It's interesting that this is being discussed again this year, because the critical part of the discussion really happened back in May of this year.

https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-5689 is the CVE in question and existed for ~7 years, permitting exactly the scenarios I postulated to occur given unprivileged access to the network on which the servers reside.

There's been some rapid threat modeling done already: for example, for datacenter environments, the impact of this issue is largely mitigated by reducing physical access to this network behind the firewall - https://software.intel.com/en-us/documentation/amt-reference... indicates that we can firewall traffic so that only known management computers can access it from outside. (However, one compromised computer in the datacenter can be used as a source to trigger this exploit, so whole-datacenter monitoring/alerting for traffic on these ports is required).

The overall risk involved is still fairly high, because this security posture is effectively "remote root-level access for anyone with unprivileged access to the local network".
almost no test coverage. did i miss them ? for proper use in production you would need to have hundreds of unittests and a whole bunch of component + integration and e2e tests.
No, SVG is not better than a font for monochromatic icons and never will be.

The amount of optimization that went into font technology and algorithms, all the way from the binary file to the graphics card, can never compare with an XML-based file format.

Big Macs are shit salty food that doesn’t make you full and spikes your glycemic load so you’re hungry again in 30 minutes.

The American idea that poor people get to organize their time the same way that non poor people get to organize their time is near the core of the problem. The argument that eating fast food saves you time is deeply troublesome because poor people, while disadvantaged in many ways like having to use public transit or not having transit, generally have the lowest premium on time because their time is worthless.

Whats weird to me is the meeting point of where sex between two people is legal, but them taking pictures of each other naked is a felony.. there is a lack of common sense being applied here.
Because businesses pay people who vote Republican, and universities pay people who vote Democrat. That's a bit of an oversimplification of course, but that sort of thing is always in play. Both parties tend to have biases that conveniently align with the demographic that votes for them or supports their ideology.
A mall would be 10x preferable to that stuff when it's -10 degrees out.
On the other hand they have continued to at least maintain the squeezebox server code even though they no longer sell any of the products.

If all the air molecules in a box spontaneously moved to one side of it at the same time, you could defeat entropy. This is no more likely to happen than the big players making it the norm to avoid tax reduction schemes.

In a box filled with air, molecules moving to one side leave a gap which results in increased pressure for molecules to move the other way. The same is true of big companies and taxes. You might be able to find some companies who would do this, and investors who prefer money to vague morality (and there's a lot of them) would abandon those companies and put more money into companies who avoid taxes as much as legally possible.

If we want to stop this behavior, the solution must be to make it illegal. Appealing to morality isn't going to get it done.

Consider that many industries literally kill people by poisoning the air or water. Not killing people as a moral principle is a lot more universally held than the idea of paying more tax than you're legally required to, but moral pressure didn't work there. Laws did.
Yes but the argument for those who didnt like demonetisation (the corrupt ones with things to hide) was that poor people were badly affected. However one of Indias poorest states still went with BJP. The statement that poor people were affected was political spin, everyone was affected.
Averages can be troublesome. Compare Population A where 9 people have $1 each, and one person has $100, to Population B where 9 people have $5 each and one person has $40. Which population is poorer? Which would you rather live among?

EDIT:

How about Population C, where 9 people have $10 each and one person has $10,000?
I agree. It feels like a lot of malls have basically optimized themselves for a customer base that is not really sustainable.
Everything you need to know about Neural Networks
The problem cited is less about the architecture and more about the implementation. There would be far less consternation if Intel had chosen to make these components completely transparent and user-replaceable. A truly open source collaborative effort would likely have mitigated most of the concern.

On the other hand, Intel might have selected this implementation process specifically to accelerate delivery of enterprise and OEM requested features at a time when Intel was dominant and firmware-level security was less of an issue.

Given the competitive state of the modern volume processor market (mobile and cloud), it's a safe assumption that Intel will be open to changing their ways. And if not, AMD or some other company certainly will.

This predated EDID, and digital displays generally. The point was that Gnome & KDE actually regressed from base X11 and painted themselves into a 100dpi corner.

Technologically, scaling for physical display resolution and scaling for legibility are substantially the same; done right, either would enable the other.
It's probably not completely idiotic to favor bitcoin over government bonds - one of these two has at least the chance of increasing in value significantly more than inflation.

It seems like every other day a new 40+ story mixed-use tower, with requisite parking structure, is breaking ground around here.

