What's the alternative, though? They don't want other companies to know what they're working on, so they say "no" to something until they have it ready, and then they say "yes".
I think it was somewhere in middle school where I had several teachers who insisted that there had to be corrections made between a rough draft and a final draft of a paper, because thirteen-year-olds were obviously incapable of getting anything right the first time. I would write a paper, save it, introduce a few typos, submit that as the first draft, then submit the original a few days later when the final draft was called for.
I can't fathom why Google doesn't streamline that crap so that it doesn't depend on scripts from two or three separate domains and will properly fallback render to something decent without any scripts.
How to Create a Tech Startup Scene If You're Not in Silicon Valley
Hopefully it'll scale down gracefully when not doing graphics-intensive work. RDP is quite usable even with 100ms latency and only a few Mbps. OTOH I guess nothing's stopping you from renting a machine from Amazon now.

I'd just be worried if they use H.264 that there's not lossless compression on most UI elements. RDP falls back to lossy video-compression like behaviour under pressure, and it looks terrible and quite unusable. For Photoshop and graphics apps, sure. But for text and most UI elements, ouch.
Session management has been a part of X desktops for a long time, but a few years back it was hidden from the primary UI and some (many?) apps stopped supporting it. You can still find the options buried somewhere in the system settings for KDE/GNOME/etc. Unfortunately it doesn't save your ssh sessions, but you can use preset tab sets for konsole to help with that.
How can I test if my own, Heroku-based servers are affected?

There's a decent amount of spin behind that statement. For one thing, none of the interfaces Apple have shown us actually have lists.

I wouldn't be surprised if version 2 or 3 of the Apple Watch changes to a round design.
After a quick overview, in my opinion it makes sense to try to assemble it. Comments make sense, also the code. I don't think is "garbage code", and if it is, the author put a lot of work of making it convincing.
How vulnerable is accessing these sites? If I tracert to them, the few that I have tried go from the isp to high tier transit to a cloud hosting company. Doesn't seem like much in the way of attack vector beyond someone with a court order access to servers along the route.
It was likely both - it's pretty much all films these days, certainly all R-rated ones for the last while.
I disagree with this perspective entirely. There are many more users of these sites than operators. Assume that a site is no longer secure, therefore operating any of these sites and claiming secure comms is fraudulent. This fraud is obviously unintentional of course, but the greater damage is to the user, not the site.

Secondly, it saves attackers a trivial amount of time. If they're able to exploit this problem, scanning for its existence is orders of magnitude easier.
Running zmap or masscan is such a low barrier to entry (compared to the expertise required to then factor the key and set up a MitM attack) that it's hard to argue this is really making it that much easier for attackers.

Aside from the benefit of pressuring these sites into fixing the problem, it also benefits users, who can now make an informed choice about whether to (say) visit a vulnerable site at a cafe or wait until they get home.
Dan Dennett, the author of the piece that sparked this one, is an obvious intellectual ancestor to these ideas. I can't recommend his book "Intuition Pumps and other Tools for Thinking" enough. In it, he lays out his entire model of the mind, and really, the whole universe. It's eminently approachable and provides a good introduction to the way of thinking lying behind this article.
Have other platforms done this? I'm having trouble thinking of a language toolkit that has dependency management built by the core team. All of these solutions are third-party, they have just become the de-facto standard:

Java uses Maven or Gradle: third party

Python uses pip: third party

Ruby uses gems: third party

Node.js uses npm: third party

I'm sure I'm missing some, but this seems to be the norm. Go just hasn't been around long enough for a single third-party solution to become the de facto standard.
> You mean apart from Tokyo?

Average Monthly Disposable Salary (After Tax)

Everything appears "cheaper" up until that point, but that's never the whole picture. You could also assert that you're likely to be paid less living in Tokyo, and the costs of living reflect this. Property is the major difference there.
They have been known to be weak literally since their inception. The entire reason for export cipher suites was to create encryption that could be broken by the US government.

No one should have permitted them since the export control was lifted in 2000.

That does not change the fact that some sites did in fact continue to permit them as 'last resort' ciphersuites, to ensure total browser coverage. This did not compromise site security for users who supported actually secure ciphersuites -- until now.

Responsible disclosure should mean that impacted sites (if they have been identified) should be informed before being publicly shamed. Doesn't matter if they were doing something dumb, it wasn't a known security vulnerability before now.
A bit of a tangent but... are you sure?

I just replaced a dead drive in an old Mini with an SSD, then installed Yosemite. I'm not really an Apple guy, so I was not aware that Yosemite implemented kext (driver) signing, which had the side effect of 'breaking' TRIM support for 3rd party SSDs. It was never supported to begin with, but prior to Yosemite you could enable it by changing strings in the kext; doing so now will render the Mac unbootable unless you globally disable kext signing. Apple does not offer any other ability for a 3rd party to write their own driver to make this work, short of possibly rewriting the entire AHCI stack, which is not feasible.

