I think the problem appears when other people are buying shares of our pets as if they were actually worth billions.

I really like the "NoScript" model of permissions in a browser and wish phone OSes allowed that model. With "NoScript", I block javascript by default but can unblock temporarily or whitelist permanently.

On my Android phone:

* With standard Android, I have to whitelist an application when installing it. I cannot pick which permissions I give it, I cannot control when it can use those permissions, and I cannot remove permissions. Ever.

* With Cyanogenmod, I can restrict permissions fine grained both for permissions and applications. This would be really great if it were usable, but when I try to use it the applications behave very badly (often crashing) if they don't get unfettered permission to use my data.

I would love it if (a) applications behaved well in the absence of permissions (I fault Google for setting expectations of availability that don't require this) and (b) I had a UAC style permission granting mechanism[1] so that I control an application's access to my data and can monitor what it is asking for and when. While it could still "steal" my data (cache it, send it to the borg) any time I gave it permissions, it would at least give me a clue that the application was not trustworthy if (when) it popped up unexpected permission requests.

[1] I cannot believe I said I like Windows UAC dialogs. That will cost me another year in purgatory. :-/

This Is The Chart That Should Have Apple A Little Bit Worried
Michael Lewis' "Wall Street on the Tundra" is classic.

> For the past few years, some large number of Icelanders engaged in the same disastrous speculation. With local interest rates at 15.5 percent and the krona rising, they decided the smart thing to do, when they wanted to buy something they couldn’t afford, was to borrow not kronur but yen and Swiss francs. They paid 3 percent interest on the yen and in the bargain made a bundle on the currency trade, as the krona kept rising. “The fishing guys pretty much discovered the trade and made it huge,” says Magnus. “But they made so much money on it that the financial stuff eventually overwhelmed the fish.” They made so much money on it that the trade spread from the fishing guys to their friends...

That was the biggest American financial lesson the Icelanders took to heart: the importance of buying as many assets as possible with borrowed money, as asset prices only rose. By 2007, Icelanders owned roughly 50 times more foreign assets than they had in 2002. They bought private jets and third homes in London and Copenhagen. They paid vast sums of money for services no one in Iceland had theretofore ever imagined wanting. “A guy had a birthday party, and he flew in Elton John for a million dollars to sing two songs,” the head of the Left-Green Movement, Steingrimur Sigfusson, tells me with fresh incredulity. “And apparently not very well.” They bought stakes in businesses they knew nothing about and told the people running them what to do—just like real American investment bankers!

And probably -Werror (all warnings become errors, breaking compilation).

Fun post. Now I know why everyone was raving about the clang error-messages:

gcc -Wall -Werror --std=c99 main.c
main.c:1:6: error: return type of ‘main’ is not ‘int’ [-Werror=main]
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

clang -Wall -Werror --std=c99 main.c
main.c:1:1: error: 'main' must return 'int'
void main() {}
^
1 error generated.

Or even on those portable Android sticks. I fear this will commoditize the Digital Signage industry on the long run, Android devices need zero support and a fool can install the apps with the Play store. Plus Android devices often have very sophisticated GPUs, making them suitable for visuals.
Do you have any context for the video whatsoever?

No?

OK, then maybe don't jump to conclusions. One possibility is that it's a training video for a "watch this then report what happened" sort of thing, which are very common and may not even be affiliated with an actual police department.

Consider the presence of a camera crew (the filmer is way too close to an armed officer to be a bystander). Also notice how there is no blood and no physicality related to a body being hit by bullets.

For all we know this could be a training video to help cops avoid this sort of thing. What sort of twisted world do you live in where you would imagine that any police department in America could explicitly set out to train its police to cold-bloodedly murder people?

Everything related to this video screams of it not depicting an actual event.

Edit: videos of the police committing murder or negligent homicide do exist but there is generally far more context with those videos and they are tied to well known cases.

Edit2: I've watched the video a few more times now and I've noticed some important details which aren't very obvious due to the low resolution of the video. First, the civilian has another gun which he retrieves from behind his back, you can see it in his hands in the last few frames of the film. Second, the "police" are not in uniform nor do they have any police insignia present yet they are wearing bulletproof vests. If they were plain clothes cops they would not have their vests on above their clothes. If they were police on duty they would have badges, insignia, etc.

