Tavis is an excellent researcher, but it's important to remember that finding bugs and posting them publicly is his full-time job, so it's not too surprising that he finds a few bugs that are noteworthy every month. He seems to emphasize breadth rather than depth in his searching, which is part of the reason he finds so many! After all, bugs are dense and most software is crap...

I suspect there are many others who are just as capable of doing the same work, but either A) don't have the opportunity (e.g. they have day jobs, few people work on P0) or B) aren't as public about their findings (e.g. exploit brokers, nation states, etc)

Anyway, that's what I remind myself whenever I start thinking "I wish I could be as cool as Tavis". Someday I'd love to have have the opportunity to do the same work.
ClearPath Dorado still had a Univac on a chip until 2015. This is actual hardware, not just software emulation.
I submitted this earlier, but thought I'll show it again now that I've created a demo.
Wouldn't they then refute with: "My employer chose between the insurer competition, not I" implying that there's still competition?

This gives people who are not from the major newspapers, magazines and TV stations access to ask questions at the briefing. Many of the majors don't even attend most briefings, so this could give more minor outlets much better access at low cost.

The insanity here (for me) is that I spent years trying to communicate the containment strategy aspect to TPP, even linking to public officials and defense documents specifying that this was the purpose. Ultimately I think I found some small measure success, but for the most part it was unwelcome news that the United States was trying to apply coercive statecraft on a competitor. For the most part the entire political spectrum didn't want to hear what I had to say. What's more those discussions often got hit hard by downvote brigading, trolling and moderator bans.

I never very much liked the TPP as it very clearly represented not only unwelcome international competition and power projection, but also because its chapters (first leaked and then eventually published) very clearly benefit large multinational businesses that lord over the United States' strategic resources, exacerbating issues of economic equality on the homeland. The benefit to the American people was that it made problems for the Rise of China - the real possibility of which could see my generations' children and grandchildren in an America that doesn't dominate the world like we do today.

I always felt like there was a better way: a way to both build America so that it is happy and safe, and create deals that benefit all social classes in the homeland.

I'm fairly certain that the Trump Administrations' instincts here will be to replace economic coercion with military coercion and I'm fairly certain that the administration's replacement deals will just as unequally favor those in America who already wield an outsized share of power.

In this regard I'm glad to see TPP go but I would much rather have seen a more creative administration holding the reins.
The article gave pay as either $15/h or $19/h before expenses, and cited expenses as being roughly a quarter of pay. Elsewhere in the article, a driver's pay is given as $12/h after expenses, which is consistent with the other numbers.

Is that a livable wage? I'm not sure, but it's higher than minimum wage. Does it make Uber sustainable? I'm not sure, but it arguably makes it more sustainable than Walmart.

"Google's never ending iteration of messaging products comes across as schizophrenic"

I guess Google needs a cigarette or ten.
All of the Star Wars movies made profits for their distributor. The accounting loss was recorded only in the special-purpose holding company (SPHC) that was specifically set up to disburse profits to net-profit participants. To ensure that this type of entity has no profits, all production and distribution expenses of the studio and distributor are generally charged to this entity, usually in advance lump sums. The studio and distributor record and are taxed on their income.

In many cases, any licensing income is earned by a separate but related company that paid the SPHC for the rights to re-license the film (but usually the distributor also acquires licensing rights). The SPHC is generally a profit-participant in the licensing company, but its share of the licensing profits usually varies based on industry politics (i.e., leverage).

A-listers with sufficient leverage and competent representation can sometimes participate in the profits...of the distributor. It's not enough to get gross profits since gross profits take into account COGS/COSS. What you really want is "first-dollar gross", meaning "gross income" before distributor expenses.

For example, say, "Gravity 2" makes $100m at the box office. That $100m is first-dollar gross. If WarnerBro's COGS were $80m, gross profits were only $20m. If Sandra's share of profits was 1% of first-dollar gross, she's looking at $1m; but if she only had a gross-profits participation, she's looking at only $200k. If Sandra was a net profit participant, she wouldn't make anything at all since Gravity Special Purpose Movie-Making Entity has an $X million dollar loss related to production expenses for making the movie and the distribution expenses WarnerBros is expensing to it.

