As we work to address the fallout from the current storm around Facebook and Cambridge Analytica, we can't afford to lose sight of these larger mechanisms at play. Cambridge Analytica's failures and mistakes are inherent to Facebook's business model. We need to seriously challenge the social structures that encourage people to opt in to this kind of surveillance. At the same time, we also need to protect those of us who manage to opt out.

President Barack Obama has admitted that his failure to pass "common sense gun safety laws" in the US is the greatest frustration of his presidency. In an interview with the BBC, Mr Obama said it was "distressing" not to have made progress on the issue "even in the face of repeated mass killings". He vowed to keep trying, but the BBC's North America editor Jon Sopel said the president did not sound very confident. However, Mr Obama said race relations had improved during his presidency.

"For us not to be able to resolve that issue has been something that is distressing," he added. Mr Obama has pushed for stricter gun control throughout his presidency but has been unable to secure any significant changes to the laws. After nine African-American churchgoers were killed in South Carolina in June, he admitted "politics in this town" meant there were few options available. Nine months ago, the president seemed like a spent force, after taking a beating in the midterm elections, during which members of his own party were reluctant to campaign on his record. But the man sat before me today was relaxed and confident, buoyed by a string of "wins" on healthcare, Cuba and Iran, after bitter and ongoing battles with his many critics. The only body swerve the president performed was when I asked him how many minds he had changed on the Iran nuclear deal after an intense sell aimed at Gulf allies and members of US Congress who remain implacably opposed. There was a momentary flicker across the president's face as if to say "You think you got me?" before his smile returned and he proceeded to talk about how Congress would come round. But notably, he did not give a direct answer to that question, which leaves me with the impression that he has persuaded precisely zero.

Children growing up during the eight years of his presidency "will have a different view of race relations in this country and what's possible," he said. "There are going to be tensions that arise. But if you look at my daughters' generation, they have an attitude about race that's entirely different than even my generation." Talking about how he was feeling after his recent successes, he said "every president, every leader has strengths and weaknesses". "One of my strengths is I have a pretty even temperament. I don't get too high when it's high and I don't get too low when it's low," he said. "For us not to be able to resolve that issue has been something that is distressing," he added.

So what's a GreenPak?
-
-
GreenPak devices are kind of like itty bitty PSoCs - they have a mixed signal fabric with an ADC, DACs, comparators, voltage references, plus a digital LUT/FF fabric and some typical digital MCU peripherals like counters and oscillators (but no CPU).
-
It's actually an interesting architecture - FPGAs (including some devices marketed as CPLDs) are a 2D array of LUTs connected via wires to adjacent cells, and true (product term) CPLDs are a star topology of AND-OR arrays connected by a crossbar. GreenPak, on the other hand, is a star topology of LUTs, flipflops, and analog/digital hard IP connected to a crossbar.

The Vdd range of GreenPak4 is huge, more like what you'd expect from an MCU than an FPGA! It can run on anything from 1.8 to 5V, although performance is only specified at 1.8, 3.3, and 5V nominal voltages. There's also a dual-rail version that trades one of the GPIO pins for a second power supply pin, allowing you to interface to logic at two different voltage levels.
-
To support low-cost/space-constrained applications, they even have the configuration memory on die. It's one-time programmable and needs external Vpp to program (presumably Silego didn't want to waste die area on charge pumps that would only be used once) but has a SRAM programming mode for prototyping.
-
The best part is that the development software (GreenPak Designer) is free of charge and provided for all major operating systems including Linux! Unfortunately, the only supported design entry method is schematic entry and there's no way to write your design in a HDL.
-
While schematics may be fine for quick tinkering on really simple designs, they quickly get unwieldy. The nightmare of a circuit shown below is just a bunch of counters hooked up to LEDs that blink at various rates.

The icing on the cake is that schematics are a pain to diff and collaborate on. Although GreenPak schematics are XML based, which is a touch better than binary, who wants to read a giant XML diff and try to figure out what's going on in the circuit?

This isn't going to be a post on the quirks of Silego's software, though - that would be boring. As it turns out, there's one more exciting feature of these chips that I didn't mention earlier: the configuration bitstream is 100% documented in the device datasheet! This is unheard of in the programmable logic world. As Nick of Arachnid Labs says, the chip is "just dying for someone to write a VHDL or Verilog compiler for it". As you can probably guess by from the title of this post, I've been busy doing exactly that.

Great! How does it work?

The first step of the process is to run the "synth_greenpak4" Yosys flow on the Verilog source. This runs a generic RTL synthesis pass, then some coarse-grained extraction passes to infer shift register and counter cells from behavioral logic, and finally maps the remaining logic to LUT/FF cells and outputs a JSON-formatted netlist.
-
Once the design has been synthesized, my tool (named, surprisingly, gp4par) is then launched on the netlist. It begins by parsing the JSON and constructing a directed graph of cell objects in memory. A second graph, containing all of the primitives in the device and the legal connections between them, is then created based on the device specified on the command line. (As of now only the SLG46620V is supported; the SLG46621V can be added fairly easily but the SLG46140V has a slightly different microarchitecture which will require a bit more work to support.)
-
After the graphs are generated, each node in the netlist graph is assigned a numeric label identifying the type of cell and each node in the device graph is assigned a list of legal labels: for example, an I/O buffer site is legal for an input buffer, output buffer, or bidirectional buffer.

Finally, generate the bitstream from all of the per-cell configuration and write it to a file.
- Great, let's get started!

-
Download and install Yosys. Although Clifford is pretty good at merging my pull requests, only my fork on Github is guaranteed to have the most up-to-date support for GreenPak devices so don't be surprised if you can't use a bleeding-edge feature with mainline Yosys.
-
Download and install gp4par. You can get it from the Github repository.
-
Write your HDL, compile with Yosys, P&R with gp4par, and import the bitstream into GreenPak Designer to program the target device. The most current gp4par manual is included in LaTeX source form in the source tree and is automatically built as part of the compile process. If you're just browsing, there's a relatively recent PDF version on my web server.
-
If you'd like to see the Verilog that produced the nightmare of a schematic I showed above, here it is.
-
Be advised that this project is still very much a work in progress and there are still a number of SLG46620V features I don't support (see the manual for exact details).
- I love it / it segfaulted / there's a problem in the manual!
-
- You're competing with Silego's IDE. Have they found out and sued you yet?
-
-
After I reported a few bugs in their datasheets they decided to skip the middleman and give me direct access to the engineer who writes their documentation so that I can get faster responses. The last time I found a problem (two different parts of the datasheet contradicted each other) an updated datasheet was in my inbox and on their website by the next day. I only wish Xilinx gave me that kind of treatment!

They've even offered me free hardware to help me add support for their latest product family, although I plan to get GreenPak4 support to a more stable state before taking them up on the offer.

So what's next?
-
-
My contact at Silego says they're going to be giving me documentation on the SRAM emulation interface soon, so I'm going to make a hardware-in-loop test platform that connects to my desktop and the Silego ZIF socket, and lets me load new bitstreams via a scriptable interface. It'll have FPGA-based digital I/O as well as an ADC and DAC on every device pin, plus an adjustable voltage regulator for power, so I can feed in arbitrary mixed-signal test waveforms and write PC-based unit tests to verify correct behavior.
-
Other than that, I want to finish support for the SLG46620V in the next month or two. The SLG46621V will be an easy addition since only one pin and the relevant configuration bits have changed from the 46620 (I suspect they're the same die, just bonded out differently).
-
Once that's done I'll have to do some more extensive work to add the SLG46140V since the architecture is a bit different (a lot of the combinatorial logic is merged into multi-function blocks). Luckily, the 46140 has a lot in common architecturally with the GreenPak5 family, so once that's done GreenPak5 will probably be a lot easier to add support for.

My thanks go out to Clifford Wolf, whitequark, the IRC users in ##openfpga, and everyone at Silego I've worked with to help make this possible. I hope that one day this project will become mature enough that Silego will ship it as an officially supported extension to GreenPak Designer, making history by becoming the first modern programmable logic vendor to ship a fully open source synthesis and P&R suite.
+

My contact at Silego says they're going to be giving me documentation on the SRAM emulation interface soon, so I'm going to make a hardware-in-loop test platform that connects to my desktop and the Silego ZIF socket, and lets me load new bitstreams via a scriptable interface. It'll have FPGA-based digital I/O as well as an ADC and DAC on every device pin, plus an adjustable voltage regulator for power, so I can feed in arbitrary mixed-signal test waveforms and write PC-based unit tests to verify correct behavior.
+
Other than that, I want to finish support for the SLG46620V in the next month or two. The SLG46621V will be an easy addition since only one pin and the relevant configuration bits have changed from the 46620 (I suspect they're the same die, just bonded out differently).
+
Once that's done I'll have to do some more extensive work to add the SLG46140V since the architecture is a bit different (a lot of the combinatorial logic is merged into multi-function blocks). Luckily, the 46140 has a lot in common architecturally with the GreenPak5 family, so once that's done GreenPak5 will probably be a lot easier to add support for.

A single task on a lambda can be executed multiple times within the ATF system. Developers should ensure that their lambda logic and correctness of task execution in clients are not affected by this.
+ Resiliency
Worker processes which execute tasks might die at any point during task execution. ATF retries abruptly interrupted tasks, which could also be retried on different hosts. Lambda owners must design their lambdas such that retries on different hosts do not affect lambda correctness.
ATF retries tasks until they are signaled to be complete from the lambda logic. Client code can mark a task as successfully completed, fatally terminated, or retriable.

- At-least-once task execution
At-least-once execution is guaranteed in ATF by retrying a task until it completes execution (which is signaled by a Success or a FatalFailure state). All ATF system errors are implicitly considered retriable failures, and lambda owners have an option of marking tasks with a RetriableFailure state. Tasks might be dropped from the ATF execution pipeline in different parts of the system through transient RPC failures and failures on dependencies like Edgestore or SQS. These transient failures at different parts of the system do not affect the at-least-once guarantee, though, because of the system of timeouts and re-polling from Store Consumer.

- No concurrent task execution
Concurrent task execution is avoided through a combination of two methods in ATF. First, tasks are explicitly claimed through an exclusive task state (Claimed) before starting execution. Once the task execution is complete, the task status is updated to one of Success, FatalFailure or RetriableFailure. A task can be claimed only if its existing task state is Enqueued (retried tasks go to the Enqueued state as well once they are re-pushed onto SQS).

