Okay, you're right here. (I said you were right the other two times, too. This time I'll emphasize it.)

Content-controlled Javascript is not alright. Content-controlled Javascript is, in fact, why browsers have sandboxes in the first place (think about this: if they could get away with less, they would; and in the current security model, you don't get to sandbox yourself from your content when you are the content, so you don't get to get away with anything.) You need some sort of stable base, living in the client, to build any sort of cryptographic security upon. That means, at the very least, Javascript that comes from a file: or blob: URI.

You can use SSL to bootstrap up to that, delivering an initial payload which will then be loaded. But you can't keep the advantages of the web-app model (refreshed from the server with every page-load! embed arbitrary DOM content by URL!) when you do this; you have to switch to thinking like a local-app developer, who downloads and sig-checks "updates", and who downloads and validates "content" (so your image doesn't turn into a script half-way through), before making use of either. Effectively, you don't have a web-app any more.

You can't take any web-app that's already been written and just "throw in" a crypto library, and consider yourself secure. You aren't. Don't listen to the article. Either trust SSL (i.e., trust your crypto provider with your plaintexts), or use some sort of locally-fixed-client implementation: if not a native app, then at least a Chrome App or something.
iPad Air Reviews: Round-up
From the review -

>The iPad Air, like the iPhone 5s, ships with 1GB of LPDDR3 memory. Apple frowns upon dissection of review samples but I think it’s a safe bet that we’re not talking about a PoP (Package-on-Package) configuration but rather discrete, external DRAM here. It’s also probably a safe bet that even the iPad mini with Retina Display will ship with 1GB of memory as well.
I'd define "web application" as "something that lets you perform a task via the web". All of the companies I linked count under that definition; Amazon let you buy books; EBay let you buy & sell odds & ends; GeoCities let you build a website; WebCrawler let you search for things.

If you define it more narrowly as "something that lets you create a site", Geocities still counts.

I think you'd have to narrow the category to "first online store builder" to make it accurate, which is still quite an accomplishment, but certainly isn't the "first web app".
It is all about tradeoffs. Memory requires power and so more memory means a shorter battery life.
are they so ill-trained that they can't even fire straight?
So noob-ish that they are shooting people in the middle of a field mistaken as a car.
An obvious-in-hindsight bit of speculation is that growth has caused them to resort to hiring those former taxi drivers which customers like me were trying to get away from in the first place.
This happened to me too (toyota minivan).

I was in stop-and-go traffic and went from accelerator to brake, and the vehicle started revving it's engine to try accelerating. (gears were grinding trying to shift to compensate for the slammed brake). The situation ended when i lifted my foot off the brake and pumped it.

I took it to the toyota service and they said it was due to me pressing both brake and accelerator at the same time. I was skeptical of my own user-error, so I later tried to recreate the issue (by pressing brake+accelerator together in various combinations) but was unable to repro it.

Now that I see this article, it makes me realize it's probably the firmware.
I tried two monitors but didn't see any benefit. You can only look at one monitor at a time. I find ctrl-alt-arrow easier than straining neck, etc. Also with two monitors, to get right in front of either one you'll need a swivel chair, right? Either that or you sit in the middle and then you're never looking straight ahead which is the natural thing to do. Unless you're a duck, then you could see both monitors at the same time ;-) At least for me, eye-strain is a big factor. Two screens or a too-large screen is too much looking around. Anyway, that's just my preference. When I see devs with two screens I always wonder if they're really more productive or if it's more an "image" thing, to look more busy/nerdy/important? Haha.

Conjecture. Got proof? (let's say, a statistical analysis between the recent spate of doctors who no longer accept insurance -- only cold hard cash or credit -- and their Swedish counterparts in both patient care and malpractice suite rate)

That's the thing about this entire argument. We're point at those other folks that seem to be a doing a lot better job at this whole keeping people healthy thing than we are. And you're pointing at this conjecture that maybe people make rational decisions in a market.

And we know that's not true.

