I'm sure everyone here can agree with your statement, yet you're being downvoted to oblivion. Consider that.
But that'd still be vulnerable.

The issue isn't that you can read whatever was in/got brought into cache, the issue is that you can tell which part of the cache got evicted and infer values based on that.
I think the reason you don't often see spam on GitHub is also a matter of convenience. While GitHub as a whole is very large, there are few people reading a specific issue, and posting spam elsewhere doesn't really make sense (nobody will look at your "buy-viagra-now" repo, nor will many people notice a new issue/PR called "Buy Viagra now"). And even then, you can assume that all readers are sufficiently tech-aware and won't fall for direct spam. From the spammers' point of view, you're wasting resources on a platform that has virtually zero chances of yielding visitors, as opposed to mail spamming which has higher chances in virtue of higher visibility and less conscious users.

I would like to know too, if it really is some odd phenomena that everyone so far is missing.

If I had to pin it to any one guess, I would maybe go with imports. Beer imports were always around to some extent, but it was also the way that consumers got the other tastes they couldn't find at the football game.

In fact, if I had to think back to when I was a kid, there was always that one uncle who enjoyed drinking imports over typical 'domestic', and maybe that 90's uncle is basically the same person today as a craft-IPA drinking millennial. Distributors accommodate more imports as brands get acquired, and maybe that's the gateway. I suppose you could look at the data of brands changing over the years.
They do: this thread is about one of the most common ways – and there are plenty of stories of people being ordered to train their replacement contractors to do the same job at lower rates – but other popular strategies include cutting benefits, reducing annual raises relative to the cost of inflation, or not hiring adequate numbers of people and pressuring the staff to try to do the extra work anyway (i.e. unpaid overtime).

The main counterbalance is market pressure, which is why high-demand programmers don’t see this as often as other fields where people have less leverage, and, in bluer states, the risk that doing so will trigger government action.

> There are dozens of "X Prizes"

I don't condemn prizes as a category.

The Longitude Prize and DARPA's self-driving car competitions were successful. Here's what differentiates them: the people who wanted to buy the product set the rules of the prize to yield something useful to them. The products of the X Prizes either have terrible product-market fit ("market" to be read broadly to include non-commercial users) or pursue the wrong goal (e.g. manned spaceflight crowding out launch-cost reduction, et cetera).

Important point you touched on there. In the case of businesses you should always use zero balance accounts for checks, EFTs, ACHs, etc. The smaller your business, the more you're at risk of an existential threat if someone takes money from your master account unexpectedly or for the wrong amount.
Equifax's payroll division "TALX" is a bucket of suck just like their credit reporting division [0].

Identity thieves prize the W-2 and payroll data held by companies like TALX because they can use it to file fraudulent tax refund requests with the IRS and the states on behalf of victim consumers.

Fraudsters reset customer PINs by answering simple "knowledge-based authentication" questions.

Naturally many of the answers to these questions are in the data leaked by the credit reporting division.

It’s very hard for me to reconcile. I love what craft brewing has done for the industry. But it has gone to a ridiculous and antithetical place. The culture has more in common with wine than beer at this point. It is no longer an “Everyman” drink. Waiting in line for releases. $10 and $15 pours. It’s a turnoff.

That's a brave position. I think it's not exactly Freudian dream theory. Though the 'just-so stories' characterisation can be fair... Saying that, behavioural biology is without question a scientific endeavour, with obvious connections to both evolution and human psychology - is that well-grounded evo psych or is evo psych poorly-grounded behavioural biology?

One of the ways people get better jobs is when a former boss or coworker moves into a position with the authority to hire. Online communities centered around driving for Lyft/Uber don't provide that. As described, they tend to provide support to help people survive as gigsters not advance their careers. Perhaps they provide some ways to marginally leverage the system to obtain somewhat better wages, which isn't nothing but its not career enhancing.
I didn't actually intend my comment as mockery. I'm very much for finding correspondences between discrete and continuous things. I just didn't see how to set things up so that Stokes turned into associativity.

I think this is in fact the same thing as the "true by definition" found in the second of my links above -- but I hadn't thought hard enough about how that cashes out concretely to see that you can express it as the associativity of a three-way product. Nice.
Yes and no. Once the blockchain forks, the distinction between all those coins is very technical. Coins from one ledger cannot be spent on another ledger.

