>I don’t know EXACTLY what it is on the mag stripe that tells the terminal to use EMV mode, if anyone knows I’d love to hear it.

Its in the "service code" field: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_stripe_card#Financial...

I think if the first digit is a '2' instead of a '1', that tells the reader to force a chip-only transaction. Or in other words, if you can write the mag data to a blank card, you can set that byte to what ever you want and have a field day. Unless there is some more validation at the bank level? Haven't tried personally.
Restrictions aren't really a security feature.
It just has the game engine itself, without any of the images, sounds, maps, etc that make it System Shock.

GOG has a System Shock: Enhanced Edition, which also includes the original version of the game. I have no idea if that version of the data would work with this version of the engine, though. The engine is for the PowerPC Classic Mac OS version of the game.
Yupe! It is super easy (like, 1 click deploy buttons) and lots of people in the community run one. Most people use them for their own project though, not necessarily as a collective network. Several people have said we should switch it to automatically connect to other peers, so that we can create a decentralized network, which I think is a good idea to try. I just originally didn't want to put random outbound network calls in the code because that seemed malware/"call home"/suspicious. :P
Libraries would be a-OK if they were the only abstractions available. You can group your stuff into a number of libraries and call it a day.

Unfortunately, Microsoft changed their mind and kinda-deprecated-but-not-completely-eliminated libraries in Windows 10. They also added a whole bunch of similar features that don't fully replace the functionality that libraries used to offer. Now there are at least four different places where the same content might be shown: Quick access, folders under This PC, folders in the actual drives (also under This PC), and Libraries (if you choose to display them). It's an unholy mess that needs registry hacks to clean up.
This isn't the Unix philosophy at work. This is embedding a DSL. Microsot Office has the same exact problems, does it not? No Unix philosophy there.

At a medium sized company, every single engineer received a hour’s worth of training on GDPR and teams were created to oversee implementation and compliance since 2016. GDPR definitely benefits big companies.
Combining unethical and necessary defeats the point of identifying some things as unethical: if you're going to do them anyways, why bother calling them wrong? The motivation behind bringing ethics into the workplace is that broader human interests are that engineers and other front-liners (operators, doctors, technicians, soldiers) should refuse to do things that are excessively bad. If you think they should just suck it up and get the job done, then don't bin the job you want them to do in with other things that they clearly shouldn't.

It needs to be considered acceptable to tell your boss no on ethical grounds.

To make this concrete, we want there to be one bin for "putting live viral payloads in to vaccines destined for a foreign country," and another bin for "annoying shoppers with eye-level advertisements," and maybe another bin for "improving the efficiency of infrastructure." Ideally, irrespective of where the profit motives lied it would be impossible to recruit anybody for sufficiently nefarious purposes, with the recruitment difficulty scaling with how much harm they knew they were going to do to the world.
geez, towards the end that starts reading like my bottle of Dr Bronner's Soap
and then the new Prey from last year. It's name really confused its issue, but it's very much in the same theme, if not world.
It seems you are correct. I /do/ remember something a /long/ time ago having this issue, but even some quick searching reveals that MSDN documents fopen existing back in 2008, and the notes supporting UNCs. I wonder how the underlying support is handled.
> Subtracting your own velocity from what?

You said the camera/radar would be reading another car as "stationary", which is a velocity number of zero. Add/subtract your speed and you get the real speed.

A non-defective sensor suite is going to give you either distance or velocity, and you can use distance measurements to calculate velocity really easily.

> A radar return from a rear bumper at relative zero miles an hour is exactly the same whether the car is actually in motion or not.

Doppler effect.

> "stationary" is always relative to something

Once you have a velocity number, no matter what it's relative to, it's trivial to convert it to any reference frame you want.

> I feel like we're just going in circles here. I could keep giving you examples of cases where sensors will report conflicting information

That's because such things are irrelevant to my argument. I'm only talking about how algorithms should handle objects that have already been found.

> I'll stop here and stand by my original point - sensor limitations and immature algorithms are the reason for issues like the ones Autopilot has; completely preventing these issues is not straight forward.

