Thanks for finding this. I would've posted that if I had known about, since I think most HN readers (like me) dislike interaction-heavy stories that can go screwy on various computer/browser setups. I know the NatGeo front page has links to both versions (technically, they are entirely separate stories, with different content/angles), but maybe I'm missing it, but I don't see a link to the text version in the multimedia piece, and vice-versa. Or if the crosslinks do exist, they aren't prominent at all. That's a huge oversight, I hope it's not because of some internal office politics -- e.g. the multimedia team not wanting readers to bounce to the text version, and the print team not wanting to lose readers to the multimedia version.

Yes... one style involves a bucket of money, years spent physically going to the classroom, having to live far from home and pay additional money, and more.
The other style involves paying half or a quarter of that, doing it from the comfort of wherever you choose, while holding a job... and getting the exact same level of quality?

You're saying that there's no clear benefit for the first option other than personal "learning style"? How does that fare when going head to head with the extremely obvious and objective advantages of the online option? There's always a compromise and if you gain flexibility and money something's gotta give elsewhere.

You're making a huge confusion if you think an online masters is just a channel of delivery for some material. A (good) classic masters is more than the professor handing out the material personally instead of emailing it to you (which they do anyway).

Exactly as you said, online is the option you choose when you no longer afford (time/money) the other one. It's for when you need to tick a box on an application. Otherwise you can easily skip it and substitute with your experience.

As a person with a bachelor, 2 masters, almost a PhD (:D), and a whole host of online courses and degrees I can tell you there's a world of difference between the two types of experience. So I treat those degrees with the corresponding level of respect. And please mind you, I said the degrees, not the degree holders.
I did just that, and it's fantastic:

lol no.

Job market for GT BSCS grads is the same bollocks as most anywhere else. I say, save your money and go someplace else (or self-teach) and then use a recruiter that knows wtf they're doing; that's what will make the difference.
But, if they do, they have a tougher sell. They might get away with ”we’re just protecting you from certain sites we deem harmful, and we’re thorough with your best interests in mind” when they block specific sites. It requires a far more gullible public to pull that off if it’s more than half the Internet.
No, it makes no practical difference to "business/corporate security" but it's terrible for lazy and incompetent people who wanted to look as though they were effective.

The "full MITM proxy" you mention is, and always has been, the only defined way to make this work. The cheaper, half-arsed solutions you describe earlier cause everybody else pain (socialising costs while privatizing profit) and often don't actually deliver any meaningful security, they're just theatre.

Corporate TLS Middleboxes are the TSA screening of the Internet's security. Everybody knows they're there, everybody complains at the inconvenience, everybody ends up paying the price indirectly, and they claim they're very effective. But independent measures suggest they're basically entirely pointless.
Just like funding NASA isn't purely about discovery, perhaps the collateral knowledge acquired for weapon building was reason enough to invest in nuclear energy. But, now that we are (hopefully) committed to non-proliferation, maybe the federal government is less interested in fission-based energy.
I do think that our current social system rewards the wrong things and drives human evolution in the wrong direction.
Traits like lying, cheating and hypocrisy are rewarded evolutionarily because they help people to accumulate more resources and produce more offspring; this works at both the genetic and environmental level.
The good news is that predators cannot exist without the prey to sustain them so there should always be more prey than predators.
The solution to the problem is decentralization of wealth; otherwise power becomes too concentrated in the hands of predators and it decreases their reliance on prey.

Definitely, and the only way to get there is to keep experimenting even at a large scale. I think Bezos mentions it quite a bit that a lot of larger companies don't get (because they are most of the time not founder controlled and run), as you get larger you have to make larger and larger bets.
I'm quite particular to the 19th district, with it's canal and the Parc de la Villette, which is certainly not drowned by tourists.

It's not a "nice" area in that sense, but it's rather enchanting to walk around, have a drink, or a bottle of wine on one of the bar boats and is growing in cultural experiences to be had.

Granted, I'd probably never have found it on my own if a virtually life long friend wouldn't be living in the area.

Coincidentally I'm off to Paris for the weekend come tomorrow evening and looking very much forward to it. :)

As far as I know, there is no law in Western countries prohibiting domain fronting, so it's not really comparable. What's probably more relevant is Google changing its mind, and deciding it wants to run a censored mainland Chinese service.

