Reaching the speed of light is also technically impossible, that doesn't mean you stop trying.

Being eternally vigilant aware of your bias and actively working to counteract it, rather than blithely pretending your policies prevent it, is the way to go. This requires merciless introspection and constant self-reevaluation, so it's no wonder that most organizations don't bother. Few are that self-aware.

That said, I don't have high hopes for this. Wikipedia's insistence that only academia and mainstream media coverage are sufficient sources for articles all but ensure a predictable bias on any ideologically charged topic.

Same people, same kinda project, same biases. They've not stated any reason why this will be different.
The pricing page https://aws.amazon.com/guardduty/pricing/ is a bit confusing.

"First 500 GB / month, $1.00". Not bad! <Looks at pricing example>. Oh... $1.00/GB :)

On the other hand, 250GB of only VPC flow logs sounds really high to me, for the "small" environment example.
I wish I read Daemon and Freedom by Daniel Suarez years ago (only finished a month ago).

in order for bitcoin to change the world I think it really needs to scale transaction value, I do imagine a world where there is no longer a need to exchange it into any currency because it is more valuable to just keep it in bitcoin and use that as the defacto currency.

in regards to eth (Note I know _nothing_ about smart contracts) I was wondering if smart contracts could be used for friends to immediately split bills at restaurants for food so no sorting of anything needs to be done, as soon as the bill is provided the contract is enacted and everyone goes about their way. if this is a worthwhile idea it is free :-)
I get those messages too. There are three options:

1. Pay the courier company to take care of customs.

2. Go to the customs office and do it yourself. I remember discussing with a customs officer what category a Soekris net4501 really was. ;)

3. Return the parcel.

The good news is that Amazon, Ebay, Aliexpress and some others deal with it now. Anyone who sells via Ebay can have the customs stuff processed by Ebay for a much more reasonable fee.
Blackhats, state actors, etc all trying to attack Amazon or colocated services. As an example (I don't know the extent of "bare metal" access, so I couldn't be sure) with the ability to run their own operating system, a client could potentially get all the way down to the NIC to form arbitrary network packets. With this they could potentially map and attack Amazon's internal network protocols (routers, etc). Any kind of vulnerability within Amazon's software stack on other servers now gets a whole lot worse. If the client did this at a very low rate, it would be difficult to detect. Firewalling off these servers only helps so much, since they could still attack colocated servers of other clients, or could potentially spoof the protocol of Amazon's own server management.

I hope they have thought this through carefully, because it potentially exposes everyone on EC2 to more, potentially worse, attacks.
I suppose the issue here is that these aren't really "third" parties doing the recording, even if they're using third-party scripts.
One point that I wish the article had expanded on is the impact on software development. In a recent speech, John Carmack talks of how the power of the desktop will never reach mobile.

This is incredibly exciting. I see the end of Moores law as the return of the era of performance-oriented software development. The past decade was ruled by software methodologies which optimised for developer time at the cost of performance. Moores law was the crutch on which such latency ridden software limped into userland.

With the stabilization of hardware performance, developers can once again put dedicated time and effort into crafting performant software with the assurance that hardware gains will not render their efforts useless in 2 years.

That might not be enough. There's a tweet claiming it isn't limited to the root account, and applies to other similar Apple-default accounts on the system, such as the _applepay user account:

That seems to match the technical explanation of the bug here:

The tweet claims they've got Apple Remote Desktop access & screen sharing working via the _applepay user account. Why/how that's possible, I have no idea - I don't have High Sierra to confirm this, and I'm not sure I'd want to mess with the _applepay user account even if I did.

Reminds me of the time of websites only using -webkit vendor prefixes in the CSS even though the same properties were available to other browsers. Available either as other vendor prefixes or just the standard property. It got so bad that other browsers started supporting the webkit prefixes, which defeated the purpose. Not that vendor prefixes were a good idea to begin with.

Considering leaving job because of SCRUM
I am a software developer and I love software development. I love coming up with clever solutions to problems, I love refactoring parts of a codebase - reduing the number of lines of code and making things more understandable, I even love the boring bits - fixing bugs etc. However I feel that the practice of SCRUM in my current job is preventing me from doing that. Anytime an interesting problem comes up to solve we reduce it into ridiculously small cards like "research how to connect to this API", "Evaluate if we can use this library", "Write a proposal on how to do X" etc.

So a problem which would take 1-2 months for a couple developers working together to solve now takes 6 months. Because we break it into unrealistically small steps and as soon as you finish one step you have to wait for the end of the sprint (2 weeks) and present it, then groom/plan the next step. Its micromanagement to the extreme. No boss would ever be able to micro manage this much but for an entire team participating in scrum this is what happens.

