This is a complex topic with many nuances, all of which need public input. Glynn Moody at Computerworld UK has been providing detailed coverage on TTIP issues at http://www.computerworlduk.com/blogs/open-enterprise/ttip-up..., which has similar provisions to TPP.

The US has a legislative process that reduces the chance of bundling of non-contested and practical trade agreements with debatable propositions. Fast Track would bypass debate on topics that need both public and legislator input. In the US, Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon needs to be lobbied by constituents, to block Fast Track, http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/02/19/ron-wyden-fast-trac...

"Seventy-three percent of respondents indicated that they oppose "Congress giving the president fast-track authority for the NAFTA-style trade agreements like the TPP." If fast-track authority is in place, lawmakers can vote only "yes" or "no" on final trade packages."

A Japanese lawyer comments on TPP implications for fanzines, which showcase new manga artists and are tolerated by publishers, even though they are technically infringing on copyrights, http://japanitlaw.blogspot.com/2013/01/tpps-effect-on-fanzin...

" in practice, it is rare for the police to commence an investigation without a complaint by the rights holder.

However, this situation may change. The draft of the request of the US on Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) 15.5(g) stipulates, "its authorities may initiate legal action ex officio with respect to the offenses described in this Chapter, without the need for a formal complaint by a private party or rights holder."

Could someone be charged with copyright violation even if the OWNER of the copyright does not want to press charges? That would defeat the purpose of copyright (promote creative works) and property rights (respect decisions by copyright owners). It also risks selective abuse by law enforcement, who would no longer need anyone to press charges, before seizing computers, etc.
Coinbase's bitcoins are insured. And Coinbase's dollars are FDIC-insured.

There is nothing inherent to Bitcoin that prevents an exchange from being operated responsibly and covered/insured just as well as traditional financial institutions.

> Block size can't be increased because bitcoin is decentralized.

It is not trivial, but it can be increased. What you don't understand is that all the merchants all the institutions all the individuals utilizing Bitcoins rely on its proper operation to benefit from it. If they more or less all agree that raising the block size is the obvious way to scale up, then they will agree to raise it.

> Bitcoin can not support more than a couple million users.

False. If the block size is increased, it can scale: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Scalability

Hoping this covers my issues with an early 2013 retina - the system crashes whenever I let it use the discrete graphics, and it's got to the point that I can't let it sleep or power down or it's touch and go whether it comes back. I currently use a combination of NoSleep, gfxCardStatus and blind hope to keep it going.
I'm running PG Commander and it's great. Extra praise must be given to Jakob for the excellent support he provides. I will definitely upgrade to Portico.

I'm quoting the following from https://www.sciencenews.org/article/when-intuition-and-math-...

"""Suppose that you already knew that Mr. Smith had two children, and then you meet him on the street with a boy he introduces as his son. In that case, the probability the other child is a son would be 1/2, just as intuition suggests. On the other hand, suppose that you are looking for a male beagle puppy. You want a puppy that has been raised with a sibling for good socialization but you are afraid it will be hard to select just a single puppy from a large litter. So you find a breeder who has exactly two pups and call to confirm that at least one is male. Then the probability that the other is male is 1/3.

In the scenario of Mr. Smith, you’re randomly selecting a child from his two children and then noticing his sex. In the puppy scenario, you’re randomly selecting a two-puppy family with at least one male."""
Yeah, account management in Line is crazy.

Log in on a different phone and EVERYTHING on the other phone gets deleted. For most people I know in Japan, loosing your phone means getting a new Line account.

People at softbank/docomo/AU should be able to help you migrate, though they might only help you migrate if your new phone is on contract with them.
Pitching from a hole in the ice: Next week is Polar Bear Pitch
I had this model, and the graphic issues started to appear during the last summer. After having acknowledged the situation [1] (Apple doesn’t officially admit there is a problem, and chances are that I will have to pay for a new logic board since I am out of warranty), I went to an Apple Store in the UK for a diagnostic.

