> You can't just make money by trying really hard to be rich, unless, of course, your business model is funneling cash off of suckers with a predatory get-rich-quick scheme.

More wealthy people make their money this way than you might realize. Rare indeed is the person who became wealthy by actually creating something of value. Much more common is the person who cheated someone (or many someones) out of something. Making money is easy. Doing something decent is hard.

So Twitter found out they had a bug that caused them to store passwords in one of their databases in plaintext. Their response is just a generic 'hey maybe you want to store your password'.

Compare that to Github who just yesterday went through the exact same problem, except they're requiring users change their password. Their CTO didn't make some 'hey you should THANK US" claim.

Does this all hinge on EPID? So will cloud workloads have to phone home to Intel for assertions to be satisfied?

My question is built on the presumption that SGX is the only real TEE available right now.

Also, how is Google dealing with PRM/EPC memory limitations of SGX?
Investing in the stock market is equivalent to buying bitcoin?
Well, first of all it's a puzzle so it's useful as something fun to think about. Math is kinda like science though, you never know exactly how or if a particular discovery will be useful. In this case maybe you could find some graph traversal scenario where this would be applicable. In the Wikipedia article under variants they mention

> If the number of team members and the fraction of boxes which are opened is fixed, the winning probability stays strictly larger than zero when more empty boxes are added

Replace boxes with nodes and now you have some math to determine graph traversals. Maybe a bit more math and you can expand it for multiple paths. I don't know though, I'm not a mathematician and I don't normally have to do more than DFS and BFS in coding interviews, but sure I can see some way that this might be useful.
Oh, I was going off this thread being about Bitcoin. Ethereum is probably a better example, sure.

If your constraint is "I want a transfer of money based entirely on the output of this algorithm on this data," then a blockchain platform is probably the right approach, sure. But I think you only need that for an internet gambling site... if you're trying to restore trust in a physical casino, the wagered money is right there on the table, it's clear who should get it. (The other participant trying to physically attack you to get money they don't deserve is out of the threat model, I think.)

FunFair looks cool but I think it mostly follows this design: the actual game is off-chain and it's only settlement that happens in Ethereum itself, if I'm reading right. You're doing a commitment scheme on your shared RNG, you're just also adding in a smart contract that can verify the game (or a partial game, hopefully) and determine who should get what money. If all players trusted a third party to escrow the funds (where the third party could be an API or a table with a pile of money), then you could do the game with no blockchain at all.
Not necessarily, the drive produces heat but something around it (other drives, cpu's) may be producing a lot more heat than the drive raising the temperature of the drive casing beyond where it would be if it were just the drive in isolation.

Case design for lots of drives + a beefy CPU is very tricky if you want to really balance the airflow so that there are no large local variations in temperature.

It's literally on the YC application form.

"He said to ask about a time when they'd hacked something to their advantage—hacked in the sense of beating the system, not breaking into computers. It has become one of the questions we pay most attention to when judging applications."

The part about "make tons of money" isn't there, but I don't think anyone disagrees with that part -- YC recently launched a separate branch to handle nonprofit ventures.

I'm skeptical whether it is really worth it to trust yet another party that can potentially be bribed by intelligence agencies and what not; or even hacked. No. I sit down once a year and think of CorrectHorseBatteryStaple-like passwords [1] for each important service, where each password is a relatively complex function (involving deletions, insertions, swaps, associations, numbers and special characters) of details of my life, the current year, the service in question and the username. That way I have a unique password for each service and I can easily reconstruct it based on that sort of easily recallable information.

well, I do invest in ETFs and also pick the stocks I believe in and invest for long term.

Since I average it out over several years by investing fixed amount every 15 days, it worked out pretty well for me. (esp. investments in BTC, ETH worked out great :-) ). But I agree I might lose in few of these (or most) I pick and I am okay with that.
Yep, glad I read this thread. We were making the same simple mistake.
So I just bought a house (condo actually) in Oakland and I have to agree.

There's a huge class of people who aren't particularly impressive, hard-working, or otherwise "deserving" in my admittedly-morally-loaded-sense of the term, who happened to buy a ton of real estate over the last 30 years, and are now earning eye-popping rates of return (20%+/year on millions of invested capital) owing to the combination of increased desire to live in city centers, and prop 13.

It's really shocking. If you look at most small towns in America, the wealthy people tend to be small business owners, successful professionals, and perhaps a few landowners. Here in the SFBA, the serious peninsula wealth is all tech (early employees and execs) and everywhere else it's landowners by a mile. Here in Oakland, restaurants are closing practically every day because this rentier class is bleeding them dry of any profit. Both directly through rents, and indirectly by the wages employees are demanding to live in an area where prevailing rents are 2-3k/month.

