I suppose the issue that I have with that Tweet is - exactly what is its purpose - I don't think it poses a risk, but the tone - excited?, self-important? doesn't sit well with the idea of a professional security bod soberly reporting a serious problem.

I just think the tone rubbed people up the wrong way.

i think tavis's tweet is completely fine. even if someone managed to work out the general location of the code from the tweet [tavis has been looking at AV and Natalie does research on scripting VMs -- a big stretch] then its still an enormous effort to find the problem code and further effort to create an exploit. i doubt it would be possible to do by the time microsoft patched it.

but as a researcher you to have to be careful with details sometimes. i've been able to reverse engineer java exploits from security explorations full disclosure posts in the past but these contained significantly more details than tavis's tweet.
It's not that the bad guys will find it now by looking for it in Windows. It's more like they could grab a gun (thugs) or creatively worded court order (government) and pay him a visit...

A remote zero day in Windows is worth millions on the black market, and in skilled hands the amount of damage or money you can make is nearly limitless.
I think it makes sense to abolish programs like the MID or first home buyer assistance that largely just increase home prices.

But it would certainly suck to take out a loan on a home now and be told next year that not only is the MID gone, but your home is less valuable now and you effectively just surrendered a chunk of your deposit.

Maybe phasing it out over by 10% a year over a decade would be realistic, but would still run into the realtor lobby.

Last month, the true cost of Unroll.me was revealed: The service is owned by the market-research firm Slice Intelligence, and according to a report in The Times, while Unroll.me is cleaning up users’ inboxes, it’s also rifling through their trash. When Slice found digital ride receipts from Lyft in some users’ accounts, it sold the anonymized data off to Lyft’s ride-hailing rival, Uber.
JWT docs aren't accurate. Also why not just store JWT in the cookie? It's pretty trivial to use JWT in a cookie and do a sliding refresh on server side when its close to expiring. You can use JWT this way with zero code on the client.

Same with the "Random Token". You can easily just shove a secure random ID in a session cookie and use it. Doesn't pretty much every framework support this?

This docs is... not accurate for most of these.

I think the problem is that pushing the anti-censorship angle lets more people avoid censorship today, whereas government censoring of IPFS is a problem for the future. And compromising on the present for fear of a future problem that may or may not actually happen, is a typical consequentialist trap that deontology is essentially designed to fix.
I can attest to your recommendation. Europa Universalis, Crusader Kings, Hearts of Iron, Stellaris, and Victoria are their primary grand strategy series these days. Each one of them specializes on a different time period, either in the past or future. They all have a considerable amount of depth, but after a few hours of playing around and accepting a few losses, they're a great step up for people with experience with strategy games.

Power delivery is great, but the terrible error in USB Type C has come in their adoption of the IETF's dictum that one should be liberal in what one accepts and strict in what one generates.

What this means is that the consumer has no idea if their cable will "work". If you plug a slow cable between two Type-C devices that support thunderbolt, data will still flow, perhaps at USB 2 speeds. Power may only trickle through a cable between a powerful power supply and a laptop that needs it (A good outcome, in that it reduces fire, but still...). That video device may never connect even though it's plugged in. Etc

They should have put some shape or color or other coding requirement on the cable overmoulds and outlets. At least in the old days you could mostly tell visually and geometrically if you had the right data cable.
> consider UK paying for its own drug research

Because the UK is single-payer, they have enormous negotiating power -- and they use it[1]. They force drug companies to give them low prices, which means the US indirectly pays some of the costs of the research.

However, drugs can be very profitable, so you could just as easily say that all the countries share the cost of the research, and the US subsidizes the profits of the private companies.

Yup. Whistleblowers are severely disadvantaged.

The Theranos whistleblower has had to endure about 400k in legal fees.

I also recall reading a story about two police officers (can't remember the city) who tried to reveal corruption in their department, only to be vilified by superiors/fellow officers, have their career trajectory torpedoed, and see people who treated them like garbage eventually elevated in various forms of government.

And of course, there's Snowden who basically had to flee the country to reveal his findings, lest he suffer the consequences of prosecutorial abuse of the Espionage Act in the United States.

Scarce resources are kidneys. There are not enough of them to go around. Not all people that need kidneys will get them in any time frame. They are also rationed - you get one kidney transplant and that's it.

