I want to note that just because the data doesn't "look" valuable to you now doesn't mean it isn't. There are lots of types of data that didn't seem valuable before people connected some dots and realized they are.

Attendance records could be very valuable. If I can determine trends in what days you attend school, which classes you attend, and with which frequency, I might be able to create an even more specific advertising audience to sell to ad publishers. "high school students who showed affinity for Cooking class" (assuming most high schools even offer a home ec/cooking class) might be a very compelling ad segment to some up-and-coming social baking app or something.

I have actually, but I've been lucky enough to live and work in particularly nice parts of the cities I live in. My comment was meant in reply specifically to "We [all] get accosted by mentally ill people, drunk people, high people, strung out people, dirty people. We smell piss on the street corners."

I've only ever had that experience while visiting SF.
I won't deny that I'm fairly sensitive on the matter, given that anti-Semitism is not just acceptable but a major electoral winner these days -- as long as one applies a coat of "anti-Zionist" paint on top, one is good to go with the vilest conspiracy theories and blood libels, as we've seen right here in this comments section.

What made me raise an eyebrow was the bit about how if things changed, it might be in Israel's interests to be expansionist. That's obviously true, one could say that about any country, of course, but... well, in the end that's probably on me being oversensitive, and it was uncalled for to go after it.
Pretty much the same for me... I met my soon to be ex-wife 10 years ago, I was young, didn't know and understand myself. I've known that things weren't really right for already 6 years but I've tried to somehow change myself and her to improve things. Important to impose a time limit on that and you don't change the quirks of another person.

Now I know that I went into it too quickly, that our quirks do not match and that while I think she would be the perfect wife to someone else, she's not it for me.
Tangentially, by dumb luck. Or they pretend to be C players and get paid as those.
I've seen that a lot, and I've discussed it with quite a few people. I think that a lot of money could be saved if that was changed, though maybe organisation and allocation, making the next budget, could become harder.

The sad thing is, most people don't seem to care. I even tried to discuss it with the Minister for Development (I'm in Germany) at some point, since I've been working in a place within his influence and saw people do ridiculous things with money near the end of the year, but he didn't even try to understand what I was talking about (he half-heartedly tried to get some names out of me though). Maybe he was too drunk, I hope he was.

(Then again, that particular place I worked at measures their progress towards goals in money spent, and that is what the bosses fret over.)

Maybe one of the reasons is that the government tries to stimulate the economy and thus keeps up the spending. Still, talking about austerity at the same time is a mismatch. I'm still trying to figure out this puzzle.

Does anyone here have any clues to the situation? Is there a good reason for this rule to exist?
I second this, for a recent e-commerce project we started using nginx's image_filter but the quality of the resized images was unacceptable.

We ended up using Thumbor, which was able to give us much better looking images (but at the cost of being extremely difficult to deploy on the CentOS 6.x servers we had at that time).
As I said, when you can find that "report" we can start to discuss about the figures. Until then, it has the same validity as using a random function in a computer to guess those numbers
I'm almost 100% sure that the Cloud Vision API will also return "cartoon" or "artwork" or something similar. This is because of how the models are trained.

What you need is a custom model that is trained specifically on hand drawn pictures. You can use something like TensorFlow to build this, but getting the raw data might be challenging.

It seems like there's never been a better time to be single, especially if you're living in one of the major cities.

Not definitive proof, but a former Apple security engineer suggests it is: https://twitter.com/JohnHedge/status/699882614212075520

A possible mitigation against the "FBI attack" (which I don't know if Apple has implemented), while still allowing SEP firmware updates, would be to have a simple routine in ROM that the SEP always runs upon boot (before running the SEP firmware blob) to verify that as hash of the firmware blob matches the one previously recorded by the SEP. If it doesn't, it could either wipe and update the hash, or refuse to boot until the previous blob is restored. When updating the firmware normally, the SEP would simply verify the user enters their pin before updating the hash.

Or simply require pin entry (or wipe) for all DFU firmware updates, which seems like a much safer option.

The problem with pure research in this field is that your decisions will influence the market. How much you invest will influence your returns and how successful you are will influence the behaviour of others in the future.
It's not unusual for rising powers to flex their new muscles by claiming new rights and privileges at sea; the U.S. did it in the 1890s and early 1900s, establishing its power in the eastern and central Pacific by overthrowing the government of Hawaii, driving the Spanish out of the Philippines, establishing bases on Midway Atoll and Wake Island, etc.

(Note that all of these locations would become key flashpoints in the war between the U.S. and the Japanese Empire a few decades later.)
I live in Queens and commute to manhattan like everyone else (very short commute by NYC standards too). I spend roughly $1000 per month on rent and utilities (I have a roommate).

