Is the wife in any actual danger from his reveal? I imagine Krebs thought no and that's the difference.
Look, it takes some guts of this journalists to come up with titles like this and writing articles.

I wish all this electric cars best of success, but 'taking on Tesla', this is not some small irrelevant company, let's be real here.

Tesla is leaps and bounds ahead of everyone, not only with having electric car, but also this car is like from future.
How do you feel about Kreb's criticism of CloudFlare for, in his view, sheltering the web presences of various DDoS-for-hire services? Just wondering what your response to his articles such as "Spreading the Disease and Selling the Cure" is. He seems to have taken some pretty strong anti-CloudFlare public positions.
Except for all the backend connecting each user's messages to their followers. That's no mean feat. And certainly would cost more than "nearly nothing".
North Korean Internet has 28 registered domain names.
Yes I agree type inference is wonderful! But when the underlying type-system is just C# I feel like I'm given a half-assed solution.

What good is having a int type if you can't limit its range?

I'm not going to maintain BOTH static types and tests. The ROI is way too low on that and won't even come close to guarantee robustness.

Assertions over composable predicates gives me much more out of the time invested to write it. They are right there in the code at runtime, not separate like unit tests or in a different phase like static types.
Interesting that Japanese smileys show emotion via the eyes while the American-born ones show emotion via the mouth, which mirrors the respective cultural norms.
The same thing was said about YouTube because of its immense costs of operations and the fact that few/nobody had figured out how to do a good job monetizing video advertising at that point.

Google being the ad monster that it is, could significantly boost Twitter's business and they could slash the operating costs very considerably. Twitter should be solidly profitable at $3-$4 billion in sales (which Google could deliver).
It's good that you're still here, and writing. It's never less than a pleasure to read what you have to say.
Not sure if this applies to DDoS, but a baseline ML method for security is outlier detection. For example, (1) you get a dataset that is mostly "good" data, with some "bad" data (2) you cluster it using something fast like k-means (3) data points are labelled as outliers if they fall further than some threshold from a cluster center.
Google learned from Google+? Where is the evidence?

Also, Twitter is unprofitable, but my understanding was that they were heavily trusted by the public.
Look at it from a different angle: They have invested billions in 'traditional' combustion engines, gear-boxes etc. They are earning billions with that technology. Now image a board meeting and you are the guy asking for all the R&D money such that you cannibalise the cash cow. They don't target early adopters but the mass market and that's not where you/we want it to be. I believe that's the reason why their A engineers still work on the 'old' stuff.
Please stop fetishizing Japan. We have farm-to-market distribution with mostly independent farming in Israel, too. Lots of countries have it.

(Mind, we also export the good stuff, so Israelis are perfectly used to buying misshapen produce and enjoying it.)
On that note, myepisodes.com is absolutely great for tracking and keeping up with your TV show episodes.
Indeed, but this is a big "you should have gotten that in QA" kind of mistake. With the aggravating factor the the company markets security as one of iOS tentpoles... Accountability is a bitch, I guess, but in this case this was really in plain sight. I mean, it's not necessarily the dev's ass that's going to be kicked.
There's a nice story about accountability at Apple once recalled in a profile by Adam Lashinski. It's from the Steve Jobs' era, but I guess this kind of policy is still enforced in Cupertino:

One such lesson could be called the “Difference Between the Janitor and the Vice President,” and it’s a sermon Jobs delivers every time an executive reaches the VP level. Jobs imagines his garbage regularly not being emptied in his office, and when he asks the janitor why, he gets an excuse: The locks have been changed, and the janitor doesn’t have a key. This is an acceptable excuse coming from someone who empties trash bins for a living. The janitor gets to explain why something went wrong. Senior people do not. “When you’re the janitor,” Jobs has repeatedly told incoming VPs, “reasons matter.” He continues: “Somewhere between the janitor and the CEO, reasons stop mattering.” That “Rubicon,” he has said, “is crossed when you become a VP.”

Hacker News definitely weights submissions based on URL, submissions from sites such as hypothetically buzzfeed fall faster than sites from better sources.