I fundamentally disagree that the navigation algorithms are difficult here. Sensor issues are huge, but your original scenario was based on the sensors working and navigation failing. That specific kind of navigation failure is utterly inexcusable. It is actually easy to force a car to either slow down or turn to avoid a known obstacle. That specific part should never ever ever fail. It doesn't matter how hard other parts are.
This company uses some incredibly scummy dark UX patterns.

On a classic non-electric typewriter the carriage was returned by pushing a lever on the right side of the carriage. The lever could be pressed to the left relative to the carriage which would move the paper up. At the end of travel relative to the carriage if you kept pushing it would move the carriage back to the left. Hence CR and LF could be accomplished in one motion. If you wanted to advance the paper many lines, you'd push the lever multiple times - probably with the carriage all the way to the left the whole time.

On another note, I find it incredibly weird describing an "everyday" item like a typewriter because many people on HN may have never used one!
Shameless plug: Try Rancher 2.0 (beta announced today and GA coming in a month). With Rancher we enable all the security stuff by default but try to actually make it usable (which is quite hard). So RBAC, PSPs, network policy is all on by default. We give you quite a bit of tools to manage RBAC and PSP.

If you are managing you're own cluster you really need a guide like this. It's very easy to create a very insecure cluster. People are actively targeting poorly configured k8s clusters too. It doesn't take to long before you start mining Bitcoin :)
Well yes, but macOs was also much less buggy and much more stable a few years ago than now. I miss the days of Snow Leopard which was rock stable.

But until they bring back that stability, macOs won't be sufficient an argument to bring back pros I think
I don’t think the colleges care where their students end up when they’re done with them.

That particular one is very bad, I've gone at 2PM from the work office to that Costco and left because I didn't want to sit and wait for a parking space. This was not the case ten years ago for the exact same store. The one closer to my home in Mountain View is OK for at least an hour after opening, haven't been at other times. I've been to one in San Diego where a friend lives and they parked half a mile away.
Why something failed matters. Was it a bad idea, or a good idea that was too far ahead of its time (and thus, a 'bad' idea in its time, but only pragmatically)?

If that is so, how they are benevolent in the first place, or "wanting to do good" as you say?

>Wonder if you realize Amazon just rolled out exactly that for Whole Foods. Free 2-hour delivery for Prime members -- via Prime Now, not Amazon Fresh. Just launched in SF like a couple weeks ago. And it's a $35 minimum.

It's worth noting that Instacart has been doing this for years now, and has massive amounts of operational experience in this area which Amazon lacks. They also have lower or no minimums and a greater selection.
What about giving them something like pico-8? https://www.lexaloffle.com/pico-8.php
"way less substitutions" we had three no-ask substitutions on our very last order and arugula that spoiled in two days time. Canceled our trial. Instacart, at least in NYC, is a mess IMO.
Yes, K. L. Chung's book is also competitive.
I believe the translation of "renewed interest from some publishing partners" is "they'll give us money, probably".
Well, their build instructions are for PPC MacOS 9 (and the game has a bunch of PowerPC assembly code in it). One of their stated requirements is also "The original Mac System Shock data", so it's not clear to me if your CD-ROM would've helped or not.
What exactly is Data Science? It seems like such an overused term and the value of the subject really gets diluted for me when I see charts in Tableau being offered as examples of "data science".

What's the difference between, say, a Master's program in Computer Science where one studies machine learning and a Master's program in Data Science? Am I wrong for thinking the Data Science program weaker?
Have you seen "Collaborative Creation of Communal Hierarchical Taxonomies in Social Tagging Systems" ? It is very relevant and if tags could be accurately machine generated we could derive organizational hierarchies from just tags.
I think the new Mac Pro will be modeled after a stack of Mac Minis. Imagine being able to add processors just by stacking them up. Need more storage? Add a SAN module! Need a better GPU? Grab an NVIDA module! Hook them up with USB-C and Thunderbolt 3 and you're good to go.
Oh man, that would take a book. If I had to severely boil it down: You can have a beautiful unifying idea that seems to make total sense in the abstract, but then bog down completely when you have to make real implementation decisions in the context of a massive existing platform with a several-thousand-person development team. At some point a system's assumptions become so established that there are certain aspects that are literally impossible to change. Good intentions, even with the full support of the highest levels of management, can't resolve all the tangles.
Hahaha, I actually do run production Kubernetes clusters at work on CentOS 6 so I noticed that too. I suspect they're just posting a general Linux security guide rather than specifically targeting RHEL6 because running Kubernetes on CentOS 6 is really an uphill battle and I can't imagine that many other people embark on that journey.

