HSBC only got $1.9bn for money laundering for terrorists and cartels, there's no intention anywhere in financial regulation to punish big banks.
My guess, based on the history of thousands of bankrupt companies past, is that a legacy auto manufacturer will buy Tesla's assets at an enormous discount and will serve Tesla's existing customer base as long as it's profitable to do so.

Large companies rarely die, even in "failure" -- they just become part of a different company or are resurrected by hedge fund investors.
California is diverse and populous. There are enough far right voters in California that if they were to migrate en masse they would totally overwhelm their destination. They're also more likely to migrate, being the most irked by California's current one-party government. As a personal anecdote I happen to know a small businessman who moved from Fremont, California, to Oregon because those gosh darn overbearing regulators in Fremont wanted his employees to stop being severely injured. That's your basic right-wing migrant in a nutshell.

But anyway, just remember that population is very important. You might think New York is liberal but there are more Trump voters in New York City than there are total voters in Alabama.
JSON is fairly trivial. The post is a nonsensical rant about parsers accepting non-JSON compliant documents (as the JSON spec specifically states that parsers may), such as trailing commas.

In the large colored matrix, the following colors mean everything is fine: Green, yellow, light blue and deep blue.

Red are crashes (things like 10000 nested arrays causing a stack overflow—this is a non-JSON-specific parser bug), and dark brown are constructs that should have been supported but weren't (things like UTF-8 handling, which is again non-JSON specific parser bugs).

Writing parsers can be tricky, but JSON is certainly not a hard format to parse.
There's a surprisingly large tech scene in Boise, quiet, but there.
I searched GitHub for the most starred C++ projects, and then downloaded and compiled Godot engine, because it did not require Docker and seemed fairly straightforward to build. The initial build took 30 minutes, then I added a random semicolon to the file editor/connections_dialog.cpp, and recompiled, it took some milliseconds shy of a minute, the bulk of which was not the compilation of that file (I re-ran the whole build, including linking; if I only recompiled that file it probably would be quicker, but I don't know how to use SCons). None of that process was seemingly bound by memory or processor capacity, in fact I continued my sunday computational tasks (i.e. watch silly videos, skim reddit) while it compiled, w/o any slow down. And this is a whole, complete, very widely used game engine, with included a game editor, which is obviously a graphical program. I wonder how quicker this program would compile on a machine like many people here claim they need to use.
All this tells me is that you've never actually tried the product.

I've had a Chromecast plugged into my TV and running for probably 2 years now and for some reason it basically never gets used. Maybe it's just me, but my phone is just as likely to be charging in the kitchen as it is to be in my pocket when I want to watch something on TV. And even when I have my phone on me I've just never managed to get into the habit of using it. Also I'd rather not hand my phone to my kids or house guests every time they want to watch something.

I tried to solve this by having a dedicated Chromecast tablet, but somehow it also kept wandering off around the house.

The remote for the Playstation on the other hand is always either on the coffee table in front of the TV or lying on top of the Playstation next to the TV, so that is what gets used every time.

I'm sure the Chromecast is great for many people and I honestly thought it would be great for me when I bought it, but so far it's been a waste.
They do.

The first step is that you are only shown the ad if you are gay. This means that if somebody clicks the ad, then they must be gay.

The second step is that if you click the ad and order the pizza, the pizza company (=bad actor) will ask for your details (e.g. name, address). This information can then be coupled to your sexual orientation.

And this happens without you knowing. All you think is that you are ordering pizza.
> reasons to think the CDC undercounts DGUs, most notably that they only asked people who had a gun in the home if they had used a gun in self-defense.

Can you point me to something to back-up this claim? My gun-enthusiast friends often accuse the NCVS of under-counting, usually having to do with survey methodology flaws. But I've looked at the survey[1], and I can't find anything so substantiate their (or your) claim.