I wouldn't even be mad about this except that they're using bad government policy to line their pockets, and they're just shameless about it. It boils my blood. These people are just leeching off of the huge south bay productivity engines (Google, facebook, Apple, etc) and taking a pound of flesh by restricting supply of a necessary good. Their entire livelihood rests with the stubbornness of execs at the big tech companies to stay here and put up with it. These companies end up paying exorbitant salaries just so that this rentier class can line their pockets with what would otherwise be shareholder profit or personal income of employees.

For some. In my experience since leaving my earning nearly doubled and my cost of living took a nose dive. Plus other benefits.
Not when it comes to human behavior it's not. The simplistic view tends to assume everyone is a perfectly rational actor, and that there aren't other forces at play.
Yeah that's the obvious point, but any written signature can be similarly tampered with. Which is why the notaries etc get involved for major transactions.

Furthermore, it doesn't rise to being an ethical problem unless fraud actually occurs. And I'd be more concerned about the possibility of signatures being straightforwardly forged by a researcher ("here, let me help you write your name") regardless of a pen being used.

Care to elucidate? My understanding it that only seems to be true if you exclusively argue from the examples of historical 20th-century regimes that labeled themselves "communist," but that's flawed perspective.

This is HackerNews, not Reddit; comments like this are typically ignored. You are claiming that all currencies require active stabilization; that a currency is unstable without outside intervention. Where's the economics that supports your claim? You can cite it, if you want. Your retort regarding music is irrelevant, and it looks like you missed my point.

Instead of writing a paragraph, I observed that you are "making an inherently theoretical claim which you haven't backed up". Why do you believe intervention is required for stability? Do you have a theory; can you cite a theory? I'm not sure why the question was confusing to you, nor why you took it as an offense. I'm sure other people would love to hear you justify your socialist, "hands-on" viewpoint.

Once I found out about biofilms from the cat fountain I built from NSF silver infused antimicrobial tubing, I never can look at plumbing piping the same. Biofilm formed even on the parts that should have been impervious. Even areas where water is constantly running and splashing. First the minerals deposit on the antimicrobial surfaces, and then the bacteria attach and film.

I had always thought that constant high pressure water usage would flush whatever crap is in a pipe. Preventing any real contamination. Well...a quick google search shows that biofilm on residential water pipes is a huge problem. High pressure activity does not eliminate biofilm...of course stagnant water is more of an issue...
Yes, I'm certain that municipalities will oppose almost anything that lessens local control. However that alone is not enough to stop legislation; the housing package of bills got through last year!

Also, it seems likely that "transit" oriented development will be weakened to just "rail" oriented development. In that case, the vast majority of municipalities won't be directly affected, and may actually have reason to support it. That's because it forces their neighbors who are slacking to actually allow people to build, and this should benefit all the municipalities that aren't affected. So it may be possible to split them.

Municipalities are a bit different from just NIMBYs though too, municipalities typically want office space and other business related development because it brings in tax revenue. Housing is seen as a negative to the city budgets, oddly, because of Prop 13.

NIMBY groups (which I am trying to use without an pejorative meaning, simply in reference to neighborhood groups), typically don't act at the state level, except through forcing their municipality to support or oppose specific measures. At least as far as I can tell. I'm still new to this landscape.
Agree the fear of ad is unwarranted. Now isn’t NPR’s app pretty heavy on user tracking and is also used to A/B test contents and formats ?

I love NPR’s content, yet I am still worried about my favorite posdcast app getting aquired. I guess there will still be overcast if it goes down badly, but that would be a shame.
Back in my younger, move naive days when I first started using a password manager and such a practice was not as widespread, I had the same question I think most other people have: "If my computer gets hacked or infected, won't the attacker instantly grab all the passwords from the manager?"

I chose to use a manager anyway, with the logic that if my system was compromised I was owned either way; memorizing passwords provided very little, if any, "softening" of the damage.

It's funny looking back on that fear now. Password managers have become more mainstream, and we, collectively as users, have learned something interesting. One of the assumptions of that hacking fear was that it was more likely for a user's machine to become compromised than it was for the service's the user uses to be compromised.

Well, as it turns out, the opposite was true and the fear was unfounded. The vast majority of password leaks we've seen over the past decade have been due not to malware but rather server compromises.

Perhaps that makes sense in retrospect. But it wasn't obvious a decade ago. Back then viruses and malware were rampant on the internet. In many ways they still are, but not like it was back then. Those were the days of pandemics like the Blaster worm. So it made sense to be more afraid of your own machine being compromised.

But the tides have turned. The landscape of OS security has improved dramatically. The single points of failure offered by servers are far more valuable now than the unwashed masses of networked user computers.

Just a funny retrospective that I thought I'd share.
> I highly recommend using a password manager.

I really wish websites would support use of client side TLS certificates as part of the authentication process. Combining that with a username and password would give you two-factor authentication.
It depends on where your skills already lie. If you do front end work you should learn one of the big frameworks. Love them or hate them, they're here to stay. You should check out some of the remote jobs boards and see what people are asking for. You may as well start applying now instead of waiting for a year, at the very least you'll get a more in-depth knowledge of what people are looking for.
> does say VS2017 produce a smaller executable file, or a faster executable?

