We’ve had discussions along these lines before on hacker news. There is a definitely a contingent of people, myself included, who think they should’ve been regulated or broken up quite a while ago.

Unfortunately that’s not the motivation behind this story. So doesn’t really seem worth discussing now.

>If things seem disorganized at that stage, then I assume that day-to-day operations at the company are even more disorganized

I'm not really sure about that. In my experience there can be a pretty big gap between the initial recruiters (who often understand nothing about the actual qualifications necessary) that are just trying to get as many people in the door as possible, and the actual operations of the company. Granted I have a pretty small sample size, but I've had this misalignment go in both directions.
Out of all the other possible parties that could have attempted this? Yup, I'd say I trust them the most.
You're right, this is an important clarification. Airlines like smaller airframes that are easy to fill, have fewer engines, and they're okay with breaking journeys up into multiple smaller hops. Passengers don't necessarily have a choice.
That's basically business class :)
Do you think gift cards would shield you enough? I mean they can be tied to the card used to purchase. But are the data-mongers doing that?
That'd be some sort of delicious irony.

The most reprehensible president ever, curtailing the bad behaviour of the most reprehensible global advertising company ever.
Giant blocks of color wont help me differentiate the 31 and the 31bx that are both offered by MUNI in San Francisco. But the giant 32pt type helps me do that.

Even if I had only 1 second in your hypothetical scenario, color doesn't help me differentiate the 2 bus lines from the same agency that don't rely on color at all.

Color is one tool in a suite of tools that designers can choose from to draw attention. My point was over reliance on color looks ugly. Typing this one standing up for you
Thats why airlines would have height limits - people who are not allowed on your airplane are not your customers and can't be injured by sitting in it.
not even remotely the same league.. I've never once heard of cash analytics for spend habits the same I have seen for cardholder/loyalty programs.
A deep dive into the Go memory allocator and garbage collector
None of the big US brands do that. They each have a best price guarantee that gives you a free night or 50% off or something if you are able to reserve for cheaper than on their official website.

The only thing they might engage in is opaque pricing, which is Priceline and hotwire auction. But that is different since it's not a publicly advertised price, the buyer puts in how much they want to pay and they are stuck with whatever hotel Priceline or hotwire give them.

But reputable hotels don't resort to that since that attracts price sensitive guests that aren't desirable anyway, such as prostitutes and drug dealers.
Slighly off topic, whenever I see rebates (or similar) in the form of gift cards, I always assume the the entity awarding the gift card does so because the use of the card deepens their data profile on you.

Or maybe I'm just too paranoid?

Yes there are people who do this. Example: https://www.instagram.com/azamatsmith/
> It seems you also chose to output line numbers by default in that case, but it's nice that you have -N.

Right. When you run ripgrep with its output connected to a tty, then its output is "prettified." That means results are grouped by file, colorized and include line numbers. But if you aren't connected to a tty, then ripgrep reverts to the standard grep format (e.g., no line numbers). This means you should be able to use ripgrep in pipelines pretty much exactly like you would use grep. It just does the right thing. You can test this easily by comparing the output of `rg <pattern>` with `rg <pattern> | cat`. ag also does this to some extent (by disabling grouping and colors), but does still include line numbers in most cases.

> do you have an option like ag's undocumented -W which allows specifying a max line width for which a matching line is displayed?

Yes. That's the -M/--max-columns option. I have that set by default in my config:

$ cat ~/.ripgreprc
--max-columns=500
--colors=match:bg:0xff,0x7f,0x00
--colors=match:fg:white
--colors=line:none
--colors=line:fg:magenta
--colors=path:fg:green
--type-add=got:*_test.go

> I am not sure how this would work. rsh/ssh may be involved.

In order for this to work over SSH, the SSH client and server would need to be enhanced to exchange this data, and also an SSH protocol extension would need to be defined to convey it across the network.

One might define IOCTLs that work on pipes and PTYs to send/receive control messages. So sshd would read control messages from the PTY and pass them over the network, and the SSH client would receive them and then pass them on to its own stdout using the same ICOTLs. (Alternatively, one might expand the existing control message support that recvmsg/sendmsg supply on sockets to work on pipes and ptys as well.)

