The story was independently confirmed by The New York Times and Buzzfeed, each citing two anonymous sources.

A rendering engine is not, itself, a web browser. (You might be thinking of a higher-level component, like Chromium's Embedded Framework? Not the same thing as a rendering engine.)

There's certainly a layer of a rendering engine—the part that translates a CSSOM into rendering pragmas—that changes a lot over time. But rendering the resulting pragmas itself doesn't change much, and features requiring new pragmas come about remarkably slowly.

> And if you pay the lawyers a little more, they can probably even figure out how to avoid paying capital gains on the distributed assets if they are below $10 million.

Capital gains costs bases are currently "stepped up" during the estate transfer. No need to pay anything to lawyers. If your estate is below $10.5M (or thereabouts, I forget what the exact number is since it's now inflation adjusted), you won't be liable for any of that capital gains, nor will you owe any estate tax since you're within the exemption.
These decisions are huge and uncertain tradeoffs between how many will die from a drug being stopped or delayed and how many will die from it being approved.

If no drugs ever were recalled or had significant safety issues after approval, that would be a certain sign the process is erring on the side of non approval.
No, there is a good reason why they cannot be updated without issues and it has little to do with product activation or anything on Microsoft's part.

A lot of these cracked copies of Windows were installed by cloning a master image, which was heavily customised using unofficial tools such as Dism++ and did so aggresively that the many of the underlying dependencies were left permanently damaged. The system will appear fine however many official patches could break it.

A number of homegrown security suites actually blocked the installation of the relevant patch in March due to a correct if not misguided decision that this patch would make many cloned installations unbootable unless the user was capable of performing a manual repair process.

Patching is never that simple in the real world. I've had to roll back a few patches myself after them made various production software fail to run (in one case, Microsoft Office). A number of streamers also had their line of work affected after a Windows 10 update borked certain aspects of sound capture - if they had any faith in the updating process they probably won't have any left after it gets in their line of work.
Yes the President decides on classification. The issue here is that the intelligence came from a third party who never authorised the US to share it with anyone else especially not the Russians.

Why is Russia an issue here ? Because they are there not just to fight ISIS but also to support the Syrian government who the US and most of the world absolutely do not support. And so Trump just helped Russia prop up the Syrians.
I think if a company like this was in the show Silicon Valley it would be badly received because it would be too out there and unrealistic even for that show.
Systems that have already been infected with the NSA DOUBLEPULSAR rootkit are more vulnerable to infection [1].

The high prevalence in China (and Russia) might also indicate that these systems were hacked by the NSA prior to the Microsoft March 2017 update patch and the WannaCry ransomware.

ISIS can make or has the intent to make or is trying to make Lithium Ion battery bombs.

Exageration you say? Go research it on Youtube, you'll see. This flaw has been known for years.

Think ISIS won't do it? Believe some crazy conspiracy that ISIS is a Mossad-KGB-Thule front?

Remember that recent passenger jet in Egypt destination Moscow that ISIS blew up killing everyone on board?

I saw with my own eyes the Mujahideen on Telegram weeks before the plane crash where they posted selfies of their new bomb.

That is Al Qaida's 2015 magazine issue with the easy DIY blueprint for how to make it.I don't recommend reading all of it, but just enough until you go "holy shit it's that easy."

I almost didn't want to post this because god forbid the wrong you-know-who ever saw it and got "Inspired", but at the same time, this is a Catch-22, a Clear and Present Danger that folks need to know is real and is out there and so we must do whatever safety counter measures are necessary to ensure ISIS can never succeed in these style of attacks.

Take ISIS at their word--they are deadly serious, it's not a joke.

But nothing in that argument requires spending billions of dollars to build a wall across the southern border like ancient Imperial China trying to keep the Mongols at bay. The wall, itself, as an actual thing, makes no sense.

Arguably, the wall would do more harm than good, both to our relationship with Mexico, and the funding of other, more effective means of border control and enforcement.

The system of designating information as confidential, secret, top secret and so on is indeed established by an executive order (EO 12356) however, one should actually read 12356 because it isn't as simple as "has ultimate control." Even within the EO framework, some co-ordination with the NSC is required.

