It probably was, but any encrypted data still exists in unencrypted form in the server's memory before it's encrypted and sent out over https. You have to have something to encrypt before you can encrypt it.

The memory leaked by this bug includes that pre-encryption data, which is what we're seeing here.

True, but I feel like if they wanted to ensure their death, they could've just wiped them with the same rag after Kim was confirmed to be exposed. It seems they just let them go, so I guess they didn't care either one way or the other about their survival?
I don't think it's fair to try split the issue into 'good' and 'bad' automation because in either case there is a displaced worker that needs more resources to change careers than unemployment can provide.

If we're going to live up to the expectation that automation will free up labor to work on more useful things then that labor has to have mobility and access to education.
That kind of statement reminds me of this guy:

If you have a link proving that, I would love to see it. I completely believe you that it was added later, as it's my own recollection that there was no note.

But regardless, it doesn't change the fact that Zed wrote as if didn't know what he was talking about.
As I understand it, the distinction goes back to the Geneva convention and similar rules of "just war" that aim to minimize harm to civilians.

Specifically, if you openly declare war, wear uniforms, carry weapons openly and follow other rules of war, your opponents can blow you up while leaving civilians alone (and you can do the same to them). Then you've just got a regular war going on.
It will be. The shooter is going to get the death penalty I'm quite certain of it.

> This incident fails to explain why common stockholders should have zero voting power.

They don't have zero voting power. They have greatly reduced voting power. Huge difference.

Snap Inc. is a delaware corporation. The shareholders (DE = shareholder; NY = stockholder) have certain non-waivable rights as a matter of delaware law.

To put it another way: The founders create the company, including designing the ownership structure. The fact of the matter is, common shareholders are willing to buy into this structure, even without very strong voting rights, at a huge valuation. The proof is in the pudding - why should the founders have done otherwise? No one is forcing the common shareholders to buy into the Company - they are doing so knowing full well that they have very low voting rights.

So, why should management give up control to common stockholders? What benefit is there? The only answer, in my role as a corporate lawyer, is when the company cannot raise money on terms more favorable to the founders and management.

That was not the case with Snap. And it worked out brilliantly.
Not sure if your just a cynic and distrust everything or your trying to be a skeptic and try and find the truth.

This is what makes medical research. Using mice is a very established way of testing hypothesis. Are you trying to say that we should only trust human studies when humans can't be controlled and limit what is impacting the body?

I also fail to see that research not being reproducible = weak science when you then knock a study that is reproducible but then you knock it for being not human based. The fact that a lot of science isn't reproducible has many honest scientific reasons, while other's are fraud.

I think it's worth distinguishing "constructive vs. non-constructive" and "ZF style vs. type theory" as different axes, which I think are getting conflated a bit here; you can have type theory style formal systems that embody non-constructive/non-computational principles, and you can have ZF style systems limited only to constructive reasoning (in the sense of Heyting-style intuitionistic logic, say).

Having distinguished these axes, for what it's worth, I don't think ZF-style theories of the cumulative hierarchy of transfinitely iterated sets of sets of sets…, and everything else as encoded into this by hook or by crook, have any advantage over type theory in teaching mathematical foundations, and indeed have some notable drawbacks.
One of the features, that I know how to do in MongoDB quickly but not in Postgres, is creating permissions not on the the role level (user, admin, etc) but on the id level like users with unique id blah234 and blah546 can access this table/row. I can figure it out in sql with time but it is not a tradeoff worth taking in my certain situation. I always look for this feature when I see a baas/paas tool show up on hacker news.
It does not really test potential because a junior trained in Java has poor tools for flattening a list because idiomatic Java would not represent hierarchical data structure as a nested list. Idiomatic Java would use tree and node objects. Idiomatic Java also prefers arrays over lists for sequential data.

An experienced programmer might look at the problem and choose a better tool: a different language or call a service or rewrite the offending code that produces a nested list or any one of a dozen things that are not bashing away with the hammer of Java.

