I'm pleasantly surprised by the feedback on this so far.

As a CHL holder in Texas, I think this law makes sense. Having taken the training, which I think should be a prerequisite for gun ownership IMO, my threshold for when I would brandish my weapon is insanely high now.

Mainly, the course emphasized the huge impact after the situation ends. You may be the one who's dead, as heroic acts rarely end picture-perfect. You'll have killed another person, with a family who's life is wrecked as a result. You'll likely lose tons of money fighting the court cases that'll surely emerge.

Before, I was brought up with the southern notion that stealing a TV warranted shooting on sight. Having actually talked through scenarios, taken classes, and prepared for the unforeseen possibilities, I'd rather avoid using a weapon unless a death is imminent.

> 2. Not sure why you are comparing App Store with Amazon when Apple has an equivalent: the Apple Online Store. It does have physical products and has to deal with figuring out shipping across multiple regions. It's actually comparable to Amazon since they both use the microtransactions approach to billing.

Are you serious? The idea that Apple's online store is even vaguely comparable to Amazon in terms of complexity is just laughable. To start with, Amazon sells essentially everything Apple's store does - plus millions of other products too. And unlike Apple, they're tracking a wide variety of promotions and offers over those millions of products. Then we can talk about all the third-party providers that also sell via Amazon. And how many orders of magnitude more difficult Amazon's search problem is. Not to mention Amazon's recommendation engine. Or the order of magnitude more online users and transactions (Apple's user base is in the same ballpark, but how many of them buy online vs in-store or via a retailer or carrier?). And on and on.

Can one buy Apple products for cash, without supplying any personal information or identication?

Edit: This is a prerequisite for meaningful privacy. Plus having a pseudonymous account, funded by Bitcoins, for buying apps and stuff. Otherwise it's all based on trusting Apple, and so there's a single point of failure.
I'd have thought that the XBox One and PS4 GPU deals would have given them quite a boost, but it seems like they're still struggling these days.

If you're not using passphrases on your keys, then yes they are locally wide open, much like a passwords.txt strategy for passwords. If you do passphrase them, the attacker now needs N passphrases. Perhaps you notice the keylogger before all passphrases get logged? There are probably more scenarios where N keys is strictly better than one, but that's the first that comes to mind.

I agree with the privacy aspect, it's that's the same point that the8472 made.
> These days when I read news like this, my first response is that, does AMD have any chance to survive at all? The technical details for any new chip is secondary.

I know what you mean. When I started reading my first thought was "ugh, why don't you guys just give up" which is a terrible sentiment for me to have. Carrizo looks promising but I just can't see them gaining a whole lot of market share back from Intel.

When I used to build my own computers I always picked the best processor and graphics card at the time, no brand loyalty at all. It was about the time AMD was kicking Intel's butt and it made me so happy to use the "underdog's" products. Now it's probably been a decade since I've used a single AMD processor. It makes me sad.

I provide high quality software security consulting for funded startups and enterprises - this includes technical penetration testing and source code review, but also various other things like parachuting in to help developers and managers and solving business/policy issues in the realm of "security." I differentiate my services on several grounds - higher technical proficiency than competitors (many of whom use automated scanners and call it a day) and greater involvement than a simple pen test.

Like many people, I would tell you to frame yourself as someone solving a business problem rather than someone performing a pen test for a client. One is a valuable investment, the other is a commoditized item on a compliance checklist.

I structure statements of work using clauses for 1. scope and definition of the project, 2. approximate dates, 3. rates, including terms of payment/invoicing, 4. limited liability, 5. various other boilerplate and project-specific minutia, such as how and when reports on findings are delivered, etc.

I charge $2000 a day, or $10,000 per week. This is implicit - if you do the math you'll figure it out, but I really just give a final project-based price. A 50% deposit is taken at the beginning of the project and paid towards the final invoice (so 50% at outset, 50% on completion). I know there are many opinions on this; it works, so it's what I do.

I have about five years of experience in information security specifically. Feel free to reply here, or reach out to me via email if you have more questions or want more guidance.
Am I to take from this that are we getting excited that privacy is a premium item that you have to pay for?
Will it? Sure we're getting close to the physical limits of our current types of designs but a processor that uses light instead can get significantly smaller and 3D. Perhaps we will end up transitioning to systems that use light and continue shrinking.

