Needs to be running on the host already (nothing remote), achieves full system compromise by itself, but logs you out in the process. Can wait for logout though and is fast enough to run on shutdown/reboot until 10.13.1. On 10.13.2 it takes a fair bit longer (maybe half a minute) after logging out, so if your OS logs you out unexpectedly... maybe pull the plug? And maybe don't download & run untrusted software until the bug is patched (or, you know, ever)? Also, any decent antivirus shouldn't take long to add this to their malware definitions.

Not sure if this is HN-level, but... I hope it's understandable.

In my work I identified roughly 16 major drivers of ASD, but most of them tend to manifest as a GABA/Glutmate imbalance or GABA dysfunction.

Lots of people have been cured depending on if their ASD was caused by biological dysfunction - for example I know one who had biontidinase dysfunction so biotin supplementation cured all symptoms.

Hopefully you’ve identified the driver of your ASD and it will help you achieve your goals!

I learned to deal with my personal Aspergers but despite the social issues it caused earlier in my life deeply value the weird thinking processes it has given me.
An intuitive answer has to do with the fact that a unit volume is defined by a "box" of unit side length. While a sphere with unit diameter would touch the walls of the box, the box has an exponentially large number of corners (2^dimensions) where the sphere has no presence. That is why the volume of a unit diameter sphere is much smaller than that of a unit box in high dimensions.
Buffet's comments are just nonsense though. He doesn't pay a lower rate on capital gains tax than his secretary does. Buffet is comparing federal income tax rate to capital gains tax, that's comparing two different things, like if I said I paid more in sales tax than the coupon rate on your savings bonds - maybe that's true, but so what?

The reason why capital gains are taxes less includes things like you were already taxed on the money when you earned it before investing it so the capital gains tax is the second time you're getting taxed on that money, and that capital gains tax affect the risk to return ratio of investments. In other words, if you are taxed on capital gains more that diminishes the potential gains of your investments, while leaving your potential losses alone. If the balance of risk to reward shifts too much towards "risk" then investments will fall and the whole economy will suffer.

I agree with you that our taxes should be simpler.
Do you believe that a completely in-the-open forum would be manageable? By this, I mean things like:

- Everyone gets to see...
- who does the up/down votes.
- what any moderators' decisions/actions are
- what the algorithms for viewing real estate
- etc.

Some other aspects:

- The "forum" (and all inter-user communication) lives on a block chain-like merkle-DAG.
- The real estate algorithms would be customizable, i.e. you have varying views on the same data.
- The "forum" would also act as chat rooms, todo lists, picture galleries, and more...
This year I sat down to write some 2018 resolutions and realized that I've either already been successfully beeminding them for a few months, or am waiting to add beeminder goals in the next few months.

I wrote down resolutions before and never stuck to them. Beeminder is a gamechanger.

I can validate and top the mattress thing. I get ads for expensive cruise ship voyages most of the time ($25K for two portholes looking out at Antarctica for two weeks, per person; one can dream).

Letting mobile operators build LTE base stations is a far better one; expecting people to buy/carry/test 406MHz beacons (as opposed to a cell phone, which they test by virtue of regularly using it) to call for a tow truck is folly.

NIMBY objections to operators installing base stations really shouldn't override people's ability to summon appropriate (a car breaking down in extremely cold weather doesn't need a full-on SAR response, but it does need a response) emergency services.

Also if someone is using their phone in a national park, you can always walk the hell away from them; your laziness doesn't entitle you to prevent the buildout of cell service that can save lives.

Well, that's probably a good and healthy point of view. I think that I'm too cynical in many areas of life.

But I have been trained to see 'ad = bad', and I've been jaded with how ads have seeped into every part of every form of media. I guess I'm willing to forego the occasional good-but-unsolicited recommendation in favor of caution, which might not be the best attitude.

But it's still an attitude that I have. Chalk it up to the bad actors.

In 2017 I started working on the 'reboot' of the Kurento project, an open-source WebRTC media server (http://www.kurento.org)

It's been quite a busy year because a new team had to be formed almost from the start -due to the previous team leaving the ship- and also over the months I've been slowly getting in charge of all maintenance and development work.

Progress is slow but steady, last couple months have been dedicated to prepare a new release that will be the first step in the way of recovering contact with the community, and keeping the project relevant and useful.

