worry not. people in their teens and 20s are still experimenting -- it's just that the venues are different.

i love Phrack's old-time look-and-feel, but yeah, with a little work they could make it a lot more accessible.
Here's a novel idea: Instead of a summons, how about the police calmly but firmly explain the law to them and ask them to leave? If they won't leave, THEN issue them a summons.
I don't think the causality (hacking->popularity) runs that way. If anything, I'd think it runs the other way (popularity of the Wii made the Wiimote available in every game store and cheap for hacking on.)

However, the popularity of the Wii would seem to have been due to it being novel and fun.
Doubtful, they're certainly not finished with advertising for a start. Then there are plenty more premium features they can provide to businesses looking get the most out of twitter.

Any one of the startups build around twitter is fair game, and they're certainly not going to think twice about eating some startup's lunch.
Might want to install FaceTime for Mac as well ...
Gosh, it sure would be nice if the actual scientific results weren't locked behind a paywall...if I paid taxes in the EU I'd be pissed.

Know that feeling :)
I think providing a lightweight action->result cycle is just as or more likely to engage people as a process that requires a deeper involvement before there is any chance of a result.
Replying to myself as HN won't let me reply to the post by 'nailer

> If there is a specific network being leveraged by the US government to attack someone else, and the owner of the network is not taking steps to prevents its misuse, then yes, of course.

We have documented evidence of GCHQ doing man-on-the-side attacks against visitors of LinkedIn and slashdot.org. So are you currently blocking the prefixes of LinkedIn and SourceForge, Inc. on your networks? Or are you aware of any specific acts of these companies to prevent this from being possible in the future?

I worry about mass surveillance and national firewalls no matter where they come from, but I don't think balkanising the internet is a good response.
On the aforementioned image, on none of my monitors do the pills look anything except an identical shade of grey.
The trick there is that there is no such thing as "real-mode windows applications". The 16-bit ABI is essentially same regardless of whether windows run in real mode or protected mode.
> People do stupid things every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

While you are correct in pointing out the logical fallacy, there have been several examples of highly likely false-flag cyber attacks lately. The Sony hack is another example, the result of which was the exact opposite of what the state actor alleged to have done the attack wanted.

"Cyber attacks" are a great platform for false flag attacks because it's easy to obtain servers or DDOS drones in any country.

I'd say a good indicator of strategy like this going on is when a defacing attack is accompanied by targeted data breach. Chances are the data breach was the goal, and the defacing the smoke screen.

Many HN readers could stage a cyber attack that would be initially linked to North Korea or China with a few hours of reading/research.
"Hello I am developer in java how do I use library can you write me the code, thank you"
It was 10,000 BTC for 2 pizzas: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=137.msg1195#msg1195. One bitcoin used to buy you 0.0002 pizzas. Now it buys 1600.0000 pizzas.

It's called hyperdeflation.
Twitter talked past the sale. If they had just said 'We banned this account.' we all would have moved on.

Instead they justified it with some very, very weak and flimsy interpretation of his last posts. I am no Trump supporter and I want him out of office asap, but Twitter managed an unforced error on the simplest layup ever.
Intriguing! I have a marketing background and currently stuck in customer support role.
I also did Edx CS50! I also started freecodecamp (Javascript course) and have been working on a chromedriver bot to practice and learn.

Did you do all the freecodecamp courses?
Does the author have something backwards or do I?

P(RateOfSuccess|Successes) = Beta(α,β)

"In Bayesian terms, C3PO's estimate of the true rate of success given observed data is referred to as the likelihood."

BUT we know likelihood(rateofsuccess|data) = probability(data|rate of success).

I am confused.
It sounds like you already know the answer.

My 2 cents is to back yourselves for another month or two, keeping it lean. Use the time to improve the viability of the business, but also to shop for other offers. A bit of competition will increase that valuation and let you assess the quality of advice and commitment you'll get.

Alternatively sell him 15% of the company at the valuation he is offering now, and use that money to keep going until the next round at a higher valuation based on more mature business results.
Yes, I agree there's an annoyance factor. In all honesty, what do you think should happen when someone isn't paying a debt they owe? Can you think of a reasonable way to get hold of someone who's refusing your phone calls that doesn't involve potentially annoying friends and family?
Only if the reward is more than the cost of breeding the rat.

