I also need an implementation, but my fellow crypo researcher told me that there is the problem that no FHE can exist until we don't find a way to write onto the encrypted container as often as required, without damaging it's structure after only a few edits. So basically all current implementation existing (known to him) were not able to really qualify as a solution, because the inevitable destruction of the data after a limited number of edits. Another point was performance, but that wouldn't be a deal breaker according to him.

But he also said, that if someone finds a way to truly create an FHE-Scheme that works for unlimited amounts of edits, then it would be truly a ground-breaking thing to the whole crypto community. It's highly welcomed, but he is not that optimistic about it for the near future.
There was the DIF vm from dtrace too already, it would have been a better fit but that's difficult regarding linux.
Sure, any four (or 4 groups of two in this case) has the same chance of appearing. But... these were a "special" 4 under special circumstances. Coincidence? No way!! I was watching her practice! Context is a big part here. I would love to have a big data set of wheel rolls from all over broken into individual dealers and wheels. Collected without knowledge of the dealer of course (which would likely change that which is observed).
A response to the article's high-road argument: "In other words, Surface is the tablet equivalent of the HTC One: it is high end hardware in a market where Apple has already taken the high end."

It's not just that Apple has taken the high road, thanks to Tim Cook's supply chain magic woven over the past decade, Apple has taken the high road, and similarly almost always provides consistently higher end products at lower price points than the competition can offer, with impressive margins.

In other words, you must not only beat Apple's hardware quality (HTC One and Chromebook Pixel got this right, and maybe the Surface3), but you must offer it a lower price than Apple, and do so sustainably for the long haul (so subsidizing would require substantial force-of-will even for large companies). And then fight against Apple's continued "coolness factor" which some argue is dimming, but is still a marketing force to contend with.
I might be missing something, but if house prices rise just 1% annually, your differential would shrink dramatically in favor of ownership.
My Dad always claimed that daily showering killed off all the bacteria. I think we thought he was crazy.
I didn't see anything in the article that said "I stopped washing my hands after I used the bathroom" but I did see plenty about "I stopped using soaps and shampoos and other SHOWER related items".

I think you misunderstood the goal of the experiment and the method by which she did so. Culturing less-harmful bacteria which might crowd out more-harmful bacteria is actually a great thing.

The ultimate situation is where we're all covered in incredibly weaksauce bacteria that can be killed quite easily if need be, but in the meantime they out-compete all the truly nasty ones which are antibiotic-resistant. That way if someone gets an infection antibiotics (or scrubbing) will go a long way towards curing it in the rapidly-post-antibiotic era that some doctors think we are entering.

On the other hand, further down, that cloud offering is being retired:

"[CEO as of 2012] Rometty’s most significant investment has been SoftLayer Technologies, a smaller rival to Amazon in selling cloud computing to companies. IBM paid $2 billion for SoftLayer last summer, in the middle of its bruising CIA fight with Amazon, and afterward began to wind down its own corporate cloud product."

Whether SoftLayer's people can survive in IBM's culture ... well, look at this compared to, oh, Watson, Sr's 1911 "THINK":

"Last year [Rometty] began distributing black plastic cards bearing the phrase “One Purpose: Be essential” to IBM’s roughly 50,000 managers and has been known to demand to see them as she walks the halls. At IBM, even clarity is complicated—on the back of the cards are three values and nine instructions for making customers happy, including “Unite to get it done now” and “Treasure wild ducks.”"

And while the article doesn't mention that services as a business line are typically a race to the bottom, it does go into how the cloud looks like a game of thin margins, which doesn't fit IBM at all.

Lots more bad news further down.
It seems like the loudest outcries are people afraid of others not washing their hands after using the toilet.

The article doesn't explicitly say anything about it, but I didn't get the impression that any of those people (even the ones that haven't showered in years) weren't washing their hands after going to the bathroom.
He completely missed the entire point of Intents which isn't surprising since he's not experienced in Android (better said, he's just an iOS guy).
Who doesn't? I have my own /24 - registered back in the early 90's.
What's interesting is that other people have commented on the back button; see http://blog.codinghorror.com/the-one-button-mystique/ which I also find highly amusing for its link to the state diagram of what the one button does - simplicity? I think not!
There are some good reasons.

