How did this get to the #1 spot of Hacker News?

I love this forum because I find I can engage in meaningful discussion and actually get thought out replies, but it seems like any mention of LinkedIn, degrades into a cesspool of "LinkedIn only spams me!" (Uh... have you heard of email settings?) "LinkedIn is totally irrelevant, I don't understand why people still use it!" (Uh... okay, not everyone has a well paying, highly demanded tech job) "LinkedIn is literally satan. (Uh... okay no argument).

I'm all for constructive discussion about the engineering mistakes or product decisions behind this, but it just seems like its repeatedly the same inane comments about how "useless" LinkedIn is. It seems like stuff like this is always spun into a story about how evil or incompetent a corporation is, but I feel like we tend to forget that at the end of the day, behind these products are simply engineers trying their best to create tools and products that they think add value. (FYI: This email comes from a startup LinkedIn acquired called Newsle.)

In the US colored is an offensive term for black people.

People of Color is a term to describe non-white minorities, popular among left wing, especially left wing minority activists.
I just got a Thinkpad x260 and I'm running Ubuntu MATE on it. The wireless card is Intel, so no problems with drivers or anything.

It comes with mini displayport too, but I've had some issue where the laptop will freeze up when the display port is plugged in and the laptop screen is also on. Other than that it has HDMI and about 17 hours of battery life.
That is awesome! You guys rule! I want one
I don't have a document on hand to support my claim, but it's alluded to in the header of the document you linked:

THIS DOCUMENT HAS BEEN LAST UPDATED IN MARCH 2015 AND SOME SUBTLETIES HAVE CHANGED SINCE, ESPECIALLY CONCERNING REVERTING ETHER TRANSFERS IN CASE OF OUT-OF-GAS.

Based on my understanding, your bullet points are valid excluding the first one.
Maybe the site could detect if people have read the instructions.
IIRC, the driver is always liable for the vehicle being operated in an unsafe manner; if this is due to the vehicle systems being maintained in a condition that is unsafe, that's still the driver's responsibility.

If the unsafe condition of the vehicle resulted from a manufacturer's defect, this, again IIRC, generally allows those who experience damages to seek compensation from the manufacturer, but doesn't necessarily relieve the driver of liability (legal liability for any particular harm isn't necessarily exclusive in one party.)
Using another source of algorithmicly generated content to produce its own content? If it was, then I'd love to see linked in do a news post with this as the news item, which could then force Slate to do a story update.

Russell Coker has done some work on SELinux. He's had a Linux box online since 2008 or so that users may ssh into as root. It's really amazing to see what SELinux can do. However, I agree that OpenBSD's focus on small and simple is the better approach.

Hi Ben,
I work at Twilio with Notify. Thank you for the feedback. We recently started auto-generating our helper libraries (before it was a manual process.) This let's us ship new products and new features into all of our supported languages very quickly. It also opens up the opportunity to add additional languages. I'd love to hear more about languages you'd like to see (sounds like Go is important, others?) and hear more about how you are using Twilio to see if we have a better solution for you. Drop me an email: bchia [at] twilio [dot] com
Yes, see https://realm.io/docs/swift/latest/#collection-notifications for details on how you can watch query results for changes to update your TableViews.

All elements of Realm (queries, lists and even individual properties on objects) are lazy loaded. That is an intrinsic property of the zero-copy architecture where objects directly reflect what is in the underlying database.
You're making the critically flawed assumption that the space of all DAOs is a finite set!
Concept of park used to mean "public space", usable by rich and poor alike.

They might be saying that evidence of job loss to Mexico is further complicated by the fact that the jobs may have been lost to automation anyway. I.e. that's one more reason nobody can definitively say NAFTA was good/bad for American working class employment.
The surface area for both technologies is the same: The kernel. Howerver, SELinux uses a complex set of rules for determining access rights, while containers use basic bindmounts.
And this kind of crap is why I use Windows.
No. No, no, no. Virtual machines - yes, to an extent. Containers - no.

Containers still use the same kernel, have access to the same filesystems (in practice), same devices, same ioctls, etc. There can be a lot more separation done in the future, but right now, you definitely gain a lot by isolating your containers using selinux.

