Companies in the US don't advertise pay ranges, but they are easily Google-able, people have friends, Glassdoor is a thing, etc.

A junior at Facebook will make ~160k/year, someone good with ~5 years experience (at FB) will make ~300k/year.

Not even in trials yet. GRAIL is running a 100K person trial, to read out next year. Also, not one paper showing this kind of prediction in the clinic, which GRAIL, freenome, Guardant etc all have.

> Higher minimum wage is a subsidy for tech companies though

By which mechanism?
A subnet (i.e. a layer 2 network) always gets a /64 in IPv6; so the actual address space available for layer 3 routing is 64 bits.

The point of this ridiculously large space is that it makes routing tables smaller, because topologically-near areas can be given common prefixes without worrying about address exhaustion.
Okay, that explains that trend, but wow. We actually managed to come up with something arguably more obtuse than an acronym (and they're hardly the most friendly of things)

This is a one-time pad. Given a ciphertext D it's trivial to come up with a key K that "decrypts" D to whatever plaintext P you want (K = D XOR P). This is why one-time pads are immune to brute-force search.

We don't currently have a comparison with SeaweedFS. For the record, we have been developping Garage for almost two years now, and we hadn't heard of SeaweedFS at the time we started.

To me, the two key differentiators of Garage over its competitors are as follows:

- Garage contains an evolved metadata system that is based on CRDTs and consistent hashing inspired by Dynamo, solidly grounded in distributed system's theory. This allows us to be very efficient as we don't use Raft or other consensus algorithms between nodes, and we also do not rely on an external service for metadata storage (Postgres, Cassandra, whatever) meaning we don't pay an additionnal communication penalty.

- Garage was designed from the start to be multi-datacenter aware, again helped by insights from distributed system's theory. In practice we explicitly chose against implementing erasure coding, instead we spread three full copies of data over different zones so that overall availability is maintained with no degradation in performance when one full zone goes down, and data locality is preserved at all locations for faster access (in the case of a system with three zones, our ideal deployment scenario).
Hey a web site that informs me about the most efficient warez sites. How well thought of them to produce that for me!

That's not what I said. Don't make shit up.

I said that one cannot rule out NSA sitting on an RSA weakness merely because it's not mentioned in the Snowden document dump.

Question about the third party doctrine. If I hand google drive an encrypted file, do I have a reasonable expectation of the privacy wrt the decrypted data?
I am conflicted by this. On the one hand the EE in me is excited to see how technology is making our lives easier by allowing us to spend less time on mundane tasks. On the other hand I have this nagging feeling about all this e-waste. I think about all the electrical components being used for a device that has a single use and is likely (at this price point) will be very disposable

Just taking a moment to enjoy that the above quote would have sounded exactly "like the future" to childhood me, and yet is both true and how I live my life today.
For an interesting perspective on this, take a look at The Fog of War with Robert S. McNamara. He contrasts the firebombing of Tokyo with the use of nuclear weapons, among a variety of other topics.

Are you putting words in OP's mouth? There's a big difference between slacking off and having an inherently slow job.
I'm sure that is correct.
What do you think is the right way to cover health care costs? Here some options:
1. Using corporate tax paid by organizations.
2. Using income tax paid by individuals.
3. Independently from taxes - via private insurance.
4. Using whatever tax a state get through with.

I'm interested in your opinion (also other ideas you might have).

I think taxes should have a specific purpose. Surely CO2 and noise tax are not enough to cover a minimum state infrastructure. VAT should be the only general purpose tax though.
Because sometimes projects are complicated and require lots of business knowledge, and the project manager may be managing multiple projects.

The idea of a "secretary" is not a bad one for high performing teams.
Boo. You're mad that someone wants a lowish paying tech job where they can finish their work quickly then not be bothered? There are a lot of those jobs. Most mildly successful companies that have 20+ year devs working at the same place in the same role for about the same pay are those jobs. That is the backbone of the dev world.

Don't be upset because someone rejects the idea of spending countless hours of their life building software.
That should be solvable by ongoing control and requiring additional prepayment for inevitable cleanup if new estimates are higher.

