There is a proposed US-EU equivalent of the Australia - Hong Kong arbitration panel for ISDS (Investor-State Dispute Settlement), http://www.computerworlduk.com/blogs/open-enterprise/ttip-up...

"So what the European Commission is proposing with the dispute resolution chapter is how future clashes with the US over those key social constructs should be resolved. And the answer is: by a three-person arbitration panel.

That is, key aspects of everyday life - the social, environmental and safety protections that have been laid down over decades or more - can be thrown out purely on the say of those three people if it is decided that they clash with TTIP. And remember: "The ruling of the arbitration panel shall be unconditionally accepted by the Parties."

So if, for whatever reason, the arbitration panel says a well-established regulation protecting health and safety, or the environment, has to go, well, it has to go, even if the vast majority of the public that it will effect disagrees."
Not a single line of comment, nor any explanation on why this panics.
It's a combo of all those things: inflation, improving the cash flow cycle, and even internal rate of return (i.e. for those 60 days the money is hopefully being used in a capital efficient manner).
A business wanting to make more money by charging for their good/bad/ok product? how evil.

I don't agree that copyright infringement should be a criminal rather than civil matter.

Same here. It's a shame since otherwise this ~5y old computer still is holding up well.
But as pointed out in other comments, it looks like SuperFish does install the extra cert in Firefox's database too, but only after a restart.

It's a bit of a pain with the T440s (have to pry apart all the plastic), but still better than paying what Lenovo wants.
I downvoted you because you simply can't draw that conclusion just based on the evidence of one anecdotal account from an affected user and from your own ignorance of the problem. Of course this has damaged their reputation in the minds of some affected users.
> "using ssh as a transport mechanism for a web service is one of the worst practices you can use. SSL vulnerabilities are being spotted more frequently than ever now"

Just wanted to note that SSH doesn't really have anything to do with SSL (e.g., it doesn't operate over an SSL transport). Might just be a typo though. Still seems really sketchy that they're using a reverse bind to (presumably) punch through NAT rather than something sane like just using UPnP or simply requiring correct network configuration.
I don't think you can really avoid it when trying to pack everything as densely as possible. A few years down the road, I believe, an SoC will probably contain not only the CPU, graphics, audio, etc., but also RAM. Probably stacked onto the CPU connected with through-silicon vias. All you'll see in an ifixit teardown is a single chip made entirely from nanoscale silicon structures. There'll be nothing a user can even see. The upside, however, is that such a level of integration gives you a power advantage, a price advantage and a size advantage.

Just recently, when Broadwell was released, Intel boasted how small their chips have become. This is necessary to make the as-thin-as-possible design of Ultrabooks and it's a trend that's not going to go away because having an Ultrabook in your bag is so much better than any other kind of laptop.

I don't really know how it would be possible to make an Ultrabook at that size still modular like a tower PC.
Good point ;)

Technically (and to wriggle out from that point) you could say I decided for him (vim) :P

One option that works 100%, is just to let it run Windows, and run Linux in VMWare or VirtualBox. I've done it before, and I'm doing it right now - never had any issues with it.
An antenna doesn't pose a security hole. Bullshit about antennas in other phones is Apple's traditional humbleness deficit, bullshit about compromised SSL connections is a criminal lie.
I can recommend having a look at GOOPS [1] (GNU Guile's implementation of CLOS) for inspiration. It provides multiple dispatch and facilitates overloading of existing functions (such as "+").

Was quora hacked yesterday?
Seems like it's not a typo, rather he intended to indicate that he uses ssh due to SSL vulnerabilities precluding use of SSL.
If you have this problem, you definitely know about it. Complete system lockups, glitches all over the screen, you name it. It's not just a simple software error.
Same. It makes an otherwise totally fine computer worthless. There was a recall for this problem too (http://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT203554), but it already ended.
"They did this by utilizing the NSA’s X-KEYSCORE program, which allowed them access to private emails hosted by the SIM card and mobile companies’ servers, as well as those of major tech corporations, including Yahoo and Google."

This is not supported by any of the leaked documents. GCHQ certainly had full access to Gemalto's email servers, and several documents refer to information retrieved from there. There is nothing to show that data was ingested into XKEYSCORE and absolutely nothing to show that the employees' personal emails were in XKEYSCORE.
I do not get paid to post to Hacker News. That would be a fun job... but alas I am not that lucky.