But I don't think HN also flags based on URL. Do you have evidence to the contrary?
So you are content with having a tax system that treats you like a 1%er in the event that you cash in a payday (say $1mil - 35-40%) during a given year, despite the fact that you may have worked your whole life at a middle class level, scraping to save? A consumption tax would allow individuals to actually make choices about how/when they are taxed. Lets be honest, people will still want their "stuff". If they have more money in their pocket, they will spend. That is what America is built on. I would like the opportunity to defer spending at my choice in order to save more in the present without being taxed into oblivion.

And I'm sorry if you didn't read my entire comment. Of course an ignorant consumption tax is regressive. SAFEGUARDS would have to be in place to ensure that the population can acquire necessities without an undue burden being placed on them. Exactly the things you mention: housing (single home), food, healthcare. However, 50"+ 4K TVs do not fall in that category. 30' fishing boats do not fall in that category. Certain items in sales tax heavy states (Texas) already do this is the form of tax free checkout for certain item classes (food at grocery stores).
Based on this short Wikipedia page [1] it sounds like it's done to avoid payroll taxes like social security and medicare.

Any other reason to do this?

Knowing that the way an object orbits the planet is essentially infinitely falling toward it, but missing, I thought this was incredible:

"At an altitude of 35,786 km, satellites orbit at the same speed the earth turns, once every 24 hours, hanging usefully and lucratively over a single location to transmit and receive information."

I knew the earth spins fast, but putting those two facts together was really cool. Sitting here, I'm thinking how did I miss this before.

>Apples : I liked the cheaper apples (Fuji) in Japan. Weirdly the more expensive ones were less tasty and larger. The Fuji's probably size-wise same as the US.

Visit New England or the Pacific Northwest in the September-to-late-October apple season before claiming Japan is superior in apples. Hell no they ain't.
I hate dealers too and hate this law, but read this[1] comment that is a sibling to yours. It explains why this law exists. It's a shame it hasn't been removed yet because it is quite dated at this point.

Something like wikipedia would be nice.
Riding an electric bike has made me very aware of how much work can be performed with a given amount of power. Watt-hours aren't abstract anymore. 1kWh can get me and my stuff 120km easily if I pedal, probably closer to 80km if I used battery power only. Also instantaneous power, 200W is enough to move my bicycle, me and my stuff at a low cycling speed (15-20km/h) on the flat.

It really puts things in perspective when I look at a 1KW space heater. That's a lot of power!
There's copious evidence that's public, look for how it's talked about externally.

I think you're substituting a particular group of Twitter users for the public - the general perception is Twitter is full of hateful trolls and management can't be bothered to control them.
Because it is serialized you conclude it is "disappointing journalism"? Hardly seems fair...

Not sure why you're downvoted. This is the first rational explanation for this I've ever seen - thanks. Doesn't really justify it still existing today, but makes me hate the system a little less.
With sourcemaps you can get close, but it still shows the "mangled" class name in the HTML.

But with a dev/prod environment, you can have your cake and eat it too (for the most part). In dev we have our classnames be in the format of `[classname]---[file-path]---[filename]---[partial-hash]` So one of my classnames from a current project is `.container` in the file, but shows up as `.container---src-components-scanner----styles---1446d`. And in production shows up as `._1533JgnvGu096C2bCAkrxT`.
This looks like kind of a fun project, but Google already returns at least some of this information in their enhanced search results (ex: "When is Fathers Day").

"Part 2 is coming soon". I am the sucker for reading that far.
I read that, don't you see the difference between this and setting up camps to exterminate people? It states right there that the deaths were results of gross negligence and mismanagement and the Boers attacking the British supply lines that prevented items from reaching these camps.

There was no order from higher ups demanding to exterminate the inhabitants.
What tool is used for this?
What a colossal waste of human effort. It is a shame that the political correctness, diversity, and inclusion efforts have metastasized into results like this.

no one wins in this scenario. A hollow victory (at best) for the cry bullies whose "feelings" are triggered, or whatever the current trend is.
Gimp source code is pretty old. Adding stuff like 16/32 bit support is not easy.

On other side Krita is newer, uses QT, is developing faster etc..
That video is discussing a slightly different problem than the recently discovered issue the article's talking about.
Sorry to say I don't think GIMP is the best example of a great FLOSS project.

Many other projects are very competitive (or better) than commercial options but GIMP is not even close.

They just released support for 16bit/32bit/c color last year which is needed for so many scenarios.

The unified transform tool mentioned as a highlight is really a pretty simple thing to code.

