This would still get picked up by the early warning systems of rival nations (i.e. Russia). You can't hide a launch. You CAN pretend it failed, though.
Fair enough but relatively recently listed. I guess Australia is probably a serial unicorn maker.
> Let's assume no bad faith.

Sounds good. Let's also assume data-driven decision-making.

> failing to (a) appreciate the damage a security vulnerability (or exploit) can cause

As far as I'm aware, neither of these is known to have resulted in damage yet, so as far as I'm know there is nothing to fail to appreciate.

> failing to (b) receive timely notice of said occurrences

This is a problem if and only if the above damages actually do occur more quickly than the people in charge have time to act. So it loops back to the above.
_______________________________________

EDIT: It seems everyone is misunderstanding my point. I'm not looking at this from the standpoint of either of the parties. Yes, they can sue for damages, and perhaps they even should. That's perfectly fine! That has nothing to do with what I was trying to say.

Rather, I'm looking at the problem from an 'outer' standpoint -- the same perspective I would assume a lawmaker would have (or at least should have), which is the perspective of: "Is the system able to handle its problems?" If the legal system can already handle this "exception" and sort out the problems and hand out appropriate penalties for everyone involved, then the system is working as designed, i.e. we fail to have grounds for e.g. requiring early disclosure. On the other hand, if people who are not parties to the case are getting hacked and/or having their identities stolen, then that is a failure of the legal system that needs to be addressed, e.g. by requiring timely disclosure.

Basically, the fact is that we all like timely disclosure (myself included) and yet we are failing to explicitly show what problem exactly it would solve. So far, it is not clear that earlier disclosure would have prevented any problems that we are already seeing. If and when we get solid data to that effect, then we have grounds for blaming lawmakers and demanding change.

I've never lived in SF, but the apartments here in Dallas are luxurious and much cheaper. It was the exact opposite in Chicago, where every place I stayed at was a dump
More specifically, the meltdown patch primarily affect memory bound applications, not necessarily computations, although those usually overlap for CPU bound applications.
One thing that is bafflingly absurd of the american legal system is that any admission of guilt makes you liable for any consequence. So stonewalling is the only choice.

Intel can be trapped as a company to find half-way solutions, because proposing any of them can force them to do full-way solutions. Result, this vulnerability will last forever.
I don't see why its so far fetched that a republican staffer who is anti SpaceX would leak a report (or contents of it) to an anti SpaceX journalist. Northrop is trying to save face so of course they are going to point the finger at SpaceX.
I’ve never worked on satellites but isn’t the engineering not lost at all? What’s lost is all the manufacturing and verification that went into this one copy. Wouldn’t manufacturing a second copy be like an order of magnitude less effort/cost? Or is the cost of a satellite mostly just manufacturing?
Clearly it was not a success. Lawmakers were briefed on a failure because it was a failure.

Payload seems to have failed to separate and it burned in the atmosphere. Failure to separate is almost certaionly on SpaceX.
Apparently "many" means 2 instances of nonsense where I did nothing wrong. ZERO WARNINGS -- that is a flat-out lie.

You're a little microcosm of Mark Zuckerburg Supreme Brother Leader telling everyone at facebook that they had to agree with his liberal wacky politics or else. I bet I know who you voted for in the last election "dang." You have your little Liberal Club here on HN, and fellow Liberal Club members are permitted -- encouraged! -- to spout and rant as much liberal ideology as they want until they're blue in the face. If you dare to disagree with and speak out against that nonsense with equal weight, "You're violating our guidelines! We gave you repeated warnings!!"

Fascism is regarded as a far-right ideology but no one imitates their style of governance better than so-called liberals.
Yes it's pretty crazy. They ship it to the US to be refined. Then they buy it back. Sounds like a huge bloated organization with little regards to efficiency.

You can, of course, do this yourself with separate accounts for each service, as long as the services are actually different and can be used separately.

For instance, I have a Google account for using Google (the search product), but a separate account for YouTube, and if I used Google Domains or Gmail, I would definitely have separate accounts for those things as well.
Not for classified info, they wouldn't.

Also, Northrop didn't point any fingers at SpaceX. They can't even say anything about the mission as it's classified.
Its competitors are not.
So is WPA3 defective by design, then? I sure don't trust modern NSA-designed algorithms.
I would be interested to see the case law that backs your claim.

As an example, if I give a broker stock and then ask for it back, they have to give me the stock back, not the cash value at the time I handed it to them.

Also, I'd like to see what law you have in mind when you say ETH is not a currency. Is there some special legal recognition for "real" currencies? If so, what law specifically distinguishes them?
I'm sorry but I need to call this out. There is no difference between equality of opportunities and equality of outcomes for any significant population size. The latter is a direct consequence of the former; and anyone that believes we are close to having equality of opportunities in America is wilfully ignorant.
The problem with this argument is that while high-jumping is an obvious function of physical traits that may be more prevalent in males, it's not that easy to draw a straight correlation - let alone complete causation - for career selection.

