>How can ULA hire anyone beyond third-pick candidates?

I have some good friends that work for $unamed_spacex_competitor and their claim is essentially that spacex is considered a "bad" job in the industry. They talk about it like it's a sweatshop.

Honestly, I think it's just jealousy. If you meet somebody and tell them you work for spacex, they think you're a rockstar. If you meet somebody and tell them you work for Boeing, they say "oh, I didn't know Boeing made rockets, you should go work for spacex!".

It does sound like SpaceX is long hours and hard work...but a lot of people really enjoy that sort of thing.

> the F-22 was also over budget and under-delivered on expectations. So much that the Pentagon canceled the remaining production run after 195 aircraft

It was canceled because it was expensive and no longer needed, because the mission it was designed for - fighting a peer enemy - no longer existed. That was 2009, when the U.S.'s primary military concern was fighting two simultaneous wars against enemies who didn't own one airplane or air defense system. Any plane could do the job; we didn't need F-22s. Also, our prior generation planes were still the best in the world.

Seven years later, Russia and China have engaged in massive military military buildups, including significantly improving their air combat capabilties, and aggressive behavior. The peer enemy mission is back at the top of the list (and some are now talking about re-starting F-22 production).
probably the threat of being caught and subsequent consequences probably stop them. also (not saying Apple does and it's hard to do) but companies compartmentalize portions of software making it difficult for an individual to go rouge and break apart the security. higher up engineers probably could but the risk is pretty crazy especially with the new "we can just do whatever we want" terror laws that they would probably lay on them

> This makes it sound as if ALIS does maintenance. ALIS does not do the maintenance. Human beings still do the maintenance.

Well, obviously, ALIS is not a robot with mechanical arms that do the physical work (although with its name, it wouldn't be surprising if some people expected "Alice" to do just that; and the personification is creepily reminiscent of 2001: A Space Odyssey).

But from what I've read in these articles and part of that GAO report, it sounds like ALIS is part of the designed maintenance protocols. For example, Action Requests are entered into ALIS and uploaded to the contractor (!) who triages them (!) and collates data across multiple sites (noted in the GAO report are problems such as a software update preventing contractors from receiving ARs while the on-site personnel are waiting for an answer--eventually they call and ask, hey, what about those ARs? and the contractors respond, what ARs? because they didn't know they were failing). And technical manuals are accessible through ALIS instead of having to refer to paper manuals.

Of course, these are all so vague and general that it's hard for laymen to figure out what it would mean in practice. The terms used in the GAO report for expected functionality are so non-specific that it seems nearly useless to even use them.

Having said all that, the GAO report does mention (buried in the middle of a paragraph, not prominently like a major vulnerability should be) that ALIS can be used in an offline capacity:

> DOD officials told us that they recognize this issue and, for short-term losses of
connection, ALIS users are able to work offline. (page 17)

But that doesn't sound very reassuring to me. In wartime, all sorts of bad things happen, and lost connectivity and communications should be at the top of the list of expectations. If maintenance is severely degraded and aircraft can't fly sorties at the needed rate, well, in a war....

> The server should always be the source of truth. It should always enforce all the consistency rules. Database schemas can be a critical tool here as well.

Amen. And I'm a client developer. Clients aren't for data validation, etc. That's the server's job because the server has to store it, use it, ship it off to other things.

Clients are for displaying all that data in a way a human can understand. It has people skills, damn it!
Recording and playing back input events, at least, shouldn't be that expensive unless you're emulating the entire stack up to the application. If the logic is written in some portable manner (Xamarin [1], etc.) you could just re-execute on the server with the same logic as the client. It requires a fair amount of discipline to keep everything deterministic, too. The real difficulty would be identifying the AI players from the humans; you'd basically have to recreate re-captcha's humanity checkbox, and that's still not a guarantee.

Or, identify that your business need is just to provide 'some' sort of ranking and compare the user against their Facebook/G+/Twitter friends, who are probably less likely to cheat.

There really isn't enough detail there, but what detail there is suggests those numbers are completely made up.

You left out the part where the report covers the period of 1950-2010 - a 60 year period. A multi-decade accounting isn't useful when we are discussing the current state of subsidies across industries.