They are 5-10 years behind what you get in PS for $10/month. It's a killer for any professional have tools that far behind their peers.

The UX has always been poor and unnecessarily complicated. I resent the implication it's the user's fault for not taking time to learn. There are many examples of complex professional systems that prove a decent UX is still possible.
From what I've seen (quoted elsewhere in this thread) there isn't any significant penalty for Akamai if they are unable to mitigate, or choose to not mitigate, a DDoS attack. They might negotiate other terms, but I doubt it. DDoS mitigation is, by its very nature, a best-effort service, and reputation for not giving in to attackers is more important than any contract terms you're reasonably going to be able to get.
Caught in the prisoner’s dilemma of local-only planning
Parent post's product, Sublevel, would make for a nice public communication utility.

Unfortunately, while I like it, it's definitely not going in the same direction as Twitter and is not likely to match everybody's idea of a social network. While its current members, myself included, like it for its simplicity and lack of embellishment, it is precisely because it comes with fewer features and deliberate design choices against janky embedded media, it does not and likely will not represent a Twitter alternative for the vast majority of Twitter users.

Sublevel could however be made into an interesting, social-first alternative to Pinboard.

If Sublevel were for sale, that's likely what I'd do with it, offering an archive utility to save HTML where duplicate content is only saved once and blindly shared among users to conserve space. Then stick an incrementally increasing price tag on membership like Pinboard. Maybe membership tiers.

I remember as well numerous decentralised alternatives to Twitter like Diaspora and Twister IIRC.

Twitter is horrible to use and would benefit from a complete rethink in terms of UI, maybe something along the lines of Opera Coast.
I'm not saying it's seared. Before you do a long cook sous vide, if you're concerned about lactobacillus (which won't hurt you but will make your entire product taste and smell like dirty socks), you can very quickly dunk whatever you're cooking in boiling water to kill surface bacteria. Doing that has no discernible impact on the texture or appearance of the meat (except it might turn a thin layer of chicken flesh opaque).

I'm wondering if the raw chicken people might do something similar, since all the pathogens they're concerned about will be on the surface.
> All the Praises let you run the A/C whether you were moving or not.

All modern vehicles allow this...

You're essentially saying the when the engine is on, the AC works. It has nothing to do with being a Prius or not. The only difference is that a Prius can switch into EV mode while the battery allows (and gets pretty silent) before switching back to motor (when the battery is depleted).

I've never seen a vehicle which couldn't run the AC without the vehicle moving. Maybe that was the case with vehicles before my lifetime.

PS - We own a Prius V and a Subaru Outback, both allow this.
>Sorry, but in what way is Go "revolutionizing"?

By offering simplicity. Taking a step back to before C++. And providing a better C. C + strings + GC + map + slice(array) + json/xml parsing + http transport layer (server & client). What else do you need? Ideal for minimalists. That's its beauty. Programs are very stable. Takes less memory than Java (some amount more than C/C++). Faster compilation time compared to C++. A convenient C. For minimalists, who like to cut down all the jargon, and solve the problem. Looking at it that way, you see its beauty.

edit: typo
The best product I can think of is this: don't cock-tease your readers like this.

I don't understand why they're so insecure with their product that they have to trick readers into coming back for more? The other articles I've read on The Intercept in the past seemed reasonably good to my untrained eye. Why do they feel the need to play tricks? I'll never be coming back now and I'll probably avoid reading anything on The Intercept again. It makes no sense to me.

> Yes that was mentioned in one of the maaaany EEVBlog videos iv watch that these fail closed sometimes as well as the recommendation that "you should never buy lipo cells without a built-in controller" comeing from a guy far smarter then I about electronics design. If he is afraid of it, it's for a good reason.

If you're building a large pack you don't want cells with a built-in protection. You connect all the cells to a pack-wide BMS that keeps things safe.

The important thing is to never use unprotected cells without some protection circuit in the pack.
That's the classic "Innovator's Dilemma."

I think Gab.ai is competitor, thats gaining popularity.
right, but i was obviously talking about government in a less broad sense - as an entity that uses force to coerce public into submission. which is what any self-respecting government is.

please, do not confuse anarchy with absence of political structure. if people invent a structure and voluntarily agree to follow its rules, this is anarchy (in fact this is the definition of 'anarchy'). when some group within the people invents a structure and forces others to comply with it, this is government. unfortunately the term 'anarchy' has been abused and its original meaning has been long lost.