On the other hand the people that need lets say hip replacement will get it. The system have enough capacity and budget to serve their medical needs. But it works better if the people are properly spaced.
And yet, thousands of people who started using the cards have increased their savings more than they would have otherwise. Yes a credit union is preferable, but the point is that this demographic of people wasn't using them (or regular banks) and that these cards have encouraged better behavior through a new psychological angle. If the net result is positive, I wouldn't get hung up on the fees.
Hosting in IIS with .NET Core is no different than before, it all works the same. Only difference is that IIS won't be running the code but just acting as a simple proxy so you turn off the "Managed Code" setting in the application pool for that site. Than just web-deploy like before and everything works.

All those other settings are settings that were there before.
Ableton Live is my main daw. I use it every day, generally for hours, and for a wide variety of purposes.

The most depressing thing about ableton is made obvious in two seconds of messing with that tutorial. A complete disregard for music in the sense of pushing boundaries of time, or doing things that are not tied to any sort of grid, and the sense of music as an emotive form.

So many aspects of music are very annoying or borderline impossible to do in ableton. Yet in all these years, and with so many installations, they just never addressed those issues. Instead they vaguely pretend as if music that would require features they don't have is radically experimental. Which might become true if so many people learn music only through using their software.

Seriously, Ableton. Stop pretending making music is clicking on and off in little boxes. It's embarrassing.

Edited to take out the "art" part and put in a couple of more specific criticisms.
Hiring Talented People
I'd maybe disagree that there is "no security gain from tweeting about this". I think there is a security gain from warning people that an urgent security patch is on the way so they should prepare themselves/their organisation to deploy the patch as soon as it lands.

Now you could argue that a personal twitter account is not the best medium for this warning (maybe it should come directly from Google Project Zero or Microsoft), but Tavis does have a large sphere of influence, and I invariably hear about these things through him than via other sources so it is an effective medium.

Edit: Note, the argument here is whether his initial tweet (https://twitter.com/taviso/status/860679110728622080) constitutes disclosure - I don't think it does. The actual disclosure was handled according to Google Project Zero's policies.
One could argue that the basics involve putting sounds together in the simplest way possible - something like this. And that it takes far more work and skill to get to the advanced, low level stuff like writing on staff paper (and on the production side, compression, EQ, mastering, etc.).

To put it another way: Is learning x86 assembly the "basics of computer programming"?

> I believed this until very recently. I had a long discussion on Facebook with some friends in medical research and public policy. I learned that only a fraction of drug costs are due to this issue.

Literally 50% of medical research in the world happens in the US, and even more is funded (indirectly) by the US market. In the last two years, that number has dropped slightly below 50%, but only because of rapid growth in China and India.

This is all medical research, not just pharmaceutical research. But yes, it is actually responsible for the bulk of drug prices in the US, through a combination of both direct and indirect effects. Even pharmaceutical companies based in Europe still use the US as the primary source of funding their research.

Pharmaceutical companies reap their profits from the US because that's where it's easiest to do so, and because the US is the largest non-developing country. If, overnight, the US capped drug costs[0], a combination of two things would happen: pharmaceutical research would drop dramatically (some would move to China and India, but some would just exit the industry) and drug costs in other developing countries would skyrocket.

Or in other words, for the US to pay less in drug costs, other developed countries have to be ready to pay more, and the world has to be ready to accept a decrease in medical research.

> Furthermore, slightly less than 10% of all health-care spending in the US is on drugs.

That doesn't contradict the original point; that's just looking at a different denominator. And again, this is all medical research, not just pharmaceuticals.

> I miss the barrel connectors of the old days. They came in far fewer varieties than these silly USB connectors.

Perhaps, but there was no standard either, so that two identical barrel connectors could have opposite polarity and different voltage and power levels. You had to keep track of which brick went with which device. DIN connectors were worse.

> And the USB connectors break if you smack the cable by accident.

Those barrel connectors are longer and so provide even more leverage..

For example, BitTorrent probably advertises itself as a peer-to-peer data distribution protocol, but not as a way to get pirated content. But you and I know through some other way that you can install a BT client and get pirated content, right?

Changing Tor to explicitly say "human rights" makes it a red flag in oppressive countries where they may claim these words mean "Western propaganda!". Previously anyone caught with Tor can say they're a network researcher or whatever, now anyone caught with them can be charged with "spreading Western propaganda".

Just like if a torrent client would advertise themselves as a way to get pirated content. Anyone caught with the software can probably be easily convicted of copyright infringement, because they actually have software that advertises itself as copyright infringement software.