You're right though, cultural convention decides which blockchain is the "real" Bitcoin. Most people are using BTC at the moment, but Bitmain takes payment exclusively in BCH.

This might seem like a semantic quibble, but I think it's important. There will only ever be 21 million BTC, and only ever 21 million BCH. If Bitmain decided to charge 22 million BCH for their latest ASIC miner, nobody would ever be able to pay that bill regardless of how many forks there are.

For a blockchain fork to have any value whatsoever, people need to want to own it. Bitmain ASIC sales are driving demand for BCH. Every other Bitcoin fork is doing rather poorly.

Forks aren't diluting the value of BTC, because people know that BTC is the real asset. Everything else is like fool's gold.
> Actually the exact opposite is happening.

You're mistaken and given your responses elsewhere I think you're either confused or arguing in bad faith.

The mean tax rate paid by the top 0.1% of earners in 1979 was just over 40%. This fell to about 25% in 2010.[1] Marginal rates followed a similar trend. Meanwhile the US Gini coefficient rose from .415 in 1979 to .476 in 2012.[2] This implies that the top quintile pays a greater share of Federal taxes because they're proportionally richer than the other quintiles. The poor don't pay much Federal tax because you can't get blood from a stone.

Not really. I am one of the people that actually use it. They have some warnings for sure, but you should probably note I also wrote the first comment in this thread.
Look, if we're talking manned space flight, I was arguing against it 3 years ago in favor of robotic exploration. HN said I was wrong.

As for X-Prizes, in general, I think they're a great idea. My blog is http://h4labs.org

I took h4 from the first "X-Prize". H4 was the version of the watch that won the money. It has been explained repeatedly why they're a great idea. Should I rehash it on my blog, because I'm not going to do it here, again?

Btw, it sounds like we might simply be arguing over what's a good "X-Prize"?
Wow, 0day avg lifespan is 6.9 years with a 5.7percent collision rate.
I notice this but with inhibition. I find I do different kinds of coding, more creative and less rigid, when I have less inhibition. Good sleep is good for rigid code, bad sleep is good for creative problem solving and inhibition. I tend to be better on the phone on <6 hours of sleep as well. I think getting a full night's sleep leads to my prefrontax cortex functioning properly, which I find makes me rigid and anxious with all the threads I follow and things I predict. Without a good sleep, that is significantly inhibited, making it easier to go with the flow, on a call or writing code.

I wrote and maintain Dialyxir. I'm familiar with Dialyzer. What it can't do, is tell me whether any given pid can actually accept and process a message of a particular type. You can write a module interface to your actor that does this, which is what most people do. But it is not quite the same as typed channels. And whoever started this thread was complaining about the "issue" in Akka. Messages are inherently dynamic in this style of communication. Its not the only possible style in either language, but its a valid criticism of this particular approach.

That doesn't mean it's an improper fix. Intel's corporate inability to handle potential fallout does not change that the right/proper fix is to enable security by default.

The only improper thing is that we need this fix at all, but that bridge has been crossed, burned, and dropped into the Mariana Trench, so no going back now.
> "Arbitrary code execution" means very little to most users, I'd assume. Fixing Messages is something they can immediately understand.

It doesn't say "fixing messages". It doesn't hint at a high impact CVE. The only mention of any form of "security" is the link to the KB article, which I only caught after I noticed this HN post.

As a software engineer at a software+network security company and in investor in Apple, I'm not impressed. Bottom line: there was no urgency baked into the update description.
It's not a fantasy. Uncollected judgements can be enforced through direct property seizure if you follow your State's laws. Typically you call law enforcement first and pay them a fee for an escort to seize the property. For businesses, you typically schedule the law enforcement escort for the end of the day so you can seize the cash in the cash register. If I remember correctly, it costs around $75 to have our local county sheriff escort you for property seizure for a judgement.

Our privacy policy is extremely strict, and is the basis for our company. If we are to be found violating it at all, we would be ruined, and would probably be criminally liable.

I think the sheriff would rather not be collecting the hardware (unless he/she hastes the bank too) and would be quite happy if the person settled for a check at the last minute. Less work.

When I went to small claims the first thing the judge did was make everybody talk to their opponent in the hope that they would just find a settlement and save the judge's time.

That's a hell of a line to use when breaking up with someone
China's system has one major leg up over Japan's, which is that it's still pretty cost effective and has become faster and potentially more thorough in the years to come (China is a much bigger country, so building out a thorough system is commensurately harder, but the East Coast and some major cities inland are already built out). That said if you're a tourist in Japan you can just get a JR pass and do it unlimited for a low cost—that doesn't apply to locals though, where Shinkansen is often more expensive than flying.