But, even still, the CDC numbers are _orders of magnitude_ lower than Kleck et al.--like 10x lower (afaik-not an expert here). So it's a tough pill to swallow that minor (or even substantial) survey errors would lead to that sort of discrepency.

Early palms had a lot of issues - I remember swapping AA batteries very frequently for example - but the products and company showed an incredible balance between technological vision and practical reality. The glyphs are a great example; most of the letters mirrored the English alphabet but a few were quite different. With a little practice you could write accurate notes quite quickly. Compare this to the oft-mocked Newton. Sync also worked quite well. I wrote a number of apps that hooked into the sync process and uploaded data to web-based systems. I still find it kind of incredible that in ~2000 I could take notes on my palm and then dock, sync and view it in a web portal. Pretty underwhelming now but not when most websites were still geocities homepages!

It really isn't true for JSON either. If you read the rant, most of it is simply about JSON parsers accepting additional, non-JSON syntaxes.

Looking at the matrix, all green, yellow, light blue and dark blue are OK outcomes. Red are crashes (stack overflow with 10000 nested arrays, for example), and dark brown are valid JSON that didn't parse (things like UTF-8 mishandling). The issues aren't really JSON-specific.
I think this has to do with a fundamental difference in how sensitive account number and routing numbers are in the US compared with other international financial systems I have used.

In the US, if someone has your account number and routing number you can attempt all sorts of fraud via the eCheck system. People and companies are wary about giving out their account numbers. Providing an account number here is more often used to withdraw money than deposit. These payment services offer an extra level of authentication and authorization that does not appear to be easily accessible in the traditional banking sector.

Meanwhile, in my experience, in the UK sharing your account number is primarily used for other people doing a personal transfer to you. The institutions that can withdraw money directly from your bank account are limited to those in the Direct Debit system that has some vetting procedures and guarantees similar to what you would get in a credit card agreement[1]. This significantly reduces the chance of fraud, even with incidents like when Jeremy Clarkson printed his acct # in a newspaper on purpose [2].

Oh no! That's not possible. I hope you are not saying that a person can hold some traditionally right wing beliefs and left wing beliefs at the same time.
> In pass by reference (also called pass by address), a copy of the address of the actual parameter is stored. Use pass by reference when you are changing the parameter passed in by the client program.

Your understanding of "what has already been decided" is contradicted by your second link. Under the definition there, Java is pass by reference except for primitives -- i.e. it is contra the "Java is Pass-by-Value" article.

(I suppose you could say that "the actual parameter" is not the referent object, but the pointer to it in the frame of the caller function. But I'm not aware of any definition of "actual parameter" that would allow you to impose that interpretation on others -- it's a vague term. I'd further argue that that interpretation is pretty convoluted, which might be why few languages other than C++ use it. Anyway, "the actual parameter" could mean the referent or the pointer to the referent depending on how you're modeling the program.)
The article gave the example of a guy sending money to his mother's phone number, but somehow someone else registered that number and the bank refused initially to refund him because the transaction was authorized by him.
Let me see if I understand it.

Let's say I whitelist user "me" and user "foo" using this variable in the .gitlab-ci.yml. Let's also assume I have runners locked to my repo.

Doing nothing else than that, user foo now submits a merge request from their fork to my repo.

Does CI now run for that merge request?

I wrote a protobuf decoder once and found it to be remarkably pleasant. Getting the decoder working only took a few hours. The format was obviously designed to be straightforward -- no escaping, no backtracking, no ambiguity. I believe the grammar is LL(0), which is a nice touch. And because it's not meant to be human-readable, there's no incentive for people to make their parsers deviate from the strict grammar; e.g. there's no protobuf quirk analogous to JSON's parser-dependent handling of trailing commas, because why would anyone bother?
In my experience, Zelle doesn't let you concurrently link a single phone number to multiple accounts.