Additionally, the law (Espionage Act etc) doesn't speak to classification and names, very broadly:

"Whoever, being entrusted with or having lawful possession or control of any document, writing, code book, signal book, sketch, photograph, photographic negative, blueprint, plan, map, model, instrument, appliance, note, or information, relating to the national defense, (1) through gross negligence permits the same to be removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of his trust, or to be lost, stolen, abstracted, or destroyed, or (2) having knowledge that the same has been illegally removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of its trust, or lost, or stolen, abstracted, or destroyed, and fails to make prompt report of such loss, theft, abstraction, or destruction to his superior officer"

I'm going to stick my neck out to voice against the constant flagging of political news as it comes out.

To preempt the common "HN is not about politics", perhaps not, but politics of late have become such that they DO impact HN even if they aren't fundamentally technical. A comment on another thread said something along the lines of, "what do I care, HN is international?" I would argue precedents set here have international implications, and given YC's bearing as a US company, indiscretions of our leaders on this level seem like something we should certainly keep an ear to the ground to.

If our community is silent on things that so set the tone for how our country is run and perceived for _everyone_, I question what leg we'll have to stand on when we speak up to things only relevant to us. Being tech-centric does not excuse a lack of participation in trying to make the world a better place.

My feeling is that we have two opposing modes of work developing:

Scalable work, where tools multiply worker effectiveness exponentially (tech, finance, manufacturing),

Non-scalable work, where tools multiply worker effectiveness linerarly/constant (everything else).

It is a little bit of a Taleb's world where exponentials live side by side normal distribution.

Scalable work is much more profitable than linear work. Where I work, being scaleable is a requirement. If it is not scaleable, we are not doing it.

This creates incentive to make everything scaleable. Which is a big problem for those whose work is inherently linear: teachers, doctors, waiters. They get put in optimization straightjackets for marginal improvement. And it sucks the soul of what they do. It makes world a less happy place, filled with 15min doctor appointments, restaurants where tables must be turned every 2 hours for profitability, etc.

The compound problem for doctors has been that they have to perform highly creative, high impact tasks while inside the optimization straighjacket. That's got to hurt.
The community is in every thread because the people here were HN users before they were Rust users. Look at how old my account is; I haven't quite been shilling Rust since December 2011. :P
You're correct that the problem isn't necessarily technical.

Historically, the problems have been cost effectiveness and legal restrictions. Things are slowly changing, though, even if it's not necessarily reaching the big-name games.

If you read the story, you'd find that this is included. It also goes into detail why the disclosure was unwise even if not illegal.

Even though the current administration may have lowered expectations substantially, I am sure people will still have faint memories of times when presidents could be criticised for actions that were simply "very very wrong", even if those actions didn't amount to crimes.
This bugs me. He laments that using Amazon removes a human interaction. Then he says:

"Note: I don’t consider chat rooms and product reviews as “human interaction”; they’re mediated and filtered by a screen."

Well, I don't consider a sales person swooping in to sell me something I didn't come looking for human interaction. I don't consider someone ringing up my order to be meaningful human interaction. I guess it's in the eye of the beholder, but as soon as online shopping became feasible I switched to it for as many transactions as possible because of the low quality of human interactions I was getting at physical stores. The amount of wasted time and energy spent dealing with people who were instructed to up-sell me on the stupidest things was just such a turn-off. No interest in going back to that.
Something that's on the front page of every news site in the world is exactly the kind of thing that doesn't need to be on HN.

Sorry but HN really isn't the best place to discuss it.

There are plenty of interesting startup and IT news stories that don't make it to the front page because of political posts.
Holy crap. This is almost unbelievable, it's so bad. How are ANY of the things listed as complaints possibly good ideas in someone's mind!?
The person you're repyling to explicitly told us his experience. If you say it's not based on experience, you're calling him a liar.
People can have sex if they want to(in theory no, on the workplace shouldn't be allowed so openly). BUT company that offer a bed/room for sex ? this seems to be too much.

It's a workplace, not a frat house.
Lol, I just checked UploadVR's website and a popup window used for collecting email has following:
> GET HOOKED UP

I'm not gonna even expect the accused to clean up their acts. Only way they will learn, and teach other younger ones not to copy their acts, is for the investors to hammer this down hard.

The attackers can run their bitcoins through a "bitcoin mixer". But those mixers may have been penetrated by an intelligence agency.
It doesn't matter which one; all the major powers are annoyed with this attacker.
I get that the Bay Area is nice, but a lot of expensive housing is expensive because of its proximity to high-paying jobs. If you don't need one of those, you can live more cheaply.

(Unfortunately, proximity to smart, creative people also seems to correlate with housing costs. I wonder what US cities have the best "proximity to interesting people to living expense" ratio?)

