Just to clarify: that was a tongue in cheek comment. The cycle of language introduction, acceptance, toolchain maturity, obsolescence quickened up a LOT in the last 15-20 years. Many earlier languages, from ALGOL to Fortran would have given you a comfortably large set of jobs to choose from for over 20 years.
Attempting to dictate other people's language usage, especially over such innocuous terms, is extremely condescending moralizing. You ought to consider being more respectful yourself.
Maybe it seems I'm being flippant, but I gave it quite a lot of thought. It's one of a recurrent themes of "rationalist" sci-fi, a genre I like very much.

> You'd have the hardware to run your person on, but you'd have no information on the full informational state stored by which circuits are firing, which are building up to fire, and how fast each one is building up.

You just include that in the brainscan.

> It would be "You" to itself.

Yes. And I think this is enough. Current me would be a stranger to me 20 years ago.

> How do you measure a successful reboot? What is your error tolerance?

There was a sci-fi story where people had backup chips in their brains that measured all activity and learned over years to simulate that activity. If the simulated and real activity agreed to 99.999% over a long period of time the biological brains were euthanized and the chip took over the body.

IMHO it's quite good standard for error tolerance. If all measurable effects are the same for a long period of time (let's say a year).

I'm not persuaded Pauli Exclusion Principle is making this impossible, it depends on how sensitive our brains are to quantum effects, and I don't think we have data one way or another (do correct me if I'm wrong).

It might be impossibly high standard, but even then - if my future decisions depend on quantum fluctuations that will be simulated differently on a different hardware - my current identity isn't built on these future decisions YET. If we're really throwing dice making some decisions - I don't consider these dice or these results to be part of my identity now. If I reverted time and got a different decision the second time - I'd still think of that person as me, just in a different mood.

As for disruption of society, economy, etc - sure, these are big concerns. But we're talking philosophy here, not sociology.

76 years isn't a bad run, and it's amazing for someone with ALS (which also took my uncle a couple years ago). And he did much more with that time than most of us would even be able to countenance. He was a modern-day Einstein, in the sense that his tremendous contributions to science have made him the face of science itself in the public eye.

It's just like Hawking to check out on Pi Day.

That investing carries large amounts of risk isn't new or unknown to most. If you cash out your 401K and put it in AAPL, even a modest decline could eliminate your retirement.

That's just not true.

Most doctors don't prescribe a drug because of some incentive.

I don't even like most doctors. Never bought the whole "I'm here to help people thing." You were good at memorizing, liked the perks of being a doctor, like the upgrade in wives/girlfriends because your just so darn sexy in blue scrubs(failing at humor. I had this acquaintance in college whom would "forget" to change his blue uniform after his shift, and we just happened to be going to the local watering hole. My last conversation with the dude was, "Does it even work? You have some stain on your ploy?", money(that is changing), blah, blah, etc.

That said, most don't prescribe drugs because they get some perk.

There are a few very bad apples though. These two guys, and a horrid little pharmaceutical company come to mind though, and make them (all doctors) look questionable.

http://fortune.com/2018/03/10/jerrold-rosenberg-opioid-kickb...

In all honestly, the ability to charge whatever you want for a drug is a bigger problem. Plus--I have never figured out why a doctor needs a four year degree before essentially applying to Automotive School. Yes--it's a fancy Auto School, and you need to know a years worth of college physics, two years of chemistry, and a handful of other required prerequisites. My point is we need more people out there whom can prescribe. Or, make most drugs available over the counter?

I despise pharmaceutical commercials. The're almost as bad as the scammy 501C3's that show us abused animals?

But this is America. The land where money buys political influence. A land where the rich pretty much tell the poor what to do.
I recently realized that maybe the biggest scam of the American health care is that we pay twice for healthcare. when young and healthy we sponser the profit of the health insurance industry and sponsor the older people higher expenses through taxes (Medicare)

I'm really pretty OK with it. The thing only has 1GB of RAM, so there's not a whole lot of value in having a >4GB address space. Might as well default to having the perf boost and reduction in memory consumption that comes with pointers that are half as big.

People who actually have a use for 64bit on their pis will generally know what to do, and I'm guessing most of of them won't have a whole lot of use for the streamlined UX that is Raspbian's raison d'etre, anyway.

I think in general investors are aware that Uber will need self driving cars to stay relevant.

Transportation is going to become a monthly flat rate like a cable bill for local travel via autonomous vehicles and the winners will be the companies that own the fleets and get to charge the tolls.

