>It behooves IDS vendors to make people think that nation-states are regularly trying to invade their systems and it's free publicity to come out and corroborate the mainstream narrative, so they play along/feed into it and say "Yeah it was definitely the Russians even though there's no way we'd actually know that since our software wasn't installed until after-the-fact". This is especially blatant with the follow-on firms that just wanted to cash in on the available PR by saying "uh, yeah, we detected that too".

There is precedent for security vendors falsely claiming that nation states are responsible for some attack when it actually wasn't.

However, in this case top security vendors in direct (and sometimes aggressive competition) with each other are in total agreement, as is every public statement from the intelligence community.

Now, of course, it is in the US government's interest to paint Russia in a bad light, so claims alone aren't enough here. But look at the actual investigative trail ThreatConnect and CrowdStrike presented, and compare it to the past ~5 years of activity from what are almost definitely the same actors, and it's hard to believe they're anything other than a Russia-affiliated group.
ls is an alias for Get-ChildItem. However, grep is the native command in this case. While such things work to some extent, it has the problem of turning your objects into plain strings. Effectively the same as if you had run

(ls | % Name) -match '_'

The fact that the file's name is its default string conversion can be pretty annoying when dealing with results, e.g. from gci -recurse where it's quiet important to retain the path to the file. So, careful with such things. On Stack Overflow I tend to scold people who reduce PowerShell objects to strings without good reason ;-)
> Now, interpreting the words I say is a different matter, but as far as transcription I'd say we are at basically 100% right now and have been for a while.

What? Sometimes I use Google's speech to text and a majority of the time it's a waste of my time. "Food near me" is not "fool's errand" (the irony isn't lost on me) and "gyms nearby" is not "Jim Dougherty", both are search terms I used last night.
As if C# were any less driven by PHB-dictated internal enterprise mandates than Java is.
It could still be a warning, since doing so is dubious in C++ even if it is allowed.
Oh my.

Nevermind. `/.+@.+/` it is.
> It should be done by the government

There's not been a good history with that.
Sadly its likely being done to score election points with minorities who they will claim are unfairly treated by the "private prison industry" which actually is more truthful if portrayed as the union prison industry which contributes to the party that will portray otherwise
Warning: may melt your GPU.

You're not wrong. That put a workstation-class GPU in a water-cooled system up about 20 degrees C within a few seconds. And it was still not fast enough to animate smoothly during the more demanding parts later in the sequence.

Awesome effect, though. :-)
The CEO of an oil company represents all of the people that work for that company, and the many people who are investors in that company (often including pension funds, which are beholden to those same teachers in the union). It's disingenuous to act like the CEO's interests are the only ones involved in a corporation's lobbying. Indeed, CEOs are often voted out of companies by the board.

Are businesses less democratic that unions? Almost certainly. Does that change whether or not their actions are moral? I would argue not. My step-father was a in a union for a long time, and spent time as an officer for the union. He didn't have much great to say about it.
It's going to put them all out of work, eventually. Similar to training your replacement.
is otto using LIDAR or camera tech to for vehicle automation?
That was my biggest question from the post as well. Maybe I'm missing their "big picture" but that sounds a little too good to be true.
There is additional context in the Bloomberg article posted this morning. [1, 2]

Based on the timestamps, kinda looks like the Otto blogpost was prompted by the Bloomberg article -- even though the "agreements were reached" in July according to Bloomberg.

Please read my comments more carefully before criticizing them. I said that they should be barred from lobbying for "any law that is likely to result in more prisoners or higher sentences".

I'd love to see all of these organizations lobby for laws that are likely to result in overall decreases in inmate counts, and/or lower sentences.

Been playing with it ever since I got a new Windows laptop for college (I usually would have installed Debian but I prefer OneNote to notetaking apps on available on Linux). The interesting part is that it's not a VM; the LoW subsystem translates Linux syscalls to Win32 ones
>Unity engine just isn't performant enough

I'm sorry, but do you really know what you're talking about? Unity is head and shoulders above UE4 these days, especially when it comes to lighting. For VR it's really not even a question that Unity is the only solid choice right now. Valve built the entire "The Lab" experience in Unity which is widely regarded as the finest VR experience thus far.
I'm not the original person you were speaking with - sorry for any confusion.

Although you have me curious how you would check with code without using regex.
Yes, the stable release is lagging behind a bit, as it must be stable :)
But these things can be cheaply localized into hubs and turned into shift work, can't they?
cool!