- However, there might be situations where once a long running task starts execution, its heartbeats might fail repeatedly yet the task execution continues. ATF would retry this task by polling it from the store consumer because the heartbeat timeouts would’ve expired. This task can then be claimed by another worker and lead to concurrent execution.

ATF would retry this task by polling it from the store consumer because the heartbeat timeouts would’ve expired. This task can then be claimed by another worker and lead to concurrent execution.
To avoid this situation, there is a termination logic in the Executor processes whereby an Executor process terminates itself as soon as three consecutive heartbeat calls fail. Each heartbeat timeout is large enough to eclipse three consecutive heartbeat failures. This ensures that the Store Consumer cannot pull such tasks before the termination logic ends them—the second method that helps achieve this guarantee.
- Isolation
Isolation of lambdas is achieved through dedicated worker clusters, dedicated queues, and dedicated per-lambda scheduling quotas. In addition, isolation across different priorities within the same lambda is likewise achieved through dedicated queues and scheduling bandwidth.

- Delivery latency
ATF use cases do not require ultra-low task delivery latencies. Task delivery latencies on the order of a couple of seconds are acceptable. Tasks ready for execution are periodically polled by the Store Consumer and this period of polling largely controls the task delivery latency. Using this as a tuning lever, ATF can achieve different delivery latencies as required. Increasing poll frequency reduces task delivery latency and vice versa. Currently, we have calibrated ATF to poll for ready tasks once every two seconds.

- Better support for task chaining
Currently, it is possible to chain tasks on ATF by scheduling a task onto ATF that then schedules other tasks onto ATF during its execution. Although it is possible to do this in the current ATF setup, visibility and control on this chaining is absent at the framework level. Another natural extension here would be to better support task chaining through framework-level visibility and control, to make this use case a first class concept in the ATF model.

- Dead letter queues for misbehaving tasks
One common source of maintenance overhead we observe on ATF is that some tasks get stuck in infinite retry loops due to occasional bugs in lambda logic. This requires manual intervention from the ATF framework owners in some cases where there are a large number of tasks stuck in such loops, occupying a lot of the scheduling bandwidth in the system. Typical manual actions in response to such a situation include pausing execution of the lambdas with misbehaving tasks, or dropping them outright.

- One way to reduce this operational overhead and provide an easy interface for lambda owners to recover from such incidents would be to create dead letter queues filled with such misbehaving tasks. The ATF framework could impose a maximum number of retries before tasks are pushed onto the dead letter queue. We could create and expose tools that make it easy to reschedule tasks from the dead letter queue back into the ATF system, once the associated lambda bugs are fixed.

Thankfully, there are plenty of creative ways to trim a little grad party fat without sacrificing any of the fun or celebratory spirit.
+
Parties hosted at restaurants, clubhouses and country clubs eliminate the need to spend hours cleaning up once party guests have gone home. But that convenience comes with a price tag. A country club may charge as much as $2,000 for room rental and restaurant food and beverage will almost always cost more than food prepped and served at home.
+
Instead of hiring a DJ, use your iPod or Smartphone to spin the tunes. Both easily hook up to most speakers or mp3 compatible docks to play music from your music library. Or download Pandora, the free online radio app, and play hours of music for free. Personalize the music with a playlist of the grad’s favorite songs or songs that were big hits during his or her years in school.
+
Avoid canned drinks, which guests often open, but don't finish. Serve pitchers of tap water with lemon and cucumber slices or sliced strawberries for an interesting and refreshing flavor. Opt for punches and non-alcoholic drinks for high school graduates that allow guests to dole out the exact amount they want to drink.
+
Instead of inviting everyone you – and the graduate – know or ever knew, scale back the guest list. Forgo inviting guests that you or your grad haven't seen for eons. There is no reason to provide provisions for people who are essentially out of your lives. Sticking to a small, but personal, guest list allows more time to mingle with loved ones during the party, too.
+
See if your grad and his best friend, girlfriend or close family member would consider hosting a joint party. You can split some of the expenses, especially when the two graduates share mutual friends. You'll also have another parent to bounce ideas off of and to help you stick to your budget when you're tempted to splurge.
+
Skip carving stations of prime rib and jumbo shrimp as appetizers, especially for high school graduation parties. Instead, serve some of the graduate's favorite side dishes that are cost effective, like a big pot of spaghetti with breadsticks. Opt for easy and simple food such as pizza, finger food and mini appetizers. Avoid pre-packaged foods and pre-made deli platters. These can be quite costly. Instead, make your own cheese and deli platters for less than half the cost of pre-made.
+
Instead of an evening dinner party, host a grad lunch or all appetizers party. Brunch and lunch fare or finger food costs less than dinner. Guests also tend to consume less alcohol in the middle of the day, which keeps cost down.
+
Decorate your party in the graduate's current school colors or the colors of the school he or she will be headed to next. Décor that is not specifically graduation-themed may cost a bit less, and any leftovers can be re-used for future parties, picnics and events.

然后是责任的问题。我们不允许汽车司机或飞机飞行员喝醉后驾驶，所以并不奇怪同样的规则适用于国际空间站上的宇航员。毕竟国际空间站的造价高达1500亿美元，而且在接近真空的太空中其运行速度达到了每小时27680公里。
然而，2007年，美国宇航局(NASA)成立了一个负责调查宇航员健康状况的独立小组，称历史上该机构至少有两名宇航员在即将飞行前喝了大量的酒，但仍然被允许飞行。Nasa安全负责人随后的审查发现并没有证据支持这一指控。宇航员在飞行前12小时是严禁饮酒的，因为他们需要充分的思维能力和清醒的意识。

相比之下，执行登陆火星任务的人将远离家乡几年，而不是几个月，因此可能会有人提出有关禁止饮酒的规定可以放松一些。
然而，像戴夫?汉森这样的专家认为，继续禁止饮酒并没有什么害处。除了实际的安全问题，饮酒还可能有其它挑战。汉森认为，地球人存在许多社会文化方面的差异，而且人连续几年时间呆在一个狭小的空间里，很容易突然发怒，这些因素都使饮酒问题变得很棘手。

他说：“这是一个政治问题，也是一个文化方面的问题，但不是一个科学上的问题。这将是未来一个可能产生冲突领域，因为人们具有不同的文化背景，他们对饮酒的态度不同。”他进一步指出，如果你与穆斯林、摩门教徒或禁酒主义者分配在同一间宿舍怎么办？面对未来人们可能在一个没有期限的时间内呆在一个有限的空间里，需要“尽早解决”如何协调不同文化观点的问题。

A new Bill would require telecommunications service providers to store so-called ‘metadata’ for two years. @@ -11,27 +11,11 @@
A HIGH-powered federal government team has been doing the rounds of media organisations in the past few days in an attempt to allay concerns about the impact of new surveillance legislation on press freedom. It failed.
-The roadshow featured the Prime Minister’s national security adviser, Andrew Shearer, Justin Bassi, who advises Attorney-General George Brandis on crime and security matters, and Australian Federal Police Commissioner Andrew Colvin. Staffers from the office of Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull also took part.
-They held meetings with executives from News Corporation and Fairfax, representatives of the TV networks, the ABC top brass and a group from the media union and the Walkley journalism foundation. I was involved as a member of the Walkley board.
-The initiative, from Tony Abbott’s office, is evidence that the Government has been alarmed by the strength of criticism from media of the Data Retention Bill it wants passed before Parliament rises in a fortnight. Bosses, journalists, even the Press Council, are up in arms, not only over this measure, but also over aspects of two earlier pieces of national security legislation that interfere with the ability of the media to hold government to account.

The initiative, from Tony Abbott’s office, is evidence that the Government has been alarmed by the strength of criticism from media of the Data Retention Bill it wants passed before Parliament rises in a fortnight. Bosses, journalists, even the Press Council, are up in arms, not only over this measure, but also over aspects of two earlier pieces of national security legislation that interfere with the ability of the media to hold government to account.
The Bill would require telecommunications service providers to store so-called “metadata” — the who, where, when and how of a communication, but not its content — for two years so security and law enforcement agencies can access it without warrant. Few would argue against the use of such material to catch criminals or terrorists. But, as Parliament’s Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security has pointed out, it would also be used “for the purpose of determining the identity of a journalist’s sources”.
-And that should ring warning bells for anyone genuinely concerned with the health of our democracy. Without the ability to protect the identity of sources, journalists would be greatly handicapped in exposing corruption, dishonesty, waste, incompetence and misbehaviour by public officials.
-The Press Council is concerned the laws would crush investigative journalism.
-“These legitimate concerns cannot be addressed effectively short of exempting journalists and media organisations,” says president David Weisbrot.
-The media union is adamant journalists’ metadata must be exempted from the law. That’s what media bosses want, too, though they have a fallback position based on new safeguards being implemented in Britain.
-That would prevent access to the metadata of journalists or media organisations without a judicial warrant. There would be a code including — according to the explanatory notes of the British Bill — “provision to protect the public interest in the confidentiality of journalistic sources”.
-In their meetings this week, the government team boasted of concessions in the new Data Retention Bill. The number of agencies able to access metadata will be reduced by excluding such organisations as the RSPCA and local councils. And whenever an authorisation is issued for access to information about a journalist’s sources, the Ombudsman (or, where ASIO is involved, the Inspector-General of Intelligence and Security) will receive a copy.
-That does nothing to solve the problem. The Government has effectively admitted as much by agreeing that the parliamentary committee should conduct a separate review of how to deal with the issue of journalists’ sources.
-But another inquiry would be a waste of time — the committee has already received and considered dozens of submissions on the subject. The bottom line is that the Government does not deny that the legislation is flawed, but is demanding it be passed anyway with the possibility left open of a repair job down the track. That is a ridiculous approach.
-Claims that immediate action is imperative do not stand up. These are measures that won’t come into full effect for two years. Anyway, amending the Bill to either exempt journalists or adopt the UK model could be done quickly, without any risk to national security.
-AS Opposition Leader Bill Shorten said in a letter to Abbott last month: “Press freedom concerns about mandatory data retention would ideally be addressed in this Bill to avoid the need for future additional amendments or procedures to be put in place in the future.”
-The Data Retention Bill will be debated in the House of Representatives this week. Then, on Friday, CEOs from leading media organisations will front the parliamentary committee to air their concerns before the legislation goes to the Senate.
-Those CEOs should make it clear they are just as angry about this as they were about Stephen Conroy’s attempt to impinge on press freedom through media regulation under the previous Labor government.
-Memories of the grief Conroy brought down on his head would undoubtedly make Abbott sit up and take notice.

