Become a Robot service engineer...oh wait that's what I already am! Sorted.

Edit: I am not an actual robot service engineer except in so far as all devs service automated systems.
Bypass encryption means they broke the protocol. They could say "also malware can read your private messages and anything else on your phone". But no, bypassing encryption sounds a lot better. Fake news.
The UC system gets over $2B from CA, and I'm not sure, but certainly hundreds of millions from the federal government.
In any situation where illegal parking blocks an exit, it is possible to get the car towed. My experience is that the police become very prompt about repeat tow requests. I realize I'm quibbling about the analogy, but there is a big difference between blocking a garage and sitting in a curbspace for too long, and these large companies are only doing the latter.
Why wouldn't he suddenly be? Because he exposed the corruption of the party you supported? It doesn't work that way really. Either he is reliable, or not reliable to begin with. I have every reason believe he is, and he has demonstrated that people turn a blind eye on things if it fits their narrative of the world and politics.
Doubtful. Part of being an undercover operative means deniability. Imagine if a foreign power arrested a suspected spy, and found non-standard software on their phone.

So they'd probably use off the shelf software and mitigate risks in other ways.

(Ex: not bringing smartphones to sensitive meetings)
People can be on the same page but still have a debate about the extent of the situation. They could agree on man made climate change while believing it's not a doomsday scenario. The extent is important because that's how you set sensible policies. If it's really not doomsday than the policies you might advocate for would be ridiculous. If it is a doomsday scenario then the lack of policies one of the skeptics you spoke with would be ridiculous.
Stranger is that they feel like they need to open a "hidden" browser instance to connect to the internet. A browser isn't really a necessary part of establishing a connection -- unless there's some missing context here. Is my grandmother running the CIA data ops division?

Edit: it's been made clear to me that of course this is one of few viable vectors when approaching outbound network with a really restrictive firewall (like Little Snitch). If a browser is already approved on making a given connection, then using a headless instance to do network talking is a smart way to do it. If you roll your own net code, a tool like LS will notify user and/or block. Dumb me!
Anecdote: I had a friend in college. Visually impaired - tunnel vision and a degrading retina. Takes him a good few seconds to locate things on familiar UI. New UI is hell. I know because I was by his side all through college.

Your comment makes it look as if you never worked with someone who suffers due to needless design changes.
Many things are patched in theory but not in practice. For example, exploits on Android are very useful even if they are patched because lots of people don't upgrade their smartphones very often.
I use Firefox 29 for most of my profiles. Because I have a very specific workflow with add-ons, that runs circles around any Chrome user.

It's also more secure, because of my external sandboxing.

I also have my own container mechanism for Firefox that I have been using for years.

And this is what the web is all about. It used to be that the web was accessible to people in remote parts of the world, using old hardware, and anyone could write and add to it.

Now it's quickly becoming a black box that only wealthy people can access.
Close captions for video are widely available. Try harder.
Right but wasn't that advice basically the state of the field at the time? That we know different now doesn't mean the scientists then should have acted on information unavailable to them.
I think the problem is that there's often a lot of risk with changing one's mind and not all that much benefit.

How much does being right really help one in their day-to-day life? And there are many ways it could hurt them.
> Mitt Romney won just 17% of the non-white vote.

(1) In the 2012 presidential race between a white and a black candidate, most white people voted for the white candidate, and most black people voted for the black candidate. I'm not sure what generalizations you can make about that.

(2) In any case, you've chosen a very poor number. Jill Stein won 1% of the non-white vote in 2016, but I hardly think that makes the Green party racist.

The question is whether there will be a Big Rip type of event, where jobs are being automated faster than most people can retrain.
Build a mobile app. An app I built a few years ago is still making money on auto pilot. If you rank high on the App store you will get a steady stream of downloads.

Build a website. Because of SEO traffic this can be pretty passive. I have a few websites that are making income that I stopped working on years ago.

Invest. Investing is a great way for passive income you can look for dividend stocks, REITs or just plain real estate. Take a look at some options here https://senzu.io/investing/compare

For actively making money you can try to do contract work in your free time
It worked for me in languages other than Japanese. Might be a language-specific problem.
Even if you are worried about them it still does not mean that you have been compromised. And if you do worry about them: don't use your phone (or any computer, for that matter) for sensitive stuff.