Luckily my kobo ebook reader has pocket integration though :)
No, I am no westerner. I know what I am talking about. My country was oppressed by the British Empire and was left independent severely impoverished. But we are on our way up, slowly and steadily. People have moved on and have learnt to stand united in diversity
Is that because of Unity or is it because of the constant phoning in to the servers?
Isn't the FBI also conducting similar kinds of surveillance activities as the NSA, though not as broad in scope?
This fascinatingly illustrates a concept that Chomsky emphasizes, but is rarely so glaringly obvious:

In the US the government does not need to crack down on free expression the way the government in China or Singapore does, because American corporations happily apply censorship without any legal requirement to do so.

This is why some stories are essentially missing from our newspapers and news broadcasts, etc.

I highly recommend the documentary "Manufacturing Consent" which features a lot of Chomsky's ideas on this kind of thing.

My anecdata is that it was a very powerful experience for me. For me it was less about the size of David and more about the details. You can see the veins in his forearms. Depending on the angle of viewing the expression on his face seems to change significantly.

How did they enforce it? Couldn't the prisoner just leave? Or were these non-pacifist Quakers?
Why logging is overkill? How to justify pulling in an additional external

TLDR for old C hackers:

The pins are memory-mapped registers at fixed physical memory addresses. You can use mmap to map the physical address to your process's virtual address space. From there, you can just read and write the array. Note that you will run into hardware timing issues if you try to do this too fast.

> By using mmap and toggling the register directly from a C++ program, the GPIO can be toggled at about 2.8 MHz, much faster than the device driver approach.[3] If you think this approach will solve your problems, think again. As before, there are jitter and multi-millisecond dropouts if there is any other load on the system.

There is a system file abstraction in place. But, it seems like a lot more work for a 20x overhead vs manipulating a struct. The tiny example program at the bottom is what more my style. http://www.righto.com/2016/08/the-beaglebones-io-pins-inside...

I read through this article rather quickly. I'd be happy to hear if I got anything wrong.
The condemnation of the behavior of the Brazilian crowds is international.
Anything that needs a rich graphical interface and a simple programming model? I've seen these things in things like digital signs, kiosks, etc.
Most people writing PowerShell scripts are likely dabblers though. Anyway, I have to admit I don't really appreciate the whole pipeline idea; I just know that `$something = Some-Function` sometimes wouldn't do what I thought it would because of these semantics.
It does. I wonder if Uber's accounting department really thinks this is a good idea. If Uber has to pay for gas, spare tires, oil changes, cleaning, theft, vandalism, insurance, moving violations, taxes, plus maintenance of what ever gizmos and gadgets it takes to auto drive these XC90s they may find it is cheaper to just underpay regular drivers.
It's actually quite a shallow treatment. That's OK. Presumably, most folks who just want to use the things don't want to know about transience in chaotic attractors or VC-dimension and Radamacher complexity and stuff like that.
Haha, good catch and revelations in this article. It's funny, I find myself explaining to my daughter whenever she watches any form of video footage while we're out and about during our day that "they're only actors". I remember once watching some old Kurosawa movies and he did this one take bit or some other really long scene that moved so slowly, I found myself getting edgy and bored. And then it struck me, "wait, this guy is like letting parts of the film unfold at real life pace". And that's the crux, when filmed things transpire at the pace of real life they seem slow and dull. Most produced and edited material adds a great deal of effect and storytelling, but it's funny to see that apply to something you'd think was completely unadulterated natural footage. Good oxymoronic effect.
Do’s and Don’ts of AWS Lambda
Certainly, why would you want that vs. a $5 Rapsberry Pi Zero which does have an actual GPU, media acceleration, etc., more RAM, a more powerful CPU, etc.
this is true, however he wrote in his personal blog that:

"Never in that process did I experience any pressure to “fill beds” in the private prisons we built. And if I had, it wouldn’t have worked. It might happen elsewhere, but it absolutely did not happen in New Mexico when I was Governor. At the time, the “per-prisoner” cost in the state prisons was $76 per day. The cost to house prisoners in the private facilities was $56 per day. Better service, lower cost."
Well, they've got the right people on the project, and the right sensors. This is ahead of Tesla.
It's former Google self-driving car engineers so they have a lot more than a few months of knowledge about the domain.
I'm not concerned about bugs that happen here and there. The occurrence is probably lower than human-made driving errors. The biggest fear is that since the control may be centralized, one failure or bug could potentially be pushed out to millions of cars, instead of being isolated to just one car in the case of human error
I can't think of any other reason than that Choudary was good business for Twitter. They got so many advertisements delivered to potential suicide bombers, machete attackers and Syria jihadists that it was profitable.
I would argue that this is the best: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HCLUL5O/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?...

