As long as you set up SPF, DMARC, DKIM, reverse DNS, and SSL/TLS, plus do that all correctly. Oh, and make sure you pick a provider or host whose IP ranges aren't damaged goods. And don't get me started about sender reputation with the various email providers, or the often erroneous blacklists (and fighting to get your server/IPs off and kept off).

IMO, there are limitless other things I'd rather be doing than these!

Not just reporting it, but having actually exploited it to confirm before reporting it, even if just to test. That was the wrong move.

What should have been done was the second he had the thought that such a vulnerability could exist, he should have notified them that he believes that there is a possibility for one to alter the site code locally to gain unfair pricing, and to ask them if either he could check for them or if they could check using his proposed method.

The second you actually test without permission, you've committed a crime. Jury/court might look at intent later on, but for now, you've committed a crime and are thus subject to arrest.
The long-time residents have enacted legislation that insulates them from price increases, so house prices are irrelevant to them. Rent controls, property tax freeze, etc. aren't failed policies, but wildly successful ones because they allow long-time residents to pretend that SF is still a small town. That it puts a hard squeeze on people moving in to SF is probably just frosting on the cake.
> "The code is law" is a wet dream for a dystopic authoritarian state and I don't understand why anybody, much less actual coders, would think that's a good idea.

How is that dystopic and authoritarian? Looks like you're throwing a bunch of buzz words for shock value with little argument to back it up. We already trust code as contract everyday every time you make a payment through SSL (anyone who lived through the 90's and early 2000's remembers how people were scared to death of online payment security and now it happens every millisecond). Ethereum is just a distributed version of that with no middle man, that is to say it can fail like SSL can when compromised but it doesn't mean we should throw it out the window just because it could sometimes fail. By that logic we should still be cavemen and forget about any technology ever.

> "Thank you for subscribing to our contract for your $2 weekly subscription. By the way through a clever loophole obfuscated in our code the amount actually doubles every week. "

I hope you're aware that the exact same thing happened with these indexed loans where people weren't aware that interests could fluctuate with time, right?
Interesting idea. Feedback:

* You need to get yourself a decent copywriter. I could tell you were French within a couple of paragraphs. Based on the French version of your site, you're an established team and not two guys working out of a garage in Ukraine (where that kind of shortcoming could be excused), so the poor level of English comes off as lazy.

* Your page is broken on mobile (Android/Chrome). The rightmost columns and the graphics are partially off-screen.

Also that kind of submission would fit in the "Show HN" category, where it could get you better coverage.
Every interaction I have with these kind of guys proves to me that they deep down believe their own BS and that they are actually blind only to their own actions. I consider a delusion much more dangerous than a malign stratagem.
Too bad Magnifier wasn't on that list.
I don't see why getting certain videos whitelisted and proxied through an official site or GFW directly would not be viable.

Same for twitter: send your tweets via an approved gateway, get them reviewed an pushed to Twitter, get pre-censored retweets as they appear and get approved. Make the international voice of the PRC researchers official-only, Soviet-style.

With corporations, it's harder. But for each "we don't trust your servers" from a Western corp side there could be a symmetric "we don't trust your servers" from Chinese side. The resolution depends on who needs the other side more; I bet that in most cases it would be Western corporations giving in.

Simple answer to your problem. Everything you mentioned about "being awesome" in your current life, aren't things that make you happy. That's it! Switch things up a little bit and I'm sure you're smart enough to make the difference between "what's good for me" and "what people think is awesome".

There have been various proposals for city-optimized vehicles such as http://cp.media.mit.edu/citycar/.

Maybe someday. The problem is that there isn't really a sharp divide between dense urban core and everything else. I think about the largest city nearest to me and traffic can get pretty high speed even nearby fairly dense areas. Traffic is often jammed up but when it isn't it doesn't just move at sedate speeds.

I'm taking a grad school embedded systems class where we have to maintain a makefile that cross compiles to two different embedded platforms as well as compiles on the host machine.

