I've seen this sentiment in several places, and for some reason people have a trouble understanding what it means for a piece of evidence to be "incriminating" in a criminal prosecution. It does not mean that the evidence is by itself a sign of anything bad or that anyone considers it to be bad.

Let's use a real world example. The feds might present evidence in a murder trial that the defendant checked into a hotel next to where the murder was committed. Nobody would say that there is anything inherently incriminating about checking into a hotel, or that it's terrible that "checking into a hotel can be used against you." It's just circumstantial evidence putting the defendant near the scene of the crime, even though it is otherwise totally innocuous.

Similarly, nobody is saying there is anything incriminating about using Stack Overflow. But posts you make on Stack Overflow can be a piece of evidence in a chain linking you to a crime, just like a whole host of otherwise innocuous things can serve as that kind of evidence.

He's why it's not silly and why disabling password logins and using key-based logins in SSH doesn't increase your security:

If you turn off password logins, people will use authorized_keys to in effect get a password-less login. If their public key has a password, this is OK, since they're either using ssh-agent or typing in their password at the time of the login. However, what if their ssh key has no password on it? That gives a password-less login path to my host, which is less secure. The problem is, it is impossible to detect, on the server side, a login with a key with no password.
The government could acknowledge limits, which would be made permanent by a court ruling; these would serve to protect the rights of the citizenry.

Many legal doctrines require that limiting principles be attached to each power granted to the government.

This is not what brought him down, it was just a nail in the coffin. The FBI did the fairly straight forward thing:

1. Look for the oldest mentions of SilkRoad 2. Investigate the people talking about SilkRoad before it was established... that's all they had to do, he publicly outed his identity on bitcointalk.org, This article isn't very good...
PGAdmin crashes regularly, and in a very annoying (and stupid!) move blocks the UI for all the windows on some database operations e.g. adding indexes. It also blocks the UI when it's processing the results of a db query, which can be slow if there is a lot of data being returned. The interface is sort-of ok though.

As much as I agree with what he said, his neon green on black blog style really isn't pleasant to read. I almost didn't finish reading it because of it (and it's pretty short).

Yes and it's standard for contributing to pretty much any open source project that's run by a company. The contributor's agreement you'll sign has you assign them full copyright for your patches, so they can do whatever they want, including make a non-GPL version.
std::shared_ptr is not thread safe, only the control block shared between all of the std::shared_ptr objects is thread safe. This means you only get a locking penalty when shared_ptr objects are constructed, copied, or destroyed, but not moved, dereferenced, or casted.

Both construction and destruction will allocate or can release memory, respectively, which I would think would bottleneck before any atomics or memory barriers inside shared_ptr. To me, the first likely port of call for improving performance in these cases is therefore a custom memory allocation strategy like a memory pool.

Copying can be a concern, but most containers and standard algorithms should be move aware now. You should be moving shared_ptr's far more often than you copy them.

All that aside, thread-safe by default seems to be the sane decision in this era.

How many of the new Silk Road's will be as successful? The entire idea of this type of marketplace has been tainted and I doubt we'll ever see one of the same magnitude. The feds made a massive bust and simultaneously removed drug money, hurt dealers + buyers, and devauled the bitcoin.
Your response made perfect sense. I'm a novice web developer, and OJJS has my interest, especially after this interview.
Unfortunately not, but those graphics certainly match the era.

This game's camera was behind the craft, so no POV shots from cockpit. The graphics were truly more mundane than any of these though. It must have been an independent release/demo I came across that never developed into anything significant since there is nothing. It's too bad, my best friend and I played for hours even though there was really no point to the game from what we could tell.
I initially thought so too but then I realized that this person is actually being sarcastic.

Regardless of the pros/cons of the war on drugs, I can definitely see why this would be super fun to work on as an investigator. It's an incredibly complex problem to identify someone who is using all available technology to remain anonymous. And once you actually found them, I imagine that you'd be pretty excited about it.
Zulu - an OpenJDK Build for Windows Azure
Yes, we don't do any custom development at Akvo either. Our revenue comes from hosting, training and implementation consulting services, but not technical implementation services, but implementing the tools themselves within the organisation.

We avoid technical implementation services, as most organisations we work with have a really low internal technical knowledge. If we then take the responsibility for implementing the technical side, we find that they don't take the ownership of the bigger issues. These are things like learning to publish open data and the changes in culture which this implies in the organisation. Then their failure to embrace the change needed in the organisation is projected as our failure to implement the technical side.

We have technical account management, but require for our partners who implement our tools to either have in-house the required technical skills or hire in the required skills. If they don't do this we don't do the projects, as they are very likely to fail.
The analogy given in the article is pretty accurate. The Smalltalk environment is unique in that it allows very easy access to the libraries, the IDE and the language’s internals (including the compiler!). The Smalltalk debuggers are among the best ones I have ever used.