Even with virtual machines, you want any breakout / external write vulnerability to be contained. That's why libvirt/kvm relies on selinux (or apparmor) for system protection and for cross-vm protection (https://libvirt.org/drvqemu.html#securityselinux)
Pro supports bitlocker.
Statistics would be what would answer that question, i.e. it's not a who, it's math; I wasn't claiming to have those statistics. I was trying to discuss what you thought the math was and why.
"People who think "free market" is real are both naive and arrogant."

I think in general people - for and against laissez faire economics - confuse free markets with fair.

Free market proponents make the error of asuming that all free is also fair and decent and their opponents presume everything should be first and foremost fair (rather than efficient).

The server I'm talking about is a multi-user box used by a bunch of people for various toy activities. So what usually happens is someone will try to install something new and reasonable, it will fail, they will bitch at me, and then I'll run my scripts and update the selinux config.

However, I do end up with surprising mystery issues. Just got a rule for logrotate needing to be able to reload some daemon... a year into this experiment. Wut?

I'm not entirely surprised. The LinkedIn site and customer service is just awful. Then again I'm not their customer, I'm their product so why should they give a shit about my issues or the issues of the author? Granted mine were more minor but I reported all sorts of issues with their messages system all of which have gone unresolved but one (took them months to finally make my notification indicator go away; an issue one of their engineers confirmed to me was an issue).

Honestly I would just close my LinkedIn account but being in the technology industry it seems almost impossible to escape it if you want to have a career. Yes you don't need it but not having it makes applying for jobs, having people find you, and even you finding jobs all more difficult.
> when we run a current through the filament ... becomes ... light

Not exactly. It's actually "when the filament is hot it emits light". It has nothing to do with the current (except that the current heats it).

So it doesn't matter how you heat the filament - in this case you heat the filament by reflected infrared energy at it.

In contrast a florescent light does actually use electricity to make light - heating it would do nothing.

I'm sure it's not intentional, but the author spends quite a lot of time telling me that the SELinux folks aren't listening or learning what the real issues are in security, but try as I might I all his links to his blog posts he doesn't actually state what they are!

What are the key issues that SELinux needs to address?
Ask HN: What sort of things do resume filters look for?
Been curious about what kinds of methods resume filters use to make decisions. Anyone have knowledge/experience designing a filter and can spill the beans?
So far I've seen lots of press releases and credential waving, but no actual development plan or progress. Until they start publishing papers a la Google, I'm putting this in the vaporware basket.
I don't think the essence of the German-Asian argument (to use the author's framing), or, for that matter, the "third way" championed by the Asian Tiger economies, is so much protectionism--though protectionism is undeniably crucial--as a certain degree of state-guided capitalism. This is covered by the "process vs. result" part of the article.

In the Anglo-American view, there are two possibilities and two possibilities only: (1) unbridled laissez-faire capitalism with a minimum of regulation, and (2) Soviet-style central planning. In reality, there's a fairly smooth continuum of in-between options, where the power and dynamism of markets can be harnessed but still subordinated to broad development goals and national macroeconomic priorities.
> Then again I'm not their customer, I'm their product so why should they give a shit about my issues or the issues of the author?

You aren't their "product", you are one of very many suppliers, each of which provides a very small quantity of the product they are reselling.

Which is not to say your general point is wrong, but LinkedIn and similar firms aren't in the slave trade.
I'm happy to have an honest and open discussion about it but that's not what most people want.

Once you start talking about systemic racism vs the rise of single-motherhood and destruction of the family and glorification of violence within the black communities you're called a racist and the discussion stops there.

