Yes, you're right. I actually thought about adding a paragraph that it is still in many ways the best system.

I think the most valuable thing about capitalism (well, depends on exact definition, maybe better would be talking about Western societies/democracies/free markets/whatever) is that it breaks down the monopolistic hierarchical social structure that exists in most societies and replaces it, at least, with a variety of such structures.
The HN headline is click bait. Using chip and pin doesn't prevent breach of the payment system. TFA even states the breach most likely only affected mag stripe cards, not chip cards.

Edit: I clicked to see how the chip was compromised and was sorely disappointed.
That is probably the most depressing hn comment ever.
In my experience, you don't get meaningful raises from an employer without asking for one, and making a good case for it.

For example, one year I went and interviewed at a number of different companies, got some offers that were significantly higher than what I was currently making, then went to my manager and made the case based on the highest offer I received. At the same time, I made it clear that I liked my current job and didn't want to leave.

What have you done already in this area?
As long as it's recognizable as an ad, it can be blocked. If it's not, then can you even call it an ad, really? It will be, I suppose, a very sophisticated product-placement. Certainly not something you can do automatically across millions of websites. So ad-blocking still wins.
Sure and I get doing that in addition to some work internally. But the way this was written gave me the impression that someone broke in, they don't know anything about it and are passing it off to someone else.

Maybe that's the wrong impression but with virtually zero details contained within the post regarding the intrusion it certainly doesn't inspire much confidence.
As a part of the deal, the tobacco companies were "exempted from private tort liability regarding harm caused by tobacco use". A much more just settlement would have allowed everyone who was harmed by tobacco (at least the ones who started smoking in the period between when the tobacco companies knew that tobacco was harmful, and when the publicly acknowledged it) to sue the companies for the cost of their harm.

This would of course have immediately bankrupted every tobacco company.
Do you remember your password?

From the Ethereum presale message:

You are about to make an ether purchase. Please keep the attached wallet file safe. It will serve as a cryptographic receipt of your purchase, along with your password.

The password you created and entered on the sale site is the key to your ether so please do not forget it. And please note: there are no mechanisms in place that will enable the Ethereum team to help you recover a lost password. Once it is lost, your purchased ether will be permanently inaccessible.
If anyone is interested in this synchronization process or how it relates to synchronization in general, I highly recommend 'Sync' by Steven Strogatz. It's one of the best popular science/math books I've ever read, and Strogatz is a mathematician at the heart of the research, and a great writer as well, so you really get the story from someone who is a world expert, rather than an interested journalist.
I've found that these kinds of static analysis systems have to be baked in from the beginning to get real results out of them.

>If the % of ad blockers is high enough, the content providers just switch over to paid subscriptions. E.g. Youtube Red.

This would be an amazing development. 99.9% of the providers who switch to paid subscription will go out of business, because their content is toxic garbage that people will never click if it cost them money. The remaining will be those who care about quality and consider the viewers to be their customers, not their product.

You may be significantly underestimating your ability to get phenomenal gains from algorithmic improvements. I think DJB would argue that the compiler optimizations are insignificant in comparison to those improvements for a very large portion of hot code.

Of course, even if I'm correct you could turn the optimizations back on and be faster still. One reason why you might not want to do that is the cost of increased miscompliation.
A high end foley room would probably get you 98% of the way there.

I actually have worked in security at startups my entire career. Before the tons of negative HN posts get posted. 2 things.

First, hug ops. I've been there before and will be again OneLogin. Same day notification and detected it by yourself is so great. It sounds very positive. Transparent and publicly acknowledging the issue as soon as possible. More information will come out people, it takes days or weeks to put together the whole story.

Take notes. Don't try to wait, folks. The first thing you should be doing after mitigation is figuring out how to communicate with your customers. I'm excited to read more as they learn more, but so far they are handling this very well.
Scientists create "sugar sponge" which can be injected into diabetics to sop up and bind glucose when glucose levels are high, and release the sugar when its concentrations are low. They also tested the sponge in mice with type-I diabetes, and within two days, they saw antidiabetic effects.
A growth from 1 to 100 people is 100,000% growth, and still marginal when considering the absolute scale.
There should be a link at the top of the HN page for "security breach notifications". Then everyone can safely ignore them as background noise, which they seem to have become.

I've never heard of private hire cars being used by consumers and ordinary people sure as hell aren't using them to goto the pub or shopping centre and back.

What Uber brings to the table isn't high end hire cars but rather UberX which is a game changer for price and quality. Finally taxis can't refuse to take you somewhere or not use the GPS. And not sure how you had a "bad attitude" experience given how seriously drivers take their ratings.
I've heard such noises before on my PalmPilot Professional. In a quiet room, I can hear a distinct hissing sound when I turned it on.

The only way I remember is by doing exercises. I'll read examples and understand immediately then not bother with the exercises only to forget later unless I've done X instead of just learning X. If I have 20mins to spare I'll often grab a text I've done and try and redo a few of the exercises to see if I can remember and that also helps, I learned that method from an older post here from somebody who suggested redoing material 6 months after to help remember.