Damore's manifesto purports to present evidence that there "maybe" are inherent differences between genders ("may" and "might" are also sprinkled all over the place for good measure.) He even acknowledges that this is far from a complete picture. But then he goes on to conclude that:

1) That must explain the existing gender distribution in engineering

2) Google trying to explore doing outreach to increase diversity must necessarily imply discrimination of the unfairly oppressed white heterosexual male

So trying to dismiss all criticism by splitting hairs over whether he meant that the average, the median, or all women are uninterested in engineering completely misses the point that either way the conclusions are unwarranted. The whole thing smacks of persecution complex first, finding "evidence" later.
>Oh, and because it's a classified mission, we don't even know if the mission was INTENDED to stay in orbit.

More like, it intentionally sent "something" into de-orbit so it's not clear whether there's something up there or not
No, SpaceX clearly said it was a success, and that the rocket performed nominally as planned. [s]Payload separation is part of rocket performance, so that means that it performed as planned.[/s](EDIT:Just kidding. Payload adapter was provided by Northrop, so actually separation was Northrop's responsibility. Normally, SpaceX provides the adapter and would be responsible.) Lawmakers would be briefed if it were a classified mission with a misinformation campaign, too.

This is a successful SpaceX launch (and assuming payload sep was even planned, it would've been performed by Northrop Grumman's payload adapter).

EDIT: I should point out that Northrop actually provided the payload adapter and handled integration: https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=43976.msg1...
S Voice by Samsung, found on the Gear S3. It's a watch with a full color screen and a cell modem, an amazing bit of hardware. Voice command does not work well at all though. I would love having Google Now on it.

Unfortunately the genie is out of the bottle already. The web by and large requires javascript, and it's not likely to change anytime soon. So we are stuck with the situation where the defenders (the hardware and software designers) have to be correct 100% of the time on a platform that is constantly changing. The attackers only need to be right once. Maybe someday everything will just be streaming video or something, but that is a long way off.

As for relying on users ability to determine what code is safe to download... It's not like users can be relied on to do the right thing all the time even without javascript. People respond to phishing attacks, download executables sent to their email, reuse passwords... I think a sandbox is a better solution than relying on users to understand what code is trustworthy and what isn't.
I bet they don't because it's classified.

Isn't "extrajurisdictional company" a contradiction in terms? A company is a legal vehicle, which requires laws, which requires jurisdiction.

Without a legal company, it would seem that under the law you are just some individuals conducting business. Is that not the case?
Can someone explain what this is about?

> As we detailed in a deep-dive blog post last year, privacy reasons make it basically impossible to load the page from the publisher’s server. Publishers shouldn’t know what people are interested in until they actively go to their pages. Instead, AMP pages are loaded from the Google AMP Cache but with that behavior the URLs changed to include the google.com/amp/ URL prefix.

To me, this reads as "for our privacy, we don't tell the publisher what page has loaded" but that may be an uncharitable interpretation.
I read the referenced blog post and it didn't clear up anything about the "privacy" issues.

No, but if you could make Variational Quantum Monte Carlo work better by starting with a good variational guess in your quantum simulator....
You are arguing against yourself here. Having the mean and 95th/99th percentile is going to give you a better picture of the distribution than mean alone. Mean alone actually doesn’t give you ANY idea of the distribution. I don’t know why OP is being downvoted, managing to 95th percentile is very common practice and I also thought was a missing addition to the article.
Yeah! Just like Equifax really got nailed ... wait.

useful links, thank you.
The problem that JSC is dealing with is that Spectre allows untrusted JS code to read things from the memory of the process that runs it. We don't want to allow that, but I don't think your proposed solution would fix it.
Ok, so really it's just about targeting a leaner body composition, that makes a lot more sense. Thank you.
This is a very detailed answer. Thanks for sparing your time.

I found the interdb.jp resource shortly after posting this question, it looks like a good resource however it doesn’t have the chapter on query optimizations translated as yet. I will definitely read the rest as on quick glance it looks very well written!
China wants an orderly exit from Bitcoin mining
That’s changing. They’re building higher up in Redwood City, South SF, and the surrounding areas. It’s costly to replace the older model of American development from the 50’s. They waited until the last minute to start working on the issue.
There's a reason I encourage calling a collection of epics a "fantasy".

Anyone know of a good gem to use with the Watson API. The watson-api-client gem is in Alpha, I was hoping for a more developed gem to build a chat bot. Any suggestions?
He did not profit from it at their expense, though. The people he sold stock to were already going to buy stock at the same or worse price, just from someone else. There may be a good case to be made that he should have been required to disclose that there was an important vulnerability, but insider trading laws don't solve this problem or make the people he sold to better off.

The people he is profiting at the expense of are not the investors who buy the stocks he sells or the investors who would have otherwise sold to the former investors, but the investors who would, many months later, once the vulnerability was public, sell or short the Intel stock. There isn't really any reason these people should profit from the information rather than anyone else, and the CEO isn't interacting with them in any way.
Garum is pretty much a spice though. As the father of a half-Cambodian child, i can assure you that fermented fish sauces are treated like a spice and not a side dish.
Your argument also applied to other circumstances where the computer only runs trusted code. For example a fully FLOSS software stack on home computer with JavaScript disabled in the browser.

