This kind of thing breaks the HN guidelines, which ask you to
"please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize."

Your interpretation was far from the strongest plausible. As a result, we got a weak and ranty subthread terminating in such hellpoints as "Your America bashing is completely uncalled for". Avoiding that is why we have the guidelines, so would you please read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and follow them more carefully from now on?

You are assuming the implementator can think of everything. Innovating however, assume to come up with something you haven't thought before.
No system is actually flawless. That's pretty much impossible. It's far more likely the latter.

Apart from what acomjean mentioned already (which is definitely an influence), the ROI on such a hack is pretty low. The PS4 was released 3-4 years ago and the PS3 was discontinued anywhere from 1-3 years ago, both depending on your region. In any case, it's an old system and people have moved on to newer and shinier consoles.

The PS3 has also had hardware-less exploits in the past, CFWs were all the rage. It's not like it's never been exploited or anything. The ECDSA private key used for signing software was released, even.
for some other reason, the Thinkpad line was never affected.
Agreed, but it does run at 60fps on my 2015 macbook pro running macOS Sierra
I assume this is meant for use of none sensitive data? What do you do with the uploaded files?
I think this guy sounds like an over-entitled sheltered snowflake. If you have the sense to get into Google, then it follows you have the sense to go and get a job anywhere else on the planet. Who cares if Google didn't work out? There is no dearth of interesting work going on in the world today. Go find it.

That said everytime I watch Sunder Pichai doing his pseudo Steve Jobs routine I get a headache at how superficial and unimaginative Google is. I am not at all surprised at the shallow culture.

I can download a google spreadsheet to CSV also. I agree that you are faster to setup to upload a csv

For some reason you can't upload directly on a google sheets website but you can do the following workflow:

1. Open google drive and drag it to there

2. Open the file on google drive and select spreadsheets.

I like your faceted queries and the JSON format might be appealing. Also Google sheets has an API. https://developers.google.com/sheets/api/

Is my information that I upload public to anyone or private?
Hack/HHVM is breaking compatibility with PHP. MediaWiki is a large PHP software project. Other MediaWiki users run the software in non-HHVM environments.
And they certainly won't tell you "don't buy any of these things". I recently came across BabyGearLab (http://babygearlab.com), which has nice reviews of, say, different car seats or different strollers, and will tell you which one is the best if money is no object, which one is the best if you're on a limited budget, etc. But what I really want is the web site that will tell me "you don't need a smart sock". Yes, that's a thing.

Of course I can just not buy a smart sock. But I pretty much know that at some point I'm going to buy some thing that's almost as useless because it's for the baby.

Just to add to this, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fancy_Bear has links to multiple security companies which have publicly drawn the link to the Russian government.

The list of targets is also convincing: various NATO organizations but also things like the World Anti Doping Agency at the time the Russian Olympic team was being disqualified from everything. You could argue that, say, China might be interested in hacking the US or France but Eastern Europe and WADA really aren’t of interest to most other major powers.

And the Soviet Il-62. It was actually smarter than the more elegant British VC-10 as it permitted the centres of pressure ( wing position ) and gravity to be optimised for cruising rather than remaining in its main gear whilst in the ground.
After years of living in the US, I still have trouble that the word is "cockpit" not "cocktip". That became hilariously obvious when at work we had to use a library that uses the term "cockpit" for one of its main components.

The ~70% placement rate seems to refer to what percentage of applicants get full time jobs within 6 months of graduating. For within 3 months of graduating, the placement rate seems to drop to 30-40%. (See https://cirr.org/data)
Don't know about "poignant" - this reads like "I chose the wrong career and it's Google's fault" - but 100% yes, this is one of the biggest societal issues we face.

Kubernetes currently has a lot of traction in Enterprise world. Even the CEOs of the big corps currently know what Kubernetes is. That's why you need to support it in some way if you want to continue to compete. At least for the time being.

I think technically and in some regards also politically the Docker people are smarter though. In the most pro-docker comment I answered with "don't start to ignore k8s yet" and here I feel like saying "don't start to ignore docker(-swarm) yet".