Owning your own car will be a luxury item.

Owning a gasoline powered car will be an extremely niche luxury item.

Obviously this won’t happen tomorrow but it’s not hard to see the parallels to the horse and buggy industry in this transition.

New players will emerge to be the big names in this new industry and Uber investors hope it will be one of the winners.
Sure, I'll concede all of those points! But I think they fundamentally change the question, because now you're presenting a different set of problems to solve.

Understanding one level of abstraction doesn't mean that you understand the levels above or below it. It's perfectly possible (likely, even!) that a team will have someone who can build a good Rails app and someone else who can make sure the HTTP code and infrastructure is secure, yet those people won't have many skills that overlap.

Yes, there are definitely good programmers and bad programmers. IMO, that has to do with how effectively you can solve problems you care about, not (as the comment to which I was replying suggests) the level of abstraction you're comfortable with.
It might be one of those scenarios based on a pattern of behavior that Google is in a position to identify and an individual user is not because the patterns include temporal, spatial, network, etc. elements that emerge at the scale of many users and across multiple web properties.

I'd put it this way, if Google wants your phone number it can just Google it...or rather, Google already has your phone number and a whole lot more because its ordinary data and information leaks everywhere across the web. Trivially, all it takes is for anyone who has ever had your phone number to have shared their address book online and odds are Google has your name and number.

I'm not saying this is good (or bad). Just that it is. In the moment by moment, a person can kind of avoid some tracking because the speed, volume, and economics at which advertising is auctioned limits the depth of historical search on a moment by moment basis. But when it comes to a specific ordinary fact, Google has it already.

The fraud detection could in theory be triggered by something as obscure as the angle of your phone and its acceleration parameters being unusual.
Dude, there's so much you can learn from books before 2000. If for no other reason than that it's an amazing way to get out of your filter bubble.
This is exactly why I've come to distrust the left. When I was younger, and, as Churchill would say, "had a heart", progressive causes appealed to me - who could oppose gay rights or women's rights or worker's rights? But the fact that liberals are so quick to hyperbole and so quick to dismiss any criticism - no matter how legitimate or reasonable - as prejudice, makes me suspect that deep down, they're hiding something and that they have a (not very well) hidden agenda.
As less and less content is served over HTTP, it becomes more and more realistic for an attacker to simply inject their garbage into every unencrypted connection that has a browser user agent in it.

Consider the websites you view every day.. most of them are probably HTTPS by now.

It's the wild west, basically. Regardless of how likely it is that someone is waiting for you to hit a HTTP site right now so they can screw with it, why even take that risk when the alternative is so easy?
Did you have 2FA on this account already?

If not, they're basically just forcing you into 2FA, and the easiest way to get most people on 2FA is via text message. They're not going to tell everyone to go download Google Authenticator. I don't blame them for wanting everyone on 2FA, especially for an email provider. There are a million ways your password could be stolen, and they'd rather that their system was secure from the start rather than dealing with the fallout of an account takeover. You should be able to go into your account settings and remove the phone number after you enable another 2FA method.

If you are on 2FA already, that is strange.
I'd say 3 or 4 times a week when I had classes. Then down to 0 times a week during co-op (working for an employer for 4 months).

Basically I selected to have it any time I had a major project to do or studying to do. It was absolutely glorious because I could go to classes, struggle through those a bit, get home, be social and have friends, then at about 9pm have some concerta and work on a project until 5am.

And maybe some of this sounds unhealthy but gosh did it ever work. I was a D student in high school and I managed to actually get into college, get two degrees, some significant awards, and a dream job after graduation. Without the opportunity to take Concerta when I wanted to, I all but guarantee I never would have gone to college.
There are plenty of reasons to worry if you're an investor in Uber but (IMHO) this isn't one of them.

NYC is big. Really big (like space). It can support a number of wannabes. But you need a certain number of drivers to be able to serve users and the value of Uber is in the areas where you can't support half a dozen wannabes.

For example, I was in Australia recently and discovered that not even Lyft works there (in Perth anyway). This is in a city approaching 2M population and is very much a developed nation (well, except for the Internet).

Think about that: that's a ton of people who are being trained to use Uber. When they travel do you think they're going to pick up whatever the local ride-hailing wannabe app is for some specific city? No.

