Amen to that. I still have that reflex of "blaming" others (thinking something happens because THEY believe something instead of what I am doing) and I really have to step back from the situation and think about it. Absolutely hate it when my brain does this

Attackers can’t obtain your Wi-Fi password using this vulnerability. They can just look at your traffic. It’s like sharing the same WiFi network in a coffee shop or airport.

You are correct. Waves come from the final in spiral, before the black hole forms.

The GRB is from the rapid in fall, and friction of neutron star matter falling into the black hole.
> You're ignoring a reality where a culture has _figured out on their own_ an optimal way to navigate from point A to B in bad traffic, (mostly) safely while constraining themselves to the _intent_ of the law, if not the letter.

This is self evidently not true though. Humans are terrible drivers, and the road would be safer if all of those people who are unsafely not following the rules instead followed them.

The reality of the world that we live in is one of terrible drivers that get into lots of accidents.
Managing up is not a thing that managers expect. Managing up is something you learn in order to protect yourself from managers that can't manage. It's the skill of learning to enforce boundaries and stand up to bullies: a basic life skill for dealing with a hostile world. Your manager by definition is not in a position to teach you those skills when they are the one in need of being controlled.
I don't disagree with you that this is a good thing to do --if you know how to do it. I think you are getting pushback because your framing implicitly suggests it is Rick's fault he got fired and it does so in a way that implicitly absolves management of their role in this debacle.

Maybe your intent is more "Oh, gosh, if you find yourself in Rick's shoes, don't just let bad management crap on you like this and then railroad and scapegoat you." But that isn't what it sounds like you are saying.
Yeah, without the alliance stating what methods were used to look for attacks, its hard to take that seriously... it's the same line used in just about any security breach.

Is this attack likely to generate log evidence on affected APs in their default configuration, or is it so far down the stack that no evidence is generated and nobody could refute this claim?

It's a matter of perspective.

It looks a lot more insane when you're paid well enough to outsource those behaviors (and liability) to whoever's driving your Uber.

>I'm not that technical but I've never worked somewhere where the team wasn't able to talk about the value of tech debt etc

They can talk about it, but under scrum it has to be sold to the PO to get it prioritized. I've worked with plenty of dev teams that could talk but couldn't sell.

And it's the hardest kind of thing to sell, because the benefits are diffuse, abstract and usually long term, whereas feature stories are the exact opposite.

I've seen this whole sales pitch/pushback process fail in lots of places. Techie explains problem to PO in techie terms -> PO's eyes glaze over while they nod their head and agree that this stuff is important -> story keeps getting pushed down the backlog in favor of stories that have a concrete dollar value attached. -> quality suffers as a result.
The way you behave at work is in great part a result of the environment.

Let's say that every time you have a meeting, the manager and the client blame you for the project being late. Soon, enough, you probably gonna avoid them as much as you can or kill yourself in overtime, maybe both. It shouldn't take long before you get the reputation for being a dickhead and maybe someone will write a blog post about it.

None of this is really about you personally, it's simply the social dynamics in your work place.

I can give you a much simpler example. Put 10 people in an arena and give them a sword, gladiator style. The last standing gets to stay alive.

Partnership.

Literally everything in this world is easier with partners you can trust. Because of this I do everything with every others now.

* Real Estate - Find people you want to live with and split the cost. Everyone wins.

* Friendships - These are people who can emotionally support you, teach you, mentor you, etc.

* Marriage - For obvious reasons.

---

I'm attempting to "split everything". So far I split rent, my phone bill, all utilities, Netflix, Google Play, etc. People are rightfully concerned about the potential downside to such partnership, but I realize now, more than ever that somehow, paradoxically the more you want partners the better it will work out. The key is that you should try to make it so that all people involved have similar stake. All for one, one for all, so to speak.

TLDR: Life is a multiplayer game. Find your players immediately.

Dynamically typed doesn't mean untyped; you still have types in JavaScript. Most dynamic languages are strongly typed, not untyped. You're conflating a few unrelated things. JavaScript is duck typed, as virtually all dynamic languages are.

I don't think it works like that.

"Getting it out now" means building a very reliable, high-volume production line. If you rush that, you get an unreliable production line, which unless you just ship garbage, will be a low-volume production line or a very expensive production line. Or both.

I understand why "hair-on-fire mode" feels right. One's internal feelings of urgency are matched by dramatic action. The chaos and excitement of red alert gives nobody time for contemplation and lets everyone ignore the uncomfortable feelings that might come from that. But people in that mode make terrible choices, drastically undervaluing the long term.

