Those have desktop class high TDP CPUs in them. The distinction here is that this is a low(ish) TDP CPU intended for laptops where battery life matters.
Just curious, who do you think are the other two?
Why shouldn’t they be judged according to the performance of their competitors? If you aim high but your “failure” is better than the rest, it’s still something positive.
Good read outlining the timeline of events from the person who originally reported the leak:
https://medium.com/@djhoulihan/no-panera-bread-doesnt-take-s...

I found his initial interaction with their head of IT Security (very first initial response) laughably appalling:

Dylan Houlihan <dylan@breakingbits.com>
to Mike, Geri Haight -

Hello Mike et al,

Thank you for making yourselves available. There is a security vulnerability on the delivery.panerabread.com website that
exposes sensitive information belonging to every customer who has signed up for an account to order Panera Bread online.
This shows the customer's full name, email address, phone number and the last four digits of their saved credit card number.
Moreover, the customers are easily enumerable which means an attacker could crawl through all the records.

I can provide the specific details of the vulnerability over email once you respond, but if you prefer (for more security),
I can also encrypt the information with a PGP key you provide me. Alternatively we can hop on a phone call.

Best regards,
Dylan Houlihan

And their response:

Mike Gustavison <Mike.Gustavison@panerabread.com>
to dylan

Dylan,

My team received your emails however it was very suspicious and appeared scam in nature therefore was ignored. If this is
a sales tactic I would highly recommend a better approach as demanding a PGP key would not be a good way to start off.
As a security professional you should be aware that any organization that has a security practice would never respond to
a request like the one you sent. I am willing to discuss whatever vulnerabilities you believe you have found but I will
not be duped, demanded for restitution/bounty or listen to a sales pitch.

Regards,
Mike

Think of the problem in this way... you have a butler that is very very knowledgeable about all manner of things, which surely is a valuable and useful resource. When you ask him to pack you a tuxedo for attending the baseball game he responds with "might I suggest a more leisurely attire? I've noted that most people attending baseball games seem to dress casually." You may respond "Capital idea, man! By Jove, Jeeves you are a life saver!" He then packs your jeans and a bowling shirt in your travel bag and you are heartily satisfied.

Over the course of years you repeat this many times, until one day when Jeeves decides not to suggest but instead to simply pack your jeans and a bowling shirt. When you arrive at your destination and open your bag you are aghast and call your butler. "Good God Jeeves! I specifically asked you for a tuxedo to attend the baseball game and you packed me this slovenly casual wear!" Jeeves, in his defense, responds "but sir, for YEARS you've asked for a tuxedo to attend baseball games and I have suggested casual wear, and you have ALWAYS chosen the casual wear!" "True enough Jeeves, you presumptuous butler, but tonight I am singing the national anthem at the game! Without formal attire I shall be reduced to ruin! You're fired!"

Too many products have opted to be the presumptuous Jeeves, without even bothering to spend the years our poor butler did learning the eccentricities of his employer. And yet even with that dedication, poor Jeeves was fired because he was confident he could infer the intentions of his employer. Whether it was the arrogance of Jeeves presuming to know better than his employer, the ignorance of Jeeves in understanding that he lacked crucial information, or that Jeeves suffered under the delusion that past performance predicted future results matters not a whit... because Jeeves has been sacked.

Jeeves may find employment elsewhere but if he does not mend his ways he will eventually find himself unwanted and unemployable due entirely to his own faults.
I never expected Tesla to deliver the Model 3 on time. I just "delayed" my order to AWD because my Leaf lease is up before I'll get the 2WD Tesla. (Also, because my wife wants a minivan and Chrysler now offers a plugin minivan.)

Remember, no car in history ever had 500,000 pre-orders. No car even came close. If anyone expected Tesla to ramp up to that kind of production overnight, they are delusional.

Besides, when I ordered my model 3, I assumed that it would be very late... So late, that I assumed I'd just wait for the AWD one to replace our AWD car.
Not really.

Most of the code uses lowercase function names (`get_document`). But since the library replicates the DOM, it copied the JS function names which, IMO, is an acceptable reason.
Good point, I could have used "hacker" instead, though that's more specific to writing software. I didn't perceive "tinkerer" as a word with negative connotations when I wrote it.

Come to think of it, many outside the hacker community would perceive "hacker" more negatively than "tinkerer", because many people still think of hackers as criminal. At least that's my perception. I guess words have different values in different contexts.

In principle, yes, but for some reason it really bothered me to have to give Apple $100 just to install some open source software on my iPad. I’d much rather have given that money to Nicolas who spent immeasurable effort trying to work around Apples silly restrictions to get a working shell environment onto iOS. Apple are the last people that deserve to get the money for this! It’s the moral issue, not whether spending $100 is a financial burden.