We're doing it by calling a PLATFORM and using an IF statement in the makefile: make PLATFORM=HOST for example. The makefile then replaces the compiler variable, compiler flags, linker, flags, etc.
That's very very backwards. Local business are charging $6 for milk because they have to make enough profit to pay rent. The soaring rent is absolutely due to high-salary tech work; the bay area existed for decades without these significant rent issues.
>> "I don't trust myself to create bug-free programs and are in the belief that it's impossible."

And the recent hack exploited exactly this: a harmless-looking piece of code that turned out to have a serious bug allowing re-initialization of a wallet. The exploit allowed black hats to take control of certain unpatched wallets.
Not only is it a social construct, but the concept of money took thousands of years to evolve, with fits and starts, to what it is today. No matter what, some new technology isn't going to just show up all of a sudden and completely revolutionize what is an intrinsic component of human civilization. To think otherwise is to be taken in by scammers.

I know that current money systems have flaws and are manipulated by the elites. Crypto won't end up being any different in that regard, however. Inflation is a tactic utilized within the current flawed system to move wealth to the top without your bank balance displaying the change. Cryptos will end up having their own flaws to be exploited.

The minimum wage was always supposed to be a living wage, not a pittance for teens and retirees. To quote FDR's statement when signing the law which instituted the first federal minimum wage.

> In my Inaugural I laid down the simple proposition that nobody is going to starve in this country. It seems to me to be equally plain that no business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country. By "business" I mean the whole of commerce as well as the whole of industry; by workers I mean all workers, the white collar class as well as the men in overalls; and by living wages I mean more than a bare subsistence level-I mean the wages of decent living.

Indeed. Though on-by-default telemetry gets a different set of data than engaging with the customer.

If adding telemetry is faster and easier than engaging with the customer, then you'll see projects that add telemetry that wouldn't otherwise have the bandwidth to engage with the customer.

In general, I think the best way to go is to ask in the installer or initial setup, whether you want to send telemetry, and have a sane default according to whether you gather potentially personal information (location? personal, commands run (without args), not personal).

Example Prompt: Send telemetry (commands used, version) (y/n)[y]:
Corecursion and codata are cool, and I would trust Solidity vastly more if it were a "total" functional language with no mutable state and aggressive type checking. Or if it were something more like https://www.idris-lang.org/ , where I had abundant tools to rigorously prove that nobody could steal my money.

Basically, if I'm going to spend even 5 minutes playing with smart contracts, I want to feel like the language designers were incredibly paranoid and aware of just how good modern languages can be at provability and security.
I think this really speaks to the issue - by making things quick, easy, and fair-with-documentation, we lose out on the opportunity to practice a bunch of hard-to-relearn (and imo valuable) social skills and machinery that comes with interpersonal debts. see Graeber - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debt:_The_First_5000_Years

Having a car be able to suddenly and unexpectedly brake hard to a full stop is not always safe. As op said s/he didnt know why

Commuter and congested driving conditions by regular drivers assume a pattern of high speed. I do not want my car to have unconditional ability to brake when a computer thinks it should. Period.

Yet... We are now in phases of non-human controlled vehicles and it is a safety requirement to know what outcomes a computer can place on a car going at high speeds.

I would like to be able to create actions that cause my safety to increase against a computer assisted car. If decals (or any actions) make me safer because it makes a computer controlled car behave a certain way, then i will do it.

Remembering Hair-Raising Landings at Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Airport
https://www.facebook.com/bkkbudapest

When the story made it to Slashdot's front page, it had ~46k 1-start reviews and a few hundred ratings in the 2-5 stars range.

Methinks whoever is in charge of company reviews at BKK is despairing right now. Unless they somehow convince FB to drop the recent cohort of 1-star ratings (which will almost certainly yield a Streisand effect) and keep a low profile for a very long time before allowing star ratings again, there's simply no way the BKK will rescue the rating.

