I like imagining a much better world in which we could have a Bureau of Stupid Identification. They'd have no power other than to point to something some other part of the government did and say, That is Hereby Declared Officially Stupid.

It would never work, because we can't have nice things. But a boy can dream.
"Ying exercised all of his vested Equifax stock options and then sold the shares, reaping proceeds of nearly $1 million. According to the complaint, by selling before public disclosure of the data breach, Ying avoided more than $117,000 in losses."

I'm sure in hindsight $117,000 would seem a fair amount to not have the SEC on you.

I'm surprised the losses avoided were so little.
> It's less expensive than launching satellites

Are you sure? If China knocks out one of ours, we’ll knock out at least one of theirs. We’ll also likely implement a suite of sanctions. Shooting down a satellite is an act of war.
If exogenous factors make an area more desirable to live in, increasing demand and the market-clearing rent, that’s not “artificially inflated” IMO. The landlord is (or at least should be) exposed to the vagaries of supply and demand in the downward direction as well as the upward.
It is good that someone is being charged, but it would be nice if it was someone more senior.

They always make the little guy take the fall. Avoiding $117,000 losses on $1 million is nothing compared to what some people get away with.

The CEO, meanwhile, walked away with up to $90 million:

The other executives were “not aware” when they sold their shares:

> Equifax, the credit report company hacked over the summer exposing the personal information of 145 million Americans, said a special committee has determined that none of the four executives who sold shares at the time did anything wrong.

> The high-level executives sold shares worth a combined $1.8 million in the days immediately after the company discovered the breach.

That is a pretty remarkable coincidence if you ask me.

Well they'll have good internet, for starters.
Its both. They won't create more for philosophical reasons because the value would plummet. They won't create more for technical reasons because it needs an 80% majority of nodes to approve a change for it to occur.

Some people will tell you they control the validating nodes, but thats only really a half truth. Ripple controls 3 out of 50+ nodes, and also controls the default list of approved validator nodes. There's no reason why you can't deviate from the default list of validators, but its hard to say if anyone actually does in practice.
Which is kind of amazing because their issues of just trying to get cars down the line and trying to fix them after they are built before delivery sounds exactly like the kind of stuff GM used to do that Toyota amazed them by avoiding.
Thirteen year olds used to be adults. It's no coincidence that the traditional cultural markers of "transitioning from childhood to adulthood", like bar mitzvahs, take place around that age. Teenagers used to be apprentices or naval midshipmen.

Then society got to the point where teenagers were no longer capable of doing anything useful, so society started extending childhood, to the point where nobody under the age of 30 considers themselves adults anymore. From that perspective, any reversion to the more natural pattern of human development is going to seem sad and destructive of childhood.

But that perspective is formed by a very unnatural way of life. Teenage naval midshipmen weren't wracked with angst and depression the way contemporary American teenagers are. They didn't chafe and rebel against their parents the way contemporary American teenagers do, because they weren't treated like children; they were treated like young adults.

I'm white and Jewish and get hassled by security going in and out of Israel, every single time. Seriously. American passport and multiple trips in and out of the country.

All I can say is that the initial screening is done mostly by young women who are following very closely to some training they have and looking for how you react to questions. Most are secular and think religious Jews are only ultra-orthodox (because that's what they see day in and day out), so when I try to patiently explain that yes, I'm religious, no, I'm not orthodox, yes, I learned my Hebrew in Jerusalem at the municipal ulpan (intensive course for new immigrants), but no, I didn't take a package from anyone and packed my bags all by myself ... off to secondary screening.

It's frustrating, but you just can't take it personally. They're just playing the odds as they see them and going by the percentages.

Ben Gurion is a great airport once you get past security.
A year has hardly gone by over the last seven or eight, where the crowd hasn't largely proclaimed Tesla would die, and die very soon. Analysts were overwhelmingly bearish at every step. Competitors said none of what Tesla has accomplished could be done, including the Model S period.

I keep seeing people say that Tesla is dead in three months. They have ~$3 billion in cash with the ability to dilute at will. The irrational, negative emotionalism that's being directed at Tesla right now is incredible. I can't imagine where it's coming from or why. There's almost a lust for them to fail. Nobody cheered for the death of Fiat or Jaguar like this.
Component count is around 140. Fwiw, some are stateless, functional components while others are more complex.

A form of master/detail is driving the need to detect prop changes to fetch additional data while freeing previous data. Consider the master/detail of multiple levels deep driven by route parameters through the ui hierarchy. In RN, this is less of an issue since screens tend to be more focused and ui stack driven. But users working full-time in a complex ui specialized for power users can require much more data/dynamism.

