IMO there's a difference between fake news and opionated news. Fake news is stories like Ted Cruz's father being involved in the assassination of John F. Kennedy. There's nothing factually true in the story itself. This is an article that reports true facts and tries to subvert them to serve an agenda. Almost all mainstream media outlets do this to varying degrees. But that doesn't make this article fake news. Clickbaity title and opionated reporting != fake news.

I second this.

This article just steered me more towards SF instead of Seattle because it answered a lot of my questions.
I have to fly today, from Canada to Europe. I probably shouldn't be reading stories like these before a flight, but I did, top to bottom, transfixed by the details. I hope I manage to make it through airport "security" without any problem. I'll smile, I'll cooperate. Hell, maybe I'll even step into the radiation machine for the first time in my life if I have to (I also always have opted out).

I hate how scary this whole thing is. I fear it's going to keep getting worse.
The most interesting problem they are trying to solve is the way this integrates with their addon partners. Typical CI you specify services like MongoDB, Redis, Postgres, etc. to be installed directly on the image that your tests are running. Heroku seems to be literally creating accounts with their partners, forcing them to spin up necessary resources, and then just churning the account as soon as the tests are done. Most Heroku partners offer a free tier assuming they can get a percentage to switch to the higher tiers, but this is going to increase usage of those free tiers by a very large amount and I don't see it converting well for the partner.

Edit (clarity): They didn't solve the problem yet, and are limiting the addons to just Heroku services (Postgres/Redis) until they figure out best way to handle with partners. I will be keeping a close eye, very curious what they land on.

Kind of amazed at the number of people railing against this study and only providing personal anecdotes in return.

Putting aside the dangers of that kind of thinking, it seems clear that a lot of people have become reasonably quite frustrated with real health symptoms they are experiencing. Feeling sick and being brushed off, regardless of the circumstances, must only make the situation harder to deal with.

For those who believe firmly that they've nailed down gluten as the cause, maybe it'd just be safer to just keep those beliefs to yourself and not risk a potentially flippant diagnosis of psychosomatic idiopathy.
Oh yes, I'm using a pkg shared between apps, didn't mean you should rewrite it each time, just that it can be much simpler than the linked pkg.

Degrees are much more valuable. You can only do it when you are 20 and it's for life!

First of all, the most value of a degree is to give you your first internships and first job. It's the hardest to find, try to do that on your own to understand your pain.

There are endless jobs that will require you to have a degree or will give you the priority because you have one:
defense company, Wall Street, any classic entreprisey.

Outside of SF/SV you don't get jobs by saying you've dropped out of high school cuz degrees are stupid cuz reddit said so.

>That seems pretty cyberpunk to me.

The problem is that it does not rain all the time and the ads are not in Japanese. The visual direction is simply off. Also the soundtrack leaves much to be desired. (Instead of Vangelis and Kenji Kawai, we have ... Gangnam Style?) It is not recognizable as cyberpunk.

Less in jest: much of the "cyberpunk" (at least for people like me) even when not talking about the genre of fiction but about the more general ethos or an idea ... was influenced by the presence of the certain set of fiction, especially visual medium (film, comics, the Japanese varieties anime, manga). And with fiction, you have aesthetics and narratives. Maybe an opportunity to entertain a kind of romanticism.

The real life lacks all that. Instead of neural implants, we have touchscreens that get dirty. The advent of artificial intelligence does not come with military grade AIs escaping into wild, followed by action involving tanks and deep philosophical discussions; the advent of AI means that we have very good image classifiers (and other machine learning systems that perform well in fairly restricted tasks such as speech recognition or Go), amazing opportunities for applying statistics to marketing, and bunch of geeks who have read too much Kurzweil writing decision theory papers in California. Instead of identifiable protagonists doing cool things while opposing identifiable antagonists of the story, we get n+1 people thinking they are the cool protagonists, in other words, Occupy and Wikileaks and Anonymous and alt-right.

[The same thing works in both directions of time, really. Cyberpunk science fiction liked the underground scene of punks" resisting the system. The historical fiction as a genre has always loved the idea of underground revolutionaries. (Think about Les Miserables.) And in reality it was much more boring and nasty and ambiguous, because no matter have much you try to be grim and realistic when writing fiction, in fiction even grim and gritty kinda still glitters.]
Security is expensive, why pay all that money when you're unlikely to get sued because you're too big to be sued with your army of lawyers.

