I think if this story were about migrant workers I would feel differently about it because it would be an entirely different story—it would be about people not being paid much and forced to live in a truck versus a story about somebody being paid a lot and living an alternative lifestyle.

I'm perhaps looking at this differently because I am into the financial independence movement[1], and I also quite like tiny houses. I like the idea of saving as much as you can so you don't have to work for the rest of your life, and I also like the idea of reducing your ecological and physical footprint.

So that's how I'm seeing this story. This guy seems like a "mustachian" more than he seems like a guy forced to live in his car. I don't know how much he gets paid, but I'm certain he could afford an apartment—ridiculously expensive though it may be.

I absolutely agree with you that the housing situation in the Bay area is bonkers, though.

Awesome, especially in black I think. But WebGL still has an aliasing problem, made worse when we introduce movement. It was the same in the watch movement sim on HN a few days ago. Not to take away from the amazing work of the authors, but are there higher quality anti-aliasing options which won't cause my eye to distract to the high-velocity pixel movements on the car's shutlines as it moves along? (Full HD machine - dunno if this issue disappears at HiDPI).

Oh and another thing. PlayCanvas looks great but also looks properly expensive. I'm having to cough some pretty serious dough as a single experimental developer, without even getting above bronze support. Not hugely garage-outfit friendly though I will say it looks very professional.

If QA or design doesn't work, you still hit sprint goals and have non-disastrous sprint demoes?

I would say there's a more universal difficulty of understanding the productivity of jobs different from our own.

Surely a design or QA lead would easily detect when someone is not actually working?
Then I cancel. Same as if Netflix moves to ads. I'll buy Hulu when they offer ad free stuff.

They haven't fully, but want to spin it off into its own company so that taxes don't have to be paid. That's not going well for them (the IRS didn't say they were A OK) and meanwhile BABA shares have tanked (ended the first trading day at $93.89 and is currently at $69.75).

It seems more like #twentysomethingproblems, not #millenialproblems. As a GenXer this was stuff I dealt with far more in college and just after than I do these days. I imagine it was similar for my Boomer parents.
This seems pretty unlikely. I don't think they expect to convert more than 10% of their users into paid users, at least short-term. And if it's ads vs ads, there won't be any reason to use it.

Hulu's decisions are driven by their investors who are direct competitors for recreation time (cable companies who can't realistically cut ads). Youtube doesn't have that -- if they can make equal or more revenue per person via paid subs vs ads, why not?
This blog post starts out with some truth:
1. 3rd party binary static analysis is not industry standard

devolves to half truths:

2. the amount of vendors doing static analysis for security is not what I would really call "Many"

3. You're probably not going to get good ROI from a static analysis tool. But you might reduce your risk significantly by not buying Oracle.

And then devolves into pure bullshit (4, 5, 6, 7)

But despite the fact that Mary Ann Davidson seems to have a much greater interest in hiding Oracle's issues from everyone, rather than actually fixing them, the attempt to get 3rd party binary static analysis mandated is clearly Veracode attempting some good ol' fashioned regulatory capture.

Customers really should have the right to attempt binary static analysis on their vendor's software, but mandating that companies use one niche, specific technique supported by very few vendors to achieve a broad goal is total bullshit.

Also, Coverity was bought by Synopsis, not IBM like the post claims.
They do make a damn good lunch though. They should pivot to a series of restaurants where you can only message positive reviews regarding the amazing food you just ate while surrounded by a lot of hot, young tech workers.

Let the public access the THREE freaking floors of food in their HQ where each employee is required to act as a server (no pun) to customers for an hour or so a day.

Probably the same way that "MCN's" do based on the amount of views and content created.

Prominent YouTubers also make quite a nice buck through in-video promotions and sponsorship as well as being paid for creating videos, and non-YT activities.
It wasn't with those things - that's what they want you to do.

It was appalling with developers of Twitter clients suddenly introducing harsher rate limiting, and a user cap per API key (meaning any growth in the app was severely limited, or even non-existent if already popular).
This isn't the issue, this is something that Google is doing intentionally.

They also charge a tax for apps on the Play Store but since they own YouTube they can just waive the fee to make it seem as if big bad Apple is charging a tax while Google is not.

Let's take a specific example, then. Last week I ordered ~$140 worth of pizza for a party at our office. I paid with my credit card on the website of the pizza joint. Everyone owed about $12-13 in the end (yeah I know, it's an expensive local pizza chain).