Exactly - how much information can be inferred from the file and path alone - in a lot of my cases (for very personal files), quite a lot.

If Dropbox gets to interpose itself in every file update systemwide, that sounds like it's getting too much of my information. Encrypted/Stego drives don't matter - once you open it up to the system, Dropbox sees when you touch it.

All I can gather from this discussion is that I'm glad I'm not using Windows and Dropbox together.

I thought OnLive and other thin client gaming services took a shot at latency, made some great achievements, but hit walls.[1-4] It seems hard to put a few miles between the game and the screen and keep response times natural.

Maybe 99.9% of computing doesn't need latency as low as FPS and fighters though. Maybe this is just taking OnLive[5] tech and making a really smooth remote desktop out of it. If so, I guess this kind of a shoot for the stars, land on the moon technology. I guess that's still pretty cool.

I gather there were a few different approaches to the problem, involving debates about whether datacenter placement or higher framerate rendering were more important. UPDATE: Ooh, DTE, I'd be really curious which of those approaches you thought were failures, assuming you studied competing services, or if you just harvested a few ideas from everybody.
When I was 12 we'd go on hundred mile bike rides and be gone for days. No cellphones.

30 years later, it felt as if my 12 year olds were prisoners in an electronic cage.

From what I can tell, this is a worldwide pattern. Friends in EUR and AUS report similar phenomenon.

Times change. I hope it is for the best.

On a memory-constrained system, forcing files into memory will increase memory pressure. You have roughly the same amount of cacheable data either way, but many VPS providers don't configure a swap partition by default, so the kernel can't page out your idle memory to make room for something else and you can run into OOM problems.

If you're not hitting the bounds of your machine's memory, the kernel disk cache will do a pretty good job. If you are, then you're more likely to cause problems by forcing more active data into memory.

For what it's worth, the kernel is free to evict your unused memory pages to disk (on a system with swap), which is almost an identical access model to disk caching:

Virtual memory: We need this previously-idle section of memory, so let's restore it from disk until it becomes idle again.

Disk caching: We need this previously-idle section of disk, so let's cache it in memory until it becomes idle again.
Good point.

A start for India might be in looking at the decrease in calories and food quality of the poor (a very large faction of the population) over the last 2 decades or so. Rather sobering.
It seems to me merely figuring out the algorithms isn't enough; you have to have a similar scale of processing power, and the brain has some 100 trillion connections, which cannot easily be replicated with silicon chips. So for all intents and purposes, the brain might as well be magic.

I suppose someday we'll be able to grow brain tissue and use it in a computing environment. Maybe that will allow us to approach true AI.

Um, duh? parent of my comment's thesis:

NYC is needlessly expensive but not by as much as you think.

me: mentions supporting fact

nyc costs are comparatively helped by not needing a car!

No one claimed nyc is cheaper, merely that just looking at rent doesn't accurately account for the real price differences. Note also that is a $200-$300 cost savings per person, so double it for a couple. And there is a QOL improvement: taking the train and either reading a book or merely being half-zoned out and sipping coffee is much better than driving.

A couple months ago I spoke with a friend who is a city planner for a top firm and earned his master's from [one of] the top planning schools in the country. He knows some people involved with this project, and apparently those in charge decided to just wing it rather than hire a professional planning firm. Imagine all of the data you must consider when trying to develop a decent-sized city not only for today, but for 30 years into the future. It's a tremendous undertaking and to just skip out on planning sounded to me like it was a significant contributing factor to the demise of this urban renewal.

creating a tech hub that could drive the economy, much in the same way startups are now thriving in places such as Pittsburgh

This isn't even remotely true. Pittsburgh has very little in terms of successful startups. Do you want to program in Java and C++ in a cubicle? That's the nature of Pittsburgh's "tech hub." Pittsburgh's economy is driven by education, medicine, banking, steel/glass/aluminum/natgas.

Pittsburgh, for instance, has Carnegie Mellon, which has focused on turning campus ideas into new businesses

This is why I have to seriously question articles and stories about fields in which I'm not informed. This is absolutely not true. CMU is a joke with regard to startups. DuoLingo, Yinzcam, and Shoefitr are perhaps the only notable ones. There are some robotics startups no one has heard of, but a Stanford English major has a better likelihood of even creating a tech startup than a CMU CS grad.
Reminder that Dropbox was mentioned, by name, in NSA documents released two years ago as the next target they intended to subvert. Also reminder that not long after that they named Condoleeza Rice, celebrated apologist for warrantless wiretapping during the Bush administration, to their board of directors.

Yes, it's possible they named her to their board in good faith, and it's possible they also resisted the NSA somehow, where Google and Microsoft and Yahoo and countless others failed. But, do you consider it likely enough to bet your privacy on it? It seems to me you would be foolish to do so.

The only other excuse for it I can think of is that it's so obviously corrupt that it proves they aren't corrupt after all - that no one could be that stupid. I reject such meta-reasoning. They are simply corrupt.
Back in the 70s there didn't have to be a name like "free-range". It was just playing. We were probably around 7 or so, riding around on our Huffys, playing in the woods, jumping in fiber glass in new construction, etc..