Why do those policies make it there in the first place? Could you share some scenarios? I'd love to improve the managibility of policies :)

The hydra ( http://github.com/ory/hydra ) project for example has groups, which allow you to set e.g. an admin group and then assign people to it. I think this helps a lot with managing policies!
Sure, met one. He was coming from sales, and kept selling much more than teams could deliver. At one point that began to generate burn-outs and resignations, but he didn't even notice and change his goals. the issue was that most of the time he was charming, but if you were able to check the small details (as he never came to see the teams even to say good morning, unless he had something to ask or someone to blame), you'd quickly understand the risk of being in the team.
Sorry you have to go through that. Also, what radiation machine are you referring to? The millimeter wave scanner?

You have the wrong expectations. You're looking at what amounts to an enumeration of test cases for regression suites to run against.

Have a look at my comment (the first reply flagging this as possibly the result of confirmation bias). In what what does it sound to you like it could be the result of confirmation bias?

I really want to know your thinking on that. I try to actively attack such biases as best I can, but as I even mention in that comment, I understand that they affect us all. I'm just not seeing it here, though, so please tell me what you think I'm overlooking.
Yes (that's the fun part!) - I should have specified that I was just interested in getting an atomistic model of one of these tardigrade proteins to play around with in an MD simulation.
That would be interesting, but part of the complexity of this is that "healthy lifestyle" may be as much about fitting together with genetic factors as approaching some universal ideal. I think it would be really interesting (albeit unrealistic) if there were a baby exchange among various populations with high longevity in general or low CVD in particular, and see if there's any significant pattern.

Trump Adviser Peter Thiel's Palantir Technologies To Aid ICE In Immigration Raids Using Surveillance And Data Analysis
My guess is that the fundamental driving force is this. There are great masses of people in a country like India living in abject poverty. If you're smart and lucky enough to have opportunity, what you have in India, that you don't have in a country like the United States, is day-to-day contact with the wretchedly poor. This staring you in the face puts your choices into stark relief.

In the U.S., for example, a bright young lady with opportunities can rest assured that, no matter what she chooses to study, life has a good chance of turning out alright for her. Her family, friends, teachers, and so forth generally agree. However in India, for example, it's far more likely that a bright young lady with opportunities will be thoroughly encouraged -- some might even say pushed -- to pursue only the most remunerative and prestigious occupations. In plain language: "Do you want to end up in the gutter?"

I wonder if these are the social structures that make the most difference.
Man who 'sent flashing tweet to epileptic writer' arrested in Maryland
There are reasons for this. The community is no longer is a small upstart community, it represents the ruling class in our society, and people are literally terrified of how the tech sector is going to change their lives.

The most fundamental political and social issue of our entire generation is the rapidly accelerating rise in economic inequality. Huge swaths of our society feel, correctly, like they are being systematically excluded from even being able to participate in the culture they were born in.

They can't treat sick family members, they can't retire, they can't get jobs with paid time off and benefits. They, correctly, consider this community to be one of the forces causing these changes. Their lives are, literally, being disrupted.

Class resentment is arguably the most powerful force in politics and history, ever. It's the underpinning of ever major revolution and social upheaval. The YC founders are billionaires now. That matters.

Why can't we just keep eating cake, you say? Perhaps we should look out the window and past the gatehouse, as there are torches and pitchforks gathering.

> that they act against their own best economic interests?

If you consider just your own "best economic interest", a lot of "jobs" like drug dealing, prostitution, fraud etc. are good choices. Morals, not wanting to go to jail, and a concern for your own physical security are non-economic factors that make these bad choices in most people's view. Blackhat hacking falls pretty much in the same category; selling exploits may perhaps be technically legal, but I wouldn't bet my paycheck that you couldn't be put behind bars for aiding and abetting in a criminal offense or similar.

> This is published under our responsible disclosure policy

Honest question because I don't know what responsible disclosure protocols are -- is it considered responsible to report large vulnerabilities directly to the public when the company is too slow? Are there no intermediates? No security organizations or advocates, or even businesses in the vulnerability market, who can help to escalate an important issue without potentially making the situation worse temporarily?

I realize this might be a stupid question, and that I need to assume hackers are already ahead of the public, but my armchair security instincts are that real true harm could come from announcing unpatched vulnerabilities to the public, inviting otherwise lazy or opportunist hackers to jump in.

Only based on what I can see here, the timeline in the article is 6 weeks since discovery, and it went from reporting directly to the app maker, who did respond once, then straight to the public. It just seems like there are a metric ton of intermediate steps one could take before announcing publicly.

Do you believe the government entered his apartment? It seems at least somewhat likely. They see the sparse apartment and picture of some religious thing on the wall, and it freaks them out. They take the picture back to their office to figure out what the hell it is.

I'm not knowledgeable about this stuff, but it seems like they could have used a "sneak and peek" warrant, as authorized in the patriot act.

