Hackers post jailbreak for Apple’s iOS 7 just in time for the holidays

Two of them come to mind:

* They don't want the exploit "stolen" or reused by another party (for good or evil)

* They don't want to make it too easy for Apple to patch it.
Who says their minds will be sharp? This discovery is about muscle aging.
Chasing Crabby Old Lady Away From the Internet
Pension funds are restricted in the UK to only be able to invest in commercial properties. There seems to be a conflict of interest here, where banks can make it hard for normal people to buy residential property while there investment arm is able to easily buy. That is one very scary situation to be in.
That's not the point though. The point is most users don't have the knowhow.
I served on the Reagan from 2003-2007 and am lucky enough to have finished my enlistment before the Fukushima incident.

I still have a large network of friends in the military and work in the defense industry in San Diego so I was surprised when I first learned of this incident only a few weeks ago. I thought the post I was reading at the time was a sick hoax at first but have since learned otherwise.

This doesn't surprise me much at all unfortunately, and I wish my fellow sailors the best of luck in not getting screwed by Uncle Sam, which is what I fully expect will happen.
Yeah, what voltagex said. Same reason you shouldn't open-source a zero day exploit on any website without responsibly disclosing it to the company and giving them a reasonable amount of time to patch it.

No, you can not detect malware working like that.

How do you know the data will be sent when you are looking, how do you know what the encoding will be? Maybe it exports your AppleID password by using the unused bit ("evil bit") in IPv4 packets, maybe it encodes your keychain into every screenshot you take, maybe it's using high frequency audio (haha) to send out copies of your photos when you're not looking.

Treating the iPhone like a black box it would be impossible to deny the existence of malware, you can only confirm it's existence. Given that the evad3rs didn't even know what the binary they included with their exploits contained, we can assume that there's possibly a backdoor or two in there as well.
It doesn't take a vast conspiracy to rid prospering metropolitan areas of working class non-white people; it's the business-as-usual of capitalist growth.
Yes. The "markets" are to blame.

Instead of keeping blindly fixated on just terrorism, I would like to see them work to prevent the next global financial crisis by gathering and analyzing metadata from financial terrorists like the big banking insiders who orchestrate crises and cash out from them.

At the top of the list, we can start with examining the metadata of NSA employees and their family members and contacts. Who cashed out, with what insider information, and who at the NSA are they connected to who had access to this information?

NSA, how about you turn this information over to the SEC so they can investigate whether you are involved in financial terrorism? It's just metadata.
If the payment gateway decides to not implement this kind of protection, the payment goes through anyway (I'm guessing it'll be more expensive for the merchant, but still).

I don't think I said that it is wrong for them to take the money. It is more about who to take it from and what are they asked to do. They claimed including TaiG is good for the Chinese user and a positive thing for the jailbreak community. I personally don't think that's the case.
The processor matters when you get into complicated assemblies or analysis of parts. Your school should have computers capable of running whatever you need to do and to be honest a home built computer of ~$500US would be capable of undergrad work easily.

I specced the MBA with upgraded processor which would definitely be necessary (for CAD) but even the article I linked said it was a little slow with the upgraded processor.

I personally did all my CAD work on campus and MATLAB/programming at home because of computer specs.

I think a macbook is a nicer computer choice if you don't mind doing CAD work at school, or if later down the line you decide to spend ~$500 building a computer (just the computer not monitor, keyboard, os) because working at school is a burden. Though a lot of my CAD projects were group projects, depends more on school though.

The analysis work definitely is processor heavy (I think PRO/E might use CUDA somewhat now) but it just means a slower processor will take longer to run the analysis).

Just running the CAD program usually requires an okay processor and video card but if you google around or ask on forums some other people might have better experience with running solidworks on a MBA.

