It works like this: lawyers come up with a security checklist. Managers make sure the checkboxes are checked. Engineers are all ignored because fuck you, your opinion isn’t on the checklist.

It’s security theatrics, not actual security. And if you stand up for something more, get ready to quit because you won’t be listened to.

Politically, I guess it does. Half of the US would rebell if you tried to simply transplant the Singapore health care system to the US. The US is also more attractive for lobbyists because of its size.

But economically it's obviously nonsense.

He's referring to the fact that insurance companies have shifted towards a system where "patient satisfaction" is a key driver of payment. This has caused a bit of a crisis in hospitals as executives push BS programs intended to improve these scores and they often come at the expense of actual care.

It's becoming a huge issue in US hospitals

I'm going to go ahead and not recommend that people run FreeBSD on their desktops.

FreeBSD's hardware support is pretty poor - they don't even support intel graphics cards from 3 years ago - https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics#Intel_Graphics. WiFi support can also be spotty.
Ok, let me take a different angle - you say there is a "threshold."

Cliven Bundy has decided the threshold has been passed and instigates armed resistance in Nevada. Is the US government no longer legitimate and is allowed to be overthrown wholesale?
> Dualism is wholly wrong.

What do you mean by "dualism"? Substance dualism, property dualism, predicate dualism, hylemorphic dualism, etc?

Also, you speak as if dualism and some form of materialism or physicalism (there are many) are the only options available to us. What about idealism? Or neutral monism?
My read is that all of this bad behavior on the part of Levandowski (and Kalanick) and so forth will be extremely damaging if Google can come up with some kind of evidence that Uber is actually using some of its trade secrets.

Like, if Uber had a prototype that was clearly very closely related to Google's prototype, then it would be very hard for Uber to credibly suggest that the similarities are just coincidence, that there was parallel evolution or something. But without a link to something that Uber actually produced or used, what Google has is an iron-clad case that Levandowski took their IP and acted like a douchebag, and an iron-clad case that Uber was at least retroactively aware of that, and very little case that Uber took their technology.

I'm very tired of this argument that alway seems to get trotted out in an attempt to shut down discussion.

I'd love to see a US state try to do some drastic health care reforms. CA has toyed with single-payer options, though it's hampered funding-wise by the federal government, and the fact that, despite popular appearances, CA has a large segment of conservative voters.

Singapore and, say, South Carolina, have similar populations, so you'd expect to be able to implement Singapore-style healthcare on a state level if your only objection is population.

In reality, though, consensus-building and lobbying dollars tend to be the biggest obstacles to US-wide reform.

His issue was that people talk about assets as if they were theirs, not that they using them as if they were. It's quite possible that they simply don't have a dysfunctional family and can agree on what's to be done with them, hence it doesn't matter who actually owns them, and not making the distinction in conversation isn't an issue.

You also need a process for resolving ownership disputes. Facebook takes the tactic of having the person claiming ownership upload government-issued ID, which seems like it would be the only foolproof way to do so, yet they're constantly maligned for it.

Sounds like an interesting story. Have you written about it anywhere or would you care to elaborate here?
> When asked by multiple lawmakers why Equifax set up this separate site, Smith said the company's main domain was not architected to process the enormous traffic the company knew would come its way after the announcement. In all, Smith said, the independent breach-response site has had 400 million consumer visits, which would have crumpled the main site.

Apparently they've never heard of subdomains, static pages, reverse proxies, and <insert many other solutions anyone on HN could come up with off the top of their heads>?
Wow they are great! Anyone know of similar things?
Templates are good for some things but they only do a fraction of what code generators can do. With code generation you can generate types from database tables, web APIs, etc. You can do things like declaratively declaring database views and generate huge chunks of an application. It can handle all sorts of boiler plate code that you can't do with templates alone.

Just to elaborate on this, the CPU performance of the T420 should not be a concern. The T420 (and T430) use 35 watt processors, whereas modern ultrabooks use 15 watt processors. A T420 from 2012 can beat today's base model Macbook Air handily in CPU performance despite the technology upgrades in the past 5 years; it will just produce more heat doing it. And that's before the possibility of a quad core upgrade.
Oh, yes. Yes, he is.

And he's even more directly telling Uber's lead attorney in the case that he (Alsup) doesn't care what consequences he (the attorney) gets for playing stupid (and unethical) hide-the-document games during discovery, because those consequences are his own fault.

Uber's behavior in this case has been one of three things: behavior of those who don't think the rules apply to them, behavior of those who are unaware of how badly the court can hurt them, or behavior of those who have something that they are desperate to hide.
Dude, that is most definitely not true. It is true that implants being done today often contain metal that could be safe for future MRIs, but implants from more than just a few years ago are generally very dangerous. In my case my implant is not at all safe, and the surgeon absolutely should've known that. There is a general sense of ignorance among lots of medical community there for some reason.
I agree. It's refreshing to see a company not jumping on the completely flat, mono-color bandwagon.

