presumably an attacker will just use the local process to observe and develop a method to defeat it.

that said, perhaps such a methodology would require extra effort on the part of a revenge porn perp, so it might reduce the occurrences.

I 90% agree, with the 10% exception that most cable companies admit you to the Internet, so under current legal frameworks for handling stuff that genuinely shouldn't be on the Internet, a case can be made that they need to know who you are. Not saying that's right, saying it's probably best at the moment. Granted, they also have a service address, and the clever ones can proxy up, but...
I met him at Gencon this year, but I didn't realize who he was at the time. I only listen to the podcast, so I didn't recognize him. He was sitting on a Rathskellers gaming table and I started asking him about the table. It was only when some people asked for a photo that I realized who he was.
I've been rear-ended a couple of times. In all cases, I talked to their insurance and said, "They had the responsibility to maintain a safe driving distance, it doesn't matter what I did, they can't rear end me," and that has been an argument that has always completely worked: they've always taken full responsibility for the accident.

(To be clear, I wasn't intentionally provoking anything: in one case I hit my brakes because the car in front of me panic-stopped, in another I was in a right-turn-yield-into-another lane situation and I checked my blindspot and found that there was a car who had right-of-way, so I hit my brakes to keep from encroaching on them.)
This sounds like yet another thing that Amazon built for itself and then decided to release it to the public. That's the story behind a lot of things, isn't it?

Frankly, here I agree with the post you replied to - romantic relationships at work are a huge, unpredictable liability. It's better to completely separate work life from romantic life if you can afford it, otherwise you might get labeled "creepy" and instantly booted out of company with limited future employment prospects or worse.

Only the adaptable survive; you might not like what's coming but disregarding the new rules however irrational the may be might cost you a lot.
In this case it seems Amazon outright acquired whoever was maintaining FreeRTOS and has made it available under an MIT license:

https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/opensource/announcing-freertos-...

So presumably they have bigger plans beyond examples.
If anyone from AWS is in this forum, could you comment if the custom Docker training in sagemaker can also be used for general optimisation of any dockerised objective function, e.g. bayesian hyper parameter training?

In the blog post example there is this python code:

def train(
channel_input_dirs, hyperparameters, output_data_dir,
model_dir, num_gpus, hosts, current_host):

Would I also write some kind of similar function for scoring the result of the training?

To provide some context, I work in bioinformatics where some of our algorithms have 100s of parameters. This is not ML where we want to classify or predict but rather optimise the parameters for a given objective function. If sagemaker allows general optimisation in an AWS lambda like way, that would be very useful.
It's almost as if there are some people that greatly profit from the landowner-paradigm statu quo being kept. Hmm...

> Many do not, and they cannot find their human need for romance met if you suddenly say that romance-at-work is off-limits.

This is a selfish viewpoint. There's lots of appropriate places to find romance. Thanks to Tindr and online dating, we can even do it in a context where people can signal when they're seeking romantic advances (such that making such an advance won't be an imposition on a person just trying to go about her day).

But the office is not one of those places. The office is where women who studied hard in school toil to put a roof over their heads, food in their kids' mouths, secure health insurance so they don't die if they get cancer. It's a serious endeavor, every bit as serious for them as it is for you. And they deserve to be able to engage in it without having to put up with the politics and anxiety that goes along with romantic advances in the workplace.

If they can do that then the whole method fails anyway.

Besides, I think the set of your average revenge porn idiots intersected with those that are capable of defeating the hashing scheme in order to do their dirty deed is going to be exceedingly small.

The main reason why I wanted to switch from Go to Rust was I was finding the type system a bit too weak for game implementations. There were even some games I was having trouble implementing at all without resorting to `interface{}` throughout the data structures.

Rust has been a challenge but now that I'm fairly proficient it's very well suited to implementing the game data structures. Parsers are much more pleasant to implement in Rust too; I've written a custom parser combinator for game input and it's much easier to handle input in Rust than it is in Go.
London is a weird market. Don't believe the incredibly low salaries you see on Glassdoor. There seems to be a handful of places that have reasonable salaries. I don't fully understand why contract pays so much higher.

One interesting thing in London is many (most?) permanent roles have a two or even three month contractual "notice period". So if you hand in your notice, you're stuck working for another three months. This causes friction in the labor market which certainly has a depressive effect on wages.

Why's that? For some derivatives, cash settlement is the only thing that makes sense. E.g., look at their weather derivatives. It's not like anybody wants to take delivery on a petagram of cold air.

The majority use case for Bitcoin isn't using Bitcoin at all. It's speculating on Bitcoin. Those people definitionally don't care about Bitcoin for its own sake.

I'm pretty sure the exchanges are offering these not because anybody actually has forward needs to buy or sell Bitcoin, as they would with, say, wheat. People just want to speculate. For those people, cash settlement is exactly what they're after.

I've always wanted this! "Hardware accelerated" would become a thing of the past, because everything could hardware accelerate itself. It would probably be more like ram than a graphics card, though, and could probably be designed so each application could specify how many gates it wants.

For what it's worth, for a lot of the types of software roles out there, many of them only have existed in their current forms for <10 years. A person whose been working on mobile for >10 years is incredibly rare, so to even find someone who has been doing mobile programming for 5 years should be enough to call them senior given they have been working in the field for half of the time the modern concepts have been around.

It's "log in to," as "log" is a verb whose meaning changes when it accepts the preposition "in".

Dutch has this much more systematically than English, where when this happens you can form the infinitive for the verb by prepending the verb with the preposition. So "someone who breaks in" would be an "in-breaker" and the infinitive form is "to in-break". (In modern English one would have to say a "breaker-inner" to convey the idea of one who breaks in.) Similarly the Dutch might look at the verb "with-hold" and assume that you would say "the company held with that information, not disclosing it" rather than "the company withheld that information."