Just look at homeopathic medicine to see how well the free market does, without FDA intervention, at keeping people healthy - and getting them healthy if they aren't.
yeah right. Don't want to make it that complex.
Wow. Do they need to physically carry the loads all the way, or could they wheel them part of the way and pick them up when necessary? If so, someone should send over a bunch of hand trucks.

Right. But it still seems to be an overall increase of 20-30% for lightest of the use cases.

>In general you’re looking at a 20 - 30% increase in memory footprint when dealing with an all 64-bit environment. At worst, the device’s total memory usage never exceeded 60% of what ships with the platform but these are admittedly fairly light use cases. With more apps open, including some doing work in the background, I do see relatively aggressive eviction of apps from memory. The most visible case is when Safari tabs have to be reloaded upon switching to them. Applications being evicted from memory don’t tend to be a huge problem since the A7 can reload them quickly.

I've always loved tiling WMs on big screens, since it's a really efficient way to use all of that screen real estate. i3 really comes into its own on my multimonitor desktop setup. I've just never felt any real gain on anything smaller than 17". On my 13" macbook air, however, I find that as soon as I split the screen 50-50 neither window really has enough space to be comfortable. (I've tried using Amethyst[1], but that's all)

Do you believe the US has never intentionally targeted civilians?

Example 1: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/24/us/soldier-gets-life-witho...

Sadly, the second part of your comment still remains true. These wars (plural), are pretty similar to all wars because US soldiers and forces have at times been found indulging in the same acts - rapes, killings, indiscriminate bombings, torture - that rampaging armies do.
Because the intent isn't to terrorize or murder innocent people, but to hit "military" targets. It's akin to dropping bombs on military targets during WW II. Just because they are military targets doesn't mean innocent people aren't killed. So it's classified as something else. And before you go shooting the messenger, keep in mind your asking about classification. If you want to disagree and suggest that it's still murder, feel free to argue endlessly with others. But it's important to realize what you are then suggesting, and the ramifications.

War sucks. Innocent die.

Cue the pedantic replies.
To say that the right want equal opportunity is dead wrong. Anyone who wants to do away with estate tax clearly has no care for equal opportunity. As I have said before, I would be a libertarian 100% if we could have a 100% estate tax and devote 100% of the proceeds to education. A true meritocracy (or as close as I think we could get). IMHO Conservatives would be against this because it would allow their kids to fail, and liberals would be against it because it would allow accountability for the the people coming from nothing.
White women abortion rate is equivalent to Europe (11 per 1k), Black women abortion rate is 50 (Hispanics as usual are in the middle - 28). Given that sex education & birth control are not distributed by ethnicity, there must be more to it than that.

Bad economic policies such as living wage laws actually do get enacted into law (mostly at the state and local level) and thereby make people's lives worse. Laws like that prevent people from employment, restrict economic growth, destroy economic opportunity.

Whereas people claiming to believe in young-earth creationism has no real policy ramifications - it doesn't actually MATTER.

(Though for left-wing crazy I think would have proposed anti-GMO, anti-vaccine, anti-fracking, anti-growth, anti-technology in general.)
This must be at least few hundred millions of lines of Java code (to be able to access /dev/null in a portable way).
This is also the reason the US is lobbying aggressively to ensure its soldiers have immunity from war crimes.

Hey shuzchen, I am still wondering how can people upload file to someone else 's server? When you call the transcode.io URL, you don't provide the host address.

The host address is pulled from the user's account. And the account is linked with payment and other stuff.

And requesting same video with different resolutions doesn't work like that. Transcoding only happens for the first time (and you have to pre-select the output resolution while creating your account)

Yes, in this case more RAM is arguably the better trade off. Less need to reload apps and browser tabs, better multitasking performance etc. are good things to have over the 15 min or whatever of battery loss it might take to power on additional 1GB of LPDDR3 RAM. It's just a vastly better user experience for the common use cases. (Besides there are other tablets with 2GB RAM and they come very close to iPad in terms of battery life so it shouldn't be that big of an issue.)
Agreed with the review.