Blame the IT peon. Yeah, right. Every single time.
The data literally is the blockchain.

Ethereum provided two types of data storage. One you pay for bytes used but your script has access to this like normal memory.

Return the identity division to the states. No more SSN for everyday use. Every state will provide an ID, and most people already have one, and each identification has a serial number. That number is how you identify yourself to private companies. The only people who should be using your SSN is the federal government.

Problems may arise:

1) What if you don't want an ID? Ok give them the number, skip the ID and photo, and go forth.
2) What about people who don't want to be know and forego identification? I'd say you have little choice, it's extremely hard to remain off of SOME database.
3) ID's cost money. Whose going to pay? That's a good federal grant question. Each state gets refunded for the trouble.

#2 is the most disturbing to me, simply because it's SO SIMPLE. Know your environment, patch it. My guess would be the reason their security scanners didn't alert to the missing patch was that they scanner had not been updated. Again, SO SIMPLE, get updated definitions anytime you scan.

#4 I'm fine with, the CEO meeting on IT security quarterly sounds adequate to me. His involvement in IT security should not extend beyond ensuring policy is in place and being acted on. Quarterly is more than adequate to ensure this is being done.
I observed people making posts including specific technical details of the firearms used (like magazine capacity and rate of fire), and when pressed to explain where they got the numbers since they were unrealistically high, they admitted that it was all inferred from a few brief video clips.

Unless it turns out that the shooter was using a literal belt-fed machine gun (and one with an impressively high rate of fire at that), people were simply drawing dumb conclusions from the raw footage and some headlines because they assumed it painted a complete picture. That's not a fake news problem, but it is a problem.
> Threaded code should have better branch prediction behavior than a jump table with a single dispatch point

This is not the case anymore, at least for modern Intel processors. Starting with the Haswell micro-architecture, the indirect branch predictor got much better and a plain switch statement is just as fast as the "computed goto" equivalent. Be wary of any references about this that are from before 2013.

For more info, I would recommend "Branch Prediction and the Performance of Interpreters - Don’t Trust Folklore", by Rouhou, Swamy and Seznec. Pdf link: https://hal.inria.fr/hal-01100647/document

> although indirect branch prediction should help even the field.

Indeed :)

-----

Fun story: I experimented with adding indirect threading to the Lua interpreter and was excited to find an improvement of up to 30% on some selected microbenchmarks (running on my IvyBridge workstation). But the improvement dropped to 0% when I tested it on a machine with a Haswell processor. Measuring with perf indicated that the improved branch predictor was indeed responsible for this.
I used to work at aol. Neither company trusted the others networks or security processes. Integration planning meetings were like negotiating a prisoner exchange.
"You don't have to care, though you might be grateful that they are profitable and thus able to pay your salary."

Companies in Europe are profitable, too.

"So, it's in your best interest that they continue to be profitable."

I wasn't asking why I should care that they're profitable. I was asking why I should care why they're more profitable.

"You are, of course, perfectly entitled to not care one iota. You don't need my permission to do that."

So your answer to my original question of why I should care that companies in the US are more profitable while offering crappier benefits to employees than European companies is that I really shouldn't; and that it's a raw deal for everyone else.
>> User accounts? Really? This is Yahoo we’re talking about. You really do need user accounts to run an email service

> Exactly, regardless of that companies keep asking users for a whole collection of personal data, not always making it obvious which fields are actually required

You literally don't need any user information to run an email service. You only need a means to identify them which could just amount to giving them a long, randomly generated password. Even the username is only necessary for the purpose of being able to identify them as a recipient, not for login itself.
Right. I think it's code for "I think domain means website, and our technical folks said our existing corp site didn't have the capacity, so we told them to setup a 'completely separate site'".

sounds like that isn't fully privatised but is rather a hybrid.
There's a mantra at my company that you can't assign blame for a problem to a particular person. If one person is capable of breaking your system, you have a bad system. The focus isn't on finding the one person or the one mistake that caused it, but fixing the process so one person or one mistake can't wreak that much havoc. I think it's a very good philosophy.
I'm the same. Take risks? No thanks. Give me boring any day. The last time we took the kids to Disneyland I realized that I'm more of a Jungle Cruise kind of guy than that Indiana Jones ride.

At this point though it seems we have more than enough comparisons and data telling us to do something. They’re all going to be nearly night and day in terms of comparison to what we have currently.

I was about to mention the GDPR - it definitely is a step in the right direction. I don't think that it doesn't go far enough - compared to previous regulations, it is quite severe, and it already is a pain to implement as it is. If it went any further, many companies would probably not even bother and somehow do their business outside the EU, or just prepare to be fined

> if they do store additional info, and their servers are breached, then automatic hefty fines should be paid (right after the mandatory notification to authorities and the public).

This is already in the GDPR - you have to notify everyone affected about breaches, and the fines can go up to 20 million or 4% of annual turnover, whichever is greater.