And yes, there is risk of treating mining company of money making machine and wasting money for something else.

If you know anything about java you'd know that it has max heap settings that are a command line option. Pretty much all java command line options, GC ergonomics incl are there. I have been using eclipse with an increased heap (and over tuned) since 2006 - modify eclipse.ini
Any App can access it.

By AGB's the Apps are required to not abuse it.

But there is a long track record of Apps which where clearly found to abuse it, and given that finding so requires advanced skills most which do where probably not found. A well known example was if I remember correctly TickTock.

Furthermore abusing the id (literally braking the developers app store AGBs/contract) has rarely any consequences. Apps are often not even temporary removed from the app store.
I view my side projects as the main work, and anything else as merely a way of supporting them. Also, I have enough side projects that if I lose interest in one I can switch to another.
Why can't programmers work as contractors from their location before filing for their H1B's? Yes, hiring process has to change. The companies those who have distributed teams have figured this out already.
Anecdotally, whenever I’ve read all 16 descriptions on a site, only one has ever “felt” like me. I’ve never done it blind (reading the descriptions without knowing the types), but each one does come across as distinctive enough that they can’t just be accused of being Barnum phrases.

Another quirk is that the only people who are going to advocate for these tests are those for who felt their own results were highly descriptive and meaningful to them. So they’re useful in that personal sense, one can point to a few paragraphs of text and say “look, this describes how I think and see the world, read this if you want to understand me better”. To me that undeniably has utility, even if it’s only for a minority of the population (assuming most people sit somewhere in the middle of the bell curves and therefore don’t identify that strong with any of that types).
That's illegal. They can't throw you out even when the contract run out unless they are moving in themselves.
Presenting both options on equal terms is hard to measure, Apple is calling it "Tracking" when other (Facebook's) advertising networks do it, but they are calling it "Personalized Ads" when their advertising network does it.

Apple doesn't mind if users turn off the data feed to Facebook, but obviously they don't want users disabling the same data feed to their advertising network.
Synapse is relatively RAM heavy because it leans a lot on in-memory caches to speed up DB access, as the DB schema isn't particularly intelligent and the fastest way to get it up and running was to slap caches everywhere. In the past, it could also spike RAM (which python then tends not to release back to the OS) when doing complicated merge operations of complex rooms, but this has largely been solved in the last few releases. The next generation of servers (Dendrite, Conduit, Construct) use way less RAM, having built without the time constraints (and now maintenance constraints) that impact Synapse.

Separately, it's true that Matrix intrinsically uses more resources than XMPP, because Matrix's architecture is one of replicating and persisting conversation history and state between servers, rather than passing messages. And this simply involves much more data and processing than just relaying messages between sets of users.
The Raspberry Pi 400 is almost there. You wouldn't always get a VDU with a micro back in the day, either, so it's pretty close to what many of us had. Plugs into a TV, so it's a very similar experience.

Tock accepted the fraudulent charge. They should be on the hook. That's where the interface goes wrong; a reliable restaurant is clearly the lowest risk piece of the chain, they shouldn't be extending the app a line of credit.

As a user of technology, I want the exact same thing. I'll do research to build a PC, or install a new OS, and tinker with it until it works to my satisfaction. Then, I never want to touch the internals again and I want them to just work. I get very upset when my product stops working.

Same for cars, cell phones, computers, etc.

As software devs, it's our job to make this possible for users.
Amusingly, there are modern analogues. Word processors were harder for many people to use than typewriters, at first, and those were harder to use than secretaries. Operating a personal computer was harder than assigning a task to the computing department.

We got over those things because those technologies eventually made most of us more efficient. I do my own programming and typing.

But there are still people who have other people do those things. The thing that probably got the Senators to use dial phones was the realization that they didn't want the operator listening to their conversations. Today they probably all have burner phones. But I doubt that Senators do their own typing, and they probably still use a secretary to make official phone calls for them.
Thanks! I had a dial phone growing up and we would often just use the same hand to both hold the handset and dial the phone (just stick one finger out a little bit while holding the handset and use it to dial).
They are not executed in parallel though, only asynchronously.
It seems like common sense, but it's so difficult to do sometimes. I agree completely.

