Ask HN: Dyn attack and Dirty Cow correlation?
A players are a myth. The only A players are the ones who are creating the game. Everyone else is just there to have a good time.

The game is dead...long live the game.
1. Politics have changed, people have moved. You fail to draw a causal link. I'm not disputing that people don't take their attitudes with them as they move, but your post implies that people flee politics they don't like, but then vote for the same politics in their destination. Politics would have changed with or without migration. Political views and cultural attitudes are not static. etc.

2. You're right that politics change with migration, and that people have and do move with the explicit intent of influencing politics.

3. This comment would imply that people are happiest in places where they previously lived and hence would not move. It certainly doesn't support the assertion that they're fleeing the results of their own preferred policies.

4. Sure.

5. I agree with your first statement, but then the parenthetical statement gives up the game. You've concluded that people are forced/heavily incentivized to move to California and are lucky to be able to flee, which I have not found to be the case at all.
That particular time I had to pay it but there was a recall on them later and I got my money refunded a year or so later so that was nice.

I imagine you got that fixed during the time the recall was active.
It's implied that the Switch will have the standard multiple controller setup when you plug it into the TV.

Some of that stuff might get implemented, but no, each player needn't necessarily have their own console.
Agreed -- I even tried to contact them as the legal representative for our building to give them a chance to "fix" the situation and they refused to take down rental ads in our building after we stated it was both against building by-laws and NYC law.
Oh yeah, the good cheese is definitely not cheap. Luckily, i'm a cheddar fan and costco has a 3 and 5 year old brick for under $10.

Very interesting article about the subject that touches a lot of the facets of this market.

"Until last May, it was importing cheaper U.S. milk-protein concentrates as ingredients, displacing domestic milk. It temporarily halted the imports, however, after regulators in Canada created a new class of lower-priced industrial milk destined specifically for cheese and yogurt production. The solution is a stop-gap measure, however, that cannot be sustained without permanent subsidies or raising prices on other dairy products."

Then, in relation to MPC's, here's a snippet from Wikipedia

"In the US dairy farmers are protected from international competitors with a range of measures, including tariffs on imports. MPCs however are not subject to a tariff rate quota, so most MPCs used are imported[citation needed]. “The United States imports of MPCs have doubled in the last five years, and between 2007 and 2008 MPC imports increased 66 percent.”[11] The majority of these imports come from New Zealand, totaling $250 million worth of MPC imported worldwide.[11] US dairy producer groups claim that foreign manufacturers using nonfat dry milk in the production of MPC are circumventing existing quotas on nonfat dry milk.[12][13] Further concern arises as MPCs are largely unregulated.[11]"

Something that I'm seeing more and more these days are companies that are actually not trying to fill the positions they are posting.

I've seen companies fully-contained within 4-person WeWork spaces showing pictures of their non-existant 20+ person team and listing as many or more open positions that don't exist. I've seen companies that list positions that aren't actively looking to hire but want to keep the funnel open in case that 'special snowflake' comes along.

I don't know if it's 'wishful thinking' or something else, but it's fairly poisonous.
You're upset that the headline doesn't deliver info on what the headline tells you? That doesn't make any sense. And the bullets are providing context for the article, not trying to answer the headline.
You're abusing the law of averages though. Yes, productivity might be fine for the most "economically productive" members of society (e.g. programmers, middle managers, aka the privileged.) For everyone else, aka the people on minimum wage, their productivity and quality of life is severely hampered. But since if one janitor is forced to quit their job because the 3-hour commute is no longer worth minimum wage, they can just go find another person desperate enough to work for minimum wage. These people are often ignored and have no real public voice/outlet to let their plights be known. But of course, plenty of rich programmers on a Hacker forum don't think anything's wrong, because nothing's wrong _for them_.
Twitter is still 100% on Dyn.

They're probably using some geographically based DNS distribution scheme which they can't quickly move to other DNS servers.
Actually the people who would feel the disincentive most strongly are speculators. Those are the people we want to discourage.

The whole point is to slow the growth of prices, by giving cities an incentive to increase supply. Higher prices are the biggest disincentive to purchasers.
That third email looks like they were asking the DNC for comment on a planned article, which is a standard reporting practice.

Edit: researched more, and while asking for comment is standard practice, sharing a full article pre-edit is not.
Those ones do, but the games for which this is true are increasingly rare. It's no longer an assumption with multiplayer games.
US users were not able to reach many sites due to DDoS on Dyn DNS Service
There are two reasons it's not as simple as that.

