The other huge point is it's easy to get some regular Red Team penetration testing, it's quite another thing to get what the Red Team found in their analysis mitigated properly in a timely fashion.

I have several friends who are on Red Teams working for pretty visible info sec companies. The one thing they always harp on is going back to test a companies network or physical infrastructure and finding most, if not all of the necessary fixes have not been corrected from their last visit.

You're right, big companies do have regular testing, but you'd be surprised how slowly those holes and issues actually get fixed.
Is anyone tired yet of the over the top rhetoric? The only group of people currently in the world who belong in the same sentence as Hitler is the communist Chinese government. After having conducted tens of millions of forced abortions and sterilizations, it is running actual concentration camps in which members of the Chinese Muslim minority are being tortured and mutilated. And guess what, Google, etc., are happy to publish ads from Chinese state-sponsored companies, universities, etc.

It's indicative of profound moral confusion that we're talking about Alex Jones for some reason instead.

> Realistically Search and Maps should be public utilities.

That's the most comical thing I've read today. The government controlling search and maps is the last thing anyone should ever want. Not to mention they'll innovate as quickly as they innovate the DMV; no incentive therefore no innovation. Public utilities such as water, gas, and electricity are natural monopolies and priced on a per usage basis, so you'll be paying per search query and map lookup making it a more expensive and worse experience.
This is a really weird article. Of course VC people and bloggers are not going to have miracle years - the people with the potential to make amazing discoveries have much better things to do then talk about how to get other people to make amazing discoveries. The hope of an article like Miracle Years is that someone in power makes a change to a school policy or something like that and makes it more likely for someone else to have a miracle year.
The system isn’t immune to spam attacks.
Yet you don't provide any evidence for your bold, asbolutist, and franckly, insulting, claim. Hence I'd say this very form of comment is closer to the proverbial facebook mum style, than somebody suggesting "I'm betting".

But allow me to actually provide some hints that, while not able to remove all doubt about the matter, nevertheless show such a theory is not an undeserving question, nor born from an irrational mind:

It is fine for what it is however all the large tech companies have some comparable offering(Google Drive, Icloud, OneDrive) for which the barrier to entry is much lower.
Huh. Hadn't heard about glTF, thanks.

Start with VRML-97's syntax, add a bunch of unnecessary quotes and colons, remove useful stuff like DEF/USE, and voila! you have glTF.

At least it's not X3D.
The US does not even need to ramp up PPE production. Mask availability is good outside of the US, but you don't know if you are importing a fake one, unfortunately. This is solvable.

What's needed is additional certification labs and US-based quality control for imported N95/KN95 masks. It is very cheap to set up a new lab - all you need to test a mask is a ~$1000 sub-micron particle counter. Just keep buying samples of masks from various manufacturers and make sure they are not slipping on quality.

3M and Powecom now offer one-time-use authenticity code for masks they ship (see https://safeguard.3m.com) and other manufacturers will likely follow soon. This means that you don't have to worry about the middlemen doing importing and distribution swapping the product for counterfeit - all you need is a quality reputation score for manufacturers themselves, making the problem much easier.

This is of course should've all been done by the CDC and US Customs already but they are dropping the ball and doing only a limited amount testing. Maybe universities can step up and use their labs for testing?

Additional PSA for people reading this thread: you can buy reputable-looking KN95 masks from Office Depot(!) right now. It's an ear-loop design which is not ideal, but you could fix the rubberbands yourself easily.
The difference is that if a ps3 gets hacked, the hack can prevent you from removing it thus causing the need for new hardware. Opse.
Anyone know of other teams who have implemented something similar?
The main thrust of this article is not the new game she invented.

It's about "irreverence," which is a great word for the concept that for many of us leads to "hacking" - in other words, not limiting ourselves to the status quo or any constraints that are typically perceived by ordinary humans.

The article's takeaway sums it up nicely- Whereas we adults may have to be taught to be irreverent, intellectual irreverence comes naturally to kids, out of sheer ignorance. And although ignorance is generally a vice, for creativity it can be a virtue.
If I understand rightly, the AV system being discussed in the UK allows the voter to choose to vote for either one or a limited number of candidates.