The thing that baffled me about downtown’s parking situation was how so many otherwise undeveloped parking lots managed to stick around given the opportunity cost of land downtown. That was until I realized a production crew can’t set up base camp in a parking garage.
A "real" social safety net? Is that a joke? As though we already don't have tons of social programs? Sure, the US might not be as insanely generous as some European nations, but the US has medicare, medicaid, food stamps (SNAP), social security, welfare (SSI), disability, housing assistance, CHIP, WIC, ACA subsidies, section 8 housing assistance, home energy assistance, and probably even more I can't think of or don't even know about. The US spends more than $2.3 trillion every year on those programs combined, which comes out to around $7,000 for each and every person in the US (around 330M). That's an absolutely mind blowing number.

How young?

Many malls have banned people under 18 unless accompanied by a parent or guardian. This practice started around 10 years ago.

Just in case anyone doubts me: http://www.parenting.com/news-break/why-your-teen-getting-ba...

>Up to 80 malls across the United States enforce a curfew or escort policy for teenagers

I was still looking young in 2008 despite being well into my 20s and that's when I got IDed at a mall entrance. I was so annoyed/insulted by it I never went back to that mall every again. I can understand getting IDed at a bar, but not at a friggin mall.
Twitter doesn't require a real name or photo (I use neither) and has as much rich media as the IRC channels I sit in.

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about two posts up: Shouldn't be a problem, but a large number of unknowns enter into the equation - such as the client AP isolation, where two WiFi client devices don't see each other: the AP just drops packets coming from one destined to the other. The user's network might have this on, and the user may not even be aware of it. Even if thus is OK, finding a server in the local network is not straightforward, even with Zeroconf/Avahi. And those are just a few out of many issues.
There are tests - they're colocated with the source, not in a separate tests folder, e.g. https://github.com/keratin/authn-server/tree/master/services

This isn't really that unusual since most of these students to tend to have low incomes when they'd be affected by this. What is funny though is how upset people were about potentially losing the ability to deduct state and local taxes, which is something that would predominately affect upper middle class people living in blue states who tend to support tax increases. Just on richer rich people than them, apparently.

I don't think this is precience, though I often find many authors and artists to speak up for stuff repressed in our collective subconscious. This kind of stuff is becoming increasingly more difficult to bury, and it is the kind of stuff our civilization has never adequately addressed.

I think it can be changed, but not if we keep trying to bury it.

For many people malls are a comfortable place with free air conditioning during the summer months. Free internet also helps. I've seen McDonalds also serve a similar local function.
Personally, I wouldn't say this is necessarily a strange approach. In fact, I'd say it may support my own hypothesis about tech knowhow and what not.

Namely, that it's not generally about some people being more 'inclined to it' or 'skilled' or 'intelligent' in some vague sense, but simply about whether it's necessary for somehow to be tech savvy in their situation.

It's like learning to code. Many people could do it, especially if they put their mind to it.

But for many people, they don't because there's no pressing reason them for them to know how to program. If they had an idea or pet project which needed them to make an app for it... well they may end up learning a hell of alot faster.

That's just my opinion on why this could have come about anyway.
There are a handful of examples in professional settings where there is a minor bias in favor of women or minorities[1], but both researchers and activists are honest about them (there are always zealots, but that goes for both sides). This bias is bad, but it does not invalidate the much more prevalent and problematic bias in the other direction (against women and minorities). Similarly, the bias against men in parental disputes does not invalidate, nor is invalidated by the bias against women in professional settings.

[1]: The example that comes to mind is that in academic settings if women are (for instance) 5% of the applicant pool, they will make (for instance) 10% of the people invited for interviews. (I made up all the numbers for the sake of explanation) But this seems to be explained by rounding (you would invite less than 10 people for interviews, so a single woman being present is already above the population average). This effect will hopefully disappear as we create more diverse community. And the effect is completely dominated by effects in the other direction like [2].

The target audience of a refurb Core 2 desktop has no overlap with the camp that will have their PC on enough to even bring power efficiency into consideration. The hundreds saved reusing an otherwise-waste computer would take decades of rising power bills to make back during which even the new system would probably die well before you broke even.
They do, but:

- The signs about which train is actually arriving are frequently wrong, resulting in boarding the wrong train

- The time I need to be at various destinations is fairly uniformly distributed. with a bike I can just leave for work exactly 20 minutes before my first meeting, allowing 5 minutes to freshen up.
The article axiomatically attributes demonetization as the reason for a reduction in GDP growth, even 3 quarters after the event. Is it that obvious as I don't see the direct connection - more currency flowing through official channels = increased GDP and taxes. What am I missing?
In other words, wealth is the means of production.