The first is that there are a ton of rules about owning property, and (for the most part) nobody thinks that any of those other rules mean that it's not really the owner's property. There are zoning laws, for instance: if I own a house, I can't run a business there. If I own an office building, I can't live there. If I own a three-story building, I probably can't knock it down and replace it with a forty-story building. There's the rule of law: if I run a suspected meth lab in my basement, or harbor a suspected criminal in a spare bedroom, the state gets to barge in. There's taxes: if I don't give the state money merely for the privilege of owning property, it gets to take the property back. There are rent control/stabilization laws: depending on what my property is, I can't charge more than a certain amount to rent it out, even if the tenant is willing to pay. There are certainly political theories under which all of those mean that I don't really own the property, but those aren't the theories we live under. Airbnb shouldn't get an excuse just because we want to start theorizing at that particular point.

The second is that, for most rental property in New York, the state is already involved. There are tax exemption programs, subsidies, city services and infrastructure, and all sorts of things without which the building would not have existed in the first place. The state is more than free to set conditions on buildings where it helped with the construction, even if that condition is "We get to set rules arbitrarily forevermore" - if an owner doesn't want to agree, they're welcome to try building without the state's help.
Considering that any device with a LiPo battery in it is potentially a bomb they really do need better procedures for dealing with these sorts of things.

RC groups have "LiPo Guard" bags or containers on hand in case of a fire: http://thedronegirl.com/2015/02/07/lipo-battery/ I've even seen some with a contraption you can throw your burning battery into to contain the fire.

Why aren't these mandatory on planes? Ash-trays are legally mandated, it's hilarious, but nothing for phones.
That was my immediate takeaway as well. What company was okay with this?
Probably more like Mirai IoT botnet

It's also due to, in the case of the Quebec government, nationalistic sentiment.

It's a difficult balance to strike - keeping and supporting high tech manufacturing, while trying to remain competitive. I think at the moment, the government intervention (blocking suitors and direct investment) is in fact doing more harm than good, but perhaps they know better - I have no knowledge of how competitive the C-Series really is or not.
Ah, I just read further in this thread, and it looks like a number of alternatives are already being shared. https://www.fastmail.com/ looks pretty interesting.
It doesnt say if he got the 800 number in the end, he probably did.
god such a long piece just so he can be friends with Bill Murray. and yet, totally worth it!
At Infinite Red we chose React.js over our previous choice of Ember not because it was objectively better at web, but because it lowered the context switching when our devs would switch between mobile and web projects. We have many devs who only handle web or only handle mobile, but for the ones who can do both, it's well worth it.

React.js being superior/inferior to Vue.js or others isn't very relevant unless the gap is huge, which it's not.
It'd be fun to build a tool that does this. I still have ~170 companies I applied to more than two months ago that I haven't heard back from yet. Funnier still is that in the end, the 3 offers I was fortunate enough to receive in the same timeline all had at most a timeline of 2 weeks from initial communication/application to offer. Rejections came either within a half second (auto somehow) to two weeks.
Damn, thanks for the response! I've been to Poland before and I intend to return, so I'll add his home to my "to-visit" list.

LinkedIn and Apple both ghosted me, it's not just new CEOs.
I've worked with Railo. It is buggy is not written with concurrency in mind. There were threading errors that were irresolvable without updates to a platform which was not written with threading in mind.

Do not use this.
Quality of life can go down while excess productivity has been captured by corporations and distributed to shareholders.

As productivity went up over the last 40 years, we should've reduced the work week. [1] We didn't. And now we have corporations with trillions of dollars of cash they can't or won't invest [2], and tens of millions of workers who continue to slave away 40 hours a week.

As odbol_'s sibling comment states, most of HN's demographic doesn't see this despair or care.

Sure, within a small host or ISP, that may be doable; even then, I'd consider it a stretch. But if we were to limit it to those constraints, when will this ever be exploited except as a PoC? No entity large enough to actually want to run this exploit on has an architecture where this would be feasible (due to things like geodistribution and load balancing), nor would be hosted on a provider so small that their IP pool can be exploited in the manner described. If I were an attacker, I'd focus on something with much bigger RoI.
Shutup you dirty nigger
Except it's the exact accusation leveled by the linked article.
Which years were those? Google has been putting ads in search results since at least 2000. Are you talking about 1998-2000?
Anybody who claims that there is no possible benefit, or increased efficiency of housing stock usage, as a result of services like AirBnB is a fool.

But that doesn't mean that an unrestricted free-for-all is the only possible alternative.
I believe you don't understand DNS. It's probably the most resilient service (granted it's used correctly). There's nothing inherent in the protocol that would prevent them to use multiple DNS providers.

