As I said above; I think I didn't make my point clear enough: my concern was not about it making it easier to be comprised, but about it making the clean up pretty impossible, on a hardware level.

Software do-over is a very well accepted solution (don't bother cleaning the rootkit, just format reinstall), but hardware do-over (change the cpu) is going to be a hard pill to swallow.
"Child Vouchers" sounds like it's from 1970-s, a notorious example of not everybody getting a memo.

Lately I've been wondering if there are any HN threads whatsoever that are inappropriate for someone to come in and say that things could have been done better by using the blockchain. The answer, it seems, is self-evident.
> The start of the repo is in 2013, well before the current Red Scare.

"Well before"? The public part of the current Red Scare started over the annexion of Crimea in March 2014 (and the preceding turmoil in all of the Ukraine). 2013 is precisely the point where I would expect an intelligence agency to start anticipating it.
You're cancelling the promise from the perspective of the caller, not the Promise itself. Promises themselves can't decide that they don't want to resolve, but there's plenty of cases where whoever requested the promise in the first place is no longer interested in the results.
The law here in England already recognises other types of employment status, including a possibility of someone being a "worker" but not an "employee". The rights and protections that apply are somewhat different.

In addition, we have a variety of rules around contracting/freelancing, "gig" jobs, "zero-hours contracts", and other variations. In some of these cases there are genuine advantages to all parties of working in a certain way, but in other cases a similar-seeming arrangement may be exploitative. Successive governments have tried to deal with these issues, but unfortunately with very little achieved in terms of protecting the vulnerable while in some cases causing significant damage even if the arrangement was all above board and everyone involved was happy with it.

The last two printers I bought (sub $100 each) had WiFi and just required being unpackaged and plugged in before Linux found and used them over the network. This was probably via CUPS, but as a user I clicked on something like "Print" -> "Add a Printer" -> "Network" -> "Scan" and then hit "Next" a couple times. I use gnome3 and either Fedora or Ubuntu. Basic printing without driver preinstall has been solved for a decade at least.

In the past discussions of the ME here and elsewhere, there have always been people making self-assured poo-pooing noises about what a trivial nonissue it is, make deceptive claims about exposure, and then dumb claims about how you can't trust any hardware. They never reply to particular questions that might point out how deceptive the arguments are.

I have a contrarian position. ETH will beat out Bitcoin in 5 years because it’s a platform with smart contract programmability.
Until WebSQL gets a full spec, I personally am completely against it.

Right now it's defined as "What SQLite does", which is not a way to implement a standard.

Not to mention that even if they did create a full "specification" for the SQL that it uses, it seems like way too much to force onto a browser to develop for not all that much benefit.

Safari and Chrome both support it, but it's not going to get any major updates and only exists in the browser today because it was added at one point.
Agreed. See my pie in the sky reply to majewsky in sibling comment - but yeah, no easy way for the average man to 'punish' big bad Intel it would seem.

Perhaps another technique to punish them is via class action lawsuit - with all the companies potentially affected by this and what now seems like evidence of intent forthcoming it maybe is solid basis for a case but I'm no lawyer.

This bothered me too. Open offices are bad enough; unfinished spaces are unforgivable. There's virtually nothing to dampen noise - you'd literally be trying to work in an echo chamber. And that doesn't even include the visual noise of exposed wiring, loose insulation, and exposed beams.

Even the environmental controls are working harder than they have to - all of that empty space over everyone's heads has to be heated/cooled, and a lot of insulation potential from a simple drop ceiling is lost. In other words, worker productivity aside, Facebook is still losing a lot of money on that building.

The last time I worked in a space like that was for Atari as a temp QA tester. It was as bad as advertised, though even Atari had cubicle walls and company-provided headphones for their testers.

With the insane power consumption, it's more like, "We must plow our fields under and plant only tulips, says pie-eyed lunatic with life savings in tulips."

At least tulips sequestered carbon, cryptocurrencies essentially turn usable energy into waste heat, pollution, and e-tulips.
How do you block out the visual noise and distractions?
Most big cities in the UK have at least one and often multiple private hire firms, who you can call to book a vehicle to take you somewhere. Usually there are also taxis that you can pick up without booking in advance, which are providing a different kind of service and normally regulated by the local authorities. In practice, the private hire firms often charge on a meter the same as local taxis for local journeys even if they're not technically required to, so a lot of people don't realise there's a difference. There are plenty of alternatives to Uber in most major residential areas of the UK.
Tulips are a really bad analogy

The supply of tulips isn't fixed which is the key difference. The whole Tulip bubble came about from a large follow through spike in tulip production flooding the market, until supply inevitably outstripped demand, thereby setting the stage for a market crash. That's can happen to bitcoin, as its a fixed supply.
If your software is actively presenting something as X, when it's actually Y, that's not a marketing issue. That's your software displaying erroneous data. That's a bug.
I'm not sure how much to congratulate them, since 2005 is almost exactly when the cost of programmable robotic arms became far cheaper than the cost of worker injuries.

