We moved out to a small acreage two years ago and raised our first batch of pastured chickens. Totally different tasting bird, I agree it's hard to go back to mass-produced after that.

I would argue though, that the breed of bird isn't as important as the method of production. I've had standard cornish rock cross that were pastured and they tasted amazing. I've also had heritage dual purpose breeds and more modern "forager" breeds like the freedom ranger.

All tasted excellent, even the cornish X which are what you would get at a grocery store. The feed and pasture make the difference.

But I seem to recall there was something like this with book clubs, that they'd send you a piece of mail, and you had to reply to opt out. Otherwise they would start sending you books, and charging you for them.

That kind of garbage became illegal in the 1970s or thereabouts. I can't imagine that doing it via e-mail makes it any more legal.

The only leg that Apple has to stand on is that it's going to be really difficult (expensive) to sue them. I'm pretty sure that the actual law is not on their side here.

I'd guess personal feed reader applications are relatively clearly covered, because when you offer a feed for your users to read it is implied that they are going to use an application of some kind to read it.

Websites that just publicly reproduce all contents of an RSS feed very likely aren't (and have lost the resulting law suits, at least here in Germany)

That's simply not true. Vacancy decontrol for a rent stabilized apartment only kicks in if the legal rent for an apartment has reached $2500. So it is very much the case that a vacant apartment can be subject to rent stabilization and cannot be rented for whatever the market will bear.

See this page for worked examples:

Have you actually tried this, or are you just speculating? I just did, and linking still works. Looks like they still have separate pages for movies/shows. But even for single-page sections, I'd assume they are updating the hash so linking works.

Uh, yea, the browser shouldn't become unresponsive, break, or behave in such unexpected ways. Not having a limit is just sloppy. Understandable how it'd be overlooked, but sloppy none-the-less.
That's completely untrue. I live in a rent-stabilized apartment I rented at (moderately) below-market rates three years ago. Had the landlord not done what they claim are $40,000 worth of renovations, they would have had to rent it to me at something like half the market rate.

That's kind of weird. What does it take to peacefully annihilate/void a constitution, then?

I would assume that if every citizen revokes their citizenship to the original country, then the original country ceases to exist, no? (Or rather, retains no more sovereignty than a "country" like Sealand.)

Yes please. Alternate list display options are nice as well. Generally I browse instantwatcher for new releases with the short synopsis turned on, which includes star ratings and rotten tomatoes where applicable. And please, no hover info, unless it's in the cover art display, as generally I'm viewing on my phone (unless you correctly identify touch events and count them as a hover). It's surprising how many sites get this aspect of mobile usage wrong.
While LastPass seems to be responding well, I find their entire service exceeds my tolerance for risk.

If you don't use a password manager, you've got 99 problems, but a centralized store of your credentials for everything that's a huge target by virtue of having thousands of similarly centralized users ain't one.

Using a password manager (good idea) and then storing all your passwords on a 3rd party service of which you have no control seems inherently risky. Lastpass is a huge target, and while I believe they generally take reasonable security measures, for many the risk of compromise may be greater than an encrypted stand-alone password database. Use a password manager, please, but keep it offline and don't aggregate it with loads of other people's databases.

This is one area where I feel strongly that the conveniences of 'Cloud' are outweighed by the risks.
neat! Interesting for high-load tasks. But regularly in day-to-day JS is so much easier to work with :).
I'm a bit jaded but it looks like a really great change to focus on what you can watch versus reminding you that there used to be a movie in this space that you can no longer watch.

I love Netflix as an instant streaming service, and I really dislike the hoops that big media makes folks jump through, but after having yet another movie I recommended to a friend that I had streamed on NetFlix but had disappeared, I switched back to buying movies on disc that I want to have in my library.

Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff Steps on Persistent Theory About Startups
Because steel is very ductile and tough, where as concrete is very strong, but brittle.

Make a tunnel in the ground with concrete and if the ground moves, your tunnel moves too, along with it. Unless your tunnel is stronger than the ground. Which it isn't. Or if it is, it's a 10ft diameter tunnel with 40 foot thick walls. Which is SEVERELY uneconomic.

Make it out of steel and put it in the air, and things get a lot different. The air doesn't make the tunnel move so instead of being surrounded on all sides by things which can exert force (in the ground) it's instead only acted upon by the pylons.

