> Us-east-1 is where all the shiny new features are released

Not true at all. It'll be among the first for newer features, in as much as the US regions usually are among the first, but it's certainly not the first place code is deployed to.

All services in AWS start out software deployments in smaller regions where the blast radius of a software bug is likely to be smaller.
The other way to deal with this would be to not do anything right now and exclude yourself form the class action.
In case something would be to happen you have the option to sue for full face value as long as it can be proven that this hack is related or the cause, but again that is a big if.

And i'm not a lawyer just thinking out loud.

You don't have regulation forcing companies to share infrastructure with competitors in the US? Like the electrical grid or water pipes?

Why is net neutrality different?

>I honestly don't understand why people think that net neutrality is a better solution than a (currently non-existant) federal policy to remove state and local regulations that created ISP oligopolies which limited internet freedom in the first place.

Skytorrents.in is serving malicious ads
skytorrents.in claims on several parts of its website that it is ad-free. That's their whole schtick: "Complete Privacy, Zero tracking (NO Cookies, NO javascript , NO ads)".

However, on every page but the home there is a huge "Get VPN Now for FREE" ad. Worse: clicking on it downloads clearly malicious software disguised as Adobe's Flash Player.

We're all familiar with the dismal state of advertising on the web, but coming from a torrents site that is doing it while promising it won't should raise huge red flags.
At that point between their dominance in ads and their dominance in browsers I could see other ad providers getting very upset and asking the government to intervene. And I think they may be right.

Will the government do anything? I doubt it.
This is an important point: even a finite search space quickly gets out of hand in practical terms. I've worked a bit on bounded verification which comes down to comparing loop-free programs with finite inputs for equality. It is not easy in practice! Modern approaches use sophisticated proof search algorithms (ie SMT solvers) and still struggle to scale beyond relatively small and simple programs. I don't know the numbers off-hand because verification was not the bottleneck in my application, but I suspect that even sophisticated modern methods scale poorly beyond a few hundred instructions or for large inputs (ie algorithms with complex behavior over arrays).

If you have a function that takes a single 32-bit floating point input and runs in, say, 100 cycles, you can test all the possible inputs in a couple minutes or so. If you have multiple floats as inputs or the function is more complex, you can exhaustively check it with an SMT solver or the like. If your function depends on hundreds or thousands of inputs and has complex looping logic, you probably can't exhaustively check it with any automated solution.

Real programs, of course, are orders of magnitude more complex than even the last example. Verifying them automatically is effectively impossible even if they have finite inputs, guaranteed bounds on loops and are "trivial" in the mathematical sense.

If you're paying that particular nanny for exceptional value that is provided on the basis of her individual relationship with you, that's great and a good idea.

If you're paying it to whoever the nanny happens to be because you feel guilty about being rich, that's got less of a rationale behind it.
> That's exactly what a tagged union does. std::variant is a tagged union.

Not exactly. std::variant is one particular type of a tagged union, where the only discriminant is the type. You can also have a tagged union where the discriminant determines some semantic state, and multiple such states may store the same type of value. That's still a sum type, still a tagged union, and not something std::variant can do.
I think you're looking for the phrase `probable cause`. If the officer has probable cause to think you crossed the border, they can search you. I'm not a lawyer, but i think they can search you anyway. It just won't be admissible in court.

edit

to clarify, US law pushes police right up to the edge. there is a preference for false positives rather than false negatives. it's more important to catch all of the criminals than it is to inconvenience some innocent people. The risk of letting one criminal go is much more than cost of detaining a doctor for a couple of hours.

Now, we're in this weird time where that doctor can have 20 years of hippa protected medical records in their pocket that they might be forced to disclose. Historically, that doctor may have some records in a briefcase, but not tens of thousands.
I'm familiar with the approach from other languages that the article tries to import into C++ before concluding that the designers should watch out for language envy (incidentally, Stroustrup wrote a paper on efficient type matches: http://stroustrup.com/OpenPatternMatching.pdf ). The author picks a particular approach and then shows that the approach isn't satisfactory. But the author did not go back to try another approach.

If the visitor approach is acceptable but has_alternative is not, get<> also accepts index values (as numeric template parameters, e.g., get<0>(v), get<1>(v), etc.) and variant has a method called index() to give a numeric value saying what the current type is. This is easy enough to use in a switch statement:

std::variant<int, double, std::string> v;
...
switch (v.index()) {
case 0:
std::printf("%d\n", std::get<0>(v));
break;
case 1:
std::printf("%f\n", std::get<1>(v));
break;
case 2:
std::puts(std::get<2>(v).c_str());
break;
}

In this case you can add a default: branch and throw an error for unhandled types, or you can hope that the compiler issues a warning about a missing case (index is constexpr, so it's possible for the compiler to know that you've missed something). It's not as good as a compile error, but it might be good enough.
Isn't this basically the halting problem?
It doesn't say that anywhere on the website. The language used is specifically vague to accommodate a wide range of fee percentages.

