Thanks Stuart, well we have a basic value proposition. We believe that online trust is the most important factor for success. Our app is designed to understand the content of people’s character through community moderation.

Once the trust is established we believe this will enable a whole new world of service offerings. Imagine if you could hire a CPA at an affordable rate similar to how you can hire a car today at an affordable rate using Uber.

I think there is much to show how to leverage container in development. I personally still struggling to get my mindset fix on using containers than running locally. It gets me every time and this makes me feel sad as if I am not in touch with the trend. If people were so stereotype about age and workers, which is not really true as my older coworkers are just as competent and as curious and as willing to adopt new technologies, now I find myself in that stereotype fallacy. But I feel helpless. Anyone?

If I had to guess, he waited a month, got blown off, and said, "Fuck it."

Also -- I feel like the underlying bug, ie relying on values in a volatile variable that is shared -- are the sort of thing that source code could be systematically tested for, both mechanically and by humans. But my strong impression is that Apple doesn't care about MacOS and definitely doesn't put the A team on it. Or even the B team.
Irony of ironies!
It seems several of the exchanges suffer from this. Are you already fully verified? Have you already withdrawn or is that the first time? Also are you in the US?

Fingers crossed, in my case I first verified everything, and both deposited and withdrew cash in the last couple of months. It wasn't quick, but it wasn't as long as 13 business days. More like 6-8.

> So somehow, sometime, we have to stop relying on income-tax, and start relying on some kind of productivity tax instead, and forge a new social contract based on that.

I don't think that's actually true, absent tax evasion. Take the limiting case of the "fewer people being more productive" scenario- someday only one person in Sweden participates in economic work (who operates all the robots, or whatever.) Since all economic production is hers, her salary is essentially equivalent to Sweden's GDP. Tax her at whatever absurd rate Sweden would tax such a person, and you can definitely pay for the social safety net.

(Actually, Sweden collects much more in taxes in that scenario than in the present day, since the entire salary base is being taxed at the highest possible income bracket.)

This is perhaps counter-intuitive, and possibly irrelevant, because we're accustomed to high earners not paying taxes like ordinary folk do. In the above scenario, Sweden's sole worker would likely spend some effort trying to hide her income in the Canary Islands. Whether productivity-concentration harms social safety nets eventually comes down to the tax authorities' ability to stop that kind of behaviour.
I grew the team for our startup. We hired more people with distinct and complementary skills. Our startup develops virtual reality social productivity applications. We are totally bootstrapped and will officially launch this year.
Cost of resources was once the limiting factor for production, and as manual labour is automated it might be once again.

One idea is to tax natural resources higher, and labour lower, in order to incentivize more effective production. Of course with the risk that all we get is a new form of tax havens.
Those systems introduced 3D gaming, like the Atari 2600 and it's contemporaries introduced home video games. However, there's not that many great games from either of those times. I enjoy playing the Atari generation games because of the intense focus on gameplay and immediacy of the platform, but it's hard to get others interested. I expect the same is true outside of a very few 3d titles from that era between load times, poor textures, bad cameras, etc. (But maybe I'm just old and grumpy)
> But nonetheless spec authors picked compatibility over security. I would not.

Most of the compatibility compromises don't seem to sacrifice security - except perhaps for increased attack surface, and a more complicated spec (but I'm not sure that leads to a more complicated implementation, so much as it's more thoroughly covering any downgrade dance?)

If there are more security sacrifices to achieve compatibility, I agree with you - that's bad.
Precisely. The most wealthy people are also the most mobile and most able to jurisdiction shop. Wealthy Swedes may have a certain affection to Sweeden, but would probably move (to Singapore, for example) rather than pay 95% income tax.
that's like arguing that English is a better language than say Welsh, simply because more great literature has been written in it because it's more popular. But by all accounts Welsh is a great language that happens to be spoken by fewer people.

This looks like the usual greyhat posturing to me. He could have gone with "coordinated disclosure" and talked to Apple. Or he could have sold a local vulnerability for whatever that fetches on the black market. But he thought that boasting about it on the tech web would benefit his personal brand more than either of those routes, so this happened.
The "responsible" disclosure term is a pretty devious piece of marketing, because it creates situations such as this very thread.