Here is another experience: https://forum.solidworks.com/thread/70311

We did have some programming in basic excel formula style but that you could run in parallels or virtualbox or what have you.
And you'll probably be sitting in your armchair nitpicking on the title of another article you didn't read that steps on your ideological toe.
They've basically made it open to the world, Apple has worked out closed sourced jailbreaks before with no help. Jailbreaks like Star (jailbreak.me) were just a PDF binary with absolutely no clue as to the contents or method of exploitation.
I'm usually not one to get offended and and I'm not going to say the author is horrible person like some jerks around here that get offended by non-PC stuff, but it comes across as possibly a tad offensive to use a wheelchair as a jab at Ruby on Rails. I know it's a play on Cobol being old, but a lot of people confined to wheel chairs are young, in the prime of their life and extremely capable in other areas of their areas of expertise. Anyways, I leave it to the author to think whether or not this has merit, because it's not really my place to judge since I'm not in a wheelchair myself.

TBH I was expecting this to be about someone actually hacking on the cobol that runs their wheelchair.
I'm still baffled as to why someone would want to buy a locked up device and be forced to use frequent / complicated measures to be somewhat freed...
I understand if you didn't get a choice at first, but I people realizing they are really stuck in a jail anyway, without any jailbreaks, might do more good than having them.
(Though I encourage breaking things! ;)
A bit more precisely: it isn't the market that sets the salaries, it's the board of directors. Hopefully someone can clue us in here why executive compensation in the US is so much higher than in Europe, and why it took off insanely sometime in the 1990s.
So, we did.
The labor won't be infinite... they'll work us to death at some point.
That number is almost certainly bullshit. It would be nice from a drug manufacturer's perspective to artificially limit supply so that they could get away with charging 50k a day for the stuff, but it seems insanely implausible that anything that comes out of a set of bioreactors could ever actually cost that.
The same people who get angry when one suggests that throwing a brick through the back of a bus window might not be an action at ethical par with voting or circulating a petition. Try skimming the comment histories of the people who seem most invested in these stories. They're illuminating.

Eh? Capitalism is about making money. Racism is the other thing. Sometimes the two mix, but they are different things.
The alternative is Detroit. Which would you rather see?
Lisp was no co-opting everything. But research around Lisp did explore much of the dynamic and high-level language space, because it started early and had a lot of funding from the AI application domain - up to the end of the 80s. At the same time Smalltalk, Prolog, Self and other language spawned a lot of research. But only Lisp had this breadth and variety of research in this space. Today some languages are still catching up (say, generational GC in Ruby came only recently) or are ahead (JVM with concurrent GC, Mathematica's IDE, ...).
I'm one of those people: I submit that throwing a brick through the back of a bus window is ethically superior to voting or circulating a petition. Please skim my comment history.
Eben Byers was a victim of quack medicine, much like people nowadays who try to use magnets and sugar water to cure cancer. Bringing him up in a discussion of real medicine is frankly an insult to the researchers who do this stuff.

A group of businessmen convergently evolving their profit maximization strategy is called a "business sector" not a "conspiracy".

And I'm not claiming just big box DIY stores, but listing real estate agent ads, bank and mortgage broker ads, home repair, upgrade, and maint ads (plumbers, roofers, etc) and last but not least real estate developer / condo advertisers. Don't bite the hand that feeds you, especially when you're really hungry.

I'm sure a large fraction of the ‘gentrifiers’ would actually rather not spend a couple hours every day on a bus — they themselves are simply priced out of homes close to work by the entrenched SV residents who vote to prop up their own property values with extremely unbalanced zoning regulations, bringing in ego edifices holding tens of thousands of employees while excluding anywhere for them to live.
I live in Detroit and I'd rather live here than San Francisco.
Yes, the comment author links the page in their profile or sig (depending on the platform), posting generic praise comments is a huge chance they won't be deleted.

