Ask in HN about more advices about the advices
Couple of things I can rattle off:

It takes a lot of work to make a technology production-ready. I've seen MySQL go from being derided as a toy database, to powering some of the largest, highest scale consumer apps out there. It took years of work from both the core teams, and many contributions out there from people working with it every day to make that possible. It's important for engineers to know their history when they pitch the latest tech they read about on HN and ask why they can't use it on a new project at work. The fact that you can get it up and running isn't enough, you need to be able to keep it running. If you aren't willing to put in that work, then don't pitch the tech.

Secondly, emergent architectures are often more resilient than deliberate architectures. Frameworks and platforms extracted out of real products tend to have more longevity behind them than those that are deliberately designed to solve a multitude of needs from day one. If it doesn't feel right to bring a library or platform in to solve your problem (rather than build something yourself), then don't do it. You might find yourself spending more time fighting the platform or bending it to your will than by building something by yourself.
Academics Announce New Protections Against Spectre and Rowhammer Attacks
I don't think we're underestimating it at all, but we are simply already overwhelmed by fake text-based news like Twitter and websites/newspapers, as well as TV news shows spouting falsehoods. While fake video is surely going to be coming down the pipeline and will make things worse, the current issues are already terrible. Just looking at the 2016 US election, for instance, it was found that multiple fake stories were able to gain a tremendous amount of traction: whether that's the pope endorsing either candidate, health rumors about HRC, or the swirling controversies of Russia/emails/hacking.

The solution has to be that individual citizens become educated, I don't see any silver bullet here.
The really amazing thing is that they don't distribute all these videos themselves. The effect on revenue would be a blip.
OP here. Happy to answer any other questions people might have about the transition from the 2015 to 2018 model!
From a business perspective, it's interesting to me.

Step 1: They want to increase revenue by vertical integration (repairs).

Step 2: They make the process rather difficult (e.g. damaging the device permanently with one wrong move), thus discouraging self-repair and third-party repairs. Also, they void guarantee in such a case.

Step 3: Now that they made it rather difficult, they need to buy/manufacture special equipment (like that metal battery rolling device seen in the video). This, in addition to having the need for more "man hours" replacing a battery, is rather costly.

Step 4: They can now offer repair services, which has to cover the cost of the battery itself, the time needed to repair one device plus the special equipment (which amortises rather quickly I guess).

(Step 5: Constantly increase lifespan of batteries, so that selling guarantees becomes more profitable; incurring costs of necessary time for replacing batteries likewise lower)
The American standard for decaf coffee is to remove 97% of caffeine content[0]. (Note - I couldn't find specific CFRs on an official government site, so it's possible this is just a recommendation and not actually enforced. However, a quick google will confirm that this is the consensus on how things are supposed to operate - I make no comment on how they actually operate.)

Great game :-) Reminds me Sokoban with an evil twist on it.

I guess it would do great on mobile; but I am not sure how easy to port would it be since the screen area is quite big.

Just for curiosity, how many effort did you need to do the levels? I always tought this kind of games were 20% coding, 80% model design. Am I right?

I think the point being made is that `var` used to be the default assignment operator due to a lack of better options. This has now changed. And it's debatable whether `var` is still useful given its "odd" (i.e. unexpected) behaviour.

Personally I'd go further and say `const` should be used by default and `let` should be reserved for when you really need it.
Talking on the internet is hard. It's all good. I overall liked your comment.
South Sudan had oil and none has been discovered in Somaliland as yet. That could be the reason, I don't know. As for Eritrea, I think their story was different. The UN recognized their independence before Ethiopia overturned the agreement. They were also lucky, after a long armed struggle for independence, the collapse of the Derg government in Ethiopia somehow aided their agitation. A new government was in power in Ethiopia that itself forcefully overthrew the previous government. Maybe they just didn't want to extend the war at the time. I don't know some of these things but that is how I see it.
This might become useful in the future:

I absolutely love that this study was accompanied by a FAQ (https://www.thessgac.org/faqs).

My interpretation of this FAQ is that it provides a great deal of context that would be apparent to people in the field (and therefore not included in the paper itself) but is critical background for anyone else who is trying to make sense of it.

It therefore provides a bridge between the highly technical paper itself and journalism which too often misunderstands the true meaning of research results.

I think this is so valuable. I hope that this kind of thing will catch on for more research that attracts public interest.

I think the single most important thing I've learned in my career, for my startup, and for my life is that I'm the only one responsible.

The fact is, everyone can give you advice, it's cheap. However, it's only based off their experience and their responsibility. You can never have too much advice, you just have to see how similar the situation is to see if it's useful.