Through our pursuit of further automation and maximization of margins during the industrial age of media technology, we built advertising technology to optimize publishers’ yield of marketing budgets that had eroded after the last recession. Looking back now, our scraping of dimes may have cost us dollars in consumer loyalty. The fast, scalable systems of targeting users with ever-heftier advertisements have slowed down the public internet and drained more than a few batteries. We were so clever and so good at it that we over-engineered the capabilities of the plumbing laid down by, well, ourselves. This steamrolled the users, depleted their devices, and tried their patience.
The rise of ad blocking poses a threat to the internet and could potentially drive users to an enclosed platform world dominated by a few companies. We have let the fine equilibrium of content, commerce, and technology get out of balance in the open web. We had, and still do have, a responsibility to educate the business side, and in some cases to push back. We lost sight of our social and ethical responsibility to provide a safe, usable experience for anyone and everyone wanting to consume the content of their choice.
We need to bring that back into alignment, starting right now.

As with any other industry, standards should be created by non-profit standards-setting bodies, with many diverse voices providing input. We will invite all parties for public comment, and make sure consumer interest groups have the opportunity to provide input.
L.E.A.N. Ads do not replace the current advertising standards many consumers still enjoy and engage with while consuming content on our sites across all IP enabled devices. Rather, these principles will guide an alternative set of standards that provide choice for marketers, content providers, and consumers.
Among the many areas of concentration, we must also address frequency capping on retargeting in Ad Tech and make sure a user is targeted appropriately before, but never AFTER they make a purchase. If we are so good at reach and scale, we can be just as good, if not better, at moderation. Additionally, we must address volume of ads per page as well as continue on the path to viewability. The dependencies here are critical to an optimized user experience.

The reason is, that there was a big motivation to do the integration with the new quickbar (final version introduced in FFF-278) in time for 0.17.0, while the other changes can be done after. The thing with the quickbar is, that it is quite a big change to one of the most used tools in the game and people generally don't like change even when it is for the better. To minimize the hate of the change, we need to "sell it properly". By that, we should provide as many of the positive aspects of the new quickbar at the time of its introduction.

Samus lost Ridley in the planet’s stormy atmosphere, and elected to land in a nearby jungle to conceal her presence from the Pirate ground forces. Exploring the surroundings, Samus discovered that the planet was once home to the bulk of the extinct Chozo civilisation. In a great temple Samus studied poetic murals that told of the Phazon comet that had struck their world. The scribblings informed her of a creature trapped deep in the comet that they referred to as “The Worm,” and of the powerful shield they erected to prevent its escape. Samus read their last prophecy; that a hero would traverse fire and ice, jungle and cave, and find twelve sacred keys that would deactivate the barrier and allow passage to the Impact Crater.

Ce dispositif – autorisé par le premier ministre par tranche de quatre mois – permettrait de détecter, en temps réel ou quasi réel, les personnes ayant une activité en ligne typique de « schémas » utilisés par les terroristes pour transmettre des informations.
En pratique, les services de renseignement pourraient installer chez les FAI une « boîte noire » surveillant le trafic. Le contenu des communications – qui resterait « anonyme » – ne serait pas surveillé, mais uniquement les métadonnées : origine ou destinataire d’un message, adresse IP d’un site visité, durée de la conversation ou de la connexion… Ces données ne seraient pas conservées.

Le dispositif introduit une forme de « pêche au chalut » – un brassage très large des données des Français à la recherche de quelques individus. Le gouvernement se défend de toute similarité avec les dispositifs mis en place par la NSA américaine, arguant notamment que les données ne seront pas conservées et que cette activité sera contrôlée par une toute nouvelle commission aux moyens largement renforcés. Il s’agit cependant d’un dispositif très large, puisqu’il concernera tous les fournisseurs d’accès à Internet, et donc tous les internautes français.
La durée de conservation des données collectées – et l’adaptation de cette durée à la technique employée – a par ailleurs été inscrite dans la loi, contrairement au projet initial du gouvernement qui entendait fixer ces limites par décret. Elle pourra aller jusqu’à cinq ans dans le cas des données de connexion.
La loi prévoit également une forme de protection pour les agents qui seraient témoins de surveillance illégale. Ces lanceurs d’alerte pourraient solliciter la CNCTR, voire le premier ministre, et leur fournir toutes les pièces utiles. La CNCTR pourra ensuite aviser le procureur de la République et solliciter la Commission consultative du secret de la défense nationale afin que cette dernière « donne au premier ministre son avis sur la possibilité de déclassifier tout ou partie de ces éléments ». Aucune mesure de rétorsion ne pourra viser l’agent qui aurait dénoncé des actes potentiellement illégaux.

QGIS is a free-software geographic information system (GIS) tool; it provides a unified interface in which users can import, edit, and analyze geographic-oriented information, and it can produce output as varied as printable maps or map-based web services. The project recently made its first update to be designated a long-term release (LTR), and that release is both poised for high-end usage and friendly to newcomers alike.
The new release is version 2.8, which was unveiled on March 2. An official change log is available on the QGIS site, while the release itself was announced primarily through blog posts (such as this post by Anita Graser of the project's steering committee). Downloads are available for a variety of platforms, including packages for Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, and several other distributions.
- ![[QGIS main interface]](http://fakehost/images/2015/03-qgis-map-sm.png)
As the name might suggest, QGIS is a Qt application; the latest release will, in fact, build on both Qt4 and Qt5, although the binaries released by the project come only in Qt4 form at present. 2.8 has been labeled a long-term release (LTR)—which, in this case, means that the project has committed to providing backported bug fixes for one full calendar year, and that the 2.8.x series is in permanent feature freeze. The goal, according to the change log, is to provide a stable version suitable for businesses and deployments in other large organizations. The change log itself points out that the development of quite a few new features was underwritten by various GIS companies or university groups, which suggests that taking care of these organizations' needs is reaping dividends for the project.

The change log itself points out that the development of quite a few new features was underwritten by various GIS companies or university groups, which suggests that taking care of these organizations' needs is reaping dividends for the project.
For those new to QGIS (or GIS in general), there is a detailed new-user tutorial that provides a thorough walk-through of the data-manipulation, mapping, and analysis functions. Being a new user, I went through the tutorial; although there are a handful of minor differences between QGIS 2.8 and the version used in the text (primarily whether specific features were accessed through a toolbar or right-click menu), on the whole it is well worth the time.
QGIS is designed to make short work of importing spatially oriented data sets, mining information from them, and turning the results into a meaningful visualization. Technically speaking, the visualization output is optional: one could simply extract the needed statistics and results and use them to answer some question or, perhaps, publish the massaged data set as a database for others to use.
But well-made maps are often the easiest way to illuminate facts about populations, political regions, geography, and many other topics when human comprehension is the goal. QGIS makes importing data from databases, web-mapping services (WMS), and even unwieldy flat-file data dumps a painless experience. It handles converting between a variety of map-referencing systems more or less automatically, and allows the user to focus on finding the useful attributes of the data sets and rendering them on screen.
The significant changes in QGIS 2.8 fall into several categories. There are updates to how QGIS handles the mathematical expressions and queries users can use to filter information out of a data set, improvements to the tools used to explore the on-screen map canvas, and enhancements to the "map composer" used to produce visual output. This is on top of plenty of other under-the-hood improvements, naturally.
- ![[QGIS query builder]](http://fakehost/images/2015/03-qgis-query-sm.png)
In the first category are several updates to the filtering tools used to mine a data set. Generally speaking, each independent data set is added to a QGIS project as its own layer, then transformed with filters to focus in on a specific portion of the original data. For instance, the land-usage statistics for a region might be one layer, while roads and buildings for the same region from OpenStreetMap might be two additional layers. Such filters can be created in several ways: there is a "query builder" that lets the user construct and test expressions on a data layer, then save the results, an SQL console for performing similar queries on a database, and spreadsheet-like editing tools for working directly on data tables.

Such filters can be created in several ways: there is a "query builder" that lets the user construct and test expressions on a data layer, then save the results, an SQL console for performing similar queries on a database, and spreadsheet-like editing tools for working directly on data tables.
All three have been improved in this release. New are support for if(condition, true, false) conditional statements, a set of operations for geometry primitives (e.g., to test whether regions overlap or lines intersect), and an "integer divide" operation. Users can also add comments to their queries to annotate their code, and there is a new custom function editor for writing Python functions that can be called in mathematical expressions within the query builder.
It is also now possible to select only some rows in a table, then perform calculations just on the selection—previously, users would have to extract the rows of interest into a new table first. Similarly, in the SQL editor, the user can highlight a subset of the SQL query and execute it separately, which is no doubt helpful for debugging.
There have also been several improvements to the Python and Processing plugins. Users can now drag-and-drop Python scripts onto QGIS and they will be run automatically. Several new analysis algorithms are now available through the Processing interface that were previously Python-only; they include algorithms for generating grids of points or vectors within a region, splitting layers and lines, generating hypsometric curves, refactoring data sets, and more.
![[QGIS simplify tool]](http://fakehost/images/2015/03-qgis-simplify-sm.png)
The process of working with on-screen map data picked up some improvements in the new release as well. Perhaps the most fundamental is that each map layer added to the canvas is now handled in its own thread, so fewer hangs in the user interface are experienced when re-rendering a layer (as happens whenever the user changes the look of points or shapes in a layer). Since remote databases can also be layers, this multi-threaded approach is more resilient against connectivity problems, too. The interface also now supports temporary "scratch" layers that can be used to merge, filter, or simply experiment with a data set, but are not saved when the current project is saved.