My 2017 resolution was to become involved with my local and regional community (outside of tech). It has been a tremendously fulfilling experience. My 2018 resolution is to do more public speaking/teaching in it. I am done doing the usual fitness, diet, etc. ones. I either do them already or not at all. But these new ones that took me three decades to try have been more fulfilling and more fun than anything else.

The article doesn't say the odds are 10^-31. It says 10^-31 percent. So really the odds are less than one in 10^33.
On the other hand, how often are birth certificates legitimately used for identifying physical characteristics of people?

For example, if my accountant absconds with the payroll, and I'm describing him or her to the police, they are going to go by photos, descriptions from me and others who know the accountant, and so on. I doubt that they are going to go track down a birth certificate to help with identification.

I can see harm from putting sex or gender on birth certificates: some of the states that have enacted anti-trans bathroom laws have written those laws to say that you must use the bathroom that matches your birth certificate. Maybe if it is not listed on the birth certificate, it will make it harder for those states to enforce those laws.

So, we've got a tangible harm from having it there, and I can't think of anything it really NEEDS to be there for, so I'm OK with it being omitted.

Something to note, is that most commercial aircraft can glide for anything from 20 to 30 minutes from cruising altitude before they reach sea level. I recall reading many news reports of this particular 747 'plunging' to the earth when all engines failed, but that is not the case.

As noted in the article -

> Eventually, after quarter of an hour without any power, the engines were brought back to life.

In fact, every time your pilot/flight attendant announces that you are on descent to your destination airport, the pilots will have pulled the throttle back to flight idle, and your aircraft is essentially gliding down towards the airport. Engines are pretty much not spooled back up until you are on finals, and the undercarriage/flaps etc. are causing a lot of drag necessitating engine power again to maintain approach speed.

The current reward for mining is super lame, just a few characters in a leaderboard.

If I were implementing something like this, I'd do something like a crossover between Reddit's Place project and the million dollar homepage, where you mine x amount of coin in order to place a pixel on a shared canvas.

Right now there's no psychological motivation to continue mining, especially because if someone arrives late in the game, they have almost 0 chance of rising to the top of the leaderboard, so why even bother?

My perspective changed a lot when I started thinking about how to write a song that has that effect on a large crowd, or assemble a set that has the right elements of calm and intensity to illicit the reaction people are there to have. Suddenly, it seems less inevitable, and more like art.
Agree with your sentiment.

Three cases:

1. I know a bus driver for the local school district that doesn't necessarily like his job, but he does it. He looks forward to retiring with a pension.

2. My father wasn't necessarily passionate about his drafting job, but still worked that job as a means to an end--support his family and pay for and enjoy his hobbies. He now enjoys his retirement and travels the world with his wife.

3. A brother-in-law works at his local hardware store. He doesn't specifically like it but it helps him buy his man-toys and care for his family and horses.

I really don't know what each of their dream job is, but it's obvious to me they have different goals than I.

Honestly it was a bit of a shock to me to realize that people work jobs that aren't what they're passionate about, and it doesn't bother them. It's a means to an end.

It made me realize that a lot of us (myself included--as a software type) are (too?) emotionally involved in our jobs. We've basically turned our hobby into our job; the means has become the end, really, to the point that we can't fathom someone working a job they aren't passionate about.

My opinion (and my experience with others) is that people want to work so they can sustain their desired lifestyle; it often doesn't matter the job they have so long as it helps them reach their goals. In fact I've known some folks who pursued software (degree-based or otherwise) simply to achieve their goals and support their (non-software or whatever) hobbies.

The main problem is that no one is going to setup their own Kubernetes cluster, it has become a commodity cloud service. You might run minikube on your laptop, but unless you are a large company with a dedicated Kubernetes team you are not going to run it yourself.

Docker swarm is easier and better if you just need a small local cluster. Though for most things just a single system setup with docker-compose will suffice.
A case of a successful police negotiation with Telstraists? :)

NB for international readers - Telstra is our local Australian national carrier and the telco at the centre of the story.

Maybe I should call in the police to negotiate my case with them too - my office line redirection has been down for weeks, and no support agent can solve it while on the phone. They have 3x now given me a callback text with a web link to resume the call that never works. First thing in 2008 I am cancelling my Telstra phone service!

To each his own I guess. I find being an engineer to be far less stress than I imagine product managers are under. As a engineer I can just "not care" about whatever random business case is being handled and focus on writing code and honing my skills. Having to care about $company_name's business problems sounds soul draining to say the least.
If that's the case, then your question as phrased is a little bit disingenuous or flamebaity. Asking for measurements or evidence of how this was implemented is legitimate, and something I, too, would be interested in learning; insinuating that your parent was being euphemistic or misleading is another. Please ask questions in good faith.

