It's certainly possible that they stole the bitcoins and paid for a few days (a week?) worth of goods.

But 1) the article does not provide any real evidence to support for this theory, 2) it's not a sufficient amount to be a viable strategy, and 3) the evidence even linking the thefts to NK sounds somewhere between non-existent and very flimsy.

When the FireEye report's leading point states: "...there are no clear indications of North Korean involvement", it's not good support for such a broad statement as the title of the article.

Again, it's definitely possible, but too little information appears to be available to draw this conclusion.
There have always been concerns about "bureaucratic lifers" in governments, including the US and U.K.
As a prospective Reddit advertiser, I'm disappointed to learn of this new alteration, as it does seem to dilute my budget considerably.

The ability to target specific subs has multiple benefits:

- the advertiser knows precisely where the ad's appearing. Useful for them and their notion of where it'll be most useful, and indeed, knowing it won't be running anywhere else. Reddit appears to be deliberately diluting this benefit.

- the reader had previously been assured of ads relevant to the sub. As has been noted elsewhere, it's not always welcome for ads from professionally relevant subs to bleed outside the work day. Then there are subs which people might not want ads targeted for them appearing elsewhere - I'm not entirely confident someone who'd visited a sub on the basis of tentatively exploring a possible element of their sexuality, for example, might want that highlighted the next day when visiting some other sub entirely.
I have certainly noticed this as well, even among my group of friends/associates. Both the Progressive and Conservative sides (which together make up a heavy majority of political opinion in the US) seem to be favoring regulation, and in some cases heavy regulation. They may have different reasons, but at the end of the day I don't see how you avoid the government clamp-down given the emerging political climate. I'm generally against regulation myself, but even I am wondering if it isn't needed.
Maybe the phenomenon you describe would be weaker in U.S. politics if there were more political parties and less incentive for people to vote major-party. As it is, it seems like a lot of political journalism consists of different attempts at tea-leaf reading about which demographics were motivated to join which coalitions how, and whether the coalitions will shift, and how we would even know. I'm sure those phenomena also occur in other countries with a broader partisan landscape, but maybe they come with a smaller dose of speculation. :-)

Confession time...

At the height of my drug addictions I was injecting methamphetamine three to five days a week, taking benzos to sleep, and Heroin or Suboxone two to three days a week to come down from the meth.

Wanna know what caused me the most suffering: a close brush with the law, narrowly avoiding a drug trafficking trial.

I'm clean ~4 years now. I go to work every day, pay the bills, I bought a house. Fairly normal.

In my opinion one of the major problems with illicit substances is the lack of healthy social norms around any kind of recreational use, having to hide that you're a drug user.
It speaks volumes that he'd personally respond like this. It shows how much he cares about his research as opposed to being 'right'

I bought SuSE Linux at Best Buy 15 years ago. This was before I had a fast-enough internet connection to download it. I remember there were a few other distros available as well.
This isn't HW integration at the CPU level, but the whole damned device chipset. Apple know what network, WiFi, video, audio, network, camera, USB, FireWire, or whatever else device(s) are going to be on the system. They can buy out entire production runs of hardware if need be. And if there are changes to spec, they can stay on top of that as well.

Linux ... takes what you throw at it. It does this pretty damned well most of the time, but I've lived and seen the challenges.

Broadcom chipsets. Nvidia. Dell's so-called RAID controllers (PERC). WiFi.

Audio, trackpad (at least for single-touch), networking, and WiFi not so much any more, though bootloaders and telco kit remain issues.

Wow I get they don't want the videos on their site but banning all of the users other services seems very over the top. They're a private company they can do what they want but this is not a good way to do business.
> The USPS has a similar monopoly to YouTube

No, the USPS has a legally-protected monopoly, where alternative services are prohibited from competing with certain core functions.

Alternative web video distribution services are not prohibited, and there are several that specialize in content that is unwelcome on YouTube.

> The present ambiguity over their status

What ambiguity? They are active distribution agents (neither publishers nor common carriers, in that regard, though they are often also publishers, more like bookstores).

It only seems “ambiguous” when framed with a false dichotomy.

Go definitely has a better job outlook for hiring. If you're wanting to sell it to current management/coworkers, my experience so far has also been that management is a lot more receptive to Go than Clojure.
I worked on the blog team for Barack Obama's '08 campaign. The comments section developed a culture of posting a link to their personal fundraising page as the top comment, and other commenters would then donate to it.

Someone on the team got annoyed by this so for a while we would post the top comment before publishing such that they couldn't post their personal fundraising link. Then we ran some numbers and realized how much money it was costing the campaign (a lot).

Moral of the story: comment sections are weird.
I guess it just depends on the definition of "totally." It is very much possible to develop something based on the insights from Newtonian physics for example. Newtonian physics is flawed, but often good enough.
To be fair, the "train-wreck" the blog comments on was predicted by Kahneman himself back in 2012. In fact, as shown in the article, he was personally urging researchers to question and check if the priming research studies were actually correct.