The interface also now supports temporary "scratch" layers that can be used to merge, filter, or simply experiment with a data set, but are not saved when the current project is saved.
For working on the canvas itself, polygonal regions can now use raster images (tiled, if necessary) as fill colors, the map itself can be rotated arbitrarily, and objects can be "snapped" to align with items on any layer (not just the current layer). For working with raster image layers (e.g., aerial photographs) or simply creating new geometric shapes by hand, there is a new digitizing tool that can offer assistance by locking lines to specific angles, automatically keeping borders parallel, and other niceties.
There is a completely overhauled "simplify" tool that is used to reduce the number of extraneous vertices of a vector layer (thus reducing its size). The old simplify tool provided only a relative "tolerance" setting that did not correspond directly to any units. With the new tool, users can set a simplification threshold in terms of the underlying map units, layer-specific units, pixels, and more—and, in addition, the tool reports how much the simplify operation has reduced the size of the data.
- ![[QGIS style editing]](http://fakehost/images/2015/03-qgis-style-sm.png)
There has also been an effort to present a uniform interface to one of the most important features of the map canvas: the ability to change the symbology used for an item based on some data attribute. The simplest example might be to change the line color of a road based on whether its road-type attribute is "highway," "service road," "residential," or so on. But the same feature is used to automatically highlight layer information based on the filtering and querying functionality discussed above. The new release allows many more map attributes to be controlled by these "data definition" settings, and provides a hard-to-miss button next to each attribute, through which a custom data definition can be set.

QGIS's composer module is the tool used to take project data and generate a map that can be used outside of the application (in print, as a static image, or as a layer for MapServer or some other software tool, for example). Consequently, it is not a simple select-and-click-export tool; composing the output can involve a lot of choices about which data to make visible, how (and where) to label it, and how to make it generally accessible.
The updated composer in 2.8 now has a full-screen mode and sports several new options for configuring output. For instance, the user now has full control over how map axes are labeled. In previous releases, the grid coordinates of the map could be turned on or off, but the only options were all or nothing. Now, the user can individually choose whether coordinates are displayed on all four sides, and can even choose in which direction vertical text labels will run (so that they can be correctly justified to the edge of the map, for example).
There are, as usual, many more changes than there is room to discuss. Some particularly noteworthy improvements include the ability to save and load bookmarks for frequently used data sources (perhaps most useful for databases, web services, and other non-local data) and improvements to QGIS's server module. This module allows one QGIS instance to serve up data accessible to other QGIS applications (for example, to simply team projects). The server can now be extended with Python plugins and the data layers that it serves can be styled with style rules like those used in the desktop interface.

The LibreOffice project was announced with great fanfare in September 2010. Nearly one year later, the OpenOffice.org project (from which LibreOffice was forked) was cut loose from Oracle and found a new home as an Apache project. It is fair to say that the rivalry between the two projects in the time since then has been strong. Predictions that one project or the other would fail have not been borne out, but that does not mean that the two projects are equally successful. A look at the two projects' development communities reveals some interesting differences.

- A new study investigates when the 'a-ha!' moment takes place in the brain, and how similar it is to other brain processes.
-
- Many of us have noticed that we seem to get our best ideas when we're in the shower, or that we can find the answer to a difficult question when we least think about it. -
-- A large body of neuroscientific studies has pointed out that the brain does a lot of work in its spare time, the so-called idle state - wherein the brain does not appear to be thinking about anything at all - and that this is the time when it works at its hardest to find solutions to complex problems. -
-- With time and advances in neuroscience, it has become more and more clear to researchers that Freud was right and the mind, as well as the brain, do work unconsciously. In fact, it would be safe to say that what is consciously known to us is just the tip of a much larger iceberg, deeply submerged in unconscious waters. -
-- But the exact moment at which information becomes known to us - or when the "tip of the iceberg" pierces through the water, and the unconscious becomes conscious - has been somewhat of a mystery, from a neuroscientific point of view. -
-- In other words, we do not yet know when that intellectually satisfying "a-ha!" moment takes place, or what the biology is behind it. This is why a team of researchers at Columbia University in New York City, NY, set out to investigate this moment in more detail. -
- -- The scientists were led by Michael Shadlen, Ph.D., of Columbia University's Mortimer B. Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute, and the findings were published in the journal Current Biology. -
- -- Dr. Shadlen and colleagues started out from an interesting hypothesis, one which they derived from previous research on the neurobiological processes involved in decision-making. -
-- As the authors explain, research conducted in both monkeys and humans shows that many of our decisions take place at a point when the brain "feels" as though it has gathered enough information, or when a critical level of information has been accumulated. -
- -- This process of making a decision once the brain has accumulated enough evidence bears the name of "bounded evidence accumulation." Reaching this threshold is important because, although the brain does not use all of the information available, it uses as much as is necessary to make a speedy yet accurate decision. -
-- The researchers wondered whether or not this threshold is also responsible for our "eureka!" moments. -
- -- In Dr. Shadlen's words, "Could the moment when the brain believes it has accumulated enough evidence be tied to the person's awareness of having decided - that important 'a-ha!' moment?" -
- -- To answer this question, the scientists asked five people to perform a "direction discrimination" task. In it, the participants looked at dots on a computer screen. The dots moved randomly, as grains of sand would when blown by the wind. The participants were asked to say in which direction the dots had moved. -
-- The moment they "decided" which direction the dots seemed to be taking was considered to be the equivalent of the "a-ha!" moment. -
-- In the center of the screen, there was a fixed point and a clock. The display also had two "choice targets" - namely, left or right - and these were the directions in which the participants had to decide that the dots had moved. -
-- Shortly after the dots had stopped moving, the participants used an electronic, hand-held stylus to move the cursor in the direction that they thought the dots had moved. -
-- To determine when the decision was made, the researchers used the technique called "mental chronometry" - that is, after they made their decision, the participants were asked to move the clock backward to the point when they felt that they had consciously done so. -
- -- "The moment in time indicated by the participants - this mental chronometry - was entirely subjective; it relied solely on their own estimation of how long it took them to make that decision," Dr. Shadlen says. "And because it was purely subjective, in principle it ought to be unverifiable." -
- -- However, by applying a mathematical model, the scientists were able to match these subjective decision times to the bounded evidence accumulation process. -
-- The subjective decision times fit so well with what the scientists determined as the evidence accumulation threshold that they were able to predict the choices of four of the five participants. -
-- "If the time reported to us by the participants was valid, we reasoned that it might be possible to predict the accuracy of the decision," explains Dr. Shadlen. -
-- "We incorporated a kind of mathematical trick, based on earlier studies, which showed that the speed and accuracy of decisions were tied together by the same brain function." This "mathematical trick" was the evidence accumulation model. -
---- "Essentially, the act of becoming consciously aware of a decision conforms to the same process that the brain goes through to complete a decision, even a simple one - such as whether to turn left or right." -
-- Michael Shadlen, Ph.D. -
-
- In other words, the study shows that the conscious awareness of the "a-ha!" moment takes place precisely when the brain has reached that threshold of evidence accumulation. -
-- The findings provide unique insights into the biology of consciousness, say the researchers, and they bring us closer to understanding the biological basis of decisions, ethics, and, generally, the human mind. -

++ But the exact moment at which information becomes known to us - or when the "tip of the iceberg" pierces through the water, and the unconscious becomes conscious - has been somewhat of a mystery, from a neuroscientific point of view. +
++ In other words, we do not yet know when that intellectually satisfying "a-ha!" moment takes place, or what the biology is behind it. This is why a team of researchers at Columbia University in New York City, NY, set out to investigate this moment in more detail. +
+ ++ The scientists were led by Michael Shadlen, Ph.D., of Columbia University's Mortimer B. Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute, and the findings were published in the journal Current Biology. +
+ ++ Dr. Shadlen and colleagues started out from an interesting hypothesis, one which they derived from previous research on the neurobiological processes involved in decision-making. +
++ As the authors explain, research conducted in both monkeys and humans shows that many of our decisions take place at a point when the brain "feels" as though it has gathered enough information, or when a critical level of information has been accumulated. +
+ ++ This process of making a decision once the brain has accumulated enough evidence bears the name of "bounded evidence accumulation." Reaching this threshold is important because, although the brain does not use all of the information available, it uses as much as is necessary to make a speedy yet accurate decision. +
++ The researchers wondered whether or not this threshold is also responsible for our "eureka!" moments. +
+ ++ In Dr. Shadlen's words, "Could the moment when the brain believes it has accumulated enough evidence be tied to the person's awareness of having decided - that important 'a-ha!' moment?" +
+ ++ To answer this question, the scientists asked five people to perform a "direction discrimination" task. In it, the participants looked at dots on a computer screen. The dots moved randomly, as grains of sand would when blown by the wind. The participants were asked to say in which direction the dots had moved. +
++ The moment they "decided" which direction the dots seemed to be taking was considered to be the equivalent of the "a-ha!" moment. +
++ In the center of the screen, there was a fixed point and a clock. The display also had two "choice targets" - namely, left or right - and these were the directions in which the participants had to decide that the dots had moved. +
++ Shortly after the dots had stopped moving, the participants used an electronic, hand-held stylus to move the cursor in the direction that they thought the dots had moved. +
++ To determine when the decision was made, the researchers used the technique called "mental chronometry" - that is, after they made their decision, the participants were asked to move the clock backward to the point when they felt that they had consciously done so. +
+ ++ "The moment in time indicated by the participants - this mental chronometry - was entirely subjective; it relied solely on their own estimation of how long it took them to make that decision," Dr. Shadlen says. "And because it was purely subjective, in principle it ought to be unverifiable." +
+ ++ However, by applying a mathematical model, the scientists were able to match these subjective decision times to the bounded evidence accumulation process. +
++ The subjective decision times fit so well with what the scientists determined as the evidence accumulation threshold that they were able to predict the choices of four of the five participants. +
++ "If the time reported to us by the participants was valid, we reasoned that it might be possible to predict the accuracy of the decision," explains Dr. Shadlen. +
++ "We incorporated a kind of mathematical trick, based on earlier studies, which showed that the speed and accuracy of decisions were tied together by the same brain function." This "mathematical trick" was the evidence accumulation model. +
++++ "Essentially, the act of becoming consciously aware of a decision conforms to the same process that the brain goes through to complete a decision, even a simple one - such as whether to turn left or right." +
++ Michael Shadlen, Ph.D. +
+
+ In other words, the study shows that the conscious awareness of the "a-ha!" moment takes place precisely when the brain has reached that threshold of evidence accumulation. +
++ The findings provide unique insights into the biology of consciousness, say the researchers, and they bring us closer to understanding the biological basis of decisions, ethics, and, generally, the human mind. +

- The name and basic idea might sound like one of those endless score attack games like "Temple Run," but that's not the case. "Super Mario Run" is divided into hand-crafted levels with a clear end-point like any other Mario game, meaning you're essentially getting the Mario experience for $10 without needing to control his movement. $10 might seem like a bit much compared to the $0 people pay for most mobile games, but it's possible the game has $10 worth of levels to play in it. It's also not iPhone exclusive, but the Android version will launch at a later, currently unknown date.