> Running a redundant DNS provider is expensive as all hell.

What makes you think that?
The "Confident Jerk" gets the girl mythos comes from men who are just plain jerks but believe themselves to be nice. When confronted with rejection from women, they rely on this mythos to displace blame for their own behavior onto the woman instead.

"It's not me, it's a lack of judgement in her gender!"

That very thought in and of itself defines one as a jerk, imo. Of course people like and prefer to be around nice people.
Wasn't there a study done that shows Airbnb hosts actually account for a small fraction of the homes? I'd really like to see these politicians back up these claims with some data. Where do they get this information from?

It seems highly suspect that this could cause a decrease in units on the market that is anywhere close to affecting the housing problems in NYC.

Whenever I see a politician throw out the word "senior" and "quiet enjoyment" I smell a rat. The more obvious answer is the hotels don't like this kind of competition (staying in an Airbnb is infinitely better than a Hotel) and have bribed these politicians.

Wasn't Andrew Cuomo in the center of all the mortgage scandal stuff years back? Can this guy just go away?
There are many different types of properties. Condominiums and co-ops work very differently. If you are a condo owner and you give someone else your keys for 2 nights, you are violating the contractual rights of everyone else that owns property in the building and putting them at financial risk. The proprietor and state are the not the only parties involved.

(off topic) WSJ had a hilarious writeup last summer about the confusion [0]. Basically, the CEO of Time Warner continued to get hate mail from Time Warner Cable customers post spin-off. Time Warner Cable has since been acquired by Charter for $60B with a brand phase out.

Your local copy is also twitter, instead of github :)
Hyattsville, MD also has an LVT; but it seems that neither state outlaws (most) non-competes.
> lacks features such as per process rules. You have to do hacks like assign rules to users

From a practical standpoint, I find it hard to imagine that the cost of added complexity for configuring application rules per user would outweigh the benefits of simply configuring them system wide. I remember the days of terminal clients logging into mainframes but all I see are single user desktops. Things like location on the network matter more in an application firewall than which user is accessing the desktop.
Diffing is an implementation detail. Imperatively updating might still be needed to hit that 60 FPS ;D

Personally, I lean toward server side web apps ATM--users are familiar with page reloads, and developers are familiar with building them.

This is changing--users want faster UX, designers want fancier UI, PMs want cross platform apps. These external wants have developers creating & familiarizing with simpler ways to achieve them.

I see and considered the exact argument brought up, but he also wasn't unaware of the fact that we had an entire 1200-person staff to support on 4 continents. He filed at least three new support tickets like this _per day_.

His group was also the company's moonshot offshoot project -- not bringing in the bread and butter of the business.
The best thing my boss way back when I was a recruiter told me - "Updating someone that there's no update yet is a hell of a lot better than not updating them because there's no update yet." In other words, a simple "the team is still discussing your interview but haven't made a decision yet" email can make all the difference in the world.

That being said, and I'm swaying off topic here, candidates should never pause or slow down their job search, no matter how far along they are with a company. A rejection can come in a million forms for a million reasons, and how much would it suck to be back at square one across the board if it happens?
OK, that is an understandable motivation. However, I still think that a programming language isn't something you can learn from an audiobook. Like fourierhero6 said, you'd probably be better off with a book about programming itself, not about a language per se. Especially if you have no formal CS background, something like that might turn out to be really useful.
Are you guys coming to Swift Summit in SF in a couple weeks? (see: https://swiftsummit.com). I'm one of the organizers, and previously ran a Swift meetup in SF. It would be great to have a chat about this with you there if you're coming!
But the average consumer won't realize, especially when the installation and network failure aren't temporally adjacent, that the camera is the cause of the problem.

The solutions available (and there are more, just enumerating some):

IPv6 so everything is directly on the internet or not hidden behind a common router like they are now. This allows direct blocking of bad actors.

Security certifications for all software and hardware that ever connects to the internet. Well, guess I won't be doing as much programming at home anymore. And good luck getting that open source project of yours certified without getting some Patreon supporters with deep pockets.

Arbitrarily, from the consumers perspective, block their access to the internet when they "did nothing wrong".

Hold the creators of the devices accountable for making shitty, exploitable systems. Sue them directly for the financial harm they've permitted (millions of dollars today alone). But good luck suing them, they're in a foreign and will cease to exist tomorrow (under that corporate entity).
To Fix the Internet
Replace your DNS server with 208.67.222.222

Disconnect and reconnect your internet connection

(Works because this server is opendns and so keeps an old copy of dns records just-in-case and can use it when the master is down)
How many features are required and of what complexity?