Any program supporting such an out-of-band signalling mechanism would have to gracefully degrade when it is absent. If your SSH client or server, or some program in your pipeline, or your terminal emulator, etc, doesn't support them, just fall back on the same mechanisms used today to determine output/input formats.

(rsh is such a deprecated protocol, there would be no point in trying to extend it to support something like this.)
Look for a hotel on maps.google.com. There 90% chance that the hotel is offering the same price as OTAs. Book directly on the hotel site, and use their reward system to get points.

Most of the hotel offers the same rate as OTA. We - Hotel owner can't offer a cheaper rate than OTA.
Yes, business class is basically what pays for the trip.

It's the business travelers that are subsidizing the economy ones, not the other way round.

So it doesn't make sense to make economy more comfortable, actually the opposite.
Yes, although gift cards are usually limited in where you can spend. It's also an amazing amount of float for larger companies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Float_(money_supply)
It's not aimed at people browsing the web and playing FSPses though, is it?

This may be obvious to the candidates but it isn't that obvious to startups. I have seen startups that ask the same interview questions asked at FB. Why would anyone who can solve these questions join your loss making startup? IMO startups should scale the difficulty of their interview process with the liquid compensation they are willing to offer. Also, reduce the number of steps in the interview, especially for experienced candidates. Make the process smooth and effortless for the candidate. That's something FB and Goog cannot do at their scale.
A lot of attention in the press is given to Google et. al. about purchase profiling and tracking for ads. But the concept of purchase profiling has existed really since the invention of the credit card. As others have mentioned hedge funds have brokered this data for decades - but for some reason it has not been covered as excruciatingly as it has for tech companies. While I disapprove of the practice overall I would bet that tech companies are actually a more responsible steward (jail warden?) for this data than credit card bureaus, precisely because the spotlight is on them and also we have come a long way for data security in general.

There needs to be much more coverage of this in the contemporary press as it is applied to credit card companies, agnostic of tech co.'s making it a joint venture.

I believe credit card co.'s gave this process momentum early on and tech co.'s are just taking it and running with it.

The same can be said for Google location tracking vs. Verizon's straight-up selling that data as an asset.
What Google can do and what they choose to do are two different things.
One thing the tech giants could do is collude to compete greater with one another... there are too many advantages to the dominance in an market segment and so they don't bother competing with one another. Google+ was a bit half-assed... and it seems like they don't care to compete in social networking anymore. Facebook is doing something with video but it doesn't compare with youtube. I would like to see google attempt to create a social network comparable with facebook and I'd like to see facebook attempt to create a search engine or video sharing service comparable to google or youtube.

Rather than break them up, force them to compete with each other in each other's dominant market. And then if we get a super giant then break it up.
I strongly advise against it. Marijuana is not an optimal long term treatment tool for anxiety, while you may realize immediate short term benefits, it is only a bandaid solution.

Instead, examine your life and find out what:s causing the anxiety and address it. Dont rely heavily on substance.

It is your decision at the end of the day.

Ethics classes are usually elective. Most students elect to study more interesting topics.
Better seats are usually WAY more expensive than the slight earnings statistic for height. At 6’5”, I’ll do the Early Bird check-in (out of my own pocket) on SWA, or the economy plus on United regional jets. I cannot physically get my knees in a standard regional jet seat.

The only relief for tight airline seats is a few drinks to dull the misery.

I don't doubt one bit that they have people capable and probably even willing to get the crypto right.

I _strongly_ doubt they have the corporate will or motivation to actually put it into production. I'd go so far as to say "getting it right" is antithetical to their (enormously profitable and deeply entrenched) business model.
I'd be shocked to find out any hotel uses an actuary. The big ones have sales teams dedicated to booking groups and events, and the smaller ones are usually franchised and managed by a small staff. Most brands use h
inventory management software too that auto updates pricing based on prior years' performance and how quickly rooms are renting (or canceling), much like airline ticket prices.
It's amazing where you can find relatively powerful general purpose processors, and all the vulnerabilities that come with that reality. I like this article on the subject: https://www.bunniestudios.com/blog/?p=3554
[Rearranging the replies a bit:]

> This was 3-4 years ago, I'm sure the community has changed at least a little since then, like any online community does. It also may be completely different today.