Off the top of my head, with no experience in this field, appliance displays? E.g. a screen on your fridge. Or even the screen in your car? Touch interfaces of roughly this size are popping up everywhere.
Writing awk to do it is definitely more work than calling obj.Property though.
Have you read up on Moxie Marlinspike stuff? He's an anarchist, sailer, security researcher, runs WhisperSystems & etc(there's also a documentary he did on getting an old boat, fixing it, and go sailing with his friends). To me that's what a non-alienated life looks like, you do stuff you want and love(my main issue with working for others is that it kills my enjoinment of programming!).

I think the issue is not about "what lifestyle", thinking is lifestyle terms seems to be a byproduct of living in the spectacle society itself! To me this stuff is first and foremost about truth in life, true freedom, but of course this path is arduous, there are uncountable layers of overly-simplified semi-truths over us.
I think Steam's a great experience. It seems leaps and bounds ahead of competition. The coolest thing about it to me is how it keeps expanding in innovative ways. I picked up a Steam Link and Steam Controller last year, and it's really nice to be able to play a PC game in the living room whenever I feel like it. SteamVR is also great.

I guess the mobile app is kind of crappy. I've never really cared as I don't see any reason to use it.
Is SME like Intel's SGX?
So, $15/mo extra for packets to originate from a device other than your phone. Another $25/mo for "HD Video" (That is, if you pay $25, Uncle Legere won't take your TCP connection out back and bust it's knee-caps)

How the hell did we end up in the situation where Verizon is the most sensible carrier with regard to net neutrality (A bit is a bit is a bit, be it from laptop, phone, tablet, netflix, google, or HN).
You've taken one absurd article (not even cited), and used it to fuel some specious argument that just people regard western colonialism as unique. I'm just pointing out that British colonialism (directly relevant, because of Pakistan) was a bad thing, regardless of whether other empires also acted savagely, and regardless of whether a handful of people use it as an excuse for current abhorrent behaviours.

Not sure what's so hard to understand.
No worries bursting my bubble, I learned a bunch, so that was cool. I'll have to take a look at the private K-12 schools in my area. I assumed they were going to the benefit of whoever owned the schools.

I stand partly corrected, but there are also XSeries tracks for courses from Professional Education.
and private organizations such as Twitter are fully within their rights to further limit speech on their platforms as they see fit.

You tell me when I can operate a segregated lunch counter or refuse to bake a gay wedding cake and I'll consider your argument to have a tiny bit of merit. That ship has long sailed.

And if Twitter and company think they can continue to sh*t on roughly half the nation's population without nasty consequences, they are in for a rude surprise in due course.

Trump?

Oh, you meant criminal sentencing, not grammar. Got it.
I wouldn't think of it as a replacement for bash/zsh or other shells. Those are meant to control the OS and run programs where powershell is an environment to programatically interact with API's. They can both fill similar roles but their not the same.
GitHub is just the distribution here, and software licenses are subject to change. That's the embrace portion.

Hypothetically, Powershell becomes widely used on Unix, and Microsoft releases Powershell 2, which extends Powershell. This version only runs on Windows and contains killer features. These new features can't be implemented from the GitHub source either technically or because of intellectual property. That's the extinguish step.
Im not so sure of that. The hardest part of trucking is the first 1% of the trip and the last 1% of the trip. I envision that the robotic trucks will leave and enter into designated facilities at the outskirts of town, from there a trucker can take the truck to the client to unload and sign the paper work, bring it back and set it on its new course. I think it will allow truckers a more specialized role of client service and trickier city driving, and to work in one city every day, instead of travelling.
Add a digitizer to it and it'd work well as a "soft keyboard" (visual modal button grid) on POS terminals et al.

These would also work well for bottom-dollar thin-client hardware operating over the core X11 or VNC protocol (i.e. rects + pixbuf texture handles.)

How to keep your boss happy while you build a side business
Teams that have achieved "mind meld" didn't just start there, never needing much communication. When you see this, it's usually because the team has had excellent communication together for many months/years, to the point that they have a rich understanding of each other and their communications can express a lot of meaning very efficiently.
> Is it really possible to have an "observer" of a self driving vehicle step in to save it in the event of an emergency? If you trust the vehicle for thousands of hours, and it never has a problem, you would of course start sleeping, reading, watching movies, etc. while it drives. The act of driving keeps you engaged, watching a car drive itself would be beyond boring.