The perverse outcome of the tobacco MSA was that state's payments were tied to tobacco usage. So if tobacco usage went down, so did their payments.

This pretty much obligated the states to transfer their interests to investors of the securitizations in order to reduce the obvious conflict of interest.

Static analysis tools tend to get run on the kernel quite often and make for fantastic starting contributions. The issue is, as mentioned, there's a lot of false positives and often times that's not really clear. You need a ton of domain knowledge to figure out if some warnings are actually bugs or not.

It would be cool if there was a single place that stored upstream warnings, be that from compilers on various architectures or from various static analysis tools like sparse, where maintainers/experienced contributors could help flag what is a bug, what isn't a bug, and what requires further investigation. Would probably reduce a ton of duplicated effort.

His idea is correct -- you're right, you don't know the entire internal state. But you can generate 2^32 possible internal states (because there are 32 bits of missing information), then perform the length extension process using each possible state.

If the system is using the hash function in such a way that length extension creates a vulnerability, you can then try the 2^32 different possible valid length extended hashes, and one of them will be correct (and that will be evident because the exploit would work). But you are also correct that, in isolation, there is no way to determine which of the 2^32 resultant digests is the correct.

Not really that much less gravity, certainly not enough to notice, let alone have a difference to a rocket launch. Gravity varies as 1/R^2 where R in this case is distance from the earth, so it's the difference between that at ~6380 km and ~6400 km (for a 20 km altitude) which is not much - you have to be well into space, at over 1000 km up, before gravity drops to less than 7 km/s^2 for instance.

An interesting read but this kind of predictions don't work "in advance". Usually it's needed for some market player that is still unknown to show up first. That player will then serve as an example and solidify the argument. To know/feel what SaaS 2.0 is, in advance, would mean that you are the one driving it. SaaS 2.0 is not here yet.

I actually got to test this. My office was about 8km from my house. If I was to leave around my usual time, it would take me about 55-65 mins minimum to reach home.

One day I hadn't taken my car and couldn't find a cab. So I said screw it and decided to walk home.

Reached home in flat 71 minutes. Would have been faster had I taken detours that cut the distance by a kilometer or so.

But honestly I think they've done very well.

It was detected today, they shut it down, they have reported it and gotten a third party to assist in investigating it.

What are you expecting ? 100% disclosure before they know the full accounting themselves?
I see no point in disclosing information they haven't verified as being accurate and relevant. They can't verify and vet the information that quickly... Posting incorrect information is just as bad as posting not enough. I think they're doing exceedingly well in comparison to most other organisations in this space.

> It would really be nice if the field of compiler engineering started to address the obvious neglected areas, like optimizing memory layout

Interesting tidbit: LLVM was developed by Chris Lattner for his PhD thesis. It was titled "Macroscopic Data Structure Analysis and Optimization" and about "Instead of analyzing individual load/store operations or structure definitions, this approach identifies, analyzes, and transforms entire memory structures as a unit", in his own words. Apparently, the world was more interested in a good compiler framework than specific memory layout optimization proposed.

http://llvm.org/pubs/2005-05-04-LattnerPHDThesis.html
This is how it's defined in FIPS-180, more or less (SHA-224 is SHA-256/224). This confusion is why I like explicitly stating SHA-256/x or SHA-512/x.
Underscore's Scala books are now open source
" like optimizing memory layout and data types/representations based on partial evaluation / profile feedback."

They already can. The issue is usually one of what is allowable within language semantics, not of compiler optimization technology.

One reason you may see this as neglected is that outside of, say, polyhedral loop optimizations, research in the 80's and 90's (and sometimes earlier) did a really really good job of exploring this area because fortran allowed so much freedom.

Ah, that's interesting to know. Was the development system also RISC/OS, or did some UNIX variant do this as well? I thought in UNIX, tape was always used with utilities such as tar, not mounted as a part of filesystem. That should of course be possible, for the patient at least :).

Yes, the pay-off for click-bait is usually non-existent. But occasionally I can't control my curiosity.

What I'd like is a firefox or chrome plugin that takes a clickbait link and scrapes out just the content and presents it on one page. (IE it automatically traverses the pages and grabs out the content). Has anyone written something like this? Anyone up for the challenge? The code may need to be tailored to each website but it would be enough to cover just a few of the big players.

At least for personal mailboxes I've found 'inbox zero' a thankless task and have settled for "inbox as a feed" in which I trust that anything important will catch my attention (e.g. via Priority Inbox or multiple emails) and everything else will fade away. For what it's worth, this means I currently have 12k+ emails that I'll never open.

Just recently, I was watching a housing development in San Francisco, and the neighborhood merchants’ association filed a CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act) appeal to the Board of Supervisors claiming the EIR (Environmental Impact Report) was inadequate. Strangely, the Board of Supervisors refused to consider the merits of this claim, but kept delaying the hearing to talk about it.

After 6 months, the merchants’ association withdrew their complaint. Was it because the EIR was fine after all? No. It was because the local area’s supervisor, the merchants’ association, and the developer did backroom negotiations until the developer gave enough concessions that the merchants’ association was satisfied. These concessions will inevitably come out as higher prices for housing.