I was about to pay for the new logic board, and the person confirmed to me that in case of a recall happening in the future, I would be refunded by Apple. Nice surprise when he asked me where I bought it: since I ordered it on the Apple website, even if it was on the french Apple Store website, they proposed me to replace it using the UK warranty, which is 6 years (!) instead of 1 year in France [2] (I didn’t take the Apple Care).

A few hours after having my computer back, the exact same graphic issues started again. I went back to the Apple Store, and they changed it again. Everything was working fine…

Until two months later, when the sound chip just died: no errors in OS X, but no sound at all (from speakers, microphone or jack plug). I went back to the Apple Store, and they changed the logic board again (it wasn’t a problem because all replacements are covered by warranty).

A few days later, the graphic issues started again. I went back to the Apple Store. Since they changed the logic board three times already, they proposed me to replace the MBP by a brand new one: the latest and high-end model (since they have to replace it with an equivalent), and I even received an external drive since the new models don’t have one, and despite having said that I don’t need it.

I think I have been really lucky: I just wanted to repair it so I could sell it and buy a new model. I ended up with the latest model without paying anything except a few hours spent at the Apple Store.

Lessons learned:

- Buy your Apple computer from Apple if you can.

- You have a 6 years warranty in the UK.

Edit: the legal warranty is 2 years in France, not 1 year.
I meant financially ready. Tesla's growth rate is limited by their available capital; Apple will not face this particular limitation.

Unless you're planning on holding the currency, those graphs are irrelevant - what would matter would be short term changes (1-2 days, perhaps). And while USD might still come out better, your graph grossly distorts how this would affect someone wanting to use USD or BTC primarily purchases while holding their assets in CAD.
May I ask why the downvote? My speculation may or may not be correct, but despite @brandonmenc's objection, I still think it's a possible factor. It certainly matches the attitudes of my relatives and other adults when I was a child growing up in the 80's. It's also more closely tied to the start of the trend line than some of the other theories in this thread, and was posted as a good faith response to @cguess.

Here's how to decrypt ssl sessions in Wireshark

https://jimshaver.net/2015/02/11/decrypting-tls-browser-traf...

Before that I used Burpsuite, but that uses its own self signed cert too.

http://portswigger.net/burp/

Privoxy doesn't do SSL or did I miss something?
Yeah, well. "protected" by a PIN. You're implying that if someone gets hold of the phone/mirrors the storage, they can't get at the clef secret key because of the "pin". That's probably not true.

I think (pragmatically) phone's can be "something you have" -- but except for a pin/passphrase that actually unlocks the full-device encryption on the phone -- nothing you do with the phone to access a secret key can be considered a second-factor "something you know".

Last I heard iphones have a decent storage for secrets, in the sense that you can't get at them except by using the phone to bruteforce the pin (and get into the trusted storage/unlock the key). It's been a while -- maybe iphone 5/6 are better though. But I doubt it. Android devices in general have no such luxury -- on the other hand one can/should use a complex pass-phrase when enabling FDE, similar to other "soft" FDE-solutins, like cryptsetup for Linux. There's host of possible attack vectors, like subverting the BIOS/bootloader, getting at the juicy bits if the phone is booted up/the device decrypted, probably possible to do cold boot attacks etc...

At any rate, claiming that anything stored in an app is "secure" beyond the basic security of the phone -- is probably just wrong. That doesn't mean a pin is useless, it's just not really "two-factor".
I just don't understand why vendors limit max memory nowdays. I mean, I have 8GB in 8 years old T61.
Nothing new. At this point nobody should consider any closed source encryption like something even nearly trustworthy.
> Coding is just a really specialized type of writing

.. for the attention of a single audience, the compiler. The compiler demands accuracy and completeness yet also provides patient, useful and virtually infinite feedback to guide the writer. That's not typical of human audiences!

Creating prose for human audiences is challenging and yet is an essential skill in the corporate world.

A two-minute elevator pitch to a C-level officer is going to be a lot different than notes on a bug report. But I've worked with many people who can't make that context-switch and just overwhelm their audience with irrelevant details.

That's one of the interesting aspects of an education in history: analyse inputs, synthesise, evaluate and only output what is relevant to the argument.