The battle is ongoing and these two are both possible leaders.

Mostly because the language he used and the way he tried to promote his viewpoint was construed as hostile by almost every woman working at Google, or at least a significant number of them.

English is great but for all the "noise". Why is "the" a three letter word and not something more concise like "le" or "a"? Why is it "and" and not a single-letter "y" like any sensible language?

There's other ways of manipulating the numbers too. I attended App Academy, but as an "auditing student" meaning I paid the same price and did the same work but, according to the information, I might not get a pair to program with if the classroom count was odd.

However, I'd bet a shiny nickel that auditing students aren't part of their advertised statistics. Or at least auditing students that don't make the numbers better. I "graduated" just fine and found a job at above their salary avg, so who knows if I'm part of their numbers or not.

Edit to add: Not trying to say anything bad about AA here, I really enjoyed the program and it has been money well spent. I just wanted to chime in on the topic of "9X% of students make 6 figures after graduation"

> Nothing has changed.

Except is has, and continues to change. These changes are affect real people, people in my family, in profoundly negative ways. That you choose to ignore others doesn't mean nothing has changed. Only that you are ignorant of what is happening.
I have family that works at Google and I remember a group of their friends reporting they very much preferred the switch to consultant for Google rather than Google employee. They wanted to be outside the internal political bubble. From what I recall the distaste surrounded a lot of the performance review song and dance and promotional squabbles.
I meant I wish Google Calendar would have a resource reservation system. Rapla allows resources to be scheduled.
You cando this in Google Calendar only by separately making events for each resource's calendar.
So in terms of hardware competition, I've never had a problem going with Microsoft - Surface Pro can't be beat as a stylus-wielding note-taking beast. In classes, meetups, and hackathons as a whiteboarding tool, unbeatable.

But when it comes to actually coding, it's much less "easy" than on a MBP. Some people swear by powershell but I just did not jive with having to do that when everyone else is using bash - so I'm using WSL, which has... difficulties. Random stuff doesn't work - SSHFS for example. Obviously anything than needs a GUI, though if you config just right you can get a display server ported through to windows through some sort of godless black magic.

I know they're still working on WSL, and if they can lock that down, I think Windows machines will be fantastic all-around dev tools, especially for a very visual developer like me (I just can't get over how great it is to whiteboard on the surface pro).
No, but overstating their badness is itself bad. That is the issue. I didn't vote for Trump, I don't agree with the vast majority of things he's done, and I will vote for anyone running against him. But the astoundingly lengths of hyperbole people will go to would lead you to believe he is literally a reincarnation of Stalin and that if we don't act now the US will sink into a sea of flames, such as this gem[0] from someone who won't even use their real account, but uses a throwaway: "You might need a little emotional maturity. Crying isn't there[sic] end of the world, an idiot with nukes is."

I don't know how much more hyperbolic you can get than saying Trump is literally going to end the world. There is plenty of real things to criticize him about, you gain nothing by overstating things to the state of idiocy.

Metaballs would not be for simulating fluids but for creating the simulated fluid's surface. In your youtube link it would be a step between "simulating particles" and "meshed result".

Is that class overloaded?
As soon as I get beyond surface-level info on almost anything, I find a lot of the good stuff is locked away in academic books and papers. Papers aren't as big a problem these days (ahem) but books remain difficult. You don't even have to go that far off the beaten path, depending on the topic, to end up at "You need this book. There are four copies in libraries. All are in Europe. It hasn't been digitized. Good luck. Oh BTW hope you can read German."

My first experience with metaballs was in 3D as a feature in Truespace (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TrueSpace) where they were used for modeling.

In order to render a surface you have to either use a contouring algorithm like marching cubes to generate a mesh like the above three.js demo, or raytrace or raymarch them. Because metaballs describe a distance function, its really easy to use SDF raymarching and there is a whole category dedicated to metaball shaders on shader toy (https://www.shadertoy.com/results?query=tag%3Dmetaballs).