Ah. Duly noted, thanks.

> Silence is not implied assent. Silence is the right solution to most situations. Having been on the arrogant end of those kinds of "debates" for far too much of my life, I've learned that silence is effective because it does not give the arguer any satisfaction in their prior arguments nor the opportunity to continue showing off their arrogance with further arguments.

> When someone's only interest is in being right and explaining how right they are, it's not worth talking to them when you disagree. You can listen of course, but that doesn't need a conversation.

Thanks for this, particularly the first sentence. I'm still learning to mentally model behavior so I can understand the thinking behind a given form of expression, and in turn how I should respond appropriately to it. Now to just learn how to actually quieten down in these settings... :)

> Having been in many, many online communities for the past 20 years, HN is in fact a minor miracle. It is a bit of an echo chamber, but you can't really escape that while still having a "peaceful" community.

For better or worse, I'm really glad I was having slow internet a couple years ago and went "alright what's the URL of that really barebones website again, that'll probably be usably fast" :D

The SnR here is probably the reason I like the place so much; reddit is full of _so much fluff_. Hm, maybe the reason people say they come here for the comments is not so much because the comments will have exactly the thing they want to read but because they're not full of distractions...

Okay, this is one of my new favorite quotes, ha!
I'm happy enough to be indifferent on good-airline (JL, NH, SQ, CX, QR, EY, EK, etc.) in newer lie-flat all-aisle business class, and usually happier-than-on-ground in F (esp on something like JL). Premium Economy or economy-with-empty-seats-next-to-me is fine as long as I have good audiobooks and headphones.

I recently did SFO-HND on JL 1 in F (Alaska miles redemption for SFO-HND F, KIX-BKK in C, for 75k miles or about $1250). It was better food than all but the best restaurants, great service, decent Internet, and a comfortable, large seat which turned into a very nice bed. Doing that for 20-40h would be no problem at all.
From last week's issue of The Economist [1]:

"Of the 1m green cards (permanent residence visas) issued [in the US] each year, only 15% are granted because of the applicants' skills, notes John Dearie of Startups USA, a pressure group; in Australia the figure is 68%."

What you're probably worried about is an entity being able to fingerprint you based on a few simple data points and a profile of someone who fits those data points. Which is possible, and increasingly accurate.
No :) I am almost 2m tall and not scrawny. In a lot of seats that is kind of torture. It was fine when I was 25, but at close to 45 it is just painful longhaul, but at least there I can sit. I cannot physically sit in some chairs in short EU flights without bothering everyone around me. Which is why they usually just put me somewhere else.

Indeed if I was 2 by 2 I would say I should book 2 chairs, but inside EU, especially northern EU, a lot of people are tall and in NL (where I am from) often taller than me and yet the seats are smaller than a lot of asian airline seats where I am the tallest. If you have to fly for vacation or very sporadically then it does not matter too much, but if you fly a lot and for work, in which case you want to feel rested, it is somewhat of a pain to go through the same thing every time.

Then ofcourse, you can say 'pay more'; the unfortunate thing is that EU internal flight business class is just economy with slightly more legroom and a free middle seat for a looooot of money. While, again in Asia, business class on short flights, means large chairs (2-2 arrangements with comfy chairs vs 3-3 cheap feeling plastic mini chairs in the same A320) for less money for the same distance.
I remember hearing once about a company trying to turn an old cruise ship into a floating hotel off the coast of California. The idea was also to keep it in international waters so that visas and taxes were not a thing. I wonder what happened to that idea?
Tracking by credit card is so effective that some companies, such as Safeway (*in Canada), have ceased their loyalty card programs. Loyalty card programs are redundant and must offer incentives for consumers to choose to use them. Now, no such incentives have to be offered to the customer to obtain the same data.
Thank you! But I'm afraid/embarrassed we were part of the reason they exist.

