Police use judgment, not just about giving you a ticket, but when and where they will look for infractions, so it's not a reverse lottery. It's not random. The think of the children argument is often used to enhance laws and punishments. I don't really mind the GPS everywhere tracking, but what you're asking for is ridiculous even to me.

Evolution has ingrained competitiveness in us and its our way of proving our little section of the world produces better things than yours.

This looks revolutionary! Two questions...

1. All the examples show attaching to an already running process. Is there a way to inject into a process from the moment it starts? I've got something I've been wanting to look at that is packed and the part I want to analyze happens right after unpacking but before UI comes up.

2. It looks like this would work even with software that uses some of the anti-debugging techniques like checking for an attached debugger etc... Is that right?
You're correct. Litecoin will go mainstream - just like bitcoin. Believe it or not but bitcoin only represents 75 percent of the cryptocurrency market [1]

But people should'nt forget that bitcoin has thousands of GigaHashes per second pointed at the network and litecoin (nor any other altcoin) doesn't. Therefore, in the short term future (next 3-5 yrs) I would says that 25 percent of of the market cap will be altcoins and 75 percent will be bitcoin.

Removing the amount of choices in front of people allows people to feel more confident about theirs.

If you give them the option for 4Gb, 8Gb, 16Gb and 32Gb instead of limiting to 16Gb lots of people will freeze and never make a choice or get frustrated when they see the markup for 32Gb and avoid buying altogether because of that.

In limiting the amount of upgradable RAM on their sales page they show you choices that are most likely going to be easy to sell.
There is no 85 line program that needs 465 lines of documentation. The developer was clearly over-zealous. The second Haskell developer was a college student who learned Haskell a week earlier; so obviously they are going to take longer.
"Tough on crime" policies rarely change behavior. It just puts more people in jail and creates more public dissent in communities.

Perfect law enforcement is what exactly? Reducing incorrect stops and searches? Or trading everyone's privacy for accurate and efficient punishment?
Yes that's a classic tradeoff, a proficient programmer will have to pick one.

Personally I always read entire files into memory first unless I have reason to believe memory will be an issue or need to program defensively against malicious/careless input. The code is always much cleaner and easier to read and if you need to do a second pass on the data you don't need to re-read it from disk.
Some countries have found a third option: instead of a $300 fine, you pay a $100 bribe.

Except if you run the bribing scheme, but in the greater scheme of things, there are more people not running the scheme than people running the scheme.

People who play sport with nearly all their time from age 10 or so are going to be less academically developed - that's not necessarily a tragedy in and of itself, although it might be a shame.

That's not the issue here. The issue is that in the USA, apparently, these athletes are all enrolled in higher education courses that they will either fail or drop out of. In the UK, and Europe, athletes aren't required to pursue such courses as part of their athletic development - they can go straight from school to professional sport, via privately run clubs which maintain youth teams and leagues.
You will be waiting a very long time. UHD@144Hz requires 40Gbit/sec of bandwidth. DisplayPort 1.3 (which is not generally available yet), only supplies 25Gbit. HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.2 are 14 & 17, respectively.

Feature toggles (and Branch by Abstraction) can figure, yes. Facebook do dark launches, which is related - http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=96390263919

Developers, if they are local branching, are not marshaling long running 'in progress' changes there. By habit they're working on something that's going to hit the trunk after a matter of hours or a day or three. They might flip to a new branch for a defect fix (and push that), before coming back to the thing they were working on.

GHash.IO is not news. If you were going to invest in Bitcoin, you were supposed to learn about how it works. It's not hard to understand that building a huge mining farm does not require zillions of money. Especially, if you expect BTC value to grow a lot, you should have accepted that there will be huge interest in mining. If you still feel that BTC is a good deal and miners with 50+% of hashrate won't be dishonest in practice, then you buy. Otherwise you don't. Everyone who is skeptical does not go into this game, and those who move the price to $1000, accept it. (Those who don't learn much about BTC, but still buy are most probably short-term speculators who quickly exit the game anyway; or eventually stay and learn.)