First, let’s say what the Yahoo sale is not. It is not a sale of the publicly traded company. Instead, it is a sale of the Yahoo subsidiary and some related assets to Verizon.
The sale is being done in two steps. The first step will be the transfer of any assets related to Yahoo business to a singular subsidiary. This includes the stock in the business subsidiaries that make up Yahoo that are not already in the single subsidiary, as well as the odd assets like benefit plan rights. This is what is being sold to Verizon. A license of Yahoo’s oldest patents is being held back in the so-called Excalibur portfolio. This will stay with Yahoo, as will Yahoo’s stakes in Alibaba Group and Yahoo Japan.
It is hard to overestimate how complex an asset sale like this is. Some of the assets are self-contained, but they must be gathered up and transferred. Employees need to be shuffled around and compensation arrangements redone. Many contracts, like the now-infamous one struck with the search engine Mozilla, which may result in a payment of up to a $1 billion, will contain change-of-control provisions that will be set off and have to be addressed. Tax issues always loom large.
Continue reading the main story -
- +Whether this is the most tax-efficient way is unclear to me as a nontax lawyer (email me if you know). Yahoo is likely to have a tax bill on the sale, possibly a substantial one. And I presume there were legal reasons for not using a Morris Trust structure, in which Yahoo would have been spun off and immediately sold to Verizon so that only Yahoo’s shareholders paid tax on the deal. In truth, the Yahoo assets being sold are only about 10 percent of the value of the company, so the time and logistics for such a sale when Yahoo is a melting ice cube may not have been worth it.
Finally, if another bidder still wants to acquire Yahoo, it has time. The agreement with Verizon allows Yahoo to terminate the deal and accept a superior offer by paying a $144 million breakup fee to Verizon. And if Yahoo shareholders change their minds and want to stick with Yahoo’s chief executive, Marissa Mayer, and vote down the deal, there is a so-called naked no-vote termination fee of $15 million payable to Verizon to reimburse expenses.
All in all, this was as hairy a deal as they come. There was the procedural and logistical complications of selling a company when the chief executive wanted to stay. Then there was the fact that this was an asset sale, including all of the challenges that go with it. Throw in all of the tax issues and the fact that this is a public company, and it is likely that the lawyers involved will have nightmares for years to come.

A little over half a century ago, chaos started spilling out of a famous experiment. It came not from a petri dish, a beaker or an astronomical observatory, but from the vacuum tubes and diodes of a Royal McBee LGP-30. This “desk” computer — it was the size of a desk — weighed some 800 pounds and sounded like a passing propeller plane. It was so loud that it even got its own office on the fifth floor in Building 24, a drab structure near the center of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Instructions for the computer came from down the hall, from the office of a meteorologist named Edward Norton Lorenz.

She recalls being out at a party at three or four a.m., realizing that the LGP-30 wasn’t set to produce results by the next morning, and rushing over with a few friends to start it up. Another time, frustrated by all the things that had to be done to make another run after fixing an error, she devised a way to bypass the computer’s clunky debugging process. To Lorenz’s delight, Hamilton would take the paper tape that fed the machine, roll it out the length of the hallway, and edit the binary code with a sharp pencil. “I’d poke holes for ones, and I’d cover up with Scotch tape the others,” she said. “He just got a kick out of it.”
-There were desks in the computer room, but because of the noise, Lorenz, his secretary, his programmer and his graduate students all shared the other office.

(In 1972, the seagull was deposed when a conference organizer, unable to check back about what Lorenz wanted to call an upcoming talk, wrote his own title that switched the metaphor to a butterfly.)
-Many accounts, including the one in Gleick’s book, date the discovery of this butterfly effect to 1961, with the paper following in 1963. But in November 1960, Lorenz described it during the Q&A session following a talk he gave at a conference on numerical weather prediction in Tokyo.

Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe, his wife Grace and two key figures from her G40 political faction are under house arrest at Mugabe's "Blue House" compound in Harare and are insisting the 93 year-old finishes his presidential term, a source said.
The G40 figures are cabinet ministers Jonathan Moyo and Saviour Kasukuwere, who fled to the compound after their homes were attacked by troops in Tuesday night's coup, the source, who said he had spoken to people inside the compound, told Reuters.
Mr Mugabe is resisting mediation by a Catholic priest to allow the former guerrilla a graceful exit after the military takeover.
The priest, Fidelis Mukonori, is acting as a middle-man between Mr Mugabe and the generals, who seized power in a targeted operation against "criminals" in his entourage, a senior political source told Reuters.
The source could not provide details of the talks, which appear to be aimed at a smooth and bloodless transition after the departure of Mr Mugabe, who has led Zimbabwe since independence in 1980.
Mr Mugabe, still seen by many Africans as a liberation hero, is reviled in the West as a despot whose disastrous handling of the economy and willingness to resort to violence to maintain power destroyed one of Africa's most promising states.
-Zimbabwean intelligence reports seen by Reuters suggest that former security chief Emmerson Mnangagwa, who was ousted as vice-president this month, has been mapping out a post-Mugabe vision with the military and opposition for more than a year.
-Fuelling speculation that Mnangagwa's plan might be rolling into action, opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai, who has been receiving cancer treatment in Britain and South Africa, returned to Harare late on Wednesday, his spokesman said.
South Africa said Mr Mugabe had told President Jacob Zuma by telephone on Wednesday that he was confined to his home but was otherwise fine and the military said it was keeping him and his family, including wife Grace, safe.
-Despite the lingering admiration for Mr Mugabe, there is little public affection for 52-year-old Grace, a former government typist who started having an affair with Mr Mugabe in the early 1990s as his first wife, Sally, was dying of kidney disease.
Dubbed "DisGrace" or "Gucci Grace" on account of her reputed love of shopping, she enjoyed a meteoric rise through the ranks of Mugabe's ruling Zanu-PF in the last two years, culminating in Mnangagwa's removal a week ago - a move seen as clearing the way for her to succeed her husband.
-In contrast to the high political drama unfolding behind closed doors, the streets of the capital remained calm, with people going about their daily business, albeit under the watch of soldiers on armoured vehicles at strategic locations.
-Whatever the final outcome, the events could signal a once-in-a-generation change for the former British colony, a regional breadbasket reduced to destitution by economic policies Mr Mugabe's critics have long blamed on him.

First, let's see what you can do with this new feature! Similar to this post let's start with a "hello world" type program that exports a single function that adds two numbers:
-// add.c
#include <emscripten.h>
EMSCRIPTEN_KEEPALIVE
int add(int x, int y) {
return x + y;
}// add.c
#include <emscripten.h>
EMSCRIPTEN_KEEPALIVE
int add(int x, int y) {
return x + y;
}
We'd normally build this with something like emcc -O3 add.c -o add.js which would emit add.js and add.wasm. Instead, let's ask emcc to only emit Wasm:
Disassembling it, it's very minimal - just 87 bytes! It contains the obvious add function
(func $add (param $0 i32) (param $1 i32) (result i32)
(i32.add
(local.get $0)
(local.get $1)
)
)(func $add (param $0 i32) (param $1 i32) (result i32)
(i32.add
(local.get $0)
(local.get $1)
)
)
and one more function, _start,
(func $_start
(nop)
)(func $_start
(nop)
)
_start is part of the WASI spec, and Emscripten's standalone mode emits it so that we can run in WASI runtimes. (Normally _start would do global initialization, but here we just don't need any so it's empty.)
One nice thing about a standalone Wasm file like this is that you can write custom JavaScript to load and run it, which can be very minimal depending on your use case. For example, we can do this in Node.js:
-// load-add.js
const binary = require('fs').readFileSync('add.wasm');
WebAssembly.instantiate(binary).then(({ instance }) => {
console.log(instance.exports.add(40, 2));
});// load-add.js
const binary = require('fs').readFileSync('add.wasm');
WebAssembly.instantiate(binary).then(({ instance }) => {
console.log(instance.exports.add(40, 2));
});
Just 4 lines! Running that prints 42 as expected. Note that while this example is very simplistic, there are cases where you simply don't need much JavaScript, and may be able to do better than Emscripten's default JavaScript runtime (which supports a bunch of environments and options). A real-world example of that is in zeux's meshoptimizer - just 57 lines, including memory management, growth, etc.!
Another nice thing about standalone Wasm files is that you can run them in Wasm runtimes like wasmer, wasmtime, or WAVM. For example, consider this hello world:
-// hello.cpp
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
printf("hello, world!\n");
return 0;
}// hello.cpp
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
printf("hello, world!\n");
return 0;
}We can build and run that in any of those runtimes:
-$ emcc hello.cpp -O3 -o hello.wasm
$ wasmer run hello.wasm
hello, world!
$ wasmtime hello.wasm
hello, world!
$ wavm run hello.wasm
hello, world!$ emcc hello.cpp -O3 -o hello.wasm
$ wasmer run hello.wasm
hello, world!
$ wasmtime hello.wasm
hello, world!
$ wavm run hello.wasm
hello, world!Emscripten uses WASI APIs as much as possible, so programs like this end up using 100% WASI and can run in WASI-supporting runtimes (see notes later on what programs require more than WASI).

And this movie gets wild: If its gleeful cracking apart of traditional theologies doesn’t get you (there’s a lot of Catholic folk imagery here, complete with an Ash Wednesday-like mud smearing on the foreheads of the faithful), its bonkers scenes of chaos probably will. Mother! is a movie designed to provoke fury, ecstasy, madness, catharsis, and more than a little awe.

Time slips away in the film almost imperceptibly, and the narrative arc doesn’t yield easily to the viewer. Cynthia Nixon plays Emily Dickinson, whose poetry and life is a perfect match for the signature style of director Terence Davies: rich in detail, deeply enigmatic, and weighed down with a kind of sparkling, joy-tinged sorrow.

