I wonder at what point the Drug Cartels just will start running Darknet sites themselves. It would be a new thing for them, but many of the Mexican cartels are actually very technically sophisticated (including running their own telecommunications networks).

I imagine taking down a darknet site run by groups with that sort of power would be near impossible.
How about keeping it together with your batteries?
But then you would of course need circuitry to measure the voltage and switch the booster on, and it wouldn't know what the correct threshold is.
TPP is just a funnel for the USA to pour bullshit down the throats of other nations citizens.
This is a systemic problem though, not a problem with the ethics of the engineers. Systems that incentivize bad behavior are to blame.
I'm kinda disapointed about the whole Type-C scenario.

Now when you've got a Type-C Port, you just don't know what it can do. It could be anything from a USB 2 Port, up to a USB 3.1 + 20A Power + Thunderbolt Port.

You can't see this from looking at it, and Spec Sheets today have a problem of listing the version numbers of HDMI and DisplayPort Ports, I don't see them suddenly becoming very concise about this.

The promise of USB has always been one of standardization. If I knew my mothers notebook is from around somewhere after 2008, if it has a USB Port, it will be USB 2 compatible.

In 2020 i won't be able to know if the monitor i recommend my mother will be able to connect to her laptop over the USB Type-C Port or not, or if it will run at full resolution or not, if it will be able to charge the notebook over it, or not... etc.

Its just a mess. If you make a standard, please make it a standard, not a pick and choose affair where the result ist just confusion.
> Single mother rates aren't because women are some kind of super feminists who refuse to marry. The majority of single mother families are the result of failed marriages and long term relationships.

Failed marriages may in many cases be the result of an independent attitude (such as the single mother in the article, who divorced her husband because he cheated on her). Is it good that she left a bad husband? Is it bad that her child is growing up in a broken home? Well, that's something folks can disagree on.

As for long term relationships, I believe that phenomenon is a symptom of America's incarceration rates among the poor: free men are so outnumbered by women that they have no need to marry.
> Of course, this is unacceptable - but there are very few alternatives. For the record, we - rawstream - don't do this as its crazy to compromise security like this. So we had to find other means.

So, then you're using extensions, BHOs, API hooking, or some combination thereof depending on platform?

I've got a big pile of Eneloop batteries; I've even pretty much swapped out the old generation for the new low-discharge generation by sheer use and wearing out the old set. It takes a lot but it can be done.

And I can't help but notice that if you take this at face value and this really does multiply alkaline battery life by 8, the economics still roughly work out as a tie with existing NiMH batteries in terms of cost... and if the tech fails to do 8x, which I tend to agree is quite likely for the vast bulk of uses, it still leans in favor of NiMH for most things.
so billions for FB/Instagram/CocaCola/Tesla - all justified.

> You bring up the practice of software engineering, but I think you need to place it in context of how software engineering was practiced around the time that the electronic throttle system was developed. MISRA, which HN readers are becoming aware of, didn't exist.

DO-178B was created in 1989, Ada was created in the 70's, standards for mission and safety critical systems have been around since the 70's, I was reading about Ada and safety critical programming as a kid in the 80's (I was a weird kid).

http://users.ece.cmu.edu/~koopman/pubs/koopman14_toyota_ua_s... has a very good overview.

Whether you accept that multiple independent experts in safety critical programming are right or not is up to you however the stuff that came out of the trial painted a very clear picture to me of just how bad this software is.

A cynical person might consider that if Toyota is this poor how many other manufacturers are also as bad.

EDIT: I'm not saying that the UA was caused by this, without the source code and some proof I can't say that however the general setting is pretty terrifying.
Yeah, they're basically just like the unintended consequences of relying entirely on markets.
The trouble is that the battery doesn't know the voltage requirements of the device it's powering. Should it start boosting at 1.4V? Or 1.25V? I have a hunch that it already does this for voltages near 1.5. The trouble is determining where you draw the line.
Chas Freeman's arguments are always such a joy to read. He is like the Freeman Dyson of politics. I don't always agree with him, but I love the willingness to take viewpoints that piss off both parties.
> the media embraced the incident as something that would sink them.

It could have given them a damn good kicking in the consumer retail market and this was new(ish) territory for Intel so they pulled out all the stops to make sure thre was no way it could be made to look like they were trying to fob off the end user.

