I read it differently. They present three hypothetical sources for the emails:

Leak at DNC

Hacking

Leak at NSA

The reconstruction of emails explains why an NSA employee could be the leaker. The technical argument about detecting hacking is unrelated (except that a packet reconstruction of all DNC traffic would contain evidence of the attack and data transfer, which the NSA can supposedly reliably data mine).

I agree a better article would be nice.
It's safe to assume because it's SOP for politicians. You aren't saying anything that hasn't been true of any incoming president in my lifetime. Hell, it's often true in the private sector during a management change.
This seems like the kind of design you would come up with if you've never held a rifle before, let alone tried to service one.
I just did this on my iPhone, and it worked instantly. In fact I've never seen an AMP page that doesn't load...

My guess would be that you have a content blocker, ad blocker, anonymizing proxy, DNS server with ad-blocking, or something in your setup that's breaking it, because it's not broken natively.
> rather than spending that cash on a bigger AirBnB/hotel room promising a desk and fast WiFi

This is a risk you can't take as a business-person in a lot of ways. There's many places in the world that are great to visit and travel to, but that simply don't have acceptable quality of residential Internet connections. For example, I was in Rabat, Morocco a few months ago and was able to work effectively because I had a coworking space with fiber Internet connectivity, meanwhile the best broadband connection on offer to residential addresses was similar in performance to 56k dial-up in most of the rest of the world.

The part that makes a coworking space a preferable working environment isn't the lack of solitude, it's the guarantee of high performance Internet connectivity.
It could be, but it almost certainly is not.

All other things being equal, a country's GDP is probably a good 1st order estimate of its influence in the world. Over the past several decades China's GDP has been increasing at a faster rate than the US so your feeling is probably correct. Relatively speaking China's influence has been rising and the US's has been falling.

I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing. It mostly means that in terms of GDP per capita China has been catching up which means many millions being lifted out of poverty.
Though I see a slight grayish tint to your comment indicating some down votes, you're spot on. Does anyone really think someone's automotive buying decision goes something like, "yeah, it's hard to park and the mileage sucks, but at least I don't have to take 30 minutes out of my day once every few years to go get emissions tested. That'll make the rough ride and the hundreds of extra dollars in fuel expenses worth it."? No, no one has ever thought that when buying a car.
I might argue that you're right on most counts, but there's one project type that'd be a step above that: creating a side project that stands entirely on its own.

It has the effect, like you had said, of being not limited by clients and learning new skills. But on top of that, you'd show yourself as an independent thinker and started closer to zero than standing on the shoulders of other companies (in this case, Apple) and making spec work.

Again, not to say it's wrong, because I think you're very correct in thinking this is great for designers, but I do think this could be one step higher.

(And, for the sake of argument, I'm completely ignoring what neither of us stated: that probably more than half the battle as a professional in this industry is navigating politics, which the skills for obviously cannot be conveyed through a spec or side project.)
Perhaps this is the rare place where a more impersonal interaction helps avoid some of the negatives outlined above.

Anecdotally I've felt all of the professors are eminently interested in interacting with MS students online.
GTX 1080? That seems like an unlikely choice to me. Apple prefer AMD GPUs, not NVidia's.

The GTX 1080 is also part of NVidia's consumer line, whereas the current Mac Pro has FirePro chips, which are from AMD's workstation graphics line.
> Instead, google built an entirely new presentation method itself.

I'm not a web dev, but I understand there were also requirements about deterministically sizing elements, as having things jump around the page is really disruptive to a mobile user. I thought the presentation method stuff was to help prevent presentation issues, including dark patterns.

Is there a way to use static or dynamic analysis to prevent that sort of thing?
Yes, but you have to admit that not using the DDR4 was an iffy, arbitrary judgement call on the part of Apple.

Only the 15"s can have 32GB, and I would think a lot of pro users would make the battery life trade off if given the opportunity.

The reduced battery life of a 32GB 15" Macbook Pro would not impact a significant number of Mac users -- most normal people wouldn't be willing to pay for the RAM upgrade (Apple RAM is never cheap) and it seems like the majority of people prefer the 13" models anyways, and they are capped at 16GB.
Are you saying the quality of life is better in Austin?