The pylons are supposed to be around every 100 feet. That means if the earth moves 20 feet sideways between two pylons the steel has a chance to bend and move rather than be sheared. And you can design the pylons to be strong enough to hold the tube up, but not so strong as to break the tube. So if things move a long distance, the closest pylons will break free from the tube and the tube will be supported by pylons which are further apart. That reduces the angles necessary to keep the rest of the tube on the remaining pylons which support it, and that means you're asking even less of the steel.

Sure the tube might get some bends in it that it wasn't designed for, and it might even sag down. But you can give the cars braking mechanisms that'll automatically be triggered in an earthquake so that the forces experienced when encountering these new features isn't so unpleasant.

The alternative with the concrete tube in the ground is that the tube shears into two parts which are no longer connected. That means that the tube suddenly stops and you're crashing into the dirt at 500+ mph.

This is a good article, but the HN guidelines ask you not to editorialize titles. Submitted title was "China has now compromised VPNs and Tor".

(If this was just the NYT changing its own title as it is wont to do, then ignore the above. But it doesn't sound like an NYT title.)

I don't think it's true that news media "clearly" do not see themselves as watchdogs anymore -- that's a pretty massive generalization.

As the article discussed, the universe of news providers writ large has certainly moved in two directions that are problematic: (1) ideological coverage, i.e. the big cable networks, and (2) "short-form"/entertainment/listicle-style coverage that optimizes for page views instead of content, i.e. Buzzfeed (although they're developing a helluva investigative section and stole Mark Schoofs from ProPublica).

But just because the balance has shifted does not mean that all news media have suddenly abrogated social responsibility. The legacy papers aren't dead yet and their quality hasn't diminished notably; on the new media front, folks at places like Ozy and Vox Media aren't half bad at balancing the pageview-centric culture of most online media with depth and quality of topic selection and reporting.

In short, I don't think that statement is problematic at all. The author is worried about the sustainability of quality news, but it seems wildly inaccurate to deny its current effectiveness at promoting governance.

For my personal use, I feel more comfortable with 1Password and having full control over my data.

For company wide use, LastPass Enterprise is a better fit. Centralized management is essential when dealing with larger numbers of not particularly tech savvy and security conscious users.

And despite this incident, I trust a specialized operation like Lastpass more with keeping the data secure 24/7 than myself or company IT.
Putting that in an unsolicited email is insane. If someone has an actual copy of that email, with headers, please post it somewhere. Send a copy to the EFF. Send copies to law professors.
I don't think Microsoft is ever going to risk putting a Backdoor™ in Windows after NSA_key or at the very least after the Snowden document leaks + OPM hack (which both prove the US government's incompetence in storing classified information securely, which means the company's backdoor could be exposed at any time).

But that doesn't mean Microsoft isn't going to make it easy for the NSA to bypass its security. We've seen several reports of that from the Snowden documents, and it affects OneDrive, Outlook, Skype and probably even Bitlocker.

All Microsoft needs to do is not fix a vulnerability it finds out about (not a third party that reports the vulnerability to the company, as they would have no choice but to fix that). And it doesn't even need to do that indefinitely. It could fix it when a new vulnerability appears, and it can rotate them every 6 months or so.

Then it can either directly give that vulnerability to the NSA through all the "cyber sharing programs" where Microsoft has been a "volunteer" for years (way before Apple), or it can let NSA "discover" it on its own, which can be as easily done as Microsoft's security researchers talking about a new vulnerability internally through channels that don't have strong end-to-end security.
The threat is that they could do a cold-RAM attack and read the key off the RAM. That does require a bit more physical access than just turning it on.

The other big threat is that TPMs are probably cheaply built, and anyone with decent hardware skills can probably pop the key out of the TPM. I haven't seen the TPMs in laptops boasting anything like FIPS-140-2 Level 4 validation or any real tamper proof abilities.

But for common users, a TPM+Bitlocker transparently deals with the issue of "left laptop in taxi". Microsoft, AFAIK, allows TPM+Bitlocker in lieu of a smartcard for remote access.
Wahoo: All-purpose framework and decentralized package manager for the fishshell
I mean, it practically is. I live in Manhattan, and with the exception of a very few places (basically UES right on the river and then the projects) any studio apartment south of 100th (~115th on the west side) street is going to be $2000/month or more. If you find any place cheaper it is going to be borderline uninhabitable or a 6th floor walkup. Rents in Harlem are going up now, too.
Well, economists often suggest a better way than just let the rich take over: directly subsidize people, not flats. So, if you want a neighborhood to not just attract bankers but also families with kids, pay the families for living there! The idea is to pay them only while they live there - independently of which accommodation they choose - and stop the payments when they move away. This way, the market isn't distorted, people don't get "sticky" in their ability to move to other apartments, and the whole setup is much more fair, as it's pretty easy to control who gets which benefits.