It's unfortunate for the BKK and its staff. The quality of their service and vehicles is good overall and the staff is friendly. It's admittedly not 5-star grade, but it's certainly not 1-star material either. Yet this sequence of event might haunt them for years.
Ask HN: On Facebook: why are event invites unblockable?

A few things. They aren't Facebook employees, as some people might infer when reading the headline. They're working for the cafeteria contractor - Flagship Facility Services.

They are making $2 and $4/hour more than the $15/hour minimum wage people are fighting for. Obviously $15 isn't enough and neither is more than $15.

>> Earlier in their relationship, the couple both earned about $12 per hour as managers at Chipotle and were able to afford their own apartment.

What changed? Having the 3 kids? Did they move to a different area? $12/hr isn't going to get you an apartment in most of CA.

I personally would have said to them "Would you like a fair trade? I've discovered a huge problem in your software that could allow anyone to remotely wipe their debt without you really knowing about it. I'll give that information in exchange for elimination of my debt. The money you'd lose from me is utterly dwarfed by the money you'd save by locking down this security issue, an issue which many bad actors would pay millions for. It makes financial sense and you'd be covering yourself security-wise. Win-win for all involved!"

Actually, yes. California doesn't allow tipped restaurant servers to be paid less than minimum wage like many other states. PA minimum wage is $15(10-12 take home), and you can expect another $15-30/hr cash.

So yes, that's not that much. Not a living wage.
Freethinkers
"Freethinkers are those who are willing to use their minds without prejudice and without fearing to understand things that clash with their customs, privileges, or beliefs. This state of mind is not common, but it is essential for right thinking; where it is absent, discussion is apt to become worse than useless."

My understanding is that the halting problem does not prevent formal proofs of Ethereum contract correctness because Ethereum contracts have gas limits that make them terminating.

First off, really rooting for the Athletic, because I genuinely hope there is a place for good sportswriting in the future (and underlying that hope is that a business model will emerge that allows that to happen).

As a big college football fan though, your comment highlights one of the challenges I think they face with the "go local" strategy.

If the sports news/writing ecosystem were just bland ESPN-type coverage, I think there's a really clear value proposition. The reality is that there are a ton of other players with a local voice that users can get to for free (from the old school local beat writers to SB Nation's sites that represent ever major local team).

The bet they're making seems to be that there's room for a quality content provider, and I hope that ends up being true.
To be fair... what you described is not what's being suggested by the "Urban Wealth Fund".

What the "Urban Wealth Fund" idea would do is essentially have that property put into a pool of property with ... for instance ... the State's property. And then give out shares based on the value of the property the city put in.

I can understand why someone holding real estate would not want to do that. Especially if the city is putting in something in Flatiron... that may not be very valuable in price, but can be leased for FAR more than any of the property that the state might put in. (Even though the state's property may be more valuable in price, as some of it includes Beaux Arts buildings, but can't be leased for as much.)

It's far smarter for the city to just go it alone in that instance. (Well, I guess "smarter" is too loaded of a word, so maybe I should just say that the city would derive far more profit from just leasing the space on its own.)

And that's just the single instance you mention. It gets even more complex when you talk about the city kicking in an asset like... say ... Central Park.
Re-read the comment.

There's a lot of truth to it: raise their wages, and in a heartbeat, those workers will see their rents rise.
It doesn't have to have a coercive power behind it enforcing it's use. It has a natural benefit, which is anonymity (when used the right way). People want to use Bitcoin as a currency. It doesn't need to supplant normal money, just be an addition to it.
Dealing with the legwork around programming bitcoin script will always be at least 10x more complex than whatever it was that you wanted to program.
It would also be unwise to fill a 401k with a handful of stocks because a friend of a friend recommended them.