Uber has a whole bunch of problems but it's clearly a valuable brand at this point.
> The thing is, this is the sort of thing people _actually say_ about p/m fit

Just because lot's of people say it, doesn't make it any less wrong or misguided. In my mind, it's kind of like the "great man theory" from the 19th century in that is fails to go deeper into the issue and take a critical analysis of what's really happening [0].

There are many amazing techniques that are 10x more rigorous than this statement, which we've only scratched the surface of for testing Product/Market Fit.

> There's no reason people can't walk here, they just don't.

You really think there is no reason? I mean you chose Japan as your example - I walked everywhere every single day I spent in Japan as well. Because the cities (heck, entire country) are set up with human pedestrians in mind as first class citizens, and are laid out in a manner which makes everywhere from small villages to Tokyo very walkable. For any trip under a mile or two, walking was always clearly the best option.

The US? It's effectively a giant suburb except for an exceedingly tiny number of dense urban cores built prior to to the invention of the automobile. Walking in those areas is dangerous (many times done on purpose by city planners to discourage pedestrian "riff raffs"), typically pointless (e.g. you have to walk to walk as it's square miles of nothing but single family homes), and honestly utterly boring and socially disconnecting. Walking 4 blocks in my suburban neighborhood in Minneapolis is a soul crushing tour of how disconnected the community is (you likely won't even talk to a single person) - walking 4 blocks in my dense Chicago neighborhood is interesting and helps build community as the density and walking/transit focus forces the community to interact on a daily basis.

I am quite convinced the suburbification of the US after WWII is the primary cause for the breakdown in social cohesion we're starting to see.
This comment doesn't really make sense. There are people that never fly on airplanes but still vote for Federal officials who manage the FAA. There are people in NYC who vote for Federal officials that administer cattle grazing. So what?

If anything the problem with regional transit systems in the US is that they are far too provincial and federated, leading to all sorts of overlapping and wasteful things. For example the fact that the Port Authority and the MTA don't get along means I can't take a fucking train to any airport in the most important and densest city in the country.

Or stuff like how they didn't bother to connect the 4/5/6 line to the PATH system during WTC reconstruction despite the fact that they are compatible, and they apparently had over three billion dollars to light on fire.

Or stuff like how the PATH train runs to Newark and inexplicably stops a mile or two short of the airport despite the fact that NJ Transit/Amtrak right of way runs right there down the exact same line.

The idea that separating LIRR from Metro North from the Subway and creating yet another set of competing bureaucracies is going to somehow help things is delusional, and a fundamental misunderstanding of how NYC area politics works.
I sort of agree, but I also disagree. I think 90% of us are capable of doing "actual software development."

However the market does't care for that. The market prefers short term gains over long term gains. Perhaps we can blame wallstreet? Due to the demand for short term gains, the ask from most developers is "how fast can you build this" not "how can you build this to be most efficient and cheapest in the long run and lifetime of the product" To move quick, developers must then employ abstractions layered upon abstractions.

The short term winners get lots of money for demonstrating wins quickly. The losers conform to keep up.

Well, there's the "suspended animation" possibility thing too.

eg "Wake me up when we get there, or if anything interesting/important comes up on the way."
I don't care that much about performance. Support and all stuff I get to play with on RPi is more important. Why would I need more ram or faster cpu to read temperature sensor and send show it on a website?

Then you get people who do projects that would fit on 8 bit processor, like reading sensor and then switching relay depending on sensor value. That is gross overkill.

If you have more ambitious projects like streaming video, which I have seen somewhere in thread, or mining cryptos, maybe RPi is not best choice.
Broadcom ends bid for Qualcomm
HN has an international audience, and cultural norms are different in different regions.

Very roughly in English workplaces you should avoid calling any of the women "chick" because you'll cause grave offence.

There are very narrow exceptions to this. In places like Stoke on Trent you might find people calling each other "my duck" (but this isn't just women; men call each other "me duck" too.) But even there you need to know the person and know it's ok.

In this particular example: I'm uncomfortable with the use of "chick" and it makes me think less of the writer, even after the explanation that it was an alternate to "dude". People can use whatever language they like, but they should be aware of the effect of the language they chose on other people so they make an informed choice.
There could be a separate license agreement between the parties.
What an awful disclosure.

> <...>an elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when a ASP.NET Core web application fails to validate web requests correctly.