In reality bugs were present in CPUs all the time in the past, errata were published and libraries & compilets & such were adjusted to avoid the problems with no one making a big fuss - look at the Linux source for remnents of these issues in the x86 line of processors (there were a few in 386/384 era chips, some time after FDIV came the "F00F" bug in the pentium line, and so on). Other chip lines are similarly affected: I remember from my youth tinkering with assembly language there being a bug in some 6502's that meant inirect jumps referencing the last byte of a page would not work as expected.

But the FDIV bug came to attention around the time when CPUs were first being marketted directly at end users rather than PC makers ina big way (as the next phase of the battle you mention in the i486 era), with the man on the street suddenly being aware that they might be able to make the value choice between the alternatives. That is in part why the Pentium line got a name instead of just a code/number (80586, i586, ...): Intel found they couldn't stop people using a number directly in their product names which would have made it harder to differentiate their products from the competition (of course the workaround for this that everyone used was to call their alternative chips "pentium class"). Even ignoring that, a name tends to be much easier for marketing to work with, but I digress... The common consumer had different expectations of how flaws were dealt with and Intel couldn't risk trying to plecate people with "this has happened before, your software will be recompiled and everything will be fine, in fact you are likely not to be affected anyway, stay calm, we've go this" because the masses probably wouldn't take that, especially as Intel's competitors would capitalise on the situation in any way they were given time to, so they instead took the route already common in direct consumer markets: the face saving recall and free replace.
There are ways to make a lot of money with affiliate marketing, but that can involve a lot of trial and error and can (usually does) involve bootstrapping with a lot of your own cash or a credit card. Although I know of at least one person who turned millionaire after bootstrapping by maxing out his credit cards, I would never suggest doing that. It's a deep hole to climb out of if you fail and for every success story, there's probably 100 failures not talked about. In short, the successes I've seen involve buying advertising to get people to a landing page that generates leads with commissions that (hopefully) pay you back more than you spend getting the traffic. It's a delicate operation that pays well only if you get the landing page and affiliate choices right.

I've also seen wealth generated with mailing lists. This is another affiliate marketing play that can be done without feeling too spammy and can still add value to the user.

Similar to a mailing list, a forum can be easy to set up and maintain. Also like a mailing list, if you create a large enough user base, advertising can pay off.

One of the better earners is a subscription model for just about anything. Software provided for free with a "premium" set of features for $x per month is a good way to generate a user base more easily.

A couple things to keep in mind:
1. You will almost always have more success when you're passionate about the subject matter.
2. It will take time. Most overnight successes are preceded by years of ramp-up.
Isn't one of the problems with crawling .onions that you never know how many there are, you can only index known links and traverse any links to other .onions that you can find? So, in theory, it's possible for two completely unrelated "communities" to set up their own .onions and only link to each other (since they only know of their own existance), in which case you would have to be lucky enough to know .onions of both communities to have any hope of indexing "the complete deep web".

I have zero connection to this company but if you are looking for a reliable, fast, unlimited VPN I would check out Private Internet Access (https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/) I've got a number of friends who use this and I've been using it for a little over a month and have nothing but good things to say. At $40/yr it's well worth it IMHO and provides a native VPN client, PPTP, and Socks5 (They have mobile apps as well to make it easier but you can use PPTP directly as well).

I use it 100% of the time on my phone and on my laptop unless I'm at work (internal resources that I haven't figured out how to play nice with yet).

In those systems, the Linux kernel tends to be compartmentalised, basically being run as a task under the control of the real RTOS while the safety critical & hard real-time portions are run in a proper RTOS.

The other situation is that the actual control is deferred to a proper RTOS/micro combination which can do the correct thing when Linux goes off the rails.

The Linux kernel is not a hard-real-time system, it doesn't have complete test coverage and its inclusion in highly-safety-critical systems is as a lower-safety-level subsystem.
You will not find a Linux task controlling (for example) a GPIO enabling an X-Ray beam in human rated medical devices.

BTW: I can promise you that there are many untested goto's in the Linux Kernel...
Mistargeted. Some of those countries listed have large "like" farming operations. If you really want a lot of Philippine users then put in features that "like" farmers would want. Ease of switching identity, stuff to help populate fake accounts to make them look real or more real...

Or if you don't want to get blocked by FB in some eventual roundup of fake accounts (although admittedly FB has no financial incentive to do so, it could happen...) try to fix the demographics of your app so you don't get mixed up with those folks when the hammer falls on them.
There is also an option to route all traffic through the OpenVPN server, and the OpenVPN HOWTO has an entry for it: https://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/howt...