According to fan site MakingStarWars.net, rumors abound that Lucasfilm might re-release the unaltered cuts of the saga’s original trilogy.
If the rumors are true, this is big news for Star Wars fans. Aside from limited VHS releases, the unaltered cuts of the original trilogy films haven’t been available since they premiered in theaters in the 1970s and ’80s. If Lucasfilm indeed re-releases the films’ original cuts, then this will be the first time in decades that fans can see the films in their original forms. Here’s what makes the unaltered cuts of the original trilogy so special.
Thanks to the commercial success of Star Wars, George Lucas has revisited and further edited his films for re-releases. The most notable — and controversial — release were the Special Editions of the original trilogy. In 1997, to celebrate the saga’s 20th anniversary, Lucasfilm spent a total of $15 million to remaster A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi. The Special Editions had stints in theaters before moving to home media.
Although most of the Special Editions’ changes were cosmetic, others significantly affected the plot of the films. The most notable example is the “Han shot first” scene in A New Hope. As a result, the Special Editions generated significant controversy among Star Wars fans. Many fans remain skeptical about George Lucas’s decision to finish each original trilogy film “the way it was meant to be.”
-
+
While the Special Editions represent the most significant edits to the original trilogy, the saga has undergone other changes. Following up on the saga’s first Blu-ray release in 2011, Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) began remastering the entire saga in 3D, starting with the prequel trilogy. The Phantom Menace saw a theatrical 3D re-release in 2012, but Disney’s 2012 acquisition of Lucasfilm indefinitely postponed further 3D releases.
In 2015, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith received limited 3D showings at Celebration Anaheim. Other than that, it seems as though Disney has decided to refocus Lucasfilm’s efforts to new films. Of course, that’s why the saga has produced new content beginning with The Force Awakens. However, it looks like Lucasfilm isn’t likely to generate 3D versions of the original trilogy anytime soon.
-
+
Admittedly, the differences between the original trilogy’s unaltered cuts and the Special Editions appeal to more hardcore fans. Casual fans are less likely to care about whether Greedo or Han Solo shot first. Still, given Star Wars’ indelible impact on pop culture, there’s certainly a market for the original trilogy’s unaltered cuts. They might not be for every Star Wars fan, but many of us care about them.
ILM supervisor John Knoll, who first pitched the story idea for Rogue One, said last year that ILM finished a brand new 4K restoration print of A New Hope. For that reason, it seems likely that Lucasfilm will finally give diehard fans the original film cuts that they’ve clamored for. There’s no word yet whether the unaltered cuts will be released in theaters or on home media. At the very least, however, fans will likely get them after all this time. After all, the Special Editions marked the saga’s 20th anniversary. Star Wars turns 40 years old this year, so there’s no telling what’s in store.

A developed country, New Zealand ranks highly in international comparisons of national performance, such as quality of life, health, education, protection of civil liberties, and economic freedom. New Zealand underwent major economic changes during the 1980s, which transformed it from a protectionist to a liberalised free-trade economy. The service sector dominates the national economy, followed by the industrial sector, and agriculture; international tourism is a significant source of revenue. Nationally, legislative authority is vested in an elected, unicameral Parliament, while executive political power is exercised by the Cabinet, led by the prime minister, currently Jacinda Ardern. Queen Elizabeth II is the country's monarch and is represented by a governor-general, currently Dame Patsy Reddy. In addition, New Zealand is organised into 11 regional councils and 67 territorial authorities for local government purposes.

He wrote, "it is possible that this land joins to the Staten Land but it is uncertain",[11] referring to a landmass of the same name at the southern tip of South America, discovered by Jacob Le Maire in 1616.[12][13] In 1645, Dutch cartographers renamed the land Nova Zeelandia after the Dutch province of Zeeland.[14][15] British explorer James Cook subsequently anglicised the name to New Zealand.[16]

- New Zealand was one of the last major landmasses settled by humans. Radiocarbon dating, evidence of deforestation[23] and mitochondrial DNA variability within Māori populations[24] suggest New Zealand was first settled by Eastern Polynesians between 1250 and 1300,[19][25] concluding a long series of voyages through the southern Pacific islands.[26] Over the centuries that followed, these settlers developed a distinct culture now known as Māori. The population was divided into iwi (tribes) and hapū (subtribes) who would sometimes cooperate, sometimes compete and sometimes fight against each other.[27] At some point a group of Māori migrated to Rēkohu, now known as the Chatham Islands, where they developed their distinct Moriori culture.[28][29] The Moriori population was all but wiped out between 1835 and 1862, largely because of Taranaki Māori invasion and enslavement in the 1830s, although European diseases also contributed. In 1862 only 101 survived, and the last known full-blooded Moriori died in 1933.[30] + New Zealand was one of the last major landmasses settled by humans.

-The first Europeans known to have reached New Zealand were Dutch explorer Abel Tasman and his crew in 1642.[31] In a hostile encounter, four crew members were killed and at least one Māori was hit by canister shot.[32] Europeans did not revisit New Zealand until 1769 when British explorer James Cook mapped almost the entire coastline.[31] Following Cook, New Zealand was visited by numerous European and North American whaling, sealing and trading ships. They traded European food, metal tools, weapons and other goods for timber, Māori food, artefacts and water.[33] The introduction of the potato and the musket transformed Māori agriculture and warfare. Potatoes provided a reliable food surplus, which enabled longer and more sustained military campaigns.[34] The resulting intertribal Musket Wars encompassed over 600 battles between 1801 and 1840, killing 30,000–40,000 Māori.[35] From the early 19th century, Christian missionaries began to settle New Zealand, eventually converting most of the Māori population.[36] The Māori population declined to around 40% of its pre-contact level during the 19th century; introduced diseases were the major factor.[37]
In 1788 Captain Arthur Phillip assumed the position of Governor of the new British colony of New South Wales which according to his commission included New Zealand.[38] The British Government appointed James Busby as British Resident to New Zealand in 1832 following a petition from northern Māori.[39] In 1835, following an announcement of impending French settlement by Charles de Thierry, the nebulous United Tribes of New Zealand sent a Declaration of Independence to King William IV of the United Kingdom asking for protection.[39] Ongoing unrest, the proposed settlement of New Zealand by the New Zealand Company (which had already sent its first ship of surveyors to buy land from Māori) and the dubious legal standing of the Declaration of Independence prompted the Colonial Office to send Captain William Hobson to claim sovereignty for the United Kingdom and negotiate a treaty with the Māori.[40] The Treaty of Waitangi was first signed in the Bay of Islands on 6 February 1840.[41] In response to the New Zealand Company's attempts to establish an independent settlement in Wellington[42] and French settlers purchasing land in Akaroa,[43] Hobson declared British sovereignty over all of New Zealand on 21 May 1840, even though copies of the Treaty were still circulating throughout the country for Māori to sign.[44] With the signing of the Treaty and declaration of sovereignty the number of immigrants, particularly from the United Kingdom, began to increase.[45]
New Zealand, still part of the colony of New South Wales, became a separate Colony of New Zealand on 1 July 1841.[46] Armed conflict began between the Colonial government and Māori in 1843 with the Wairau Affray over land and disagreements over sovereignty. These conflicts, mainly in the North Island, saw thousands of Imperial troops and the Royal Navy come to New Zealand and became known as the New Zealand Wars. Following these armed conflicts, large amounts of Māori land was confiscated by the government to meet settler demands.[47] @@ -616,7 +601,7 @@ In 1907, at the request of the New Zealand Parliament, King Edward VII proclaimed New Zealand a Dominion within the British Empire,[54] reflecting its self-governing status.[55] In 1947 the country adopted the Statute of Westminster, confirming that the British Parliament could no longer legislate for New Zealand without the consent of New Zealand.[48]

Mozilla is a free-software community, created in 1998 by members of Netscape. The Mozilla community uses, develops, spreads and supports Mozilla products, thereby promoting exclusively free software and open standards, with only minor exceptions.[1] The community is supported institutionally by the Mozilla Foundation and its tax-paying subsidiary, the Mozilla Corporation.[2]
@@ -48,20 +48,17 @@On January 23, 1998, Netscape made two announcements: first, that Netscape Communicator will be free; second, that the source code will also be free.[3] One day later, Jamie Zawinski from Netscape registered mozilla.org.[4] The project was named Mozilla after the original code name of the Netscape Navigator browser which is a blending of "Mosaic and Godzilla"[5] and used to co-ordinate the development of the Mozilla Application Suite, the open source version of Netscape's internet software, Netscape Communicator.[6][7] Jamie Zawinski says he came up with the name "Mozilla" at a Netscape staff meeting.[8][9] A small group of Netscape employees were tasked with coordination of the new community.
Originally, Mozilla aimed to be a technology provider for companies, such as Netscape, who would commercialize their open source code.[10] When AOL (Netscape's parent company) greatly reduced its involvement with Mozilla in July 2003, the Mozilla Foundation was designated the legal steward of the project.[11] Soon after, Mozilla deprecated the Mozilla Suite in favor of creating independent applications for each function, primarily the Firefox web browser and the Thunderbird email client, and moved to supply them directly to the public.[12]
@@ -124,20 +116,17 @@In a report released in November 2012, Mozilla reported that their total revenue for 2011 was $163 million, which was up 33% from $123 million in 2010. Mozilla noted that roughly 85% of their revenue comes from their contract with Google.[16]
At the end of 2013, Mozilla announced a deal with Cisco Systems whereby Firefox would download and use a Cisco-provided binary build of an open source[17] codec to play the proprietary H.264 video format.[18][19] As part of the deal, Cisco would pay any patent licensing fees associated with the binaries that it distributes. Mozilla's CTO, Brendan Eich, acknowledged that this is "not a complete solution" and isn't "perfect".[20] An employee in Mozilla's video formats team, writing in an unofficial capacity, justified[21] it by the need to maintain their large user base, which would be necessary in future battles for truly free video formats.
In December 2013, Mozilla announced funding for the development of non-free games[22] through its Game Creator Challenge. However, even those games that may be released under a non-free software or open source license must be made with open web technologies and Javascript as per the work criteria outlined in the announcement.
-On March 24, 2014, Mozilla promoted Brendan Eich to the role of CEO. This led to boycotts and protests from the LGBT community and its supporters, as Eich previously donated US$1,000[23] in 2008 in support of California's Proposition 8, a California ballot proposition and state constitutional amendment in opposition to same-sex marriage.[24] Eich's donation first became public knowledge in 2012, while he was Mozilla’s chief technical officer, leading to angry responses on Twitter—including the use of the hashtag "#wontworkwithbigots".[25]
Protests also emerged in 2014 following the announcement of Eich's appointment as CEO of Mozilla. U.S. companies OkCupid and CREDO Mobile received media coverage for their objections, with the former asking its users to boycott the browser,[26] while Credo amassed 50,000 signatures for a petition that called for Eich's resignation
Due to the controversy, Eich voluntarily stepped down on April 3, 2014[27] and Mitchell Baker, executive chairwoman of Mozilla Corporation, posted a statement on the Mozilla blog: "We didn’t move fast enough to engage with people once the controversy started. Mozilla believes both in equality and freedom of speech. Equality is necessary for meaningful speech. And you need free speech to fight for equality."[28] Eich's resignation promoted a larger backlash from conservatives who felt he had been forced out of the company internally.[citation needed]
OkCupid co-founder and CEO Sam Yagan had also donated $500[29] to Republican candidate Chris Cannon who proceeded to vote for multiple measures viewed as "anti-gay", including the banning of same-sex marriage.[30][31][32][33] Yagan claims he did not know about Cannon's stance on gay rights and that his contribution was due to the candidate being the ranking Republican participating in the House subcommittee that oversaw Internet and Intellectual Property matters.[34][35][36][37][38]
Reader comments on articles that were published close to the events were divided between support for OkCupid's actions and opposition to them. Supporters claimed the boycott was justified and saw OkCupid's actions as a firm statement of opposition to intolerance towards the gay community. Opponents saw OkCupid's actions as hypocritical, since Eich is also the inventor of JavaScript, which is still required to browse OkCupid's website, and felt that users should not be punished for the actions of Mozilla and suspected that OkCupid's actions were a publicity stunt.[36][39]

