AMP is just a methodology which encourages a restricted subset of HTML, CSS, and JS implementation. They've chosen to implemented because the specific subset they've chosen to support eschews particularly slow-to-load features. Yes, it's Google's methodology, and yes they are planning on pushing it by highlighting AMP sites in search results - however, it's not really doing anything special code-wise besides enforcing said methodology.

No it's not. It's an entirely vague specification.

Was it the Russians, the Chinese, the NSA?

It's also something they'll never have to prove or verify so from a PR perspective it makes you look far less incompetent if you say 'state sponsored actor' instead of '17 year old high-schooler from Estonia'.
>in a matter of hours

First, it doesn't need to be "hours" to ultimately kill millions in the US and billions worldwide.

Say it happens over a month. Where are those billions going to go? Think Katrina in slow motion, only with 100M+ people's homes under water in the US and ~3 billion people worldwide homeless, so pretty much no country anywhere is going to be able to send meaningful aid to anyone. The people won't drown, no. But where will they get food? Housing? Clean water?

At ~20', almost all coastal airports be submerged (they tend to be close to 0'). Much of the coastal transportation network will be submerged. Ports will (nearly) all be useless; container ships won't be able to deliver goods to the US because the infrastructure will need to be rebuilt. What if it happens in our winter (summer in Antarctica!)? How many on the East Coast will freeze just because the disaster response brought people tents and there aren't enough sleeping bags for 40M people?

Ice sheets sit on liquid water. The pressure is too great underneath a mile of ice for water to remain frozen. An earthquake a stress fracture that develops over time could easily get to the point where a large chunk of the shelf breaks off, and if it's big enough, the water will rise.

200 feet of potential sea level rise is bottled up in those ice sheets. "Several feet" could be in the small number of percentage points of that potential. And it could also have a cascading effect, where the higher sea level causes the remaining ice to calve more quickly. In fact the USGS called out at least one such scenario:

"The West Antarctic ice sheet is especially vulnerable, because much of it is grounded below sea level. Small changes in global sea level or a rise in ocean temperatures could cause a breakup of the two buttressing ice shelves (Ronne/Filchner and Ross). The resulting surge of the West Antarctic ice sheet would lead to a rapid rise in global sea level. " [1]

They don't define "rapid", and I don't expect they mean hours, but it could be over weeks. They're geologists, so they might mean years. I don't know. The Larsen-B ice shelf broke apart completely in just weeks, though [2]. Even if it happened over several weeks, it's hard to imagine any kind of response that doesn't involve a huge chunk of the population dead or dying over the course of the next few months and years.

Dismissing the result and claiming it can't happen feels like intentionally burying your head in the sand.

>However I wound't blame IoT for all of it.

Personally, I think IoT is just a buzzword coming from I don't know where. IoT has existed the moment two things were connected over a network, and this was decades ago.

>What about uncountable number of vulnerable routers at home and small offices?

"Hypothetical" cases: devices of sensitive organizations just sitting there with default configuration. FTP servers of TV stations with a genius admin making a tutorial for staff with the goddamn credentials on the "intranet page" (you have the privileges of writing the news of tomorrow, literally). Teleconference system of major company that are broadcasting what's happening in the meeting room because why not. Readable and writable remote sensing devices that are broadcasting information that matters a great deal and you could just toy with it.

All this without even brute-force or exploiting a vulnerability. Basically within the reach of any monkey who could type admin-admin.

I don't know how anyone could think they're going to get into YC without being exceptional in some way.
Good point. Should probably say "you'll get an interview". I think you snipped out something pretty important though. The fact that you have done something nontrivial with DL is actually a big tell for the employer. If you just 'want to learn more about DL because it seems interesting' then employers aren't interested. But if you say "I am a good engineer and I have already done something nontrivial" then you have a much better chance of getting an interview and then the job.
Ask HN: What companies offer post-hire specialist training?
"Train yourself on your own time" is usually considered the standard in software (and other areas), but after reading these posts (and another one that I cannot find) awhile back I was wondering if any companies do "specialist training" upon hire:

https://danluu.com/programmer-moneyball/
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7260087

Certain areas of application security seem like natural fits, but I could see other ones. Especially for companies that claim shortages, this seems like it might not be a terrible bet (despite the well-known risks about people jumping ship), especially if they've been looking for a while / work in an area with too few specialists.