I've been working for automotive suppliers since 2006 and I've never seen a factory worker doing anything remotely strenuous or dangerous. Programmed robotic arms do almost literally anything involving lifting, and almost anything involving a dangerous tool or machine. Additionally, every workcenter is outfitted with lots of sensor-laden safety systems that all but ensure the operator is far away from anything that could hurt them. 99% of the accidents I see on reports involve ladders, box cutters, hi lo carts, etc.
Most of this is syntactic sugar, and one widely available in Haskell, lisps and even mainstream languages like Ruby.
It's not a replacement for method chaining, and can't even be used for that purpose. It's for rearranging the relative position of a function's arguments. In pseudocode, it's defined like:

x |> f ->. f(x)

So, applying that, it would let you transform something like

exclaim(capitalize(doubleSay("hello")))

to your first example. But it can't do anything with the 2nd example, because those are not functions with arguments, they're all 0-arity method calls.

More generally, I don't think this operator makes much sense in a language that's mostly object-oriented. I made one in Scala a while back and toyed with it, but even there it's pretty useless because the libraries follow a very object-oriented coding style. I've really only seen it shine in a language that has strong ML roots and tends to stick to them.
I have found twitter to be the most excellent platform for complaints in the year 2017. Many orgs have responsive social media staff that monitor twitter and are able to make stuff right.

Twitter is better than clay tablets for complaints, though I do admire the gravitas of a clay tablet.

Nothing says "I am fucking serious" as well as pounding out a message on clay, firing it in an oven for 12 hours, and then sending a servant to deliver it by donkey or camel through hostile territory.
> and what they'd be worth now

If the headline was, "Bitcoin Is No Bubble, Says Investor With No Bitcoins", would that have given him any nominal amount more credence with you, or would you be saying, "Tulips can only go up, says investor with no tulips."?
> And yet we really don’t seem to care much.

I know we're used to "Internet speed" and the tweet happened an entire 24 hours ago, but give it a bit of time before declaring it dead. Wired and Vice need a second to write it up, and see if it hits the mainstream before declaring the issue ignored.

Not saying it will get picked up, though I sure hope it does, but as you point out, it's a bit obscure and takes some explaining.

Still, there are numerous reports that the Facebook app on your phone listens to every word you say to show you ads for things you were talking aboutm but on HN and other web forums, there are always an element of disbelief. We may believe that it must be something else - correlation to web searches from the same IP, but there's never been proof one way or the other. (A Facebook exec's claim doesn't count as proof.)

So there's a section of people that believe they already have high resolution recording devices that we take into to bed. What's one more?

This is very interesting. I've been thinking about what kind of storage solutions to use for several tiny PWAs (progressive web apps) with which I've been tinkering.

I'm pretty skeptical that this is really practical for most people. I think it's a lot like 'programming for everyone' tools. Most people are basically doomed to fail in some kind of way because both maintaining data and programming are just inherently difficult.

Hell, I'm pretty confident in my programming abilities, but most possible interesting projects require a significant amount of time, if nothing else. Similarly, even tho I'm pretty comfortable with servers, command line shells, etc., managing a working and reliable personal backup system – that's actually resilient to infrequent but inevitable catastrophes – is not a trivial amount of work. And getting the damn thing setup in the first place has been a very significant amount of work!

I'm not sure most people are making a wrong decision with respect to all of the relevant tradeoffs. Most data is probably not that valuable and so the effort to actually secure it and protect it is wasteful.

Sure, but this makes it possible to dump the firmware for further analysis. I think that's the big news here. Think we might read about a few new bugs over the coming months. Also it might be possible to flash new firmware (to lock it down).
This is fun, but at the same time not very surprising. People do complain and so sometimes put it in writing.

Not that I am disagreeing with Draper but this is like saying because someone is rich and invested in many things, they cannot hold a biased view on something they own.
"opaque, obtuse, and obscure" is a red herring.

Imagine, Intel were a Russian company. Tomorrow, there would be a simple and clear [screaming] headline similar to "Russians hacked the election" (general public doesn't need to know or understand how the network, computers or elections actually work). The day after tomorrow it would be illegal to buy anything Intel.
The difference is that apps are in competition with each other and the app store is more like a marketplace for developers. There is no physical interaction between developer and buyer.

Uber could never call itself a "marketplace" for drivers. It operates much more like a driver agency.

Edit: there are genuine online booking agencies for drivers in London, like http://www.kabbee.com, which act as a front-end for independent minicab drivers. I think this is much more that way it should operate if the drivers weren't employees, as Uber argues.

> earned credit toward proof of work in my example

they both did work, they didn't yield any proof of it.

> Say I swap in a universal simulation from the Big Bang instead of SHA2

if you have an idea - express it in pseudocode. what is your `f(candidate)` here? what is the return value? how does return value ties in "is candidate valid" and "simulation data" in a way that prohibits modifying source code to only do "is candidate valid" part?

you're trying to handwave your way through some of the most complex questions in computing. "what if we just swap sha2 for blah, where blah is something that solves humanity's problems" - well sure, let's do this, show me the code.

> Why would incentive drop to zero to search the space?

because the axiom we're operating with is: though shalt not run ledger security code without "useful" code. as soon as the problem is solved - nobody secures the ledger anymore.

> why you’re scare quoting important

because you're forcing upon me what i should consider important problems humanity has to solve. your opinion is that distributed ledger isn't one of them. your opinion is wrong.

Right now there's actually an issue with iodine deficiency in the US because of the trendy use of pink Himalayan salt, various sea salts, or Kosher salt that are all non-iodized.