All votes won't be carried to the final round so this means the winner isn't guaranteed a 50+% share of the vote.
I love it :)

It would be fantastic if a site like this also supported categorizing code snippets the way gists on guthub work, and were searchable.
I think so. I believe that thinking competitively is just as important as thinking.
Thanks for the comment! Actually, I am little bit confused about the music. Some people like it, some people say that it is really annoying.
For now, I cannot make the right decision about it.
From the site: "The Recurse Center is a free, self-directed, educational retreat for people who want to get better at programming, whether they’ve been coding for three decades or three months. ... The lower bound for experience for people who have successfully done a batch at the Recurse Center seems to be about two months." So, OK, it's not a "boot camp". It's more like Advanced Infantry Training. You go there and program for three months.

The site is all about "Apply Now", before they tell you anything, even the fact that it's in New York City. The FAQ doesn't tell you much about what they actually do once you get there. The Manual is a little more helpful.

In Silicon Valley, we have Hacker Dojo, which is more about talks and classes on advanced topics. (It's really mostly a co-working space for app developers now.)
Probably not. While it wasn't intended to be so, JavaScript has become the lingua franca of web browsers and is therefore heading towards a future of being a compilation target. If your program can't compile to JavaScript, it doesn't really run on browsers (in much the same sense as "If your program can't be compiled to x86 assembly, it doesn't really run on computers").

Yeah, If you're not handling large quantities of money, why the hell should employers be able to see this?
Be kind. Don't be snarky. Respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says.

Trust is a personal relationship. I am not making a claim that such trust should be abandoned because they delayed an update and did not transparently and openly communicated with the community about what they are doing on the server side or why. A personal relationship is personal, and what is or isn't a problem in building and maintaining that trust is up to each person.

I do however claim that the placed trust in signals servers is critical for the security, and that the server side security matter. Who runs the server matters and what the server code does also matters.
It depends on what particular field within electrical engineering you're going to pursue. My specialty is signal processing and the general feeling in our field is that more math is always better. I haven't used topology or abstract algebra on the job. A solid understanding of the basics will take you pretty far. I'd choose depth in those fields before I worried about breadth.
Was going to post the same. I can't go a week without listening to Bill, Chick or Hiromi at some point. There is a YouTube video of dualing pianos with Chick and Hiromi, it's one of my most watched. They are both just out of this world.
> If the laptops would have such card slots and if SSD's would be available at a reasonable price in this format, then there would not remain any reason to use non-removable SSD's.

A gentle reminder that you live in a world where SSDs on some laptops are not removable at all, as are batteries. And I’m leaving out minutiae like RAM.

I’m just not seeing it as possible, how would you plan the obsolescence of such devices?
Hmm, the filesystem thing would be a constant slowdown, and there is the locking/async primitives that are generally better on Windows, but at least those are being worked on, both for Wine and Linux in general. I kind of recall reading about an option for ext4 to allow optional case insensitive operation? Ah! Recently added it seems. Needs a pretty recent kernel and a format-time config option that I doubt any linux distro is using yet, though [0]

I just meant that, in general, Wine should be very close to as fast on Windows, since it can usually implement win32 DLLs without much emulation/translation needed. Excepting all the bits that do :-)

And yet [ceteris paribus] a wage rise for a proportion of workers literally is inflation.

It is difficult to paint the alternative of artificially restricting the money supply to a level where the private sector [as a whole] must reduce some employees' nominal wages or fire them every time it offers pay rises to its most in-demand staff as more pro-labour. It doesn't sound any more pro-labour when people preferring that arrangement argue that recessions are a more appropriate mechanism to hold down wages, and acknowledge the purpose of zero inflation [and acceptance of economic downturns] is to allow wealth to be preserved for years or even generations without the need for it to be used in job creation.
> 2. More companies will adopt stances on current societal and political debates.

Smart companies will need to figure out the way to alienate a minimal amount of customers while appeasing the mob.
I'm super confused as to why anybody thinks this is a problem. Generally, when one "buys" something from a "marketplace" the vendor gets to know who the buyer is. That the vendor asks the buyer if there's anything else they'd want to buy is par for the course.
For all intents and purposes, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform have already replicated EC2 and S3, and every other feature they think is worth it. The price war in 2014 was pretty brutal (unless you're a customer, of course!) and it's not going to slow down in 2015.

