IANAL. If you are, why don't we set up a call. I'll explain it to you and you can tell me where I'm wrong. Then I won't tell a misleading story like this again.

I can only relate to you what I heard. I viewed what happened as criminal. The company would have viewed it as covered under our contract. Nothing to see here, folks! I'm guessing the AG wouldn't take up a complex legal criminal case involving tech if it looked like there was a good chance it could end up a civil matter. And so we're still in civil court.

I tried proposing several different remedies during our talk. What if I sued by myself? It might work. I might get part of the monies back. Or not. In either case it'd take a while.

What if I went to the press? If there's no proof of anything, and I don't have a lawyer, I could be getting into risky legal territory. It went on like this for a few minutes. Admittedly, not being an attorney, I probably forgot to mention a lot of things.

I can assure you this happened. And I'm happy to explain it to anybody that would like to hear it off-the-record. It's a fucked-up situation and I would love more than anything else for there to be some remedy like you're describing.

It's just not worth my time, or the time of the attorney I consulted, to chase down a remedy that's only going to be a few thousand bucks. Situations like this are why you have class action suits in the first place. Hell, I'll give you the name of the attorney and you can call and ask him.
No. So you are saying that you'll only support child pornography laws if you get all the rest of your political agenda? You mean that's a good thing too?

We both were air traffic controllers in the Air Force and met at our first base. My dad was enlisted military and her mom immigrated here, working as a nurse in the prison system. I now work from home as a data scientist for a cyber-security company.
Those values are almost always inflated upwards and should be taken with a few grains of salt.
I think we're just coming at it from two perspectives. Given your commentary below, it sounds like you are a rider and have experience in this space, thus you were skeptical of the story. In that light, your comments make sense.

My observation was simply that it sounded like a knowledgeable, or at least nominally helpful salesperson. You could be right, they may have simply been acting in their own best interest. And, it worked - they got a big sale by appearing friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable, and to my reading that was the point of the story - those things pay off in bigger sales.

I've had nearly the opposite kind of experience when I went to buy ski gear. The salesperson clearly didn't know anything about what they were selling. They could have sold me a $100 pair of gloves, as I was in the market and had no idea what they should cost. Likewise, had someone educated me I might have purchased a more expensive helmet. Instead, I walked out and eventually ended up with bargain bin gear that has served my needs just fine.
The whole point of Spectre is that you can indirectly access memory outside of your "sandbox" even if you don't have permissions to those pages, using various side channels.
Thus my "in our understanding" - I personally believe our view of intelligence, sapience, and self-awareness is pretty limited even from what we CAN relate to. It is easier to go through life we if assume the status quo of understanding.
> The only clear case is to call execve(2) in the child process just after fork(2).

It’s crystal clear that you should not call fork() then execve() in any nontrivial process or multithreaded process. Use posix_spawn() or, if you must roll your own, use vfork() or clone(). Even if you can arrange to use fork() correctly like this, it’s very slow in a process that uses a lot of MAP_PRIVATE memory.

People who live in the Silicon Valley bubble either don't seem to understand just how terrified people are in the heartland, or they don't care, or they don't understand the consequences of not caring. If Silicon Valley firms continue to use their power to bend reality to reflect the world view of the privileged coastal elites, then elections will no longer be viewed as free and fair. If that happens, then civil war is a real possibility.
No one cares why someone broke a law.

This is one example of routine acts committed by Cameroon’s military especially in the English-speaking regions. No reaction from international community. Instead, the west is asking Cameroon to investigate. They’re basically asking Cameroon govt to cover up its atrocities.

Video clearly shows Cameroon military shooting at mother with children. Same as hundreds of other incidents. What’s there to investigate?

Condemn the actions and let the govt face consequences.

As long as "anywhere" meant Windows and Solaris. There were a lot more commercial operating systems in those days (eg. Tru64, SCO, HP-UX, OpenVMS, AIX, Linux, QNX, Classic MacOS etc), many or most of which didn't get a JVM/JRE until much later.

I wonder if any significant amount of money was ever made from selling Java applets. I can't remember the last time I saw one in the wild.

I think ideally you would want to structure this somewhat like a seed funding round where you and the other people who will be working on this retain somewhere between 50-70% of the equity after spinning off and injecting new funding. However, based on the situation and investor profile you will probably have a hard time getting to think of you as anything more than an employee. Be prepared to walk.
Mixcloud actually had that. Then they've switched over to only displaying the current track. Then they've made some shitty version of music recognition similar to Shazam, which simply does not work for this use case (every single time it detects something, which happens almost never, it disregards that it's an edit/bootleg/remix of a song and displays the original instead).