One, a B-52 can carry more than one nuclear bomb. You want the crew to remain in flying condition after dropping the first one so they can drop more.

Two, you can end up with pretty severe motivational problems if you don't at least make an effort to allow your pilots to return home. Even if you think it's unlikely that they'll make it home, you still want to give them the tools they need to try.

Three, it's not entirely unrealistic that some of them would make it home. Even if every landing strip was destroyed, they could parachute out. The idea that a nuclear war would be a 15-minute orgy of MAD didn't really happen until the 70s. Before that, ICBMs were limited in number and accuracy, and bombers would be carrying out a lot of the strikes, especially on military targets. The war could take a day or two, with B-52s and other bombers making multiple roundtrips. Even afterwards, there was no guarantee that a war between the superpowers would go from zero to full-scale MAD in an instant. It wasn't out of the question that B-52s might be called on for nuclear bombing of a small number of targets in some form of limited nuclear war.
There is nothing "nitpicking" about my correction of your misinformation (which you've now edited), and no, your point doesn't stand.

Taking an antibiotic does not kill ALL bacteria in a host, which is what you said before you edited your post. Nor can it be accurately said that antibiotics kill "nonselectively", whatever that means.

As a physician, when I've prescribed an antibiotic for your streptococcal infection or your pneumonia or whatever, you haven't been at any particular risk for "bacterial overgrowth" (whatever that means), "acne", or even "odor". But please feel free to link to some package inserts that list the relative risks and data for "bacterial overgrowth", "acne", and "odor" from popularly prescribed antibiotics.

And no, you're not at risk for "bacterial overgrowth" from washing with soap and water, of all things.

Antibiotics ARE overused. Antibiotic soaps are silly. Both help create antibiotic-resistant strains.

But scaring people who might benefit from antibiotics with misinformation about risks from "bacterial overgrowth" and simply washing with soap and water, while pushing "probiotics" puts people in about the same camp as the anti-vaccine anti-science crowd.

This entire N=1 post is laughable psuedo-science, which appears to have brought out the rest of the "reason from anecdote" crowd.
Can you explain a little more? This sounds like a three-tier architecture, but that isn't something I'd normally describe as "minimal."
In M34, a user can still use getUserMedia with a screen media source as long as they enable the flag.

In M35+, the flag will no longer appear. Thus, the only way to get a screen media source (tab, screen, window etc.) in the first place is to use the chooseDesktopMedia API. That will give you a source id to use with the getUserMedia API.
I've worked with women my whole life in tech. I sit right next to one currently and she's an awesome talent and from what I can tell is an equal member of the team. I do see some passive things like their opinions not being heard as much and I think that has almost as much to do with how they speak (not with confidence) as it does their gender. I try to make a point to listen more carefully and help promote the ideas of my female coworkers when they are good. I've never seen nor heard of any of the more overt things mentioned in the blog post like being groped or anything of the sort. Probably the worst I've heard is the guys lamenting that there are no women on the team and commenting that they can't find women interviewees that have the skills required for the type of project we were doing.
I color my hair with vivid colors, and shampooing daily quickly deteriorates the color. So I learned to start treating my hair less often.

It turns out that many male-grooming/hair care experts recommend you shampoo at most once or twice a week, and to not "lather" the shampoo, but instead rub it on top and downward to prevent breaking up the oils on your scalp & in your roots. The rest of the time you do the same procedure, but with just conditioner instead of shampoo.

Besides this method, I also use a kind of spray-on hair treatment and conditioner that's loaded with all kinds of healthy crap I don't understand, but basically keeps my hair healthy while also giving it weight so I can style it. By adding water I can comb out whatever dirt the conditioner+water loosens. So I don't need to wash my hair daily, and it doesn't get greasy.

I will say that without at least washing my hair it begins to itch after a week, especially if i've been exercising. So while this product is interesting, there's definitely some kind of cleaning that needs to be done on a regular basis.