It's entertaining that you singled out systemd as the thing that makes it difficult to run Kubernetes on CentOS 6, the init system is by far the easiest part haha. In a standard Kubernetes deployment, the only daemons you really need to have running are dockerd and kubelet, you could feasibly run it without an init system at all, especially now with cri-o. What makes you consider systemd to be important on kubernetes nodes? (FYI: I actually really like systemd, so this isn't a jab at it, I'm just curious)

For a taste of the battle:

- It ships with Kernel 2.6 which is pretty unacceptable in the container world:

-- Supports only a subset of modern namespaces and cgroup controllers

-- Has terrible bugs like containers getting OOM-killed due to the kernel not flushing buffers/cache to disk when the cgroup is running out of memory.

-- It doesn't have overlay2 support and aufs dropped support in 2012.

-- We've been running custom kernels since long before we adopted Kubernetes, so this wasn't a hurdle for us. We currently run a mainline kernel 4.9 with many patches. That said, there are yum repos out there for modern kernels.

- Docker stopped supporting CentOS 6 long ago at version 1.7. That said, they didn't kill off the CentOS 6 build support until the beginning of the moby split in 1.13 so if you were running a custom kernel and an updated iptables beyond 1.4, everything worked. We run 17.06 now, which was much more painful to get building.

- Need to build and upgrade util-linux, e2fsprogs, iproute2, libseccomp, and probably a few others.

So once you've done all that, an init script is the least of your problems lol. CentOS 6 also ships both sysvinit and upstart, so you could write an upstart config instead and get similar enough behavior to systemd.
> slavery built everything we love

Not at all. The repudiation of slavery built everything we love. The Confederacy went to war with the Union to protect its failing economy. Their loss in the Civil War resulted in the utter destruction of the slave economy and what it produced.

Aside from my other comment, I think that any discussion about the scientific paper and the way knowledge is communicated is incomplete without a mention of Nick Sousanis' Unflattening. It is a thesis for a Doctor of Education degree about this very topic, that practises what it preaches by being written as a comic book.

I must re-iterate my opinion here because of flagging abuse. In the article, mbs's consolidation of power is criticised. This is naive and incorrect. Mbs is in fact a positive force for progress and reform. Detracting him only serves to aid the people of sa and the religious bodies of sa all of whom wish to remain cemented within the traditional and brutal interpretations of the Koran that MIT seems to dislike so much. The rebels and Iran are just as responsible for the innocent deaths as sa and us are. This is difficult to explain in such short form but it is true and if you disagree then you can tell me why instead of flagging my comment. This way I can promptly respond to you and our disagreement can be settled. It's very important for non-mainstream narratives to be heard, especially when they are correct as in this case.
Yeah that jumped out at me too.

It really depend on your reasons for retaining the backups in the first place.

GDPR forces you to be able to articulate why you collect or process regulated personal data.

If you provide a service that collects or processes data for fair and transparent purposes, you'll be ok.

Under Article 17, the right of erasure, you're only obligated to delete upon request of the data subject, and only in certain circumstances, the most common being:

- If the data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected

- If the legal basis for the processing was based solely on consent and no other legal basis exists

- If the processing was based on the balancing test of your "legitimate interests" outweighing the data subject's interests or fundamental rights and freedoms (such as for security or availability), the data subject objects, and your interests don't override theirs

- If you are processing for direct marketing and the data subjects at all

If you're a SaaS provider and they are necessary to meet your availability commitments to your customers, and you can document that necessity, then you're probably going to be able to retain them even if the data subject objects. Data subjects rights are not absolute.

If you're retaining the data for marketing, or based on consent alone, you're going to have to delete them or have a very good excuse for not doing so. If you don't have a great reason, you should probably delete them anyways, or better yet avoid collecting the data in the first place ('data minimization,' Article 5(1)(c)).
One upside is such environments help nurture future technologies as they will happily pay millions for something just a bit faster than what they already have and more so before others have it. Hence it is avenues of business like this that have help feed certain industries over the years, from networking to FPGA's. Another avenue of financing technology which we all know is the military.