P.S.: thank you for not down-voting, but rather explaining your point of view.
"We don't shut down those folks by calling them anti-science. Hell, give these people a book contract."

Don't you think there are already enough books out there based on pseudo-science that confuse and take advantage of the general public?

"What I'm seeing a lot of lately is taking anything with the label "science" on it and telling laymen that they have no business bullshitting in this area."

What if they don't even realize that they are bullshitting in the first place? The other day I was debating AGW (as I do) and my opponent, in response to my constant citing of work and my constant demand that he do the same, actually asked me why I didn't have any "facts from my head".

I do see your point, but when I see people unable to tell the difference between empirical data and an opinion, I think it might give "magical thinkers" or the "anti-science crowd" or whatever label they should have too much credit.
> Only startups offering stock options to at least 80 percent of their workforce would be eligible for tax deferrals, and a company’s highest-paid executives would not be able to defer taxes on their stock under the legislation.

I understand the desire to avoid a regressive taxation system, but why is it that every tax rule we create comes with 2x the amount of caveats and rules? Our tax system is becoming a mess.

At this rate soon nobody will be able to file their own taxes without an accountant to sort through the muck. And complicated to systems tend to benefit the wealthy.
Thanks, but you know that Miyazaki is just a region as well right? And Miyachiku Co-Op is made up of hundreds of different breeders (and does not encompass all Miyazaki beef). And I've had it. It tastes roughly the same as Kobe, despite being a different breed. Most Wagyu tastes the same, honestly, there's as much variation between samples of the same type as there are between different types.

Even for a relatively defined palate, it's very difficult to tell the difference between anything above a grade 6 in marbling. But really, we're talking about a very specific kind of beef, and I have no problem admitting that most Wagyu is very high quality. But it's not representative of most of the beef in Japan.

Japan's Michelin Stars are almost exclusively for Sushi and other seafood, which I would never imply is low quality. If you love seafood, which I don't, then yes, Japan probably has a good claim for the best food in the world.
Yes, and I hope to god they win!

Reality continues to ruin Apple's marketing ;)

Given the other crap[1], relatively speaking they still shine though - at least a patch will be out soon to everyone that turns on their device.

[1] FCC should really look into making security updates for mobile devices mandatory with a time limit, in absence of which OEM or the Carrier must replace the device free of charge with one that doesn't have the vulnerability. It's criminal what OEMs and carriers are getting away with while making ton of profits.

Honestly, I don't envy those that design and publish emojis, it's a cultural minefield. :-) has no color, gender, outfit or what-have-you. There's been a lot of debate about the skin tone of e.g. the thumbs up emoji (which now comes in half a dozen colors if the relatively ambiguous / non-human yellow isn't to your needs), the gender of emojis depicting jobs, and the color of outfits of emojis depicting jobs.
Yeah, been quite happy with their DDoS protection myself for hosting game servers. And short of drawing the massive ire of organized crime and/or nation states, that's about the biggest DDoS bullseye you can paint on your back.

Krebs also hasn't publicly criticized OVH like he has CloudFlare, so I could see that working out well. Would be great press for them, too.
It's probably easier to monitor ordinary, lawful political conversations on social media, than it is to monitor people taking some steps toward confidential, conspiratorial conversations.

Also, the social media stuff directly concerns the police image, and stature in society. Funding observations of criminals and miscreants is just their regular job. They don't get as much status for just doing their job as they might lose from institutionalized accountability.
I want to preface this by saying that if this comes off as condescending that's not my intention.

> Blameless post-mortems should be the industry standard.

Sure, often times there are multiple reasons why something isn't accomplished, something is broken, or something doesn't work as intended. But generally there is someone that's primarily responsible for the piece of code, be it a manager, engineer, etc. It does suck to be on the receiving end of it and if it's major enough you can be out of a job, but blame should be given to the responsible party/parties and the issue should be handled appropriately as it's more direct than what alternatively happens which is to passive-aggesively handle the situation. Plus, how you handle crises like production going down and being blamed for it say just as much about you as an engineer as does your code.

Essentially, I'm against being coddled as an adult. We're adults, someone fucked up and is responsible for it, they should be blamed and handle it, and handle it like an adult. I do think that handling that kind of situation as person on the giving end definitely requires tact, though.
