> Google ads container keyloggers? I doubt that.

Just to be clear, I think they are talking about advertisements placed via Google's platform, not ad campaigns by Google.

I think there is only one way to solve this: programmatic ads cannot contain executable code (no access to local storage or network) and ads must come from the same origin as the page they are on. For example, YouTube will host an ad for Subaru on YouTube's servers. The sticking point as people have pointed to me before on HN is fraud. The customer (in this case Subaru) does not trust Google to be honest in counting the number of impressions.

Perhaps what we need is legislation banning this behavior across the board. When no ad vendor is able to allow customers to do what they please on user's web browsers, the customer has no recourse other than to accept that this is not possible. I don't know how such a legislation would work though. Perhaps it needs to be an industry alliance instead of legislation?
IIRC, while the 360 required hardware modifications, the later generations of mods were not that hard or that risky (of course, your definition of risky is dependent on confidence and skill level for those mods).

Addendum - the original XBox hardware mods were pretty easy too.
You're probably getting hired just to get this thing out the door, not to spend sixth months training a team in agile development processes.

The fact that you're making this post at all indicated you're assuming a lot of what the CEO requires/desires of you. Make sure you didn't make a gross misjudgment of that. And hopefully you're getting paid a lot.
I love top. I just posted a question a few days ago on r/linux about using these customization over htop.
I don't know the first thing about filmmaking, and my terminology will probably be wrong, but...my uninformed speculation is that creating coherent, consistent, high quality raw material gives the editors (or whoever) freedom to compose the best final cut.
I can hear them responding with something like:

Surveillance is helpful information gathering and customer profiling in order to understand customer needs better. This enables us to put more relevant ads in front of your eyes. It also helps us to understand when is most convenient to sneak in the middle of the night and harvest your and your family's vital organs, as permitted by the service agreement you signed.
Ah, yes, I'm very aware of libtls. The API is indeed nice, but it would require some changes in Lwan that I'd rather avoid; for instance, every socket call would need to be virtual, and it would not be possible to use something like sendfile() or mmap() a file and writev() it to the socket.

I'd like to use BearSSL, which is a nice, clean implementation of TLS, makes no memory allocation (so it fits Lwan architecture very well)... but only for the initial connection handshake; I'd then hand over TLS to the Linux kernel with kTLS (https://netdevconf.org/1.2/papers/ktls.pdf). However, there's not much beyond some tests in that front.
I've posted the math here before but if we assume that an asteroid hits the earth every 65 million years and wipes out the dominant life forms, then this fact alone puts your yearly durability at a maximum of ~8 nines.

The point about billing is better, though.

My other concern is that a software bug, operator error, or malicious operator deletes your data.

"our data indicates you're probably a women and therefore have an above average risk of having kids, if you commit to gender reassignment surgery your insurance rate will drop by 30%"

I think you and I are in a similar thought pattern here. I only see a path forward for VR if those crazy treadmill / fan type setups become super mainstream and perfectly reliable. Even then, falling will never work! It's kind of crazy we want to simulate reality so badly when we're already in it.
latex2html and pandoc can both convert to responsive html5, you don't need to learn anything new.

Lots of speculation here, not much analysis, even from lazy gits like me.

Chrome web inspector kindly gives the "Initiator" for every request. In this case it's cnn-header-second.min.js. Load that, and Chrome again kindly detects minified JS and offers to pretty-print it.

The context here appears to be some kind of ad console tool, added by CNN, not by an ad. The relevant function is at https://pastebin.com/EwgPAM6T

It's a bit obfuscated/minified, and they don't seem to have a non-minified version available, so it's not clear exactly what functionality this is enabling.

Either way, not really a keylogger if it's not capturing all keystrokes and shipping them off somewhere.
We all have these things in our pockets that are massive supercomputers by the standards of my college days. And we all use them just to rant at each other about political things that we in reality are totally misinformed about ... and otherwise just waste our lives. I am not sure why quantum computing is supposed to change this.

Even software that is supposed to be useful is so terribly slow. Computers are between 2 and 4 orders of magnitude faster than programmers today experientially believe they are, because today’s culture of programming has rotted so thoroughly. Do you really need a quantum computer when 3 orders of magnitude are just sitting there on the table waiting to be picked up?
Looks like Broadcom getting back at Trump and the US for the failed Qualcomm deal. CA software runs on critical government, military and banking mainframes. CA is also a good base for acquiring and consolidating sw companies in case Broadcom follows that route.
That's a good point and one I've never linked in my mind. My insurance company takes monthly payments from me in exchange for a certain amount of coverage, then they either mandate or strongly recommend that I go to the doctor regularly, which they will cover for a nominal cost to me... basically I'm paying for "insurance" for something that the insurance company has me do on a regular and recurring schedule (visit my doctor).

Whatever your politics on healthcare, it does seem insane that something as routine as visiting the doctor for a yearly physical could be so expensive that you need insurance to pay for it. Like you said, insurance should be to cover unpredictable catastrophic events. My homeowners insurance doesn't pay for roof maintenance until the old one fails. My car insurance doesn't pay for car maintenance until I've had a collision. Why is my health insurance covering routine maintenance?
It&#39;s Time to Require Analytics in Business Plans
It sounds like you already have the problem and solution in your mind before you land. Even if you end up being right it might be good to approach the problem with a black slate and do discovery as if you know nothing rather than with an agenda.