Can you expand a bit more on the type of commercial agreements and confidentiality requirements of Boeing? In particular, what kind of data would the agreements pertain to, and who would the other parties be? Would the 'hoops' occur only for internal data transmission, or is it because they need to share it with 3rd-party organisations? I'm a researcher in the area, and I'm familiar with stuff like that from the healthcare domain, where you have e.g. lots of different hospitals that want to share certain data for research purposes, but I'm curious as to the use cases more commercial organisations might have.

There is probably a market for some of The Knowledge folks. Someone gets into a cab, announces their destination, and the cell phone in the back seat transmits his voice to The Knowledge person sitting in an air-conditioned office at a PC. That person then uses his knowledge and skills, combined with a live street map of actual traffic conditions right now, to put a path into the driver's GPS.

I'm hand-waving that this market would support maybe a quarter of the old positions for a while. It's probably time to restrict new entrants and let the current workers attrition out.
I don't know, I found that both entertaining and insightful.
I have heard this argument a lot, and I've also heard there is data to refute it. I haven't looked up the references, but this is covered in several nutrition books I have read, including: The Diet Delusion by Gary Taubes, In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan, and The Perfect Health Diet by Paul Jaminet.

The observation is always the same: Cancer is one of the "western diseases" that starts appearing in native populations when they are exposed to colonists. And it's not just because of longer lives: people start getting cancer at higher rates at earlier ages.

Taubes blames the problem on insulin-like growth hormone that is secreted in response to high-carbohydrate foods, and creates an environment perfect for rapid cell growth. Pollan doesn't speculate on the cause, other than to say that there is something wrong with the western diet. Jaminet speculates that we will find more types of cancer are cause by infectious agents, since cell immortality and rapid reproduction is a perfect strategy for a virus and since we have found several so far: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infectious_causes_of_cancer
OK, have you ever been to London? Have you ever taken a taxi in London? Because it sounds a lot like you haven't and you're still applying experiences from elsewhere. The fact that you even refer to "taxi companies" suggests that you do not understand the London taxi market.

London cabbies are highly trained, and I've never had a customer service issue with them. At least part of this is because of how highly regulated they are - it's pretty laughable to hold up Uber and "your driver but they're not a professional driver" services as places you'll get a better experience.
That's kind of funny. "It's not understandable without the video" can be complete agreement or complete disagreement with what I'm saying depending on what "it" is. Stupid language.
This part is funny, app interoperability is a huge feature. Some people should just stay on iOS I guess. I love that I can click a link and have various ways of understanding or consuming it. I guess there needs to be some tweaking around how and when it saves preferences for these intents, but personally this is a big part of the reason I'm on Android.
The belief that government spending is zero-sum wrt private spending.
The getUserMedia API is still fairly early. If the OP used the chooseDesktopMedia API in concert with getUserMedia and built a Chrome Extension, you wouldn't have to do any of these work-arounds.

I expect an enormous number of Chrome Extensions that do all sorts of web-based screen recording & sharing in the coming months.
Each plane has more than one planned target, so they need to be able to fly on after hitting the first one. Early versions (before introducing stand-off missiles and cruise missiles) carried up to 8 free-fall bombs.

In the outbound direction they would get aerial-refueled over the arctic, so I don't think they can make a roundtrip. I've read (but don't have any authoritative sources) that the war-plan called for flying to western europe at the end of the mission, but that during simulator training they just shut down the simulator and stepped out after hitting the last target.
Wouldn't this type of verbosity just increase the length of lines, not the line count?

Yep. What's funny about HTC in particular is some of their additional features such as disabling apps and hiding them from the launcher, even if they're uninstallable, exist purely to work around some of the crap they've burdened the system with.

I've worked with Android for basically the whole time it's been around, and in that time never saw a single manufacturer led user interface change that represented an improvement. Supposedly the Chinese ones do, but I've never had the chance.

This isn't to say stock is perfect, but people underestimate just how much the OEMs have messed with in their efforts for software differentiation absolutely no one really wants.
CHY872 is right. Who benefits most from this are governments, spy-agencies, military and a small a solid number of security-aware civilists. This is right as long as nobody enforces FHE to the government, but I doubt that it would occur in the USA at this time from that side. If it happens at all, which I also highly doubt, then it maybe somewhere in Europe.