BS dude, and you know it. If the gun hadn't been to hand (and locking it up with ammo separate is a form of control) it is more than reasonable to suggest she would have had time to be less destructively impulsive. Even slitting wrists or downing pills is more survivable than a gun to the head.

To be clear, I own a rifle and I want to be able to continue to own that rifle. However, I keep it locked up in the basement with the ammunition far away from it. It's a lethal weapon, I treat it with respect.

Wow. I had my ACL done and got 3 days worth of Oxycontin (6 tablets, 1 every 12 hours). I didn't want to finish taking them because they made me hallucinate. Looking back, I probably could have gotten by after the first day with only ibuprofen. The doctor was very concerned about staying ahead of any pain though.
Most subway lines will have peak scheduled throughputs of about 26-30 trains per hour, or a train every 2 minutes or so. The tracks can support more, but it's a good idea to have some schedule slack so you can send more trains through if things go wrong. Moscow's Metro does manage 45TPH, but that is achieved mostly by having a simplified track layout with no revenue branching.

What? I've never seen this in practice.

Hong Kong is incredibly dense and full of high rise buildings (Kowloon has 110,000 people/square mile) and streets aren't exactly wide. Seoul packs in 42,000 people per square mile without many significantly wide streets. Tokyo streets are often only suitable for one way traffic.
For most of my life I've slept on my stomach. That changed when I moved to Chicago for a 6 month period.

At the time a bed was too expensive for a temporary situation and I always hated air mattresses. So, I decided to sleep on the floor.

The floor was carpeted, but the hardness punishes you if you move during the night. After a couple of weeks, I was having the best sleep of my life. I'd sleep the entire night without moving.

It's been about 5 years. I no longer sleep on the floor, but I do continue to sleep on my back. I also sleep for most of the night.
Some material here: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/union-find/

A disjoint-set data structure is a data structure
that keeps track of a set of elements partitioned
into a number of disjoint (non-overlapping) subsets.
A union-find algorithm is an algorithm that
performs two useful operations on such a
data structure:

Find: Determine which subset a particular
element is in. This can be used for determining
if two elements are in the same subset.

Union: Join two subsets into a single subset.
I suggest not using a pillow, or using the thinnest one you can. I used to have upper back/shoulder pain and went to a chiropractor. He showed me that my “head carriage” was off - I held my head too far forward, which caused neck/shoulder muscles to strain more to keep the head up. I corrected it by not using a pillow when laying on my back. A decade of pain gone in a couple of nights! YMMV

> Walmart has spent a shit ton of money on their analytics systems including open source and Teradata.

This is true! More specifically, we're using Teradata and Hadoop.

> They have agreements with various cell companies for geo-fenced info.

First that I've hear of it. If we actually did have this, it would be a major invasion of privacy. There was a pilot to be able to track expensive inventory (Like TVs) around the store to prevent theft, but it was shutdown due to privacy concerns.

> They have no loyalty program (Sam's has membership) to provide compelling packaged deals to shoppers, they have their Every Day Low Price pretense but check Neighborhood Market prices that vary wildly from super-center prices especially for grocery.

This is where it gets interesting. Most of the variation you'll see is taxes from zone to zone. As well as logistical challenges for certain locations. Given actual places, I could get a breakdown of costs, but alas.

Management is terrible, I'll agree to that. But HR isn't ageist, and we have thousands of associates that are > 25 year tenure with Walmart and hundreds of those over 35 year tenure.

Turnover in SV is because we meet the bare minimum to compete in the market, not because of management, otherwise you'd see the similar numbers to our offices in Reston, Virginia.

Thanks!
I'm generally averse to JS-heavy presentations but I wouldn't consider this "crappy" -- in fact, I think this might be the best usecase/justification of such a format that I've yet seen, and this includes the NYT's Pulitzer-winning Snow Fall [0].

The JS in the NatGeo story is used for certain important and dramatic effects, such as the transition from a full page photo of the patient's original face, to the x-ray after her suicide attempt, to what her face looked like after the 22 reconstruction surgeries. The JS allows for as graceful a transition as possible while forcing the user to see the entirety of each of the faces. Scrolling through the photos with a standard vertical scroll would not have the same effect. Nor would a static layout of the 3 photos side by side (since they'd have to be drastically scaled down in size).

As you said, the subject matter is gruesome. The photos are best seen each all at once, as they would on a magazine print page. The JS for the feature works as a pretty good digital replacement for a physical page turn, IMO.