The other factor to be aware of is when people's income and livelihood is at stake they will fight tooth and nail about everything. If you give the team ownership in creating the solution and make it about co-creating the product you might have better long term success.

However, if the deadline doesn't permit that, then the short term solution is to map out a process like you described and find out who's on board and who's not. Remove those who offer resistance from the team because an anti-team player is death for a deadline.

Absolutely this. OP has a Messiah complex it seems. OP don't be their Martyr too!

I think you are setting yourself up for failure:

Is the goal to ship the project on time, or reform the team to OPs ideal of a high performing team, and maybe deliver something someday? I wager the CEO wants the project delivered pronto.

Otherwise, cut scope relentlessly. If delivery is the goal, deliver something, then iterate.

Very cool -- I was not aware of this.

It's interesting that RFID developed out of, partly, a desire by freight train operators to track traincars as they moved around switching yards (moving past fixed readers). The Eurobalise system is sort of the reciprocal of that idea.

I wonder: did he go to court at any moment? Or did he just caved in and accepted to cough up the money?

Based on my experience, in the US, people rarely fight their debts. I have had debt go to collection before, I disagreed with it so I sent the collector a friendly letter saying the debt came from a breach of contract by the other party, so I will not pay it, and will be happy to go to court if they want.

It is very rarely worth the time for collectors. The debt will just eventually be resold, penny on the dollar.

In the very unlikely case it ends up in court, based on some friends experience, it can take a long long time for the problem to be resolved - if ever, because our lifetimes are finite.

If you truly need it every weekend, that's a very legitimate reason to buy such a vehicle, if you can't afford the money/room for a smaller commute-friendly vehicle, or similar reasons.

> Also shockingly, if you already know you need a heart transplant, you're well beyond the point where any market-based risk pool is going to offer to pay for your transplant in exchange for a premium that's below the cost of your transplant.

Everyone is at potential risk for needing something like a transplant eventually. Making the pool large enough allows reasonable premiums, just as I can pay a couple hundred bucks a year to replace my entire house if it burns down.

The rest of the developed world defines the risk pool as "everyone", and the end result is healthcare costs half of ours (including the tax component) and similar outcomes.

Well they do feel a bit under siege according to the press so one might expect them to put their best foot forward. Not that I think they should pull shenanigans like that but it is common for companies, especially tech companies, to do this when they perceive they are losing ground to a competitor.

As others have pointed out, the addition comes from their support of Optane "dimms" which have much higher densities than DDR4 memory in the same form factor.

This is going to give the folks who write schedulers some more variants to play with. First it was per core memory, then it was per socket memory per core, and now it is memory type per socket per core. So you don't want your process running on Core3 with its pages mapped to Optane memory that is attached to the other socket (worst case).

It doesn't make any sense, but it's very popular.

To be fair, when they're desperate real world newspapers are like this too.

A flush successful newspaper will make a deal of its editorial independence and insist you write "Advertising Feature" in big letters at the top of your full page ad, use a completely different typeface and give your company's name, but when money is tight the guy selling those adverts is under pressure to compromise. What if it says "Sponsored content" rather than "Advertising Feature"? And rather than big letters at the top, how about small disclosure text at the bottom? The typeface could be a very good clone of your normal editorial typeface, and still count as "different" right? And lets have a byline which says "Our staff", that's vague, and the poor reader might think it means it was written by journalists, but it doesn't strictly _say_ that, it just says "Staff" which could be anybody...

This is how internationally famous British newspapers end up running content literally written in Beijing or Moscow to let everybody know how free and wonderful those countries are, using weasel words like "in co-operation with". And if the _actual_ news is a bit awkward? Well, you wouldn't want that lucrative sponsored content deal to lapse would you? Maybe a brief mention on page 14 is enough, even if those newspapers which still have a backbone ran it on their front page.
It still wouldn't upload my 1TB in back-ups in an entire month. Amazon Drive back-up completed in 3 days.

Their pricing is amazing, but saving money on a back-up solution that doesn't seem as good as the other cloud storage providers is a dangerous game.
Parser combinators don't need generics, as they are merely higher-order recursive descent parsers. I.e. recursive parsers where functions are created via other functions to generalize and compose them. Go is expressive enough to do that.

For example, let's say we start with a function that parses a character '['.

buf, pos := []byte("[123]"), 0

LBRACK := func()bool {
if buf[pos] != '[' {
return false
}
pos ++ // consume character
return true
}

It would suck to write such function for every single character we have to parse. We can generate it instead:

CHAR := func(c byte)func()bool {
return func()bool {
if buf[pos] != c {
return false
}
pos ++
return true
}
}

LBRACK := CHAR('[')

Now let's do the same for parsing a sequence. We combine outputs of other functions and return one that parses them one by one.

