If the attacker has access to your prime number generator, how does a recommendation to change anything (like the primality test) in your system help? While interesting this seems like a thin layer of protection. OTOH every small thing is a step in the right direction right?
It's probably the latter. From the first paragraph of the wikipedia page on DDE [1]:

Due to DDT’s massive prevalence in society and agriculture during the mid 20th century, DDT and DDE are still widely seen in animal tissue samples. DDE is [..] rarely excreted from the body, and concentrations tend to increase throughout life. The major exception is the excretion of DDE in breast milk, which transfers a substantial portion of the mother's DDE burden to the young animal or child

I can easily imagine all manner of horrors following unionizing. I can imagine the Certified AgileTM types getting into the game and making all kinds of horrible silly rules for their benefit, wave upon wave of people who do not have a passion for software design of any sort but merely view it as a hollow vehicle to extract rent by entrenching themselves in processes. I can imagine the same sort of ridiculousness you find in every stodgy old mega company with armies of lifelong paper pushing cogs now being mandated. Perhaps as a concession they'll carve out exemptions for smaller companies. How nice of them. You already see this behavior any time there is any sort of certification or legal requirements involved it quickly gets weaponized and draws in armies of box-ticking auditors who's favorite word is no and have basically zero interest in the material facts that originally motivated their existence.
There was an article in The Register a couple weeks ago about a pension fund suing Oracle over their excessive cloud hype, and what sounds like outright threats to punish customers who don't try it out. From the piece:

The complaint alleged Oracle has been coercing customers to adopt its cloud services, to inflate revenue and hide market disinterest.

"In truth, Oracle drove sales of cloud products using threats and extortive tactics," the complaint, filed on Friday, stated. "The use of such tactics concealed the lack of real demand for Oracle’s cloud services, making the growth unsustainable (and ultimately driving away customers)."

The 10 Biggest Mistakes Entrepreneurs Make When Fundraising
Ask HN: How do I negotiate a raise and promotion after 1 year at my company?
Dear HN-ians,

this summer I had my first anniversary at the company I work for. I genuinely like it here and I'm a valued member of the department/team I work in.

However, while being a "software engineer" like some other colleagues, and not a "senior engineer" like others, I do more high-level work and have more responsibilities than my peers and seniors. That means I do e.g. architectures and specifications in addition to normal day-to-day work. I'm usually referred to as the technical lead for a very important, company critical project. I have the authority to decide how we are fulfilling customer requirements and I'm making sure stuff moves along (which doesn't happen when I'm sick or on holidays).

I have my 1-year review meeting scheduled and I'm not sure how to approach it. I, probably naturally, feel that a promotion and raise are in order, but there have been little to no signals from my superiors other than "we are so happy to have you on the team". I have a good relationship with my boss and his boss (which is the head of engineering), and I don't want to strain those relationships with, be it real or only perceived, improper demands.

Do you have any tips on how to approach this situation, as in, get promoted with everybody being super happy about what is going on?

Thanks!
> advertisers will find out that tracking is pretty much useless anyways

It is only useless for those with at least half a brain. For the rest, it does kinda work. Sure, the gains are tiny, but when you're desperate (which advertisers are, because otherwise they would've taken a more respectable career path building products people actually love instead of spamming the world), every little bit helps.

The real solution would be better user education to make them distrust advertising (because if a product is so great then why would someone pay money to put it in front of you?) and then this cancerous industry will die off by itself. There will be no more incentive for tracking because even the best tracking in the world won't help when your target market immediately sees you as a scam.
Yes, not corrupt but I can agree on misguided and wrong in that they bring a sense of legitimacy to something that isn't going to work, doesn't have time to work and allow those who stand to profit in the meantime to hold out on the pretext that they can make it good.
Ah, yes, i think that was the case. Thanks for extra details!

I've only had one panic attack in my life and it was out of nowhere as well. I was riding the subway and suddenly I had this urge to run away, as if I was late for something but didn't know what. I got out of the subway and just collapsed in the platform, unable to breathe, shaking uncontrollably. It was terrifying. Reading about the "long fuse" makes a lot of sense to me. I avoid confronting other people and always try to be the "team player" and I guess I just snapped that one time.
This is basically client-side validation.
Panic attacks are so mind bogglingly weird. For a few seconds (maybe a minute or so) your brain enters a completely different mode. Then it takes a few minutes to calm back down to regular human thought, again. It's so weird it is difficult to come to terms with what happened.

