How is it moral for Amazon to shirk their fiduciary duty to shareholders for the sake of a political battle it isn't theirs to wage?

I counter it would be more immoral to put, say, the retirement funds of firefighters and teachers arty risk to achieve what is the responsibility of, say, the State Department?
> Access memory sequentially

Except memory is virtual. Memory location 0x1000 might be forward, or backwards compared to 0xFFF, depending on the state of the Translation-lookaside buffer (TLB).

Ever notice how (when ASLR is disabled), programs all start at the same location?? (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14795164/why-do-linux-pr...)

Hint: Virtual address 0x0804800 doesn't belong at physical address 0x0804800. The OS can put that memory anywhere, and the CPU will "translate" the memory during runtime.

This means that in an obscure case, going forward a linked list (ie: node = node->next) may involve FIVE memory lookups on x86-64

* Page Map Lookup

* Page Directory Pointer lookup

* Page Directory lookup

* Page Table lookup

* Finally, the physical location of "node->next".

An even more obscure case (looking at maybe address 0xFFFC, unaligned) may require two lookups, for a total of 10-memory lookups (the page-directory walk for page 0xFFFC, and then the page-directory walk for 0x1000).

There is a LOT of hardware involved in just a simple "node = node->next" in a linked list. Its not even CPU-dependent. Its OS configurable too. x86 supports 4kb pages (typical in Linux / Windows), 2MB Large Pages and 1GB Huge Pages.
> I've no data but my nerd friends are doing this a lot, and sometimes what you see in the nerd-sphere in a few years happens in the normal market

"Nerds" are the group most adept at switching back and forth so your anecdote really isn't useful in the slightest. And the numbers really don't show a systemic move back to Android.

Also this group may be trend-setters because it does happen sometimes. But far more often it doesn't. Otherwise we would've seen everyone cancel Facebook, use Bitcoin for all payments and vote for Bernie Sanders.

> They are struggling at competing in the space of the biggest ecosystems around phones. Cloud, computational photography, assistant.

iMessages is a killer platform that only exists on iOS. iCloud simply just works for most people storing photos and backing up their devices. Portrait Mode has been a key marketing differentiator in the photography space. And whilst Siri isn't as good as Alexa/Google Assistant in some areas it is better in others.
How secure is blockchain really?
What phone / app do you use? I've wanted this feature since forever. I just tried installing a few high rated android apps on my new android phone and so far nothing records my counterparts side of the conversation.
Other changes that I had been working on weren't going to be merged upstream (already rejected), and though I wasn't going to make any attempts to prevent SSL/TLS from being merge-able (I was actually starting from 4.0.9 for ease of current users, and had moved between 4.0.9 and unstable a couple different times), my code was derived from MIT code, and I can't really re-license someone else's code.

This fork announcement was a, "Hey, you can probably use this stuff, but it might not be usable for everyone now. In the future, it might be a materially better solution for some of your problems (transactions). I'd appreciate some sort of vote of confidence if you all think it's cool, or even an 'eff off' if I've somehow pissed in your coffee."

With the SSL work in PR #4855, some of the announcement has no real use now, and I've redirected my own efforts in its wake.
As you say, the boundaries are fuzzy. The more data (especially sensitive data) that you collect and process, the tighter you need to make your boundaries.

Most of the advice I've received is to focus on documenting what data you hold, and what you're doing with it. Just by doing that, you'll probably improve your processes. If you did have any problems with the ICO, those documents will go a long way to showing that you took GDPR seriously.
Thanks for that.

> The other side of the machine probably has another USB controller, which likely explains why it's fine.

Unfortunately (well, except in this case) that's true. On the 13inch MacBooks, the ports on the right side have less bandwidth and can struggle with multiple 4k displays
I agree about the lack of ethics, but that's something to be screened by future employers or school admissions.

I don't disagree with schools having penalties for cheating. But on the moral severity scale, it's really an infraction rather than a felony. Would you call jaywalkers bad people?