What's really screwed up is that several people that made that god-awful decision have now moved on to different companies (with pay raises I'm sure). So not only did they make an objectively terrible decision, but they also left the mess to whomever it ended up falling in the lap of, and not only that, but they got rewarded for it, too!

Corporate software engineering is insanity.
what's the point of using xmm registers when they'll get clobbered (or have to be moved back to memory) whenever you need to do a floating point operation? at least with ymm/zmm you can hope that you're not using AVX.

>The reason why we won't be considering other operating systems is because the System V ABI doesn't preserve any of the XMM registers between calls and puts the burden on the caller to save them on the stack. If you think about it, this sort of defeats the purpose of using a register buffer if we're always going to be pushing our bytes to memory in user space.

as opposed to windows? regardless of whether it's the caller/callee's job to preserve registers, the result is the same.

100 average => the service has to do 1000 req/s during active business hours.

It's not much for anyone who is used to high scale system but it is a lot more than the average application can take without effort. It's gonna require quite a few cores, disks and bandwidth to achieve. Definitely not gonna run on a single cheap instance.
Spent 9 months of the year developing a REST API for a project that is launching in the coming months whilst finishing my CS degree online (finish in May). Have learned a lot along the way, mainly more about the HTTP protocol in general but also unit testing and working with third-party contractors that are building SDK's to interface with my API. All in all been a very challenging year professionally but have learned a lot of lessons that will help in the years ahead.

I lived next door to Sandy Hook when it happened. A relative of mine was a student in their school system and for a while I didn’t know if she was alive or dead. My town and towns around it have events every year honoring each person that died in the shooting. Yeah it’s a little close to home both figuratively and literally.

And I never said anything about not caring about other gun deaths. I don’t have a magical scale to weigh lives, and say which gun deaths are more meaningful objectively, but my solution to most of these is exactly the same: repeal the second amendment. Don’t let suicidal middle aged men buy guns. Don’t let legally owned guns become illegally owned guns. Don’t pawn them, privately sell them, hide them, find them, etc. Don’t put them in the hands of 12 year olds, or 50 year olds. What does seem true to me is that you almost never see a story where the gun made a difference and a life was saved. The NRA loooooves to talk about self defense the reason to sacrifice the poor, the defenseless, and the sick every damn year. Yet there is no damn evidence for this.

Also yes sure you can say schools are “safe” because it might not happen at yours. Add churches, malls, movie theaters, concerts, etc. and the picture gets a lot bleaker.

This experiment with guns has clearly failed. Arming a bunch of civilians and glorifying gun culture to the point of fetishism turns out leads to a not insignificant amount of death, a good chunk of which is innocent bystanders. So we can spend another year or ten or 100 pretending that this is a good idea or we can repeal the second amendment and start over. I am willing to bet that mayhem and pandemonium won’t happen and instead we would learn that not having a bunch of people armed to the teeth is a good idea.

If people aren't scared of automation there won't be any political pressure to restrict automation. This will probably increase the adoptation rate so I'd say it matters a lot in the discussion.

There will be problems because of automation and I think most Swedes realize this. The safety nets that are in place provide a buffer, and possible solutions, if you should loose your job because of it. I'd say that's where the optimistic attitude in this article comes from.

Sustaining those safety nets is indeed going to be hard if unemployment increases. There probably won't be any "silver bullet" solution to the problem either.

Most public and even private universities are non profit. The American system is very service-heavy (smaller class sizes, lots of hand holding), while what you want is the German system, where your education is almost free but all they give you is have a lecture with a huge audience and one or two graded tests per semester. This is also kind of the opposite of a boot camp, which is an accelerated program that relies on lots of support.
So if someone throws a firecracker near an active US police situation all the officers are just going to open fire on whatever is in front of their gun barrels?

This is a nice taxonomy of knowledge. I tend to feel that discussion in development circles revolves too much around the newest technologies (long before they've proven themselves), and not enough around the stable mainstays of the profession. This is fine for seasoned professionals, but lulls newcomers into investing into niche tech, like Meteor or the blockchain. That time is probably better spent learning a text editor, GNU/Linux, Postgres, and Python. I guess that's the lesson: the technology that's most discussed is not necessarily the tech that's the best to learn.
