As for the impact of the wealthy... I don't see any new issue here worth worrying about. The only thing that changed is we see someone pretty wealthy getting crushed by someone extremely wealthy. There is a level of the rich that have found themselves the prey of an even larger predator, and only now do they start caring who gets preyed upon. If anything I'll enjoy watching them fall to a larger version of their own sword.
The Fermi paradox really isn't an issue though to begin with. The following is an excerpt from the excellent Contact with Alien Civilizations: Our Hopes and Fears About Encountering Extraterrestrials:

"The vast majority of search space remains unexplored. Search space does not just mean the three-dimensional volume of the Galaxy. As the Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s Michael Klein explained, it is a multidimensional
space that includes source location, signal frequency, power level, time of arrival, signal modulation, and polarizations.[9]"

And this assumes that electromagnetic transmissions are what we need to look for. Anyhow the Fermi paradox is like seeing just one straw in an enormous haystack, observing that it is not a needle, and then quitting.
One man's "relentless advocacy" is another man's "telling the truth". I take it you'd prefer things that are not true to go unchallenged?

By the way, the use of "M$" is childish and usually marks out 1990s bigots. It's not a good look.

Depop | London | Full-Time | ONSITE | http://www.depop.com

Depop is an established online marketplace and we're looking for Engineers to help us develop and scale our core backend platform and services.

Great team to work with, smart people and growing quickly. There are a few openings at the moment but we're super-keen on hearing from Python devs
with experience of Django, Postgres, RabbitMQ, Mongo, etc. The job would also be a good fit for people with a solid Python background that are interested in getting involved in some Scala or devops work (esp. Docker, Kubernetes).

Check out our jobs page! https://depop.workable.com/
Wow! :) A quick read seems to indicate that the case where the "metal plate with holes in it" approaches a wire mesh (holes are large compared to spacing) is treated in "Reflectors for a Microwave Fabry-Perot Interferometer" published by W. Culshaw in 1959 [1].

It's still locked up behind a paywall though, some 57 years later! :( Anybody have access (or can afford the $13 / $33 to buy it)? I checked if I could access it through DeepDyve but, no.

(Perhaps this is the answer to Q1, that it really hasn't "remained unanalyzed for 180 years", but that our broken way of archiving scientific knowledge has hid the analysis?)

At least in Mexico, Uber (besides a very small number of taxi companies) is the only company that provides "facturas", a government approved invoice. Without it no expenses are deductible. Standard taxis do not provide them most of the time.

That's part of the reason uber was such a big hit in mexico.

So Uber probably knows about the importance of the document, maybe the Chinese don't let them create them.

I don't think it's "shady", I think possibly Musk has a different outlook that's much longer than what most people are considering. He's made no effort to hide that he thinks are the major technologies needed to solve some global problems. Even if he's propping Solar City up, his belief that solar is essential in the future can mean that be believes he's also acting in the best interest of everyone involved. Solar City has a large share of the US solar market, and letting that go to waste when there may be plenty of ways to capitalize on that in a few years would be wasteful.
The Trade Desk | Full Time, Onsite | San Jose CA, San Francisco CA, Aliso Viejo CA, Ventura CA, Boulder CO, New York NY, London UK, Sydney AUS

Hiring: All levels of software engineers, as well as front-end focused developers who are comfortable with data-access design, development and optimization.

You might be a great fit for The Trade Desk dev team if..

* You are a full-stack engineer who wants to work everywhere, not just a small subset of components. Experience / interest in working in a variety of layers and technologies within a SOA is a must for our team. This includes: client-side AngularJS / JQuery, MVC-based web architecture, external RESTful APIs, distributed (and in our case, highly scaled) request handling services, no-SQL and relational SQL databases, many-layered data pipeline (e.g. data bus architecture, Hadoop / MPP data warehouse, etc.) that moves hudreds of thousands of items per second, and data visualization (e.g. Tableau). Experience in all these layers is not strictly required, but we do like to see experience working in more than one, as well as eagerness to work on projects that might slice through them all.

* You have product-driven software development experience using a modern, object-oriented language. Memory-managed languages are best -- .e.g. C#, Java, Python, Ruby, etc. We do most of our work in C#/.Net, but specific experience here is not required.

Cool stuff about TTD:

* Our platform processes 3.5million+ queries per second

* Work with the best engineering team in AdTech

* The combination of huge datasets, high throughput, low latency and amazing scale means that we're constantly solving some of the biggest challenges in computer science.

* We've grown faster than any other adtech company in the industry, and have been recently recognized as one of the fastest growing companies in America by Inc. Magazine and Deloitte.

* Amazing Company Culture (We're very proud of our 5.0 rating on Glassdoor)

* Top-tier benefits

> a private company has private equity

So a VC, an investor... can buy a share of the private company?

And then as the value of the private company grows, so does the value of the VC's share?

If there isn't a public market for such shares, then how does the VC sell the share?
Exactly, sorry to the parent if that wasn't obvious. When you have state controlled entities (and very large ones in energy, utilities, etc), then the idea of antitrust laws is laughable.
A very thought-out proposal in its execution; I was pleased to see the section on bidirectional mirroring, outlining the options, and deferring to the consortium.
NCC Group (formerly Matasano Security, iSEC Partners, and Intrepidus Group) - Atlanta, Austin, Chicago, New York, San Francisco, Seattle, and Sunnyvale, CA

As you kick back in your beach chair with an icy beverage within reach, soaking up the hot August sun and wondering what areas of your body you forgot to apply sunscreen to adequately, take a moment to consider the bigger picture! Perhaps the time is right to make a career (or company) change! If you want to join a dynamic, fast-growing company full of some of the best infosec minds in the business... consider NCC Group!