My guess is that this is a training video or video of training, maybe for police, possibly for private security.
To me this clearly just looks like a plug for the guy's friend. Hardly an interesting article.

The problem is that people are allowed to take the easy route, they will never write secure code.

Writing secure code is always harder than not, and developers love to take shortcuts.

For example, many of the IO functions like gets() are no longer valid in C11 exactly because how unsafe they are.

I don't see any serious advantages to bitcoin whatsoever if you have to follow the requirements of a banking licence.

Anonymity? Nope, KYC (know your customer) rules would require ID of all wallets.

Untraceability? Nope, AML (anti money laundering) regulations would anyway require you to identify the source and 'final beneficiary' of each transaction; and deny/freeze a bunch of transations matching some criteria. Oh, and you'll be financially liable if you're too soft on verifying which of your users lie.

Finality of transactions? Nope, payers can contest payments for all kinds of reasons, and you'll have to return money to them; But you'll not being able to get fraudulent payments back due to properties of Bitcoin.

Doesn't look like a good business to me; you can be profitable as an unregulated exchange, but doing it "properly" will make you completely uncompetitive.
Snapchat isn't being valued on revenues or potential monetization, but rather as a piece of someone else's (eg Facebook's) business model.

In the Steve Blank sense I don't think it's even right to call Snapchat or any of these "growth looking for a home" things "startup"s. They aren't actually searching for a business model. Their plan is to grow until they dock with the Deathstar.
1) Lagging is still frustratingly there. Don't know if it's improved in the latest version.

2) Most of my Android devices have come with a default mail app that works perfectly with Exchange.

3) I've dropped my last 4 Android devices frequently and they've never broken (not saying they won't, they do, but it takes a bit of gusto to do it). I don't know a single iPhone user who hasn't had to replace their phone once a generation because they dropped it and the glass broke.

4) Keyboard input is definitely not the problem on Android, there are more keyboards available, and several are widely regarded as better than iOS's. Swype like keyboarding, which I think the new default Google one has supported for a while, is transformative.

The phenomenon where people like you act as if anyone with something critical to say about the United States lacks patriotism is the very thing that is destroying our nation. I'm a moderate conservative and a Soldier, but your "love it or leave it" attitude is sickening to me. Its ruining our country, so please stop.

Sure many countries are horrible places to live compared to the United States, but if we ignore our problems as you would have us do, that might not always be the case.

Our founding fathers knew from the very start that government is but a necessary evil. One that requires constant monitoring and modification in order to keep the power in the hands of the American people, which is where it belongs. Patriotism is about loving one's country, not worshipping the government.

I don't agree with every criticism of the United States that appeared in this thread, but I do agree with some of them.
Let's try to reconcile your three facts:

Average is positive.
Microsoft up a bit more than the average.
Apple down incredibly more than the average.

If most decent stocks went up by about 40% but a few stocks like Apple actually went down, the average would be somewhere around 30%. This means that Microsoft's stock could stay at par while others went down and Microsoft would beat the average.

Steve leaving probably helped a couple percent, but it's just noise.

Glad to hear good things about coinbase. I've been waiting for them to send the 2 small transactions to my bank-acct so they can verify it and I can buy bitcoins. I started the verification process on Tuesday. I also like their paper-wallet option so I don't have to worry about online hacks after buying the coins.

I was on a United flight a couple weeks ago when the passenger next to me told the flight attendant that his headphone jack for his seatback IFE was not working. The flight attendant offered to reset the IFE. The passenger declined the offer. I'm still wondering whether the flight attendant was going to reset the IFE for everyone or somehow for just that passenger.
It hasn't helped that Apple has been awkwardly late to the game in all the major platform sizes as well. A year late with a small tablet (price corrected now so it isn't cannibalizing profits), and still no larger format phone and no phablet format...which both sell like hotcakes in the smartphone market.

