not a software business.

We also try hard to incentivize early booking and offer discounts to encourage this so the average ticket price is significantly lower than $2,500. (Tickets cost $1,800 at the moment and we have sold almost 3/4 of them.

I see it this way as well, but most of the people I know who bring up this subject as a problem are either xenophobic or have some sort of cognitive dissonance. These kinds of statistics fail to point out the billions of people who have come out of poverty, and the millions who are now in the middle class, particularly in the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China). The response to this point is either "We have to take care of our own first" as if the well-being of an American person is somehow more important than that of 10 Chinese people, or that the progress made in the developing world is insignificant.
> Simple IP-based rate limiting seems quite effective to all but the most determined abuser.

Most (noticeable) abusers are quite determined. They will try Tor, then various anonymizer proxies (forcing you to block all of them or give up), then sometimes Amazon EC2 instances or other VPS, or large public proxies / ISP proxies that you cannot block. In Germany, they can also use cheap DSL where they can switch to new IP addresses almost instantaneously (T-Online is a godsend for abusers/scrapers).
tl;dr: Record labels are dinosaurs, and they have been and will continue to be hurt by the new digital ways of consuming music, until they die, because their cost structure can't be supported in this new age.

Why? The Western 'elite' create an Eastern 'elite', which create a 'South American' elite, which create an African 'elite', until there's no more cheap labor.
