RANT: The others just don't care? Lenovo, HP and Dell are catering the corporate market and build most of their models with the corporate bean counter in mind. You don't see stunning displays or fabulous track pads because those are hard to measure in numbers. If two laptops have the same measurable features, then the one with cheaper price tag is likely to win.
If there is a future where the technology sector rules everything, then the logical thing is that (almost) everyone is onboard on that sector. That sector will be huge and will have many segments and specializations.

In other words, people will need to adapt. The ones who take the risk to jump onboard before the ruling is (100%) a reality will have an advantage/lead.

There are low skilled technological jobs for the ones that can't study etc.

The world moves this way. If you don't adapt you're out.
Fines are usually multiple times more than the value they cheated which seems to be the case here( ~100M$ ) - so it is fair in some sense. Just because they are still profitable doesn’t mean the fine was unfair. There might be other divisions were people worked honestly, let’s not paint everybody with a broad brush or sound despondent.

Having a job is not the only source of purpose there is. Handing out money may not be an incentive to work harder, but it can let those people look for different ways of achieving satisfaction other than just getting high.

People with no money tend to think they need to use any money they get ASAP on fast rewards, only when they have enough money to save do they start thinking about saving any at all. Of course this will hardly work to get those already addicted to change their ways overnight, but some long term financial stability can change the worldview of new generations so they plan for their own future instead of living like they were to die tomorrow.
If you think giving money to the poor is why the original OC formulation did a lot of damage in that area, you are willfully or ignorantly discarding several critical elements to support your narrative.

Undertreatment of pain is now even worse thanks to prohibition tactics.

There is no perfect lock, nor is there a drug with abuse potential unabused by someone, be they rich and famous (Rush Limbaugh really struggled in that Rust belt mansion while his maid was treated like his personal drug mule) or dirt poor living on 400 bucks a month.

Some people are functioning addicts.

Probably people you interact with and trust.

Not every poor person is going to use a hundred dollars on drugs the minute they have it.

If you want poor people off drugs, decriminalization and the death of the War on Drugs comes first.

If you are going Thinkpads, the touchpad is a distant second to the Trackpoint.
In India WhatsApp, now, is not a gold standard of online communication but it is pretty much the only mode of communication largely. I don't about other places, but at least here - people are not going to Google new "Chat" or Hangout anytime soon. Even Facebook chat is slowly losing out to WhatsApp and I don't think Facebook minds it. In fact they saw it coming and bought the app for that record price.

The reason I jumped out of Google ecosystem is, as you have mentioned, they forced me into closed ecosystems and I remained there for sometime but then the tools offered to me in the form of app, UI, and interfaces were beyond pathetic so I was out. So were my friends, family, relatives, and other acquaintances.

Orkut > Buzz > Wave > Chat > etc they did it one after another and they are still doing it. I mean you would think they would learn at some point.

I've switched from a Dell XPS to a macbook and I'm totally unimpressed with the touchpad. It's a tad better, but very marginally, definitely not worth the downgrade in specs that I got for the same price

Don't forget that these 90 days are also 90 more days where this vulnerability can be exploited by attackers.

Microsoft has set up a patch delivery infrastructure that's pretty effective and comparably fast by industry standards, if not deactivated by the people who got offended by the forced Windows 10 upgrade and feature creep.
Disclosing unpatched vulnerabilities when the company is asking for an extension of a few weeks to patch is absolutely a dick more and extremely irresponsible.
> The world moves this way. If you don't adapt you're out.

while that's true, this statement hids an assumption that a priviledged person implicitly has that they might not even realize.

The really poor do not have an opportunity to adapt, because their existing, extenuating circumstances means they are fighting for mere survival in the short term, and cannot expend any energy/resources to adapt for the longer term.

Think education - anyone who's earning minimum wage will be hardpressed to adapt by re-educating. Without the help of a third-party (whether gov't or charity), they cannot but continue to just survive on their minimum wage, and then one day, get pushed out of even that job.
> First of all, Google has no responsibility to give any period of time.

Any security researcher has a responsibility to disclose a vulnerability in such a way that it does not cause widespread damage. I don't know why you would think otherwise.
I’ve paid for a Flickr Pro account for several years, it wasn’t a free-product to begin with.
The maintainer's response when I reported this bug was 'Just use "lzip -vvvv" to see the warning':

Their advocacy in this thread was so good that I removed lzip from my system.
On the one hand, I'm happy that Flickr will stay alive but on the other, I'm worried about what Smugmug will do to it regarding policy.

Smugmug's Acceptable Use Policy [0] is rather puritan, forbidding things that are "indecent", "lewd", "sexually suggestive" or anything else that "in the sole judgment of SmugMug, is objectionable, harmful".