And as people move away from 'raw cloud metal' to whatever the layer du jour is, what's underneath will matter less and less.
I much prefer meteors approach to all this.
Of course. Next time I'm choosing a bank I'll be sure to pay close attention to the part of their brochure where they say what their fractional reserve is.
"On July 1st 1885, the day the service was introduced, sending a first-class letter cost 2¢. 129 years later Flag can print and deliver your ads by first class mail, for just 1¢. That’s progress."

Progress in what? Advertising or postal delivery?
You're probably thinking of this post, I would guess? http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=119318909016582&w=2

The x86 landscape has changed a bit between that post and the recent video linked upthread, though (e.g. addition of a bunch of hardware protection instructions aimed at virtualization), which might have led him to reevaluate.

sysvinit does have built-in service management via inittab(5); unfortunately it is so primitive that in practice it is only used to spawn getty(8).

Maybe they aren't.

> Imagine that you've found yourself in Kashgar, the western-most city in Xinjiang, China’s western-most region. Your friend sends you a text message and tells you to meet him at 3 pm. Sounds pretty straight forward, right? Not in Xinjiang. If your friend is of China's majority Han ethnicity, you can assume that by 3 o'clock he's referring to Beijing Standard Time. But if your friend is a Uighur, the largest ethnic minority group in Xinjiang, he might be referring to “local time,” which is two hours behind.

Comity! I don't have a dog in the fight either, and I agree that expectations alignment and transparency are key, and that it is likely that neither were present here.
Giant text file full of notes in chronological order, stored in a git repo visible to my colleagues. Not that I write about every line of code I write, but the ratio of lines of notes to lines of code is at least 5:1. I pull material from this notebook file to make entries in whatever the official documentation system is today. I leave these notes behind when I change jobs, and I'm fine with that.
Thanks for the feedback. Your classwork under fast is inspiring, since it sounds like it included some fairly diverse cognitive skills. In my case trying to write a paper was a really emphatic illustration that something weird was going on, since I could do other, simpler tasks without really noticing a difference. But creative, integrative work that required planning and holding multiple things in memory at once was like running into a tree.

The pizzeria thing, on the other hand, doesn't really surprise me. I worked in a pizzeria once, and my experience there (and from talking to other friends in fast food) was that the more time you spend in food prep, the less hungry you are. There might be eating out of impulse, but the hunger triggers seem to go away pretty quick.

I'd encourage you in your final sentiment, though: quantitative performance info on fasting would be really useful, and doesn't seem to exist in the literature. If you ever want to talk about it please PM me.
Completely agree with that too.

Not to nitpick, but the fastest non-M 3 series is the M340, which has been tested to 3.8s 0-60 and can probably be leased for about the same as a Model 3 Performance. Disclaimer: it's my current daily driver.

The M3 is the more interesting comparison, and Elon specifically had the older one in his crosshairs vs. the Model 3 Performance trim. Based on various Youtube videos, the pre 2021 Model 3P seems to beat or match most of its competitors in various metrics at a significantly lower price. Would be interesting how the post 2021 Model 3P compares against the new hog-nosed BMW M3 and the upcoming 4cyl+electricmotor C63 AMG.

I'm actually scheduled to test drive a Model 3 this weekend so I'm curious how it will feel vs. the M340. I've never driven an EV before.
This is from a recent edition-is it ‘radically advocating’ for deregulation?

‘Today big tech is in disrepute, not unlike banks after the Wall Street Crash of 1929 and the situation in 2008. In both cases, regulators marched in. [...] Lawmakers and regulators should apply that ethos by imposing similar obligations on the tech titans‘
The upside of the question is it was an example for StackOverflow...a negative example of course. Spolsky talks about it all the time in the early StackOverflow podcasts.
They have to make sure the service they offer complies with the ADA's requirements and where that is not possible they must not offer that service.

Isn't that slightly different and more because the film industry is unusual in that it has adapted around the unionised environment? Stars would have joined the union early in their career for the protection, but late on its minimal expense for sake of keeping the cogs of production turning. I'm no expert, but I imagine there are various on-set insurances which require actors to be a member of union, etc. It's not quite the same as a VP of a tech company joining a union.
No, the work accounts are not paid accounts. My work requires me to interact with Open Source projects and the like. We have our own hosted Gitlab instance for our internal projects.