But you are right. I still see his book cited all the time in popular media. He should be much more vocal about what he got wrong.
And the last time it was "competitive"? 2009, with commissioners appointed by the last Republican president.

I'd completely forgotten about this. Having to review votes from other users feels like work to me though. Having the community arrive at the community rules with metamoderation isn't going to always go along with the goals of the site either I would have thought.

I wonder if a similar system would work where 1) regular users vote as normal 2) moderators who strictly stick to community guidelines vote (e.g. vote up comments that add to the discussion, vote down trolls, silly jokes and rude comments) 3) only votes from people whose votes are consistent with the moderators are weighted heavily.

Maybe you could even be rewarded with karma when a moderator agrees with you to encourage it instead of it being hidden. Obviously all these systems are open to abuse and problems but just throwing out ideas.

This might not be a commonly held view but in my experience societal norms and values are the only thing really protecting us. If the police come after me and the courts don't stop them nothing will make a difference, even with the best cryptography all they would have to do is threaten my family and I would always unlock it. In my view technological protections of fundamental freedoms should only be temporary stopgaps for what essentially needs to be political solutions.
It's basically Java SE + a standarized stack of technologies, that are usually used in server applications: Servlet, EJB, CDI, JSP, JSF, JTA, JPA...

Java EE is not the only way of doing serverside java apps - most of systems i've developed used tomcat + spring-* stack, which is not a Java EE platform.

I think reading this project page may help clarify what Java EE is:

I've made the point more times than I care to mention, put simply there are two ways to think about the problem. The first is that men are dominating STEM fields. The second is that women are dominating non-STEM fields.

IMO, the latter is mostly true. Less males are attending Western Universities than females, yet there is absolutely no push what-so-ever to fix this. Nobody cares about the lack of men in subjects such as Art or English Literature and certainly no initiative exists to even begin to correct this. Nobody is trying to push women into the lower 5% of jobs. Brick layers, plumbers, electricians - all well paying jobs - where is the push to get women into those?

There are fundamental differences in the sexes which favour men for some jobs. For example, millions of years of evolution means that when you take a random pack of dogs, a group of apes or a gathering of humans and allow them to discover natural social order - almost always the leader will be male. Whether we want to accept it or not, we are still just highly functioning animals.

Probably the most concerning, despicable, disgusting act of them all is a "recognition of women in... award" (rarely recognition of men of course), or the manipulation of wages to equal the "pay gap", or biasing employment, etc. To me, it says "we know women can't compete, therefore we're biasing the end result to make the outcome equal". It's like first-wave feminism meant nothing, what was the fight for equal opportunity even about if you only go on to bias towards equal outcome anyway?

The point: Equal opportunity > Equal outcome
It seems to me that the systematic incentives in place with EFX simply do not require good security.

Security is expensive. But fraud/breaches at a CC company hit the wallet directly and hence it is relatively cheaper to invest into securing their infrastructure. With EFX though, there is no direct loss of revenue; it is the CC companies that are hit. Until now there was no directly measurable effect of their security practices and so it didn't incentivize any investment. And lastly these are old organizations with old systems and a lot of momentum, and again without a correcting force.

If someone was starting up a new credit reporting agency today can you imagine the security/compliance/auditing gauntlet they would have to run through to even open the doors? Very interesting events indeed.
Read the GP comment. This is talking about walking up to any random phone and having your own environment synced to it seamlessly. For that to work, the phone would have to know it’s you with basically perfect precision. So 1 in a million is not nearly good enough for that use case.

Fellow buyer here. This is spot on.

Reddit is going down a well-trod path. First you implement something basic and allow any advertisers in to generate cash. In Reddit's case, they started with the easiest and most tolerable form of targeting--contextual.

Now that Reddit has taken outside investment that aims to turn it into the next feed-based FB competitor, they are following the playbook pretty obviously. This typically means things like:

- Improve audience data (see efforts asking for email registration, new profile pages, new tracking, etc.)

- Clear out low-quality advertisers and content that scare away big brand advertisers (see past changes to user, post, and ad policies)

- Increase impressions and ad engagement by moving from static banners to ads inserted into the feed to continually create new impressions the more someone scrolls (see Reddit's mobile app)

- Increase RPM with more expensive ad formats like video ads (see their June video ad update, starting to host video, etc.)

Reddit has a somewhat significant disadvantage in all of this in that they are starting from a place of strong privacy and user-favorable policies. This has led users to feel that they are the reason Reddit exists and the content creators and sub owners vs. the reality, which is that they are the product.

This means Reddit has an uphill battle in rolling out these revenue-driving changes, and many of the more noticeable ones have been met with fairly significant and visible user pushback. This is why the announcements are almost always bundled with other positive changes.