I grew up in Saskatchewan, Canada. While I missed out, my father always talked about turning in gopher tails for money. My recollection is that my older brother was able to do this, and he got $1 per tail. At that price, even in the 1970s, I doubt you could have made any real money raising gophers.
Unless they release full-featured, official drivers, how do they think such drivers get written?
I have unusually competent users, so the support load for Tarsnap isn't very high. I have a deliberate policy of providing the same level of support to everybody even if I know they're only spending a few cents per month -- not just because it's what I would want if I was a customer, but also because I've seen many many instances of "you provide really good support for Tarsnap, now I feel I can go ahead and upload all the rest of my data" turning very small customers into very big customers.
A sphere-frustum check is a lot cheaper than a box-frustum check. The spherical test only has to check the distance of a single point to the frustum, a box intersection test is much more complex.

There are some false positives, but as with many things in game development 'close enough' usually works pretty well.

If you're really concerned with efficiency you should look into other data structures than an octree. Octrees are a nightmare for cache performance (like most other tree based structures) and cache utilization is usually the bottleneck on modern CPUs.

If you're interested in the subject this book (http://realtimecollisiondetection.net/books/rtcd/) covers everything extremely well.
I believe you are missing my point: I am not a virtue-based ethics. Edit: Forgive me if I'm missing your point.

I am a Bible-based ethicist, the Bible originated with God, Who never changes; ergo, His morals (or ethics, as you wish) are immutable. Those ethics have been revealed to us via the Bible and our consciences. That's where my ethics originate. (That doesn't mean or imply my execution of them is perfect.)

Call it deo-ethics, if you will, but it doesn't fall into virtue-based ethics (as defined by the Wikipedia article, if you want another definition, please provide it).
No, there's a more intrinsic difference.

Resistor:
V = I R

Memristor:
V = I M(q)

The memristance is itself a function of the integral of I, and that function is arbitrary.
No revenue yet. Our first campaign launched yesterday, and one of our sites is seeing the first hits trickle in now.
It's trivially easy to quit your job and start coding for yourself. I've done it myself. This whole website is pretty much dedicated to that.

The hard part is getting people to pay you money for it, which is what defines "commercial software project". And in my experience, it's harder to get customers to pay you money than employers. Why would a team of previously unemployed be able to sell their services or their code to customers when they can't sell it to employers? And if they do manage to sell it to customers - what distinguishes them from a startup?
I'm not talking about upload/download, I'm talking about 109 gigs of movies on my 120/160GB SSD drive on both my home/work laptops, respectively. Or is everyone else walking around with multi-TB spinning drives in their laptops?
A good dock is an elegant and useful piece of technology. Everyone I work with uses them. I have two external monitors, four USB devices, and a headset connected to mine. Expecting users to plug and unplug that many devices every time is just stupid.
Coupled with vim or emacs, the iPhone, PlainText.app is nice, simple way to read and edit files on the go.
> do you really have any expectation that another business using the word "face" for a product in the realm of online communication and social behavior should be allowed to conduct business?

Of course they should. "Face" is a common English word, it's not as if facebook invented it.
Getting a visa is definitely easier than getting a passport. My advise is to look for a good employer, and have a relocation agency take care of the rest. They know what to do and know the intimacies of - e.g. - tax benefits you might be eligible for.

The interview improved my understanding of our civilization's current situation. I was aware of Hypernormalization we have been feeling in Turkey, and thought that it is similar to Soviet Society, but I didn't understand that the reason for the static nature of the world in general was pattern analysis.

I should have suspected this. I used to spend my time painting and worked as a graphic designer. A couple months ago I changed my role in the company and have been working as a copywriter/editor. Even though for the past couple months, I have been spending all my time devouring books about writing, and understanding this new behemoth, the internet still suggest me things only about art. I have changed, but the algorithms didn't catch up yet. I wonder how long will it take until the algorithms catch up.

This was a major change in my life, and I can easily see the lag, but I wonder how does the algorithms that recommend stuff to me guides my thinking, especially on subjects smaller in scale. How does the spiral of recommendations change our perception of the world? Moreover, do the big tech companies create this systems consciously? Is there a plot dividing the individuals into manageable groups?

