Just from the filing of this lawsuit, he's probably already damaged goods to anyone who might be looking to hire him... not that he needs money though.

Firstly there appears to be public evidence of stealing from the employer and any hiring company would wonder if it would be the next target. Secondly, just by having him work on your tech, you might get exposed to lawsuits from Google.

No HR and Legal department would sign off on a such a hiring decision.

I think it's depressing that, despite abundant warnings from experts, we cannot convince ourselves to stop using massively centralized social media services.
This reads a little negative, but you're right about discipline.
Another case where git uses SHA1 is submodules.
You audit libfoo's well-regarded v1.3.3.7 release, commit badc00fee, decide it's suits your need and use that commit as a submodule in your project. You assume resolving the submodule will always give you same code (or fail).

Alas, libfoo author has been corrupted by The Adversary and later arranges for same hash to resolve to different code.
(currently we're talking of collision not 2nd preimage, but libfoo's author could have been planning it all along, before your audit.)

["libfoo" here is fictional, I'm not refering to any of the projects actually named that.]

Similar things happen when Git hashes are exchanged by any side channel. The ability to use strong hashes as pointers to content inside any other data is the whole beauty of Merkle DAGs.
Git submodules just happen to be one such channel that's part of git, but I think it's important to accept that git commit hashes are widely used outside git itself.

P.S. I see git-evtag already covers submodules. Nice.
I appreciate you taking the time to do this research. A great HN conttibution.
It's just the new and more powerful advertising medium. In the old days television filled that role, and it still does. Presidential elections in the US are always and only won by the candidates who spend the most money.
I don't think you've answered the question of why custom hardware is required. All of the information resources and channels you mention could be accessed from more common hardware.

> I wanted a leadership position at my company, but I was hired for a position that has no decision making power at all. Everyone here seems dumb and working on a few useless things.

This sentence alone signals that you are not ready to be a leader. Contrary to what you probably think right now, being a leader sucks in many ways:

- You should be empowering to those around you. This starts by being constructive instead of judgemental. Find out what are their strengths and weaknesses, and tell them how you think they can improve instead of poking at their weak spots. You should strive to always keep this attitude, even when under pressure and/or during bad personal times.

- You must be a good listener. Try to understand your team member's motivations and desires, and how they think/react to what's coming to them. Be prepared to accept that other people's thought processes are very different from yours, and your job is to understand them instead of trying to change them. Even if you possessed the absolute truth about everything, trying to shoehorn that truth into their minds wouldn't work. They need to see that truth by themselves, so you can only try to steer them towards finding it. In some cases the way to do that is by providing arguments. Other times arguments won't do it and you must show them. Later on, once you're actually seen by them as a leader you'll be able to appeal to trust. Don't overuse that though because you are not perfect and will make mistakes, which will erode your trust if you used that to impose your opinion onto others.

- You should be prepared to deal with the worse bullshit that's thrown to your team. You don't need to deal with all bullshit, but your team should be confident that you'll be first in line if/when shit hits the fan, and that you'll do your best to cover them.

- You should lower your expectations about others. You must demand the highest standards from yourself, but not from others. Do what you can to help them improve instead.

- Don't overreact when you get stabbed in the back (which will happen at some point). Attribute any bad situation to ignorance/stupidity before malice. Always try speaking with people first, and over time you'll develop a "sense" to discern bad actors from misunderstandings. In any case, being stabbed is an opportunity to improve that "sense", and is always a better situation than initiating work-warfare against a person who acted in good faith.

In case you haven't noticed, you don't need any "leadership position" to put all that to practice. You can start doing it right now, and I assure you that leadership will follow naturally. People will start turning to you when they need help. People will start wanting and valuing your opinion much more. This will make you feel important and purposeful, but it will also be stressful and demanding. Be up to the task and the pay will follow.

Let me quote from the internet:

Fuck motivation. it’s a fickle and and unreliable little dickfuck and isn’t worth your time.

Better to cultivate discipline than to rely on motivation. Force yourself to do things. Force yourself to get up out of bed and practice. Force yourself to work. Motivation is fleeting and it’s easy to rely on because it requires no concentrated effort to get. Motivation comes to you, and you don’t have to chase after it.

Discipline is reliable, motivation is fleeting. The question isn’t how to keep yourself motivated. It’s how to train yourself to work without it.
That's absolutely true. However, these are global yet centralized mediums, run by companies with global interests.

I am pretty sure that no-one's vote was swayed in either direction by either campaign and that every penny spent by both sides was wasted. Whether you are Leave or Remain, that is driven by underlying fundamentals, not by abstract arguments about balances of trade...

