I have "The Big Clusterfuck" twice a year and "just" tension headaches nearly every day. They start around 3pm and they intensify 'til they kill me, even on weekends - but I'm totally 100% sure that there are people at workplace who think this is just an excuse to get me home earlier (though this happens only once or twice in a month, because I'm so ashamed of it).

I also have to sit and "do nothing" for an hour after my breakfast, because I get such a bad stomach aches if I don't that I can hardly walk (yes, yes, I have seen many doctors about it, I have tons of good advice et cetera) - so I usually start work at 9pm and whenever we have an early meeting or gotta see the doctor early in the morning I feel like shit and scared. This I guess too can be categorized as a chronic attendance problem :)

Ok, thanks for letting me know
I've got a limited understanding of physics, but what I understood from the em drive website, was that basically it did not violate ths conservation of energy, the em-drive was more of a direct energy-momentul convetsion tool.

So, supposedly, if em drive worked, you could produce a flying car that could hover without new energy input (it was supposed to use superconducting materials in the cavity). As soon as you started mooving the energy in the cavity started to decrease - so you would be transfering the energy/momentum of photons in the cavity to your ship?

Anyway, my physics gut told me this was all bullshit, but I wanted to believe sooo much, if this worked, it would have been the greatest invention in human history.
No, I was responding to your comment, and your comment only, which is why I quoted you. I'm not conflating anything. Your tangent about "irrational fear" is what I was responding to, there's nothing more I can add to make that clearer.

You mention video games. In a video game, the interactions via voice chat, or text chat are person to person. I am not aware of any politicians calling that "fake". It's not related though, as online multiplayer gaming is a sub-set of a specific type of digital activity, whereas AI and bots and voice recognition is all-pervasive. It will be everywhere, and deserves scrutiny because you won't need to be a "gamer" to be exposed to this technology. IMHO it's vital we continuously examine the ethical concerns.

I'm responding to the actual context of this entire thread, not attempting to make a point by point rebuttal to anything you said.

If IQ isn't the only thing a college degree is a proxy for, that just means we'd need to offer companies even more than just IQ test if we want to remove the college degree requirement.
You CANNOT, by any means, consider an IP address to be "personal data". You cannot say "I don't want my IP to lay around in a database somewhere" because ... IT IS NOT YOUR IP. An IP address is used to uniquely identify a device on a network, not a person. This device can be (and usually is) a router, a proxy, a server of some kind, a corporate computer, a public computer and so on. Not to mention the fact that a device can also have multiple IP addresses at the same time. So, an IP address CANNOT be used to uniquely identify a person and it really shouldn't be considered in the context of GDPR. Ah, an IP address + some other identification data, that's another discussion. Depending on the combination, it might be considered personal data.
"It is a little weird to me that people on message boards assume they've outguessed the hardware security teams at both Apple and Google on one of the most obvious attack vectors for their phone designs; both companies spend huge amounts of money on this stuff."

For what it's worth, that isn't the assumption people are making. The easy assumption to make is that the security teams were unable to convince product owners at these companies that the extra expense of solving this was worth their investment. Especially because practical baseband attacks still haven't hit them as an issue, and it's very rare for product owners to take on major changes or invest in security for "theoretical" threats.

Just look at all of the services still allowing SMS for 2FA - it's not because the security team doesn't know that is an insane thing to be doing in 2018.
> if you're saying conservation of momentum can be violated, or conservation of energy can be violated, then basically all of modern physics would have to be wrong.

Conservation is not a fundamental law, but an emergent property of a deeper principle called Noether's Theorem:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noether%27s_theorem

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04ERSb06dOg&t=594s

And it is constantly violated.
God, that shit sure tastes bitter :D But I'm trying the same nowdays, hope it's going to help.
> What you are saying is equivalent to stating a tautology: Elsevier is still important for researchers' careers because Elsevier is still important for researchers' careers.

It appears you've entirely missed the point. There is no tautology. There is only a vicious circle of being forced to publish in established journals to have a chance of having or even starting a career in research, and the fact that most if not all established journals are controlled by companies such as Elsevier. Therefore if your chances of having a career depend on consuming a service sold by the likes of Elsevier and producing content for Elsevier, it's quite obvious that you have to play along this scheme if you intend to have a career.
This is not a technological problem, but a coordination one. Each of the individual researchers, faculty and grant committees are being perfectly rational in supporting status quo, they are just stuck in a suboptimal Nash equilibrium [1].

To quote Yudkowsky for a possible solution to this metaproblem "That’s why we have ... there doesn’t seem to be a word in your language for the timed-collective-action-threshold-conditional-commitment… hold on, this cultural translator isn’t making any sense. “Kickstarter”?

There is a difference between just being a douchebag, and actually sparring people.

Psychological pressure is not just a bad thing. Too much of it, yes, and used for selfish reasons, yes - but - there is a net positive effect of making people defend their position and holding them accountable for their views.

From what I've read Jobs combined the positive sparring attitude as well as negative I-must-have-my-catharsis-by-abusing-you as well.

An intellectually keen sparring partner is something most people cherish. Given this sparring partner is Jobs there is a random reward/punishment element involved - is he going to cherish me or banish me?

We all know this random reward system is the key to addictive interactions. Jobs was probably a keen intellectual sparring partner combined with an emotional game of chance.

No wonder people revered him.

I think the 'asshole steve jobs' reverence goes into the same pile with Gordon Gekko admiration. The problem with Jobs is he was a non-fictional character and people the lizard-people kind of types seem to completely misunderstand what was the good part in him as a leader.