I think Mr. Money Mustache lives in some Colorado suburb, and he was able to buy a nicer house for less money specifically because it's not in the immediate vicinity of a major economic hub.
That's the impression I got too. A lot of the behavior described in the complaint reminds me of an out-of-control frat house.
How about "They require solutions to problems that the average human mind shies away from attempting to comprehend..." (I assume the rest of the argument is "thus making it hard for anyone with the problem your product solves to realize they even have that problem.")

> No, that has literally no bearing on this discussion about your use of Brotli encoding. You're weirdly fixated with this, but it's completely irrelevant.

https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!msg/blink-d...

> > Important note: Brotli availability is restricted to HTTPS connections.

You Cannot Use Brotli Without HTTPS. Chrome does not support this, and Firefox does not support this. The same goes for Edge. One of the major reasons for me moving my website to HTTPS is so that I could use Brotli compression. Otherwise, Firefox and Chrome will merely get a content encoding error page because br is an unknown encoding format when using HTTP! HTTPS is required, and Google engineers are telling you this themselves. You're wrong, and Google engineers are right. End of story.

> Why doesn't Safari count in your eyes as a major browser? Or perhaps more interestingly, why doesn't iOS Safari count? Are you really ok with your site not working for 100% of iOS users?

I do not care if iOS users using Safari are unable to access my website. In the same way that iOS app developers do not care that Android users cannot use their apps, I do not care if iOS users using Safari are unable to access my personal blog. My target audience is not iOS users. My target audience consists of Linux users using either Chrome or Firefox.

So basically, you have tunnel vision and are just here to bicker and argue senselessly about things you don't understand or are unwilling to accept. I'm not sure why you're so upset that I have decided to not support your access to my personal blog. No matter how many times I explain things to you, you never seem to get it through your head. This is my website, not yours. I will not support gzip, and I will not support uncompressed content, nor will I support tools that only work with HTTP.
You need to expect that massive stories like this one make the front page. The community wants to discuss them. Even if you successfully bury this one, another will come shortly. It's inevitable and unavoidable.

Actually I see what might be the source of those allegations.

My office has a sleeping space and we have all sort of names for it including 'man cave', 'room where bad things happen' etc. etc. I can totally see how a disgruntled employee can convert it into "kink room" where people have sex.

On various office parties we had hired strippers and escorts and while none of them were prostitutes I can totally see how it can be reconstructed. We have gone to clubs to pick up women and discussed strategies.

All this in my opinion is perfectly normal and yet can be represented in a negative way.

EDIT: Strippers were not hired by employer but everyone contributed their own money for team event.
Do you really think you will succeed in keeping a story this huge off the front page?

As each one is buried, someone else will come along thinking "hey, this isn't here yet!" and start a new one.
That–with all due respect–completely misses the point of the post you're replying to. Which is: there are instances where people aren't 'entrepreneurs' or 'tech people' but 'citizens'.
If it's consensual and everyone is an adult, I don't see the problem. No different than everyone having sex in the meditation room at a coworking space (true story!).

But harassment and abuse? Do not pass go. Go directly to court and liquidation.

This is a bit more nuanced than this.

There's 31,757 positions offered. However, if you are applying into a specialty, you apply simultaneously for a PGY1 and PGY2 position, so those people are being double counted.

As a result, you need to subtract 2,677 advanced positions from the 31k positions, yielding 29,080 PGY1 + PGY2. There are 18,539 US MD applicants, but with the merger of the ACGME and COCA, DO applicants must be counted, adding 3,590 to the US graduate pile. That gives 22,129 US graduates competing for 29,080 spots. Yeah we take a lot of "foreigners" but a lot of them are actually American citizens who went to school in other countries and many of whom have US medical education debt, 5,069 in fact (look on page 1, "IMGs"). If you add in the IMGs, that's 27198 US graduates and US citizens applying for 29,080 spots. Only space for about 2000 Foreign Medical Grads.

So, the real key breakthrough here wouldn't be in the analysis phase, but rather in the collection phase?

Yes, but if one must have sex in the workplace, I would rather it be in a designated area than, say, on my desk. I want to know what surfaces genitals have been pressed against and where, with a reasonable degree of confidence, they haven't.

I'm not even hung up about the sex at all, if it's consensual you do you and or whomever you like, but it's a matter of hygiene.

If they want have sex is better for them that they don't get caught or they do at home.

Have a room/bed for sex in office is something really stupid if you want have a sane culture(imho).
