These policies are clearly jingoistic and nativistic. Why should the people of one country be privileged over the people of any other? Just because they were born there? That's not thinking globally. That's the kind of thinking that leads people to believe that building walls is the solution to problems.
+4 Insightful? Jingoistic? Where oh where are these free trade crusaders when the H1B-pocalypse rears its head? Oh right, it's patriotism when "we" want to do it, it's nativist protectionism when "they" actually do it. I'm sure the race and nationality of "us" and "them" is completely orthogonal to this completely coincidental hypocrisy.
You don't really get it. AC's are good for people posting who wouldn't be able to otherwise, and affording people the ability to post without having their speech policed. Those are good things I support. But, comments like yours and the OP are the price we have to pay for having nice things. I didn't say it wasn't worth the cost, I just said a cost exists. A point you have now made for me.
Comments like these remind us of the cost of supporting AC's. Regardless, I for one treasure this part of Slashdot. It's a good feeling to know that geeks and their contributions are remembered and celebrated. Much love to you OP, Jory, and his family and friends. Thank you for posting this.
So this is a difficult and systemic problem that is going to take lots of eyes and wise input to slowly work towards solving; and we won't see significant improvement for about a generation. DAMNIT.
We'd better set up some advocacy groups ASAP to try and help figure out good ways to deal with this problem.
I appreciate that solutions like quotas and subsidies are harrowing, and quite possibly not ideal. But people in comment sections like this freak out at the mere mention of anyone even approaching the problem.
Very true, one might even be tempted to call it a "knee jerk" response;)
What's sad is that the knee jerk sexist responses here only prove Pao's point.

Actually you're wrong. The only rights reserved for American citizens in the Constitution are the right to hold public office and the right to vote. Even the words you quote from the Constitution don't say what you think. They just say the Constitution applies to the United Started of America. This is exactly why Guantanamo detainees were able to file (and win) habeas corpus cases like Rasul v. Bush: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wik...
Shocked they haven't tried to change the pages with support ad's for trump to try to push he is racist some more.
At this point KKK has been pretty peaceful and certain other group won't say (#blacklivesmatterbutnottootherblacklives) are ones that loot and burn buildings down when they find an something that happens they can protest for even when the something is for a criminal that played a stupid game and won a stupid prize.
Defending the KKK while denigrating black civil rights activists, +4 insightful? Yup,/. isn't racist at all. Cue the -1 hate chorus.
This is an entertaining hail mary to try and distract from the various investigations, emails, and fundraising transcripts etc. "We'll be transparent, we promise! The American people *deserve* to know about UFO's." The meeting where some intern came up with this idea had to be followed by "It's so crazy it might just work!"
The NSA has full video and audio of Skype conversations following PRISM. They actually had audio of Skype before it was sold to Microsoft, and bragged about getting video shortly after in the Snowden leaks (published by Der Spiegel I think). Wtf is the NSA doing with this information? Wasn't this their whole justification?
Can someone with more knowledge of Microsoft's relationship to POSIX/Unix chime in? It looks like in NT there was a POSIX subsystem, and then later a Windows Services for Unix (SFU) later replaced in Vista/Win 7 with a Subsystem for UNIX-based applications (SUA).
The wikipedia articles don't mention any collaboration with Canonical. Does anyone know if TFS is actually just talking about running a desktop environment like Unity ontop of SUA in Win 10?

But it illustrates a key lesson for open source. So much of the project is not just code, it's governance and culture and how to make smart decisions under pressure in a way that respects the people involved.