(I’m mostly speaking out of my experience with VisualWorks, a commercial Smalltalk implementation, but other implementations are similar.)

I would greatly recommend everyone to give Smalltalk a try. The IDEs are pretty ugly and cumbersome, but don’t let that put you off. Get a feeling of the minimalism of the programming language and the pure form of object orientation. Dig through the code of the standard library — it’s quite easy — and check out the implementations of TrueClass, FalseClass, BlockClosure etc.

Unfortunately, many parts of the Smalltalk IDEs are horribly outdated and make Smalltalk a very poor choice of environment to use for production code.

Smalltalk lives in its own little world, and the tools that you’d normally use during day-to-day development are integrated in the IDE, and there is virtually no possibility of using external tools. The text editors are pretty bad, and you can’t use vim or emacs or Sublime Text. The Smalltalk VCSes are particularly horrible. For version control, you need to use systems such as Monticello or Store, both of which make me cringe just thinking about them again.

I also feel that Smalltalk coders get locked in into their environment. Many Smalltalkers that I have met are quite unfamiliar with what is happening in the outside world. Most of them have never heard of git, for example (and quite a few did not know what Subversion was). When an interesting technology enters the Smalltalk world, people seem to rush to reimplement it in Smalltalk (yes, there is STON — Smalltalk Object Notation).

These were the main reasons why I quit my Smalltalk job. A sad decision, but one that was unavoidable in the long run.

Smalltalk is a nice language and has IDEs with some very nice features that I would love to see in other environments, but it is also severely lagging behind in many other areas. I would like the Smalltalk community to be more aware of what is happening outside and build bridges. Without that mindset, I feel Smalltalk will simply fade out completely.

Source: I used to be a professional Smalltalker for almost three years.

Summary: Y'know how online polls are unscientific? You can science that shit up with a statistical technique affectionately called "Mr. P".

Article gives a famous example of a magazine in 1936 doing a massive poll of its readers and botching their prediction because the readers were a biased sample. (Duh.) But the authors took a massive poll on Xbox and, by adjusting the responses, predicted the election outcome accurately. They even nailed predictions for demographics (like retirement-age women) who are pretty much completely unrepresented on Xbox.
New Project: Scrape job boards to run through joblint.
Are the small number of people depending on Mechanical Turk for real money actually capable of doing regular minimum wage labor? We already have broad exceptions to minimum wage laws that allow the marginally employable (seriously disabled, mostly) to work for less than customary sums of money while also collecting disability benefits.

Having someone who's medically unable to work or who is primarily a full-time caretaker have a home job that makes them a supplemental income on the side, even at $.25/hr, doesn't sound like an unethical or abusive system to me.

(also, turkers who are doing transcription a lot probably know how to do 4x pitch corrected fast forward on their audio player and have a good enough ear for voice to pick out the odd words)

tyvm, exactly the explanation I was looking for. So, to be clear, the responsibility would still be on you to use their SDK to create a custom app that would interface with the CardFlight card reader, correct?
> I'm not running Java on my web server, sorry.

This attitude is interesting to me, because I use Play Framework and Dropwizard quite heavily. What exactly is the objectionability of a JVM versus, say, running PHP-FPM?
As far as DPR, there's most definitely more than what's in the complaint. They got an image of the server but don't mention how. Now, it might have been something super easy (external IP leak due to shitty PHP code or webserver config followed by a subpoena), or it could have been Tor hidden service analysis. Bottom line is that he reused a handle and linked it to his real ID, didn't use Tor to access his box, etc.

On the story I linked, it was literally a case of "Hey Gmail, which IPs used this account? Thanks. Hey Comcast, which subscriber is <IP>? Cool, locked and loaded!"

I'm not sure how "hard" this work is when you're the federal government and can compel everyone to cooperate with you.
An email from Zendesk that puts a smile on its users' face
"In language garbage collection just makes implementing a compiler that much harder to do"

A simple copying or mark-and-sweep collector is far easier to write than even basic dataflow-analysis optimizations. Implementor effort is hardly an argument against garbage collection; implementing efficient garbage collection is no worse than implementing a good optimizer or efficient code generation.

"Basic c++ shared pointers take up pretty much 90+% of what people need in GC"

They do so in a way that is right in the programmers face, adding needless effort to writing software, and can actually wind up being slower than a modern garbage collector. Shared pointers are a mistake, not quite as bad as auto_ptr but pretty bad nonetheless; the committee should have just introduced a garbage-collected smart pointer class and kept things simple (I guess that would not be the C++ way, though).

http://startingandsustaining.com/ 2-week email course about launching apps from the sifterapp.com guy
It literally just took me four clicks (one of them a double-click on the database server in the tree pane; so, yes, if you want to get pedantic, I pressed the trackpad five whole times) — inclusive of launching the app — to issue a query:

1. Launch the app
2. Double-click the db host to connect
3. Dismiss the dialog box prompting me to install the server instrumentation tools
4. Click the SQL magnifying glass icon in the toolbar.

