Sorry you feel that way, and I fully support your efforts to improve the quality of discussion here - in fact, I'd say be even more active!

I agree the tone is too angry; sorry. In almost all cases I'd agree about such emphasis on a headline - but I think this is an exception. Many people don't read or think past a major publication's very influential headlines (ironic, I know, but certainly many HN and WSJ users read even less than I did).

Foreign Students Seen Cheating More Than Domestic Ones

If they substituted other groups for Foreign, such as certain religions or races, then my response would be broadly supported no matter how the WSJ qualified it in the body. To tar the character of all those students because of their foreign origins is, I still believe, inflammatory, xenophobic, and atrocious.

Anyway, I don't mean to re-litigate the substance of it; I only want to point out that I think this is an exceptional case. Have a great day.

I think another thing this article points out quite noticeably, is the coming Educational Bubble. There's a whole lot of people running around with fancy degrees and seemingly not enough blue collar workers. One would hope we could innovate our way out of that by automating these jobs but I don't think technology is the limiting factor there.
Sure, I'd prefer cash. Fill out a form, click a button, so easy anyone could do it! Which is why Tmo is giving you a share of stock instead. Put up just a little bit of a barrier, and you won't have to give the prize to everybody. (I'm still taking my share, though, even if there are a few hoops involved. Hell, I might even buy 99 more shares just to make it an even lot of 100.)

I think the best way is to design the residential roads so that you have to drive really slow on them.

I think the best idea is to do build the roads so that there is a single middle lane, surrounded by nice cobblestone refuges that is possible to drive on slowly. Also add some space for bicycles and pavements for pedestrians.
I've seen EAGAIN as well l as EBADF errors as a "normal" part of operation against TCP sockets. I say "normal" because I've only seen EBADF once and it was because the client side started talking too early. IOW, when select()/poll() tell you socket 13 is ready and recv() tell you to EBADF, then the socket is just not ready to go just yet. Go around again.

The client side grew up against serial ports ( yes, those are still a thing ) , where you don't have this problem. The owner of the client side was more or less in incredulous terror when I broached this subject. Sigh. So I just ignored them. Big sigh. If it failed, there were retries so the only cost was a little delay now and again.

You cannot fragment UDP unless you're prepared to add some method of sequencing as part of the application protocol. Each UDP PDU needs to be fully atomic otherwise.

For cases analogous to SNMP row creation ( in which multiple varbinds[1] determine the outcome ), there is the "as if simultaneous" rule as a heuristic - all PDUs related to creating a row must be cached and only applied when the row state is set. And sometimes you can configure things to send all varbinds in one PDU.

[1] a varbind is a triple of the set/get/next/multi operator, the object id and if applicable a value as encoded by the SNMP Basic Encoding Rules.

So your little serialization protocol? It suffers all the heartache of a full-on transactional database processing system.

These things are this way because communications are like that.

A better question might be, why do poor US born Americans make poor decisions while poor legal immigrants (regardless of race or color) arrive with nothing and make wiser decisions. These first generation immigrant often escapes poverty within 15-20 years (albeit with very hard work). Their children are more successful then they were and far more successful financially than the US born American's children.

Knowing some of these people immigrant and US born poor the answer is quite obvious to me. No study needs to be conducted, only casual observation. Here are the key differences.

The influence of the US culture is obvious in the US born American. He expects more for less effort (entitlement), he is more easily discouraged when facing adversity, he expects someone to care for him and hand him all the tools and opportunity, his expectations are polar opposite of the immigrant (who expects nothing but what he has earned with his bare hands). He is disillusioned easily and when discouraged, drinks or abuses drugs to forget his problems. He supports liberal or socialist ideals because he feels that they will put cash into his pocket and bring down the wealthy people who "oppress" him. The US born minority (non white) thinks the cards are stacked against him, the minority immigrant sees other minority immigrants who have created wealth and aspires to replicate their success despite it's challenges.

The culture of the US born poor person comes from the media (not just news - all media) they consume and the media saturated people surrounding them. Plain and simple that is the most corrosive thing. Secondarily, the idea that these people must be helped out, they don't have to fight through adversity to succeed. This is the worst thing you can do to a man. A man must be a man and have a fighting will to survive and flourish. If you make him a dependent, you are extinguishing this flame... perhaps forever.

Some of the immigrants I know come from socialist countries and they are coming partly to escape from them. They respect the opportunity to work hard and succeed whereas the US born man does not. Americans have been given too much, they watch too many TV shows and other media which slants their view of reality and what life really is like. They have been over medicated and indoctrinated with views that are unproven and those which claim they are proven "cannot be replicated" (psychological studies).

America needs to look back to see what has worked for us when we were great, take some good things we have now that have worked and put some other things back to the way they once were.

