I agree with you, but I'm apples/applesing that service with an HSM and deliberately keeping the interface minimal, just for the sake of argument. The subtext is my worry that normal developers on HN don't really understand why HSMs are operationally secure --- minimal attack surface, not magic hardware.

Intel Coffee Lake Core i7-8700K review
(author here)

Trying to compare costs between BigQuery and Redshift/Snowflake is really, really hard because of their different pricing models. I tried to be very explicit about what assumptions I am making so people can make their own judgements. You are correct that a single-user sending queries to the warehouse is not realistic, but it should still produce an accurate price comparison. Here's my logic:

* Suppose I were to send 10 times as many concurrent queries to the same warehouse. That would drop the effective cost-per-query by 1/10, which makes BigQuery look 10 times worse.

* But suppose these queries now take 10 times as long. According to my formula, that makes the effective cost-per-query 10x larger, which makes BigQuery look 10 times better.

As long as the performance of the warehouse is linear-ish with respect to number-of-users, these two effects should cancel each other out.

It seems to me that this could be improved with a few handy shortcuts.

Because it is actually running your commands in an actual interpreter, executing unplanned commands is only a problem because you can't input it. Having a few keystrokes to go back, edit/enter a command, go to line N, would make this problem disappear.

Or do it the other way, and have a keystroke insert the next line from your script. Like Ctrl-R, but at the speed of my typing.
What that tells me is that they haven't yet come up with the right featurization - that is, the function that maps input data into the actual neural network node values. The appropriate featurization would include the time information but reduce its dimensionality by hard-coding some basic assumptions, of the kind that humans presumably make when processing the same data.

That's noble, but "living" shouldn't be the focus of discourse because there's much more to life than just "living".

It's already the case that if you don't work, you can "live". We should focus on making sure everyone can work if they want to, and their work will pay enough, which is the real problem at hand imo.
> Middle America generally lives in the suburbs and does not interact with homeless people everyday

Sure they do -- there's plenty of homeless people in the suburbs these days, it's just a different interaction.

It's homeless people standing on the sides of freeway offramps and stripmall driveways, dying in front of them on the grassy lawn road medians. It's handing change to a homeless person in the stormwater road ditch while you wait at a red light.

I think ORMs are there to make developing easier - but doesn't obviate the need for the user to understand how the underlying database works. For one based on my understanding of their use-case, could've used a validation :on => :create only. Likewise, if case-insensitivity is needed, they can enforce that on record insertion or, if they're using something else like MySQL, just use case insensitive collation. The fact that I know how to write SQL doesn't mean it's always easier/faster/better than using an ORM...

Except that the employee can walk away from an employer who doesn't pay enough and still keep the UBI.

And the demand for labor at $3/hour is huge. People making even $40K/year would stop doing their own laundry or washing their own cars if they could hire someone to do it for that price. Good luck convincing anyone to work for $1/hour when everyone else is paying more.

Moreover, even if someone could only get a job for $1/hour, what is that supposed to change? Then they get a job at $1/hour + UBI, they don't starve, and the second someone offers $2/hour they trade up. Or they decide that their time is worth more than that to themselves and spend it volunteering to gain experience or going to school or whatever. Which one of these is supposed to be a problem?

> Edited my post a bit because I completely misread your comment.

No worries. Sorry if I was hard to understand.

> people with minority names on their resume get significantly less callbacks?

Assuming this is a consistently-reproducible finding (I'm aware of at least one study that finds no disparity), how far can we extrapolate this finding? On this basis alone, can we conclude that pay is lower for employed minorities than otherwise equivalent whites/males, or that workplaces are more hostile? Is it sufficient to change policy? Can we extrapolate this to tech specifically? Should we fire people who openly question our extrapolations?

> Not every bias test uses it.

No, but most do, and it's considered to be the best bias test in social psychology (a very low bar, due to the difficult and complex nature of divining motives). If you throw away the racial-bias research predicated on the IAT and other unreliable tests, what remains is largely anecdote.

> The idea that the media is pro-minority when we still have the media pissing themselves over kneeling in protest is silly.

