Google's policy is to release under 7 days if there's evidence of the bug being exploited. They told Microsoft and a date for the patch was set, I guess because they follow processes to make sure they don't make it worse or break something else when patching. This is not "the old days", Microsoft's security track record is completely different.

I can't believe that you're (rhetorically) asking me for evidence when it's Google who makes decisions based on that evidence. It's vox populi now that only one actor was using it. Google knows it, you know it too. Why are you trying to move the goal posts with useless rhetoric?

How does publishing a bug with no patch available until a few days from now on make us safer? Especially when you don't want security companies to have a head start either. How are you going to protect your users then?

I don't know if your comment is just bait, but there's a difference between withholding bugs and being a responsible company. As far as I understand Microsoft gave Google a date that's not very far in time. If whoever made the decision to disclose it anyway can't see the difference (or a calendar, this is 2016, not 1996) then I give up.

Once the bug was discovered we need an urgent fix, disclosing the bug has prematurely expired any short time we had. There was no need for that. Why can't Google accept a patch date so close to their disclosure date and only disclose if the third party (Microsoft in this case) fails to deliver the patch?

You can ignore all the above, but let me know one thing: How are you protecting your user base from someone exploiting this bug? If you don't have any security products capable of detecting the exploit nor a patched OS. I'm curious and I'm sure I can learn from you (I'm not being sarcastic).
For icon fonts you can use this great service to generate only what you need from various icon fonts:

http://fontastic.me/
Nope, I don't think so. It would be hard to pull off as you might be using the font on an <input> and the user could type any character. Or you could be pulling text in through an XHR and won't know in advance what characters will be returned.

Tell that to all the people deducting Airbnb expenses on their taxes.
That's certainly a hypothesis alright.
I remember at one of my very first jobs, I had to deal with a dynamic report generator that would generate sql based on your UI selection. The SQL it generated was atleast a couple of pages long. The first thing I did was to lookup a sql formatter to help me figure out the dynamically generated sql statements. Thats how I came across sqlinform.com and I have always used it ever since.

It has some pre-defined formats depending on the database you use such as Oracle, DB2, etc. and it also lets you customize these formats if you like.

I'm not going to dispute that both parties have their problems, but the GOP's leadership is actively at odds with the people they purport to represent. That seems pretty broken.

The Democrats have, for the most part, at least rallied behind their candidate.
Exactly this, already it seems a little weird now how rose colored people's vision of Google was some ~5-10 years ago (I too was a fan). Give it 5 more and it will be late 90's Microsoft.
No one is making irrational judgments based off of the amount of photons that are being reflected.

Many Indians can't reflect many photons, either. Police aren't shooting them.

Let's see if you can make the leap into what is being inferred with this obvious observation.
I voted for Bernie, but how could he win independent if he couldn't win the Democratic primary?
Yeah, when I read the phrase "thought experiment", I thought "here we go again".

Somehow people think that they can do their trolling behind that label and be protected from all criticism.
Either you're naive, or pretending. Enjoy hanging on every word in every meeting like it's your first job.
Hi and welcome to Hacker News! Please only post comments that add something meaningful to the topic of discussion (a proclaimed artificial intelligence that claims to have predicted this result much earlier).
Looks like the one-article-evidence is habitual. I'd get that checked. If you can afford the pills.

I'm withdrawing from this conversation.
Firefox on Android has a switch for this. Menu -> Settings -> Advanced -> Show web fonts. The mobile web is remarkably faster to load with it off, even on wifi.
Both points are right.

Its a moral issue that needs to be fixed.

Moralizing at racists is not effective. They are already in an us-vs-them mindset, so an attack on their character just amps up those instincts. (When have attacks on character ever been an effective means of persuasion?)
The story you linked is only on the politics sub-page, and it's under 3 anti-Trump spotlight stories and buried in the middle of other anti-Trump stories.

There is a blackout, it's just not a 100% blackout.
I'm confused why the author doesn't mention cgroups, but did mention rlimits. rlimits have a whole host of issues that are not really solvable without going straight to cgroups. cgroups also have much more knobs than rlimits.

