Chinese govt is telling the world with this attack that:
(1) GFW can interfere with incoming traffic.
(2) GFW can f* with people all around the world.
(3) You can't block a Chinese cyber attack simply by cutting off Chinese users.
(4) The Chinese govt is a d*head.
I flipped through an interesting book many years ago - I can't recall the title, but it was written by a medical doctor who spent many years poking around the phenomenon on a case-by-case basis. He was more concerned with treatment than science, so no large scale studies, but there was a wealth of anecdotes. It may possibly have been "The Food Allergy Book"[0] (the Amazon description makes it sound at bit nutrition-woo ish, and there was a certain element of that, but his approaches were actually scientific with blind tests and controlling out variables and so on).

There wasn't really much focus on "root" cause, but there were some interesting patterns. Two stand out in my memory: excessive consumption of a particular thing seemed to instil the "allergy", and once present would be triggered even if the "allergen" were administered intravenously without the patient's knowledge. In one case a man who had access to cheap eggs had them daily in large quantities for years - when finally seeking treatment for some very general symptom (migraines?), the hospital took him off his egg-diet. Thereafter, even the tiniest amount of intravenously administered egg would cause drastic symptoms (what symptoms I can't recall either, but may even have been as strange as violent episodes).

I realize this isn't the rigorous science you were looking for, and I apologise for the vagueness of my memory, but if it is indeed the same thing your wife experienced you can probably rule out "learned" correlations.

Historically you lose your right to free speech when you start making death threats.

If you've read the news recently you'd see a lot of very violent stuff being thrown at people. Internet or not, people are not allowed to say they are going to rape your corpse and harass you over and over. So "using the State to bludgeon the offensive speakers" seems like a reasonable reaction to these people.

Some of the stuff (that bomb threat twitter thing) is a bit much, but there's a limit to freedom of speech.
Hopefully this thread won't degenerate into anti-transgender comments like so many others today. Obviously Manning has needed mental health treatment for quite some time. Hopefully he can get what he needs while in prison. It's just too bad that prison is where he has to go to get help.

It's like saying you wouldn't use cars that run on water because you'd have to change your car fleet.

It's an investment. The question is not how much you save this year, it's when will you actually save money.
Yes. As an industry, we're not very good at recognizing the great things people do. We tend to focus solely on mistakes. It's not easy to admit failure, and if we want it to continue we should recognize the effort it takes.
The term doesn't become useless, but it becomes non-usable where laws and morality are concerned. Should we experiment on cognitively impaired people because they are less intelligent than a dog or a dolphin? How about month-old babies?
Lack of awareness. No one knows what's a phone OS here.

This is just anecdotal evidence from my personal experience, I could be wrong.
Sure, but it's not crazy that some left-wing groups oppose other left-wing groups. It would be a vast oversimplification to act as if "left-wing" is a monolithic, homogeneous group.
> What is a game if not an expression of an idea?

A set of rules. Such rules are potentially eligible for patent protection. They are not eligible for copyright protection.

> On one hand you can say that games are not protected. Tetris however is. And has successfully been defended us such in court.

I suggest you read the actual text of the Mino decision, which rests heavily on visual elements, not gameplay. I also suggest you not put too much stock in the decision of a single district court judge. District court decisions are not binding precedent. Especially ones obviously written by a judge who either doesn't understand what the functional elements of a game are, or was looking for an excuse to find for Tetris.

> The layout and configuration of levels is not an idea.

Those would be assets.
Piketty's argument that capital will grow at a rate significantly faster than GDP should seem weak to pretty much anyone who has ever tried to invest reasonable size capital at a decent return. Think about it. How can returns outpace gdp growth for a very long time ( obviously it can happen over a short time horizon ) ? It would require some kind of magic bean that as an investor, I would love to get a hold of
When it comes to choosing a website creator, I’m leaning towards Wix or Weebly since they are very flexible. But if you want the cheapest option, go for Weebly. Here is a great review on it - http://www.webbuildersguide.com/website-builders-reviews/wee... . In comparison to other website builders, I personally believe that Weebly is one of the most user-friendly website builders available on the market nowadays.
Just a quick thought from skimming this thread: It seems like there are two issues, radicalism and eccentricity.

Saying that the government may have caused 9/11 is eccentric. It's crazy and "radical" in an uninteresting way, and most intelligent people will ignore it.