Getting paid back with cash would've been a nightmare. Instead I opened Venmo, put in $150, entered the names of my colleagues who were partaking, and hit request. Venmo did the math and requested each person's portion with a push notification. They each confirmed, and I was paid back in full in a few minutes, without even needing to talk directly to most of the people involved.

There are so many situations like this. "But you could do it another more inconvenient way instead" or "you could continue to deal with recouping for hours afterward" aren't especially compelling arguments once you've had the convenience.

I wouldn't say nearly useless.

For my "most cited" paper, the vast bulk of the citations from said paper took place several years after it went into open access because it was NIH funded. Heck, "peak citation" was this year, a full 8 years after it was published. The same general trend is true for my second most cited paper - peak citation is several years after the fact.

Both of these papers were also trivially easy to find in PDF form online.
Thanks for making that clearer.

The only effective solution to the problem of "NSA and the ability of the US government to override any treaty to access any data" is the furtherance of study, and application of Homomorphic encryption.

Homomorphic encryption is a type of encryption done on data, and sent to a remove server (cloud), and the data is processed in an encrypted form. It never is unencrypted during any part of processing. And when it is transmitted back to the originator, they can decrypt when they choose.

Unfortunately, right now the speed is very slow, but work in this area can allow all sorts of data to be processed in the cloud securely.

I'd have to argue with "objectively" - many of your gripes are subjective.

The bank account vs. debit card is one time on setup - and has little to do with day to day interaction. Not do I see how the UI is obtuse - it takes 3 clicks to pay someone.

The one legitimate gripe you have (the facebook/social network), is a plus in my opinion - in the sense I can pay anyone by just knowing their name. Friend of so-and-so is throwing a party? I can look up their name and throw in, and there is an in-app log of the transaction.

I use Cash to send/receive money to my mom. I never have to worry about the the amount sent, what was it for and when it was sent and who it was sent to because its my mom. Its rarely the same for my friends.
Am I the only one trying to order it and facing the problem that there is no way to select shipping method at checkout?
Switch back to cash, check or another transfer mechanism. Or have them buy the next round at the bar and call it good.
Hulu was never ad-free, it always had ads until the recent higher paid tier that is finally ad-free.

The word "stupid" has no valuable meaning in rational discourse, so I've appropriated it in this case to mean, "evokes a negative emotional reaction."

I hope this wasn't too harmful to the conversation, though it seems to have caused damage to the sensibilities of multiple people already. I'd edit, but I think at this point it's hardly worth the effort.

Thanks for the shout-out to Reviewable! You mention at the end that it's only a good solution if you can adopt it wholesale, which is unfortunately true. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to better integrate it into a mixed Reviewable / GitHub workflow, but GitHub's comments API makes it really difficult. For example, comments must be positioned against GitHub's diff (rather than a line in a specific file revision), and commit comments disappear from the PR without a trace if their commit is rebased.

I agree that having something like Gitique or (even small parts of) Reviewable built right into GitHub would be ideal. My impression, though, is that GitHub is constrained by legacy data structures and assumptions, and lacks the motivation to overcome this because the tool works fine for their workflow.
both use very similar generators (in particular, both use CSPRNG DRBG constructions)

Except /dev/random, which can use a different generator when the administrator configures a specific validation mode. Again, specific cryptographic requirements.

that only matters for post-compromise forward-secrecy

Not all cryptographic requirements are purely technical or even "ideal"; some reflect specific policy and/or customer requirements based on their specific cryptographic needs.

I'm standing by what I said before: use urandom, to the exclusion of all other generators, very much including Solaris.

To you, this advice is based on "authority"; to me, it's based on my long-term friendship and working relationship I've established with them over the years and my respect for them as engineers/developers/crypto experts. These are people that would run circles around most "geeks" and have been doing crypto for a decade or more and they have both the pedigree and track record to show for it.

So in the end, you're of course free to believe what you'd like, and while I agree that your advice is generally reasonable, I continue to assert that it is wrong in specific cases for Solaris. As I already pointed out, and you seem to have ignored, the results you get from /dev/urandom are not the same as /dev/random in certain configurations.

As I said before, the Solaris crypto team intends to update the blog post I linked before with more details at a later date. Perhaps that will have the elusive information you're looking for.

Yeah. That's the best thing you can get for TLS certificates now, and most likely for the next five years. So that's what modern TLS uses, yeah.

I think the REAL story here is that the Direct of the Frickin CIA has an AOL e-mail address & AOL e-mail is not the first thing that comes to your mind when you think Security.

Also he thought it was Ok to forward Sensitive Govt. Docs to a non-secured commercial e-mail address.

The amount of almost un-restrained power that these people have vs the very low quality of their InfoSec is truly appalling.