There's no room for legitimate discussion and therefore nothing improves and nothing gets better, and in fact things get worse.
It's not a severe diet restriction--you can't completely get rid of carbs but you can easily get down to 20-50g per day. Stick with eating proteins (meat, sausage, chicken, etc.) and most green vegetables. Some nuts and berries are ok too but be very careful about fruits (especially juices which are a massive glycemic spike without any fiber to balance it). After a few weeks you won't miss bread and grains at all. In fact on the rare occasions I have it I think pasta and grains are incredibly bland (try zucchini noodles with a spiralizer, it makes an awesome meal with some sausage and a bit of diced tomatoes and spices).
I've seen those in the US but they're very uncommon. I assume the store pays for itself and it's considered a positive feature of the gas station by many motorists.
At this point it's kind of beating a dead horse. I'm still battling these battles and I'm starting to lose more and more frequently because I'm tired of explaining why "the new hotness" isn't actually a good choice for your primary data store.
> Turns out that doing crazy shit like letting users have their html files in ~/public_html/ requires a lot of SELinux configuration

I guess "setsebool httpd_enable_homedirs on" would do that.

> Also turns out that there isn't a tool which tells you what new rules are needed, relative to the existing configuration, for recent SELinux denies

setroubleshoot should be shipped with RedHat-based distros. Mentioned in https://youtu.be/cNoVgDqqJmM

Besides that, there's domain-based switch-off command, "semanage permissive --add programname_t"

> 111 lines of perl and 116 lines of SELinux rules later, I was in good shape.

I paid a SELinux developer and just nice guy from #gentoo-hardened, perfinion, to help me with setting up my workstations so that I could run untrusted crap like skype in enforced mode. After that, I was in good shape and full of warm cozy safe feeling. And now I can use SELinux hardening stuff at my job.
Or the issue that often the real costs aren't on the companies balance sheet at all. The cost of type II diabetes notably does not show up on food industries balance sheet. Just like the cost of smoking didn't show up in the tobacco companies balance sheets.
I realize the system is not perfect, but it's so much better than nothing, and significantly easier to use than virtualmachines/selinux.

It's naive to dismiss something because it doesn't meet the goal of "100%" secure. In practice it gets you very close and takes almost no effort, no maintenance, no headache. Historically that kind of thing will win in the long run.
It's also a tool that can literally save real, countable lives otherwise factually known to be doomed to horrific suffering and very early death.

If I understand it correctly, your objection is that it may be possible for some group of people to use this to increase suffering in an abstract way.
This reminds me of one of the good things APL has. You can interactively change anything in your workspace, and all the things (array, function, operators) can be serialized, programmatically within the language.
How do you recommend applying security updates to the image, short of running (for example) `apt-get dist-upgrade`? What if that breaks? Do you just continue with the out-of-date image?

As I said in a comment elsewhere, I don't think protectionism is really at the heart of the matter; the acceptance of various degrees of state-guided capitalist development are more thematically central to the "third way".

What causes this phenomenon on HN? I find this happens a lot, where some longstanding project or old article or something gets posted and makes it to the front page without any context as to why it was posted. I'm left to hunt down what made this relevant or what is new on the page that made someone post this and made others upvote it, and often I can't figure it out at all. It's a bit weird.
What happens when packages need to store data?

For example, installing Datomic via Brew will result in databases being stored in:

/usr/local/Cellar/datomic/0.9.5206/libexec/data

How would that work with Nix? Would the data live under /nix?

And most importantly, would that data get squashed because of some kind of idempotency assumptions that Nix might make?
CRI measures how natural the objects' colors appear under an artificial light source against the objects colors under a natural light source (standardized daylight).

The color temperature and luminosity of natural light sources varies tremendously during the course of the day or in different parts of the world, yet the objects colors remain consistent. This is a property of the human vision called chromatic adaptation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromatic_adaptation

Sources which emit a continuous spectrum have better CRI than tri-color sources, especially on artificially colored objects (dyed/pigmented) due to metamerism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metamerism_(color)
LinkedIn Legal: Notice of Data Breach
What if a bot could run a country?
I did a quick review of available solutions some time ago, and what you're listing (apart from apparmor) is not an alternative. I'm assuming that if you're serious about security and capable of digging into complexity, you can just stay with selinux. So if you lack those:

grsec (rbac) - distributions don't really include it apart from arch, gentoo, and other high-maintenance ones; default targetted configs not included

tomoyo - easy to use for developers, but also often not available in default kernel; for normal users? start by explaining to them what syscalls and ioctls are; default targetted configs not included

akari - you're on your own to compile it in, and the tools, and figure out which version you want, and ... (not simple process); default targetted configs not included

apparmor - the only user-friendly alternative right now
The targeted policies and functionality booleans in CentOS are really nice. I took the same step with finally buckling down and actually using SELinux for version 6 and there was definitely a learning cliff, but just like anything else after you've used it for a while it's all old hat.

