Review: Sound BlasterX H5 Gaming Headset
Having lived in an Urban Renaissance complex that hosted a convenience store (not a 7-Eleven, but a local co-operative), I can certainly understand how seniors would stay social there. You'd always run into neighbours while grabbing groceries and end up chatting. The place worked as a good social hub.

Delaney is referring in the US to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. You can read more about it here: https://www.sec.gov/spotlight/fcpa/fcpa-resource-guide.pdf

Suffice it to say that the realities of doing business internationally are complicated. One complication is that companies wanting to do business worldwide will, with probability 1, be asked to pay bribes. The US considers bribing officials to be anathema and will essentially exercise universal jurisdiction with respect to the act if committed by a US person or entity.

There exist laws in the US which are utterly non-enforced, and there exist laws in the US which are enforced vigorously, with extreme prejudice. The Act is, like most, somewhere in the middle.

Not to my knowledge. In fact, the AI of F.E.A.R. is still more or less looked at as a benchmark of good FPS AI. I'm really struggling to think of any game that has surpassed it. The FPS genre has been dominated by titles focused on multiplayer for the last 6-8 years, so AI has been fairly stagnant.
Self driving cars were in google X, which has basically no relation to ads besides for being funded by them indirectly.

Personally, I drive an old diesel truck and it's as simple as disconnecting the fuel cut-off solenoid wire from the solenoid. Old diesels like mine are terrifically simple and really only have two wires: the starter positive lead and the fuel cut-off lead. The cut-off lead opens a solenoid that lets fuel flow to the motor. Remove power and it shuts the flow and stops the engine. The easiest way stop a completely mechanically injected diesel.

In the European Union, the “right to be forgotten” on the Internet is protected by law. I believe it is the right thing to do, but I recognize the issue rests on a delicate equilibrium, maybe yet to be found.

On the one hand, we wouldn’t expect our daily interactions to be recorded and stored for long. Most of them, anyway – and certainly so for our most personal ones. On the other hand, the web is a medium where things tend to last a while, if not for very long thanks to efforts such as the Internet Archive’s. The delicacy of where to rest the equilibrium, I think, stems from the particularity of the web as a medium itself: a web page is kind of like ye olde book, but it adds the possibility of easy changes and user interactivity. In other words, if so used, a web will sit between traditional written media and face-to-face (or technologically mediated, but unrecorded) interaction.

Perhaps by custom, perhaps by nature, we expect personal interaction to be ephemeral, and we have no problem with other media, such as books, newspapers, etc., to store their contents for long. It’s no harm to publish a book with our thoughts and have it found across libraries in the world (indeed, it is a very nice thing), but we would feel violated if our conversations at home where recorded without proper cause.

The web stays somewhere in between. It’s a place for words to lie and last, but also for personal interaction. Personally, I favor ephemerality on the Internet, but don’t see it as characteristic of it. It’s not a given, and we should find a place for it, but only as far as personal interactions go. I want to be able to remove (or, at least, anonymize) whatever I post online in the manner of a casual conversation. But I want other kinds of content, such as manuals, news, etc., to be preserved from ephemerality.

I’m not sure whether The Internet Archive stands within these bounds. I would like to see it more as an opt-in facility for website administrators, instead of requiring manual forbidding.

That seems like quite a hassle to pop the hood every time you're ready to drive the car, then pop it again when you're done. It also would prevent electronic locks from working.

Much simpler to install, for sure. But having a hidden toggle switch somewhere is a lot simpler for every day operation IMO.

Supporting a non-profit organization working for a more secure Internet could easily fall under a "valid business purpose" for a site like HN.

HN's entire business mandate, such as it is, seems to be to encourage technological growth in the interest of profiting tangentially off the growing pie.

Edit: as for whether Comodo had a "valid business purpose" for the action, sure, in the same sense that patent trolls have a valid business purpose. Read this statement by their CEO: https://forums.comodo.com/general-discussion-off-topic-anyth...

It's surreal. He tries to shift the blame to Let's Encrypt for choosing 90 days as their default certificate expiration date, somehow implying that 90 days is Comodo IP.
Noam Chomsky – On the Threat of Artificial Intelligence
By VPN I mean something that can be used individually by developers from their own machine (is there a proper technical term for this type?), not static point to point from a site such as an office (which is what CloudVPN seems made for).

We ended up setting up OpenVPN, which shouldn't be necessary. SSH is great and all, but when you add Kubernetes and other sensitive things like dashboards, you really want to virtualize everything and hide every internal service behind a proper, solid VPN gateway.

Hotfixes in Erlang
In chapter 4, padding outside structure. Isn't the compiler free to do whatever it wants there? There might not even be a need to reserve memory for some variables if the optimizer concludes they are irrelevant for the program?
CAs are forbidden from issuing a cert for * .co.uk. The Baseline Requirements say:

> The CA MUST establish and follow a documented procedure that determines if the wildcard character occurs in the first label position to the left of a "registry-controlled" label or "public suffix" (e.g. "* .com", "* .co.uk", see RFC 6454 Section 8.2 for further explanation).