It's very frustrating because so many people fall for the reviewers as "experts". I remember when the first of them, a blogger, called me to interview us. "I'm writing an article about you guys and btw you should setup affiliate links because more bloggers will write about you".. we setup links naively and had no idea what was about to happen. The blogger then wrote about a competitor, and then another, rebranded as an "expert mattress review site" and before we knew it we aided in launching a digital version of a mattress salesman who is paid commission. Later several other expert site clones popped up. They are SEOd to the max and I don't see them going away for awhile. We shut down our affiliate links realizing it made zero sense and was a mistake/incongruent with our values and mission. We were downgraded in the reviews the next week.

What I found really interesting was that some of the new look-alike brands that paid big kick backs leveraged the reviewers to speed track their growth without needing to rely on adwords/organic word of mouth.

I've yet to see any of the affiliates actually use real science/data or ASTM testing methods. It's "opinion based." We just ignore them knowing we'll lose some % of traffic and just stay focused on the customer.
While I think it's a topic worthy of informed debate. Looking at EU's antitrust decision against Google, the requirements to include competitors listings in results does not seem to have made much difference. Yelp's revenue streams are orthogonal and complementary to say, the results via local searches in Google Maps. Information is not a zero-sum game.

Much more urgent would be antitrust inquiry into consumer credit systems. Mortgage applicants are at the mercy of an opaque, antiquated credit score apparatus. While a majority of small businesses, professional services, and merchants prefer to be paid in check or cash in the US. For large transactions, this is a headwind against efficient commerce. The fee structure is simply too dashed high.

Why ruin a good story with facts?
Literally yes, it will never be that powerful, and that's intentional. The old way was so powerful, able to do anything, because well, it basically just ran your addon in the core browser's execution context. Way too scary to give add-ons that much power.

However I genuinely do want stuff that isn't yet implemented. For example I want add-ons to get access to Firefox's copy of the Public Suffix List, which is what you usually wanted when your add-on actually just treats TLDs as special. I just this evening sent a PR to PassFF, a popular password manager to do something crude as a stop gap while we wait to access the PSL via Web Extensions.
Unfortunately no.

It usually doubles per class from economy, premium economy, business to first class (for the cheapest tickets). But then of course there is more variance between airlines when it comes to business and first. A cheap first class intercontinental return ticket might be 2000€. More realistically you are looking at 3000€ to 4000€. If you have somewhere to go or a time to be there it can of course be a lot more.
This is exactly what uMatrix does
Its more of a Firefox devs pretending they did it first.
The 3 Tenets of Capitalism
Since knowledge of the salt and passphrase is sufficient to generate all the private keys needed to conduct transactions, the ability to extract those values is equivalent to being able to take any associated coins.

Additionally, the design allows for offline passphrase guessing attacks to be run by anyone without having to directly attack any particular wallet. They managed to re-invent brain wallets with a somewhat better (but still bad) KDF - WarpWallet's better.

If the device is used, then left unattended, the coins can be taken. If it's powered on, there's a reliable cold boot attack. If it's powered off, a backdoor can be installed that will exfiltrate the salt and passphrase on next use.

The original bounty offered was a sham - the sole "valid" attack vector was extracting key material from a device that had been used once and then shipped powered off (in most cases that I'm aware of, with a dead battery), and never had the passphrase entered into it again.

It looks to me like there's no way to make these things secure without a full product recall.

(I'm the researcher who wrote the tooling to automatically identify the salt and passphrase given a memory dump)
How the Brain Experiences Time
Yeah but there's a fundamental difference -- FFOS is a non-profit. They have to make money, of course, to stay afloat, but making it seem like a binary decision between FFOS and Firefox is a mistake.

I haven't looked at their books but surely there was enough money to fund FFOS if they just stopped their rapid expansion into every single emerging market they could find. Make 1 high quality, expensive headset, that nerds will buy (OnePlus did this), and keep working on the software.

IMO There are more than enough nerds out there (myself included) who will fork out $400/500 for a FFOS phone with how much of a difference it was from other OSes.
Virtue signalling in this context is giving the impression of doing something.

Saying "We should treat the environment better" while being honest about your own [lack of] contribution is perfectly fine.

By the same token, I can complain about a group, and as long as I don't claim that my complaints magically fixed the problem, that's fine.
Yup, they figured the two-engine plane will be more efficient than the old quad-jet A340. But this time, too, there is no standard economy, only premium eco & business.