But the idea that one shouldn't use Google docs if one values freedom is radical. I think RMS is completely and totally wrong, but the radicalism or apparent impracticality of the idea is not what I object to.

The cheesy campaigns and slogans have elements of both. They are radical ideas presented in an eccentric way. I think the 7 sins stuff, Swindle, etc., are stupid and childish and really have no upside.

But contrary to what the OP seems to suggest, while many people are turned off by radicalism, radicals are influential way out of proportion to what one would be led to expect by making a quick survey of people's negative reactions to them.

It can be hard to separate what's radical and what's merely eccentric. Especially if you're the one trying to figure out how to present radical ideas.
Isn't the solution to the education problem to simply party as hard as you can for four years?
I don't think this guy gets it. Clearly, he has drawn the line at "proprietary software is fine, as long as it's useful to me". To RMS, though, that's not where the line is: he simply refuses to use software he can't tweak or audit. That's not like calling Obama Hitler or saying global warming is a scientific fraud. It's just an ideology, like not driving a car or only eating foods that don't come from animals. Nothing wrong with that, so why all the hate?

This article is sillier than calling the kindle "swindle".
minor nit: i don't think rms is a "Dr.", since he didn't get a Ph.D. (unless he has a secret M.D.)

From wikipedia:
"Stallman then enrolled as a graduate student in physics at MIT, but abandoned his graduate studies while remaining a programmer at the MIT AI Laboratory. Stallman abandoned his pursuit of a doctorate in physics in favor of programming."

perhaps he has an honorary doctorate?
FathomDB was also hit - 438012d3... was also my majorly disrupted AZ, 60dcfab3... was not significantly affected. Not sure about other us-east AZs.

Thanks for pointing out that trick, by the way. Given AWS is exposing this anyway, they might as well just give them friendly aliases so that their status updates don't come across as quite so evasive. Probably they don't even know they're exposing this though!

Perhaps the mapping isn't strictly random but actually load-based. If there are 6 underlying AZs, and Zynga hits 4 of them, then perhaps most other customers would be in the remaining two zones, so it's a 50/50 chance.

I do totally agree that something isn't quite right - AWS status updates do imply they deliberately disabled API calls; perhaps they did that across otherwise unaffected AZs. We'll have to see what the PR department comes up with for the post-mortem.
GPA, sure. School - my Stanford degree got me interviews for decades, regardless of what else I wrote on my resume.
I last used Lotus Notes around 2003, and it didn't even conform to things that had been standard 10-15 years earlier. It felt like going back in time to the 1970s, long before I'd ever used computers.
And yet anandtech writes articles as though "home usees" and "gamers" have a user for these cores, despite benchmarks being the most demanding workloads those users will ever run on these machines.

In the "HEDT" space, the media coverage and forum chitchat is mostly for users who by these cards for decorative purposes, not work purposes. People buying for real work need realistic test measurements on realistic workloads.
Well, for an IPv4 only home router, you don't really need a firewall since the NAT acts as a natural firewall (though even models from the 90s have firewall specific features like fixed port forwarding). Which is why I think some people assume that the absence of NAT will imply the absence of firewall.
My company fixed that by requiring anything data or calculation related to be done in R
I will continue to do this. Like I said,if it is planned use it will be enabled and specific firewall rules will be implemented to allow safe use. Not everyone has same requirements.minimizing attack surface ,reducing admin overhead and being explicit about configuration items are some of my needs. V4 is no different, i almost never enable dhcp and might even disable ARP. V4 happens to just be configured explicitly by default.
Or, make it a silent auction like in charities auctioning off dates. That way the current bid is shown just to message the woman.
There are a couple of reasons.

The Maker system was bootstrapped this way, but now with the release of MCD, the system will be modified so that the Maker corporation's key is revoked and changes to the system will only be able to be made through MKR token governance votes moving forward. [1] When people refer to the "Maker governance", they refer to those decisions that are voted on by holders of the MKR token. In practice in the short term, the Maker corp will still hold a voting majority of MKR, but it's a long term goal that eventually the Maker corporation won't have to exist and the system is totally maintained by the holders of MKR token.

The more important reason though for doing it on the blockchain is reducing technological centralization. Right now, as long as the Ethereum network exists, the Maker system will be on the blockchain and can't be shut down, even if the Maker corporation is dissolved.

