I was the person that actually managed the binary size task force and proved that it was a business problem in the first place. Not all management didn’t care about AMS :)
The Amsterdam team 100% played a critical role in solving the issue (at least until apple bumped the limit). No way we would have stayed under it without you all.
AFAIK the only difference between a dylib and a framework is the folder structure (and I guess the install path of the library). So in theory you could produce a cdylib, create a framework folder structure for it, and then use install_name_tool to update the install name appropriately.
That's what I thought, too, but I was reminded of the filetype field in the mach_header which has distinct MH_DYLIB and MH_BUNDLE values. fwiw, I don't think that difference means much for the loading process, but they are different.
Hmm. I just ran `otool -hv /System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Foundation` and it says the "filetype" header has the value "DYLIB". It looks like MH_BUNDLE is actually for plugin bundles, not for frameworks.
I took a couple engineering ethics classes at the University of Virginia (class of '06), and found them valuable and thought-provoking. The curriculum was called "Science, Technology, and Society". More here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science,_technology_and_society
Dayton, Ohio. We talked about a lot of interesting topics, like Whistleblowing (particularly relevant nowadays) and what sort of ethical obligations you have, in addition to stuff like "dont cut corners, dont be lazy, etc", the normal engineering things.
If you have a Netgear WNDR3700v2 or a WNDR3800, check out Cerowrt [1]. The latest stable build, 3.7.5-2, has been exceptionally stable for me, and fast. I would highly recommend it.
How does this prove it is a bubble? If anything, isn't this evidence for the opposite? I expected the price to drop dramatically after the Silk Road shutdown.
Not really. The market was well-aware that SR was an illegal enterprise which could end at any time. The risk should have already been priced in. To a reasonably efficient market, good news is not good news if it was already predicted, and bad news is not bad news if that had been predicted instead. What matters is the extent to which the news is better or worse than predicted.
In SR's case, the news was better than one would have predicted. Despite it being the worst-case scenario - the server seized intact, Ross's laptop seized unlocked, all outstanding balances confiscated - it wasn't that bad because Ross's personal savings do not yet seem to have been taken, the current seizures will not be sold until the trial is over, and the bust was not due to breaks in either Bitcoin (they didn't even bother with blockchain analysis in the indictments!) or Tor (as far as we can currently tell) but to errors and overwhelming hubris on Ross's part, so SR could be and was quickly replaced by a flood of clones/competitors (at last count: BlackMarket Reloaded, Sheep Marketplace, BuyItNow, DeepBay, Budster, & Black Flag are all actively buying & selling; in addition, The Market and Silk Road Reloaded are expected to come online in the next few weeks/months).
