I believe the problem last time was that whomever it was who was doing the answering (FB lawyer?) too often claimed not to have the info being asked for ("I'd have to check and get back to you"). The questioners felt it was an intentional ploy to weasel out of answering uncomfortable questions. Hence the current insistence that Zuck be there himself.
True. But it certainly fell from grace. Prior to social media it was (paraphrasing) "Follow me via RSS" than morphed into "Follow me on social." Even site where RSS is baked in (i.e., WordPress) stopped mentioning it.

It never went away, but it certainly (sadly) got a serious demotion.
Purely annecdote, but... Many engineers I've met in the US and Europe were at least business curious. Like "would be cool to start my own company/site" even if their idea is sometimes not feasible.

Almost all of the "raised in Japan" Japanese engineers I talk to end up being very tech focused, to a fault. Like really focused on the tech and almost never looking at the business end of things. Some even don't think about product dynamics (usability) and are basically one step away from researchers in terms of awareness about what "matters" in a business environment.

Meanwhile you have these people taking business classes being very "oh I would really like to start a block chain business", which... I mean I get it but why do you think any customer cares about the block chain-ness of your business???

You have technical people uninterested in business and business people who don't show real passion in product, just in the idea of running a business. There's probably an opportunity to bridge the gap but so far in Tokyo I've only seen stuff on the business end of things.

Engineering talent here seems rarely prodded to know their own worth or to explore the business end of things. Instead you have a lot of things for the business types to talk to other business types. The gap needs to be bridged and no one is doing it despite all the money in "startup incubation"
And even when continuing to use it in general, use it where it acted up several times? Why were the hands not on the wheel and the driver extra careful here?
I disagree with your implied belief that cars should have priority on the roads & that in every collision with a pedestrian it's implicitly the pedestrian who is at fault unless it can be proven otherwise.

We all owe each other a duty of care. Excuses about 'she just walked out in front of me' are just that: excuses. The driver in this case had plenty of time to slow down and avoid a collision & simply chose not to do so. That's inexcusable.

The fact that the driver was a pile of self-driving code doesn't change that one iota.
Advanced Persistent Threat (APT aka Nation state) actors are tracked using known indicators of compromise. These indicators can include infrastructure identifiers such as domain names and ip addresses that maybe used in a phishing url or post-compromise for command-and-control or to download other malware.

Other indicators can include malware sample hashes or actor-specific detection rules (Example: YARA,Snort or Netwitness rules).

These indicators are typically not public. Some can be accessed if you pay the right sum of money and undergo vetting,still,some are kept private within the relevat security firms or organizations.

As you can imagine,Google has their hands in many pies including security research and threat intelligence collection(Everyone loves their VirusTotal intelligence product). They can scan email metadata for any of these indicators as they see fit.

Generally speaking,some indicators are of such high quality, they can be used to detect well crafted spear phishing by a nation state actor. But most are good only to detect untargeted attacks or targeted attacks that include a large number of targets.

Hope that answered your question.
I'm pretty sure that changed with Windows 10 and telemetry you can't switch off completely.

Yeah, there is so much wrong going on with that road.
The divider warning sign is also lower than a standard car.
Just don't use the web front end, access them using your favorite mail client using IMAP. Oh wait, google fucked that up too. Luckily most clients worked around the google bullshit over the years.
I think a better analogy might be "If I take a few hundred thousand MP3s and come up with a clever way to reduce each to a short representation of its genre, mood, tempo, etc that can be used to identify similar music, then throw away all the original MP3s, am I still in possession of the original music". The whole point is to turn the individual data into broad, general categorisations that are easier to handle because they contain much less information. Remember, they're using this for ad targeting, and the reason they're doing it is so they can target broad groups of people rather than having to manually go through and target ads at each individual one by one.

I'd be bored out of my mind between sets at the gym if I didn't have my Feedly RSS feeds and gReader Pro on my Android.

The Bugle and the Allusionist are tiny rays of light in these dark times. Podcasting is a simple and honest business: I download an MP3 and maybe listen, they get paid to read some ad copy.
Yeah, the fact that Facebook app is preloaded (with granted permissions!) on many Android phones is a huge issue.
I'd like to be able to load log files in a database and have it take the same space as compressed log file size, not the uncompressed size (which can easily be 20x more). I guess this requires database built on compact data structures or something similar, but surely simple support for dictionary compression for database text fields would help? Text fields are small chunks of text of the same type, so they should be amenable to good compression with the same dictionary. I've searched around and found some support in RocksDB, but that's pretty much it.

Most compression libraries offer dictionary support, although it's somewhat obscure. For example, there is no method in zlib to actually create your dictionary. Bindings and higher level libraries often ignore the dictionary support.
Exactly. Or even production line workers. You can cost the company big money if they have to stop the line for you.

