There are some compatibility problems between Signal and RedPhone. I can't seem to get the two to work together for international calling. Googling "Signal can't connect to RedPhone" shows that I'm not alone in this. Guess I'll have to wait for the Android version of Signal.
Actually you can create extensions to the editor, but it requires a lot more of work compared to the counterpart.
Also, i use both UE and Unity on my mac, and while i agree that UE crashes a lot, that's mostly on user error. Unity, on the other hand, crashes while importing textures, generic assets, resizing textures, hangs when clicking play, etc.
That’s technically true, but performance-wise I’m not realistically going to submit two separate requests for what is semantically one action. On the other hand, it makes the query resource reusable for saved searches, and for showing search history.

I don't know why people are portraying measured boot (i.e., allowing the TPM to prove that your system is running some particular set of code) as unilaterally good. Remote attestation was one of the key parts features of trusted computing that people got up in arms about back in the way[1]. After all, in theory, it could be used to enable DRM that is very difficult to crack, making it more difficult to make fair use[2] of videos and other files one has access to. I admit that it doesn't seem terribly dangerous in practice; the portability problems that have prevented remote attestation from being used for DRM in practice on existing hardware are not affected by the TPM chain of trust getting shored up, and the Windows kernel is never going to be anywhere near unhackable. (Instead, DRM on PCs is probably eventually going to use Intel SGX, which allows protecting a userspace process without having to trust the rest of the system, making trusted boot unnecessary; but a harm is not well justified by the existence of a greater harm.) And on the flip side, using TPMs to secure user data against attackers sounds like a very nice feature, especially given the level of sophistication of the threats some people face these days. So I agree that in a cost-benefit analysis, having measured boot is better than not, and it may as well be properly secured. But there is a cost-benefit analysis to having it; it's not pure good.

[2] I don't mean fair use in a strictly legal sense, because I live in the US where the DMCA forbids breaking DRM even for what would otherwise be fair use under copyright law; but I think it should be fairly uncontroversial that doing so is moral.

If Wiles' proof wasn't in ZFC we wouldn't call it a proof (at least not without qualification). You don't get to just write mathematical proofs in any language you like - otherwise we could pick a language in which FLT is an axiom, and then the proof of it is trivial.

It is possible to copy/paste blueprints as text only. The only caveat is that the output is kilometric (a blueprint of mine with ~60 nodes produces ~2500 lines of text).
That just means we have a bigger problem: if people are reliant on other people's computers to do their computing, they have no computing freedom at all.

The hacker movement has been soft on this for a long time. Blind trust in university accounts is a good example. There's really no reason to believe that your university is less likely to snoop on your mail than Google is. There's in fact a lot more reason to believe that an actual human, with an interest in you specifically, may be doing so. Same with files or processes on a shared server. But hacker culture grew in a time where computing required a shared, large investment in a computer, and so there was no choice but to trust the university computer if you wanted to do any computing at all, and that became an accepted part of the culture.

We now live in an age where the personal computer is just about (but not quite) affordable for everyone. We need to shake the idea that you can achieve computing freedom on someone else's computer. Perhaps you can freely compute for them: if you're doing research for a university who's given you an account, or work for an employer who's given you a laptop, by all means, use their computer. The concept of freedom, then, applies to the university or the employer, and you are just their agent.

But if you're talking about personal computing, we need to get a personal computer in everyone's hands. We need to solve problems of affordability and accessibility, but people should no more be reliant on a company-issued laptop than on a university-issued shell account.

Freelance writing is a quick and highly liquid way to earn marginal income. During college and summer vacations I wrote for TextBroker[1], which pays per-word for SEO keyword articles in pretty niche topics. If you score well on their grammar and writing tests, you can make 1.5 cents per word or $7.50 per 500 word essay. The upside is that it's really easy to convert spare time into extra income -- you can claim one article at a time and write as many as you want. The downside is you'll be writing for some pretty scuzzy SEO folks, and if they ask for revisions it'll tank your cents-per-word estimate. It was a great way to round up some extra grocery money when expenses got tight, but it would have been difficult to sustain for many hours per day. On a good run I could make $40-50 over five hours before burning out.

I've recently come across Scripted, a more writer-friendly service that focuses on content quality instead of brute-forcing SEO keywords.

Perhaps they could sign with a company or group of companies that don't rely on physical location, e.g. software companies.

Even then, it would only have potential if it filled a bunch of other checkboxes of desirable qualities people wanting for those companies might want which are not filled by established cities, like great outdoor activities nearby, proximity to large cities, extremely low property costs ...
Same as any other market. If there is a potential value of say, $5M assuming a problem can be solved, but that potential disappears without the solution, then it's worth $5M. Obviously the other side will want to keep some of that potential value otherwise they won't make the deal.

