The other comment cited 30 seconds as an upper limit where it becomes clear that something bad is likely going on. The dynamic language tidbit is a red herring, since the compilation is from one language into a dynamic language, which does have some valid downsides but is widely accepted (including by yourself, if you’ve accepted Browserify).

Moreover, the full build times are, at least in my experience with webpack starter packs for side projects and much larger webpack builds at work, only a cost you pay when deploying or setting up a dev environment for the first time. My local dev environments recompile only the parts of the codebase that they need to, and that usually happens quickly enough that it’s ready by the time I go to my browser and refresh.

Reading through why CAFC suddenly decided a differing implementation wasn't transformative, ignoring several juries and judges, makes me think that CAFC would rule that clang's pragmas that are compatible with GCC must also be a copyright violation.

The court's definition makes no sense.

Ask HN: How Does Facebook Data Influence Election
I told this to many people after first day trump became president....

I think many journalists still didnt get. Let me share my idea of what happened.

I think plan was very simple social marketing and deep learning executed by 5-10 smart engineers from peter’s inner circle.

1) created many fake wordpress news sites , fill it with fake articles.

2) then target specific groups of people using facebook custom audience using collected data’s user ids to get 100k+ likes (both democrats and republican) to these pages.

3) the sites and pages became legit with 100k likes.

4) Facebook custom audience and ads :
then used AI and deep learning to create catchy shareable super targeted fake news articles to make democrats lose votes in very specific zip codes based on gerrymandering voting lines and then boost them with paid custom audience.

Animal drunkenness is a well documented phenomena. Many species of monkeys and apes will "recreationally drink," given the opportunity. Interestingly enough, the rate of "alcoholism" among many simians is inline with that of humans.

That custom solutions do not inherently require a server - "either it's Excel or it doesn't run on the workstation" is something that's actually easier to disprove today, with containers and whatnot. Custom solutions can be fully local, i.e. no network access required.

Yes, but if you could get it for free that would be even better. It's a fantastic business model to charge premium for something that cost almost nothing.
There is no downgrade. Mastodon will in it's default configuration not allow non-HTTPS connections. The protocol doesn't require it, so Mastodon technically doesn't. With a few code changes you can do that.

So yes, Mastodon did know better but it's not an inherent property of ActivityPub to use HTTPS.

> Self-driving cars have to be at least as safe as human-driven ones for them to ever become accepted and thus widespread.

Do they? There are other technologies that started out less safe but were accepted and became safer after acceptance, further boosting their popularity. Planes and cars would be examples and mills in the industrial revolution, but there are undoubtably others.
Oracle Wins Court Ruling Against Google in Multibillion-Dollar Copyright Case
Just like with any other investment - unless you know the subject you plan to invest in, simply don't. It's the same for stock exchanges, properties, and so on.

Having said that, there appear sites like IcoDrops (for ICO), and Trivial.co (for post-ICO) that help people make informed decisions.
Thanks! Really interesting blog post and cool idea for surfacing small high-quality blogs.

I'd been planning to add filtering on categories from the start, but it was meant to be a weekend project so my motivation had started to drop after that, so I just wanted to put it out there. Will add extra filters in the next few days!

The situation you describe is not so different from that at regional affiliated airlines.
I'm pretty sure it's just ash from a campfire or something. It's often used agains some parasites in the garden.
It's likely it's using the ash or charcoal to self-treat a stomach problem, animals are known to ingest non food substances to clear problems, charcoal, chalk, dogs eat grass when suffering from gastric problems.
Actually there's some merit behind the suggestion, based on recent work with ground-penetrating radar tech: http://news.mit.edu/2017/lincoln-laboratory-enters-licensing...

What absolutely cannot work safely is any sort of system that relies on lane markings. Anyone who's driven around the Seattle area can tell you that much. State DOTs simply DGAF about compliance with road-marking practices, especially with respect to visibility in bad weather.

And then there's the question of snow. Additional fail-safe mechanisms of one type or another are definitely going to be necessary.

Footage of an Asian elephant “smoking” in a forest in southern India has baffled wildlife experts, who say the behaviour has never before been observed.

Has anyone actually confirmed this bug? The author seems to be an expert in low-level DMA security, but it would be nice to see independent confirmation. Reading through the comments so far, it doesn't seem so. The closest anyone comes is this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16693599

I was hoping to see someone who said:

(1) I tested a Windows 7 X64 machine without the Meltdown patch (pre-December 2017) and couldn't read arbitrary memory.