The most revealing thing when looking at immigrants is how by the third generation, they hardly stick out from the lazy culture that their grandparents were so different from.

TLDR: America is too liberal, has too much cheap crap from China (materialism) and watches too much Garbage TV and other media and is too medicated. We are lazy. An immigrant of any color comes over here and works his ass off, escaping poverty.
Yes, exactly. And when someone tries to sue you out of existence for improperly handling patient data, responding with "Improper handling? We don't handle it at all!" is a fantastic defense.

You might piss off whomever your contract is with when you tell them you've been deleting data instead of storing it, and there may be grounds for a different lawsuit. But they can't say you're not HIPPA compliant. [0]

[0] I don't 100% know the specifics of HIPPA, so I'm not sure if this would really apply, because I know you need to keep detailed audits and logs of various things.

Sound like you had no idea if these guys had been involved in taking your TV, you just knew they where involved with the group that did. If a bunch of guys broke into your place in similar circumstances, would you be ok with that?

I'm seeing used, empty, MX480s in the range of $13k on ebay[1]. Plus $3k for add in 10g cards[2]

And I have to pay for support if I want to get updates, security patches, etc... [3]

And I need 2+ of them if I want to multi-home.

So I'm buying a used device of unknown history, that someone is selling for unknown reasons(could be a working pull, could be something with an obscure problem that will surface 3 months later), without a hardware warranty or support, with outdated software, and going to trust my entire network with it and it's internal redundancy. If I could get 3 for that price I might consider it.

I like the SpaceX approach. Don't trust one big expensive engine to get you where you're going. It probably won't fail, but if it does, you're toast. Trust 9 cheaper ones and have enough redundancy that if/when one does fail, you shrug and keep going and just replace it before the next launch.

One thing that stood out to me is that immigration from Canada nearly stopped altogether in the mid 1890s. I wonder if the klondike gold rush was a factor here. I know it spurred a mass migration to the North.

As a collateral effect, even Vancouver's population skyrocketed growing from around 13,700 in 1891 to over 100,000 in 1911.

Actually, yes. I used to be an Apple Genius and whenever we dealt with two machines on separate LANs, that required NAT, there were so many problems with traversing the routers. We had to do manual setups with port forwarding or DMZ. Facetime seems have significantly improved with this (but was awful when it was iChat w/ Group Video chats), but Back to My Mac is still very problematic-- you can see this issue also by trying to Screen Share over iMessage to other people. In my experience it only has about a 50% success rate.

My home setup still doesn't work with Back to My Mac (and hasn't for years).

I'm fine with that. Cost was a factor in helping me quit. Considering the lifetime cost of being a smoker (both in past expenditure and probable future medical expenses) I wish cigarettes had been much less affordable when my parents were puffing away during my childhood. I loathed cigarettes and yet I was in a hurry to try them and sure enough became seriously addicted to tobacco.
This sounds like a management issue more than anything else. The guy screwed up, but how did no one catch on for 6 years? How did he not have someone managing him making sure he had enough work?

Seems like he 'fell through the cracks' of startup culture. The company grew so fast that he was just there and no one questioned it after a while and no one was in charge of him.

Or someone was and they need retraining/firing.
NIMBY is more "Don't use my road, use the road one block over" - in other words, road is the same but not in front of me. Thats a little different than "Don't use my road, use the road that has 3 lanes and no children on it and is labeled for commuting" I feel like there is a difference in that regard; I personally wouldn't want through traffic on my street, but I also don't want it on the streets next to mine either due to how recklessly people drive when trying to beat traffic.
There are levels of poverty. Once you are low enough, you are pretty much unable to afford extra time for either education or probably even proper food. Or time to cook. I personally know a few people pulling 16h of work daily to make ends meet.

What you describe as poverty would be called middle class in quite a few countries. No frills but not really poor.
Especially if you managed to always pay all bills on time.
> I think this post is pretty ignorant.

I'm not expressing any animosity toward, or disdain for, people in poverty. I agree with the article that being poor inhibits people's ability to make good decisions for themselves, and that the best way to break the vicious cycle may be to provide them with enough income that they have more freedom to make decisions that will improve their circumstances.

I disagree with the parent comment's thesis that the poor don't make bad decisions in their lives. That doesn't mean I blame them for their poor circumstances or think that they deserve what they get.

> Yea, people who were formerly rich will have better financial habits. If you were born into poverty, who is going to teach you those good financial habits in the first place?

I agree. Your rhetorical question is correct.

> Yea, that would probably be better diet. But do they even know how to eat healthy? Do they have time to cook? Are they even able to get to a grocery store?

They probably don't know how to eat healthy - just like with the financial habits. I think it must be a pretty small fraction, though, that doesn't have access to a better diet than what they eat now. Cooking need not take more than a single-digit-number of minutes.