I don't see why; rightly or wrongly, most of the media is sympathetic to the BLM side of the issue. Media reporting is widely considered (by the left and right) to be socially left-leaning, and it's self-evident that the media goes to great lengths to show minorities in the best-possible light. Of course some outlets are exceptions--like Fox News--but exceptions don't disprove the rule. Even if the media are horrible racists (90% of journalists are Democrats, so we should expect them to favor a pro-minority narrative, but even assuming this isn't the case...), they are compelled by self-interest to at least appear pro-minority (in which case, they are still pro-minority for all relevant purposes).

With sincere respect, if you really think the media is anti-minority, I don't see how you and I can have a reasonable, agreeable, productive conversation about bias in tech, and maybe we should just let this thread die.

That was my question... I have never heard the word "bodega" is a negative context.

Nearly everything (especially having to do with food) is a cultural reference of some kind -- nothing bad about that.

And a lot is not very authentic and may count as some kind of "appropriation". That's not really avoidable when cultures mix (as they do in the US).

> 2^80 is not very weak. That's the level of brute forcing a SHA-1 collision. It's low for a new system, but not very weak.

Note that the 2^80 figure from Peter's blog post is really unsubstantiated. There's another curve in libsnark (which we don't use) that has 80-bits of security. I suspect what happened is whoever Peter was consulting with just repeated this number to him. We've spoken to many cryptographers who are experts on these curves, and none of them think that figure is reasonable. I actually don't believe there are _any_ cryptographers that have publicly made such a claim about the security.

2^96 was the original conservative estimate when the NFS attack was discovered, but subsequent analysis showed concrete security closer to 2^110 (and that's ignoring the unrealistic memory costs of the specific attack.)

> How can they not have the basics of a secure toolchain?!?

We provided participants with a reproducibly built and stripped down version of Alpine Linux, employed grsec, wrote all of our crypto software in pure Rust, etc. All of our software is reproducibly built, hashed and signed. There is nothing (software-wise) that cannot be caught in post-hoc review. All of it is open-source: https://github.com/zcash/mpc

Several academic papers regarding our protocol have been published since then. We wrote a full security proof of the crypto. We hired NCC group to audit the ceremony as well: https://z.cash/blog/ceremony-audit-results.html

More auditing can always be done but this is a continuing process. The primary goal is to make it difficult for someone to undetectably compromise the ceremony.
Relative to what? Are we even considering the environment these humans were raised in?

You know it's no wonder no aliens have come to visit us, we're such a huge bummer we get caught in a knot for even congratulating ourselves for putting forth a good faith effort to improve.

It could have a bit of a "serious air", but don't let this intimidate you, it's not that academic. Also you don't need to read it all to grasp the most prominent benefits.
Chapter 2 and 3 have a lot of juice (I remember in particular the part on generic operations and the symbolic algebra example in ch. 2 and the streams in ch. 3).
If you decide to read it all, in the end you'll learn how to write an interpreter for the scheme language, and this will ingrain a very deep understanding on how an interpreter (and even a compiler to a degree) works.
But as I said, write the code yourself while you read the book. It will be easier to follow and much more fun!

aside from compilation time, inlining doesn’t mean your program will run faster, because now you’re filling your icache with the inlined instructions rather than a call instruction, that might be flushed away on a missed branch prediction.
ORMs are great for prototyping new business systems. The performance is not great, but when your priority is to quickly model business logic into something functioning, there are few better tools for it.

However, if you have well-defined requirements and are expecting high-volume traffic from the get-go, then it could be wise to skip the ORM.
> Exactly why ORMs are a bad idea

I'm not a full-out fan for ORMs but... this is not an ORM issue. It's an issue with an ORM of the ActiveRecord variety that pushes database-logic back to code level for some strange reason. The ORM I'm most familiar with (Doctrine2, Object Mapper pattern) doesn't do this. It does other weird stuff, but not this.
I had a loss in total comp, however, my wife and I are not your typical consumerist-minded people, we like to save and invest.

Eh, I would say that Rick incompletely rejects his softer side rather than keeping it hidden.