I will be careful to compare academia with software world (open or not), since the latter ones more often than not fall into "applications", which can be relatively easily judged by, as you said, "the virtue of being very useful".

It's often hard to do so with the theoretical work in academia due to various reasons, either by its pure technical difficulty, or lack of immediate applications. That's why they need to be peer-reviewed. And Elsevier provides a "prestige" platform to have respectable in-field people to review your research and decide it's good or not, due to the lack of other metrics.

I failed to see how it's related to journal's physical form. As soon as the importance of the research need to be evaluated by other experts, similar platform will exist.

Of course, things like arXiv [1] also exist.

Great, someone managed to get a build system to work for a project. That's nice. I'm sure there are a bunch of cases where even hand-written makefiles are being used to the same effect. Does that mean that any of those tools are free from any design issue or maintainability problem?
As with other online transfers, actually publishing/reading material has become the easy part and a whole pile of issues with security cropped up instead. (You don’t even really need a publisher to help with notoriety, if your stuff already shows up easily on Google.)

I wish that Elsevier was being paid to solve a bunch of hard security problems but they seem to just be an expensive paywall. For example, do they provide a block chain or other trusted time stamp solution to make it easy to prove that a publication was “first” (no matter who decides to steal a file and copy/paste their own name as author instead)? I’d really like to see those kinds of things become mainstream defaults for publishing. Right now the main downside to just throwing files on random web sites is that they don’t typically have those security elements, making it easy to steal and hard to authenticate what you’re seeing.
I hope you realize most people on facebook are not there to find intellectual content. These are the same set of people who have made shows like Judge Judy and Dr. Phil and Jerry Springer famous. Vast majority of population loves cat videos and would click on "Top 30 reasons to see royal wedding". They are the one who will stay on FB for hours and contribute towards FB's impression goals. One time I was researching replies in twitter feed of Trump and other conservatives like Ann Coulter. It's purely fascinating how many people are out there with nothing else to do, hanging out there for hours on, posting stupid meme after meme for insignificant posts. You, me and crowd in general at HN is different. FB is not optimized for us and I highly doubt they would care about how we want FB to be.

With heads of AT&T and other companies being interrogated by Congressmen, at least? And if not, why not?

"If the CFAA bars legitimate security research like this, then we would all be truly fucked."

You must be new here. This is why we have all been saying that the CFAA is truly fucked, for many years now :)

But yes, you did play with fire on this one. People have been convicted for far more innocent activities than this. I assume you're a student or recent grad and may be a bit optimistic about the world we are in. Don't fuck around under your real name or IP address when you do this kind of thing. "Accidentally" dropping a ' into a webform just to see what happens is one thing, but you won't be able to feign innocence with something this involved. Unless you are both the client and the server, or the other party is unambiguously inviting testing (such as a bug bounty), you have no claim to legitimate security research.

It's still awesome that you found and drew attention to this. It's important work. But, cover your ass next time, or know what you're getting into. Especially hitting obscure companies like this, who notoriously exist in a culture very unlike the typical valley-type company, where such activity makes them feel very threatened and outraged, often turning to law enforcement or initiating legal action.

Also, the term you're looking for is coordinated disclosure. Do not let the vendors define "responsibility" as they have attempted to do with the injection of that term into the lexicon ;)
I can think of two possibilities:
1. Hardware accelerated custom crypto algorithms.
2. Specialized co-processor. You could implement an exotic processing architecture on the FPGA to off-load computations to, like a complex number processor with 52-bit words in a custom floating point format for a specific application.
Depending on which kernel version you are, C5 (and M5) instances can be real sources of pain.

The disk is exposed as a /dev/nvme* block device, and as such I/O goes through a separate driver. The earlier versions of the driver had a hard limit of 255 seconds before I/O operation times out. [0,1,2]

When the timeout triggers, it is treated as a hard failure and the filesystem gets remounted read-only. Meaning: if you have anything that writes intensively to an attached volume, C5/M5 instances are dangerous. We experimented with them for our early prometheus nodes. Not a good idea. Having the alerts for an entire fleet start flapping due to a seemingly nonsensical "out of disk, write error" monitoring node failure is not fun.[ß]

If you run stateless, in-memory only applications on them (preferably even without local logging), then you should be fine.

The only problem I see here is needing data based on contract obligations, I have seen lots of sites packing the data collection into privacy policy or some shady contract, thinking that this is legitimate interest. But legitimate interest is actually the hardest part of GDPR, even if most people think it is a workaround. If you can provide the service without some personal data (not due to financial claims) you can't pack those under "better user expirience" as legitimate interest. I presume, that after 25th, google will stop tracing searches for EU users for example. Legitimate interest has a long recital behind it and is a real problem to do it right unless legalislation requires the data. I would stick to consent for everything else. Just mentioning.
> /r/Politics will be full of "ShareBlue" links and /r/The_Donald will be full of Breitbart.

I know it feels good to just breezily generalize, but I just looked through the 2 subreddits you named, and of the 125 top-voted links of the past 24 hours on /t/The_Donald, a whopping 4 of them are from Breitbart (a simply Ctrl+F on each page shows it). That subreddit is most memes, tweets, and even simple photos with smart-ass original titles written by the poster. Just do a word-find on "i.redd.it" and then "imgur.com" on each of the first few pages and see.

As for Shareblue on /r/Politics, there are no links from the Shareblue.com domain in the top 125 links today, but I assume you were referring to the source of the narratives; well, you would more effective in just point to actual sites: of the top 125 links on there for the past 24 hours, 16 are from WashingtonPost.com and 15 are from TheHill.com.