Basically, which, if any, companies hire generalist/specialist-in-other-areas developers and offer them training in a desired speciality upon hire? Who does "trainingball"?

> I generally try to avoid talking about things I haven't tried extensively.

I don't mean to press this point too hard, but you feel comfortable offering a dissuasive opinion on something but not "talking about it"? I don't know how to interpret that.

> But that is specifically something I've had to deal with far too many times already (not just with TypeScript), so it wouldn't be new.

I don't know what you mean by this either, I'm sorry.

> And it is quite common these days for companies to show you their code when they get near offer time, or to discuss their architecture and coding philosophy, so I very rarely have surprises on that front anymore.

I certainly think the second half of this is true. I think it's quite rare for companies to actually share real production code in any significant volume, unless of course it's already in the open.

> But there's only so many times I can get burnt before I start avoiding certain things :)

Again... what do you mean? Are you implying that Javascript has burnt you? Or Typescript? Or you won't use technology funded by Microsoft?

I'm sorry, I read your post several times trying to understand your intent, but I ended up with more questions than I started with. That's probably on me.

Not sure about auditability. If anything, IaaS is more auditable since everything is traceable.

Additionally, AWS will provide partner ISVs with detailed reports on how customers used their products over a given billing period.

That being said, this transparency might be an issue for Oracle as it limits their usual predatory sales/auditing practices.

"Also in 2014 the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) used a close-hold embargo when it announced to a dozen reporters that researchers had discovered subtle signals of gravitational waves from the early universe. “You could only talk to other scientists who had seen the papers already; we didn't want them shared unduly,” says Christine Pulliam, the media relations manager for CfA. Unfortunately, the list of approved scientists provided by CfA listed only theoreticians, not experimentalists—and only an experimentalist was likely to see the flaw that doomed the study. (The team was seeing the signature of cosmic dust, not gravitational waves.) “I felt like a fool, in retrospect,” says Lemonick, who, as one of a dozen or so chosen journalists, covered the story for Time (at the time, he was not on the staff of Scientific American)."

This is a major problem with science coverage. Media is forced to run what is effectively a press release. Stories that are then retracted (the story of easily-generating pluripotent stem cells a few years ago didn't pass my limited smell test and were then revealed to be faked) cause the public to be rightfully distrustful of science coverage and science.

Speicifcally USD is a:
* scene descriptor
* geometry caching format
* GL Scene Graph viewer

though each of those can exist independently of each other, and it does support Alembic as a geometry backend.

I believe they didn't support alembic because the geometry heritage of USD predates Alembic being a standard, and they added features like overrides etc.

Though interestingly, Blizzard just added support for Alembic layers that would describe overrides as well, so it's definitely an odd situation between the two.

I believe USD with an Alembic backend will be the eventual outcome

There is a real difference between the sovereignty of a Canadian province and a US state. In Canada the federal government has substantially more legal authority. Actually, a better way to look at it is that a province has a lot less authority.

Tons of people say to "follow your passion" but in the context of the startup world, you can be passionate about something you suck at, and it'll fail, which will make you very...unhappy. Passion is a nice to have but not a pre-requisite for success.
It seems to be missing "aid and comfort" (from the clause of the U.S. Constitution about treason).

That's kind of his point. Even if you have absolute certainty about the factual accuracy of the tip, it skews law enforcement towards what is essentially discrimination by selective enforcement. Throw in uncertainty due to latent racism in the witness, poor lighting conditions, or a general bias against minorities and you've got the perfect storm for a discriminatory justice system incapable of fairness at all levels.
Right, it says "convincing argument that the C implementation does the same thing as the mathematical specification" and "Assuming that we didn’t accidentally program the same “bug” into our Cryptol spec".

My understanding is it's another way of white-box testing the code against specified behaviour, but just that using a (proven?) mathematical specification for algorithms is probably easier than writing unit tests that have to capture all edge cases. (In essence, it sounds like verification software is probably set up to detect such edge cases, which I do think is a good idea, because you only have to program such software once.)
No doubt it is now. I was speaking as to future uses.
The California law, for example, just says it needs to be "expedient" without defining time limits. It isn't clear that they violated that law at all. They are disclosing a very large breach and I would assume that if they do see suits here, they will be civil suits.