If I recall correctly, Igor once said that he tested the new VS compiler and it produced neither smaller nor faster executables. I believe there was almost no difference.

The law doesn't forbid you from selling to a developer. It's not about personal property and who you can sell to. You can sell to whoever you like.

Local planning code determines what can and can't be done, not who you can sell to. This is true everywhere.

And I actually don't think eminent domain (over time) is a terrible idea. Make the area around Golden Gate Park look like Central Park and your housing problem is solved.

For an excessively hot exterior sure, but I was thinking back to an experience at NetApp when thermal inside was the issue. When NetApp first started using SATA drives (rather than Fiber Channel) in their Nearstore appliance we discovered that the SATA drives were negatively effected by writing too much. Specifically, if write duty cycle was too high, the r/w head got too hot, and the heat caused it to change shape slightly and that shape change caused it to fly higher. Leading to something that was dubbed 'high fly writes' which splattered into adjacent tracks and could corrupt data. One fix was to keep track of the write duty cycle and to let the drive 'rest' for a bit to keep the overall duty cycle into something the drive could handle.

I don't think that sort of failure can happen on a helium drive.
It's funny how here we tend advocate for decentralized systems, as more robust and resilient than centralized ones, yet have no problem concentrating political or economical power on a single point of failure.

I purchased PocketCasts app a couple of years ago but recently switched from android to iOS and never re-downloaded it. I'm sure I'd have to re-purchase it, right? or is there a way around that.
The podcast app I really want:

It's unusual because a non-profit doesn't really have an owner (stockholders). But it is still a corporation and many states in the U.S. (non-profit and for profit corporations are created under state law) allow a non-profit corporation merge with a for-profit entity. The transaction is treated like the non-profit sold its assets to the for-profit buyer and then wound down by donating the proceeds to other non-profits.
It is the latter. In my understanding, if this were in Africa or closer parts of Eurasia, this wouldn't be that surprising, since earlier Hominids than Homo sapiens are known to hunt and butcher animals.
That sounds amazing! I love the idea of integrating ML inside the user experience itself to create a feedback loop that looks for templates that would suit the user, based on the user's previous models and the type of work they are doing. Would you also layer in some type of semantic meta-tagging and specification engine which allows the user to pull in tags and keywords from other software, to help train their own personalized decision support, beyond templates?it would be awesome to connect this to something like https://www.IRIS.AI and get template recommendations alongside recommendations for additional research papers to review on the topic. I couldn't believe how effective this type of integrator could be until I imported my 7+ years of Evernote notes and tags, into my Devonthink document manager. The recommendations I get from both the index of pdfs and my own personal tagged notes create a sum greater then its parts. Your platform looks like an amazing tool to add to that mix.
... because Yahoo had an interest in leaking passwords?

Security is expensive, breaches have to be made more expensive. That's the difference between a company's management thinking about security as a checkbox they have to fill as opposed to an ongoing investment meant to reduce risk.
How does Pocket Casts compare with Breaker?
Unfortunately air is an excellent insulator. I looked it up and helium has thermal conductivity and heat capacity about 5 times higher than air.

So significantly better but we have to remember that solids have something like a thousand times better thermal properties than gases and it is the solid bits we are mostly concerned with. So it really depends on where the heat is originating in the drive. I suspect the big advantage is the lower viscosity of helium which prevents heat generation in the drive cavity in the first place.
Proper medical trials don't guarantee efficacy either. For example denavir or abreva. FDA approved yet utterly useless.

So why are they approved? Because there's nothing better. It's the same here, make these trials easier for conditions that otherwise have no good options.

I don't mean to take any stance on whether it's the singular outlier in magnitude, but https://www.citylab.com/equity/2018/04/the-global-housing-cr... makes a strong case for it being broader than a West Coast issue.
Smoking is not a good comparison. There’s not an objective truth that is the “right” policy for housing. Different groups are trying to optimise for different things.

Saying “not in my backyard” is acknowledging that a problem is real, but hoping that solutions can be achieved in a way that doesn’t affect their lifestyle.
One of the things that tech companies could have done is to diversify the locations across USA instead of just investing in California. California is subject to earthquakes, potential attack from north korea, insane illegal immigration and overall leftist hippie policies.

It would have been great if all the large tech companies would invest also in Nevada, Oregon, Arizona etc. and give good competition to Calfornia.

I am worried and California's response to housing crisis might end up creating even more worse crisis for us.
Just keep in mind that epidemiology is fundamentally not able to tell you anything about positive causation.

In this case, individuals who eat more that 5 servings of fruits and vegetables probably also exhibit a whole host of behaviors that contribute to this outcome. Essentially, they are not a representative sample of the population at large, but rather a sub-group who is "healthful" in a whole bunch of ways.