Also agree that any benchmarks are useless. We need to code for the lowest common platform, in order to get the best sales.
> in most cases scale as O(1) and not with employee count

I've read in many places that startups and small businesses are a very important engine of economic growth in the US. Since that O(1) obstacle disproportionately hurts small businesses, it could serve as a long-term brake on growth.
The short answer to whether that is a good phrase to be using is that it depends on where you are. Outside of the wind tunnel of American politics, "liberal" tends to mean that many liberties are afforded you, with the implication being that you have fewer regulations and rules. But in America, liberalism is not merely a factual description of how encumbered $SOME_ENTITY is, it's also seen as an ideology that stands in opposition to conservatism. So it's a bit overloaded. If you're living in America, you probably haven't been using it wrong, per se.

That said, I have no degree in political science. So, WTF do I know. Here is your grain of salt. You're probably right though that I should not use "fiscally conservative" as the opposite of "fiscally liberal", because they are not really opposites.
What does "stored" mean? Does it mean "temporarily buffered?" If so, most networking technologies meet that criteria, and iCloud might too if it merely buffers in RAM. Does it mean "unreadable in cleartext" by Apple? Possibly, but this test doesn't answer that question.
Well, but no. They can't know with "100% confidence" where a driver will drive in any given day. They probably can't even know with 90% confidence. Taxi drivers don't drive regular routes, they drive where a diverse set of passengers need to go. There are probably a few destinations that a lot of drivers hit almost every shift (most notably the airport), but arbitrary business or residential address 1 to arbitrary business or residential address 2? Probably not.

And if they were to offer some kind of "by the way" service where you say, "I want to get this package across town, you send somebody who will eventually deliver it to my destination because my destination is near a major taxi destination," do people actually want that service? I was under the impression that in-town point-to-point couriering was typically done because you have a tight deadline for when the package needs to arrive -- after all, if it's just a few miles away, and you aren't on a tight schedule, you could just mail it and it would probably arrive the next business day. This doesn't sound like a big business opportunity to me.

Delivery of large quantities of goods on a same-day timeframe, like Amazon wants to do, that's a big business opportunity. But I don't see how Uber's business or Uber's dataset solves that problem.
There is (or should be) a difference in the response for bugs reported by a single in house tester and bugs reported by a single external user.
Example's one and two aren't the US. They are individuals. So unless you are suggesting that Saudi Arabia or Germany or Japan are intentionally targeting civilians, it doesn't hold water.

Example 2 also doesn't bolster your claim. I've never seen any proof that the US has ever had a policy of targeting civilians. Yes, collateral damage exists, but that's not the same thing.

Now, if you can produce something that talks about official policy to target civilians, that's a different story. Please, produce that.
>Because the intent isn't to terrorize or murder innocent people, but to hit "military" targets. (...) Cue the pedantic replies.

Oh, the irony.

That's a pedantic distinction, if I ever saw one.

Not to mention nothing about it is correct (perhaps that's why you felt the need to use quotes for the word military).

Such strikes are not done as part of war and do not target military targets -- they were used in places like Pakistan (the US was not at war with it last time I checked) and at functions such as weddings.
Yeah, I have this too. I went 22 years thinking that people were dropping soap in my meals. I would think 'Damn, do people just accidentally grab the soap bottle instead of the sauce?'. Couldn't figure out how else such a strong taste of soap could be in my mouth. But yeah, turns out it was cilantro.
> As usual Anandtech has one of the best reviews.

No one does reviews like Anand—even other reviewers at Anandtech. When I see him as the author, I know I'm in for a treat. I mean, down to the metal, and a full understanding and clear explanation of what it means! Just top quality, every single time, even going back ten or fifteen years to the Pentium and Athlon era. I learned so much from his clear and passionate explanations of CPU structure and design decisions.

I still love that the author name link goes straight to his e-mail address. I think I'll thank him directly.

