I like that they explicitly call on Apple to document the method of exploitation. Apple surely has internal documentation explaining how these debug commands work.

I don't know what my favorite part is. I'm torn between the part where co-authors were unable to access datasets for months (and never did get them in the end), the part where "trolls and Stanford University professors"

Please, use more words: How do we vote them out of office? How do we recall them or call for votes of no-confidence? You seem to think appointments by elected officials are themselves elections, but there's several hundred years of con

Your entire argument rests on the premise that somehow governments cannot do multiple things at once. However, part of the responsibility of the government is to always exist to serve and protect the people. That need does not abate merely

I'm embarrassed that you live in my city, too. Get off the fence already. By framing the problem as whether the police need tools to do their job, you've accepted the idea that heavy-handed police-driven violence is a necessary pa

It's too bad none of these fascists are elected; we can't simply vote them out of office. Edit: Use your words; your downvotes just tell me that you support nepotism and corruption in bureaucracies.

A TCB should be dozens of lines, not thousands. More code means more places for more bugs to hide. My experience in Safe Haskell was that, if you have to ask each module individually whether it has a safety property, then you've alread

This is the sort of regulation that our industry has earned. We wanted to build this sort of thing, and it turns out that what we wanted to build is harmful to society.

I think that ignoring abuse oriented towards men is a common blind spot in our society. My first upload to Youtube received a comment, "You're nothing but a big fat Jew!" I think that this is quite representative of the hate

Well, yes, but also, the arguments are much shorter when we're honest. Apple is an overpriced fashion company. Ten words or less, end of fucking argument, nothing more should have ever been considered. The entire rest of the thread bri

As another security professional, I'm laughing my ass off. Imagine wondering what targets might be nice, and reading the comments in this file. How nice of them to email and tell us exactly which IP ranges are sensitive!

It varies by area. Here's the guidelines for Portland [0]; it seems that "Home" "FOOD SCRAPS" bins may have pizza boxes in them, as long as wax paper and other inserts are removed. Incidentally, mentally traversing

And Python provides readable syntax . Your example has an easy-to-spot bug, just from reading the code and knowing Python's semantics. Haskell's "programmable semicolon" ends up being a problem here because, thanks to t

Prepared cannabis can't be taken across state lines legally yet, in general. However, you certainly can imbibe many milligrams of edible oil and be extremely stoned on Amtrak. (This isn't legal advice.)

And lest this sound myopic! At least in Portland, the pizza boxes can be put into composting bins, including the plant-waste bins that we put out next to garbage bins. So the paper does, eventually, go to the landfill and become sequestered

Worse nomenclature than any other big language I can think of, including Go and Python. Why should this package be called "algorithms"?

Careful there. Source code to a program is also a fact; it's merely the proof of some statement in some theory. This is one way to view the Curry-Howard-Lambek isomorphism. So, then, what is it about source code which would make it cop

The article's title has changed; I think that they're doing one of those strange plays where the article title is different for different people. This flop, losing a quarter of their value overnight, is one of the expected outcome

Human rights violations weren't a problem; only optics mattered. The contract was a boon initially, and only became a liability because of the media attention. Shameful but typical corporate behavior.

You're literally just making excuses for why it's okay for people to be bigoted based on misunderstandings of genetics.

I know that what you think you're saying is innocuous, but what I'm reading is that you think that racism is excusable because society is broadly racist. Moreover, racist beliefs are excusable on an individual level if they don&#x

Yes, soap arose from mixing ash into animal fats; after a meal cooked over a fire, we would scoop up alkaline ash and pour it into the pot with the rendered fat, creating a natural soap. Similarly, in the beginning, we had hot oceans where

You're not wrong. Categories have an inherent monoid on their arrows which composes them, and so concatenative programming is extremely close to categorical programming. The two main ingredients that are missing in the ecosystem are (1

There is no such thing as race. That's what makes this entire affair so frustrating; merely believing that races exist is racist. If you can show me a society that is racist but that nonetheless ensures equal rights for all races, th