Flickr's [1] on the other hand is rather accepting: "If you would hesitate to show your photos or videos to a child, your family, or a stranger on the street, that means you need to set the appropriate content filter setting."

I really hope Smugmug doesn't force their ideals on Flickr. It'd be nice if instead they used Flickr as an example of how to loosen content restrictions on Smugmug.

YOu are talking about a very large, complex, mission critical, and incredibly widely used piece of software.

If they mess up a patch it's a big deal. If they break systems, introduce further bugs, etc...

90 days to understand the problem, fix the bug, verify the fix, plan the release, get it out to customers. There is a lot of work involved in such a thing.
Difficult to say. I have interviewed lots of people over the years, and have noticed that many people in charge of the interviews barely read the CV in advance.

If you were already invited to an interview, a good interviewer should make most of his impression from you yourself and your answers, and less from the CV. From the applicants side, these days it is common for people to put lots of buzzwords... and when you ask many times you discover that they know not many more than the buzzword name.

So a good interviewer should make a lot from the interview and not from the CV. But then, a lot of other things come into play: Yours and his attitude that day, your 'chemistry', etc. Passing an interview is tough and it is recommended to go as much as you can, since practices makes perfect.
> First of all, Google has no responsibility to give any period of time. It isn't a "dick move".

The motivation of the project is supposedly to protect Google's users. Being firm on disclosure deadlines helps ensure that vendors take the issue seriously. Did they have any indication that Microsoft wasn't taking this seriously? If not, then it sounds like their true motivation is elsewhere.
Point per point you're saying what the rich of yesteryear said about their society.

The poor overthrowing the rich wasn't viable in 1913 either. Lenin himself said that it would be generations before a revolution could occur. And he was right. If not for WWI a socialist revolution would have been impossible.

The poor living better today than they ever had was something the Ancien Regime in France said before the French Revolution. They were right, until a bad string of harvests leading up to the revolution made the point moot.

And the poor being too much of a rabble to ever organize themselves is something that every ruling class has said since the dawn of recorded history. Yet bread and circuses did not help the Emperors, each of whom for 300 years died a violent death.

So the simple answer is: we're not special. What happened before will happen again, just bigger and worse because we have so much more capability than our ancestors. In 1400 sacking a town would mean a few thousand people raped, killed and sold into slavery, today it would mean millions vaporized and hundreds of millions exposed to radiation, toxic chemicals and biological agents.

How does this happen at wide spread scale? I understand that situations occur where birds could track in disease by landing in growing areas but it seems like a more substantial contamination to cause this many infections.
To people calling this a dick move by Google, I encourage you to look at the actual issue in Monorail. The reason given for not extending the deadline was that the issue is not particularly severe, and there are also similar bypass issues which are currently unpatched. If it isn't going to help protect customers, what's the point in granting an exception?

I'm curious about the variance as well.

I'd guess Seattle is quite a bit higher.
Put another way: For something installed on so many devices, 90 days seems like an incredibly long time to leave so many devices vulnerable.
Security fixes aren't a once and done thing. New exploits will be discovered that must be fixed. Missing deadlines for less severe exploits encourages getting better at sending security fixes out. Then, when more severe exploits are discovered, they can be patched in a reasonable amount of time. If extensions are always given, then deadlines become meaningless and "90 days" becomes "eh, 6 months given we can push for extensions."
Is there any thing you can think of which would not impact your need for impartial staff?

Because I think your comment is a "damned any way" viewpoint.

If they voted to not unionize, then it could still affect the teaching of subjects related to labor unions. Eg, "Why are a bunch of anti-union people teaching business courses? Aren't they just going to train the next generation of managers to hate unions?"

If they never considered unionization, then that too might be seen as a bias, either directly by the TAs/RAs, or a selection bias by Harvard in how they pick their TAs/RAs.
If you're interested in this issue, you might like the book Inventing the Future: Postcapitalism and a World Without Work. They talk about the rise and hegemony of neoliberalism- how it makes it seem capitalism is and always was the way societies should work. They also mention the proletariat. I'm reading the book now and don't have a good grasp on all its complex ideas but one big idea was that capitalism works by displacing peasants. At least peasants were self-sustainable. But in countries that are industrializing, you start taking away the land, and the means to be self-sustainable.
I'm very happy to see this type of thing getting more attention.
> It could be framed to laud them for employing so many who are poor

Oh yes, so good of Jeff to become the worlds richest man by exploiting some of the most vulnerable people in our society.
There are almost always unwritten rules; everywhere.

For example everyone says value "work life balance is balanced here and encouraged". But irrespective of whether they actually do it or not - if the two people output around the same ballpark but one is visible as more serious/responsible and seems more invested usually by virtue of more hours at work that becomes more "visible" than the "casual" 7-8 hr person with the same output.
I’ve read your entire comment and still think that the GP is an appropriate joke. You gave a good overview, in clear language, trying to be as concise as possible. The result us still quite long, in fact I guess it is long enough that most commenters won’t read it in full, just like a typical T&C document.