SF is not adding units because people are not allowed to add units. I am specifically saying you need to change that to build units. I am also saying that a portion of windfall from changing zoning should be used to offset the cost of new infrastructure. As long as building units stays profitable and people are allowed to build units then people are going to build units. Giving people building units even more profit is going to have minimal effect.

As it stands now anyone that can convince a zoning commission to change zoning get's a huge windfall from doing so as suddenly with zero other changes the land is more valuable. That's ripe for corruption on many levels and creates terrible incentives.

As to building infrastructure after people show up that's really does not work because building takes time. The lag between getting permission to build and someone moving in is not long enough to finish infrastructure but it is useful.

> First, the cost of speculative gambles is economic collapse. Such gambles were a root cause of the Great Depression

A man has earnt a nobel prize of economics by detailing how the federal reserve's money supply policy was the most noticeable trigger of the 1930's economic collapse. But even if you disagreed with that, speculation is definitely not what caused the great depression.

- The popular fear of engrossing and forestalling [types of speculative activity outlawed in England] may be compared to the popular terrors and suspicions of witchcraft. The unfortunate wretches accused of this latter crime were not more innocent of the misfortunes imputed to them than those who have been accused of the former -

> Second, how exactly is regulating investment going to cost anybody their job? Think it through

By restricting investment it lowers wage growth and employment. The rate of investment is maybe the best predictor of productivity increases and wage growth.

> Third, and this is by far the dumbest thing you said, of course the big bad gummint picks up the tab when people lose their jobs, it’s called unemployment!

Unemployment benefits are paid by the population, not by the government. Government is unable to compensate for its mistakes, because government owns nothing at all. Taxes are the ultimate ninja loan.

> How fortunate you are to live with all of this evil regulation that you can be coddled into thinking that you know better than the generations that came before and put in place these institutions and norms.

What is unfortunate is to disagree with it and still being obligated to follow it. If you find those kind of regulations upon the action of individuals beneficial, then the only thing you have to do is allow the Libertarians you so despise not follow them, and harm themselves. AFter that you will be able to enjoy your cautious riches and laugh at them, while not incurring any loss and having relative advantages.

Yeah, I don't know how common this is but when I decided to do something about the couple of old DIY and not really working properly Windows PCs I had under my desk, I decided that the cleanest route to go was just to get a big 17" Alienware laptop. It's not really portable though I could take it downstairs in my house if I wanted to. It's mostly for sometimes gaming or other Windows-specific tasks and I just didn't want a lot more random clutter in my office.

I honestly wonder why. I developed a portable small-quantity project a few years ago and designed in a 20AH LiFePO4 battery pack; it seemed like the only sane choice. The cost was slightly higher and density was slightly lower, but the difference was less than 10%. Not having to be concerned with battery failure modes was a huge advantage. But those factors must be different at larger scales; the largest scale I can think of where density matters would be for a commercial electric 18-wheeler tractor; what chemistry do those use?

> Facebook is no more to blame for this genocide than the printing press was to blame for the holocaust.

The printing press was a physical machine. How anyone can posit this as an argument with "half a brain" is beyond me. These are completely different scenarios.

Facebook can and has a long history of curating content. That immediately makes it different entirely from the printing press.
Comparing it to a newspaper is fair-it curates content. Sometimes it is biased, willingly or not.

It's a shame that on HN, whenever the industry has issues, it's immediately ignored and shuffled under conspiracy theories/government takeover/etc. There are valid concerns here-never-mind the fact that entities like Facebook and Google are essentially becoming governing bodies.

Ask HN: Offering a price match
I'm in the B2B space, selling on-prem security software that sells for between $100-300 per node, depending on volume.

Our prices are comparable to the competition, but some customers say we look expensive compared to the competition, so I guess they are offering bigger discounts.

I was considering offering to match or beat competitors quotes, for deals where price seemed to be an issue, but I was concerned that just might make us look overpriced in the first place.

What are your thoughts on this?
Use Google Scholar. Most technical researchers these days put all their papers on their webpage for free, and these days also on ArXiv.

That's sorta true, but the layered-userspace-filesystem support is a pretty big feature that Docker pioneered Linux support for.

Did userspace filesystems/layered filesystem-in-a-box implementations exist before? Sure: from ZFS to squashfs to tar, all the components were around.

But Docker's popularity is due to its integration; not its novelty. By bundling a filesystem-in-a-box abstraction layer with varying degrees of native OS support into something like a mountable artifact/image, hiding the image caching mechanics behind a nice CLI and image-configuration file format (love 'em or hate 'em, Dockerfiles are a phenomenal example of minimalism and convenience: add some meta commands, and everything else is just shell), and integrating all that with the privacy/isolation (namespaces/chroots) and resource management (cgroups/quotas) stuff, Docker made a really, really powerful model of thinking about "containers" as a single concept.