I kind of think this guy should look into a civil lawsuit against those agencies. Did they violate any of his constitutional rights? Not letting him get food / drink, threatening to hold his bag if he walked away? Was a search warrant attained and he was never given notice, even after the fact?

- how to close/minimize/maximize/open a window.

- right click, left click common outcomes

- enter a site URL

- Google use

- save files

- navegate through local files

Etc

Edit: I know "I have plans" is worth nothing, but I am unemployed right now and on a carreer change. Once I have better financial stability I plan to pursue this more effectively.

Definitely, for sure both jews and muslims. The "following instructions from female flight attendants" thing I would guess also isn't out of the blue... maybe the airline has had experience with people not following female flight attendant rules.
Innovation for the sake of innovation is a losing strategy. Everyone I know that's on the MBP line is perfectly ok for the next few years with the existing line.

Some middle eastern airlines have prayer rooms on their aircraft as well as indicators in the room so you know which direction Mecca is.
It almost always comes down to complexity.

The inclusion of boolean logic in the policies is the root cause.

Specifically, having not resources, or not principals and their interaction with the other policies in the account.

The second highest common cause is misunderstanding how the default deny works.

Again, not really an issue with the landon project, but more an observation on how added power (complexity) to access control systems can sometimes make things less secure.
That last discussion was a shit show of people one-upping each other in the oppression olympics. It seems like as soon as you compare one persons experience to being not as bad or worse than another persons the entire thread devolves into terrible accusations and comparisons.

In Australia McDonalds are still generally staffed by young teens, not immigrants, and often white. This is because there are lower minimum wages for minors (staggered by age).

I think this is a matter of costs (wages) and not much else.
Probably true 5 years ago. I believe now it isn't, mainly because JS is moving much faster (not always good, but many goodies in JS simply do not exist in Lua).
"Is there consensus on security bad/best practices when it comes to VMs and containers?"

Yes - it's called simplicity. Fewest moving parts possible. Limit attack surface to the smallest amount possible.

You can pursue this at every layer of the stack and at every layer of abstraction - it should be a primary design philosophy that informs every system you build.

> The idea that an AI could continually improve itself...

That's not that hard to imagine. AI-s are also limited by the laws of nature and they have limited capacity. Now if an AI wants to improve it needs more computational power which costs money in our world. So if an AI's goal is to improve itself, first it needs to make lots of money to keep its hardware running. If it can scale horizontally, then it's a simple order from Amazon to a rural farm.

Yes. Besides the uncertainty about the harmful effects of that radiation, there's also the issue of how they collect and pass around the naked images.

> At the same time, the U.S. is rapidly degenerating into something that isn't quite the sinister oppressive regime, but getting close to the point where it could become one, if a wrong leader gets elected. It's scary.

Seems prescient
That is a great question. @Alex3917 pretty much nailed it but I do have another example.

On April 7, 2014, CVE-2014-0160 aka Heartbleed was publicly disclosed. At the time, 66% of websites used OpenSSL (via Netcraft). Also, OpenSSL had 1 full-time engineer, and only a few volunteers. Yearly donations were about $2,000. 17 days after Heartbleed Jim Zemlin from the Linux Foundation as well as thirteen companies stepped up to the plate and created the Core Infrastructure Initiative and pledged to donate $100,000 a year for 3 years to help prevent the next Heartbleed.

The point is this, Open Source isn't free. Docker, GitLab and other 'open-core' businesses stand on the shoulder of giants. If they raise a round of fundraising or whatever Press Release hits the wire, they get praise (which is fine, I love it). But the only time a project like the OpenSSL project gets press is when something goes wrong which I don't think is fair to them.

We can keep being reactive or we can start being proactive. I believe YC has the capital and influence to change this thinking of Open Source doesn't cost anything.
Why not? Rights are like muscle. They atrophy without exercise.

Yes, I do believe that, because it's plausible, and because they asked him, when facing his apartment building, which side the parking lot is on. Which suggests that someone was there who could verify the answer.
A few days ago Smashing Magazine published this post on their transition: https://next.smashingmagazine.com/2017/03/a-little-surprise-...

Edit: The article points out that this is not just about switching to a CDN, but also about streamlining their publishing process:

In the past, we were using WordPress as a CMS, our job board was running on Ruby, and at one point we switched to Shopify from Magento for our online shop. Not only was maintenance of four separate platforms incredibly complicated, but designing a consistent, smashing experience the way we envisioned it proved to be nearly impossible due to technical restrictions or requirements imposed by these platforms.
This is accurate and the best option in my opinion