I don't understand why this is getting downvoted (not that it matters much). I'm totally serious. Ask a question if something isn't clear.

Interesting but there is approximately zero technical information about how it works on their website. Minimal code release. Not a distributed network of independently run nodes (like Yacy or Tor).
But how many times do you have to replace the Bosch and Siemens appliances? It might be a bigger initial investment, but over a lifetime it will likely work out cheaper.

We are a small, diverse team working to revolutionize the way teams communicate about money and expenses, from our small office in the South of Market area of San Francisco. We’re looking to expand our team with dynamic, creative, focused individuals, who can learn new frameworks and systems quickly, and who can contribute their input and ideas into our company and our platform.

We believe that everyone in the workforce should get a smart debit expense card from their employer, and that every business owner should understand their expenses as they happen. We're building a debit card platform that allows small businesses to have dynamic financial controls and trust levels, accountability by default, and real-time expense management. Our private beta went live with Mastercard at the end of last year.

We're a small team from a diverse set of backgrounds (Pinterest, V.C., Netscape, Thoughtworks, Amex...) based in our converted-Victorian office in SoMa.

We strive to have an open and accepting culture. On the technical side:

* We're building our APIs with Flask on Python3 and using Postgres, Redis, Nginx, and AWS.

* We're building our Web apps with AngularJS and Sass (mobile app as a web/native hybrid).

* Our web infrastructure is deployed with Ansible an uses Nginx, Sentry, and an ELK stack for logging.

* We use Git + Phabricator for code reviews and TeamCity for CI. We like linters and unit tests.

We're looking for:

* Design, UI/UX - We care deeply about UX and are looking for a designer who has a passion for building great interfaces.

* Frontend - We're looking for the type of person who reads all of the new browser API specs and is excited by ServiceWorkers. * Backend - Do you have a passion for building well factored code and designing great APIs?

* DevOps - We're obsessive about infrastructure automation.

The C programmers whom I know don't like Go because it doesn't have pointer arithmetic, and the runtime does some "magic" stuff like the goroutines. A lot of C programmers don't really like encapsulation as much as people who are used to object-oriented languages.

C++ and Java programmers see Go as an intentionally crippled language without inheritance or generics, which they can't quite wrap their heads around. Java programmers have a very hard time accepting the lack of dependency versioning, and the Go team's insistence that it is not important is mind-boggling to anyone who has been using Maven for years.

Ruby and Python programmers see Go as a step back in usability and syntax, and those who have not used a statically-typed language see a lot of boilerplate.

On top of all of that, any of the aforementioned ecosystems have a large set of libraries that are widely known and standard in the industry.

I like Go, and I think most programmers would like it if they gave it a chance, but I think it challenges too many peoples' preconceptions. Compare that to Scala, which you can sell as "better Java" and get people on board immediately.
Something that occurred to me recently about the cost-benefit analysis:

Historically, hackers have been very good at taking software that was meant to be secure, and breaking it. As you point out, the Windows kernel was never going to be unhackable. iOS (iPad/iPhone), which is arguably the state of the art in walled-garden verified boot with hardware support, has been reliably jailbroken.

Historically, hackers have been very bad at writing software that was meant to be secure, and keeping it secure.

I'm a lot more confident in our ability, as the hacker movement, to destroy any DRM scheme that wants to use a TPM than to successfully make a general-purpose OS that keeps someone's files secure. And that worries me. If these two were somehow a direct tradeoff (which they're not), I'm pretty sure I'd prefer a world where DRM worked but security breaches and malware weren't an everyday occurrence.

No, shipping takes very little time. They are bred to survive long storage.

If anything that makes local worse - you have to store the produce to be able to have it for more than a few weeks in a year.

Better to ship it from each area as it grows in season, then you don't have to store it.
Student discounts aren't age based, a pensioner can enrol as a student and get a student discount card, it's dependent on being a student, it's not related to age.

Northrop Grumman seriously paid for a Super Bowl ad?

Oh sure, next time I'm out shopping for a long range stealth bomber maybe I'll subconsciously remember the ad and choose a Northrop Grumman one. I've been a long time Boeing-Lockheed customer but the powerful imagery from that ad left quite the impression on me.

I get that defense officials and congressmen watch the Super Bowl, but there must be more cost effective methods of reaching them than buying the most expensive airtime on the planet.

For the record, I'm very much open to buying ideas (or other information) that help me make more money. If you're selling ideas that would help me make more money, and willing to make payment conditional upon me being able to utilize your ideas (and I'll certainly try, given that it's in my interest) post your contact info and I'll get in touch.

