Be honest. Tell HR the truth. Tell them the other company has offered you a much bigger salary. Tell them that salary is very important to you at this stage of your life.

The big question.....have you signed a contract? If not then get the second contract signed before you diss the first. You never know what might happen. Even if it entails traveling there to sign the contract...do it. And while you are there go in person to the first company that offered you. I believe that until you sign the contract you still have room to make changes. The contract is the key. If you have already signed a contract with the first company it could mean trouble. That changes everything.

Even if you do that, I think Apache still starts as root to do things like open SSL certificates and log files (and logging configuration is the thing exploited here). Is there a common config - e.g. an initscript / systemd unit on an SELinux distro - that starts Apache as a dedicated user?

I know Apache supports being started as an unprivileged user (I do this myself a lot when I need something a little more featureful than SimpleHTTPServer) but my impression was that that's not very common for production deployments.
>> Before being randomized to receive the operation or the sham...

I know that people opt-in to such studies, but what exactly does a "sham" stenting procedure involve? I find it hard to believe that any hospital would insert something along a blood vessel and into a heart, or even just anesthetize a patient, for the purposes of staging a false surgery. These are commonplace but not risk-free procedures. What exactly does it take to convince someone that a piece of metal has been inserted into their heart? Are they presented with false x-rays and other records? Are they ever told the truth? How do they react when they learn that it has all been a sham?
You're right that it's canvaslegacy.com and yes, the server is down at the moment.

tombs.io is another multiplayer game of mine, or rather an experiment where I explored the concept of using in-browser XMR mining as a monetization and bot fighting method.

It won't mine anything without the player explicitly pressing the "Start mining" button, in case anyone wants to check it out. It's totally unrelated to my comment though.

(Fun fact since we're on HN: the backend for tombs.io is built with Firebase and Google Cloud Functions. I haven't really seen anyone make a realtime game with server-side authority using that stack before. Wrote a bit about it here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15977261)
You are making the error of thinking that one can only use one language, or that using the right language for a job is a bad thing; and you are making the error of thinking that build platforms did or do lack the capacity for generating source like this. These are platforms that have the capacity to run a C++ compiler; they have more than enough capacity to run tools like (say) od and sed.
>" a long time ago, when microcoded architectures were the default,..."

They are default the now though. As far as I know hardwired control logic wasn't used for very long before people moved to using microcode. Maybe I am misunderstanding that part of your comment?
> In other words: I thought Minecraft multiplayer was something you did with friends where the possibility to cheat doesn't matter, not like an MMO where cheating would destroy the game.

Some Minecraft multiplayer servers run profits > 100k USD per month, with tenthousands of players. There has been a massive investment into building alternative server backends, sharding the world across multiple servers, implementing complex anti-cheat systems, and more.
This leads to fun things in high-load situations (like Extreme Hills biomes) even on a local single player game. You break a block...and it comes right back. Break again, comes back. The internal server is rejecting it all even though it's on the same system as the client.
It also only works if you come from a relatively rich family or have a rich social circle. Not everyone can tap that.

I know we are talking about a different scale here, but the idea that you must be in the black to get money simply isn't true. And if you are hold small town businesses to a different standard, then you just proved the point of the article.
That in combination with unaffordable housing. There are plenty of homeless people in these places who aren't mentally ill and do in fact still have full-time jobs; they just literally can't afford a place to live and end up living in their car in a parking lot somewhere. If everything else about their situation remained the same, except rent prices were cheaper, they wouldn't be homeless.
After journal bias, conflicts of interests, and corruption, I now hold little remaining faith in the justice of “science”. It seems the “scientific method” I learned decades ago is inconvenient to publishers and consumers alike. (Also, I’ve had personal doctors push drugs on me when it was clear they were getting a kickback).

It’s frustrating when people read headlines and claim ”science” in a conversation, when the root of the research is fraudulent and the observer has never attempted to verify. When I challenge their assumptions, they are incredulous that I would question “science”.
A business can, but it's much more likely to be the case in something like software where the majority of costs are fixed, and economies of scale are such that you can relatively easily grow into profitability.

I'm no business expert, but I'm guessing the story is different for small town restaurants. If you've got one that's been open for 3 years, it's probably fairly safe to say that its growing days are over. By then, everyone in town knows about it, so there's not much prospect for expanding the customer base. If anything, I'd expect the company's business to slowly dry up over the long haul. Money is flowing out of small towns, so, even if every single customer is a loyal regular, they'll still be going out less and less over time simply because their supply of excess income to spend on things like eating out is shrinking.