You may have seen it already, but the CentOS SELinux HOWTO was very useful for me in learning how to interact with it: https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SELinux

>Turns out that doing crazy shit like letting users have their html files in ~/public_html/ requires a lot of SELinux configuration

You should just be able to `setsebool httpd_enable_homedirs on`. What trouble did you run in to?

>procmail touching user directories?

This works by default for me in in C6 and C7: I'm using it on a number of production systems. The ~/.procmailrc should have type procmail_home_t but procmail itself can create/modify/delete files in the user's home dir.

>spamassassin?

Again, should just work. You may need to `setsebool spamassassin_can_network on` depending on configuration.

>a tool which tells you what new rules are needed

That would be nice. My usual process if I'm in a situation that needs custom rules is to:

echo '' >/var/log/audit/audit.log # (it would be better to rotate it here, but you get the idea)
setenforce 0
# Do whatever I want to be able to do...
setenforce 1
sealert -a /var/log/audit/audit.log
And I wouldn't call heavy rain or snow a corner case everywhere outside California. I wonder if we'll tune our infrastructure to help autonomous cars drive in low visibility situations where human drivers are often guessing the lanes. For example digital markers that help the car orient itself without vision.
I'm not sure where you're going with this, but it's digressed far from what I was talking about. To paraphrase your argument, you're talking about assuming convexity, which is a big deal in financial modeling.

If convexity isn't assumed, you're right back to my original point.
There is more to this than "out dated" technology. There is tremendous espionage and malicious activity protection by using outdated technology. The schematics of these systems were never online, making and introducing malware is also prohibitively difficult due to the lack of domain knowledge and expertise on the technology.

There are huge upsides to using outdated technology when it comes to nuclear warheards.
Docker uses SELinux, seccomp and apparmour as well as stock Linux capabilities (in conjunction with namespaces) to reduce the attack surface exposed to a container.

There's nothing inherently insecure about containers (look at FreeBSD and Solaris). The issues you see with Linux "containers" are usually caused by leaky abstractions (namespaces that don't namespace the entire kernel) and insufficiently clever setup scripts. But it is getting better.
What was the problem? I ask not to make it on my servers. Thanks.
Well, how about you flyin' there and the car gets there all by itself the next morning so that you can drive around without renting one? Now that would be cool.
True, but the people involved have much better things to do than join a vaporware research group. The people on this list alone (not to mention the heavily credentialed researchers from previous announcements) must have no problem finding meaningful work in this space, work that would produce results quite quickly. I'm inclined to believe there is something here and OpenAI is just ramping up.
Finding developers is hard. Finding developers who know those languages to support your software is near impossible.
If you are going from one non hub city to another non hub city, the overall air travel time goes up substantially (as well as the cost). It will still be a good deal faster than driving cross country, but if driving is relatively stress free and I can do it through the night, I'm going to be far more likely to skip the stressful lines, running between gates, delays and high prices of air travel. I don't think I'll be alone.
Well... Javascript experience, code reuse between web and app, the possibility of later porting to iOS, etc.

Also people forget that the Nix philosophy doesn't end in the package manager Nix, there's also NixOS which takes a functional approach to configuration management of the whole OS. And many other things.

And yet everyone must live in a society subject to policies that are enacted as response to racism or supposed racism.

To suggest that people should be absolutely silent and not contribute to the discourse that leads to policies that affect their lives is morally abhorrent. Ask them to weight their opinions, sure but telling them to shut up is absurd.
That chart at the top the _number_ of protectionist actions...

As in, Country A takes 2 actions that affects $1 in trade. Country B decides in 1 action that no imports are allowed. And so it concludes Country A is clearly more restrictive.
