> So not completely awesome.

I don't think I understand your point. By awesome I meant it's a very exciting/interesting field of research. I don't mean to call thermodynamics awesome because it powers cars or because it's a well research field.

Trying to understand how the brain works or making a computer that works in a similar way is awesome to me. If there are still computational limitations that makes it not practical, that's still an awesomely interesting subject.
Very well, I think. Look at data from Amnesty International for example, for more information about the prevalence of torture in the world.

I don't want to name specific countries (I've had enough of the downvotes) but it should be deeply obvious that this poisoned fruit doctrine has no correlation to police misconduct. (As would be expected, the risk of letting a criminal walk free is not much of a personal risk to take.)
It looks like it is first a low layer hypervisor kernel support and then a library that provides virtualized cpu, network, graphics, IO, etc (the equivalent of this layer in Microsoft's Hyper-V is called Enlightment IO, IIRC).

If you look at the architecture diagrams for vbox/vmware etc. you'll see they all have their own implementations of each library to do this on OS X. This is where the performance difference comes from. With Hypervisor.framework and each of the virtualization firms porting their platforms to it, it means this performance difference mostly disappears and the vendors can focus on improving the higher layers.

When Microsoft did this in Windows, the ecosystem exploded. One difference is that Microsoft built and released tools and apps at the higher layers, such as application virtualization with App-V (where they compete with Citrix and VMWare). It doesn't look like Apple will do that, yet - but what it does mean is that someone can port or implement a common virtualization layer on OS X and bring better, cheaper, more accessible and open app virtualization to OS X (with great performance).

It is a pretty big deal with potentially a lot of interesting opportunities and applications. There isn't enough information available about it yet, though (or I simply haven't found it) - someone with more familiarity with the tech and virtualization in general will likely dump info about it and what it would mean when we get more information about it and are closer to 10.10 going gold (the virtualization co's porting their platforms to support 10.10 will likely be an issue).

edit: to add, the good thing about making Hypervisors built into the OS, having an abstraction layer on top of that, and then on the other end having Docker abstract the tech is that suddenly everything becomes portable and developers can focus on the more value add features (since core virtualization tech becomes commoditized)
I call bullshit. There's nothing in the while article that proves drinking is healthy. The author heavily relies on the wrong logic of "correlation means causality".

I agree that ember is better than angular but there is no reason why angular should run faster in chrome so it is not really relevant to your first point. In fact apart from Dart I can't think of any web technology that Google is promoting to developers that will be faster in chrome.
As another poster pointed out, it is that the purity of the criminal justice system is more important than any given case.

In any case there is more than just the accused on trial. Always and ever the system is on trial as well. If it were not then there would be insufficient checks and balances. Most importantly, putting the system on trial routinely is necessary, because while one man (one murderer, one rapist, one thief) can do a considerable amount of harm to others and society if set free in error the system is capable of doing much, much more damage if it is allowed to become corrupt, abused, misused, etc.

One serial killer might kill hundreds. A corrupt system can kill thousands, or millions.
Looks okay to me.

Stop making up stuff. I never said GC is in the language specification; instead was responding _specifically_ to your own statement about C# being supported well by the Mono runtime. I assumed it was fairly obvious what I stated: for C# to work you need the runtime (with the GC) and the Mono implementation while being good enough, lagged Microsoft's for a long time. Still does probably by a bit.

In short, I don't believe we need a single Dart VM any more than we need a single HTML rendering engine. I don't believe Mozilla (and others) have to depend on Google engineers for anything in their product, even if it is Open Source. I don't believe a single company should go about extending the web by leveraging market dominance; like Google is doing right now.

Our positions are very clear here, and we disagree. That's fine.
To be fair to our protectors,

they don't remember how to serve a warrant any other way.
The TCP packet is not in the 'packet header'. Both the Ethernet and IP frames precede it. How can you possibly suggest that a HTTP header doesn't count, but a TCP packet does?

Weev you are disqualified due to your incorrect assertions from being an expert commentator :D
Haskell suffers from people who want to make things look clean and achieve it by using symbols and very short names. These things have to be memorized before you can understand anything.