This article does a great job explaining the issue about malpractice in the U.S.

I have no idea whether malpractice is overblown, but I do know that it doesn't prevent bad doctors from practicing.

And the amount of money – and it is vast – that is attached to this “medical malpractice settlement industry,” if you will, is divvied up in such a way that much of it doesn’t reach the patient. It goes to lawyers, it goes to the courts, and it goes to so-called experts who testify on behalf of the defendant or the plaintiff."

> Easily available in any country without a bank as an intermediary

> because again no banks are involved which might also go bankrupt

> Highest liquidity

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Banks certainly are involved, and provide the liquidity you mention by facilitating transactions for exchanges between crypto and traditional currencies. A disruption to this process either with a beneficiary bank or as an intermediary bank[1][2][3] ripples through the ecosystem. While yes, it's possible to interact with Bitcoin without involving a bank if you mine it yourself, the moment you involve an exchange and want to liquidate your bitcoin for more commonly accepted currency (or the other way around), you indirectly involve traditional banks. And if exchanges can't provide liquidity, then the value of bitcoin can and will drop precipitously.

[3] The above articles mention the issue was related to new regulations. But insolvency of intermediary banks (or even beneficiary banks) could cause similar issues in the future as well.

Why shouldn't they, exactly?

As earlier stated, they supporting multiple programs with multiple facilities, scholarships, Title IX, coaches, strength programs, trainers/medical support, practice facilities, etc.

Of all of those programs, at most schools only 1 or 2 actually MAKE money. At Clemson, the football program supports EVERY other scholarship sport that competes at the D1A level.
The cost is dominated by the price of the underlying land, which is privately owned. The actual construction cost is much lower than $900 million a mile.

I was going to post complaining about that very point. Any discussion of URL is irrelevant and misleading in the context of raw DNS queries for beginners. I think the author incorrectly assumes domain name is interchangeable with URL for some reason.
I would agree, if only I were given the choice. As it is, I have no way to know what the terms of a website are until I visit. The intent of the ads are also usually not made clear. If I don't view the ad am I allowed to read the content?

I guess it boils down to what you think the Internet is. I feel I should be in control of my computer, and thus I get to decide which bits I allow onto my network and which of those bits are then rendered on my screen. If you've made content publicly available, it's mine to consume in the way I see fit. I don't see why I shouldn't, for example, be allowed to use a text based browser to view content or browse with JavaScript disabled.

Payment for content is of course difficult for websites, but I just don't feel an ad based revenue is feasible on an open web, precisely because the web is open. The platform does not support the notion of content creators implicitly dictating terms.

"According to Forbes, the IEA reports that in 2015, German prices were 17.9 cents per kwh for industry, and 39.5 cents per kwh for residential customers, versus 7 and 12.5 cents respectively in the U.S."
The first section is weird: it compares random opinions from random social websites with another semi-random one from Hacker News (from someone who says it worked on it, but we don't even now at which level, and the "I think I would have known" part strongly make me think he actually would not have...), and lets conclude that secret services never had any stake in the design.

The unmarketed HAP bit is actually evidence they either can do some hack leveraging it, or at least are worried other services can or will become able to.

The theory that the complete subsystem would have been kept secret if it was of interest for secret services is also highly laughable. Especially when it is well known how they regularly leverage other marketed management/sideband services, for example in telecom equipment, to do their espionage operations.
How to Run Your Own Annual Review
To state the obvious, you can't listen to every idea. At least not all the time. That would be very uneffective.

It's better to build some stereotypes which you revisit from time to time, and build your network of people who you trust from a pool of people that passed this stereotypes "filter".

Of course a good idea can come from everywhere, but I don't think Cranston went to routinely ask the lightworkers, cleaning personnel, or secretaries for good comedy ideas, after that. He was still more likely to get good input from the people who specialize in comedy.

As an employee I almost resigned the first week at a startup but convinced myself the bad vibe I was getting was an overreaction. It wasn't. I ended up resigning within six months.

As an occasional hiring manager I would prefer a candidate reject my job offer as early as possible. First, so I can revisit the other candidates and hopefully not have to repeat the entire process. Second, if the new employee quits, it's more expensive to restart the process six months.

