This story is pretty sensationalized.

1. A container shipping company does not store the bar code of crates/packages. I've easily read 100s of booking details and never seen this. At most you maybe find one booking where the customer gave too much info and the customer service person copy/pasted too much. Anyway, either the article is talking about the container number or the hacked company is a logistics company.

2. If it is a logistics company, they wouldn't know exactly where the container is on the vessel. You can ask "above/below deck", but exact details aren't normally shared. You'd need to hack two companies if the pirates behaved like the article suggests.

3. Boarding a container ship isn't that easy as a lot of them are huge.

4. A container might just be reachable. Hint: For some commodities special care is taken to ensure that the vessel crew can still reach it. It's much easier to target a container after it has left a terminal and is e.g. on a truck. Note that even with full access it is better to somehow takeover a truck than to pick it up yourself; they check and your identification (passport/drivers license) when you pick up.

At most this might be about some logistics company that uses small vessels. E.g. intra Asia trade. Any big company I would be surprised if the hackers would make sense of all the systems :-P

That said, every so often you do see news articles whereby someone within either customs or a shipping company sells the details to others. Those others then steal the goods. But not by boarding vessels though, they takeover the truck.

I enjoy bridge, but high level competitive bridge sounds like a nightmare.

"Expert poker players often take advantage of a skill they call table feel: an ability to read the facial expressions and other unconscious “tells” exhibited by their opponents. Bridge players rely on table feel, too, but in bridge not all tells can be exploited legally by all players. If one of my opponents hesitates during the bidding or the play, I’m allowed to draw conclusions from the hesitation—but if my partner hesitates I’m not. What’s more, if I seem to have taken advantage of information that I wasn’t authorized to know, my opponents can summon the tournament director and seek an adjusted result for the hand we just played. Principled players do their best to ignore their partner and play at a consistent tempo, in order to avoid exchanging unauthorized information—and, if they do end up noticing something they shouldn’t have noticed, they go out of their way not to exploit it."

How can you possibly play like this, and expect others to play like this, in a genuinely competitive setting?
Thank you :D

I agree. What the actual cheating technique was is the least interesting part of the story.
Again, that would require perfect reflection for that 85% of spectrum and perfect transparency and/or a perfect radiator for the other 15%. If that kind of material is possible, we're capable of producing it, and the x% is capable of feeding all of the photosynthetic organisms on Earth it would be totally fine.

However, there is zero evidence that such a perfect material can even exist let alone be produced and maintained at a scale capable of shielding the earth. Any imperfections will absorb heat and steadily destroy the shielding material in runaway overheating.
You reap what you sow. GCC authors have already shown they don't want to be in the "friends" camp anyway, so the best possible outcome at this point is a fork of GCC and/or Clang that actually compiles programs properly.

"sparsebundle already in use" is the FOAD of error messages. I do love how the (now stale) tools to fix this are maintained by a volunteer on an external site unrelated to apple.

I try not to be too grumpy about it, but I paid $3k for a laptop not to have to fucking deal with windows-style normal operation of the OS and related tools is busted and you're gonna sink hours into debugging it. And least when linux breaks it tends to leave error messages and details in syslog...
Ok, I didn't realize that. But it still doesn't solve the problem of compromising an old certificate and creating a fake signature with your own time.
I did. To the point that I, after lobbying for the permission to do so, removed every single mention of any technology or stack-a-mabob buzzword and phrase from every single open listing my team had out.

There was some consternation over it because the recruiting staff didn't know how to go find people based on this new buzzword-free criteria, so I helped them to identify where to look, and persuaded them not to be the one to contact them & let that be the responsibility of one of the people already on my team.

It eventually worked.

Also, be fully aware I'm not holding the discrepancy against the applicants. It's not their fault. They're getting signals from the marketplace that they should call themselves a "Distributed Systems Engineer". I'm holding this problem against the institutional forces that are giving these people the signals to describe themselves this way to begin with. Because it makes it much harder to find one when you actually need one.

For a while the lack of wages could be compensated with cheap consumer credits. I guess that's maxed out too.

