For me/us, it's a combination of infrastructure-as-code and metrics reporting/logs. Most of our boxes are swapped out on a weekly or more frequent basis, so the only accurate picture of what's running right this moment is the graphs built by the metrics collection tools. The only accurate picture of what's running on those boxes is the code which built the infrastructure.

There are a couple of exceptions, but those are actively being brought under the above model (mostly because they are effectively invisible, and the existing documentation for them is... incomplete).

Any documentation outside of that is stale in a few hours, and obsolete in a week.
If I'm an electrician on call-out to someone's home and, totally by accident, I discover someone tied up in their basement, should I report it to the police?

If I'm repairing someone's computer at their request and, totally by accident, I discover illegal material on it, should I report it to the police?

It seems pretty straightforward to me that you can, and in fact you really ought to. Maybe you disagree with what counts as "illegal" (like if didn't report finding pot in someone's home in a country where it's illegal) but that's a different discussion from whether this is generally reasonable behaviour.

A lot of people in SV at companies both big and small think they're saving the world. What percentage really are? Do you pour this kind of scorn on the people at Juicero/Bodega or "Uber for XYX" startups too?

ETA: I see from your comments that you occasionally express mild negative sentiment toward others, but you seem to have an especially intense and constant antipathy toward Google. Let me suggest that it's disproportionate. For example, all of the Hadoop-distro vendors spew the same "saving the world" rhetoric even though they're just as much in bed with the military/intelligence community and other unsavory types.
Is that really a thing now? Sounds like it would have the opposite of the intended effect on most people. How awkward.

Again, you are assuming that everything has enough power to run a networking stack, or even that there is Turing-equivalent hardware to run anything at all. (Yes, yes, I know this is HN, where any device is fit for a computer; most of the world isn't.)
My water heater from late 1990s has a cleverly wired set of transistors - not even chips, the logic is literally wired into the product: cheap yet resilient. Connecting that to the internet would need adding some sort of computing device, adding several orders of magnitude in complexity (you can ping it and now it's also brittle, yay).

(I assume that you mean "to the local network, which is then connected via more conventional means, oh, and did I mention you need yet another computer to route data to the remote end?" - from what I've seen, attempts at WAN-over-power have largely been abandoned, even industrial IoT went for LoRa and friends. And from what I've experienced, LAN-over-power is a last-resort desperate hack: better than nothing at all, but barely better than two cans on a string w/r/t packet loss.)

Back when I was put in charge of IT Lifecycle management for my Army unit (not by choice - "Hey, you've got a CS degree, so anything tech related goes to you"), I kept it all in an Access Database, and ran off a report occasionally to update my smartbook (3-ring binder full of stuff that my boss would frequently ask about during meetings). Granted this was back in the early 00's.

Here's a relevant passage from sleep scientist Matthew Walker's book 'Why we sleep' (which I highly recommend):

"Although every human being displays an unyielding twenty-four-hour pattern, the respective peak and trough points are strikingly different from one individual to the next. For some people, their peak of wakefulness arrives early in the day, and their sleepiness trough arrives early at night. These are “morning types,” and make up about 40 percent of the populace. They prefer to wake at or around dawn, are happy to do so, and function optimally at this time of day. Others are “evening types,”and account for approximately 30 percent of the population. They naturally prefer going to bed late and subsequently wake up late the following morning, or even in the afternoon. The remaining 30 percent of people lie somewhere in between morning and evening types, with a slight leaning toward eveningness, like myself. You may colloquially know these two types of people as “morning larks”and “night owls,”respectively. Unlike morning larks, night owls are frequently incapable of falling asleep early at night, no matter how hard they try. It is only in the early-morning hours that owls can drift off. Having not fallen asleep until late, owls of course strongly dislike waking up early. They are unable to function well at this time, one cause of which is that, despite being “awake,”their brain remains in a more sleep-like state throughout the early morning. This is especially true of a region called the prefrontal cortex, which sits above the eyes, and can be thought of as the head office of the brain. The prefrontal cortex controls high-level thought and logical reasoning, and helps keep our emotions in check. When a night owl is forced to wake up too early, their prefrontal cortex remains in a disabled, “offline”state. Like a cold engine after an early-morning start, it takes a long time before it warms up to operating temperature, and before that will not function efficiently. An adult’s owlness or larkness, also known as their chronotype, is strongly determined by genetics."

I think people are missing the issue here. Of course everyone agrees with a see something say something policy. The issue is that they were getting paid to report crime.

Given that these people are not trained law enforcement, are typically low paid, and there is no chain of custody of the equipment whatsoever there is an incentive and real opportunity here to make crime in order to cash in.

> They probably will partner up with insurance company’s and will provide discounts if you take this test as part of your physical. And increase it if you don’t or start at a higher price for all products that the client doesn’t take the test. Yeah it’s gonna come to that

Even if they could do that [0], once you (and presumably they) get the results they can't discriminate based on them due to the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008, so there is very little incentive for them to pressure you to take the test.

[0] They can't, AFAICT, also because of the GNA, though employer-sponsored insurance might be able to back door something similar through a voluntary employer-based wellness program nominally separate from insurance.

> The future is Google/Facebook style of genetics regardless of what you think its going to be like.

I would rather die at 35 of a genetic disease than live my entire life in the dystopia you describe. If we need a Butlerian Jihad, so be it. The fact that so many in this thread take the opposite attitude is terrifying to me. As far as I'm concerned, genetic technology represents an existential threat.

Yes, it would be fantastic if we could take the good without the evil, but it doesn't look like we're capable of doing so. Nevertheless the attitude of many is that technology (and not just genetic tech) will march on, and damn the consequences.