The tax-based "subsidies" appear to just be referring to the ability to write off expenses, an aspect of the tax code that is nearly universal to every industry in all nations. There are very, very few examples of income taxes that do not allow the write-off of expenses.

The second part of that summary, referring to "exemptions" from economic regulations, is bizarre. We don't generally have price controls or limits on the rate of return in the United States. It seems like that report probably just chose arbitrary numbers for what it felt the profit rate should have been, and added the difference between that and the real numbers into the subsidy number. That is more an argument for communism than anything related to a discussion about subsidy policy.

You also left out the part where the real subsidies, those to the renewables industries, are actual giveaways of money.

I'm not sure how an honest inquiry could make these mistakes and engage in these false comparisons, which probably explains why you used a throwaway account to post.

If the FBI were a private organization, I'd agree with you, but the FBI is paid by the public and is supposed to be protecting the public, so they should not leave the public open to a gaping security hole in a product that millions of people use.

They can't even pretend that the technique would never be utilized by "bad guys" outside of the USA government since whatever the technique is, it's already available for purchase.
I always find it amusing that in any 'clang compiles faster, gcc provides better binaries' discussion there are always immediately people chiming in that this is based on old data from gcc 4.9. But clang supposedly hasn't improved its binaries in all that time?

Unless you target a feature or cpu architecture that only one of them supports, it is close to a coin toss nowadays which compiler builds the faster binary.
According to that Wikipedia article:
"Defense Secretary Robert Gates had production halted at 187 F-22s (at a cost of $67 billion) to direct funds for ongoing irregular warfare operations in Iraq and Afghanistan."

Gates is also on record as saying that the F-22 was cancelled on a cost per aircraft basis. Which is a bit of a circular argument, because the cost per aircraft would dramatically decrease if the originally planned number had been built.

> The point of the article is that Samsung is free to load up its phones with dozens of apps that compete directly with Google.

OEMs must give the Google apps very prominent placement, including a Google search bar on the home screen, and in many cases set them as the default. But this isn't at the heart of the objection. The strongest point is that Google forbids its licensees from shipping alternative versions of Android. This means that Samsung cannot offer consumers a choice between (say) GoogleAndroid and Cyanogen.

> Samsung can change the default search engine to Bing

Google requires OEMs to set Google as the default search engine, according to the EU complaint. I don't know if that's true; I speculate it's not true for Samsung (which has negotiating leverage) but is true for smaller OEMs.

> Seems like a much more competitive market than the Apple or Microsoft mobile ecosystems.

No way. A true competitive market would be a bunch of Apple-like firms, independently building whatever products they want. Instead we have all but a handful of OEMs beholden to Google, under contracts which oblige them to do things Google's way, and no other way ("anti-fragmentation").

The article makes a case that consumers aren't being harmed by this, because OEMs make terrible software. This may be true. But it's still anti-competitive.

By the way, Erlang as of next release (19) will have dirty schedulers. That will make it even easier to integrate blocking C modules into Erlang VM. Can do it now of course but to do it right have to do your own thread + queue + locking to avoid blocking schedulers.

That's the traditional term, but it has specific meaning in game network programming. For instance we never send back the "error accumulated" to the server. Instead the server usually sends a PVS(potentially visible set) that the client handles displaying in a meaningful way(and reconciling and discrepancies). This PVS set is usually absolute values but at a discrete snapshot in time(of which the client can never be certain due to latency and there not being a single global clock). The client is basically guessing where the simulation is going and then smoothly handling(normally interpolation over your usual time-slice) differences from the server snapshot.

That PVS is why you'll see map hacks where people can see through walls and whatnot. The server is doing less expensive checks(not doing a ray cast per-client to client which is n^2) and the cheat takes advantage of that data in memory.
I think this cuts both ways quite a lot more than the author admits. Bill Gates may not represent "the will of the people" but he also doesn't stand to benefit nearly as much from "winning" as say, teacher's unions. I'm not nearly informed enough to have an opinion on the issue of charter schools, but these horrible billionaires seem to be acting in good faith to improve educational outcomes for everyone and that doesn't seem like that bad of a thing to me... It's probably true that people will open up charter schools for the sole purpose of making money and they will run some crappy schools, but it seems disingenuous to speak as though the public school side doesn't have an interest beyond protecting the children.
Any financial planning there is an ad-hoc rationalization. It may or may not work, but the primary mission of SpaceX is to get Elon Musk on Mars.