SEQ := func (args... func()bool) func()bool {
return func()bool {
for i := 0; i < len(args); i++ {
f := args[i]
if f() == false {
return false
}
}
return true
}
}

parser := SEQ(
CHAR('['),
SEQ(
CHAR('1'),
CHAR('2'),
CHAR('3'),
),
CHAR(']'),
)

This is the idea.

This is not a real world example though. You'll need to have more primitives, a wrapper that handles various things, like restoring buffer index on failure, captures, that save starting index, move buf/pos into context structure, virtual stack to store captures/errors, etc.

func SEQ (args... func(ctx *Ctx)bool) func(ctx *Ctx)bool {
return wrap (func(ctx *Ctx)bool {
...
})
}

But it's important to get there on your own. And it's pretty much as fast and as flexible as completely hand-written recursive descent parsers and as powerful as parser generators.

there are companies working on commercializing phage therapy, though often for rare disease or cancer.

developing new antibiotics in general is difficult in the US because there are many generic antibiotics that work well, so your pricing power is often quite low. but your R&D costs are still just as high as something like cancer, where you can charge hundreds of thousands a year per patient. so R&D dollars go to higher ROI assets. see novartis, which recently axed its antibiotics division

super resistant bugs are a big issue however and there is probably an investment case there, esp at a time like this when capital is so available. i dont know how hard it would be to develop drugs against particular resistant strains, how many patients get each infection / year, how long you have to intervene before pts die, etc, but i can imagine its a tough field
Yeah. It's funny that hackers (in the old sense) think they can just route around law with an app, or some code or whatever. Doesn't work that way.

I guess by "Rational Actors" you mean sociopaths?

I'm not commenting on the underlying point. I don't know if these coins are vulnerable or not. But there seemed to be something very depraved about this sentiment in the quote above, and I couldn't leave it alone.

I understand that some people only care about gathering as much money as possible. But that is not to be called "rational." Rational people understand that going around and screwing people over for your own benefit has consequences for yourself and others that are not positive.

I felt that paragraph was the most relevant to me, I had been told by my DR that I shouldn't fly. They had already told me I was crazy to have flown to SG with my finger hanging off without being stitched up first. And I didn't have a plaster cast, they had given me a make shift thing in Bali, but once I reached SG I was unfit for flying home due to the risk of further damage to the hand. It was massively swollen and 2 of the bones were pretty badly shattered. I wasn't going to ignore the advice of a DR who was holding my X-rays to appease an insurance company who doesn't give 2 shits about my health.
> So he's pretty clearly trying to game the situation.
I think you've misinterpreted some ambiguity in his statement because he neglected to use the proper tense when justifying his reason for not having a return flight booked.

They inquired if he had a pre booked flight home:

>> Our medical team believe this injury may require long term care, so we would see if beneficial that you return to the UK for treatment, if you have a pre booked flight home please advise us on the date?

His response to that line was:

>> The medical team here have suggested that I will require physiotherapy once a week for 4 to 6 weeks. I have no return flight booked at present, as I intend to stay in Asia for some time yet. I did consider travelling home to have surgery in the UK, but the medical Service is excellent and I'm already scheduled in for the procedure on Monday.

The partial quote you took, "I intend to stay in Asia for some time yet", was his justification for not having a pre booked flight home, not an expression of his refusal to comply with their recommendations.

> He wanted to keep traveling and avoid the NHS.

You've also mistaken his desire to finish receiving treatment in Singapore as a desire to avoid the NHS. His desire was to receive the most immediate care possible and the surgery was intended to install a plate to stabilize his hand and ensure that it heals properly.

They were asking him to fly for 20+ hours in a coach seat, considering his hand was unstable that seams unreasonable. It also increases the likelihood of additional injury as he travels.

The were asking him to transition his medical care from one hospital to another in another country on the other side of the globe. That by itself would introduce considerable delay in treatment as the new medical team would need to fully access his treatment up to that point and establish a new treatment plan. The surgery he was prescribed was to stabilize his injury to ensure it healed properly, delaying that treatment could potentially lead to improper healing.

As someone who popped a pulled tendon and had to wait 6 months (MURICA!) for an appointment with an orthopedist at which point my injury was healed (thankfully correctly), I can fully understand his desire to stay put and finish his treatment.
Putting an RFID chip into the lane reflectors / raised pavement markers seems like it would be a good step, and could be useful both to autonomous systems and driver-assist / navigation systems. I doubt it would add a significant percentage to their cost.

The nice thing is that you really don't need to use any intelligence when placing the markers. They could be permanently set with a random GUID at time of manufacture, and then just installed in the road. After installation, someone (e.g. Google Maps car or crowdsourced project) could drive the road and cross-reference the RFID GUIDs to their actual location.
I interpreted it to mean:

1. he misspoke and meant "80%" of the AWS capacity, which I agree seems implausible.
2. Amazon does not run on AWS because Amazon is 80x more than all of AWS infrastructure. This also seems implausible because of Netflix. In fact, there's an article out there that said AWS exceeded Amazon's capacity within 1 quarter!

I still don't understand what that has to do with autoscaling exactly
