Nice story in the comments: http://forums.theregister.co.uk/forum/1/2015/07/24/hp_dress_...

> Years ago I was invited to visit HP by the head of a department there. I was interested in possibly selling a company to them, so on the appointed day I hopped up the coast for a look. The man had forgotten, and was out of town - I was shown round by an embarrassed group of his managers, said a polite thank-you, and left.

> I had parked facing outwards, as I usually do so I can see what's there when I leave. When I got back to my car there was a little sign on the windscreen saying "At HP we park facing inwards."

> That day, I learned everything I needed to know about HP, and soon after sold my company to one of their competitors (who fell about laughing when I told them this story.) The HP department in question was in due course closed, HP itself has lurched from one managerial disaster to the next, and here's one more buffoon with an MBA, putting one more nail into the coffin.
I expect all financial math is fixed point.
I keep trying to explain to people that if anything this adds complexity to the security problem...
>We've chosen to accept that risk, and have control over it though government. People could choose to make it illegal.

I'll expect to see you down at the legislature lobbying for reform and threatening jail for the opposition.

>Also note that when the police do it they take precautions such as having bright multi-colored lights on the car to draw attention.

It's hard not to notice something so distracting! That's another argument against the practice, isn't it?

>We can't put a company in jail and we don't usually do it with the CEO for much bigger crimes. I doubt the CEO had any idea this could happen.

It's a funny thing. We can never seem to find anyone in a company who knows anything or has any responsibility. We just have to satisfy ourselves that if popular opinion moves against a company strongly enough, or the gov't gets shamed into prosecuting them, that maybe then they might address some problem, usually after it actually kills people, so long as nobody has to admit fault. It's almost like a huge stunt is needed to get peoples' attention sometimes!

>I imagine this is one of those things where dozens of people in different departments...

Yeah, we all know about how corporate structures insulate decision-makers from the consequences of their decisions.

>cut and try

"Cut and dry" So, because it's easy to prosecute these two, and hard to prosecute the others, justice should take the easy route, even though one may have endangered tens of people on one occasion, and the other endangers tens of thousands of people for months? I see a different value proposition here than you.

>Frankly the number of people in these threads defending the overly dangerous demo scares me

I guess it would surprise you to learn that I feel the same way about you after this conversation?
You can't use common words in a field as registered trademarks. They can be used as trademarks by a company. The purpose of a trademark is to indicate the origin of goods and services - thus sane trademark registration requires that a mark being registered meets certain basic requirements. One of those requirements is that a mark not be a common term in the field. A trademark has to be distinct.

Google is distinct in the field of search engines as it's both a neonym (ie neologism, made up word) and a word that is not especially pertinent to the particular field of commerce. That is why it's Google and not Googol, neologism's are better because it's far easier to establish uses that are infringing.

You /can/ use almost anything as a trademark but there are restrictions on what can be a registered trademark.

So back to Disney.

"Snow White" shouldn't be allowed as a trademark as it's a traditional term in the fields of story telling/movies/cartoons/fiction. Just as a fruit sellers can't have [the word mark] Apple as a registered trademark so too it is normal to reject marks that would prevent people from merely describing their goods (as opposed to indicating the origin of those goods [or services]).

Thus to my "wrong, wrong, wrong" statement - Snow White is a perfectly good mark outside the fields of fiction, eg for a hair care product. But allowing the registration of a mark for a Nice class in which that word is widely used descriptively is insane. "Snow White" can only practically indicate the origin of goods/services outside the field of fiction/media.

>Trade marks and copyright are totally separate beasts

Except in these instances they're not. Because trademarks don't expire (as long as you pay renewals and manage to avoid genericisation, etc.) then a common method of protecting copyright works as they pass in to the public domain is to use RTMs to bind as much as possible of the IP away from the public domain; eg getting RTMs on character names. This way it is more risky for firms to sell the now public works and the ability to create franchises and such is made far harder - you can create a new Snow White series and use "Snow White" descriptively but then you attempt to create merchandise and oh look Disney own the names of your central characters.
What you had to say about VR intersecting with other technologies. VR will not only be an incredible communications platform but many technologies will converge on it.
The real question is "how could I be popular, do not feel alone and find a better job".