(2) Next I tested with Microsoft's Meltdown patch KBnnnnnnn (Jan or Feb 2018) and could read arbitrary memory. The system is insecure.

(3) I then tested with Microsoft patch KBnnnnnnn (March 2018) and can no longer read arbitrary memory. They fixed it.

Second Amendment Repeal Would Hurt Constitution
You're the second person to suggest this great idea. I got a note first when I heard it. I'm going to apply now. I have to :)
Sure, if you have a huge company and a revolving door, the solution is a bunch of processes and idiot-proof safety nets, and no one person is to blame for most bugs. If you’re in a small company, the solution is to teach the devs by showing them what mistakes they made. I don’t think that’s a bad thing; if you write code, that code is your responsibility, and you shouldn’t be sensitive about people telling you your code is broken.

Also, focusing on the code itself, for me at least, easily leads to thoughts like “this function is crap! What idiot wrote this!?”. Finding out who broke it leads to thoughts like “I see John introduced this buggy function. I should go check with him, maybe he had a good reason.”
Agree. Facebook might still have them in some log or neural thinggy about you, but it will protect you from direct profiling like the Cambridge Analitica debacle. If it would turn out that deleting the activity still allows Facebook to keep them and sell them to 3rd parties, it would be a company-ending event, so there is at least self-preservation.
Securing Live Streams in China
Just to make sure I understand this:

- Google has been spearheading a protocol called 'QUIC'

- It bypasses tradition TCP by using UDP to create it's own version of TCP but encrypts the data it sends

- However it could be (is?) sending a bit and header that can make tracking the message path easier.

I would guess if that is true then and would not effect the performance the bit and header should be removed. I don't see what the fuss is about. Can't two different implementations exist along side each other and the public will choose the better one?

Correction: I misread the article and thought though spin bit was for an encryption key. Let this be a lesson to everyone: if you are going to comment at 2 am in the morning reread your article.

an OoB write under a data race in a program that won't occur like this in the wild. The conclusion section of the post you mean contains that statement too.

The %p formatting used to gain access to the pointer of a variable uses the unsafe package, the formatting itself is incredibly rarely use to begin with.

I don't see anybody doing any security-related exploits doing that unless you explicitly write for it.

Go won't do out of bounds, edges cases do happen. You can find the same stuff on Java and Rust (yes, I had OoB in Rust, though on a baremetal environment without OS, even Rust ain't safe.)
Voyager mission telecommunication firsts
Both of those examples occurred at a time when human life held less value
Yeah, I agree with this interpretation. They held back and put it in quotes the first time they wrote it. But the second time they simply referred to it as "blowing out a gust of smoke."

It's dust and ash, not smoke.
If you are in the EU and press delete and the database owner (data controller) does not delete the post then the database owner is now breaking the law. As of ?may? this will carry significant fines.
Wouldn't the elephants say the same when watching a human smoking? Besides, swallowing charcoal and inhaling charcoal are completely different, I don't know how much good the latter would do for the stomach.
No, I don’t agree with you.

This is a basic audio playback widget on the web. The web is nominally an open platform. Whichever team built this decided to build it in a way that it would only support Google’s own web browser. It’s not unreasonable to expect a massive web company to build cross-browser support for their user-facing demos, especially in cases where there is obviously no reason that it needs to be incompatible.

Like I said, I appreciate that building cross-browser is not always possible. The difference between you and Google is that you aren’t one of the largest companies in the world, and you don’t publish your own browser.

It doesn't seem understood here that for many Facebook is for events, sharing some life updates with friends and family, and messenger, not compulsively scrolling your newsfeed to find articles about Trump's plan or something
But their current arrangements are partly a result of political lobbying. So if they’re politically engaged enough to lower their taxes why aren’t they politically engaged enough to answer to this?
web.archive.org has been archiving webpages for decades and I don't see anybody making a fuss about it since they are primarly archival. If you are a website owner you can easily opt out or have your data deleted.

Facebook's MO is "store all the shit and never delete it", an archival project should have an MO of "archive everything we can get and delete it when somebody complains".

Otherwise you'll never be able to archive any significant portion of the internet or fediverse.
It means deleted as in gone.

Your backups should be cycled after a few months and the deleted data will eventually not be present in any backups.
After having seen a meme, I gave a teacher a project formatted like this:

public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello world!") ;}}

We had a good laugh. (that was fine with him, of course as long as it's a joke)

PS: getting back to the original topic, imo, formatting style should be project-wide rules set at the beginning or during refactoring. Don't get too hung up on style as long as it stays consistent.
I don't see much value in trying to use logical speculation to generalize such behaviors to an entire species.