"BEEP! BEEP! Wake up Jim! Our simulation predicts we'll be getting into an accident after we turn the upcoming bend."
this is the most insightful comment on remote working that i've read on HN
Truckers are paid per mile and have a driving limit of 11 hours per day and 70 hours per week. Having an autopilot take over for part of the trip could substantially increase the ground they can cover in a day.
They aren't correct. A company or web platform can't take away your right to free speech. They can just refuse to help you reach their users.
I think most people knew something along these lines would happen when Facebook bought Oculus. This doesn't at all surprise me and I fully expect it to get worse. What's frustrating is when people would say anything negative about the aquisition on HN you'd get the usual downvotes for saying something negative and speculative.

Facebook is a terrible company.
My company, for all its "values", will throw me under the bus to save itself, or for a quick buck.

Will you also throw the company under the bus to save yourself, or to make a quick buck? Can the company rely on you for your support through thick and thin in the future, even if they have to, say, quit paying you for a while until finances improve?
Talk about unclear on the concept. The Good & Co study had nothing to do with quality. It was about thinking attitudes.

You have to be pretty clueless to confuse the two.

Exactly, but it makes more sense to bind history-search-backward and history-search-forward to <M-p> and <M-n> in my opinion.
I believe that the enabling technology for SEV (SME - Secure Memory Encryption) would indeed protect against cold boot attacks. The SME keys are not stored in memory themselves and therefore once the CPU reboots and the SME keys are erased, the memory contents are lost forever.
I spent my summer with a staunch Republican, and I think I understand now.

My friend explained (over many arguments over many months) he simply does not want to pay for anyone's healthcare. He goes to work, and pays his own. He expects others will go to work, and pay their own. End of story. It's that simple for him.

He doesn't even care if paying a little more tax would result in better healthcare for him. He'd rather have shittier healthcare himself than accept paying even a tiny bit for another persons healthcare.

It's completely unacceptable to him that he should have to go to work more (i.e. pay more taxes) to fund someone's healthcare.

I get it. He doesn't care about a "we" society where we all look out for each other and share the wealth and do well, he wants a "me" society, where me does well.

NOTE: Not my views, don't shoot the messenger.
Trevelyan shut that down immediately. His credo: "Irish property support Irish poverty."

Small catch: bumper harvests of oats, wheat and meats were being exported, protected by bayonet. The citizens were living off of kitchen gardens, which is why potatoes were a staple to begin with -- the lord wouldn't give peasant rabble access to enough land to grow corn or wheat for private consumption.

After the second potato crop failure in 1846:
> Trevelyan's free market relief plan depended on private merchants supplying food to peasants who were earning wages through public works employment financed mainly by the Irish themselves through local taxes. But the problems with this plan were numerous. Tax revues were insufficient. Wages had been set too low. Paydays were irregular and those who did get work could not afford to both pay their rent and buy food. Ireland also lacked adequate transportation for efficient food distribution. There were only 70 miles of railroad track in the whole country and no usable commercial shipping docks in the western districts.

> By September, starvation struck in the west and southwest where the people had been entirely dependent on the potato. British Coastguard Inspector-General, Sir James Dombrain, upon encountering starving paupers, ordered his subordinates to give free food handouts. For his efforts, Dombrain was publicly A starving boy and girl in Cork hoping to find a potato. rebuked by Trevelyan. The proper procedure, he was informed, would have been to encourage the Irish to form a local relief committee so that Irish funds could have been raised to provide the food.

You can claim that denying a man dying of thirst a glass of water isn't harming him. But when you do that systematically, don't pretend that it's any different than killing him some other way.

I don't think that everyone agrees on that in NYC, especially not the City Council or any of the people in local government with the power to change it. Much of the city is still single-family housing or multiple occupancy dwellings typically capped at 4 stories (or 2.0 FAR) that could stand to be much taller, and of the multiple dwelling units, the politicians only care about the rent-regulated tenants, that are their permanent constituency to which they grant favors in an endless cycle of pandering and vote buying (see also: the recent 0% regulated rent raises). Other people like myself commute endless hours on the subway or PATH under buildings that are ludicrously low that could otherwise house many more if rebuilt, when special interest groups like GVSHP oppose anything that would upset their fragile conception of what the city should be. I don't see this changing anytime soon.

The City Council just voted 45-0 against rezoning an Inwood project that would have allowed for 3 measly more stories of housing on a building that can as of right have 14 stories. God forbid if we actually have to build real amounts of housing, preferably non-subsidized. As a NYC resident and market-rate renter, I'm sick and tired of paying for everyone else's rent when they will not lift a finger to help alleviate my burden.