Ok, you seem to be ostracised and burnt... First of all you need to ask yourself why.

1-Are you too much stupid? take some classes after work, read books, improve your skills, learn, work hard.

2-Are you too much smart? Are you of the honest and direct type? Nothing bad with this. Some people will tell you that you are cocky, or negative just for hiding the fact that they are afraid by you. Sometimes is hard to be intelligent.

3-Are you being misunderstood?. They see you as strange or booring?. Maybe you need to improve on this (yes I know that I can be peculiar sometimes but I don't care. I'm a good worker, harmless, can deal with social events and is perfectly ok to have an exotic and creative personality like mine)

What you could do?

Do not let the bastards let you down

For pete's sake do NOT say anybody that you are trying to change and be a better person. First of all because this is a confession that something must be wrong with you, but mostly because you should not try to reach this. Is a wrong goal. Nobody wants a saint in the workplace unless the workplace is a church.

Instead consider to empower yourself playing the excentric card. Deploy slowly some socially inofensive moves and hold on them. Put a small plush burrito in your desk, because "some girl friend give it to you, and is cute". If your workplace allows it, wear a colorful shirt sometimes just because you feel better with it. If you personally like it, maybe a small discrete tatoo could work as: "I'm adult, is special to me and I do not need to ask my mom for this" (But remember that this is forever). People have flaws, so invent yours carefully.

In any case avoid to overwork it and look crazy (Do not put a piercing in the nose and appear with a shirt with a drawn of a blood splash. This is not funny nor interesting, is alarming). Just put one or two (not much more) funny anomalies in your personal image (that could let people to start a trivial conversation if they want) and them forget that they are there. Avoid the pathetic seeking aproval and chasing all people away with the "Why nobody have still noticed my new fabulous random stuff?").

Interviews:

Put the focus in how your skills are good for the work, no you are not negative just because you are honest and do not hide the problems, and not, you are not coocky just because you feel confident in your skills.

If a company can not still understand the simple fact that every people have different personalities and want you to reprogrammate, just run away from them. This is not a company, is a sect.

Just try to be a decent person. Do not harm others and help them if you can. Culture carefully some small harmless flaws just because people hates perfect guys and because you can and this makes you feel better and empowered, and do not trust what a silly interviewer said about who you are or how you are. He just don't know you at all.
If your threat model is someone stealing and cracking your private key, you really ought to be more worried that they are going to use their time machine to go back in time and kill your mother.
Funny I was exactly looking for a private jet for a group, and could not find a good website with quotes.

That would be nice to be able to NOT filter by number of passengers, since I have no idea how much a jet cost and I want to see multiple planes and compare prices per capacity (I 'm with getting 5 people or 20 and go with either if cheaper or nicer plane).

I dunno, this latest thing over thesis.com is so outlandishly childish it's almost beyond belief. If I were on the board of Automattic I'd be showing him the exit, at least for a little while. This is not the measured behavior of someone I'd trust with making decisions for a multi-hundred-million dollar company.
Of course it comes out of the pay. So do all your other benefits.
> I'd also recommend still requiring a sudo password on the other end and sending auth events to a auditing server.

You should be auditing everything already, and adding in sudo now adds another attack vector. You also now have two different accounts that can be manipulated to compromise a system.
I like that on the remote server he prefixes commands with a space so they won't get saved in the history file.
The real reasons why Assange has not been interrogated in London
That's actually unevitable. Everyone is richer today (in a sense) than 100 years ago, and the quality of life and work has increased for hundreds of millions of people. Imagine all the people who do not have to work the fields due to machinery. Now we just need to further these advances and soon enough we'll have a world where most of the menial work will be automated. At that point there will be a revolution and the rich will be forced to pay a hefty 70% income tax to provide for the 70% of the population not a work.