Sure, most people don't review all the code that they pull.

But if you are in a position to insert "garbage data" into a commit in preparation for an attack, it will be much easier to insert malicious but safe-looking code in the first place. Omit an array bounds check, disable SSL certificate validation, or anything else that looks like a mistake but will allow you to compromise the running code later.
I was a bit inaccurate there. I meant only the candidates who spend on the order of republican and democrat nominees. Independents can't afford to and they don't get votes. Except one or two guys in the 90's/2000's who got a big share at a huge financial expense.

Who even knows the name of any independent candidate? They don't have advertising to tell us what they stand for or make us believe they're big enough to win.
In all of these cases it was self-inflicted. Not a "bandwagon".
Find someone to help.

Preferably, this will be someone at work. Either someone in your job who's as stuck as you are, someone in the next layer up who needs a boost, or someone in the next tier down who needs a hand. It will be your next big challenge, to recognize that someone else needs help, to determine what kind of help that is, and to offer what you can.

Your only measure of success is whether that person succeeds.

The three benefits to taking this approach are:

1) it's easier to objectively measure whether what you're doing is working
2) you get to practice helping yourself, on someone else!
3) it will help you stop being an asshole, which is probably something you're doing

I hope you try it. It doesn't take very long, maybe just a few weeks, but don't hesitate to try it a few times.

Good luck!
also to divert my criticism, that directory is not for new commits
Using C++ as "C with classes" with some carefully selected new features is an absolutely fine subset of the C++ language and IMHO the only way to circumvent the mess that C++ has become. The problems are the huge pile of cruft that has accumulated over the years in the std library, the boost-over-engineering approach, and the unfocused development of the language (instead of cutting the cruft down new standards add random new features on top of the existing mess). The current 'shiny new languages' will probably look the same in 30 years though.

Their system was deliberately targeted at swing voters; i.e. people who were "fundamental"ly unsure.

It's just a numbers game like sales, you may not always be able to influence one particular voter but you can nudge a swing population X number of percentage points in your favoured direction.
She won the popular vote though. Which partially proves his point. That being said, correlation doesn't mean causation.
Can someone correct me. SVN/Subversion and GIT are affected by SHA-1 problem. SVN uses SHA-1 internally, but exposes only a numeric int as revision. GIT uses SHA-1 internally and as revision. So if someone commit a modified PDF that collides he can run havoc on both SVN and GIT at the moment. It seems easier to fix the issue in SVN than GIT.

When I first began my website, http://www.confessionsoftheprofessions.com, my 3 visitors were Googlebot, my mom, and my girlfriend. I loved writing and I had an obsession with what everyone was doing at work. It led me to think: Confessions of the Professions. I wrote a lot of articles, solicited a lot, and even paid a lot of people on Fiverr to write articles. After that first year, which was probably the most exciting and depressing at the same time.

I can remember getting excited when I received 30 visitors in one day. Over 4 years later, the website is receiving well over 30,000 visitors a month from all over the world, makes money in ads (not enough for me to quit my day job, but it does pay for the server), and I have written hundreds of articles already, with hundreds waiting to be published, and my inbox? Literally dozens of unique articles sent to me each month with requests from individuals, freelancers, marketers, and companies all wanting to have their publication on the site. There is normally a 2-3 week waiting list just for me to publish an article.

So what I have learned is... websites mature as do you depending on your approach to your own blog/website. It can be your greatest passion or just a seldom side hobby. It seems, the more you love it, the more your visitors love it, and the more they are the ones who actually keep it going, keep coming back, keep commenting, keep sharing with their following, and ultimately, they are the ones who keep YOU motivated to maintain your blog.

I have so many that rely on me that I actually would hate to let them down, so I do take the website as serious as a business, and I moved the server to an optimized VPS, daily scheduled backups, and the images are all stored on a CDN, just to ensure the site is mostly safe from going down and prevention of any (most) data loss.

The best advice one can give, just as you did: Just keep going.

Just keep writing. Just keep coming up with clever ideas and topics to write about. You can literally write about anything, though it is always best to focus on the topics you know best. In doing so, you won't come to hate your blog in a few months and you'll learn how to write and publish more than just one article a week.

Hope your blog continues to rise and see growth! Just keep writing! ;)
Its seems a bit political that the total number of Syrian refugees are not mentioned in the article to contrast with the total number of Balkan refuges (and, to be even more fair in comparing numbers, we might include people from neighboring countries to get a similar land size.)