There was no bypass of encryption.
The US Navy's DSRV's you referenced do not have cylindrical pressure vessels. The cylindrical external hull encloses 3 linked spheres that are the actual pressure vessel. BTW, the DSRV's were retired several years ago.
I haven't created a programming language per se, but I created https://mypost.io/ which is a bit more advanced than most single webpage creation platforms, as it allows HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. With that--I basically added hundreds of lines of code to accept BBCode. From random strings and names to advanced mathematical equations and formulas. I mean, I didn't write the scripts per se, as I'm using javascript code, available on the Internet, but I did write the BBCode that makes them all easier to write out and publish on the website. For the math, however, I'm still writing up the documentation.
A monitor maybe? Not that they make that big ones... maybe buy a big panel, build a frame or mount it inside the wall.

MEASURING AND MANAGING PERFORMANCE IN ORGANIZATIONS by Robert D. Austin

Austin, who is now on the faculty of Harvard Business School, wrote this seminal book on measurement dysfunction and how incentives in the information age drive misbehavior while he was an IT executive with Ford Motor Co. Europe. This very readable book was derived from his dissertation in operations research at CMU. It completely changed my world view, and continues to do so.
I'm curious about your decision to use a chat interface. Given that the primary purpose is to provide insights and explanation, it seems a traditional UI presentation would be superior -- my sense is that a chat UI is best for two-way communication, as opposed to one party presenting great insights and the other just acknowledging, but presumably you guys have considered other pros/cons.
Cool but why doesn't he get a last name. I don't actually know who it is.
And it's still a static web site, so you're only "screwed" in terms of updates. And if you can't wait for Lambda to be restored, either run the script locally or manually hot-fix those static HTML files.
I built a DSL for creating easy to build tests for a frequently updated enterprise web application. Selenium and it's counterparts, while very powerful were entirely too much to take on for many people and the vendor's testing was kind of a joke.

What my DSL did was translate a lot of language into terminology that made more sense to people in that space, and wrapped frequently used combinations of functions together. I.e. if we wanted to test if an element was present in the navigation bar, we wouldn't have to find the navigation bar slideout toggle switch, validate that it was open or open it, ensure that the navbar was populated, then use an xpath query to determine whether it was present, we could just declare a simple one line test.

I had no experience with building DSLs (Domain Specific Languages) previously, no experience building an IDE, and no experience with creating or parsing syntax trees. I just knew that there was a problem and it needed to be solved.

What was conceptually very simple turned complex quickly as I ferreted out the long term goals and researched how I could build something that I could responsibly transition to people less willing to hack their way through things.

I could have built an API rather than a whole new language, but I had compelling reasons not to go that route.

Did it catch on? Yes, and no. It's been 4 or 5 years since I released it to a customer and it's still being actively used. The entire target market was less than 3000 customers, so it was never going to be a household name.

I have to say it was one of the more eye opening projects that I have taken on. The growth experience was infinitely valuable, and like all lower-level things it provided great perspective that can be useful on a variety of projects.
In that case it is pointless to speculate, a future like that will be so unlike our present that speculation is roughly where science fiction is.
There seems to be some people in the IDE team who believe that a 32-bits only IDE is a feature and not a bug, including for reasons as fun as because it crashes sooner in case of memory leaks...
I guess eventually those people will move to other things and/or the market pressure will be such that we will see a 64-bits IDE. Just don't know exactly when...
this is a great site :D
Audio Commentary by Howard Zinn and Noam Chomsky for the Fellowship of the Ring
I see it in the menu on top right, and on android share dialog. Always worked in general, though with frustratingly long delays at times.
In general, I expect that most people would find actions that are (in their eyes) most directly tied to inconveniencing others, putting them at risk, etc. are different. I suppose all laws are theoretically about reducing actions that are viewed as harmful to individuals or society as a whole. But clearly some have a more direct linkage to others.

I doubt many people would think feeding a parking meter (which is not allowed in a lot of places) is "wrong" in any material way even though you can get fined for it. Taking a handicapped space, blocking a bus stop, or parking in front of a fire hydrant, on the other hand, would be widely considered as icky behaviors totally irrespective of any difference in fines.
> Makes the conspiracy theories regarding journalist Michael Hastings' death in 2013 seem more plausible.