The system I work on as of now isn't really fit for a unified log design. But there are definitely some critical part of the system that can use a high performance centralized event log and can be made simpler and better (faster/more reliable). The ability to decouple producer & consumer, fanning in/out in both side, batching all are very attractive properties. But I live in a transactional world and even though in quite a few cases I can make the consumer idempotent the publishing of an event becomes tricky. If you are not using the log as the only store but in addition to a traditional transactional data store (databases for e.g.) how can you ensure that events are published only and surely for a successful transaction?

The staged log record idea is interesting but it makes the database bottleneck bigger specially if a lot of different transaction (spread across many tables) now is bottlenecked on the same stagedlog table.

Maybe I'm missing something here?

It's possible that either decision attracted a different class of buyer. Altcoins have been dumping recently as people sold their holdings to buy Bitcoin in case there was a fork in order to get more of the forked coin (like what happened with Bitcoin Cash). Canceling Segwit2x may have caused traditional investors (e.g. those with less risk appetite) to feel that there are fewer questions about which chain survives a fork; they could have been waiting to put money into the market until there was a clear sense of which Bitcoin fork would be the successful one.

Altcoins are surging at the moment, so I believe that lends some credence to the first group being people trying to move into BTC to get more free coin.
32 bit vs 64 bit
That’s because Google uses Python 2.7 internally. They have a ton of code for it, and any migration is harder than they might seem.
I don't think it was an argument for the distribution of those photos. It was merely pointing out that punishing snapchat does not solve a societal problem. Instead you need to keep tracing this bug in the code of society and fix the root problem.
> The study of more than 2,000 people found that 42 percent of millennials are at least somewhat familiar with bitcoin, compared with 15 percent among those ages 65 and up.

Something that is not clear from the article is: what exactly does "somewhat familiar" mean?
> saturating the market with that much more ETH would drive prices down.

Of course, like with any stock or commodity, the market price is the valuation of the good _for small amounts_ of the good.
Satoshi was in favor of digitally signing Bitcoin transactions to provide non-repudiation as an underpinning of Bitcoin ownership.

> it is more important what is in the message than who wrote it.

That statement actually favors the signing of this textual message, since digital signatures provide integrity control in addition to non-repudiation of origin.

I'm definitely going to have to disagree with that.
short version: i686 is a 32bit architecture, and x86_64 is a 64 bit architecture. It adds things like larger registers (and more of them).

This isn't an intergenerational issue. Old people (65+) have something beyond 95% of the money in this world. Todays seniors, as a group, are the most wealthy ever. The "gray market" for anything from drugs to travel is booming like never before. What is needed then is not wealth transfer between generations, such as income taxes paid by the young. What is needed is transfer from the rich elderly to the poor elderly. It is time to means test many of the benefits. If you are earning 200k+ in passive retirement income, your social security can be partially diverted to help those truly in need.

I disagree that it's a money laundering scheme. Universities provide real value to students. If anything, they are highly inefficient at capturing that value. Being forced to set tuition at $0 would be the real accounting gimmick. And yes, this is absolutely targeted at defunding education. It's certainly not a tax cut.
I worked in University IT and made over $30K working part time during the school year and full time in the summer, as did most of my coworkers. Also, we made slightly more than the normal person because Social Security tax is waived for working students, so that's like a 7% bonus.

When you're in the Bay Area and your students can choose to work for the University or go get a paid internship down the road, you have to compete on wages.

Tests are colocated inside packages (folders) using a `_test.go` convention.

Service tests[1] are the main unit tests, and use mock implementations of the data store interfaces.

Data (DAO) tests[2] are generally run across every implementation using only the public interface. This helps me stay sane with the mock implementations.

The API tests[3] are integration tests, and use Go's excellent httptest package to boot a real server and execute real HTTP commands.

It's not about having a "fact or citation for every nitty point"... It's about having even a tiny grain of self-awareness before making a statement about the global state of software in 2017, and perhaps having the self-awareness to know that, generally speaking, your anecdote ("citation") is meaningless.

I guess at some point I need to stop being surprised that HN comments are really no better than Reddit's.

If so that's not the same as an income requirement at all.
