At this point (with cricket powders, et al) I think a big reason is because it's so dang expensive.

If crickets are touted as this miracle protein that are easy to farm, low impact on the environment, and are still considered to be undesirable, then why are these companies charging $35/lb for their protein powder when you can get whey or pea powder for $6-8/lb?

Glossed over that part when I first read the comment! It was Haydn who essentially created "The Classical Style", which is perhaps the most perfect mode of musical discourse that humanity has yet encountered. His importance is under-stated in the statement that he is "the Shakespeare of Music". That is all quite apart from the innumerable volumes of individual masterpieces that he created!

> I had an idea to build a generic Webhook service. My thought was that the actual machine that does the requests should be 100% isolated from our VPS and only have public network access. Would that largely stop this attack? Perhaps it should also have a rate limiter to prevent DDOS attacks.

This would at least prevent it from attacking your own internal services but wouldn't prevent it from being made to make requests to other outside services. Effectively leaving you up as a potential proxy for other attacks. I.e. the SMTP TLS stuff, making you able to send spam on someone else's behalf. A bit nuts.

> C) These white or blacklists are circumvented due to bad parsing

The main problem is that the parsing is inconsistent between different subsystems, i.e. the parse function interprets the URL one way and the fetch function interprets the URL in another way.
This is why I think the most practical solution is to add another layer of validation that checks that a given URL belongs to a very small subset of all valid URLs that is interpreted consistently across all your functions.

Super useful, in fact. A lot of the code I write follows a typical pattern of bottleneck code in C++ with python wrappers, or a mixture of pure python nodes (for the things that don't have to be super fast) and pure C++ nodes. This is fairly common throughout ROS. If catkin played better with current Python packaging and virtual environment systems (virtualenv/conda) it would be so much better, though.

Pinterest does have a good UX for their target users though. They are targeting people, like my wife, who use it to create a visual collection of ideas for the next remodel or the next quilt or next woodworking project. She is looking for pictures and what is currently trendy so Google Image Search alone doesn't solve her problem. She doesn't mind using her Facebook account because she will show off her completed projects there any way. I just don't think you are one of their target users.
I've never googled something in an interview (typically for the face-to-face part I'm not at a computer so that would be difficult, and googling under pressure seems like a bad idea).

But I have told interviews that I don't know, but I'd google it if I needed to in a work situation, and that's always been received positively. I guess it depends on what they're asking about though. Some stuff you should know off the top of your head...
I've been working on an annotated disassembly of the Yamaha DX7 ROM, it's been quite a trip so far. Figuring out all the hardware, how the operators and the envelope generators work by looking at the code, the midi implementation and so on.

I work a little bit on it every week on Saturday evening, it's my way of winding down from a busy week. Other people play Sudoku ;)

In case you're wondering why: I'd like to de-solder the CPU from a broken motherboard that I have (besides two working ones) to see how hard it is to take over the hardware by simulating the CPU with a RasPi, but for that I have to know exactly how the bloody thing works in the first place and it is quite a complex beast. The ROM is 16K.

Deciphering content from latencies in packetized speech is likely much more difficult, but I wouldn't put much stock in it being too difficult.

Which is to say, if you're transferring high-value information assets over VoIP you should probably assume it's decipherable. That doesn't mean you should change what you're doing. You could simple say, "M'eh, I'll worry about it when it becomes a thing." But I wouldn't assume it's confidential to someone willing to invest the time to target and capture the conversations. And I might leave a few choice comments in the source code and documentation so nobody could excuse imprudent reliance on confidentiality with, "But nobody warned me".

Just to clarify, it is a "government-run" PKI in the sense that some governments control some TLDs, as opposed to the CA ecosystem where a single rogue (government-run) CA can issue a certificate for any domain (happily ignoring any CAA record).

It would be nice to have something like Certificate Transparency for DNSSEC (at least for the TLDs), but for now CT has the problem that it is only a requirement for new certs, and a rogue CA could backdate a cert they maliciously created for your domain.

Why can’t art just be appreciated itself, without all this “story” baggage?

I think art expresses something inside a person. Sometimes, people find it meaningful on its own. Sometimes they don't and understanding can be enhanced by "story" or whatever.

Kind of a case of sometimes words get in the way and sometimes words help bridge the gap between two minds.

/random internet stranger who didn't actually read the article, just your comment
if that meets the semantics of what you’re trying to do, great. but often in programming it’s not. the depth of the copy you want depends on what you’re trying to do. copying pointers (or references, or whatever might point to dynamically allocated memory) by value means using a garbage collector or reference counting mechanism, or risk a memory leak.
I'm curious how your theory of art deals with minimalism and conceptual art. I suspect you'd have to admit that mid-century we collectively expanded the definition of beauty to include modern ideas – structure, process – and expressions of irony.
I was referring mostly to the concept of "A crypto nerd's imagination".

Seriously, it is unlikely someone would put the money and R&D effort required to replicate the researcher's solution with the goal of stealing these camera systems on the wheels that can be disabled remotely.

So I'd rather advocate for Tesla to continue using inexpensive and secure enough solution to unlock doors. And focus their efforts on making the thing actually safer, like not accelerating into and colliding with concrete barriers.