There has been plenty of hue and cry in the past about the rapid rate of change of Docker, and new features bundled in when many users would have preferred a more deliberate and planned change in what is to them a critical piece of infrastructure. You're assuming quite a lot.

Was my comment religious in any way? There's multiple ways that one could be held accountable for crimes against humanity, either by your government and laws or by the international community. There's really no point considering the issue from a nakedly utilitarian justification - why would you care about how many people you save then? If it's for their economic output or because of economic damage, why not just kill the poor or enslave the populace? Your stance is pure sociopathy and as such we obviously have no room for a reasoned discussion.

I find it unlikely an ICO conviction would help anyone electorally. Only tiny proportion of voters would even understand what happened. It's not like high profile corruption or murder or something everyone gets.

That's not to say they wouldn't do it to advance themselves internal to the justice system, where that kind of conviction would have forward-looking value.

Just wanted to point this out. HFT is not only really fast trading in order to gain from the typical "sell higher than you bought" scheme. Of course front-running adds no value. Though of course those companies will say that the "add liquidity". Which is BS.
My fiance is a recruiter at Google, and while she still has issues with work or has a complaint every now and then, she embraces her job and is a top performer. She finds pride in finding people that normally wouldn't think they could get a job at Google, and push them through process, and once they get hired she takes satisfaction that yes, she in fact did help change their life and or career.

Anyone can make the claim that there job sucks, or the company they work for tries to brainwash them, or maybe they feel overqualified for what they are doing. If you have an issue with your job you change it. I applaud the author for making the change, but I find it terribly unprofessional and kind of childish that he would rant about his previous employer when they didnt do anything wrong to him...
Please no. It will break compatibility with Linux and Windows. Then the MBP will be a trash for me.
Neither, I wasn't saying what people deserve, only that so many in this country suffer in far worse jobs, and don't get editorials in the Washington Post about it. My mother worked for decades as a Cashier at Safeway, and before that, as a telephone operator connecting calls at AT&T. Her actual talent: singing, she wanted to be a singer.

By comparison, this HR job was orders of magnitude better. My mom didn't have healthcare provided by her job when I was growing up in the 70s and 80s, she had almost no vacation, we lived paycheck to paycheck.

There's no voice given to these people, the truly suffering masses, in the news media. Instead, we hear the suffering of the upper middle class, who has a cushy deskjob, free gourmet food, massages, vacations, bonuses, stock, but finds their job boring. Why are we reading this story in the Washington Post and not the story of the person working 60 hours a week and living at the poverty line?

It's a question of priorities for me, not who deserves what. Every human deserves a fulfilling life, but in the grand scheme of things, the suffering visited on the author of that editorial is one of angst, not basic survival, and he's being given a microphone for grievances of being pampered with benefits.

If a trust fund baby complained he's bored with life because he still has to show up for boring meetings with his trustees, I'm sure we can find some sympathy for his ennui, but first I have to work my way through all the headlines of Puerto Ricans suffering, or those who make my iPhone.
Predictions are hard, especially about the future. Cryptocurrency is still quite risky. I made a decent living for several years as a private investor. It gets old and on average is hard work, unless you're lucky enough to get a few solid serious wins in there, which makes anyone look good. Now I have what capital I'm willing to risk engaged with "a trading pool that uses artificial intelligence" to trade cryptocurrency. There's still risk of course but it fits my desire to avoid feeling a need to be knee-deep in my investments.

Take a day off if you're so emotionally affected by something that you're unable to stop crying. Or work from home.

Anything else is likely to be disruptive to your coworkers.

I have a lot of empathy for people experiencing emotional distress, whatever the reason. I would never complain about them and would do my best to offer sympathy when appropriate. But I really shouldn't be put in that position at work, and if I was emotionally disturbed I would not come into work so as to avoid putting my coworkers in that position.

I think this is all doubly true if we're talking about the results of an election. Some of your coworkers may be happy for the same reason you're upset.