The thing about NYC is, the variance in spending is astronomical. If you try to keep up with the Joneses here you are literally competing at the global level of wealth. Luxuries here, like eating out, generally cost more.

On the flip side, the median _household_ income in NYC is around $50,000. So it's certainly possible to survive at a much lower cost of living than a traditional "Manhattan" lifestyle assumes. That said, life in NYC is objectively "harder" than anywhere else in the US so far as I've experienced (I imagine it isn't too different from London though tbh). If you want to live in comfort relative to say the midwest, you're gonna pay out the nose for it. Alternatively, you can save tens of thousands of dollars per year by opting for some relatively basic lifestyle changes such as having a roommate, eating at home, and not owning a car. Those 3 tradeoffs alone will max your 401k every year.

The consideration for accepting the "harder" lifestyle of NYC, is there are opportunities here that simply don't exist in cozier places to live in the US. That and you live longer due to all the extra walking ;-)

NOTE: All of this assumes you are child-free. Having children in NYC is a complete game changer cost wise from what I hear.
I think it might have been meant as a Princess Bride quote.

If an EA-18G Growler is close enough to effectively jam the HQ-9's radar, then its close enough for the HQ-9's missiles to shoot it down.

And the HQ-9 or shorter range systems surround it are more than capable of shooting down any anti-radiation missiles fired towards it.

Yes, the FBI is arguing that it's no hardship for Apple to write the software to do this, since writing software is the business they're in. Once that precedent is established, then no software the government asks Apple to write should be any "hardship." I'm betting the government has a well thought out wish list.
Which may cause the ruin of the platform.

> Good luck finding anything high in fats and processed in a modern supermarket.

Er, there's quite a lot of high fat, processed foods in modern supermarkets. Now, they don't put "high fat" on the label, because "high fat" isn't a selling point. but that doesn't change the fact that they are high in fat.
AA/AD isn't done by one thing. They need anti ship ballistic missiles and submarines to make sure no carrier group would ever go anywhere anywhere near (i.e. near enough for standoff weapons that would hurt the anti air weapons) and so on. You need all the different pieces of the puzzle to have effective area denial.
Well that is why the reasoning here is

1. "We already have lot of empty flats nobody lives in and need to maintain them"
2. "We already rent many flats for like 300$ a month to low income families, that have the courage for like 10 different visits to municipal office"
3. "Families that are on the edge of homelesness already live in some hostel and might be paying more than 300$ a month just to have a place to stay."

At least that is the gist of it as far as I know.

Second, this is an EU city, so I know that they want to get some initial funds from EU funds (the first set of flats needs to undergo reconstruction, because the basic utilities, like water and electricity are in terrible state) as a pilot 'housing first' project in the republic.

That's completely ridiculous. Even if the exact figures in the articles are wrong, it's still generally accepted that Google makes a significant amount of its mobile revenue off of iOS. Demanding that I unearth some vague "report" to give you specific figures is completely meaningless. Doubly-so since it doesn't even matter what the numbers are, because the whole point was that Android users switching to iOS are still extremely likely to be using Google products, which means Google's still making money off of them.
Perhaps they could also incorporate data on CEO horoscopes, and which coffee outlets they frequent.

I'm sure that it's easier for them to do it because it's aligned with their business model but Tim Cook has shown himself willing to pursue policies that aren't solely ROI-related.

Cook very publicly tangled with shareholders that argued against Apple's environmental & accessibility initiatives:

"'When we work on making our devices accessible by the blind, I don’t consider the bloody ROI,' Cook said, adding that the same sentiment applied to environmental and health and safety issues.

He told Danhof that if he did not believe in climate change, he should sell his Apple shares. 'If you want me to do things only for ROI reasons, you should get out of this stock,' he said.

Cook’s comments and visible passion over the issue are one of the strongest signals yet of his commitment to reducing Apple’s environmental footprint. He told shareholders that he wanted to 'leave the world better than we found it'."

> the PRC's actions are already getting its neighbors to band together, even with Japan (!).

Yes, this is probably the best argument that can be made that the PRC's strategy is failing -- the bluntness of it is definitely drawing the whole region into a new anti-Chinese bloc, which (combined with the U.S.) could present a formidable counter to Chinese regional power. A more subtle "divide and conquer" strategy might have let them take on potential opponents one by one, or even play them against each other.

I would suggest reading the documentation and understanding the architecture. It works well for many applications but some are less ideal. Maybe yours was a corner case? I don't know. But it's used by many, for instance Facebook (https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/14x/presentations/scali...).
The proposals I've see have always had the initial scrypt be done on the server.

The DOS risk on registration can be mitigated more easily than the login one. e.g. Rate limiting new registrations will often be more palatable than limiting logins, or you can require "email validation" before you set the first password. And, not every application allows self registration.

I read it. He don't grasp the technical issues - sadly this is going partisan it seems.