When I first started learning Linux for example, I didn't just learn the commands I needed to do certain things, I tackled everything. I spent months and months learning everything I could about it. I bought a giant Linux book and went from cover to cover. I learned about things I would never use (and probably still haven't).

I pushed myself to recompile the kernel even though I didn't need to. Then I did it probably 50 more times that month. No joke. Crashed my system. Rebuilt it. Rinse, repeat.

After laying down that foundation in the 90s, I've kept up on it but Linux is so very "easy" for me. Setting things up and getting work done is extremely intuitive, far more so than it is in Windows or OSX. So when people ask me why I prefer it I tell them it's a personal preference because it's so easy for me, and I even I forget that foundation I laid.

I have taken on other pursuits the same way, such as development but I notice any technology that I half ass learn just to get stuff done.. is hard. Sometimes I wish I had enough time in my adult life to build such a strong foundation in something like.. JavaScript for example. And I bet if I added up the time I spent struggling in the beginning I would have been able to do just that.

But yeah, long story short this is absolutely the best way to learn something. Build that trunk.
Certainly, some people help the surveilance because they want to fight terrorism.

But the people that designed it would have designed something that actually helps fighting terrorism if that was the goal.
> To be fair, If it gets to the point where they are executing arbitrary code in the openssh process, your key is already compromised.

This. Exactly.

The cynical side of me thinks its useless without high quality video content, which AOL lacks. The greatest video ad tech sucks if you don't have the brand name sponsors, but those are only attracted to higher quality content.
Isn’t the “flat earth” thing a bunch of talented trolls who captured an army of gullible idiots? I can understand why there is a population of people so willing to believe government conspiracy theories — the government has perpetrated so many sociopathic conspiracies from Tuskegee to Mossadegh to PRISM that it’s proven willing to commit arbitrary amounts of evil. With an entity like that it’s not too hard to convince
someone that they’re lying about something small like the Flat Earth.
Unfortunately, many of them do it on their own without any external influence, even coming from good families, consider it exciting and are proud of it. Rebellious teenager phase (exploration/exploitation), not realizing what's the likely outcome, then coping with consequences using drugs/alcohol/crazy behavior later when their beauty disappears. It should be regulated the same way as alcohol consumption and every effort made to prevent kids and susceptible teenagers from finding it online if we want any kind of good future for kids.
I wouldn't undervalue it: you're getting 1tb/user of OneDrive, for the year.

That makes it easily the best deal in cloud storage for personal use, if you have multiple members in your family and want to use Office.
Change I guess. If enough people give up their landlines the economics of it will alter and the rest of us will be forced to follow whether our choice or not. Perhaps 5g won't have enough bandwidth for everyone at once. Still perhaps it will be better, certainly different.
Kapten and Bolt already exist, and give you access to substantially the same pool of drivers. Maybe some drivers are on Uber but not one of the others; that will change very quickly if Uber are banned. There's also Addison Lee, who have their own drivers, but offer a similar experience.

This tunnel vision of only seeing one provider of a new but fundamentally commodity service is interesting. It reminds me a lot of how Git and MySQL took off - people encountered them, thought, "oh, that's great, i'll use that", and never stopped to think if there might be better alternatives.
lmao, so I just ran this idea by my girlfriend and she said "yeah its good but there would be trolls, I would just put hideous women with hot guys, and vice versa" - so, not so easy to succeed at (also, what a catch my girl is :P)
What temps you are getting? Are you looking tdie? Did you update bios? I am having 40~ tdie on 1950x with noctua air. (Even I clocked, disabled dynticks, have lot of pcie device and using quad channel). i think noctua is still competitive with water cooling on TR. I would recommend renew thermal paste, have a room inside of case, check negative/positive pressure and go through again your bios settings i.e. prevent clocking on load

> A rootkit is a stealthy type of software, typically malicious, designed to hide the existence of certain processes or programs from normal methods of detection

These are the primary characteristic of a rootkit. To wit, from that same article:

> Rootkit detection is difficult because a rootkit may be able to subvert the software that is intended to find it. Detection methods include using an alternative and trusted operating system, behavioral-based methods, signature scanning, difference scanning, and memory dump analysis. Removal can be complicated or practically impossible, especially in cases where the rootkit resides in the kernel; reinstallation of the operating system may be the only available solution to the problem.[2] When dealing with firmware rootkits, removal may require hardware replacement, or specialized equipment.