Agree, Is anyone even able to cite another singlural exploit that was solid for over a million?
from my recollections forever ago, RTS games like the spring engine use checksums on state to prevent manipulation. the game client gets "out of sync" if a client's checksum doesn't match. The state checksum is computed at every tick of the simulation. This makes it so you don't have to run the simulation on the server. Debugging is very hard though, and odd things like FPU precision on different processors can create all kinds of difficult bugs.
> I don't really understand how the computer systems of the F-15 and F-14 which were written in 1970's and probably in assembly seemed flawless yet with todays tech we can't even do this?

Programming languages haven't evolved much since the 70's, yet the number of lines of code we have to write to fly a 5th generation fighter jet has probably followed the same curve as the number of transistors inside it. And scaling a CPU turned out to be easier than scaling a program. Imagine the difference in complexity between the earliest computers controlling car engines, and what the computers inside a new Tesla are doing.
The same with jets. Modern jets can barely stay airborne without a lot of computer power.
The program is there to transfer money from the federal government to various states that have Lockheed subcontractors. The aircraft is a byproduct.
Sibling post gave a case study as a citation providing evidence of the assertion: http://blog.regehr.org/archives/1292

In that case (sqlite) code that passed UBSan, ASan, valgrind, and compiled correctly on all current compilers was studied. A new dynamic undefined behavior checker found additional UB defects at a rate over 1 per thousand lines of code.

I would believe your codebase could have a defect rate one, maybe even two orders of magnitude lower. But short of a formal code-correctness proof, better than that seems unlikely.

Not at all. It's fine for the client to handle processing when the only thing they could hurt is the user of the client. If the client renders a web page incorrectly, only the user of the client gets hurt by that. But the server API must not allow a malicious client to do damage that affects other clients.
> I can't stand tiling though. Either everything is too small, or you can't get enough stuff on screen at once.

Or everything has the wrong aspect ratio.
Ok, we restored the post and put the price back in the title. Good luck.
iOS already does this, at least for exchange calendars. It is quite beautifully implemented, too. It breaks down suggested time slots by attendance.
Your example is about the client misreporting server state to the end user.

The big deal is instead about a badly behaved client being able to make "illegal" changes to the server state.

If you have a deterministic game model(RNG seeded properly, pure functions, etc) you can actually just send the user inputs(which are very small compared to the whole game state) and replay the whole game to verify.

This is the common model in RTS games called Lock Step since all clients are advancing a number of frames based on all inputs from other clients in "lock step".

It's also very common way to implement replay and debugging for reproducing rare network bugs.
This is obvious to the point of not reiterating but don't ever plug your stuff into cheap/unknown chargers. I've seen the AC jump across to the low power DC side MANY times and it insta-destroys anything designed to just take the +5vdc.

My impression, confirmed by people who work at SpaceX, is that SpaceX is for people whose desired work/life balance is strongly tilted towards work.

The work is long, hard and rewarding. But it's clearly not for everyone. And they're pretty up front about that.
It's primarily based on working in business. But it's hard for me to tell if the regulations are becoming more burdensome, or if I'm just becoming more aware of them as my role becomes more senior.

It's also somewhat based on my perception of how many regulatory hoops I'd have to jump through to start a business. Again, though, I don't know if the hoops were always there and my awareness of them grew, or if the number of hoops increased.
this happened in the Mesos project as well. Maybe we should ban the word slave from dictionaries as well.
Fossil fuels compete unfairly by deferring externalities to future generations. The full cost of coal electricity would price in the Manhattan seawall and the complete reconstruction of Miami not to mention whatever ocean acidification does (scarier than climate IMHO).
What purpose will that serve? You make things harder for SpaceX, so... what? Everybody just stays home? Does that make you happier, because we're all equally stuck?
Because (a) I resisted it due to (mistakenly) thinking it was not necessary; (b) the language was changing a lot and having a MIR to change would have made that harder. If we had had a MIR from Rust 0.1, it probably would have had to be completely overhauled by this point.