The work account is strictly to communicate with/provide patches back to upstream projects.

I have multiple personal accounts on Github. One for each employer I have worked at in the past couple of years, and my personal account that is tied to my own identity and is used for my personal time projects/open source work that is not tied to $work.
Summary: Hseih and Moretti enormously understated the cost of housing regulation.

From https://twitter.com/ESYudkowsky/status/1379175006387638273:
"Starting with perfect mobility, the second row in Table 4 shows the effect of changing the housing supply regulation only in New York, San Jose, and San Francisco to that in the median US city." The figure of 8.9% higher NATIONAL GDP is an error, it's actually *36%*!

I wonder what happened if Google put Baidu Ad javascript into the Safe Browsing list...
At NASA Goddard, they run climate models on our supercomputer and they are mostly in Fortran. I asked one of the developers once and he said the bulk of it was in Fortran 90/95. But there is still a lot of Fortran 77 code around, particularly in well-debugged libraries. This developer wanted to use a more modern dialect and take advantage of some of the new features, like object orientation, but it was hard to get the scientists to learn the new features. That's a big part of why Fortran endures, it's simple inertia.

During development of the original ANSI standard for C, the Cray rep and others wanted to add features that would enable C to kill Fortran. This meant adding complex numbers (which happened in C99 and was made optional in C11), and doing something about unrestricted pointers. The latter lead to the noalias fiasco, but ultimately we got strict, which accomplishes the same goal.

Straw man.

Turns out the problems really are hard, and the layers of
cruft are there for a reason.

Yes to the first part, no to the second. The layers of cruft are there because different problems were solved. Problems that existed because of attempts to work around the actual problem. If the actual hard problem had been solved, no cruft would have been needed.
Well it crashed my browser (Chrome 6 on W7) and caused me to not read your post, might want to rethink it as it ruins any attempt at using your site.
It is not in any way an industry standard to allow employees to use personal devices to access sensitive corporate data. In fact, doing so would automatically fail a security audit in a lot of large businesses.
If you think your refusal makes them sad, do you think you have a kind of telepathy? Isn't believing you control the outside world with your mind an indication of schizophrenia?
Concrete example -- Slide's acquisition:

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/g/a/2010/08/06/...

The later investors just barely made their money back, so the employee options were (probably) worthless as well. Google issued new retention to make up for the fact that the employees got squashed, but not every acquirer is so generous.
Unfortunately their FAQ shows that they don't ship outside of Japan.
You'd have to use a buying service like white rabbit express to act as a middleman, and though I don't know how much such services cost, would likely lower the value proposition.
Your argument is principled but not very pragmatic.

When a potential employer gives you anything they consider "significant" equity (ie, worth mentioning as a major part of your comp plan), they are implicitly discounting your salary to make up for it. If you accept their offer, you have given them salary flexibility without receiving consideration.

In reality, information is very much something that negotiating parties exchange. But, I agree that you should reasonably expect enough information to value your equity if equity is a major part of your comp. All I'm really saying is, make it clear to your counterparty that the lack of information about your equity is raising your negotiating floor. Which, logically, it must.

But I am also specifically not saying, "offer 5k off your salary in exchange for valuation information".

If you expect interns to do meaningful work, you should pay them something. It does not have to be money. Room and board is a great starting point. Is it full time internship? Then either add a small stipend or at least feed them

Beer is also a great motivator too. In general, have a fully stocked fridge and your intern will come to work happy and more likely to produce great stuffs.

sorry I do not understand: who is in charge of importing the data anyway, if not the gatekeeper?

Also, i mean that the difference with forking source code is that you can work on something that will not get accepted into the mailine, but is useful to you, or your organization.

It does not seem to me that you can have a private wikipedia to which you refer people, it would be useless. Same with forks, if an officially blessed fork does not exist, you get anarchy and all of them become unreliable, cfr the rails foreign key plugins for reference: when strong active and clear leadership miss, projects fade into failure.

OTOH if you just want "easy merge" that does not seem to replace the gatekeeper, you just made him more visibile.

But if I am missing soemthing, I'd be happy to understand :)