Fails to mention what "validating a request correctly" means. Recommends to limit allowed Host header values as a mitigation, but does not say what values are safe to accept. Example.com? localhost? 127.0.0.1? covfefe?
Very interesting. I never thought of that before. I certainly have no traits I'd consider on the autism spectrum. I just couldn't focus. Sit me quietly in 5th grade with a book and I'd read a page and have absorbed none of it because my brain wandered. I'd ask to go to the washroom just to get out of my desk and take the exciting trip to the washroom. Teachers eventually started asking if I had problems because I'd ask to go to the washroom 7 or 8 times a day.
Or as I do, use reading mode in Firefox.
Talking from personal experience here, with my wife now being able to create websites on her own after 6-8 months of learning (some weeks part time, some weeks full time, and some weeks no time :) ).

Any programmer will have to eventually learn HTML & CSS anyway, so that's a good place to start.

My wife started with https://www.codecademy.com/, which she found incredibly helpful, some youtube videos like others creating websites, and practical one on one sessions with me on doing actual projects.
The best learning time was when she created a website by herself, for example in 1 week, and then we did it again together (mostly me) in 1 day.

Be prepared to let her do her own way, not force her into best practices, and especially don't nag her about not learning/doing anything, that will most likely turn her away from programming when it's hard.

Also be prepared to try and explain things which we take for granted after years of familiarity.

Congrats to both of you for this decision, I'm sure she'll do great!
'Multiple gun shot suicide'

Indeed.
It's not elitist. It's exactly what it is. Plumbers make great money, especially ones who plumb oil pipelines underwater and such. So SAP might be a big money cow, and plumbing, but what OP was saying is that such things are not employing the "best principles" of computer science, to write well thought and efficient programs.
ReST is really big in the Python ecosystem, thanks to Sphinx (docs generator), and the read-the-docs website.

The main advantage for ReST is that it is well defined and consistent. It's a bit heavier than .md, but I think it will pay off for large projects.

Here are some articles about it:
https://eli.thegreenplace.net/2017/restructuredtext-vs-markd...
http://ericholscher.com/blog/2016/mar/15/dont-use-markdown-f...

I've written docs for personal projects in markdown, but now that I work on larger collaborative projects I feel like ReST is the way to go.

PS: If you're using Sphinx, you can actually support both .md and .rst in the same project, and slowly transition from one to the other, see https://github.com/ivanistheone/ricecooker/blob/docs/improve...

If an action is brought against the researchers, I predict it will be a (likely unsuccessful) insider trading case, not a market manipulation case. I don’t see any market manipulation here[1], considering activist investors have set a precedent for make hyperbolic statements which are mostly unchallenged, so long as there is a nontrivial kernel of truth.

Material, nonpublic information is of course not illegal to trade on, on its own. It’s not generally illegal to trade on unpublished vulnerabilities. But it’s routine to be forcibly entered into a confidentiality agreement as part of the process of reporting a vulnerability. For example, reporting a vulnerability through Bugcrowd or Hackerone would immediately make it illegal for you to trade on the knowledge of the vulnerability.

I assume the researchers were savvy enough to report the vulnerability in such a way that did not enter them into a confidentiality agreement. That said, AMD may lean on the widespread commonalities of how many responsible disclosure processes do work with respect to confidentiality in order to try and establish a precedent. They’ll make arguments about reasonable disclosure windows before publication, etc. This is, to my eyes, the best case for someone trying to bring a case forward. If the researchers implicitly agreed to a confidentiality agreement (for example, if the page with security contact information has “browsewrap” terms and conditions, or if buying an AMD product at all has such terms), it will be messy, but they’ll be probably fine, I think.

However, if they actually reported the vulnerability through a medium that explicitly forces confidentiality, I think they’re actually screwed.

You could set up a CI server that watches commits, and then commit to a branch, have it deploy automatically.
For the author, I’d highly recommend adding some screenshots to the readme. It’s not terribly compelling to say it’s worth downloading and providing sensitive information to something before even knowing what it looks like.
It would be even easier and less vague to just pop out the SD card, open up /etc/network/interfaces, and edit that to add your network. Pop it back in and go. This is what I've done when setting up a new raspberry pi image without having any peripherals attached to it. I ssh in, configure the system to my liking, then make an image of the SD card for future use. I could even turn this work into a script that downloads new raspbian images, edits them for my purposes, then packs them up to be used later.
It's rather disappointing how the industry hasn't made any progress on CRUD application development productivity in the past 20+ years. Microsoft Visual Basic 4.0 allowed low-skilled developers to build working client/server CRUD applications far faster than any modern web development framework. Of course it's easier to distribute web applications than thick client Windows applications, but other than that we haven't gained anything.