As for the whole stock market being driven faster and faster in precision from seconds to nanoseconds and picoseconds, I've always questioned the need to drive towards a faster processing and if the stock market only updated once every minute, it would sure help in curtailing many ineeded aspects that are creeping into stock trading.
This contains a common logical error in most of the poor-people-suffer-to-serve-us-rich-people arguments. That is to ignore anyone whose suffering has no causal link from us. For example, an isolated tribesman may die from an easily treatable disease because he has no medicine and we don't blame rich people for that. But if he moves to town to earn money for medicine and then dies in a construction site accident, we blame ourselves for causing the construction site to exist. We forget that he may have been in greater danger or suffering more before getting involved with us.

It applies to low wages for illegal immigrants too. Once they're in our country, we feel responsible for them. Before they got here, we don't care at all how little they earn. Some people even go so far as to want to kick them out to save them from earning low wages. Really it just saves us the guilt but makes it worse for the individual.
I think maybe a reasonable choice would be to give the ai the ability to store some limited amount of information, let's say 4kb, and it gets to populate this on a first run and draw from it on a second run. Second run scores are compared.
I don't perceive anything we've said here as particularly political? (Other than the obvious: arguments for and against anarchism, which is a political concept but doesn't field any candidates.) But since you raise the issue...

One wouldn't expect anyone from Finland, Switzerland, etc. to complain too much about the government. For the time being, these nations have "good" governments. Voters have some effect on national policies, police aren't slaughtering innocents with impunity at home, military isn't doing the same in numerous locations abroad. Please have some sympathy for the majority of humanity! You'll turn into us before we turn into you, if for no other reason than by a reversion to the mean. After all we export our delusions. Some people have seen enough American news to believe that it's an advantage to be on our "side" in an armed conflict.

I have really enjoyed the TV series "Okkupert", and I do sympathize with any nation that borders a schizophrenic totalizing militarist kleptocracy, because the in the long term there will be violence. That's why I sympathize with Mexico.
I am with you! I was on there for 7. I think how they chose to shut down the site - is very unethical.
> Recode has learned from industry sources

First, it's unconfirmed. What exactly does "industry sources" mean? That someone who knows someone who works there said "oh ya we make a billion dollars dude".

Second, it could also mean "gross revenue" in some form.

I don't believe any of this stuff until someone reputable confirms some level of it. Doesn't it seem strange that they made "exactly $1b"? Not $750M, or $1.2B, or $500M, but $1B?

I think the jury is still out.
Update: I didn’t realize Instacart has already rolled this out. I think it’s genius, and a strategy where not being Amazon is a big advantage b/c Amazon is trying to replace the businesses Instacart is signing up as partners.
I've been using a $30 bidet for a couple years now with not a hint of trouble.

The bidet does not really change that process meaningfully.

They’re not, but if someone does use the same passcode, it could open up a vulnerability.

That said, using the same passcode would defeat the purpose for what I believe is the primary use case (I want to loan you my device, so I have to give you the unlock passcode, but I don’t want to give you unfettered access). So I really think having the passcodes match is an edge case. I can see it happening in other use cases, though (e.g. kiosks).

you can layer compose configs and put the sync stuff in its own file: `docker-compose up -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose-sync.yml`
I guess this is more for testing a built application, by actual users, which is not easily automated using a test suite. Totally acceptable in my opinion.

What a ludicrous statement. Name a single community college program that touches on even a small portion of something like www.freecodecamp.com
I respectfully disagree. Consider a thought experiment: You have two groups of people. Group A is ethical (per your definition), well intentioned and smart. Group B is cruel, authoritarian and egotistical. Group A doesn't like to think about war, and certainly doesn't want to contribute to the machinery of war. Group B, on the other hand, delights in it. Group B loves building weapons and thinking about military strategy. Very quickly in this civilization, Group B will come to dominate Group A, and they will build a world in their own image - cruel and inhuman. Given that we know this is the outcome, in what sense is Group A's choice really ethical?

The question you have to ask is: If it's not you who has the best weapons, who is it? If it's not you devising military strategy, who is? The answer is someone else. Probably someone who likes those things more than you. Is that the sort of person you want to have that kind of power?