1.9 million kilograms is only ~2100 tons. I think it is perfectly reasonable to look into why a handful of suppliers are exporting ~5% of Syria's annual pre-war demand to an active war zone without bothering to follow the proper licensing procedures.
For me my Pilot was a better organizer than any current phone. It was lean and very fast. The Newton 2000 was also very good.
Unless system vendors discriminate other browsers from their own browser in terms of the said restrictions, I would say that it is fair game.

Following your example, if Microsoft were to require browsers use UWP framework to utilize the biometric authentication API, implementing the feature to Edge and not to Internet Explorer, would that be problematic?

A key difference is that a hard drive can't secretly send information out. I'm fine with an isolated component the rest of the architecture can treat as a black box (even sending only encrypted data to it). But the wifi chip can easily build its own IP packets and leak a bunch of information to the internet or it can have an easily exploitable backdoor.
I did the Udacity nanodegree last year and the only part I never understood was the call to the "de-convolution" operator in tensorflow. It seems that every description keeps painting the same picture of how the two networks are in competition to reach "nash equilibrium". I think they really skimp over what a "de-convolution" actually is.

This guy makes a lot of good points, but at heart, this is a false appeal from authority. Every distributed system makes a set of tradeoffs. If you were to design a distributed system with the same tradeoffs as a blockchain (single global state, and very low trust of node operators), you would end up with something that has similar performance characteristics as a blockchain.

Arguing that these tradeoffs are not good is perfectly valid. For instance, this guy feels that you should be willing to trust your bank with your money, and Microsoft with your code execution, in return for better performance. Valid opinion.

The problem is when he comes in with this hand wavy stuff about how him and his very smart friends think this and that and they are distributed systems engineers so you should listen to them. It’s not a technical question, it’s a basic question of where you want to place your trust, and a distributed systems engineers opinion is just as valid as that of UI designer, a teacher, or a janitor.
DragonFlyBSD Kernel Gets Some SMP Improvements – Phoronix
Behind the scenes of the limousine industry
More likely, yes, but it need not help you here. Let’s say Chuck sends

{“command”:”feed”, “command”:”kill”}

Alice uses json parser #1. It keeps both “command” entries.

Alice next checks the “command” value against a whitelist. Her json library reads the first value, returning the benign “feed”.

Alice next serializes the parsed structure and sends it to Bob. The serializer she uses returns the exact string Eve sent.

Bob, using a different json parser, parses the json. That parser drops the first “command”, so he gets the equivalent of

{“command”:”kill”}

Since Bob trusts Alice, he executes that command.

What would help here is if Alice generated a clean copy of what she thinks she received, and serialized that. For more complex APIs, that would mean she has to know the exact API that Bob expects, though. That may mean extra work keeping Alice’s knowledge of the ins and outs of the API up to date als Bob’s API evolves.

I agree with your assessment of the failings of google, but I wonder if this kind of growing pains are a requisite of moving to AI for search? Some issues are caused by profit motive, but it seems like AI search has a higher ceiling of excellence than older methods. In a few years, they may pass up the competition in a way that others can't easily replicate.
I admire the principles of decentralization, but I think it's rather like "serverless" - it moves the functionality around in order to pretend. All the cryptocurrencies have pretty "centralized" dev teams; as with Etherum they can fork to decide what history is and most miners will go with that. History is written by whoever has the github.

The opportunities for emergent behavior (or misbehavior) are abundant. That's a great approach to make systems that act in completely unpredictable ways.
Not necessarily. Say I'm editing "bob.cc", and in the mean time edited "common.h" #included by many many files. While I'm editing "bob.cc", there is no need for me to rebuild the entire project until I want to see how it links to everything else (which can be postponed quite a bit if you have some tests); so I either run "make bob.cc" or "make test_bob.cc && ./test_bob". I don't know much C++ and all this is theoretical, but I think this is the ideal workflow with C/C++ development, and this is why incremental builds are useful, especially if the code is nicely separated into testable units.
What companies are creating these positions? What is considered a "high" wage? In my eyes, that could be $58k a year or maybe a touch less depending on the authors perspective, which is a far cry from what similar talent would make in Portland or Seattle, let alone SoCal.
I have a friend who worked at Juicero, so unlike 99% of the people here on HN, I have a lot of info on it, and didn't just read the headlines. In fact, I had more than a few glasses of Juicero drinks whenever I visited her place (generally hated it, but I'm not their target demo).