It's not that you should or not. Is that you don't know if it's illegal or not.

It's like you see someone tied up, thinks it's illegal but it's maybe not. Maybe they play a game and it's on purpose.

Same apply with the content, you don't know if it's illegal or not. You are not judge, stick to your job.

One of my in-laws more or less pioneered the entire clothing manufacturing industry in Southeast Asia. Watching him and his wife tear apart garments by looking at the stitches and feeling the fabric is incredibly entertaining. It's on par with the way I tear apart other people's code on GPUs. 10,000+ hours doing anything gives one some serious skill.

I've even used their expertise as evidence that AI and machine learning could do the same if we only knew how to train it. They've written several books on the subject and they are recognized authorities in Asia.
The article does not clarify the nature of the payment.

It's not clear whether or not he knew he would get paid when he reported it.

It's not necessarily that the FBI has an arrangement with technicians to snoop around.
Dear FBI, I'm happy to join the effort in my spare time. You probably have my Whatsapp and bank account already, so let's just make it happen.
There are some good suggestions in this piece. Absorbing a diversity of perspectives is often valuable.

The thing is, most of us view ourselves at least partly as 'who we aspire to be'-- we know we aren't actually that person technically right now, but we believe or hope that we could be. As we mature, I think more often than not we try to be more realistic about it.

It would be difficult or impossible for many of us to make progress in our goals if we didn't regularly see ourselves as more than we currently are. It's important to be honest, but it's just as important to have some optimism.
I think there's another bug in the generateSlice function if the intention is to create a slice with n random numbers.

func generateSlice(n int) []int {
s := make([]int, n)
for i := 0; i < n; i++ {
s = append(s, rand.Intn(1e9))
}
return s
}

As it is now, the function creates a slice with n zeros followed by n random numbers. I suppose you meant to say make([]int, 0, n). You could just as well assign directly to each slice element instead of using append, which would be more efficient.

I made the exact same mistake quite a few times myself.
It's about incentive. If you pay people underhand money for "finding" illegal imagery -- you will get more illegal imagery. It also gives massive amounts of power to a non officer. These charges are almost impossible to defend. With this type of charge hardcore prison... -- its probably better to commit suicide (guilty or not).

I don't think it is as simple as just looking inside and boom, there it is. Discovering yourself I think is a long process. I think it begins when you learn to quit lying to yourself about who you are.

I hate to go all "woo woo", but mindfulness was the first step for me. Getting out of the habit of blocking thoughts and clearing my mind has allowed me discover a lot about who I want to be.
One of the issues with practical psychology vs STEM is that STEM has a formal language which allows cumulative intergenerational learning.

You can literally look at the words and math used by people who have been dead a long time, follow their arguments, and learn from their insights in a semi-standardised course of study.

Psychology has stories and studies, but there's no formal process of learning from the mistakes of previous humans.

So people tend to make similar mistakes in every generation - politically, socially, and personally.
If you discover child porn in the course of repairing someone’s computer, you should report it. The problem is getting paid to actively search for it. That sets up some perverse incentives. While it’s unlikely that an enterprising Geek Squader would want to run afoul of the FBI, it’s a very bad idea to create a profit motive for someone to plant this sort of evidence.

I wonder about Best Buy’s position in this? They aren’t exactly alienating the non-pedophile public with this activity and aren’t going to lose business over it. That said, deputizing your employees is sort of odd.
I had just heard about these guys too, and actually have been looking for stores like this. I'd like to switch out all my clothes that wear out fast with responsibly sourced, quality clothing. Hopefully this one will deliver.
Exactly. A good DM thinks up challenges that make players work together to succeed. If plot material is available, the DM doesn't necessarily have to be able to think that up, but it was by far the funnest part of being a DM for me.

I once ran a group adventure where the players' characters were hired by a noble to provide escort for his daughter to a distant kingdom. Along the way, in every town the players stayed, mysterious murders started taking place. Over the trip, authorities started to suspect the adventurers due to circumstances. This really rankled the players and when they discovered the noble daughter in their charge was an evil assassin having fun, they had a massive range of emotions to their reaction. Not only did they have to prove their innocence, they had to find evidence to do so. Some of the players were really torn - what would the noble father do to them if they turned the daughter over? What would happen to them if they didn't?

One interesting effect to running a good adventure in the prison was that a number of non-playing inmates wanted to hear about the latest gaming events, much like following a soap opera.
I think the headline is kinda missing the point here; the issue is not the flagging of illegal images once found, the issue is snooping around people's computers that were left for repairs deliberately looking for illegal images and the violation of trust there.

My computer doesn't have anything illegal on it, that doesn't mean I want a Geek Squad employee looking around at what is there. And if they know there's a payday from the FBI if they find something, you bet they are going to look around. Then what happens when they find something not illegal but that they like; pictures of my wife or friends and family at the beach or something.

This is really not acceptable on multiple levels.

Isn't flagging pictures making a suggestion so that a real law enforcement officer can check a reduced number of pictures instead of all pictures in existence? Starting from the real officer making a decision the process is normal law enforcement isn't it?

Did your family setup etc also change around this time?

I have an unsubstantiated belief that age / family etc affects this. As you add up more commitments, you start having to work with / for others meaning a lot of overlap time is required. This also means morning is the only time you can get to do your own stuff and eventually the habit sets in.

Anecdotally you can see this in kids who've committed to sports etc. Early. They tend to become morning folk just out of habit even if they party it up for certain years.
Nothing like a bit of hyperbole in the morning.

This DHF is meticulously updated whenever something is changed. If someone reports an issue this is information you can use to scope your initial reproduction.
