I'm torn here...

On one side, I'm thankful that slimmer versions of platforms (seemingly like this Android Oreo) emerge to help bring in "entry-level" or even lower-powered devices to leverage modern-day (digital) benefits. I believe this helps avoid needing to constantly buy ever-newer devices, because the older devices can still be used effectively, for longer. I saw this with MS Windows: it used to be absolutely necessary to have a pretty beefy machine to run the minimalist of MS Windows Vista. But recently, can now run Windows 7 or 10 on more modest machines...leading to a bit more longevity of machine usage, savings on hardware purchase costs, and hey, yes, a tiny less negative impact on the environment (by reducing constant new "junk" tossed into junk yards, etc.).

...But on the other side, I wonder why didn't these platform producers - Google and Microsoft alike - create these slimmer platforms to begin with? The benefits of a slimmer platforms are nothing new, and don't seem like some weird set of concepts. That is, i don't think its unfair of me to ask these Googles and Microsofts of the world: why didn't they think of this sooner, why don't they always think of this sooner? A slimmer, more optimized platform that allows for broader use among that many more devices...duh! Then, I wonder, well, there's got to be some incentive for why these companies fill some versions of their platforms with ungodly amounts of bloat, right? Is it some shady alignment with other partners, where ideal performance for consumers is only a secondary goal (to say, the higher goals of benefiting a partner)? Is it some sort of dark, planned obsolescence, to get people to buy a new device every couple of years? Is it simple incompetence of key leaders of relevant platforms, who could common sense into the near-future? Or, some tangled combination of all of the above?

I think the answer lies somewhere above my pay-grade.

This highlights the ambiguity. There is no single multi-culture - it is an adjective that can apply to many distinct mixed cultures.

Some of the pushback is because some multicultures are better than others.

Agreed on all those points (except - I think interrupts use the kernel stack? Otherwise triggering an interrupt would clobber the red zone, which should be preserved, since it pushes the return address and flags IIRC? So interrupts don't "use" the red zone)

I was just wondering, with the Red Zone in the ABI specification requiring 128 bytes below RSP, wouldn't that also mean any function can assume the 128 bytes below RSP are actually mapped? If Go sets up a stack with only 104 bytes to go, then couldn't accessing rsp-105 to rsp-128 from the vDSO (which should be safely within the red zone) risk causing a segfault even if the function didn't do the race-y 4k stack probe?
I agree with this one, the content creator uses a variety of techniques which is quite interesting to watch to.
For a normal person/business to ever use a cryptocurrency, there needs to be one that is price stable. Meaning it's going to be worth the same $ tomorrow that it's worth today.

Imagine if you could send money anywhere, with almost no fees. That was the dream of bitcoin, but currently bitcoin fees are crazy high, and the community isn't close to solving it yet. Ethereum seems to be more scalable and has a benevolent dictator moving it forward.
Not sure why you are downvoted, ( may be because of the tone and languages used ). But people from the academics, and companies do spend a lot of money on R&D in video encoding. These patents are not those silly one click web purchase patents, there are lots of thoughts, experiment into it. I would have thought anyone who has been to Uni / College would know this, after all it is part of how University gets funding these days.

The problem is price. What should these patents cost.

> I'd love to see bitcoin (and other cryptocurrency) proponents tell the world how they are going to deal with that.

The price of cryptocurrencies are a function of supply and demand. A very large number of people wanting to get bitcoins combined with a limited number of bitcoins means the price would go up.
it also would align with their Futter on mobile efforts as flutter can run on top of go...

Whether the accusations are true or not, I wouldn't hold a single dollar in Tether after reading this on their website:

Totally agree. At age 14 I moved from Michigan to small town southern Virginia, where I lived on and off for the next 20 years. So I have some sense of the contrast between north and south.

I think most Southerners don't reminisce for the "good old plantation days" as much for a sense of identity and a reason to be proud of who they are and respect for their heritage. It's not the Confederacy (per se) that they identify with; it's "being a southerner", and hailing from a specific state (though I suspect few could describe how their state's history is distinct from other southern states any more).

Tradition has long been much bigger in the South than the North. Southerner are less likely to move away from the South than Northerners move from the North. And I think social status is also more important there; honorific titles have long held more sway (e.g. Colonel Sanders), as has the tradition of serving in the military and hailing from a long military lineage.

IMHO, the Confederacy is mostly just a a "high water mark" for southern identity and independent spirit, but not especially meaningful in defining their values today.

The Secure Enclave doesn’t do much good if you are providing the face map to any developer that wants it.
We have looked into it, it's just not in this paper. It actually works better on other file formats. PDFs are really easy to do with even simpler techniques, no parsing is needed. Modern office docs need to be unzipped first, but that's not complicated. Old office 97 docs are also a common vector that doesn't need to be processed.

This paper looked specifically at PE files because it's the hardest case of any of the file types (in our opinion & experience), and it's the one we have the most data for. We've built models for many other file types with success using much less data (though we are always looking for more).

I did the same when I joined my last job. They were running everything off two BT business hubs. I've put both of them into a brain-dead modem mode, with one as a failover WAN, bought a Mikrotik RB2011UIAS-RM (which has been wonderful, 100% uptime), replaced the 10/100 switches with gigabit equipment and installed a set of four Ubiquiti WiFi access points around the building.