There are lots of jobs where it is not unreasonable to require punctuality on a pretty regular basis.
I think asking the GCC developers for a builtin form of __is_constant would be a sensible step, so that the worst of those macros can eventually be retired.
And look who fell for it (techcrunch):

"However, it seems the driver ignored the vehicle’s warnings to take back control" [1]

Followed by the quote from Tesla that at some point in the history of the ride a warning of some sort was given.

Ask HN: What is a good marketplace to find weekend projects?
I'm looking for a site like freelancer.com, peopleperhour.com, to find some weekend project to do.

I'd like to not make 1/20th of my normal rate, though. Is there a site for professional, experienced programmers only, where you don't have to compete with improvised tech-savvy teenagers from Bangladesh?
While I find it deplorable that several companies are essentially using people, although in this case apparently willing, participants in testing auto pilot or autonomous driving software. I also find the lack of prominent road markings, signage, or any significant shock absorbing zone simply astonishing!

It makes me wonder, is that layout actually on purpose?
I truly find it hard to believe that a road or traffic authority in this day and age could design that on purpose!
It's quite well known that human attention is a tenous thing, and that the attention given to an object is primarily proportional to its size. But here we have a barrier end that is signed as being about as dangerous as a a bit of debris.
You can't stop progress, even if it's negative. Especially something that is relatively easy to make. If nukes were easy to make, we'd all be dead.
I visited the "Thrive Global" site and looked for the app. It is 3 clicks in, and appears to be... a tracking app which is available only on Samsung devices.

I'd be better off googling for "Productivity tools" over trying to process this list.
What I'm looking for really is anything specific to auto-pilot technology to suggest that the safety benefits won't also be met, or exceeded, when extrapolated across the whole population.

All other factors taken into account, driving has become much, much safer in recent years, and is now safer than it ever was. When you start to use technology to eliminate driver errors in that self-same error-prone cohort, there's no reason to think that the safety dividend won't be even more pronounced than it is today.

If you want to link crash rates to wealth, you would also have to account for countries like Germany, that has a similar median wealth figure to the US, but a vastly lower motorway death rate [1]

It seems you can't both say 1) Tesla drivers are less likely to have accidents because they are wealthy and error-prone, and 2) Extending self-driving technology that eliminates basic errors to less-wealthy and/or more error-prone drivers won't have a net benefit on driver safety.

Nice! I like it and see potential. Was quite disappointed of all the OSX file managers so far and I think I've tried them all.

After staying for a bit with pathfinder I'm back to finder. While not super decent it still doesn't get into my way too often.

Something more advanced would be welcome though and I would even be willing to pay for it, given it suits my needs. That means though I rather wait for v1.0 because I miss quit a lot of features / ui usability in the current state.

Make it the Sublimetext of file managers and you have a customer.
Build it and they will come. Scale it up and it will turn to gold. IPO before reality catches up.

The same could kinda be said for YouTube. That is, Goggle had a massive and active community, but it needed some tweaks. Instead they build Google Plus and wait for they to come. We know that outcome :)

I think the problem with RSS was - and still is? - is the data it provides. A social network can harvest MUCH more data (due to the endless number of connections between "the nodes.") RSS is too old school.

Put another way, imagine being hired by Google - while FB and Twitter are taking off - and being told you're going to work on a new & improved RSS reader. That would have triggered a mass exit.

Good to hear that you are dedicating attention to Riot's UI which is currently the only decentralized app I use :). Less often really is better when it comes to UI, case in point: having to admin Google Apps could be great but is in fact a pain due to sluggish JS redrawing plus constantly re-arranged navi-bar(s)/icons/text/etc. causing one to NEVER be properly fast with it which is a pain for anyone working on daily admin tasks for an organisation (me).

Also, thanks for drawing attention to my ignorance when it came to the protocol aspect: can see key players ARE built on proper protocols.
It's not the case that malloc always works under Linux. It may return NULL if the memory is not available. Try it out! Write a program that allocates half your memory, fills it with 0xFF, then sleeps. Run two instances of it. The malloc will fail in the second one.

According to [1], the OOM killer is a consequence of the fork syscall, and can't be removed without breaking backward compatibility.

I don't care about Tesla at all, not a fan boy or anything, but I don't understand all the blaming on Tesla for this accident.
So, the guy had complained 'between 7 and 10 times' about Autopilot malfunctioning there, yet he kept on using it
Autopilot disengaged before the crash, giving visual and audible alerts before turning off, yet he didn't take the wheel, so he probably was doing something else instead of keeping attention in a zone where he said the thing failed...
How many times do they have to say that even if you're using AP you need to stay focused on the road?
I'm sorry for the guy, but if you don't trust a system that's as critical as this you either don't use it or you're very cautious when using it.
Bullshit or post a source.
Funny, I've set up a RSS reader again just this week.

