For consumer wares we are talking about an inspection, not a pentest whether or not they conform to basic security (SSL, update mechanism in place, salting and strongly hashing passwords).

This is a pentest. Whether you call it something else is irrelevant.

Moot because I specified earlier we are not talking about full pentesting. But even if not, first force EVERYONE to get it, drive up the prices, then people will start learning it and drive done the prices heavily and start to automate. Look at web developers. Once prized, now a dime a dozen (compared to before). Pentesting is no different from anything else, it can be tiered, the lower tiers more and more automated and pressed into frameworks.

This isn't true. Pentesting is fundamentally different from programming, in ways that are subtle and non-obvious. It's not something that can be automated, for the same reason you can't determine whether an arbitrary program will halt.

It's also called computer vision syndrome, and is pretty common. Everything you mentioned helps alleviate it. But I've noticed that my contact lenses sometimes seem to precipitate it; at other times, they're perfectly fine. After doing a bit of reading, a relatively new aspheric lens design (Biofinity Energys) might help with that. But I'd rather just wear my glasses while working than deal with monthlies.

I am not drawing any conclusions whatsoever. I am referring to an established literature of considerable volume. For a good popular take on all of this there is a big and very well cited section of Outliers by Malcom Gladwell that outlines all of this in a conversational manner. The problem is that you are pretending to be interested in this material without bothering to spend the effort to seek out and read existing findings.

If Hispanic people eating far more fruits and vegetables is a key detail as you suggest then why is it that Hispanic peoples in the US are so much more likely to be obese? You really would do yourself a favor by consulting some of the existing literature about this rather than leaning on oversimplifications or attacking me for having dared to refer to studies I have read that may be relevant to this material.

Want a movie or TV series to die? Set it in Canada. There is something about the American market that just doesn't react well. London or Paris, sure. But other than a few scifi backstories (Wolverine) Canada is never mentioned. I blame the accent. Vancouver sounds like LA and that creates a uncanny valley for the American ear. Audiences are unnerved when characters on TV don't match the stereotypes. It's discomforting, but we cannot all be from Canmore or Torono.

The death of Moore's Law will have as much to do with CFOs deciding that the investment isn't worth the return as it will with technological innovation. When Intel decided to layoff 12k last year, it seemed like the writing was on the wall. ITRS seemed to think so, anyway:

Going from Tick-Tock to Tick-Tock-Tweak... and this year to Tick-Tock-Tweak-Tuck the fourth year of 14nm (still as compact as other companies 10nm) makes the slowdown palpable. Perhaps they will manage a 2.7x shrink at their "10nm node" with or without EUV, but it's not the straight scaling of yesteryear.
It really depends on where you live. Our headquarters is in a low cost of living area, so 80-120 would be a reasonable guesstimate.

Folks who work in the DC Metro area probably make a good bit more than that.

I'm not actually involved in hiring, just recruiting and trying to find good engineer candidates.

As someone who has been shy his whole life, I'm becoming wary of these type of "shyness is a positive" and "introvert advantage" type articles (although to be clear, shyness and introversion are absolutely not the same thing).

Being shy sucks, and I'm sick of attempts to sugar coat it. No matter how many ideas I may come up with in deep episodes of thought on my own, if I'm unable or unwilling to share them and convince others of their merits, they're lost in the loneliness of my own mind.
I don't know anything about your market, but your plans seem awfully expensive and they're differentiated weirdly. I wouldn't choose to pay for a tool that would limit how much trend data I get based on how much I paid.

Reuters' story mentions that Apple would take a 20% stake while Foxconn would own 30%. With Toshiba keeping a stake as well [1].

> Will AI replace the pundit anytime soon?

Why not. You can go to any major news outlet, and expect a certain bias/comfort in their news, and a definite bias/comfort in their overall editorials or those of individual editorialists. Why, it's almost like they're programmed to reliably write under those biases.

We already have the beginnings of auto-written news articles. There was a system featured on HN a few years ago about weather news articles at, I think, the LA Times.

One reason some people stay logged out of Google is so their search results aren't colored by what Google thinks it knows about them. It's not that large a leap to systems reading all the opinion letters its owners receive, and maybe all the printed letters that other outlets receive, turn a knob or two and collect max-Laffer curve revenue, based on where it's set on the bias curve.

No, you can't. That isn't how security works. Your offensive adversary follows no rules. They exist to break any rules you can think of. You can make all the rules you want and you can test people on their knowledge of them. Hackers do not care.

On the defense side, they simply do not work. Everybody gets hacked. The best companies with the biggest security budgets employing people at the cutting edge of security research still get hacked. Security experts get hacked. If the best in the industry still haven't solved this problem, you can't even begin to make the framework that you're proposing.