That third click could be eliminated from ever being required again with the addition of checking the "don't show this dialog box again" box before dismissing the dialog.

So, best case, three clicks — four if you click on the "OK" button on the password dialog, instead of hitting enter. Yeah, PgAdmin isn't the prettiest tool on the planet, but demonstrably false hyperbole is unbecoming.
This does seem plausible, so I almost don't think this is worth mentioning, but don't forget about "parallel construction".

Having the world believe they can't reverse Tor would clearly be more valuable than having the world believe they can. Remember that Tor explicitly doesn't protect against a global passive adversary.
If we want a non-RESTful (in the strict sense) solution with those particular enterprise features, we have SOAP+WSDL.

Reinventing the wheel and calling it RESTful is non-helpful (because, again, we have a mature infrastructure of tools filling that need in the SOAP+WSDL space, so if we don't need a new approach, it would be more efficient to use them rather than rebuild them, and if we do need a new approach, well, reinventing SOAP isn't it.)

REST does offer solutions to those problems, but these pseudo-REST approaches drop exactly the pieces that address those concerns and replace them with approaches based on the way earlier, pre-REST, systems approached the problem. Which amounts to throwing out the core of REST for no gain over just using the earlier technologies.
More likely DPR made all that up because he thought it sounded cool.
It comes down to Hanlon's Razor. Sure, we could assume that these folks are all competent. But that then implies that they are, at varying levels, evil. Assuming incompetence is actually the charitable interpretation.

This. I worked hard for my place in the team. My boss and I are the two women in our small close-knit team, and we recently had trouble with another women who joined and started causing a lot of 'equality' noise and troubles. She did all this despite it being the most meritocratic place I have worked.

Interesting sidenote: the author invented mozilla (the name), and was a founder of netscape. It might not excuse the hypocrisy of his own blog's design, but I like the point he makes.

You are right and I concede your point. I just wonder at what point does a product maker become irresponsible? Obviously a manufacturer is not directly at fault when someone misuses their product, and they also are only selling what the consumer wants, but what level of responsibility do manufacturers have to help the consumer make good choices? I disagree that Doritos are not physically addictive in any meaningful sense. Like all simple carbs, Doritos can and do create cravings. If you eat a small bag of Doritos every afternoon for a month then stop, you will experience fairly strong cravings. You will feel miserable if you don't get your sugar. Try it! I used to eat a big bowl of cereal every day, then I stopped because I realized I needed to lose weight. It worked, but I felt miserable for a few weeks, cutting out my daily sugar infusion. That doesn't mean that selling simple carbs is bad, but I would argue that Doritos are engineered to be as addictive as possible, and purposefully sold in portions that encourage overconsumption.

You mention that we would have to string up a whole bunch of brewers and winemakers, but we do currently. Brewers, winemakers, and cigarette companies are all heavily regulated and taxed because they have the potential to cause harm. Is Four Loko, which is designed for overconsumption, morally tenuous? Probably. Four Loko is on a different level than Doritos because the health effects are much worse, but the same principle applies. Clearly Doritos should not be illegal, but maybe they should be disincentivized, because...

We have an obesity epidemic. More people in this country are overweight than not overweight. It's becoming a national health crisis, and costing us a lot of money. Type 2 diabetes, renal failure, and the like are preventable.

I think this article sums up my feelings on the whole situation. We have a health problem, and the cheapest, tastiest products make the problem worse. https://medium.com/health-the-future/918b3d08f21f
I thought the name Ross Ulbricht sounded familiar... turns out I had lunch with him a few years ago when he was working on a startup selling books online. I had some experience in the area, and he reached out to me after getting my contact details through a friend. He emailed me from rossulbricht@gmail.com, we made arrangements, had lunch and discussed selling books. That was the only time we met, and I've never heard from or of him since.

It's known that the FBI and DEA get help from the NSA on high profile investigations, and they sometimes look at people 2 or 3 degrees of separation from their main person of interest.

Given what we've learned in the last few months about the government's intelligence apparatus, it seems I can reasonably assume that my emails, texts, phone call history etc. have all been scrutinized because I was in this guys email history. And it's not unreasonable to wonder if the same can be said of anybody I've ever emailed, or chatted with on facebook etc. because that's only 2 degrees of separation.

While I don't think the government will be scooping me up in a black van or kicking my doors in over this, I wouldn't be remotely surprised if I get special attention from the TSA next time I'm going through an airport because now I'm on some list.

I guess this is what it means to live in a surveillance state. Having to be afraid of what this might mean for myself, and for my friends and family, because I once exchanged a couple of emails with a guy who years later got into some very shady things.