I realize there isn't a very efficient market for ideas, and I have difficulty understanding why. I suppose other market participants are just not like me in being interested to buy them, but I suspect a reasonable number of similar people exist. My 6-second guess about the situation is that the market for ideas is inefficient because the small percentage of people willing to buy ideas is difficult to market to and ideas are not equally useful to each person.
"Secure Boot" and "SRTM" are different things.

Secure Boot is a facility of UEFI, the firmware, to restrict which bootloaders and OSes can load, and prevent them from loading if a signature check fails. It makes sure that the firmware knows and trusts the OS.

"SRTM" is a facility of the TPM to inspect what firmware and bootloaders have already loaded and executed, and refuse to unlock an encryption key, attest to the network, etc. if the hashes don't match. It requires a TPM (Secure Boot does not), and crucially it cannot prevent anything from running. It can just refuse to do cryptographic operations depending on what has run. It makes sure that the OS knows and trusts the firmware.

They both have the effect of blocking boot sector malware (although from opposite directions), but the way that they work, the requirements for setting them up, the flexibility you get, and the other threats they defend against are rather different. And complementary, it's often a good plan to use them together to tie a nice knot.

("Boot Guard," the topic of this article, is something else entirely, where the hardware checks the signature on the firwmare. The firmware in turn can Secure Boot if it wants.)
Thanks for the link. Funny indeed. Replace 'XML' with 'JSON' and you have an up-to-date blog snippet.
> I assumed the variable reuse was related to the bug.

The patch submitter isn't making that assumption, even after submitting the initial fix:

>> Did you intend to reuse "i" here?

> No idea. ;-)

Saam later found out through playing with the test case that your assumption was correct, the variable reuse was related to the bug. Other weird constructs also questioned, on the other hand, were not related to the bug - so I'd say you got lucky :)

> The thing is, test cases are often ugly, by nature.

All the more reason to keep them only as ugly as they need to be IMO. Being able to understand what's being tested is useful, yes? Seeing e.g. what corner cases and unexpected inputs are already tested helps me identify what corner cases and unexpected inputs aren't already tested, or might be missing.

(This said, I'm generally perfectly okay with not cleaning up fuzz generated tests. They're inherently write-onlyish in nature.)
>I'd also like hashes of my firmware compared globally so I knew my firmware isn't special.

And how do you know what is your firmware? surely you don't ask the suspected firmware for a copy of itself. Do you extract from memory? how? maybe you can't. Anyway memory (flash, DRAM) controllers also are controlled via firmware. Do you trust your memory controller firmware to deliver the real firmware?

Do you compare it in your computer? do you trust it? do you trust the central hash database computer? do you trust the computers among the path?

Why comparing with others? you assume your firmware is special, but many firmware backdoors (I.E. home routers) affects all devices.

What you need is absolute control of the whole hardware manufacture and software chain, if you can pay a few millions for every computer like the military, then you can do it.
> TPM (UEFI/SecureBoot/Boot Guard etc.)

These are four different technologies. Some of them help your freedom. Some of them hurt it. Some of them have nothing to do with your freedom at all. It doesn't really do anyone any favors to lump them all in the same category; it certainly doesn't make hardware vendors inclined to think you're making cogent arguments.
I think gweinberg had in mind the sort of situation in which saying you hold a heretical opinion brings a punishment that would not be offset by you being recognized as a superior expert later. This creates an incentive to lie.
I think perhaps they should instead mandate something like showing price per year of manufacturer's warranty. Then the manufacturers would have to compete on one front or the other.
"Hash" is a perfectly valid term, although "fingerprint" would also be correct. "HMAC" is something else entirely.

Hillary Clinton’s Private Email Account Hacked? The Perils of Shadow IT
I was given my copy from a friend in college. I keep it on a shelf. The first time I read it, I was amused how juvenile the book becomes. The whole back section about making bombs was basically, "Ingredients: 1 bomb." The drugs section was pretty much just edibles, with recipes that read like something out of Betty Crocker, but an inevitable "1/2 cup of pot". And then of course, there's the "bananadine" recipe.

Now when I read it, and look at the crude drawings, I think it's pretty obvious that this was the writings of a troubled high school student.

Now, The Terrorist Handbook, is a different can of worms...

OK, now let's figure out how to do something like this that might actually work for families and then you will have something useful to society as a whole. The current "managed roommate" setup they have going is probably not going to work very well if families are involved. I'm not sure my two year old running through the halls of one of the five bedroom houses after a shower screaming "I'm naked I'm naked" would go over real well but maybe I'm wrong.

I'm betting they could do something better and more interesting for families and lower income folks once they start building their own properties. Certainly it's worth a try because housing is badly broken in the US and a lot of other countries.