I don't know German employment law, but in the US you would have no obligation to the employer unless you've accepted reimbursement already or signed a contract of some sort, and even then you can usually work out not takng the job.
Rereading the comment it also seems more like Apache is starting something that can become root somehow, I really don't think it is implied Apache is running as root.
None of them, in the conventional sense. The ECDLP itself is breakable with Shor's Algorithm more easily, in experimental simulation, than RSA.

Curves still have a role in PQ systems through isogenies, which are mappings between entire curves. But those schemes are very different than the elliptic curves we use today; you can think of them as systems that exchange whole curves rather than curve points.
There's a pretty big difference between a diner in a small town and a global media/technology company. Both could be unprofitable, but only one has large potential upside in terms of both profit and business exit.
Most things that "run on CPUs" run on CPUs by many vendors. In the cases where software does not run on ARM processors it's almost always due to an architectural difference with x86, not an artificial proprietary limitation.

If an open-source library chose to rely on a proprietary C compiler with special language features (e.g. the Borland C compiler) that targeted only Intel x86 CPUs, I would argue we would not generally claim this software "runs on CPUs". The software "runs on Intel x86 CPUs" seems more appropriate.

Similarly, especially in the machine learning field, it seems to be more and more common that "GPU" really means "CUDA-required GPU". In a world where AMD and Intel GPUs are also common (perhaps more common?), to me it makes sense to be up-front about this.

I'm not criticizing the authors' choice to use CUDA here. I'm just saying it would be nice if we stop pretending CUDA is synonymous with GPU programming, especially in cases where OpenCL would be a very appropriate choice (e.g. open-source software).
Hey sheraz — thanks for the feedback!

Your recommendations look great, especially libclould.

What do you think can be beefed up in getting started docs? Getting setup on your laptop should be as simple as cookiecutting your app and running `docker-compose up`. Is there something missing that you’d like to see documentation about?

I agree with feedback about Heroku. Professionally, I use Kubernetes and I’m looking forward to when amazon’s managed kubernetes service is out of developer preview so this project can use it. I’ve kept with Heroku because its such a nice platform to get an app started on. It allows you to rapidly develop your app from 0 to 1 without being over encumbered by infrastructure concerns before you need to be. I’ve also kept it in because the integration is just pushing to a docker repository. Just changing the repository destination gives you continuous deployment to anywhere. I like that its flexible and doesn't lock you into a vendor.

Would you rather have continuous deployment to Heroku removed then included?

At this point use of an ad-blocker for me is no longer a question about ethics or business models or the like, but about security.

I use an ad blocker because ad networks serve malware. I'm sure they don't mean to, but they do, so I block them. I'm no longer concerned with their intent, but concerned with what is actually happening.
I think this might be a valid concern for any app store, or market as a whole. I'm thinking of Akerloff's "Market for Lemons" paper here, about the difficulty of assessing quality in advance.

Games have a sunk cost of time installing and getting started, often including a tutorial and introduction. This applies even if the game has no monetary cost. If a player finds too much of their time is wasted by bad games, they'll become more conservative and not try new games unless strongly recommended by friends.

The big games continue to do OK, but the "long tail" gets a steeper inflection point - the middle tier of games is hollowed out and the rest of the tail becomes trash and knockoffs.

grivescorbett assumes you buy one and discard it after the trade show. If that one breaks, you have to buy a second one and discard it, too. Total cost: $1,000.

Of course, at a (US) trade show, if your rented $900 tv breaks, even if they have a spare one, they will take a day to find a cart (for which you have to pay rent) to ride it to your booth (which has to be done by two union members, can’t be done while the trade show is open, so has to be done after 5 PM, doubling labor costs and requiring you to pay for keeping the floor open, too (even though they can charge that to almost all exhibitors)), and you have to pay for union members to plug in that new tv. All that hopefully after other union members unplugged the old tv, or you will be charged for using two power plugs.

(I have limited experience with this, but from that experience, the above seems only slightly exaggerated. On the trade shows I worked on, you weren’t allowed to carry the booth material you carried all the way from the airport to your booth)

Why C++ instead of a higher level language like Python? The developers could focus more on game functionality than C++ bugs and cross platform issues. Performance should not be a big concern for running an old game on modern hardware.
We rolled out 1-1s slowly and only because they received overwhelming support and positive feedback. We've run surveys which clearly show that people doing 1-1s report better communication and more satisfaction with their managers, and direct reports in parts of the company that don't do 1-1s have requested them.

I think you are again looking at a broader problem from the perspective of a single example. Also, hopefully your manager doesn't force a 1-1 to go on for a fixed amount of time even if neither of you have anything to talk about.