Why do you think my post was fearmongering, specifically?

As per the implication that corporations stand a lot to gain from the TPP - you'll see in my post I've said precisely the same thing. I would agree that there is a trend in the direction of corporate sovereignty - another large trend in this direction is what Bruce Schneier calls "Public-Private Partnership" where he suggests (rightly so IMHO) that as each is subject to different laws partnerships allow them to be bound by neither (he's gone so far as to call this partnership a "Modern Leviathan": http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/aug/06/corpora...).

You can be sure that the TPP is in the interest of the US's strategic financial and diplomatic future. That's not a lie - nor is it fearmongering.

Regarding what can be improved regarding trade - most of it has to do with fixing international standards and laws - though there are other details being ironed out (is it Korea or Taiwan that is building a giant shipping port as part of the agreement?). That's actually why it's important for the US to have influence there. The US wants to have as much influence setting the standards and regulations regarding trade and goods as possible. An important secondary effect is that both the process of negotiation and resulting trade partners garners political clout for future joint (bi- and uni-lateral) ventures.
There's also Symbolic Aggregate ApproXimation (SAX) techniques which are very fast and support indexing algorithms.
They do, and it seems to date back to IBM days.

Seriously, it's fucking embarrassing.

To send me money, someone writes numbers on a piece of paper. That piece of paper is physically transported hundreds/thousands of miles to me. Then I have to write on the piece of paper. Then I take a picture of the piece of paper and upload it, where someone reads the numbers written on the piece of paper, and actually transfers the money. Is this really how the world works in 2015???

Nice, as of this morning, I couldn't get video out of my mid-2012 rMBP after about 20 GPU Panics I've reported over the last week. I imagine they must have thousands of them coming in as they start to fail.
I thought HT offers crippled performance compared to a real core because of sharing a lot of resources within the physical cores. Can a HT logical core really count as a physical core when hosting a VM on it ? I'd love to hear your experience, because I will be upgrading PC soon from an old AMD Phenom and am hesitant to count HT as a real benefit.
That has very little to do with this particular attack. The NSA did not attack the proprietary code, which uses standard, open, and publicly-known and documented cryptographic operations, by the way. They compromised the key custodians.

While I agree in principle about open source, using purely open-source software would not have provided any defence here.

Parent said more money. They already make money - for example, 2014 was NBCUniversal's most profitable year in its history, and box office revenue in general has been rising.
Capital and trade flows, foreign investment, port access, shipping rights and partnerships. It is also not a one-way street; they get to negotiate in areas they feel with benefit their countries the most as well.

Amazingly, Dell claims 15 hours 12 minutes of battery life, and on our Light test we hit exactly that.

That sounds really impressive. Congratulations!

I have mixed feelings when it comes to Dell. I use Dell U2713HM. Initially I got the first revision which had issues with a buzzing sound emitted when displaying a pattern on the screen. It completely died after a few weeks. I got a replacement (third revision) and haven't experienced any problems since.

I haven't owned a Dell laptop. How good are they when compared to other PC laptops and MacBooks?
How very odd... is it integrated graphics? I wonder if it's the display or the gpu/(v(ram)/cpu that makes consumes less resources.
There's another issue with ignoring cert pining with user-added root certificates: if you add a root certificate that's missing on your client machine (for instance CAcert or your national CA like ICP-Brasil), the CA you added can bypass pining, even though it shouldn't be able to.

On Mozilla, you can configure it to never bypass pining (security.cert_pinning.enforcement_level set to 2, see https://wiki.mozilla.org/SecurityEngineering/Public_Key_Pinn... ); I don't know how to do it on Chrome.

No, I couldn't do so two days ago, unfortunately. Sorry for any confusion.
Dealing with the windows tax crap is hardly news, buying new overpriced hardware to benefit from a golden prison is neither an acceptable solution for somewhat facing the issue nor what a techie would do.

The easy option is to phone microsoft support and explain the problem, you most probably will be given a new valid key. Other options for techies includes using OEM install medium or installing a free software OS.

Nowadays there's no licence key to type anymore, it's included in the hardware sold with windows 8 (which is worse).