I don't think I've ever come across Perl code that uses "shift->method()" to access "this" but once. Maybe I just haven't look at enough code on CPAN, or maybe I just remember that instance because it was an entire file that was meant to be production code that could have been an entry into a Perl golf competition.

I understand that in Perl OO code, the first argument is 'this', but most code I've come across takes the time to actually name variables because the aim isn't write-once, read-never.

Thanks for posting this. It's good to finally have a rationale for why glossy has dominated matte in recent years beyond the one I've heard over and over ("glossy looks better at first glance in a Best Buy"). If it's truly a matter of price, I suppose it's fair that only professional monitors use matte screens.

I for one be willing to pay a modest premium for matte.

I know an accounting joke:

An engineer and an accountant are on a train when they pass between two fields of sheep.

"Boy, there are a lot of sheep in those fields." says the engineer.

"There are 1,005" says the accountant.

"How do you know?"

"Well, there are about 1,000 in that field, and there are 5 in the other one."
We ran into this in out application the other day, and it's a surprisingly "normal" thing to do to result in a hard crash of a browser.

I'm especially curious if anyone knows:

1. Is there any hope of this being fixed in the near-term? The MS bug report didn't have much information. I'd sure like to avoid implementing the somewhat crazy workaround if I can help it.

2. It seems like this ought to be a pretty widespread problem. Are others seeing it? Are there other workarounds that aren't so ugly?

I just bought a ford taurus. It immediately connects my cell phone to my car and I sorta get the feeling like the cops that sit on the eway have access to the computer in my car and also the cell phone connected to that computer. But hey thats just my paranoia.

On another note, it was very clear checking off do not track in the vehicle. The only reason they say they want to track is for data like the exec gives the example for, traffic analysis etc. not like daily tracking. But it is creepy and really I dont know if all the benefits balance out the potential drawbacks.

There is also this notification in the myfordsync system that is "911 Assist".. now this is a fine option, but literally the car will remind you everytime you start it that it is off and unless you select otherwise, it won't just alert you, but will give you the option to turn it on.

This quote was taken out of context and generalized, I assume purposely, to unjustly raise the alarm level. According to the Business Insider article, he was specifically referring to speeding violations.

From http://www.businessinsider.com/ford-exec-gps-2014-1:

"Because of the GPS units installed in Ford vehicles, Ford knows when many of its drivers are speeding, and where they are while they're doing it." He also said "I absolutely left the wrong impression about how Ford operates. We do not track our customers in their cars without their approval or consent."

The iPhone in your pocket can do much more damage to you in terms of incriminating evidence than Ford can.

Edit: op added his second paragraph after I, and several others, replied. While the second paragraph is more reasonable on it's own, I still highly disagree with the implied reasoning of the first paragraph.

I disagree vehemently.

People drive a speed they feel comfortable driving. Full Stop.

The only time a speed limit sign changes behavior in the vast majority of drivers (in the US anyway) is when a cop is present.

The smarter way to reduce speed in the sections of road that actually are more dangerous is to make them look more dangerous, for example by painting lines on the road that make you think you're travelling faster than you are.

There are major roads where, except for rush hour, 100% of cars on the road are travelling well above the speed limit because it is set far too low for a modern vehicle driving on a multi-lane, fairly straight highway.

This causes a fairly similar attitude toward speed limits that a large percentage of the population has toward pot: you scaremonger about something that obviously isn't dangerous in 95% of cases (pot / 35 MPH, 6 lane roads), which makes the remaining 5% of cases that are actually dangerous (Heroin / sharp turn with low visibility) seem less dangerous because you spent so much effort to conflate the two.

Meanwhile, we're unable to have a sober conversation about the subject that results in speed limits and road laws that make sense because of think of the children! scaremongering, e.g., "children on their way to school also lose the reverse lottery, but instead of a $300 fine, they die."

The legal implications of jamming are that it is illegal. You would be better off clipping the wires to the GPS antenna, or if it is a separate component, disconnecting and removing the GPS module entirely. It was actually very easy to disable the Onstar module in my vehicle this way.