Not sure what happens after that though.
Console hardware is always high volume and low margin; MS and Sony usually breakeven on costs or even eat losses at the start of a new console generation. For AMD, it was the volume they needed just to keep orders going to the fab and a cash stream of some sort, but actual profit is slim by nature of that market.

That's exactly why that won't ever happen. These laws are named for a reason, the bigger part of which is simply to confuse the ignorant who have not taken the time to look beyond the name.
I agree. Don't mean to be cynical but every public speech given by Tim Cook (and everyone else of high profile) is about setting the stage for something.

Apple is in the fortunate position that most of their profits come from hardware. With Snowden's publications, the security/privacy advantage is practically thrown in their lap. So, why not run with it? We customers only benefit (not only Apple customers, because this will put pressure on others).

As a side node, given Cook's sexual orientation, I am sure that this is an important issue for him personally as well. There are many countries where you can't be gay openly (yet), and digital privacy is a tiny part of the puzzle of protecting people in countries with less liberal laws.
I'm not sure it'd be possible to make a good competitor to Now without tracking what someone does all around the web. That's sort of the point of it - the more it knows the better it works.
And if you're implementing pure Quicksort you have to make sure to recurse on the smaller partition first, otherwise you're using O(n) space in the worst case.

You don't have to do this if you're already using a hybrid sort to prevent Quicksort's worst case, like introsort or (shameless self promotion) pdqsort (https://github.com/orlp/pdqsort).

> It seems like Intel will be pushing 10 before they get down to 20/22...

Intel seem to be struggling though, with shrinking not working out as they planned. They've missed one upgrade-round with the delay to Broadwell, and if the rumours are correct and they're releasing a couple of CPUs and then jumping to Skylake - that's quite a hit to ROI given the investment they've put in to an 'unused' chip family IMO.

My guess is that AMD probably wanted those deals so bad that their margin is not very healthy.
Anything a normal person would assume is private should be treated that way.

License plates? That's why they are for, you register your car with DMV or similar institution in your country for the sole purpose of matching you with the car.

So keeping database of all license plates that match drivers, perfectly ok, but scanning automatically license plates and building map of your daily routes, that is going too far. Where I frequent is my private business.

Public airwaves? Yes, the keyword is "public", assuming the communication is not encrypted. If it is encrypted then it means it should be private.

Criminals can use encryption? Doesn't matter, it is still private. If we allow to go that route, next thing you know we will have implants in our heads transmitting what we are thinking.

If you would try to ship OpenGL game you'll find out that Windows 8+ shipped with crippled AMD Legacy driver (HD2XXX-4XXX) that don't have OpenGL support in it and can't be really replaced using AMD Catalyst installer until user manually install new driver via Device Manager using extremely tricky way.

There was also crippled Intel drivers without GL support, but as far as I aware new drivers are shipped with GL already.

First, let's have a copy tool with delta-sync support. I can't believe I have to use a cygwin-based rsync to quickly update my backups throughout the day (currently: shut down Virtualbox dev VM, rsync changes, start VM).

I understand the MS way to do it is DSFR, but for a single developer workstation that's overkill.
If they actually had a warrant to look for some specific person or group of people I'd actually have no problem with this. Gangs, drug dealers, etc.

The problem is as usual, they feel they are above any judicial review, even if they know they would just get a rubber stamp from a "go to" judge.
yes, all connections

things like scp and rsync recycle connections across files though, so it hasn't been a problem in practice; ansible does too if you use openssh instead of paramiko

ps -- if someone knows iptables well, and is willing to share a similar script for failed connections, I would be grateful! But doing this across all ssh connections was easy enough that even I managed to get it working.
That's an interesting point. One could look at Cartels as also having a comparative advantage in subverting the power of political and judicial processes, which does give then an advantage in running darknet sites.

Your prediction on who will be running the sites seems credible though - I imagine the groups running them will become increasingly sophisticated over time, the potential profits certainly justify it.

VP9 was always going to be dead in the water. There are just too many influential companies part of the MPEG-LA to compete with. With Netflix, Amazon and Apple moving to HVEC and the PS/XBox refresh rumored to have HVEC support there is simply too much content: legal and illegal to bother with adding VP9 support.

Plus is anyone expecting a lot of YouTube 4K content ?
Intriguing! If I ever get into an extended debugging session, I might try it.