I'm visiting Japan quite often and made some Japanese friends.
Line is quite popular, partly because you can exchange IDs instead of phonenumbers and the stickers. You can see that Japanese people value privacy if you log in to their PC client => all data on your phone is wiped, which is a bit unconvienent for me.

I think it's funny how every other app now copies the line stickers. Facebook does it too, but I'm not sure if it's really catching on here. Japan really likes cute stuff and since the language is a lot more polite and indirect it's probably easier to communicate with stickers.

Line is much better than WeChat tough, which has bad layout, low quality emoticons and doesn't feel native.

WeChat's feature for finding users closeby who opt-in
is great. Please check that out, if you are an app developer!

I like Viber more, because their client works everywhere, actual voice calling is included, the software is fast and nice and they have great support, no battery drain like skype.
They will likely throw a few major offenders in jail as exemplars. For the rest they will probably use various (im-proportionately) large fines to continue to discourage people from filesharing.

"How can law enforcement possibly police this?"

Given that breaching copyright would be classified as a criminal offence with the TPP, and meta-data access is only for criminal purposes, meta-data and an automated system can be used. So once the system is in place, very easily.

"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."

Risk of imprisonment may not deter some, but it may deter enough for them to feel its worth it.
> instead of 1 year [of warranty] in France

Didn't you mean 2 years? In the whole Europe you get at least 2 years of warranty

Cit. EU directive 1999/44/EC "A two-year guarantee applies for the sale of all consumer goods everywhere in the EU. In some countries, this may be more, and some manufacturers also choose to offer a longer warranty period."
I have the 2014 XPS developer edition and can get 10 hours with modest screen brightness. I get even more if I use a minimal WM like i3.

I find the two things that can really eat up the battery are screen brightness and having a poor Wi-Fi connection.
Fast track specifies what must and what must not be in a treaty. If a treaty meets those conditions, then it goes for a yes or no vote with no amendments -- that's it. It allows for negotiations by making very clear what is acceptable.

Stopping the fast tracking of this bill would be useful or even better, getting the contentious points be blocked during the fast track process so that any treaty negotiated would not have these items.
Great, my girlfriend just sold hers last week for 100€ after enduring a year of the video card crashing.

Same problem here [0], I was calling apple about that problem for at least 5 times and they always refused and blamed it on me using it wrong. I called them again last week because I wanted to give it another shot before my apple care protection plan expires and after sending them a bunch of pictures they escalated the case to a higher-level rep, called me back and agreed to replace it.

The only reason they did that was that I also had these marks on the border of the display, not just in the center and they said then it's an issue with the anti-glare coating and not just scratched from using it wrong (even though it's clearly the same kind of wear). There's also a huge thread in the apple support forum.[1] and it got featured on a big german IT news site. [2]

I'll get a new display next week.

That's not due to counting "in decimal", it's because of counting in unary: using the number of fingers to represent a number (possible to count from 0 to 10, inclusive), rather than having each finger represent a digit in a number (possible to count from 0 to 1,023 inclusive, in binary).

This was hilarious to write if you're into puns, since the collision between "digit" as in "part of hand" and "part of number" hit me in the face.

I don't think you could argue there were better MP3 players.

About watches, it depends on whether we are considering watches as jewelry (at which they don't suck at all) or as information delivery devices (at which they only deliver one type of information, which is typically readily available everywhere)

My Nokia 3110 was great at making phone calls and quite good at SMS'ing, so in that sense they didn't need to be upgraded. In the same vain we can say that we don't need watches that are better at keeping time. But cellphones of the late 90's sucked at a lot of things that are nice to have in your packet, such as games, news and reading.

So the question is, are there a lot of things other than time that are nice to have on your wrist? If yes, then the market fit Apple perfectly.
fwiw, ive never met a DSD human creature in my life. It'll be amazing if I ever will!

What does your company do if you have to access a TLS site which uses client certificates for authentication? AFAIK, client certificates don't work when there's a MITM on the TLS traffic, since the MITM proxy doesn't have a way to produce a client certificate that will be accepted by the server.
I suspect a lot of this comes from OS X apps all shipping with most of the library dependencies, so there's no way of deduplicating libraries that are loaded in the memory. In Linux, shared libraries are used, at least with software installed by package management. OS X should benefit from a kernel feature something like Linux KSM (kernel samepage merging[1]), that scans for duplicate memory pages and merges them to shallow copy-on-write clones.