If you want to see why I have such a disdain for academia, here's my story:

Tesla blatantly duped thousands of people into buying their Beta/still some Vaporware Enhanced Autopilot features years before it was publicly safe on the road. Anyone who got an AP2 in Q3'16 and Q1'17 knows this. There needs to be another lawsuit for those who paid for their self-driving vaporware.
I took away two important messages:

1. Amazon is paying more attention to the TLS handshake than I thought.

2. Censorship-bypassing software is getting popular enough that it's hitting the news.
Because this spoofing only prevents the ISP / government censors from seeing the correct destination. I would argue that the ISP and the government censors have no legitimate right to that information in the first place, especially if they use it for oppression.
What if we just sell TLDs directly to consumers?
Why Canada Becomes Country of Blockchain and Cryptographic Currency
"Unfortunately, a TLS handshake fully exposes the target hostname in plaintext, since the hostname is included in the SNI header in the clear. This remains the case even in TLS 1.3, and it gives a censor all they need."

Does this mean that endpoints that require SNI are potentially contributing to censorship?

Facts: SNI is optional. Not all websites require it. For example, https://signal.org does not require SNI; clients that do not send SNI can be used to fetch this blog post, without exposing the hostname.
yes, any company willing to pay the application fee of $185k and able to pass a review as "capable" of operating a TLD can register a TLD. ICANN is in charge of it.

> For the record, U.S. politicians have voted on sanctions on Russia

Indeed, the US nearly destroyed Russia's largest aluminum company - Rusal - recently in a sanctions move against an oligarch close to Putin (Oleg Deripaska, who owns the majority of Rusal).

The best way to deal with oppressive regimes, is generally to go through powerful political bodies/groups, whether the UN, G7, or US Congress. The impact a company like Amazon (or Google, Facebook, etc) can make is very trivial. So trivial as to be meaningless to a typical oppressive regime. Congress, in tandem with large allies, can hammer eg Russia's primitive industrial economy, by comparison, with targeted sanctions on steel, aluminum, whatever.

Lookup "Hollywood accounting" to see how well that will go.

For example, from the Wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood_accounting): According to Lucasfilm, Return of the Jedi, despite having earned $475 million at the box office against a budget of $32.5 million, "has never gone into profit"

Disney could renew the copyright on "Return of the Jedi" for pennies on the dollar.

Tell HN: GitHub Please Reset Your Password
Just received via email

———————-

Hi there,

During the course of regular auditing, GitHub discovered that a recently introduced bug exposed a small number of users’ passwords to our internal logging system, including yours. We have corrected this, but you'll need to reset your password to regain access to your account.

GitHub stores user passwords with secure cryptographic hashes (bcrypt). However, this recently introduced bug resulted in our secure internal logs recording plaintext user passwords when users initiated a password reset. Rest assured, these passwords were not accessible to the public or other GitHub users at any time. Additionally, they were not accessible to the majority of GitHub staff and we have determined that it is very unlikely that any GitHub staff accessed these logs. GitHub does not intentionally store passwords in plaintext format. Instead, we use modern cryptographic methods to ensure passwords are stored securely in production. To note, GitHub has not been hacked or compromised in any way.

You can regain access to your account by resetting your password using the link below::

https://github.com/password_reset

If you have any lingering questions or concerns about this, don't hesitate to let us know. You can reach us by emailing support@github.com or by using our contact form:

Thanks,

GitHub Support

SLAC Computer Science Research Dept. | Software Engineer | Menlo Park, CA | Full-time, Relocation Available

As part of a collaboration between the Computer Science Research Dept. at SLAC and the LCLS-II project, we're looking for a full-time engineer to help us build a high-performance monitoring system that will be used every single day once the machine comes up. This is a mission-critical system. The monitoring system will ingest between 100s of GB/s to 1 TB/s of data and be responsible for rendering it to the user in a way that will enable the science users to drive their experiments. Performance is obviously a goal here, but so are maintainability and extensibility. Building a system with low technical debt is a must for this project.

That project will be about 50% of your time; the other 50% will be more flexible and may involve engineering work on the next-generation runtime system Legion, which is a major project within our group. (http://legion.stanford.edu/)

Everything we do is open source.