Your idea is supposed to be that being "forced" to do things is what makes someone an employee, but no employee is ever forced to do anything---all employees have the option of leaving their employers in the very same way that yelp reviewers are able to leave. I agree that something is wrong here, but I don't think that you're correct about what that thing is.
It doesn't (though one might argue that as a result we will see much fewer JS implementations of AES coming out). What I am talking about is a better way to distribute the code, the ability to verify the code, the ability to sandbox it, and a proper secure crypto implementation to rest this on.

Basically, I want the contents of GMail messages (ones I compose and ones I read) to be rendered in a sandbox to which the rest of the page has no access. Moreover, I want to get the code that makes the sandbox tick to not come from Google, but from a third part I actually trust.

Once again, this starts looking a lot like normal downloaded apps with package signing, and less like the web. I am not certain there is a middle ground between the two that provides both security and convenience.
Yeah, if you cant do SOMETHING better, then you are a supplicant. Or a cog. I wouldn't want to be either.
>Do you believe the US is intentionally targeting civilians?

Of course. It's not like it's some new practice either...

I mean its not as clear cut as you want it to be. The dresden bombings didnt clearly target military objects. Its not as simple as classification when the one doing the classifying is so willing to act in a hypocritical grey zone.
Middle east countries hate United States due to reckless behavior like this. US kills thousands of civilians overseas and they do the same to US in form of terrorist attacks.

We travels in Italy and our budget was low (6 weeks at $30 euros a day). We stayed at camp grounds most of the time. It was good, except they often had cat colony's nearby. The smell was horrific and traveled a long way. It put me off cats in such a big way that 10ish years later I still don't like them.
At one point had 8 virtual desktops all labled by activity. Then I had a time tracker that triggered on each. So if I was doing dev work for Client A the billable hours would be tracked automatically. Client B. Marketing. Etc. Problem was the time tracker didn't really work. Also over time I realized it was too much trouble to separate activities like that. Now I just use two virtual desktops. The 1st one gets full fast, the 2nd one rarely gets full. So I never need a 3rd desktop. I have the same setup on desktop and laptop.

One former employer, with (guessing) a median employee duration of 15 months, would complain endlessly about how hard it was to hire. It was frustrating to see really good employees already trained on a very complicated internal hadoop variant walk out the door; somehow, the dedicated team of 7-9 recruiters (including managers) costing probably on the order of $1mm/year fully loaded; countless hours of engineering time phone screening and interviewing; and the opportunity cost never made management pay people what they could get elsewhere.
It's not necessary to solve the halting problem to have the kind of protections aircraft have, let alone things like not drastically miscounting the stack space, having memory protection against stack overflow, using ECC RAM, not having 11,000 global variables, etc. Even if it was user error, this isn't even close to a sane design.

Again, you don't understand design by contract. You just pass objects around and pray that they will work.

If you stayed a bit up to date, you would realize that Rails is pretty dated already. For instance, take a look at Symfony2. It easily beats Rails in every aspect possible. You probably won't be able to appreciate it though, since you don't know the first thing about design patterns. You just use whatever you thought was "cool", easy, and you stayed for the syntactic sugar, which you confuse with being well designed.
Having the crypto code delivered by the server to provide real-time "end-to-end" security is surely a problem. But, I believe there is a specific use case where even not-so-perfect javascript crypto increases security in a significant way. Imagine you have a system where you want to send encrypted files that are stored on the server to be downloaded later by other users. With javascript public key crypto a la PGP, the user could encrypt this file using keys stored locally. These keys are "uploaded" to the web page when they are needed but not actually sent to the server. The cipher text only is then uploaded to the server and stored. Recipient users can then download the file and decrypt in a similar manner.

So what does this help protect against? You are mitigating the situation where the server becomes compromised. In the event your server is compromised, any previously encrypted files are protected as long as the keys are not used again after compromise (since malicious javascript could be delivered to obtain the key).