I was living in China for the last 6 months, you can just show up to the station without plans usually and book a high speed train ride 5 minutes before you go, where you'll be whisked from Xi'an to Beijing, a 13+ hour, 1,000km drive (about the distance from Boston to Cleveland), in 4.5 hours, with huge, comfortable seats, panoramic views of the countryside flying by at incredible speeds, and almost nothing will change your expected arrival (traffic? forget it, delays? pretty rare). You get clean restrooms and food and almost no time wasted at security, no worries about checked baggage limits and fees, and the ability to rebook for 10-20 minutes from now if you miss your train, all of this for less than $80?

Imagine if you could on an afternoon you decide that you want to go to Miami from Charlotte, and you can just casually get up and be there by dinnertime without going broke? It's terrific.

Or if you're more into regional transit, you can go from Suzhou to Shanghai, a 2 hour drive, within 30 minutes for like $5 without planning, similar routes which expand access to Shanghai within an hour's reach of over 120 million people.

It allows you to live in a small, isolated city in the countryside, yet be served by the huge scale airports and business of a megacity, with only a small fee and short time on a comfortable train where you can work, read, meditate, rest, or whatever it is you want to do. It expands your possibilities and brings equality of access in ways you wouldn't realize until you are a part of it.

In comparison with buses, for longer distance it definitely makes sense. For travel within cities, higher reliability (eschewing traffic and potential for accidents), very high capacity, comfort (no abrupt stopping and going, for modern systems at least; also less likely to experience motion sickness, which makes reading, etc easier), speed (think express trains in NYC or being able to cut through very busy places), and from some people's perspectives, increased property values, are all good reasons for it. But it is true, you get 80% of the way there with buses probably.

Our entire search results page is anonymous at page load, and our ads are non-tracking in the sense that they are just based on that one search page request and have nothing to do with any other personal information (as we don't have any). It's unfortunate that adblockers are blocking our ads, but I understand that our more privacy-aware ads are extremely rare.

Disclaimer: I am not an accountant and I am definitely not your accountant.

You are correct to say that you can contribute 25% of compensation. However, your wages are different than your profits, even as a self-employed person.

Let's say you are self-employed and you make $1 of profits and pay yourself $0.80 of wages. You can contribute the other $0.20 you have to your SEP-IRA, since it's 25% of your wages (or 20% of your profits).

Because of this, you need $275K of profits to generate $220K of income and a corresponding $55K SEP-IRA contribution.

For more, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SEP-IRA#Reduced_rate
> CNBC talked to three former employees who lost between $40,000 and over $100,000 each because they exercised their options in previous years and had to pay tax based on their heightened value at the time.

Interestingly, the recently passed tax reform bill seems to make this type of loss less likely - though it would seem to be too late for these employees.

Unfortunately, this is currently the way Chrome works. We're looking for a way around it, but it looks like they changed this behavior sometime last year. In other browsers you can easily use another search engine without disabling the entire thing.
Perhaps the explanation of my comparison was clumsy.

Elon Musk's goal with Tesla was to disrupt the entrenched auto and oil industries, for the betterment of mankind, by spurring a transition to electric vehicles. [This is not an argument for his altruism one way or the other, merely a statement of the company's goals.]

Bitcoin's goal was to disrupt the entrenched banking industry, for the betterment of mankind.

The two goals are thus quite similar, in kind.

My argument is that people saying "Bitcoin is dead because fees are too high" is like saying "Tesla is dead because their cars are expensive."

Tesla has sold 200k cars at $70k+ a pop. That's an indicator of success, to me. In the same way that people paying $0.02/byte to be part of the Bitcoin blockchain is an indicator of success; not an indicator of failure.

The comparison itself is not really important. I chose it merely because Tesla tends to be a darling among VCs and ... well this is Hacker News.

Some google analytics code is embedded into buttons that are essential for the Web site to operate, so if you block them then the website will cease functioning properly. To get around that, we still block it, but insert some inert code in its place that will make the button function again properly.

But a good one at that.

This makes me wonder ... um ... this might be TMI, but I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced a sudden "clearing" of the sense of smell when washing the perineum. Do we have olfactory cells down there that kind of cancel out our own scent?