The discipline cannot be described as experts dealing with interacting complex systems of rules.
Yeah, pretty much. osquery plus some gossip-based node communication layered on top. Unless osquery has that or something like it these days. It's been a while since I kicked the tires on it.
> The funny thing is, its the opposite for the low level stuff.

This was not my experience or the experience of people I know at all.

I imagine that it depends on which companies you work with, or what country you're in, but my experience was that low level skills often didn't give you very much in the way of extra job security, and certainly didn't save you from crunch, low pay (much lower than everywhere else in software), etc.

I don't think that's actually the point. Don't fret so much about it; that's actually the problem. Just do your thing, and be happy without the need to push your limits so hard that you might break yourself. People often ignore the "healthy" bit from the phrase "a bit of healthy competition". And that includes competing with yourself.

This isn't the issue I'm describing at all.

E.g. if I missed a bounds check, and access past the end of a `Foo[]`, it would be typed as `Foo` (and not `Foo | undefined`), but really be `undefined.

Consider this code.

var foos: Foo[] = [new Foo()];
foos[1].bar();

foos[1] will be undefined (since it's past the end of the array) but will typecheck as a Foo.

Obviously it's bad if I forget a bounds check, but it's similarly bad if I forgot a null check.

Of course, I understand why this issue exists, but it is an issue.
Considering many Olympic runners run 100+ mile weeks I disagree. I have also run on a division 1 cross country team as a walk-on and I saw friends push themselves to the point of passing out across the finish line. That being said weekend warriors often do push themselves very hard.
I think what I was getting at is that there are no chains that compare to the small pizza businesses in NYC. I prefer Domino's to Papa John's if we're comparing chains though.
I especially appreciate this when I visit REI as a Canadian. Our REI 'knock off' MEC (Mountain Equipment Coop) was inspired by REI, but in the last few years has diverged away from enthusiast mountain equipment and a lot more toward urban oriented fitness activities such as running, yoga and cycling.

I still like MEC, but I like how committed REI has been toward hiking, camping and more backcountry activities.

Xerox was an immensely profitable business once. Being first to market with photocopiers, and keeping a large market share for a long time.

In the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), they had the right team, the right ideas and research was absolutely going in the right direction.

For instance, they had former SRI International researchers that participated in the Douglas Engelbart's "oN-Line-System", presented in 1968 in what is now known as "the mother of all demos" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJDv-zdhzMY, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mother_of_All_Demos).

Their achievements include the creation of the excellent Xerox Alto computer system featuring a GUI and a mouse as input device, which inspired the Apple Macintosh and MS Windows (a story dramatized in multiple occasions, notably in the classic "Pirates of Silicon Valley").

Xerox leadership failed to visualize how innovations like the Alto could be converted into profitable products... even if it looks self-evident today. That's a once in a lifetime opportunity that they let go and as a result other companies heavily profited from PARC's findings and continue to do so today.

In addition, photocopiers are no longer at the center of business activities, and usage paper is decreasing. This makes Xerox a company of the past, like Kodak or Blockbuster (not trying to be offensive, but it is fair to say so).

I cofounded a social discovery company a while back, so have thought through similar issues.

Consider a dating site -- at the minimum, it must laboriously onboard a number of users at each location.

Your site faces a much more difficult challenge -- you not even need lots of users per location, but you also need them to be continually posting events. I encourage you to consider how to add value to users even when there is no constant stream of events (and perhaps even when there are few other local users).

Am surprised the article did not mention two genes that are known to link catecholamines (adrenaline et al) and ventricular tachycardia. One gene is for the cardiac ryanodine receptor, and the other is for the CAS2Q gene.

An obvious conclusion is that the threshold for exercise-induced VT is variable across individuals.

There are lots of other genes linked to sudden death during exercise. Examples: long QT genes, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy genes. It's not hard to understand why they are rare. :-)

I used to be very shy. My first boss out of college recognized this and went out of his way a few times to help me out. He more or less changed my life. I ended up going into management of all things in that company, so it paid off for the company too. Even if he was just being altruistic, his company profited from it.

Over the past decade, the memory market has been flooded with cheap chips, causing most players in this market to lose value while breaking even or making a slim profit on memory sales.

Hopefully, Apple is planning to single source or majority source their memory through Toshiba, and give them funds to develop more advanced memory on newer processes, as that is what this market needs to develop further and faster. Apple may extend their engineering talent into building their own memory controller perhaps, similar to how they have done a ton of in house design for the ARM SoCs used in the iPhone/iPad lineup, instead of using off the shelf ARM designs.