Basically, people are trying to make Haskell code look like math and the truth is that math's symbolic notation is optimized for hand writing speed, /not/ reading comprehension.

Take a look at Ada code. Maybe they're taking it a bit far, but it's very readable. Spelling words out and being very very sparing with symbols is a very good thing, I think.
If by we, you mean Ulbricht's lawyers, I'm sure they're on it since illegal search is basically his only defense.

We, the HN community, could probably find plenty of worthy people to advocate for that don't go around paying for assassinations.
The strength of Bittorrent comes from the network. If you start with little to no peers, you will have a hard time convincing users to migrate. If you can leverage the existing Bittorrent network, you will be able to build something meaningful much more easily.
If you are really smart enough to be a doctor and still think that money matters, then the best route is -> Ivy -> IB -> PE/HF.

The thirty somethings in my son's firm take home over 3M a year. One of the owners took home over 800M a couple of years ago.

Compared to remunerations like that, doctors get a miserable pittance.
As I said earlier, evidence is evidence. It is not illegal or legal for the purpose of establishing guilt. It can be more or less trustworthy, but legality does not play into it.

The appropriate questions to ask in that situation would be "does this evidence really say what we think it does", and "are there reasons to believe this evidence is fabricated?", not "how was it procured?".

The people responsible for a warrantless search should of course be brought to justice, and at least lose their jobs, but as a separate matter.
>The underlying argument here seems to be that if the
evindence was procured via unlawful means, then Ulbricht
should go free even he is guilty of the crime.

If they don't provide the packetlogs, it's not that the evidence is procured via unlawful means, it's that there's no evidence!

And if there's no evidence, why would you claim that Ross is guilty of the crime?
"(either missing a heat sink, or too much voltage drop across, or the circuit needs something more powerful)"

Starting in the 80s Low Drop Out LDO regs started hitting the market, using mosfets as the pass transistor instead of bipolar trans (and a few other changes) means you can run with much lower voltage drops.

However, legendarily, the bipolar voltage drop automagically provided some oscillation dampening and the LDO regs are notorious for being unstable, almost as much of a PITA as using a switching reg, almost. So sometimes with reactive (usually inductive) load at certain currents and voltages, they turn into little RF oscillators. Sometimes the oscillation is too high of a freq to interest the overheating and other self protection ckts so they literally catch fire and so on.

These 80s stereotypes of LDO regs have been continually improved since the 80s so they're somewhat more stable now.

Part of the shocker of both the bad 7805s in the story and the oscillating 80s era LDOs is the 7805 series used to be legendarily bulletproof because they have a lot of self protection circuitry built in. Blowing one up is non-trivial compared to most other chips. Usually decent reverse current protection, some reverse polarity protection, overheating protection, short ckt protection, they're pretty touch chips, so its surprising when they aren't.
I understand your point but it seems like this approach ends up making security dependent on an a very deep stack of technology solutions, each rather fragile (as this post and thread demonstrate).

I wonder if it wouldn't make more sense to do a first principles analysis of what needs to be protected and then design mechanisms at the appropriate level of abstraction to ensure that these requirements are met. It seems to me that this is the approach that has been traditionally taken in OS level design and I agree that it hasn't worked very well. But I wonder if that isn't more because applications and environments are not being carefully designed to take advantage of the OS level security mechanisms that already exist.

Personally I would feel more confident depending on a robust kernel level security mechanism than a hodgepodge of application level fixes that depend on everything from compiler optimizations to CPU caching mechanisms.

Are there really no other juridicial consequences for breaking what I understand to be a constitutional law?

Perhaps there need to be. Perhaps consequences much more severe than letting a criminal walk free.
No, please explain what is wrong with it. You can't expect people to look at a font and reach the same subjective conclusions you have.

TCP is a packet-switched protocol. HTTP is a socket-based protocol. HTTP as a protocol is a stream of bits that is carried within the data segments of a packet-based transit protocol. HTTP itself does not have a "packet header". TCP has a packet header, as one can simply verify by googling "TCP packet header". Go do some learnin', bro.
Sounds promising!

Apple would need to document the virtual device interfaces so that Linux/BSD in-guest drivers can be developed by the open-source community. Until then, only OSX-on-OSX would work.