US FinCEN has recently set their eyes on stablecoins, declaring that the entities that offer them will need to comply with KYC regulations. [2] By deploying the system on a public blockchain, it's arguable that the US govt will not be able to cease the distribution of Dai itself and will only be able to go after its holders.

Given that for other ACH transfers I'm able to just hand out my routing+account number and that's all that is necessary to complete the transfer. The fact that companies are training people to input their bank username/password on other websites is completely insane, even if some might know to change it afterwards. If a scammy website did this, I'm willing to bet you money they'll change that password faster than you ever could.
I agree that it doesn't dive deep into a lot. It also makes notes of things you don't need to know while you're working through the book. That said, if you just want a basic grasp of what is happening to your code when you run it, this is a good place for that. I don't plan on writing a compiler outside of this book, and I don't think this book directly serves doing that. What it does serve is my curiosity in a compact way.
4B. Not great, not terrible.
Yep. I'm always amazed at how quickly people crap on Uber. In hindsight it's not a particularly revolutionary service. But does everyone remember how much the Taxi system sucked?
You would think Uber Autonomous Vehicles group would do everything they can not to hit pedestrians. Yet according to the NTSB, previous to killing a pedestrian in Arizona Uber had a weak safety culture (https://www.ntsb.gov/news/events/Documents/2019-HWY18MH010-B...).

Even worse, "Pedestrian outside crosswalk not assigned goal of crossing street", "Tracking history not considered when classification changes", "Predicted path depended on object’s goal".

Basically they configured it to run over people who crossed outside a sidewalk.

I would not assume Uber are doing their best. Or, insofar as they define "best", it's "what can we do as quickly as possible with no consideration to what is legal".
Every internet company ever since 2010.

2010s: "We take your security very seriously."

2020s: "We value your privacy."
At the corporate level, Uber has a culture of not complying with orders and doing whatever they want and just paying the fines for doing so (see other Uber-related posts on HN). With that in perspective, it's not surprising they seem to have ignored this.
Can you describe to me how inflation is good for a household? The literature you've probably seen is ex post facto about inflation trying to convince themselves and the world that the inflationary behaviors that were done are "good".

"So every year, your savings get watered down and you lose wealth", is not what one wants to hear.
Yeah just look large enterprises, particularly banks with creaking legacy systems from the 1960s that use COBOL that just refuse to die. The last 20 years might as well not have happened from a backend perspective.
Awesome vids, thanks for the links. And it looks like they're using more DigiPen student ideas again. The gels seemed to be straight out of Tag: https://www.digipen.edu/studentprojects/tag/

The US Constitution is known to have failed. On several levels.

"I'm fully expecting to lose everything I invest"

You'll never get the taxpayers to cover your losses with an attitude like that.

The quantitative finance section on arxiv: http://arxiv.org/archive/q-fin though the papers are quite hard to get into terminology wise.
It could quite possibly cost over a billion dollars to make a provably secure SAP/Salesforce, and it's not a one-time cost since SAP at least is usually customized.
You just unblocked two elder folks in my family. Thank you.
If you wrongly classify an employee as a contractor the IRS will go after you for back payroll taxes. It's not extortion, its collecting taxes you illegally avoided.
But then surely, adding a prayer to St. Isidore of Seville [0] before every release will be better than just the both of them, so three > both > one.

I've recently interacted with a startup where the amount of resources they spend on trying to get them both, is making them blind to the power of one. It's not a pretty sight when all the numbers are tracked, plotted and planned on, yet nothing seems to work.

Court case will answer that.
Data races are undefined behavior, and race conditions are a logic error. Yes, both are bugs, and both are important to fix. But they have (at least to me) different severities.

(Worth noting that data races have a clear, unambiguous definition, and therefore are possible to eliminate through tooling. Race conditions rely on program intent or logic, and are therefore... not really.)

Also, I think it matters, generally, that we are truthful about what Rust prevents and does not prevent.
And general relatively is just the straggler effect because the computation takes longer where mass is concentrated. Empirical evidence the universe is just a large hadoop install.
> the quantitative measures like SAT score had a lot more predictive value than interview/letters of recommendation/essays/etc.

I've also read SAT scores are highly correlated to family income. Family income probably has a huge impact on post university outcomes.
The so called "holistic reviews" were introduced to limit the number of Jewish people admitted to top colleges. See story here:

Breakdown of the first year, which is what 500k will get me (barely):

- Month 1-to-4: Design/Build.
- Month 5: Private beta with 10/20 freelancers.
- Month 6: Start enterprise case-study.
- Month 7: Soft launch for Freelancing.
- MOnth 8-12: Raise next round.