(I'm in Austin and am / was considering moving to Palo Alto or San Francisco.)
Well, PG presents them as different bets, one of which paid off. They were the same essential bet from Newton's perspective. For example, books on physics at the time referred to religion heavily, sometimes as a cornerstone of an argument. Even Newton's Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica says "Collocavit igitur Deus Planetas in diversas distantiis à Sole, ut quilibet pro gradu densitatis calore Solis majore vel minore fruatur."
job creation isnt basic, especially disruptive change and new economies of scale.

these jobs will displace slash replace other jobs. calling the jobs created growth without looking at what the new industry destroys is like going to the casino and bragging about how much you won, while withholding how much you "invested."
Celebrating 15th anniversary??? This might be the oldest running "Show HN" yet.
I work remotely for a US company but they are a 100% remote company so everybody is scattered across the globe there, I found them a few years ago in a Who's Hiring thread posted here. I make far more than what a local company would ever pay me, and in USD. I set up a federal corporation, hire somebody to do taxes every year and have a USD local business account to receive wires because any bank will pillage you in fees to exchange wires otherwise.

The only problem is dealing with both sides of the border when you tell them you're going down/returning for something work related. It can range from an hour long interrogation to being waived through so I stopped attending any kind of work related conferences or meetings if they are in the US. Others also had problems so we generally do this in the UK now.
That depends on your bias. Does the fed "induce a recession" when it raises interest rates or does the Fed "induce inflation" when it lowers interest rates?

Low interest rates creates the mortgage crisis.

If there is "full" employment, then low interest rates cause a massive problem because it prints money that has nothing to buy.
It is appropriate to turn off the money spigot when the economy has no more room to grow.
Isn't that an argument for better window management, not redoing it in a slightly different way in every single application?

Of course, putting better window management in the OS would require the OS to offer hooks for 'new tab' etc, and then all the applications would have to be changed to use that facility instead of their own, which isn't particularly likely to happen any time soon.
Emails harvested from HN and spammed – I'm looking at you mbientlab.com
I used to have an email in my HN profile, but it got harvested by mbientlab.com and spammed. Worse, not only spammed, but even though I followed the link and unsubscribed from their list, I'm getting spam from them again.

I wish there was some way to cause this to cost them something, but currently all I can think of is to name and shame, even though naming them gives them publicity.
I didn't say "it doesn't make sense for executables". I said it makes sense for terminal projects on which nothing has a versioned dependency. This is usually (maybe always) executables, but not all executables fall under that heading.

edit: Oh I see. I can see how you'd interpret what I said as implying that [all not libraries] are terminal. I wasn't being exhaustive. :)

That seems all right. Possibly the "about us" idea is even better.
I thought I explained that in the remainder of my sentence, but I'll go ahead and clarify that I do think AT&T should be legally barred, but I also think it's a waste of time to argue about it. It's a question of effectiveness and of time & energy and how to best spend it. Why spend time asking lawmakers for net neutrality regulation, when instead we could do what we do best as engineers and build the network such that net neutrality and privacy is built in. Then we don't have to sit around hoping that AT&T and others are not tempted to seek ways to make money. Why spend time writing articles that complain about the Republican pro-industry FCC, when we have the power amongst ourselves to build a better internet and take the question of net neutrality off the table entirely?

The USPS analogy is a bit apples to oranges; the USPS is a government organization and AT&T is one of many private for-profit entities that carry our digital communication. Furthermore, AT&T already was legally barred from listening to conversations going through their network and they did it anyway. I don't exactly trust them, even if there are laws.

I don't think we should expect companies to not try to make money. Their function is to try to make money. If they see ways to try to make money, by asking consumers to pay extra for faster connections to Netflix, they should be allowed to offer premium services.

A big problem with the question of net neutrality is that it's subjective. It's fair to say they're slowing people down if they don't pay more. It's also fair to say they're just offering premium service for a premium fee. These is no winning this argument, both sides have valid arguments. Focusing on privacy instead will answer a question that has a clearer "right" answer, and it will automatically yield a network that has net neutrality built in.
No source, no deal (let alone no Linux support). With projects like Vivaldi and now this, are we really heading back to the dark ages of non-portable closed source browsers?
there'd be no incentive to lie if the EPA wasn't forcing these "standards" on them.