Its use carries an implicit catch that anything that does not meet the narrow definitions of "responsible" is the opposite. Without naming names there are vendors that have been pretty terrible at handling their end of "responsible" disclosure and appear to be getting worse, down to not even acknowledging there is a problem or even that they have been notified of a problem.

The alternative to disclosing a vulnerability is non-disclosure and, frankly, that's what some vendors mean when they say "responsible".

When you run a business each man hour of work costs money. While appengine charges a premium, it saves a lot of the overhead work of running a service.

Think about it this way. When you use appengine Google has an sre making sure your application is up and running. It makes sure it auto scales up and down. Deals with zero day security updates. And gives you a release rollout procedure. Logging is hooked in as well.

Sure you can do all of that, but at most companies it's not unheard of to cost about 50-100$/hour of SWE work.

Being a CS major is fine, but being an engineer does kind of suck. My sister went from junior engineer to product manager and is much happier. I'm currently on a sort of sabbatical and working on a few personal startup-ish projects, but when I get back in the workforce (probably a few months unless one of my projects really takes off), I'll try to do something similar.
How much do you drink a day? a week?

What made you want to stop?

I can help you out based on your responses.

It's doable, the first few days can be rough for the body but after that it's mostly in our heads. I've learned that people who are enthusiastic about drinking and getting others drunk usually have some other issues going on under the surface. Some people can just drink a few times a year or month, not me. I'm an all or nothing person, life got easier once I accepted that.

As for how I did it, it boils down to just making two columns on a sheet of paper and listing how alcohol has helped and how alcohol has hurt you. It became an easy decision after I did that.
> Antibiotics for animals will need prescriptions

Impressive.
Aaand it's back up
Let's not kid ourselves. Everyone making that much money forms a social class that works to reengineer society to protect themselves, doctors included. However, we have engineered the system to make it look as though they deserve that much money by working students to exhaustion and saddling them with debt and poor working conditions. If we changed that, it wouldn't seem necessary to let specialists earn 250-700k+ per year. It's hard to believe that any of this is necessary or wise in a medical system.

Professional guilds like lawyers and doctors also limit the number of people in the field to protect wages. The AMA has been essentially an enemy of the people that works to milk the CPT codes. The grift is that a procedure typically is X$ and takes Y hrs to perform. They recommend that some are easier and harder and create a cheap CPT code and an expensive CPT code. This seems fair. Then everyone marks all procedures that can be remotely justified as such as the expensive CPT. There are other grifts but this is one way that
health care costs inflate over time.
It’s not « preconceived »: Vendors have very low bounties, not even covering the time spent on 1 issue (none for macOS I think) and the reason researchers are working with them is more the drawback of working in black hat than the reward of white hats.

I wonder if S&R planes are equipped with a device that can simulate a cell tower. If/when it detects the lost party's phone, it can provide a search radius and potential comms channel (depending on signal strength).

Basically a Stingray device for geolocation purposes instead of surveillance.
The author shows us how he felt, and tells us “this is what it’s like to like things.”

But that doesn’t seem right at all. I like reading books, and I like watching some shows and playing video games. I’m not invested in owning them, or in the community experience of watching what everyone else recently has. This is what it’s like to define your identity by what you own and by what you participate in. Like a Cubs fan, maybe—you can do that, and you can care about winning, and you can care about having popular opinions, but maybe you should pick one of those three.
> Know complexity and scalability: Every time I had to code something, I was asked about the time and space complexity as well as whether I can simply make it more efficient. Now and then, I was also asked what would happen if the input became gigantic so it wouldn't work on a single machine anymore. It's crucial to have answers here.

I was interviewed by a startup a few years ago (not naming names as they might be lurking HN) and they asked me exactly this kind of question: can you build scalable systems, what's your experience with tons of people hitting your API, and so on and so forth. I was thinking to myself "holy shit they must really be blowing up" only to find out 15 minutes later in the conversation that their API was being hit like 200 times a month.
Thanks. I've learned to accept that I can't do anything about most of what's happening around the world but I can do something about my daily decisions.

I'm not sure how you put GitHub in the mix to acquire Docker, they are not a very big company in terms of revenue (currently they talk about a $200m run rate, which is pitiful even compared to RedHat).

But I agree Microsoft is the most likely buyer. They are probably just waiting for the bottom to fall out for Docker and they can snap it up for the right price.