I spent a few months largely crippled by panic disorder (intermittent panic attacks spaced by anxiety – often about the panic attacks themselves). The whole experience was like a crash course in understanding out-of-body-experiences and accidental mental overreactions.
There's also (4) - a discussion medium with an increasing number of partisan bad actors both at state and corporate level, whose interest is to gum up communication, switch the overton window or foster division by trolling.

In my opinion, an increasing problem with twitter and other discussion media is astroturfing and bot re-signalling, so I feel this needs an additional category different from (3), in that (3) is people who are incompetent. (4) would be people who are agenda-driven and/or malicious.

Or, to put it differently, (3) is about problems caused by people who can hide their incompetence. (4) would be about problems caused by people who can hide their identity.

I'm extremely pessimistic about this section of users, because in my opinion, an identity-based internet would just as radically screw up the internet in a different direction. I do feel, however, that that's the way governments are heading if things carry on the way they are.
Panic attacks are awful and terrifying, mine eventually turned into panic disorder, but after over a year of working on it and taking it step by step I was able to beat it and without any medication!

In my experience, the following helped me.

* Meditation

* Deep breathing exercises

* Exercising especially cardio.

* Cold water showers

* Learning about panic attacks

* CBT

> If I change certain things, they counter it immediately and make it work.

If the content is markup based, are your countermeasures about changing the IDs, classes, or overall tag structure of the markup you serve? I was wondering if you could have several variations of the above, and serve your content via a random one each time that would be visually indistinguishable to a human viewer. The person maintaining the scraper would have to have seen and adapted to all of them to get all your new content reliably. Not an impossible hurdle, but they might try easier targets if too many barriers are in the way.
I've only had a 'true' panic attack once. I was running for a train and I slipped on the stairs and landed hard on my back. My throat closed up, my back ached and I couldn't shout, or call for help. Suddenly I couldn't breathe at all. I didn't know it was panic; I thought maybe I'd broken my back or something. Which of course made the panic worse.

I remember thinking "This is it. This is how I die, here on the station platform, alone, with nobody noticing." It was a terrifying, helpless feeling. It passed after maybe 30 seconds, as soon as I managed to take a gasp of air.

It was only once and more than a decade ago but even typing this is kind of freaking me out.
Ask HN: Can a decentralised network be as fast as its centralised counterpart?
(or even faster).

I really like the value proposition that decentralisation brings, but I have trouble visualising how it can replace incumbent centralised services in terms of speed (ignoring moderation or governance issues that come with lack of centralised authority)

Imagine a P2P version of Tor/onion routing. Can it ever be as efficient as the centralised version? There seem to be so many extra connections that it can't possibly get to a similar level of performance.

Just an example, open to discussing other decentralised examples.

What are your thoughts?
That's okay, I read "impotence" and couldn't believe that anyone would need it explained as to why they should care.
> If prison conditions are bad enough for someone to even consider that, that's a damning indictment of the prison system.

really? a cage is still a cage, no matter how nice. i'm not thirty yet; to live out more than half of my life in confinement, with no hope of release, sounds like a fate worse than death to me. if i were near the end of my life already and had a family, it might be a different calculation.
Yes, the US still uses physical deeds. The exact rules vary by state but as with lots of other things that are broken in the US, some people get very rich off this being broken and they're determined to keep it broken.

Note that the UK has several registries, since it is very old and the registries cover the historical countries which make up the UK. "The Land Registry" is actually just a land registry for England and Wales, and dates back to 1862. For most of that history the situation has been that registration was entirely voluntary, but registrations trump other paperwork. So if you have a Land Registry entry which says you own this field, but I have a piece of paper that says I own it, tough, you own the field. These days most land will have been registered, transfers for money that aren't registered are now void in England, if you pay me $5M for the paper deed for a farm in Cornwall, but don't register in the process that's a waste of the $5M since I still own the farm afterwards. This ensures you pay the taxes ("stamp duty") owed on land purchases, if you don't pay you can't register, and if you don't register you don't actually own the land.