Hopefully the Apple hypervisor can be disabled, e.g. if someone wants to run OS X on VMware on Windows on Mac hardware, or OS X on KVM on Linux on Mac hardware.
Actually thats the junction temp so unless you have an infinitely thermally efficient package and heatsink, if you're boiling water the innards are way out of spec.

Also check out the temperature derating curves.

That series has a thermal shutdown ckt so "operating nominally" above boiling pt is kind of hard to define.

There are also non-regulator thermal issues, like most cases are not designed to operate continually at 125C internal temps, and the electrolytic caps nearby the reg have their lifetimes drop with some polynomial of temp above room temp so smoking hot reg isn't good for everything nearby even if isolated by itself it would be OK.

Finally the general idea is still true, that you can get a nice 2nd degree burn or think something is "really hot" at a temp well below rated.

There are plenty of high power transistors rated to 150C junction temp. Not impossible with a really good package and heatsink (low thermal resistance) and good assembly technique to be able to boil water on one of those. As a stunt in the lab everyone tries this sooner or later to see if their anti-thermal runaway ckt is good enough and their assembly technique is good enough.
I don't think it's a matter of status so much as an issue of "typeface credibility" -- Comic Sans says "what's written in this font shouldn't be taken seriously." Serif fonts are on the "serious" end of the credibility spectrum, sans fonts are in the centre, and then "fun" fonts like CS occupy the "not serious" end.

This isn't a bad thing -- the pre-association people have for different classes of fonts make it easier to convey messages in branding and marketing. It makes us distinguish between stories in newspapers and magazines (which we should remember) from frivolity that we could easily forget. With fonts, the medium is a significant part of the message.
Weev you know me, you also know I'm right. TCP as a protocol is a stream of bits carried within the data segments of a frame based transit protocol. Both TCP and HTTP have headers.
Do you think there would be many people calling for the resignation of a rogue cop who flagrantly violated the law but in the process managed to solve a much higher than average number of crimes?
BuzzFeed comes not to bury newspapers, but to improve on them
Prosecutors can write whatever fiction they want in a criminal complaint. The false criminal complaint I was once extradited on, for example, was based upon a fictitious claim that AT&T was headed in New Jersey, when a simple search of SEC Edgar or Wikipedia can verify that it is headquartered in Dallas, Texas. Federal agents have been caught lying multiple times to everyone from the public to Congress, and yet for some reason people still consistently take the garbage they say seriously.

> John Tukey almost always dressed very casually. He would go into an important office and it would take a long time before the other fellow realized that this is a first-class man and he had better listen. For a long time John has had to overcome this kind of hostility. It's wasted effort! I didn't say you should conform; I said ``The appearance of conforming gets you a long way.'' If you chose to assert your ego in any number of ways, ``I am going to do it my way,'' you pay a small steady price throughout the whole of your professional career. And this, over a whole lifetime, adds up to an enormous amount of needless trouble.
But who would enforce those consequences? The same cops who benefit from the illegal evidence?
Awesome place. I used to study at QUT and go up north for fishing in the weekend.
The purpose of a court is not to establish guilt. It's only job is to produce an outcome based on law.
The problem is that fonts are used to signify tone.

When I see Comic Sans, the tone I read the text in is "cartoon dog." Although this particular interpretation may be just me, I believe many people have similarly toned readings (it comes down to cultural interpretation of symbols...). So, it is jarring and inappropriate for many people to see Comic Sans, in certain contexts.

There are many equally legible fonts out there which do not signal "cartoon dog" or similar. So, yes, you can can present your research in the voice of a cartoon dog. But, it is pretty tone deaf.
It kinda works here because the shared files are already very popular, and there's a lot of seeders (ie peers who have 100% of the file and can share any part).

It wouldn't work for unpopular files.
True. And in the end, this even applies to functional or declarative programming
I suggest you read the SCOTUS opinions in the cases that generated the exclusionary[1] and other "prophylactic" rules. The judiciary has created several, including this one and the Miranda warnings[2], in order to protect the integrity of the judiciary. The opinions lay out why the court felt it necessary to do so.