Until the recent declines they were already worth ~20% more than Ford or GM. The market cap had already baked in massive success, but the financing necessary to get them there was dependent on an every rising share value. A virtuous cycle until it becomes vicious.

There’s a floor for the stock value: the value of the mark to a Chinese upstart EV company (of which there are already a dozen producing a higher volume than Tesla).

My anecdote is no less valid, and has a larger sample size.
I'm doing it (mobile internet, not van life). The conversations on RV forums deal with stuff like unlimited data in the middle of Wyoming for less money, or how to get a SIM card and plan from a connected car device that AT&T discontinued because RVers were using for other than it's intended purpose.

What the RVers are too cheap to do is pay for the product they want. Go to unlimitedville.com, pay $200 a month, and you have unlimited LTE in every city you travel to. If you want the best mobile internet you have to pay for it.
Besides, this is gonna have big impact for ppl who travel on planes frequently!

You know how how much i desire internet connection everytime i travel long distance flights.
I still seem to see reports of problems with brand new model S cars off the line, so while moving up to S quality would be an improvement for the three it’s still a pretty low bar.

Why aren’t they where Ford/Toyota/GM/Honda/Kia/anyone else is?

I thought one of the big ideas behind the model S was that they would use it to learn higher volume manufacturing (relative to the roadster) so that when the model three came they be ready.

We are not seeing that at all.

Ask HN: What are the implications of the EU's GDPR on small startups?
I've been reading about the European Union's General Data Privacy Regulation (GDPR) and one the things that astonished me is the amount of regulatory red tape that it adds to small startups or side projects that have European customers.
Given that, I have started to feel that if enforced, the GDPR could probably mean starting out a one person side project/or a startup that collects EU based user's personal info into a total nightmare.

While I am not a lawyer, it would be great to know what the broader community thinks about it.
The biggest advantage is being able to image things that aren't flat. It would be extremely useful for digitizing natural history collections (like the beetle in the article). Unfortunately, natural history museums, at least the smaller ones, like the one I am affiliated with, probably don't have the funding for a super high end camera like this and instead have to to get creative with flatbed scanners and light boxes in the mere $10,000 range. It's a shame, because the resolution and depth of field of the Hasselblad would be absolutely killer for, for example, herbarium specimens (pressed plants).

Definitely. The application is conceptually a transaction log of field/subfield patches, which would lend itself to something like an LSM, and we're looking at possible alternatives.

CRDTs could be a solution, but from what I gather they require too much context information to be viable for a text editing application. Our app currently uses something similar to OT.
No. However, it may affect them.

Fair enough. As mentioned in Update on Async Rendering blog post, there’s a less verbose data fetching API coming down the line (“suspense”). Not quite ready for the release yet. But it will require components to be async-compatible which is why we're getting these lifecycle changes out now.

> They always make the little guy take the fall

Taking the fall means "to bear the blame or punishment for another person's failure or misdeed" [1]. Ying is being charged with his own crimes alone.

Furthermore, we have no evidence about whether (a) the other executives actually committed a violation, (b) Ying is the only one who left a prosecutable paper trail or (c) Ying will take a plea deal and co-operate against the others.

Related - Lin Clark has an amazing talk on explaining React Fiber:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCuYPiUIONs
He was well known to folks in the security scene in the late 90s/early 2000s. He had many bold claims, but knew nothing about security and generally bragged about his fictional transgressions for attention. It's not that it's difficult to believe that someone of even low to moderate skill could have hacked such targets during that time, it's just that he was a big talker that could never back up what he was saying.

He initially got rich off of a blatant pump and dump engineered by himself, followed by some Ponzi schemes, and a lot of credit card fraud, most of which he probably wasn't busted for. It wasn't what we typically think of as Dot Com Bubble money, it just happened to take advantage of that investment climate.

Megaupload was the closest thing to legitimate he has done.
Tesla high valuation is the only thing that has prevented it getting bought by one of the big car companies, and that's a good thing. GM used to buy smaller competitors to take them off the market and just keep the name as a token of the brand. Hundreds of players from the first half of the 20th century got swallowed into a few brands.

Tesla has pushed the car industry forward decades in a few years. The big players were just competing in price and size of vehicles and never taking risks. Elon Musk has the vision and charisma to execute and move Tesla to the forefront of innovation, keeping everybody else in its toes trying to catch up. I don't think the market cap will fall anytime soon for this company.
It is not entirely impossible to have satellites where the legal owner is incorporated somewhere for regulatory purposes. There are a few geostationary, traditional style C/Ku-band transponder capacity satellites which are owned by companies in the Isle of Man. Huge numbers of satellites are owned by a Luxembourg based company (SES), one of the top-4 largest satellite operators worldwide, not because they particularly love Luxembourg so much, but because it has regulatory and tax advantages. The majority of SES' earth stations and facilities are not located in Luxembourg.