I don't have a detailed breakdown for the Design/Build pahse.
Plenty of legacy code was reimplemented from C++ to Java (a memory-safe language, not unlike Rust) when the latter was released. The ROI is definitely there. But given the scale of that task, it makes sense to pick the lowest-hanging fruit first. AIUI, most of the effort wrt. "oxidation" is now around WebRender, specifically making it the default render backend.
These jobs had their allotted quotas, per team, giving them above >70% utilization in their logical slice of the cluster. E.g. video processing team gets 20,000 nodes globally. They stack (co-locate) their tasks (interpret: set of processes) however they want.

Granted Twitter operated one big shared Mesos+Aurora offering for everything*, the whole cluster high utilization wouldn't give much flexibility to absorb load, or do reasonable capacity planning (which was an entire org in itself) when you own and operate those machines and data centers. I can't comment much on the 20-30% figure given in MesosCon, it's been more than 5 years since I was last privy to these figures.

I'm seven years into working remotely (from home) this week. While I don't miss some of the things the authored mentioned, the pros were greater than the cons since I worked for a company that rented out a snazzy office at CIC in Cambridge, MA. In a CODIV-19-world, I'm not sure I'd ever want to be in those sort of close quarters again, though a change of scenery would be nice!
Not at all. I'm aware that it has the potential to put people off, but sometimes you have to shake people up to get the discussion going. There is actually a huge difference between "forcing people to do something" and merely "asking a question, albeit in a tough way," and people don't really seem to get this difference around here.
I smell an easy study generator: take well-established results from single factors, combine them, and then see the relationship of the results (are they additive, multiplicative, completely at odds with one another, etc.).
On my blog I use "Have a comment? Contact me on Twitter or email me." with links for "Twitter" and "email me".
I personally prefer the more literal translation. I think it keeps the sense of a struggle and achievement as you described.
This seems odd to me. If I'm part of a startup team, do I want to be acquired and end up an employee of the acquiring company? In my case no, I want to take my proceeds and go do something new.
The lead is important, but the real stat is "how many users buy apps?". Symbian has more users than both, but how many of those phones have 3rd party apps on them.
If this is being funded and/or perpetrated by a foreign government with China-like resources, I wonder how much extra capacity they have to expand the attack? Are they throwing everything they have at it now? I kind of doubt that.
That would be the death of Baidu among the Chinese diaspora.
Slight tangent, but, the funny thing about "We're agile" is that it means so many different things to different people.

I've heard people describe themselves that way when they meant "We have no process", "We have a very specific process that we adhere to religiously, that has been billed as agile", and "We have a process that we are constantly trying to improve, through retrospectives and the like to figure out what works and what does not". Only with that latter one has the work seemed to get done on time.
>My takeaway from that was that if you were white, middle class and middle-American suburban, that there was almost nothing you could do distinguish yourself enough to get into the country's top schools.

90% of my graduating class fits that description. Out of a graduating class of 500 I'd say close to 10% of my class got into an Ivy League. Hell we had 9 get into Cornell alone. The 2013 class sent about 5%. It is a public HS but they offered tons of AP/extra curriculars/etc.
Another article on the same site (Blue Jeans Cable) makes the interesting point that some kinds of cable are more expensive not because they are better at reducing signal loss but because they are rated for more fire-resistance for certain kinds of installations.[1] The article points out that more expensive is not always better if by "better" you mean "less likely to distort the signal."

Every document released under FOIA is hand reviewed, unless the document was publicly available anyways. For example, you can get a large number of "The Army's guide to X" and similar documents either from military's website.

In the case of government contractors, the appropriate government agency issues a letter to the contractor. The contractor has the chance to censor almost anything if they consider it a trade secret. There are other reasons for censoring, but the government themselves generally makes those decisions. Contractor's are completely OK with this because they get paid hourly to do the work.
Perhaps web standards & browsers should support it. Most of the reasons why it can be bad are due to it breaking things in certain ways, but that hasn't stopped it from being used. So, add some proper support for it?

Some say it's a dark pattern, but I don't think so. Wouldn't it feel silly if Twitter made you paginate through your feed?