Firefox is a web browser, and is Mozilla's flagship software product. It is available in both desktop and mobile versions. Firefox uses the Gecko layout engine to render web pages, which implements current and anticipated web standards.[42] As of late 2015, Firefox has approximately 10-11% of worldwide usage share of web browsers, making it the 4th most-used web browser.[43][44][45]
Firefox began as an experimental branch of the Mozilla codebase by Dave Hyatt, Joe Hewitt and Blake Ross. They believed the commercial requirements of Netscape's sponsorship and developer-driven feature creep compromised the utility of the Mozilla browser.[46] To combat what they saw as the Mozilla Suite's software bloat, they created a stand-alone browser, with which they intended to replace the Mozilla Suite.
Firefox was originally named Phoenix but the name was changed so as to avoid trademark conflicts with Phoenix Technologies. The initially-announced replacement, Firebird, provoked objections from the Firebird project community.[47][48] The current name, Firefox, was chosen on February 9, 2004.[49]
-Firefox Mobile (codenamed Fennec) is the build of the Mozilla Firefox web browser for devices such as smartphones and tablet computers.
Firefox Mobile uses the same Gecko layout engine as Mozilla Firefox. For example, version 1.0 used the same engine as Firefox 3.6, and the following release, 4.0, shared core code with Firefox 4.0. Its features include HTML5 support, Firefox Sync, add-ons support and tabbed browsing.[50]
Firefox Mobile is currently available for Android 2.2 and above devices with an ARMv7 or ARMv6 CPU.[51] The x86 architecture is not officially supported.[52] Tristan Nitot, president of Mozilla Europe, has said that it's unlikely that an iPhone or a BlackBerry version will be released, citing Apple's iTunes Store application approval policies (which forbid applications competing with Apple's own, and forbid engines which run downloaded code) and BlackBerry's limited operating system as the reasons.[53]
-Firefox OS (project name: Boot to Gecko also known as B2G) is an open source operating system in development by Mozilla that aims to support HTML5 apps written using "open Web" technologies rather than platform-specific native APIs. The concept behind Firefox OS is that all user-accessible software will be HTML5 applications, that use Open Web APIs to access the phone's hardware directly via JavaScript.[54]
Some devices using this OS include[55] Alcatel One Touch Fire, ZTE Open, LG Fireweb.
-Thunderbird is a free, open source, cross-platform email and news client developed by the volunteers of the Mozilla Community.
On July 16, 2012, Mitchell Baker announced that Mozilla's leadership had come to the conclusion that on-going stability was the most important thing for Thunderbird and that innovation in Thunderbird was no longer a priority for Mozilla. In that update Baker also suggested that Mozilla had provided a pathway for community to innovate around Thunderbird if the community chooses.[56]

SeaMonkey (formerly the Mozilla Application Suite) is a free and open source cross platform suite of Internet software components including a web browser component, a client for sending and receiving email and USENET newsgroup messages, an HTML editor (Mozilla Composer) and the ChatZilla IRC client.
On March 10, 2005, the Mozilla Foundation announced that it would not release any official versions of Mozilla Application Suite beyond 1.7.x, since it had now focused on the standalone applications Firefox and Thunderbird.[57] SeaMonkey is now maintained by the SeaMonkey Council, which has trademarked the SeaMonkey name with help from the Mozilla Foundation.[58] The Mozilla Foundation provides project hosting for the SeaMonkey developers.

Bugzilla is a web-based general-purpose bug tracking system, which was released as open source software by Netscape Communications in 1998 along with the rest of the Mozilla codebase, and is currently stewarded by Mozilla. It has been adopted by a variety of organizations for use as a bug tracking system for both free and open source software and proprietary projects and products, including the Mozilla Foundation, the Linux kernel, GNOME, KDE, Red Hat, Novell, Eclipse and LibreOffice.[59]
-Network Security Services (NSS) comprises a set of libraries designed to support cross-platform development of security-enabled client and server applications. NSS provides a complete open-source implementation of crypto libraries supporting SSL and S/MIME. NSS was previously tri-licensed under the Mozilla Public License 1.1, the GNU General Public License, and the GNU Lesser General Public License, but upgraded to GPL-compatible MPL 2.0.
AOL, Red Hat, Sun Microsystems/Oracle Corporation, Google and other companies and individual contributors have co-developed NSS and it is used in a wide range of non-Mozilla products including Evolution, Pidgin, and Apache OpenOffice.
-SpiderMonkey is the original JavaScript engine developed by Brendan Eich when he invented JavaScript in 1995 as a developer at Netscape. It became part of the Mozilla product family when Mozilla inherited Netscape's code-base in 1998. In 2011, Eich transferred the nominal ownership of the SpiderMonkey code and project to Dave Mandelin.[60]
SpiderMonkey is a cross-platform engine written in C++ which implements ECMAScript, a standard developed from JavaScript.[60][61] It comprises an interpreter, several just-in-time compilers, a decompiler and a garbage collector. Products which embed SpiderMonkey include Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, and many non-Mozilla applications.[62]
-Rhino is an open source JavaScript engine managed by the Mozilla Foundation. It is developed entirely in Java. Rhino converts JavaScript scripts into Java classes. Rhino works in both compiled and interpreted mode.[63]
-Gecko is a layout engine that supports web pages written using HTML, SVG, and MathML. Gecko is written in C++ and uses NSPR for platform independence. Its source code is licensed under the Mozilla Public License.
Firefox uses Gecko both for rendering web pages and for rendering its user interface. Gecko is also used by Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, and many non-Mozilla applications.
-Rust is a compiled programming language being developed by Mozilla Research. It is designed for safety, concurrency, and performance. Rust is intended for creating large and complex software which needs to be both safe against exploits and fast.
Rust is being used in an experimental layout engine, Servo, which is developed by Mozilla and Samsung. Servo is not used in any consumer-oriented browsers yet. However, the Servo project developers plan for parts of the Servo source code to be merged into Gecko, and Firefox, incrementally.[64][65]
-XULRunner is a software platform and technology experiment by Mozilla, that allows applications built with the same technologies used by Firefox extensions (XPCOM, Javascript, HTML, CSS, XUL) to be run natively as desktop applications, without requiring Firefox to be installed on the user's machine. XULRunner binaries are available for the Windows, GNU/Linux and OS X operating systems, allowing such applications to be effectively cross platform.
-Pdf.js is a library developed by Mozilla that allows in-browser rendering of pdf documents using the HTML5 Canvas and Javascript. It is included by default in recent versions of Firefox, allowing the browser to render pdf documents without requiring an external plugin; and it is available separately as an extension named "PDF Viewer" for Firefox for Android, SeaMonkey, and the Firefox versions which don't include it built-in. It can also be included as part of a website's scripts, to allow pdf rendering for any browser that implements the required HTML5 features and can run Javascript.
-Shumway is an open source replacement for the Adobe Flash Player, developed by Mozilla since 2012, using open web technologies as a replacement for Flash technologies. It uses Javascript and HTML5 Canvas elements to render Flash and execute Actionscript. It is included by default in Firefox Nightly and can be installed as an extension for any recent version of Firefox. The current implementation is limited in its capabilities to render Flash content outside simple projects.
-Mozilla VR is a team focused on bringing Virtual reality tools, specifications, and standards to the open Web.[66] Mozilla VR maintains A-Frame (VR), a web framework for building VR experiences, and works on advancing WebVR support within web browsers.
-Mozilla Persona is a secure, cross-browser website authentication mechanism which allows a user to use a single username and password (or other authentication method) to log in to multiple sites.[67] Mozilla Persona will be shutting down on November 30, 2016.[68]
-This open source crowdsourced geolocation service was started by Mozilla in 2013 and offers a free API.

As part of Mozilla’s non-profit mission, Webmaker aims "to help the world increase their understanding of the web, take greater control of their online lives, and create a more web literate planet."[69][70][70]
-Mozilla maintains a comprehensive developer documentation website called the Mozilla Developer Network which contains information about web technologies including HTML, CSS, SVG, JavaScript, as well Mozilla-specific information. In addition, Mozilla publishes a large number of videos about web technologies and the development of Mozilla projects on the Air Mozilla website.[71][72]
-The Mozilla Community consists of over 40,000 active contributors from across the globe[citation needed]. It includes both paid employees and volunteers who work towards the goals set forth[40] in the Mozilla Manifesto. Many of the sub-communities in Mozilla have formed around localization efforts for Mozilla Firefox, and the Mozilla web properties.

The report, which compares data from 200 companies since 2015, ranks ReactJS, Docker, and Ansible at the top of the fastest growing skills in demand. When comparing the percentage change from 2015 to 2016, technologies like AJAX, Backbone.js, jQuery, and WordPress are less in demand.