I had a web app to do this a few years ago (2011?) For thematic music video content at http://80smtv.com/#80smtv (still up but a ghost town).

Here's the source (https://github.com/kristopolous/emptyv) ... most of it was written during the 3 or so weeks that it had lots of traffic, coming from all places, Poland.

I worked hard on the anarchistic anonymous vj feature as a social experiment. It was interesting but not traction building.

One day I'll build something that can sustain traffic. One day...
Yeah, I'm not seeing the point of doing that. You might as well create the key, encrypt it with the passphrase as per usual, and then post it online for all to see.

It's effectively the same thing as generating the key from the pass phrase, except you are mixing in a nice giant product of two primes in to the mix.

Intel confirms tick-tock-shattering Kaby Lake processor as Moore’s Law falters
I guess this is bit color, then (a similar "random" example is used in the Colour essay somebody else linked.) Thanks for mentioning "derivative work", it's a good key word to look into this further. After skimming https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derivative_work I guess one question is, is applying cryptography "transformative"?

To take it in a slightly different direction, since parody has been upheld, what about a deterministic, reversible, mechanical parodic transformation? AFAIK machine-created works can't be given a copyright, but I'm not asking for that, merely that a machine can create a sufficiently transformative derivative work.

In fact, maybe it doesn't even need to be parody. In https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_10,_Inc._v._Amazon.com.... search engines were permitted to serve thumbnails of copyrighted images because the copies "served a different function than [the original] use – improving access to information on the Internet versus artistic expression." In the same way, an e-book could be "improving access" rather than offering "artistic expression."

I guess establishing "transformation" is a bit tricky -- presumably ASCII-encoding an English book's text is not transformative. But it seems like somehow you could come up with something interesting and legal, even if it's not quite like my original formulation. Google Books' excerpts are probably like this.

Oh, and after re-reading the Colour article, I see I am not even all that innovative: http://monolith.sourceforge.net/
Great stuff. Anyone aware of Android libs for this?

Does it work at 45000'? Seems ideal to have one comm system for low and high altitudes, but at least there should be at most two and no gap in coverage.

My read is that your argument about the characters Disney appropriated misses the point about those it's created. A curious asymmetry of sharing, etc., etc.

Or, in other words, your post above is a strawman / red herring (though a frequently encountered one).
The last time I looked into the WP theme GPL issue, by some of the mentioned logic, every PHP script ever written and distributed would end up being a derivative work of the PHP engine.

One way to get around some of it, is to use WP as a data store and management layer, with your own 2nd layer on top of it, that does use WP's functions to pull that data out, but is not a theme that has to be installed nor activated.

Which is a actually what I've done with my website - but that's not why... It's basically a mini-cms that first checks the file system for the page, and if not found, calls into wordpress.

I agree with your main point, but:

> nothing but the market has any voice in what [journalists] do.

That "market" is pretty specific, and has a strong voice, though. Most media are owned by a few big corporations, and basically say what those corporations will allow them to say. Those who don't quickly find it much harder to sell ad space, their main source of income.

Corporation-sponsored media are structurally just as bad as state-sponsored ones. For practical purposes, they might even be a bit worse.

One way or another, independent journalism needs independent income.
Wealth gap is meaningless to me. I care about quality of life, which has dramatically increased.
You are right about it being nice to see functional code in your language. However, from my learning experience I understood the functional style much better by using actual functional language. I started with Scheme which has very minimal easy to understand syntax. Many courses ask students to try forget whatever they know about programming before introducing functional style. If that helps (for me it did), I think starting with new language would be nice decision.

Take a look at the "Why You Need Stout" section near the top for an explanation of what it does. We started with a simple solution, and ended up building Stout to solve versioning and cache synchronization issues we were experiencing.
Hmmm - I believe I did. From a single person's perspective: it is expensive to fly from winnemucca,nv to say green river, ut.

And as far as the whole "does not pay" / "subsidies" - that is a nonsense argument because no one applies that standard to the interstate highway system or to airports.