Sorry, I had to respond to your comment because it's attempting to derail parent's long list of difficulties faced by smaller weaker nations.

Basically, the US, is just another empire in the pages of history. It is not the all bright shining red white and blue in which you've been brainwashed to believe. The rest of the world certainly doesn't buy that bullshit.

Just read about United Fruit Company. It's one of the many if not hundreds of cases where US corporations became the vanguard of US foreign policy to extract economic, military, and political concessions by forcing them to go under debt (which they can't pay back).

Iran is another excellent example where Kermit Roosevelt (Grandson of Ted Roosevelt) was able to bribe and influence the prince to plot against his own father in order to extract their oil.

It's not just Iran but Indonesia and pretty much every fucking corner of the world where they are able to bribe the elite of those countries.

Did USSR do the same shit? Would they have done the same shit to the country had US not? Of course! Because they are all giant countries with continuous need for resources in order to keep their place.

So the US is just another empire but because of the nuclear threat that USSR posed, they couldn't just invade countries out right (in fact it's A) Bribe B) Assassinate/Coup C) military), so it evolved into this clandestine network of corporate interests to do what all empires do: take shit because North America wasn't enough.

It just infuriates me to see people attempting to take the moral higher ground by trying to point fingers at other countries that managed to stand their ground by building up their own fuck-you-stick. It makes me sad how ignorant some Americans can be, but can you blame them?

Literally, the same old tricks of every empire that came before it and it will be replaced by another one that will do what empires do best.
These are publicly designed algorithms that are widely used. It just so happens that the NSA also recommends then.
Google's primary business model, is literally to build the worlds best, most gigantic person-classification engine, and classify people with it. To sell shit.

Visibility = Speed
that dabbled in an ideology-driven "free market" approach. The result are the suburban hell-holes that are Atlanta, or parts of Houston: Low-density clone cities totally reliant on cars, with much longer commutes and huge environmental footprints, almost devoid of street life.

I assume because that's what people want?

HNers seem to think a downtown core existence is the best and apparently aren't aware there is a big group of people who don't want that.
The number of security events that have significantly affected stock values is very limited. Only equifax comes to mind.

If I recall correctly, Weev tried to short AT&T in advance of the iPad hack, but only got a tiny intra-day dip. The stock that week ended higher every day.

It is risky to short based on security mistakes. I am willing to give this guy the benefit of the doubt. I wish the financial markets valued security more. There just isn’t a lot of evidence to support that hypothesis.

My guess is he's lying about it.
So, having finally gone through this in detail, what strikes me the most about this as a legal filing is that it seems very unlikely to be certified as a class action. A class action usually required a simple factual mechanism to identify class members; part of the point of a class action is to avoid needing to litigate the details of each individual case.

But instead of identifying a specific, readily identifiable class that is affected, the classes in this suit are defined as any Google employee against whom Google engaged in certain classes of illegal discrimination in California in a given timeframe; this require litigating individual discrimination claims for each potential class member to determine if they are a class member. Since class members have to be identified and given a chance to opt-out before settlement or trial, this is impractical—its what a class action exists to avoid.

Compare to the Microsoft sex discrimination class action, which defined the class as all women employed in defined roles and levels in particular parts of the organization during a given timeframe.

Also, a class lead plaintiff’s claims—not just the law claimed to be violated but the specific manner—are supposed to be typical of the class; while it's very hard to make any guesses of what would be typical of such an ill-defined class, Damore’s case seems to all appearanced to be sui generis. Maybe I'm missing something, but the class action aspect here seems to be either a complete Hail Mary or a ploy for additional media attention.
And how does that apply to what it was replied to, namely this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16100002

If "but they're not you" (what they? there is no they in that comment) is such a great argument that it absolutely needs a response, "you're not the person you're talking to, stop trying to influence them, they're not you" is a sufficient one. Your own medicine, take it first.

What does the word "nominally" even mean in this context (performed "nominally")? This word has permeated through technical discourse lately. My coworkers use it excessively, usually understood as "on average" or "to a first approximation", but the word itself literally means "in name only". It's just a technical-sounding word engineers use to indicate they're guessing or don't have numbers to back something up, and to me that's exactly how it reads here, too.
Reminds me of Battlestar Galactica. The humans were so (wisely) fearful of the Cylons that their ship computers were not networked in anyway. For their risk/reward trade-off curve, the benefit from having computer networks were not worth the risk of the Cylons being able to compromise the entire ship. All communication was either verbal or done via fax printed to paper and so had to go through human intermediaries.
The post makes the case that they don't want the publisher to know that AMP thinks the user would want to visit, and that's more of a matter of the user's privacy, since that implementation would have the user's user-agent as the origin.

Instead, the concern is sidestepped by the extra indirection: the user's user-agent will load the prefetches from the AMP cache.

How much of this is moot given that many browsers, including Chrome, offer speculative fetching as a feature, is debatable.
Transportation isn't always about the cost, it has a major impact on the quality of the food too. Not only is shipped food less fresh but it requires plant varieties that are hardy enough to withstand the trip, and often means produce is picked before it's quite ripe. I dare you to find a tomato from the most tomato-friendly part of the world that is better than a locally grown heirloom.