In my rough understanding, we talking about 100,000 refugees from the Balkans that came between 1991 and 2001 vs around 300,000 refugees from Syrian and neighboring countries for the time period 2011->2016.
It's rather funny that the cyclist who rides downhill at 40mph outside my home every day classifies cars as the hazard and not himself, since he must ride on the road and not the footpath. He's no different to the guy who was riding at a similar speed on the footpath outside of my work. Apparently that was OK, you see, because if he was on the road he would have been riding the wrong way on a one way street and there was no way he was going to ride around the block to get on the southbound road. He nearly hit me every day after work for a month, because he was cutting blind corners at speed.

What about the two who were occupying a whole traffic lane, weaving back and forward to stop cars overtaking, while riding at under 15mph in a 40mph area? They'd start screaming like lunatics at anybody who legally overtook them - the cops wanted a word with them, but they disappeared when they saw me on my phone.

Five or six times a day, cyclists run a red light at a busy intersection in town. I see many near-accidents in my fleeting times in that intersection, all of which are caused by the cyclists - and I'm not counting the number of times they've nearly hit pedestrians crossing with the red light. I've seen one car run a red light, three years ago, since I started crossing there in 2012.

Years ago, I was overtaken by a cyclist and his three children, just as I had begun my turn. I nearly ran over the father, and they took their sweet time to move through the intersection a car coming the other way (who legally had the right-of-way) had to stop and wait for them. I could have got out of my car and walked, and I would have got to the other side before they did. They bumbled along as if they'd done nothing wrong.

It's not uncommon for cyclists enter intersections on foot, and so legally become pedestrians for the duration of the crossing, and then jump on their bikes and dodge through traffic while hurling obscenities at vehicles who have right-of-way because they didn't enter as pedestrians. The law here doesn't change your status because it's convenient for you.

Back in 2013, one of my ex-workmates told me quite a tale, about the time she pulled up at a set of lights. When she moved off she signaled to change lanes and only noticed by chance that there was a cyclist holding onto her car to get a free ride. He couldn't have seen her signal, the indicator was near his foot, and if she had turned he would have toppled in high speed traffic, perhaps ending up under her wheels.

Back in the early 1990s, a friend of mine was pulling out of his garage and was hit by a cyclist at some speed - the cyclist threatened to call the police, but stopped short he would have been charged, not my friend.

Don't lump it all on drivers, cyclists are dangerous, too.

For jet.com and Trump's site, this would happen on residential connections in Guatemala. Jet.com fixed it after I told them. Most likely they just leave CF's bad defaults.
Why? Two things could happen here: The self-driving car could recognize hand gestures. Or the police could carry a simple radio transmitter device which would transmit directions to the self-driving cars (while also making gestures for human-driven cars). This is hardly some insurmountable problem.
It's a somewhat different issue.

Git can probably not be havoced by committing two colliding files (and doing so would require doing another chosen prefix attach with a git blob header). But git looses cryptographic integrity promises due to this attack (aka: you can have different source trees with different histories leading to the same top commit hash). svn never had any cryptographic integrity to begin with.

i think it's a locked down software system that provides near real time data on in various financial markets around the world. the reason why this is useful is alot of stock info you find online is 5 -15 minutes old.. which is kind of useless if you need to buy and sell in realtime.
The real problem is going to be where history matters and you can't delete - for example archive.org and httparchive.org. There is no way to reproduce the content in the archive obviously, so no one will be deleting it. The only way is to start a massive (and I mean MASSIVE) sanitization project...
It's almost as if the software is buggy and they need to test it and fix the bugs. Which is why they have the human driver there to make sure things don't get drastically out of control.
According to this Infowars article [1] (not the most unbiased source, but if they fudge their numbers I would expect them to exagerate) there were 11 murders in Malmø in 2016. For a city of almost 300,000 people that is about 3.7 murders per 100,000 people. As a point of reference, in 2016, NYC had a homicide rate of 3.91, LA 7.25, Chicago 28.0 per 100,000 [2]. Those are big cities, so one would expect the crime rate to be higher.

Anyway, your statement that almost every weekend somebody is shot in Malmø was incorrect for 2016.

Well, one obvious difference is that it's a private entity rather than a government. But you don't have to look very hard to find instances of the american government interfering in foreign elections. It's one of their favorite pastimes.
It is almost as if the presence of the word 'truth' in a political context has the same value as the presence of the term 'democratic' in the name of a country - Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea, German Democratic Republic, etc.

Which is a shame as it is possible to say a few things which have the ring of truth about them concerning the 'migrant crisis' in Sweden. Instead of writing a long diatribe I'll just link to a video made by someone calling himself 'an angry foreigner' ('en arg blatte' in Swedish, the last word is a derogative term for foreigner) someone who came to Sweden in one of the previous waves of refugees during the Balkan wars.