Alkaline is still often the best choice for those really long, low draw applications. That said, if you really want NiMH, make sure it's the latest-generation "low self-discharge" ones, which do seem to be much better about holding on to power for longer. I haven't tried to put it in my smoke detector, but the low-self discharge are now reasonable for use in TV remotes and such. To be honest, unless you use your remote a lot, it's probably still more economical to use alkaline on those, but, well, my battery needs have fluctuated a lot over the years and is now trending down as the kids get out of the "battery-powered toy" phase, and the NiMH-in-hand is still cheaper than the alkaline on the store shelf, right?
That's pretty much my point. By avoiding to use some tools completely one does not necessarily increase the stability of software.

I just hope that such kind of rules allow well documented/argumented exceptions. But I guess even in safety-critical environments you will have to handle exceptions (small, like in "we did something different than what was agreed on" not as in "throw BufferOverflowException") anyway. No system is perfect.

I disagree, provided that the standard provides for some degree of backwards compatibility.

I think it's great how a USB 3.0 drive will still work on a USB 1.0 computer from 1999. Sure, it'll run slower, but it'll work, and even without an adapter! With Apple's previous various high-speed ports (Firewire 400, Firewire 800, Thunderbolt), they have no backwards compatibility -- from FW 400 -> 800 you could use an adaptor, but for Thunderbolt you're out of luck completely.

I'm 41, so not a millennial, but I do switch jobs often. I don't consider this a lack of loyalty; I am loyal, but only while I work there. No, actually I still feel loyalty towards previous employers (if they were good, which many are), but my loyalty does not mean they own my life.

I've learned that the best way to get a raise is to get a new job. And I like a change of scenery and learning something new. But my father and brother have stayed with the same employer for all their lives.

Having kids does not mean I stay at the same job longer. It does influence my choice in jobs, however; I'm more likely to choose something close to home, and more likely to choose higher pay over interesting technologies or cool coworkers (though those are still big factors).
Yeah, if there's one thing I've learned from mechanical mods, it's that I don't want to over-discharge my cells. I'm guessing that your average AA cell won't fail as catastrophically as an unprotected lithium battery due to chemistry but I'd still prefer rechargeables (for most everything) to an endless stream of disposable alkaline batteries (even if I were able to squeeze a little more out of each one).
And for a 12-wire USB Type-C equivalent you'd need a TRRRRRRRRRRS connector.

"Horror"? No, but I guess that's debateable (apparently). But "beyond comprehension"? Absolutely no. Even if we say the repetition offends our aesthetics, I can't even imagine what sort of issue you had to deal with where this file posed a problem. Anything you could possibly want to do with it should be serviceable inside of 5 minutes, except in the dumbest of Notepad-quality (i.e., little more than a text control) editors. That includes rewriting the whole thing to be less offensive, if that's your slant.

This file is nothing compared the types of things mentioned upthread, things which, again, exist in a context of actual production code.

Optional power delivery? Optional nowadays just mean "will be removed before even reaching production"
That's irrelevant to the point about environmental malice.

The pumps provide a value, which you are pointing out the manufacturer can capture more of by offering artificially limited pumps at lower prices.

You're using a throwaway in what seems to be an apparent troll. For newbie programmers out there the reason we don't use global variables willy nilly is because it is very easy to lose track of all the places where one can be accessed. The result is that your code becomes very fragile.

Hola extension has been removed from Firefox and Chrome download sites. I read the source of the Firefox extension at one point and don't remember seeing any binaries or the so-called "zconsole". But CSO Online [1] is reporting the extensions were vulnerable (despite Vectra [2] not mentioning this).

It was also unclear to me how the browser extension could be used to share user's traffic; it didn't seem like the extension did that, but I didn't read the source code too carefully.

Does anyone has a copy of these extensions?

I am disappointed the Windows and Android apps were vulnerable and that Hola didn't market their software better. It's probably the coolest app since Napster. Yes, it's a botnet of sorts, but the Internet needs a way to let users disassociate themselves from IP addresses. And most proxy services are easily identified.

The point is, there will be Plug-Compatible Devices that are not Backwards compatible, as evidenced by the Thunderbolt Port switching to it.

Of course other Devices will follow that come without external power supplies and other features that don't allow for graceful degradation. Thats my point.