We really ought to ban the word "fair" from discussions about tax rates. Fairness is totally subjective and that just derails the conversation.

It would be more productive to focus on outcomes. How can we structure the tax system to prevent civil disorder ("let them eat cake"), keep people out of extreme poverty, and avoid burdening wealthy individuals so much that they emigrate to lower-tax countries?

I can't help but be reminded of this classic /r/legaladvice thread:

> My niece has gotten into veganism and animal rights. She basically destroyed a bee farm near where she lives by sneaking in there in the middle of the night, trying to release the bees and destroying all the hives and the honeymaking equipment [...] She is not 18 yet but the cops are going to charge her as an adult. They say she caused almost $100,000 in damage.

I don't ever remember signing a social contract. How about we just get rid of it, or at least call it something different.

Calling something a "contract" implies that other people agree to it. But in reality, the "social contract" that we follow now was created by people who are hundreds years dead, and never asked anyone else if they wanted to join it or not.

Maybe it is good that this "contract" is ending.
I feel bad for the bees.
The complexity of obtaining blood for people with the rarest blood types (2014)
I had actually submitted to the ZDI, but had written the exploit & write-up in the first place mainly because I like hacking rather than for money. I figured I'd see what offers I'd get anyway, but once I had spent all the time on the write-up, I mainly wanted people to see that, and the amount offered wasn't enough to convince me otherwise. I might've published this earlier even, but my December was kinda busy, first with the v0rtex exploit and then with 34C3.

And an engineer from Apple's security team contacted me a bit after releasing - they had found the bug a while ago, but hadn't verified the subsequent patch which actually didn't fix it. And a while ago I tweeted this https://twitter.com/s1guza/status/921889566549831680 (try diff'ing sources to find it :P). So they do have people on it.
I also told that person to extend my condolences to whoever has to come in and fix that now, but they basically said that there's nothing to apologise for and that they (the team) really like such write-ups. So... I guess I'm not that evil?

And I neither wanna watch the world burn nor did anyone brush me the wrong way - I didn't publish this out of hate, but out of love for hacking. If you're concerned about skids hacking you now, they need to get code execution first on your machine. If you're concerned about people who can do that, then those can also get kernel r/w without me, so... nothing really changed for the average user.

PS: Yes, it's really me. Will add keybase proof if my karma gets >= 2. Edit: done, see my profile.
You don't extend cell phone coverage across millions of acres of protected national park space for edge cases like "saving someone's life". How many deaths in National Parks in the last 10 years can be attributed to lack of cell phone coverage? You've just made up a non-issue. There aren't, as you say, a lot of interests to balance in this case. Your argument is like that used by the State about exercising its massive surveillance project for the sake of catching child molesters. Sure, some good will be made but at great cost and for primary motives other than those brought to light.
Just go to Amazon and search for reverse osmosis systems. They go under your sink and are quite easy to install.

Maybe if more people would disclose such vulnerabilities “irresponsibly”, vendors would develop their software more responsibly. Just my 2 cents ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
>Yes, but the simplistic version of the argument is that any entity with such a large stake would be inherently incentivized to preserve the value of the currency and act in good faith.

This logic is, as you say, simplistic. Anyone with such a large stake can cash out, and then use their former large stake to fabricate an alternative chain in which they did not cash out, forking the blockchain at the block just before they cashed out. Commonly proposed defenses against this (checkpointing) are limited because when new nodes enter the network, they are in a naive state where they do not know who to trust.

In a proof of work system, the entire blockchain can be validated by a naive node. Fraudulent blockchains could be constructed and fed to naive nodes, but they would be obvious forgeries because they would have to be constructed at lower network difficulties in order to generate blocks faster than the real network and become the longest chain.

In a proof of stake system, people who formerly had stake in the system can simulate fraudulent alternative histories forked at the point before they cashed out, and feed those histories to naive nodes. If enough naive nodes accept the alternative history, it becomes the accepted chain. The possibility exists that these former stakeholders might use some of their cashed out money to start up many nodes in the cloud and feed their alternative chains to those nodes.

The only real way to defend against this is to have trusted nodes coded into the protocol provide bootstrapping data to naive nodes. Once you do that, your network is no longer trustless.