Why not go with the product as is?

What is the projected revenue from Steam Greenlight?

What are alternative channels for delivery if Steam changes its policies or deprecates the service?
Speaking of which, why didn't the Schiaparelli use a proven design for the landing system?
Why is the almost no other coverage of this if it is indeed legitimate evidence of some connection? Even if it's its just conspiracy theory, I'd have thought people would be all over it.
In (well, after) attacks like this, and really any other massive DDOS, shouldn't it be possible to identify potential botnets and try to take them out (notify their owners that they're being used, notify their hosting providers, etc) so that they can't be used again in the future?
Care to share a link for the benefit of the OP?
Not neccesarily. Granted this is how I would configure a system (two providers), but it is just as sensical to use one major provider which falls back to company servers in the event of an attack like this. It is all in sysadmin preference, while it is smart to relegate low-level tasks to managed providers it is also smart to have a backup solution that is under full control just in case that control needs to be taken at some point in time.

If the company ends up with less cash, then its market cap should be lower, not higher.

When a share is bought back by a company, accountants handle it by either cancelling the stock or turning it into treasury stock, which has negative equity value to cancel out its positive nominal value. In either case, the repurchased stock does not add value to the company.

To illustrate the point, consider creating a company that consists of three $1 bills. You create three shares of the company and sell them to three investors. Assume that the market is efficient and that each share is valued at $1. Let's imagine the company's balance sheet. It has $3 of assets (cash) balanced by $3 of equity (stock). Now the company decides to spend $2 on share buybacks. It spends $2 of its cash pile buying two shares from two investors. Let's look at the balance sheet now. It has $1 of assets left (cash) balanced by $1 of equity (the remaining outstanding share). If you like, you can optionally record the two shares the company bought as treasury stock, so that the equity is $3 of stock and -$2 of treasury stock, for the same total of $1 outstanding stock.

As you can see, the value of the company falls when it executes a share buyback. This makes sense, because after the buyback, the company is poorer.
This highlights a flaw in the law more than anything else. Who owns your home? If government can tell you who can stay with you, regardless of any private transactions or agreements you make with that person, then government has more authority over your living space than you do.

#DDoS 10/21: The Cloud Is Not Secure
If Florida would get better about non-complete clauses it would be ideal. Beach, sales tax base via tourists, no income tax.

Alas… it has fairly strong non-complete compliance.
I'll certainly agree with #3 in general being less well answered by DDG. It seems to me to be mostly with compound terms and having to manually use +'s and "'s to enforce terms.

Given there's no tracking (feels a bit odd saying that nowadays with any kind of seriousness), do they monitor which queries people use !g for, and try to optimize their engine for these?

One feature I do like though (I'm not sure if Google etc offer this nowadays), is they'll often provide the top-answered StackOverflow answer in response to a query above the search results. That has proven handy a fair few times, esp. for some of the shorter answers (e.g. arcane command lines, git invocations etc).
It actually scales better the more source files you have.

The bottleneck currently is link job dependencies.
LLVM is a good example of that, It has 2000 tasks to complete. It hits a point about 360 in where it has to link a tool that is used to generate code for a later stage.

The fastest build would be all source files with no linking. That could be done in about 30 seconds.
Same would apply if you had 1k or 10k source files, 30 seconds.

I picked LLVM because it is the toughest benchmarks for this because I want real world use cases and expectations.

The demo shows an 8 core machine. On a 16 core machine it can build it in under 2 minutes.

Natively? how did you manage it
I've been working with an edtech client for the past 5 years and accessibility is something I've had to push, if not slip into my hours marked for other things. Of course, my guy is kind of an idea guy who doesn't seem to want to tap into the larger edtech space (and thus funding, etc.), but as far as development priorities it hasn't seemed to even be on the radar. Which is weird to me, but I can't do a ton about it.
As far as I can tell their market control is limited to just their devices which though still significant isn't enough for a breakup to make sense to me.

That's not too say nothing should be done to prevent abuse of the control they do have.
Since I've gone through the same experience like this, I'd like to know if this is a norm :D.

I've seen people do write-up of how they re-write the front-end from jQuery to Angular|Ember|React so it's not like there are many long-running JS projects that require solid structure. 3 years old (small-medium size) projects tend to get re-written.

Here's another one that I've seen and experienced before: 10 years old product where some section of the products are written in pure JS, some section in jQuery, some section in BackboneJS + Marionnete, some section using EmberJS.