What exemplified this in my mind, was when I received advice to not go down a particular path with my technical architecture. Yet, 6 months down the line, the architecture works very well, and that same "advisor" has since changed their mind.

Because it's only based off personal experience, and no one can experience things that haven't happened, it's worth weighting advice based on a situation-by-situation basis.

Even if the site is using a "popular" CDN, which does it use? Google? JSDeliver? Cloudflare? Unpkg? Which specific library and which of its versions? There are too many CDNs and library versions to carry the advantage of caching across different sites.
I am yet another person who built something like this some years ago (2006, I think).

The idea is OK, but you're missing something important. People don't care about local news, they care about relevant news. Some news is relevant to me even though it's happening on the other side of the World. Some news is only relevant to me because it affects my next door neighbour (who knew he was into that, huh?).

You're going to need to spend a lot of time fixing up the design as it is right now, and audience building is going to be so, so hard in this climate.

Good luck, but you've a way to go.
> Adversaries just steal the cookie issued after MFA completes these days.

Stealing a cookie is a much different attack vector than phishing, which is what TFA is discussing. It also requires a completely different level of access and sophistication, which puts it in a category so different as to make comparisons irrelevant.

> It's extremely unlikely and naive to think that Google would not have at least one compromised account at any given time.

Stealing a session cookie does not equal a compromised account, while phising does.
I find it incredible how slow modern RAM and databuses are. A far cry from the early days where you could upgrade the CPU cache by inserting some memory chips on the other side of the board

We will all start picking up on peoples kinematics and timing.

A small percentage will, but just like text-based fake news, most people will fall for it, every single time.

Remember, fake video news that reinforces your world view will be so much easier to believe, just like with text-based news, than the truth.
I have a master's degree and I learned early that getting a PhD was not for me. The way things worked at the university made me not stand to be in that environment anymore.
This thing that is ridiculous in my opinion is that the advisor would say: "there is this conference coming and we will send a manuscript. We can try this and that to see if it is publishable.". Why the hell should I research for publishing? One should get the results AND THEN publish it.

The experience with academia was very toxic, although I know people who have experienced worse than that, with addition to advisors' ego disputes affecting grad students.

If you keep an eye on Indeed.com and Angel.co you'll notice a decline in Scala adoption over the last few years. I can't help thinking implicits are partly responsible for this. They're certainly the main reason I ditched Scala. More than any other language there seem to be more exmaples, with Scala, of a team trying it then switching to something simpler.

It was only six months experience directly related to this field, for what little that it is worth. :) I wish you better luck than the project I had worked on. Accounting is a tough field to compete in, because everyone thinks they can do it on the back of napkins or in Excel, up until they have to pay a CPA to tell them everything that they did wrong.
> I suspect it will be quite confusing for a while; but once people have been cheated a few times because of faked video it will become something else.

You're only half-right here. People will quickly wise up to fake video, but that will just make everything worse: every video that confirms their worldview will be seen as totally legit, every video contradicting it will be "fake", just like what has already happened with text news. Your hypothetical chain of integrity between camera and screen won't put a dent in that conviction.

I think the risk is inversely proportional to how famous the person is. A political figure or celebrity will likely have the resources and publicly available metadata to show a video is fake beyond a reasonable doubt.

I’d be more concerned to see manufactured outrage having some random supporter saying/acting bad to someone on the other team, inciting the Twitter swarms to descend- by the time they dox the individual it’s too late for that person to go back to their normal life.
Dan Harmon pedophilia video
I didn’t expect this many responses. It’s a bit overwhelming, but I'm thankful. I’m going to post a few important pieces of information I didn’t think of posting above that should help clarify my situation and how desperate it is.

I do have depression. Pretty bad one actually. I am just graduating from college at 31 because of the toll depression took on my life. I have no previous work experience because I spent my 20s just being depressed doing nothing basically. I've talked to therapists for years now and it's helped, but I've basically gone as far as that can go. My therapist and I both agree that basically as much as can be done from me through a psych has been done. My life needs to improve. Programming was supposed to be my ticket to a better life.

Some people have mentioned I should move home- My home environment is extremely toxic. I’ve cut off my mother completely because she has a severe, much worse mental illness and I only talk to my dad when I need something because he has quite the temper. I managed to get out of the house only because I’m on disability for my depression. To make things worse, my dad is past retirement age. Every single day I’m not making money forces my dad to prolong his retirement as he is the only one in the family with the mental faculties to maintain a job. It should be easy to imagine how this makes him more irritable and angry while also making me feel incredibly guilty and parasitic. This fragile economic state + my age is why I don't really have time to take it easy. I was supposed to be making money yesterday.

