Hi ryanSrich,

Certainly :)

We manufacture in Romania. The fabrics are supplied to us by MITI from Urganano, Italy. The Pad (chamois) is trucked in from our Italian chamois supplier.

Trucking is fast, cheap and with EU carbon regulations - also environmentally friendly. All our suppliers are not more than 4 hours from the central factory - keeping our supply chain tight and efficient.

The central Romanian factory is owned by our Italian manufacturing partner who stitches the fabrics together according to our design files.

The final Bibs are quality inspected in Romania and are trucked to Italy for a final quality inspection before sent to us in Singapore for distribution.

We currently sell online and locally through a network of dealers. While we work to get these sold globally at your local bike shop, the online store will be the way for you to get hold of these.

Every order is packed by one of us (2 founders) and sent to you from Singapore :).
If so many people are so regularly bitten by these BTRFS issues – they're easy-to-reproduce and painful – shouldn't they be relatively easy to prioritize and fix?
Or massively funded a group of hackers in the USA.
> I as a moviegoer would be extremely scared to go to watch this movie in it's opening week.

Sadly, that's exactly the fear the hackers want you to have. You have much higher odds being hurt or killed in a car accident on the drive to the theater than from some potential terrorist act.
I wonder if in refusing to show the movie, are the theaters really concerned about the physical threat, or the cyber threat? The physical threat is certainly the headline, and provides an easy out for theaters who might actually be more concerned about their networks.

The cyber threat is certainly the more credible of the two. Hackers who owned Sony so completely could now turn their focus to AMC, Regal, Cinemark, and Carmike. Aside from looting data stores, they could potentially shutdown ticketing systems, hack customer databases, steal credit cards...

We know a well-funded persistent targeted attack is guaranteed to succeed against these kinds of targets. I'm not really sure what's even holding back the tides of cyber-warfare beyond perhaps governments' inefficiency at organizing the necessary task forces. Fear of enforcement or retaliation certainly isn't the gating factor on the teams who are perpetrating these hacks.

The whole thing seems beyond absurd from one angle, and at the same time portends an escalating cyberwar which will not be nearly as fun to watch as The Interview.
That is far too broad a definition - and still not completely correct. Terrorism falls within the spectrum of warfare, it isn't as simple as "Well I feel terrorized, so my tormentor must be a terrorist!" Also, the emotional state of terror - the word has been severely corrupted. The British were unquestionably terrorized by the German dive bombers, fitted with signature sirens, in WWII. That was clearly a terror campaign, because intent was expressed and capability demonstrated. This whole movie thing, not so much.

There's Errors and Omissions insurance for things like copyright/trademark violations. But getting it requires a pretty thorough inspection of the film, and it's hard to imagine the E&O people overlooked the whole risk of North Korea. I don't know if they pay out in the case of being unable to release the film, it's mostly protection against lawsuits. It'd be interesting to know exactly how that plays out though.
Yea but that original statement is also not backed by data (yet).

Hi David,

That is a personal choice :). Castelli do make great products - undoubtedly.

However, we are a different company. Our niche is - Long Distance BibShorts.

When you come to us, we want you to have absolute confidence that what we give to you is a BibShort that is designed specifically for your long ride. No compromise has been made in achieving this end in the design process.

For example, we don't print on our lycra because its a nylon based fabric that's softer and more luxurious than a printable polyester based version. Comfort reigns king over graphics and that's a choice we made happily to achieve the end goal - long distance comfort.

The chamois isn't one that's used by many other brands. We searched for a non mainstream manufacturer. The chamois is manufactured using a Thermic Moulding process - no one else makes a chamois this way and what you get is a plush, breathable chamois that lasts and doesn't flatten out after long hours.
Individual theaters backed out before Sony had a choice in matter. If theaters refuse to play the film, it's moot what Sony does. Of course they could accept s limited release, but that would kill their profits. They are a business so it wouldn't make much sense to do a limited release if it's not profitable. They could still go for a digital release or something else but they probably won't.

People should really be upset at the theater owners who officially opted out. Chances are Sony may have pushed the release anyways but since they were forced by the theaters they are the ones who deserve to be balked at.

Also, Sony isn't America. It's a Japanese company, with a large presence and investment in America, but there's no reason to assume that give them any nationalistic motives or compass.

HTTP compression is simply not safe on your main web domain: http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/20406/is-http-co...

What I was trying to say is that, if you're security conscious, and running a CDN anyway, it might not be worth the risk to allow (selective) HTTP compression on your main web domain. It would be safer to disable it completely.
Hi ThatOneDan,

Good question and we get asked that ALL the time!

Okay, simply put, many brands have offering at multiple price points. Obviously to cater to different budgets, tastes, aspirations, wants etc (its a rather long list).

We are different. We chose to focus on a BibShort specifically for long distance cycling. This is our niche and what the RedWhite brand stands for.
> A food, anyway, provided you aren't spending your $8 a day on rent.