The quite odd thing is that they explicitly mention RLIMIT_NPROC, but not the pids cgroup (which has effectively the same systemd interface). I'm quite biased of course (my first kernel contribution was the pids cgroup implementation).
Discussion on a submission can be about the discussion as well. Are you intentionally trying to be ironic with your comment -- which itself is not constructive or interesting?
Most of these are premade themes from themeforest or other similar marketplaces.
The devs have no incentive to optimize their themes as they are usually bought by non-tech people and they don't know how adding five different fonts in their website makes it really hard to load and render.
How do you classify overt and covert military activity by a nation whose territory has been annexed towards the nation that did the annexation? Is it an act of aggression?
The end of the article states that everything it discussed prior is only part of a "toy". It is known that the toy being studied does not fully correspond to our universe.
> cops lives matter AND civilian lives matter

This isn't an issue that needs a middle ground. Black Lives Matter never said that cop lives don't. It didn't need to be said that cop lives matter because cops were already treated as though their lives mattered. When a cop gets killed nobody says "Well, he probably had it coming".
Is the Australian government agile and innovative? Not to those in startups
What is it about capitalism that makes the strategy you describe a) inevitable, and b) worthy of regulation (since you brought that up)?

The profit motive covers (a).
It did, somehow. This guy also went about it in a fairly petty way, but his fundamental point I think holds water.

The hypocrisy of "you can't state your views because you're biased/bigoted/whatever" is extreme. Just two sides of the same coin.
That was an interesting read, about an area I'd never really considered before. I'm not sure if I'd accept Airbnb guest == roommate, but the overlap might be close enough that I could see the underlying court decision being at least partially applicable.
In what world native apps are slower than web apps?
And where do you find "extremely fast" websites, with all this JS frameworks crap and gazillion of trackers being pushed to your poor browser?
Okay, here's the other thing though -- unless you use the definition I'm providing, the article linked to here about "playing startup" doesn't make any sense. Unless someone genuinely doesn't understand that startup is being used in a narrower sense, there's no reason to raise this objection.

It's like objecting to a discussion about angels (the investors) because the word typically refers to angelic beings, or the baseball team.
I had the wide gamut screen on my 4K iMac. It truly was a breathtaking experience. Going back to a PC monitor was difficult.
You really don't want to go all the way to Mars for nickel or iron :-). Now if chunks of platinum, gold, silver, and palladium are laying about to be picked up, well that is a different story. 100kg of that stuff my be worth 3 - 5 million $ when you got it back here.

On the plus side, if you don't need to smelt iron ore to get metallic iron you can build stuff on Mars without first building a massive processing plant. (steel mills are smaller than iron smelters in my experience)
It's APIs that lock you down, not the language.
Or moral conservatives, libertarians, or anyone else capable of valuing empathy over instinct aspires too.
There should be a 10x club (support group?). I think I've seen it about that many times, too. My favorite thing is how often Sorkin reuses the exact same lines throughout all of his works. I'm assuming this is 100% intentional, but haven't ruled out the possibility he was simply too high to remember what he wrote previously.
Is it dead? Last GH commit shows as 7 days ago? (genuine Q, wondering if I missed something).

It may be less flavour of the month, but that seems par for the course with JS frameworks.
Are you black? Do you suspect racism?
Is there any chance this will ever happen? I've been assuming that sublime has stagnated for at least a year now.
There won't be a Mac in another five years, Pro or otherwise. Didn't anyone notice that they dropped "Computer" from their company name, concurrently with the release of their iOS product line? They don't want to be in the commodity appliance business, and that's what computers are.

I mean what do the actual Apple Developer use as their daily drivers?

Many people see this as a relevant question for some reason, but I'm not sure why. You don't need a Sony branded PC to develop for the PS4, or a Microsoft branded PC to develop for the Xbox. You still need a Mac to develop for iOS and OSX, but there's no technical reason for that. It's a wholly-artificial constraint imposed by Apple... one that could go away tomorrow with a stroke of Tim Cook's pen.
Whoa. If you want content quickly many apps will offer it in widgets. Many will show you notifications with ability to interact with them without even opening the app.
There is nothing instant about websites.
I absolutely do not understand the need for 'web fonts'. Just specify a normal font that most users already have installed in CSS, with some fallbacks.

'Progressive styling' is way more annoying (in my humble opinion) than waiting some time. Pages like the verge can take minutes anyway, when the wifi is not optimal. When you do things progressively, the page just keeps on changing, and the page can't really be used. So if you have a long page with text, and the user is somewhere halfway, the font loads and... BOOM! You are reading text that is located 8 paragraphs from where you were reading one instant ago.

This is far more annoying with images which dont specify their size, but I would still consider it bad practice to use an uncommon font for non-artistic pages.
Nice point. Companies don't miss Wall St. expectations. Expectations miss on companies' guidance. (now if they didn't hit their own numbers that'd be a fail).
It's actually just not an interesting story. It was basically scheduled.

As a side note, can you guarantee you are not allocating memory (calling malloc) with Rust? I know how to do it in C, but Rust has another layer of indirection.