Yes; even if that's not true for Apple stores, plenty of resellers.
While they may coincide on a few issues, I don't see enough policy overlap between a right-libertarian who is at least as solidly the former as the latter, like Rand, and a democratic socialist, like Sanders. Maybe they both believe what they are saying, but they believe radically different things when it comes to the role and ideal policies of government.
Broadwell was delayed but Skylake is well on track. While there are not many Broadwell Desktop CPUs worth buying right now (Core i7-5775C and i5-5675C offer superb perf/watt though, especially the iGPU) the new round of mobile CPUs is still impressive and will certainly sell well before skylake comes around.

Does Mozilla's track record include their suggested advertising tiles on your newtab page, based off your browsing history? Or their defaulting to Yahoo to send your searches because they were the highest bidder?

Now yes, they say the tiles are based on your local history and not transmitted anywhere; so it's not as bad (I don't care if other people don't see it, I don't want my data mined even locally for the purpose of showing me ads); but it's pretty clear that Mozilla is a business that wants to earn money. And as the saying goes, "if you're not paying for it, you're not the customer -- you're the product."

But you're right about one thing: they're probably the least bad of all the browser manufacturers on all this. Maybe what we need is a crowdfunded browser, where the company listens to their users and has no conflicts of interest.
If I was a judge the ARM thing would not excuse them from a monopoly. For me it's a bit like saying you have competition because Intel has GPU's too. You can do general computing on a GPU too, but it's a different playing field.

yeah, because games are all that matters to people on HN. Besides, a i7 4790K runs at 4Ghz and up to 4.4Ghz (Single Core Turbo) natively while having 4 full cores, show me a i5 that can beat it in games (non overclocked of course). Sure some lower clocked i7 might be slower than some i5s in certain tasks, but those are obviously still better at multi threaded tasks than an i5.

Well, the other problem is similar to all schools. Students are at varying levels of competence. I finished many labs in 10 minutes which took the other students a full hour and a half simply because I already knew Java/C inside and out. Same with lectures where I was already familiar with the material.
YouTube is using VP9 for 720p and 1080p, too. The file sizes are significantly smaller.

I also wonder how well it calibrates. Saw a presentation the other day about calibrating AR and the top of the line calibration in academia is not super good.

What? Apple makes nearly all its money from hardware, and it is selling more and more.

Software is a key part of their product, sure, and they seem to be doing ok there, but software usually runs on a hardware platform, which someone has to make.

CalDAV and CardDAV are not supported on Windows Phone 8, as I'm not talking about Gmail accounts. Office Online supports ODF because they were forced to, but they continue to lobby against it. The new Outlook app for Android is a privacy invading and buggy piece of shit.

And the "grandma" argument falls flat on its face when you've got an app store filled with scams, mallware and trademark violations. It's also a funny argument given that platforms other than Windows haven't suffered from viruses as much. One could say that if Windows wouldn't exist, we wouldn't have this argument in the first place.

There is no concept of revoking ssh keys, so you have to remove them from the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file on every server you have access to, and delete the public keys at every service you've uploaded them to.

For a revoking mechanism to be possible you would need a trusted third party (like a certificate authority) to verify the keys for each and every connection you make.

"A Registered Investment Adviser (RIA) is an investment adviser (IA) registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission or a state's securities agency." [0]

"A Registered Investment Advisor is defined by The Investment Advisers Act of 1940 as a "person or firm that, for compensation, is engaged in the act of providing advice, making recommendations, issuing reports or furnishing analyses on securities, either directly or through publications." An investment advisor has a fiduciary duty to his or her clients, which means that he or she has a fundamental obligation to provide suitable investment advice and always act in the clients' best interests."

To see just how little Intel cares that AMD exists in the PC chip market these days, just look at how they price their Atom-based chips. Some of them go up to $160 [1] - for what is effectively only a $30 ARM chip competitor.

Intel can afford to do this because as far as it knows the "AMD competition" doesn't exist at that level. If it did, Intel wouldn't dare to price a $30 chip five times higher or replace "Core"-based Celerons and Pentiums with Atom-based ones to trick 99% of its customers into thinking it's actually an upgrade.

The huge difference is that they are completely upfront about it, turning it off is trivial and requires no digging into settings as the switch is right on that page, what they do with your data in terms of the tiles is entirely open source, etc. Plus, the default search engine is paid everywhere.