I’ve been preparing for technical interviews for over a year in reality, but intensely in the last month or 2. I couldn’t do Fibonacci recursively up until a few months ago until I looked it up and studied how the recursion was working. This is just one example. There are so many very basic things I can’t do.

Finally, I can’t depend on a network or friends in any form because I have none. I am a complete pariah in the computer science community I come from and every other community I’ve ever tried to integrate myself into, basically. No one will ever refer me to any job because no one likes me and, in the case of programming, everyone knows I suck.

The problem is libertarian viewpoints which espouse individual choice must also account for negative externalities of one's activity. If I produce a bunch of pollution on my land or on public lands, I should pay for whatever costs that pollution incurs on others. I don't fault you personally, nor anyone driving their Cadillac Escalada to the grocery store solo, however I do fault politicians and the populace at large for not enacting sensible pollution taxes which recompense innocent bystanders to your choices. For you, I'm glad you can utilize that vehicle when you feel you need to, and I think it's only fair that you pay a tax for the increased cost to society that that choice incurs.

>It is sad though, that young people appear to be less computer literate in terms of creating content (as an overall percentage of previous generations).

Previous generations? How many generations back do you imagine widespread computer use to go?

Jerry Pournelle was considered cutting edge for using a word processor to write as early as 1977. Adobe Illustrator is from 1987 and Photoshop is from 1990.

There haven't been a whole lot of generations in the 41 years since the Apple II was released (about 2 generations, given 20 years per generation).

I can tell you that kids from my generation (baby boomers) had almost no computer literacy. Most of us never even touched a computer until adulthood (if then).
> By that definition, Canada is already a multinational state.

That was exactly my point.
I'm positive the same thing happens in the US - grad students spend some time teaching courses and see up-close just what it's like for adjunct faculty (which is all a lot of them will ever be able to get to). In a lot of states they also hear about just how bad things are for public school system teachers. I suspect that they also understand that part of the private school system is management/investors that feel that those protesting public school teachers have it too good, so teaching is basically going to be what they do between their gig economy jobs shopping for groceries for delivery companies.

There really isn't any comparison between string theory and the octonion "theories".

String theory is a fairly well-developed mathematical theory. We don't understand everything about it, of course, but we really do know quite a bit. The situation is comparable to that of quantum electrodynamics in the 1960s; we've got enough of a theory that we can do reliable computations, but we're still missing some important concepts.

The octonion theory isn't a theory at all yet. Assuming that it will eventually become a theory, what we have now is more like Bohr's early quantum mechanical models or de Broglie's wave-particle duality. We've got some heuristics and some numerical coincidence and some toy models that suggest there might be something there. But no one has actually found a mathematical model that extends or explains the Standard Model of particle physics.

No doubt, contract bloat and missed deadlines are a hallmark of government contracting. Some combination of opportunism and lack of proper forecasting/planning lead to someone like ULA having much, much higher costs than a company like SpaceX.
FWIW, all audio/video communication technologies have been some what comically overestimated in their abilities. Two examples:

- Henry Ford, believing that since “sight” was the universal language, movies (along with airplanes) would unite all people and places
- Many people who believed television was so captivating when it first started to be introduced in the late 20s and early 30s, that it would replace nearly all books and teachers in schools

I think people adapt really well to technologies more than we give them credit for. Of course the first few years lots of scams and dangers can arise, but they are figured out somewhat quickly by the powers that be.
Me too, algorithms are extremely hard for me at first. It took me a really long time to solve easy problems, and I could only solve 1~2 middle-level problems in one day. But finally, I managed to handle them by getting to know some effective learning strategies, e.g.

1. Explain to yourself how algorithms work, like a teacher teaching his/her students.
2. It's even impossible to explain to yourself when facing some middle-level/hard problems. Then I got another good idea: write everything down on papers. Finally, I found out that it was not that hard to solve these problems.

There are a lot of other learning strategies. In retrospect, I think it's lucky to be an engineer. Although it's hard, tough, brain-racking, I get to know a lot of learning strategies along the road. Sometimes you wonder if others are way smarter than you, but maybe they just know some learning strategies that you don't know, and they never give up.
> The problem is libertarian viewpoints which espouse individual choice must also account for negative externalities of one's activity.

Well, no, they are quite able to not account for those. “Should”, not “must”.

Because publications pretty much define your scientific contributions, i.e. your productivity as a researcher.

Some of those architectures really need to be allowed to die. VAX was discontinued in 2000 and was on life support since 1992 when it was superseded by the Alpha.

If it were free it wouldn't matter, but as you say its held up progress on architectures people actually use.