I don't know if you and I can see eye-to-eye on the reasons for and the importance of having one's articles cited by the rest of the academic community. Citations of one's work indicates thought leadership in the academic community regardless of how much you personally disagree with those thoughts.

The second study divided the ocean into much smaller squares (123 square kilometers)and found only 4% had fishing activity in 2016.

Ask HN: I screwed up and am struggling. What would you do?
I saved up enough money to quit my stable high paying job to finish an app I had been working on. Then out of nowhere, my spouse was given a life-altering diagnosis which put them out of work and we lost everything. I paused the app to job search but still can't get hired.

It has now been two years and still no luck! I've made and remade countless resumes, been to workshops, hackathons, made it to many interviews, and even got contacted by some big fours out of nowhere. They are super excited until they aren't. One month became two months became six months and eventually I'm experiencing imposter syndrome and wondering why I didn't just fold and flip burgers long ago.

This last week I didn't get hired because I didn't "engineer" FizzBuzz the same way a data structures and algorithms guru might have. Do I cram data structures and algorithms more? Earn more points on hackerrank? I feel like I'm gambling my life away doing this. Do I get a degree and maybe wind up in the same situation but with student debt? I could really use some help.

> the whole peer review committee

What do you mean? Do you expect the whole editorial board to review every paper? I think it’s usual for acceptance to be decided by one editor, based on the report from referees (in the case of the NYJM, one referee). Peer review is provided by the external referee(s), not by the journal editors (but they can also act as reviewers for submissions handled by another editor, I guess it depends on the journal’s policy).

> That said of all the actuaries I went to school with, none liked their jobs and all eventually moved on to do something else.

Part of that, from my perspective, involves the slow pace imposed by overbroad regulations on the applications of actuarial science.

I personally think that a diverse market of specialized insurance products would be an immense moral good, but in the established jurisdictions where demand for such a thing is high, it is hard to gauge whether your novel insurance products are even legal to sell. My (admittedly anecdotal) impression is that this contributes a great deal to the drudgery and stagnancy of actuarial work.
A phone book is a great analogy?

This is partially a reporting bias issue, because these are average values across all colleges. The actuarial exams set the bar high for everyone regardless of college.

> what in particular is to stop Cab Company X from saturating the roads with cabs in a brute force attempt to capture a higher proportion of the ridership

They can, but so what? The sheer number of cabs it would take to 'saturate the roads' means enormous amount of upfront capital. But that also means cheap prices (essentially 0 profitability) - and isn't that what we want?

Leaving that aside, if the roads get clogged to the extent that service is compromised, people will do what they do today, and that is, rely on mass public transit (LIKE THEY DO TODAY). If I'm in New York or Hong Kong, sometimes I'd rather take the subway than have my taxi or uber fight traffic.

There are no issues here.

>while I go in to shop at this store, my car circles the block for the next hour waiting for me)

I heard that argued before, and I say this: never going to happen. That's a pipe dream of driverless car aficionados.

Your car is never going to be able to compete with a fleet because the base operating cost of a driverless taxi is going to be fuel cost + maintenance and fleets will always be able to underprice you due to economies of scale. In essence, if you rent out your car, you will lose money because you will, at the very least, have to contend with the wear and tear.

But even if you just want the car to 'wait' by circling the block (instead of 'working' while it waits for you) ... it's not cheap to have the car circle the block for an hour. 1 hour of driving is going to cost you in fuel. It's going to put wear and tear on your car. You'll risk collision and traffic tickets. It may not be worth it to do that all the time. HAVING SAID THAT, once in a while, maybe you want to take that hit, and isn't it nice to have the option to do that? Maybe you're running late for your flight, and you want to quickly run in to the store to pick something up - take the hit and the risk.

There is no free lunch but options are good.
Paper notes: Masstree – cache craftiness for fast multicore key-value storage
David Friedman's The Machinery Of Freedom goes into detail about these kinds of scenarios. There is far too much there to summarize here.

The one point I will make is that, when people imagine anarchy, they imagine the society we have now, and then just take away government and all its functions, such as police. Of course what you get when you imagine that is terrible. But it's terrible not because anarchy is terrible, but because our society has evolved for centuries to (a) assume that government will always be there, and (b) gradually put more and more functions on government, even if they would actually be better done privately.

Of course what you get if you take a society like that and just remove government will be bad; but that's not a fair picture of what a society that had evolved for a long time as an anarchy--i.e., in which people understood that there was no government to "fix" all their problems, so they need to come up with workable solutions themselves--would look like. Friedman's book is an attempt to imagine that, in detail.

> we have a lot of evidence of what happens in societies with out 3rd party enforcement

No, we don't. We have a few failed states like Somalia today, but they are few; almost all societies on the planet today have governments.

However, when you start looking back at historical examples, you find much more promising cases. One that Friedman discusses in his book is saga period Iceland, which did quite well for centuries with no government. Other examples are some of the American colonies--Pennsylvania up until the 1750s or so is a good case--which, while they had entities they called governments, used them for nothing except to represent them in negotiations with other colonies and with the British government. These "governments" had no law enforcement powers and no powers of taxation, and people came up with various private means of working together and enforcing what we would call "laws" (but which were not brought into being by legislative fiat, but by contractual agreements between individuals).