> Name one platform you need to run a TLS stack on that LLVM doesn't have support for.

Have a look yourself:

$ llc --version # CPU architectures supported by LLVM

vs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Compiler_Collection#Archit...

Of particular interest to me are the AVR ATMega line of microprocessors, popular in Arduino boards and IoT devices everywhere. I'd personally love to see more IoT communication secured with TLS.

I do see a github repo for providing a LLVM backend for AVR processors, but it's not part of the LLVM project, nor is it even passing its own test suite at the point I'm writing this.
I think the mention of suicide was wrong, but it sounds like you're saying that a University should fire any employees that express right-wing views. You actually said 'right wing garbage', but I didn't see any fact-checking on either side.
ISRO is moving towards it's first manned mission as well. It recently tested it's first Reusable Launch System: RLV-TD (Launch video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzxe6q60R70)
You trust Facebook when you log into Facebook.com. Facebook.com/fdroid would be the hypothetical trusted endpoint for Facebook apps. You should not have one gatekeeper that ensures everything is safe. They can sensor content, fail to catch something or prioritize some apps over others. Having a default repo where there are restrictions, rules and vigilance makes sense, but you should be able to opt into another circle of trust AND get notified of updates, changes, version numbers etc. If you can't trust a company enough to run their binary, then don't add their repo.

The alternative is download static apks today and maintain updates yourself(bad) or remove the freedom to install what you want on your device.
It was not directed against Ukranians as ethnos, period. USSR was not a Russian supremacist country. Remember, Stalin, during whose reign Holodomor happened was a Georgian, Khruschev was Ukranian, Brezhnev - Ukranian, Andropov - Russian, Chernenko - Ukranian, Gorbachev - half Ukranian. So most of supreme leaders of USSR were at least partially Ukranians.
Pulling out your phone and fiddling with it isn't especially easy or advised in many situations where people use GoPros.
you're totally right and we're making steps in that direction..We definitely want to support more tech hubs.

The LA area has people who fly in every week from someplace further east, maybe Nevada. They spend the week in shared apartments that probably contain nothing but bunk-beds and a microwave. Then they fly home for the weekend, and still come out ahead.

"web apps" in web browser is fine with me and what i do now mostly. the future of it could be that they are still advertised in the store but just add on favorites and the OS could implement a web shortcut that starts in a new tab perhaps. the web has come a long way for viewing and interacting in mobile.
Divide 3.3 months across multiple people (say 5), and you get less than 3 weeks.

Also worth mentioning is the $X million dollars spent on redesigning Merrill Lynch's logo. The only redesign that occurred was a different angle view of the lion.
Ask HN: Am I being unreasonable?
I've been in my current company for 2 years now and recently embarked on a new project and a new team within the company, this is a "big data" shop but the current focus seems to be on "platform provisioning" and devops.

Our manager has been tasked with coming up with new "standards", tools and processes for everything.The team has been divided and a new "leadership" team has been formed and the existing developers have been sort of left out, one of the things that really bothers me is the over complexity and artificial constraints being enforced, it's not that I'm not open to change but as I've grown older and experienced (and I have to admit, cynical) whenever I see unnecesary complexity I run away screaming.

Just to give you an example of what I'm talking about:
The deployment, provisioning and packaging workflow that these guys have come up with is an absolute nightmare form my point of view, consisting of multiple ansible & gradle scripts, packaging everything as RPM files, convoluted code review processes using crucible, and git branching strategy based on jira tickets, etc, etc this is a standard that must be followed for EVERYTHING, have a simple 3 line bash script? oh you have to write a gradle build file, "tests" and ansible scripts to provision it.

I have to admit I absolutely loath devops but this seems to me like it will be extremely difficult to maintain in the long run, we are also now being forced to use python (we are/were mainly a scala shop) so we cannot leverage existing code as everything we've done before is considered "garbage" or using the more politically correct term, "legacy". What really pisses me off is that we keep getting shut down, and everytime we raise a concern we keep getting told that we are not "real" software engineers and that we must skill up.

Since I am NOT an ansible/devops guy I have to ask before I rage quit:

Am I being unreasonable? am I taking this too personally?.

Yeah they are his employer, but they're supposed to behave more intelligently than typical employers.

They also have a reporting hotline for Halloween costumes and bias. Seems like a bad idea.