Not really. The possibility of taking over unmodified cars remotely was not very widely known at the time. An organization that knew about that and had the technology to actually do so would not want to use it except on high value targets that they could not reach by more conventional means, because they would want to keep this capability under the radar of potential targets for as long as possible.

Due to the nature of his work Hastings would have been easy to take out by conventional means. He was an investigative reporter. It would be easy to feed him a lead on some story, like some important political person having a connection to a drug gang, and set up a meeting in a sketchy part of town with someone who says they want to give him confidential information about that. There would be nothing suspicious about that, and it would be easy to arrange for this fake meeting to go bad and end up with Hastings dead.

This would look like a sad but not totally unexpected way for a bold, risk taking, investigative reporter to die, and there would be not even a hint of a connection to any government agency.

If his car did not have remote vulnerabilities, and so any takeover involved modifying the car, then killing him by car takeover is even more absurd. It runs the risk of the modifications being discovered between the time they are installed and the time they are used (what if he takes his car in for service and the mechanic finds them?), and if used in a place where the agency doing the assassination does not have control of the scene afterwards risks the mods being discovered in the wreckage.
We just had a person on this very page argue that homeopathy shouldn't be equated with junk science. You think double-blind studies are going to make a lick of difference to poachers, or their customers?
Pricing based on value provided to the customer makes a lot of sense for phones and web apps and cheetos.

But how much do you value being alive? The "value" of a lifesaving drug is essentially unbounded, most people will pay anything to stay alive. That's one of the reasons healthcare is an edge case where the typical rules of capitalism don't work.

So yes, it is unfair to have some industries price their products based on "value".
Startups do not necessarily, specifically need "a Greg." Startups need "at least one person who provides the force of will to make the startup happen", and Greg is an instance of such a person.

As long as you believe you can find such force of will within yourself, you too can be a little bit like Greg.

But beware: there is only one Greg. Don't try to be Greg, because you are you and will never be Greg. Instead, follow in Greg's example. Learn from Greg.

Find the force of will inside you. Practice your communication and empathy skills. And prepare to work your butt off. In other words, be a little like Greg. And maybe you'll find success in the startup world.
Hey, I'm a co-founder of Penny:

Our biggest differentiators: more focus on automation and friendliness. The major pain point we discovered is that average people find finances intimidating and difficult to track. We wanted to take as much of it off of people's hands as possible as well as doing everything we can to make the experience as friendly and engaging as possible. That goes a long way to making something that people feel comfortable using. We think Mint is a powerful tool with a much steeper learning curve, and we wanted to build something that anybody can use.
I have been using Penny since the second launch on Show HN and have been absolutely loving it. Hands down solves the number one problem I have with Mint, et al which is an overload of information. The screen with all my purchases auto-categorized (not always right but close enough) is fantastic and I depend on it.

The simple chat options are exactly what I want to know and only a few clicks away.

The gifs are also super appreciated. I really like the comedy thrown into a usually boring topic.

Just started getting the premium push in-app and I wondered when it was going to happen. I don't mind it since obviously the lights need to stay on but I am not sure sub-categories is compelling enough for me since it kind of ruins the simplicity I love so much. More data isn't necessarily what I am after here.

Otherwise, huge kudos. Love Penny.
It looks pretty great - I'll definitely try it out when I have a chance!

I noticed that you mentioned the performance penalty using a file - how severe was the penalty for it?

Also, you mention that you used a single SATA disk to compare. What kind of disk was it? (SSD, HDD, other..?)

Very nice! It doesn't show up in HN but they've even gone out of their way to bold the relevant bits.

From the FAQ:

> Penny supports over 15,000 banks in the United States, so if your bank is in the U.S., she can probably connect to it. She can even connect to your Venmo or PayPal account!

> Penny never stores your bank login information. After she first establishes the connection to your bank, she gets a separate, secret access code to retrieve your transactions from your bank. That way, she can access your transactions without ever needing your bank account credentials again.

Do 15,000 banks in the USA really have an external API with API keys? That's pretty amazing.

From poking around the site looks like they're using Plaid (https://plaid.com/). Now that's seriously cool stuff to normalize!