Was needing roof access to replace a controller or sensor last year and a 30-something manager had to unlock door & escort me. I mentioned was nice to have stairs & a door instead of ladder+hatch. Their response was it was a detriment, as employees were going out and smoking cigs so they had to lock it. As an aside, they said "luckily nobody smoked pot and jumped off the roof". I chuckled and waited for the punchline, but one never came.
There are also many people who are trying to modernize software development practices in the DoD (and the US government more generally).

The official US DoD policy is very pro the use of open source software. The DoD's official policy on open source software is "Clarifying Guidance Regarding Open Source Software (OSS)" (2009), available at: http://dodcio.defense.gov/Portals/0/Documents/FOSS/2009OSS.p...
That policy says:
"a. In almost all cases, OSS meets the definition of “commercial computer software” and shall be given appropriate statutory preference in accordance with 10 USC 2377...
There are positive aspects of OSS that should be considered when conducting market research on software for DoD use, such as:
(i) The continuous and broad peer-review enabled by publicly available source code supports software reliability and security efforts through the identification
and elimination of defects that might otherwise go unrecognized by a more limited core development team."
(Full disclosure: Dan Risacher is the point-of-contact and lead author of this policy, but I helped write the policy.)

There's also a "Military Open Source Software" (MIL-OSS) group, which is an informal group that discusses these things and works out solutions:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/mil-oss
http://mil-oss.org/

The claims that "Open Source is bad because anyone can put anything in it" is ridiculous. Anyone can edit proprietary software, too - just use a hex editor. The issue isn't whether it's technically possible to edit software (it always is), the issue is who has control over the supply chain. In both proprietary and open source software, there are only a limited number of people who have the privilege to determine what is accepted into the software. In addition, in almost all OSS you have a public record of who made what change (and what the change was), and everyone can see the result.

"We'd rather have someone to call" is completely legitimate. So, go hire someone. There are a lot of organizations who would be happy to take money in exchange for a person to call. It's how many companies make their living. This shift happened in the early 2000s.

To those so-called "IA" people who don't understand that open source software is a key aspect of software development today: welcome to the 21st century, perhaps you'd like to try living here.
SiaPulse.com has some very rough estimates.

The master branch client has a command 'siac renter prices' that will look at the network and estimate the costs. This feature hasn't been released yet because it's very recent.

My client is saying $0.50 to create a set of contracts (needs to be done once every six weeks), $0.60 per TB to download from the network, $1 / TB / Mo to store data on the network, and $0.30 per TB to upload to the network.

These prices include a redundancy of 3x in the upload and storage costs.

Long term I expect prices to not be more than about 2x what they are today, though it really depends on how the supply-demand mechanics play out. It's a fully open and competitive marketplace.

It conveys more than "don't judge a book by its cover." It is making the stronger point that not only are people who are unkempt in their appearance just as likely to be good at their job, they're more likely to be good at their job. He explains a model that this prediction falls out of: where there is competition between professionals and they can either get their status through expertise, superficial preening, or some combination thereof. Most people think those two traits go hand in hand but he's making the point that due to competition they might be anti-correlated.
Yeah but on a scale of "1 to Surgeon" how much creativity is really traded off in how someone dresses?

> I would venture to say there's no correlation between how someone looks and how someone performs.

I would argue that if someone looks the part, then they can be successful with a lower level of skill, and so they have less incentive to really be as good. My impression is that people generally, and doctors in particular, are quite lazy and generally aim to only be as good at a thing as they need to to get what they want, so the guy who looks the part is likely to be less competent.

There will be exceptions obviously, but I know that if I meet someone who puts a lot of effort into appearances, my presumption is not that he does this because he is incredibly hard working and just puts more energy into everything. In my experience that's not usually the explanation.

I think a better real world example than the hypothetical surgeons is seen in sports. Look at the first several players break the color barrier in Major League Baseball. Of course you have Jackie Robinson as the first. But among the next few after him were Ernie Banks and Willie Mays. There was a decent bet that if you saw a black ball player in the early to mid 1950s he was an all time great simply because they were the only ones who could overcome the racism that was keeping others out.