Reference for jamming legality in the United States: http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/jammer-enforcement
The fact that you can't have complete security is not an argument for abdicating the effort, nor a valid criticism of anything that moves in the right direction. At least you can get to a better position in terms of (a) lower probability of compromise and (b) imposing more time and expense on the adversary.
I'm pretty sure GPS jammers are illegal in the US, though. I guess if you wanted to wrap the antenna in aluminium foil, that wouldn't be a problem.
Are you suggesting that large companies never build products that are useless? Never launch anything that nobody uses? Never waste effort?

If they do, then perhaps they should focus their development on waste reduction, rather than prematurely optimise for problems which aren't there yet, and which may never exist, like end-of-lifing a product that doesn't even exist yet...
In the last 10-15 years, GMU has exploded as a regional university in the mid-Atlantic. It's a huge change from the small commuter school it used to be back in the 80's and 90's. I think it's for the best, Northern Virginia has no world class universities despite being one of the largest metro-areas in the U.S. It's geographically in a prime location to assume that mantle.

I have relatives as far afield as Arkansas trying desperately to get their kids into it, only to be disappointed when they don't and end up having to send their kids to Georgetown or UMB or something. It's apparently become quite selective.

Also, if you want to hear about it in the news, a few of the faculty from literature and a couple other departments are constantly on NPR. Which is interesting because since NPR is in D.C., you'd expect them to have more faculty from GWU and Georgetown. I think I hear "George Mason" on the radio at least once a week these days.

I looked up the rankings https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Mason_University

And apparently it's pretty solidly a Tier-1 school now. Kinda crazy, it used to just be this weird tier-3 local offshoot of UVA.

I've received a single speeding ticket in my life. It was from an automated camera set up on a section of freeway where the speed limit is 45 and the average speed of traffic is about 60. There's a speed camera set up there. The trick is that the camera can't be certain of which car it's tracking unless there's only one car in view. Given the density of traffic there, it's a total crapshoot as to whether you'll be alone in the camera's field of view as you go past. Given the speed of traffic there, it's difficult, and dangerous, to drive slow enough not to get a ticket if you are.

And this is hardly unique, of course. Cops operate under similar constraints (although they can tell cars apart better than a camera system) and their placement is unpredictable.

There are certainly non-random components, but there are substantial random components too.

I would prefer to go the opposite route: don't write laws unless they can be enforced effectively. This prevents us from perfect or automated enforcement of terrible laws, and also cuts down on the amount of "nice to have" legislation. It's certainly a guideline for voting for a representative.

Wearing AKG K550s do not cause any fatigue for me. Well, I guess one has to try before going all in on headphones. I personally don't like the sound from loudspeakers. Well there are some setups that I like but I have neither the budget nor the suitable place =)

By the way, don't your k550s also leak? However I adjust the pads, it still feels like everyone could hear what I'm listening. Never tested them by making someone else wear them but they feel not tight enough so never bothered to bring them to the workplace. I'm working in a shared office, so it really matters. Currently I'm using my M50s but k550s are so much better and if it's not as bad as I thought, I'd definitely use them instead.

From the about:

Our products are freedom-compatible. Meaning they will work with just about any free software operating system. This is made possible by selling products with free software compatible chipsets.

Free software is a set of principles that ensure end-users retain full control over their computer. Free software can be used, studied, and modified without restriction.

The chipsets we use encourage community development and user participation. Users can not be locked into a vendor or product, be forced into an expensive upgrade, or have other digital restrictions placed on them.
You can turn the Assist notification off under Settings somewhere (under Phone, maybe?), for what it's worth.
Traffic violations are so common that I think perfect enforcement would almost instantaneously lead to changes in the law.

The first day of perfect enforcement in Northern Virginia, for example, would lead to about two million tickets being issued. After the entire legislature had been strung up by their thumbs, the new legislature would no doubt realign all speed limits and other laws to match how people actually drive, rather than some insane ideal of how they should.