For some mysterious reason, Americans always talk about TPP and never about TAFTA. But both are parts of the global US strategy, and both are secret agreements chock full with odious provision against the people. It's US imperialism at its worst, and both treaties are Trojan horses direct from the big lobbyists to get at last out of reach of the rule of law. If both these treaties come into existence, democracy will be dead for good.
I can't speak for the US, but I'm just not buying the fear about the TPP. I honestly can't see the Australian judiciary sending people to jail, or issuing large fines, for sharing media.

Suppose the sentencing is mandatory leaving the judiciary with no choice. We'll see how long that lasts, but very well then, I'll happily spend 3 months in an Australian prison for sharing media. I think you'd probably have to book in advance. How comical.

How can law enforcement possibly police this? The idea is so ridiculous, like some kind of 'War on Piracy'.

> penalties that include sentences of imprisonment as well as monetary fines sufficiently high to provide a deterrent to future acts of infringement

C'mon, seriously? Is there anyone who doesn't know risk of imprisonment doesn't act as deterrent. There are Australian's about to be executed in Indonesia for drug trafficking. Should be pretty obvious.

I'm sorry, but with all the hyped up FUD, I just can't seem to get uptight about the TPP.

Certainly life will go on, and people will continue to share media.
We need people to call and write their representatives. Europe has moved towards greater transparency and received 150,000 public comments, http://www.computerworlduk.com/blogs/open-enterprise/ttip-up...

"The Commissioner outlined two main proposals for boosting transparency. First, to extend access to TTIP texts to all Members of the European Parliament, beyond the currently limited group of Members of the European Parliament’s International Trade Committee. Second, to publish texts setting out the EU's specific negotiating proposals on TTIP."

http://www.computerworlduk.com/blogs/open-enterprise/ttip-up...

".. the unexpected decision to hold a consultation on the area last year. The hope seems to have been that this would keep critics quiet, and allow the European Commission to come up with a few minor tweaks to its proposals while claiming that the public had been allowed to air their views.

It didn't quite work out like that. An unprecedented 150,000 replies were received - and this was on a hitherto obscure aspect of a traditionally boring trade agreement. That number alone bespeaks a new relationship between the public and the politicians who are supposed to serve them. "

You increase the number of non-payers by not only having the fraudulent ones but also the lazy ones who delay payment, the forgetful ones who keep forgetting to pay and the ones that don't get your bills. Then you add on the cost of trying to collect from all those people. Cheaper to just charge up front and accept that some tiny percentage will be fraudulent.
Nim should look very attractive to Python developers. It's a good looking language that has positioned itself in a good market: static typing, looks and feels like scripting (not verbose), and almost systems level (has GC).

I haven't got any experience with Go development, but from those I know that use it, I hear nothing but promising things about Nim. "Modern" is a word that gets used.

Between Rust and Nim, we're starting to see some really clever new languages that fix common pain points. Both of these are so neat it makes me feel as though we're in a programming language boom right now.
There's an important rule that isn't always communicated correctly: the participant must know ahead of time that the host is always going to open a door.
Whole-heartedly disagree. Of all web languages, PHP is the one that needs a framework the least.

For one thing, PHP abstracts a lot to begin with. For another, there are so many libraries available, that it's much easier to just tie libraries together.

Here's a good dev process:

- Create index.php, which includes Composer's autoload.php
- Get a routing library
- Add each URI and its accompanying action, and introduce new libraries as you need to

That way, your code is very explicit. No magic, no functionality controlled by config files (or, worse, comments!) You can see what each object does by reading the source.

Main issue is there really no specifications available on many things. Also it's will be nearly impossible to pass certification so no real manufacturer would use it.

If you want more details you may check OsmocomBB site and IRC.

> Germany and France should have an interest that their communication can't be trivially backdoored by the NSA.

Nobody saying that governments don't have trusted hardware with only their own backdoors. In almost every country manufacturer have to provide source code and specs in order to pass certification so gov does have everything needed.