You are indeed wrong: https://www.economist.com/blogs/freeexchange/2013/09/economi...

It wasn't until 50 years after the end of the first industrial revolution that living standards increased, and continued to increase. There was a huge number of laws and public functions that were created during this period to deal with the problem of industrialization, from the creation of the first public police force in London, to the banning of child labour (down from the the 18 hours children used to work in 1820).

It's sobering that a peasant alive in 1400 had a higher standard of living than all his descendants until 1900 in Britain.
"Could an average programmer invent quicksort, dynamic programming or information theory if transported back to the mid 20th century?"

I think many could have yes, had they been in the same academic environment as the people who invented those things. It's amazing what normal people can acheive when they are isolated from the noise of modern corporate work environments and given the resources to focus on a problem.
Correct there is a lot of work to be done. It is not 90 days worth of work. If you think that is not enough time, you need to raise your standards.

I’m sorry to downvote you. I don’t wish to see jokes/shenanigans on HN. The reason I come to HN is for unique insights and serious conversation. Literally, the entire internet is filled with jokes - I wish HN remains this small jewel full of inspiring stories, news and content.

Your comment was pretty funny though!
Yes, I agree. That is a problem. But that is not a new problem.

That has nothing to do with technology.

In today's world and 100 years ago, there are lots of poor and miserable people. Wars, corruption, explotation. Africa, Asia, South America etc.

If you have a crappy life today because you live in Somalia, 50 years on you will still be fucked and not because of technology.

That is a higher level problem. A sociologial/political one. It is a very complex problem that has always been there.

I would even argue that technology and globalization gives this helpless people more opportinities.

This days, for a stupid example, you can have a youtube channel/whatever and given the free resources online you can produce content and have a chance at making some money that wasn't posible 15 years ago. The entry barrier is much lower.

E: The same goes for studing. 20/30 years ago, the best case scenario was studing a degree in a US university with a good status and all. If you couldn't, your best chance was getting a degree in whatever university was near you. If you still couldn't do that, you where out of luck.

Now? It's still better to go to MIT if you're lucky. But if you can't you have a chance of learning on your own with the internet. And people are doing that. It won't be the same, but is much better than nothing.

Of course, there are still people that can't do that because they don't even have electric network (see the recent news about the teacher in Africa using a blackboard to teach MSoffice for example). Again, that is a much deeper problem.
Yeah I'm stuck in Yahoo purgatory too. I have a Flickr account pointing at a valid email address, and an existing desktop and mobile session for that Flickr account. However, I can't actually create a new session by logging in because Yahoo wants to do its 2FA thing with a defunct email address. I can't add a valid email address to the Yahoo account because I need to create a new session to do this. The defunct address itself is no longer associated with the Flickr account and Yahoo/Verizon support has formally abandoned account support.

I am from a rural part of India and everybody has a Jio phone and everybody is on WhatsApp and Facebook. Most of them don't even know what is email and I don't know anyone who uses email or any other chat service other maybe Hike in rare cases. I was surprised since they already have Facebook and it would have required an email.

I often get disapproving looks when they realise I am not on Facebook :)
Up to a point. I had a look and an implementation of traverse is already getting pretty cumbersome, and something like recursion-schemes seems beyond what anyone's even attempted.

My thinking would be exactly the opposite - severe bugs have to be disclosed sooner while non-severe can be left lingering around.
Not everyone agrees with you. Some people promote full disclosure.

>Full disclosure is the policy of publishing information on vulnerabilities without restriction as early as possible, making the information accessible to the general public without restriction. In general, proponents of full disclosure believe that the benefits of freely available vulnerability research outweigh the risks, whereas opponents prefer to limit the distribution.

Yes. If you report a spectacular result, and it is not proven wrong within ~5 years, its effect on your career is almost the same as if the result had been correct. The unfortunate thing for these folks is that their claim was shot down quickly.
I am from the same place and what what_ever is trying to say, I think, is that in these places mobile number is pretty much the identity and username and emails are largely irrelevant for the majority and when I say that majority that's like overwhelming majority and they are coming online for the first and they really don't have time or any interest to learn about email and messaging protocols.

For example, we recently launched UPI payments - that's like a banking address sort of thing (you can send from it and request too) and you usually get your UPI address like this "9876543210@upi". The number part is simply the 10 digit mobile number and that's it.

What is there to acknowledge or discuss? Ancient BSD history doesn't seem particularly relevant to modern-day Linux, and not just in the context of BPF. E.g. no one refers to "sockets" as Berkeley Sockets any more. AFAIK, the networking code in the Linux kernel was written from scratch and there is no shared lineage with any BSD code.