In fact, as an uploader, you can still see it (I don't know why), but not as a listener. As an example, here's a screenshot of me viewing my own upload: https://imgur.com/a/REpxOgx

Editing tools still allow you to post accurate timestamps: https://i.imgur.com/gZabJUx.png

There's also a browser extension that modifies Mixcloud pages to display the tracklists again, but they're useless since no uploader has an incentive to go through the painful process of entering timestamps, and that process is now crowdsourced anyway thanks to 1001tracklists.
Reddit's unfriendly block-everything popup reminder for National Voter Registration Day got me wondering, does anyone know how effective these types of popups are?
The less-obtrusive popups that allow you to still see whatever you came to the site for seem better IMO, but I'm curious if they're less effective.
I thought of something related to you banning all of my accounts for 3 months for questioning your logic.

Your reasoning seems to be, “You asked about policy in the past, so therefore you may not ask about policy in the present. You also may not insinuate that I made a bad decision, otherwise I will ban you for three months.” Are you sure that’s productive?

Meanwhile, I just reported a security vulnerability in HN search that allows people to build a list of 894 YC founders’ HN usernames.

When I submitted https://news.ycombinator.com/topcolors to the front page, it took the site offline. I emailed immediately and the site was back online within about 10 minutes. How long would it have taken to diagnose why HN was suddenly taking 99% cpu?

I’ve been a community member for just as long as you’ve been.

You make correct decisions nearly 99% of the time. But those 1% of bad calls have long-lasting consequences, and there is no way to get you to reconsider your stance.

All of this could have been avoided by simply saying “I don’t think the topic was appropriate for HN, and so you were rate limited for a couple months. Check back then.”

You say I am a problem user and that you have no choice but to ignore me, when I am only asking “Hey, what is going on? Why is this happening?”

I don’t want to be writing these things publicly, but what choice do I have? You reject any attempt at dialog and treat people like worthless gnats unworthy of your time. Though it probably never seems like it from the swatter’s perspective.

I don’t get you.

Christian militias like the one seen in the video commit all sorts of atrocities in Africa. Honestly the video is not even as horrific as other christian atrocities committed and ongoing in the Central African Republic against Muslim minorities or the raping and pillaging in South Sudan.
Unless they’re doing something non-standard, wasm doesn’t care what language it came from.

That said, this claims it relies on emscripten, I think? You can do that with Rust, though it’s not the preferred way. I sure about Go.
The actual problem with this, after you have satisfied yourself about the numerous non-problems, is that practically any real app in wasm has calls to library code implemented in C or C++ and compiled to real asm to implement the extended Javascript runtime, that you would not want running in ring 0. To those are added all the kernel-mode functions that must be used correctly. (If the app can be provoked to use them wrong, boom.)

So, the plausible use is an implicitly trusted app not exposed to untrusted input, that is system-call bound, and that you want to distribute cross-platform without recompiling to targets that have installed this module in a known kernel version. It seems easier just to distribute source for a kernel module; or kernel modules built for the (2? 3 tops) architectures required.

[edit: spelling error.]
Because it legitimizes a false narrative.
Dropbox predates that api though. They used to hack into Finder.app's api IIRC.
You mean if the minority in the heartland continue to exert an oversized influence due to representational bias in Congress? Maybe the heartland should realize that their days of being majority are over, both demographically and by proportion and stop using the coastal elites excuse now that it's the coastal majority.

edit: I was just saying that the heartland is dying and doesn't yet realize it and that their death throes are going to screw us all. I don't think civil war is inevitable, I think that the "right wing" or whatever will fizzle over the coming years.
No. Some grocery stores accepts plastic bags for recycling, but none accept bottles or cans here. Eight miles away across the state line in Oregon they do, but the state has set up a system that requires Oregon ID in order to use the collection machines.

Or it's because we recognize that others also have freedom of speech, and freedom of association. If YouTube doesn't want Alex Jones spreading his unfounded conspiracies and saying that Sandy Hook victims are crisis actors, then why should they be obligated to associate with that?

I’m not sure this is a great benchmark (detailed in a comment above), but I think it’s undair to criticize a web framework for comparing itself to Django, node/express, Elixir/Phoenix. While dynamic languages, there’s billions of $ running on those frameworks and to present yourself as a fair alternative to those is good enough.

This article has a very interesting take on the subject. And for those that have not seen it live, here is a video:

As background info: Before this system was introduced, people would simply leave their smelly garbage bags on the street for collection, not a good idea in a hot and windy country.

I was not aware that it also helped to reduce the amount of garbage significantly (as the article describes). That is a very cool side effect - or was this planned?
Aren't those side channels dependent on addressing kernel memory that you don't have permissions for? You can't address kernel memory in WebAssembly, therefore you can't provoke the speculator into caching those pages.
You should try upgrading to a proper mill. Those McCormick grinders just kind of crush the corns into little pieces, a real grinder can produce a powerfully pungent powder that will really knock your socks off.

WebAssembly is a statically-typed language which passes values around using a stack. It’s very different from asm.js.

Few questions:

1. Would this be able to support subscription/recurring payments? E.g. for SaaS.

2. Do you have a versioned release of the JavaScript file so that Subresource Integrity (SRI) can be used?

3. Could you document the origins that the JavaScript file loads content of different types from, so that it would be easy to lock this down using a Content Security Policy?

Thanks.