We don't need TPP for law enforcement to enact Selective Enforcement. David Hicks' case should be evidence enough of that.

If your / my government wants to detain you fairly indefinitely for no reason whatsoever, it can already do that.

I tend to believe the only way through this mess, probably, is through it. Things like this are probably going to have to get a bit worse before they get better. The average person -that is to say, a person who doesn't read a lot of tech related news- doesn't really know, doesn't really care.

It's like some kind of bizarre paraphrasing of Douglas Adams: Having you committed three felonies today? Why not make it four with breakfast at the end of a pirated film.

I realise expressing my lack of concern over this probly isn't very popular in this forum. Like I'm supposed to be drastically and irrationally concerned about some law and a slippery slope argument.

I'm not though. I cross on the red light, occasionally smoke marijuana, habitually exceed the speed limit, and pirate media.

If Government thinks it can legislate, or intimidate, away minor infractions of victimless crimes, jokes on them.

I just can't take it seriously. I think the appropriate response isn't to be all "omg, draconian government, panic panic panic", no. The appropriate response is to laugh at the politicians and bureaucrats who come up with this nonsense.

If this this proposed legislation actually gets enacted then perhaps what we should all do is voluntarily turn ourselves in Flash Mob style. Probably while smoking reefers.

I am still quite confused. There are tons of headlines about Apple going into the car business and the articles are less and less clear about whether they are pure speculation or if they are official statements or have reliable sources.

I don't know I it's because I missed my morning coffee, but I can't tell if this article is speculation or not.
What I do not like about these deals which always have funny acronyms TPP, ACTA, SOPA is that they are done in secrecy. If the one who are drafting these agreements are acting in the publics best interest, why are the deals and drafts drawn up in secret? If you have nothing to hide and have good honest intentions why hide your drafts?

That makes me come to the conclusion that the deals they are drafting are not in the publics best interest and thus they want to hide their bad intentions!

Guess what, we live in the information age and the public will know anyway.

I very much doubt that any pc laptop married with any given Linux distro will ever be a better macbook experience than a macbook running OS X. I understand that a lot of people like working in a Mac -- but unless you point out what don't like on the Mac it's hard to see why you'd switch.

Personally I love bare xsession+monad+apt-get of Debian, along with a sprinkle of schroot for running testing and sid in parallel, all with my home-dir available and on accessing the same X11 display. So OS X isn't really interesting. Apart from drivers married closely to the hardware, and maybe a nice collection of fonts (and font rendering) -- I won't feel very much at home in OS X.

I am curios: why would you want to move off of OS X?
It seems to me that the burden of explanation should be on those that are pointing to this guy's military record as some sort of potential link to Israeli spy masters... but it isn't that complicated. If the majority of Israeli citizens are forced to render service to the military for a period of time, then using the flawed logic, all actions by Israeli citizens are attributable to the military. That is ridiculous. Some would agree to a point, but then shriek "IDF’s Intelligence Core". That is also ridiculous, as it is not some sort of elite group info sec pros - it is a very broad group of people flying desks.

If this guy had been in a part of the US military (all volunteer, which shows disposition) that frequently gets loaned out to the CIA or NSA (Force recon, Delta, Seals, etc) then the concern would be reasonable, but that isn't the case here.
Does this actually work? Can anyone confirm?
Hollywood brought that up to itself, you can't be paying actors for millions and then wonder why people want to get your stuff for free. Make affordable prices by reducing actors salaries and gfx artists salaries to 6 figures rather than having them sitting at a lot of millions.
For someone who has no experience and cannot count on some knowledgeable help, it's not trivial but they usually end up using the computer with the preloaded crapware without really noticing anything.

For most of us hacker news reader, it's nothing out of the ordinary. It can be a little bumpy once in a while (UEFI sometimes) and it's usually faster to simply take 30 minutes to uninstall the crapware.

Personnally I start by imaging the hard drive, then I wipe ip and install whatever is required at the time usually a gnu/linux flavor or a windows 7.
Title should maybe be amended to make it clearer that this is not a Raspberry Pi Foundation product.
Windows 7 already enjoys user space drivers.