> Yea, you could probably get a decent suit at a thrift store for $30. But some people literally can not spare that money. $30 could be the difference between your kids eating or having a roof over your head.

It's true that some people's circumstances are so poor that they cannot survive an additional one-time $30 purchase and can't even set aside $1 per day for a month despite their best efforts. If such a person interviewed for a job that needed professional garb, I would hope that they would explain their situation to the interviewer and that the interviewer would give them special consideration. Maybe they wouldn't, but this scenario seems pretty rare to me and not especially relevant to the discussion at hand.
I think this is on the management as much as the employee. I'd hope employees look for more work to do as opposed to just taking a paycheck.

I use a combination of password and key file so that I can worry less about someone shoulder surfing or otherwise observing the input of my password.

My password database is stored on a USB key that I carry with me, with a regular copy made and securely stored.

Key file is stored on devices I use, in a directory restricted to my own access and on a drive which is encrypted. An encrypted copy is also stored on the USB key with the password database; this can be decrypted using a GPG, key stored on a yubikey and also carried; if a device can be trusted enough, this is how I move the key file around.

Access to the database requires 3 things rather than two. A long passphrase could be recorded by an observer, who could then take my USB key. The key file ensures that they still do not have all that they need.

Dude has 200k in the bank. If he's found motivation, he can just do a masters course. That will teach him a few things and get him back in the coding saddle, and give a plausible reason for why he's looking for work afterwards.

What's scary is the people who actually have been coding for several years and still don't know how to do it. No version control, no idea what common patterns are, ridiculously complex spaghetti code. We all know them.
The actual difference is the concensus rules and that everything is public in a shared chain of transactions / events. It means anybody can interact with it on equal grounds.
Either his manager needs some serious training (or a new job) or he just fell through the cracks and ended up in a position where no one was in charge of him and no one realized it.
McKinsey’s private hedge fund
The general legal precedent here as I see it is that domain registrars are generally not liable for content hosted on domains they sell, nor are they responsible for enforcing them. They usually will cooperate to take down sites if they are obvious phishing attacks, or if there is a court order, but abuse management through this channel is very rare.

More often than that, they refer any reports to the owner of the IP address the domain is pointing to. The "entry point" for almost all abuse (DMCA/phishing/whatever) reporting is whomever holds the abuse contact for the owner of the IP addresses. They simply do a lookup on the IPs with ARIN (or APNIC or RIPE depending on where the IPs are managed), and then email that abuse contact.

We've had plenty of issues with this approach, now that Neocities hosts a lot of sites. I've recently acquired an IP block largely for the purpose of having control over this abuse contact, so that we can directly receive abuse emails. Some providers also do SWIP, which allows you to be the contact for a specific IP address in their block, but not all providers will do this (Ramnode does - DigitalOcean does not. I don't think Google Cloud or AWS do this either, but let me know if they do). Bigger organizations that need this level of control go this route - you'll note that even companies like Uber use their own IP addresses instead of throwing it up on a cloud providers'.

If you're planning to host a lot of user submitted web sites or content, this isn't the easiest/cheapest route, but it's the route you want to seek. I'm available for consulting on this if you'd like to pursue this for your organization, I've become quite the expert on the topic out of necessity. :)

They are not subject to DMCA (not being inside the USA). However, even though they are not subject, they are still "DMCA compliant" because they do not store any data that could infringe upon copyrights, they only store links to that data (or links to ways of accessing).

I like the point @redthrowaway made. "I don't serve food to the public out of my office. Thus, I am trivially in compliance with food safety laws." In the same way, TPB are compliant with the DMCA (and also compliant with food safety laws).

Sure, it might seem like a silly defense, but it's true and it works.
"But there's no way to tease out how much of that $5.1 billion is Azure versus the older products. We also don't know if Azure is profitable, althoug the overall business segment earned $2.58 billion in profits — down 1% from a year ago."

Servers and tools did $4.5B of revenue in FY12, Q3 (https://www.microsoft.com/Investor/EarningsAndFinancials/Ear...). This was before Azure really had any footprint.

You do the math.
They can't. Not the way we typically think of "cracking", anyway.

What they CAN do is try to trick the PC's user into putting a server of some kind onto the PC. If they succeed, then they can just use that. This is essentially what most malware does.
My personal belief is that there aren't huge medtech companies because the people founding medtech companies don't know the market - they are coming at it from the perspective of being in tech, or being successful in other arenas, think something is going to be a great idea, and then the wheels fall off because they misread the actual market for their product (ie it doesn't exist, their product isn't useful) or the product they built is fit for purpose but not fit for function.

To cite an example from the article, I can think of almost no reason why it would be a net improvement to the world if people were able to have their own personal breast ultrasound machine to monitor breast health.