Its impossible for me to sink my teeth into any interesting problems. I feel like the other developers on the team have bought into the scrum mindset and we treat each other like children who need to be told exactly what to do and how to do it, there can be no unknowns. For somebody who gets a thrill out of a challenge the SCRUM mentality is driving me crazy. I have brought up some of these issues and nobody else on the team feels the same way. I think I am not a good fit for this team because of that.

The reason why this is a dilemma for me is because everything else about this job is good: the colleagues are nice, the pay is good, the work-life balance is good. But the way we work is frustrating and boring.

Has anybody else experienced something similar? Are we not doing SCRUM right? If so what could we change about how we practice SCRUM?

Having a doorbell camera at the home entrance is one thing -- allows you to verify that your house is being occupied by the number of people specified on the contract, which is especially relevant when there's home damage. But putting a camera in the bedroom is clearly out of bounds, there's no valid "devil's advocate" stance for this one, c'mon.

Why's iMessage a lock-in? I have an iPhone but I wasn't aware I'd lose anything (significant) by switching to Android (or whatever).
If you can read German: https://dejure.org/gesetze/TKG/90.html

Basically, cameras that appear to be everyday objects and are particularly suited for recording non-public locations without those being recorded being aware of the fact.

IANAL, but because Smartphones are expected to have some recording device they may be okay, a hidden camera to watch your bird feeder seems more of a grey area because it can also be used to record humans.
Firefox doesn't really have tracking protection built-in. There's "Do not track", but that's worse than worthless and off by default, and you can turn on blocking thrid-party cookies but, again, off by default and only covers a small area of concern. I don't even know what to say about Brave other than the business model feels very wrong.

Firefox + uBlock Origin is the right level of protection and you can get it on desktop and mobile (Android at least).

I've come across a few sites that were still using affiliate links and uO didn't block them. I'm not sure if uO has a policy of not blocking them but, to me, those are the only type of "acceptable ad" and CPU cycles shouldn't be wasted trying to detect and eliminate them.
Hell in a Cell: Meet the man behind the infamous Reddit meme
Went to the next Apple store. Tried it out. It works. Can't believe it. Thousands of Macs are vulnerable. I'm wondering how fast all of these devices will be patched. Even if there is an update next week: How many devices won't get updated for quite some time. Unbelievable.
Why can't they automatically wrap every bit of JSX with a <Fragment> tag? That way users would need to include an empty tag when they're returning multiple elements, and they're not it'll be a fragment tag that just contains a single element.
I know this is super-urgent to fix, but they've got to make sure the fix doesn't cause other problems. You can't do that in 20 hours. And how long did it take to go up the chain?

Imagine the even bigger fallout if the fix accidentally ended up locking everyone out of the machines, essentially losing all data on anyone with an encrypted drive.
I am interested to see where we go with ai/algorithmic approaches to news though... the bias brought here will be interesting to see.

AirBnB is explicitly hiding in a gray area. The same hotel protections do not necessarily extend to having a friend over at your house (which is closer to the legal interpretation AirBnB prefers) You are legally permitted to put up cameras in your own house, and it's a common practice to set up "nanny cams" when leaving the house to a babysitter

Ten years ago, in 2007, using a machine from 2001. Probably a second generation Pentium 4 (https://www.intel.com/pressroom/kits/quickrefyr.htm#2001) or Athlon XP, with less than a gig of RAM or if you had upgraded it by 2007, probably 2 gigs or less. A

Yeah, that would be pretty crummy in 2007 even if you'd bought a high end system in 2001. If it was entry level, forget it.

I mean you'd still be able to compute things in 2007, but the overall experience would be sub-par. And a lot of things would run technically, but it would be painful enough you wouldn't even want to bother.

My take on it is that multi-core CPU's caused the amount of computing power available on even budget systems to grow exponentially faster than software demands for that power. Not only is it more cores, but the power of a single core has also increased steadily. And the first Core Duo's were easily faster per core than the previous fastest single core Pentiums on top of having two cores. More power, better multi-tasking, it's a no brainer. The amount of computing power has increased much faster while software demands just haven't kept pace, and most software just doesn't require 3.5ghz and four cores for an optimal experience. The result is five, six, seven year old PC's are still perfectly serviceable. The same just generally wasn't true in the era of single core PC's.

Lots of jurisdictions have privacy laws.

For a home, they are based on whether there is a reasonable expectation of privacy. People have a reasonable expectation of privacy in pretty much any bedroom intended for their use.

Ask HN: How to open LLC/C corp in the US as a foreigner
I'm in the EU and want to take on contracting or do a SaaS B2B (completely bootstrapped, no funding) startup but don't want to be taxed in my home country because of very high taxes.