When you have the choice between a job that pays $10 and a job that pays $7.25, you generally pick the one that pays $10. When the choice is between $7.25 and $4 or $4 and $1 the choice is similarly obvious. But so is the choice between making $8/day and buying eight pounds of pasta/rice/beans/etc. or being unemployed and hungry.

> How would social services work in this system without minimum wage? Would people making below a minimum wage deemed necessary to house and feed and care for oneself be eligible for benefits?

That's how it works already. People making minimum wage qualify for government benefits that phase out at higher income levels.
I thought about mentioning the root kit as well, since a lot of people get schadenfreude-y over it. I greatly disliked the root kit and that whole approach to treating your customers like criminals (d/b/a DRM), but I don't see this attack as giving Sony their just desserts.

The root kit was attached to Sony BMG's products (CDs), and this current attack was against Sony Pictures. Sony is a giant conglomerate with 140,000 employees and who knows how many child companies. To top it off, Sony BMG was a 50/50 joint venture with Bertlesmann. The root kits first appeared on BMG CDs, suggesting that it originated at Bertlesmann and not Sony (although I don't know that and it doesn't excuse Sony anyway).

While it's hard to measure the impact that the root kit had on Sony BMG's customers, it's safe to assume that most of them did not have their personal data disseminated all over the Internet and in newspapers. Whereas that's the reality Sony Pictures and their employees are currently dealing with.

It also happened eight years ago. While not everyone may forget or forgive, I think it's more productive to respond to the way Sony treats me as a customer today versus a decade ago. That's how you encourage better behavior from a company, by rewarding them for doing a better job.
I have a small nit about #2 that doesn't affect your main argument. Similar to the 'overflow' flag the processor automatically sets to signal signed overflow, the processor flag for 'carry' is already being set by the processor when you add or subtract unsigned numbers that overflow. There is no separate signed or unsigned addition in x86/x64 assembly --- the processor just sets the flags for both cases, and they can either be used or ignored.

This is the reason that overflow checking can be so inexpensive --- no additional checking is necessary, just a conditional branch on an existing flag. Correctly predicted branches not taken are very inexpensive, and this branch will almost always be correctly predicted. The issue is that standard C doesn't allow any direct defined way to make use of the overflow flag. Instead you have to write something awkward and hope the compiler optimizes it down for you.
Yeah, jokes about terrorism can obviously attract controversy, but that monologue was fairly mild as those go. I wouldn't consider it anywhere near as provocative as The Interview.
Hi Colbyh,

I couldn't reply on Product Hunt sadly because apparently I need to be recommended by the community.

Your choice in BibShorts is a highly personal one. Perhaps other brands resonate more with your wants and aspirations and tastes.

We are focused on what we do - A BibShort for long distance cycling. Our website has only 1 product that's built from the ground up to enable you to ride that century or that AUDAX in comfort.
It's a terrorist act to threaten movie theaters with 9/11 style attacks for showing a movie and this is exactly what the hackers are doing.
Thanks for the great read. As someone who's been eyeing ATS for a while and checking it out more lately, this was very inspirational.
"JQuery is bad because some people who use it do unrelated things wrong"? Should I stop driving because some other people who use cars happen to cheat on their taxes?
hi shiftpgdn,

We've made some tweaks and it should load better now :)

I'd like to reiterate that we aren't competing with any of the big boys. Each brand is unique with a different philosophy and brand voice.

We are focused on making a BibShort for long distance cycling. We want you to come to us, knowing that you will walk away with a product that will help you ride those long base miles in comfort.

Every element in the RedWhite BibShorts has been curated and through through to achieve this end goal.
hi pmontra,

We've made some improvements. Do take a look : www.redwhite.cc
I want to watch this movie more now so I hope I can at least find the version that these hackers have released. I'd rather pay and sit in th theater but one way or another.
Pushing for harder copyright laws and being with the MPAA is bad enough.

Ah yes, integer overflow checking. Here's iDrive, the commercial backup service, failing at it:

http://s24.postimg.org/xakc6eglx/idrivefail2.png

iDrive backed up a 3GB file. This overflowed a 32-bit value, and so iDrive shows the size as -149406.91 KB. This seems to have confused something in the iDrive system, and now backups won't run. Their tech support people have been working on this for two days now.

C officially considers unsigned integer overflow to be modular arithmetic. I consider that a mistake. If you want modular arithmetic, you should write

x += n % (2^32)

which can be easily optimized to eliminate the divide. Otherwise, it should be an error.
The algorithm described as Torben's appears much earlier in Numerical Recipes for Fortran as a multi pass median that was designed to calculate medians from tapes where the memory was smaller than the storage device. Numerical Recipes cites Knuth's TAoCP I believe. The NR implementation is called mdian2 (for easy searching)

Sony Pictures Entertainment, who produced and marketed this movie, is based in the US (Hollywood) and run by Americans. In all likelihood this decision comes from them.
Not to mention Swift.

FTL has already precipitated other interesting changes in LLVM (to support deoptimisation and GC).
all crap. I just care about programming books.
I'm not sure to be honest. I know about 15-20 languages and have written at least a 500-1000 lines in each of them (most more), specialize in Python, trying to specialize in Haskell.