I would anticipate further reduction of user privacy, a site-wide conversion tag to make it easier for them to build stronger user audience profiles for retargeting and facilitate conversion tracking setup, ads inserted into user uploaded videos, images and gifs and maybe even comments to increase impressions, and attempts at monetizing influencers who get paid outside of Reddit (read: money they don't get) via promoting posts.

As a Reddit user of 12+ years, I've disliked seeing many of these changes. As an advertiser, I understand why these changes are necessary for them to be successful in the existing Google/FB duopoly. My hope is that they continue to honor user wishes for privacy as Reddit would not be what it is today without users who felt it was a safe space to anonymously post certain things. My other hope is that they start dramatically improving their ad platform since pretty much every advertiser I've asked really dislikes it, citing poor UI, targeting issues, tracking limitations, and quality issues (it definitely won't perform for everyone).
> Apple owns the software that runs on their computers. None of these problems will ever happen to Apple.

None of my Classic software runs on a modern Mac. No PowerPC software runs on a modern Mac. I think those problems do happen to Apple's users.

The one company which does take this sort of thing seriously is … Microsoft. I hate using their OS, and so I don't, but I gotta respect them for that.
I'm not giving anybody a pass, I'm just trying to understand their actual psychology instead of believing a simplified and inaccurate story. I believe that true understanding and compassion are the foundation of making the world better. You can understand a person's motivations without compromising your own beliefs.

By targeting recent visitors to a subreddit... they are essentially no longer targeting anyone.

I rarely browse the reddit homepage, but I know that most redditors do.

And what's on the homepage that most everybody who looks at it clicks through to? Any and every random subreddit you could think of.

I have seen /r/bitcoin on the homepage recently.

I have seen /r/security on the homepage recently.

I have seen /r/rtlsdr on the homepage recently.

That's ridiculous.

If I want to advertise a SDR to the "rtlsdr" crowd, I do not want to pay for impressions for every single user on reddit who has just recently viewed /r/rtlsdr because they had a quirky post which resonated with people.

> We will further assume that the distribution of Techiness is sex-specific; and that those sex-differences exist at birth and aren’t the result of later social or environmental factors.

That's a really strong assumption, and one that even the author of the "Diversity memo" didn't make, IIRC. In fact it would make sense to assume the exact opposite: Whatever the differences of "initial state" may be, they will compound over time in a "feedback loop".

Another issue: "techiness" isn't the only or even the main factor considered when hiring employees. If you consider this vaguely defined variable a function of several other variables, some not related to technology at all (e.g. cooperation, willingness to work at a major corporation, to work long hours, alma mater, other job opportunities, etc) you're left with basically no way of estimating if the standard deviation differences between males and females are, say, 1.5x or 4x.

The author also didn't combine simultaneously changes in mean and standard deviation on his analysis, and didn't consider the possibility that the traits might fit a different curve (e.g. Tracy-Widom)
According to @jamiequint, "You are also able to exclude any specific subreddits you don't want to show up on.". Would it help to simply exclude every subreddit except the one you want? You'd need a comprehensive list of subreddits, but the Reddit API at https://www.reddit.com/dev/api/#GET_subreddits_default seems like it would give you that.

While most of the comment is indeed a very detailed and interesting analysis, the last part is unfortunately looking like a "it was better before" nostalgia bias.

I'm currently writing my phd project (after having worked for 10 years in a company) and I'm absolutely stunned by the current easiness to access papers and informations compared to just 10 year ago when I left university.

I concure however that a new and real challenge is now to be able to filter the noise induced by this overwhelming volume of available information. But I don't think nostalgia is an useful tool to reach this goal.

Yup, I always appreciated how ads on reddit were tied to the subreddit I was on. Now it sounds like they're not and it's going to be the same shitstorm of irrelevant ads as on the internet at large. I look forward to seeing ads for products I already bought over and over again on every subreddit I visit.

Biometrics can't be rotated. But they also can't be phished. People have been using "biometrics" to recognize people they trust since the beginning of time, and are pretty rarely fooled. They have also been using passwords since the beginning of time, and have been being compromised since the next day, when someone walked into the enemy camp by accosting a patrolling guard and demanding the password.

The most important factor of authentication protecting a mobile device is just possession of the device. Fingerprint or face unlock adds what so far in practice seems to be a decent layer of security. Eventually I expect that it will be improved a lot by greater situational awareness on the part of the device: you won't just have to steal the phone and fool the 3d camera, but do both without ever letting the phone see, hear, or otherwise sense anything suspicious. Which is probably getting into mission impossible territory in most situations.

But even without that, in practice I think your corporate secrets would be considerably better defended by something like face id and device identity than by, say, a password and a regular old 2fa token that are both easily and simultaneously and remotely compromised by sending the target an email from yourcompany-itdept.com asking them to log in.