Now, there's no reason to innovate because someone spends big bucks to actually do what everyone else is lying about.

This isn't damming of private industry - it's damming of the regulation.

(Er, to me. Obviously you might come to a different conclusion. Just wanted to throw in how this article can be read both ways.)

Yubikey and SSH authentication
Yes. To be clear, I am not saying you can't do anything without cargo, but if you depend on any crates it makes very little sense to try to not use it. It only really makes sense to try if you have no external rust dependencies, which I think usually either means you're writing a kernel or a toy.
It's amusing that he uses a modern chauvinism ("making a bet") in this way, while noting that some of Newton's "bets" were only "wasteful" (risky, bad, whatever) when viewed through the lense of modern knowledge.

He has a good point, put poorly, and without good support in his chosen example.

There's a thumbnail view, a detailed view, and a list view. Does the list view truncate the title? I only started using Plex a few days ago but I don't recall it cutting names short when I swapped to the List View for a moment.

I'll check again tonight when I get the opportunity - but I imagine a name would need to be quite long for List View to not be good enough (assuming it doesn't truncate).

> I'm proud of you, but I've played with Linux on the desktop for the last nineteen years, in various flavors. It's just never going to compete with the MacOS experience. It will never have the nice applications, the polished interface, the tight integration with my iphone/ipad. Great server OS, poor desktop.

sjtgraham (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13383982) and several of his or her peers find that it does have what they need, while obviously you don't.

tup [0]. It's a build system. Very fast, plays well with git (can automatically add generated artifacts to your .gitignore file(s)). I only use it for stuff at home, but it's worked very well for me. A few gotchas and a bit too esoteric to introduce to my office (make is everywhere, have to deal with other developers in other companies, migraine inducing IT bureaucracy). The main thing keeping me from using it more is that most of my home stuffs (these days) are straight rust and rust has its own build system (with cargo) that works well enough.

tup only rebuilds the parts that need to be rebuilt. The build files you produce are dependency trees, it can recognize when a node in the tree hasn't changed and won't trigger further actions. Consider: You modify the comments in your .c source file, correcting a typo from "alpabetical" to "alphabetical". There has been no code change. Make will, without additional configurations, build the .o file, and then rebuild everything else down the line to the final lib or exe. tup will recognize, by default, that the .o file is unaltered, and won't trigger any further action.

tup also has a monitoring system that I intended to port to OS X but got distracted on. It will watch the filesystem for changes so it doesn't need to walk the filetree to identify the change when you issue the build command. It'll already know exactly what has changed and be ready to issue the (near-)optimal instructions.

I'm all for "outing" schools that really don't teach. I have found that most people go into a weird denial about the colleges they went to once they graduated. I won't even tell the truth about the undergraduate, and graduate school I attended. I knew that 80%, or 90% of the courses I was required to take were busy work, or poorly executed. It didn't bother me because when I went to school, the price was doable, and it was better than working. Now--it's a different story.

I'm currently enrolled in the OMSCS program, and so far I would call it so-so.

I joined the program because I come from a non-CS background - undergrad in math, work in an unrelated field: consulting. I'm trying to pivot into a ML Engineer career. If you want to learn ML, you're better off going through the Ng Coursera course and from there pursuing some personal projects. The primary value of the program is the ability to get past recruiting coordinators simply due to the fact I'm enrolled in CS program.

The two undergrad CS courses I took at Berkeley were more rigorous, and were superior from a skills development perspective. But at the price, the OMSCS program is definitely worth it for someone coming from a different background.

The only thing resembling a systematized screening method that I use is to keep a list of stocks I feel that I understand, and track their development over time (e.g. 30 days, 90 days etc).

If a stock has moved 50% in 30 days, either something happened (which would be tangible and in the news) or there is a lot of speculation going on. Investigating the latter of such cases further, sometimes the event that will resolve the speculation is fairly specific. E.g. a shareholder vote or a court ruling. In such cases, if you are able to form an opinion about what the outcome of the situation will be, American options can be a great tool.

That's one of the points. Back then, using Xcode and develop for iOS were bonuses, yet another reason to buy a Mac. These days, it feels more like I am obligated to buy a Mac if I want to develop for iOS. Not the same pleasure it once was.