I strongly believe that forcing wages up (within reason) would increase economic output. We certainly don't need to push more money to the top people like most republican candidates want to do. The money would "trickle up" because people would actually buy things and entrepreneurs could take advantage of that purchasing power.

Get a few lower division (first few years of undergraduate) textbooks and start reading. Work the problems at the end of each chapter. Ideally find books with solutions or at least the answers, so you can work these problems until you understand them. When you get stuck, find someone you can go to, or consult other texts which often give a slightly different, often very helpful, point of view. Also ideally, you would have access to a library so that you can get a few texts.

Personally, I believe the best way to learn anything hard is by enrolling in a course. Having some kind of commitment, and looming consequence, forces you to work through the inevitable tough patches. You can also get a lot of help from classmates, and or learn a lot from helping classmates. They can also be a social support network.

Regarding your comment in the thread, you might want to make sure that it is physics that you want to learn. Physics is more the study of how things are, the nature of reality, rather than 'why' reality is a certain way. There are not many satisfying answers to questions like "why does light have wave and particle properties", but this might be semantics. Physics explains a lot about what we observe. I get a lot of pleasure out of knowing why the sky is blue, how a rainbow is formed, etc. My BS in Physics is an excellent foundation for what I do now, which is radar oceanography.
I didn't do the A-levels but from my understanding of them I have always thought that they don't seem to discriminate between candidates well enough. That is to say that there just are not enough grades. I think the passing grades you can get are A,B,C or D. Most people who get in to the top universities get straight A's. I think if each of these grades was split in 3 it would make the result a lot more meaningful and would go a long way towards ensuring that the best candidates got invited to study at the university (I think the entire interview process is fraught with huge bias problems).

Actual CDSs are quite a bit more complicated than that. They pay out in the case of very specifically defined credit events, and it's not uncommonly a difficult question to decide whether a credit event has occurred.

The current system requires 80% of the ISDA's Credit Derivatives Determinations Committees to vote that an event has occurred. You see to think a purely mechanical system would be better, but it's not obvious to me why this would be so. It would certainly be different.

> Look ma, no more humans!

Yes, but why is that good? Is the role of humans in the CDS process a problem? Why? A CDS is a contract between two parties; do you believe more automation in the process would benefit the seller, the buyer, both, or society at large? And how?

The main advantage of the blockchain would seem to be its distributed nature and it's ability to not need any central trusted authority. But in the cases of CDSs, we have a central trusted authority in the form of the ISDA.

Again, we come back to the issue of needing to begin by defining the problem we're trying to solve, and then demonstrate how a blockchain could solve it. What problem with the existing system are you trying to solve?
As a dyslexic of some repute, (I'm 60) I can't say both are turn. Both visual (dbpq9) queuing and audible (phonics) apply. I believe the difference in test done by people like Ms Wellborn are because of the changes in the way children are tough.

When you realized that the government was making an all out assault on the most fundamental American rights and the civilian sector did absolutely nothing to assure your privacy and anonymity out of sheer greed and narrow minded foolishness that they would be undermining their own success.

I am sure you would not have a problem using these kinds of systems if it were assured that you could not be tracked or monitored because the devices and systems were secured in overlapping ways.
So where would you reallocate from?

Calling it '4 trillion' is technically correct but I find that taking out the passthru social programs (SS, medicare, medicaid) leaves you with the real number of what's available to allocate differently. Hard to say that we could pay for something out of SS benefits while still collecting FICA tax, and if you want to eliminate the program entirely that's a different discussion.

> A man who is expected to work 60 hour weeks is much less likely to get custody of his kids.

We're not comparing custody results, here. We're comparing a full custody woman against a full custody man, across all cultures, not whatever intuition you have about custody battles (in the US, seemingly)?

After doing a bit of reading[1], it's not even clear that any of your statements are true.

"In other words, 91 percent of child custody after divorce is decided with no interference from the family court system. How can there be a bias toward mothers when fewer than 4 percent of custody decisions are made by the Family Court?