Did Django web development for quite a while. Now I'm working for a large company using Coldfusion (bleh), PHP, and some Python.

I frequently feel that I'm not good enough and that my knowledge is in the wrong areas though. I've learned a lot about accumulating domain knowledge and working with legacy codebases lately.

A huge blind spot I had was only passing familiarity with mysql, being used to only using ORM's. I've mostly remedied that however and it's something I feel most webdevs should know more about.

So... I can't really answer either of your questions and I'm not sure it would be economical for either of us to try and test it. However I'm open to ideas!
I tried to roughly estimate the risk.

There are 18,000 theaters that could be targets. Let's say there are 10 showings over the opening weekend that might be bombed, so if you attend, there's a 1 in 180,000 chance you'll be in the bombed theater (assuming there's only one bombing). Let's say there's a 5% chance it's a real threat (personally I'd estimate around 1%, but let's use 5% to be conservative). That gives a 1 in 3.6 million chance of being in the bombed theater.

Compare to car accidents. There are 1.27 fatalities per 100 million miles traveled in the USA. If the movie theater is five miles away, that gives you a 1 in 7.9 million chance of dying in a car accident on the way to or from the movie.

If we stop calculating there, it looks like you'd be roughly twice as likely to be in the bombed theater than to die in a car accident on the way to the theater. (Note that this is the chance of being in the bombed theater, not of dying in the bombing. Presumably, most people in the theater would survive.) To me, that seems like an acceptably negligible risk.

More detailed calculations could include the chance of dying conditional on being in the bombed theater, and could include the chance of more than one theater being bombed, and adjust for the chance of the bomber being foiled or the bomb not working, and could adjust for which theater you're seeing it in (theaters in major cities are more likely targets than small towns).
Some people believe it is... this guy actually has a regular column at Forbes.

Asides from pcwalton's argument, I think any successful (or to-be-successful) language is trying to solve some problems very well and other problems reasonably well. For Rust, the former includes the memory safety and the latter includes the integer overflow detection (but you can always name a lot more). It would be very hard to solve all problems at once (especially when known solutions to some problems worsen other problems, as seen in Rust). That can be said to Swift as well, it just picked different problems to solve very well.
Shootings always increase with the price too, as robbery becomes appealing to smaller gangs who will risk attacking established gangs for a huge reward. Here it was $70k per kilo during the summer and gunmen were everywhere shooting up restaurants and parking lots.
What do you expect to happen, then, in cases where you have a "can't fail" transparent deserialization operation from a wire format that doesn't limit the precision of its integers? Say, a web request that receives and decodes a JSON object. Now, JSON itself has no integer type, just a double type—but when people are manually generating JSON, they tend to forget this and shove arbitrary-precision integers in as naked \d+ tokens; and when people are receiving JSON, they also tend to expect to receive integers, not doubles. So what would you expect this JSON-decoding library to do, in a sensible language:

• crash the request thread?

• output a floating-point value with some of the precision thrown away?

• output a machine integer with the overflow flag set?

• output an arbitrary-precision integer?

Basically, arbitrary-precision integers are a necessary part of any platform that needs to be able to hold onto, and do math to, externally-generated numbers that didn't arrive packed in #1A type structs.

To insist, in the modern day, on attempting to do arbitrary math with arbitrary numbers using strictly machine words, is like insisting on defining a Postgres column as a VARCHAR, when TEXT is just as optimal for the average case, while automatically coping with edge-cases.

Most numbers computers touch don't have bit patterns that fit in 8(2^n) bits, but not 8(2^n) - 1 bits. Tag bits are cheap, especially if you have the other two integer types to fall back on.

Its been a rather long discussion and I can't thank everyone enough for joining this conversation with us. I'm Yuva, one of the co-founders of RedWhite Apparel.

Nobody cares about privacy anymore. The mainstream media spreads around private conversations and emails..and people are getting fired over it. I can bet if I got the private emails from some key CNN reporters and spread it around on social media, their tune would change. I would actually like to see this.

I laugh when people in the mainstream media talk about how bad it is that the government is spying on us. Why does it even matter anymore? 1984 is here. It has nothing to do with the government and everything to do with social media.

It's so easy to spread lies around as fact on social media...and people believe it. Just look at all of the false information spread around during the Ferguson protests..which people still believe to this day.

Even Obama admit to swaying public opinion using social media and data mining.
You can find token examples of Americans who think that Harry Potter tricks children into being Satanists. You can find Americans who think that Schindlers List is jewish propaganda. You can find Americans who believe that Brokeback Mountain should be banned under obscenity laws.

These are fringe beliefs. As a general rule, movie studios do not shitcan movies just because a couple of dumbasses think that the movie goes too far.

Seriously, if Harry Potter was released despite the controversy it caused, there is no way in hell that "controversy" around The Interview is the reason behind this decision. You'd have to be incredibly out of touch with American society to think otherwise.