> banks can make it hard for normal people to buy residential property while there investment arm is able to easily buy

Under the Volcker rule, banks don't have an investment arm. That's why the article is about Blackstone and Colony, rather than Bank of America or Wells Fargo.
What I meant is not that cursing government and companies is right. Only that it's not offensive in current culture. Like calling Afroamericans N-word was not offensive hundred years ago or so. It was perfectly socially acceptable and so common that no-one thought it was seriously offensive.
This is why medical regulation exists
Fair point, I didn't think it through very much. Jailbreak is inherently risky and the risk increases as the effort required to achieve becomes unsustainable without financial help.
This is quite interesting, although I wonder if it's possible to also generate non-looping race tracks. Noise would be great. For example, touge tracks in the mountains of Japan where you start at the top, and descend with very twisty roads.

Typically they'll submit links in the "Link" or "Name" field.

But as you say the majority of spam submissions will actually include a link in the body of the comment too.

(Actually many comments include the link with numerous variations: BBCode, HTML, and even Markdown formatted. As a heuristic it is easy to write off spam that uses three or more different linking stratagies - I do that in my blog-spam detection service @ http://blogspam.net/ )
You're telling people to not use colloquialisms. I can understand the resistance to an extent, but it seems like not only an effort of glacier punching, but a refusal to accept a linguistic trend that has existed long before Google was doing questionable things.
I remember that for my first PC, I bought a Pro AudioSpectrum card, which included Soundblaster compatibility. One of the things they included was a Modplayer. I can remember downloading a few mod files from Compuserve.
I don't think it's unreasonable to hold the extraordinarily wealthy to extraordinary standards.
(This is what I said on Twitter in response.)

So, yes: someone approached me with a potential jailbreak; the goal being to get a non-piracy-laden jailbreak out; this does not seem bad...

...in particular, I do not see how it is "backstabbing" @evad3rs (as some claim): it was unlikely to work, and was mostly just "having fun".

Also, I am not part of @evad3rs: they made that very clear to me. They never told me anything about their exploit. Should I not help others?

I guess now the argument is that if people come to me with a potential jailbreak, in order to not "backstab", I am not allowed to help them?

Regardless, I gave the iOS 7 Substrate build to evad3rs on September 30th, and all I needed to test was a new copy of redsn0w (not evasi0n).

I guess I don't understand "we really wanted TaiG's deal, so when we heard a rumor of an open jailbreak we were rushed: shame on saurik". :/

No, the only alternative isn't Detroit.
But do not program in COBOL if you can avoid it

This was my motto until i did a year or so consulting in RPG-III.
It's far less complicated than you make it out to be. Demand for housing has pushed prices up. Artificial constraints on housing construction by local city councils and zoning boards has limited the supply, further pushing prices up. Get rid of those constraints and you'll have lower prices for housing plus a lot of construction-related jobs to balance out the snobbish tech workers.
I think what they mean is that you can buy 100 stolen cards for $2000. And they guarantee that those 100 are still good numbers because they check them right after selling them.

No one is buying them in the millions. But plenty would buy 10, 20, 50 good stolen card numbers.
By and large, articles here should not step on 'ideological toes' because overtly political articles are not supposed to be here:

+1 I could not agree with you more. Add in the pressure on jobs like stacking shelves at Walmart, picking food, etc. that will result in better and cheaper robotics and AI.

I just finished a 4 month consulting gig at Google in Mountain View (wonderful experience but commuting from my home in Arizona wore me down). I found the Google culture and work environment to be great (and I am sure Facebook, Twitter, etc. are much the same) but I thought a lot about the effect on the effect on the local communities. My stepson is a fireman in the Bay Area and he gave me a heads up about how so many people resent what the influx of tech wealth has done to the character of communities.

I would personally be willing to give up some of my own wealth in return for a more equitable society. I don't see how we can have a great quality of life if there is social unrest and crass inequality.

What confuses me is that they seem to be making the assumption that if they are able to give good health in the later years, that the person will die at the same age they would have. Which seems unlikely.