[source: I do this. But not for WarnerBros or Gravity, those are just examples that are easily Googled if you want to follow up with your own research.]
Uber drivers are commercial drivers. There's no way around it. They should have a chauffeurs license at minimum and be subject to DOT limits on hours per week and hours per shift and hours between shifts.
did you do it via wire or ACH and did you initiate it through your broker or your bank? Perhaps what happened is your bank saw this other bank (your brokerage that you maybe rarely use) try to make a huge ACH withdrawal to your account. The amount is probably way bigger than you normally transfer so they're trying to protect you.

If thats the case, what might be easier is tell your bank "ok cancel the transfer", then get your brokerage's bank wire information, physically go to your bank, and initiate a "fed wire transfer" to your brokerage. Fed wire is like moving physical cash, it hits your account in minutes (not overnight like ACH usually is, and no "available balance" vs pending deposit bs)and is absolutely final. And if your bank refuses to move your money when you walk up in line and show them your ID, get a new bank.
I was pretty sure the news orgs I was following pointed this out at the time the merger was approaching its conclusion.

I'm glad a judge with access to more information that the average news consumer was able to make a judgement and reduce the uncertainty around the claims (both Aetna's and the news coverage).
In my personal experience - side projects, blogging and technical articles all help; done all three, seen results from all three (for getting both jobs and consulting / training work), and intend to do more. Ebooks are pretty sure to help too. Obvious caveat is that all have to be at least reasonably good. Blogging can take more, time though, you have to keep doing it for some time before people notice it. Every little bit helps, though, IMO.
So... you want no fraud liability, but don't want to be inconvenienced either?...

You could always look for a less zealous credit card provider, but generally speaking, the entity that takes the liability should be able to set the bar for risk. Otherwise you get subsidized risk taking, which has a way of getting out of hand.

You may well find that credit card companies who are not very zealous about security are merely more successful at weaseling out of the liability that their customers assume they are taking.

At the end of the day, fraud creates costs, and you can be sure that SOMEONE is paying those costs. If your credit card company doesn't seem very zealous about preventing fraud, then it's more likely that you are the one who will ultimately pay when the bill comes due.
My thought as well, but it's worth it to keep in mind young people probably shouldnt, along with those predisposed to schizophrenia and similar disorders, though I suspect certain strains or alternative cannabanoids out of the hundreds in addition to thc/cbd might be useful.

UBI is talked about, but is probably a long way off. But it's important to get the conversation started. We already have massive wealth redistribution in the U.S., in the form of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, etc., which make up 70% of the federal budget. UBI isn't about spending more but spending differently.
Why not just get more, higher quality sleep? It provides all of the upsides that you mention with no downsides.

Well we might have noticed it a lot earlier if psychiatrists did a better job of listening to their patients instead of scribbling a prescription and telling them to come back in 3 months. My last psychiatrist is regarded as one of the leading researchers in his sub-specialty and did very little to earn the $500/hour I was paying him.

Your comment assumes the psychiatric profession is generally meretricious and evidence-driven. Many psychiatric patients' experience suggests otherwise.
I don't think you can solve that problem. In the article, there's mention that the drivers don't seem unhappy about their job, just tired.

Is choosing not to control oneself part of Stoicism? Would like to read about that...
Rarely do devs ever remember what its like to be at the bottom. I've found the elitist attitude everywhere where devs will suggest completely unrealistic solutions to problems that are on such a higher level of development they miss the objective completely. I once saw a Python+JS dev tell a newcomer to JS to just write all their code in Python and transpile down to JS. They completely missed the point that in order to properly do so, you first have to know what your JS is going to do and how it works.