Though it's not help anybody else as it's will never be open.
Exactly. HTTPS is for the public-facing Nginx proxy. No reason to require a cert to encrypt traffic on the internal bridge to the app.

Laptops can't really stay mobile for 2 days. At some point, it needs to power up, and your indexer can do the deed then. Too bad Windows doesn't have something like PowerNap that allows the system to run services while the clamshell is closed.

How often do users search in Outlook? I'd say maybe 5-10 times a day, and if it's already indexed, I won't notice.
Unencrypted HTTP/2 is for host-internal communication, ie. between app servers and public endpoints. Firefox and Chrome are both only going to support HTTPS for HTTP/2.
I've been using a Dell XPS 15z for the last three years, comping from an MBP and it has been a relief so far on a lot of points: reliability, drivers, support. I probably had a non-exemplary extremely bad experience with Apple and AppleCare but it was enough to say 'thanks but never again' (mobo replaced twice, swollen battery, OSX actually gave gray screens more then windows gave blue screens on that machine, completely dead in the end - of course right after the extended AppleCare expired, people working in the local Apple store seemed to have been trained to behave like assholes). Again anecdotal but had none of such problems with Dell. So far.
Don't know why you are downvoted. Before I switched to Mac (now I know what a good choice I made!), I find that installing fresh Windows without piracy is incredibly hard. The so called OEM embedded serial key works only sometime; Other times, the fresh Windows will ask me to buy and activate it. Utterly confusing even for a techie like me.

So I installed a pirated Windows.
So how much do they pay you to post that "press release"-style post that doesn't actually explain how the TPP would help? You've posted a lot of fear-mongering, but haven't actually shown what would be changed by the treaty.

As we already have very little in the way of tarriffs or other barriers to international trade, there isn't a lot that could be done to "improve trade" between US and asia. So why the treaty? The TPP is nothing more than an attempt to legalize the movement of capital.

I suggest reading this fun comic that explains the economic history and theories, and what is actually being done to try and consolidate even more wealth.

http://economixcomix.com/home/tpp/

In the long run, once both goods and capital can be moved freely outside the reach of government regulation - and taxation - we find the true purpose of the TPP in these two terrifying words: Corporate Sovereignty.

John Oliver just a good example of the narcissism and greed that we can expect to get a lot worse if the TPP were to pass:

> I currently own an XPS13 old version

Which one?

I currently have two laptops: one is a recent (less than 3 years old) Dell Latitude 6430u, and the other one is an old Dell XPS 13 (the M1330, from 7 years ago). Of course the recent one is faster and lighter, but I have to say that the XPS still is a very good laptop, as 7 years later it is still able to compete with new ones.

So I don't need a new laptop right now but this new XPS 13 looks very interesting indeed, thanks for the information about the GNU/Linux version :).
Unfortunately, I have a Mid 2010 MBP that is not covered under this warranty extension.

It crashes/restarts all the time with a GPU panic that is caused by the nVidia card, and triggered by the OS. It never crashed with Snow Leopard (the stock OS for my model), but ever since I upgraded, it crashes consistently (Mountain Lion & Mavericks).

I use gfxCardStatus to force the computer to use the intel graphics card. This allows me to work without random restarts.
Helpfully, if you have raised the prices by even as little as 20%, you can easily use that extra margin to pay for an invoice factoring company who will pay you the invoice upfront - for a fee, but a fee that's usually much less than 20%.

Examples in the UK: https://marketinvoice.com/ http://www.platformblack.com/ or even http://granttree.co.uk itself (though we don't advertise this at the moment - our power-up fund does extend to invoice factoring for startups with no trading history).

Would you be willing to violate the privacy of one person to prevent an attack that would kill five thousand?

Why don't we skip the suggestive "thought experiments" and look at some facts instead.

A grand total of 3467 people in the USA have been killed by terror attacks since 1970[1].

In the same timeframe 2091 americans were killed by lightning strike[2] and roughly 102.000.000 died of old age.

Please explain how these numbers justify the NSA's yearly budget of $75 billion dollars, and their documented, ongoing violation of millions of people's privacy.