Definitely the machines don't look at us as a narrative, so I think as long as my searches and inventory of items related to art is bigger than the ones about writing, the world will continue treating me as an artist.
I think he fears more that Amazon (or other big tech companies) are smashed into smaller entities.
Would be great if the docs was mobile friendly.
1. Find a job with an employer who will sponsor your visa.
2. Buy a plane ticket.
I think a lot of it is not by design. Writing laws is hard, especially tax laws. Companies have incredible resources to find loopholes they can use. If they get patched they'll just find another one. The problem is that you'd prefer easy laws that anyone can follow, but those will always have loopholes. The more provisions you add to close loopholes, the harder it'll be for small companies and individuals to remain compliant.

I don't think any of us here could come up with a tax code that cannot be exploited. And of course large companies will exploit any loophole, all of us do when filing our taxes.

Maybe the problem is the existence of such powerful companies. Once you have them, it's very hard for politicians to stay on top of them.

To be clear, I'm not saying that there's no corruption or politicians favoring large companies. But most loopholes used by companies tend to stem from good intentions. It's like in IT security, there are backdoors but most bugs still have a benign origin.
Two minutes for paratroopers and fifteen minutes for tanks.
>I did not use it as a replacement for "peace officer". I know what I said and I meant it

That seems to be quite clearly the intent.

Anecdotally around my region people refer to corrupt police officers as pigs, so when someone says something derogatory about 'pigs', it's colloquially understood as "the violent bad ones that extort and over-step, not the ones that help you find your dog."
I'm not agreeing with either you or the OP but in answer to your question: Being able to watch reusable space rockets.
James Hamilton (the Amazon VP linked to in another comment) also mentions lack of ECC in his appreciation of SeaMicro; he links to his own take last year, referring to studies with numbers: "You Really do Need ECC Memory in Servers"

And in the UK the price has gone up to £649 for the base model. The last version was £510. That is ridiculous.

Mac mini was the cheapest option for iPhone and iPad app submission as fas as I knew. Now it just got a lot more expensive to do so.
I suggest you shorten your list just a bit. Then the interviewer can show you the way out much sooner.

Although some of your "requirements" are perfectly reasonable, I would never hire you. Good engineering is all about compromise and working with reality.

Despite what they show on the news, the situation on Earth is actually improving each year.

Each and every day things are getting better. Do not fear.
It's not as though Donald Trump was tweeting about his favourite national holidays since the election and some lone wolf got the wrong idea.

Donald Trump has consistently used his Twitter account to demonise the people that were in the building that was attacked. He suggested that the Democratic Party, in coalition with a supposed 'deep state', systematically rigged an election. He posted and retweeted outrageous conspiracies about how these forces worked to steal the election and abrogate the American constitution.

More than that, he used his Twitter account to promote the very rally that preceded the act of insurrection.

> I hope the Democrats, and even more importantly, the weak and ineffective RINO section of the Republican Party, are looking at the thousands of people pouring into D.C. They won’t stand for a landslide election victory to be stolen. @senatemajldr @JohnCornyn @SenJohnThune

> Washington is being inundated with people who don’t want to see an election victory stolen by emboldened Radical Left Democrats. Our Country has had enough, they won’t take it anymore! We hear you (and love you) from the Oval Office. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

> The “Surrender Caucus” within the Republican Party will go down in infamy as weak and ineffective “guardians” of our Nation, who were willing to accept the certification of fraudulent presidential numbers!

> How can you certify an election when the numbers being certified are verifiably WRONG. You will see the real numbers tonight during my speech, but especially on JANUARY 6th. @SenTomCotton Republicans have pluses & minuses, but one thing is sure, THEY NEVER FORGET!

> Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth!

> “Georgia election data, just revealed, shows that over 17,000 votes illegally flipped from Trump to Biden.” @OANN This alone (there are many other irregularities) is enough to easily “swing Georgia to Trump”. #StopTheSteal @HawleyMO @SenTedCruz @Jim_Jordan

> The number of cases and deaths of the China Virus is far exaggerated in the United States because of @CDCgov’s ridiculous method of determination compared to other countries, many of whom report, purposely, very inaccurately and low. “When in doubt, call it Covid.” Fake News!

