How about they actually investigate and find out whether he is telling the truth or lying ? This isn't passing judgement , this is actual reporting. So he was lying back then but now he is telling the truth and "journalists" should not pass judgement ?
Gotta work with what you have. If the intent is to communicate effectively on HN now, there are better ways to do it.

I'm not saying quoting is bad. There are better ways to do it on HN, such as using prefix > or italics.
It is not the role of the judiciary to define what is just of unjust: they just need to make a ruling based on the law. There is really no difference if someone is paid $20k or $90k: you always must discount that rate if you are not an hourly employee. It is not theft: it is at-will employment and nobody is being forced to take it.

Also, the ruling is only being postponed:

---
“Due to the approaching effective date of the Final Rule, the Court’s ability to render a meaningful decision on the merits is in jeopardy,” he wrote. “A preliminary injunction preserves the status quo while the Court determines the department’s authority to make the Final Rule as well as the Final Rule’s validity.
---

If the law was clear, then there would be no difference between whether the decision is done during the current or future administration. It seems that there is enough ambiguity that the course of action varies depending on who is in power, which appears to indicate to me that the overtime rule by Obama's administrations was on weak grounds regardless.
One positive thing that might result is FCC or another agency's requirement to open the source of the critical parts of the system.

An analogy: if you produce a soda, you can keep the recipe secret. If you produce a potent regulated medicine, you publish detailed formulas and include them in every box of the drug.
Having been in NYC nearly my whole life and the entire time seen a culture of contractors getting fucked over on payment, especially in entertainment/media/fashion/advertising, this is a great, GREAT day.

Animation studios here are among the worst. Most people I know had to fight for months to get paid and many did years of work without ever getting paid. YEARS. Like they did it for the love or something.

A few years back, a whole studio was contracted for a project and mid-way to completion the client came to them and said "I spoke to God and He told me not to do this project" and walked away from it and never paid for anything. The studio didn't even have any kind of protection against this sort of thing.

You can't imagine how bad an environment this is for getting paid for creative work. Indefinite illegal internships, lowball salaries and "for the exposure" jobs abound. Folks are so desperate to come and work here that they put up with it -- I just don't know how they afford it.

Can someone explain how the possible strings break the parseInt()? Source code:

function startTimer(seconds) {
seconds = parseInt(seconds) || 3;
setTimeout(function() {
window.confirm("Time is up!");
window.history.back();
}, seconds * 1000);
}

I tried running parseInt() in the console and just got NaNs for `'+alert()+'` and `3'); alert('`.
> The users in question abusing spez have zero right to their speech on the platform.

Oh God, this tired distraction again? We know they have no "right to free speech" on a private platform. We know. Everybody knows. Reddit is not the government and can do what it wants. It could replace every instance of "/u/spez sucks" with "/u/spez is great!" and be absolutely within its rights. What we're saying is that such behavior would not be in the spirit of free speech and would raise questions about Reddit's claimed commitment to that principle, not that it's actually illegal.

You're right. Thanks for making me consider that.

There should be a term for your kind of comment, I propose "betterguy trolling", it's very similar to concern trolling but at its core is the belief that you are better than the other person. Your commemts have zero value here, all you said was to point fingers and laugh at the other guy's views. "It's PIZZA how can it be bad" is the extent of your research that you are letting on over the course of what - 4 comments. Maybe there is still a better word for it, it's not just about pretending to be better - ah I think I got it: "in-person trolling". You simply act like your viewpont is the sane normal accepted view.

There's a vocal contingent of alt-right Donald Trump supporters that think this is a big deal.
Not like government created Obamacare. There is a huge difference. One is extremely political while other is almost independent other than being funded (insignificant part of whole budget) by government. I would argue involement of government, while appreciated, was not essential in creating Internet considering how independently it was invented around the world.
It's great that these bugs have been found and fixed. I'm frightened by this report however. If a well managed open-source project like Curl has this number of pretty serious bugs that can be found by skilled auditors, what hope do we have of securing ourselves against state sponsored attacks? Really no hope, I think. Given the amount code on a modern computer, there must be no shortage of "zero-day" holes they can use.

Maybe this is not news to most informed people. It shocks me though. I know the situation is bad, just didn't fully grok how bad.
Of course most people don't believe the pedo stuff. However, they're totally on board with slandering the DC power-brokers, especially the ones who exemplify the class-culture of the "liberal elite." That's what this is really about: the attacks on art are the main giveaway.

While I "get" the Maria Abramovic "Spirit Cooking" stuff qua art, it pretty clearly also shows art as "high-class trash". When people see Abramovic's art, then see pictures of her with all kinds of elites and celebrities, they're right to see the culture as decadent. But then again bourgeois decadence isn't anything new...
Does it? Really? An admin played a prank on a bunch of insane, out of control conspiracy minded screaming blubbering trolls calling him a pedophile with a dumb silly find/replace rule. God forbid, next forums will start replacing words like 'shit' and 'fuck' with symbols to try and hide the truth of what we /really/ mean from the world.

Who cares? Why is this a big deal? I am so unbelievably unimpressed with the seriousness of this, I feel like there is such an enormous effort to pretend this is "serious business" and "the integrity of reddit" (?) is somehow being compromised. We all knew this could be done. On any forum. Reddit is a silly place. Reddit is a place for people to shitpost memes and puns with throwaway accounts. The Donald is a subreddit that revels in trolling and messing with people, spewing toxic garbage nonstop. They riled up the main admin of reddit so much he did something childish -- a pretty impressive trolling effort. That's the end of this story as far as I can tell.