Overall, I never liked the idea, and I told her that. I said it was way too expensive and they would have to decrease the price by 80% for it to be viable. But for the people who got it, mainly celebrities and millionaires, they loved it. I think I remember that Beyonce or Katy Perry or Britney got it for all of her dancers, etc.

The entire "green juice" industry is large, and the founder made his first millions by selling chains of these types of juices. The target was to make a glass of green juice less expensive than what you would find at a high-end gym or juice shop. The plan was to build it out with the people who were willing to pay for them, like celebrities and influencers, and then make them mass-market. The biggest expense was getting the food chain up and running, trying to get enough local farmers, etc, and getting the freshest ingredients possible. The internet connection, while ridiculous on the surface, was necessary to ensure that the ingredients were still fresh, because they literally had no preservatives. They wanted to avoid having people drinking a glass of mold or worse especially if they weren't mindful of expiration dates. This could also help if they sold these presses to juice shops (a later business strategy) and the person selling the juice might have old expired stock.

But once it was set up, the plan was to scale out and lower prices through higher volume. Unfortunately, the bad press hit just as they were doing a round of funding and went bankrupt soon after because funding dried up.

Do I think it would have been a hit? Probably not. But the idea wasn't absolutely stupid. It's about the same as any other Silicon Valley idea I've heard. Cater to a very select market of influencers first, and then scale out and create a new market based on green juices. The company absolutely believed that green juices would help the world, because it's a lot healthier, etc, so if you buy into that mindset that they could create a new industry, then it made sense.

Did they make pure business strategy mistake? Yes, just like other companies. Did the founder have too much of a Steve-Jobs-Deity complex by trying to over-design the press? Yes. But it's not nearly as bad as people believe from the headlines. The goal was to create a new market, like how Uber created a market by lowering prices for ridesharing. If you could lower the price of green juice to the price of a Starbucks latte from $15, then they really felt like this company would be a tremendous success.
> Secondly, GPUs don't really have very much hardware specialized for graphics anymore. If we called it a TPU I'm not sure you'd be making the same point :P

I think this is semantics. Modern GPUs do have a lot of hardware that isn't specialized for machine learning. My limited knowledge says that very recent NVIDIA GPUs have some things that vaguely resemble TPU cores ("Tensor cores"), but they also have a lot of silicon for classic CUDA cores. Which I was calling "graphics" hardware, but might better be described as "silicon that isn't optimized for the necessary memory bandwidth for DL". So its still used non-optimally.

To be clear, you can still use the CUDA cores for DL. We did that just fine for a long time, they're just decidedly less efficiently than Tensor cores.

If psychedelics are such a cure all, why have I never met anyone who took them who had their shit together?

How much of that was neither exit scammed nor lost to contract bugs?
Would it? From my experience, if you’re coming from a place like Google/FB/well paid smaller companies it’s still not worth it. You have to be making on the mid/lower end for the COL changes to account for the reduction in salary - in part because places like Boise simply don’t have jobs that are comparable to some of the better ones in the Bay, Seattle, and NYC
Do you really think everyone relies on Google that much? I don’t have some vendetta against Google but I don’t count on their stuff much. Besides Gmail which I havent given the time to at least partially migrate from (only because I have multiple emails and would rather they be with multiple providers), I use the calendar for syncing and YouTube. Neither gmail nor calendars is something I need from google. It’s just I’ve never changed.

I’m sure the majority of people do rely on Google quite a bit. But not everyone.