> "that our elections can't be hacked"

There have been concerns about election security going back many years for different interpretations of "hacked". Election fraud worries (one interpretation of "hacking" an election) go back pretty much as far as you want to go. Foreign influence? The Foreign Agents Registration Act was enacted in 1938. Hacking electronic voting machines was in the news around the 2000 election. "All started right after Trump won"? Let's at least be specific about what we mean when we say "all", for starters.

Obama (in)famously said "The larger point I want to emphasize here is that there is no serious person out there that would suggest that you could even rig America's elections" in response to Donald Trump speaking out about the possibility that the US Presidential election would be rigged. It's unfortunate because the integrity of elections is something we need to value and secure to ensure people have faith in the system, because if the elections are secure, if people doubt them, it undeservedly undermines people's belief in the legitimacy of the elected government. (Similarly, it's important to engage in good faith discussions with people you may not necessarily agree with if you want to cooperate and move forward.)

Note that Obama was speaking specifically about rigging elections, which Trump was on record as saying "I'm afraid the election's going to be rigged. The allegations I've heard† (and a focus of the Mueller investigation) have been of Russian influence in the elections via misinformation, not rigging or hacking election machines.

I'm all for honest discussion of the topics you raise, which includes being clear specifically on what was said and alleged, as well as what specifically is under discussion.

† You can likely find anyone saying pretty much anything, so let's please except more fringe accusations on all sides.

I just tried the first batch as a torrent and it worked fine for me. Note that IA torrents are hosted as web seeds, so if your client doesn't support that, you won't have any seeds.

Also note that I don't think the hosted versions can be imported back into the Lytro Desktop software, if that's what you were hoping for; they're just stacks of JPEGs, JSON metadata, and the depth map data.

Rehosting an individual embed should be pretty straightforward, just replacing the CDN URLs with relative or absolute ones to wherever it's been rehosted (or to Wayback Machine URLs). I'll be writing up some details at some point, but don't wait on me.

Rehosting an entire user's "pictures.lytro.com" gallery was trickier than that, I don't think I was able to get it working locally.

Good luck.
Answering the only question that matters, thanks.
I think you dramatically underestimate just how strong SpaceX's position is (especially relative to Tesla). SpaceX launched more than anyone else in the industry and doubled their nearest domestic competitor and arch-rival ULA last year (which has been bleeding people, by the way, and needs to retool for a totally new launch vehicle while supporting the safe shutdown and launch-out of 3 other launch vehicles). And not only is SpaceX out-launching them, but they've demonstrated practical reuse which builds a high moat around their launch business.

It's understandable if you haven't been following this very closely, as the situation has flipped dramatically in just about 2 or 3 years, even in spite of the failures during that time.

To give an example of Tesla:

Imagine Tesla was outproducing GM and Toyota combined, globally, and had also demonstrated level 5 self-driving Model 3s and Semis for the last couple years while readying to flip the switch on 300GW worth of solar to power their global supercharger network (powering tens of millions of cars) and power several medium-sized countries. That might be comparable to the situation SpaceX finds themselves in right now.
> Then Trump won and created mass hysteria in the political community, then the FUD went full steam ahead about Russia.

Except in the real world, where the public announcement about Russian interference campaign happened before the election. And the detailed information about penetration of voting system came from the Trump Administration. Neither fits your narrative.

Without evangelicals and dreamers major new ISP infrastructure wouldn't get built. But it has to run into practical realities of what a network will look at all the way down the OSI model stack.

A) A thin tarp or pant etc could obscure the shape without blocking radio waves.

B) These things need to transmit up, so you can reasonably block most signals in other directions. Aircraft would work, but again not cheap.

The real issue is more on the human side and network monitoring. Lots of encrypted network traffic to a ransom location would be suspect.

I tried the Audi A6's self driving feature and it was fantastic.
Yeah, but that was centuries later, and probably in part due to the riches gained in the New World.

China especially was only dominated well into the late 1800s. You can see that more as a symptom of Chinese decline. Note that Japan made the transformation to modernity quite well.

But you're of course right in that we'll never know what would have happened. The Americas were way behind in military technology, but they could have caught up in a generation or two, with huge amounts of gold and other riches to trade.
