This is Reginaldo from the Facebook Security team. We're really glad Orange reported this to us. On this case, the software we were using is third party. As we don't have full control of it, we ran it isolated from the systems that host the data people share on Facebook. We do this precisely to have better security, as chromakode mentioned. After incident response, we determined that the activity Orange detected was in fact from another researcher who participates in our bounty program. Neither of them were able to compromise other parts of our infra-structure so, the way we see it, it's a double win: two competent researchers assessed the system, one of them reported what he found to us and got a good bounty, none of them were able to escalate access.
That isn't as unlikely as you think. This incident made more than a few Admirals red in the face that they weren't aware of this sub:

I know you're playing devil's advocate, but that attitude is making the perfect the enemy of the good. Backups are non-trivial enough that many people don't set them up correctly if at all; and even if they do, a restore can take some work. I think it's perfectly reasonable to have relatively painless alternative (e.g. "undo_rm") as an extra layer of safety.

Ask HN: How many servers do you manage?
I personally only run about 5 for my various websites/services. If I had finished about half of the projects I've started, that number might be closer to 50.

Although I don't spend much time managing the servers themselves, I can see how it would eat up a lot more time with more users and less organization.

A few things I'm curious about:
Are you counting servers you run at a company, or ones you use for your own side projects?
How do you manage them? Manually, scripts, enterprise apps, or something else?
What's the primary function of your servers? Front-end web, databases, back-end, etc?

I'm asking b/c I have a couple side projects almost ready to be launched, so I'm wondering if there is a better way I should be managing all these servers. Thanks!
Or, if you disagree with their opinion: hidebound, closeminded, timorous, etc.

I think the parent was going for something indicating disagreement, so it seems unlikely that your "positive" adjectives are what they were looking for.
At this point, basically the only reason for a normal person to get a desktop rather than a laptop or a big-screened all-in-one is if they want a big graphics card.

Even that's starting to go away with systems like the Razer Core. The only thing holding back more external enclosures is that most laptop hardware makers haven't embraced the idea yet.

The way to kill a carrier strike group today is to make them run out of bullets.

An Arleigh-burke class destroyer carries 96 missiles, a Ticonderoga carries 122. Assuming you've got 2 squadrons of F-18s overhead, that's 2 * 12 * 6 = 144 additional missiles. Additionally, you've got Phalanxes etc. for close in warfare, capable of engaging another couple dozen targets. The CSG as a whole can engage (rough order of magnitude) 1000 simultaneous targets.

What happens if you send in 10,000 flying bombs simultaneously?

Each of these would be exceptionally simple: a couple thousand pounds of TNT or other explosive, a basic aluminum airframe, control servos, a lot of fuel (enough for a couple thousand mile range), a small jet or even turboprop engine, a microchip, and a communications uplink. You could probably build this for about $10K with COTS hardware. $10K * 10K missiles = $100M, to sink a carrier group that cost tens of billions and carries 7500 lives.

In a one-to-one contest with modern U.S. weaponry, every single one of these devices would lose. The point is to force that 1:1 tradeoff, because you have more than an order of magnitude more weaponry.

All of U.S. military doctrine is based on the assumption that manpower is the limiting resource. You can't currently launch a 10,000-plane aerial attack on a CSG, because most nations aren't willing to sacrifice 10,000 pilots in a suicide mission, and even if they were, you can't coordinate 10,000 people in any meaningful way, nor do you have the airfield or aircraft capacity for it. You can coordinate 10,000 microchips in a meaningful way, and these drones can be a lot smaller and launch off of carriers that are themselves drones (or freighters, or fishing boats, or airliners, or other craft that look a lot like civilian vessels) and hence expendable.
> More white people than black live in poverty, yet blacks commit crime at far higher rates. For statistics see FBI and DOJ crime data:

1 in 10 whites live in poverty compared to 1 in 4 blacks so it's not true that more whites live in poverty (unless you're talking about absolute numbers, which doesn't tell us anything meaningful in a comparison to the black crime rate).

https://dash.harvard.edu/bitstream/handle/1/3226952/Sampson_...

> Discrimination appears to be indirect, stemming from the amplification of initial disadvantages over time, along with the social construction of "moral panics" and associated political responses. The "drug war" of the 1980s and 1990s exacerbated the disproportionate representation of blacks in state and federal prisons

> Blacks, and to a lesser extent Hispanics, suffer much higher rates of robbery and homicide victimization than do whites. Homicide is the leading cause of death among young black males and females. These differences result in part from social forces that ecologically concentrate race with poverty and other social dislocations.

I agree that the topic could use more good science and research.

Spies' 'staggering' data requests revealed
I've looked in a bit more detail and it seems to attach the nodes to the ELB used by the AutoScaling group, while I am attaching them to the group itself, which indirectly adds them to the load balancer.

I'm curious how does that tool handle the scaling of the group, since the nodes are actually outside the group and can't contribute to group-wide metrics like average CPU usage, often used for scaling out.

Does the 'financial industry' include loans, insurance, and stock brokers? Or - this being compared to Bitcoin - are you strictly speaking about 8% of the economy being devoted to maintaining point-to-point transfers of money using credit cards, checks, or wire transfers?

In practice ACH transfers within the United States are free and clear within a few days(giving you time to catch fraud). There's also very little technical barrier to transferring money abroad, although there is risk to the bank.

Credit cards are a different matter. They have to clear instantly so the merchant is guaranteed payment(excepting a chargeback). Bitcoin (usually) clears in an hour, or at least 10 minutes, so it's unsuitable for realtime financial transactions unless you build a financial industry on top of it to mitigate risk.
It looks like satire to me.
This trial is in nursing, I think it makes sense in this role. I work in a hospital and many nurses are on 12 hour shifts. Knowing many of them, after 2 or 3 days of 12 hour shifts, they go home and need a day or two just to recover. Shorter shifts would definitely improve this.