I thought the same thing but reading the paper the attack scenario seems reasonable. Steps should be taken to guard against this. Another user suggested mandating constant current during charging. First, that may not be desirable for battery longevity (turbo charging when the battery is at low capacity vs charging when it's at high).
Second, that's insufficient to stop the attack, as it does not seem to require the phone be charging.
Attack Scenario.
Small loops of wire acting as EM probes can be easily concealed inside various objects (such as tabletops, phone cases (especially those containing an extra battery), or even food items [GPPT15]). See Figure 1. Monitoring the phone’s power consumption can be easily done by augmenting an aftermarket charger, external battery or battery case with the requisite equipment.
In this context, phone cases which contain an additional battery (and therefore are connected to the phone’s charging port) are especially dangerous since these can be augmented to monitor both
channels simultaneously, thus obtaining a potentially cleaner signal.
The EM probe does not need to be attached to the charging port, just close to touching the body of the phone. This is not an unreasonable attack, and even the harder modified USB charger scenario is feasible. Think airport charging stations with those little tables to rest the phone on, could potentially get both vectors.
Or say you're a federal agency specializing in intercepting shipments and tampering with the hardware. Then you could hack aftermarket battery packs, for example. This is a real concern and should be taken seriously.
Hope it's GPL, there's some interesting goodies in here, and a stated focus on research.
In addition, OpenToonz will also include effects developed by Dwango that utilize its artificial intelligence technology, and a plug-in feature that enables anybody to add original effects to OpenToonz....
With the aim of building an environment where research labs and the animated film industry actively cooperate with each other, Dwango hopes to develop a platform via OpenToonz to help the animation industry instantly apply various animation production-related research results acquired in the field.
If it's BSD we'll see animation houses suck up any research output and not contribute much of anything back.
Dear Whipslash and the Editors,
Please never stop posting these stories. As an industry and a group of professionals it's important that we figure out how to not be dicks. As the saying goes, to those accustomed to privilege equality feels like oppression. I, for one, am very glad to see these stories and even happier when fellow geeks take the time to point out that responses of male fragility are not reasonable.
For example, the idea that no one should be upset because straight men don't get angry when a gay film doesn't market towards them...that's the whole freakin point. This is the Game Developer Conference. It shouldn't be a hetero-space, it should just be a space for game developers. It's not the Hetero Game Dev Conference, it's the Game Dev Conference...
We have to talk about these things to make progress, and the idea that these stories are "too political" is bullshit. How many stories a week do we have about Apple vs FBI? None of these people complain that's too political, but that's exactly what that story is.
People (undoubtedly privileged people) here are comfortable with stories about the technology of politics (crypto, Snowden, etc) but not the politics of technology (women, minorities, lgbtq participation, for a non-exhaustive example).
How many stories have we seen here framing the surveillance state as an inherently racist, anti-black endeavor? (What do you think over-policing is? Real active surveillance looks like Tamir Rice, Sandra Bland, Eric Garner...) Now how many stories do we see here lionizing white male heroes (Barret Brown, Snowden, Lavabit founder) of the anti-government resistance?...
It's very clear how a vocal group of/.'ers prefer minorities and females - silent and with no opinions whatsoever about their lived experiences. Talk about tech if you must, but please, talk about working in tech? Get over it, I have a raging hetero-hardon for Linus, he's so kewl. Let me suggest that it's fairly clear raw voting with no editorial intervention will not help us confront issues inherent to the majority thinking of our community.
Whipslash and the whole Editorial Crew - thank you for continuing to unearth these stories. They are necessary for us to mature.
To those calling for their removal, let me say that your speech speaks volumes. If you simply weren't interested you wouldn't post. It's clear that being considerate for others who are different from you (really making this *our* community, not just *your* community) makes you feel threatened. Time to grow up.
I think you mean whiplash. I do agree though, glad to see this here.
TFT (title) says mice forget as they learn, but TFS makes no mention of this, simply saying that if the main memory pathway is blocked by researchers, then it doesn't get stronger and learning cannot occur.

This is essentially the cloud model for transport, which is pretty interesting. Why buy a server when you can burst as many or as few as you need by spinning up/down VM's in the cloud? Why buy a car when you can hire up/hire down as many as you need? I predict we'll see a massive decrease in the amount of automobiles owned for business purposes. Shippers will own a core fleet and burst up/down around the holiday season as needed.
Platforms like Lyft and Uber will compete to be the market makers. Google and Tesla will offer Self-driving-as-a-Service. GM and other manufacturers will be the IaaS providers of the auto world, handling the insurance, maintenance, provisioning of the fleet. Clients will include the consumer but also FedEx, UPS, DHL, etc. Those logistics companies, along with Lydt, Uber, Didi Kaudi (China) as the ride sharing companies, and HERE, Google Maps, WhatThreeWords, and OpenStreetMap as the mapping companies, will fight for the API layer that both the market-makers (to route closest car to closest consumer) and self-driving software providers need to ping to do their jobs as cheaply as possible.

Given the comment about data recovery here (https://hardware.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=8878179&cid=51696039), what is the current recommended mass storage for Raspberry Pi? Seeing that lower power consumption and USB are desirable, it would be nice to be able to backup/do recovery over SATA and get back non-emcrypted data if possible.
Also, couldn't you just use LLVM to encrypt the drive if you wanted. Or does Raspbian not support that?
Also, a big reason why Qubes runs x86 is that it was envisioned as a way to run Windows and closed-source apps safely under the control of a FOSS hypervisor and virtualized hardware.
That's super cool. Are you associated with the project? Do you have any examples of use-cases in the wild, or anyone using it in production? I could imagine for example a journalism organization or a government body being interested in legacy support for closed-source/Windows applications being very interested in the added security here.
It's an operating system designed with security in mind. What part of the summary was unclear? The "OS" phrase, reference to moving away from kernel based security, hypervisors, VM based isolation of hardware devices, and list of attacks it claims to mitigate seemed like a dead giveaway.