This reads like an instruction pamphlet on how to lose your best and brightest. We need you to dress in arbitrary fashion X to prove we're "professional". In other words, some uptight dickhead executive from large customer Y complained about engineers in t-shirts. Here's a hint: the guys that are willing to suffer through wearing a tie everyday aren't the guys you want creating your product.

Then again, maybe those guys are already gone.
Oh, HP... what your shareholders (and many others) expect from you is "memristor", and what they get is no memristor, but a silly dress code for employees. So sad.

If a patch can be made by upstream in good faith to addressa vuln before CRD, embargoing until after its users have had a reasonable chance to deploy it is a very good thing. If the upstream is not responsive, that's different. The point is not artificially creating fires and surprises unnecessarily, which put thousands or millions of systems at avoidable risk. Patches need to get out there as soon as possible when good faith is working and PoCs need to be released anyhow if upstream is unresponsive. This accountability will ensure that preventative, cooperative fixes are released as soon as possible with minimum damage. Because of a premature PoC were used to takedown life/safety or major business concerns, there will be additional fallout. Playing fast and loose and dismissing concerns of large-scale installed bases is not a strategy, it's either ignorance or hubris. Causing emergencies and putting people unnecessary risk is nearly always preventable bullshit. There are only a few cases where upstream developers are unable, incapable or unwilling to patch something in good faith that it should be released... And in some cases where the fix is tricky, there should be an occasional, mutually-agreed short deferment. Again, avoid unnecessary harm to users by applying common sense rather than unrealistic dogma "full disclosure right now, fuck everyone else."

In general if you can make your site static (just flat files), you should serve it from a CDN. It allows you to have edge locations closer to your users, and it gives you something which is (effectively) 100% reliable. You never have to do maintenance, never have to reboot instances or worry about scaling. It's faster, usually cheaper, and more reliable.

In terms of which CDN you should use, there are a few options. CloudFront has the most edge locations, Fastly and MaxCDN are more configurable. At Eager we use CloudFront for our app (https://eager.io), and Fastly (with a CloudFront fallback) for the static files we serve our users. One other note is that Fastly has some cheaper SSL options than CF, particularly if you need support for Windows XP clients.

Yep. You point Stout at any HTML files, and it will version the JS/CSS and deploy the files reliably, with rollback.

OpenCV has GrabCut implementation which works on android. There are numerous implementations of SLIC superpixels. Even this will work through a cordova style wrapper, but I would really not recommend it, since you can use a much faster and accurate native OpenCV on android.

Just to nitpick, backwards compatibility isn't really a huge issue for Intel. Most of the really old stuff that's a pain to maintain can be shoved in microcode; compilers won't emit those instructions.

There are obvious downsides to the architecture, but the need to be backwards compatibility shouldn't hurt it too much.

GPU workloads are very different in that generally you don't have to look particularly hard to find a bunch of parallelism that you can exploit (if you did, your code would run terribly); so you can generally gain a load of performance by just scaling up your design.

CPUs are super restricted by the single threaded, branching nature of the code you run on them, and this is what makes CPU performance a little more nuanced, and not directly comparable.

That's fine if you're behind the vehicle right when it starts slowing down. I agree with you that a fatal accident is highly improbable there. But it didn't just slow down a bit and then resume speed. If you watched the video you saw that the vehicle came to a complete stop. The vehicles that saw it mildly slowing down have already driven by, leaving only incoming vehicles going 70mph unprepared for a vehicle ahead at a total standstill. Hopefully those unprepared drivers are sufficiently conscious, alert, and otherwise not distracted to react in time to prevent a crash. As the clips I posted above demonstrate, I wouldn't bet my or anyone else's life that that is the case.

But that's exactly how these things happen. People program insecure stuff thinking 'well, at least this isn't connected to the internet', then one day someone else takes the blackbox the original guy (long departed) put together, hacks up a TCP/IP interface or does something else without looking through the codebase and boom you're wide open.