In software, it's especially easy for us. Our products are rarely life critical, people are used to them being flaky, and we can fix things later by shipping new versions. None of these is true about cars. People used to ship garbage anyhow, which is why the US car market in the 70s and 80s was plagued with problems. And why Toyota and others could make such inroads.

Tesla should absolutely be taking risks, especially product feature and marketing risks. But taking quality and productivity risks in hopes that they can somehow make it up later strikes me as a terrible idea.

Terrains I usually ski at (black & double black diamonds + yellows) tend to have accidental massive avalanches (i.e. randomly stepping on some 5x5ft patch that causes avalanche to fall), so I need to be prepared for any eventuality and estimate safety of the area. I have seen people diving head first on a steep slope, causing avalanches to roll, and they telling me they couldn't move while in the flow and their lungs being super compressed, making them unable to breathe. Especially in spring you need to be super careful as even a smaller wet avalanche can easily kill you - those are usually slow and stop all the way down in the valley, sometimes taking houses with them, crushing you with weight and without any chance to escape.

If they do tell you it's not like they'll fine it binding either. Or good luck finding an error in billing in what they give you and then successfully contesting it. There area also all the ways they slap on random charges. The article mentions a $40 holding baby fee! I think a big part of why this isn't seen as a bigger problem is most people don't have direct experience with it. I've managed to be healthy and avoid any surprise medical bills so far in my life so it would be easy for me to assume this stuff would be taken care of by my insurance if anything happens. I know enough people who have horror stories to know that isn't the case though.

This is so cool because we used our ears (the LIGO detectors) to hear/feel the gravitational wave hit then used our eyes (electromagnetic radiation telescopes) to focus in on where we thought we felt the ripple. And what's more, machines all over the planet were involved. Just awe-inspiring.

Intersections are generally a problem because they are constrained by a host of other factors. Complex problem + limited budget generally result in poor implementations. However, in a large enough context you can remove buildings and move roads etc.

So, these things are very much fixable given sufficient priority and resources.

I'd explain this to Mozilla by showing evidence of high click through rates in directed and singular "Calls to Action" - whether that's downloading a browser update, pages with new products, and features.

Main source of income is taxes, but it got close there -- in 2009 the federal deficit got up to 1.413 trillion, which made debt a larger source of income for the government than income taxes and corporate taxes combined. Even without emergency spending like that, the gradual deficit increases are going to mean that soon receipts will not be sufficient to cover interest on the debt.

My point about "coming to your door" was not bitcoins vs. dollars, but taxes vs. FOMC. If the government really wants to give away the value equivalent of trillions of dollars, they have to get the money from increasing receipts, rather than just monetizing debt. They can take on debt, but they have to pay for it, rather than use accounting tricks to borrow at zero interest to support zero interest "loans".

That said, you're probably right; no effective political action is going to be taken in opposition to tax levies, especially if they're aimed at the "1%" -- by the time the 1% becomes the 30% (vis a vis AMT) people will have forgotten why they cared.

What's the general approach to the fix? Insist on a new handshake if a client sees a duplicate message #3? Just keep going with the old sequence number?

It seems like vendors need to eventually come to some consensus on how to change the protocol instead of each fixing it in their own way.
If you have a stamping plant, you usually have far fewer presses than part numbers. You stamp out some part, then change dies to stamp out another part. Die changing and adjustment is time-consuming and is non-productive downtime. Once a press and die set is running well, it will produce parts at a good rate without much attention, but die changing is labor-intensive. The less often you change, the lower the cost per unit.

The optimal batch size at the stamping plant may be quite different from the batch size the assembly plant wants. That means in-process inventory, stored somewhere.

In the scale of auto body parts, dies weigh many tons and cranes are needed to do a die change. Clamping a die into position is complicated. There are quick-change systems. They're expensive.[1][2]

What's probably choking Tesla is that they planned their stamping batch sizes for a much higher production rate than they can currently achieve. Much of the planning for the Model 3 production line was based on the assumption that not much would go wrong. They made hard tooling for parts before using prototype soft tooling to save time.[3] That's a win only if you get it right the first time.

(I once worked in an R&D facility for heavy hydraulic equipment. They had to deal with problems like this. People talked about "setup" a lot. A basic fact of manufacturing is that setup and changes are much more difficult than production. Once you get a production machine set up, it's mostly putting in blanks and taking out product, and that's often automatic. Setup requires skilled people. There's been a lot of talk about "agile production" and a "lot size of one", but the real economies still appear only when you make large numbers of something. Look at the pricing for some on-line service that makes custom things for you. There will be a big price break as the quantity goes up.)