Its even more upsetting when you see all these stories of people that only took them 'a year' to start making a good living with it. Typically, they show the most arrogance by asserting that they have what they have because of their merit, when really the company that hired them just couldn't get anyone else that had some specific knowledge in what they were doing, or the job description was wrong, as they always are, so it attracted the wrong people. I don't consider these individuals to be developers of any usefulness outside of their scope of work, because they simply haven't spent time outside of it, so they are not problem solvers, they just look up guides online and make the same stuff everyone else makes.

Being a good developer takes time, it takes a lot of failure, and it takes a continued effort to learn.
Yes, this is definitely disingenuous.
Fascinating story. Sorry it has become tougher since quitting--a near Sophie's Choice predicament.

I find M.D.'s to be alarmingly low in intellectual curiosity.
Ask HN: Learning methods for solo entrepreneurs?
As a solo entrepreneur/developer, I find it difficult to find time to "learn" topics. Instead I mainly learn by "doing" which means I lack a lot depth and generally know enough to get things done.

What's a good method or technique to get a deeper learning while staying productive and getting things done (especially as a busy person with very limited time)?

It seems like learning things in depth is a pipe dream!
I'd add that the leading European nations, such as the UK, Germany and France, used to be global powers.

Power, soft and hard, depends in large part on pure economic capacity; that enables many things, including economic leverage, larger militaries, and high tech. I don't have the old numbers, but look at this list and imagine their relative power as individual nations before the rise of China and India:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_%28no...

But China and India likely will take two of the top three spots, along with the U.S., leaving those individual European powers far behind - $5 trillion economies in a world of $25 trillion superpowers (making a guess at future growth). They will be small fish among the sharks, no longer with a place at the table or influence on global affairs. A unified EU would be a fourth power, but that takes time, especially the political unification necessary to conduct foreign affairs (where the EU government has unified control of foreign policy - otherwise their words aren't backed up by the actual power). They are moving the wrong way.
Golang? Actually has pretty decent windows support (although some projects tend to assume Unix paths etc).

And freepascal, nim. Perhaps ocaml (but might require some magic to generate a standalone exe? I belive unison is available as just an exe file?).

I think you're kind of missing the point. According to the Drake equation and what we know about exoplanets now, you start by pointing to any star, any at all. The problem is that you won't be able to distinguish signal from the planet(s) from signal from the star.
Sorry I dont really understand what you are saying, are you saying Trump calling the pre-election polls incredibly biased , which turned out to be true, propaganda?

> If you were to take the class of IT professionals, those with jobs working in IT, I would say less than 0.5% would be able to put something in place in their house that even matches what's going on in the large clouds whose design and policies have been vetted by multiple people.

What do you base that on?

I googled "what does amazon do to make their cloud secure" and got Amazon's cloud security page.

https://aws.amazon.com/security/

It says:

1. They lock the doors at their data center.

2. They meet some unknown compliance requirements.

3. You can save money and scale with them.

4. You can buy some services to make you securer.

5. You can report vulnerabilities to them.

6. They use firewalls.

Click on through to their page about Pen Testing and all it says is if you want to do Pen Testing, you have to get permission first.

So how can I make the assumption that they are better than the people who manage security in-house?

I would bet that on more than one occasion, an employee or a customer has spoken up and said "things should REALLY be done differently." And I would bet that will happen again and again because the reality is that security is an ever-changing landscape.

I personally know they do some pretty impressive things where security is concerned, but I don't know the totality of their security solution. I doubt many amazon employees know what they do from the top down.

Would you have guessed that Yahoo would play cavalier with all of their users passwords? Or linkedin? Didn't they have security design and policies vetted by multiple people?

I'm just using amazon as an example because they were the cloud provider I thought of first.

Then I remembered Azure leaving all of their RHEL instances vulnerable by design:

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/11/28/microsoft_update_ser...

Would 99.5% of IT professionals really have set up RHEL environments that could be owned by a remote hacker on 1st startup? I don't know. That's a pretty bold claim.