That's a bug on their side. The RSS feed should not require any consent since it doesn't have tracking (I don't think you can even embed trackers in an RSS feed). If they want tracking they can link to outside pages in the RSS feed and put the consent notice on those before displaying the content that requires tracking.

My first panic attack was triggered by smoking weed when I was 17 years old. Since then, it's been a lingering thing that has never left my mind and has kept me on a constant edge, especially in social situations.

I've found avoiding caffeine has helped a lot.
Because it is signalling.
Personally I'm happy that I don't have to rely on medication (although I understand that it gives peace of mind to have access to it, just in case. This in itself might prevent future attacks)

In my own experience, the key to coping with panic attacks is the right breathing technique to prevent hyperventilation from happening.

Ever since I had a few panic attacks many years ago, I am using a technique which works great for me: Short deep inhaling and very slow, long exhaling. Every exhale has to be significantly longer in duration than every inhale.

I've been in many situations in which I felt the first signs of a possible attack, but with this breathing technique, I always was able to stop it from actually happening.

Sounds like you were winded https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getting_the_wind_knocked_out_o...

Of course being winded could induce panic too, but not being able to breathe in that circumstance has a physical cause.
They are not wrong. In the Maxwell equations both come in as fundamentally different terms.

The claim is that current density J is different from the time rate of change of charge density dρ/dt.

That is not to say they are unrelated; they are related by the continuity equation,

dρ/dt = -∇·J.

The distinction is real, because what you are calling current in the one case is actually a spatial derivative of current, as indicated by the ∇.

I would actually go a step further than this and say that current is actually properly defined as the source of magnetic field. On the conventional definition of current, it is physically impossible for current to flow through a capacitor, but we speak of that all the time. So the True Current Density is just

J + ε dE/dt

in SI units. Actually taking that seriously, however, does require to committing to language which sometimes seems a little awkward, like saying electromagnetic radiation involves an AC current oscillation that propagates through empty space transverse to its oscillation.

Not sure I would frame these restaurant owners as indecent because a lot of them are locally owned and just trying to survive. You can make an argument that they shouldn't be in business at all but for a lot of people this is their livelihood and there are those who take these jobs either out of convenience or need.

I would put most of the onus on the societal normalization of this practice and the fact that the US, being so capitalistic, rewards this behavior.

I've had a few, and the only way I can describe is it being the same sensation as if you're in a bad neighborhood, and suddenly you get surrounded, or a drug dealer seems to be very shady in the exchange, or some tweaker looks at you like you killed his dog.

In those situations I keep my shit together and think rationally, but when it comes out of nowhere, you add to that threatening sensation the confusion of not knowing where it comes from. So you think you're having a heart attack, or a stroke, or who the fuck knows. It's a feeling of impending doom.

I see it the same our tendency to see faces on surfaces, our brain is wired that way. It's also wired to sense danger, adrenergic pareidolia, so to speak. And sometimes there are neither faces nor threats.

> To clarify, claiming current is the derivative of charge is like claiming the current of a river is the derivative of it's water level.

My electro mag skills are a little rusty, but I don’t think that’s the right analogy. You wouldn’t say that the speed of a runner is the derivative of their height, similarly when someone is running you wouldn’t try to say that their speed isn’t a derivative of their height, as their height is more or less constant “for the length of the run”.

Similarly, it isn’t the height of the runner, but the distance they’ve covered, it isn’t the depth of the river, but how much water has passed through, it isn’t the static charge of the wire, but how much charge has passed through.
What is really sad here is that all of this “Russian hacking” has accomplished a few goals.

I'm a founder that has struggled with this (but it's basically been solved for a while). When Panic Attacks (https://www.amazon.co.uk/When-Panic-Attacks-drug-free-therap...) is a great book. Just being able to identify it and know it's not dangerous helped me the most.

I loved his anecdote of doing jumping jacks while having a panic attack. The lightheartedness of the way he approaches the disorder is kind of nice.

One weird thing that helped me was reading everything I could possibly find on panic attacks over some short period of time. Every paper, book, medication, etc. Unlike some disorders, the truth seems to mostly be positive (non-dangerous, relatively straight-forward ways to beat it), and so the more you know the better you'll be at approaching it.