This basically means that the CA should check the Public Suffix List before they issue a wildcard.

As a 'just in case' measure, most modern browsers also reject certs where the wildcard is directly below something on the PSL.

(sorry for the spaces after the asterisks, HN seemed to like converting big chunks of the post to italics)
2FA that is long lived and only protects the device does not sound as secure for something this critical.

>the country is again fighting against Russia

i wonder when was the previous fight? Does it mean the fight between Soviet Red Army and Ukranian nationalists forces OUN/UPA during WWII? Those OUN/UPA who collaborated with Nazi, and performed the genocide of Poles and Jews, in particular in Lviv region where Ukranian population was only 10% before the genocide. The forces that came to power in Kiev in February 2014 have always celebrated the leaders of the OUN/UPA (i.e. Bandera, Shushkevich and the likes) and have made them official heroes of Ukraine since then. No wonder that Russians in Donbass(30+%) and Russians in Crimea(60%) felt that it is "time to go" when these forces took power by coup and the very first act of the new regime during the first days in power was the "[Anti Russian] language law". The message was pretty clear.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massacres_of_Poles_in_Volhynia...

"The killings were directly linked with the policies of the Bandera faction of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN-B) and its military arm, the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, whose goal as specified at the Second Conference of the OUN-B on 17–23 February 1943 (or March 1943 according to other sources) was to purge all non-Ukrainians from the future Ukrainian state."

Wildcards are in the version of the ACME spec at https://letsencrypt.github.io/acme-spec/:

> A server MAY consider a client authorized for a wildcard domain if it is authorized for the underlying domain name (without the “*” label).

Although this seems to be gone from https://ietf-wg-acme.github.io/acme/, which I think is the later version.
Except when it forgets that you have said hardware installed.
The incident report isn't done yet, so please be patient as the team finalizes the root cause and next steps. However, it didn't affect all routes, VMs, etc. and you'll see that when they publish the IR next week.
Classic reasons are
1: They are spending more than they are earning (to keep growing)
2: They want to spend more than they are earning (to grow faster)
3: Existing investors want to sell some or all of their shares
4: They don't need the money but the deal is too good to turn down
5: The investor can make a real difference to the company
6: They want to acquire something

I'm guessing 1 with a bit of 2, 3 and, absolutely, 4.

If the business is fundamentally unprofitable then they will keep needing to raise money to survive. If the market prices for companies like this drop then they will struggle to raise again and the business will need to be restructured (or growth slowed) to be cash flow positive.
I'm guessing they are still in land grab phase and spending as fast as they can to extend globally and within existing markets. $850 million is a lot of money, but it's easy to spend when you have the world to spend it on, and the battle is not won, not at all.

I echo your sentiments. I run Azure in production at my job, running both Windows and Linux stuff and constantly run into weird edge cases, inconsistencies and stuff that just doesn't make sense.

There's really only one thing I can think of that I love is resource groups. It's nice to be able to group together everything in a deployment, for quick access and administration.

Companies focus on iOS and Android on mobile and Win32 and macOS, sometimes Linux, and many apps are nowadays web apps. Look at the Windows store, for years it is a wasteland with just a few good apps and lots of junk. WinRT/UniversalRT has too many downsides and no major benefits compared to Win32. Even PC gamers prefer Steam with normal Win32 games and are better of with sticking to it. WinStore is a trainwreck. Their WinPhone10 already failed spectacularly with decreasing smartphone OS market share of around 1% world wide. I can imagine that Microsoft might improve the Win32 touch support (a UI theme with larger buttons) and add Win32 support to their mobile next Win mobile OS. Running (legacy) Win32 apps would certainly on mobile would be huge for enterprise customers. Attaching a phone to a monitor and place a Bluetooth keyboard in front and you would have a full PC that you can carry around in your pocket. Whereas their current continuum desktop is just a bad joke and doesn't fulfil the vision at all (just a desktop background where only Office works no other third party PC applications)!
Directing us to think about children invites us to have terrible nightmares about what could happen to them, and this could be called a kind of terrorism.

Do you feel the same way about App Engine Flexible Environment (neé Managed VMs)? That is, is your complaint that GAE Standard offers you all these services (like Memcache, Task Queues, Datastore) or that you hate the sandbox it's in?

The GAE team has been (admittedly slowly) pushing the services that were GAE only into being fully-consumable "Cloud Platform" services (e.g., Cloud Datastore is the same Datastore that's been "part of" App Engine forever, but now accessible from anywhere).