Absolutely you can always blame the car that does the rear-ending, it is your responsibility to maintain distance and speed such that you can stop if the car in front of you slams on the brakes. Which can happen for a multitude of valid reasons, like something dropping of a truck in front, or an accident.

You will absolutely be at fault and stuck with the bill in every single rear-ending case, good luck arguing otherwise.
No. The best language is likely the one you know best. Be that Ruby, JS, Rust, or C++.

That way you can concentrate learning the principles and you’ll immediately know how to apply them.

The basic principles aren’t hard anyhow - you can learn them completely in a day. The hard part is applying them and understanding the trade offs.

Definitely. And in this case I don't think it was just knowledge that needed transferring. It was culture and values.

Obviously not, but change is inevitable. Regulation actually tends to create new opportunities for products and services. Some companies that might be impacted will fall into the endless example of those who resist change and fight valiantly to preserve their way of live, but eventually they'll either adapt or die off.
I'm currently in the process of getting my phd on this exact topic and I'm always happy to hear the problem of network interference in A/B tests being tackled at more and more tech companies. Here's a small (incomplete) list of (mainly industrial) references to solutions to this problem.

- Facebook data scientists have an extensive list of publications on the topic: [1][2]. (Dean Eckles is now at MIT).

- LinkedIn's experimentation team has also published papers on the topic: [3][4]

- Data scientists at Google have also worked on this topic. One external publication/collaboration I'm aware of is: [5]

This. If common behavior is against the rules you either need to change the typical behavior or the rules. You can't just wave your hands and say "but I was following the rules". Sure that might save your wallet if you cause a crash but that doesn't scale to the society level.
Probably better to say they violate the rules in predictable and expected ways.
yeah I think actually python and ruby do this as well …
The great part about SML is it's lack of documentation in my opinion. It prevents students from looking up answers online.
I think capitalism as a way of assigning price is ok. But opportunity cost and externalities are currently being ignored, largely due to special interests that now decide things like US tax policy in order to favor corporations and wealthy individuals.

So for example I think everyone reading Hacker News has a side project they would like to make that would take something like 6 months to implement. It might even go as far as automating their job, or disrupting entire industries like Stripe or Square did.

Instead, most of us are barely making rent. So we spend the entirety of our time doing evolutionary (rather than revolutionary) work. This is largely by design, because profit comes from an imbalance in skills. We pay more when we need something. If we fix all the problems in the world by way of disruptive 6 month startup projects, there won't be anybody to buy the stuff that they can't make themselves. That's why I look at wealth inequality as a means rather than an end. The less time/wealth we have, the more time/wealth they have.

As for externalities, well, those are handled through tax policy since governments are the only entities large enough to counter the private sector. The general trend now is to gut all science and environmental agencies. The current era reminds me very much of growing up in the 80s. Tremendous potential being squandered for short term gain.
Leaving grad school and getting a real, balanced job.
It really hit me when during an internship I asked 'is the building open on weekends', and I was told 'yes, but why would you want to be here?'
A further 'reckoning' was when I realized each year of grad school cost me 100k+. Opportunity costs.

Also if you are obese, you need to fix that sooner rather than later.

> Serious question: can anyone point me to some good stories where someone just told these hospitals to fuck off when they try to charge hundreds of dollars for a band-aid or an aspirin? I suspect that would be my response. What happens? Do they just wreck your credit by turning you over to a collection agency?

No, and in fact, self-paying (ie, uninsured) patients can pretty much always tell the hospital, "No, I'm not going to be able to pay $10,000, but if you give me a discount to $500, I can pay in cash today". Of course, most patients don't know they can do that.

> Can they be sued for price gouging? I'd love to see them legally justify before the court some of this garbage pricing that varies by tens of thousands of percent between providers for commodity items like saline, bandages, and generic drugs.

It's not really price gouging the way we generally use that term. Hospitals lose money per-patient on Medicare and Medicaid patients that they treat, and they have to make it back somehow. They way they do that is by marking up the rates for private insurers. By law, they can't present different initial prices to patients (or their insurers) based on their insurance status, so that means that uninsured patients end up seeing an initial bill that's really intended only for private insurers. Hospitals are able to discount that later on, but of course most patients don't know to ask for this.

Medical billing is separate from health insurance, and it's a whole complex messy beast in its own right.
When I did avalanche safety training, we were told your chance of surviving an avalanche with (shovel/probe/beacon) is about 50% overall. Roughly 25% of people are killed in the avalanche (before it stops). If you survive the initial avalanche, if you're buried your buddies have about 10 minutes to dig you out. After that, survival rates drop rapidly.