That's why the general advice is for people to fill their 401k's with a few index funds (and chasing average market returns) rather than trying to get lucky by picking the next FB, AAPL or GOOG.
If those retailers could do market segmentation, to sell the milk for $6 to software engineers and for $2 to cafeteria workers, they'd do it.
His original papers are as accessible as popular press. The big ones are “Nature of the Firm” and “The Problem of Social Cost.” For the 2nd one, Coase complained it is used to reach the opposite conclusion than he intended.^

^Essentially, Coase argues that in the absence of transaction costs, abcd. He meant this as a way of highlighting the importance of transaction costs, with abcd being obviously false in reality. Economists tend to assume efficient markets in their theory, so many read that statement to be boilerplate economist caveats.
I went to open my calculator this morning and it told me it was in the middle of an update and to try again later. 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and 15 minutes later it still wasn't done. I ended up using Google to calculate some basic math! How does Microsoft screw up such a simple application?
How about when photons flood the camera/sensor ( the sun shines it's rays directly at you ) -- or - when photons cover the subject that the camera/sensor is supposed to be reading -- last this happened the rider died ( https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/jul/01/tesla-dri... ) -- they're too many natural occurring factors at play to predetermine what a moving vehicle should or shouldn't do every second - for this reason - vehicles we travel in should be put in an environment first that blocks distractions - like Musk with his Boring machine - this controlled environment makes more sense - otherwise I need an alarm to wake me up when the sensors know they can't tell what's going on - I need to regain control of my vessel and guide it correctly through the photons - yes?
I think that's a little unfair; there's:

* 10 individual companies mentioned

* a one sentence summary of the business itself

* A quote from someone involved in that company about remote working

* more than 1 link per company with resources about how they themselves deal with remote work

The site itself - it's visually very cluttered and it does itself no favours, but it's a good one-page collection of links about remote work (many of which I think have been discussed here before).

I have no affiliation or connection with this so no skin off my nose but to say there's no content is a little flippant.

The insidious creep of pseudo-public space
This future is unlikely to exist. For most people owning their car will be an advantage. If you already take public transit you might not understand this, but a lot of car owners have customized their car with other things. I'm not talking cosmetic things like paint either.

Many golfers carry their clubs. The chess guy has his chess set in the car. Shopping bags from the lunch break shopping trip - all things you live in your personal car. Sure you can carry them in, but you don't want to.
I do it using rotating proxies, stripping cookies between requests, randomly varying the delay between requests, randomly selecting a valid user-agent string, etc. It's a pain in the butt. And to scrape more than I do, faster than I do, would be pretty freaking expensive in terms of time and money.

Note that Google is pretty aggressive about captcha-ing "suspicious" activity and/or throttling responses to suspicious requests. You can easily trigger a captcha with your own manual searching. Just search for something, go to page 10, and repeat maybe 5-20 times and you'll see a captcha challenge.

If Google gets more serious about blocking me then I'll use ML to overcoming their ML (which should be doable because they're always worried about keeping Search consumer-friendly).
Android: NXP I.MX6 on Etnaviv Update
Would like to hear any success stories for media (and speciifcally sports media). I've been running a sports blog for 5+ years and don't use Patreon but have seen many friends start that effort in the last year.

To be honest, I don't think I have ever seen anyone making more than $200 or so a month (which is probably better than if they were CPM only but not enough for a real sportswriter to pay much more than their internet bill unfortunately).
Interesting piece of software.

Seems similar (though much more advanced), to a piece of DOS software I remember floating around various "overunity" forums I used to visit years ago (I have a secret fascination with such efforts; I know they can't succeed, but it is interesting to see the lengths and effort people go for to try), though I don't recall its name.

This software would probably be very useful for designing motors and generators, and for the DIY crowd in those areas.

The fact that its not enough to live on combines two things, to varying amounts

- The prices of their needs are high enough that they can't afford them (given the amount they make)

- The amount they make is low enough that they can't afford their needs

Its reasonable to attack both issues, not just the one.
I honestly don't see how.

E-mail is a technical problem. Replacing Outlook with GMail is doable.

Recruiting is a complex business process. Enterprise recruiting has significant regulatory hurdles as well as business specific requirements. There is a huge implemementation and service component to an enterprise ATS implementation, there is no "plug and play" here.