While I like the idea of allowing people to track their finances better, I don't get how a company like this gets funded without a clear monetization strategy. I'm sure they've got some ideas internally and were probably included in their pitches, but I don't immediately see what it would be. Maybe get individuals to pony up $X/mo for the service? I doubt they would. People are cheapskates ... particularly so when the market is people that want to reign in their spending.
There are two types of people: people who believe the first thing they hear and people that believe the last person they hear.

The second are more unpredictable.
While I completely and I think I understand why, could you expand on this? If I did I would probably not be as accurate as you.
This is what I have really been looking forward to. I theorycrafted a more ideal system for the genetics work a former employer was doing, but didn't get to build it until after I had left there. A quad 16 core opteron system for a total of 64 cores (for physics calculations in comsol). I think that there is more potential use for high actual core count servers than many people realize, so I can't wait to build one. (for my purposes these days is as an game server in a colo, one of my projects is a multiplayer UE4 game)

At the previous job where I built the 64-core system, I even emailed the AMD marketing department to see if we could do some PR campaign together, but I think it was too soon before the Naples drop, because I never got a response. Here's to hoping supermicro does a 4 cpu board for this... 124 cores would be amazing. (But I'll take 64 naples cores as long as it gets rid of the bugs and issues I found with the opterons).
Thanks :) Just something fun for family, and friends.
Scientists will absolutely tell you what they believe to be true based on the available evidence and we colloquially call those facts. So it's both true of science as an abstraction and working science.
> For example, one of such myths is that humans are genetically predefined and can't be changed through life.

I don't think you should be calling what continues to be the subject of heavy debate a myth.
If you're really Brazilian/in Brazil, you don't really wonder. You just know the answer: all those bank sites will tell you to use Chrome instead.

I'm legitimately scared by this question. What bot knows how to take a design and implement it in software?
Change my business cards to say "artisanal codesmith" and go looking for employers who value the wabi-sabi of code with genuine organic bugs. [edit - spelling, or were they genuine organic errors?]
I think this is the future of web publishing. I expect that we'll see several such frameworks for all the major "serverless" platforms.
Cogito ergo sum res cogitans. Descartes though only one thing is certain: that you can reason, hence that you are a reasoning thing. Not so fast, Descartes.
I use and like Vultr. Host reboots are common though.

As an aside; what does Vultr stand for? Is it "vulture"?
Congratulations on your launch! My startup also aims to help people improve their finances but from a different angle (a financial wellness platform for 401(k) advisors to use with their participants) so I very much appreciate your efforts to help people get on track with their finances.

I wonder if you can share any insights as to how effective you are changing people's spending habits after they start using your app?
Are you running a 64-bit build of Firefox, by any chance?
What's the difference? Please elaborate. As I see it, there are only a few citizens who benefitted-- those involved in the ownership of taxi companies & medallions.
Not really, this is the position middle america finds itself in. Different population groups retrain at different speeds.
Assange may have said that, but Podesta was hacked by a sloppy organization that used Bitly to attempt a hack on thousands of other accounts worldwide.

Assange has no reason to implicate Russia. It would also be very, very easy to give a disgruntled insider the email trove or help them stumble upon it.

So true. There's numerous studies that show we're programmed to just trust those in uniforms, especially lab coats. And given how often science turns out to be wrong, or that we can rarely even reproduce studies and results, you'd think we'd welcome more challenges to what's reported by way of science.
Because they are too busy reporting "not fake news" such as: "Alec Baldwin says he might give up his Trump impression on 'SNL'". If you get your news from CNN, you're brainwashed.
Can you provide some evidence? Links to articles?
this is like the second law of thermodynamics as applied to warfare...

It's also along the lines of Sun Tzu-esque deception.

I suppose the modern example are the constant probing of air defenses by the attacker (i.e. the US and its array of electronic warfare suites), and the game theoretic calculation by the defender on whether to turn on their radars or not...
I mean they could just write some net code that sends packets to whatever port, but launching IE and doing everything over HTTPS or whatever is much more stealthy when it comes to network monitoring and system logs.
Google transalte has bacame really good. I didn't notice it was a translation until looking at the domain.

[Edit] Now, I have re-read looking for mistakes, it's obvious it's a translation. Still, it can rank as a weird english dialect written in a hurry.
This article mentions sustainability. What about all of the compute power and energy required to run one of the most inefficient designs ever?