To play devil's advocate here.

you clicked on download instead of install. now, to be fair, download shouldn't be on the main screen imo but still install is more in line with what you were looking to do so it should have been the thing you clicked on. Cloning the repo is installing it if you have emacs installed already.

It's open source so this can verbiage can be fixed. It's not a stand alone editor as it's a bunch of configurations to emacs.

https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs has better onboarding docs than the homepage does.

At the end of the day it's a question of how much customization you want out of an editor. Reading the tone in your comment seems like you didn't want it to be successful at all anyway.

Why is it not "fair"?
You earned that money, its yours to spend or invest how you see fit. If your company would have failed, you would have lost not only money, but also time, and the opportunity cost of doing something else (aka being an employee).
And because it has bindings to C, it has bindings to a lot of other languages traditionally compiled to machine language, such as Fortran and C++, making SciPy possible, because that optionally depends on LAPACK, which is written in Fortran.

https://www.scipy.org/scipylib/building/linux.html

Of course, the people who just install and run SciPy don't need to know that, but the fact Python has a nice C FFI means it can run literally decades' worth of software across a fair number of languages.
I don't see what is important about that.

Actually yes. Airflow has cron support baked in, when you run a task you can give it a cron schedule. It then takes care of running your tasks when scheduled.

Over last 10 or so years there were various conflicts between open source projects and Apple that were caused by absence of publicly accessible version history for open source code shipped by Apple as part of OS X. Probably most significant such conflict was around KHTML/WebKit (and I somewhat believe that Chrome was at least partially Google's reaction to that)
That sounds like irrational threat-modeling based on paranoia: you're so focused on one concern (abuse by a closed-source vendor) that you're accepting routine abuse by other vendors to avoid the theoretical abuse.

Your concern seems like a security negative.

Also, Apple has demonstrated a great deal of care in the statistics we know they collect, eg by making it impossible to determine your actual input while collecting aggregate statistics.

So it is a theoretical concern, but in any practical threat model, it's also a better concern to have than the alternatives.
I now have most of my money invested. I don't actually do anything, I don't even make many of my investment choices.

Some things I am involved physically in, for example, I bought a bunch of acres with an in-place commercial wild blueberry harvest. I like to be active with that, but I don't really have to. I just enjoy the work.

When I sold, I spent like a drunken sailor, after taxes. However, I've since recouped all of that spending and then some.

It's much easier to make money when you have money to start with. Or so it appears. Most of it, I leave alone and have managed for me.

> But we experience the world as having colors, sounds, tastes, so where do those come from?

I argued a few comments above that those experiences are the product of the powerful modeling apparatus of the human brain, the same thing that likely enables our broad intelligence, turning inward on itself.

Those experiences are the manifestation of the system modeling itself: its sensory inputs, internal states and processes, and, in a recursive fashion, some of the modeling processes themselves. The richness of these experiences gives us a clue at how sophisticated the modeling ability of the brain actually is.
Value add is not always how people get paid. For instance, say a GOOG/FB/APPL driver drives 100+ engineers and saves them 100 hours/ride on commuting time. That doesn't mean that the driver reasonably deserves the cost of 100 hours of engineering time per ride even though he does provide that service.

But yes, I do agree that it would significantly raise the wages if we were able to collectively bargain.
Monitoring Isn't Observability
I might be missing a joke, but food also has a unique regulatory and logistical nature. Amazon and Walmart.com have had trouble expanding to groceries for this very reason, and that's why they've been partnering with or acquiring grocery delivery startups.

Food essentially requires its own supply chain and has its own health regulations. Consumer preferences for food shopping also seem to be distinctly different from preferences on other classes of products.

Almost. Its answer is a direct consequence of Rice's theorem (“A Turing machine can't decide non-trivial properties on Turing machines given as input”), which is itself proven using the undecidability of the Halting Problem (“A Turing Machine can't decide whether Turing Machines given as input stop.”).
Tangential, but I was very confused by the chants of "the Jews will not replace us" during the nazi rally in Charlottesville. It was more understandable in 1920's & 30's Weimar Germany, given the social and economic context at the time - but I wonder in what capacity they see 'Jews' as replacing them?

You're right, it has been. It doesn't always have to be, though; computers (technology) are supposed to make our lives better, not worse.

A "service representative" (i.e., a real human directly in front of you) could have taken a look at that legal paperwork -- signed by a judge, mind you, and likely imprinted with an official stamp from the clerk -- that Manning was carrying and came to the correct conclusion rather quickly.

At the worse, the rep. might have had to get up, walk 20 feet, and have his/her supervisor also review and approve it. At that point, it would have just taken a few moments to update the information in the computer and the problem would have been resolved permanently.
The issue is that they can compel you to unlock the phone and then make an image of the phone's contents which would allow them to clone it to another phone. They would then have full access to everything on your phone including any linked accounts and cloud services.

Yeah, that's why I put it in quotes. From an effort point of view, both mental and physical, I don't really do a whole lot but I make significantly more than people who do much more.