For hopefully the last time, I'm not talking about the bacteria in the product. All human beings defecate. Many (most?) clean themselves afterwards with their hands. If you do not practise adequate hygiene with a surfactant-based cleanser, those faecal bacteria are still stuck to the skin afterwards and transfer to anything you touch, where they may be picked up by someone else who is not in a position to deal with them. This is not an appeal to emotion, it is a fact which I happen to have had personal experience of.
Right. But getting angry at him is not productive. Either convince the government to enforce the law, get the law changed, or use the same weakness in the law yourself.

Again, you've missed the point. If you want a monolithic experience in the One True Way, that appears to be the iOS main feature. The photos app is NOT the perfect example because there's plenty times I want a full gallery since I'll want to share something else and sometimes when I want just a preview. eReaders are also great examples for when you need choices.

If the user is afraid of clicking one icon vs another when presented with the initial decision, I don't know what to say. It's literally explained as you use it.
Neat. How does the hovering work? Is that also using capacitive sensing?
Customization isn't a flaw. Obsessing over customizability, to the point where you fail to notice glaring flaws in the user interface and the behavior of the device, is a flaw.

According to https://hcrypt.com/scarab-library/, the functions that you can do on encrypted texts are

Add cyphertexts (= XOR)
Multiply cyphertexts (= AND)
Add with carry in and carry out
Add with carry out

I'm not really familiar with homomorphic theory, but it doesn't seem like you could build that much on top of these primitives.

Thank you for making better points than I did. I feel like there is no "discussion" here, just blatant attacks on anyone who disagrees with any of the conclusions made by the authors.
Insulting iOS users is not a productive way to start a discussion.

1) It's fair to let people choose a different app (I know many people really want this on iOS), but I think his complaint is valid. There are many situations where it's completely unclear to a new user why they should use app X over Y for photo management/SMS/etc. To ask them before they've even used the app the first time nearly ensures they're not ready to make that decision. Sensible defaults and perhaps delaying the prompting until the device notices the user uses an alternate app a couple of times may be a better way to handle this.

3) Why should it matter if my HTC One came from a T-Mobile store or not? The fact that they behave differently (and especially that T-Mobile's support isn't prepared for that) is clearly an issue. I think the voicemail note is telling. How many people, upon buying a new phone, would think "I need to go download a special app to get my voicemail working"?

4) HTC took something that worked fine and made it more confusing. That's clearly a design mistake.

5) If something doesn't work reliably, that's a design issue. Especially if it used to work.

> But I stopped reading past that [...] I only saw "iOS is right" in some places.

That's not what I saw. Rorschach test for your preference for Android/iOS perhaps?
What's bugging me are the trolling comments about how she doesn't deserve help because she's a feminist. I suppose this is to be expected these days, though.

you think your average Londoner cares? all they want is a service that gets them where they want to go; a random guy off the street with a £150 satnav will do this 95% of the time without issue, for a lot less than the same ride in a black cab.

It is possible that you could have FHE primitives that are not sufficient to build a Turing complete interpreter. Otherwise, you can clearly construct a completely obfuscated system by nesting FHE inside an interpreter run inside FHE... though that is likely to be slow enough to be completely impractical.
That post credits Square with the refund method, but actually they were not the first.

The author specifically addressed this defense in his post — basically, Google owns Android. Whatever an OEM does, they're doing it with Google's tacit support. If that makes the experience awful, Google still has responsibility (though certainly not exclusive responsibility).

Which is a natural function of an increase in the number of pages you like and the number of friends you have, an in crease in the number of pieces of content they produce and your non-increasing attention span. You will see less of content from any one source as a function of time. The source can work around this by producing more interesting content that the algorithm decides you're more likely to want to see or by paying to have their content shown to you.
> Regulation exists to protect consumers.

Some regulation, sure. But quite often it exists to protect producers and consumer protection is merely an excuse, and even regulation passed with the genuine intention of protecting consumers often has the effect of protecting producers.