Absolutely not. Full MITM proxies are required to inspect traffic.

Inspecting SNI is ineffective against the majority of threats including blocking botnet traffic.

Whole Foods allowed Amazon to move into grocery delivery much quicker and bigger than they would have otherwise. That purchase made a lot of sense because even though Whole Foods is brick and mortar it extended Amazon's online offerings.

This is more of a head scratcher. The only thing I can think of is adding 1/2 tickets a month to Prime benefits. I suppose it also makes them more competitive in buying/producing content because they can get part of the theater sales.

Backside covering at the cheapest possible price is the goal. It's not about whether it achieves the regulatory goal, just whether it gets a check on the list.

The previous iteration of backside covering pondered the unencrypted server certificate, on the rationale that if this is a bad guy why do they have a good guy's certificate.

If you know any cryptography, you are now thinking "But, wait, how does that secure anything?" but you aren't the target customer. The target customer verifies that this blocks them from accessing a "Bad" site in Internet Explorer and they're happy to part with $$ instead of the $$$ it would cost to do full blown HTTPS proxy for every connection.

In TLS 1.3 this server certificate is encrypted. So the (perhaps slightly more untrustworthy) client SNI is pondered instead.

What middlebox vendors would prefer not to mention is that in many cases they also figured TLS re-connections are always safe and can be allowed through. After all, if they didn't let bad guys make the original connection, how could those bad guys re-connect? TLS 1.3 exploited this to be "backward compatible" with such crapware, it says all its connections are "reconnections" so they pass through unmolested...

Not the parent commenter, nor do I have data, however, I can also provide my own anecdotal experience like yours.

Everyone I know who is a heavy reader of ebooks uses Kindle, and usually also has a Kindle e-reader (with the E-Ink screen). From my own experience the people I've met who primarily use iBooks are the more "casual" readers who read several books a year, whereas the Kindle users tend to read many more than that. The e-ink screen is critical for literary enthusiasts as it's the closest thing to a real book, but is digital.
I am curious if anyone tested these legacy end points / cookie inputs for sql injection (or something along those lines).
I have a friend who had brain surgeries as a child and then again a few years ago. He said even though he weighed 2-4x more for the recent surgery they gave him half the morphine dose he got when younger. Apparently that dose was only enough make his feet itchy without sufficient pain relief, but they said they couldn't give him any more for whatever reason (legal, hospital policy, etc).

If that story generalizes it may be that somehow outpatients are getting too much painkillers while inpatients are not getting enough. The latter group is, of course, much less likely to get addicted.
There’s a lot of money getting dumped into all things cyber, and its attracting waves of people like flies to a lightbulb.

It’s also a place where marginal people can burrow in or even thrive - either doing policy work (in the form of monk-like transcription of NIST documents), being a gatekeeper for exceptions and reviews, or doing threat intelligence. Figuring out how to measure and hire people is hard, and banks and Federal contracts need to fill thousands of chairs.

The racket of expensive certifications was restricting the talent pool, so these cyber security programs are sort of like a substitution for that. This isn’t going to ever produce real technical leadership — the smart people are ultimately engineers who do interesting security things. IMO it’s a waste of potential — smart kids are bypassing Computer Science or Engineering for a much less rigorous education.

Most other patients demand quick and effective pain relief. When most doctors operate within a system that promotes total customer satisfaction and when they know an opioid is going to make the pain go away right now, the opioid prescription is easier. Plus this will make extra dollars for the system.

Changing this would require mindset change for patients (I need to endure the pain and follow a clean diet/exercise), and having doctors look to 360 treatments, including diet, sleep and exercise recommendations, instead of opioids

One deviation that comes to mind and smack in the center of town would be Beaubourg (Centre Pompidou[1]), which is a very massive, very modernist building, surrounded by some of the oldest parts of the city.

The canopy at Les Halles also pretty much puts a stop to the rumour that new, massive constructions are not possible in Paris, let alone in the center of Paris.

Granted, context certainly matters and Beaubourg was, charitably put, rather controversial when it was under construction, but it's absolutely not a given that no renewal is possible.

I would say that crossrail will be much higher capacity than that, since it aims to have 41 stations and London is a big city, so there is potential for the same train to carry one group from Station A to Station D, someone else from station C to Station G, another group to replace the first from station D to station K, etc. Large networks are just more useful than ones with 2 nodes.