I stand corrected.

I thought the whole point of WASM was that it was sandboxed by the browser. Is that not the case, or is it just poorly done?
Everyone is enfranchised but some people are more enfranchised than others.
You can (and should, I'm slightly surprised it's so uncommon "even on HN") look up the actual transistor density on Wikipedia - Intel are still stuck on 37.5 MTr/mm^2, TSMC cutting edge is much more than that and Intel 10nm is about 100 MTr/mm^2. So the actual number is between 3 and 5 depending on if you compare with AMD on Apple.

You have to realize that all the fabs (and Intel) have multiple nodes on the go at any given time, the progression isn't completely serial - they've basically failed this generation but that doesn't mean that they won't be back up there if they nail the next one.
AMD spun out global foundries, and they're not competitive at the bleeding edge today. I fear the fab-only part of Intel would be the same.
This is outsourcing tyranny to "private" industry.

This is an unexpected paraphrase of David Wheeler: "All problems in political science can be solved by another level of indirection".

Conservatives may have the personalities of dented wastebaskets, but they really haven't been as monstrous as what's on the horizon.
The next step, I think is to ask yourself: if the problem cannot be solved, which world do you want to live in: the one where (a)'s downside comes true or (b)'s? I'd rather (a)'s.
80% of Republicans believe that Biden won through fraud. Why? It's literally because Trump just started saying so. I don't think this is about Trump -- I think that there is a large group voters who are only comfortable if they are in thrall to someone (despite their constant harping about "freedom"), and Trump is the man of their moment. This is not about "dissatisfaction with the status quo" -- I'm not talking about the people who said "damn, our guy lost and we still haven't gotten rid of the Mexicans, we gotta run a better campaign next time." Those are logically sound individuals who are just ideological opponents, nothing that a society can't handle.

Let's separate the ideas of "what is the situation" and "how do we resolve the situation." When my son was a toddler he once broke down into a complete meltdown because I told him he couldn't ever be an iguana, which he had seen in a book and decided he wanted to be. Obviously, I didn't find a way to turn him into an iguana. There are ways of calming down people throes of a mental episode without creating the reality that exists only in their minds. Sure, pop a proverbial pacifier in their mouths.

I also do think that the left in particular has gotten a little too soft in terms of "every life has value." The most prominent place is in death penalty cases, where they try to avert the executions of the most heinous murderers you can imagine. The fact is, not every life has positive value to society. If someone is severely damaging society, whether it's by stabbing women in an alley or by other mechanisms, the utilitarian optimum is often for them to die. When a horde of terrorists assaults the seat of the federal government to overturn the lawfully elected government, it's not just one Ashli Babbitt that should be shot -- 75% of them should be, with the other 25% left to go spread the news that this behavior is not tolerated and you will suffer extreme consequences for attempting it.
This is perhaps misleading, and not just because IQ tests have known social/cultural biases.The same data will likely show similar disparities in IQ between other complimentary groups, e.g. between children with well-educated and less-educated parents or even between boys and girls.

I remind myself of how far I've come since the days I was a clueless adolescent always thinking about "starting my own business."

You are missing my point: that the language isn't the key part here, its the programmer. If a programmer doesn't adhere to some sane formating and code structure, it won't matter what language they write in, the result will be spaghetti.

Just because we're the only species that has this trait it doesn't mean it isn't natural. Bats are the only ones that use echo-location, but that doesn't make it more or less natural. It's simply adapting to the environment.
Eh. Call it a bozo filter. The dev forums are quite filled with people but they are all actually discussing. I can't remember ever seeing spam.
This sort of debate always struck me as nonsense. If our actions are not derived of our own free will, but just exist as a small part of nature, then if you follow that thread far enough you’ll understand that all reason and truth would also be invalid, being just the effect to some coincidental cause. This incidentally would render theories about the subject of free will invalid as well.

Thus if there is no free will there is no way for us to know it.
They could easily clone & kill the technology itself. The problem comes from the fact that e-ink is worthless unless it is attached to a device with really strong vendor support. And any vendor worth a damn doesn't want to be the target of a billion dollar lawsuit.

So the choice is between an overpriced device from a major player, or a cheap device with next to no support from a no-name vendor.