"killed" might be a bit strong, but the overall story of "stop working on perl 5 in favor of working on perl 6" contains some aspects of the concept.
"If you still don't trust us, we encourage you to download the source, build it yourself and run the service on your own hardware."

Or you could just download debian's ca-certificates package and cat together all the .crt files you choose into a .pem. Much quicker & simpler.
Comments on compiler speed as a problem? I find it sometimes to be a bit slow.
Don't worry too much about what platform you initially develop your app for -- if you can validate your concept then it shouldn't be hard to find assistance porting it to other platforms.

Too many people get tied up on "what platform should I develop for?" when they could be spending that time getting an MVP up on _something_, validating it and getting the ball moving.
Constitutional rights are not quaint. Protecting them is not quaint. The idea that letting some criminals walk free would be a good way to deter police from breaking these laws seems very much so, at least to an outsider. That is why I asked.

It seems to me the best market research is to try your idea with a minimum viable product. In the Dinnr case that I think would be somethig like a website saying "fancy this for dinner we'll deliver it for £25, phone this number", made with some free website builder (wix etc), the bloke with his bike ready to answer the phone, pop to Sainsbury's and deliver stuff, and promotion by mailing their mates on facebook, twitter and the like. Total cost ~0 apart from some time. For feedback they could have phoned any customers a few days later to ask if they liked it. This may have been a better way to start than raising £60k via Seedrs (https://www.seedrs.com/post_investment/9369/round_details/19...) and spending "9 hours a day, 6 days a week, sitting in a cold warehouse in West Acton" perhaps.
For me, the applied skills I learned at a startup made me a much more attractive prospect. I can speak from experience about the relative strengths and weaknesses of machine learning models on real data, instead of the somewhat sterilized and over-used datasets often passed around in academia. It means a higher salary when I did jump ship into corporate-land.

Plus, it was just plain fun. Startups are the closest thing to the intellectual excitement and curiosity of grad school I've found in the private sector.
HTTP does have a header, but what is carried within the data sections of TCP/IP packets created by the establishment of an HTTP socket are not packets. HTTP is not in itself a packet switched protocol. It forms a circuit. Seriously, your CCNA does not make you a networking expert.
I, for one, welcome new research. But it also needs to be demonstrated in practice before it can be used in practice. Until then, it's all hypotheticals and wishful thinking. Unicorns, basically.

In the meanwhile, I do what I can to review, audit, and apply best practices at application level. These are the things we can do here and now. These are things that are already in use to make your system more secure.

You're right that it is a hodgepodge of tricks and never quite perfect or capable of blocking all attacks. In an ideal world someone would design and give us a system that provides perfect security right out of the box, in a small & elegant & easy to understand manner.

I'm not smart enough to do that so I'll only dream of the unicorns. :-)

Serif fonts aren't more credible than San serif fonts. Serif fonts are great for lots of paragraph based text, san serif fonts are better for titles and shorter passages...and also code.

Fun fonts can be serif or sans, and are generally more artistic and ad oriented.

>While the exclusionary rule does allow guilty people to go free, that negative is arguably overwhelmingly outweighed by keeping innocent people out of prison, providing equal protection to all, and maintaining public faith in the criminal justice system.

Fortunately, the populace does not decide justice. Judges and lawyers are not elect, for this very reason.

But we shouldn't go too deep with the hypothetical questions. In most (western, civilized) parts of the world evidence is evidence. And they have lesser problems with police brutality, pretty much any way you look at the data (from bullets fired to people's conceptions).
Actually I have done most of those things at one time or another.

I'm not saying IPv4 is simple (especially if you want to do complex things with it) but it works well when configured correctly and is simple enough to be deployed in businesses of all sizes as well as home networks.

I didn't get involved with networking much until shortly after most other protocols were rapidly disappearing but the fact that IPv4 replaced IPX, DECNET, AppleTalk, etc in only a few years time suggests that it probably wasn't that much of a nightmare to set up, even in it's early days.

My concern with IPv6, based on this post, is that it may have lost some of the robustness and relative simplicity of IPv4. I mean layer 3 <-> layer 2 address mapping is fundamental to any network and if that's breaking with IPv6 it could be a pretty serious issue.