Stack Overflow also measured the demand relative to the available developers in different tech skills. The demand for backend, mobile, and database engineers is higher than the number of qualified candidates available. WordPress is last among the oversaturated fields with a surplus of developers relative to available positions.
-

In looking at these results, it’s important to consider the inherent biases within the Stack Overflow ecosystem. In 2016, the site surveyed more than 56,000 developers but noted that the survey was “biased against devs who don’t speak English.” The average age of respondents was 29.6 years old and 92.8% of them were male.
For two years running, Stack Overflow survey respondents have ranked WordPress among the most dreaded technologies that they would prefer not to use. This may be one reason why employers wouldn’t be looking to advertise positions on the site’s job board, which is the primary source of the data for this report.

-Virtual reality has officially reached the consoles. And it’s pretty good! Sony’s PlayStation VR is extremely comfortable and reasonably priced, and while it’s lacking killer apps, it’s loaded with lots of interesting ones.
But which ones should you buy? I’ve played just about every launch game, and while some are worth your time, others you might want to skip. To help you decide what’s what, I’ve put together this list of the eight PSVR games worth considering.
Beloved cult hit “Rez” gets the VR treatment to help launch the PSVR, and the results are terrific. It includes a fully remastered take on the original “Rez” – you zoom through a Matrix-like computer system, shooting down enemies to the steady beat of thumping electronica – but the VR setting makes it incredibly immersive. It gets better the more you play it, too; unlock the amazing Area X mode and you’ll find yourself flying, shooting and bobbing your head to some of the trippiest visuals yet seen in VR.
What would happen if Tron, the board game Simon, a Clown beetle, Cthulhu and a noise band met in VR? Chaos, for sure, and also “Thumper.” Called a “violent rhythm game” by its creators, “Thumper” is, well, a violent rhythm game that’s also a gorgeous, unsettling and totally captivating assault on the senses. With simple controls and a straightforward premise – click the X button and the analog stick in time with the music as you barrel down a neon highway — it’s one of the rare games that works equally well both in and out of VR. But since you have PSVR, play it there. It’s marvelous.
Cheeky horror game “Until Dawn” was a breakout hit for the PS4 last year, channeling the classic “dumb teens in the woods” horror trope into an effective interactive drama. Well, forget all that if you fire up “Rush of Blood,” because this one sticks you front and center on a rollercoaster ride from Hell. Literally. You ride through a dimly-lit carnival of terror, dual-wielding pistols as you take down targets, hideous pig monsters and, naturally, maniac clowns. Be warned: If the bad guys don’t get you, the jump scares will.
Soccer meets “Portal” in the weird (and weirdly fun) “Headmaster,” a game about heading soccer balls into nets, targets and a variety of other things while stuck in some diabolical training facility. While at first it seems a little basic, increasingly challenging shots and a consistently entertaining narrative keep it from running off the pitch. Funny, ridiculous and as easy as literally moving your head back and forth, it’s a pleasant PSVR surprise.
Giant mechs + sports? That’s the gist of this robotic blast-a-thon, which pits two teams of three against one another in gorgeous, explosive and downright fun VR combat. At its best, “RIGS” marries the thrill of fast-paced competitive shooters with the insanity of piloting a giant mech in VR. It can, however, be one of the barfier PSVR games. So pack your Dramamine, you’re going to have to ease yourself into this one.
“I’m Batman,” you will say. And you’ll actually be right this time, because you are Batman in this detective yarn, and you know this because you actually grab the famous cowl and mask, stick it on your head, and stare into the mirrored reflection of Rocksteady Games’ impressive Dark Knight character model. It lacks the action of its fellow “Arkham” games and runs disappointingly short, but it’s a high-quality experience that really shows off how powerfully immersive VR can be.
There are a number of good VR ports in the PSVR launch lineup, but the HTC Vive launch game “Job Simulator” might be the best. Your task? Lots of tasks, actually, from cooking food to fixing cars to working in an office, all for robots, because did I mention you were in the future? Infinitely charming and surprisingly challenging, it’s a great showpiece for VR.
Already a hit on the Oculus Rift, this space dogfighting game was one of the first to really show off how VR can turn a traditional game experience into something special. It’s pricey and not quite as hi-res as the Rift version, but “Eve Valkyrie” does an admirable job filling the void left since “Battlestar Galactica” ended. Too bad there aren’t any Cylons in it (or are there?)

- トレンドマイクロは3月9日、Wi-Fi利用時の通信を暗号化し保護するスマホ・タブレット向けのセキュリティアプリ「フリーWi-Fiプロテクション」（iOS/Android）の発売を開始すると発表した。1年版ライセンスは2900円（税込）で、2年版ライセンスは5000円（税込）。
-
フリーWi-Fiプロテクションは、App Storeおよび、Google Playにて販売され、既に提供しているスマホ・タブレット向け総合セキュリティ対策アプリ「ウイルスバスター モバイル」と併用することで、不正アプリや危険なウェブサイトからの保護に加え、通信の盗み見を防ぐことができる。
-
2020年の東京オリンピック・パラリンピックの開催などを見据え、フリーWi-Fi（公衆無線LAN）の設置が促進され、フリーWi-Fiの利用者も増加している。
-
-
一方で、脆弱な設定のフリーWi-Fiや攻撃者が設置した偽のフリーWi-Fiへの接続などによる情報漏えい、通信の盗み見などのセキュリティリスクが危惧されているという。
-
-
正規事業者が提供する安全性の高いフリーWi-Fiのほかにも、通信を暗号化していない安全性の低いフリーWi-Fi、さらにはサイバー犯罪者が設置したフリーWi-Fiなどさまざまなものが混在している。また、利用者は、接続する前にひとつひとつ安全性を確認するのは難しい状況だとしている。
-
-
トレンドマイクロがスマートフォン保持者でフリーWi-Fiの利用経験がある人に実施した調査では、回答者の約85％が安全なフリーWi-Fiと危険なフリーWi-Fiは「見分けられない」と回答。さらに、約65％がフリーWi-Fiの利用に不安を感じていると回答している。
-
-
こうした環境の変化やユーザの状況を鑑み、フリーWi-Fiプロテクションの提供を開始する。同アプリをインストールすることで利用者は、万が一安全性の低いフリーWi-Fiのアクセスポイントに接続してしまった場合でも、その通信を暗号化でき、通信の盗み見やそれによる情報漏えいのリスクを低減できるようになる。
-
-
具体的には、フリーWi-Fi利用時に、スマートフォンがフリーWi-Fiプロテクションインフラに接続することにより、フリーWi-Fiのアクセスポイントを介した通信がVPN（Virtual Private Network）で暗号化される。これにより利用者は、第三者から通信を傍受されることやデータの情報漏えいを防ぐことが可能。さらに、かんたん自動接続の機能により、通信を暗号化していない安全性が低いフリーWi-Fi接続時や利用者が指定したWi-Fiへ接続する際に、自動的に通信を暗号化し、利用者の通信を保護する。
-
また、フリーWi-Fiプロテクションインフラと、莫大なセキュリティ情報のビッグデータを保有するクラウド型セキュリティ技術基盤「Trend Micro Smart Protection Network」（SPN）が連携することで、フリーWi-Fiプロテクションインフラを経由してインターネットを利用する際に、利用者がフィッシング詐欺サイトや偽サイトなどへの不正サイトへアクセスすることをブロックできるという。

出国前后关注点大不同
出国前：政治科目会出啥考题？

在英国求学6年后，李博灏希望能够学有所用，为国家发展过程中遇到的难题寻求解决办法。因此随着课题研究的深入，他更加关注国家和社会目前所面临的挑战，比如中等收入陷阱、供给侧改革、创意创新产业的发展等议题。
还有一些学子表示，出国前对两会不太了解，出国后反而对两会热点多了些思考。在澳大利亚墨尔本留学的马素湘说：“想不关注都难啊！刷微博看新闻到处都是两会的消息。而且我现在学的是新闻专业，对世界发生的大小事都会留意。随着年龄、阅历增长，家国情怀也渐长，会关心国家发展的各方面问题。”

马素湘表示，“出国读研之前，我在国内学习法学，因此对相关的问题比较感兴趣。今年两会上人大代表黄细花提出把法定婚龄降低到18岁的提案；而在微博的热搜榜上，一本儿童性教育读物引起了极大的争议。我认为降低婚龄并不适合我国国情。因为性教育的缺乏导致我国大部分人在18岁之前没有接受过完整的性教育，思想行动上也不够成熟，如何能够对自己的人生和自己的另一半负责？所以我希望能有人大代表提议在国民儿童阶段完善我国的性教育，而不是为了鼓励生育将法定婚龄提前。”
李博灏是英国剑桥大学制造业研究所创新设计管理中心的一名博士。他格外关注的话题是供给侧结构性改革，知识产权保护，消费升级等议题。“我的博士研究课题是关于推动创新设计密集型产业的发展从而帮助中等收入国家克服中等收入陷阱的探索，因此一直十分关注国内关于供给侧改革的相关议题。通过本届两会对于该议题的进一步关注，我希望可以有效地帮助我了解供给侧改革与中等收入陷阱问题目前的发展状况以及解决情况；也希望可以与更多的机构取得联系，并帮助他们了解该议题最前沿的研究与解决方案。”

作为两会的资深粉，卢宇聊起两会话题充满了期待。“今年是国家‘十三五’规划的关键时期，‘一带一路’建设也在如火如荼地进行中。作为一名中国留学生，我一直都关注着能在哪些领域为国家、为中外合作共赢做出贡献。‘大众创业、万众创新’提出有几年了。全国各省市在吸引留学人才归国创业就业方面纷纷提出了各种优惠政策，但目前大都集中在沿海发达省份，而且主要惠及理工科博士，政策覆盖面还不够广。期待从国家层面设立工作组加强留学人才的统筹协调，完善顶层设计。人文社科类留学人才是未来国家智库的重要后备力量，也应该适当加强对他们的政策鼓励，更好地服务于‘一带一路’国家战略。”
卢宇还认为两会应该增设学子代表，列席旁听两会，拓展留学生参政议政渠道。“我相信优秀留学生的国际化视野必将为家乡建设带来新的思路，增添新的活力。”卢宇恳切地说。