Ask HN: Why do startups use fake client testimonials?
How come this trend is so widespread in the startup community. Do people not realise that it makes them look unprofessional when they clearly use a stock photo, and some fake reviews to boost their credibility.
The ones I'm referring to are the small oval pictures, that service/product offering startups are so fond of using. There are usually a few client testimonials that are obviously fake.

Much less desirable.
It continues to surprise me how far ahead of them Apple is letting Amazon/Google get in this area. I've always been a big fan of Apple (despite their closed ecosystem), but have to admit that Amazon is seriously outplaying them on this front. Hopefully Apple surprises me and comes up with something even more innovative that can compete.

"Drug prices are high in the US because the US is responsible for funding the the majority of medical and pharmaceutical research for the entire world."

A statement entirely unsupported by data. If pharmaceutical companies spent on R&D only the money earned due the inflation of US prices, they'd still have plenty left over: http://healthaffairs.org/blog/2017/03/07/rd-costs-for-pharma...

You could just as well say the US funds the majority of drug advertising for the entire world - they spend more on ads than R&D: http://www.bbc.com/news/business-28212223

Not to mention everything from vital new medicine, to reproducing generics of other companies, and drug reformulations to prolong patents, gets thrown under R&D. If you only count the R&D spending that's not done solely to steal market share from other companies, the ads vs. R&D ratio is even more dire.

So given they post more profits and more ad spending each than R&D spending, at what point would it be okay to stop raising drug prices? When profits are >10x their R&D?
Is it technical? There is a reason the US is unique in the world in both its unsocialized healthcare and in its costs. While socialized medicine now may not reverse the out of control spending, we can observe that the lack of it was the most likely cause. In the semi-private market of American healthcare that has been around since the 70s, the incentives structure has been absurdly broken for so long it should be no surprise you pay more for mediocre results.

At this point though, going with the known working solution sooner rather than later is the technically most plausible way to stop the cost expansion. It is exactly like people debating about national debt - you can't complain or argue about how to pay it off until you stop adding to it every year, often with an increasing deficit (which is how republican administrations for the last 30 years have governed).

It is crazy to argue that in the moment your house is on fire to try this untested strategy of using giant fans to blow the fire out that nobody else has done versus going with the tried and true use a fire truck to extinguish the blaze. Experiment after everything isn't on fire.

Renaissance Tech CEO Sued by Former Employee
Day to day I use my email provider's regular web interface but I use Thunderbird every few months when I need to do a massive email cleanup - there is no other tool I'd rather use and it's indispensable to me for that purpose.

This is amazing work. Does anyone know how much someone like Tavis Ormandy would be getting paid? Would it be 7 figures?
Amen! I tend to be more Libertarian than either of the 2 major parties, but I would gladly pay personally for other people's health care if it was actually being done rationally. But I've had major problems every time I've seen a doctor my entire adult life, all related to the complexity of the billing, and it got to the point where my biggest health risk was the stress of fighting it. Go for an annual physical: $1200 bill for 2 physicals, blood tests I never got the results for, and a test they never performed. Not covered by insurance because the doctor's "wellness check up" wasn't the same as the insurance company's "annual physical". Time to resolve: 8 months. Resolution: I paid because the lawyer was going to be more expensive. That's not a system I'm willing to pay for, and it's got nothing to do with whether it's my social obligation or not.
In my experiments using linear probing in robin hood doesn't give good results as well. I hope the author has tried robin hood with quadratic probing. But it's a good reference. I didn't dive deep in the cuckoo route. This paper gives me more confidence to try it out.
Fair enough, I should have added that it's good to find places where failing is cheap - meet ups, public social events, mixers etc. I do understand that people can form opinions quickly that can stick.
I see what you did there. I kind of like it. :o)
No, he is exactly against covering simple code by tests. It's explained below first sentence.

It is funny how things turn around. ​ For fifteen years I
have been preaching TDD (Test-driven development, or as it
used to be called: test-first approach), or at least for
developers to write some unit tests. However, in recent
times I have found myself saying more often, "Why did you
write that test?" instead of, "You should write a test."

Answer to that "funny turn around" sentence is simple - he is getting older and more lazy. Each of us will, each of us should fight with it.

And after that, example of what I'm talking about:

It seems that he had trouble using Mockito to test the
following piece of code:

I think he was very surprised with my response: "You
don't need to test that."