Anyway, since the verb is "in-log" you "log in", as opposed to the conventional meanings for the verb "logging" (writing down something or clearing trees) where you might "log into" (respectively writing down into, or clearing trees from).

The most useful aspect of this, from my perspective: they've finally abolished the non-FOSS license of the old FreeRTOS, and released it under an actually Open Source license, namely MIT. That's one less headache to deal with.
I have a memory of accessing SABRE directly maybe in the late 90s to bypass travel agent websites, before services like Expedia etc exploded. Is that possible? Or am I remembering incorrectly.

For all the complaining on HN about accredited investors, this is exacatly why they were invented in the first place: because there was too much speculative investment available to people who subsequently invested more than they could afford to lose.

Perhaps a workaround would be to pick a random celebrity, somebody with a lot of photos online, and upload one of those.

>main touted advantage is avoiding the disgusting heat and humidity

And to avoid the monsoon-like rains; downtown Houston is ~45 miles north west of Galveston Bay. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_of_Houston

>Rainfall is the most common form of precipitation in Houston. The wettest month is June, with an average of 5.93 inches (151 mm) of rain.[1] Houston normally receives 49.77 inches (1,264 mm) of precipitation on 104.0 days annually.[1] The most precipitation to fall in one year was 83.02 inches (2,108.7 mm) which occurred in 1979. Houston has received less than 20 inches (510 mm) of rain only once: 17.66 inches in 1917.[21] Flash flood warnings are common all year, and due to the flat landscape, heavy rains often threaten life and property in the city. Sea breeze showers which are monsoon-like (especially during the summer months from a mesoscale convective cycle where the polar jet stream usually forms an omega block) are common throughout the Texas Gulf Coast area (from Brownsville to the Florida Peninsula) which has a similar climate to areas like Mumbai and Kolkata - locals refer to the sea breeze showers as the Gulf Coast Monsoon (also called the Gulf of Mexico or the Texas Monsoon), despite Houston being 50 feet above sea level. The sea breeze showers are also a contributor to the North American Monsoon.

No, my comment is not meant to entail that at all. My intention was to give an example of two different stories which in typical journalistic environments would be reported on because they reinforce a particular narrative about what should be important to readers.
Does it? That would certainly be pretty alarming, but I can't seem to find any evidence that it does. The only relevant article I could find was this one on Gboard on iOS: https://www.macworld.com/article/3070767/ios/googles-gboard-...
Seems to suggest that that at least their iOS keyboard doesn't send any data while typing. Could be different on Android, but I didn't find any articles suggesting that they are doing this. Wouldn't put past them to make a quiet change of a policy though.

Not to be confused with the other 2017-001 update they released one month ago: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT208221

The App Store Updates page on my mum's Macbook Air now shows that she has installed two updates called "Security Update 2017-001", and she started to worry that she didn't have the correct update installed today.

They both link to the same page (https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201222), so it took me a while to figure out what was going on, and that she really had installed two distinct security patches (one before upgrading to High Sierra, one after).
So the same widely publicized "glitch" that affected Ryan Aira couple is now affecting American Airlines in the US? Seems suspicious.

I think the Stylo developments show that it's not entirely true. Yes, you can get good performance from single-threaded models, and you can get better performance with threading. I'm also a huge advocate of not rewriting things, which is why Rust's C interop allows for incremental re-development of legacy codebases in a reasonable way.
Ok, now I get it.
The core of the announcement is that they're doing with FreeRTOS what Apple did with CUPS, basically (plus the MIT relicensing).
On the one hand, it feels like a power grab; on the other hand, one can only hope that it might bring some sorely needed standards of decency in the IoT world...
Yes, EKS is just managed K8s, which is the orchestration layer. You still need to have EC2 instances for the EKS tasks to be scheduled on. Unless you run your EKS tasks on Fargate, which is coming in 2018.

I'm a bit confused. I guessed he was selling it with Wittenstein given (a) they have commercial licenses for the same source and (b) one of their docs said he helped set up the High Integrity Division of Wittenstein. That link makes me wonder what impact they had at all on FreeRTOS.

https://www.highintegritysystems.com/openrtos/

Note that I don't follow FreeRTOS's closely. I just discovered it searching for RTOS's with Wittenstein looking at who was doing safety-certified RTOS's. At least back then, it was neat to think someone's RTOS project was getting adoption in the commercial sector with some money going back to them. Now I wonder...

"is a professional and supposed to put in the hours required to get the job done, within reason"

Funny how it only goes one way. Not many employers are OK with someone taking Friday off because they got their work done early. Lots of employers will see nothing wrong with asking people to come in on the weekend. I think people forget that the employer/employee relationship is a value for value business relationship. As a professional I'm flexible but I'm not exploitable.
For example, probably most people using FreeRTOS thus far were using it for ordinary MCU stuff like listening for button presses and blinking LEDs without even involving a wifi transceiver at any point.

My memory may be wrong, but I think the guidelines once said something about comments like "This!" and "+1" and not to sign them with your name. If it did and the guidelines have been changed it is perhaps because those things have become less of an issue over the years...or I am just imagining things. Anyway, comments like "This!" and such will tend to attract downvotes because they add nothing to the conversation...if it's "This!" use the up arrow. That's the way the community operates.

As for meta-discussions, they are generally less intellectually interesting than what gets submitted. Popular meta-discussions occur from time to time, but it limiting them helps keep Hack News from focusing inward and backward (in time) too much.