- No clear roadmap

Indeed this would be nice to have!

- No guarantees from Facebook about longevity

As more products within Facebook (eg: Instagram) and companies outside of Facebook are depending on this (Airbnb, Netflix, Alibaba, Microsoft, Baidu, Uber), there is a bigger community of folks who share the burden of keeping it going.

- Legal concerns

This is the same license as React. Given the breadth of companies depending on React (all of those mentioned above, plus thousands more), I suspect that their legal departments considered it to be acceptable. If you don't, that's certainly fine!

- JavaScript problems

JavaScript does have plenty of problems, but it's also what enables a lot of the nice things about React Native (x-platform, ota updates, resource sharing -- as the author identified).

- Alternate frameworks: Xamarin, Appcelerator

I'd like to see the author write a similar assessment of these tools! It's worth noting that the author seemed to be unaware of the existence of React Native for UWP, maybe that would alter his assessment.
But a pull request on github invariably come from a branch that has the same license file. Before you can even make a pull request you have to publish your changes, and that version is clearly licensed by the license file.

Many of those "overgrown scripting languages" owe a pretty big debt to Smalltalk. Ruby and JS, particularly, borrow heavily from Smalltalk and Self. Lua is very Schemey, and while many talk about JS's Scheme influences, Lua really does feel like Scheme sometimes, and reflects Scheme's values far more than JS (small number of primitives, TCO, emphasis on minimalism and flexability, etc.).

Yes, they don't have the refactoring toolkit Smalltalk does, and they can be slow, but don't discount them off the bat. The two ends of the scale are closer together than you think.
That could be seen as false equivocation of positions. The FDA is an organization that needs to broadcast signals to nearly every level of society about certain products. All the way from corporate RnD divisions to consumers.

Not being concise, diligent, and stringent on what messages get sent out could have extremely negative effects. Letting news organizations pander to people's fears or general ignorance is a recipe for disaster.

I am not even sure why this needs to be explained. I mean, actually at this point on HN I do know why, it's people being disingenuous. Seriously how is this non-sense being upvoted?

From the article:
>including ones from major outlets such as Fox News

Seriously, are we going to just sit here and pretend why this was done? An organization hell bent on bashing largely agreed upon scientific information is being denied the ability to spin information from an organization dedicated to the scientific understanding and safety of products. The FDA is basically refusing to play the game of yellow journalism and rightly so.

Spare me the patronizing pathetic attempts at an apology, and excuse me for calling out bullshit from scientific american. Shame on them. And shame on HN for upvoting this.

There is a lot of great advice here. I started as Larry Ellison's handler almost 20 years ago, wrote a book on publicity (Barbara Corcoran endorsed) and teach an online PR class.

Media has changed a lot in the last 5 years. It is important to familiarize yourself with the outlet and how the journalist writes. (ie) is the outlet known for listicles? (article to start and then '7 ways to crush it on a start-up budget.' Or, do they prefer pitches based on their editorial calendar?

Identify your target customer and find out what they read, listen to and watch.

If you have a tech product, focus on where a more technical audience might be like podcasts. You'd be surprised but it's not always the most well known outlet like Mashable that will drive sales or users. While that is great credibility and exciting, there are many opportunities out there.

RESOURCE:
HARO www.helpareporterout.com is a good resource to sign up for - free opportunities 3x a day that journalists are posting. Since you will have the "lead" already, keep your response short and to the point.

NEWSWORTHY:
To make something newsworthy, look at what is trending in the media. (ie) Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt getting divorced and then think about all the relevant angles.

Angles could include being a divorce attorney and contacting your local news to talk about the issues they each face or if you have created a divorce app that helps with custody sharing, etc... you could discuss how that would work.

We are in an era of high content consumption online and outlets like Forbes, Entrepreneur and Huffington Post rely on contributors. Forbes, for example, turns out 300 articles a day ... a DAY! There are more opportunities for your company to be featured now than in the past so that is good news for you.

Try not to get discouraged. It can take time to figure out what works and come back to the journalist with different angles. I've found consistent follow up works.

I know that I was rambling a bit but hope that helps.

I have some free info on my site www.rachelaolsen.com if you're interested including audio interviews with a Forbes contributor and a writer for US Weekly, Men's Health and Rolling Stone.