Ugh.
Some People seem to think they're entitled to Google's Play Services without having to install Google's software. AOSP is entirely free and you can do with it as you please. If you want to run Android apps on AOSP then install FDroid, the Amazon App or any other free app store out there. This isn't about AOSP, it's about being jealous that they can't run Android apps that use Google Play Services and using any other app store is an insult to them. If you don't want to install GPS then be content with your free app stores and quit bitching about AOSP not being completely open. But, they want their cake and they want to be able to eat it too so they resort to complaining about Android not being open and trying to write shims to replace GPS so they can get their app fix on.
Native apps are awesome. They have 10x more than you mentione with 10x less effort to develop.
What do you find extreme about the parties we have now?
Amazon’s private label brands are taking over market share
That's weak sauce argument. If the FBI was controlled by Republicans they would have indicted Hillary Clinton for mishandling classified information instead of giving a press conference letting her off the hook. And they would have let General Petraeus (who was a potential Republican primary candidate) off instead of bringing charges against him.

FBI was a hero to Democrats and a villain to Republicans a couple months ago and now it flipped. So the FBI probably isn't controlled by either party.
Leica cameras have always been quality products and that didn't hurt them at all. A Leica will last forever.
As a rule, the British don't like to riot. You typically get one or two stand-out riots a decade, but they're rarely for political reasons. (The Poll Tax riots were an exception.)

I can imagine a lot of people threatening riots and outright civil war, but the British right isn't organised enough to do much except march around being loud and annoying and picking a few fights with foreigners.

It certainly isn't intelligent enough, or well-armed enough, to have any hope of winning an actual civil war.
Hmm - your experience seems different from mine; but maybe you've taken more courses - or more recently?

My first experience with MOOCs was the Fall 2011 Stanford courses (AI Class and ML Class) - which ultimately spawned Udacity and Coursera (respectively).

I wasn't able to finish the AI Class, but I did complete the ML Class. In the spring of 2012, Udacity announced their "CS373 - How to Build a Self-Driving Vehicle" course, which was supposed to be what Thrun could offer as comparable to the old AI Class (CS373 became the AI for Robotics course, IIRC). Later Udacity was able to offer the AI Class content. Coursera from the beginning offered the ML Class content. In both of these, I don't know how they each compare to the inaugural Stanford courses.

I want to note here that when I say "Stanford", I am not meaning to imply that Stanford offered them, or you got credit or anything like that - it was just that these courses were initially linked to them, via the instructors and the "experiment" in MOOCs. The response was so large, that the spinoff of Udacity and Coursera was the result.

Anyhow - I found that the CS373 course was really tough for me, though I was able to complete it fully. For me, it really help to open my eyes and mind more on how certain things worked (Kalman filters, PID, etc), and expanded on things I learned in the ML Class (ANNs especially). It also highlighted areas I needed help with (probability and stats, mainly). Coding wasn't the issue, as I has been employed as a software developer for over 20 years.

When the Self-Driving Car Nanodegree popped up, I jumped at the chance. I got in, I paid my initial money. I guess we'll see if it is worth it. I have no illusions that I am going to "land a new job" from this - if I do, great. I do hope that it will further my knowledge and understanding though in this field, and maybe it can help me with other things (I dabble in hobbyist robotics, for instance).

So yeah - one could say I am spending $2400.00 on a lark, but I have wasted similar large amounts for less on the payback end (worst one was paying for a year at TechShop - which I only went to a few times - but I know how to use a laser cutter and 3d printer now - w00t?). I am trusting that the level of the course will be on par with the CS373 course; I guess we'll see.
They should count the same for the apps then too.
I'm a big fan of Arturia and picked up a Key Lab 49 SE with their Prophet V & Solina plug ins. Truly beautiful synths...but the build quality of their key beds is horrible. I lurk their forums a lot and I feel really lucky I received a reliable unit. It seems like a lot of their customers are less than pleased with their purchase. I'm a happy customer though! Their synths deserve all the praise they receive.
For those wondering, Brexit will still happen but Parliament may decide to force the government to aim to remain in the single market. They will do this to prevent a cataclysmic economic shock, but in years to come the Brexiters will gloat about how well it all went and people will forget that it was Parliament and remainders that forced sanity upon the process, rather than referenda and populists.
what systemic bias exists that targets certain women (white, black, mexican), but not women of other races (particularly Chinese, Indian and Russian)?

Well, from what GP said, it may be attributable to the culture itself:

"a culture difference between groups who are well represented in engineering, and groups which are not."

Which is to equate (or conflate) systemic bias and cultural difference. In other words, it sounds to me like, "it's not systemic bias, prejudice just comes from people doing the things." It's just a simple substitution, because "systemic" refers to a system, not an overarching one, so while we may not be able to ascribe these tendencies in The Technology Sector (or similar large group), systems have subsystems (a la culture vs. subculture), and it may be that those are where bias becomes encoded.