The downside, of course, is that the cost of such payments is far more transparent to the public. Many economists would argue that it's in fact much cheaper, as you it's more efficient. Still, today's subsidies are well hidden and almost never show up in household budgets. And thus it's hard to get to a system of direct payment.
> The bytecode idea adds complexity and doesn't actually speed up unless you add JIT conversion to native, which makes it a compiler again.

In every language implementation I've worked with, bytecode led to a large improvement in performance.

> The virtual method penalty is way overstated.

This makes me think your data is outdated. It's more about the loss of locality today than it is virtual method dispatch. With a tree-walk interpreter, your "code" is spread all throughout memory and executing involves jumping all over the address space. That kills your cache.

> Its still 10X faster than an interpreter. And 10X slower than a compiler.

Those numbers don't mean anything without context. What are the semantics of the language? What's the object representation? The memory model? How are local variables managed?

Call me crazy, but I don't think a bytecode compiler takes any more time than that either.

Slackbot to help take meeting notes
This is at least in part inspired by the (for the most part) success of the UK cabinet office's Government Digital Services.

Despite years of multi billion pound IT projects at the hands of Microsoft, HP, Crapita etc going over budget and delivering poor results late, the small internal team have produced some very modern, very successful web services. They even had a GitHub and PivitolTracker board publicly available if I recall.

So yeah, whether it can resist being outsourced and off shored is one thing, but with the right people (sounds good so far!) I wouldn't write it off as another government IT disaster just yet.

Seriously if ads were just like unobtrusive text ads I would be ok with it. I have never minded advertisements in dead tree news papers and magazines (they also don't track users). Online ads are toxic.
Another interpreter scheme: create a token form of the source, then pass over that constantly reinterpreting the tokens (re-parsing from tokens) and with massive switch() statements execute from a symbol table. That's the slowest, and how interpreters were done years ago.
They are pushing these agendas but unfortunately the standards are rather abysmal.

"Meaningful Use" has become the butt of many jokes. HITECH is the preferred compliance framework for Healthcare companies but it takes dramatically longer, and by extension is more expensive than comparable frameworks like SOC 2. The UX of most new Healthcare IT is embarrassing, by the standards of anyone who grew up in Web 2.0.

Add to this the amount of money being spent for this innovation and it's painful how inefficient of an investment the government is making. There are some companies really trying to push the envelope but the majority of the industry is mired in red tape and antique thinking.

It would be one thing if all Apple did was send publishers email saying: "We love your writing. We plan to include your RSS feed in Apple News unless you opt-out (here's how to do it). We will respect your copyright and will only display fair use excerpts."

But Apple didn't do that. Instead their email includes language about "indemnifying Apple" from legal liability. It also includes open-ended language about "placing advertising next to or near your content...without compensation to you" in a way that might ordinarily require a license. I wonder if this language would be viewed as legally binding if Apple can demonstrate that the recipient, say, logged into News Publisher to check their settings but chose not to opt out.

On the other hand, as a practical matter, I suspect bloggers will not be lining up to sue Apple in federal court...

You started here:

You've assumed constant foam density which I don't believe is a given. That's how all helmets are made right now, but nothing would prevent someone from making two separate pieces and bonding them together, except cost. And what's the incentive to increase cost (and thus price) unless you can use that to differentiate somehow?

I don't see how my beating the point (to death) that manufacturers can go ahead and do that is bad form. If you want it, go ahead and take the last word.

That is true; but surely provision of an RSS feed constitutes a presumptive licence to redistribute.
If they rotate vulnerabilities in Bitlocker, that could be discovered via reverse engineering. And a big vulnerability (like incorrectly calculating the IV for a sector) would require rewriting the disk.

I'd also wonder what vulnerabilities would exist in such software. The encryption part is well described, and one would expect it'd be done right (and if it's wrong, that requires rewriting the disk to fix). Other than that, what are we talking about? Bugs in the TPM/BIOS PCR checking? Accidentally writing the keys somewhere? I'm probably being very unimaginative here.

Edit: Let me say I'm assuming you have a password in addition to the TPM. Obviously if you can boot the machine up and have Bitlocker decrypt, and you have access to the machine, you can somehow extract the key if you have the resources.