We expect the monitoring system to be built primarily in Python and C++ on Linux using some combination of UI technologies (Qt), fault-tolerant storage technologies (Redis), high-performance compute (MPI or Legion), and high-performance networking (to interface with the data acquisition system).

For more information about the department, see:

https://www6.slac.stanford.edu/news/2016-05-26-slac%E2%80%99...

For more information on LCLS-II, see:

https://portal.slac.stanford.edu/sites/lcls_public/lcls_ii/P...

We're working to put the official job ad out now. Please contact eslaught@slac.stanford.edu if you are interested (subject line "AMI Project") and I will forward the link when it is ready.
Also with the number of fake profiles and lying that goes on these services it's worth checking just to make sure they're a real person. Otherwise you ask some more questions or just act cautiously until you know they're a normal person. (e.g. Not a con-artist or scammer. etc.)
Yes, for sure. I'm just curious why Uber/Lyft haven't been sued already for their New Jersey operations.
> sunk cost

I'm not sure what you mean by that. Could you flesh it out? To me a "sunk cost" is something you've already paid for and can't get back - like your investment in that boat that sunk to the bottom of the ocean. Hiring is about future costs, not past ones.
china did this and it just caused every major service to be recreated for chinese users on their side of the internet
One of the big problems with predicting what can be MIMDed is that almost all the languages we use except for Haskell allow for dependency on who knows what. With out very strict refusal of state it's hard as fuck to figure out what is independent of what at compile time.

Not that it can't be done so much as getting programmers to accept it is can't be done.

Sure, it replaces some things, but not what is imho important for shaving off depression and anxiety and probably a lot more than I know.

When people physically hang out, be it at meetups, or something similar, there is a sort of physical activity and energy that reduces (or even removes) depression for days at a time in many people. (I think the trick is to socialize in a non-judgemental atmosphere.)

I'm probably biased as I regularly went to meetups and traveled, but I've worked remote, and I did not have any problems with it on the loneliness front. If anything, it helped reduce my anxiety and depression because I was experiencing less shallow faceless conversations, and instead my social interactions were me being me talking about my day or geeking out about something. When you come to expect social to be that positive experience, instead of a chore, anxiety goes down, and from that depression can too.
Both pricing mechanisms are great at:

(a) transferring wealth from the secondary market to registrars, and

(b) guaranteeing that desirable domain names get allocated purely on economic value terms, thus effectively shutting out non-profit-oriented enterprises from the best domain names. If someone with some quirky desire to name a domain name after their cat would like to grab the domain name and refuse to sell, this pricing scheme guarantees that such sentimental value counts for zero in the "efficient allocation" measure.

Both of these seem pretty shitty to me.
Speaking of Bigscreen...it was released for mobile today :-D

"And in what sense did this retroactive copyright extension serve to promote the progress of science and useful arts? "

Well it brought money to disney and they did produce art (...at least sometimes, the last Star Wars was not soo bad)

The Go and the Rift are targeting pretty different experiences. The Go can only track rotation while the Rift can track position changes as well. This opens up many different actions (e.g. crouching down to pick up a can the road) which boost immersion. If you get a chance to demo a Rift or an HTC Vive, I would highly recommend it.
Why does everything have to suck?
The blame is with Amazon. They decided to help censorship.
Same! It's a far superior piece of hardware. The prices they charge for dongles on top of the already-high price of the laptop are insane.
As far as I understood what I do about C, is that most of C's here called "quirks" have actually been enablers for much of the portability and performance of modern platforms. Therefore I don't like "undefined behavior" and the like being criticised for being such a "hindrance". I hence doubt the author's familiarity with C is much beyond the basics, which kind of makes the case for why the author also had to namedrop Spectre and Meltdown, which were caused by the fact that later optimizations were unsound, ie. the Tomasulo algorithm.

The problematic with the article somewhat remind me of the problems with LCTHW, and that the author of LCTHW was unable to figure out what the deal was about had been admitted by themselves. https://zedshaw.com/2015/01/04/admitting-defeat-on-kr-in-lct...

You're right, actually. He hasn't proved trustworthy, but that's because he leaked confidential company materials.