No one is compelling apple to weaken their encryption scheme because it is already weak. They are just asking for them to weaponize existing weakness (the weakness being apple having the ability to update the software on the device)
There is still the chance that data get corrupted between the time the scrub is performed and the time you read the data, so I don't consider scrubs sufficient.
In any case you are right, they should be performed even with ZFS, expecially to test data that is rarely or never read back.

>You can have perpetual shortages on the supply side that keep prices up. The entire luxury goods market relies on this, as an example.

You'll have to go into more depth on your example. I'm not sure to what you're referring.

>But what about supply?

Reread the second paragraph in my comment. Generally, when the term "shortages" is used, it refers to supply.

As for the "perpetual shortages on the supply side that keep prices up", I'm not sure you are using the term "shortage" as it is understood in economics. Just because something is not available at a price I prefer does not connote a shortage (as defined in economics). Otherwise the fact that I cannot buy a Lotus car for $10k would mean there is a shortage. However, if the government introduced price controls on Lotus cars so they could only be sold for $10k, you would definitely have a shortage because more people would want them (demand) at that price point but no one would be willing to sell them (supply).
It's not good to end statements by throwing your hands up in the air and going "golly gee I just can't possibly fathom why anyone would think differently than ME!"

Right off the bat, never regulating trade means you only create short term wealth. You can't possibly think that no one would ever take issue with trade deals that take advantage of countries participating in human rights violations, or countries whose economic situation means they can offer manufacturing for drastically less and undervalue key industries

Sure but they were there for years before anyone noticed. Same with PHP's Mersenne Twister code. Same with multiple other long-standing bugs. It's disingenuous to toss out "Oh, if only it was open source!" because reality tells us that people just plain -don't- read and verify open source code even when it's critical stuff like OpenSSL.
Ask HN: Is it still possible to work in the US as a European?
With the H1B visa situation not getting better any time soon, are there still realistic ways of working as a software engineer in the US (especially the Bay Area) as a European, under the assumption that one is not a “rockstar programmer” (and neither studied nor worked in the US before)?

I’m aware of three ways to get a visa as a European, but each of them seems futile:

- L1: You kind of have to be lucky to find an employer that qualifies for this, or, well, be a Rockstar Programmer™ (and you’ll have to work for them one year outside the US first)

- H1B: Unrealistic, not only because of the cap, but also because of time / effort / risk it takes for the employer

- Diversity Lottery: Well, that’s lottery (chances are not that bad, though)

I find it quite depressing that there’s basically no way that does not involve luck to work in the US as a more “average”, but ambitious, software developer / engineer. I could theoretically work anywhere in Europe, but well, the interesting stuff seems to be happening in the US (I currently work as a digital plumber, putting my university degree to waste).

Most languages are cross-platform. No language maintainer is going to say, "sorry, Windows, Mac, or <random Linux distro> user, you don't get to use our language."

Likewise, you can't require every package maintainer to just publish their package to every single OS and distro's package repository every time they want to release a new version. Well, you can, you just want have any users if you do.

I'm siding with the idea that if the cops want to install something on a device that I own, they have to get my cooperation, not that of the manufacturer.
A founder's most important duty is to survive and then thrive, in that order, no? Following that, I would argue that YC helps out immensely in other ways more important than financial survival, though the cash helps with the first duty quite well.
That's a good point about the 90% capacity.

Also the same "technically challenging" problem that needs to be solved for shrinking pools would also make defrag possible.
Same here, in fact I'm often blown away but the timelines at the bottoms of reports like this. Not in a "they should have released this sooner" type of way but more of a "wow, they were extremely patient with this vendor after numerous delays and all out of the goodness of their hearts". It would be just as easy for these researchers to say say "hmm interesting" and never alert the vendor or publish the findings.

I've actually been having similar feelings lately. I'm still not totally happy with Apple and fundamentally disagree with their closed ecosystem policy, but over the years I feel like they have been gradually gaining trustworthiness just as Google has been losing it. (Of course, Facebook never had it in the first place.) I still don't think it's so much a true desire to "do no evil" rather than Apple's business incentives happening to be more compatible with consumer privacy in this case, but that's really about the best you can hope for from any gigantic for-profit corporation.

I'm not quite ready to jump ship yet, but it's looking more and more tempting every day.
Why Comments Have Always Sucked
This is the most terrible part:

"This is an obvious and ridiculous local privilege escalation, which apparently Comodo believe they have resolved by generating a password instead of leaving it blank. That is not the case, as the password is simply the first 8 characters of SHA1(Disk.Caption+Disk.Signature+Disk.SerialNumber+Disk.TotalTracks). I imagine Comodo thought nobody would bother checking how they generated the password, because this clearly doesn't prevent the attack they claim it solved."