If the new media and the tech companies were controlled by right wingers, you would be singing an entirely different tune. Namely the "Free Speech" tune, exactly as performed in Berkeley in the 60's.

The problem isn't with excluding "X" screeds. The problem is with dishonest actors who happen to have corporate power who label everything they disagree with as "X." The problem is with arbitrary corporate media power which can have an effect commensurate with government violation of the 1st amendment, but which skirts the law because it's "private."

In the 1960's the government sought to suppress the speech of students and large segments of the populace, then that populace sought to fight back using Free Speech. Now, in the 21st century, corporate media and tech power seeks to suppress the speech of large segments of the populace online. The question isn't whether or not it's the government. It's the question of whether or not coercive power is going against the will of a segment of the populace. It's the question of force vs. argument.
> Again, the point is that laws (and regulations) are too technologically specific. It's time to update.

To what? Without a convincing basis for the government to regulate a type of speech (like a limiting resource that needs to be licensed), your new law isn't going to make it past the first supreme court challenge.
Be open about it. Be prepared to talk about what you did during that time and how it helped you grow.

NSA engineer gets 5+ years for security breach
I think this polygon article does a generally fair analysis

Polygon is thoroughly biased and intellectually dishonest.

"As we work to hire rapidly and ramp up our policy enforcement teams throughout 2018, newer members may misapply some of our policies resulting in mistaken removals,"

Which, yea, hire a bunch of moderators out of San Francisco (I assume) and that can happen. But, the company rectified the issue.

The issue isn't rectified. Basically, those ideologues are just being sneakier.
Furthermore, I see all this anger about this technical decision affecting peoples privacy, but have not yet seen someone provide a good engineering solution to the problem it was trying to solve.

Example Use Case: I was contacted by my poor old mother recently who said that she was logged into "The Google" but was seeing the wrong emails! She was horribly confused.

What had happened was that my sister had checked her email on my mothers computer and forgot to log out. My mother was logged into Chrome (as it correctly said on the top right of the browser) but didn't understand that logging in/out of Gmail was a different thing.

To blame non technical users for being confused here is unfair at the least. And I'm sure there are millions of them with the same problem.

A technical user who cares about privacy can:

- not log into Google and use an external email client for Gmail

- use Gmail in incognito

- disable Chrome auto log in via the preferences (although I haven't tried this myself some people say it works, although I've seen conflicting info about if this works in future versions of Chrome).

- use Firefox (but if you are still using Gmail I'm rolling my eyes here)

I personally don't think it is too evil that Google cares more about people like my mother than advanced privacy conscious technical users.

Also I can't see how auto syncing ones account with Chrome really damages privacy any more than what is there now? If you are logged into Gmail they have your cookies while you browse the web anyway. If you privacy conscious enough that you log out of Gmail every time you are done, fair enough, but I would suggest not using Gmail at all in that case.

But most importantly I'd like to hear a better engineering solution for people like my mother?

Azul's Zulu fork is compatible with Oracle's but with a better concurrent, parallel, pauseless GC. I can't see a reason not to use theirs because their support is excellent (have tried) and any enterprise problems can be delegated to them with a support contract. IOW it works for indie devs and enterprise alike. It sounds like I'm pitching them, because they're a compelling alternative.
Cities and Memory: Remixing the World One Sound at a Time
So this means if you want to clear all your cookies you have to sign out of Google? I really don't see what the big deal is it looks like the button is pretty darn clear about what it does and does not do, perhaps they could include a link to sign out of google as well?
I haven’t seen a lot of evidence for this bias at all. The whole thing feels like just an update “liberal media bias”. Which was always a useful myth.

As GOP Chairman Rich Bond said,"There is some strategy to it [bashing the 'liberal' media...] If you watch any great coach, what they try to do is 'work the refs.' Maybe the ref will cut you a little slack on the next one."

> Every time I find interesting (and frighting) that we are nothing but a collection of ourselves and virus and bacterias, written down to our DNA and RNA or living together with close dependence deep in our guts (literally).

That's our bodies, not us. "Every time I find interesting (and fighting)" that people believe they are nothing but a collection of cells, chemicals and feelings. Most people (outside the audience of the HN perhaps) don't even recognize that the feelings are actually the chemicals and have little to do even with the objective reality, needless to say with their true self. Believing you are your body is almost the same as believing that you are your car or your GitHub account. That's not we, that's our bodies, our "cars" with baggage (memories etc) in them, in our true self "we are all Kosh" © Overwhelming majority of people just live in permanent "rubber hand illusion". Getting rid of the illusion and recalling who you actually are is, however, easy as 1-2-3: 1. get cousciously aware of your emotions and thoughts, distance from them and obseve them 2. turn your inner gaze from them to the direction of where do you feel you observe them from 3. recognize that what you see there (it looks like just nothing, just conscious "empty space") is the actual you and you will never be able to "unsee' that. One doesn't need any kind of religion or spirituality to realize this (although it actually is taught in the Tibetan religious tradition of Dzogchen), it is as simple as realizing the rubber hand is not a part of your body.