Seems to me if they are in good health, they won't die (healthy people don't tend to). Eventually, though, they will be in bad health enough to die. In which case, it IS about longer life spans, since we'll still have the same problems, just at a later age.

I'm all for longer life (and I imagine they are too), but it seems to me that they are just trying to be politically correct by saying things like the above.
Blame, blame, blame. Blame companies and jobs for increasing the population in an area. Only in San Francisco.

While $2.9 ->BILLION<- DOLLARS are spent building a new trans bay center for the upcoming High Speed Rail Project linking it with Los Angeles. http://www.sfcta.org/delivering-transportation-projects/tran... which will bring even more people into San Francisco, the city that refuses to grow or change.

● No one in the city planning department understands housing supply and demand.

● San Fran is obsessed with itself; it wants everything to stay the same. Keep its views, keep its victorian houses, keep the skyline the same, keep Twitter and Tech Startups ->IN THE CITY<- yet somehow keep prices the same.

● San Francisco has had these issues long before all these tech jobs flooded the area. It's had these problems and flaws for a long time now and still hasn't addressed them the way a sane human being would.

● "Everything was fine until all these high paid tech jobs came in" says San Francisco. While cities all over America are spending millions trying to create their own silicon valley and kickstart gentrification to fix up blighted neighborhoods and pay for police and schools.

● The whole city is run on emotion rather than logic and compromise.

Blame those who fix up neighborhoods, increase property value, pay more property taxes that will go to schools and police, bring in more people to the bay area while NOT BLAMING the city for doing the exact same thing with it's polices. The city's busted politics are at fault. Not the tech companies, not the tech workers.
Out of curiosity, do you have anything more on what destroys the lenses? Heat/melting? Some form of radioactive dust?
If this was recently released, they sure have poor timing. If this has been around a while, seems like poor marketing.
I had a tough time searching when I came across that for the first time. Then I searched for bin/sh.
Last I checked Indians, Asians, Whites and all sorts of people from Jewish to Hindu are a part of silicon valley companies.

Next time you see a SV company, click on its about page and look at the faces before you turn this into a race issue.

So I actually store the rows as serialized JSON objects in my redis cache, and when a write occurs, I update the JSON representation in the cache (if it's not in the cache, I read it from the DB and store it there). After X hours, I have a daemon that goes through all expired keys, deserializes the JSON, and executes a transaction, updating 500 objects at a time. To prevent possible race conditions, you need a mutex to allow only 1 thread to modify the cache for that row.

Each object has a field that keeps track of what fields were updated, so I can construct an update query from that.

When I read a row from the DB, I first check if it's in the write through cache, if so I retrieve it there.

Of course, this means that all writes go through my cache. There can't be any other process that updates that table that avoids writing to the cache, or else we have database inconsistency.

This improved the load in my DB server by more than ten-fold, as well as the indexing time to my ElasticSearch server.
Wealthy people move in, raise property values, spur local economy, but displace lower-income families and the kinds of independent marginal businesses that served them. Or, wealthy people move out, property values plummet, services are slashed, land goes vacant, crime skyrockets, and kids can't safely get to school anymore.

What is the middle ground? I'm asking seriously. Imagine you were a city planner or the mayor of SF or Detroit or BDFL of California or whatever. What's your plan?
> so many people resent what the influx of tech wealth has done to the character of communities.

My parents met in the bay area, and... that ship has sailed. It used to be orchards and farms and rather bucolic, apparently. The fact that there are even "so many" people to resent the new arrivals is evidence of how much that area has changed in the past 50 years.
For AJAX the https://github.com/recamshak/django-debug-panel also works, although you need to install the matching chrome extension. (Don't know if it works yet with this new release of django-debug-toolbar).
GPL is only open to users who have a developer willing to distribute the code in a workable form. Given the GPL is often used in the "pay us if you want to ship" mode, I don't see much to recommend it versus BSD. GPL can die just as easily as BSD without developer support.