Having watched the video, and curled, to me it says little to nothing. Two stones thrown that far apart from one another can show wildly different amounts of curl. Every sheet has it's own characteristics, even across different pebblings things will change. Additionally, sweeping is supposed to make the stone go straighter, that;s the basic mechanics of the game.

I think if they are going to look at putting some sort of rule in place then they need to look at it from something that can be strictly scientifically measured, like the rebound velocity of a golf club face, rather then something against a specific fabric type.
Totally agree with this post. Actually, I think highly skilled workers should stop seeing themselves as employees and think of themselves as contractors with a single client. You should not get comfortable, you should come on board, solve a problem and move on to a different one.

But aren't both the same?
I've posed exactly these problems to children about 15 times now. Most children 10 and up I've talked to can figure out the first (one more guest) easily enough, the second (an infinite bus of new guests) with a little help, and the third (infinitely many infinite buses) if I draw a picture.

It helps a lot to be precise and use concrete examples. "Hilbert has an infinite hotel. We have to be careful with infinities, though, so I'll tell you what that means. If you think of a number zero or bigger, any number at all, Hilbert's hotel has a room with that number on it. Think of a number. ('2 million!') Yep, he's got that room. ('Six googolpillion!') Yep, he's got that room."

"A guest comes into the hotel and asks, 'Mr. Hilbert, do you have one more room?' Mr. Hilbert says, 'Sure!' He picks up his magic phone that calls everyone in the hotel at the same time and gives all the guests exactly the same message. After they do what he says, there's one room empty. What does he tell them to do?"

When they invariably come up with "Move up one room," it helps to belabor a couple of points. First, reformulate it as, "Look at your room number, add 1, and go to that room." (This helps them figure out "Multiply your room number by 2" as the answer to the second problem.) Second, dwell on who goes where, and whether it's a problem. "Where does the guest in room 0 go? ('Room 1.') Doesn't that have someone in it? ('Yes. Oh, no it doesn't, because he went to room 2!')"

No child has figured out my favorite fourth problem, but then it took mathematics until Cantor to figure it out, too.

"An uncountable group of people shows up at the hotel. Let me tell you what that means. They all have infinite name tags, all filled with As and Bs. Every possible name tag is in the group. [Give example names. Blow raspberries to do it.] The head of the group, whose name is 'AAAAAAAAAAAAAA...' [said with a blank look, trailing off] asks Mr. Hilbert if he has room in his hotel. Mr. Hilbert says 'No!' Why does he say that?"

Let them stew for a bit, and ask questions. Going on: "Mr. Hilbert says, 'OK, tell you what. If you give me a room assignment, I can always find someone you left out.' How does Mr. Hilbert do that?"

You can illustrate this with a game, using only four-letter names. Write down something like

AAAA
BBAA
BABA
AABA

"Can you find a four-letter name that's missing?" Play this a few times, and then ask, "Can you come up with an easier way that doesn't make you think of all the names in turn?" Show them how to flip the letters along the diagonal, and then extend to infinite names.

I've had 2 kids and 1 adult follow this to the end. It's always mind-blowing for them, though, no matter how far they get. I follow up with this:

"That stuff they taught you in school, that stuff a lot of people say they hate, is arithmetic. This is math."

EDIT: Come to think of it, I actually helped a friend's 11-year-old daughter decide that she didn't hate math using these problems. She's probably still bummed about being stuck doing arithmetic for now, though...

> They should have the opportunity to decide.

"Opportunity to decide" implies that end users are prepared and waiting to make that decision, which I'd suggest is broadly untrue.

When you say "have the opportunity to decide"... I hear "be forced to learn about then make a decision on a complicated thing in the middle of a buying decision".

EU companies already have to inform users if personal data leaves the EU. Nobody reads it. People don't read T&Cs.

You could force companies to summarise their privacy/data policies during the buying decision, but you'd have to compress so much you'd mislead as much as inform.

Besides, I think if people cared enough about this stuff then P3P would still be a thing. The ones that DO care enough can read the privacy policy that already explains it.
Because they could potentially make more net revenue by doing subs + ads.

People are getting pretty pissed off at the gradual ad creep on something they pay for (subscription or otherwise...). Companies in their duties to their shareholders will have to make decisions on whether the potential loss from pissed customers who leave is offset by the increased revenue from the people who just whine about the ad creep but continue paying with their subscriptions and eyeballs.

Also, it is not always up to the streaming company. Hulu has shows that are excluded from the "No Commercials" bit because of their licensing agreements. So if you want to watch those, you still get ads.[1]