Anybody who has observed animals and pets will have noticed how each and every animal has its own personality, likes, dislikes and peculiarities. Just like people, who, despite our airs, are just another species.

Some of my pets eat people food which my other pets don't even look at. Some of them play with balls, while others don't. On YouTube, I follow a cool guy who has a pure vegetarian pet cat getting along with many normal cats.

This particular elephant might have been simply curious about the smoke or might have been playing with it for the heck of it.

They are individual peculiarities and I don't think any conclusion can be drawn about the entire species from them.
There are four or five out there. I would expect the average modern web app to be compatible with Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, and possibly IE11 if that’s appropriate for the particular use case.
Ridesharing versus Public Transit
About 20 years ago a friend and I were doing some contract work for a company. I was an undergrad (Comp Sci) and she was a graduate student (also Comp Sci---same college). Our task was to add links to a glossary in about 100 pages of HTML and my friend just started doing it all by hand (well, editing each file one at a time). I had to fight with her to stop and just think about the problem. We were both familiar with Unix, and we were working on a Unix system (SCO, but the company had blown thousands of dollars for the entire SCO works) and I realized we had access to lex.

Normally, one uses lex in conjunction with compilers, but it would work for this job---as each word was found, generate the output with a link to the glossary; otherwise just copy the input to the output. Half an hour later we were done with the entire task.

I just now realized that there may have been more to the approaches than I realized. I was looking at this very tedious task and not wanting to do it. Why not have the computer do the boring grunt work of finding and editing? But we were being paid hourly and it could have been that my friend was looking forward to doing this very tedious job for hours and making that much more money. I am reminded of the Upton Sinclair quote, "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it."

It could also have been that I think differently and realized the application of a standard Unix tool normally used for one task was appropriate for this task and my friend just couldn't see it. Either could be possible.

I have to wonder how much of this is due to "not understanding that the computer can be instructed to do the boring stuff" versus the "I don't want to code myself out of a job."
This one is at least...
I’ve read about the incident but haven’t seen mention of why they did this. Was their own system supposed to provide the same safety or something?
The governing system in the world at that time was not really universal democracy. It was mostly rule by the rich (who bought those cars) even in places which were ostensibly democratic.
I'd say 100%, but I'll take 81% too. Any ICO from a non-government entity is very close to a scam by definition.

(Heck, money from government entities is close to a scam itself, but at least it has better guarantees than "we're certain this crypto code is OK" and "a 18-year old implemented an Exchange in PHP from his parent's basement, you should really trust your coins (and real money) there").

What if this ends up true. Can Google just prefix all namespaces with google. ?

So now the API names are all changed.

Basically, if API are copyrightable, whats the minimal change to not consider it a copy?

com.oracle.String/lowerCase

Could this become

com.google.String/lowerCase

So now the name is changed? Or does this all now becomes a case of any similarity can be sued and on a case by case basis courts will jusge if its too similar or not enough?
GUI file browsers support keyboard commands and they are much faster to type, because commands are much shorter.

“cd .. {Enter}” in console is either “{Alt}+{Up arrow}” or “{Home} {Enter}” in GUI, 6 versus 2 key presses. “cd de{tab}” in console is “d e” or “{Alt}+d e” in GUI, 6 versus 2-3 key presses.

GUI tools are able to expose shorter commands because context is richer, i.e. user instantly sees a filter edit box popping up after {Alt}+d, user will see both current location + child items after each navigation or filter operation, etc. That kind of interactivity is what saves user input. The approach is hard to implement in a shell because shells were designed for command-output interaction model. OTOH, rich GUI tools are much harder to develop.
I think it is only intended to work with Apple’s partner carriers. I wanted to add my iPad to my AT&T data service and I could not use the built in SIM. Instead AT&T sent one for free. The iPad has a separate SIM slot and I imagine it will have to until the built in SIM is truly universal.
Only that they would have gone bankrupt if it hadn't been for the government in 2008 when it was around 105 years, next to a few other large car manufacturers.
If you do pinning, you could just as well use a self signed cert for your API and pin that. If your API is not just used for the app, add a private proxy/load balancer that uses your pinned cert.
Putting Trade Policy Risk in Perspective
Human eye's dynamic range perception in the dark is far superior to the poor quality video camera that was released.

The woman had crossed two lanes of the road before coming in front of the car - ie. fairly unrestricted range of view. A human driver paying attention would almost certainly have seen her and stopped or at least slowed down to a level where this would not have been a fatality.
How widespread is certificate pinning nowadays in iOS apps? Does anybody have any experiences?