He doesn't want to care about anyone or anything; it is how he copes with living in a crap-sack multiverse where he regularly sees himself or his family die, or even kills them himself. Hell, we don't even know that his S1 family was his original family; he abandoned them easily enough in the Cronenberg episode. For all we know, his Beth did die as a child like in his (false) memory in S3E1. He might have returned years later to a different universe, one abandoned by another Rick. We don't know that Morty is his original Morty; the memories in the flashback episode could have been collected from dozens or hundreds of Mortys who didn't make it. Heck, even Rick isn't the original Rick; he has body-hopped through several incarnations on-screen.

So he rejects all meaning, but he's still a human with irrational attachments, so sometimes he will stop and do something for someone else. But to him, it's the same as his crippling substance abuse, just one more weakness being indulged for his momentary gratification.

FWIW I was concerned folks would get caught up on the password storage use case since so many are familiar with that problem. The crux of the idea of crypto-anchoring is to segment crypto operations in to dedicated microservices and use those minimal microservices to do per record encryption, decryption, or signing. HSMs are a natural extension to those microservices if you have budget.
He kills himself at the end if I recall correctly, unless you consider moving out of the way of his attacks as killing him.
In the strict sense, as in "rejects all metaphysics AND all morals", I'm not sure I've ever seen a truly nihilistic character in any medium (the Joker might be one of the closest, though he might also be seen as being driven by highly warped morals instead). So on the subject of Rust: He does reject all metaphysics, but when it comes to morals, while he does not reject them completely, his relativism and pessimism, his struggle to find any sense in them, to justify why he acts like good or bad existed even if he doesn't truly believe that they do, that all leaves him closer to nihilism than we almost ever see in characters even if it is not 'truly' nihilism in the strict sense.

That article was interesting. I've been a truck driver, with recurring jobs throughout San Francisco, and can attest to how nerve-racking it can be. In order to drive trucks there successfully, you have to know the roads really well, as your GPS is often worthless (so many different rules, changing conditions, unpredictable drivers/cyclists/pedestrians, as well as truck-specific restrictions). From a pedestrian safety perspective, I really appreciate that there are companies that are prioritizing San Francisco as a testing ground.

I still think Seattle is more difficult to drive in. The streets are narrower (most residential streets are two way, but only wide enough for one car width, requiring drivers to negotiate with other drivers on how to proceed). There are far more 3,5,6 and even 7 way intersections[0]. Just as many hills as San Francisco, but the several poorly-intersecting street grids give the hills much worse visibility. And I'm willing to bet we have way more construction than San Francisco.

That has nothing to do with Silicon Valley; don't conflate issues. The widening wealth inequality in this country is a product of much larger forces, don't blame people simply because they've happened to have found a modern-day trade which lets them eke out a middle-class lifestyle in the current economy.

It seems like you're the one shifting blame, onto people who have no power to change the situation. How about taking a look at DC, Virginia, and NYC, where the real power is?

Nah, it's easier to complain, stoke divisions, and take potshots at people slightly higher up the ladder than you. Classic crab bucket mentality.

Sorry you feel abandoned. However, as you say you are an early adopter you should recognize this is a strong (even likely?) possibility.

Yes, if the platform you invest in early is a success you can reap many rewards. But the mobile OS market has killed many platforms, and even a successful company like Microsoft can't guarantee success.

We can play what-ifs in hindsight, but it's not like Microsoft was late to the game. I remember Windows CE and Pocket PC. My guess (and hope) is for Microsoft to make an Android phone. They just announced a launcher, so fingers crossed!
> Android-on-Windows compatibility layer

This was one of the big mistakes made by OS/2 when they were competing against Windows. They created a compatibility layer for Windows applications, which meant that developers never wrote native apps for their platform, leading to a very poor user experience and gave Windows a leg-up on its competition. I doubt Microsoft wants to make the same mistake.
Sure but the other languages such as C++ could be directly supported. The APIS could be copied and renamed. Not hard to duplicate the functionality without seeing the internals, just time consuming.

I don't think Microsoft has the best work culture in the world, but this is just a cartoonishly evil caricature.

The only way to immunize yourself and others against these sorts of tactics is to understand these fallacies so that you can recognize them before you are irrationally swayed.