It'd be like if Honda refused to make a mid-sized sedan and minivan and piled all of their efforts into the Civic.
The analogy is false. One of the problems with what Icelandic banks were doing was this:

"The rules prevent banks from posting their own debt as collateral (Central bank of Luxembourg). The three banks circumvented this rule by posting each other’s collateral at the CBL. This process is known as issuing ‘love letters’. However, CBL later restricted this type of funding. This, however, continued in other places such as Central Bank of Ireland (CBI)."

This makes good reading, but is obviously a back-rationalized definition meant to make a modern political point. Fascism is defined principally by the primacy of the state. "Fraudulent elections"? What elections? A fascist state is a one-party state. "Labor power is suppressed"? What labor power? Fascist industry is nationalized.

There are definitely AES cache timing issues! I had it in my head that GHASH was harder to make constant time than AES, probably because of Adam Langley, but 'pbsd points out that it's subtler than that. Both GCM and AES are tricky to do in constant time in software.

Non american here. Can someone help me make sense of the premise for this article?

By “month to month” is the author refering to a post-paid service (i.e. you get a bill to pay at the end of each month, which may or may not be more than your monthly minimum depending on usage), or “pre-paid/pay as you go” accounts (where you buy “credit” or “top up" every month/when it runs out?)

The author suggests “month to month” is better value than the contracts to the tune of $40/month, but I’ve never heard of any telecom anywhere offering worse value for money on any kind of post-paid account, compared to a pre-paid/pay-as-you-go account.

Im aware the majority of americans have long been suckling at the teat of carried locked/carrier specific phones (i.e. pick your network then see what phones are available) but is paying $600 vs paying $200 really that much of an inconvenience, if the difference is $40 a MONTH!?

Please, someone explain this crazy industry you have - I grew up in Australia - when I got an iPhone 4, it was a small amount upfront, and the “device payment” added about $10 or $15 a month (on a 2 year contract) to the monthly cost - at that rate, the phone cost me about $400, for what was > $1K outright purchase.

I’m now living in Thailand, where even with a contract, smartphones are not subsidised, but sometimes a slightly better contract (which can generally be broken without penalty as I understand it) is available if you purchase a phone via the telecom.

Can someone shed some light on the US sitation that this guy is talking about?

Where is the business in making a payment infrastructure (which costs money in maintenance, customer service and liabilities for fraud) with no fees?

A payment service provider can earn money on payer fees, receiver fees (like creditcards) or 'float' (holding on to user's money for a few days). If I had a ready made system of literal online cash, instant and with no fees, then launching it wouldn't make any business sense.

Bitcoin only got started because early adopters got distributed semi-free bitcoins, miners will get paid by fees on transactions in the future, and the bitcoin exchanges (which are a necessary part of the ecosystem) live off fees. Cash can exist because government is replacing worn-out bills and prosecuting counterfeiters without charging an explicit fee for that; and any large cash transactions will incur fees for transporting, counting and securing large piles of cash. A no-fee system still needs some profit motive for someone to sustain it.

Exploiting Enterprise Social Inside Microsoft
I don't know if it's because I have given up coffee or what, but this post just rubbed me the wrong way for at least three reasons.

Mt.Gox is not the world's largest exchange: most would agree that BTC China is, and possibly Bitstamp is coming in second.

Mt.Gox is called Mt.Gox. It used to stand for Magic the Gathering Online Exchange. It does not anymore. Whatever your thoughts on the site, you have to at least give them the fact that you can no longer exchange MtG cards on the site, so that is no longer their market. They kept the name and pivoted what they do. If you can't handle people pivoting on HN of all places, good luck. Or maybe you're the kind of person that refers to LG as "that cheap ass Lucky Goldstar" too?

Finally, Mt.Gox is definitely experiencing delays for North American withdrawals, and to a lesser (?) extent Europe. However they're not 'not allowing' anyone to cash out. I have no doubt, for example, that in Japan it's all good... their problems are with their bank.

Anyway, hate on BTC and Mt.Gox for whatever reasons you want... but surely if your going to use reasons to persuade people away from something, you should at least use truth?
