rooting their phone is not something a security-conscious person would do, either.

Edit: maybe I should have explained my position. There are a few security issues with rooting a phone, e.g.:

- rooting usually requires unlocking the bootloader. Once it's unlocked, anyone can flash or boot a custom recovery and modify your system partition. Enrolling your own keys in the recovery and re-locking the bootloader, while possible, is an undocumented and complex process that just about nobody uses, see https://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/31765.html . You're also screwed if a system update replaces the recovery. Once the bootloader is unlocked, anyone with physical access to your phone can mess with your system in malicious ways.

- it circumvents the system's permission model. A malicious app that tricks the user into granting it root rights (maybe for a legitimate reason) could access information it shouldn't have, install a keylogger, etc.

ha, yeh United DOES NOT wait for its customers even if 90% of the customers boarding the flight miss the flight because they were delayed on another United flight and couldn't run fast enough to the new terminal gate that the United Employees on the late flight were not abler to provide to them. This has happened to me multiple times this year with them.

Unfortunately for me, alot of these flights are booked through companies I work for, leaving me few options, but I will expressing my preferences going forward, and not buying United personalyl ever again.

In my high school law and government class our teacher taught us that runof the mill cops rarely know the law. Also taught us that pointing out the law to the same cops was rarely going to lead to a satisfactory result. Also taught us to generally not let the cops into one's home and not speak to them without a lawyer (outside of you filling a police report).

What I though was going to be a useless required class ended up being quite educational.

The class was quite eye opening for somebody who just moved to this country 3 years prior.

If [like I do], you browse HN by the "new" section, you'll see this time after time after time after time...

I don't know what's to be done about it. HN don't seem to care and it seems like a huge number of visitors to the site just can't be bothered spending a few seconds to check whether or not a story has already been submitted, before adding their own noise to the signal.

From the website management point of view one difficulty is that; on the intarwebs in general, the vast majority of these stories originate from a single news agency or press release and are then mirrored across countless other 'news' sites. So, in effect the problem increases exponentially: one story source is republished across 20 different websites and then each of those 20 website articles is submitted to HN by 20 different people.

Let's explore this from the information security perspective, since that is my thing. If I had performed this research against Lyft and knew about these "information disclosure" issues I would have felt they were significant enough for disclosure to see them remediated.

Why? Sweeping privacy concerns. In a world where most people have an Uber or a Lyft app installed security issues like this become spy machines. So it isn't just drivers that lose their privacy, in the long run it touches on everyone's privacy, because location data is notoriously hard to anonymize and machine learning is only getting better. So there is the first ethical argument against this behavior that pops to mind.

This is very valuable. My overall impression is that many people tend to be maximally risk-averse, regardless of scope. For example, rejecting a course of action due to fixating on a single unlikely thing that could go wrong. Rather than holding out for a choice that comes with no anxiety, I believe it's better to work on not being anxious.
I have decided that location data is PII. It is notoriously hard to anonymize. I have conducted some experiments with customers and even with a a relatively few samples it was possibl to merge address databases and "anonymous" location with ease. Right now there is a data classification fiction in most corporations that location days is not PII because it lets them do all sorts of analytics. I predict this fiction is going to get so excited organization in trouble and not just an Uber being so blatant about it.

I think the technology would be better put to use on something other than the Apple Watch, unless an equivalent sensor minus Apple's other contributions also somehow starts at $350. You're conflating the sensor with an overpriced and rather useless piece of technology, which I say as the owner of one. I'm in full support of a non-invasive sensor for diabetics, but if we manage to come up with one, I would be against giving it an Apple price tag.

For the CVE points, I'd expect enforcement to be difficult. Might also create perverse incentives, like if you neglect to patch, it might be better to never patch in the hopes no-one notices, since patching late would draw attention to your not having done so promptly and result in fines.

As for the automatic updates, personally, I view the vendor as the biggest threat. I'd prefer they didn't have any access to my gear. Which is one reason, in addition to just never having seen anything useful, I don't have "smart" appliances.
What a lack of professionalism.

The customer even paid premium price to be in first class and instead of being notified at the gate, like any respectable airline would do, he's asked to give his seat to somebody "more important" than him when already seated.

It doesn't make any sense, if that "more important person" came later, he should be the one getting compensated by the airline especially when the problem occurred because United needed to change the plane for a smaller one.

You don't kick customer, you compensate them.

I flew Asiana a loooong time ago. Still remember that flight and the fact I took it on Asiana.

I was in economy and it was short flight but I got free tea anyway. Which is nice, because most airlines don't offer even water. But the best part was that it was poured from super nice decorated tea pot. Like "put it on display in living room" nice. 10/10, would fly Asiana again.

Implying that skillfully faciliating and organizing other's labour isn't work? Well, early on, soviet government and their 1918 predeccessors thought the same. They ended up with a lot of 'liberated' workers and farmers, and no managers and business owners.

For next time: if you don't know how something works (in this case, how linux is developed and by whom), ask! It's better than assuming and jumping to conclusions.

Most linux developers are paid to develop linux. Based on Jonatan Corbets stats less than 15% of the changes could possibly be from volunteers. More than 1200 developers affiliated with ~200 companies contributed to the last release alone. There are nuances here (some developers might not be full time _kernel_ developers) but the argument that linux development isn't professional and mostly paid work has been invalid for years.

I have a guess on that. I've not been able to find any research on whether it is correct or not. (Clarification: it is whether or not the age difference in brain development could affect interests in technology, not the existence of the difference, that I have not found any research on).

One of the things that happens when a human brain matures from a child's brain to an adult's brain is that it undergoes significant reorganization. It prunes a lot of old connections and starts focusing on more important adult things.

In girls this reorganization starts at age 10-12. In boys it starts at 15-20.

My guess is that it is easier for a brain that is still in child mode to develop and maintain an interest in technology. But it isn't until high school that you start to get the education that lets you really move beyond just an interest in tech as a user to a serious interest in going into tech as a career. I think it may be that getting that high school education while you still have a mostly child's brain greatly increases the chances you'll go into technology.

In the US you typically start high school at 14 or 15. That means that in high school most girls will already be well on their way to adult brains, but a lot of boys will still have child brains or be early in the transition to their adult brains. That could greatly skew things toward boys going into technology.
Another aspect was the community surrounding Ubuntu. If you asked a really 'dumb' newbie question on the Debian mailing lists chance are you'd get a lot of condescension and RTFMs and probably not so many useful answers. Ask the same question on the Ubuntu forums and the chances where much better that you'd get a clear simple answer that actually solved the problem you where having.

Except two of those numbers are off by three orders of magnitude. Caffeine's LD50 is 150-200 milligram/kg, Glyphosate is at 2-5.6g/kg (in rats). These numbers are completely meaningless, though, because LD50 is not the correct measure of toxicity unless you plan on drinking the stuff. The concerns are about the effects of pesticides on the body, not literally dying from the poisonous effects of pesticide. Salt is at around 3g/kg.
The rates in Hong Kong with Stripe for non-hong Kong issued cards is 3.9% + 2% conversion fee if you don't charge in HKD. Additionally they're unable to deposit into a US denominated bank account.

With 4+ million USD yearly volume, the only discount I could get would be 1% off the conversion fee to start.