However, the biggest issue is labour and associated costs. If you did 6 hour shifts, you would like need more staff and that means more pension costs, more benefit costs etc. But I guess this is why they are running the trial.

There is concern that US aircraft carriers are vulnerable to a barrage of long-range anti-ship ballistic missiles such as the DF-21D:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DF-21

If the carriers are vulnerable then they need to stay very far away which limits the combat effectiveness of its aircraft since they must now deploy from very far away.
Regular "TL;DR" comments are also off-topic?

You're the boss, but my personal view is that this is a very legitimate way to promote his Apply HN:

it is a summary from the post (I've always appreciated TL;DR comments);

it is a demo of the product (it does not supplicate for upvotes through any sort of friendship appeal, only invites those from a legitimate audience who liked the demo to support his Apply HN);

From the FAQ:
Can I ask people to upvote my submission?

No. Users should vote for a story because it's intellectually interesting, not because someone is promoting it.

Well, this is promotion, but also it is a promotion that ask you to judge if the idea is interesting and upvote if you agree.
If I was the husband, I'd rather prioritize being able to swiftly handle my wife's aggressions over brushing off such an intimate challenge for the sake of an employer (who instead gets to do the said challenge).

Anyhow - the purported direct benefit, according to Alex St. John, is for "the wife or GF" as the whole point is to make her happy (from the linked presentation: "If the wife or GF is unhappy the engineer is gone").

Hence, my question: how does it help the wife to directly interact with her husband's boss? Put differently, what is it about directly interacting with her husband's boss that makes her happier than directly interacting with her husband?

Yeah "Hot Tub Time Machine" is super bizarre. There were a couple black people in it, I guess? I think it shows the poster's bias more than anything. "It was a trivial movie with stupid humor -- therefore, black culture"

And viewing "African immigrants" as representative of all Africans? More than a little selection bias there. Far fewer Africans immigrate to the US than would like to.

Also, there are far more complicated and varied relationships between native Africans and Americans with African ancestry.

Labor is a matter of supply and demand, if companies are using child labor that must mean there is a large demand for labor (adults would likely be more efficient at the same task) by removing the child out of the labor pool you increase the bargaining power of his parents.

The moon is much less dynamic than the earth, which could be covered in jungles or ice or something that makes it difficult to detect the (former) presence of intelligent life.

I don't really know a ton about image compression, but I exported the same photo to jpg using the same settings twice: once with 3 channels and once desaturated and then with two channels hidden (I couldn't figure out how to make a 1-channel jpg in gimp, no sure if it's possible). The 1-channel export had less than 30% file size reduction.

I don't think a compression technique that would require that much processing power and have that little size reduction would be too useful.
I have to agree, it's nice that Phoenix has a pretty active node community... though it feels like everyone is too busy working to hit a lot of the meetings... I'd love to catch a coffee and code meetup, but I work too far away, and am in the office for morning standups etc, around that time.

Just the same, always get ideas from the Phoenix/AZ node user group meetings... it's also nice to see when someone demos an idea you had... such as routing redux at the server via websockets.
I think this is a great idea, in part because it makes it super easy for the less technically minded to secure their public internet traffic. It also brings VPNs and network security discussion more into the public eye.

It's not just about cost vs. happiness. Shorter workdays reduce mistakes and having more data is going to help show long term trends that are not necessarily obvious.

This attitude is the exact reason why Python 3 hasn't been getting the uptake that was expected back when it was released. People who sit around and say "the future is today, and I already have Python 2 today" go on to start even totally new projects in Python 2, when they very well could and probably should be using Python 3. As the sibling comment points out, it's just laziness (and rationalization). There's no two ways around it.

Like it or not, the fact of the matter is: for Python programmers, Python 3 is the future. It's really only a matter of time, even if it's much more time than was expected.
That's an interesting question. I don't know if Lincos, which is the most conspicuous attempt at creating a self-explanatory language for aliens, included any kind of compression. Self-explanatory compression seems difficult to achieve, though maybe once you have the motion of equality, you can start giving examples of equivalent plain and compressed texts.

You may increase the wages of the parents, but not necessarily by as much as the family has lost; in fact, there could be situations where a village is no longer worth operating in because the total amount of labor available is not enough to support a viable factory. Much of this depends on the elasticity of demand for labor, the manufacturer's alternatives, and the ease of automating a task. Remember that this is not a power game played by a group of companies on the one side and a bunch of laborers on the other; there are many other factors including mechanization, productivity, consumer demand, etc.

Not that easy I'm afraid. There's more of them every year. People living in conditions where they need to fight to survive don't have time to worry about the survival of others, which means those who can't survive on their own or provide some benefit to others generally don't get any help.

So sure - fixing their situation would be the best! Please come help! We desperately need more real help here.

But barring people jumping on planes to come and help, which from experience doesn't seem to happen terribly often, it's better for these children to be able to survive.

My point is: you're doing this the wrong way around. First you fix their situation, and then you make child labour and sex tourism illegal. If you do it the other way around, you're just hurting people. You're just condemning children who had no other choice to survive to having no means of survival. Sorry to say it, but it's reality.

EDIT: To put it in a more clear example: a village is eating disgusting looking seaweed that tastes horrible because there is no other food nearby. You think nobody should have to eat this seaweed, so you make eating this seaweed illegal so that they can't eat it and offend you. End result? They starve because you didn't provide them with better food before making seaweed illegal.
Its obviously traditional gender roles leaking into the minds of children. We instinctively pick up on what society expects us to be and our personality evolves around those loci.