I don't see kids running around outside that much anymore. I think there's a lot of scare-mongering by the media for things that have always been present, and a lot of nosy, do-gooders with too much time on their hands.

That said, as a parent of a 2 year old, I can't really see myself letting my kid in 4 years run around without much supervision. I guess one difference was that we always had our little gang with us...at least 3 or 4 of us always together.
Well, you see in China you have both ends: some kids are still letting their mother do their laundry at 30. But at the same time some 7yo kids play day long by themselve in the alleys of Beijing, and their parents may not have a precise idea of where they are (this is personal experience, one of these kids, the son of a street tailor, was best friend of my son for a while). You also have 15yo kids already working at factories during holidays, and they build a full society of working teenagers (also personal experience).

So, well, no, this is not a worldwide pattern. It may be a pattern in developped countries. And I'm all for fighting against it, and encourage my 5yo boy to go out of our house by himself (we live in an alley with only very few cars).

I'm sure I'm nitpicking here but this is a huge deal for me: forcing a branded splash screen onto the final product. Ugh! Why?! I understand a ton of work has been put into this engine and Unity is graciously offering it for free, but indie software is an individual's art. When an artist paints a portrait, you don't see a "Powered by Winsor & Newton Acrylic Products" stamped onto the bottom of the canvas.

I'm sure I'm coming off harsh here but seeing that limitation really turns me off from an otherwise unbelievable proposition.

Edit: spelling.
Some interesting stuff, such as

> You do not need to be a hard-core dualist to imagine that subjective experience might not be amenable to mathematical law

(difficult to argue but worth considering, from my POV)

The presentation of the argument (that the increasingly counterintuitive implications of mathematical theories of physical reality represent some kind of progressive societal neurosis in the face of fundamental incommensurability) seems a little confused, in that it conflates things like the string theory Landscape and the many-worlds interpretation with perfectly testable theories like QM. I think it's reasonable to have a physical theory that seems like nonsense, so long as the theory passes experimental tests and there's no better theory that does. Why should we expect tiny tiny bits of the universe to be unsurprising to relatively gigantic inhabitants, etc? Whereas my lay impression of The Landscape, the Anthropic Principle, and so on, is that they seem like so much flailing around in the dark, and can support the author's case a lot better - the accusation of neurotic ritual behaviour seems to find more fertile ground with proponents of untestable theories than with those espousing well-tested but absurd-seeming ones.

Though Platonism is a common enough accusation, I wonder if the author is really objecting to Pythagoreanism, whose adherents profess: "all things that are, are numbers" - a narrower claim than Plato's ideal realm, perhaps, and so maybe an easier target. After all, at least one Pythagorean was neurotically (if apocryphally) murdered for revealing the embarrassing incommensurability of the square root of two, which goes well with the article's thesis.

I'm kind of annoyed by Ive's glib dismissal of a circular form factor for watches. There's going to be a whole design language based on circles that make much more sense for watches. For instance, it's pretty easy to imagine a minimalist daily calendar overlay on top of standard hour/minute hands that give you just as much information as the vertical list orientation commonly used in calendar apps. Is it going to be able to show as much information that way? No. Will it still be very useful? Yes.

I also think that treating a smartphone with insanely powerful processors as if they are embedded devices is also a bit disappointing

Computation is power, which is always going to be at a premium on mobiles in a competitive market. But if you want to have beautiful edifices of mathematics in Swift, you can always use Swift to write your own math library, and still get better performance than cpython. Expecting Swift's built in types to trivially be your math library is wishing the design goals were different.

I think some really cool stuff can be done with a circular display combined with a watchface.
What if weather forecast icons were used in place of the hour marks showing you at a glance the type of weather to expect throughout the next 12 hours.
There are tons of other things like this which would make for really slick, intuitive and futuristic feeling interfaces.
Say you have various appointments throughout the next 12 hours. the edges of the watchface could be color coded to different things on your schedule. touching a section and swiping toward the center of the watch could open up details about that particular item on your itinerary.
I've got more ideas too :P
Unless you're moving to the South Sandwich Islands or Greenland, who cares about weather? The idea of selecting a place to move based on weather is completely strange to me.

I had never heard of the term "sea of nodes" architecture before. Here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8118079 is HN discussion about it.
You're confusing "brain" and "intelligence". A brain will be engineered to begin with. Then is has to learn. Once it learns some amount of information, it is intelligent, and this intelligence can be cloned. However, to increase its intelligence, that brain has to start learning again. And this process can be slow, because it is limited by the speed of experimentation.

I agree that the machine will probably be able to learn faster than humans, but it's not at all clear how much faster. Also, we know little about human intelligence. For example, Einstein's brain wasn't much bigger or faster than an average human brain, yet he could make profound discoveries. It's not clear to me that if you take an average brain, and make it faster/bigger, it will suddenly be able to make scientific breakthroughs.