From a sort-of-physics view, I get more work out of less energy than most. It's not equal. It's okay, it's just not well balanced from an objective viewpoint. I am not sure if 'fair' is the right word.

And how that wealth is used.

The article begins with a dubious premise, namely, that how much wealth a person has is of moral consequence per se AND a matter of public concern. It isn't. (Side note: many people regard any discussion about income and assets with people other than a few select individuals in poor taste regardless of income.) As Harry Frankfurt has written, inequality is not interesting or relevant per se. What is relevant are things like poverty or the buying of influence.

An obsession with inequality per se stems from either confusion about what is relevant, moral confusion, jealousy or fondness for ham-handed and even immoral solutions to problems of public concern that the misuse or pursuit wealth can create.

iOS does the same after 48 hours of not being unlocked or re-authorized. I agree that this seems like a decent security compromise. Anyone with physical access to your phone for more than 48 hours has other vectors to pursue that are far easier than just trying to guess your password.

> Since there is a short supply of software engineers, why do you think wages haven't risen?

They definitely have, at least for the high end of the market. For example, Hired shows a 3.28% increase in salaries for SF engineers this year. [0]

> I suspect that's because businesses manipulate that so they can hire offshore workers cheaper.

I'm positive that open salary initiatives are not an attempt to hire H1B workers. I'm talking about things like this: https://stackoverflow.com/company/salary/calculator

I bet Stack Overflow doesn't even have H1B workers.

> I seriously doubt you are getting a tenth of what you make for the company. There's only so far you can go by yourself.

I know how much my new employer makes per employee, and I make well more than a tenth of that. I'd suspect I capture around 30-40% of my value.

> Also, you wouldn't have to fight for 6 months to get a decent monitor, it will just be there.

You and I seem to occupy very different segments of the tech industry. Every single employer I've ever worked for has given me carte blanche to request whatever equipment I need on my first day of work. Only stupid or nearsighted employers quibble over <$5k in equipment expenses for an employee they pay hundreds of thousands per year.

> Do you think it would be a good negotiation if your company only got 1/100th of the profits of the joint venture? That's probably what you are getting now.

Why would I accept 1/100th of the profits of the join venture? I negotiate very aggressively—in fact, I'd argue that I once captured more than my value from a previous startup which ended up failing. I don't expect to capture 100% of the value, since the company is also providing resources which allow that value to be created (ex. significant existing scale).

If I negotiate in a group, I have to accept the outcome of the outcome of the group. I have no interest in making what the average programmer makes.

> Wouldn't it become similar to a typical bank run

Yes and no.

User behavior drives the market price, certainly. But "bank runs" are only bad because of fractional reserve.

When the bank essentially loans out 80-95% of their assets in order to create more loans/credit (thereby creating $4-19 in new credit for every $1 in reserves), the run can empty reserves and there is pressure for the bank to call in loan repayments early.

BitCoin exchanges (in their core exchange role) don't create credit. They simply convert one currency into another. If an exchange also lends (so users can buy cryptocurrency "on margin"), it is acting in another role, one which is susceptible to "a run no the bank".
As Apple is not developing this software in the public, it would not make sense to put it on GitHub or any other code hosting site. The usual approach is that Apple throws bits over the wall where you can pick them up months after the end-user release. And even these code drops will be thoroughly cleaned before, so that for example kernel sources do not contain any trace of support for ARM or anything else related to the iPhone – all of that is strictly closed source.

Software they take in from BSD, other open source projects, or some common Linux tools might also get patched. However, such patches are never actively submitted back to the projects, but only published on this website.

The sources published for macOS on this website are mostly licensed any variant of the BSD/MIT licenses, or the Apple Public Source License, or the GPLv2. Apple avoids the GPLv3 for legal reasons due to its patent clause. That is why they often ship only the most recent GPLv2 release and ignore all later updates, for example GNU make 3.81 or bash 3.2. There might also be some other licenses in the mix, such as the Artistic License for Perl and related software.
Ruby also has gem.
This is not necessarily a bad thing. Unions began as something really good - worker protection - but they've evolved into something more akin to organized crime. From preventing access to jobs, intimidation and threats, to demanding an end to the secret ballot, and going beyond labor to more of a political organization.

It depends on what services you are exposing. If it's just SSH and HTTP, the risk and difficulties are really low if you follow a few simple rules. The bonus is that you can learn many interesting things in an experiential, personal way.
If you want to tease the startup out, then you can run the game with a null or extremely small input set and then discount the time it takes to run a small/null workload from the actual run.

But really, if they hurt, then they get hurt. There's only so many knobs you can turn and so many runs you can run before you have to assemble a table and submit your paper. They put all the code online so you can try it yourself.
You can already do that via cross compiling with osxcross[0], but you need the native SDK (you can copy it from any Mac). I have used it at the past as a part of a (Linux hosted) build process to create OSX binaries for some (GUI) stuff i was working on (the same process created Linux and Win32 binaries too).