Prior to that, my main source of information was google feed (when you sweep right on android main screen - for those who don't know it, it's a feed of news curated by google supposed to match our interests). I totally loved it, as it properly detected my interests and shown articles about them even from websites I don't know about.

But lately, I saw more and more posts I wasn't interested in. Well, it always happened, but those made me wondering because they were posts about brands, or very specific products. Was this promoted content? I don't have a clue.

Be it promoted content or not, I realized I was vulnerable: anything could be pushed to me and I would think I see it because I'm interested in it. And I have no way of checking why something appears in my feed.

So I decided to get back to RSS, and realized I could still have the discovery of new sources using... google alerts. I can set a google alerts using the advanced search semantics of google search, and get the result as a RSS feed. This means I discover new sources and I can verify why it appeared (it matches my custom search). Best of both world.

And obviously, I can also subscribe to specific RSS feeds to be sure to not miss something I love.
How is it difficult to handle?

void* xmalloc(size_t s) {
void *p;
if (!(p = malloc(s)) {
panic(“OOM”);
}
return p;
}

If your process ran out of RAM, you get to quit. Why offload it on some other random process? This is how your database process runs out of memory, and your web workers get killed (or vice versa). In either case your system isn’t usable, but one is harder to debug.

In fact having the above in stdlib would have been just as effective at fixing thousands of little bugs and would have collectively saved us all thousands if not more man hours of developing the OOM killer and then raging online about it.

It is mentioned in the manual of the car:

"Traffic-Aware Cruise Control cannot detect all objects and may not brake/decelerate for stationary vehicles, especially in situations when you are driving over 50 mph (80 km/h) and a vehicle you are following moves out of your driving path and a stationary vehicle or object is in front of you instead."

This analogy immediately reminds me that with enough high res / low res pairs we can rebuild a high resolution image from its low res version with fairly good results. Wonder if the same could be done here.
This is C++ on Windows for you. On Linux, most compilers follow the ABI that GCC created, which has become very stable. I actually cannot name a C++ compiler that doesn't follow that ABI.
Though in case of CentOS it probably helps more than it hurts. For RHEL, the product being sold and bought is not the bits, but the support.
First, everyone's different. There's no single optimal workload that applies to everyone.

That said, 8 hours of real, intense, mentally challenging work per day probably is more than enough for most people.

The problem is that when talking about work in terms of time spent this often includes stuff that isn't really work at all but mindless busywork like writing emails, attending pointless meetings or idle water cooler talk.

This is particularly prevalent with those 'vaunted' 60+ hour weeks (also see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkinson%27s_law).

The point being: Your 40 hour work week might very well be equivalent to somebody else's 60 hour work week in terms of workload and mental energy required.

You seem to have already found a viable solution by working remotely and splitting your day in 2 halves. If that works for you you should try to optimise your work in a way that you can do this more frequently.

There are fully remote companies with employees across multiple timezones. So, this is definitely achievable. It just requires a little more effort than the default 9-5 kind of work organisation.

It should be in your employer's interest to ensure the long-term happiness and effectiveness of employees. So, why not talk with your employer about this and try to make the necessary changes in work organisation?

It is this reckless marketing. 'Bio defense system', are we meant to believe the Tesla's air conditioning will keep out vx gas?

By doing this they are in my opinion sabotaging the invoations they are actually making.
I hate how Tesla framed this as a statistics game.

It's like an amazing heart doctor one day suddenly stabbing his patient in the heart with a scalpel, killing him, and then saying... well, sometimes I malfunction, but by and large I cure patients 10x more often than my colleagues.

If you get into Tokyo University in Japan, as long as you don't flunk out and get kicked out before graduating, you're pretty much set for life, because unlike the U.S. or some European countries where there are multiple top grade schools, each famous for certain major, Tokyo University is the ABSOLUTE top in Japan (as in there is ONLY one absolute #1 school), and literally everyone sees you differently if you say you went to Tokyo University.

This is on a completely different level than say if you told your American neighbor you went to MIT. Basically, in the US if you're an engineer, you could go to Caltech, Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Carnegie Mellon, UIUC, etc. and all of them are considered top, so the "genius" factor is a bit spread out therefore the scarcity is not as high (relative to how Japanese people see Tokyo University) Tokyo University is absolute #1. Period. There are some exceptions but I think that's the biggest difference.

I agree with your general point, but you can't just join up 2 correlations like that, that isn't always going to work when there are other confounding factors (and there always are). Wealth also correlates with age which anticorrelates with reaction times and general fitness.