What do these statistics tell us?

1. Fathers are less involved in their children's care during the marriage.

2. Fathers are less involved in their children's lives after divorce.

3. Mothers gain custody because the vast majority of fathers choose to give them custody.

4. There is no Family Court bias in favor of mothers because very few fathers seek custody during divorce."

For the nearest comparable disaster, look up the Banqiao Dam Failure, occurring in 1975 in China. It resulted in the deaths of 171,000 people in the densly-populated downstream valley.

The circumstances of the failure are themselves instructive. Poor planning, poor design, ignored engineering warnings (and banishment of the engineer in question), inadequate safety presentations, a true monster of a storm (over 1 meter of water in 24 hours), miscommunications, failed communications, no downstream warning system, the inevitable dam failure, and a further cascade of additional dam failures, including many of which were blasted open with artillery.

Only a relatively small number of the deaths were direcectly precipitated by the flooding. Many resulted from disease and starvation.

The Mosul Dam could potentially dwarf this tragedy.

Very nice feature. While you're in there tinkering under the hood, how about wiring it up for JavaScript & Python, too? (I'm mostly kidding, because this appears to be exactly the direction you're already heading.)

But PLEASE enable basic drag and drop text editing as soon as you can. Since the 1980s, EVERY text component, text editor, IDE, and word processor Microsoft has ever made has had the basic editing ability to drag a selected bit of text and drop it into a new location, with the maddening exception of VS Code where, when you try to drag your selection, you just lose the selection.

There are multiple requests for this in the feature request section of the VSC website, but unfortunately everybody calls it by a different name, so a single, higher-priority issue that would be suggested to most voters as they look over the top of the list is instead recorded as a bunch of low-priority issues lost down in the weeds, discovered by so few that it keeps getting recreated as a new issue.

BRAINWAVZ BLU-200 Bluetooth 4.0 AptX Earphones Review
You are implying that childcare and other non-work flex time activity isn't work. This is, in the frame of this discussion, in itself implicitly sexist.

Women aren't asking for flex time in order to relax: they want flex time in order to do work that isn't business related, like taking care of their family.

So the same number of hours are being worked - the question is whether using these extra hours to do company business is more beneficial to the company than doing something else.

Quite frankly, it's kind of a ridiculous discussion. I can't see how it isn't driven by implicit benevolent sexist assumptions.

Oh :)

Not a cultural/religious phenomena. That is just a sarcastic way to ignore someone. This way of passive resistance is kinder (and safer in context) than to outright say "piss off". Everything is considered will of God in Islam anyways - from someone moving a finger to celestial events.

When an Arab tells you "if it's the will of God" or "tomorrow" you are most likely on your own, nothing is going to get done. True for most of the muslims; more true for most of the Arabs. Source: a muslim.
It's true some people are very sensitive. This is the cultural/taboo part of the issue. From what I've been told, for some reason this taboo is especially strong in the US (correct me if I'm wrong).

In the end, regardless of the taboo, keeping salaries secret only helps employers. They are playing with a full deck of cards, while you -- the employee -- aren't. Not having access to this information is detrimental. For example, you do not know if you're being short-changed.

In your scenario, Joe's employer will have to explain why Josh deserves more money. The problem here is that employers prefer to avoid confrontation, and that sometimes there just isn't any reason beyond "because Josh asked for it and you didn't" or "because I like Josh more than you". This is why hidden information empowers employers but not you -- because you simply don't know when their decisions are justified or arbitrary. By making this information public, you make it more likely that your employers will be forced to provide non-bullshit justifications.
Indeed. The next instrument modal will be much more intuitive for that.
I interviewed with Etsy for an internship position last year. After the on-site was finished, our group of interns was told we'd hear back within a few days (but likely the very next day.) After two weeks of silence, I emailed them asking if they had an update or a new timeline and was told they'd get back to me in a week or so. This happened two or three more times over the next couple months, until I eventually gave up. Like you, I was more confused than anything. Either way, I can't really say I recommend interviewing with them.