It's your choice to use Datastore, and I respect that you would chose to avoid it, but the basic PaaS idea of "here's some code, run it for me as a web endpoint" is still compelling even today.

I think I was one of the first of my peers to get a job at 15. It's not that my parents didn't pay for things for me, just that they had their ideas of what they wanted me to do, and my ideas of what I wanted to do were different.

I haven't been unemployed for a significant time since, I've been out of work 2 months now (I start my new job in a week) and it's driven me up the wall.

Most people I knew in high school never had a job, and I knew a few people at university who managed to go through their entire degree without a job as well. These people have never worked a day in their life, they're going to have massive issues when it comes to actually finding a career. I'd never hire someone who's 20-something with no job experience.

Upon saying that, along the way I've picked up an attitude of work harder, not smarter, which I've been struggling to reverse. I worked for half a decade in kitchens, where that was the prevailing attitude, nobody would spend 5 minutes to save them 20 minutes. Chefs aren't known for being intellectuals and good managers.
Is this both automated defense and offense via machine learning, or just automated defensive systems? If it includes automated offensive systems, what's to keep these kinds of systems from jumping outside of their sandboxes and compromising the outside world?

I implemented fast parallel reduction on the GPU with WebGL
7-Eleven Japan also owns 7-Eleven US, and I think elsewhere. When 7-Eleven in North America was in trouble in the early 1990's, the Japanese franchise bought and bailed them out.
Hi guys. For the purpose of demonstrating the GPGPU capabilities of
the WebGL framework regl(https://github.com/mikolalysenko/regl), I
implemented this parallel reduction algorithm on the GPU. Even if I
run it on my silly integrated graphics card, the GPU is like
four times faster than the CPU.

Yet the implementation is just a simple full-screen shader that is run
for a couple of passes. You can see the source code
here: https://github.com/mikolalysenko/regl/blob/gh-pages/example/...

In case you are not familiar with parallel reduction, I will explain
it here: given some elements x0, x1, x2,..., and a binary operator
'op', the parallel reduction becomes 'op(x0, op(x1, op(x2,...)
))'. For example, given the elements 4, 2, 4, 1, and the operator '+',
the parallel reduction will be 11, which is just the sum of the
elements.

So parallel reduction can for instance be used to compute the maximum,
sum, or minimum of a list of elements. It is a very important
component for many parallel algorithms. These kinds of parallel
algorithms on the GPU is what makes Google's TensorFlow library so fast.
I'd love to learn more about the techniques actually being used in thse systems. Any good pointers to some scientific papers or review articles on the subject? I have a background in machine learning so am comfortable with technical papers.

I think you're saying you want something like our BeyondCorp setup: moving from the office to a coffee shop doesn't change that you're still the authenticated user that we trust, you're just on a sketchy network now.

That's feasible but only things that do certificate exchange (https etc is easy enough). For what it's worth, part of the reason for Cloud Shell (the little shell within the web console) is so that you can interact with your infrastructure from inside the GCP network. That doesn't solve all your needs (like dashboards or deploying code from your laptop) but is often quite handy.
I bet we can find at least two people in this thread who would ALREADY trust a Google Self-Driving Car. Clearly, the guy watching Harry Potter while his Tesla flew down the highway towards a semi truck trusted his Tesla... and it cost him his life.

For everyone you can find who will, without reason, be afraid of this technology, you will find someone who will, without reason, trust it implicitly.
You should probably look at OSM (eg. OSMAnd, but there are others). I just download the whole country map before I visit somewhere.

I just tried VimStyle and wow you are right. This extension is smooth!
As adults we can often be imprecise in our praise of others and expect them to just understand that we meant it as a complement.

If you tell an adult 'wow you really are clever' it usually means that you appreciate what they did for you or the team and you're trying to say thank you too.
Science can often be helped by some questioning, esp. from scientists outside the field of study.

I've seen a lot of evidence that medium-nothing companies are either unwilling or unable to promote from within.
So far it's been very bad for us. The always-on telemetry in Win10 draws a big question mark if we can depend on Windows in future. While Windows 7 is great and around until at least 2020, an expensive move to Linux, FreeBSD or Android seems like the better option.
Of course it can.

What does an intelligent kid do? Find the easiest way to do a task or question whether the task is necessary at all. That's just humans conserving energy. Which is smart. This is not the hard part for them, they excel at this.

Effort is consciously fighting against the drive to stop working. THIS is the hard part. Above average children never have to learn this, because they get through school and life that easy. It's only when they are forced to leave their comfort zone, when problems show up.

Intelligent Children who aren't kept or lead out of this effort-avoidance (which is a kind of motivation as well: the motivation to avoid effort in order to conserve energy) also tend to get worse grades after they got good ones.

Because praising them signals them that they actually overachieved and can therefore put even less energy into accomplishing a task.

So the way to go is praising them for doing something that they didn't want to do or for repeating effort.