The thought model is Docker's big achievement: other competitors may unseat Docker eventually, but the concept of "container" as a single, unitary thing that's almost like a VM image will stick around, and the more piecemeal understanding of how containers work will be largely unnecessary, and thus save a lot of time for a lot of people.
Man, those features should be part of a system app in the stock Android ROMs. Privacy tools need more public exposure.
I'm an academic researcher. I disagree with most of the article. The main distinction I see between "research" and "tinkering" is not what the author calls "scholarship". From personal experience the only serious distinction is that "researchers" tend to have a very long time attention span compared with "tinkerers".

As for the rest, the goal of academic research, lately, seems to be to produce as many as possible units for the benefit of the publishing industry. In the case of very successful articles, you can fit all the readers in a (small) bus. Most of the articles are badly written, because they follow old habits from the age when printing was expensive. Citations are done in a very selective way. Not so long ago there was no need to give the source of an "unpublished" article, "preprint" was enough. Tinkerers work is almost never cited, even if it is read and used. Blogs? are you kidding me? that's not "scholarship". Heck, even arXiv still seems exotic in some fields, despite the fact that it is a good, standard communication mean for the researchers in other fields. Finally, peer review. How does it work? Researcher B reads what researcher A reports and expresses an opinion, just like any honest reader could.This passes for validation. Magic.

In conclusion I believe the future of academic research comes from "tinkering" with a long time attention span. The dissemination is technically trivial. Peer review will be supplemented by more rigorous validation (although there is no absolute solution here). The same kind of validation will be applied to tinkerers results.

Orkut was the biggest social network in Brazil before Facebook.

Orkut didn't have the concept of a news feed. It had just communities, which were thousands of micro forums people joined and were displayed on their profiles; and scrapbooks, which were walls of text messages -- people could post on others' scrapbooks and on their own, so you used it to both message people and "broadcast" content about yourself, but that wasn't shown to anyone who hadn't voluntarily visited that scrapbook page.

> What most Tesla shorts fail to recognize is that Tesla has already gotten to the point that if something really really bad where to happen, any number of well capitalized tech firms would scoop them up in a instant (looking at Apple in particular).

Maybe -- or they could wait to buy their assets in bankruptcy.
> The cars are really a minimal amount of hardware, with software wrapped around them.

It is a car... An electric car at that, where battery tech and costs have pretty much been the cornerstone of Tesla's success. Claiming hardware doesn't matter to a car company is like claiming foundation doesn't matter for a house.

Plus there's nothing particularly minimalist about any of Tesla's cars. They take relatively simple mechanical parts and replace them with complex electrical parts. Look at the door handles in the Model 3 for a perfect example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIADZHLHGL0

It isn't clickbait because it is such a common situation. I would say in the majority of cases when I try to use the bleeding edge of any one technology, I end up dealing with a nightmare of version conflicts with the remaining technology that's relevant to the system I'm working on. I think articles like this are worth reading, because they illuminate a specific case of a very widespread condition that we all face as software developers.

I was next to Model X at a stoplight last night.

They look nice from a distance, but when you sit up close you can see where every panel and piece of trim just doesn't line up quite right. Sitting in my cheap little Mazda3, I've never noticed any problem with simple fit-and-finish details like that.

I truly hope the Model 3s catch up, but I really think those owners will be in for a world of headaches after delivery.

Not trying to drum up any controversy and I fully admit it is a small sample size. As someone who falls in the demographic "Under 30 and Living in a Metropolitan City" I feel comfortable sharing some of my own personal and my friends experiences in their particular office as well.

The dominant news story has always been the story women earn 80 percent less than men, but that was difficult to reconcile compared to what I was seeing in my work life. This article backed up some of those points.

If you are looking for hard data to back up what I experienced, the article posted here is a perfect source.

100% ... although I sometimes value some links and images shared by friends that aren't original content, I _rarely_ appreciate the stupid memes, and page shares that are little more than just people screaming into the echo chamber at people that already agree with them.

I've been manually blocking page after page after page ... every time something gets through, and I think to myself, "ugh, this is stupid", I "hide everything" from that page in the hopes that I'll never see it again (and yet, "LAD Bible" keeps coming back into my feed!).

As you say, I much prefer to see original content and pics posted by people ... in fact, even if it's a link that's posted (and not re-shared from another page), it's usually interesting because they took the time to actually copy/paste that link from a website, so chances are they've actually read the content.