> Because private blockchains are a solution to a network problem

Would someone mind explaining more specifically how private blockchains do anything that a traditional shared database or network doesn't already do? Without the incentives, distributed computing power, and public participation in a blockchain like Bitcoin, what does a private blockchain actually do?

If it's "private", does that imply that, like Ethereum, the blockchain could be forked at any time by those who claim ownership of it? Doesn't that essentially undermine the validity of many of the selling points associated with blockchain technology?

I've heard cases made about things like smart contracts, cryptographic authentication, and other "exciting applications", but I don't understand how these are any more effective in the context of a private blockchain than they would be directly relying on certain cryptographic primitives and traditional networks - especially in the absence of a public, globally distributed network with incentives that are aligned with improving the strength of the blockchain itself.
Cite this "hard evidence", please. And quoting Trump does not qualify.

I think you might be over thinking it, though I can understand how it's a daunting question.

I believe the intent is to ensure that it's understood the list isn't a requirement, but rather the varying options and levels of secure you can have based on your wants/needs.

When asking someone to create a threat model, you can begin with a simple question: "What are you afraid someone will do to your computer?" From this, you can then begin to piece through the list and look for items that address that.

Just care about malware? Look at the scanning tools.

Fearful that some bored teens in eastern europe are goofing around with hacking shit? Look at the security and notification tools

Think Putin is sending the new FSB/KGB after you for your exfiltrated борщ recipe? Look at the disk encryption section. (and perhaps professional help)

Maybe it could use some clarification, but I think the author's intent here was to convey that the list isn't a laundry list of "do this or your computer is going to be attacked", but more that you get what is required for your needs. Many of these tools require that you adopt different computing habits than traditional computing, and not all are applicable to every single use case.

I am reluctantly thinking of jumping ship too. What is keeping me back is that, I remember, a little while after Windows 10 was released, there was a scandal because it sent users' data back to Microsoft, disregarding privacy settings. I haven't followed the story too much since, and could not find anything saying the issue was "fixed". Does anybody know how the story ended?

Oh, now actual reporting is "finger-wagging".
I've always read "getting my work done" as similar to "pulling my own weight" or "doing my fair share." They're not supposed to be read literally, only to convey an overall sentiment.

When I managed my team, work was never assigned to an individual. It was assigned to the team and the team took responsibility for it. Individuals accepted responsibility for pieces of work as they completed prior work. If an individual wasn't contributing enough, either the team's productivity would suffer or other members of the team would step up to fill in the gap. If that that lack of contribution became consistent, I'd notice, either through poor team performance or conversations with disgruntled team members who were covering.

A lot of it was handled by feel and when a member of my team felt like he was accomplishing enough to keep the team performing well, s/he absolutely had the discretion to leave early. The key is that when the team is responsible, people are motivated very differently from when an individual is responsible. Your team members are often your friends whereas you might have a more combative relationship with your manager. No one wants to be the one that lets the team down. And, similarly, if a team is being pushed too hard, everyone will feel it and everyone can push back together. This makes it really easy to see, as a manager, when you're asking too much of people.

I'd say if you're looking for a healthy work environment, look for ones that emphasize team accountability over individual accountability and then try to find a team where everyone respects each other. That team is, more often than not, going to do well and you'll share in that success. If you have a slump, someone will cover for you. If someone else does and you feel up to it, you can go above and beyond for a bit. It's a lot easier to give that extra effort when you're doing well than it is when you're struggling.
Since Wikileaks is publishing other people's private information—as opposed to "news" or "journalism"—the only thing to "watch" is if what they are publishing has been altered or not (or was made up out of whole cloth).

To the best of my knowledge, there are no known instance of Wikileaks publishing fraudulent or altered information.
The implication is that Trump will rescind Obama's new rule.

The NY Times apologized and agrees with the critique that its reporter was terrible:

The Times sent von Hagen's report to the Pulitzer Board and left it to the Board to take whatever action they considered appropriate.[27] In a letter accompanying the report, New York Times publisher Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, Jr. called Duranty's work "slovenly" and said it "should have been recognized for what it was by his editors and by his Pulitzer judges seven decades ago."

I think it's a big deal and I wouldn't be in the "alt-right" for sure.

Having a CEO of a social media site impersonate users and censor comments calls into question the credibility of the their whole brand.

That's not a partisan perspective???

How would you feel if Paul Graham of HN changed your comment to "I am strong supporter of the alt-right?" ...you wouldn't like that. Opposing opinions are fine - using admin priledges to put words to literally put words in users mouths is madness?

I already made a comment elsewhere - but I'm surprised they haven't let him go. If reddit were a real company, they wouldn't tolerate that. I wonder what would happen if a middle manager started tampering with user comments - he would be gone.

Any time you compare two averages, you are doing statistics, whether or not you report the result in statistical terms. It's not something optional that you can "add on" to provide extra information. If you don't provide some measure of significance, I'm not going to trust that your result has any chance of being real. At best, you don't really know whether the result is real because you ignored the statistics; at worst, you ran the statistics and know it's not real, and you're hoping I won't notice.
If this happened in a pro-Bernie sub, I guarantee you would be furious - creating petitions and joining protests, oh wait.