I've seen many resources on the web about opening a company in the US, however I haven't been able to get a clear answer for several questions.

I guess many people in HN have dealt with this before so I thought of asking here:

1. Is there a service that can handle everything for me end-to-end? Including a bank account in the US.

2. What are the taxes that I have to pay in the case of LLC and C corp (Delaware)?

3. What are the costs of establishing/having (not just opening) an LLC/C corp for a year? Including opening, accounting, lawyer fees etc. Also, if things don't go as planned, what is the cost for closing it?

4. How do you deal with double taxation? By double taxation I mean being taxed in the US and your home country. Is there a way to only pay taxes in the US while still living in the EU?

This is the main problem I see with smart contracts (Even with oracles?)...

How do the nodes running the code all get the same response from an external data source?

Even if they use a service such as oraclize if the contract calls https://api/query?param1 and it returns lets say the weather:

Node1 gets: 15.2c
Node2 gets: 15.3c

In 2000 128/256 would have been common on new midrange systems. 512MB would have been high end or had RAM added after the fact as an upgrade.
I was skeptical about chatbots until I started looking into this technology more. My impression is that it's like a natural language search engine. Is this your opinion of how it's used? I'm eager to see how to add this onto a web page. Do you know how to do that?

Also, do you think businesses are using Slack for customer engagement?

The big problem with this idea is that different browsers use different rendering engines. Not everyone uses webkit. If the test suite is built on webkit, then you can't say it'll work under Firefox or Edge, because a critical component is different.

Is it? They axed their internal QA and definitely aren't catching all the bugs with the "Insiders Program."

After the Fall Creator's Update I've had to log in twice (after the first one I just get sent back to the login screen).

The workaround is disabling a setting: "Use my sign-in info to automatically finish setting up my device after an update or restart."

I'm also getting repeated alerts that a restart is required to complete installing an audio driver, but restarting doesn't finish it. I probably need to track down the responsible driver, uninstall it, and reinstall manually or hope Windows does it.

Obviously that's not as serious an issue as unauthenticated root access, but in day-to-day use of my Windows computer I don't have a very positive impression of their software quality.

While it does depend on the purpose of your site, even in the purest examples in the "web app" category, I can think of very few sites that are guaranteed to be absolutely 100% useless without interactivity. Certainly not as useless as a white screen.

In most cases though, you should be able to present a pretty useful static page by default without too much effort.

> I have no idea what he means by Wikipedia data.

Good point, but I meant the social system of Wikipedia more than the technology. On a corporate intranet vandalism was never a concern, as you can always have their manager tell them to lay it off.

You can separate wiki history quite clearly into pre-Wikipedia (c2 and friends) and post-Wikipedia. What disappoints me is that post-Wikipedia wikis are almost all "Wikipedia for <niche>", rather than something new.
> You can break up your code into multiple contracts, but the tradeoff is an increased attack area.

This is the way to get programs over 500 lines, and it doesn't increase the attack area as much as you'd think, since you can essentially hard-code the addresses of outside contracts into your code--it's not a combinatorial explosion.
I think that if you have FileVault enabled and you shut the machine down when not in use, you are still secure, even from this attack.

Yes, theoretically in the case you mentioned.

All responsible implementations of this won't actually log PII. It's pretty trivial to withhold certain inputs. All of the services mentioned in the article have easy ways to flag an input field as private / do not log. I'd wager a lot of money that these sites are interested in gathering UX data and not scraping for accidental form input.

I suppose there's a certain level of trust involved, but I don't think that's any different than when you make an online purchase. /shrug

Meh. Learn any language and “the rest will come” if you then learn other languages. Some of these points don’t lead to C’s being a better first language or pedagogical language — like, why should a learner care that C is so fast? I teach HS computer science and we do use C, in our Data Structures course, after students have used Racket, Python, and Go. Using those other languages lets us cover interesting and important topics like recursion, data abstraction, concurrency, and more, all while doing projects that hold kids’ attention (sometimes using outside libraries for image or sound processing, e.g.). C is well-suited to the data structures course where students have to think carefully about memory and efficiency.

I can certainly imagine a different sequence, where students learn logic gates, hardware, assembly, then C, working their way up to higher levels of abstraction. Even in this case though, the goal isn’t to jump in and start writing big programs in C right away.

I had an incident where the airbnb owner neglected to mention she had pets. The hair was everywhere including the bed, making it impossible to breathe. So I contacted airbnb who refunded me after a lot of back and forth. Thus began a long night of calling completely booked hotels. The other Airbnb hosts required 24h minimum notification. We ended up staying at a partially renovated hotel.