Huh? Quoting your comment exactly:

> "If I'm not allowed to say what I want to say, by being fired by my employer and blackballed from further employment, or by being downvoted to oblivion or filtered or shadowbanned by Ycombinator or Facebook or Reddit, or having my account cancelled at the web host provider I use, what good are my Constitutional rights of freedom of speech and religion? You may find this situation wonderful because you hate what I have to say, but I think everyone should find the trend alarming."

If a private employer decides to fire you because of something you said, that's not a violation of your First Amendment rights. Or are you trying to argue that the First Amendment should encompass more than government restrictions on speech? If so that's not clear from what you wrote - it sounds like you believe it already should protect that.

> "Maybe you really are arguing that freedom of speech and religion only grants someone the right to not being jailed when all they have left is to stand, homeless, on the street corner with a sign, shouting at passerby -- and then they'll be jailed for not having a permit, or something -- but I would have thought that the Constitution meant the First Amendment for more protection than that."

No one is argueing that. That's exactly what the First Amendment says (only pertains to government restrictions).
"Show HN" React DataGrid DataTable
I agree. I've long been a in favor a consumption tax such as FairTax, which gives everyone a "prebate" for taxes on the first $50,000 or so, to ensure it is still a progressive tax.

However, I don't think that would work in a theoretical "post labor" world where only 25% or less of the population is actually employed.
No, but the logic in the same. People closer to the bottom of social hierarchy are more prone to sexual assaults. Immigrants just occupied social niche that was previosly occupied by poorest locals.

There's nothing quite like it, but there are alternatives that may be better along different (mostly cultural) axis. If it's your desire to work for a big tech company, they have offices in Europe and elsewhere, it's not quite HQ, but it's an option, particularly given how challenging the visa situation is.
My only bit of experience working on a DoD-related project was a huge turn-off for me to do any more work in that space in the future because they were resistive about approving any open source software. The development mindset on the project was to re-implement everything (including some tricky algorithms we were using) because it was unreasonable to expect any timely approval, even if it's a feature from the current version of a library that was already approved for an older version. I don't see the reasoning with it, since if anything open source is more secure because you know exactly what is going on inside of it, compared to closed source which may be from a trusted source but you have no idea what it's really doing under the hood.

Hopefully this helps push things in the right direction, although I'm not optimistic.

@sama's terms are fairly equitable. I am a corporate lawyer with a substantial practice in startups and software (I also code in node, and used to work in LAMP and ANSI C way back in the day). I do a fair number of startup investment rounds.

These are reasonable terms. They don't bend over backwards for the company, they are not a land-grab by the investor. Are there 50 other ways from Sunday to also have equitable terms? Yes - every deal is different, which is why you need a lawyer, and depending on the context, different terms can be equitable. In general, though, this is pretty "content-neutral."

Note: I am not your lawyer. If you need a lawyer - get a lawyer. But yes, my handle is my actual name (so you can look me up to see that I am not just an armchair IANAL). As far as I know, I am the only lawyer named Liberty around.

My only rebuttal to this somewhat rambling piece is that my heart surgeon looked and acted very much like I expected a heart surgeon to look and act, and he did a great job. I found out later that he's one of the top-rated cardiac surgeons in the US, and that many cardiac surgeons come to this hospital just to study under him.

But in support of the thesis, this hospital is not located where one might expect one of the top three heart hospitals to be located.

There's a documented history of "just bigots" sitting around fuming, listening to a politician or local clergy disparage minorities, leading to violence against them.

There's a history of government, for political reasons, peddling that message to those very people. Watch Nixon's re-election ads.

Our own government is complicit in pushing these ideas. More so in the past, but the connection cannot be overlooked as to how these ideas have been peddled and then passed along, not at all dissimilar to how Islamic extremists are fed nonsense.

In many cases "just bigots" believed and planned to do things they thought were in the interests of their state, based upon misinformation peddled by the authoritarian structure they live under.

You're re-writing history.

The point is that most of these immigrants are poor, correspondingly prone to crime, and therefore not the sort of people you want to blast into your tiny population by the tens of thousands. Things are also confounded by the fact that most of these people are heavily theologically indoctrinated, making social integration and upward mobility effectively impossible, so they're going to stay poor.