We've got a nice guest wireless network for our clients with token based auth and a really reliable and consistent office network.

I recently bought a Mikrotik HAPlite for home which has also been great, I can VPN in and check my security cams without any horrifying cloud service getting a livestream of my home.
No, it's pretty normal for private companies not to share that kind of data.
Even working class people are (much) better off than the generation before us, because the standard of living has risen so much. Exotic holidays are within reach of most people (the lady who cleans my house goes on yearly holidays that were extravagant just 25 years ago), we have clothes and food and transport and entertainment that is vastly better than a generation ago, and unimaginable to 95% of all Dutch people the generation before that. We spend on average something like 6-8 percent of our incomes on food; that was 20-30 % 50 years ago, and 50+ percent 50 years before that! I'm typing this in a shopping mall in a poor part of the Netherlands, and look at what people ate buying around me - and they're certainly not 'upper class'!

If it's FUD it's easy to disprove, but since Bitfinex or whoever's behind Tether is not transparent about whether it actually has that $800M+ in reserve, the alternative is that they just printed fake money for profit.

Who are you and what's your angle? Are you on Bitfinex' payroll?
Lots of issues here...

- Buying Unum is a lose-lose situation. If the USD price of Ether goes down you redeem your Unum for less than you paid for it. If the price of Ether goes up, you redeem your Unum for less than if you just had bought Ether instead.

- Why bother tethering a cryptocurrenvy to Ether instead of just using Ether directly?

- Who determines what is the spot price of Ether at any given moment?

- Unum can be bought for 0.99 USD during "Bonus Sales", which goes against the whole point of it.

tl;dr: this is a terrible idea at best, and a total scam at worst.

Tez had excellent marketing. Every time you referred a friend, you and your friend got Rs. 51 (less than $1). Every time you transacted (some min. amount) they gave out scratch cards. In my circle even those who were skeptical initially gave in to the temptation.

There is a broad swath between pushups every day (technically just 2 push-ups) and 3x12 or 2xFailure. Most notably, there is 1x50-99% of failure which would be a great way to advance from wall pushups.
There are better and worse recruiters. The classic model is two tier: retained and contingent. That's how the recruiting industry likes to think of itself. The reality of working with recruiters as a candidate is how I recognized the third tier. It's most of the interactions that most candidates have for reasons implied by Spolsky's description of the job market [1].

The low end recruiters are recognizable with simple questions. "What is the name of the company?" is a good first question. "Are you retained or contingent?" is a good follow up. A person with a professionalist attitude will have no trouble answering either. In part because they are in the business of providing information to candidates. In part because they have a contract in place. In part because they have done their homework and are contacting the candidate because the probability of fit is higher than average.

I once had a job where I was unhappy and so I put myself through the pain of answering calls from recruiters. One of them seemed reasonable enough and we had a couple of conversations. It was a Wednesday afternoon and I was sitting in my office and got a call on my cell. I stepped outside to hear about the job the recruiter had found. The recruiter built it up and then said "The firm is X, have you heard of them?"

I'd worked at X for a few years a few years earlier. X was listed on my resume. My resume was one page.

Regular expressions are truly elegant. If the regex engine is built in a functional (compositional style), it is even more elegant.
This particular Functional pearl is my favorite, http://sebfisch.github.io/haskell-regexp/regexp-play.pdf

And my implementation of the same in scala (40 lines if you ignore some niceties, and its terribly fast asymptotically) https://gist.github.com/yellowflash/826004277874cadabbc502e6...

For TLDR on the paper, It slowly builds an abstraction and implementation on regex engine which runs on O(mn) where m is length of the regex and n - length of the text. Then they generalize it to do grouping and even extend it to match context free grammar (using lazy evaluation mostly).
Legally - yes, but when such company act as a semi-bank, costumers can reasonably expect some transparency, especially when rumors are going around.
Seems strange. I wouldn´t do it because of fairness. If my company cheats on their recruiter, they´ll also gonna cheat on me.
What's the problem? He's talking about a projected related to TFA. We do that all the time on HN, in fact it's encouraged. And if you look at the other responses, people are clearly interested in this project, although many are skeptical (justifiable in the world of cryptocurrencies). I know nothing about it, but on face value it doesn't look like any type of a scam. In fact, it looks like he's trying to solve a big problem of Bitcoin, which is the volatility.

If you have information that this project is unethical, please spill it. Otherwise, please don't flag comments like this. It's clearly of interest to hackers and thus is appropriate on HN.

Edit: Also, as others have pointed out, you're misusing the term "clickjacking".
You evidently have no idea. At a lot of places, that's the crown jewels, and would never be revealed publicly.
I don't think so. I frequently search for golang related issues, but even then when I search for 'Google go', the golang website is on number 6 and has no other mention on the first page at all. It is the programming language which suffers from poor discover ability. For an average non programming indian, golang might not feature on the first page at all.
The notion of “flyover states” as an intrinsically pejorative term is a desperate attempt by those, who have already given up their natural lives for the collective allure of cities, to drag those with more (land, peace, free time, wisdom, etc.) along with them, to satisfy the appetite of their ever-growing shadows.