If you’re a tinkerer, you enjoy breaking more than building, or someone who wonders “why” and ends up down the rabbit hole 36 hours later with a disassembled air conditioning unit surrounding them... we’d love to hear from you! Our process welcomes those with years of experience, as well as those with little to no direct experience in what we do.

The bottom line: if you love security and research, NCC Group just may be a perfect fit for you.

What do we do exactly? Penetration testing, security analysis, and cutting-edge research into current technologies and attacks (breaking things). You spend most of your day thinking about security systems and how they can break. You get to be creative and have a lot of freedom to be clever while learning new technologies at a very fast pace. Engagements are usually 2-4 weeks long and in a year you will be exposed to 15-20 products and technology stacks. Your work will typically initiate person-months of security improvements in products millions of people use. You will have access to senior engineers/architects and your findings/ideas will be heard by senior decision makers. You will have enormous impact in making the software people use safer.

All of our consultants are also security researchers, with dedicated research time. Not too shabby!

This is simply not true. The conservative movement has utterly failed at keeping taxes and revenue low.

If budgets are constrained, it's because spending has simply risen faster than tax revenue.
I can't reconcile that dubious claim, either.

Based on the post, it appears that management didn't have basic financial skills.

How did Uber get 17.7% of Didi (88% of Uber China shares) if they didn't own more than 50% of Uber China to begin with?
Also, it was reported that Uber got 17% of economic interest, but only 5.89% of full equity? I assume the rest of the 17% was non-voting shares?
From Wikipedia:

"Bloomberg Businessweek has called private equity a rebranding of leveraged-buyout firms after the 1980s. Common investment strategies in private equity include: leveraged buyouts, venture capital, growth capital, distressed investments and mezzanine capital."

So this is just a continuation of the Gordon Gekko LBO firms, made possible by the deregulation of Wall St that occurred around that time.

No surprise here. The Wall St genie is out of the bottle, and it will continue to wreak havoc until we have another Great Depression.

I think the whole thing breaks down with holodecks. Why would anyone put up with reality with virtual reality is so real? The propaganda budget must be huge, to convince people that there is value in serving real-life society (and the Federation) to prevent society from being wiped out by an external force.

> The second category, uncommon downloads, covers downloads which may not be malicious or unwanted but that are simply not commonly downloaded.

> it is possible that you have been tricked into downloading a malicious file from a phishing site which has not yet been identified as such by the Google Safe Browsing service.

Does this mean that sites that have some kind of personalized downloads or downloads that are created on the fly (like generated PDFs for example, or watermarked content) will always create a warning for the user on download?
While it's true that there will be more precipitation overall, models predict that the distribution will change. For example, northern US and Canada will be wetter, especially in winter, but central US will be dryer, especially in summer. The Ogallala aquifer is already depleted.
> Do you believe a user should be able to "MITM" her own traffic or not?

I do, but that is utterly irrelevant to this discussion. We are discussing what certificate pinning is and how it works.

You can currently perform certificate pinning on every single operating system you can imagine. You can do this in a way that completely ignores the trust store of that operating system, and anything the user does to this is ignored by the application.

This has been possible for years on Android. This has been possible for years on Windows. This has been possible for years on Linux.

All the developer has to do is include the certificate of their own CA with the application, restrict the SSL's trust store to this one certificate, and then also check the fingerprint of the resulting certificate offered by the server. Then if the application notices this fingerprint is incorrect, it bails.

This is reality. This is how it works. Nothing I believe or want will change this. No amount of certificates I install in my operating system's trust store will change this either.

What android is doing is making MITMing yourself harder. But it's always been 100% possible for developers to make MITMing impossible without first reverse engineering the app and replacing the baked in certificate.

That's just the way it works.
Whoever owns the copyright for the page content doesn't own the copyright for the ads. They are separate works. If I have a copyrighted work that says "please insert an ad from Google here" I am under no obligation to do so.
Since there really isn't any good technical reason for that not to be the case, it is painfully obvious that Google doesn't care enough to actually fix the problem and the OEMs and carriers have no incentive to provide updates, so most of them don't.

Interesting discussion here, slamming both Reframed and Simon.

If you are reading this and wondering, the Simon character in this play follows a very common pattern for the "Ad Fraudster." This particular con takes advantage of two victims, a web site which thinks it can make money with advertising, and advertising networks who have excess advertising to sell.

One convinces the web site to host the javascript that will fetch ads from the network (they do that with an ads API call or when they are super bold they ask the web site to host a script that will fetch the script from the ad site and run it (yes people actually do this)) Then our fraudster drives traffic to the web site (botnets, click farms, what have you) to generate traffic and ad clicks. Which they collect from the ad agencies (and if they add affiliate tags affilliate fees) but tell the web site that it will take "90 days for the transactions to settle given everyone wants to limit click fraud."

Now depending on how much work they want to do and how much organic traffic the website gets, they can leech thousands of dollars a day off a web site. They feed fraudulent traffic in that keeps clicking on their ads, they spew affiliate cookies like confetti, and try to gather that revenue, and they sometimes "mirror" back to the actual advertiser network (taking one click on one ad and tell several networks it was a click on their ad)

And here is the sad bit, while its fraud, if the advertiser gets upset they go after the web site, if the web site is upset they go after the advertiser, if everyone starts yelling our fraudster just moves on with all the cash they have pocketed.
What is it? I can't imagine many on HN are going to register for something just to find out what it is.
