   I understand the difference. I don't see the distinction. They know an unpatched vulnerability and if they haven't reported it to Apple, they don't own the moral high ground that would justify their smug public-interested bel

   OK thanks. Doesn't StartCom bear responsibility for the behavior of the entity they cross-signed for?

   The root cert for www.schrauger.com is StartCom Certificate Authority. Isn't it their (StartCom's) responsibility to make sure the owner of Certification Authority of WoSign (the next cert in the chain) is acting in accord with so

   I'm comfortable with the privacy-compromises I accept with my phone (iOS). I put my computer in a different category. It's not a social or entertainment device, although I do use it for that a lot. It's primarily where I work

    Lenovo p50 allows 64GB of ECC memory with Xeon (i7 and non-ECC supported too at substantially lower price). I badly need this configuration, and really hope the next MBPs support it.

    iPhone was great before apps. The full featured touch browser was a revelation. You could look up anything, from anywhere. I still spend 70% of my time in the iPhone browser, not in apps.

    I had hoped to read one of those occasional lists of the hard, outstanding problems scientists still need to solve, in biology, say, or physics. Instead, it's a list of meta "problems" like science funding, or poor study desi

    Yup. They clearly have an agenda that's more than just doing business. If all they wanted to do is make money for shareholders, they'd just comply with local regulations. They must be thinking for the verrrry long term, if they ar

    I don't know where you got the information that they do not log these requests, but it is a good assumption, not a bad one. It would be atypical not to log every https request.

    To elaborate: When people mention that supercomputing relies on Fortran code because it runs faster, that's primarily because the compiler knows the program can't modify a loop counter. So an optimizer can shovel off big arrays to

    Change the loop counter? That's supposed to be impossible in Fortran, isn't it? Maybe that's a language extension?

    Or, rather than be bothered passing a law for every possible case, Congress can delegate rule making authority to an agency like the FCC, which develops technical expertise in the domain.