These problems are what rootkits are associated with. The backdoored SSH described in the paper does not qualify. Detecting it is fairly straightforward, and on its own it makes no attempt to hide any programs that it spawns. EDIT: further, as described it makes no efforts to avoid removal.

> enable continued privileged access to a computer

If you strip away the rest of the definition and only look at this part, then by your definition the vanilla SSH server is a rootkit.
> I guess because of Snowden penalty on HN

There hasn't been any such penalty for many months. There used to be a weak penalty, which started during the period when there were hundreds of NSA/Snowden stories. But our intention was always to remove that once the quantity normalized, and so we did.
I'm going to go ahead and assume you're being farcical. :)

The sad thing is that a lot of them probably believe they are the good guys, and that they'll be able to clearly tell when they start crossing a line towards The Dark Side. We all live in our own bubbles, after all.

If you've never seen The Boxtrolls, it's a moderately funny newish kids movie, but some of the parts that I enjoyed the most about that movie were the scenes with the two evil henchmen. I enjoyed it because they'd convinced themselves that they were the good guys, fighting the good fight and all that. But as the movie goes on their perspective slowly changes as they become more aware of the impact they're having on the protagonists.

I firmly believe there are very few healthy people out there who honestly want to watch the world burn, we should all be aware of the impact we're having on those around us. It's easy to write off an opposing side as evil do-er, but in all likelihood they see themselves as fighting the good fight just as much as you do.
Geeklist is more for bragging than useful project showcasing. Coderwall seems interesting.
Tesla as a whole makes you realize how much the regulators depend on companies fearing them. Along comes a company that dgaf and they are doing whatever they can get away with, so far no or very delayed consequences
Let's do a worst case calculation and assume you are a women aged 30.

The infection fatality rate of Covid for this age and gender is 0.01 % or 1 in 10k (based on seroprevalence data not test data [1]).

The fatality rate for the AZ vaccine in Germany is 1 in 200k, so you are 20 times more likely to die from Covid.

You are correct that there is (and always will be) some uncertainty around the risks of the vaccine, but the same is true for Covid. Interestingly the vaccine is only appr. 6 months older than Covid (Nov 2019 vs Apr 2020) but more people have had Covid than vaccines. Still, uncertainties around Covid remain, e.g. we don't know the prevalence and severity of long Covid.

I found the news of Intel releasing this chip quite encouraging. If they have enough capacity on their 10nm node to put it into production then they have tamed many of the problems that were holding them back. My hope is that Gelsinger's renewed attention to engineering excellence will allow the folks who know how to iron out a process to work more freely than they did under the previous leadership.

That said, fixing Intel is a three step process right? First they have to get their process issues under control (seems like they are making progress there). Second, they need to figure out the third party use of that process so that they can bank some some of revenue that is out there from the chip shortage. And finally, they need to answer the "jelly bean" market, and by that we know that "jelly bean" type processors have become powerful enough to be the only processor in a system so Intel needs to play there or it will lose that whole segment to Nvidia/ARM.
My G3: SIM card reader error. I had inserted the SIM card once, at the AT&T store when I bought it. It was days out of the one year warranty and LG wouldn't help at all.

Wife's G3: Video chip error. Same source as the above failure: solder fails. Broken solder joints on BGA chips and card readers. Hers was just within warranty, but they had no G3s to offer, so she was given a G4. Guess what happened to the G4? Same failure. No further help.

In contrast, my Samsung Galaxy Victory from 2012 still works fine (carried it for two years). My Samsung S8+ works fine after carrying it nearly four years. My Moto G3 works fine after five years and having carried it for two.

The problem is LG. Good riddance.