I'm going to stand by my original comment. It's not meant to steer people away from the cloud. Just from making false assumptions.
Traditionally, the White House press corps was not exactly famed for its willingness to ask uncomfortable questions.
Yes that would be the standard reply. But the point is to shift the terms of the discussion away from choice vs non-choice and towards the realization that you're not making a choice at all. Someone is making a choice for you.

I'm convinced that if it were suddenly discovered today, nicotine would be hailed as a miracle drug.

It has several properties. It's both a stimulant and a relaxant. It helps you focus without burning out your neurons and inducing psychosis like amphetamines.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicotine#Psychoactive_effects

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicotine#Enhancing_performance

While there is some risk to it, the actual danger (cancer, heart attack, stroke) from smoking is due to the tar content and other products of combustion from burning tobacco. While nicotine doesn't help blood pressure, it's not the killer that smoking is. It's also somewhat carcinogenic -- again, not as much as tobacco smoke and tar itself. You can find 80 and 90 year old smoking, but you can't really find elderly using cocaine, for example. As far as drugs go, it's relatively safe, for the benefits that it provides.

Also, there are several MAOIs in tobacco smoke. MAOIs are used as last-line anti-depressants, because of their side-effects when taken in large doses. But with tobacco products, a user basically gets a tritrateable MAOI.

If we suddenly discovered nicotine today, I'm convinced that either it or a close chemical cousin would be a the next miracle drug for anxiety and depression.

Perhaps there is a molecular relative of nicotine that could be employed as such, perhaps with less side-effects.
> I don't fully understand the single payer concept, except that it essentially is a form of national health insurance similar to the British NHS.

Here's why single payer works to keep costs in check everywhere it's implemented:

Providers and pharmaceutical companies have only 1 organization to negotiate with.

Another alternative that won't see the light of day is cost regulation for the entire industry. My sons type 1 diabetes supplies for a quarter bill my insurance plan $6000. There's not more than a couple of hundred dollars worth of materials there (and I'm being generous.)

A friend of mine takes Gleevec, a leukemia drug, costing his insurer $14,000 per month. Generics are now coming on the market for a much "cheaper" $38,000/year. That same generic in Canada is $8,800/year.

We're being systematically ripped off.
I was prompted to install the plugin for WebEx a few weeks ago to attend an online meeting and am glad I had the right instincts about it. Everything about it screamed "wrong decade".
While they wouldn't be wrong, I think one of the huge distortions in the US health insurance market is that most of us get our health insurance through our companies. It distorts & hides costs, and it prevents employees from leaving for fear of health coverage uncertainty.

That's part of what gets me, really.

If this were another administration, people would celebrate this as something progressive and new. However, it's Trump, so it must automatically be terrible, regardless of the reasons put forth for this thing (which sound good and "progressive", honestly).

People aren't willing to even give it a chance before condemning it.

Of course people should be skeptical, especially since previous behavior has clearly lent reason to be skeptical... however, we shouldn't become jaded and start to view everything new from this administration as automatically bad or full of ulterior motives.
Voice & Fi numbers are considered "call forwarders." Call forwarders are not allowed (legally?) to forward numbers to other call forwarders. Hence the issues between Voice & Fi. This might be the same issue with Uber Eats.
I agree. I probably still wouldn't get myself to exercise much, but I know I'd spend a lot of time reading books, coding random stuff and learning new off-line skills.

It seems to me like there are different kinds of personality. I'm having a hard time treating my job as anything but a sacrifice of my time better spent elsewhere, that I need to do to afford the necessities. On the other hand, I know people who like having a job - among other reasons, because it creates a rhytm in their lives, much like a clock signal in digital electronics.
I am just curious, which platforms do you think provide the same benefits without the drawbacks ?
Kafka wrote many of his works by night, while by day he was an employee of the insurance company Assicurazioni Generali (and a good one at that, judging by the latest studies written about his life). If Bukowski wasn't capable of being a good writer while also holding a busy job that does not mean that it's not doable, it just means that the task was too much for Bukowski.
